Chapter 1081: Die For Your Own Good
She mulled over the question of who the other tasktaker was. Whose body were they in?
However, the most important issue right now was the curse. Ning Shu asked 2333, “Is there really no way to undo it?”
“There isn’t. This curse is a one-time use item, but whoever is cursed will die without fail. This means that you’ll definitely fail this task.” 2333 sounded very helpless. “Good thing you exchanged for a protective talisman earlier. This protective talisman will be able to take one life for you.”
Fudge. She really couldn’t bring herself to accept it.
“Let’s leave this world,” said 2333. “You’ll be dying soon anyways.”
Ning Shu bit her lips tightly as she asked, “How do I leave?”
“Of course by dying. Commit suicide,” replied 2333 lightly.
Fudge, how could she do something that pathetic? As soon as she died, Mu Xue would ascend to the throne was the heir apparent. It’d still be a man ascending to the throne, so it’d be no different from the original storyline.
Ning Shu shook her head. Even if the task was going to be a fail, she still had to endure it and make sure that other task-taker, whoever they were, wouldn’t be able to complete their task that easily. Even if she was going to die, she still had to achieve something.
“I’m telling you to die for your own good. This curse is extremely painful. It’ll be like having a thousand ants nibbling at your heart constantly, like having all your bones crushed. The target pretty much dies from the pain, and you’ll also continue to vomit blood.” 2333’s tone was very helpless.
What the frick!? Ning Shu was so startled that she almost jumped up. It was her first time seeing such a malicious item, and it had even been used on her.
She had always only picked items that would help protect her and increase her own abilities, so she had never noticed that these kinds of items existed.
Ning Shu felt a fishy sweetness in her throat again. Blood was flooding up. Ning Shu swallowed the blood back down with a faint smile, then lifted the teacup to take a sip and rinse her mouth. With a gulp, she swallowed the bloody water in her mouth.
2333: …
This must be a real-life portrayal of swallowing your broken teeth along with your own blood after being beaten up.
“You’re really not leaving?” asked 2333. “This is going to be really really painful. Extremely painful. There are very few people that can endure it. It’s the most malicious item in the system, number one in maliciousness. All the people who have been cursed with it before had killed themselves.”
2333：“……”
Ning Shu: →_→
She was already scared from the start, and he was still elaborating more on the horrors of this curse?
Ning Shu was pretty uneasy, but running off with her tail tucked between her legs was too pathetic.
Endure it. This lil’ sis was someone who had been able to endure over a dozen years of chemotherapy, no pain would take this sis down!
Although Ning Shu was already mentally prepared, that night, she truly learned what it meant to be in so much pain that you wanted to just die. It felt like countless thin needles were stabbing into all of her organs, it was so painful she couldn’t even breathe. On top of that, it also felt like there was a hammer that was slowly and rhythmically crushing all of her bones inch by inch.
Also, she was also vomiting blood like she wanted to vomit her organs out. There was a moment when she wanted to just die. It was like her body was purgatory. Even though she had prepared painkillers beforehand, it had been completely useless.
This kind of curse seemed to damage a person’s mental state more. It made people feel like they were in extreme pain. There was as much pain as physically possible since it stacked all the extreme pain that a person could feel.
Ning Shu was in so much pain that she rolled around helplessly on the bed. She bit her blankets hard. When she seriously couldn’t take it anymore, she started stuffing huge handfuls of antidote pills in her mouth. This curse was like poison. Although eating antidote pills didn’t have any effect, she couldn’t do anything except tell herself that this had an effect.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you alright!?” Court Lady Qiu who was holding the spittoon by the dragon bed was so worried that she was crying. “This servant will go find an imperial physician.”
“Come back.” Ning Shu’s voice was barely audible. “Don’t spread this news.”
What use was there in calling an imperial physician? They wouldn’t be able to do anything. All Ning Shu was doing now was holding out for as long as she could.
