This Curse Is Just Awesome

“Hiss.”

“Huff…”

[Subjected to an attack by malignant gases: Internal strength +7]

The dry smell of cigarette smoke, mixed with the foul and disgusting smell of blood, was circulating in his lungs.

Chen Yu sat on the ground, his eyes wandering around the room, as he tried to empty his mind.

Everything that happened tonight felt like a dream to him.

Encountering a sneak attack, counterattacking, initiating an attack…

He had killed a Level 3 warrior.

And had also killed the chairman of Lewei Group.

And yet, he was only a mere Level 0.7…

Even a producer wouldn’t dare to shoot a movie like that.

“Puff…”

Gray-white smoke rose slowly.

Chen Yu turned his head to look at the two dead bodies beside him, one stacked on top of the other, and contemplated what he was going to do next.

It was very obvious.

He had gotten himself into big trouble.

There was no need to give mention to the involvement of a Level 3 warrior for the time being. Just Le Wei’s death alone would definitely cause the government, as well as Lewei Group, to gather all their might and mobilize a thorough search.

So long as he was a criminal suspect, Chen Yu knew that there was no way he could evade being called in for an interrogation session with a team of professional criminal investigators.

So, the most important thing he had to do right now was to find a way to hide the corpses, destroy all traces of evidence, and eliminate all traces that could possibly link him to this matter.

Of course, before that, he would first have to take good care of his injuries…

After he was done smoking a cigarette, Chen Yu ate everything, from the cigarette stub to the slightest bit of ash, leaving no trace behind.

Then he looked at his fractured left arm and let out a deep sigh.

[Bone fractured: Health +3; Qi and blood +78]

[Bone fractured: Health +1; Qi and blood +44]

[Bone fractured: Health…]

His initial speculations about the [Curse] proved to be correct.

There was a limit to how much reversal the [Curse] could do.

After his body suffered “irreversible” damage, no matter how much Qi and blood were restored, it wouldn’t do him much good.

It was like his bone fracture now.

Two of his bones were broken, and without a human’s touch to fix him up through artificial means, it was impossible for him to automatically recover…

Grabbing his twisted left arm, Chen Yu gently shook it.

“Woo!”

He felt a sharp pain that was so heart-piercing that it almost caused his lungs to spasm.

“Holy crap.”

“This is killing me!”

Chen Yu was so frustrated that he cursed and swore without the slightest degree of restraint. Tearing off a section of his sleeve, he rolled it into a bundle and snugly bit into the ball. Then, with trembling hands, he took out the dagger that he always carried with him wherever he went.

“D*mn!”

“******…”

Profanities ceaselessly streamed out of his mouth as he clutched the dagger tightly and placed the sharp pointed edge of the blade against the fractured part of his left arm.

“Hoo…”

“Ha…”

“Hoo…”

“Woo!”

He pressed down on the knife, and the shaking tip of the blade pierced through and penetrated his skin.

A stream of crimson blood started to ooze out of the wound.

“Hmph…”

He bit down on the bundle of cloth very relentlessly and sliced through the skin with the edge of the blade pointing downward.

And following the gruesome sound of flesh being sliced, many blood vessels were cut and severed, layers of muscle fibers were segregated, patches of fats were broken apart…

Blood was gushing out in unstoppable waves and was no longer able to hide the pale white bones deep inside his body.

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +348]

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +466]

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +219…]

He had barely sliced through the tissue deep underneath, but the tissue at the front of his arm was already healing rapidly.

“Crap!”

Veins popped out of the sides of Chen Yu’s forehead as he spat out the rag he was biting on. He stuck his head forward and prodded his tongue deep between the separated layers of flesh and blood to stop the muscles from healing.

Then he started to slice much faster with his knife.

“Whoosh-whoosh…”

In less than two seconds, a fifteen-centimeter, bone-deep stab wound appeared.

“Dang.”

Throwing away the dagger, Chen Yu stuck his entire right hand deep into the bloody flesh while the wound was still heeling. Pinching his broken bones, he placed the two ends of the bones together.

“Howl-howl…”

“Howl-howl-howl…”

It was incredibly painful, causing Chen Yu’s breathing to quicken and both his eyes to turn red.

Beads of perspiration, as big as beans, were rolling down his face.

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +583]

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +710]

Retracting his tongue, Chen Yu trembled all over as he let out a deep roar from his throat, one that sounded like the growl of a beast.

“D*mn…”

“Umm-umm-umm…”

“D*mn****!”

“Umm…”

The struggle against his own “blood” and “flesh” lasted for half a minute.

When his fingers felt that the fractured bones had fused with each other, he immediately withdrew his hand.

“Pfft-tsk.”

A stream of deep red blood spurted out the moment he withdrew his hand.

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +883]

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +650]

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +447]

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +325]

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +255…]

Time passed, minute by minute, second by second.

The electronic synthetic sound echoing in his mind gradually faded out.

When the “added” Qi and blood finally decreased to a single-digit figure, the wound on Chen Yu’s left arm also disappeared.

Wiping away the perspiration and blood on his face, he shook his left arm about to test its functionality…

No problem at all!

“OK.”

Putting his mind at ease, Chen Yu picked up the dagger and was prepared to perform the same procedure to his rib bone. But it was only at that time did he come to realize that the bone was just cracked and wasn’t fractured.

Now, it had also healed.

With a deep breath, he put away his dagger and looked at the blood on the ground with lingering fear.

Then, he manipulated the internal strength in his body and released it to evaporate the blood that had oozed out of him earlier.

“Zzz-zzz-zzz…”

This operation required a sizable amount of internal strength.

An ordinary Level 2 warrior might not have even lasted more than half a minute.

But Chen Yu’s internal strength was “unlimited,” which also meant that he could utilize it as much as he pleased…

He cleared away all traces that he had been there.

Then he moved on to evaporating all the blood from the remaining five corpses, leaving only red stains all over the ground.

This was all that remained after all the blood had evaporated.

There were platelets, white blood cells, red blood cells, etc.

He gathered all of these remnants and put them away properly. Next, Chen Yu dragged out the other three corpses and then carried them all on his back, along with the dead bodies of Le Wei and the Level 3 Warrior.

He was really thankful that the walls, floor, and ceiling of this room were all extremely smooth.

Otherwise, clearing all the “blood sludge” would have been impossible…

The five corpses weighed over 400 kilograms in total.

But for Chen Yu with his current strength, it was just a little heavy.

Carrying the five corpses, he ran quickly, taking a mostly deserted route, and headed to the depths of the Foreign Realm.

Within a short time, he arrived at the location where Zhang Qing’s corpse was.

Chen Yu merely cast a fleeting glance at it. Then, not the least bit interested in it, he continued running forward.

It was only when he reached a location that he deemed deep enough that he unloaded the five corpses from his back.

The concentration of radiation here was so terrifyingly high that even the Geiger counter was unable to measure it.

Chen Yu felt that there wouldn’t be any other “explorers” so desperate enough to want to venture all the way here and, in passing, happen to find the corpses he had hidden in one of the corners.

Then, he also brought the four other corpses of Zhang Qing’s team here and cleared all traces of blood along the way.

Chen Yu even made it a point to remove the sofa in the metal room, as it had been stained with blood.

It was almost six hours of hard labor.

After all this was accomplished, he thoroughly checked through everything. Inside out, back and forth, he checked everything about seven to eight times just to ensure there wasn’t anything to link him to the crime. Then he put on his clean protective suit and left the Foreign Realm.

In terms of appearance, he didn’t look any different from the night before.

There was just one less Tang knife on him, that was all…

Entering the bathing cubicle, he scrubbed himself clean of all his “sins.” Then, with a “dignified and aboveboard” poise, he walked out of the Portal Square, acting as if nothing had happened.

The morning breeze was exceptionally cool and refreshing.

It blew against him in such a way that even the stench of blood on his body was undetectable.

He took out a cigarette and lit it.

Then he casually leaned against a tree and turned around to look at Portal Square as he slowly exhaled cigarette smoke.

“… such a terrible plot, isn’t it?”

…..
