Chapter 264: Chapter 205: Curse Outbreak, Law Enforcers Confront Jia 2

[Snatch it, drink it.]

Every organ and cell in Chen Qing’s body seemed to be clamoring, tempting her to do something irrational.

"Wow, what are you doing!"

Shang Jia turned her head and met Chen Qing’s gaze, which was incredibly terrifying.

It was nothing like the Chen Qing she knew.

The Chen Qing Shang Jia was familiar with was calm and indifferent, seldom swayed by emotions.

But the current Chen Qing had greedy, desirous eyes, as if another person had taken over her body!

Being a Voodoo Witch, Shang Jia instantly understood Chen Qing’s condition.

Curse.

"You’ve been cursed by the Half-Skeleton?!"

Shang Jia immediately stepped forward, grabbing Chen Qing’s arm with a serious expression.

"Get off the boat."

Chen Qing closed her eyes, her fingernails digging into her palms, trying hard to control her insane craving to eat.

"Your condition isn’t something you can simply endure to solve, I’m a professional, you have to trust me."

Indeed, in this aspect, Shang Jia was a professional, not just because she was a Voodoo Witch, but because she herself was burdened with countless curses.

The curse of the Half-Skeleton was a particularly vicious one, driving people into a state of frenzied consumption.

It would worsen over time, starting with normal food, water, meat, vegetables, wine, fruit... Gradually, the menu would become more horrific.

Blood, raw meat, kin, decay...

Moreover, those cursed would develop an insatiable, ravenous hunger, eating desperately.

Their appetite could never be satisfied, not even if they were bursting at the seams.

Generally speaking, the Half-Skeleton’s curse had a limited duration, and once it passed, there would be no issue.

However, the worst part of the Half-Skeleton’s curse was that if the cursed person ate anything, the duration of the curse would be extended, until they completely turned into a Half-Skeleton.

Once completely turned, not only would their strength be greatly reduced, but they would also be eternally trapped in that state of madness.

Shang Jia had no idea how Chen Qing had contracted such a curse, but she knew that if it was not resolved soon, things would only get worse.

The stronger the individual, the higher the quality of the curse, the more powerful and more challenging it was to resolve.

"Scram."

Chen Qing forced out a word through clenched teeth, shaking off Shang Jia’s hand.

Her condition was dire, and even in the face of Shang Jia, she felt the urge to devour.

"Let’s make a deal, Chen Qing."

Seeing Chen Qing like this, Shang Jia instead smiled, her smile nefarious.

She grabbed Chen Qing’s shoulder, undaunted by the hunger in Chen Qing’s eyes as she leaned in.

"You help me with Zhao Fuli’s problem, I will take care of your curse, how about it?"

Shang Jia was clearly taking advantage of the situation, and she did not think Chen Qing would disagree.

It’s a good deal, right?

People like them always look to benefit and act on their whims.

Chen Qing didn’t have the strength to refuse, Shang Jia was adamant.

"..."

A cold smile appeared on Chen Qing’s lips; she detested being threatened by others.

Especially by people like Shang Jia, who sought to suppress her with authority.

In a way, Chen Qing and Shang Jia were alike, both extremely self-centered individuals.

"No wonder Zhao Fuli despises you."

This time, it was Shang Jia’s turn to be silent, her silence mixed with anger.

"Throw her overboard."

Chen Qing ordered Mechanical Heart with a cold voice.

Shang Jia’s face suddenly turned cold, and her gaze became dangerous; Chen Qing was truly...

The Law Enforcers appeared in a blink in front of Chen Qing, facing Shang Jia, an A-class unofficial Mechanical Creation, which Shang Jia would not find easy to confront.

The silver-white sword with gold patterns flickered brightly in the night, its blade pointed directly at Shang Jia.

Black mist gathered behind Shang Jia, slowly taking the shape of a fierce Black Beast never seen before, with black energy also covering her fists.

Both sides were in a standoff, tension high, the air thick with the scent of impending battle and unease, a terrifying presence spreading instantly, a fight ready to erupt.

And Zhao Fuli, sound asleep in the cabin, still knew nothing of this, and even if she knew, she wouldn’t be able to come out.

Sooner or later, Chen Qing and Shang Jia were bound to fight.

Struggling hard to contain her appetite, Chen Qing hadn’t anticipated the curse to be this powerful.

Her original plans were disrupted; once Shang Jia was sent away, she had to confine herself in the ship’s prison.

Furthermore, she had to be guarded by the Law Enforcers and the Scavenger, or else Chen Qing couldn’t be sure of her own actions.
