[You get a three-star character card...]

The moment he left the game copy, a series of system prompts popped up.

A series of distorted and blurred characters emerged and dissipated in mid-air, followed by a golden light like water, and a seemingly virtual card slowly condensed in the golden ripples.

Bai Yi raised his hand to catch it.

But his attention was not completely on this newly acquired character card.

"New features? System mall? Are game points finally useful..."

While clicking on the system mall, Bai Yi casually glanced at his basic panel.

It has been more than four months since the Nightmare game came to the present, and Bai Yi has cleared many levels of dungeons, large and small. Since the game points have not been used before, the accumulation is still quite considerable.

——————

230 points?I don't know how the purchasing power is... Thinking like this, Bai Yi looked at the system mall that was unfolding in front of his eyes.

During the thought movement, the apartment seemed to change in time and space, with illusory starry skies flickering around, surrounded by countless floating bubbles.There seems to be something in every bubble.

Bai Yi restrained her mind, stared at the nearest bubble, and immediately saw a scroll of pictures floating in the bubble, and more information appeared in front of her like a soul——

["The Last Supper" 10 points]

[Type: Strange Object / Depressing Artwork]

[Source: Joey, God of Depressed Art]

[Effect: Indiscriminate mental pollution]

[Explanation: A will judgment is made for all creatures within a certain range, and creatures that fail the judgment will suffer from indiscriminate mental pollution.The condition and duration of mental pollution depend on the willpower of the creature and the different effects of strange objects. It may cause various pollution states such as "self-eating", "cannibalizing", "loving each other like relatives" and "killing each other like enemies". ]

[Tip: The player touches the bubble, which is regarded as purchasing an item, and the system automatically deducts points. 】

"???" Several big question marks appeared on Bai Yi's forehead, "If I remember correctly, this should be my own work, right?"

As he said this, his eyes carefully scanned several bubbles, including sculptures, music scores, poetry collections, and exquisitely packaged snacks... Bubbles flashed before his eyes: "Holy Prayer · Depressed Edition", "White Dove", "Alice's Death", "Gods Beyond Dimensions"... and the source of these props is all in one column - [Joy, the god of depressing art].

After confirming the eyes, they are all his works!

"Good guy! My own works have to be purchased with points? What kind of profiteer is the person who designed this system..."

Subconsciously complaining, Bai Yi suddenly realized something, and couldn't help falling into a brief silence.

It seems that the profiteer is myself?

Cough, it seems that I can no longer happily complain about the system like I used to~

[Although it is the work of the player himself, it will take a certain amount of energy for transportation to bring it out from the dungeon.Players are expected to bear shipping costs.That is, 1/10 of the price points.There are no additional charges other than shipping costs. 】

[As for other props not created by the player himself, the purchase price is still the original price. 】

In the illusory space, one after another handwriting slowly appeared, and the system procedurally reminded:

[Reminder: Due to the particularity of the Death Gallery, players can choose to purchase the "Death Gallery Gift Pack" containing 99 paintings, of which the player can specify three works, and the remaining 96 paintings are random.The price is much lower than purchasing the "Gallery of Death" and then purchasing 99 paintings. 】

Following the system prompts, Bai Yi saw more bubbles floating in this space.

"Sabbath", "Ghosts", "Autumn Fields", "Gallery of Death", "Fallen Icons"... Special props from the entire art world almost fill this space, wrapped in nothingness In the bubble, it was like countless stars revolving around Bai Yi.

Bai Yi quickly found the "Gallery of Death Gift Package", the price is exactly 60 points.

In addition, there are also strange-looking things such as Zhiyu Music Gift Pack and "Joy Zhiyu Anthology".

"Well, this looks fun, buy it!"

"This seems to be very interesting..."

"And this, this, this..."

In short, buy, buy, buy, buy!

"La la la la ~"

In the starry sky composed of countless illusory bubbles, Bai Yi is like a child who has discovered a new toy, constantly picking up the stars floating around, humming a song happily.

In that upbeat tune that doesn't even have lyrics, the 230 points are completely spent.

Until there was only a big zero left on the panel, Bai Yi finally stopped.

He waved back to the starry sky, and there was still a bit of meaning in his bright smile.

...At first I thought the game points were useless.

...Now, it smells so good!

The starry sky receded, Bai Yi sat down at the table, and fished it out of the sky, an ancient picture scroll that mixed the sacred and the evil slowly emerged.It was one of the many props he bought.

This picture scroll has a strange texture, like the pale moonlight reflecting on the girl's skin, cold and warm coexist.The moment the picture scroll emerged, the rich fragrance of fresh blood almost leaked from the drawing paper, as if the blood stained the girl's skin red, exuding an unusually alluring sweet smell.

Bai Yi looked up.

Large areas of blood red permeate the painting paper, like a cloud of fire burning in the sky - it is a large area of ​​blooming rose bushes.But if you look carefully, there are no rose bushes. They are clearly countless entangled blood-colored shadows. They stretch out wantonly, like hands that have been broken and twisted on the ground, but are still struggling for help. .

"Is this the Sabbath?"

Bai Yi let go of his hand like an electric shock, and let this weird picture scroll lightly fall on the table.

In the unfolded scroll, rose bushes burn like flames, and a family of three stands in the burning rose bush.On the left is a man wearing a white shirt, pale and thin, like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of skin.On the right is a woman in a black gauze dress, with a gauze hat of the same color on her head, and a thin layer of black gauze on her face, only showing a beautifully shaped chin and red lips with a smile.

A little girl stood between the couple who didn't look well-matched, holding each of her two little hands. Her soft dark black hair was draped over her shoulders, and a big red bow was tied on top of her head, facing the painter's eyes. A bright smile revealed deep dimples.

——This looks like a very happy and sweet family portrait.But it just brings inexplicable horror and weirdness.

Behind the sweet smile, there seemed to be endless resentment, endless curses, and endless shouts, pouring out overwhelmingly, they turned into endless noise pollution, pouring towards Baiyi, almost overwhelming in his mind , Turn upside down!

boom!

The impact that was so close and unstoppable made Bai Yi take several steps back the moment she let go of the painting, and sat firmly on the bed.

He put his hand on his forehead.

This feeling has been gone for a long time...

It was the first time for him to feel such a close-range mental impact since he established the web of thinking, and once again tasted the feeling of being filled with a pile of garbage that he had experienced in the past ten years.

"Oh, it's really..." After a while, Bai Yi, who was almost stuck, raised his head little by little, and his gaze fell directly on the unfolded picture scroll of the suit, "I'm careless."

"Although I know it's not intentional conspiracy, but if I don't return the rubbish, I can't swallow this breath..."

He slowly got up from the bed.

Then the invisible web unfolded.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Like an endless river flowing backwards, the resentment, curse, fear, anger that originally poured out from the ancient paintings... the black mud that has accumulated for hundreds of years, was all poured back by Bai Yiyuan.

There seemed to be vague screams in his ears.

After cleaning up the messy garbage in her mind, Bai Yi felt refreshed for a while.

When he came back to his senses and looked at it again, the picture scroll on the desktop had unknowingly changed.

The little girl who was facing the outside of the painting and the woman standing on the right have turned their heads to the left at some point, heading straight to the far right.

Their empty pupils were like will-o'-the-wisps.

Bai Yi looked over curiously.

On the far left of the picture scroll, the skinny man's face was terrified and contorted. Bloodstains gradually appeared on his original white shirt, including nail marks of adults, handprints of children, and various scratches.

These bloodstains densely covered his shirt from scratch, and then spread along his neck and arms, gradually covering his entire skin, looking weird and terrifying.

It seemed that two invisible hands were constantly tearing at his soul, leaving trails of bloodstains.

The man opened his mouth wide.

He looked at Bai Yi for a moment, with a strong pleading in his straight eyes, as if he was asking for help to the only living person in this room.

"Tsk, it's ugly~"

Bai Yi shook his head in disgust, walked over and picked up the scroll, the person in the painting immediately became motionless like a mouse being watched by a cat, and the man's frightened eyes slightly relaxed.

Then, Bai Yi turned it over and put it back on the table face up.

That's all right, don't worry about being ugly to yourself!

"...?"

At the same moment, Bai Yi seemed to hear a heart-piercing scream, and an extremely strong smell of blood permeated the air instantly.

However, there was no trace of blood on the scroll.

He didn't see what a bloody scene was happening on the unfolded scroll——

Amidst the screams, in the blink of an eye, the man on the picture scroll turned into a bloody mess, and the entire human skin fell off his body, and was quickly swallowed by the rose bushes that looked like human hands behind him, leaving only The next mass of flesh rolled and howled among the rose bushes.

A few seconds later, everything returned to calm, the scroll was in a trance for a while, the blood-red rose bush squirmed, and the scroll returned to the appearance Bai Yi saw at the beginning.

——A clean and tidy man in a snow-white shirt, an elegant and beautiful woman with a black veil covering her face, and a little girl with a sweet smile, with blood-red rose bushes blooming behind them.

It was as if the terrible scene just now had never happened.

Then, at the next moment, as if reincarnation had begun, dense bloodstains and claw marks climbed up the man's body, and amidst screams, a complete human skin fell off his body.

This process was repeated three times in just 5 minutes, and the cycle continued to be staged in the world in the painting. The resentment in the eyes of the woman and the little girl became stronger and stronger, and the madness became deeper and deeper. Their pupils...some kind of extremely strong negative emotions are constantly condensing and growing in this cycle again and again.

——Since the creation of this painting, they have been repeating this cycle of reincarnation in the painting.

And in the constant cycle of reincarnation, the previous resentment has not been alleviated, but has accumulated deeper and deeper. Because of this, Bai Yi was caught off guard when he unfolded the picture scroll.

——The rhythm of all things made him extremely sensitive to the existence of such spiritual ideas.Ordinary people may not be affected by this painting so quickly, but he passively perceives it all.

At this moment, even if he didn't see what happened on the picture scroll with his own eyes, only relying on the perception from the rhythm of all things, and hearing the screams in his ears, Bai Yi could still know what happened.

A thought came to him involuntarily——

"According to the background in the copy of the nightmare fragments, every master of "Sabbath" will go mad and destroyed after a period of time. Therefore, this dark holy tome will be regarded as a painting of the curse, and every master will be cursed ..."

Bai Yi is keenly aware that every time a round of peeling is completed, the resentment and special soul energy condensed on this scroll will become stronger.

Based on this, it is speculated that when the cycle and reincarnation reach a certain number of times, the resentment accumulated by the resentful spirits in the picture scroll will become stronger and stronger, and sooner or later one day they will break through a certain limit, thus affecting the real picture scroll owner and causing spiritual pollution to him ...Perhaps, this is the truth of the "curse"?

"It should be more than that..."

Anyway, it is also the source of pollution in the Nightmare Fragment dungeon. The introduction that opened the door to the ruins of the world, besides spiritual pollution, should have other abilities...

...Maybe his guess is wrong, it is not that complicated at all, there is no pollution of resentment, it is purely the resentment spirit in the painting claiming his life!

While thinking, the mental shocks around him continued to flow, and the endless noise lifted Bai Yi's skull and lined up to drill into his mind.

Gugu~

"Ah, I'm hungry."

Touching her rumbling stomach, Bai Yi looked serious, "What do you want to eat..."

He was caught off guard before, but now Bai Yi has adapted well. With the accompaniment full of screams and curses, he still has the mind to think about dinner.

As if thinking of something, Bai Yi went to the kitchen, and soon found a fish that was not very active in the basin, he picked it up skillfully, and threw it on the cutting board with a "snap".

"Sure enough, there is another fish!"

At this time, it was dusk.

The brilliance of the setting sun came in from the kitchen window and fell on the cooking table, on the young man in front of the cooking table, on the kitchen knife and the shiny blade he held high.

Swish!

When the knife was cut down, blood splashed out, and the body and head were separated.

The scene was bloody at times.

...I'm so hungry after seeing it.

He showed the expression of a scientist studying the truth, and solemnly declared:

“This fish looks delicious~”

"It's a good time to try the gloomy dark cuisine that has been honed and sublimated in the new copy!"

As the flames rose, the phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly, and an official announcement appeared on the screen.

——Yao Country issued a global first-level arrest warrant, and K, the murderer of the rainy night serial murder case in Yuanyang City, was on the most-wanted lists of both countries overnight.
