Chapter 118: The Cursed
Sharon, who was wearing a black court dress, pursed her bloodless lips slightly, glanced sideways at Marić, and nodded lightly.
Marić clasped his hands together and said with a hint of madness:
"You should know the 'prisoner' pathway, right?"
"Yes, heard in extraordinary circles. Klein replied calmly.
Of course, this extraordinary circle refers to the Nightwatch team and the Tarot Club...... He sighed inwardly and added.
Marić didn't know what he remembered, and was silent for a full dozen seconds, and the sound of the wheels of the carriage running over the concrete pavement came in rhythmically outside the window.
He rubbed his messy brown hair, and his face twisted slightly:
"A prisoner is a person who is imprisoned and a repressive person whose spirituality and desires are bound by reason, body, and the world. ”
"Its corresponding sequence 8 is called 'Crazy', I don't think you know, because even the orthodox Extraordinary Beings of the Seven Great Churches don't know enough about this, that secret organization has more control over its members than you think, and those almost twisted creatures, both body and soul, are like being bound, and it is difficult to get any useful information from them by relying on psychics and divination alone. ”
"Sharon and I also endured for a long time and waited for a long time before we found a way to untie our 'shackles' and successfully escaped. ”
"Since the extraordinary beings of this path are cursed and prone to madness, we do not want to take refuge in the Seven Great Churches, which will completely lose our freedom, and there will be nothing left. ”
So that's it...... It's no wonder that there aren't many records in the internal information of the Night Watcher, not even Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 corresponding to "prisoner", which belongs to the part of my rank that I can know at the time...... Klein replied abruptly:
"I really don't know what happened after the 'prisoners'. ”
Maric did not nod, looked at Klein with brown eyes, and continued:
"Compared with the 'prisoner', the most important characteristic of the 'madman' is that he can sacrifice his reason and explode his desires on his own and on his own initiative, in exchange for strength, and gain improvement in all aspects, except that the mind will become less awake during that time, there is not much problem, and even because of this, he will gain a strong resistance to some extraordinary abilities that interfere with the mind and affect the spirit. ”
To put it simply, if I kill myself first, you won't be able to kill me again...... Klein couldn't help but sneer.
"From this sequence onwards, the curse gradually appears, and the 'madman' is prone to getting out of control. Marić's facial muscles twitched.
Isn't this an obvious thing? If someone's mental state is running at a low point for a long time, or if there are frequent abnormalities, the probability of losing control is not higher than that of other extraordinary people! Klein has his own understanding of this, and glances sideways at Miss Sharon, feeling that it is difficult for him to imagine what the other party looks like in the "prisoner" and "madman" stage, while Sharon still maintains that ghost-like ethereal and quiet state.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Marich slowly exhaled and said:
"The next sequence 7 is, 'Werewolf'. ”
However, in the eyes of normal people, the crazy "prisoners" and the "crazy people" who are easy to lose their minds are actually similar to aliens...... Well, "Werewolf" is only Sequence 7, which is a little lower than I expected...... Crane's thoughts drifted suddenly.
Marić did not notice that he was in a trance, and said to himself:
"The 'werewolf' is already a complete cursed, and every time the red moon becomes round, it loses most of its sanity and grows black hair, and its own desire to kill and bloodlust reaches its peak......"
His voice gradually drifted a little, as if recalling the experience of being patient and suppressing himself.
"The 'werewolf' has a strong self-recovery ability, as well as terrifying strength, agility and speed, his claws and teeth are no worse than extraordinary weapons of the same sequence, and they have their own poison, and he also knows some dark spells, such as controlling the target who has been immersed in the body for a period of time by the werewolf's poison, and turning the other party into a subordinate, turning into a monster similar to a werewolf, and the life of that monster is often very short......"
After listening to Marić, Klein made a pertinent assessment:
At the level of Sequence 7, in terms of actual combat ability, "Werewolf" is considered to be above average.
"The 'werewolf', who is always unable to suppress the desire to kill and bloodthirsty on the night of the full moon, will become more and more ruthless, more and more distorted, and gradually lose the feelings that normal humans should have. Marić added, with a pride in his tone that was hard to hide.
Consistent with Mr. Azik's description of xenomorphs...... Klein subconsciously glanced at Miss Sharon again, instinctively imagining the other party's state when he was "werewolf", but he was almost shivered by the cold eyes, and hurriedly forced his head back.
Marić unconsciously licked his lower lip with his tongue, not the kind of female seduction, but the type that gives people a very dangerous feeling.
His gaze seemed to lose focus for a moment, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He waited a few seconds before he spoke again:
"I'm the corresponding Sequence 6, 'Living Corpse'. ”
Living Corpse ...... It looks like it...... No wonder you often play cards with a bunch of your kind...... It turns out that this is also a xenomorph, a real living corpse...... Klein thought for a moment and said:
"I've heard Caspars say that you're not afraid of bullets?"
Marić nodded and said:
"My body can be as hard as steel, and even if you fire it with a revolver against my head, I will be stunned at most, at least five hits in the same spot, to have the possibility of breaking my defenses. ”
"And even if it is broken, for the 'living corpse', as long as the head is not broken, other injuries are not fatal. ”
"My strength has improved from the 'Werewolf', and I have mastered some death spells, which can easily awaken dead corpses, control ghosts, drive them, and skillfully use the extraordinary powers of cold and decay. ”
The heterogeneous pathway is also different from each sequence, and there are few progressive changes...... Klein groaned:
"So, what about the curse of the 'living corpse'?"
Marić gritted his teeth and said:
"I would crave the warm blood and fresh flesh of the human race, especially during the full moon, and the only consolation was that the curse of the 'living corpse' replaced the curse of the 'werewolf' and the curse of the 'madman', which did not exist at the same time, and so did afterwards. ”
"Every time the red moon becomes full, I will be very miserable, if I don't give up my self-control, I will suffer to the point of losing the ability to fight, and if I indulge myself, I will also become less and less human, and the risk of losing control is very high. ”
"Even in normal times, I am always fighting against the desires in my heart, against strong malice. ”
Whew, compared to the extraordinary ones of this path, the others are much better, except for 'Abyss' and 'Witch'...... Klein came up with the idea.
Marić paused, glancing at Sharon, who was wearing a small black floppy hat.
Sharon opened her lips and said in an illusory voice:
"Sequence 5, 'The Spirit'. ”
Resentful spirits? And this kind of sequence? It's really a different path...... Klein was slightly surprised at first, but then felt that this was indeed in line with the characteristics of the easy transformation between the physical body and the spirit body.
Marić, who was prompted, added:
"When you become a 'Resentful Spirit', you can transform your own state into a real ghost and gain the corresponding abilities, such as passing through obstacles, hiding in mirrors, directly attacking the opponent's soul, and jumping in most places where images can be reflected. ”
"And unlike ordinary resentful spirits, even if they have spiritual vision, they can't find this kind of ghost if they don't reach a high level. ”
"Well, the 'Wraith' has also mastered a lot of death-type spells, and there are a lot of weird techniques, such as forcibly possessing the body and controlling the enemy's ......"
Her curse is that on the night when the red moon turns round, she will either suck a certain number of human souls, or become extremely weak, and choose the former, which means that she chooses to walk on the verge of losing control at all times. ”
Without waiting for Klein to speak, Sharon, whose face was also pale, suddenly said:
"Our target is also 'Resentful Spirits'. ”
"The extraordinary abilities of 'living corpses', 'werewolves', 'madmen' and 'prisoners' are not lost by promotion. Marić emphasized.
It sounds like a very restrained type, I'm afraid that this pistol bullet has no effect, and it's difficult for ordinary flames to burn a lot of damage...... To put it simply, I'm afraid of "ghosts...... Klein listened to the drums a little inside.
He thought for a few seconds and said:
"What is the effect of that sealed item?"
"Why did you restrain you?"
It makes you willing to tell me about your curse and your weaknesses...... Klein probably had some guesses.
Marić replied with a slightly gloomy expression:
"The cursed item that needs to be sealed is called the Crimson Moon Tiara. ”
"It can create a full moon-like effect within a certain range, which is a help of explosive power for those who are already cold and twisted, but we will become weak and incapacitated, and if I give up on myself, then I would rather choose death!" Marić growled hoarsely.
I can't imagine that you, who looks a little perverted and a little cowardly, are also persistent people, well, it is really remarkable to be able to hold on until the "living corpse...... Klein didn't interject, listening to the other party's subsequent description.
"Those who wear the 'Crimson Moon Tiara' are immune to the full moon effect, and will gain terrifying speed, unimaginable recovery ability, and many more powerful dark spells, but it will gradually make the wearer's blood gradually cold, a little bit frozen, and if you don't stop or suck the blood of a living person in time, you will eventually die due to the frost of all blood. Marić seemed to be quite intimidated by the sealed item.
When he finished speaking, Sharon's blue eyes looked at Klein calmly and said:
"Along with Steve are Jason, the 'Living Corpse', and Tyre, the 'Werewolf'. ”
"But as long as they can solve Steve, they're not a problem. ”
Marić added:
"If successful, Steve's extraordinary traits belong to me, the Crimson Moon Tiara belongs to Sharon, and all the remaining loot and the Book of Secrets are your reward. ”
