Book 716 Combining Magic and the Curse of Resurrection
Shortly after the only remaining demon in the Devil's Supper escaped, a nocturnal Fiat pulled up to the side of the road on the national highway leading from the outskirts of the town to the neighboring city. There was a man and a woman in the car, the man was in his forties, middle-aged and fat, and the hairline was in crisis, and the woman was a young and beautiful girl who came from a town that didn't even have a fast food restaurant.
The two had planned to drive to Linshi for the weekend, but they lived in a small town and only occasionally went for a short walk. After all, the town is full of familiar people, and they can't have fun on a rare weekend, and they always have to be careful for fear of being bumped into by the real wife or her gossip sister. Men have already encountered something similar once.
The woman is a junior, and in order to escape from her hometown, she came to a small town with the help of relatives. After working a few jobs and not being very happy, she met this man who didn't have much success in his career, so she was raised by him. The woman knows very well that she looks average, and she can only rely on her young body to attract this kind of man. However, the man driving the car was clutching his heart, and his expression was extremely painful, as if he had a heart attack.
As a junior, she is panicking now. If something happens to a man, and the two years of youth she invested in him have no return, not to mention the police questioning, it will make her feel that it is the end of the world, and she doesn't want others to know that she is that kind of woman.
The man eventually died, and the woman even heard the sound of the man's heart bursting, and she wondered if she had heard it wrong. She called 120 two minutes ago, thinking that she would be able to save the day, but she didn't expect the man's body to last even two minutes.
She was panicked now, not knowing what to do, let alone facing a corpse.
Just when her heart was blocked by a huge rock, so that she could not even breathe, someone knocked on the window of the car. Outside the door stood a man who seemed to have popped out of an old European movie. He was smiling at her.
It is natural for a woman to think that this person saw her car parked on the side of the road and came up to help her, which is not common.
She rolled the window and cried out for help, "My man has a heart attack, and he obviously doesn't have this problem." This gentleman. Do you have any medicine handy?"
The woman seems to have forgotten that the man who stopped struggling is dead, and she prefers to believe that the man is just unconscious.
The foreign man smiled, handed over a cup that seemed to be made of something like crystal, with water in it, and pointed to the woman in the car at the man who was already dying.
"You're going to let me feed him water?"
The woman began to feel that the situation was a little weird, but now she was completely out of idea and didn't know what she should do. Suddenly a person ran out and ordered her to do something, and she agreed without thinking about it.
Just as she was about to pick up the man and bring the cup to his mouth. The foreign man gave her a push on the back. Water from the quilt spilled on the man's face.
The water emitted a glow on the man's face, illuminating the interior of the car. When the woman saw this scene, she fell headlong and lay on the man's shoulder. She's dead.
After the glow of the water faded, the man woke up. He found that the woman next to him was gone, and he only remembered that his heart was cramping, and that was the end of it.
Just as he was in a daze, there was a knock on the car window. Outside the door, there was a man who seemed to have popped out of an old European movie, smiling at him.
As a man who has half a foot in eternal life. Zhou Shu also made two phone calls between Senior Sister Guò An and his mother today to confirm that he still has some relatives to worry about and take care of.
It's only been two years since he got the library key, and the whole world has turned upside down in his head. The suffering of eternal life that Hannah has always longed to escape, Zhou Shu himself does not find annoying. Maybe it's because he hasn't encountered the kind of situation that requires him to walk on the bottom of the sea for a hundred years, and he hasn't been arrested and tortured.
He longed to live in this world forever, despite the troubles. Every day is busy, but he feels that he will never feel that eternal life is a bad thing for him. At the same time, he is also very clear that his current thoughts should only be temporary. If you can really live like Hannah for 2,000 years, you will probably get bored with life.
Despite having a good impression of eternal life. But Zhou Shu doesn't want the people around him to live forever. He didn't think that eternal life was bad for the people around him, but he was a little worried that the kind of life suffering in Hannah's mouth would happen to the people around him because of his own choices.
Debbie lives in the Gray Witch's apartment, sleeps in a room by herself, and complains about the damp quilt. Zhou Shu slept in the same bed with Yang Xi all night, which was obviously not right, but he didn't want to sleep on the floor, and he didn't feel that he had any need to avoid this girl with Yang Xi.
As it turns out, sometimes it's better to avoid this kind of thing. Yang Xi was very dishonest when he slept, and grabbed the quilt, and wrapped himself in a cocoon with the quilt as soon as he fell asleep. Zhou Shu believes that it will definitely be more comfortable to choose to sleep on the floor.
Yang Xi's body had stopped growing, and Yu Feiniao was sure of this. As a modified person, although physical strain occurs, the amplitude is very slow, and it can almost be regarded as stationary.
Because she had a strong sense of being in bed this night, Zhou Shu couldn't sleep, so she thought about her future in her mind. Zhou Shu is planning to find a chance for this guy to go to college, after all, the school is a place to practice and improve himself, not exactly a pre-job training base or a entry ticket.
He couldn't find a job at all in the major he chose, and he didn't even think about relying on his profession to eat, which was a hobby. Zhou Shu hopes that Yang Xi will find his interest and then take it seriously. There is no need to contain any utilitarianism, the kind of 'learning is good for you' Zhou Shu couldn't say it, he just thought that Yang Xi should like college.
If it was possible, he would like to let this girl go abroad to see, whether it is North Africa or Western Europe, or the country west of the White Moon Country, it doesn't matter. If she can't find something she's interested in, these journeys should help her. However, considering the internationalist feelings, he doesn't plan to let Yang Xi cause trouble abroad, so it's better to forget about studying abroad.
Yang Xi's sleeping habits can be regarded as putting herself into the pit, she likes the current days of eating and waiting for death very much, and she is completely unaware that someone is considering letting her go to school-
Because of Debbie's relationship with those phone calls. Zhou Shu decided to find out the demon and kill it. But for finding a demon, this kind of thing, naturally, he is not good at it. Fortunately, his mother gave him a clue, that is, the family that inexplicably all died at the same time.
Zhou Shi did not tell his son the address of the family, but his son was not in a hurry. Be prepared to wait by the network for a while, and you should soon know something from the news.
Early in the morning, Debbie yawned and walked out of her room, ready to leave.
She is a person with a great sense of justice, strictly speaking, about half of these magicians who have come from all over the world are people like her, and the remaining half have been found to investigate the disappearance of the city.
Debbie is now penniless and undocumented, and it is almost impossible to move an inch in this country. But she wasn't prepared to turn to the embassy either.
Yesterday, more than 100 people fell from the building, but she saw it from news reports. If this time find the embassy. It's basically a self-throwing net.,It's strange if you're not surrounded and asked for ten hours.,Will you be restricted from freedom after that.。
She was having a headache about not having money, although it wasn't that she couldn't ask Zhou Shu for help, but she had to wait for him to get up.
In the living room, Debbie was very unceremoniously eating the snacks Yang Xi bought last night, and ate without even brushing her teeth, which was quite fresh to her.
Zhou Shu didn't sleep much all night. In the morning, I was a little dazed, and I was about to fall asleep. As a result, Yang Xi got up early, lay down in the quilt and asked Zhou Shu to tell her about the Eighth World.
Due to the total amount of mana supporting over there, Zhou Shu was not very sleepy even if he didn't sleep, but the feeling of being interrupted by this drowsiness was still very bad.
Following Yang Xi's meaning, he talked about the situation in the West Country and said something about the Moon God. Finally, I talked about the love story on Apple Island.
In exchange, Yang Xi also revealed some very interesting things, all of which she pestered Yu Asuka to ask about the Fourth World.
The Fourth World, occupied by the living humans, is a fairly peaceful place, but it is a bit miserable for small animals. It's a unified world there. All countries and nationalities have been integrated into one, and the Chinese language has even begun to be widely spoken.
From the situation described by Yang Xi, it is similar to India and the Americas, which were colonized by Europe. However, the attitude of the locals towards outsiders is extremely friendly to the living people.
The Fourth World is too boring in Yang Xi's opinion, and it is far less exciting than the Eighth World. Zhou Shu is very sure that the land under his feet is definitely the most exciting, and all the situations that have killed people so far have happened here.
He has now figured it out, if he is unlucky, one of his mother's relatives will encounter the Holy Grail and use it, and he will not think about what is immortal or not, and it is estimated that he will hang up in an instant.
While chatting with Yang Xi in bed, she used her mobile phone to search the Internet. Luckily, he found the report on the death of the whole family early in the morning, and the writer also wrote irresponsibly the words 'located in a certain Yang family in Guangyi Community, Shengli Street'.
After Zhou Shu found the report, he didn't bother to chat with the little girl anymore, so he pulled her off the bed and prepared to go out for a walk after washing up.
When the two of them came out of a room, they saw Debbie drinking milk and eating potato chips, and she was not afraid of feeding her badly.
Debbie looked at the two of them with a ** look, Zhou Shu stared at her fiercely, and warned: "This is my daughter, you clean up your brain for me!"
"I know you Chinese have this kind of plot, adopted daughter and godfather, right?" Debbie's messy Chinese worked at this time.
Zhou Shu really couldn't talk nonsense with her, it would be bad to embarrass Yang Xi, so he grabbed his mobile phone and took out the news to show Debbie.
"Well, let's go investigate with me. Whatever you eat. ”
He naturally knew that Debbie was cornered, so he grabbed the strong man and was unscrupulous. At this time, Turrell came out of the room, she heard Zhou Shu's words, and raised her hand to indicate that she would also follow.
Turrell wants to continue to move around this world, she knows very well that she must be accompanied by a guardian when she goes out, and that person can only be Zhou Shu, so she must follow him.
"Oh well. Master Zhou looked at Debbie, "I don't need you anymore, just have Turrell with me." ”
Debbie said it didn't matter. Then he mustered up the courage to stretch out his hand to Zhou Shu, "I need you to lend me a little money." ”
Zhou Shu didn't have time to make things difficult for her, and he didn't plan to play poor when others were unlucky, so he emptied his pocket and gave her all the money he got from Yu Feiniao, which was enough for Debbie to buy herself a normal dress and carry out an investigation by the way.
She's going to pull out the chalice here. She expressed her gratitude for the generosity of the man in front of her.
"Thank you very much, I will bring you useful clues. ”――
Debbie's so-called useful clues took ten days to come up as promised.
For ten days, Zhou Shu wandered around the small city for ten days, and he didn't find anything useful.
In those 10 days, there were no fatalities, not a single case. Although several similar tragedies were discovered after the tragic experience of the 'Yang family', it can be determined that these people died at the same time as the 'Yang family'.
According to the survey. All of these people are related by blood, or almost all those who are related to these people are dead. The reason why I use the word 'almost' is because some of them are not connected at all, and they are considered missing.
These things were computer masters under the hands of the Fool store manager, eating twisted flowers, and it took a full half a minute to retrieve them from the database of the local police station.
The event file is updated with something new every day, just like the online article. But it all looks pretty much the same, it's all useless information.
Something that really works. Basically, it was almost discovered in the first two days after the incident, such as the time of the crime, which was shortly after Yang Xi's super shockwave was thrown. From the perspective of time, it can basically be concluded that this is a 'Holy Grail Murder Incident', but what makes Zhou Shu depressed. He wondered if it would be a 'serial killing'. As a result, the murderer also played such a game, and then disappeared completely.
Ten days later, the Gray Witch called, bringing new news to the helpless Master Zhou.
"I've helped you secretly investigate the magic fluctuations in the sky above your city. There are two messages for you. ”
"Well, when I think about it, listen to the good or the bad first. Zhou Shu sighed with his chin in the gray witch's apartment. Next to him is Turel, who is grabbing a mobile phone to play rhythm master, this guy is already more slippery than Zhou Shu.
The Grey Witch said apologetically, "There is no good news, I have two bad news for you. ”
"Great. Zhou Shu smiled bitterly, "I don't need to worry about the choice." ”
The gray witch is actually quite sympathetic to Zhou Shu, she is busier than herself all day long, and she has no money to make, and there are a lot of things in the backyard of her home.
She went to find Nattie in the past two days and asked about the situation in the West Country and the little queen's mental state. Nati is not familiar with the Gray Witch, although the Gray Witch once lay on the side of the road while crying and pulling grass to eat because of her death, but that is a matter of another timeline.
According to Nattie's feedback, the queen has not eaten for seven days since she received the news that Zhou Shu disappeared and was likely to die with the guardian saint of the enemy country, and she got the news seven days ago.
No one would think that the queen would die of hunger strike, but she still didn't have a good life in the next half month.
The two pieces of bad news about the Grey Witch are actually pretty much the same. First of all, she was sure that there was someone in the town who was using magic on a large scale, and that magic was probably with the Satanic Grail.
The second piece of bad news is a bit more specific, and judging by the properties of those magics, it seems to be divided into two types. The Grey Witch hired some clever helpers with money. After testing, I figured out the specific content of the magic.
While this may seem like good news, unfortunately, the detected magic is very worrying.
"I'm telling you now, you'd better be prepared, it's likely that you've been cursed by resurrection magic by now......"
Zhou Shu was about to cry when he heard this. He had thought that he would be safe these days, and that he could stay up until the end of the holiday and go back to the safety of the Eighth World, but now it's okay, the bad news about the Gray Witch is really bad.
According to the Grey Witch's investigation, there are two types of magic that are frequently used in the skies over the town. But the combination of these two things has the same effect.
Since Zhou Shu is a white man in magic, the gray witch explained in a more general way, but it is easy to understand: "To put it simply, someone uses two kinds of magic to combine into a combination of magic to use. I'll now sue you for its effects. You'd better be mentally prepared. ”
Zhou Shu had never seen the Gray Witch have such an appetite, which means that the situation is really not good, otherwise she wouldn't have to be so careful.
As it turned out, such caution was unnecessary. No matter how soft the tone was, the despair that the effect of that magic had brought to Zhou Shu could not be washed away.
The so-called combination magic is a combination of healing magic and resurrection magic. Healing magic is the main body. During these ten days, the Holy Grail treated many people in the small town. At the same time, those who are treated are given a chance to come back from the dead.
In other words, these healed people have been resurrected, but the magic has not yet taken effect. As long as they are in danger or dying, the resurrection magic will instantly put them back on their feet and give them a new life. After that, those who were related to him and who had already suffered the curse of the resurrection at this time. All will die with his resurrection!
After hearing this, Zhou Shu was already clear. It's like rabies, it has an incubation period. The incubation period is the same as rabies, some can be incubated for three to five days, and some can be incubated for ten years......
The Grey Witch said that the people she paid for were absolutely reliable, and to give an inappropriate example, asking them to do this kind of work is like asking a math professor to do math problems at the elementary school level. You can't go wrong.
"Thank you for hitting me so perfectly and hard......"
When Zhou Shu heard this, he was already a little desperate. Healing a sick is not the same as resurrecting the dead. Not every household has a dead person who can be resurrected, and this kind of topic is quite absurd, and I am afraid that not many people will touch it. But healing magic and resurrection buff are different.,Who doesn't have a small disaster and a small disease.,Myopia is also a disease.,For example, your mother has gastroenteritis.。
In case the Holy Grail finds her. Treated her a little...... Zhou Shu didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The Grey Witch says that the 'Math Professor' she's recruited is making magic items that can detect if someone has been cursed by resurrection magic, and that it will take a while to produce results.
If Zhou Shu is really cursed, it doesn't matter. It's a big deal to check out the relatives, find the person who has been cured, and let Yu Feiniao give him an immortality.
Hearing the words of the gray witch, Zhou Shu was in a much better mood.
"There is still this way...... You are really smart...... Thank you. ”
It was the first time that Zhou Shu thanked the gray witch so sincerely, and he was crying when he spoke, and Turrell was also after playing a game, staring at the unpromising guy next to him with an unknown face.
In addition to the bad news, the Gray Witch also has some things that Zhou Shu needs to help with. He wanted to know about the man who made the Satanic Grail, and he needed the name and age of the person, and it seemed that Debbie knew these things, and she wanted to talk to Debbie.
The hired workers said that this kind of magic was definitely not made by a fallen magician, and that the technology content of making it into a magic item was at least the highest in the world at the beginning of the twentieth century.
This kind of person is definitely a master of magic, a royal magician and an academy tutor, and it is impossible for him to go to ordinary humans to be some stupid heretical master.
Their attitude is very clear, thinking that this master has absolutely some reason and plan for doing so many things, and not simply joking there.
Zhou Shu had little interest in this kind of research, and now that he had determined that the Holy Grail was doing evil by curing other people's diseases, he naturally had a new target for his investigation, and he could get back to work.
Debbie will be back from the investigation, and she still has nothing to gain today. Zhou Shu's investigation is basically to take Yang Xi and Turrell around the world, and Debbie does the work as if she were filming an American drama, and she also bought a large whiteboard and a box of tiles to sort out clues, and she almost tattooed a map on her body.
The call was handed over to her, and Zhou Shu told the gray witch that he could tell this guy about the current bad situation, and there was no need to shy away from it.
After ten years of contact with this guy, Zhou Shu was sure that she was a simple person with no bad intentions, and some things made her ignorant
It's okay to know some, maybe she can help with the investigation later. (To be continued......)
