No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

Yuexi walked over to Wen Gu, took the teacup from his hand, then turned around and gave the man called "Mad Lion" a charming smile.

"Of course, in a place like this, everyone should help each other."

She moved lightly, her red dress swaying, and personally handed over the white porcelain teacup.

"Thanks, beautiful lady." Mad Lion took the teacup, his eyes still lingering on Yuexi.

The other people in the library watched him with amusement, but no one said anything to warn him.

As Yuexi turned around, the moment her back was to Mad Lion, a Queen of Spades flicked from her fingertip.

The card spun and sliced ​​through the air, precisely slicing into the lion's calf.

"Ah!" Mad Lion cried out in pain as his lower leg was neatly severed, and he staggered.

"Snapped!"

The white porcelain teacup slipped from his hand, smashed to the ground, and shattered into pieces.

The golden liquid in the teacup had already been drunk by everyone, so it was now just an empty cup.

Mad Lion clutched his leg, about to unleash a torrent of curses.

But the next second, the sound of his cursing got stuck in his throat...

Inside the reception room.

Mu Zhixi was leaning back on the sofa, studying the newly unlocked "Creator Panel".

I just owed the system a huge amount of faith points, so I need to find a way to earn some more quickly.

For the next persona, let's set it up as an old princess, preferably someone who is handsome, strong, and a bit crazy and domineering. This kind of character is the easiest to deceive... no, to attract believers.

As she was making plans, a system notification suddenly popped up.

[Warning: A unit has been detected that meets the "blasphemy" criteria.]

The skill "His Gaze" has automatically locked onto the target and will be activated shortly.

Mu Zhixi was stunned for a moment.

This triggered it?

Did someone on Yuexi's side make such a basic mistake?

However, this skill doesn't seem to be very powerful. It's probably just glaring at the other person and giving them a mental intimidation.

It shouldn't be enough to scare her hard-earned chives to death.

She's a very kind working-class woman, the kind who just got into huge debts.

Mu Zhixi didn't pay much attention, casually turned off the notification, and continued to brainstorm her queen persona.

As for those knights, she has already sent them out.

However, what happened in the library was far more terrifying than Mu Zhixi had imagined.

The moment the teacup shattered, the eerie, emotionless narration of the game echoed in everyone's minds.

"...Ignorant mortal, you are completely unaware that you have already blasphemed the gods."

"Strange tumors will grow on your body, and twisted lumps will burst through your skin..."

"Your feet will be deformed into boneless, soft flesh. You will lose the ability to walk and crawl on the ground like the lowest of maggots..."

As the narrator described, the man called "Mad Lion" began to undergo visible changes in his body.

"It hurts...it itches...I feel like my whole body is swollen, and it feels like something is growing out from under my skin!"

His screams became shrill, and ugly lumps bulged up from his neck and cheeks, like grapes about to rot.

"Please, please, save me!"

The man tried to stand up, but found that his legs had completely softened and turned into two lumps of rotten flesh, unable to support his body at all.

He fell to the ground and could only crawl on his hands.

"It hurts! It hurts so much! It's growing out! Those things are growing out!"

Something even more terrifying happened.

On his eyeballs, belly, and arms, the bulging tumors split open at the top, and countless eyeballs grew out of them.

"What is that?! Get away from me!!!"

The man went completely mad. He went to dig out his own eyeballs with his hands, his fingernails digging into his flesh, and blood and murky liquid flowed all over the ground.

But this is just the beginning.

The skin beneath his clothes kept bursting open, and countless eyeballs wriggled and squeezed out of his flesh.

Even his tongue was covered with countless eyeballs, pressed together with almost no gaps.

"Help...help me...please...please..." In the blink of an eye, he completely lost the ability to speak.

Everyone present, including Yuexi, subconsciously took a few steps back.

They were all veteran players who had been through countless dungeons, witnessing bizarre scenes of people being swallowed alive and various bloody ways of dying.

But what they were seeing was beyond their comprehension.

This is not simply torture; it is a form of... punishment.

Is this the price of defying the gods?

Just then, a clear sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the library.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The sound of horses' hooves pounding on the hard stone slabs seemed particularly jarring in the silent ancient castle.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment. How could there be horses in the castle?

The next second, a flash of silver light appeared.

A long spear adorned with crown patterns pierced through the air from outside the library window, precisely piercing the monster on the ground that had completely transformed into a mountain of eyeballs and flesh.

"Bang!"

The mountain of flesh exploded, turning into a pool of foul-smelling blood.

The spear was stuck in the ground, its butt still trembling slightly.

"You courageous insect, daring to defy the gods, then I grant you a swift death." A cold and arrogant voice came from outside the window.

"However, I may have to admit that he offended the gods, and death is only the lightest punishment."
