Chapter 6, The Stinger of the World, Stinging the World
When the triangular prism finally takes shape, the originally translucent light green jade texture has changed, transforming into a silver-white, light blue, and pale gold prism. Each edge remains translucent, with what appears to be a semi-solid liquid flowing within. Under the candlelight, it sparkles brilliantly.
If the previous triangular spike resembled a work of art without practical function, now the artwork remains, yet it has acquired an air of mystery
Tai Shi Lan did not jump down by himself
If someone were present at this moment to witness such a miraculous restoration of the original object, they would surely exclaim in astonishment. At this moment, if Taishi Lan were to look down at his own palm, he too might be taken aback.
The triangular thorn that had returned to its original state did not restore itself to its previous characteristics. Inside the triangular thorn, one could visibly see streams of semi-congealed liquid flowing, all of which were a translucent green. Among these green liquids, a fine thread of blood appeared, weaving through the green liquid and separating it. The colors of those liquids gradually changed, presenting three hues: silvery white, pale blue, and golden, extremely faint yet distinctly clear.

At this moment, the woman lay on the ground, barely breathing. She slowly walked over. As soon as she crouched down, her brow furrowed.
Tai Shilan knelt partially beside Tai Shilan, frowning as he stared at the smile at the corner of her lips, always feeling that this smile was full of calculation and quite strange
At this moment, Tai Shilan experienced a moment of clarity, though it cannot be said in such detail; there are some matters she is not entirely clear about, but Tai Shilan understood the general idea.
Tai Shi Lan remained indoors
Her fingers paused at the familiar brow, like a breeze sweeping across the still surface of a lake
The vivid and shocking scene from earlier, which I once thought I would never forget in my lifetime, now suddenly feels somewhat hazy and blurred. It is as if a sheet of white paper filled with black characters is slowly sinking into the lake of memory, becoming stained, softened, and submerged, transforming into a series of intertwined traces.
But what can a dead person scheme against others
"Do not... https://www.hetushuc.com..." A faint voice of restraint emerged, causing Tai Shi Lan's hand to abruptly halt, just three centimeters away from Tai Shi Lan's head
Tai Shi Lan cast a glance, then immediately turned his gaze away, feeling a churn in his stomach
With a bang, she burst through the door, and at that moment of rushing out, she suddenly felt a dizziness in her head
After fainting and waking up again, she found herself standing in the garden, her expression dazed
Tai Shilan let out a soft "uh" and took a few breaths, her gaze shifting to the colorful triangular dagger in Tai Shilan's hand. Her eyes suddenly brightened as she murmured, "... so that's how it is ... you ... you ..." She struggled to extend her hand, "Do you want the ancestral treasure of the Tai family ..."
From Tai Shilan's fragmented narration, Tai Shilan gradually understood that the human experience of pain consists of three aspects: one pain leads to forgetfulness, another reveals the truth, and a third brings the soul back to life. Pain pierces the heart's illusions, pierces the world's superficiality, and pierces the impermanence of life and death
She did not open her eyes again
"This is a gift for you." Tai Shilan slowly closed her skirt and shut her eyes, "I no longer seek your help for revenge... they will have their own retribution... I only ask one thing of you, there is a bottle of medicine in my inner pocket, the purple jade bottle... it is a secret medicine I brought back from the palace, apply it within an hour after my death... it will ensure my appearance remains as if alive... I want to die in a clear and refreshing manner..."
After a long time of contemplation, she finally recalled what had just happened. She felt quite satisfied, and the earlier sense of shock had dissipated. She slowly walked back.
Help me take revenge
The last to escape was Tai Shizhu. Before she left, she turned back for a glance. Seeing Tai Shilan motionless on the ground, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, her lips curling up.
Tai Shi Lan was half-squatting, gripping the three-edged thorn, completely motionless
Forgetting leads to temporary amnesia, with the duration of forgetfulness determined by the depth of intoxication; truth-telling, as the name suggests, involves those who are caught in the moment being controlled mentally, revealing the truth and - images - books. Returning the soul does not literally bring someone back to life, but it can allow a brief moment of clarity, granting a fleeting moment of existence.
All three effects are short-term, yet they are crucial. Whether it is instantly erasing memories, revealing the truth in a moment, or ensuring short-term survival, each can play a vital role at critical times. If the people and matters involved are significant enough, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they could disrupt the hearts of the world. Moreover, it is said that the ability of the刺 (刺) will become increasingly bizarre as its owner's power grows. If it encounters a master of divine destiny, it could even lead to calamities that could annihilate the world.
There is no good to be gained from a zombie rising; let's deal with it after knocking it out.
Before her death, Tai Shilan also wanted to retrieve this item, which must be very important
At the moment before jumping down, she was searching for a brick, trying to aim, intending to take a shot and hit Tai Shizhu in the head.
= = .
Tai Shi Lan shook her head, dispelling the strange thoughts from her mind. She reached out and slowly tidied up Tai Shi Lan's messy hair.
In the world, there are thorns, and these thorns are called "human realm"
Strangely, she forgot about the last appearance of Tai Shilan
As soon as the powder was sprinkled, her expression turned cold
She is not interested
Thus, the saying "a common man is guilty for possessing a treasure" holds true; this clan was thereafter engulfed in a storm of blood and strife, suffering continuous calamities, ultimately leading to their extermination. The human刺 was also plundered by the Emperor of the Southern Qi, and after several twists and turns, it ended up in the hands of the Tai family
Tai Shilan choked and began to cough
This truly does not seem like a good start
Tai Shilan's eyes rolled back in exasperation, and she was so infuriated by Taishi Lan's resolute and unreasonable demeanor that she choked momentarily, taking a long time to regain her composure. After a while, she spoke in a fragmented manner, "... I won't live much longer... Don't you want to hear a secret..."
First, I am alone and vulnerable, while your enemies are numerous and powerful; I do not seek trouble. Second, your debauchery and shamelessness have led to your sisters plotting against you. If you engage in wrongdoing yet cannot protect yourself, you deserve to die.
Tai Shilan suddenly opened her eyes
It is for the world and books
Resurrected!
I don't want to. " Tai Shi Lan said expressionlessly
Although these young ladies are ruthless, it is their first time committing murder in the dead of night. They are already like startled birds. At this moment, when someone suddenly descends like a divine soldier, they mistakenly believe they have encountered a thief. In their panic, they no longer care about killing and hurriedly flee through the door.
Tai Shi Lan gently patted her face, and seeing her remain motionless, he couldn't help but sigh. In the blink of an eye, he noticed the broken triangular spike in the corner of the wall, stirring something within him
Let her be buried with it
Disrupting hearts, toppling the world, controlling life and death
Tai Shi Lan's finger suddenly pressed down on a protrusion, and with a click, the angular body unexpectedly rotated, revealing a golden angular tip. This three-edged spike was, astonishingly, capable of movement
With a bang, Tai Shilan pushed open the half window and fell into the room. Before falling, she only had time to grab a handful of wall dust and wipe it on her face
A night-blooming jasmine on the table silently dropped a crystal-like dewdrop, resembling a tear
The jade three-edged thorn has already turned into a pile of fragments, making it quite difficult to pick up. However, this is not a problem for Taishi Lan, as her hand slowly covers the three-edged thorn.
"Human? Ghost?" Tai Shilan stared at Tai Shilan, "Do you have unfinished business to say your last words? Forget it, I am not a savior"
"Alright." Tai Shilan found this request quite reasonable and immediately agreed
I just checked her breathing; she was clearly dead, yet in the blink of an eye, she opened her eyes again
On this night, I first encountered the person from another world who is mysteriously connected to me, only to bid farewell forever, witnessing her death with my own eyes, and seeing that face, so similar to my own, fall into eternal slumber
Those who love to hear secrets often end up becoming secrets themselves
But at the moment she was about to strike, she suddenly felt a strong wind behind her, and then her body tilted, causing her to fall from the wall.
"I won't do it." Tai Shi Lan decisively refused
Several women who were killing indoors were startled by the sudden loud noise and simultaneously released their grip. Turning their heads, they saw a short-haired person tumble in through the window, their face obscured in darkness, making it impossible to discern their features, except for a pair of narrow, sharp eyes that appeared both familiar and unfamiliar.
Just as she did not wish to see that familiar face smiling seductively, she also did not want to witness that face turning pale, which made her feel utterly uncomfortable, as if her soul were leaving her body, watching herself being killed
Well... her complexion gradually darkened, and with a helpless bitter smile, she said, "So it turns out... what it needs is the blood of a direct female descendant of the Tai family... I never expected that in the end, it would actually fulfill you... The origin of this thing... you will know in the future... It is called 'the human world'...
Tai Shi Lan weighed the three-edged dagger in the palm of his hand, and in surprise, he asked, "Isn't this mine?"
Tai Shilan slowly stood up and found the small bottle in the drawer of the cabinet. The bottle contained a grayish-white powder, which appeared unremarkable. Following Tai Shilan's instructions, she sprinkled the powder into the wound on her neck
The moisture outside the window has become heavier, glistening on the tips of the lush green leaves, and dawn is approaching
The triangular刺 held in hand has a particularly unique texture; the silvery white is slightly cool, the light blue is somewhat warm, while the golden one evokes an indescribable strange sensation, as if it possesses a special allure that makes one's heart race.
It is like seeing another version of oneself, desolate until the end on the path of life
Beneath the palm, the triangular刺 seems to soften, deform, and then reorganize... and then recondense
"I am not... born shameless..." Tai Shilan looked up at Taishi Lan, two lines of clear tears slowly flowing down her face, "... with my background, how could this be possible... shamelessness... it was they who drugged me... if I do not engage in nightly encounters, I suffer unbearable pain all over... in my current state, I am worse than dead, if you don't believe it, look..." She trembled as she pulled apart her lower garment. I suffer unbearable pain all over if I do not engage in nightly encounters... in my current state, I am worse than dead, if you don't believe it, look..." She trembled as she pulled apart her lower garment.
Tai Shilan's lips curled slightly, and she let out a soft sigh
In modern times, she often restores various objects, all of which are cloned exactly as they were, and such a situation has never occurred before
You have taken the heirloom passed down through the Tai family
The Tai family is indeed a descendant of this clan, merely having changed their name. In the past, the members of this clan nourished snakes with blood, as blood served as the catalyst for awakening the stings of the human world. Many years later, this secret was buried, and even the Tai family was unaware of it
Tai Shilan's hand trembled slightly, and the golden pointed edge accidentally pricked the back of Tai Shilan's hand
Without saying a word, Tai Shilan picked up a candlestick from the ground and struck it down towards Tai Shilan.
"Human Realm" originates from the long-ago tribe of the "Longchi" people, who are skilled in the art of toxic medicine and revere an exotic dragon as their totem. This so-called "exotic dragon" is actually a rare and precious venomous snake that they worship. The skin, venom, and saliva of this snake each possess unique and extraordinary toxic effects. The members of this tribe have devoted their efforts over generations to research and finally succeeded in concocting three types of medicines with the effects of "Forgetfulness, Truth Revelation, and Soul Return." They have also gathered rare materials from heaven to create the human刺 using these three medicines. The skin, venom, and saliva of this snake each possess unique and extraordinary toxic effects.

The time for resurrection is ultimately limited, and Tai Shilan's complexion quickly faded. Suddenly, she took a deep breath and tightly grasped Tai Shilan's hand.
A faint sorrow, at this moment of March.
"Here you go." She casually tossed the triangular spike back at Tai Shilan and turned to leave
Tai Shilan's neck was twisted in an eerie manner, at such an angle... the vitality had completely vanished
Tai Shi Lan raised his hand and, with a glance, saw the completely transformed triangular thorn, and he also let out a sound of surprise.
But who knows what the outcome will be
Tai Shi Lan glanced at the "Human Needle" in her hand. She had previously held it out of affection, but now that she understood its origins, her interest had diminished significantly
She is most aware that Tai Shilan's throat bone has been broken, and there is no hope of recovery; no one can save her now
Tai Shilan was taken aback, murmuring and gasping, "Why..."
"Human world ... ... " Taishi Lan repeated it once more, feeling that this name, though simple in characters, carries profound meaning. Reading it evokes endless reflections, stirring a subtle sense of alarm in the heart
