NOVPUBThe speed at which the Evil God's eye-heart absorbed these pollution sources was slower than expected. After all, lacking consciousness, it could only absorb subconsciously. If Myne could guide its absorption, the speed might increase, but unfortunately, he couldn't.
So, he spent almost the entire day in the cave with it. The night fell quietly.
The scarlet in the nightwalker's eyes, which was tied in the corner by Waffle and Ted, gradually dissipated, and she slowly regained consciousness.
She soon vaguely remembered what had just happened.
It seemed that someone had come down into the pit, and she had pounced on him. Her body trembled slightly; she was a little scared. Had she torn him to pieces as well?
Then she looked around, wanting to see the body of the poor man who had become her food. But what she saw shocked her; next to the flower-bud brain, not far away, countless blood-red liquids gathered from all directions on the palm of an unknown young man.
This scared her so much that she couldn't help but tremble. She wanted to rush forward to help him, thinking that Myne might have been infected and was transforming into a nightwalker like her. After all, she hadn't witnessed the process of transformation, so she had no idea how it was done.
However, as she tore the ropes that bound her like a dumpling and wanted to move, suddenly three small figures – a wolf, a dog, and a floating whale – appeared before her and looked at her coldly.
For a moment, she felt her brain stop working, wondering if she had eaten something wrong and was hallucinating. Otherwise, how could there be a floating whale?
Thankfully, Myne noticed the movement on her side, turned his head, and smiled. "Miss Nightwalker, are you awake?"
"..."
"Pack up; I'm about to finish here. Guys, she is no longer a threat; you can do your things and leave us alone." Myne casually waved his hand, and Waffle and the others moved away.
"What... What do you mean?" She looked at Myne and his pets weirdly before speaking hoarsely. No one had talked to her for more than twenty years. She spoke like a child spelling, a little clumsy and awkward.
And Myne's side was also finished. A large amount of polluted liquid had all poured into the Evil God's eye.
The size of the eye did not change, but it became even shinier, with what looked like countless stars within it, which made it very mysterious. But except that there was no other change, seems this amount of pollution is far from enough to update it.
At the same time, a prompt appeared in front of Myne.
[ Successfully contained D-level pollutants. ]
[ Congratulations, Player Glitcher, for completing the world line hidden task. ]
[ Progress 1/1 ]
[ Reward: Nightshade Fruit. ]
Myne looked down and saw a bright red fruit on the ground. He picked it up.
[ Name: Nightshade Fruit ]
Type: Consumable
Function: After consumption, you will gain night vision, the upper limit of physical strength recovery is expanded to 40%, the recovery speed is doubled, poison resistance is enhanced, and strength and body movement in dark or shadowy environments is increased by 30 points.
Note: This effect is a permanent enhancement of the player's attributes, not restricted by dungeon rules, not affected by level, and not recorded by the matching mechanism. (Unrestricted items are extremely rare; please keep them properly.) ]
"Jackpot?!" Myne, reading the fruit's function, couldn't help but blurt out in excitement.
"Is this the fruit that has been decontaminated by the system? There are no side effects of turning into a nightwalker and losing your consciousness. It seems all the trouble was worth it."
Myne judged the value of this fruit at a glance, not because of its immediate effects, but because of the various restrictions mentioned in the notes.
For example, some dungeons may have restrictive rules, such as not being able to use equipment, skills, and level reduction. After one's abilities are restricted, the player will lose a sense of security. Just like when he was in the trial dungeon, he felt like anyone could kill him. If not for his new cheat-like ability that awakened and guided him through the entire process, he would have died countless times.
"But after taking it, the effects above are permanent and will not be restricted. It also specifically reminds me that this kind of thing is very rare. It seems the system wants to encourage me to do this kind of thing more in the future; it really knows how to motivate its workers."
Just as Myne picked up the fruit, Miss Nightwalker saw this scene and became anxious. She growled in a hoarse voice, "You can't eat that thing! Otherwise, you will become a monster like me."
Myne smiled playfully at her and spoke while giving her a wink, "Don't worry, my physique is different from that of ordinary people. I can handle more than a dozen women in my home; this is nothing."
"?"
Before she could react, Myne took a bite of the dark, palm-sized, melon-like fruit.
"Hmm. The taste is okay, a bit like rotten leaves mixed with mud and sand on a rainy day, and the feeling of liquid bursting out from the middle of a caterpillar's body."
However, as soon as the first piece of the fruit entered his stomach, he felt a shock, and his entire body started trembling as if he were electrocuted. When he regained his senses, the dark environment within his sight suddenly became as bright as day. The most important thing was that his physical strength was also recovering rapidly.
"It feels quite good," He muttered, eating the remaining fruit quickly. However, he found that except for the first bite, which changed his entire body, the rest of the fruit brought him no further changes at all.
As if he had sensed something, Myne suddenly looked at Miss Nightwalker.
She, who had already labelled Myne as one of her own kind after seeing him eating the fruit and waiting for his regret at not listening to her, suddenly shuddered, as if a primal fear rose within her, and she was actually startled, stepping back.
Could it still have a natural suppressive power against the nightwalkers? Why does it feel like I get an enhanced or perfected version of their defective bloodline? Myne said to himself.
This was also predictable. After all, the Nightwalkers were born from the polluted fruit of the pollution source. All nightwalkers are just derivatives. The one he ate was the original fruit after the pollution had been removed.
"It's time to go, Miss Nightwalker."
"Where are you going?" She looked at Myne with some fear. She still couldn't believe that someone could be fine after eating that wretched fruit that had destroyed the entire world.
"I'm going to see your old lover... Want to come along?" Myne picked up the UV flashlight and stuffed it into the package while speaking.
Miss Nightwalker didn't understand what she heard, but the words "old lover" still made her body tremble. She said with an excited tone, "You mean Kyle?"
Myne almost staggered. Just when he was about to mourn for Kran for three seconds, thinking that even if the world was destroyed this poor guy was made to wear a green hat, he suddenly paused, looked at her demonic appearance for a few seconds, before asking, "What's his full name?"
"Uh, Kyle Kran."
"Oh, that's okay."
Although Myne understood that he had misunderstood their loyalty, his expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly, "Let's go, hurry up. We have to make a plan tonight, make preparations, and then we can go to the nightwalker's lair tomorrow."
"Go to the nightwalker's lair? Why, that place is full of monsters!" She said in a trembling voice.
"Of course, we will defeat them and end it all," Myne said softly. "Don't you want to see the peaceful city of the old days again?"
"End it all? Is that even possible?"
Miss Nightwalker was a little stunned after hearing this.
She looked at Myne's figure, her eyes changed slightly, and regardless of the inexplicable fear, she couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"
"Me."
Myne smiled, feeling proud, and spoke while looking at the moon in the sky.
"Srinka's saviour."
