The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 538: Two curses

Views:

Those mysterious knowledge hidden under common sense, or even contrary to common sense, are difficult for ordinary people to understand. Even August, who has lived three centuries ago and spent a lot of energy studying witchcraft and taboo knowledge, would be wrong. Estimate a lot of things. …Apex novel, he didn’t know what the real body of the angry spirit was, but he made a judgment based on the voice he kept hearing in his hallucinations, thinking that “that dark monster” was divided into two parts by the witch, and one part was suppressed in Deep in the permafrost of Siberia, another part was entangled in him. Under this judgment, he made the decision to keep a distance from the Andre family, and strictly limited the frequency of contact with the Andre family based on the witchcraft knowledge he collected from God knows where: these are those weird and obscure The source of the letter.

Many of the measures he took were ridiculous and useless in the eyes of real experts, but at least the decision to "stay away from Siberia" was still very wise, especially after he took something out of the room, Vivian was even more convinced of this.

August came to Vivienne with a black wooden box with a complex structure, and offered it with both hands: "That stone is inside."

"What is this box for?" Vivian looked at the wooden box curiously, "Why does it look familiar to me?"

August was very surprised: "You forgot? This is what you gave me back then. You also specially asked me and my descendants to keep this box properly, because you said that one day you might come to pick it up—I just started Thought you came just for this box."

"Is there?" Vivian frowned, "Oh, it seems that I still missed something."

As she spoke, she opened the wooden box. Seeing the inconspicuous little gadget inside: "This is the second piece—there is indeed a part of the power of the angry spirit left on it. It seems that I was too negligent and didn't pay attention to the excessive consumption of power back then."

Hao Ren saw a palm-sized oval object lying quietly in the box. It was indeed different from the first device preserved by the Andre family. There are circles of concentric circles on the surface of this thing, and a penetrating small hole in the middle. Other than that, you can't see any bumps.

It's hard to see how this thing is related to the first device just by looking at it.

"It turned out to be some inexplicable things. What is the origin of the angry spirit?" Hao Ren muttered, took out the triangular gadget from his portable space, and put the two "stones" together tentatively, "No response ?”

He picked up two weird-looking "Wrath Relics" and gestured back and forth, bringing them together or hitting each other lightly, but the two things neither made a beep nor saw a light indicator. Lily looked at the fun from the side, and rushed over to fiddle with it. Hao Ren hesitated for a moment before handing it over: Does he know that this husky has a hobby of collecting stones, I hope the bastard girl won't take a bite to taste...

But Lily fiddled with it for a long time, and the situation was still the same. There was no sign of activation or activation of them: no one on site would use them.

Husky had no choice but to return the stone to Hao Ren in frustration, but judging by the reluctance on her face, it was obvious that she really wanted to add this thing to her Wang Zhibao...

"It seems that there is something missing," the data terminal floated out and turned around the two "stones", "this machine sensed that they did resonate, but the resonance signal should be sent to another device: There are no third-party devices here, so they get no feedback. No movement."

"Another device?" Hao Ren frowned, suddenly remembering the crack in the Nuling Space, "Is it really that gate? This stone is the key to open it?"

On the other end, Hao Ren was discussing the matter of the Wrath Spirit with some half-assed experts. August was terrified when he saw them put together two "cursed stones". He widened his eyes and coughed violently twice: "Can't put them together..."

"It's okay, the evil spirit has been killed by us," Hao Ren waved his hand indifferently. At the same time, he felt an unpleasant chill in his hand when he was holding the second "key", and the remnant breath of the angry spirit was still lingering on this thing. "Sanba, help purify this thing."

Nangong Sanba gave Hao Ren a sideways look: "You have a fish that is better at exorcising demons than me. Let her shout twice."

"Oh, that's right," Hao Ren was stunned, and then patted his chest, "Doudou came out and cleared his throat."

The little mermaid happily got half of her body out of Hao Ren's neckline. She has been paying attention to the movement outside. Although she doesn't understand why, she realizes that her father needs her, so she is very happy to look at Hao Ren's hand. The second "key stone" cleared her throat, but before she sang the first note, Hao Ren felt the coldness in her hand was instantly emptied.

"Damn... this efficiency," Nangong Sanba looked at Hao Ren's demon hunting fish like a monster, "What's the reason for this fish?"

Hao Ren has been wrestling with this question for a whole day, and now he said his guess: "I suspect it has something to do with Doudou's demon hunting fish power."

Nangong Sanba was taken aback: "What the hell is a demon hunting fish?"

"It's not just the demon hunter fish, but she directly received the empowerment of the first generation of demon hunters. In terms of realm, she is comparable to the ancestors of the demon hunters," Nangong Wuyue couldn't help thinking of Doudou's messy power acquisition process. Covering his face, "Brother, don't ask, there is no explanation in two or three thousand words, and I will explain it to you slowly when I have time when I get back."

Nangong Sanba was taken aback because Hao Ren hadn't had time to explain to him that Doudou was empowered by a "Holy Artifact of Origin" and gained the power of a demon hunter. August next to him was even more frightened: he claimed to have seen many extraordinary things in his life, but he had never seen a mermaid: especially this mermaid was only one foot long...

But in any case, he is a person who has lived for three centuries. He also saw the scene of a werewolf and a vampire fighting back then. At this time, the old man was still very calm. Vivian glanced at him, and found that even if the aura on the "stone" was removed, there were still signs of being infected by the obsession of the angry spirit on August's body. She patted Doudou on the head: "Come here a few more times."

The little guy was overjoyed. It was the first time since he was born that he felt so powerful. He just yelled at the old man. This time, everyone around them raised their attention, and finally felt that when Doudou made a sound, there was a wonderful power accompanying her. The sound spread out—the cold and distorted aura entrenched on August's body was like an electromagnetic wave that was strongly disturbed, and instantly collapsed into a piece of meaningless clutter and disappeared.

"After you go back, you must check to see what new functions Doudou has." Nangong Wuyue frowned and looked at Doudou who was happily babbling. The gloomy atmosphere left by the obsession of the spirit of anger is rapidly receding, and Nangong Wuyue even feels that the spiritual power she diffused is being disturbed by some kind of harmless but real existence, "... In addition, it is best to teach the little guy a few songs in the future A decent piece of music, at least you can't always use little apples in the exorcism ceremony..."

Only then did August finally react. He realized that the voice that had entangled him for three hundred years was easily removed in this joking process, and his whole body was plunged into a huge shock. Feeling refreshed, he stood up and rubbed his hands to thank everyone. Vivian waved her hand to stop his overly excited reaction: "To be honest, I'm a little curious, since the 'stone' has caused you so much trouble, why don't you just throw it away? You are not as bad as the Andre family The spirit is watching, trapped in Siberia and unable to leave."

"To be honest, I did think about it in the early years." August looked at the two "stones" in Hao Ren's hand with a complicated expression, "and I did throw them away a few times, but every time it was like a curse. Come back to me—just leave it for more than seven days, and the thing will come back. I've given up."

"It's also seven days?" Hao Ren looked at Vivian in surprise, "People from Andre's family can't leave the castle for more than seven days, is it the same reason?"

Compared with the Andre family who were directly trapped near the main body of the angry spirit, August suffered significantly less damage. He was only troubled by nightmares, and the "stone" did not kill him, but These two curses obviously have many similarities: the victim cannot leave the cursed object too far or for too long, and the cursed object will try to infuse inexplicable information into the victim's memory, all these characteristics are very curious.

Wrath Spirit is an irrational creature, so what is the meaning of these "curses" that it creates with obvious purpose and regularity

"The two stones are already in hand." Vivienne temporarily put aside these questions, turned to look at August, "Paul, you can go to Andre Castle with us—is that okay?" (To be completed continued..)
