Chapter 298 The Curse of the Evil God
Hearing this, Bai Zhi was silent for two seconds. In his mind, he recalled that in his previous life, after entering the ancient house in Xiaoshi Town, he was possessed by the "Immortal Reincarnation Gu" and became afraid of causing trouble to his family and other people nearby. It was not until high school that he gradually forgot about that past.
But the way of getting along in the family was fixed for a long time.
Now that I think about it, there are not only "Nine Dead Silkworms" in the ancient house, but also the "Kind Eater" curse. Because of the "Kind Eater" curse, it is almost inevitable that Yang Shi Ning's father was devoured by the "Nine Dead Silkworms"... Bai Zhi recalled as if chatting:
"I remember he has a brother? They should talk about everything, right?"
The lady in the black suit had a deeper sorrow in her eyes and sighed: "It used to be like this, but since his father took his brother to live on the other side, they have less contact."
Speaking of this, the lady's eyes gradually turned red, and her lips trembled as she looked at the stone tablet next to her:
"Now I am the only one left, alone..."
Bai Zhi pursed her lips and slightly raised her head to look at the gloomy sky without a trace of sunshine.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought my emotions to you." The lady in the black suit wiped her eyes and forced a smile.
The next second, Bai Zhi gave her a comforting look, as if she had made up her mind and said:
"Auntie, please tell me the details. I have an elder who is the leader of the General Law Enforcement Department, and maybe he can help you."
The General Law Enforcement Department is the highest law enforcement agency in the Federation, commanding the law enforcement departments and law enforcers in various states, provinces, and cities.
The lady in the black suit looked at Bai Zhi with her eyes widened, as if she saw hope: "Really, girl, are you telling the truth?"
In the Federation, higher power means faster crime solving efficiency, which is an irrefutable truth in the hearts of ordinary citizens.
In order to convince the lady in front of him, Bai Zhi had to continue lying:
"It's true. That elder not only has a say in the General Law Enforcement Department, but also has a say in some events involving national security."
The lady in the black suit stared at the young woman in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, girl. In fact, I have reported the case to the Criminal Investigation Department and the Law Enforcement Department of Yucheng City, but if you can find someone to help intervene, the hope of solving the case should be much greater..."
"This is what happened. It happened about half a month ago..."
Next, the lady in the black suit introduced the case she knew.
The most important information is that according to the surveillance, the two people disappeared along with the car during their self-driving trip on the highway, and the Criminal Investigation Department did not see any follow-up traces at any road exit provided by the traffic department.
After listening, Bai Zhi has basically determined that this statement is an abridged version of the two departments after eliminating the extraordinary factors, and the actual situation must be much weirder.
"Don't worry, auntie, I will definitely pass on the relevant situation, and please don't worry too much during this period." Bai Zhi comforted.
"Alas, no matter what the result is, I have to thank you, little girl... Not only for helping me with this matter, but also for visiting this child." The lady in the black suit looked at the stone tablet next to her.
"By the way." Bai Zhi looked deeply at the side figure of the lady in the black suit, and asked suddenly:
"Auntie, what's your name?"
The lady in front of him slowly looked back, the gloom in the corners of her eyes seemed to have lessened, and she smiled and whispered:
"Girl, just call me Aunt Xiao."
...
After leaving the cemetery, Bai Zhi walked towards the north district while separating his consciousness to go to the spirit world, contacted Gui Yu, and asked him about the strange rumors about the ancient house in Xiaoshi Town, and the case of vehicles and people disappearing on the highway in Yucheng City.
While Gui Yu was collecting information, Bai Zhi touched the delicate insect-shaped earring on his right ear and conveyed his thoughts:
"How much do you know about the 'Eater of Relatives' curse?"
Xiao Zhu quickly replied:
"My noble and flawless beloved master, you have asked the right insect..."
"The 'Eater of Relatives' curse is a curse that rarely appears in secret history..."
"Legend has it that it was created by the evil god 'God of Curse' himself... It is so named because it is strange and unpredictable, and the cursed person will 'eat the life and fate of their relatives'."
"For humans, if they are infected with this curse, they and some of their immediate family members will suffer a disaster that breaks out at irregular intervals... But there is only one disaster, as long as they can survive it safely, the curse will disappear..."
"And if the cursed human dies and he has offspring, then the curse will be randomly passed on to one of the offspring and continue to take effect..."
It turned out to be a curse related to the evil god! ?
The rest is similar to what the keeper said...
Fortunately, I didn't have any offspring when I was a human... As soon as the thought flashed, Bai Zhi asked:
"If this curse is nearby, for example, the cursed person appears, can you find it?"
In response, Xiao Zhu's answer was far beyond Bai Zhi's expectations:
"...I'm sorry, Master, I can't do it with my current ability..."
"Because the 'Kind Eater' curse is different from my five curses, it can go deep into the level of fate and only stay in fate, and my ability is only at the level of body and soul, unable to involve the extremely secret level..."
A curse that goes deep into fate? Only affects fate?
What a weird curse...
Bai Zhi was stunned, and she immediately thought that the transmission of the "Kind Eater" curse might not be based on blood relationship, but on fate as a bridge for transfer!
Wait a minute...
Bai Zhi suddenly felt a chill on her back, and her body stiffened from the soles of her feet to her upper body...
She thought of her reincarnation. Although her body was destroyed, her fate was still closely connected with her previous life...
She suspected that she might still have the "Kin Cannibal" curse on her!
But she soon thought that she had survived so many life-and-death disasters. Even if the "Kin Cannibal" curse was really passed on, it should have disappeared many times...
"Is the only way to disappear the curse... to survive the disaster?" Bai Zhi asked after a long pause.
"Yes, master." Xiao Zhu replied obediently.
Bai Zhi recalled what Xiao Zhu had just said, and suddenly found something wrong, and immediately pointed it out:
"You just talked about the situation of humans being infected with the 'cannibal' curse..."
"What about other creatures? For example, what will happen to monsters?"
Xiao Zhu seemed to think for a few seconds before replying:
"There is no difference... except..."
"Except what?"
"Except that the cursed monsters will consciously and actively devour their blood relatives..."
"The reason why humans don't do this should be related to the lack of such motivation in their deep genetic memory..."
"But most monsters don't have this restriction, and some races even have the genetic tradition of 'cannibalism', so under the influence of the curse, this behavior is more likely to occur."
