Smith felt that his body was different. The hot gold coin was now embedded in the palm of his left hand.
The gold coin is on his palm, divided into thin blood vessels, integrated with his palm.
He has been afraid to leave this room these days because he finally understands what this gold coin is.
This is a cursed gold coin, or a gold coin of good fortune and misfortune.
It will suck away other people's luck, and those who lose their luck will be plagued by bad luck and have accidents.
Then the person holding the gold coin will gain the victim's luck, and the gold coin will gain the victim's soul.
But the first person to lose his luck is actually the holder of the gold coin.
From the day Smith obtained gold coins, he was enslaved by gold coins, and bad luck kept happening around him.
When the first victim appeared, Smith regained his luck.
The more victims there were, the better luck Smith had.
But this is not endless, and cursed gold coins cannot store too many souls at once.
So every once in a while, the soul in the cursed gold coin will be released.
Those souls who have lost their luck and been killed by bad luck still cannot be freed.
Even if they are deprived of luck and die, luck still belongs to them.
So when they are exorcised or purified, the part of luck that originally belonged to them will also disappear.
The last time Chen Zhao arrived, he drove away the evil spirits in the abandoned teaching building.
This caused Smith's luck to become extremely bad, and all kinds of troubles and dangers began to surround him.
And it also led to the worst result, he was attached to the cursed gold coin.
The cursed gold coin began to merge with him, and of course, this also led to him finally understanding the origin of the cursed gold coin.
Because the cursed gold coins still retain very ancient souls.
These ancient evil spirits haunt Smith and keep him awake at night.
Brewster appeared in front of Smith again, but at this moment Brewster was full of panic.
Because Brewster appeared in the form of a soul at this moment, he could not resist the cursed gold coin in Smith's hand, and was completely swallowed by the cursed gold coin.
"Let me go... I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."
Brewster's voice echoed in Smith's mind, a wail that would never subside.
…
When Sienna arrived at the scene, she only saw Brewster's body being carried out of the elevator.
Brewster's death was tragic, and Sienna saw David.
"David, David."
"Sienna, why are you here?" David stepped forward.
"What happened here? Why did Principal Brewster die?"
"Elevator accident, the elevator cable broke, and he fell from the twelfth floor. Do you know him?"
"He hired me as a special security consultant at the University of Los Angeles, but there was no employment contract between us, only a verbal agreement." Sienna was devastated. If Brewster died, it would mean that his and Chris's work was ruined.
Sienna added: "I think his death was unusual. At the last moment before he died, he dialed my phone number, but before he could speak, there was an accident."
"You mean he was killed by an evil spirit?"
"It's probably not an evil spirit. After all, evil spirits can't cause chaos and kill people during the day."
"Can you find out the truth about his death?"
"I'm not sure." Sienna said with a solemn face: "Can you give me a copy of his autopsy report?"
"Okay." David nodded.
"I must find out the real culprit!" Sienna gritted her teeth and said, "He destroyed my job!!"
…
"Chen, I got it. I got an invitation letter from the IAAF Diamond League. I can participate in the Diamond League!" Ford called Chen Zhao excitedly.
The predecessor of the Track and Field Diamond League is the Gold League, which is also the highest event in track and field.
It is even more competitive than the Olympics and the competition is more intense.
Every track and field athlete longs to stand on this stage and become the one that attracts all the attention.
In the past, Ford was only a second-rate track and field sprinter in the country, but now, he is a well-known athlete.
"Congratulations, Ford, when does the game start?"
"Starting from May 14th, there will be a total of fourteen stations."
“Are any of the sites hosted in the United States?”
"Yes, June 21st is held in New York. I would be very happy if you could come at that station."
Chen Zhao thought for a while, and it seemed that there was still half a year left.
"If I come, can you break a record and show it to me?"
"I'll try my best... No, I promise."
"Then I'll come."
As Ford's fame grew, he now had more business activities.
However, Ford knows very well that his current results are not enough to make him rich, so he is more focused on training and various competitions.
Chen Zhao did not interfere with this, although allowing him to participate in more business activities would bring more benefits to Chen Zhao.
However, this kind of short-term return benefit does not meet Chen Zhao's demands.
Fishing for the best is the stupidest behavior. Chen Zhao agreed that Ford would not earn him a penny in one year, but would give him a more generous return a year later.
Ford is now a contracted athlete with the CAA agency, and he also has his own agent.
The plan that the CAA agency made for him is mainly to prepare for competition.
Of course, this is not to say that the CAA agency has a conscience, it is just because they want to tap more value from Ford.
As an athlete, his commercial value is entirely reflected in his performance.
Just like an actor, his value is reflected in box office or ratings.
…
"Kate, welcome to the membership."
Kate got to know every member present. This club is called 'Vertical Up', a group of people who challenge climbing high-rise buildings.
Of course Kate has no interest in this. She just hides her career and conducts a secret interview.
However, Rem Holden, the leader of the club, knows her identity because Kate only joined him after giving him money.
The other members were unaware and thought that Kate was also a newbie.
There are two types of high-rise climbing, one is climbing with equipment and the other is climbing without equipment.
Climbing without equipment is relatively more dangerous, and the challenge is illegal in most cases.
Most of the members of the vertically upward society have been in the police station.
Of course, some have gone to the morgue.
"Kate, did you challenge anywhere before joining the club?"
"Well... I'm just a newbie... I don't have the courage to challenge high-rise buildings yet. I've only tried it in the apartment building where I live, which is on the tenth floor."
"For a newcomer, your performance is already very good."
"I heard that you are the most professional high-rise climbing team in Los Angeles, right?"
"Of course." Rem Holden said confidently.
"So as the leader, you should also be the strongest?"
"Well... we are the most professional team in Los Angeles, but I am not the strongest high-rise climber in Los Angeles."
"Why?"
