Chapter 488: Two Curses
Mysterious knowledge that is hidden under common sense, or even contrary to common sense, is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and even August, who has lived from three centuries ago to the present day, and has devoted a lot of energy to the study of witchcraft and forbidden knowledge, would have misestimated many things. He didn't know what the true body of the wraith was, but he made a judgment based on the voices he kept hearing in his hallucinations, believing that "that dark monster" had been divided into two parts by the witch, one of which was suppressed in the deep tundra of Siberia, and the other part was entangled in him. With this in mind, he made the decision to distance himself from the Andrei family, and strictly limited the frequency of his contact with the Andrei family based on the knowledge of witchcraft that God knows where: this is where the strange and obscure letters come from.
Many of the steps he had taken seemed ridiculous and useless to true experts, but at least the decision to "stay away from Siberia" was a wise one, especially since he had removed something from his room, and Vivien was even more convinced.
August approached Vivien with a black wooden box with an intricate structure, and offered it both hands: "The stone is in here. β
"What's this box for?" Vivien looked at the wooden box curiously, "Why does it look familiar?" β
August was surprised: "You forgot? This is what you gave me back then, and you specifically instructed me and my descendants to keep the box safe, because you said that one day you might come to pick it up - I thought at first that you had come specifically for this box. β
"Yes?" Vivien frowned, "Oh, looks like I'm missing something." β
She said as she opened the wooden box. I saw the inconspicuous gadget inside: "This is the second piece - there is indeed a part of the power of the angry spirit remaining on it, it seems that I was over-consumed and careless in the past." β
Hao Ren saw an oval object the size of a palm lying quietly in the box. It was really different from the first device that the Andre family had saved. The surface of this thing has a pattern of concentric circles in circles, and in the middle is a small hole that penetrates. Other than that, you can't see any bumps or bumps.
It's hard to tell from the looks that this thing has any connection to the first device.
"It's some inexplicable thing, what the hell is the angry spirit," Hao Ren muttered, casually taking out the triangular gadget from the carry-on space, and tentatively putting the two "stones" together, "No response?" β
He picked up two grotesque "Raging Relic" and gestured back and forth, bringing them together or striking each other lightly, but neither of them sounded or saw a light indication. Lily watched the amusement from the side, and yelled over to fiddle with it. Hao Ren hesitated for a moment before handing it over: he knew that this husky had a hobby of collecting stones, and he hoped that the second girl would not take two bites to try the taste......
However, Lily fiddled with it for a long time, and the situation was the same, they showed no sign of activating or activating: no one on site would use it.
The husky had no choice but to return the stone to Hao Ren in frustration, but looking at the reluctance on her face, it was obvious that she really wanted to add this thing to her Wang Zhibao......
"It seems...... There's something missing," the number of terminals floated out and circled around the two "stones," the unit sensed that they did resonate, but the resonance signal should have been sent to another device: there were no third-party devices here, so they couldn't receive feedback. There was no movement either. β
"Another device?" Hao Ren's eyebrows furrowed, and he suddenly remembered the crack in the Angry Spirit Space, "Is it really that gate?" This stone is the key to open the door? β
The Hao Ren was discussing the matter of the angry spirits with a few half-experts, and August was horrified to watch them put together two "cursed stones". His eyes widened and he coughed violently twice: "You can't put them in one ......"
"It's okay, the evil spirit has been killed by us," Hao Renhun waved his hand nonchalantly. At the same time, he felt an unpleasant chill in his hand as he held the second key, and the remnants of the angry spirit's aura still lingered over the thing. "Sanba, help purify this thing."
Nangong Sanba glanced at Hao Ren: "You have a fish that is higher than my exorcism skills, okay?" Let her shout twice. β
"Oh yes," Hao Ren snapped, then patted his chest, "Doudou came out and brightened his voice." β
The little mermaid immediately happily drilled out of Hao Ren's neckline for most of her body, she has been paying attention to the movement outside, although she doesn't understand what the principle is, but she realizes that her father needs herself, so she happily cleared her throat at the second "key stone" in Hao Ren's hand, but before she sang the first note, Hao Ren felt that the cold feeling in her hand was instantly emptied.
"I'm going to you...... This efficiency," Nangong Sanba looked at Hao Ren's demon fish like a monster, "What is the principle of this fish?" β
Hao Ren had been struggling with this question all day, and at this time he was talking about his guess: "I suspect it has something to do with Doudou's demon-hunting power. β
Nangong Sanba was stunned: "What the hell is the devil hunting demon fish?" β
"It's not just the Demon Fish Hunter, but she has directly received the empowerment of the power of the first generation of Demon Hunters, and she can be compared to the Demon Hunter's ancestor in terms of realm," Nangong May couldn't help but cover her face as soon as she thought of Doudou's messy power acquisition process, "Brother, don't ask, this is not explained in two or three thousand words, and I will tell you slowly when I go back and have time." β
Nangong Sanba was stunned for a moment, because Hao Ren hadn't had time to explain to him that Doudou had been empowered by an "Origin Hallows" and obtained the power of a demon hunter. Auguste, who was next to him, was even more frightened: he boasted that he had seen many extraordinary things in his life, but he had never seen a mermaid: this mermaid was only a foot long......
But in any case, he is also a character who has lived for three centuries, and he has also seen the scene of the werewolf and vampire battle back then, and the old man is still very calm at this time. Vivien glanced at him, and was not surprised to find that even though the aura on the "stone" was removed, August still had signs of being infected by the obsession of the angry spirit, and she patted Doudou's head: "A few more throats to rush over here." β
The little guy was overjoyed, for the first time since he was born, he felt so powerful, and he screamed at the old man, and this time everyone around him raised their attention, and finally sensed that when Doudou made a sound, there was a wonderful power that spread out along with her voice-the cold and distorted aura entrenched in Auguste's body was like an electromagnetic wave that was strongly disturbed, and instantly collapsed into a meaningless clutter and vanished.
"After you go back, you must check what new functions Doudou has," Nangong May frowned and looked at Doudou who was happily babbling and shouting, under the little guy's sharp and clear voice, the gloomy atmosphere left by the obsession of the angry spirit in a large space around him was rapidly retreating, and Nangong May even felt that the spiritual power that had spread out was being disturbed by some kind of harmless but tangible existence, "...... In addition, it is better to teach the little one a few decent tunes in the future, at least the little apple cannot always be used in the exorcism ceremony......"
It was only then that Auguste finally reacted, and he realized that the voice that had haunted him for three hundred years had been easily removed in the process of this joke, and the whole person fell into a great shock, and he became refreshed, stood up and rubbed his hands to thank everyone. Vivien waved his hand to stop his overly excited reaction: "To be honest, I'm a little curious, since the 'stone' has caused you so much trouble, why don't you just throw it away?" You're not like the Andrei family, who have been targeted by evil spirits and are trapped in Siberia and can't leave. β
"To be honest, I did think about it in the early years," August said, looking at the two "stones" in Hao Ren's hand with a complicated expression, "and did throw it away a few times, but each time this thing came back to me like a curse - as long as I left it for more than seven days, this thing would come back." I've given up. β
"Seven days too?" Hao Ren glanced at Vivian in surprise, "The people of Andre's family can't leave the castle for more than seven days, is it the same reason?" β
Compared to the Andrei family, who were directly trapped near the Fury Spirit's body, August's side was significantly less affected, he was only haunted by nightmares, and the "stone" did not kill him, but the two curses obviously have a lot of similarities: the victim cannot be too far away from the cursed item, cannot be away for too long, and the cursed item will try to infuse the victim's memory with inexplicable information, which is very curious.
The wraith is an irrational creature, so what does it mean to create these "curses" with obvious purpose and regularity?
"Two stones are in hand," Vivien put the questions aside for a moment, turning her head to Auguste, "Paul, you can come with us to Castle AndrΓ©βis that okay?" (To be continued......)
