Chapter 31: A Man Who Is Wise and Approaching a Demon
Xiao Chen knew that the chances of him wanting to get information from Shu Wan were very small, but he couldn't help but give it a try. The result can be imagined, of course Shu Wan did not sue him.
"Nothing! The old man said that it should be some kind of natural phenomenon, and he had already asked people to go to the city to find someone to see, and it was said that he was still an expert. If you want to come here for a few days, you can stay with your father for a few more days. Shu Wan and Xiao Chen explained, but Xiao Chen didn't believe a word, he knew that this weird mist was definitely related to the curse, and the Huang family also knew this, but they didn't know what psychology they had, so they concealed it.
Shu Wan didn't get any useful information here, so Xiao Chen gave up on obtaining information in a bright way, and could only use eavesdropping. At this time, he also felt the constraints of the identity of the Mandate of Heaven, which was too restrictive of the actions of the executor. Without this Destiny status, they would be able to use some special means.
For example, Shu Wan or the Huang family were kidnapped, and then tortured! Of course, Xiao Chen wouldn't use this method, but it couldn't stop him from using other methods, such as sneaking in and searching. Now that he has the identity of the Huang family, this kind of shady means can't be used, so he can only eavesdrop.
It's still okay, although the same will be deducted from the power of the curse, but it can also be understood as Huang Wei's curiosity and wanting to know the truth of the matter. So eavesdropping, so that it doesn't trigger the strongest curse.
So, Xiao Chen secretly sent his zombie clone into the underground of the old lady of the Huang family. Zombies were originally bred in tombs, so they are still very good at retreat. Now I'm a little worried about whether the Huang family can find the zombie clone. After all, they also possess the ability to unleash the power of a curse without the need for a cursed object.
The old man of the Huang family has been since last night. He never fell asleep, but was always in his room, and kept calling the townsfolk in the town to talk to him. And said something like showing up. This is all told by the housekeeper, and now Xiao Chen is ready to take action in person and listen to what they are talking about!
After the zombie clone entered the underground where Old Lady Huang lived, it was not discovered by the people in the house, which made Xiao Chen breathe a sigh of relief. What he fears most is being discovered, you know, the people of the Huang family know something about his zombie clone. Shu Wan even knew that the damage he had received could be restored, which meant that his zombie clone had been known to the Huang family.
And what Cheng dù was specifically learned, Xiao Chen still doesn't know. But I believe that not all of them will be understood. Even in other mission worlds. Nor has there ever been a case where all of the things that the executor has cursed have been introduced. Xiao Chen believes that his zombie clone is probably just regarded as a cursed thing with the ability to restore fù, and as for the rest, the natives should not know.
But if the zombie clone is discovered by the people of the Huang family. Then he's going to have a hard time arguing. I can only tell you the truth that I eavesdropped because of "curiosity", but then there will be two situations.
One is that the Huang family broke the jar and simply sued him for all the qiē, which is of course the best situation. It's just that it's unlikely. Because he is the eldest of the Huang family! If the people of the Huang family wanted to let him know, they would have sued him a long time ago, and they would not have waited until now.
Most likely, the second scenario is more rigorous preparedness. So. Not only him, but even the executors of Island Seventeen could not easily obtain information. There are even worse scenarios. He was arrested by the Huang family and locked up in confinement! It's all possible!
Xiao Chen began to listen intently, shifting his mind to the zombie clone, and eavesdropping on the conversation in the room through the zombie clone. It's a pity that he doesn't know what's going on, he can't be quite clear! You know, although zombies are not known for their hearing, they are still ghosts in the end. It should be much stronger than a human ear anyway!
But now there is only a layer of earth skin in the room, and there is not even a wall, so I still can't hear the conversation in the house! Of course, this could not but surprise Xiao Chen.
For this kind of thing, Xiao Chen did not choose to sit still, but cut the fingers of the zombie clone, unleashed the power of the curse, and forced out a drop of original blood. This is exactly what zombies have with their unique ability, Raw Blood Sensing. With the ability of raw blood, it can sense the breath of living creatures such as humans. Of course, when it comes to Xiao Chen, the executor, it becomes a sensing curse power.
"Sure enough!" Xiao Chen thought secretly in his heart. After forcing the raw blood out of his body, he activated his sensing ability. Although he consumed a lot of curse power, he was still able to afford it. After releasing the sensing ability, he sensed that there was a curse power above him.
It was this curse power that restricted all the senses of Xiao Chen's zombie clone, although the feeling was still normal, but it couldn't sense a single qiē message in the room.
After sensing this power, Xiao Chen's brows furrowed tightly. He found that the curse power in the hands of the Huang family was unexpectedly powerful. He had thought that he would need to ask for something to achieve the release of the curse. But now it seems that they have the power to release the curse without such conditions.
This force is undoubtedly terrifying! If the executor in the cursed world gets it, doesn't it mean that even if there is no curse in the future, he can become an intermediate executor, or even a high-level executor? It's simply impossible, because nothing like this has ever happened! Even in the last era, when it was full of countless powerhouses, it was not possible to become a mid-to-high-level executor by relying only on his own strength and not relying on cursed things!
Xiao Chen shook his head, shook his ridiculous idea out, and began to think about other reasons. Is this a curse assigned to the Huang family by the cursed world? It's like Li Chengli in the previous zombie mission. It was because the task was too difficult, so the Cursed World specially arranged a high-level parasitic cursed thing for the executor's side. Although it requires too much curse power to use, its appearance saves the lives of all executors.
But that doesn't seem likely. Because that time it was an advanced mission, and this time it was an intermediate mission. In mid to low-level missions, there is only one cursed thing. This is something that is now known to almost all executors in the cursed world. However, Xiao Chen is not too sure, he even dares to think about the kind of thing before, is he breaking this kind of common thing enough?
At least this reason is much more normal than his previous thoughts. Although he had completely denied his idea before, he couldn't help but think about it now. If that's the case, then it's a new revolution in the world of the Damned!
You must know that the current executor's dependence on cursed things is simply to the extreme. They may have been able to solve the quest with their wits at first, but by the end of the day, they have almost forgotten the axiom stated on the boundary monument that all quests in the Cursed World can be solved by wisdom!
In fact, this is not to blame the executor, because so far, there has not been an executor who has been able to master advanced tasks with wisdom alone. And the one who has passed the wisdom test is the executor of the dead number three. It's called Ash! He had always believed that cursed things were created by ghosts. It can be used to ward off ghosts, but the root of it is the power of ghosts!
This power will gradually erode the human body and even the soul! Let a human become a human and a ghost, and eventually become a slave to the cursed world! And he also said that no one would be able to leave the cursed world at all. This is the afterlife, only the dead can enter, they are already dead, it is impossible to come back to life!
In short, he analyzes a lot of things in the cursed world, including cursed things and the most mysterious boundary monuments. And he refuses to use cursed things, and even when he clears the mission, he never confesses the cursed things of the Lord and then seals the ghosts, but uses his wisdom to fool the level. It's just that no one has ever been able to figure out how to get by.
He even published a book detailing how to fool the ghost into thinking he was dead. It was really all the rage at the time, and many executors used the power of the curse to buy the book! It's just that although the above method is useful, there are many key points that the executors can't understand.
The reason is because the wisdom of this ash is too perverted! Almost everyone who has been in contact with him said that he is the smartest person in the world, what Di Renjie Bao Qingtian, and he is weaker than him! I'm afraid that only Chu Xuan in the novel can compare with him. And his mantra is also Chu Xuan's "mortal wisdom"!
And he didn't bother to explain his own book, which almost no one could understand.
In this way, it is not possible to determine which specific method to use by the type of ghost in the guò task, so it is gradually eliminated. Especially after he died in a high-level mission, no one used this method anymore, and all of them instead went back to the power of the cursed thing, using the cursed thing to protect themselves. It's also the mainstream in almost every era!
Only some of the older generation of executors sometimes mention him as a rare genius when they introduce the cursed world to newcomers. It can be said that there is basically no intermediate task that he can't solve! As long as it is a low-level task, he can solve it perfectly. He is also the only executor who has become an intermediate executor as a curse-free thing! (To be continued......)
