Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2358 Dirty

Sure enough, if you have a guilty conscience, you can find any bug.

The sand grains fall between my fingers at a uniform speed, and with such exquisite control, even the total number of free falls remains constant.

However, within such a stable system, the subtle colors it reflects are constantly changing and so faint that they are difficult to grasp.

Scarlet Fever.

Fortunately, as a notorious villain, he has always had a keen sense for certain things.

Almost immediately before payment, it was confirmed that it was indeed that filthy force that they had dealt with many times before.

As a widely circulated curse, this thing is quite well-known among the extraordinary individuals in the bookstore world.

Including the first time I saw it, it was when some fearless contestant tried to use it as a deterrent.

Although the final outcome was death in the line of duty, it allowed him to witness firsthand what a scarlet angel truly is.

What was even more eye-opening was the underwater prison of a certain giant corporation.

Those clumps bursting out of the body even contained the plan for the return of a certain calamity star.

Not long after that, he even seemed to witness the birth of this curse—the regicide in the long night.

On that night of assassination, under the cover of the dark moon, "Mourning God" launched a sneak attack.

In addition to the blessing of the Dragon King's Dimensional Poison, there is also a special kind of pollution on it.

Almost instantly, a curse similar to the one before him arose on the tyrant he was playing.

In short, a special power that is closely related to oneself and whose intellectual property rights should be enjoyed by the tyrant.

However, after it was officially transformed into a remastered version, this thing did not, like the Mad Fire, return its power to itself.

why?
This is a question that is quite easy to ask.

Then it seems that hard work pays off, and this time it finally appeared—although the question remains: why?
……

Because I brought my umbilical cord with me this time.

The answer to the second question is far too simple.

As mentioned earlier, there was no need to put a collar around the neck; the moment they entered, something unusual was already happening.

Rather than the possibility that he was given a surprise after a few days, it's more likely that his actions of exploiting the bug worked.

As a mechanically remade King of the Abandoned Prison, and with the added label of an ancient superior brought by the umbilical cord, he ultimately triggered the special reaction of the Abandoned Prison before him—although theoretically there should not be any special reaction.

Even when he first donned the god's skin, the warehouse made it clear that he was "He".

Then, with the help of Master Yuhun, he achieved 120% of his Tyrant form.

Therefore, it seems that the attribute of being in a superior position in ancient times should be something that one should possess by default, no matter what.
In this situation, a more rational player would likely not take this test.

But as a self-proclaimed academic, how could he possibly have such a bad habit? He had even just taught Professor Lisa a lesson about it.

As an item clearly associated with the concept of superiority and particularly easy to test, the umbilical cord is definitely worth bringing in for a quick look.

Surprisingly, it lived up to that expectation. This somewhat illogical gain, combined with the previous "why," suddenly made the situation delicate.

Before I saw this thing, it would have been a reasonable explanation to say that my current form was the pure version, with the destruction-based pollution of Crimson Frenzy automatically removed.

But what does it mean that it suddenly reappeared now? Does it mean that I am no longer pure because I have this umbilical cord?
Although the warehouse's description at the time stated that umbilical cords were indeed not very clean and were strictly forbidden from being brought into missions, even if we reluctantly accept this explanation, another question immediately arises—how did the curse get here?
This is a place like the Kingdom of the Abandoned Prison King, can you just walk in like that? And so quickly at that.

Before I even started paying, I was very certain that something was happening right away, and it's only getting worse.

He grabbed another handful of sand from the ground, but this time he didn't let it flow down at a steady pace; instead, he threw it out directly.

As the sand and gravel fell, the scarlet color became even clearer, and the remaining luster even seemed to wriggle.

……

Scarlet Angel.

I've seen and even tasted that kind of thing before.

Although it was fleeting, Fu Qian still found familiar elements in it.

It is that kind of "organism" that is cultured in flesh and blood and eventually extracted.

This curse seems to be becoming increasingly active, and it's everywhere, as if it works like a handful of sand—so it's actually been abandoned all along? Was it just triggered by my actions this time?

At that moment, a conclusion was drawn so naturally that even the desolation before us seemed to diminish in intensity.

It has to be said that there is some truth to it. Don't forget that it was mentioned in the memoir that the sand itself contains elements of those who have been scorched for thousands of years and lost their homeland.

After the tyrant's fall, not only did the mad fire lose control, but the curse he was under also dissipated and eventually melted together... Such a change seems quite reasonable.

Even the extraordinary beings outside often leave behind a trail of pollution after they die.

Furthermore, the crimson light rising before my eyes is clearly centered on myself—oh?

Looking ahead thoughtfully, Fu Qian didn't even try to grab any more sand this time.

In the blink of an eye, some things were already rolling on the sand and gravel, becoming extremely clear.

It is also quite obvious that the closer you are to the location, the denser the concentration.

But if we really assume that Scarlet Fever has always existed, then the previous question seems to need to be answered.

So just how dirty is the umbilical cord that it could trigger this curse?
Or—it's not the umbilical cord that's dirty, it's yourself?

At one point, Fu Qian looked down at himself and bluntly came to another terrifying conclusion.

It seems that mere uncleanliness alone cannot necessarily induce a curse.

The fact that they could remain hidden here suggests that Scarlet Fever was still accepted by the Abandoned Prison.

So what would most likely trigger its reaction is its own identity as the King of the Abandoned Prison.

So, could the core of the umbilical cord-induced reaction still lie in the label of "ancient rulers"?

Scarlet Fever was sparked because of this label.

Why can it be provoked? Because it originally belonged to ancient tyrants.

So... there is still a difference between ancient and modern times.
With a slight frown, Fu Qian reached out and crushed a cluster of scarlet blood that had been gathered around him.

Even along with this somewhat brutal action, another kind of brutality rose from the depths of his heart.

A bloodlust that doesn't seem to belong to him.

First update, then revise.
