Chapter 345: Chapter 332 Curse

So, the matter concerning Bai Xiong was also clarified, and it was precisely because he had shielded himself from the willpower of that so-called "Legacy Holder" that he was able to survive until now; otherwise, he would certainly have been absorbed long ago. And the enormity of the effort it took for him to escape from that hopeless test site, the number of his kin that he sacrificed—no one but he himself would know.

In any event, after that massive riot, the legacy proposal was terminated, all affiliated individuals were completely absorbed, leaving behind only one "Bai Xiong," carrying the hopes of everyone, he made his escape...

However, just escaping wouldn’t mean the end of it, the power of the legacy is indelible, and it would continue to haunt Bai Xiong. This kind of power wouldn’t fade with the passage of time; instead, it would only grow more intense. So the moment he took off the necklace, his own body had already begun to disintegrate to the edge of collapse.

Oh, here someone might ask, if the consequences of Bai Xiong leaving the necklace were so severe, why didn’t he just wear the necklace and go kill the Mother Bug himself?

That’s a good question.

The reason is... even Chen Xiao, risking his invincibility period and the regenerative power of two capsules, nearly died; although Bai Xiong was strong and healthy, if he truly were to charge in, he would most certainly die halfway there. Moreover, Chen Xiao could devote his full attention to fighting the bug swarm because Bai Xiong was restraining those giant soldier ants. Chen Xiao didn’t possess that ability. By then, with those two big fellows blocking the Mother Bug and an increasing number of ants joining, they’d have nothing but death to await.

...

So, the final question, how did Chen Xiao come to know all this?

In reality, he did not know Bai Xiong’s background, nor did he know that from the moment Bai Xiong appeared in this world, he was already entangled with the Foundation.

He only knew that Bai Xiong must be concealing something, and that he possessed something capable of blocking the Foundation’s detection. Otherwise, ever since the K City research area had been rebuilt, he had remained inextricably linked with "The Splitters." He would have been discovered countless times, yet he had taken off the necklace in his own home with Song Xuan and used it—if Chen Xiao was so foolish as not to guess that the necklace was the very thing blocking the detection.

Alright, having said this much, it’s more or less explained. So, let’s turn our attention back to Chen Xiao.

At this moment, with the ’Postman’s’ relocation, they had instantly arrived at the ’Nurse’s’ doorstep. Chen Xiao naturally recognized the place, so without a word, he pushed open the door... Hmm... as expected, it was unlocked. Afterward, he and the Postman drug Bai Xiong inside.

At this moment, the living room was still in complete disarray, and the Nurse hadn’t come out, probably curled up in the bedroom asleep again.

Just as the Postman was preparing to rush into the bedroom to wake her...

Suddenly

The door opened.

The Nurse, with eyes still bloodshot, looked terrified, evidently startled awake by something...

"Who’s hurt?" she asked frantically.

The Postman was taken aback; he had never seen the Nurse with such an expression because no matter how grave the injuries, the Nurse would casually say a few words, then dump the injured in the living room and that would be the end of it. But this time... her reaction was so intense.

Immediately thereafter, the Nurse’s gaze moved past Chen Xiao and the Postman, settling on Bai Xiong lying on the ground.

"Who is he?" the Nurse asked with furrowed brows, quickly stepping forward.

"Bai Xiong..." the postman responded, "Although you’ve never seen him, you definitely know about him."

The nurse nodded, "So it’s him, how did he... end up like this?" She hesitated, probably unsure how to describe Bai Xiong’s current condition. She then leaned down and touched Bai Xiong’s horrifying body with her hand.

"What’s wrong? Is it serious?" the postman asked.

"Serious? Just look at him, can’t you tell?" the nurse said a bit angrily.

The postman was puzzled, "But, you should be able to heal this kind of injury easily, right? I was half flattened several times, and you’ve never been this worried."

"This is different," the nurse said, shaking her head, "Your injuries, no matter how severe, were just physical damage. But his... is something... ongoing, that doesn’t require any contact..." She stopped there, seemingly unable to find the right words.

"A curse!" Chen Xiao hesitated before explaining for her.

"Right, a curse!" the nurse suddenly realized, "But how did he become like this?"

Chen Xiao stroked his chin, "The reason might only be known after he wakes up. I didn’t expect it to be this serious... But you always have a way, right?"

The nurse thought for a moment, "Move him to the bathtub!" she exclaimed, then quickly turned and scurried to the kitchen, rummaging through a pile of dishes and bowls.

The postman hadn’t quite caught up, but he just did what the nurse said. He quickly grabbed Bai Xiong, vanished in an instant, and soon after, a loud "clang" echoed from the bathroom.

At that time, the nurse found a knife among the pots and pans and rushed to the bathroom; Chen Xiao quickly followed.

In the bathroom—Bai Xiong was already lying in the bathtub, and the postman was busily pulling out unwashed clothes and socks, throwing them onto the floor. As the other two pushed through the door, the nurse didn’t say a word. She raised the knife and plunged it directly into her wrist. That wasn’t all; she furiously rubbed the blade back and forth, deepening the wound until it made a grating "screech" against bone. And from that wound, blood gushed out, splattering all over Bai Xiong.

However, due to her extremely strong healing ability, the flow of blood was getting slower and slower.

"Help me... use my blood to cover him!" the nurse shouted urgently.

No sooner had she spoken!

Chen Xiao rushed forward, snatched the knife, and with a backhand slice, he plunged it right behind the nurse’s ear, the blade sinking in deep!

"Holy shit!!"

This action was so sudden that even though the postman knew the nurse wouldn’t die, he was still shocked by the ferocity of the stab, letting out a loud yelp!

And in the gap of that yelp, Chen Xiao had brutally pushed the nurse’s upper body into the tub. With the knife in hand, he drew out a horrifying gash from behind her ear in a downward motion! In no time, blood sprayed toward the ceiling! But that wasn’t all; Chen Xiao, with a calm expression, tossed the knife behind him, twisted the nurse’s head in a full circle, and with a ruthlessly committed hand, he plunged "plop" straight into the gash, gripping something unknown. His whole body tensed as he vigorously pulled it out!

Suddenly, the blood flow became even more fierce, like a high-pressure water gun. It wasn’t just the bathtub being sprayed; the entire bathroom rained down with blood...
