Chapter 63: Casualties
It was already dark, and Ferrin was walking around Conston with an oil lamp in hand, looking for the strange corpse.
Smack!
He stepped into a house that had been shattered by the fierce fighting, and saw a humanoid corpse.
The corpse was dressed in tattered clothes and had a turquoise skin.
There are fangs in the mouth that are exposed, and they are extremely hideous.
In addition to its eyes, there is actually a blood-red eye in the center of its eyebrows.
"Contact Mystery, Mystic Points Plus 0.3."
He walked over, and immediately there was a text in front of him that quickly appeared and disappeared.
This is a strange corpse, but it's a pity, because the death time is too long, the extraordinary power on the body is scattered and transferred, and there are only a few remains, which only brings him a mystery point of 0.3.
Turning around, he prepared to leave.
Suddenly, words appeared and disappeared quickly again in front of him.
"Contact Mystery, Mystic Points Plus 3.1."
Seeing the words that appeared and disappeared quickly, he stopped, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.
“……”
There is no second monstrous corpse in the room, and a new hint will appear, which could only be due to the fact that something else has triggered the panel.
Now he knows that the ones that can trigger the panel and make it react are weird, cultist, and cursed things.
The two possibilities of weirdness and cultists are ruled out, and the reason can only be curses.
"I didn't expect my luck to be good!"
In the process of searching for the strange corpse, Ferrin discovers.
Like him, there are many mystics who search for strange corpses all over the city, including those of the Security Bureau and other mysterious organizations, and his behavior does not seem to be out of the ordinary.
It's not that these people are like him, who can get mystery points through strange corpses, but these people are looking for cursed things.
There are more than two hundred strange fangs used to arrange the Great Red Sacrifice, and so many strange deaths, even according to probability, will inevitably give birth to cursed things.
While most cursed objects have strong side effects, and those who do not practice the Eye of Arcane Identification will pay a huge price to use, this does not affect the value of the cursed object in any way.
In addition to being used as an extraordinary item, the cursed object can also be used as a material for arcane enlightenment rituals and alchemy items.
These two ways of using it guarantee the value of the cursed thing.
So, after speculating that a cursed thing might be born, many mystics began to look for it.
He didn't expect that he would be so lucky that he would encounter a cursed thing.
"Identification Eye!"
He used the Eye of Identification, and the hole in his right eye turned blue.
In front of his eyes, the objects in the room appeared one after another, and the introductory text appeared one after another.
In order to find a cursed object, the average mystic master can only touch it with his hands one by one, and after the cursed object comes into contact with the body, it can generate a sensing property to determine whether it is a cursed thing.
"One Sword Alone"
But unlike him, who has the Eye of Identification, he doesn't need to be so troublesome, he only needs to use the Eye of Identification's ability to find the curse.

……
Fei Lin's gaze swept over the introductory text of the items in the room one by one, and when he saw the introductory text of one of the items, his gaze froze.
"Found it!"
He walked over and picked it up.
It was an ordinary ring, at least to Ferrin's professional eye.
The material is ordinary silver, and there are no gemstones.
The workmanship is also very ordinary, except that on the front of the ring, the shape of a flower is engraved.
The carving technique has no spirituality, it can only be regarded as a mediocre one, and it should be made by some unknown jewelry craftsman.
And it was such an ordinary object that became a precious curse.
For humans, there is a distinction between high and low, but for extraordinary powers, there is obviously no such distinction, and the probability of parasitism is the same for all objects.
Ferrin looked carefully at the floating text next to the ring.
Type: Cursed
Name: Soul Ring
Grade: Type I
Extraordinary ability: Can unleash soul attacks, inflicting soul damage on enemies.
Side effects: A large amount of blood will be drawn from the target when used, which will most likely cause the target to die due to blood loss.
Post-weakening side effects: Drawing blood from the target may cause the subject to become unconscious due to anemia
"What a serious side effect!"
Seeing the side effects of this cursed thing, Fehrin raised an eyebrow, it was the most serious side effect cursed thing he had ever seen.
The side effect of yesterday's clock is that every half hour of use will randomly lose half a month's memory.
Although memory loss occurs, because of the relevance of memory, as long as it is not used for a long time, there will be no critical memory loss.
The side effect of the Mad Fang is that it will lose its rationality and turn into a mad beast after using it.
Although it will lose its reason and become like a beast, at least it is not life-threatening, and as long as the user is knocked unconscious, the user can recover.
And this cursed thing in front of you, after using it, is very likely to cause the death of the user.
Such side effects are far stronger than yesterday's bell and mad fangs, and even among the many cursed things, they must be extremely serious side effects.
"The ability is what I am desperately lacking, but unfortunately the side effects are too serious."
"Even after the weakened eye of identification, blood can be drawn and cause anemia and coma."
Fei Lin shook his head in his heart.
Although the mysterious spear is powerful, it can't hurt ghosts and other weirdness, and the extraordinary ability of the Soul Ring can completely make up for this weakness of his.
It's just that the side effects are too strong, even if it is the side effect of anemia and coma, it is not something he can accept.
He won't use the curse until the Eye of Identification has been upgraded to a higher level and the side effects have been weakened to a lower level.
To avoid losing it, he wore the ring on the little finger of his left hand.
Then, he left the place and headed elsewhere to find the monstrous corpse.
……
In the middle of the night, the secret magicians of the Security Bureau, including Fei Lin, returned to the Security Bureau one after another.
Five bodies were placed side by side on stretchers in an open space of the Security Service.
Some corpses have hideous wounds, while others have become mutilated......
Fei Lin and the others, who had returned to the Security Bureau, came here and looked at the five corpses in silence.
Since it is a battle, it is inevitable that people will die.
These five corpses were the mystical mages who died in the Security Bureau.
