Terraria: Cruel World Legends

After coming out of the joy of successfully entering the house, Shen Yue quickly looked around and did not find the figure of the "prey" in the living room.

"Where did my Golden Source Soul go?" Shen Yue murmured, and then she began to walk lightly, making almost no sound, and was extremely cautious.

Hehe, I must not alarm the prey... Shen Yue thought... At this moment, she suddenly smelled a fragrance she had never smelled before.

Turning his head to look at the source of the smell, Shen Yue discovered that it was a half-open rectangular box placed on the table. Many long and thin skewers were placed in it. The aroma was emanating from the burnt blocks at one end of these skewers.

This is the barbecue that Elias just packed up and took away.

What is this... Shen Yue thought to herself, and then slowly walked towards the box of "unknown objects"...

"Hey..." After seeing clearly what this thing was, Shen Yue seemed to remember something, "Isn't this... a kind of food of the Terrans that is often reported on TV?"

Thinking of this, Shen Yue chuckled and rubbed his hands at the same time. Then he opened the box quietly, picked up the largest skewer of barbecue, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, the aroma was everywhere.

"Hehe, I want to see what the food I saw on TV tastes like..." Shen Yue murmured.

……

In the bathroom, Elias, who was taking a shower, suddenly heard a scream of "Wow", which made him stunned, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking it was probably the noise outside.

At this time, it was almost time for him to take a bath. He turned off the faucet and then picked up the towel to wipe his body...

"Wait..." Elias suddenly noticed something. The scream just now didn't seem to come from outside.

It seems to be coming from the living room here... ?

"What is this... a thief?" Elias curled his lips, quickly put on his clothes, walked out of the bathroom quickly, picked up Hell's Descent in the connected bedroom, and then quickly walked to the living room.

……

Then Elias saw a familiar-looking purple-haired girl curled up on the ground with a look of pain on her face.

"Hiss, hiss, wahhhhhhhhhhh!!" Shen Yue screamed... but soon, she noticed the "familiar" figure appeared in front of her, so she forced herself to stand up, gasping for breath.

"Hiss...you...I say, what kind of poison is this!!" Shen Yue pointed angrily at the half-bitten kebab thrown on the ground.

On the box containing the barbecue, three large characters with red background and flame borders are particularly eye-catching:

【Purgatory Spicy】

“……” Elias just stood there calmly. Soon, he pulled out one hand, pinched his face, and found it a little painful.

"Hiss... That's not right..." Elias frowned, then he slowly walked towards Shen Yue, who was about to faint from the spicy taste, and stretched out a hand to pinch her face. It was soft and felt very good to the touch.

"Hiss... It's a real person... It's not my illusion..." Elias continued to mutter, then he calmly stepped back a few steps, all the while staring at Shen Yue.

"Well... let's not talk about anything else for now. This poison of yours is really going to kill me. Is there any antidote?" Shen Yue said while panting. After taking a sip of the spicy Purgatory, her mouth was now full of burning sensation.

Elias silently stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, then he let out a long breath. Then he slowly walked past Shen Yue and checked the door, but found no signs that the door lock had been damaged.

Then Elias turned to Shen Yue, who was just putting a cup of warm water placed on the water table into his mouth... and then spit it out.

"Hiss, ahhhh, it hurts so much!!" Shen Yue obviously didn't know what "spicy" was.

"…Answer my question…" Elias suddenly asked, "This is the second time I've found you following me. What's your purpose?"

"Hiss, originally... I was planning to kill you and suck away your Golden Source Soul, but since your Golden Source Soul can continuously regenerate, I don't plan to do that, hiss..." Shen Yue was telling the truth.

Elias didn't pay attention to this curious answer. He just held his forehead and continued to speak: "...How did you get in?"

“It’s [Warp]…Ahhhhh! This is so uncomfortable!!”

"Shit, a nerve..."

Elias cursed inwardly, then with a cold face, he quickly walked to the refrigerator, opened it and took out a bottle of milk to relieve the spiciness, and threw it to Shen Yue who was about to bang his head against the wall.

"Now, get out." Elias said, and he quickly walked over to open the door and made a "please go" gesture.

"Hiss, is this the antidote?" Shen Yue said, then she opened her mouth, quickly opened the milk and splashed it on her face...only a small part of it was actually drunk.

…After drinking some milk, the spicy sensation was obviously relieved a lot. Shen Yue quickly came to her senses and panted softly: "Ha, much better…"

"Well, now, please?" After saying that, Elias turned his face slightly and motioned her to leave the house.

"Oh, wait, my Jinyuanpo, we finally get to meet each other, please let me stay a little longer..." As he said that, Shen Yue briskly approached Elias who was standing at the door.

Elias raised Hell with one hand and said, "Leave now. I'll give you some money and let you go to a mental hospital. How about that?"

"Wait, what a mess... Never mind, I'll just get straight to the point and tell you what I want to do with you now." Shen Yue waved her hands, then looked at Elias with excitement, her pair of crystal eyes emitting a bright glow.

"Hehe, I want you to be my golden slave!" Shen Yue laughed, put his hands on his waist, raised his head, and said to Elias with a proud look on his face.

"Golden Source Soul Slave, or Golden Slave for short!"

……

Elias carried a purple-haired girl out of the house, then he walked back and slammed the door shut.

"Hey!" Shen Yue, who was dragged out, quickly turned around and knocked on the door. "You haven't answered me yet. Do you want to be my gold slave?"

Elias did not answer, but slowly said, "I advise you not to play any more tricks, otherwise I have a friend who can make you go to a mental hospital from any place in an instant, or make you [stop] permanently."

"Okay, okay, I won't warp in anymore. See you the next day, my Jin Yuan Po."

"...Go away." Elias said finally, not paying attention to the second half of Shen Yue's words.

"Oh, okay, okay." Shen Yue chuckled, and then said nothing more.

……

Inside the house, Elias sighed and quickly sorted out his thoughts. He decided not to think about the girl anymore. Then he looked at the half-skewered barbecue and the milk spilled on the ground.

"Shit..." Elias cursed inwardly through gritted teeth.

...After cleaning up quickly, Elias picked up a skewer of barbecue and started eating. His expression was normal, not affected by the spiciness of the purgatory at all.

"It's better to use [Scarlet Lava]." Elias murmured.

The so-called "Crimson Lava" is a cocktail with a unique flavor, which is spicy... Of course, it is spicy enough to kill half of a normal person's life.

...Soon, Elias finished eating the barbecue, and after washing up, he walked into the bedroom, put down Hell's Coming, and finally lay down on the bed.

"I hope I won't encounter that nerve again tomorrow..." Elias murmured, and then he slowly closed his eyes.

"After that, I have to see Yu Yuling, whose mental state is not stable, every day... It's already bad enough."
