Bai Shuang's screams kept reaching Shen Hao's ears; the sound was extremely shrill, but to him it was quite pleasant.
But this sound didn't last long, because Bai Shuang herself couldn't bear the pain, and in the agony, she chose to end her own life.
Only death can end this suffering.
In Shen Hao's view, this kind of thing was already very common.
Many of his prey chose to end their own lives.
He was proud of his ability to make his opponents commit suicide.
"Your prey chose suicide out of fear and despair, and you gained 2000 points of Fear Points."
This Bai Shuang is Contractor, and she is very strong. She alone provided 2,000 points of Fear Points.
Because of the existence of the Demon Domain, Shen Hao gained Fear Points at a faster rate, obtaining a total of 8,000 Fear Points from his prey.
But that's nothing compared to the main thing: that deity.
He alone brought Shen Hao 20,000 points of Fear Points.
Because He died in the Demon Domain.
Under the influence of the Demon Domain, His fear intensified, ultimately resulting in a significant amount of Fear Points being contributed.
He felt fear from the moment he entered the Demon Domain, and even in death he did not put up much resistance, showing none of the pride of a god.
This surprised Shen Hao as well.
Even if He is not a true god, He is seen as a god-like being in the eyes of humankind.
Such a being must be incredibly proud, and certainly wouldn't be afraid of a mortal.
What He feared was that eye in the sky, for it was the eye of the Demon.
"Perhaps He has seen a real Demon, which is why He is so afraid."
Shen Hao guessed to himself.
That deity once opposed the Lord of the Netherworld, yet he was so afraid of Demons.
Are Demons more powerful than the Lord of the Netherworld who rules this world?
How could such a powerful being have fallen? Even its corpse was incomplete, with its parts scattered across various Instance.
But he can hardly guess the correct answer now; perhaps he will know after he obtains more Demon organs.
"You have completed all Instance quests. Would you like to leave the Instance now?"
Upon hearing the system notification, Shen Hao chose to leave immediately.
There's nothing worth exploring here, let's hurry back and match for the next Instance.
He has transformed into a ruthless dungeon -Instance machine.
"I... I'm not dead?"
Bai Shuang opened her eyes, her gaze filled with disbelief.
She clearly died in the Instance, so logically she should have died in real life too.
However, she was resurrected in reality.
Bai Shuang found it unbelievable, but she was indeed still alive.
Thinking about what she had just experienced in the Instance, she still felt pain all over her body.
The sensation of those insects devouring her flesh was deeply imprinted in her heart; the pain was simply too intense.
She never imagined that she would be eaten by the very insects she raised; it felt like karma.
But she is still alive.
"You have been resurrected, but this resurrection will result in the loss of 90% of your experience points."
Upon hearing the game system's notification, Bai Shuang felt a wave of despair wash over her.
"90% of the experience points?"
She immediately checked her character panel and discovered that she was only level 5.
Before entering the Instance, she was a level 25 Ability User, and she even had a fortuitous encounter in the Instance, awakening abilities from two different systems.
But now, she has actually become level 5.
A level 5 player has not yet become Ability User, which means she has lost all her powers.
Bai Shuang clenched her fists. This was supposed to be a simple S-rank Instance, but she had messed it up like this. She really didn't know how to explain it to her family.
At this moment, she felt that resurrection might not be a good thing.
She's still alive, which means she has to face the consequences of messing everything up.
She really didn't know what the future held, because she had offended quite a few people.
Now that she's reached level 5, she's likely to be torn to pieces by her former enemies.
Just as she was filled with fear and anxiety, a man in his fifties entered her room.
The man's eyes lit up with surprise when he saw her. "You're back? How did it go? You became Contractor?"
The man was her father, Bai Zheng.
She was able to qualify as Contractor thanks to her father's efforts.
Before entering the Instance, her father had great confidence in her, stating that the Bai Family would produce a second Contractor.
But she clearly disappointed her father.
At that moment, she didn't know how to answer her father's question, so she just nodded gently.
Bai Zheng's face was full of joy as he said, "I knew it! My daughter would definitely become Contractor."
Now our Bai Family finally has two Contractors.
"Let me see what the deity you've contracted looks like."
Bai Shuang didn't know how to answer for a moment, and stammered, unable to speak.
Bai Zheng had never seen his daughter like this before, and hurriedly asked, "What happened? Is something wrong?"
"I..." Bai Shuang knew that this matter could not be hidden, but she still made up her mind to tell the truth.
"I... I died in the Instance, and I lost 90% of my experience points."
Bai Zheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "He died in the Instance, but was resurrected."
Others have encountered similar situations recently.
It's said that this is a bug in the game, and it happens every few years.
When I was young, a friend of mine encountered a similar situation, but that was more than ten years ago.
He discovered that the Instance boss had become incredibly strong, making it impossible to clear Instance. He eventually died inside, but like you, he was resurrected Instance.
This is the game's compensation for its mistake; although it's a bit of a loss, at least the person is still alive.
Bai Zheng continued, "You're unlucky to have encountered this situation."
But as expected of my daughter, she succeeded even under these circumstances.
You've now become Contractor, possessing divine power. Your level can be increased further; it's very easy for you.
Bai Shuang dared not look her father in the eye, remained silent for a while, and then said...
"Not only am I dead, but even... even that god is dead!"
"What? What did you say?!" Bai Zheng shouted in disbelief.
"God is dead? How is that possible? You must be joking with me!"
"No, it's true, He's dead. He was killed by the Instance boss!"
"You..."
Bai Zheng was unable to recover from this huge shock for a while, and it took him a long time to process what his daughter had said.
"Are you lying? You've never become Contractor, and you're just trying to fool me with this excuse!" Bai Zheng said disappointedly.
"I'm telling the truth, really," Bai Shuang recounted what had happened inside the Instance.
Bai Zheng roared angrily, "You piece of trash! All that effort I put into getting this opportunity for you was for nothing! Do you know how much I've sacrificed for you?"
Even if you had committed suicide inside the Instance, this situation wouldn't have happened!
"I'm so sorry, I... I really didn't expect this to happen."
Bai Zheng's eyes were filled with disappointment. His daughter had always been his pride, but now she disappointed him greatly.
That god is dead, which means that Bai Shuang can no longer form contracts with other gods unless she regains the qualification to become Contractor.
All his hard work was in vain.
Looking at the disappointment in her father's eyes, Bai Shuang felt that she would rather die.
The resurrection only brought her greater suffering.
