Chapter 25: The Curse (4)
Back at home, Gao Qian hurriedly ate a bowl of instant noodles, opened the "Beginner's Witch Guidebook", and turned to the curse science. It's just that he was disappointed that there were few thin pages, and there was basically no substantive explanation, and compared to the illustrated Potions section, the curse science part seemed a little too perfunctory.
And most of those superficial curse principles, in Gao Qian's view, belong to the category of psychology.
Gao Qian patiently read line by line, and finally saw the bottom line of the page written:
Although witches do not advocate the practice of curses, as one of the most basic disciplines of witchcraft, here is a brief introduction to the simplest and most effective method of cursing.
Gao Qian lifted his spirit and hurriedly turned the page.
Oh, it's actually pictured.
A teenage witch with a pointed hat, crossed over her waist, pursed her lips at another woman dressed in a bewitching outfit......
Underneath the picture are three words: spit.
Gao Qian snorted, and then felt speechless.
This little girl's mischievous method of cursing made him feel like child's play. And he believes that neither Zhang Wu nor Gui Xiaoqian will give people the opportunity to spit on them.
It seems that this "Beginner Witch Guidebook" is still too rudimentary, and the high dive throws it aside, wraps his arms around it, and ponders.
Assuming that Zhang's inference is correct, the black light on their bodies is a manifestation of a curse. If it's not a curse, at least there's a strong negative energy.
The black light on Zhang Wu and Gui Xiaoqian's bodies looks like the same thing, but there is a qualitative difference because of the difference in quantity.
For Zhang, the black light brought only her own bad luck, which indeed seemed like a common curse. And Gui Xiaoqian is more bizarre, the black light on her body has affected a certain range, and can even change the local weather. And she herself seems to be unharmed, except that she is not welcomed?
And she hadn't seen her for a few days, how did she bring such a powerful curse on herself? According to her, she had been staying at home for the past few days and had not gone out. The only possibility is that this curse has existed before, but it has only suddenly erupted in the past few days.
But why? What induces the curse to erupt?
Gao Qian racked his brains and couldn't come up with an answer.
The next day, Gao Qian went to work with dark circles under his eyes.
Zhang Wu, who was sitting opposite him, also looked depressed, she didn't wear makeup today, but she looked a lot more pure, and the originally complicated braided hair was also put down, fluffily piled on her shoulders.
The two yawned at each other, then looked at each other speechlessly.
"I didn't sleep well because of insomnia, why did you?" asked Zhang.
"Same as you. Gao Qian replied by glancing at the black light shrouded in the bone carving on her chest. The black light is still the size of a basketball, and it doesn't look like it's going to continue to expand. Very good, he was really afraid that Zhang Wu's black light would eventually become as huge as Gui Xiaoqian's.
A roar came from the boss's office, Zhang Wu glanced back and grimaced at Gao Qian: "Early this morning, all the project managers were called in one by one and scolded, I think it will be your turn soon." ”
"I'm not a manager. "At least not yet. Gao Qian thought a little weakly, the last time he was absent from an important project presentation meeting, the boss didn't have time to find him trouble, should he make up for it together today?
"Do you want me to lend you my amulet to avoid disaster?" Zhang Yu joked.
Gao Qian's heart moved: "Okay, are you willing?"
Zhang Wu was slightly stunned, suddenly raised her hand and took off the talisman around her neck, took out a document bag from the drawer, put the bone carving talisman into it, and handed it to Gao Qian: "You are right, this talisman did not bring me any good luck, maybe it is not suitable for me, but the things of the five thousand oceans, it is a pity to throw it away, you can keep it for me for the time being." If it can help you with the disaster, that's the best, if not, you haven't touched it, and it won't do you any harm. ”
Gao Qian thought that it would take a lot of effort to persuade Zhang Yu to take off this talisman, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. He looked at the amulet that was still emitting a faint black light through the kraft paper, smiled slightly, and took it: "Okay, just keep it with me first, thank you, Zhang Wu." ”
After removing the amulet, Zhang Wu seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and her expression suddenly relaxed. At this time, a young man from the technical department came over and said with a hippie smile: "Sister Beauty, are you busy?" ”
Zhang Wu, who had been neglected by her colleagues for several days, flashed a trace of joy on her face, and then said with a straight face: "Why are you looking for me, doesn't your group have its own artwork?"
"Our group of artists took a leave of absence today, besides, you did it quickly and well, I don't look for you to find anyone, do you, do you? I invite you to lunch, as a thank you, how about it?" the young man said enthusiastically.
Gao Qian heard Shang Ke on the side staring at the screen in front of him and snorted softly: "The drunkard doesn't mean to drink." ”
Gao Qian smiled, looked down at the file bag in his hand, and stuffed it into his computer bag. What the hell is going on with this bone carving, he thinks someone might know the answer.
