Chapter 275 Cursed Artifact Collector

"What do you want?!" The veterinarian was too weak to struggle. The man before him was more cunning and evil than a ghost; he wouldn't be surprised by anything the man did. "Let me go, and I can stay and help you..."

"I'm very curious to know where these animal carcasses came from?"

"It was done by that monster. I rarely torture people..."

"Who inflicted those countless wounds and stitches on the monster's body?" Han Fei asked, leaving the veterinarian speechless. "I am a very kind person and never kill innocent people indiscriminately. You and it should resolve your own issues."

Han Fei tried to stuff the nearly soulless veterinarian into the ghost pattern. After attracting the attention and anger of Jiu Ming, he began to use the veterinarian as a bargaining chip to conduct simple training on Jiu Ming.

The most basic rule is that as long as Jiuming doesn't harm Han Fei, Han Fei is willing to help it take revenge.

As fate would have it, the veterinarian never imagined he would one day become a cat toy.

With the veterinarian's life-risking help, Nine Lives finally learned to obey simple commands, but his loyalty remained at zero.

Watching the Nine Lives gradually become obedient, Han Fei picked up the veterinarian's lingering spirit in his hand, feeling quite accomplished: "Is this why everyone likes to keep small pets? They are indeed quite stress-relieving."

Another ten minutes or so passed, and seeing that the loyalty level remained unchanged, Han Fei finally sent the veterinarian into the ghost pattern.

After the veterinarian was completely killed by Nine Lives, its loyalty finally dropped to one.

At the same time, Han Fei received another notification from the system.

"Attention player ID 0000! You have successfully explored ten buildings, lit up Yimin Street on the map, and obtained a random exploration reward chest. Please open the map page to select one!"

Han Fei had received a system notification before going to Animal Alley, and now he had finally completed the exploration task.

"I almost lost my life just trying to explore this street."

In other games, players would probably have left the starting village long ago, but Han Fei has been playing for so long and is still wandering the streets outside the starting point, with a pitiful level of only eleven. He doesn't know whether his progress is considered fast or slow.

Open the map, and in the boundless darkness shrouded by night, there are a few faint points of light, which are almost invisible if you don't look closely.

By zooming in on the map to its maximum, Han Fei finally found his location. All the buildings he had explored were connected by a thin line of light, about the width of a fingernail.

"Just how big is this deeper world? I feel like I'll never be able to explore it all in my lifetime?"

Just looking at that pitch-black map could make one feel despair. Han Fei sighed softly, then he rallied his spirits and reached out to click on the exploration chest on the map.

"Rewards are being selected randomly..."

"Congratulations, player ID 0000! You have obtained the G-level auxiliary exploration ability - Targeted Item Collection!"

"Please select a type of item, such as money, food, or weapons. After confirming your selection, you will have a certain probability of receiving a prompt when that type of item is nearby while exploring the map."

This was the first time Han Fei had ever seen an ability that aided in exploration; such an ability would be very helpful for exploring and clearing maps.

"In the Deep World, money is like waste paper, food of unknown origin is no different from poison, and weapons are somewhat useful. However, I'm going to the Death Tower next, and what I need most is not weapons or resentment, but cursed objects."

Resentment entering the Dead Building will be randomly sent to a room. No matter how much resentment Han Fei brings, everyone will be separated. However, cursed objects do not seem to be subject to this rule.

After a moment's thought, Han Fei chose the slightly less common type of cursed object.

"You have successfully acquired the G-level auxiliary exploration ability - Cursed Item Collector!"

"This is a passive ability. When there are cursed items in the buildings around you, there is a chance to receive a system notification!"

"Attention Player 000! There is an undiscovered cursed item in the pet shop! Please retrieve it immediately!"

The system immediately gave Han Fei a prompt as soon as he acquired this passive ability.

"Is this pet shop hiding cursed items?"

They got the neighbors to search together, and they eventually found the medium-sized resentful creature imprisoned in a cage.

The blood-red chain binding that resentment seemed to be the cursed object in the pet shop.

"Open the cage, people don't matter, just don't break the chains."

Han Fei's neighbors opened the cage to subdue the medium-sized resentful creature, and then waited for Han Fei to make his move.

The Rebirth Blade easily sliced ​​through the resentful body, perhaps because it had committed too many sins, the blade cleaving it open from the chest.

The remnant soul screamed hysterically, its scars and butterfly patterns melting away, and blackish-red blood flowed from the slit in its chest. Then, a tattered pupa fell to the ground.

"Human pupa?"

Han Fei hadn't seen this thing in a long time, but he remembered it clearly: many of the outsiders controlled by the butterflies had pupae buried inside their bodies.

Butterflies seem to use themselves to manipulate outsiders, while also using them as a breeding ground for human pupae.

The broken-open pupa was full of viscous blood, and the undeveloped worms inside were crawling on the ground, clearly on the verge of death.

Han Fei hadn't paid any attention to it at first, but what happened next surprised him. The ghosts that had accumulated in the pet shop seemed to be attracted by this deformed insect, and they all wanted to crawl into the insect's body, as if that would give them a new life.

The insect that crawled out of the pupa prematurely did not have beautiful butterfly patterns on its body, but only black scars. It could not withstand the remnants of too many animals' souls and stopped moving after only a few seconds.

"Human pupae are butterflies specifically used to control resentment. They feed on flesh and blood and human nature. The more complex the human nature, the more beautiful the butterfly pattern that is born seems to be." Han Fei took out the human pupae he had obtained before from his inventory.

The tiny human pupa had absorbed enough blood to become almost transparent, and the thing inside seemed about to burst out of the cocoon.

"What would happen if we fed it animalistic instincts instead of human nature?"

Han Fei had no use for the human pupa. After hesitating for a moment, he dug out a blood pool under the pile of corpses in the pet shop and put the mature human pupa into it.

At first there were no abnormalities, but slowly blood vessels appeared on the surface of the pupa, and it began to suck the blood of the surrounding animals.

Han Fei threw the stitched-up animal corpses into the blood pool. The lingering animal souls clinging to them refused to be scattered and began to scream and howl.

As the outer skin of the human pupa became thinner and thinner, those remnant souls seemed to smell the hope of life and began to frantically rush towards the human pupa!
The blood pool at the bottom of the corpse pit was quickly filled with the remnant souls of various animals, and all the remnant souls accumulated in the entire pet shop burrowed towards the human pupa.

"Why is this happening?"

The human pupa, which should have been fed with human kindness, was stuffed with countless remnants of pet souls by Han Fei, and the worms inside the pupa began to mutate.

The terracotta figures, originally only the size of a thumb, were stretched to enormous sizes, and layers of blood smeared away their beautiful patterns, leaving only bloodshed and madness in the end.

After all the blood of the animals in the morgue had been drained, cracks finally appeared on the surface of the human pupa.

Han Fei and several neighbors were on high alert, keeping a close eye on the depths of the mass grave.

With a soft sound, the pupa was completely torn open, but what crawled out was not a butterfly at all, but a strange insect with two horns on its head, sharp spikes all over its body, and a ferocious appearance.

The neighbors looked at each other, and finally all looked at Han Fei. Han Fei was also full of confusion. Why would a butterfly pupa give birth to this thing?

The system could only identify items that Han Fei had touched, but looking at the sharp spikes on the ferocious insect, he dared not touch it casually.

"Manager, I've worked in this convenience store for so long and I've never seen anything like this before." Yinglong tried to get closer to the ferocious insect, but as soon as he approached, the insect attacked him with incredible speed.

After a long stalemate, Han Fei gradually realized that the ferocious insect did not harbor any deep malice towards him.

"Could it be related to the fact that I fed human pupae with my own blood back then?"

Han Fei's courage gradually grew. He tried to approach the ferocious insect, and seeing that it did not resist, he tried to gently touch it.

"Player ID 0000! You have successfully discovered the G-level cursed artifact—Great Evil."

"Great Abomination (G-level Larva): An extremely rare insect in the deep world, its body is covered with sharp spikes containing soul poison. It only appears in years of great calamity and is an ominous sign."

Han Fei ignored the system's prompts; he simply stared at his fingers: "Does the spike contain soul poison?"
