Chapter 1594: Chapter 938: Social Death
A moment later, when they saw the box of soda that Yang Xiao placed on the ground, the Chamber of Commerce duo was dumbfounded, and even the well-informed Jiang Qingluan was momentarily taken aback.
"Let’s verify the goods." Yang Xiao pulled a bottle from the box and tossed it to the Sand Woman, after all, she was the successful bidder, one bottle for 300,000, no deception for the young or old.
Feeling the cool touch in her palm, the Sand Woman was once again shocked, but the next second she quickly popped the lid open and gulped down a big mouthful until the fizz stopped her and she burped loudly, then laughed heartily: "Refreshing! I never thought I’d get to drink ice-cold soda in this secret realm, enough to brag about for a lifetime!"
The Sand Woman dragged the box of soda to her feet, pulled out a few bottles, and tossed them to the others present, "Everyone gets a share, don’t be shy, it’s on me!"
"Number 2, I’ll pay you after we get out, at the price we agreed on before, thanks for letting us have this treat here!" Holding up the soda bottle, the Sand Woman chugged another big sip, finishing off a glass bottle of soda in a few gulps, her face showing a satisfied smile.
At this moment, everyone was infected by Sand Woman’s boldness. Having just experienced a life-and-death battle, it was only now that everyone truly relaxed.
"Let’s celebrate, brothers, here’s to us, cheers!" The Chamber of Commerce man raised his soda bottle, letting out a joyful cheer.
Indeed, Yang Xiao began to like these two from the Chamber of Commerce. Money didn’t matter, as long as everyone was happy. Anyway, for someone of Yang Xiao’s status, money had already lost its meaning, he wasn’t short of money.
The reason for his obsession with money was more because he was once scared of being poor. Sure, he made a lot of money, but hardly spent any on himself. Making money had become more like a psychological ailment for him.
Such a good atmosphere wouldn’t be complete without alcohol, so in a good mood, Yang Xiao thought of returning to the Mirror World to grab a few crates of beer and some snacks like duck neck, fried chicken, and fries to spice things up.
But this time, just as he summoned the Soul-Capturing Mirror, a strange change occurred. Yang Xiao suddenly saw his left hand holding the mirror flicker inexplicably, as if it was a reflection from the mirror, but the source of the reflection wasn’t the mirror in his hand, it was his hand.
The next second, without moving his wrist, his left hand inexplicably flipped over, turning palm up and back down, and he felt no pain or any strange sensation, it all happened so vividly.
Yang Xiao reacted quickly, realizing something was wrong, he instinctively tried to retract the Soul-Capturing Mirror into the Drama Robe, to suppress the backlash with Good Sister, but unfortunately, he couldn’t do it, the mirror couldn’t be retracted at all.
He had to shake his hand and throw the Soul-Capturing Mirror away, quickly retreating at the same time.
But he never expected this was just the beginning. In the next 30 seconds, his body went through a seemingly reassembly process, hands and feet flipping were minor issues, parts of his body seemed to cave in, as if inexplicably hollowed out, which was visually striking.
Despite being the person involved, Yang Xiao couldn’t feel any of this, the sunken or missing parts of his body still had sensation.
For example, a section of Yang Xiao’s left forearm disappeared, but his upside-down left hand was still there, able to lift through arm muscles, but giving others the impression more like a magic show, a lone hand floating in midair.
If a knife were to cut his left hand now, Yang Xiao would still feel the pain, the connection between him and his hand wasn’t severed, just a visual effect.
But if a knife were to cut through the missing arm segment, the void between the lone left hand and the remaining upper arm, there would be no obstruction, nor any pain.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded until they realized Yang Xiao was experiencing backlash from a magic artifact, most likely caused by the space-type artifact on him.
"How are you?"
Jiang Qingluan attempted to approach Yang Xiao, but was immediately stopped by him, "Don’t come near! Stay away!"
These people couldn’t help much, and Yang Xiao worried they might get dragged into it.
The out-of-control space-type artifact was terrifying, and he had a feeling that if the situation worsened, there was a chance of bizarrely merging those around him with himself.
Only now did Yang Xiao truly understand how much risk the Yi Sect people took when rescuing Nalan Shuo, as that was also a near out-of-control space-type artifact.
During this time, Yang Xiao hadn’t stopped thinking of ways to save himself, but he couldn’t, his body was completely messed up, he couldn’t even take out the Ghost Lantern.
Good Sister didn’t come to his rescue either, unsure whether she couldn’t or simply didn’t want to.
Yang Xiao admitted that he hadn’t been behaving well recently, getting a little cocky each time his power increased and having less respect for Good Sister than before.
But now he knew he was wrong, fervently apologizing and begging Good Sister in his heart.
"Take this!" The next second, Jiang Qingluan, who had already moved ten meters away, tossed over a medicine pill, and without thinking, Yang Xiao swallowed it.
No matter what, things couldn’t get any worse than now, he never expected the backlash from the Soul-Capturing Mirror to come so quickly and intensely.
It was all that Japanese woman’s fault. At the last moment, Yang Xiao, to quickly escape her collapsing "Deep Sea World," forced a "breach" with the Soul-Capturing Mirror, which was inherently a near out-of-control space-type artifact, Yang Xiao sensed it then, that the Soul-Capturing Mirror was affected.
