Excessive ferocity due to caution

Zhao Yi and his companion returned to the flower room from the cursed world.

There were many corpses all around.

The human skin of Klaibin had lost its resentment, and Zhao Yi unceremoniously put it into his inventory. After that, the human skin of Klaibin belonged to Zhao Yi.

"Do you have a problem with me taking something?"

Zhao Yi very considerately asked Qin Bai about it.

Qin Bai quickly shook his head.

No objections.

"Take everything, Brother Yi."

"I've already gained a lot from this trip, as I've learned a lot. Anyway, those old guys in the Qin family don't have much hope for a young man like me."

Although Qin Bai is inexperienced in the ways of the world, he is not stupid.

How dare you take Zhao Yi's things?

He was very willing to believe that once he took Zhao Yi's things, he might accidentally kick the bucket and die on the spot.

Zhao smiled and looked at Qin Bai:

"If we manage to get more cursed items later, maybe I'll consider sharing one with you."

Cursed items are extremely rare, but the Qin family, as one of the four great clans of the capital, has a foundation that no barbarian like Zhao Yi can match.

Whether they have one more or one less item, it makes no difference to them.

But it's different for Zhao Yi.

Having acquired two cursed items, Zhao Yi immediately checked their uses in the system.

...

[Item: Krebin's Hide]

[Quality: Red]

[Introduction: Killing one's wife to prove one's path!]

[Effect (Passive): When you have access to this item, it automatically applies a curse mark to your enemies. Enemies fighting you cannot escape; otherwise, the curse will immediately activate, dealing damage equivalent to a single strike from Clyde at his peak!]

[Note 1: This effect does not apply to units with strength equal to or greater than the Overlord (Evil Comet).]

[Note 2: This effect applies to units stronger than you.]

[Note 3: When you possess 'Mesa's Portrait', the curse eruption is enhanced when enemies flee, and Clyde's resentment attacks 7 times consecutively, with each attack being 15% more powerful than the last!]

...

[Item: Portrait of Mesa]

[Quality: Red]

[Introduction: Those men are all scoundrels, not a single one of them is any good!]

[Effect (Passive): When you have access to this item, it will cast a blessing spell on you, reducing the damage you take. Furthermore, when you deal damage to an enemy, the portrait will unleash a curse-type attack, the specific effect of which is randomly selected from the spells learned by the witch Mesa in her lifetime.]

[Note: When you possess 'Krabin's Skin,' the power of Mesa's portrait is enhanced. Every time you deal damage to an enemy, the portrait will simultaneously inflict three curses on that enemy!]

...

Upon seeing the effects of these two cursed items, Zhao Yi was slightly startled.

As expected of a red-quality item, its effects are truly powerful!

With these two items, Zhao Yi is now able to confront some low-level powerful beasts head-on in the Chaotic Realm!

Both Mesa and Clapin, after being corrupted in the Abyss, had already reached the level of extreme evil!

If it weren't for the suppression from the chaotic body deep within the Abyss, they could have crushed these trial participants with just a glance or a finger...

"Brother Yizi..."

Qin Bai, who was standing to the side, examined the many new corpses that had appeared on the ground, and his expression was extremely ugly!

Zhao Yi snapped out of her daze.

He glanced briefly at the corpse and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Qin Bai took out a special flashlight and shone it on the corpse on the ground:

"These people had no wounds on their bodies, yet they were dead..."

"This flashlight is a treasure given to us by our family. When it shines on a normal person, it displays thirteen colors."

Snapped!

After he finished speaking, he turned on his flashlight and shone it on the dead body on the ground.

Only a stark white.

Then he turned on the flashlight and shone it on himself.

Only a stark white.

"Sorry, I took the wrong one."

"That's not it……"

Qin Baiqian coughed, rummaged through his storage space for a while, and finally looked up and glared at Zhao Yiqian.

"...I didn't bring it."

Zhao Yi rolled his eyes.

He crouched down, took out his scalpel, and dissected the corpses slightly, trying to see what they had seen before they died through their eyes.

However, a moment later, Zhao Yi discovered a chilling truth:

These dead people... were stripped of their memories along with them!

Generally speaking, memories are stored in the soul.

The human soul is part of cause and effect, and the Taotie (scalpel) can use Zhao Yi's bloodline divine power to "dissect an ox" to dissect the cause and effect left in a corpse.

Therefore, even though the dead body has no soul, Zhao Yi can still extract memories from it.

But now, his ability to butcher an ox is... ineffective on the corpse before him.

This means that what killed these people... not only took their lives, but also all the karma they had accumulated!

The birth of cause and effect is the law of heaven and earth in the chaotic era. What terrifying thing can even take away cause and effect?

dominate?

Evil coming?

That's impossible...

Due to the unstable power emanating from the Chaos Body, it was impossible for any being of the Great Fiend or above to appear in the part of the Avici Hell where they were located, except for the curse!

Zhao Yi's expression turned serious, and he quickly dissected the other few intact corpses.

The result is the same.

These people died not from injury, nor from a curse.

They... are the part of their souls and karma that was taken away by someone!

Seeing the serious expression on Zhao Yi's face, Qin Bai's heart pounded even faster.

"Brother Yizi, don't scare me with that expression."

"What happened?"

Looking at Qin Bai's pale face, Zhao Yi's gaze was deep as he quickly explained:

"Something terrifying has come and taken away the karma that resides in the souls of these people."

Qin Bai was taken aback:

"You mean...their souls were extracted?"

Zhao Yi emphasized very seriously:

"It wasn't that my soul was taken away."

"It erases all traces of the soul that ever existed in this body."

"This means that no matter what method you use... there is no way to bring them back to life."

"Even if you have resurrection items, or something else..."

"Unless the one who took their karma is willing to return it, these dead people have no chance of even becoming ghosts or evil spirits!"

Qin Bai understood and chickened out.

Holy crap!

"Is it that scary?"

"How about... we head back first?"

"The church is far too dangerous!"

Zhao Yi activated his Evil Eyes and scanned his surroundings.

"You should go back first..."

"I'm very interested in the secrets deep inside the church and want to go and see them."

Upon hearing this, Qin Bai leaned back tactically.

"Brother Yizi, I've discovered you're really brave!"

Courage is not rare.

Anger can make people brave.

What's rare is... that a person can be brave in a state of absolute calm.

"What, you want to come with me?"

Qin Bai was eager to try, but also somewhat hesitant.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Together!"

"I want to go see it too!"

"My brother told me to follow you, how can I give up halfway?"

Zhao Yi rarely praised:

"You do have great potential... but only if you can get out of Abyss alive."

"Let's go..."

"Stay close on the road, and be alert!"

Qin Bai nodded, and the two of them passed through the church's conservatory and headed deeper into the church...
