22. The Hercule's Curse
"Why didn't you go to work?"
The young man with half of his head dented asked Su Wu sternly.
Su Wu had a blank expression on his face and did not answer the question of his former colleague 'Wang Zhiyou' who could no longer be called a human being.
He stared at the candle in his hand,
which was burning violently.
But the burning speed was much slower than when it was illuminated by the red lantern.
When 'Wang Zhiyou' stepped into the circle of light expanded by the candlelight, the candle suddenly burned to the end and the flame was about to go out.
Su Wu took out another candle and continued the flame that was about to go out.
'Wang Zhiyou' was only three steps away from him. At such a close distance, he could still continue the candlelight without blinking!
This is just a game!
He wants to find the best solution to any problem in this game!
Instead of wanting to run away as soon as he encounters a problem!
The candle that had just been lit burned violently again, faster than before - because 'Wang Zhiyou' walked into the range of the firelight!
The orange flames were fighting against the strange erosion.
Wang Zhiyou also trembled all over because he stepped into this light circle, making a sound of flesh and bones rubbing against each other.
Crack, crack!
This strange one foot seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and could no longer move!
It worked!
Su Wu's brows relaxed, holding the candle, pulling the frightened Jiang Yingying behind him, and walked three steps away from Wang Zhiyou.
When the fire no longer covered Wang Zhiyou, it regained its mobility.
Turn around and chase Su Wu.
"Why didn't you go to work?"
It shouted angrily behind him.
"Why didn't you go to work?"
Another figure walked out of the gray fog, and together with Wang Zhiyou, pressed into the place where the fire was shining around Su Wu!
Huh!
The 40-centimeter-long red candle burned to the bottom in the blink of an eye!
Su Wu connected the two candles that had been prepared in his hand with flames, handed one to Jiang Yingying, and then rang the emperor bell on his neck!
"Ding-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang!"
The invisible sound waves spread outward and reached 'Wang Zhiyou' and another colleague 'Xin Qiaoge'. Both of their bodies were bent into the shape of cooked shrimps.
Then, without any warning, 'Wang Zhiyou's' left arm splashed with blood with a 'bang' sound, and the whole forearm fell to the ground!
The blood splashed on Su Wu's face.
He remained unmoved and continued to shake the Emperor Bell and continue the candlelight.
A bundle of candles behind him was quickly consumed, and the sound of the Emperor Bell continued to spread.
There were also continuous explosions from 'Wang Zhiyou' and 'Xin Qiaoge'. Their limbs were scattered randomly like building blocks, and soon turned into a pile of minced meat on the ground!
Among the minced meat on the ground, only the faces of the two remained intact, without a trace of damage.
They could no longer make any sound.
The faces lying on the ground were facing Su Wu, and their blood-red eyes stared at him straight.
"Why didn't you go to work?"
"Why didn't you go to work?"
Four figures walked out of the mist.
They were either men or women, and they were already unfamiliar faces that Su Wu had never seen before.
The pieces of meat on the ground began to wriggle, and they pieced together, forming a brand new body with the faces of 'Wang Zhiyou' and 'Xin Qiaoge' on top.
"Why didn't you go to work?"
"Why didn't you go to work?"
Six,
eight,
twelve,
dense figures gathered around Su Wu, and they said the same thing: "Why didn't you go to work?"
The candle on Su Wu's back had burned out.
He had sweat all over his forehead, and even if he kept ringing the Emperor Bell, he couldn't stop the 'crowd' that was pressing in like a tide.
Jiang Yingying's eyes were filled with tears. Seeing the 'people' around her who were carrying the smell of blood and burnt smell, she bit her lower lip tightly, and suddenly handed the big rooster in her arms to Su Wu: "Here you go!"
Su Wu looked at her with confusion.
"I'll help you lead them away, you take the emergency cans and go!"
Su Wu looked at her steadily.
After a moment, he nodded: "Okay."
The slender figure walked towards the 'crowd', most of the ghosts gathered like her, but a small number of people still surrounded Su Wu.
"Why didn't you go to work?"
A pile of minced meat with the oval face of 'Xin Qiao Ge' blocked Su Wu's way.
He punched it!
Bang!
Blood splattered everywhere!
"Dingdangdangdang!"
The sound of the emperor's bell continued.
'Xin Qiao Ge' staggered and fell to the ground.
More figures gathered around Su Wu against the sound of the bell - those bodies that were broken under the bell and candlelight, after being reassembled, had a strong resistance to the bell and candlelight!
"Why didn't you come to work?"
The questioning voice flooded into Su Wu's ears like a tide.
There was a fire burning hotter and hotter in his chest.
He rushed left and right in the ‘crowd’, swinging his fists and feet, knocking down the extremely weak ghosts one by one, but was soon surrounded by them.
“You have mastered the temporary talent: Street Fighting (white).”
“Your temporary talent - Street Fighting has been upgraded to a green talent.”
“You have mastered the temporary talent: Blood Loss Berserk (white).”
…
“Why didn’t you come to work?”
“Why didn’t you come to work?”
…
The ‘crowd’ drowned out Su Wu’s figure.
The sound of decomposing bones, flesh and blood rang out from it.
…
"You are dead."
"This simulation is over."

"The items that can be taken out of the simulation game this time are as follows..."
The huge dial floated in front of Su Wu, and items appeared around it.
Option 0: Hand of the corpse ghost.
Option 1: The art of speaking (white).
Option 2: Street fighting (white).
Option 3: Street fighting (green).
Option 4: Blood Loss Berserk (white).
Option 5: A ‘Chevrolet Cruze’ car key.
…
Su Wu’s eyes stayed on the ‘Hand of the Shita Demon’ option for a moment before he looked away and looked at the items below it.
After pondering for a moment, he said: “Bring options 1, 2, 4, and 5 into reality.”
“Bring options 1, 2, and 4 into reality, consuming 150 yuan of jade;
Bring option 5 into reality, consuming 10 yuan of jade.
After the purchase, your wallet balance is: 1185 yuan of jade.”
The mechanical female voice responded: “It is detected that Street Fighting (white) and Blood Loss Berserk (white) can be combined with your own talent ‘Pain Transfer (green)’ to form a curse seal. Do you want to combine them?”
Curse seal?
Su Wu inexplicably thought of the ‘curse seal’ in the anime ‘Naruto’ that he had watched a long time ago.
He responded in his heart: "Yes."
The moment the thought came to mind, a warm current suddenly surged from below the navel, and suddenly rushed into every part of his body. At this time, the electronic voice said: "The curse seal 'Hercules' has been synthesized."
