Chapter 17
1328 Words
Entering through the front door was not possible, so Lorna climbed into the room through the back window. There was still a loud thunder outside. His mother in the room was snoring after falling asleep after getting drunk, and he had no idea what kind of thrilling experience she had experienced before.
There were water marks on the window where she had crawled over, but she had no strength to clean them. The window was shaken by the wind and rain, making a 'cracking' sound.
Lorna collapsed to the ground, all his strength exhausted, and he was unwilling to move even a finger.
She still held the dagger in her right hand, as if only this could make her feel at ease.
The aftereffects of the murder surged into her heart, and the feeling of blood remaining in her mouth made her chest churn.
She tilted her head and dry-heaved twice, spitting out some water. After tossing and turning for a while, she calmed down, and Lorna finally had time to pay attention to the prompts in her mind.
The card that originally appeared in her consciousness disappeared after she left the space, and was replaced by a brand new interface, which displayed her available points: two hundred.
This should be the reward after completing the trial. She tried to feel the points with her mind, and a redeemable interface appeared in her sea of consciousness.
She took a quick look and found that there were not many things. The most eye-catching thing in the first row was the imperial coins.
The number of one hundred thousand per portion clearly indicated the number of points required to be redeemed: twenty.
As far as she could remember, Lorna 's family was not well-off. Her father committed a crime and disappeared in his early years, leaving behind a huge debt, and her mother was an alcoholic. She was able to complete her studies by relying on excellent grades and the royal family's subsidies and loans for outstanding students.
She still owes student loans, which is one of the important reasons why she is eager to find a job after graduation. The 200 points she has are enough to exchange for a huge amount of money, allowing her to pay off the loan and live a less tight life.
If he had not experienced the thrilling trial tonight and had not almost lost his life in that mysterious space, so much money would definitely be very attractive to Lorna .
But her previous experience made her remain highly alert even after she left the space.
She had already pulled the mouse cord that the doctor had put around her neck, and the doctor had even died in her hands, but the shadow cast by this incident had not been eliminated. She always had a feeling that danger was following her like a shadow, as if the life-threatening crisis had not really been resolved, making it difficult for her to feel at ease.
At this point, all the evidence makes it difficult for Lorna to deceive himself into thinking that what happened tonight was just his imagination.
There is no doubt that the "Trial of God" is real. She survived a near-death experience in this space before she could temporarily get a glimmer of hope for survival.
She had a vague feeling that the success of the first trial did not mean that she would be safe from now on. This might not be the end, but perhaps just the beginning of a game.
It was as if the door to a new world was slowly opening before her. She took one foot in and could no longer take it back.
The rules of the real world don't apply there, and anyone who wants to survive has to try their best.
These points were hard-earned, and although the money was very tempting to her at the moment, compared to getting rich overnight, Lorna still wanted to stay alive more.
She did not hesitate to exclude money from her plan. In addition to money, the interface in her consciousness can also be used to exchange guns, ammunition, daggers, machetes and whips. The exchange price of new guns is 100 points, but bullets also need to be exchanged, and each bullet requires 50 points.
Although Lorna hasn't figured out the rules for earning points, her total score is only 200, so she frowned.
Under the weapon is the change and improvement of bloodline, and the choice requires exactly two hundred points. She touched it with her consciousness and got a prompt: once the bloodline is selected, it cannot be changed.
Next to Change Bloodline is a mysterious pattern that says: Special Reward.
Exactly two hundred points are required to exchange this pattern. It is not displayed like the previous coins, weapons, and bloodline upgrades and changes, which means it is something unknown.
Lorna hesitated for a moment. Perhaps because of her limited points, she did not have many choices. She did not consider money for the time being. Although guns and ammunition could ensure her safety, they were too eye-catching and could not be relied upon as a backup plan to achieve a surprise victory.
She was quite curious about changing and improving her bloodline, but what excited her even more was the totem that displayed the 'special reward'.
She always felt that there seemed to be something waiting for her in the totem. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and gave up the choice of changing and improving her bloodline, and instead chose the special reward.
A prompt came to my mind: Do you want to choose the special reward?
Lorna took a deep breath and chose yes!
This was like a gamble. Maybe the special reward item was not what she wanted, or maybe it would bring her a surprise. She lay on the ground, biting her lower lip tightly.
After she confirmed that she chose 'yes', a prompt sound came from her mind, accompanied by a sharp pain. The nerves in her brain seemed to have suffered a huge blow. Even though Lorna was prepared after choosing to redeem the reward, she still almost lost consciousness.
In the face of the crisis, Lorna tightly grasped the dagger in her hand and slashed her thigh without hesitation. The tip of the knife scraped through her wet clothes and cut a hole in her flesh. The slight pain seemed insignificant compared to the severe pain in her brain, but it also allowed her to hold on and not faint.
A large amount of unfamiliar knowledge appeared in her consciousness, and her spirit seemed to have been used to the extreme. She felt her brain was hot and her eyes were black. She closed her eyes, but still felt dizzy and nauseous.
My head felt like it was about to explode. This period of time seemed particularly long. This pain was far more unbearable than the feeling of suffocation after being strangled by the doctor.
Lorna didn't know how much time had passed before he forced himself to slowly accept the reward.
At this moment, she felt even more tired than when she was in the space, after the life-and-death duel with No. 4, as if she was going to faint in the next moment. She opened her mouth wide, gasping silently, and her clothes, which were already soaked by the rain, were once again drenched with cold sweat.
She was still frightened by the headache she had suffered before, and it was a long time before she dared to suppress her fear and check the reward she had received earlier.
As soon as the thought came to her mind, the words "Nine-Character Secret Order" naturally emerged in her mind. Before she could explore it in detail, her spirit had already reached its limit like a stretched silk string, and it broke with a "bang", causing Lorna to faint instantly.
