# Chapter 693: Original Sin Divine Punishment
Jiang Nan frowned: "What exactly is the situation below the abyss? Has Crimson Queen found the resource layer core?"
Yao Hong shook her head: "Not found, but according to those who returned, the effects brought by the abyss mutation aren't static!"
"People and spirit beasts on the second layer didn't show emotional irritability, but became jealous and envious!"
"The third layer is greed—they want to take everything for themselves..."
"I don't know if the boss has heard of the seven deadly sins of humanity!"
Jiang Nan was startled—how could he not have heard of them?
"The seven deadly sins of the human heart: wrath, envy, greed, sloth, pride, lust, gluttony!"
"You're saying each of the first seven layers of the abyss corresponds to one of the deadly sins?"
"The reason everyone in Nightless City on the first layer became irritable is because of the influence of the sin of wrath?"
Yao Hong said gravely: "I'm afraid so. Even the spirit beasts are affected!"
"The exploration team from Nightless City lost about two-thirds of their members by the time they reached the fifth layer. They couldn't even make it to the eighth layer!"
"Even the purification system can't eliminate the effects. Currently, only Detoxifying Soybean can avoid the influence of the sins!"
Jiang Nan's eyes lit up: "Then can we use the little soybeans to get Crimson Queen to loosen her grip? Reach a cooperation?"
Yao Hong nodded: "That's what I was thinking too!"
"The abyss is Crimson Queen's home base. With something like this happening, she can't sit still either. If this continues, Nightless City will be ruined!"
"She probably can't suppress this matter for much longer. I estimate the abyss entrance will open within a few days!"
Jiang Nan grinned: "But before that, we need to make Black Claw completely lose Crimson Queen's trust!"
"Kick Black Claw—this bastard who occupies the toilet but won't shit—out of the game, and let our Dandelion take over!"
"Anyway, for Crimson Queen, as long as she gets the benefits, that's all that matters!"
Yao Hong's eyes sparkled. The thing that had been so difficult for her to handle before now seemed much less troublesome after Jiang Nan sorted it out!
"Does that little head of yours have another immature plan again?"
Jiang Nan grinned: "This one's very mature!"
He stayed at Dandelion headquarters for another half hour, discussing specific action details!
"By the way, have you found any leads on the Space Spirit Pearl?"
Yao Hong said disappointedly: "Still searching. Space Spirit Pearls are just too rare!"
Jiang Nan was a bit worried. He was already at Gold Peak!
He could break through to Platinum at any time, but there was still no news?
"Never mind for now. Oh, right, help me find someone!"
Saying this, he pulled out paper and pen from his alternate dimension and began frantically sketching, relying on his photographic memory!
He drew so fast it became a blur!
Three minutes later, a lifelike sketch was completed!
It showed a dirty child sitting on the ground, looking panicked and scared!
Yao Hong gasped as she looked at the drawing!
This wasn't a sketch at all—it was practically a photo!
"Wow! Are you a human camera? Is there any skill you don't have?"
Jiang Nan smiled: "Find her. Don't scare her. This dirty kid... should be quite interesting!"
Yao Hong nodded: "With Dandelion's capabilities, finding someone in Nightless City isn't difficult. Leave it to me!"
After finishing all the arrangements, Jiang Nan teleported away without a trace!
Yao Hong's palms were sweating, and she couldn't help feeling nervous. She called over her subordinates and began giving orders!
"Have the Dandelions prepare to weather Black Claw's attack!"
"No matter what, don't give in. This matter has nothing to do with Dandelion!"
The subordinate girl was stunned: "What matter?"
Yao Hong covered her face: "You'll know soon enough if nothing unexpected happens. Come here, let me whisper it to you!"
The subordinate girl blushed and leaned her ear close to Yao Hong!
"I'll tell you—in a little while, hire some people. Trustworthy ones, tight-lipped. Go and..."
...
Jiang Nan got Hans' location from Yao Hong!
He teleported to a nearby dark alley, cackling evilly!
Pulling out his Hundred-Shot Hundred-Hit Slingshot, Jiang Nan prepared to take another shot!
Looking around to make sure no one was there, he was about to draw back the leather pouch when he suddenly froze!
The slingshot could absorb the user's spiritual power to condense pellets!
Or it could also be loaded with ammunition on its own!
So couldn't he use spirit pearls as ammunition?
A Diamond-rank spirit pearl would be equivalent to the full-power strike of a Diamond-rank powerhouse!
Jiang Nan's eyes were filled with excitement—this was way better than absorbing his own spiritual power!
No matter how much he absorbed, he was still only Gold Ten!
Thinking this, he pulled out a Diamond-rank spirit pearl with extremely dense spiritual energy!
But then his face showed pain!
How much money would he lose by firing one of these?
But then he thought, with so many spirit pearls he had, firing one wouldn't be too wasteful, right?
Loading the spirit pearl, Jiang Nan drew back the rubber band!
Watch me, Jiang Nan, a talent of the generation!
Uniquely stylish!
Drawing a bow in the alley to shoot a sparrow!
The moment the slingshot was pulled back, the Diamond-rank spirit pearl suddenly emitted a dazzling spiritual light!
The spiritual energy contained within seemed to be activated, becoming incredibly violent!
Then it was fired!
"Boom!"
Two consecutive sonic booms rang out, the sounds almost overlapping!
Jiang Nan's face was pained, even tears glistening at the corners of his eyes!
(๐˃᷄﹏ಥ)つY−−＝≡☀︎
The fired Diamond-rank spirit pearl was even wrapped in dazzling electric light!
It made a sharp turn in the air and flew straight toward the building!
"Hans! You owe me a Diamond-rank spirit pearl!"
Inside the Black Claw Branch Building No. 2!
Hans was furious and felt a bit scared!
The sparrow-shot thief had no clues at all. He couldn't catch me off guard again...
Yun Xia suddenly froze: "Boss? Behind you..."
Hans shuddered violently and spun around!
All he saw was a streak of spiritual light shooting toward him at extreme speed, already right in front of him!
Hans: !!!
I knew it!
"Lightning Flash!"
At the critical moment, Hans' body erupted with dazzling electric light, forcibly shifting one meter to the left!
The pellet brushed past Hans, pierced through the building in an instant, and disappeared!
Hans' eyes were as wide as copper bells!
His face was twisted with ferocity～
He charged in the direction the spiritual light had come from!
"Looking to die! Let's see where you can run this time!"
Just as he was about to chase out!
But what Hans didn't know was that the spiritual light, after piercing through the building, made a big circle outside and came back!
It pierced through the floor at a 45° angle from below, smashing viciously upward!
It hit the target again, causing a violent explosion!
"Boom!"
The terrifying power directly shattered the entire building!
Remember, this was equivalent to a Diamond-rank powerhouse's self-destruction! A full-power strike!
Hans was blasted into the sky!
His face was flushed red, tears streaming from both eyes, his mouth wide open in a howl!
ヾ(||´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)ﾉ Ahh～
[From Hans Blake's Resentment +1000!]
[From...]
This is still a tracking missile!
Dodged the first strike but couldn't avoid the second!
This time it hit even harder than last time! The piercing pain assaulted his nerves!
"Come out! Come out! You sparrow-shooting thief! Fight me!"
At this moment, Hans completely lost his mind, unleashing several-meter-thick lightning bolts in the sky like an enraged Thunder God!
Meanwhile, Jiang Nan was stunned by the power of this strike!
This time the building was blown to pieces?
Using a Diamond-rank spirit pearl as ammunition was truly powerful!
Paying money really paid off!
He then quietly teleported away, leaving the rest for Yao Hong to handle!
Hans raged in the sky, thunder rolling. A Star Glory Four-star existence losing its temper was no joke!
It attracted the attention of countless people in Nightless City!
"Black Claw's boss got his sparrow shot again? That was twice in no time? He's really unlucky!"
"Who did this? So cruel! Why do they only target Boss Black Claw? Two buildings have been destroyed! That's a tough guy!"
A one-armed, one-eyed young man with a pink Mohawk looked terrified!
"Shh～ Don't talk nonsense! Hans isn't the first? I know of at least a dozen victims, all hit by spiritual light in the sparrow!"
The crowd immediately became interested and gathered around!
"What's going on? I haven't heard about this! Is the sparrow-shooting thief this rampant?"
"What kind of weird fetish is this? He's practically a widow-maker!"
Meller Gebo said urgently: "Sparrow-shooting thief my ass! This is Original Sin Divine Punishment!"
The crowd was shocked!
"Original Sin Divine Punishment? Don't be so mysterious!"
"Speaking of which, the Nightless City exploration team returned, and the news they brought back is that our abyss is cursed by the seven deadly sins! Each layer is affected by one sin!"
"That's right, I heard that too! The reason people in the city are irritable is because of this! The first layer is the sin of wrath!"
Meller Gebo whispered: "The reason these people got their sparrows shot by spiritual light is because they committed the sin of lust! So they were cursed by the abyss!"
"You all should be careful too. Better hold off on any... activities these days, or the Original Sin Divine Punishment light might come for you!"
People instantly became terrified. Combining this with Hans' miserable state, everyone felt endangered!
And there were many people like Meller Gebo in the city!
Using Hans' incident as a pretext, while people discussed it, the matters of the seven deadly sins, the abyss curse, and Original Sin Divine Punishment thoroughly spread throughout the city!
It spread from person to person, faster than a plague with the help of instigators!
Whether the story was true or false no longer mattered—people always fear the unknown!
They just needed a reasonable explanation!
These people were naturally hired by Yao Hong. As old hands in the underground world, even if investigated, it wouldn't trace back to Dandelion!
A silent storm was brewing invisibly in Nightless City!
By the time Jiang Nan strolled back to the Explorer Camp,
they were also discussing this matter. Seeing Jiang Nan return, Ling Feng immediately looked serious!
"Brother! Don't go wandering around lately! Something big has happened!"
"The Black Claw organization had two buildings collapse within 24 hours!"
Gong Lin said: "Really cruel! The curse of the abyss? Seven deadly sins? Original Sin Divine Punishment is too terrifying!"
"Everything is unknown. In this crazy era, anything can happen!"
Wang Ba nodded: "You better not go out. With you being such a bad kid, you've covered all seven deadly sins. If you go out on the street, Original Sin Divine Punishment might strike you with a lightning bolt!"
Jiang Nan looked terrified: "Is... is it that scary?"
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue nodded in strong agreement!
If Original Sin Divine Punishment had a spirit in heaven, it would probably come for Xiao Nan first!
After all, Xiao Nan hadn't done anything human-like!
They couldn't help but worry!
Jiang Nan: (๑◔﹏◔ิ๑)
"I'll be careful!"
But inside, he was going crazy with laughter!
Original Sin Divine Punishment coming for me?
How could that be?
I am the embodiment of Original Sin Divine Punishment—Jiang Tianfa!
What, am I going to hit myself?
