Chapter 2: The Cursed
When you suddenly see such a thing, according to normal people's thinking, you must be screaming in fear! Just like Wang Chuanshi. As soon as he saw the human hand in Huang Xiaojing's hand, he immediately screamed in fright!
And Xiao Chen's reaction was beyond the expectations of the two senior executors, although he also stared at the human hand, trembling all over, but he bit his lip tightly, and blood flowed from his lips, but he didn't make even a single sound!!
This discovery made the two veteran executors a little stunned, because the cost of doing so was not small. Because this is not at all in line with Zhao Qiang's behavior, he will suffer the curse of the cursed world, and that will cost him the power of the curse!
In a world where even the slightest power of the curse was precious, why on earth would he do this?
The two veterans were right, Xiao Chen had lost a full twenty points of curse power! But he didn't regret it, if he was given a chance to rush, he would still do it!
Because Xiao Chen knew in his heart that for him now, even more curse power would be useless, because until now he was not ready to fight ghosts and curses. In his opinion, if he was not mentally prepared to fight against ghosts, then what was the point of how much curse power there was? If he dies at the hands of the ghost tonight, then even if he doesn't waste any of his curse power, will he take it to hell?
And what he requires of himself is to be calm, he believes that as long as he can face the terrifying curse calmly, then he will have a glimmer of life! And that's just the line!
After Xiao Chen tried to relax his body and stop trembling, he moved his gaze to Wang Chuanshi, after all, these things were caused by his scream.
But when I looked at it, I found that there was nothing. This surprised him. Not only him, but even the other two were very surprised, even if a ghost was exorcized, it shouldn't be as if nothing had happened now.
Liu Lei is a veteran after all, and immediately asked Wang Chuanshi: "What's wrong with you, I was shocked, I thought you were a ghost." β
"No, no, no, I just suddenly had a lot of stomach pain, that's why I screamed." Wang Chuanshi was obviously frightened enough, and he was still a little trembling when he spoke at this time.
"Nothing, what are you calling nonsense!" Liu Lei was so angry that he roared. Not only him, but Huang Xiaojing next to him was also very angry.
It's no wonder that the two of them were angry, just because of his shouting just now, both of them used their own curses! That is, the steel ruler and the human hand!
In this cursed world, ghosts and curses are always the most terrible beings. It can't be removed at any time! This is what the World Boundary Monument of the Curse says! Then it means that the executor will die as long as he performs the task. Because ghosts are immortal and all have special abilities, how can the executor escape the pursuit of ghosts and curses? The answer is cursed things! The Executor's Strongest Life-Saving Means!
But this super life-saving method can't be without a price at all, and the price is the power of the curse! Every time you use a cursed thing, you have to pay some cursed power! This is one of the reasons why every executor attaches so much importance to the power of the curse!
And it wasn't just this that made the two veterans angry, but the cursed thing couldn't be used continuously in a short period of time! You know, after all, cursed things are made of curses, and once you use cursed things twice in thirty minutes, then the first object of the curse outbreak will be the owner of the curse!
So in the next thirty minutes, if the ghosts attack, then these people can only rely on their own physical mortals to fight the ghosts! Or your own luck!
Although Liu Lei was angry with Wang Chuanshi, he drove Wang Chuanshi out of the door to go to the toilet, and then returned to his chair and sat down with a depressed face, not even wanting to play cards.
This time, he was so depressed that he not only lost sixty points of curse power in vain, but also put his only cursed thing into a cooldown period. Although he is a powerful veteran in the eyes of the two newcomers, he knows his own situation, and he himself has only carried out two missions, counting this time only three times. This cursed thing of mine is only the lowest level cursed thing, and the ability of the lowest cursed thing to sign up in the mission is better than nothing! And the power of his curse is only enough to use the curse for more than ten seconds!
When Liu Lei was depressed, Xiao Chen was also reflecting on his behavior just now, although he deducted twenty points of curse power, he felt that it was worth it. Not only did this exercise his guts, but it also allowed him to have a rehearsal before he officially faced the ghosts! He is now confident that even if he really faces the ghosts, he can calm down and find the real way to live!
Then there is the cursed thing, he did not read the message given to him by the cursed world after entering the cursed world, because he thought that the most important thing at this time was to live! But after seeing the cursed thing and learning some of the information about the cursed thing, he found that the information given by the cursed world was important, important enough to allow these executors to complete the task ahead of time!
Of course, there is a lot of pay. And if you want to return early, you have to take the initiative to contact the ghosts and try to find the cursed thing, and in most low-difficulty mission worlds, ghosts and curses can only rely on cursed things to survive, once you find the cursed thing, you can seal the ghost, so as to complete the task in advance! And the cursed thing also has the power of curse because of this, and can fight against ghosts.
After learning this information, Xiao Chen immediately made up his mind that he must get the cursed thing in this mission world! Otherwise, even if you survive this time, what about next time? Do you want to rely on that illusory luck again? That's not his character! Although he is a little cowardly, once he is cornered, then the courage he bursts out is absolutely incomparable!
Wang Chuanshi not only startled everyone because of a loud scream, but he was also scared half to death by the cursed palm that Huang Xiaojing took out. Although he was not a newcomer as Xiao Chen guessed, he had only carried out one mission. And in his last mission, he was lucky enough to go on a mission with a veteran who had actually participated in more than a dozen missions. And he was the younger brother of the veteran in that mission world, and he was taken care of by a lot of Cheng DΓΉ to survive. To say that he was really very lucky, that veteran had already exceeded the difficulty of the task, and if it weren't for some reason, it would have been impossible to carry out the mission with him!
Therefore, Wang Chuanshi survived the first mission by complete luck. He himself felt that if he didn't do something, there was little hope of surviving this mission. Even he will be used as cannon fodder by those veterans to send to death, in the escape of life and death, you don't have to run faster than ghosts, but you must run faster than people!
So, he decided to use the time he spent on the toilet to explore the storage room! He felt that since the mission required everyone to explore at nine o'clock, maybe the ghost would only appear after nine o'clock! Then he has a chance, once he can find the cursed thing, then not only can he complete the task in advance, but he will also have a means to save his life in the future!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct, so he sneaked out of the dormitory and into the school building!
But can it really be as simple as he thinks?
At the same time, Uncle Qian, who was guarding the door and working as a watchman, saw a dark shadow slip into the teaching building.
"Is that a veteran executor?" Uncle Qian thought so, and followed into the teaching building.
In the bedroom, Liu Lei, Huang Xiaojing, and Xiao Chen also had nothing to do, and they really had nothing to do. Xiao Chen suddenly saw the computer on his desk and turned it on. Xiao Chen can be said to be very familiar with computers, after all, he studied computers in college. Xiao Chen turned on the computer not for anything else, but to search the Internet for information about the murder case five years ago. Now that you've decided to take the plunge to find the cursed, be well prepared.
Cursed things, as the name suggests, are items that carry curses. Therefore, the cursed thing must be related to the ghost, so if you have an understanding of a series of things that happened to the ghost before you died, then it must be helpful to find the cursed thing. At present, it can be determined that the ghost in the storage room is Sun Mei, who died tragically five years ago.
Therefore, the difficulty of this mission world is still very low, after all, even the identity of the ghost has been notified to the executor in advance. This makes it easier to find clues about the cursed.
Seeing Xiao Chen turn on the computer, Huang Xiaojing's eyes showed a hint of approval. And Liu Lei is still a little absent-minded, in his opinion, newcomers who don't even have cursed things are completely burdensome. Just like Wang Chuanshi just now, he let himself lose sixty points of curse power in vain, not to mention, he also scared himself a lot.
In the final analysis, Liu Lei is still a human being, no matter how many missions he has performed, he is still very afraid of ghosts. It's just that when faced with ghosts, some people can stay calm in fear. But he obviously can't do this yet, although he can remain calm in front of the two newcomers, but once he really meets the ghost face to face, he is probably not as good as Xiao Chen!
Besides, Xiao Chen turned on the computer and began to search for the murder case five years ago. As expected, the results obtained are very few, after all, in a country like China, where good news is not reported, ordinary people will not spend much time reporting homicides, not to mention that the interference of the cursed world cannot be ruled out. If you are told the identity of the ghost, and then tell you the details of the case, is it still called a mission, then you will directly set the cursed thing in a very small range, and you can easily complete the task as long as you try it one by one. So the Cursed World will definitely intervene.
Xiao Chen also understood this, so he was not disappointed, but looked at it with interest.
Most of the opinions found on the Internet are expressed by some students, and most of them are false, and cannot be fully trusted. But to his surprise, he found a photo! It was a screenshot of what was reported in the newspaper about that!
Unfortunately, most of a picture is not read, probably because the camera is too old. The part that can be seen clearly is basically similar to what Liu Lei said, after all, Uncle Qian was the first to arrive at the scene!
However, there was one sentence that caught Xiao Chen's attention. "The deceased will be extremely cruel before he dies." Although there is a passage that cannot be read clearly, it gives Xiao Chen enough space for imagination, what did that Senior Sister Sun Mei do that is called extremely cruel? Could it have something to do with cursed things?
After reading this picture, Xiao Chen faintly had a few guesses in his heart. The most likely of them is the murder weapon, the fruit knife!
After all, it was used by Sun Mei to kill Xu Mengguo, but in the end, she died tragically under the knife, so it makes perfect sense to use it as a curse! But there's another question, that is, the fruit knife should be at the police station, why is the ghost in the storage room?
Seeing that there were no more clues related to it, Xiao Chen was also a little anxious. After all, he had already decided to find the cursed thing, and at this time, as long as he had even a little more clue, it might become the key to his life at that time! So he made a bold decision to hack into the website of the public security system and find the truth there!
In fact, there is another way, which is to find the newspaper, but it is very difficult, not to mention that there are only three days, even thirty days are more than sure to find it.
It's better to act than to act, do it when you think of it! In fact, what Xiao Chen did took a huge risk, and it is conceivable that once what he did was discovered by the police, then he would probably be taken away by the police! Then he won't be able to complete the task of entering the pantry before twelve o'clock! He will be wiped out by the cursed world!
