Chapter 242 - She was like a heroine riding off into the sunset and on her way to save the world (2)
Everyone in the tribe was waiting at the gate to see her off.
The news that Bei Nuan had saved everyone had already spread throughout the tribe. When Bei Nuan appeared, they deeply bowed towards her.
Jia Han took out a large piece of silk. The white silk was covered with countless identical symbols drawn with blue ink. The symbol was three ripples inside a circle.
"Everyone recently prayed for you in front of the water god. These symbols represent that each of us is willing to give up half of our life to bless you with safety.
The symbols on the white silk were written by different people. There were large and small symbols. Some were properly drawn and others were wobbly as if they were drawn by children.
Bei Nuan wasn't superstitious, but she knew that the people in the tribe sincerely believed in the water god. They genuinely asked the water god for this blessing.
A sea of eyes looked at her.
Bei Nuan accepted the white silk. Her throat felt a bit tight.
"Let's go," Lu Xingchi said.
Bei Nuan nodded. Against the rules, she solemnly bowed to the crowd that was seeing her off in the same salute they used to greet her with. Anyways, it wasn't the first time she used the wrong salute.
After passing through the tribe's gate, Bei Nuan took out the jeep. They had seen her put away a warehouse of stuff yesterday, so no one was too surprised when a jeep appeared out of thin air.
The sunlight heated up the air. It was as if the land was being broiled in an oven.
When the jeep was far away from the camp, Bei Nuan poked her head out of the window. She could still see Jia Han standing in the sentry tower and looking over here. The edges of his white clothes were lifted up by the wind.
He watched as his beloved saint gradually went farther away. She was like a heroine riding off into the sunset and on her way to save the world.
The tribe's camp gradually disappeared from sight. Bei Nuan sat back down in the passenger seat and looked at the white silk in her hand again.
"Big Sister Nuan Nuan," Tang Tang said, "People say that cats escape from fatal harm because they have nine lives. Now that you have so many lives, you definitely won't die easily either."
Jiang Fei reached his hand to the back row and smacked him. "What are you talking about? That's nonsense."
Bei Nuan smiled and put the white silk into her pocket space.
She had tapped everyone's forehead in the tribe, from newborns to elderly, to bless them. After blessing them, it was as if she had gained a magical connection to them, and as if she genuinely blessed and protected the tribe.
"Little Three," Bei Nuan called out to Little Three, "will this world exist after the novel is completed?"
Little Three answered without hesitation, "Of course it'll still exist. There's no difference between this world and the one you came from. Just think of it as a parallel world."
Since this world was real, then the people in it were also real. All the joy and pain, hate and love were all real.
Bei Nuan remembered the ending of the novel. The zombie virus was still spreading through like wildfire. She hoped that this disaster would pass soon and that everyone could be safe and return to their normal lives.
Bei Nuan turned her head to look at Lu Xingchi.
Lu Xingchi noticed her gaze, turned to look at her, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Bei Nuan shook her head.
Under the hot sunshine of the Southern Trophic, in this world that was similar, but not identical, Bei Nuan realized this world was also reality for the first time.
While Bei Nuan was in a daze, Little Three spoke, "Bei Nuan…"
Bei Nuan replied, "I know."
It was time to continue working on her tasks. Bei Nuan opened the taskbar.
The countdown for the previous task's reward had ended a while ago. Bei Nuan mentally pulled the handle on the lottery wheel.
The lottery wheel stopped on a new task called Absolute Obedience.
Absolute Obedience?
As soon as she saw these words, she was fired up. This was clearly an ability that could control others.
The task description was: mix a snake's venom and a man's sweat together, use the liquid to draw a circle on the mirror, and the magic will happen.
Just like the previous tasks, she had to follow the recipe and collect ingredients like a witch.
A snake's venom, let's put aside collecting this scary item for now.
A man's sweat. Last time, she needed a young woman's tears, and now she needed a man's sweat. That would make a pair.
Bei Nuan looked to the side. There were four men in the jeep, which was plenty, but how to make them sweat?
Lu Xingchi was wearing a white shirt and looked cool and fresh. He was currently driving.
Bei Nuan thought back on it and couldn't remember seeing him sweating. He always had a calm heart that kept him cool. Even on a hot day, he would at most roll up his sleeves and expose his forearms. He didn't look like he would sweat at all.
It wasn't just him. She couldn't remember seeing the other guys sweat either.
Bei Nuan had a headache. Getting sweat was harder than getting tears. A swipe of pickled pepper juice was enough to induce tears. Moreover, she had to mix the sweat with venom.
Since she didn't know where to find a snake's venom yet, she had to collect the sweat in advance and keep it until she could find venom.
Bei Nuan quickly came up with an idea and took out a small, white towel from her pocket space.
If Lu Xingchi sweated, she could oh so naturally wipe his sweat for him. He definitely wouldn't object. And then, she would put the small towel in the upper layer of her pocket space so that the sweat wouldn't evaporate. Once she found venom, she would drip it onto the towel, wipe the towel on the mirror, and be done.
