Douluo: After I Traveled Through the Book, I Became the Big Sister of Shrek

From the moment the memory was revived, all the forgotten things came back to life, space and time came to a standstill in an instant, the guards' raised spears and the snowflakes flying outside the window were all frozen in mid-air.

The deer also slowly lowered its head and felt a hard object under the tile that was trying to pierce its heart.

It was a broken moon-shaped jade pendant, which broke into two pieces to block the fatal blow for her.

Instantly, the tentacles in the abyss reached out to her again, and the familiar filthy power that swallowed and buried everything flew towards her like layers of black fog. Lu also saw very clearly that at the moment the jade pendant shattered, a familiar translucent shadow suddenly flew out of the jade pendant and merged with the black fog.

"Shen Wangshu..." she cried out.

In just a few seconds, the stagnant time resumed its flow, and the black fog condensed into a human-shaped shadow in the air - or rather, the human-shaped shadow completely became one with the black fog. He was like a huge beast, and the power he burst out instantly knocked the girl and the guards in front of him away.

At this moment, Lu Ye finally understood that Shen Wangshu had not lied to him. The moon-shaped jade pendant really contained his uncontaminated soul.

[Ding! Congratulations to the tasker for unlocking his memory in the punishment copy and obtaining the achievement: "Dream Seeker", defeating 99.9999% of the taskers in the world. ]

[As the first person to unlock the achievement in this system, you will have the privilege of controlling high-dimensional power in this world. ]

The girl's back hit the wall of the dilapidated temple. The already crumbling building suddenly began to drop mud. The twisted black mist bit off the throat of the guard beside her like a poisonous snake.

The girl coughed violently and tried to get up from the ground. Lu Ye had already taken out a long sword from the unlocked system version, looked at her, and hesitated with the sword in his hand - the pair of exceptionally bright eyes and the thin body like a stray cat made her feel sympathetic. She couldn't do anything to an eight-year-old child, even if the other party was the culprit who almost killed her.

However, the next second, the girl was ruthlessly pierced through the body by the guard's spear.

She opened her eyes wide, staring in horror and confusion at the weapon that took away her life temperature, and she never understood why until her death.

Lu also stared at the girl's gradually stiffening body, holding two broken pieces of jade pendant tightly in one hand, and didn't even notice that the sharp edge of the jade pendant cut his palm. Behind her, the black fog ruthlessly bit the ignorant bodies of the group of mortals, and the torn limbs and blood soon dyed the snow in front of the ruined temple into a scarlet color.

The snow outside was getting heavier.

On the eve of dawn, when the sky was darkest, the deer also walked out from the corpses scattered all over the ground.

From that day on, she never stayed alone in a room with anyone else at night.

This is a sick world.

Snow has been falling continuously for three years. A silent plague is spreading throughout the purgatory-like country. No one can escape the heavy snow.

Human life has become the least valuable thing in this era. To the upper class, all the poor people struggling to survive in the snow are not considered lives, but just tools for people to have fun. More and more people have developed those pus-oozing and broken tumors. They gradually mutate in pain and despair, becoming zombies that can only drool and move mechanically.

When the first person mutated into a completely insane monster, the balance of this deformed world was finally broken. The monster with tumors and eyeballs rushed into the mansions of the rich and tore everyone to pieces easily.

Lu didn't know when this cruel journey would end. She walked all the way to the north. She couldn't remember how many people and monsters she had killed. She only knew that she finally crossed the boundless snowfield and came to the imperial city.

She stood on a tall building and looked down. The entire imperial city had already been filled with plague. There was no living person on the streets, only deformed monsters one after another.

She stepped into the imperial capital step by step, the black fog around her tirelessly devouring all the monsters she could see. She forgot how she killed all the monsters in the imperial capital and walked into the palace that had been corroded by the plague. She only remembered that when she pushed open the door of the palace, there was only a monster sitting on the throne of the palace that had been dead for a long time and was rotting all over.

The monster wore a crown inlaid with gemstones on its head. Outside the palace gate was a bloody path that Lu Ye had opened up with her sword and black mist, stepping over countless monster corpses. She raised her long sword and pierced the monster's body with one blow.

At this moment, the whole world shook, and Lu only felt dizzy. A huge suction force came from behind and sucked her into it.

[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for completing the 'Punishment Dungeon'. ]

[The copy is detected to be on the verge of collapse, disconnecting the world link...]

When she opened her eyes again, she was back to a blank system space. In front of her was only a huge LCD screen, and a pair of eyes made of electronic code stared at her with a coldness that did not belong to biological beings.

"You are the first person to successfully clear the punishment dungeon." The main system said in a voice without any emotion. "I have to say, you have great potential. Number 001. According to the rules, within the scope of the system, you can get a reward."

Lu Ye still held the broken jade pendant in her hand, lowering her head in silence. She could feel that the jade pendant had completely lost its spirituality. No matter if it had once housed a soul that loved her deeply, it had now become an empty container.

Shen Wangshu, who would rather die than become a monster during his lifetime, completely merged with the black fog in order to protect her after his death.

After a while, she said, "I want the kind of power that can be used in the copy."

"The black fog is not something I control." The main system said, "If you want to control it, you need to pay a price far beyond that of an ordinary person."

"Isn't this your purpose?" Lu Ye said, "You deliberately gave me the ability to control this power, just to make me a test subject. These powers come from a higher-dimensional existence, and you stole His power, wanting to use these powers and use me to fight against Him."

The main system said: "To explain it in terms of your civilization, this is more like a cooperation. If you can meet my expectations, I can fulfill all your wishes, including resurrecting a person you want to resurrect."

Lu also clenched his hand holding the jade pendant.

After a moment, she looked up and said, "Okay."

"...I am willing to obtain this power, no matter what the cost."
