Siren Blade

Chapter 65 Curse and Blessing

It's been a few days since the Daytown Fog event ended.

Some things have happened in the past few days, and they will be explained one by one in chronological order.

The first is the curse that the blue bird cast that night.

Yes, I learned in hindsight, that was not a contract, but a curse.When making breakfast for the blue bird the next day, I carefully explored my body with awareness.I can feel something like a chain piercing my body invisible, one end is connected to me, and the other end is connected to the blue bird.It's not that I haven't been cursed before, so it's easy to see clearly.And the purpose of this thing is probably to prevent me from taking the initiative to pay for my life to the victim in the future.

Curses are not the same as contracts, which are allowed to be broken.In other words, breaching the contract itself is part of the spirit of the contract, provided that the price is paid in accordance with the contract afterwards.But the curse is different. Before I find a way to lift the curse, I can only strictly obey the content of the curse.I don't know what it is, maybe if I repeat the scene where Saber Tooth begged for my life last time, my body will automatically fight back?Or was it that when I was actually in that situation, I would be cursed and temporarily brainwashed to make the exact opposite decision?

I don't know if I should accept that kind of thing, but if Blue Bird wants me to, I will submit to her anyway.Because I really owe her too much.And from a bystander's point of view, it's not so much a negative curse as a blessing that Blue Bird did to save my life.Although if a siren were to make an evaluation, she would probably say that imposing a blessing is no different from a curse.

The question is, how on earth did the blue bird manage to curse me?I've never heard of her being good at cursing.Of course, cursing is the basic skill of a warlock, so it's not surprising that she will.But unless you specialize in it, it's too difficult to curse me.

I thought of the meals she had cooked for me, and some common sense about sympathetic witchcraft.

Curses are like poisons in a sense, so they can also be cast with food, but the process is far more bizarre.For example, some warlocks are good at using leftovers to cast curses, because there is some kind of magical connection between the leftover food and the food in his stomach, and through this connection, the warlock can use his power directly Teleports inside the enemy's body.

The common sense of this hidden world is often distorted into some superstitions when it falls into the secular society.In ancient times, people in some places believed that if their leftovers deteriorated, the food in their stomachs would also change and kill themselves, so they would dispose of them before then; , Or maybe there will be another scientific explanation for this behavior of the ancients from the perspective of hygiene.

But I revisited the experience of last night in my mind. She should not have tampered with the leftovers, but mixed something into the food I ate.For example, my own body tissues, such as ground hair or nails, or blood, have directly established a connection with my body.Judging from the invisible chain I felt directly connecting the blue bird, this guess should be correct.

However, I have heard a lot of spells that use the target's body tissue as the medium to curse the target. This has long been a routine in many folk tales, but I have not heard much about the spell that curses the target with its own body tissue. .Besides, with my resistance to curses, even if someone who is not good at cursing directly casts a curse from inside my body, it won't help.

It didn't take long for me to get the truth from Jade Bird, which overturned all my self-righteous thoughts.

Blue Bird took a shower and had breakfast after waking up, and I was still thinking about how to talk to her about cursing naturally, when she suddenly suggested to me whether I should get a haircut.I also feel that my hair has grown a bit recently. I thought she was asking me to go to the barber shop, but she took out the scissors from the cabinet under the TV.

"It's just cut short, I promise to take care of it for you." She said confidently.

So she also taught herself how to trim her hair?It's just that I was still thinking about the relationship between the curse and hair and other body tissues, and she said she would cut my hair on the back foot, which was inevitably suspicious.But I can feel that when she said that, she really didn't have any intentions, she really just wanted to help me trim my hair.So she led me to the balcony and sat down.

She hummed a warm melody softly, looked at me in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, faced the morning sun and the sound of cars on the road, and gestured with combs and scissors with a smile on her face.

A clicking sound came from his head.It was difficult for me to get used to it, maybe it was because I had done too many evil deeds in the past, and when it was my turn to have a knife in my head, I was so nervous that I raised my anus reflexively.This might be said to be a guilty conscience unique to murderers.To distract myself, I asked about the curse.

"That curse..." Her attitude was very natural, "Do you know the grass-thrower?"

I thought for a while, "Do you mean... a curse spell that adds the target's hair or nails to a grass-woven puppet, and attacks the straw puppet to cause damage to the target?"

"Yes." She went on to make a rather outrageous statement, "This is the curse I asked you to put on me."

I was startled, "What?"

Under Jade Bird's explanation, I finally understood what she had done.

This curse turned out not to be a curse for me, but a curse for her.

After receiving my suicide note and confirming my safety, she had this plan and worked hard for it.Simply put, she did all the preparatory work to cast the curse, but at the last moment she deliberately pushed me into the position of pulling the trigger, while she stood in the position of being cursed, leading me to unconsciously Pull the trigger.At that time, I thought that I was going to be recruited, and I ate the meal she prepared for me with that mental preparation.

Her body tissue was indeed mixed into that meal, and the result was to turn my body into a "straw man" linked to her heart.If I die, it will implicate her too.Of course, she is also a main-level warlock with strong curse resistance. Even if she has deliberately embraced the curse with open arms, such a curse will hardly hurt her later.So she compressed the conditions for the curse to take effect-this curse will only be activated when I surrender my life in vain like last time.

This also relieved one of my doubts: the reason why this curse can be established on me is because I am not the one who accepts the curse, but the one who initiates it.

And the cursed blue bird stood behind me and said frankly, "Li Duo, you may want to be everyone's hero, but I am different, I just want to be yours a human hero."

I couldn't help but rest, digest the overly stimulating information, and then ask: "Is it necessary to go to this point?"

"That's what I have to do with you. If you don't, you'll just disappear when I look away," she said. "If you die heroically, I'll be very sad, and I will I'm glad for you, because you died in the way you wanted after all. But if you gave your life to others before you could become the person you wanted to be... I I will also be very sad, not ordinary very sad, but very sad, very sad, very sad... so sad that I feel that it is difficult to even live, maybe I will be overwhelmed and find a rooftop to jump off."

"But even if I say that, there's a chance you won't mean it. So I'm going to show it," she continued. "If you do die that way, I'll die of a heart attack."

"Heart paralysis..." I was dumbfounded.

"You are my love slave. Your life is not your own," she said. "And this curse is just to convey this idea to you in the most direct form."

"Where in this world is there a curse that when a slave dies, the master dies as well." I said, "It's usually the other way around."

She smiled and put down the comb and scissors.

"So, Li Duo..." She stretched out her arms, wrapped them around my neck from behind, hugged me tightly, then gently rubbed my cheeks with her soft and warm cheeks, and I whispered softly in my ear, "When you become very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that you feel uncomfortable even living... just think about me more."

I thought, what a cunning thing she did and said to me.

What choice do I have but to accept her? ——
The siren has extracted all the memories of the succubus.

Because the Succubus merged with the Mist Demon, its own spirit fragments were mixed with a large number of Mist Demon's spirit fragments. It was very troublesome just to pick them out, so even the Siren took a lot of hard work. Completely done.Thanks to her efforts, I have found some valuable intel.Specifically, it is "information about biting blood".

And the most valuable part of it is undoubtedly the whereabouts of Bite Blood.

Before handing the Demon of Fog to the Succubus, Bite Blood told Succubus that she had a temporary residence in Tianhe City, and that she would stay in Tianhe City to deal with something recently (she didn't tell Succubus what it was specifically. thing), if the succubus successfully merges with the mist demon, go there and meet her.

I found the specific address from Succubus' memory and wrote it down.

Also, I saw some other notable intel.

I once learned from the memory of the intermediary that Bite Blood is like a mercenary in the hidden world, selling his power to many organizations.Recently, she joined a large organization, and she also joined with a succubus.

The name of that organization was "Eve", and it was a notorious organization in the hidden world.

The reason why it is notorious is quite straightforward, because that organization has gathered a large number of demon warlocks.

The harmfulness of demon warlocks can be seen from the mist demon, which was descended into the real world by certain demon warlocks who did not know how to live or die.Naturally, the Security Bureau will not let go of this extremely dangerous secret organization, and has continued to crack down on it for many years, and in the first half of [-] it caused a near-destructive blow to it.

However, the eve did not disappear from the hidden world after all, but gradually revived.Because the most indispensable thing in the hidden world is people who yearn for power, and people who yearn for power can easily embark on the path of becoming a demon warlock.He recruited new talents all the way the night before, and now, six years later, he has become a thorn in the side of the Security Bureau again.

Biting blood has a special status in the eve.She is not one of the previous night's own people, but she has great power. She is very popular among the demon warlocks who worship violence, and she can be regarded as half of the previous night's high-level.

And the succubus can only be regarded as a marginal person on the eve, her position in the organization is just like my position in the security bureau, she is directly under the blood biting subordinate.Similar to the middleman's view, she also felt that the previous night was nothing more than one of the countless secret organizations that Bite Xue had joined, and she didn't even think it was necessary for her to join.If she hadn't bitten her blood and casually recommended it, she wouldn't have wanted to "huddle together" with other people at all.Biting Blood didn't force her, and let her go.

Although Succubus's withdrawn way of thinking stems from her unique life experience, it is also the common style of many warlocks.In fact, they don't care much about groups and organizations, and most of them are secretists, seriously lacking the spirit of cooperation.If it weren't for the Security Bureau's heavy blow to the Demon Warlocks, those Demon Warlocks probably wouldn't want to go with fellows who don't know when they will stab themselves twice.

However, despite being so distrustful of others, succubi trust bloodbite quite a bit.From the bottom of her heart, she believes that Bite Xue is her reborn parent, and she is willing to go through fire and water for Bite Blood.And Bite Blood seems to just regard her as one of the countless demon warlocks he has fostered. He always maintains a non-cold attitude, and has never shown any signs of true feelings in front of her.

No, maybe there was one time, although it is a little bit reluctant to call it "truth revealing", but at least Bite Xue said what was in his heart that time.

It was the night when Bite Blood went to Day Town and handed over the Demon of Fog to the Succubus.

The succubus looked at the wooden box in his hand excitedly, and began to imagine himself after gaining power.Bite Xue looked at her face without saying a word, then turned around, walked to the window, and stared at the darkness outside the window.

"How many lives do you think a person can have?" Bite Xue asked suddenly.

The succubus was startled when he heard the words, unable to figure out the true meaning of this question.She put down the wooden box in her hand, thought about the idea of ​​biting the blood seriously, and finally decided to follow the other party's words, "A person can only have one life."

"That's right." Bite Xue nodded in agreement, then changed the topic again, "But have you ever heard of this saying? A person will actually die three times. The first time is when he loses his breath. He will never see the world again; the second time. The second time was at the funeral, when people never saw him again; and the third time, when he was the last to be known, he was forgotten."

The succubus responded, "I heard a little bit."

"That's why countless people in history have pursued one after another to leave a name in history, thinking that as long as there are people who remember themselves, they are still alive." Speaking of this, biting blood showed a mocking tone, "It's a bunch of nonsense."

She turned around and said categorically: "A person will only die once, as long as he can no longer experience this world, he is absolutely dead."

　happy New Year!
