Chapter 104: [Beauty Above All] Mysterious Fragment
A dodder vine, even faster, pierced into the girl’s mouth, blocking her throat.
At the same time, the dodder vine quickly took root in her skull.
This scene was not gentle.
The girl’s head struggled violently.
Then, from the top of her head, as if peeling a banana, the entire outer layer of her head melted and peeled away.
A skull flew out.
But the dodder flower didn’t disappear because she left. On the contrary, it still grew rapidly in her mouth.
The entire head quickly withered and turned into ashes.
A clump of dodder vines fell down, gradually unfurling, revealing a fragment-like object in the middle.
Bai Cha picked up the fragment.
[Ding——Congratulations on obtaining a mysterious fragment. Collect 999 fragments to receive a mysterious gift——]
Bai Cha: “…”
The game’s gift might not necessarily be a good thing.
This fragment felt a bit elastic and was lukewarm to the touch, a very strange sensation.
Could it be pieced together into a head?
However, the color of the fragment was light pink, so it probably wasn’t… but it was hard to say.
Who said a head couldn’t be pink?
Bai Cha thought so but still put it into her backpack.
The commotion she made was not small, but there was no sound outside.
Bai Cha stared at the bed curtains in front of her.
Her fingers moved slightly, and the dodder vines that had fallen to the ground quietly spread out.
Then, she suddenly flung open the bed curtains.
Five heads were floating there side by side.
Upon seeing her, they revealed distorted smiles and quickly flew towards her.
The dodder vines on the ground shot out dodder seeds, directly drilling into the nostrils of several heads.
At the same time, she dodged the attacks, but the cleaver in her hand was indeed difficult to directly cut these heads in half.
They were too hard.
Logically, a D-level instance shouldn’t be like this.
She had watched Father Gu cut off heads one by one so easily, but she couldn’t do it.
Although it might be because these heads were originally just one head.
The dodder flower was still more useful, directly destroying from the inside. While absorbing and strengthening the roots, these heads all turned into ashes.
Another five fragments.
After putting them all into her backpack, Bai Cha gathered all the vines on the ground into a net in her hand while looking at the other five hospital beds in the ward.
To be honest, the ceiling of this room was really low.
Probably at most one meter eighty.
Bai Cha could touch the ceiling just by raising her hand.
The hospital beds were rectangular, like coffins.
Pulling open the curtains on the remaining beds, based on the length of their hair, they were tentatively identified as different genders.
After all, it was impossible to tell what they looked like anymore. Most importantly, their heads were all the same as the girl’s just now.
The entire head looked as if the outer layer had peeled off like a banana skin, just hanging down on the neck. This scene was even more stimulating than seeing a single head.
Bai Cha held up the mirror to one of them, and the reflection in the mirror was exactly the same as outside.
Speaking of which, the heads had been visible since just now.
Were the heads in the hospital different, or was it for some other reason?
She carefully looked at herself in the mirror again.
For now, there was nothing unusual.
What exactly did “Zheng Yue” mean by “watch your face”?
Thump—
A head suddenly pressed against the hospital ward window.
The exposed eyeballs rolled, staring at Bai Cha inside the room.
It let out a sharp, shrill laugh. “There’s still one person in here!”
Thump thump thump—
Several other heads immediately climbed over as well.
Still more?
Bai Cha wasn’t afraid of them, but it wasn’t hard to tell from their words that other players should have arrived.
The sound of heads hitting the door grew louder and louder.
Crash—the glass shattered.
Heads immediately flew in one by one in a line.
A large yellow net swooped down, and all eight heads that flew in fell into the net.
Bai Cha switched her cleaver to Frost Mountain sword, wanting to see if Frost Mountain sword could break the defense of these heads.
She didn’t go over. Looking at the writhing mass of heads inside the net, she used a dodder vine to tie the handle of Frost Mountain sword and swung it out.
With a hiss, Frost Mountain sword easily pierced into a head.
The sword body of Frost Mountain sword itself emitted light, completely absorbing that head.
This power should have been transmitted to Bai Cha.
However, there was still a dodder vine in between.
New vines branched out from that dodder vine, and their color was different from the surrounding ones. Originally a light yellow, these newly grown ones had a touch of vibrant red.
Bai Cha’s eyes lit up, and she controlled these vines to attack the heads inside.
Controlling them felt no different, but these few vines were tougher and more aggressive than the others.
And it also saved some of her strength consumption.
The only downside was that the Frost Mountain sword itself was also absorbing power.
She had to make a choice between the two. Bai Cha first used the Frost Mountain sword to skewer the remaining seven heads into a candied hawthorn skewer. The sword blade flew through the seven heads, leaving the dodder vines at the wounds of the skulls.
This saved some use of the dodder seeds and also avoided excessive use of the sword.
Another head flew in from outside.
The short sword flew through the air, directly piercing through the head’s eye.
Fragments +9.
She opened the ward door.
The lights in the corridor were dim.
And they were a pale pink color.
This kind of lighting in a hospital was really out of place.
She thought of those fragments, wondering if there was any connection between the two.
There were no other heads outside.
Bai Cha held the net, constantly wary of her surroundings.
Judging by the look of the head just now, even if the first players they found had unfortunately died, there should still be a battlefield left, right?
But it was too quiet.
Until she passed a ward.
Bang—
A two-headed monster pounced on the glass, staring at her in horror, opening its mouth as if wanting to say something. But there seemed to be some granulation tissue wriggling in its mouth, preventing it from speaking.
Bai Cha narrowed her eyes. Suddenly, she heard movement at the stairwell.
She quickly wrapped the dodder flower around herself. It quickly weaved according to her will, like wearing a pale yellow coat.
Two people appeared at the stairwell.
Those two were also clearly very cautious.
They were startled when they saw Bai Cha.
They were two players.
Bai Cha also let out a short exclamation, then quickly covered her mouth, glancing at the ward.
The person in the ward was gone; that should have been a player.
The two players recognized Bai Cha. The distinctiveness of her appearance increased the probability of her being recognized.
The two walked over carefully.
One of them noticed the coat on Bai Cha, which looked like finely woven rattan, but didn’t think too much about it.
It wasn’t uncommon to have defensive props worn on the body.
“What are you doing here?”
Bai Cha pointed to the ward in front of her, tears already welling up in her eyes. “Th-that… just now… there was a two-headed person…”
She paused, swallowed, her voice trembling, with a hint of a sob. “Seemed like a player…”
The two players next to her immediately took out their props, looking at the ward with vigilance.
