Chapter 401: Radiant Spell
"Ever since Janet experienced an outbreak of bad luck, she has never come to see me again." Claire said, as if she was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with her.
"Fortunately, she survived by relying on her own abilities. Otherwise, I, who indirectly killed my sister, would not be willing to survive until now."
Janet is Ms. Doom's sister?
He is still an extraordinary person. Since he can avoid the bad luck of infection and survive, it is not easy to imagine.
My relatives were almost killed, and I still had no quality of life at all. I was trapped here and tortured like a prisoner...
What kind of thoughts keep Claire persisting until now?
Although curious, Bai Zhi did not intend to delve into this because it had nothing to do with the purpose of her trip.
Seeing that "Misfortune" Claire had a tendency to distance the topic, Bai Zhi asked in time:
"So, does the pollution in the underground palace mainly pass on in the form of curses?"
"Yes." Claire suddenly showed a strange smile:
"Anyone who sees the palace will be cursed and die a tragic death in different ways."
"Some people will lose their sense of self and walk into the palace, gradually dissolving into corpse water in the process..."
"Some people's bodies mutate into multi-legged monsters, growing twisted and knotty limbs with hair, cunning tiny blood-red eyes covered with red hair, and then start attacking others..."
"Even if some people are fine at the time, they will encounter various unfortunate accidents soon after leaving the underground cave, and die after experiencing a long period of pain..."
"Can you imagine?"
"Someone thought he had escaped the nightmare, but one morning while enjoying breakfast, countless spiders suddenly emerged from under his skin, his mouth, ears, nostrils and eyes..."
"But he did not die immediately, but died gradually as the spiders bit into his flesh, internal organs and brain."
At this time, the smile at the corner of Claire's mouth became more and more weird, and her eyes without pupils were filled with bloodshot eyes:
"He was my lover...I watched him die in fear and despair, unable to do anything."
"That's a real nightmare place. Haha, what do you think? Do you still dare to go?"
It's weird and dangerous enough, and it perfectly meets the requirements of the ritual... Bai Zhi asked calmly:
"Isn't there any extraordinary item in the 'New World' that can resist the pollution of that curse?"
"Yes, but they all have their own owners and cannot be loaned out." Claire said:
"They are 'Radiant Charms'."
"Shining Talisman?"
When Bai Zhi heard the first two words, his eyes flashed slightly, and he had a guess in his heart.
Claire put away her smile:
"That is a token given to the beloved by the 'Glory Golden Goddess'. It has the strongest exorcism and purification effect known. After all, it is a gift from the gods..."
"Unfortunately, this effect will only protect their owners and will not have any effect on others."
"And the Glorious Beloved will naturally not hand over such an important thing to others."
Bai Zhi followed:
"So, as long as you have the goddess token of 'Glory Talisman', you can go deep into the underground lair and get close to that evil palace?"
"The theory is correct, but for some reason, those glorious ones have never thought of entering 'S-05', so they don't know how close they can get to the palace, and how long they can resist pollution," Claire said.
Bai Zhi pursed her lips tightly and fell into thinking——
It would be great if I could get the "Lighting Talisman".
But as a token of the goddess, its status and power are definitely not low, and it may even be infused with the power of a true god...
Even if I can get it, I may not be able to use it perfectly. I might end up stealing the chicken but losing the rice. Because of the conflict between the fields, I will be put in an unfavorable situation...
Furthermore, currently I don’t even know the specific list of the Glorious Beloved, so where can I get it?
Afterwards, Bai Zhi thought about it and said:
"Since Ms. Claire doesn't have the 'Glory Spell', how did you survive and become the only survivor?"
She secretly felt that the breakthrough was still in Ms. Doom, so she asked this question.
"Me?"
Claire smiled, showing her white teeth:
"Before I was cursed, I had the ability to 'control good luck'. This ability barely balanced with the curse of bad luck, so that I would not die suddenly."
The next second, a scrutinizing expression appeared on Claire's face, and she said meaningfully:
"You don't seem to be satisfied with my answer, because you haven't found an executable way to avoid the curse pollution."
Bai Zhi's eyes moved slightly, "The implication is that Ms. Claire, you still have some important information about 'S-05' that you have not disclosed."
"Yes, I want to make a deal with you." Claire said expressionlessly:
"How about you come over here and help me unlock the shackles, and I'll tell you the executable method?"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhi's spider sense was aroused, and his chest tightened slightly.
This transaction is not good for you.
Realizing this, Bai Zhi gathered his mind and spread his mental power to sense the source of danger.
"I can remind you that the key still lies with the glorious ones..." Claire stared at Bai Zhi and said:
"What, you don't want to? Then I have nothing to tell you."
Bai Zhi looked back and said, "I don't quite understand."
"Didn't you voluntarily isolate yourself here? Why do you want me to open the shackles?"
"Heh!" The reddish-brown-haired woman on the other side laughed self-deprecatingly:
"Who told you that I volunteered? Was it Gagrid?"
"The truth is, for their own safety, Janet and the others jointly locked me up here, so that I could not go out even a step. Don't worry, after you unlock my shackles, I will not wander around, and will only move around inside this hall."
"No need." Bai Zhi's tone suddenly became cold:
"I have a better way to make you spit out key information."
Halfway through the words, the deep red light in her eyes suddenly bloomed, and several invisible spider silks were ejected.
"Crimson Ingestion" and "Ghost Silk" were activated at the same time at this moment.
The seemingly friendly and peaceful communication environment suddenly changed. She no longer concealed her strength, changed her style, and adopted a domineering approach.
Based on the "spider sense", she has determined that the danger comes from Claire.
Since the other party has bad intentions, there is no need to discuss nicely. Anyone who wants to block her path to becoming a demigod will bear the due price.
Moreover, she suspected that the other party's malicious intention was to infect her with the "bad luck" curse, or to share it with her, but it would only be successful if they were in the same space for a long time or had physical contact.
Bai Zhi judged that the "bad luck" curse would not be transmitted through spiritual contact, otherwise the other party could do it by simply radiating spiritual power.
Therefore, she chose to use her spiritual ability to dig out Claire's secret directly!
