I initially thought it was just a regular cut, but to my surprise, the wound was already festering and blackened under the bandage, and worm-like scars were growing on it, showing signs of creeping upwards.
"What's going on?!" Ma Ye was greatly shocked.
"Ah... don't be afraid of your injury."
The old woman slowly replied to him, reaching into a clay pot in the corner with her bare hand and pulling a worm out of the slime.
Ma Ye swore he had never seen such a disgusting insect.
Its body was translucent and blood-red, wriggling, and the filth inside could be seen. Its mouthparts at the top were contracted and covered with dense teeth, and its body was covered with more than a dozen tentacles.
May Ma Ye rest in peace. (Sad)
Just seeing this worm is enough to make me die...
Now the witch doctor is placing the insect on his arm, its mouthparts aimed at the scar.
Ma Ye, who always prided himself on his courage, didn't dare to move an inch, his Adam's apple bobbing uncontrollably as he tried his best to suppress his reaction.
"Huh?"
Jiang Nuo sighed and shook her head, "It's best to avoid getting hurt unless absolutely necessary."
It's very creepy.
Si Yan pursed her lips, deeply agreeing. The two of them took three steps back, keeping a good distance from the worm.
[Hahaha, what's going on with you two, young couple!]
"Ah!"
The moment the mouthparts ripped open the wound, Ma Ye let out the most agonizing scream of his life.
He even felt that this arm no longer belonged to him; it didn't hurt as much as being stabbed by a sharp needle.
"Don't move..."
The witch doctor, however, seemed to be used to it and skillfully pressed down on Ma Ye's neck to stop him from screaming.
A full minute.
Ma Ye was able to move, but he was already drenched in sweat, and his face was three times paler than a ghost.
But the strips of flesh on her arm have gradually disappeared.
While he was being tortured here, Jiang Nuo was already peeking into the earthenware pot in the corner.
These insects seem even scarier than Gu worms.
It's kind of interesting, just a little disgusting.
" Nuonuo... it's dirty, we can't keep her."
"I know, I'll just think about it."
Jiang Nuo quickly withdrew her hand, smiled, and said, "No, absolutely not."
"Huh? Huh? You still want to keep this thing?"
"It's just a show... Who would want to keep such a disgusting thing?"
"My idol always makes outrageous statements."
Ma Ye was finally freed from torture.
He was on the verge of collapse, his legs trembling as he stepped on the ground. Before he could catch his breath, the witch doctor woman suddenly approached again, speaking in broken Mandarin in a low voice.
"Don't believe what he says... If you're in the woods, don't believe what you say, and don't believe that flower either."
Ma Ye:...?
Was what he just heard really Chinese?
Before I could ask, the witch doctor was already limping back.
What did he say?
Jiang Nuo leaned closer to listen.
Ma Ye snapped out of his silence and repeated what he had just said.
One person's silence turned into three people's speechlessness.
Jiang Nuo clicked his tongue, "That was truly an enlightening reminder."
After leaving the witch doctor's house, Jiang Nuo climbed a tree and looked around. The mist in the other side of the woods was about to dissipate, so they had to go back to A Qiang's house.
"Brother Ma, are you going to stay here any longer?"
Ma Ye shook his head. "I need to go back and rest. The hotel I'm staying at is in that area, but it's in the middle row."
Ah! The guests at the hotel have already discovered they're gone!
[Return immediately!]
Five minutes ago, at the hotel.
Su Hen knocked on Lin Yu's door and asked if he had found the souvenir. Lin Yu shook his head with a troubled expression, "No, it doesn't seem to be in this room."
The two chatted for a while, with Lin Yu doing most of the praising Su Hen's stories, his gentle smile making people feel comfortable.
Su Hen's arrogance was satisfied, completely unaware that his Soul Power was being drained.
Thread by thread, silently and without a sound.
Lin Yu carefully stored all the Soul Power he obtained, intending to offer it to An Yin in exchange for even greater power.
Only after the black mist dissipated did Su Hen feel inexplicably tired. At the same time, the hatred in his heart grew stronger as they talked about Jiang Nuo.
He got up, almost forgetting the camera was there, and walked straight to Jiang Nuo's room.
The moment the door was pushed open, neither Jiang Nuo nor Su Hen noticed the equally astonished comments on the screen.
Where are they?
Su Hen checked repeatedly, but he still couldn't see two people that big.
They actually disobeyed the rules and went out on their own!
Believing she had caught them red-handed, Su Hen slammed the door shut. " Jiang Nuo and Si Yan ran away! They didn't follow the rules!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Chu Xiu opened the door and scolded, "I told you to rest, why did you go to Jiang Nuo's room?"
As she spoke, she glanced into the room. Seeing that no one was there, she was slightly startled, her mind racing.
The others also opened the doors.
Qian Sen looked surprised and quickly tried to cover it up, "Maybe we should go to the outer room, why are you yelling?"
Zhou Ling: "Not very bold, but with a loud voice."
Why are they all on Jiang Nuo's side?!
Su Hen was furious and yelled at Chu Xiu, "Are all celebrities like this? Sticking together for warmth and excluding us internet celebrities who have no fans?!"
Chu Xiu: "... Are you crazy?"
"Ugh! What the hell Su Hen!! Don't you dare insult our Xiuxiu!"
"Knowing you don't have many followers and still daring to criticize, your account will suffer the consequences."
Is this person mentally unstable...?
What's all this noise about?!
With a bang, Da Qiang burst through the door and into the corridor.
Zhou Ling's eyes flashed, and she closed Jiang Nuo's door.
"The fog outside is almost clearing. Looks like you've all rested well. It's so noisy."
Su Hen seized the opportunity to quickly complain, "We've rested well, but those who haven't come out yet might not be so lucky."
" Su Hen!"
Qian Sen warned in a low voice.
"Huh?" Da Qiang glared angrily at the group. "Ah... those two pretty boys haven't come out yet."
Inside the room, Jiang Nuo and the other person, who had climbed back up from the window, heard Su Hen's complaint.
Si Yan frowned and glanced at the door.
" Si Yan, come and lie down quickly."
When she turned around, Jiang Nuo had already taken off her coat and gotten into bed, patting the empty space.
Si Yan's eyes flickered. He knelt on one knee, placed one hand on the back of Jiang Nuo's neck, and lowered his body.
" Nuonuo, they'll open the door in ten seconds at most."
"Uh-huh?"
Jiang Nuo raised an eyebrow and tilted her head back, a surge of excitement from the imminent countdown.
Si Yan lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on Jiang Nuo's lips.
Footsteps could already be heard very close outside the door.
In the last few seconds, he leaned down and kissed Jiang Nuo's lips.
Even more intense than the sound of the door opening was Si Yan's pounding heart.
Click.
Da Qiang pushed open the room door.
Qian Sen quickly blocked the door:?!!! I'm doomed!
Comments: "... Oh my god."
Daqiang, Da Qiang:...
Si Yan seemed disturbed, turned around unhappily, and glared at Da Qiang and Su Hen, who were frozen in place at the door, "You two are really rude."
Jiang Nuo lazily crawled out of the covers, clung to Si Yan, and glanced at Su Hen with an ambiguous expression.
"You guys! Really!... Get out here right now!"
Da Qiang was shocked by this scene and strode away.
"Who is complaining?"
Jiang Nuo chuckled, and the moment she stood up, a sharp needle flew out from her sleeve.
"Well!"
Su Hen's arm was pierced, and the sharp needle pierced through and embedded itself in the wall.
