"This time, for you, Lan Yue has put in a lot of effort and even saved the teacher's face." Li Jiamu chimed in, highlighting Tang Lan Yue's intentions.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Tang Lanyue interrupted Li Jiamu and took out a pendant-like storage item from her body and handed it to Chen Chu, "Chen Chu, see if the item here can remove the curse on you."
Chen Chu looked at the props handed to him in silence, without saying a word, nor did he reach out to take them.
Tang Lanyue continued to explain: "I heard that you entered the Soul Locking Tower and came out very quickly, and did not wait until the Soul Locking Tower collapsed. However, many people who came out later got props from the collapsed Soul Locking Tower. I collected some of them and asked the curse master to look at them. These are all props that can break the death curse."
Li Jiamu also said: "In order to collect these props, Lan Yue and I have used up all our points, and even borrowed a large sum from the group. When the curse is lifted, you have to take us to complete a few tasks to make up for the points, otherwise I will be penniless."
Tang Lanyue glared at Li Jiamu in annoyance: "What are you talking about?"
Li Jiamu: “You’re kidding.”
Chen Chu felt nauseous for no reason as he listened to the two people's pretending to be familiar with each other.
"No need." Chen Chu finally spoke.
The two were stunned, and Tang Lanyue became even more anxious: "Chen Chu, Jiamu was joking with you. You know he has been like this since he was a child. He likes to be witty when he speaks."
Li Jiamu also said: "Yes, I was joking, don't take it seriously, the curse only lasts for two years."
Chen Chu: "Is there a crown among the props?"
Tang Lanyue was puzzled: "Crown?"
Chen Chu nodded: "The crown, the one on the head of the high priest, you have seen it. My death curse can only be broken by the crown on the head of the high priest. Is there a crown in the props you have collected?"
Tang Lanyue's expression froze. She was as happy as she was when she came here, but now she was as desperate as she was now. No wonder, no wonder Chen Chu was clearly cursed, but he was reluctant to enter the Soul Locking Tower. Even if he accidentally entered, he would come out immediately. It's not that he didn't want to remove the curse, but that he simply couldn't remove it.
In the eyes of ordinary psychics, the high priest of the Soul Locking Tower is just an S-level curse master, but Tang Lanyue has a family background in learning since she was a child, and knows much more than ordinary psychics. Her father once warned her that the high priest of the seventh floor of the Soul Locking Tower is an existence beyond the S-level. If it weren't for the existence of the Soul Locking Tower suppressing him, no psychic who climbed to the seventh floor could leave alive, and those who could leave were only because the high priest didn't want to kill them.
If only the high priest's crown can remove the curse on Chen Chu, then Chen Chu's curse is unsolvable.
Li Jiamu looked at Chen Chu, then at the heartbroken Tang Lanyue, lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, and said in an encouraging tone: "It's not that there is no chance. Chen Chu is so talented, maybe in another year, he can defeat the high priest."
Chen Chu glanced at Li Jiamu expressionlessly, his eyes cold and gloomy, making Li Jiamu feel guilty for no reason.
Just when Chen Chu was thinking of finding an excuse to get rid of the person, two crisp knocks were heard at the door.
“Knock, knock.”
The three of them turned around and saw a gentle-looking young man standing at the door, wiping his glasses with his sleeve.
"Who are these two?" Qingkong looked at Chen Chu with a questioning look as he walked in.
"From the headquarters." Just three simple words, without any extra explanation.
Qingkong raised his eyebrows and immediately understood: "So you two are from the headquarters. It's so early, have you had breakfast?"
Tang Lanyue was in a bad mood and did not respond, while Li Jiamu shook his head.
Qingkong suggested, "Why don't you two go out for breakfast first? Although Jin City is not as prosperous as the capital, its snacks are also unique. There is a snack street 500 meters east of the hospital. The food is very good."
"Thank you." Li Jiamu felt inexplicably guilty after being looked at by Chen Chu. He had long since stopped wanting to stay in the ward. He used this to persuade Tang Lanyue to leave, "Lanyue, let's go eat first."
Tang Lanyue's eyes were red at this time, and she looked at Chen Chu with sad eyes.
Chen Chu was extremely annoyed by being stared at, but he held back and didn't lose his temper: "Let's go eat first."
Tang Lanyue then followed Li Jiamu away. As soon as they left, Qingkong put on his glasses, which he had wiped several times.
Chen Chu looked at him putting on the glasses and raised his eyebrows. Others might not know what Qingkong's glasses were for, but how could the people in Group 6 not know
"Don't look at me like that. It was Neptune who said that someone from the headquarters came here early in the morning and there seemed to be a conspiracy, so he asked me to come and find out." Qingkong immediately said that this was Neptune's fault and had nothing to do with him. He was not a gossipy person.
Chen Chu frowned and turned to look at Aquaman, only to find that Aquaman was holding a mobile phone in one hand, typing despite his disability. After a while, the phone in Chen Chu's hand began to vibrate.
Chen Chu looked at his phone thoughtfully, and found, as expected, that what had just happened had been broadcast to the group by Aquaman.
He suddenly had an urge to beat someone up. Even though he was deaf, he couldn't stop this guy from gossiping. He should have let the necromancer kill him last night.
Hai Wang: [@Everyone, someone from headquarters has arrived, a man and a woman, and they are chatting with Chen Chu.]
Assistant Tan: [Someone from headquarters is here? Didn’t they say the flight was at 11 o’clock? What did they talk about?]
Aquaman: [Brother, I am deaf now.]
Qingkong: [You don’t know lip reading?]
Aquaman: [Why do you think I can do something as advanced as lip reading?]
Qingkong: [Since you can't hear me, why are you gossiping so much?]
The subtext of this sentence is, seeing how enthusiastic you are, I thought you could lip read.
Hai Wang has long been used to being scolded, and doesn't care at all: [It's because I can't hear that I asked you to come, come quickly, this is the first time I see Chen Chu with such a bad face, these two people are definitely not good people. ]
Qingkong: [I'm almost there.]
Aquaman: [Then take off your glasses when you come in and see what conspiracy these two have.]
Assistant Tan: [Has Qingkong been in? How is he now?]
Aquaman: [I came in and sent them away. @Qingkong, tell me quickly, what are those two people trying to do?]
Lin Yan: [Qingkong is already in the ward, why are you still @ing him.]
Lin Xi was woken up by the beeping of her cell phone. She had gone to bed late last night and had not gotten up this morning. She was still curled up in bed, scrolling through the group chat while ordering breakfast for herself.
Aquaman: [I am doing this for you guys, don’t you want to hear gossip?]
As soon as Hai Wang finished sending the message, he felt a murderous gaze coming from the front. His strong desire to survive made him withdraw his message immediately and type again: [This concerns our group six. I think everyone should know.]
After typing, Aquaman looked up at the sky expectantly and said silently: Brother, it's your turn to perform next.
Qingkong was speechless, but he still lowered his head and explained in the group: [There is no conspiracy, these two people are here to find Chen Chu, it’s a private matter.]
The word "private matter" made the matter clear. This was Chen Chu's privacy. If Chen Chu didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't take the initiative to mention it in the group. He was not a sea king, and he didn't have a hobby of courting death.
Aquaman was immediately disappointed and wanted to point at Qingkong's nose and say: I asked you to come here for nothing.
Assistant Tan: [So I still have to go to the airport to pick you up.]
Personal matters? Lin Xi muttered a few words and didn't think much about it. She got up and washed up.
"Thank you." Chen Chu met Qingkong's gaze and thanked him out loud.
Qingkong took the breakfast that Chen Chu bought, unwrapped the plastic bag, and placed the breakfast items on the small mobile table next to the bed, so that Hai Wang could eat easily. He was afraid that if he let Chen Chu place the breakfast items at this time, Chen Chu would not be able to resist and beat him up.
"I should be the one to apologize. Sorry for accidentally prying into your privacy." Qingkong apologized.
"You are snooping into their privacy." Chen Chu's ability is two levels higher than Qingkong's. With Qingkong's strength, he is unable to pry into his inner thoughts unless he is completely defenseless.
Qingkong smiled. Although he didn't see Chen Chu's heart just now, prying into the thoughts of the two people was equivalent to indirectly knowing Chen Chu's privacy. However, he was a smart man and knew what Chen Chu meant by saying this, so he didn't mention it again.
Qingkong: "I did spy on something just now. As a friend, I think I should tell you."
Chen Chu looked at him.
What kind of touching logic would make one feel that other people's misfortune is her retribution
Chen Chu listened silently, with no expression on his face the entire time, not even a frown on his face.
Qingkong was the best at observing people's expressions and understood immediately: "You know everything?"
Chen Chu nodded: "Five years ago, the three of us were swallowed into the Soul Locking Tower together. At that time, Tang Lanyue had the Cursed Eye on her body, and the three of us relied on the Cursed Eye to successfully reach the exit of the third floor. Because it was so smooth, we felt that the Soul Locking Tower was not scary. The two of them wanted to go to the sixth floor to get a high-level item. They convinced me with a two-to-one ratio. In the end, when we went to the sixth floor, the curse master on the sixth floor did not curse Tang Lanyue, but hypnotized her and made her go to the seventh floor on her own initiative."
Qingkong pushed his glasses and, based on his previous observations, he had already guessed what would happen next.
Chen Chu continued, "Li Jiamu liked Tang Lanyue, and he rushed to the seventh floor without hesitation. I promised Tang Tianyuan that I would protect Tang Lanyue, so I went there too. The high priest seemed to be bored at that time, or maybe he thought our act of saving people was interesting, so he played a game with us. He said that as long as we accepted the curse, we could all leave safely in the end."
Chen Chu has seldom thought about this incident in recent years. He thought he had forgotten it, but he did not expect that the memory would be so clear when he recalled it: "The first person to be cursed was Tang Lanyue. The high priest cast a death curse. At that time, Tang Lanyue was only B-level. Once the curse was established, the death curse would take effect immediately. But the high priest also gave Tang Lanyue a chance to transfer the curse and told her that transferring the curse would not be considered a foul."
Qingkong: "She transferred it to Li Jiamu, and then Li Jiamu transferred it to you."
Chen Chu: “That’s right.”
Qingkong: "Then why don't you turn back?"
Chen Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Because the high priest didn't give me the ability to transfer the curse, he gave me an ability similar to the curse eye, which allowed me to see the entire process of the curse being transferred. He calculated that the curse would eventually reach me."
Chen Chu only figured it out later. The high priest was familiar with human nature and could sense other people's thoughts. He must have calculated the movements of Li Jiamu and Tang Lanyue, so he made such arrangements.
Qingkong was silent for a moment: "But in fact, according to the rules of the game, as long as the three of you accept the curse and do not transfer it, the curse will naturally disappear in the end."
This is the hint given by the high priest at the very beginning of the game.
Chen Chu: “Who knows?”
After coming out of the Soul Locking Tower, perhaps because the three of them were still alive, Tang Lanyue and Li Jiamu felt that there was nothing wrong in transferring the death curse to their "good friends". They even felt fortunate and pretended that nothing had happened and continued to get along with each other without any grudges.
Qingkong suddenly smiled: "Now you understand me, right? Once you see the darkness in people's hearts, it will be difficult to get along with them again."
Chen Chu: "So you never actively upgrade your abilities."
Qingkong answered irrelevantly: "Are you annoyed by those two people coming to you? I will teach you a trick to ensure that they will never dare to appear in front of you again."
Chen Chu raised his eyebrows.
"Tell them that you knew everything that happened in the Soul Locking Tower." Qingkong pointed at the glasses on his nose and said, "Before I had these glasses, no one dared to show them in front of me."
Chen Chu was stunned. He only had a brief moment of the ability to see into people's hearts, but he felt so disgusted. And Qingkong was like this all the time.
"That's enough, you two!" Aquaman couldn't stand it any longer. "You're bullying me because I can't hear you, right? You're gossiping in front of me."
Chen Chu and Qingkong turned around at the same time, looked at the furious Aquaman, and nodded in unusual understanding.
"!!"Neptune.
The wood-type superpower arrived in Jin City on an 11 o'clock flight, and Assistant Tan went to pick them up in person. He originally wanted to take the superpowers from the headquarters to have lunch or something, and then go to the hospital in the afternoon. But the S-level superpower who led the team this time was very decisive, and he completely ignored Assistant Tan's arrangements and went directly to the hospital.
Assistant Tan thought that going early would allow for earlier treatment, so he did not stop him. He just notified the group: [The person has been picked up and is on the way to the hospital. He will arrive around 12 o'clock. How is the dirty king? Is he awake?]
Dirt King: [Awake.]
When Assistant Tan saw that the King of Dirty could play with his cell phone, he knew that everything was fine.
The Sea King who couldn't type first because of hemiplegia: [Who is this wood-type superpower? Is he powerful? What's his superpower level?]
Lin Yan: [B-level peak.]
Qingkong: [Do you know him?]
Lin: [Yes.]
Qingkong: [I roughly know who it is.]
Hai Wang: [Who is it? Lin Yan has only been a superpower for a few months, how could she know the wood superpower at the headquarters?]
The Dirty King, who had already guessed who it was but didn't want to talk, couldn't help but call him an idiot. But the Sea King was deaf at this time and didn't hear it, and he continued to ask in the group.
Lin: [I'll be there in a minute. I'll buy you whatever you want to eat.]
Aquaman: [I want to eat steak, crayfish, grilled chicken wings...]
Chen Chu: [Just buy something.]
Lin: [Okay.]
Aquaman: [Hey!]
Half an hour later, Lin Yan came over carrying a bunch of delicious food. From a distance, she saw Assistant Tan leading a group of people towards the hospital building.
The people from the headquarters have arrived, Xiao Yunzhou is here
Yes, the wood-type supernatural being sent by the headquarters this time was Yun Zhou. Before the flight this morning, Yun Zhou sent a WeChat message to Lin Yan, saying that he would come as a healer this time and asked Lin Yan to treat him well.
Lin Xi looked at the hot and sour noodles in her hand and took two quick steps, wanting to let Xiao Yunzhou eat something before the treatment.
"Team Leader Tang, please come this way." Assistant Tan was very respectful to Tang Tianyuan who came to hand over the geomantic map. This man was the leader of the White Tiger Team in the Imperial Capital, an S-class psychic who had been famous for many years, and also Chen Chu's teacher.
Tang Tianyuan is fifty-five years old this year, but because of his special abilities, he looks only in his early forties. He has a square face, broad eyebrows, and a serious demeanor. His every move reveals the majesty of a person in a high position.
Suddenly, Tang Tianyun, who was walking in front, stopped.
Assistant Tan was stunned, looked up, and found Chen Chu standing at the door of the ward.
Assistant Tan glanced back and forth at the two of them, and was quick to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Chen Chu took the initiative to walk over and nodded slightly to Tang Tianyun: "Team Leader Tang."
Tang Tianyun snorted heavily: "Why, after leaving the White Tiger Group, you don't even recognize your teacher."
Chen Chu did not speak, nor did he change his words, but just looked at Tang Tianyuan calmly. Anyone who was not blind could tell that there was something wrong between the two of them.
Assistant Tan suddenly began to regret. If he had known earlier, he would not have given the things to Chen Chu and let Chen Chu take over.
After a moment, Tang Tianyuan took the initiative to break the silence: "Is the thing with you?"
Chen Chu nodded: "Yes."
Tang Tianyuan: "Let's go to the rooftop."
There were no empty rooms for them in the hospital, and they were too lazy to move to another place, so they simply went to the rooftop. Anyway, with their sixth sense, no one could approach quietly.
