Chapter 2445 The Birth of Mystery

"This kind of good luck feels even worse than Reynolds' situation." Angel said in surprise.

"There's no need to make an analogy. I haven't finished telling my story yet." The inspector may not have had normal communication with others for a long time, and it was rare to find someone to talk to. Once the conversation started, he couldn't stop it.

“When this story is told, does it sound like a perfect comeback story?”

Angel nodded. From poverty to wealthy businessman, this can indeed be called a turnaround story.

"However, this story is not really perfect."

"oh?"

"Only Child's relatives are perfect, but Child himself is the only flaw."

The inspector continued to tell, and more truth about this story was revealed in front of Angel.

As the inspector said, luck exists, but this luck does not cover Child. Not only is Child unlucky, he has had bad luck since he was born.

When he was still a baby, Child either fell out of bed or fell into scalding water due to his parents' negligence.

This is actually nothing, it can only be said to be a slight misfortune. But as Child grew up, more misfortune befell him.

His married eldest sister was a vicious-hearted woman who often went to snatch food from Child while his parents were working in the fields. At the same time, in order to prevent Child from opening his mouth, she also forced him to drink a drink that would make him drunk. Poisonous weed juice that numbs the tongue and makes one unable to speak. Every time his parents came back, they thought Child had eaten something and did not give him any more food. Over the years, Child not only had tongue problems and could not speak clearly, but he was also starved to the point of skin and bones.

Later, the second sister discovered what the eldest sister had done. Not only did she not help Child, she also became an accomplice with the eldest sister. When Child was starved to the skin and bones, they both slandered Child and said that he was cursed by the gods and was an outcast who was not welcomed by the gods.

At that time, class solidification became more and more serious, and a large number of elites were behind the scenes. This led to the prevalence of illiteracy and anti-intellectual ideas among the poor, and religion became the only authority other than the royal family. Child's parents were also victims of anti-intellectual thinking. They easily believed the words of their two daughters and became increasingly alienated from their biological son, Child.

And because they encountered several bursts of luck, the eldest sister and the second sister even spread the word that this was a gift from the gods because their parents were disgusted with Child.

Child has always been in a position of being despised in his family, while others have been getting better and better because of their wanton bullying of Child.

The abuser's humiliation, coupled with Child's low self-esteem that he had developed since childhood, made him unable to resist, and he did not know that the word "dignity" existed in the world.

Thus, a longer vicious cycle began.

After more than ten years of violence, Child's family's luck is getting worse and worse.

The eldest sister is vicious and has many thoughts. She has discovered many details in her years of life. For example, whenever she travels far away, her good luck will disappear. Even at home, as long as Child is not nearby, her luck will become normal.

Even though the eldest sister didn't know that extraordinary things existed in the world, after thinking about it for a moment, she vaguely understood that it was probably Child who was responsible for their good luck.

But even though she indirectly learned some of the truth, the eldest sister still didn't treat Child well. Instead, she went even worse and imprisoned Child like a beast.

Her words were full of grace and power, and her parents were fooled into following her lead. As for herself, she didn't believe it at first, but after she talked too much, she deceived herself and became more and more cruel to Child.

When the inspector said this, he paused and asked Angel: "At this point, what do you think the final outcome will be like?"

"If it were written according to the pattern of a storybook, Child's family would definitely suffer the backlash of luck and get a bleak ending." After Angel finished speaking, he smiled and changed the topic: "However, I My enlightenment mentor once told me that only the first half of a fairy tale is enough. Most of it is the author's emotional autobiography of what he saw and experienced personally, but the subsequent development is the dream weaved by the author to make up for the regrets of reality. The nature is similar to that of fairy tales. After all, it just caters to the reader's orientation. The real ending is often...tragedy hidden under the beauty."

The inspector nodded: "Your enlightenment mentor is right. However, whether it is a tragedy or a fairy tale depends on who you substitute. If the substitute is the Child family, then this is a typical fairy tale. If the substitute is Cha Well, of course it’s the opposite.”

"Because Child's final ending, as you said, was not a happy one."

Under the deliberate plot of his eldest sister, Child betrayed all his relatives and eventually died in a dog cage in a corner of the magnificent living room of his home due to infection from whiplash injuries.

As for the Child family, they did not suffer much evil.

It was only after Child's death that Child's bad luck began to spread, and they were unlucky for a few days in a short period of time. Later, after throwing Child's body into a graveyard in a cemetery outside the city, the bad luck disappeared naturally.

However, because Child died, their unlucky luck was gone and they returned to normal luck. But this doesn't affect anything. At this time, they already have the background of wealthy businessmen and even bought a title. As long as they don't commit suicide, there is no problem in passing on the inheritance.

"Is this the ending of the story? It's very true." Angel: "However, what you want to tell me should be more than that, right?"

The Inspector smiled and nodded: "Yes, Childe's story is over, but his influence is very far-reaching, and even caused a legendary wizard to be besieged. He was forced to step into the disordered rhythm of a disordered thing and has not returned yet. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be dead."

"As for why this is the case, can you guess?"

Angel fell into deep thought.

He was not thinking about the Inspector's question, but the Inspector's story made him vaguely think of another thing.

Lucas's lies.

Lucas used a series of lies to compile a logbook, which recorded a large number of absurd stories, such as tears falling into the sea and turning into a sea of ​​flowers, the sea in the Devil's Sea that is always clear, the huge and terrifying island spirit, the glowing wishing tree... and so on. These were all false at the time and did not exist at all.

But after Lucas's death, these original lies came true one by one. Although some can only be said to be barely true, it is amazing that the lies have come true.

After investigations from all parties, Angel finally confirmed the truth.

Lies are still lies, but when lies come out of Lucas' mouth, they become true. And Lucas' mouth is not a gift of "one word becomes a prophecy", but... a mysterious thing.

Although there is no obvious connection between Lucas's story and Child's story, the inner threads are vaguely similar.

After associating these two different things, an answer vaguely emerged in Angel's mind: "Is it a mysterious thing?"

The inspector raised his eyebrows: "Your intuition is very sharp. Yes, it is a mysterious thing."

The inspector continued to talk about Child's story, but this story has nothing to do with Child, it is after his death.

After Child's death, the body rotted soon, and as the body decayed, the suppressed bad luck began to occupy the cemetery.

All people who step into the cemetery will be more or less unlucky after leaving. The mild ones will lose money, and the serious ones will even lose their lives.

The cemetery is also called the "Doom Cemetery" by the locals.

The reputation of the Doom Cemetery spread further and further, so a wizard family went to investigate, but none of the apprentices they sent came back from the Doom Cemetery. The wizard family reported the matter to the nearby wizard organization. Seeing that this matter was related to doom, the wizard organization thought that it was caused by the Elfa wizard, and handed the matter over to the Elfa wizard lineage.

In this way, an Elfa wizard was sent to the Doom Cemetery to investigate the situation.

Elfa wizards are a special type of wizards in the Western Land wizard world. They can barely be considered as prophetic wizards, but they are not prophetic wizards, nor do they explore fate. Instead, they hide behind fate and manipulate doom.

Everything related to doom and curse is their specialty.

But an Elfa wizard who has been accompanied by the curse of doom for many years could not resist the doom of the Doom Cemetery and ended up with death.

Now, the Elfa wizards are furious. A large number of Elfa wizards went to investigate.

Then they found that no Elfa wizard could resist the bad luck of the Doom Cemetery. This bad luck even exceeded the rules. It was like an unreasonable underlying logic loophole. As long as you get involved, you will definitely be unlucky.

The more powerful the Elfa wizard, the easier it is to die in the Doom Cemetery.

Later, this matter spread to the source world. After a large number of legendary wizards went to investigate, it was finally confirmed that the cause of the doom in the cemetery was a mysterious object.

Because of the bad luck, the mysterious power was covered up and was not discovered in the first time.

A mysterious hunter from the Order Guild dug the mysterious object out of the ground and finally confirmed it.

"And this mysterious object, I believe you have guessed, is from Childe. It is a small round bone fragment that fell after his skull cracked."

"The birth of this round bone fragment has caused many legendary wizards to take action for it. As I said before, a legendary wizard was forced to enter the disorder rhythm because he was besieged because he obtained the bone fragment. In desperation, he decided to burn himself and enter the disorder rhythm of other disordered objects with the bone fragment."

"Unfortunately, he was captured by the disorder rhythm, but the bone fragment was left behind."

"Later, this bone fragment was obtained by a level 5 Erfa wizard. This Erfa wizard has a good relationship with the Order Guild and is a registered mystery hunter. He gave the bone fragment to our Order Guild for research for a period of time."

At this point, the Inspector said something off topic.

The Order Guild can analyze the effects of mysterious objects on behalf of you, and it only costs a small price. If you have obtained a mysterious object and the effect on it is not clear, you can give it to the Order Guild for analysis.

The Inspector also enthusiastically suggested to Angel that if he obtained a mysterious object in the future, he could also go to the Order Guild to find a specialized technician to help analyze it. Tell his name and the price will be much cheaper.

Angel smiled instead of answering.

He believed that the Inspector might just have good intentions, but once he handed the mysterious object to the Order Guild for analysis, he would inevitably bear the corresponding price. For example, the analyzed mysterious object would definitely be recorded by the Order Guild; and his own background would be investigated by the Order Guild.

Even if the Order Guild was fair and objective, it could not withstand the change of people's minds. If someone had bad intentions and his background was discovered by others, it would put him in a very dangerous situation.

Skipping this topic, the Inspector continued.

"After the study of the Order Guild, Childe's bone fragment was finally named: Doom Coin."

"As for the effect of the coin of doom, it is consistent with what Charles encountered at the beginning."

Angel: "Will the holder cause bad luck?"

The inspector nodded: "Yes, the coin of doom can only be held by humans, and the person holding the coin of doom will continue to have bad luck, and this bad luck will increase over time."

"Correspondingly, once the coin of doom is held by someone, the luck of other people around this person will get better. The better your luck, the worse the luck of the person holding the coin will be."

That is to say, the magnitude of bad luck increases in two ways: first, the longer the holding time, the deeper the bad luck piles up; second, the greater the blessings of other people around, the stronger the bad luck of the holder.

At first glance, this is a mysterious thing that sacrifices itself for the benefit of the masses. If used properly, it seems not bad.

But in reality, many factors must be considered, such as the strength of the holder.

The end of bad luck backlash will eventually be death. If the holder is not strong enough, he will die in a few seconds.

As for letting ordinary people hold the coin of doom and the extraordinary people enjoy the blessing, this is even more impossible.

In order for the extraordinary people to obtain the blessing, the extraordinary people of the same level must accept the sanction of doom.

This restriction greatly reduces the value of the coin of doom. After all, many of the people who use the coin of doom are legendary wizards. If they want to enjoy the blessing of luck, they must be held by another legendary wizard. No legendary wizard would be willing to hold the coin of doom...

"Also, once the coin of doom is not held by anyone, it will form a doom field with a range of one kilometer."

"This doom field is similar to the situation of the cemetery of doom. Whoever enters will be unlucky, and the stronger the strength, the more unlucky it will be."

In general, although the coin of doom has a good effect, it has many restrictions and there are few opportunities to use it.

At present, the coin of doom is contained by the Order Guild. Of course, the Order Guild only has the right to contain and part of the right to use. The real ownership still belongs to the fifth-level evil wizard.

...

After listening to the story told by the Inspector, Angel seemed to understand what the Inspector wanted to express.

"Your Excellency means that Reynolds' situation may be similar to that of Childe?"

Inspector: "I am just guessing, it is my personal conviction, and there is no actual evidence."

"If Reynolds dies now, a mysterious thing will be born on his body?" Angel muttered in a low voice.

The Inspector waved his hand: "It's not as simple as you think. Although Reynolds seems to have a lucky talent, it is not obvious, and it is a little different from Childe's situation."

Reynolds' luck is not too strong, it can only be said that it is within a reasonable range of luck.

If it is really strong, Reynolds will not be pulled down so quickly in the Rising Star Competition, but will triumph all the way and reach the top directly.

Also, more than ten years ago, Reynolds escaped from the laboratory, and if he was really lucky, he would not be caught back.

Obviously, his luck is not as strong as imagined.

"If his luck is really as obvious as Chard's, then it will be easy to confirm. Now, it's still hard to say, maybe it's just good luck?"

"Besides, if Reynolds was killed, it's not certain that a mysterious thing would be born. After all, I've never heard of anyone giving birth to a mysterious thing by killing someone with special talents."

"What I told you is just to tell you a direction to think about, a possibility. It's not an absolute answer."

"As for the mysterious thing, except for those that are artificially refined, let it be born naturally."
