Exposure of Deeds

Lynne, eyes wide, subconsciously clicked on that picture. In an instant. before his eyes materialized a tentacle holding a cute baby (๑＞︶＜๑).

[Others]:"???"

[Evil Spirit Queen]: "My daughter."

[Others]:"!!!"

[Evil Spirit Queen]: "That human boy said, having such a daughter is a manifestation of the true, good, and beautiful in my heart. However, I always felt that he had done something to my daughter because all my other children are like this. [Picture] (Click to view)"

Lynne opened the image. The screen immediately revealed one after another of twisted, broken tentacle monsters, mouth monsters, and clusters of rotting flesh, severely visually polluting.

[Burnt Ghost]: "Uh… My Queen, yesterday morning when I went to that shop, I saw that human doctor. He seemed to be reshaping a ghost baby in a very horrifying way… I don't know if it's your daughter…"

[Evil Spirit Queen]: "PM me, explain in detail!"

Snap——

With eyes wide, Lynne quickly closed the regional channel.

Serious?!

But how could he have known before that in this Dark World, there would be an information interaction platform similar to the metaverse?! He had barely managed to bamboozle that female ghost today! Had it been overturned in less than a day?!

Originally, Lynne wanted to further explore more functions of Vision World. But at this moment, Lynne really had no mood left.

Swiftly, Lynne logged out. The moment consciousness returned to his body, Lynne rushed to the door with unimaginable speed.

Without saying a word, Lynne was about to close the door. But almost at the same time, from the black fog outside the door, came a voice full of laughter.

"Good child, are you closing so early today? Are you afraid of something?"

Lynne's expression froze in place.

Tap—Tap—

Footsteps sounded one after another. Soon, from the black fog not far away, there emerged a woman with a graceful figure, incomparably enchanting. Her face bore a seductive smile, long wavy hair trailing behind her, and her steps were extraordinarily bewitching.

It was the Blood-Clad Evil Spirit from before.

[Lynne's Sanity -10]

Did she come this fast?

A professional smile immediately appeared on Lynne's face. He rubbed his temples, saying: "No, it's just that I am feeling a bit unwell today, so I thought to close up early and get some good rest."

The Blood-Clad Evil Spirit sauntered over, slowly biting her crimson lips, saying: "I see. That really is a pity. I initially wanted to properly thank you for taking care of my daughter."

[Ding! Crisis level 79%]

Subconsciously, Lynne stepped back, secretly gripping the revolver behind him, smiling and saying: "Not at all, it was my duty, there's no need for thanks!"

Lynne: "!!"

The Blood-Clad Evil Spirit approached step by step with a smile. Her gaze was exceptionally gentle. However, in contrast, the crisis level kept rising.

[Crisis level 81%]

[Crisis level 85%]

[Crisis level 90%]

But just as she was about to reach Lynne's side, a sound of rolling wheels came from the distant darkness, approaching closer and closer.

Squeak—Squeak—

It was exceedingly piercing.

The Blood-Clad Evil Spirit stopped immediately, the smile on her face slightly pausing.

Gradually, an old woman, wrinkles lining her face, pulling a cart, slowly appeared before Lynne's potion shop, smilingly greeting Lynne.

"Young man, are you closing up?"

Lynne, as if grasping at a lifeline, quickly went up with a bright smile, saying: "Yes, I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I wanted to rest early. How was your haul today, ma'am?"

The scavenger chuckled: "I'm old, no one pays any heed to this old woman, but with those things you gave me today, I don't have to scavenge for several days, hehehe—"

Without further ado, Lynne earnestly said, "Speaking of which, ma'am, I've accumulated some trash today that you might be interested in. Should I give it to you now?"

"Oh?" The scavenger laughed heartily: "Then thank you, young man."

Lynne quickly returned to the potion shop. He immediately brought out the long hairs dropped by the Demon Hunter and the Black Knight and placed them solemnly on the scavenger's cart.

[Ding! You have given to the Scavenger: Demon Hunter's Long Hair x1]

[Ding! You have given to the Scavenger: Black Knight's White Hair x1]

The scavenger was taken aback. Subsequently, she stared at Lynne with a complex gaze, saying: "When I was passing by the alley, those two foreigners were still fighting, the flashing lights hurt this old woman's eyes. Did they shave their heads here?"

Lynne smiled: "Correct, they are both my good customers."

The scavenger paused, then showed a look of admiration, saying: "Well, well, never thought the foreigners who appeared recently in our Wandering Soul Lane all have connections with you, young man. The younger generation is to be feared indeed. However, this time this old woman has nothing to give you. You don't mind if this old woman rests a while at the entrance of your shop, do you?"

Lynne hastily assisted the old woman and said with a beaming smile: "I would be more than happy, ma'am, please, sit down. You can rest as long as you like."

[Ding! You have completed the task, the Blood-Clad Evil Spirit has dissolved her malicious intentions towards you. You received rewards: 200 Skull Coins, 200 Experience, Special Reward: Curse Diagnostic Skill Book x1]

Lynne maintained a smile on his face, but inwardly, he felt as if he had made several trips through the gates of hell. He knew. That Blood-Clad Evil Spirit came to kill him! If it weren't for the appearance of this friendly old woman, he might have really lost his life here today.

"Young man, who is this?"

The scavenger, smiling, turned her head and looked at the Blood-Clad Evil Spirit in red standing not far away.

Lynne immediately introduced with a big smile: "Oh, she is also one of my customers, a neighbor who just moved in recently. She's a very friendly and beautiful lady."

The Blood-Clad Evil Spirit gave a light smile, her gaze flickering with cold light. She didn't linger, slowly turning around, flipping her long hair, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she said: "Since you're still busy, I won't disturb you. However, I made delicious food tonight; you shouldn't mind coming over as a guest. I live at No. 45, my daughter... is very fond of you."

[Ding! You triggered the task: Blood Feast]

Ssssssh—

The corners of the Blood-Clad Evil Spirit's mouth stretched to her ears; Lynne could even see the creeping tentacles and gruesome barbs inside her mouth.

"You won't refuse, will you?" she said softly.
