Chapter 549

So I ask you not to meddle in matters that don't concern you, or you'll taste true wrath.

The man's voice sounded like metal scraping—harsh and grating.

At the same time, Luo En could feel that as they spoke, energy was streaming out of his body in waves.

Such terrifying energy leakage only occurs in true experts.

Luo En knew the man before him was no ordinary figure.

And though his voice was not loud, it was unpleasant and could infiltrate and disturb the mind.

Luo En suspected this man might be connected to those curses.

But he did not know this man.

This man had never appeared in the manga either.

"Who are you? If you won't tell me—"

"Then I'll take charge of this matter anyway."

Luo En said calmly, feigning composure as he stared at the man, though his nerves were taut.

Ready for battle at any moment.

He didn't know if the newcomer was friend or foe.

And he couldn't even guess the man's true strength.

"Is that so? But if you meddle in this, you may not end well."

Luo En smiled faintly.

"Many people have said the same thing to me."

"Yet in the end, their fates weren't better than mine."

The man suddenly drew close to Luo En and whispered in his ear.

"The problems this world faces now are not something you can provoke."

Do you even know what you're provoking? In complete ignorance—

You still choose to act. That is unquestionably foolish and dangerous.

So I advise you to let go now."

The man before him pressed down on Luo En with immense weight.

He hadn't moved, hadn't fully unleashed his inner energy.

Yet merely standing before Luo En, the man radiated an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Strange—this man's strength must be immense, yet he never showed any intention to strike.

Instead, he kept repeating the same words to Luo En: let go, don't meddle.

Luo En shook his head and said.

"I admit your suggestion is reasonable."

"But unfortunately, I cannot let go."

Since I've come to this world, I must do something meaningful."

"Otherwise, what's the point of coming here?"

"Then don't come crying when you regret it."

After speaking those words, the man suddenly vanished from before Luo En.

Luo En didn't understand why the man had appeared out of nowhere to warn him.

And the man carried no trace of curse energy.

If he were truly a curse, he wouldn't have hesitated—he'd have struck already.

Luo En could feel the power radiating from the man was terrifying.

Yet the man didn't strike; he gave the warning and vanished.

This intrigued Luo En deeply.

But right now, he couldn't determine the man's identity.

After thinking it over, Luo En decided that if the man reappeared, he'd eventually uncover the truth.

Luo En walked slowly along the path.

Suddenly, a woman who looked extremely frail brushed past him.

But Luo En suddenly lifted his head in alertness.

He sensed a terrifying aura emanating from the woman.

This energy signature was extremely similar to the curses he'd encountered before.

Luo En froze—could this woman already be bound by a curse?

He quickly stepped forward and tapped her shoulder.

The woman turned and saw Luo En; she clearly grew wary.

She said.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Luo En knew it seemed abrupt, but he was anxious. "Have you been feeling uneasy lately? Do you often have nightmares?"

The woman was clearly startled, but she assumed Luo En was either a con artist or trying to take advantage.

She replied sharply.

"There's nothing like that."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

Luo En hadn't intended to meddle in the first place.

But he saw a layer of black mist缠绕ing the woman.

It was an extremely terrifying aura.

Even though Luo En did not possess cursed energy, he could still feel the strength of this aura.

This proved the woman might soon face misfortune.

To think that a living soul was about to vanish before his eyes.

Luo En could not possibly stand by and do nothing.

So Luo En stepped forward again and grabbed the woman.

"Have you been to school recently, or have you come into contact with something?"

Luo En said solemnly.

The woman looked at Luo En in surprise.

"How do you know I went to school? I'm a student there."

Luo En said.

"Is your school now sealed off?"

The woman nodded, her eyes even more surprised.

It seemed this man understood everything, yet she remained wary.

So she did not plan to ask Luo En any questions, but simply stared at him.

Luo En said.

"If I'm not mistaken,

your school should be not far ahead."

He pointed ahead.

It was precisely the school he had previously gone to with Henggang.

"That one?"

The woman nodded.

Luo En said, "That's right—the curse has already wrapped itself around you.

If I'm not mistaken, this condition has lasted two or three days."

He noticed how intense the aura on the woman was.

It must have lasted a long time; the two or three days was just his guess.

It probably wasn't far off.

After all, the entire school was sealed off within those two or three days.

The woman nodded; she seemed to believe Luo En now.
