Chapter 362: Chapter 167: Flesh Curse_2

The sudden scream of the person next to them frightened everyone as if they had seen a ghost; they hurriedly pushed away, creating a circular space.

Lin Baici walked over and stood five meters away to examine the situation closely.

"Hehe, the curse has begun, the first one!"

The brawny man laughed boldly, his right elbow propped on his knee, his palm dragging his cheek, tilting his head slightly, an expression of an opera aficionado.

"Xiao Bai, is this curse similar to the rule contamination created by the Ask God Turtle Shell in the Palm Harbor God Market?"

Hua Yue Yu muttered softly, stealing glances at the brawny man on the pyramid steps: "Should we go snatch that golden mask?"

"No rush!"

Lin Baici approached the corpse: "That mask obviously has the ability to enchant people, I’m worried that touching it might lead to us being controlled!"

Lin Baici approached the plump man’s corpse and prodded it with a Songmu torch.

The body visibly shriveled, as if it had been blistered by the desert sun, rapidly dehydrating, appearing to shrink by two sizes.

Lin Baici rubbed the torch on the ground.

Whoosh!

The flame ignited, and then Lin Baici set the body on fire.

Boom!

It took less than twenty seconds for the body to burn to a pile of ash.

"Did you find anything?"

The salesman was anxious, and just as his words fell, another man thudded to the ground, suddenly dead.

"The second one!"

The brawny man chuckled, the corner of his mouth revealing a mocking smile, as if a king playing with living beings watched ants struggle.

Lin Baici glanced at the brawny man.

Logically, since he had attacked it, it should hate him, but why wasn’t he the first to die?

Could it be because he was a God Hunter?

A strong willpower, a stronger resistance to curses?

Or was it that its killing method needed time to take effect?

The longer the time, the greater the power?

Regardless of the answer, there wasn’t much time left for himself.

This second corpse rapidly dehydrated and turned into a mummy-like state.

Lin Baici stared at it, pondering for a moment before taking out the butcher’s mask and Gluttonous Apron from the Black Tripod Bowl and putting them on.

"Ying Zhen, lend me the dagger!"

Lin Baici squatted next to the corpse, having donned a pair of surgical gloves.

"What are you going to do?"

Cai Wenqi came over as well: "I can help!"

"Dissect him!"

After Lin Baici spoke, he tore open the man’s shirt and plunged the dagger into his chest, slicing forcefully.

Zzrrak!

The man’s chest was opened up, and because it had turned into a mummy, there wasn’t much blood.

Lin Baici grabbed the ribs of the corpse with both hands and pulled them apart forcefully, exposing the chest cavity and the messy organs within.

Cai Wenqi watched intently.

"Ough!"

Cai Wenqi turned her head and vomited what she had eaten for breakfast.

Many people had initially gathered around to see what Lin Baici was doing, but this scene frightened them, turning their faces pale.

Hua Yue Yu and Jin Ying Jin also felt uncomfortable, but they still managed to crouch by the side.

"You’re not needed!"

The effect of the butcher’s mask activated, and Lin Baici’s hands immediately became adept, as if he had reached the expertise of a culinary god in carving meat.

Lin Baici wanted to check the mummified body thoroughly; if there were no external injuries, then it meant the curse’s power was indeed at work.

This was troublesome.

There was no choice but to attack the golden mask.

Just as Lin Baici had removed more than half of the mummy’s organs, another man died; this time it was a young man.

He fell to the ground without any warning.

Lin Baici glanced over and continued his inspection.

He could remain calm, but others could not.

"Shit, shit, shit, what the hell is going on? How did they die?"

A middle-aged man was incredibly irritable.

His wife wouldn’t let him go fishing, bored and annoyed, he came to the exhibition to pass the time, only to encounter this mess.

"I really must’ve fucked a dog today. Would this have happened if I went fishing?"

The middle-aged man cursed and complained. He didn’t dare attack the brawny man, nor did he want to stay here and wait for death, so he called out to everyone.

"Let’s leave this place!"

He wasn’t stupid, fearing that walking alone might make him a target, so he planned to call more people.

About a dozen people responded, as it seemed to also be a no-way-out situation.

"Don’t hesitate anymore, let’s all escape together!"

The middle-aged man called out.

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

"If we run, we might not die, but staying here will definitely lead to death!"

"What are you waiting for?"

The crowd clamored, partly to incite more people and partly to bolster their own courage by speaking loudly.

"Student Lin, should we go too?"

Cai Wenqi suggested.

"If rule contamination can’t be purified, it’s impossible to leave!"

After dissecting the body, Lin Baici found no abnormalities, just a mummy with no injuries; the curse’s power was completely at work.

The White Pufferfish and Red Fin Whale looked at each other.

Even if they were to leave, people’s responses varied at this moment.

Some hesitated, staying at the back to easily change their minds; most went with the flow, controlling their pace, neither fast nor slow, and only a few with not enough sense hurried, getting swayed and wanting to leave quickly.

But before they could get far.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Three more people fell to the ground in quick succession.

This scene terrified everyone, freezing them in place.

"Can we really not leave?"

The middle-aged man was close to tears; he wanted to go fishing.

At least let him fish one more time before dying.
