"I said."
In the quiet room, listening to the voice from the phone, the corner of the young man's mouth twitched. He didn't know what to say at this time: "We really don't want to get involved in this kind of thing anymore."
"Can't you go find someone else?"
"From the moment you told us about this, you are already destined to be unable to escape."
During the phone call, Chen Rou's stern voice came: "That cursed land is bigger and more terrifying than you imagined, and there are many things in it that I couldn't find before."
"In order to obtain the news inside, we have lost dozens of elites."
"Compared to others, the two of you are not only cursers, but also have gone deep into this cursed place, so you are the best candidates."
Hearing this, Liang Xiao's scalp felt a little numb, and he didn't know what to say at this moment.
From the bottom of my heart, neither he nor Yang Cheng would want to get involved in this kind of thing anymore.
In the past, although they would join in the exploration of the cursed land, and obtain the cursed things in it, they were more forced by life.
After all, based on the past situation of the two of them, if they didn't take the initiative to step into it and explore a glimmer of life in it, then they wouldn't be able to live at all.
But now, they really have no idea about it.
At this time now, all the problems on them have been solved, even the curse on Xiaolan's body has been solved, and there is no longer any worries.
Originally, they might have worried that the curse on their bodies would erupt and take their lives away at any time.
But now, with Chen Heng in the church, their worries can completely disappear.
Judging from the previous situation, Chen Heng undoubtedly has the unique power to suppress the curse, and even control the power of the curse.
Even if the curse power in their bodies is out of control, they can still go to find Chen Heng later, and let the other party suppress and get rid of the curse power in their bodies.
For them, they no longer have any intention of exploring, they just want to find a safe place and live a good life.
It's a pity that they don't want to look for trouble, but things keep looking for them.
"I understand your thoughts."
During the phone call, Chen Rou's stern voice sounded, and she said coldly at this moment: "But after entering this circle, you still want to retire safely, it's not that easy."
"As far as the things you have done before, I don't know how many people you have offended."
"As long as I spread the news about you and reveal what you have done in the past, do you believe that the guards will come to the door immediately?"
"What do you want?"
Listening to what Chen Rou said, the expressions of Liang Xiao and the two changed, and finally spoke at this moment.
"It's very simple."
Listening to Liang Xiao's words, Chen Rou showed a smile on her face, and then continued: "Take us into that cursed place, and find a way to delay the outbreak of the curse."
"It doesn't take much time, at most half a month."
"After the matter is completed, I can make the decision to write off your past cases. No one will trouble you again."
"I can assure you of this."
"It's a deal."
Liang Xiao was silent for a moment, then finally nodded, and said: "Apart from this, what else?"
"What else?"
Chen Rou was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help frowning.
"There is no reason in this world to just think of people doing things without giving them rewards."
Liang Xiao spoke directly and quoted a price: "In addition to the conditions you mentioned, I also want a reward of five million per person."
"how?"
"no problem."
Without hesitation, Chen Rou agreed directly.
Five hundred people per person, the sum of two people is ten million.
Although this number is large, it is really nothing compared to the curse.
You know, once the curse of the cursed land breaks out, it will affect the entire city.
At that time, I don't know how many people will die before this disaster can be ended.
If the situation evolves to this point, I am afraid that the final loss will be immeasurable.
Compared with the terrible consequences, a mere amount of money is nothing at all.
After agreeing to this condition, the phone was quickly hung up.
Putting the phone away, Liang Xiao turned around and looked at Yang Cheng beside him, with a wry smile on his face.
"Looking at it like this, we can't get out this time."
He shook his head and said so.
"It doesn't matter anymore."
In front of him, Yang Cheng shook his head, and said, "We two deserve to die. If we can help, then death is worth it."
"Besides, it's not like in the past, and Xiaolan doesn't have to worry about us anymore."
The two of them still have some accumulated in the past, even if they die directly in the ruins, they don't have to worry about how Xiaolan will live in the future.
Moreover, since the price has been negotiated with the official people, according to the usual practice, even if the two of them die, the remuneration that should belong to the two of them will be handed over to the corresponding heirs.
In this regard, the official credibility is still there.
Therefore, Yang Cheng and the two of them didn't pay too much attention to this expedition.
In fact, for people like them, the so-called danger and life and death are actually not worth mentioning at all.
Anyway, they're all damned.
on the other side.
Time passed slowly.
Soon, the sky outside became dark, and it was already night.
At night, Chen Rou returned home exhausted.
As the day passed, she was very tired.
The threat of the Blasted Lands still exists, and the curse that exists there may break out at any time.
In order to delay the outbreak of the curse as long as possible, her time is running out.
She must contact the cursers near here as quickly as possible and gather them here.
But this kind of thing is naturally not so easy to do.
After all, entering the cursed land is too risky, as long as you dare to enter, you must be prepared to die inside.
Even if they are cursers, not many people are willing to take risks.
It was naturally difficult for Chen Rou to recruit these people.
She spent the whole day running around, and now she still has some headaches.
But even so, when she returned home, she still had a smile on her face, without showing the exhaustion in her heart.
With a smile on her face, she was ready to go and prepare meals, waiting for her brother to come back.
But when she actually returned home, she was surprised to find that someone was already waiting inside.
In the spacious hall, a burst of melodious music sounded, and it kept reverberating at this moment, resounding throughout the entire hall.
On the table beside him, several prepared meals were already placed there.
“Eight Treasure Fish, Fried Rapeseed”
Looking casually at the food on the table, Chen Rou couldn't help but look a little surprised.
Beside the dining table, a young figure is still busy in it, constantly moving in it.
He seemed to hear the sound outside, turned around, looked behind him, and his eyes fell on Chen Rou.
"came back."
Looking at Chen Rou, he nodded, as if he was not surprised by her return.
"When did you learn to cook?"
Looking at Chen Heng in front of her, Chen Rou smiled, stepped forward, and patted his head.
The boy's hair was very smooth, very comfortable to the touch, with a fragrance.
Chen Rou couldn't help rubbing, and lowered her head to look at her younger brother seriously.
Under the bright light, the boy's figure was revealed, looking very tall and straight, but also a little thin.
In Chen Rou's line of sight, the young man came back to his senses, his handsome and delicate face looked calm, and he just glanced at her.
"By the way, you can learn it."
He looked at Chen Rou in front of him, and said softly, "Try it?"
"You've done everything, why don't you try it?"
Chen Rou smiled and picked up the bowls and chopsticks.
To her surprise, the meal made by Chen Heng in front of her was delicious beyond her expectation, and it didn't have the taste of dark cuisine she imagined at all.
This is actually no wonder.
After all, although he looked tender on the surface, in fact, Chen Heng was already an out-and-out old monster.
In the long course of his life, he has tried many things and done many things.
It's nothing to him if he just cooks some meals.
As early as in his first life, Chen Heng was already an expert in the kitchen when he was still a mortal.
Now it's just picked up again.
After finishing the meal, Chen Heng silently put away the bowls and chopsticks, and went to the side to get busy.
Chen Rou had nothing to do, she just sat on the wooden chair a little bored, watching her younger brother keep busy there.
Looking at the scene in front of her, she was inexplicably touched.
Before I knew it, my younger brother seemed to have grown up too.
She sighed in her heart, and this thought flashed inexplicably in her mind.
"What's wrong?"
From the side, Chen Heng's voice came.
Before he knew it, he was done with his work, and now he walked up to Chen Rou and looked at her there.
"fine."
Chen Rou shook her head with a smile, and then said softly, "I just suddenly felt that my younger brother seems to have grown up."
"boring."
Chen Heng shook his head, packed his things, and then walked into his room.
Looking at his movements, Chen Rou just had a smile on her face and didn't say much.
After a while, she stood up and walked towards her room.
Walking into the room, she quickly discovered the abnormality.
There seemed to be something extra on the table and chairs in her room.
It was a delicate golden box, very beautiful to look at, with a small note stuck to it.
"Happy birthday."
Looking at the handwriting on the note, Chen Rou was stunned, not knowing what to say at this moment.
Recently, she has been busy everywhere, but she forgot that today is her birthday.
But for a person like her, the so-called birthday is actually meaningless.
As a cursed person, her life is almost accompanied by death, and she can see many horrible scenes every day.
Most of the warmth that normal people can enjoy can't be enjoyed by her.
But at least at this moment, Chen Rou felt that she was lucky.
At least no matter what, there is someone in the family who can remember her birthday accurately and even prepare gifts for her.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile, and after thinking for a while, she stretched out her hand and opened the golden box in front of her.
The golden box slowly opened, revealing the contents inside.
This thing is nothing but a golden pendant.
The golden pendant looks very pure, with a beautiful and dazzling golden color, which is very precious and beautiful at first glance, with a suffocating charm.
Looking at the pendant in front of him, if he stares at it for a long time, he may even have an illusion, thinking that what he sees in front of him is not a golden gem, but a small sun.
At this moment, Chen Rou had a similar hallucination.
At this moment, holding the string of pendants in front of him, he felt an inexplicable warmth in his body.
It's like bathing in the sun and being illuminated by the sun, which is extraordinarily warm and comfortable.
The several parts that had been eroded by the curse, so that they throbbed from time to time, seemed to have become much more comfortable now, and the pain was no longer there.
"An illusion?"
Feeling this feeling in her body, Chen Rou was a little bit surprised, not knowing where this feeling in her body came from.
After a while, the feeling on her body subsided.
Everything seems to be back to normal.
But even so, the pendant in front of her still gave her a very different feeling. To her, it seemed to have a different kind of charm, which made her especially fond of it.
From this point of view, Chen Rou undoubtedly likes the thing in front of her very much.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile, then put it on and put it on herself.
Not far away, in the room beside him, he seemed to feel the movement of Chen Rou, and Chen Heng raised his head if he felt it.
"Have you seen it?"
Sitting on the head of the bed, feeling the scene in the room beside him, Chen Heng smiled, and this thought flashed in his mind.
That golden pendant was nothing but the thing he had baptized with divine power before.
After being baptized by divine power, this already extraordinary material has become even more unique at this moment, possessing various extraordinary characteristics.
Even an ordinary mortal, as long as he holds that pendant for a long time, he can be blessed by the power of that pendant, thus gradually transforming his life essence.
And if a cursed person obtains it, he can also use the divine power on it to suppress the cursed power in his body, and even to a certain extent, use the divine power in this pendant to become stronger.
Of course, for Chen Heng, the function of this pendant is actually not that.
The reason why he gave this pendant to Chen Rou was for protection on the one hand and exploration on the other.
The so-called protection is well understood.
As time passed, Chen Heng could also feel the tense atmosphere everywhere.
This city seems to be filled with some kind of horror, and there are traces of curses everywhere.
Under such circumstances, personal life has been threatened, and it is not as safe as it seems on the surface.
