Chapter 329: Rewards for Finding the Soul
Chapter 329: Rewards after Recovering the Soul
"Brother Mao, I still have a question. You are steady and Ke Lan's observation and analytical skills are not weak. With Wu Rui, it stands to reason that if you all work together, even if this scene is very dangerous, you won't be so easily contaminated by the curse. Even if you are contaminated, you won't be wiped out twice in a row. No, in fact, if we didn't come this time, today would be the day you were wiped out for the third time. Don't you think it's strange?"
Luo Xi asked a question he discovered.
He felt that something was very wrong about this matter.
"I, I don't remember. It seems that I was accidentally infected with the curse, and then I didn't find a way to solve it. After being completely invaded by the curse, I would lose consciousness, commit suicide, and then wake up on the next cycle day." Mao Ge thought about it carefully and shook his head: "Without you, if there are only a few of us, it may really not work."
"No!" Luo Xi shook his head: "You are too self-deprecating. I don't know other people, but I know you very well. At the critical moment, you will definitely activate [Resentment] without hesitation, but you didn't mention the process you told me before."
When Brother Mao heard this, he frowned and thought about it.
"I, indeed, do not remember activating [Resentment Surge]."
“So this is very unusual.”
"Luo Xi, do you have any other discoveries?"
Luo Xi shook his head: "No, I just deduced the result based on the actual situation. I felt that there was a missing part in the whole chain of things. This led to a possibility."
"What possibilities?" Liu Mao was curious.
"This place has other unknown threats. That is, even if the people who come here do not open the shrine, they may be attacked in some way."
"Is there?" Liu Mao scratched his head: "I've been here for the third time, but I don't remember any other dangers."
"Maybe I was wrong."
Liu Mao looked around and said, "We're here. It's right here. I remember that the last time I was entangled by the curse, I was still conscious at this place. There was a grove of ginkgo trees over there. I remember it very clearly."
The two walked over.
It was easy to find the shrine under a tree.
Wooden shrine, apricot yellow in texture.
"Do you have any impression?" Luo Xi asked.
Liu Mao shook his head.
"This place is not easy to be discovered. Let's try burning incense first to see if it is the shrine of the curse. Maybe we can hit it with one strike." To be honest, Luo Xi hardly saw any other people who had collected memories while walking along the way.
Apart from the few people I met by the lake before, I didn't meet any other memory-collecting people along the way.
Therefore, from the last cycle day to now, the only person who died around this shrine might be Brother Mao.
If this shrine is a 'Grudge Shrine', then there is a high possibility that he will reveal his own curse.
At least 70% to 80%.
"I'll go open it." With Luo Xi in charge, Brother Mao felt more confident. He walked forward to light incense on the altar with steady hands. The moment he inserted the incense, the small wooden door of the shrine opened.
It was as black as a black hole inside.
It really is the Cursed Shrine!
Luo Xi looked at it expectantly.
Soon, Brother Mao widened his eyes, turned his head and nodded at Luo Xi.
This was what he and Luo Xi had agreed upon before. If his own "curse" crawled out of the curse shrine, he would nod, otherwise he would shake his head.
"My goodness, I didn't expect that I could look so scary." In Brother Mao's eyes, a curse that looked exactly like him squeezed out from the narrow black hole of the shrine. This curse was covered in blood, with broken bones and torn skin. Not to mention others, he himself was terrified when he saw it.
But his curse is very strong.
It easily swallowed up another curse at his feet and then crawled towards him.
The next moment, it penetrated into the body.
Liu Mao only felt as if he was suddenly thrown into ice water. The biting cold instantly burst out in his body, followed by a feeling of suffocation. He tried to speak, but his body was no longer under his control. His eyes were dark and he could not see anything.
However, just when Liu Mao thought that he would die inexplicably this time and then wake up on the next cycle day, he suddenly saw many scenes.
It's memory.
It was the entire process of his second entry into the Sea of Trees Park, including many details he had forgotten before, and how he died the second time.
The memory flashback seems like a long time, but it's actually just a blink of an eye.
Liu Mao regained awareness of his body. He took a few deep breaths and then felt something extra in his hand.
Look down.
It's three cards.
In addition to a [Memory], a [Grudge], there is also a [Memory Fragment].
"Are these rewards?" Liu Mao immediately told Luo Xi the process and the three cards.
Luo Xi nodded in approval.
[Memory] This does not need much explanation.
[Grudge] is a summoning card that says: You can use the [Grudge] card to summon your own Grudge to fight, which lasts for fifteen minutes - please note that this is a disposable item.
Even though it can only be used once, the value of this [Grudge] is unquestionable.
Very powerful.
However, it is difficult to obtain. You need to die at the hands of the Grudge on the previous cycle day, and then find your own Grudge on the next cycle day.
Its value is worthy of the difficulty of obtaining it.
As for the last card [Memory Fragment], the card introduction is: It comes from an unknown target, please choose carefully whether to open it - other people's memories will make you schizophrenic!
"Can you give me this card?" Luo Xi asked.
"Of course, as long as you need it." Brother Mao was very generous, especially to Luo Xi. Not to mention one card, even if he wanted all the cards in his card ring, he would not hesitate: "But I saw the introduction of this card, it seems very dangerous, Luo Xi, you don't want to open this card, do you?"
"This is a good option." Luo Xi did not deny his idea.
And after seeing this card, Luo Xi made another new discovery. He found an extra "number" on this [memory fragment].
What is certain is that this is not a numbered card, but another kind of identification, the meaning of which can be inferred from the word "fragment" in the card name.
"That is to say, there is not just one such memory fragment. Perhaps, there is a similar [Memory Fragment] in every Curse Shrine. The way to obtain it is as a reward for someone to retrieve their own Curse."
These are purely Luo Xi's speculations.
Authenticity not guaranteed.
In order to explore this secret, in addition to taking Mao Ge to find the other party's second curse, you can also open this [Memory Fragment].
Of course there are risks, but after Luo Xi thought about it, it seemed that he had nothing to be afraid of.
The description on the card is 'Other people's memories will make you schizophrenic'.
It sounds scary.
"But I have schizophrenia. I am a severe mental patient. As the saying goes, too many lice won't bite. Does it make any difference if there is one more or one less?" Luo Xi laughed, very happily, and he knew that some foreign personalities had actually been mixed into his own personality.
For example, when using the [Bronze Mirror of Memory], it was invaded by the eldest lady's resentment.
Isn't it nothing?
A red cat among a hundred black cats may seem eye-catching, but they are all cats after all.
Most importantly, Luo Xi was very curious about the contents of this [memory fragment].
Because he already had some guesses.
"Brother Mao, wait for me for a few minutes." After Luo Xi said this, he directly activated the [Memory Fragment] in his hand.
Brother Mao didn't have time to stop it.
After activating the card, the thing disappeared immediately, like a cloud of smoke, and instantly penetrated into Luo Xi's mouth and nose.
His body shook, and the black pupils in his eyes disappeared immediately.
It's like it's covered with a layer of turbid milky white.
From Luo Xi's perspective, he saw a strange memory.
"I'm crying?"
"why?"
In front of me was a desk, the light from the desk lamp was soft, but it gave me an extremely annoying restlessness. There were many books and exercise books on the desk.
“Am I doing my homework?”
"Oh, I've finished my homework. Now I'm doing the extracurricular workbook, but I don't want to do it. I want to go out and play, or watch cartoons, or even just play with the cartoon cards in the drawer."
"I like cards. My classmates are all collecting them. If they are rare, I can exchange them for snacks or even pocket money."
Many memories are impacting my consciousness, like a pool of black water. Suddenly, a thick pipe quickly pours clean water into it. Soon, the originally black water is quickly diluted.
The pond is still the same pond, but the water is no longer the same water.
In a room, a girl who was doing her homework with a pencil raised her head and looked around.
Her expression changed, sometimes frowning, sometimes helpless, sometimes horrified, and sometimes looking like she wanted to cry.
It was like several different thoughts popped up in a short period of time.
But in the end, these thoughts solidified into a kind of indifference, an expressionless face that was impossible to see on the face of a girl of this age.
She looked up at the room.
Then he got down from the chair and walked to the mirror.
At this time, a strange scene appeared. It was obviously a girl, but the person who appeared in the mirror was a man.
They stared at each other for a long time.
At this time, there seemed to be a quarrel outside the room.
It sounded like an ordinary family quarrel.
But soon, the argument escalated.
There was a sound of a cup breaking.
But even so, everything was normal until a doll on the bed suddenly moved, stood up, and climbed down.
The next moment, the doll seemed to have discovered something and pounced forward.
The screen went black.
"Luo Xi, are you okay?"
Came Mao's voice.
It was far away at first, but soon it felt close.
Luo Xi's original pupils reappeared on his cloudy eyeballs. Seeing Liu Mao's worried look, he smiled and said, "Brother Mao, I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay. I was so scared just now. You didn't move. Your eyes..."
Liu Mao breathed a sigh of relief.
"How long did that situation last?" Luo Xi asked.
"One minute, less than two minutes."
"Brother Mao, tell me about Zhou Xinpeng's situation. What did he say to you on the phone? Especially, about his daughter. I want all the details!"
