Chapter 3656: Ghosts Everywhere (28)
No matter how much the mother nagged, Ning Shu stared at the wall with an expressionless face. She didn’t seem to hear a word, showing no reaction to external stimuli.
Ning Shu thought to herself, ‘The nagging is exactly the same as it was in the illusion.’
In the entrustor’s heart, her mother was a nag. The mirage stone had harvested those memories, which was why the woman in the illusions behaved just like her mother.
The constant blending of truth and lies was what made the illusions so effective at trapping people.
Combined with the horrific content, the chance of its victim escaping was practically zero. Ning Shu suspected those other people might truly never wake up.
Their brain tissue would be damaged, their spirits broken, and eventually, they would die.
Tests on the comatose victims showed abnormally high brain activity, yet they remained unresponsive.
No energy could last forever. Such high activity was damaging their brains. Once their bodies and spirits collapsed, even their desire to wake up would be useless.
It seemed she had obtained a very powerful item.
Ning Shu gave a secret grin.
Her mother continued to prattle in her ear until her father finally dragged her away. If he hadn’t, she would have stayed by Ning Shu’s side crying and nagging forever.
“Task complete. Do you wish to leave the task world?” 2333’s voice echoed in Ning Shu’s head.
Ning Shu lay back on the bed and closed her eyes as if going to sleep. In her mind, she replied, “Leave.”
Her vision blurred, and she suddenly appeared in her system space. The first thing she saw was the pool, now filled with fish and lotuses.
Ning Shu reached out to splash some water. She took the fish she had bought previously and emptied them into the pool, along with several pieces of ordinance stone.
As soon as the new creatures entered the water, the two types of fish began to fight, leaping and splashing in the pool.
The fresh scent of lotuses wafted through the space, making her feel refreshed. The area was filled with spiritual energy, as the pool was now filled with spiritual energy-infused water.
In such a superior environment, she hoped these fish would grow into formidable pets.
Ning Shu looked around but didn’t see the mirage stone. “Where is the stone?”
“Oh, I put it away. The black hole wanted to merge with it, and I was afraid it would devour the world stone, so I secured it first. Do you want it now?” 2333 explained.
“In a moment,” Ning Shu said. “Let me absorb the soul power first.”
She sat cross-legged on the sofa and began to absorb the soul power. After a while, she finished the process and frowned. “There’s so little soul power this time.”
“The amount the entrustor could offer was already limited. Most of her soul power was exhausted while she was trapped in the illusions,” 2333 said. “Compared to the world stone, this tiny bit of soul power is nothing.”
Ning Shu just gave a hum and opened her attribute panel to see what the task details were. She hadn’t received a storyline or a specific wish, and the entrustor even had multiple names.

Entrustor Tan Yuxin’s wish fulfilled: Escape the endless torture.
Completion Rate: 100%.
Rewards: 10 point tokens, 10 attribute points, 80% of soul power, 7,000 faith points (including accumulation from previous worlds.).
Even though she had received 80% of the entrustor’s soul power, it felt like a very small amount. The percentage was high, but the total volume was low.
Fortunately, all that torture had resulted in a world stone. A gain was better than nothing.
What bothered her was that she hadn’t obtained a world origin.
It felt like it had been a long time since she had gotten one, aside from two items that she wasn’t even sure were world origins yet. Whether they would even hatch was still up in the air.
Ning Shu let out a long sigh. There was a shadow looming over her heart—she was a fugitive. If she ran into the adjudicator, she would likely be obliterated.
The thought of being shot dead felt like having a massive blade hanging over her neck, ready to drop at any moment. It was a harrowing sensation.
If Tai Shu was truly determined to hunt her down, she was basically just cattle waiting for the slaughter.
Son of a… she had nothing to defend herself with. Not a single defensive tool.
She was too frustrated to even explain.
Ning Shu distributed her attribute points.
