Chapter 118 The Cursed

Sharon, who was wearing a long black court dress, slightly pursed her bloodless lips, looked sideways at Maric, and nodded slightly.

Maric clasped his hands and said with a little madness:

"You should know the 'Prisoner' route, right?"

"Yes, I've heard of it in the Extraordinary circle." Klein replied frankly.

Of course, this extraordinary circle refers to the Nighthawks team and the Tarot Society... He added with a sigh in his heart.

Maric didn't know what he recalled, and was silent for more than ten seconds. The sound of the wheels of the carriage rolling over the concrete road outside the window came in rhythmically.

He rubbed his messy brown hair, and said with a slightly distorted face:

"Prisoners not only refer to people who are locked in prison, but also represent repressed people whose spirituality and desires are bound by reason, body, and the world. Extraordinary people in this sequence are physically strong and sensitive, and often have a silent appearance and a crazy mind at the same time. In his heart, he has many criminal skills and is good at killing people with any item he can get at hand."

"Its corresponding Sequence 8 is called 'Madman'. I don't think you know it well, because even the orthodox Extraordinary institutions of the Seven Great Churches don't know enough about these. That secret organization has more control over its members than you can imagine. Those The distorted guys seem to be bound regardless of body and soul, and it is difficult to get any useful information from them simply by psychic and divination."

"Sharon and I endured and waited for a long time before we found a way to release the 'shackles' and successfully escaped."

"Because Extraordinary people in this path are cursed and prone to madness, we don't want to take refuge in the Seven Great Churches. They will lose their freedom completely, and there will be nothing left."

It turned out to be like this... No wonder there aren't many records in the internal data of the Nighthawks, not even the Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 corresponding to the "prisoner". This belongs to the part that I could know at the level at that time... Klein replied in a daze :

"I really don't know what happened after 'Prisoner'."

Maric didn't nod, looked at Klein with brown eyes, and continued:

"Compared to 'Prisoner', the biggest feature of 'Madman' is that he can sacrifice his sanity on his own initiative and burst out desires in exchange for strength and gain improvement in all aspects, except that the mind will become less clear during that time, and There isn't much of a problem, and it's even possible to gain a strong resistance to certain extraordinary abilities that interfere with one's thoughts and affect one's spirit.

"

To put it simply, if I kill myself first, you won't be able to kill me anymore... Klein couldn't help but slander.

"From this sequence, the curse gradually appeared, and the 'crazy' is easy to lose control." Maric said with a twitch of his face muscles.

Isn't this an obvious thing to do? If a person's mental state has been running at a low ebb for a long time, or has frequent abnormalities, the probability of losing control is no higher than that of other extraordinary people, so it is not normal! Klein had his own understanding of this. He glanced sideways at Miss Sharron, feeling that it was difficult for him to imagine what she looked like in the "prisoner" and "lunatic" stages, but Sharron still maintained the erratic and quiet look of a female ghost. state.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Maric breathed out slowly and said:

"The next Sequence 7 is 'Werewolf'."

Alienation started? However, in the eyes of normal people, the crazy "prisoner" and the "lunatic" who tend to lose their minds are actually similar to other types... Well, the "werewolf" is actually only Sequence 7, which is a little lower than I expected... Klein His thoughts suddenly spread out.

Maric didn't notice that he was in a trance, and said to himself:

"The 'Werewolf' is already a complete cursed person. Every time the red moon turns full, he will lose most of his sanity, grow black hair all over his body, and his desire to kill and bloodthirsty will reach its peak..."

His voice gradually became a little erratic, as if recalling the experience of suffering and suppressing himself.

"'Werewolf' has a strong self-recovery ability, as well as terrifying strength, agility and speed. His claws and teeth are no worse than extraordinary weapons of the same sequence, and they are inherently poisonous. He also knows some dark spells, such as , control the target that has been soaked in the body by werewolf poison for a period of time, and transform the opponent into a subordinate, into a werewolf-like monster, and the life of such monsters is often very short..."

After listening to Maric, Klein made a pertinent evaluation:

At the level of Sequence 7, in terms of actual combat ability, "Werewolf" is considered above average.

"The 'werewolves' who are always unable to suppress the desire to kill and bloodthirsty on the night of the full moon will become more and more ruthless and distorted, gradually losing the emotions that normal humans should have." Maric added, his tone was a little hard to hide proud of.

It matches Mr. Azik's description of the alien species... Klein subconsciously glanced at Miss Sharron again, and instinctively imagined the other party's "werewolf" state, but was almost shivered by the cold eyes. He forcibly turned his head back.

Maric unconsciously licked his lower lip with his tongue, not the kind that women seduce, but the type that gives people a very dangerous feeling.

His eyes seemed to lose focus for a short while, and he didn't know what to recall.

After waiting for a few seconds, he spoke again:

"I am the corresponding Sequence 6, 'living corpse'."

A living corpse... It looks so similar... No wonder it often plays cards with a bunch of the same kind... It turns out that this is also a living corpse... Klein thought for a while and said:

"I heard Kaspers say that you are not afraid of bullets?"

Maric nodded and said:

"My body can be as hard as steel. Even if you shoot a revolver against my head, I will be dizzy at most. It takes at least five hits to the same position to break my defense."

"And even if it breaks, to the 'living corpse', as long as the head is not broken, other injuries are not fatal."

"My strength has been improved on the basis of 'Werewolf', and I have mastered some death-like spells. I can easily wake up dead bodies, control ghosts, drive them, and skillfully use extraordinary powers of cold and decay."

Different pathways also have different characteristics for each sequence, and there are very few progressive changes... Klein pondered for a while and said:

"Then, what about the curse of the 'living corpse'?"

Maric gritted his teeth slightly and said:

"I will long for the warm blood and fresh flesh of human beings. This state is especially serious during the full moon. The only consolation is that the curse of 'living corpse' has replaced the curse of 'werewolf' and the curse of 'madman'. They don't exist at the same time, nor afterwards."

"Whenever the red moon becomes full, I will be in great pain. If I don't give up my self-control, I will suffer so much that I will lose the ability to fight. If I indulge myself, I will also become less and less human, and the risk of losing control is very high."

"Even in normal times, I am always fighting against the desire in my heart and against strong malice."

Phew, compared to Extraordinary of this path, others are much better, uh, except for 'Abyss' and 'Witch'... Klein spontaneously came up with such an idea.

Maric paused and glanced at Sharon who was wearing a small black soft hat.

Sharon opened her lips, and said in an illusory voice:

"Sequence 5, 'Wraith'."

Wraith? And this sequence? It really is a different way... Klein was a little surprised at first, and then felt that this really fits the characteristics of the easy transformation between the physical body and the spiritual body.

Maric, who was prompted, added:

"After becoming a 'Wraith', you can transform your own state into a real shadow, and obtain corresponding abilities, such as passing through obstacles, hiding in mirrors, directly attacking the opponent's soul, and jumping on most of the reflections that can be reflected. place of images."

"And unlike ordinary resentful souls, even if they have spiritual vision, they won't be able to find this kind of ghost without a high-sequence."

"Well, the 'Resentful Soul' also mastered many death-like spells, and has many weird skills, such as forcibly possessing a body and controlling the enemy..."

"Her curse is that on the night when the red moon becomes full, she will either absorb a certain number of human souls, or become extremely weak. If she chooses the former, she will choose to walk on the verge of losing control all the time."

Before Klein could speak, Sharon, who was also pale, said in a flickering manner:

"Our goal is also 'resentful souls'."

"The extraordinary abilities of 'Living Corpse', 'Werewolf', 'Madman' and 'Prisoner' will not be lost through promotion." Maric emphasized.

It sounds like the type that restrains me very much. I'm afraid that the bullets of this pistol won't be effective, and ordinary flames can hardly inflict great damage... To put it simply, I'm afraid of "ghosts"...Klein can hear it There is a little drumming in my heart.

He thought for a few seconds and said:

"What is the effect of that sealed item?"

"Why restrain you?"

It actually made you willing to tell me the weakness of your own curse... Klein probably has some guesses.

Maric replied with a slightly gloomy expression:

"The cursed item that needs to be sealed is called 'Crimson Moon Crown'."

"It can create a full moon-like effect in a certain range, which is a burst of strength for those who are already cold and twisted, but we will become weak and incapable of fighting. If, if you give up your ego, Then I would rather choose death!" Maric growled hoarsely.

Unexpectedly, you, who seem a bit perverted and a bit cowardly, are actually a persistent person. Well, it's really remarkable to be able to persist until you become a "living corpse"... Klein didn't interrupt, listening to the other party's follow-up description.

"The person wearing the 'Crimson Moon Crown' is immune to the effect of the full moon, and will gain terrifying speed, unimaginable recovery ability, and many relatively powerful dark spells, but it will gradually cool the wearer's blood. Frost bit by bit, if you can't stop in time or suck the blood of living people, you will eventually die because the blood turns into frost." Maric seems to be quite afraid of that sealed item.

After he finished speaking, Sharron's blue eyes looked at Klein calmly and said:

"Together with Steve are 'Living Corpse' Jason and 'Werewolf' Tyre."

"But as long as Steve can be dealt with, they're not a problem."

Maric added:

"If it succeeds, the Extraordinary characteristics left behind by Steve will belong to me, the 'Crimson Moon Crown' will belong to Sharon, and all the remaining spoils and the "Book of Secrets" will be your reward."
