Chapter 7: Cursed
The search was fruitless, and with a long breath, Xu Yunge found that he was tireless in the middle of the night. In the pitch-black screen of the monitor, his purple and black eye bags are mirrored, his face is as bad as paper, and some parts of his body become translucent from time to time.
In a trance, Xu Yunge felt like a ghost, not a human.
The other survivors are like evaporating from the world, and no matter how much they search, there is no way to get in touch with others.
Because Xu Yunge was a little uncomfortable to discover that curses could not only provide strength, but they would also affect human emotions. For example, once immersed in negative emotions for a long time, Xu Yunge will automatically activate and gradually suffocate to death.
He survived with the power of the curse, but the curse would also eat away at his body. Now that the game is over, and there is no response to the rune in his head, how can he turn the curse into a blessing when he is alone?
In order to prove that he was not seriously ill and hallucinated, in order to verify that the power of the curse is real. Xu Yunge decided to get off the plane for a refund, took the ID card that was about to expire, and walked to his aunt's house alone.
Along the way, the night was dark.
Xu Yunge has never had a key to the house, nor does he have his own room, if home is the most gentle haven for a wanderer, this old mansion is the source of Xu Yunge's nightmare.
Xu Yunge remembered that when he went to school, he came back from the weekend vacation, his aunt played mahjong in the house, shouted for a long time, and no one opened the door for him, there were wild dogs in the corridor at that time, and the old man who picked up garbage smiled at him, he was so scared, but when he opened the door, his aunt who lost money slapped him.
Xu Yunge still remembers that when he was playing games with his cousin, his cousin didn't finish his homework and his exam grades were not good, and his aunt blamed him for all the mistakes.
Xu Yunge will never forget how his aunt counted down his poor results in the college entrance examination, and how well his cousin did in the college entrance examination, and he was able to be admitted to the civil service after graduation, and proudly sprinkled all the malicious grievances over the years on him, and ordered him to hand over his salary and give it to his cousin as a monthly rent, to repay his aunt's family for raising him for many years.
even said that he didn't go to work at all, he couldn't give his cousin pocket money when he went to work anyway, stayed at home as a servant, and gave him a salary of 300 yuan a month. The more he recalled, the more Xu Yunge felt that his heart had already become extremely deformed and ugly.
And the power of the curse obscured his form, making him stand at the source of this nightmare, laughing silently. What if you can't breathe? The suffocation, which pressed all the anger and resentment in his heart, burned extremely violently, making him feel that only by venting could he really breathe.
People always find a comfortable excuse for their bad deeds, don't they?
You think my life is cheap, can I also think that your life is cheap enough?
There was a knock on the door of his aunt's house, and Xu Yunge felt that his brain was falling into a loss, the fire of hatred was burning in his body, and the pain of suffocation was very real. But the thought of him being able to take revenge on the person who hurt him made him feel so happy that he even forgot the feeling of suffocation.
Kill her, kill her, kill her so I can feel at ease, how can I sleep without killing her......
Xu Yunge gritted his teeth with a hideous face, kept knocking on the door, waiting for the stealth to give the other party a fatal blow.
"Come on, come on, why did you come back so late suddenly, doesn't it mean that you are coming back?"
When the aunt opened the door, she saw that it was empty, and suddenly the door closed automatically and locked, and she didn't have time to escape, the apron at the corner of her clothes was automatically rolled into a hemp rope, which wrapped around her neck, Xu Yunge's eyes were red and bloodshot, and inch by inch of black blood vessels suddenly erupted in the sideburns of her face.
"I hate you, I hate you! I hate you to death, I can't wait to eat you now! Why can you not treat me as a human being with peace of mind, why do you take everything from me and watch me die? Don't you want me to die? Now that I'm dead, I've come to you! ”
"Listen, I recorded every word you said to me! There is a kind of you go to sue me, you see who is deprived of guardianship and inheritance, you see who will have the last laugh, why don't you look at it, do you want me to gouge out your eyeballs! ”
"Ah!!!h Aunt was strangled by Xu Yunge so that she couldn't breathe, and under the double oppression of fear and suffocation, a foul smell came from her lower body. She kicked her legs as hard as she could, causing the shoe rack at the door to scatter to the ground, and finally managed to scream, alarming her husband in the house.
Hearing that someone was about to walk out of the door, Xu Yunge violently dragged his aunt, who was about to faint, into the kitchen, locked the door, and pushed her into the refrigerator.
At this time, Xu Yunge's reason forced him to let go and stop making mistakes: "Revenge murder has no good results, as long as I kill her, no matter who the house and inheritance belong to, no matter what kind of friendship my parents had with my aunt's family back then, I don't have an advantage in morality and law, and this will be fruitless." ”
The hot brain calmed down, and without waiting for the door to open the door, Xu Yunge's figure gradually disappeared again due to the curse, even though he left a lot of incriminating evidence and fingerprints, he left here calmly.
Although he didn't succeed in killing his aunt, Xu Yunge confirmed what he wanted to know: even if he was about to succeed, he would succeed in killing her. At that moment, his heart beat and his brain were indeed excited to the extreme. But seeing his aunt's dying moment, Xu Yunge was not only not happy, but his hatred and anger could not be calmed down, burning everything in him like hell. This usually abuses and tortures herself, but now she faints when she pinchs it!
This did not meet Xu Yunge's expectations, he couldn't wait to cut off his aunt's flesh one by one, and torture her to death. But that's just a fantasy, and the reality proves that my aunt is just an ordinary woman, her life is very fragile, and even if you torture her, it is pointless. Thinking of this, maybe he killed all his aunt's family, and the hatred would not stop, the anger in Xu Yunge's heart gradually subsided, and his heart gradually returned to peace.
Maybe Hu Xiaoyu, who was cursed at that time, was just like himself now, and his mind was affected by the curse, and he began to go crazy when he fell into negative emotions. Even Wang Baozhi, who has the best relationship with her, will be attacked by her, if she connives the curse, will she become like her sooner or later?
Xu Yunge kept making excuses to force himself to calm down, and he told himself word by word: he can't kill, he needs to fight to survive and mix better in life. Only then was he able to laugh at all his aunt's behavior, and look at her past behavior like a clown.
Using the power of the curse to cover up the means of committing the crime, maybe others really can't find out. But it is more likely that he changed his personality impulsively, so that Xu Yunge became simply enjoying the pleasure of going crazy and venting. To put it simply, the curse will turn Xu Yunge from an ordinary patient into a mad maniac.
At least I have adventures now, and they don't. Xu Yunge reluctantly comforted himself with a few words, and finally suppressed the urge to curse after leaving the community.
Thinking of the changes in his own curse, and remembering that someone gave up the right to vote to kill, Xu Yunge couldn't help but speculate in his heart: Using the curse to kill people must have side effects.
After voting to kill Hu Xiaoyu in the game, the additional trait that eclipsed the curse changed immediately after leaving the game, and although this trait changed the communication and action efficiency issues, it became a curse that could be used to kill people by suffocation.
Whether it's good or bad, Xu Yunge can't tell for the time being. But he did completely calm down, realizing that curse-ridden was not to be abused. Otherwise, the curse will continue to twist and escalate, and it is likely that it will turn against the guest, and you may also become a puppet of the cursed power and evil spirits.
This analysis corresponds to the "ghost slave" level of prompting, if a person is completely under a curse and completely becomes a ghost slave and toy, how can there be free will? However, if a curse is used to restrain people's behavior, to limit people's thoughts and emotions, to increase the cost of crime so that people dare not do evil, and to make people afraid of the mutation of curses, curses can also be used to stop evil?
All the way back to the Internet café to reopen the private room, Xu Yunge was physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't sort out his mood until the end of the night.
Last night's adventures and experiences gave Xu Yunge a great impact, and the return of the remaining rationality and the timely closure made him look at the curse from a different perspective: the power of the curse does exist, but using it to kill people casually may have unpredictable consequences. If killing people increases the power of the curse, causing the curse to become more and more difficult to control, then it makes sense that the other cursed people are reluctant to do anything about it.
I don't feel too stupid yet, not being led by the nose by curses and urban legends. Xu Yunge was much more energetic, and searched for news and information related to Hu Xiaoyu to confirm whether Hu Xiaoyu was really involved with urban legends. After all, there is a difference between urban legends and reality, if Hu Xiaoyu really turned into a ghost to kill her parents, why could her parents still make those news at the university gate?
However, what is a little troublesome is that Xu Yunge found out after searching that this case was more than a year ago, and it was not news that happened recently.
A casual search reveals a scuffle on the Internet. The school and parents have been torn apart so far, and no one has budged.
Hu Xiaoyu's dormitory classmates either took a leave of absence or graduated, or changed dormitories. Xu Yunge wanted to ask where Hu Xiaoyu met the ghost, lost his mind after receiving the curse, and what kind of transaction he made, all of which was difficult to handle.
What makes Xu Yunge even more suspicious is that among the 5 voters, only 1 voluntarily abstained, judging from the situation in the game, he knows the curse he holds, and he must be a veteran who is worried that indiscriminate killing will cause disaster, so what are the other 4 people and the people who died in the game doing after returning to reality?
Could it be because they don't want to vote because they have multiple positive effects and are afraid of changing into other attributes?
No, if it's all a curse with a positive effect, can it still be called a curse? It's almost indistinguishable from a special ability, right?
There are no answers to a lot of questions, Xu Yunge has made up his mind, Hujiazhuang is a long way away, and it must be very troublesome to investigate the things of the year. But if you know the arrangement of the murder weapon, the murderer, and the accomplice, know all the traces of the evidence, and contact Wang Baozhi, you may be able to ask what you want to know.
Just as Xu Yunge was thinking, a text message popped up.
[User "**Tiger" deposited 50,000 yuan into your wallet] Message: "Brother, I heard that you need to spend money when you are sick, and I don't need anything to eat and live here, so you can take it and use it first." ”
