Chapter 923

This curse of 【Decay】, I've taken a liking to it.

Hearing Cheng Shi's words, Chun nodded solemnly and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi was stunned: "No, you're just leaving?"

Chun's figure paused. She turned her head and asked with some confusion: "Wasn't it you who told me to go busy myself with my own affairs?"

"..."

Fine, once the topic of revenge ends, she turns seven again.

Cheng Shi rolled his eyes and pointed unhappily at the chaotic Grand Court of Judgment's main camp in the direction of the Boruo Highlands:

"You made the situation so tense, forced us down from the mountaintop, and wasted so much of my mental energy, and now you're just leaving after saying that?

It seems you've taken all the benefits."

"I followed you down. You chose the direction."

"I..." Cheng Shi's voice stalled. He suppressed the thought of giving up on the cooperation and let out a heavy breath: "Don't force me to badmouth my own ally. Compensation, hand over the compensation first, let me see your sincerity."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately added: "No daggers, take back those pieces of junk you call daggers!"

Chun obediently took back the daggers she had just taken out, then said with a troubled expression:

"Except for the tools used to hunt and assassinate that rat, I have nothing else."

"You do, you have it." Cheng Shi pointed unhappily at Chun's head: "This curse of 【Decay】, I've taken a liking to it.

To be honest, I have recently been studying the essence of the Oathbreaker's curse and regard it as another kind of blessing from Them.

Deconstructing this kind of blessing can give me more inspiration regarding the power of faith. As for how to deconstruct it, hmph, that's a secret; I won't tell you.

However, things like the Oathbreaker's curse are very rare, so I can only collect them slowly.

Since I've encountered it this time, you have no choice, Chun. Hand over the curse; consider it your sincerity for cooperating with me.

Otherwise... forget about the cooperation."

Once these words were out, not only Chun, but even Vice President Sun of the Historical School was shocked.

She stared at Cheng Shi in disbelief, her face filled with uncontrollable shock, and her fingers typed rapidly: "Curses cannot be deconstructed."

These words were said so firmly that Cheng Shi's gaze toward her held a hint of playfulness.

"You are just a believer of 【Silence】. Even if you are close to 【Dementia】, you cannot speak for 【Dementia】.

How do you know curses cannot be deconstructed?"

"I..." Sun Miao typed a few times, then silently withdrew her hand.

She fell silent.

But Chun was excited. The expression of this Crown of Thorns became even more twisted. She stepped in front of Cheng Shi, grabbing his shoulders tightly, wanting to say something but unable to open her mouth, just nodding blindly, nodding with red eyes.

The curse of 【Decay】 had already wasted too many of her opportunities. If it weren't for this tug-of-war from the Oathbreaker, her process of hunting Lin Xi would have been much smoother.

At this moment, Cheng Shi making such a request was not a demand to her at all, but an act of charity.

He was bestowing liberation upon her.

Chun was not stupid; she was not truly seven years old. She could feel Cheng Shi's kindness, and she also knew that this kindness did not come from the other party's sympathy, but from Xiang Honglin, who also belonged to the 【Prosperity】 camp.

It was because of Xiang Honglin that Cheng Shi gave her this opportunity.

She was overjoyed, yet also heartbroken.

Because she knew she owed too much and could no longer bring anything to 【Prosperity】.

But she seemed to still be able to bring something to this "generous" Fate Weaver. Thinking of this, Chun withdrew her offending hands and clenched the command flag behind her back.

But to be honest, the chips Cheng Shi wanted were far from the present. If Lin Xi really did something to her under the instruction of 【Annihilation】, then Chun would definitely be the most reliable ally, bar none.

So even if it was to solidify the alliance relationship in this trial, he had to release his kindness first; after all, this could be a life-or-death situation.

So, under the gaze of the other two, Cheng Shi once again activated the faded power from 【Decay】 and gently wiped it over Chun's head, taking away all the Oathbreaker's curses that had tortured her for countless days and nights.

"!!!"

Surprise, astonishment, fear.

Chun had never thought that one day she could get rid of the "gift" from her "old boss." This scene, which felt like a dream, appeared before her eyes, making her feel a bit anxious for a moment.

Could this be an illusion? It doesn't seem like it!

Because the moment 【Decay】 left her body, the 【Prosperity】 power in her was no longer suppressed and surged out like a tide. In the blink of an eye, the "man" with the scabby head in front of her regained a head of black, beautiful hair. Looking at her now, she actually had a bit of...

Forget it, she still looks like a man, like a man with long hair.

Chun looked very rugged; otherwise, she wouldn't have been mistaken for a man just because she had no hair. However, her appearance didn't need any compensation, just like her experience—it didn't need outsiders to comment.

She was just persisting in doing things she thought were meaningful, just like the millions of lost players in this game, finding a psychological anchor to survive, as well as an excuse to convince herself.

Even though all this happened right before her eyes, Sun Miao still couldn't believe it.

She looked at Cheng Shi's arm with burning eyes, and after feeling the purest power of 【Decay】, she said with great interest:

"Is this the result of your research on curses?

Deconstructing the power of curses into one's own power?

How rich is this taste of 【Decay】? How many curses of 【Decay】 have you deconstructed?

Are other curses also possible?

【Truth】? 【Dementia】?... Or 【Silence】?"

When listing the gods, Sun Miao had a clear pause, and then she typed smoothly again:

"I am very interested in this method of deconstruction. I can exchange it for any history or intelligence you want to know, no matter how much. How about it, Cheng Shi?"

"Not interested." Cheng Shi chuckled and directly rejected the deal: "What I want, you don't have, and what you want... I don't have either."

Sun Miao only thought Cheng Shi was brushing her off, not knowing that this sentence was the only truth Cheng Shi spoke.

The idea of "deconstructing curses" was nonsense; he was merely utilizing the authority granted by 【Decay】. As for the curses of other gods...

Don't even think about it. Unless They themselves are willing, who would dare to risk angering a god to bear the wrath for someone else?

However, in the eyes of Chun and Sun Miao, Cheng Shi had taken the wrath of 【Decay】 for the Crown of Thorns. As for how he turned this wrath into protection... that was the question Sun Miao was most interested in.

"Chun still has another curse on her body. Why not take that one too?"

"..."

Can I take it?

Do you think I really have a Purple Gold Gourd that can take anyone?

Fortunately, Cheng Shi had been on guard. He sneered and refused: "I said, this method only works for the Oathbreaker's curse. The curse of 【Annihilation】 was planted by someone else; it wasn't obtained by Chun breaking an oath, so it's useless to me.

Don't ask anymore. It's impossible for me to share such secrets."

Sun Miao clearly didn't give up, but she also knew that there was no rush. So she decisively closed her mic and started thinking of other ways.

Chun looked at Cheng Shi with gratitude. Feeling the power of 【Prosperity】 circulating in her body without any obstruction, she couldn't wait to find Lin Xi for another life-or-death battle.

Cheng Shi naturally wouldn't care about these things. He reiterated that he would only act when he should. As for what Chun wanted to do, what she was doing, or whether she was dead before he acted, it had nothing to do with him.

Chun understood Cheng Shi's meaning, so she expressed her gratitude again, then gritted her teeth, left behind the few 【Prosperity】 healing potions she had, and decisively left.

Looking at these potions, which were so familiar that he couldn't even find a place to put them, Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed.

It seems that Big Cat's decision was similar to his own; she had also helped Chun quite a bit in secret.

Seeing Chun leave in a hurry, Sun Miao typed thoughtfully again:

"She won't live long. The command flag gave her power, but it also annihilated her vitality.

She didn't have to be like this, but she was too impatient.

However, I can understand her impatience. In this era where God-Chosen open their arms to embrace the fusion of faiths, how difficult it is to get the gaze of a second Him..."

The mime master had many emotions, but Cheng Shi's expression was strange.

Difficult...

Yes, that's right, deliberately suppressing one's own power to avoid exposing a third or fourth faith is indeed quite difficult, even more difficult than obtaining a second faith.

However, Cheng Shi would at most think about these thoughts in his heart; he wouldn't dare to speak them out. So he pointed to the direction of the Boruo Highlands again and said with a serious face:

"Since Chun appeared here, it means Lin Xi also has his own time.

Such a big commotion happened in the main camp, and he can't be unaware of it. Yet he hasn't shown up yet. Tell me, what do you think this God-Chosen with poor hair quality is doing?"

Poor hair quality...

You just restored Chun's hair and now you're starting to target the 【Decay】 believers with sarcasm, right?

Fine, fine, fine. Sun Miao glanced at Cheng Shi expressionlessly, didn't respond, but silently made a note for him: Sarcasm Master!

This person is quite good at sarcasm, on par with Chen Shu.
