The King of Curses
Chapter 160 The conspiracy that gradually connected
Chapter 160 The conspiracy that gradually connected
…This is really surprising.
“Is it related to what happened here?”
Cen Dongsheng didn’t even hide the affairs of his apprentice, let alone hide other issues.
The sisters knew all about the strange facial mask that was circulating among high school girls. The provider and manufacturer of the mask was a doctor from a municipal hospital who cultivated a monster called Corpse Radish to obtain the raw materials. Also, the culprit was the sorcerer Ke Junchen who turned into a ghost.
“Is Ke Junchen related to the organization that worships the ‘Jingshan Man-worm’?”
“Although I didn’t reveal my real name. Later, I thought about the place where the incident first happened on the day you called me, and I became more and more convinced of the connection between the two.”
“‘In the beginning’…”
The beginning of the series of events was naturally the attack in the girls’ dormitory.
The incident was temporarily suppressed by Tianhai University. In total, one school worker died, several people were sent to the hospital in a coma, a senior girl was missing, and most of the remaining students were frightened.
Song Yutang also told him that the dormitory buildings are now open to the public, with only the corridor that was damaged by the female-faced snake still under renovation.
“Do you remember where this store is located?”
“Near Tiannan University of Technology…”
Having said that, Cen Dongsheng naturally understood.
“I see.”
Tiannan University of Technology is considered to be a key university in Tianhai City second only to Tianhai University and is quite famous.
“Someone is targeting these colleges and universities…?”
“I’m afraid he wants to spread something among the college students.”
The events on Cen Dongsheng’s side and the events on Sister Zhizhen’s side were connected in some way.
“It would be even better if we could determine Ke Junchen’s purpose.”
“I’ll keep an eye on it.”
Cen Dongsheng nodded.
Originally it was just a task for the apprentice to practice, but I didn’t expect that there were so many things involved behind the scenes, and it was really impossible for me to just sit back and do nothing.
This is not a big problem, Yutang will be very happy about it.
At this time, Cen Dongsheng noticed that there was an unusual meaning in Sister Qingyan’s expression, and she was thinking.
After exchanging glances with her brother, she spoke slowly.
“This matter may also have something to do with me.”
“Oh?”
An Zhizhen held her chin and smiled.
“That’s quite unusual.”
Yi Qingyan ignored her and just looked at Cen Dongsheng.
“Brother, do you remember the girl who followed me before?”
“Oh, I followed you secretly and kept watching you and wouldn’t let you go.”
Cen Dongsheng nodded.
“Oh, a stalker?” Sister Zhizhen covered her lips with her hands, looking surprised. “Xiao Qingyan would actually go easy on such a pervert?”
“She… didn’t have any bad intentions.” The girl tilted her head, “She didn’t interfere with my life and kept her distance from me.”
“In my opinion, that kid’s attitude towards Qingyan is more like… a crazy fan, right? Maybe it’s even better, after all, he won’t rush over to disturb us.”
Cen Dongsheng said.
“You know why she became like this, right?”
Yi Qingyan seemed to be troubled. “Maybe it’s because I saved her life.”
She began to recount her recent experiences.
“I’ve noticed that recently, a kind of psychic game has become popular among high school students, especially girls.”
Hearing this beginning, Cen Dongsheng couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Cults, psychic games… too familiar, really too familiar. For him, a former operations commissioner of the ruling bureau, hearing these terms is as familiar as returning home.
The times are beginning to get chaotic. Plots that people could only see in horror movies before will gradually happen in this world.
It is like lighting a fire in a confined space filled with flammable materials; similar things have always happened frequently in the past but they did not cause explosions because there was a lack of oxygen in the space; now that the spiritual energy has revived, the last link has been filled, so that any behavior related to ghosts and monsters will only bring disaster to oneself.
Less than two weeks after transferring to the new school, he encountered a supernatural incident in his own territory. Can we say that he is worthy of being the “ancestor” of the future? He is born with the quality of being in the vortex of events.
But then again, fortunately this person is Yi Qingyan. Not only does she have the ability to attract trouble, but most importantly, it is easy for her to deal with trouble.
“Isn’t it a fox fairy or something like that?”
He sighed.
“I heard that the process is indeed the same as these games, but the ghosts these students call are not ordinary fox spirits or pen spirits, but have a very strange name…”
Yi Qingyan said.
“My name is ‘Mushroom Sensei’.”
“…”
The three people’s eyes met on the table.
“Jingshan Man-Insect”, “Human Teacher”, and “Insect Teacher”…
Judging from these names, it would be strange if they had no relationship.
“What a coincidence.”
Cen Dongsheng murmured.
What happened next was relatively unremarkable. These suicidal girls heard about the method of summoning “Mushroom Teacher” from somewhere, and held a summoning ceremony in an empty classroom after school.
But they found nothing. They didn’t see any “thing” appear in front of them. Disappointed, they each left with their schoolbags on their backs. However, these ignorant high school students did not know that they had been targeted by an evil resentment.
According to the planned process, they would gradually become weak and crazy under the erosion and oppression of this evil thought until they died. In fact, the most sensitive girl in the group started to have a fever, nightmares and nonsense when she returned home that day.
These girls are really lucky because they live in the same school as the future King of Equality.
When Yi Qingyan went to school the next day, she noticed the yin energy rising in the classroom.
Of course, she didn’t know the group of girls who were seeking death, but the girl still went to take a look at the classroom, and with a casual stroke of her hand, she dispersed the curse energy that had already formed.
For her, this was just a casual thing. After all, it was her school and she liked to keep it clean.
“And then, he happened to be seen by that person?”
“Yeah, that girl seems to be born with ‘yin and yang eyes’.”
I thought I didn’t see anything, but as soon as I got back, I started having nightmares and felt something was wrong. The next day, I dragged my weak body back to school and noticed that the classroom was filled with ominous black smoke.
When she arrived at the classroom, she saw Yi Qingyan casually drawing, and she immediately felt her whole body lighten…
The girl immediately realized that she had bumped into a savior. “She hurriedly thanked me…”
Although it was a small accident, Yi Qingyan didn’t take it seriously. She accepted the thanks and turned to leave. But when she got to class, she found out that this girl was actually in the same class as her.
There’s no way, she really doesn’t care who is who.
“Later, she said she wanted to get to know me and wanted to find an opportunity to thank me, but I rejected her.”
“In the end, she was unwilling to give up and completely became your fangirl?”
“good.”
Speaking of this, Yi Qingyan’s expression revealed a hint of confusion.
“What I can’t understand is that I clearly scared her with my murderous aura, and her reaction at the time showed that she was indeed frightened. But the next day, she returned to her original attitude. I really don’t understand. Isn’t she afraid of death?”
The essence of Yi Qingyan’s “murderous aura” is to trigger people’s survival instinct. Ordinary spell-binding masters simply cannot withstand it. If even the murderous aura is useless… then he is no longer an ordinary person.
Cen Dongsheng was knowledgeable and experienced, and he actually had some guesses.
The girl with the ghost eyes sounds like she has the potential to become a curse-master, and it’s normal for a curse-master to have some personality defects… Considering that she drags people into playing supernatural games even though she knows there are ghosts in the world, it means that she is probably the type who pursues excitement to the point of not fearing even death; in short, she is a masochist.
The pure sister Qingyan probably cannot understand this abnormal psychology.
……
“This meeting ends here.”
The fact that the three of them were able to find evidence that was related to the same core together shows that there was an undercurrent.
But unfortunately, no matter who is behind this, now that his (her) little trick has been discovered, it is only a matter of time before he (she) is eradicated.
If he could move the trouble to another city, it would be entirely possible that the city would develop very well. However, he chose to do so in this era, in this city that was changed by him, a reborn person, and where the Philosopher King and the Equality King gathered together. It was destined to fail.
……
“By the way, I’m going to go on a spring outing with Qingyan in a couple of days.”
Afterwards, Cen Dongsheng helped Sister Zhizhen clean up the dishes and mentioned this matter by the way.
“Is it organized by their school?”
“Yeah. They said that parents must accompany them, so I have no choice but to come.”
The only living relatives of Yi Qingyan are her aunt’s family, and they have moved to another city. It is reasonable to let Cen Dongsheng, the guardian, be the head of the family.
However, he knew very well what his sister really thought. She just wanted to find an opportunity for him to spend more time with her; so it couldn’t be anyone else, it had to be him.
“Actually, I can go with her.”
An Zhizhen said in a quiet tone.
“Uh… aren’t you usually very busy with work?”
“hehe.”
Sister Zhizhen laughed, as gentle as ever, but he didn’t know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that there was something weird in her laughter.
“How many days will you be gone?”
“…It could only be one day.”
“One day’s share must be exchanged tenfold.”
The woman tilted her head and leaned against his chest.
“Come, hold me tight.”
Cen Dongsheng did as he was told. He opened his arms, embraced the slender and flexible waist, and placed his palms on the flat and elastic belly.
He took a deep breath, smelled the scent of shampoo on his long, black, smooth hair, looked out the window at night, and felt a sense of satisfaction he had never experienced in his previous life. His mood gradually calmed down…
*
Song Yutang stood alone on the empty meadow.
Almost at the same time, the female college student quietly slipped out of her home and passed the bridge across the river and the park across the bridge.
She tried to find a deserted place to avoid disturbing the neighbors.
Song Yutang closed his eyes and began to breathe deeply, feeling the flow of true Qi in his body. Through fighting, refining, and training, the amount of Qi gradually grew from a stream to a river.
But the stronger her true Qi means that she can mobilize more energy in her body, which cannot fully represent the increase in strength.
Where there is storage there is release. It requires experience to know how to cut the true Qi into several parts and use them flexibly.
She followed her master’s instructions and gradually developed the habit of conserving her strength every time she attacked and paying attention to the surrounding conditions. The purpose of doing this is to be able to organize the next attack more quickly.
The consumption of true Qi will be restored with the circulation of the Qi; but if too much is consumed at one time, it will enter an “overload” state and it will be difficult to circulate Qi normally. This interruption of rhythm is fatal in battle.
The girl’s eyes and ears were on all sides, and her full chest rose and fell with her steady, powerful breathing.
Even without using her eyes, the spell-forbidden master still had the ability to observe her surroundings. As her “spiritual perception” deepened, she felt that she could even catch the dust particles floating in the air…
This was not an illusion. When indigo light began to flow all over Song Yutang’s body, a naturally formed electric field attracted the dust to move around her.
The girl had some realization in her mind. Although she couldn’t use her own “electricity” to indirectly manipulate magnetism – it wasn’t that easy – her body and mind were still deeply affected by her ability and changed for the better.
Including making spiritual perception more acute, and… enhancing physical performance.
Song Yutang found that his appetite had increased significantly recently, while the amount of aerobic exercise had not changed. However, he could easily metabolize the energy he consumed by using his supernatural powers alone.
The stimulation of bioelectric current efficiently converts food into nutrients, making her muscles more elastic and resilient.
Although this change has not yet reached the level of “awakening superpowers” as mentioned by her master, her physical fitness is actually catching up with and even surpassing top athletes, fighting masters and well-trained elite soldiers.
These are all off-topic. Song Yutang came here mainly to test her first supernatural power: the maximum limit of “discharging”, which is her trump card.
–It’s now.
The moment she opened her eyes, a dazzling green light flashed in her pupils.
“Thorn-“
Song Yutang’s whole body was shining brightly, making it impossible for people to look directly at him for a moment.
The light that split the night was like a torch thrown down from the gods, and the blue flame burned brightly in the night.
The sound of the electric current continued violently, the light burned violently, and a bonfire was lit on the river bank that illuminated the darkness.
The bright and blazing light could be seen clearly by people standing on the bridge and even on the opposite bank of the river.
The lightning ran wildly like a snake, crawling wantonly on the ground. The meadow began to burn and was engulfed by the dazzling light of thunder. The ground within a radius of dozens of meters was covered with scar-like scorch marks; the surrounding air was emitting a pungent smell after ionization…
……
“call.”
After several minutes, the lightning began to gradually fade away and return to her body; the lawn where she was standing no longer had its original green color, leaving only the devastation of being burned by the wildfire.
Song Yutang looked at her hands and nodded with satisfaction.
“Well, it’s almost there.”
Even if the human-faced snake appears again, she can still defeat it on her own.
It’s time to take action, she thought, she must not let her master down.
