Bab 794: 661, The Real Feeling Just Before Death [First Update]_1
Lin Yi: "Gaining abilities is the main purpose of this reward, and resurrection from death is just a side effect. To be honest, resurrection seems to be a more impressive aspect, as abilities gained after death are very random. You might get a strong ability, or you might get a weak one—it all depends on luck."
Zhu Zhuyun, after hearing this, asked, "But for this reward, are the abilities you gain permanent?"
Lin Yi: "Yes, they're permanent. There's no time limit. If you could manage to die 10,000 times in a day, then you would gain 10,000 abilities in that day. There is no limit to the number of times either."
Zhu Yun was very surprised upon hearing this. This already exceeded what the Red Advanced Prize Pool could contain, right?
Not only was there no limit on the number of abilities gained, but there was also no limit on the time you could use the abilities. So where exactly was the difficulty in this reward?
Seeing the excitement on Zhu Yun's face, Lin Yi suddenly asked, "Have you ever considered that perhaps death could be a very difficult thing for you?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun suddenly froze.
It seemed she had never considered this issue from the beginning.
From the start until now, she had always thought about herself being harmed by others, then instantly resurrecting and gaining an ability—what a delightful thought. But...
How could such a thing happen now?
Because no one was trying to kill her, she definitely wouldn't have a chance to die anytime soon, which also meant it was nearly impossible for her to gain abilities through this reward!
So, the only way was for Zhu Zhuyun to commit suicide or actively seek someone to kill her, but that brought her back to Lin Yi's earlier question.
"Perhaps for her, death is a difficult thing."
Everyone fears death, no matter the reason.
"I..."
Zhu Zhuyun suddenly couldn't continue speaking because she too was afraid of death. She finally understood the restriction of this reward: facing the fear of death.
Because of this fear, the dream of gaining 10,000 abilities in a day was almost impossible to fulfill.
However, Lin Yi then said, "Do you want to give it a try?"
Zhu Yun took a deep breath and quickly responded, "There's no harm in trying!"
After merging with the reward, resurrection was inevitable, so there was no need to fear not coming back to life. Moreover, since she had received this reward, it shouldn't be wasted. Should she never use it just because she feared death?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone there, Zhu Yun decided to challenge her own weakness.
It was also an opportunity to experience what death truly felt like.
Dai Ben hesitantly asked, "Are you really going to try dying?"
Zhu Zhuyun nodded, "Give me a sharp weapon."
Dai Ben felt around his body and threw a dagger toward Zhu Yun.
The dagger looked extremely sharp, and Zhu Zhuyun believed she wouldn't need to exert much effort for the dagger to easily pierce her skin.
Lin Yi: "Before you die, is there anything you'd like to say?"
Zhu Zhuyun was a bit confused, "Shouldn't I be able to resurrect immediately... What is there to say?"
"Resurrect? I haven't given you the reward to merge with yet, how are you going to resurrect?"
Hearing Lin Yi's words, the dagger in Zhu Yun's hand almost dropped to the ground.
Fuck!
She almost really died!
Lin Yi chuckled lightly and tossed the red orb in his hand toward her.
After fusing with the reward, Zhu Yun finally made a decisive move to pick up the dagger.
However, she was conflicted about whether to stab her heart or slash her throat. Honestly, she wanted to choose the form of suicide that would bring death more swiftly. Which of these methods would lead to a quicker death?
Seeing the troubled expression on Zhu Yun's face, Dai Ben could not help but say, "Shall I help you with that...?"
After receiving a glare from Zhu Yun, Dai Ben silently took a step back and dared not speak anymore.
Zhu Yun decided to stab her heart.
She reversed her grip on the dagger, pressing the tip against her chest. At that moment, her hand actually started to tremble.
Indeed, this was the restriction of the reward... She had already started to feel fear.
After several deep breaths in a row, Zhu Yun clenched her teeth and, fearing her own strength might be insufficient, she even used her Soul Power to drive the entire blade smoothly into her chest.
In that instant, it felt like something cold and chilling had torn through her skin and entered her body. As the pain spread throughout her entire body, the impending fear of vital organs being invaded quickly followed.
It was genuine terror. Zhu Yun's eyes widened as she involuntarily fell to her knees. She could even feel the handle of the dagger vibrating along with her heart, thumping time and again, but something deep inside told her the frequency and amplitude of the heart's vibrations were getting smaller and smaller.
A feeling of weakness spread throughout her body. Veins bulged on Zhu Yun's forehead, her mouth slightly open, unable to utter a single word.
Soon, she lay on the ground, blood slowly oozing out and soaking the front of her clothes.
But Zhu Yun found her consciousness didn't immediately fade away. Instead, her mind was overwhelmed with immense fear and despair.
Why wasn't she dying immediately as she had imagined? Even if it was a bit slower, it shouldn't be this slow, should it?
Lin Yi spoke up, "Twist the dagger, then pull it out. This way, she will die faster."
Dai Ben stood there, stunned. Upon realizing that Lin Yi was instructing him, he quickly stepped forward and did as Lin Yi had said. The next moment, Zhu Yun let out a painful cry, her body convulsing as the dagger was pulled out. A rush of blood spurted out from her chest, splattering Dai Ben's face.
Zhu Yun's complexion gradually turned pale, the sensation of weakness covering her body more thoroughly. She felt very cold and tired, and her eyelids felt as heavy as if they were weighed down by lead. At this point, the feeling of pain seemed to vanish.
The sound of her blood flowing grew fainter and fainter in her ears. Zhu Yun closed her eyes, overcome with fatigue.
Dai Ben looked at the bloodstains on the dagger. Murder was something he was accustomed to, but what had just ended was Zhu Yun's life, and that made him feel somewhat uneasily perturbed, even though he knew that Zhu Yun wouldn't truly die.
After cleaning and sheathing the dagger, Dai Ben squatted down and felt for Zhu Yun's neck. Then he looked up and said, "She's dead."
Everyone was shocked, and many were amazed by Zhu Yun's resolve. No one knew what kind of ordeal she had just gone through. Beneath her body, a pool of dark red, viscous blood had accumulated, almost forming a sea of blood.
Yet at that moment, Dai Ben suddenly blinked. He noticed all the blood beneath Zhu Yun starting to flow backward, rushing towards her. It climbed onto her body and burrowed into the bloody hole in her chest.
Dai Ben rubbed his eyes, almost thinking he was seeing things due to his old age.
Every drop of blood flowed back into Zhu Yun's chest, even the fresh blood that had dyed her clothes red drained away!
