Bone skeletons emerged in droves from the dark green smoke, grabbing the monster that wanted to get close to the young man, and the monster's blood-covered skin gradually blackened and let out a cry of pain.

The summoned skeletons are not very strong in combat, but they are superior in number and toughness, and once they are entangled by skeletons, it will become extremely difficult to break free from the skeleton pile.

Solvay was gradually surrounded by many skeletons, roaring in pain and waving his arms that had been enhanced by the power potion and swinging hard, and the skeletons who were already holding the monster inside the encirclement made a sound of bones shattering, and fell in batches.

This couldn't take too long, Luo Ning quickly carved the pattern in front of his eyes, and silently recited the incantation in his mouth.

"Violets are blooming, irises are blooming."

"Babies are crying, girls are chuckling."

"The earth awakens, and the sky is blue."

"Creator God, in your name, bring the world back to chaos and the end of life."

The spell ended, and he looked up to see the monster that was being entangled in more skeletons emerging from the dark green smoke, the monster's size became more distorted, and it was much thinner than before.

This is a sign of the monster's aging under the effects of ritual magic: withering.

Aging by magic, Solvay's attack power is significantly weaker than before, and most skeletons require two swings of their arms to shatter.

With that done, Ronin turned around and quickly ran towards Solvay's lab.

The sharp pain in his ribs accompanied by chest tightness made him not as good as he used to run, and every time he raised his foot, he would pull the injured ribs, and it was almost impossible to walk an inch when he approached the iron door of the entrance to the laboratory.

Stumbling to the side of the sewer and standing against the slippery wall, a squeaky sound could be heard from under his feet.

I looked down and noticed that some rats were passing by, flocking into the lab.

A mouse stopped, crawled down the injured young man's trouser leg to the young man's shoulder, and reached his ear.

"I have summoned my companions as you have commanded, and am working to open the box you have spoken, and should be able to accomplish the goal in no time.

It seems that the magic exerted on the wooden box also has a certain restriction on the bite of rats, otherwise such a large colony of rats would have bitten through the wooden box a long time ago.

After a slight slowdown, he pulled out a bottle of healing potion from his bosom and sprinkled it on his side.

The pain in his ribs quickly subsided, and he didn't have time to wait for the pain to disappear completely, so he dragged his embarrassed body to the door of the laboratory, and when he entered the laboratory, he was moved by the scene in front of him.

There were a lot of rats on the ground injured, the hair on the body surface had been soaked in blood, and many rats that rushed to the box were injured to varying degrees, but they didn't give up and were still trying.

The wooden box had been bitten into a little notch, but it hadn't been completely bitten through, and the size of the rat couldn't get in.

The sound of angry scolding behind him and the crackling sound of the behemoth moving through the water reached the laboratory, and Solvay had been freed from the shackles of ritual magic and would soon be back in the laboratory.

Time is running out, and once the other party returns here and uses the special ability again, he will have to sit back and wait.

Ronin quickly moved to the wooden box and took out his pistol.

"Get out of the way."

When the rats got out of the way, he aimed the muzzle of the gun at the small notch that the rat had bitten out, the diameter of the notch was only about a centimeter in size, and the muzzle could not be completely stuffed in, and because of the defensive magic of the wooden box, the muzzle of the gun could not be tightly attached to the surface of the notch of the wooden box, so he could only give up a short distance.

Close one eye and aim.

The iron door of the laboratory made a loud "bang", and Solvay rushed into the laboratory at this time, only to pay attention to the young man's actions.

Luo Ning smiled slightly and quickly pulled the trigger.

"Bang"

There was a loud bang, smoke coming out of the muzzle, and a dull sound coming from inside the wooden box almost synchronized with the gunshot, the sound of a beating heart being hit and bursting.

After pulling the trigger, Luo Ning found that his body fell into a stiff state again, and the fingers holding the trigger could not be released, so he remained standing.

The monster's peculiar screams of pain rang out from the side, growing stronger and weaker over time until they fell completely calm.

The rats on the side immediately crowded together, and crawled in all directions to the nearby walls or crevices, as if Ronin was the only one left in the entire laboratory.

This continued for nearly twenty seconds, and the finger holding the trigger slowly released, and the body gradually regained its mobility.

When he fully regained his mobility, Ronin gasped and turned his head to look at the dead monster Solvay, whose body had returned to human form and was completely naked.

Staring at the dead who was covered in essence, Ronin gasped for a long time until his breathing returned to a steady level, and slowly moved to Solvay the Cursed to observe the dead.

The deceased's face was old, but it was also evident that he was a rather handsome young man when he was young.

At this time, the rats that were lying on the wall or hiding in the crevices came out, slowly moved around the young man, made a slight noise, and watched the dead carefully.

This long battle ended in victory!

stepped forward and slashed the young man's wrist with a dagger, blood flowed out, and soon a primordial fate card was seen in the blood stains.

A man from his topless body, holding a shovel, is digging something in the ground, it is clear that this is a brand new pattern, and the original fate card that has not seen a pattern so far is only the gold digger.

This is a Gold Digger card with three bars around the edges.

Absorb the "Gold Digger" original destiny card into his card storage space, and then a deck of cards appears, and there are three card patterns, all of which are illusory.

Obviously, this is a combination card used to level up, because he completed the inevitable event this time and killed his target, so he got a combination card.

Then Tersu, who wants to protect Solvay, is destined to become a cursed.

Luo Ning suddenly felt that the inevitable event was not very fair, and it was obviously much easier to kill a target to complete the inevitable event than to protect a target, at least without considering whether there was an awakened person who opposed him in the inevitable event.

This time, the upgraded combination cards require three original fate cards, and if you look at the pattern, there are three types of cards in order: "Minion", "Hunter", and "Lawyer".

I already have all three of these cards, and I just need to do the upgrade ritual, but not here, I have to go back to a safe place.

Take away the combination card, get up and look around, there are a lot of seriously injured rats, all of them are injured for themselves.

Luo Ning took out the remaining two bottles of healing potion from his arms and poured them on the injured rats, and soon those injured rats recovered, leaving only a dozen or so that had died before.

Luo Ning leaned down and looked at the rats who had already gathered.

"If it weren't for your help, it would have been me who died in this battle, please forgive me for my previous prejudice against you and salute you."

The rats chirped, and one representative came out and stroked the little head with its paws.

"You're here for Franklin's request, we can't sit idly by, and if you die we'll have more of our dead companions."

Ronin smiled awkwardly, it seemed that Franklin had told these friends about his use of poison.

After sending the rats away, he got up and observed the laboratory, which contained many things that he could use, such as a bronze scale and a set of weights for weighing the basic potion, and a reactor.

However, there is no way to move it by yourself, and you will find someone to carry it later.

Finally, his eyes fell on the desk, looking at the diary that Solvay had written on the desk earlier, and stepped forward with a frown.

"Conditions for summoning the master: 400 faithful believers, a throne made of fine iron, a pattern for summoning the master to come into the world (engraved on the throne), using the bones of the dead to be placed around the throne (also placed in the pattern of the throne), and silently reciting the following incantations on a moonless night."

Underneath are a few strange lines of text that have never been seen before, clearly the spell mentioned above.

Flipping through the diary, I quickly found something of interest.

It is a research material on the Cursed.

Ronin pulled up a chair and sat down to look through it.

(The Cursed are always able to hear some strange babbles.) ）

Underneath this sentence are some strange symbols, I don't understand the meaning, such a record appears every day according to the date marked in the diary.

It lasted for many days, and finally a sentence appeared that could be understood.

(Having listened to his master's teachings, Solvay has learned a great deal that I will be loyal to you and will endeavour to be fully prepared for your arrival as you have commanded.) ）

In this way, the strange symbols above are the words of the so-called "master" mentioned here!

Who is this owner?

Luo Ning continued to look through it, and there was another series of strange symbols, which must have come from the "master".

Soon, I saw another paragraph that I could understand.

"The Cursed One is the true child of the Master, and I am honored to be the One of the Cursed by the fact that you have given us another and more powerful life form."

It seems that this master's brainwashing ability is very good!

Luo Ning complained and continued to check, and after a long list of strange symbols, he saw a picture, and above the graphic was written "Cursed Rank System for Gold Digger's Original Destiny Card".

The pattern is three rectangular boxes, arranged from top to bottom, with the following words written on them: Gambler (Desperate Counterattack), Tomb Robber (Luck), and Infected (Imprisoned).

It's easy to understand the above, which means that the original Destiny cards correspond not only to an Awoken upgrade system, but also to a cursed upgrade system.

In layman's terms, the owner of the Gold Digger's fate card can awaken to become an Awakened and continue to level up, even if he can't awaken and become a curse, he can continue to upgrade and improve his abilities, which is not static.

Then the rectangle in front of it should be the name of each level of the cursed system corresponding to Solvay's "Gold Digger" fate card, and the abilities obtained by each level are in parentheses.

The evidence is the imprisonment in parentheses of the infected, he has imprisoned Ronin twice before, indicating that Solvay has reached the third level of the cursed system corresponding to the "Gold Digger": the infected, with the ability to imprison, as for the gambler's desperate counterattack and the grave robber's luck What the specific ability is, at least Solvay's luck does not seem to be very good......

This is a major discovery for those who understand the curse.
