Under Lynn's stunned gaze, the gleaming Black Skull Coin landed squarely in Zuo Zuo's open mouth.
Zuo Zuo chewed it a couple of times, then swallowed hard.
Gulp-
The unmistakable sound of a coin being swallowed rang out.
[Ding! Skeleton coins -1,000, happiness -10]
Lynn's eyes instantly went blank.
White Night also stared dumbly at the absurd scene, forgetting even to pick up the files that had fallen from his hands.
She had eaten it!
She had actually eaten it!
Zuo Zuo shook her hand vigorously and picked up another Black Skull Coin. Without turning to look at Lynn's expression behind her, she said earnestly:
"If I'd done this before, Head would definitely have beaten me to death. But if this can get even a little fighting spirit out of him so he can use his Curse Removal ability on himself, I'll force myself to eat a few more."
She put on a reluctant look.
Then she stared at the coin in her hand with apparent difficulty.
Clearly.
Money didn't taste very good.
Then she repeated the process right in front of Lynn without looking at him, tossing the Black Skull Coin in her hand into the air.
Ting-
Lynn and White Night raised their heads again, trembling.
Clearly, barring any surprises, this Black Skull Coin would soon become Zuo Zuo's food too.
"I'm going to eat it now."
Zuo Zuo raised her hand, opened her mouth, and reached up again.
But at that very moment, Lynn, who couldn't be bothered to speak or acknowledge anyone, suddenly let out an urgent cry. Through a tremendous effort of will, his limp body finally rolled over on the bed.
"Stop!"
Furious but utterly devoid of fighting spirit, Lynn thrust out his right hand, trying to grab the Black Skull Coin
