Chapter 290: Bad News Comes

After reorganizing ARK and establishing two subsidiaries to determine the development direction of software and hardware respectively, Alex completely let it go.

He doesn't have much to do with money now!

In someone's words, the money he earned was enough to spend a few lifetimes casually!

At this time, the rich usually turn to the pursuit of social status and power! It's just that Alex has also done a good job in these two aspects, his influence in society is already very large, and his actual status is much higher than those who often show their faces in the newspapers.

Money and status are no longer pursued, and for some people, it seems that life will become boring.

Actually, no, Alex never lets himself get bored. He has the ability to entertain himself!

This ability is so important that if you can't entertain yourself, you will feel like you're in hell even if you're in heaven.

Now he's entertaining himself, and he's concocting a computer game that's actually very simple to play, just stacking falling blocks on top of each other. These blocks come in a variety of shapes and cannot be moved once they fall to the bottom, only rotating or moving when they fall in the air.

When there are no spaces left in a row, the blocks in that row are removed.

Yes, this game is the famous Tetris! Of course, in this world, it's no longer called that name.

Originally, Alex wanted to call it "Mary Cube" or something, but after thinking about it, it was too stupid. It's better to call it "Block Game". It sounds more intuitive and pleasing to the ear.

The game is so easy to pick up and play that it quickly attracts people's attention!

Alex remembered to make this game, but it was just to pass his boring time! But he didn't expect it to be so powerful, and it soon set off a wave of block game craze in the world.

Just like the hula hoop craze at the beginning, the trend of block games has spread all at once, especially for those companies that use computers to work, and whenever employees have a break time, there will be a large group of people gathered around to watch or play.

Alex returns home to find Richard and Karen both playing a game of blocks! They play in tournament mode. See who can't hold on first. Who will win the most victorious!

Seeing them shouting, Alex scratched his head: "Is this game so charming?" ”

He underestimated the gameplay of the block game, and for people in this era, such a classic and fun computer game will never get tired of playing.

Microsoft Corporation at Alex's behest. They have organized people to develop game software running on various PCs. For those who are new to the game. The creativity and playability of the game is paramount. They are able to do so in situations where the hardware conditions are terrible. Create game software that maximizes gameplay.

As soon as these game software hit the market, many gamers bought them back. Seeing this situation, some software companies have transformed to make games!

A lot of game software is made. It enriches the entertainment life of people in this era.

Alex wants this effect, and when he has free time, he picks out games that look good to play.

Originally, he thought that his days would be spent playing games and shopping with beautiful women every day, but what he didn't expect was that a big event happened.

A sudden event almost destroyed their Carpenter family!

Things started out simple, but one night, Alex suddenly had a nightmare.

In the dream, he seemed to see a pair of blood-red eyes, staring at him. At the same time, some terrible voices were heard, and it seemed that hundreds of people were shouting in their ears!

Ever since Alex had practiced his kung fu to the level of dark energy, he had rarely dreamed. Especially after practicing the Immortal Dao Breathing Technique with Lao Dao, his control over himself has reached a whole new level.

Even if he closes his eyes, he can clearly sense the people around him! From his senses, every life is a fluctuation. There are big and small, strong and weak! He could even feel the creatures dozens of meters away, and after infinitely magnifying his perception, it was an experience of the unity of nature and man.

Every breath he takes, his body gets stronger little by little! He can jump higher, run faster, and see farther!

Sometimes, he even wondered if he would become stronger and stronger if he continued like this, and eventually become a superman in reality!

As for his own abilities and mental problems, he also clearly felt the change.

One of the changes is that whenever he wants to fall asleep, he easily falls into a deep sleep. It was a kind of sleep without dreams at all!

However, on this night, an accident happened! He felt an evil and cold spiritual energy, through some unknown channel, invading his spiritual realm.

It's a curse!

When Alex came to his senses, he immediately got a more accurate judgment from his own knowledge.

As for what type of curse it is, he doesn't know very well.

As for the abilities of the supernatural realm, he is still a rookie who is half-understood! Although he has a super learning ability, he is still a little too tender compared to these monsters who have lived for hundreds of years in the face of Lao Dao.

Although he didn't know what type of curse he had, he wasn't out of the way to stop it. The curse seemed to go on and on, trying to invade when he was least prepared.

Now that Alex is awake, naturally there will be no problems, and even if he falls asleep in the future, he will have a way to erect a mental defense to keep it out.

Originally, he thought it was just a trivial matter, but what happened next made him feel that this matter was not simple.

On the phone, Alex learned that his father, younger siblings, all had a cold and fever on the same day!

"I don't think I have had a flu or anything lately, right?" Alex thought to himself, and he had an ominous premonition. It's like a cloud covering the sky, and it makes people's mood worse.

At this time, Alex had already moved out of the city to live, and after learning the news of his family's illness, he hurried back to visit.

Unexpectedly, I didn't know the road without looking at it, and I was shocked when I saw it.

The Carpenter family, except for Alex and his mother Angel, all have a strange disease. At first, they thought it was a cold and fever. But after a while. But the body became hot and cold!

The human body is a delicate instrument, and when the temperature of the body cannot be kept constant, it will immediately affect the normal life of ordinary life.

Bart fell first, and he was nearly fifty and nearly sixty this year. The body is no longer as strong as it used to be. In front of this little problem. He soon couldn't bear it. He was taken to the hospital for treatment.

As for Richard and Karen, they still look like normal people, but look at the faces of them. It should be reluctant. Some doctors have already recommended that both of them be hospitalized early. However, the two of them were very reluctant and still had to work sick.

"We don't want to be in bed like a sick person because of this little problem!" Richard shook his head and refused the doctor's request.

Karen thinks the same way, she doesn't want to be restricted in her personal freedom.

For the nervousness of the people around them, they think it's too much of a fuss. Alex didn't think so, but he didn't think it would help him to be hospitalized, so he had to give up.

"Alex! What's going on? When Angel saw his eldest son, he felt a little relied on it. Now in the Carpenter family, Alex is the pillar of support, as long as he has no problems, then everything is fine.

To this day, Angel still thinks that this is just an ordinary flu that was accidentally infected.

"How come I haven't been infected?" Sometimes, Angel thinks so in her heart.

"It's going to be fine!" Alex reassured her that this was the only way to do this.

This is definitely not a contagion of a cold virus, it's a curse! Alex didn't sense any abnormal energy in his loved ones, but he was already sure that it was caused by supernatural power.

And this force is so high that Alex can't find its source.

For the sake of his family's safety, he had to use the "Ring of Power" to ask for help. Soon, the Freemasons sent a master who was well-versed in curses.

The master looked like a university professor, dressed as a scholar. It was completely different from Alex's imagination, he thought that the so-called master must be the kind of spirited abnormal human who was strange and strange.

When the master came to the hospital, he walked around the ward a few times and then stopped in one direction. He looked thoughtfully in the direction, then walked a few steps to the bed.

At this time, Bart had a low-grade fever and began to lose consciousness. Even Richard and Karen are lying down, unable to live like normal people. This made Alex feel so bad that he swore to kill the man who had cast the curse!

The master reached out and touched Bart's forehead, then closed his eyes and felt it for a while, and said: "This is a curse released by a vampire, this curse will have an effect on both the target and the target's immediate family, and this effect is reflected in the cold and fever that do not stop, and no matter how you cure it, it will not be good." In fact, the real reason is because their lives are passing all the time! ”

At this time, in the ward, apart from Bart and the Master, there is only Alex. When he heard this, he was astonished: "Can this curse be lifted?" ”

"This curse is unleashed with the vampire's own life! For every life you lose, the vampire consumes a little bit of life. The master explained with a serious expression, "The only way to get rid of it is for the vampire to die, otherwise ......."

It's like this, and I don't know which vampire has such hatred for their Carpenters!

Walter? Disney?

No, this guy has turned to ashes! It's impossible to come out again to make a fuss!

Could it be John? Rockefeller?

This makes no sense, the Carpenter family has no conflict of interest with the Rockefeller family. Besides, John is Alex's test supervisor, and the two are more closely connected, so it shouldn't be him who did this.

As for Jennis, that doesn't make sense. Alex has been very nice to her, and Janis has always been obedient! Now that she is a member of Alex's secret army, it is impossible for her to betray the Carpenter family.

However, Alex didn't know anyone other than these vampires! Not to mention clash with them, which led to such a vicious curse. According to the master, this curse is released with vampire life, and at first glance it is a lose-lose spell, even if the vampire's life can be restored through bloodsucking, but this is not a small price.

Without waiting for Alex to ask, the Master continued to explain, "This curse is what we call the 'Blood Curse'! When a vampire catches a target, the curse can be cast on that target! Then, the descendants of this target will be indirectly implicated, and will also have to bear a part of the power of the curse. ”

Speaking of this, the master looked at Alex, nodded and said, "Yes, you are also cursed!" However, your physical fitness is very strong, and your mental strength is also very strong! To be able to resist to a certain extent, because the lives you lose are simply not worth mentioning relative to the speed at which you recover! ”

"That's why I'm safe, isn't it?"

"So far, but will you be able to keep this health recovery alive forever? It is important to know that humans are not vampires, and will always be hurt, weakened, and aging...... Once your health recovery can't keep up, you'll develop signs of a cold and fever. Just like your father and siblings, gradually the disease will get worse and worse, and eventually it will ......."

Alex nodded and said, "I see, it's just a matter of time!" So do you know who will release this curse? ”

The master shook his head and sighed, "I don't know ...... Dao either."

"Yes! That's a real bother. ”

"Actually, what strikes me as strange is that this curse spell hasn't been seen for a long time......"

The master's words made Alex lift his spirits, and he hurriedly asked, "What is it for?" Doesn't that mean that vampires will unleash this curse? ”

"Naturally not! I've only seen this curse in the war records of ancient legends, and since the Poison Count Cain was sealed, the new generation of vampires don't know about this curse spell. ”

Cain, Earl of Poison!

I see, I should have thought it was him a long time ago! Could it be that the eyes seen in the dream were the eyes of the Poison Earl Cain peeping?

Alex was shocked, but he didn't show it. After all, the master in front of him is actually only a peripheral member of Freemasonry, not a person in the circle, so he doesn't know the latest news from Cain, the Earl of Poison.

"Thank you!" Alex already knew what was going on, so he planned to send the master out.

After sending off the master, Alex immediately contacted John through special means. Rockefeller, Lao Dao and others. In the contact message, he said: "One hundred thousand urgent! Cain, the Earl of Poison, has awakened, and he is the spellcaster! (To be continued......)
