C80 – The Inexplicable Death
Suddenly, Number Three’s head tilted at an odd angle, and blood began to pour from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He was lifeless.
Jiang Hao jumped in shock and quickly stepped forward.ViiSiit for latest novels
“Hey! Hey!”
“Are you okay?”
There was no response to Jiang Hao’s questions. His face turned a shade paler.
“Damn, he’s not dead, is he?”
Mimicking what he’d seen on TV, Jiang Hao placed his finger under Number Three’s nose, now bleeding from every orifice.
But the next moment, he stumbled and ended up squatting on the ground.
“Holy... He’s really dead!”
“What do I do? What do I do?”
Panic set in for Jiang Hao.
“Should I call the police?”
“No, it’s deserted here, no cameras, no one to vouch for me!”
“I didn’t kill him, though. He was just fine a minute ago!”
Jiang Hao stared at Number Three, blood still oozing from his orifices, confusion in his eyes.
Yet, the gaping hole in the nearby wall stood as stark evidence that this was no dream at all.
With the disappearance of Corpse Number 3, Jiang Hao finally shook off the shackles of fear.
But the message from the system that popped into his mind made his lips involuntarily twitch.
“To hell with tasting a hundred herbs!”
The system’s snark allowed Jiang Hao’s tightly wound nerves to relax considerably.
Rolling his eyes, Jiang Hao issued his next command.
“Begin fusion.”
As the fusion process unfolded, he felt an energy surge through his body, sending a shiver down his spine, and then, nothing more.
Once the fusion was complete, Jiang Hao turned to meticulously inspect the ground for any remaining traces.
After thorough scrutiny, he quickly made his way home.
Ignoring his mother’s welcoming words, Jiang Hao beelined for his room and shut the door behind him.
It was then that he confronted the system with his burning question.
“System, why did the skill to resist all poisons emerge from decomposing a human corpse?”
Indeed, this latest decomposition had left him utterly perplexed; there was no apparent connection between a human corpse and total poison immunity.
“Ding, host, decomposing human corpses indeed does not grant immunity to all poisons!”
“In fact, the system didn’t gain anything from decomposing the human corpse. The immunity to poison was acquired from neutralizing the deadly toxins within that corpse!”
