Chapter 232: Origin of the Curse (Please Subscribe)

January 5th.

Aaron went out for a stroll, paused in front of several housing advertisements, and spoke with a few merchants interested in selling property.

Finally, at night, he ate dinner at a relatively famous restaurant nearby.

After enjoying the last piece of grilled lamb chop, Aaron wiped his palms clean with a towel, stood up to pay the bill, and walked out of the restaurant.

His pace was neither hurried nor slow, and suddenly, he turned and walked into a secluded alley.

"Come out, Miss Tasha, you have been following me for a long time."

Aaron said as if he were a naive youth: "As for the ability of the 'Crying Blade', it is that the wounds it creates cannot heal and will bleed continuously..."

Lower City District, 'Vulture' organization base.

"Boss, 'Red Bee' has returned."

"This kind of wound, is it that curse?"

"Very good, as long as it is crafted into a Magical Item, that 'Craftsman' must have also been struck by the curse."

Tasha wanted to curse a string of profanities, but as she stared at her palm that would not stop bleeding, her face was full of fear.

"In-depth communication?" Aaron sneered, took a long, narrow box from his bosom, and opened it to reveal a pitch-black dagger inside, with dark red blood grooves and strange patterns on the blade: "This is the finished product, you should pay up now."

In the very center of her originally fair palm, there was a striking wound cut by a blade!

At this moment, a large amount of blood was surging out from it.

Tasha gritted her teeth: "Once I recover, I will definitely make him know what regret is!"

'That's right, it really is this curse ability!'

"Apprentice... have you found his teacher yet?" Maige's aura instantly became somewhat dangerous.

"One from the 'Pupa' path? The ability seems to be manipulating insects as well..."

"It is called the 'Crying Blade', and its negative effect is that it will make your sense of touch become extremely acute, to the point where even a light touch will bring a strange pleasure... If you cannot adapt, you will be very passive in battle."

Screams and the sound of a dagger hitting the ground rang out simultaneously.

Her Extraordinary Ability was manipulating insects, but the Demon insects in Aaron's hands were clearly more terrifying than hers!

Aaron stepped forward, used a paper towel to dab some of the blood Tasha had shed on the ground, and returned to the inn.

At this moment, he was pouring rye beer into his mouth, just like drinking water.

Tasha's figure emerged from the shadows like a chameleon, her legs in high heels as nimble as a cat.

'Naive!'

After her back disappeared, pitch-black beetles emerged one by one, fiercer than the strange insects, devouring the mosquitoes and flies one by one, and before long, they had swallowed them all.

"Yes, that cursed object has already been crafted into a dagger, possessing the ability to create bleeding wounds... I was played by that apprentice. Damn it..."

Tasha cursed at Laode, who was nearby, making the latter hurry into a room inside to retrieve a box of ointment-like items.

A subordinate named 'Laode', who was also an Extraordinary but had only opened the First Primordial Substance, came in to report: "Her condition is very bad..."

Tasha looked at her blood-soaked palm, a look of terror rising on her face.

"You..."

Aaron touched his chest, which had no injuries at all, and picked up the 'Crying Blade' from the ground again: "After this one injury, it can serve its new master wholeheartedly... Because you were the one who moved first and tore up the contract, we are already enemies, and I do not need to return this Magical Item to you; this is in accordance with law and justice."

"It has actually been completed?"

Subsequently, by relying on being brave and ruthless, taking in some heinous criminals, and picking up the remaining benefits between large organizations, the 'Vulture' developed, and its reputation in the Mysterious world was very poor, being regarded as scavenging vultures.

Maige was the beast-like man who had a room in the Moving Castle and conspired with Tasha.

She suddenly whistled.

Aaron turned around, looking at the shadows of the street, his tone calm.

Seeing Tasha's continuously bleeding wound, Maige said in a deep voice.

Not long after, Tasha walked in; her right hand was already wrapped in thick gauze, but it was still continuously seeping blood, soaking the entire palm red.

"No... hurry up and take out the ointment from last time, I'm about to die from blood loss!"

Tasha's eyes lit up, and her right fingertips lightly stroked the blade, seemingly testing the sharpness of the edge.

Aaron walked out from within, his expression indifferent, seemingly not caring at all about Tasha's escape.

"Gelin... you surprised me."

Buzz buzz!

From the darkness, many strange insects like mosquitoes flew out, charging toward Aaron.

The 'Vulture' was not strong; it had transformed from an original gang, and the leader Maige had only accidentally obtained the inheritance after poisoning and assassinating a Mysterious person.

"Maige... I failed, we both underestimated that young apprentice, he is strong, no, very cunning!"

"Oh, forgot to tell you, the 'Crying Blade' has another hidden negative effect; I performed a 'Mirror Reflection' secret ritual for it, so the first injury it inflicts on others will be rebounded, landing on the hand of the perpetrator... Very merciful, right? This contains the philosophy that teaches us to be kind..."

Tasha gritted her teeth, turned her body, and fled the scene quickly.

He wanted to use this medium to divine Tasha's whereabouts and the terrible encounter she was about to face.

"You followed me? What exactly is it for?"

"Hurry up and pay, I don't want to trade with a dishonest person like you next time." Aaron said, appearing dissatisfied.

"I'm just curious about the caster behind you..." Tasha said a lie she didn't even believe herself, with a sincere and charming smile on her face, stepping forward: "I want to have more in-depth communication with you..."

They had once discovered a terrifying ancient ruin, were entangled by the curse remaining inside, and left with bleeding wounds on their bodies that would not heal!

Tasha could not hide her surprise, while secretly rejoicing in her heart: 'Thinking about trading at a time like this, how naive... Fortunately, since the production is complete, it means the person behind him is already under the control of our 'Vulture'.'

She had not discovered the master caster behind this Gelin, so if it was not necessary, Tasha did not want to fall out with Gelin.

After all... Aaron had triggered the curse contained in that original withered palm all at once and transferred it to the dagger!

She twisted her water-snake waist and stepped forward, taking the dagger: "Its name? And the negative effect?"

Tasha sneered inwardly, pretending to reach out with her left hand to grab the wallet, while the Crying Blade in her right hand suddenly flashed in a beautiful arc, stabbing into Aaron's chest!

"Ah!"

Maige nodded in satisfaction.

Aaron asked, feigning shock and anger.

It was fortunate that Tasha had already left; otherwise, if she had seen this scene, she likely would have been scared to death.

Fortunately, Maige had been ruthless that time, paying the painful price of half the organization's members' casualties to bring out a method for making a healing potion from the ruins—that very ointment.

Otherwise, the Vulture organization would likely have been completely wiped out under that terrifying curse!
