This Curse Is Just Awesome

Dong!

The slightly rusted car door was tightly shut.

Jieyi stretched tiredly and pointed at the huge city gate in front of her. “We’re here, Tang City.”

“We’ll stay here for the night,” the old woman said calmly. “Jill, contact the local authorities and ask them to prepare a transport plane. We’ll leave tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.” Jill nodded.

“Jieyi, go and arrange the accommodations.”

“Okay.”

“As for the two of you…” The old woman turned her head and looked at Chen Yu and Bahuang Yi. “Go wherever you want. But we have to meet at the airport punctually before 8 o’clock tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

Bahuang Yi did not turn his head back. He simply responded and left with the shivering Chen Yu.

After entering the city gate, they walked into a hidden alley.

Bahuang Yi stopped and said, “Where is Bahuang Yao?”

“Ah… She… She is… I don’t know what the name of that place is.”

“Lead the way.”

“Why don’t we go and have some food first? I think you are hungry too…”

“Lead the way.” Bahuang Yi’s eyes were cold as he cut him off in a concise manner.

“Oh, okay.”

Swallowing his saliva, Chen Yu had no choice but to brace himself and bring Bahuang Yi around the huge Tang City.

First, they went to the National Mine Park.

Then, they went to the Shadow Puppetry Theme Park.

South Lake, Swan Lake, canal, Chinatown, and Nightless City were all patronized.

Even the familiar ‘red light district’ was not left behind.

Finally.

The two of them stopped at the ‘Li Tang Tijiang’ sweat evaporation, foot bath, and spa center.

“Brother Yi, it’s already dark after walking around. Let me treat you to a bath.”

Bahuang Yi grabbed Chen Yu’s collar and his arm trembled slightly.

It was a sign that he was trying his best to suppress his violent emotions.

“Bahuang Yao, where exactly is she?”

“…” Chen Yu lowered his head and fell silent.

“Did something happen to her?”

“…Brother Yi.” Chen Yu sighed deeply and wiped his face in pain. “Now that things have come to this, I won’t hide it from you anymore. I can’t hide it anymore. Xiao Yao, she…”

“What’s wrong with her?” Bahuang Yi’s eyes narrowed into slits and his body trembled even more.

“You… come with me.” Chen Yu turned around and walked in a direction. “This time, I won’t go easy on you.”

Bahuang Yi clenched his fists and immediately followed behind Chen Yu.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, crossed three blocks and arrived at a private hospital.

On the large plaque of the hospital, the words ‘Tang City Antipsychotic Mental Disease Treatment and Research Institute’ were written.

“Xiao Yao, she’s in here.” Chen Yu’s expression was serious.

“Cut the crap.”

“Okay.”

Nodding, Chen Yu brought Bahuang Yi into the hospital and said to the staff at the front desk, “I’m a friend of Ma Li’s. I’ve been here before.”

“Oh! I recognize you. Are you going to…”

“That’s good.”

After saying that, Chen Yu ignored the shocked expression of the staff and directly pressed the dedicated elevator.

“Sir… you…”

“We’re here to see a companion we left behind.” Chen Yu said seriously, “You can ask the director. We have an appointment.”

After saying that, he entered the elevator with Bahuang Yi and headed underground.

“Uh…”

The staff hesitated for a long time before deciding to pick up the phone and ask the director…

In the elevator.

Chen Yu opened his backpack and said solemnly, “Xiao Yao is in Room 3 below. When the capital city was destroyed, Ma Li and I sent her here. Ma Li is the supplier of this hospital…”

Before Chen Yu could finish, Bahuang Yi interrupted him in a low voice. “Bahuang Yao, is she injured?”

“Yes, seriously injured. The medical conditions in this hospital are pretty good, but they can barely maintain Xiao Yao’s physiological functions.”

Ding!

There was a crisp sound.

The elevator door opened.

Chen Yu was the first to walk out, and he took out a bag of water from his bag.

“What’s this?” Bahuang Yi frowned.

“The key to Room 3 on the ground floor, I hid it inside.”

As he spoke, Chen Yu casually patted the water bag as he walked.

Pa!

The water bag broke.

Balls of black powder instantly scattered out.

“Sneak attack!”

Ultimate kill!

Wood Powder…

In an instant, less than 0.1 seconds.

Bahuang Yi, who was stuck behind Chen Yu, became a wooden sculpture. He froze on the spot and slowly fell down.

Pa.

Chen Yu hurriedly turned around to catch him, preventing Bahuang Yi’s body from being ‘crushed.’ Then, he heaved a huge sigh of relief.

“Finally, it’s done…”

Unlike Jill, Bahuang Yi was too difficult to deal with.

In order to lower his vigilance, Chen Yu could only bring him around the city, hinting that something might have happened to his sister, Bahuang Yao.

After that, he adjusted and controlled Bahuang Yi’s emotions step by step, causing his attention to completely change from ‘watching’ Chen Yu to ‘worrying’ about Bahuang Yao.

In the end, a hand of black Wood Conversion Powder suddenly appeared, causing the other party to turn into wood without any room for thought…

As for where the Wood Conversion Powder came from…

It was naturally what he had collected back then in the alien realm.

There were a total of three bags.

Now that he had used one bag, there were only two left…

“This is too much. This wave of operation of mine.”

Chen Yu smacked his lips in satisfaction.

This set-up had started when he had come out from the northeast.

One ring after another.

Although it was a little ‘unnecessary’, as long as he could get rid of Bahuang Yi, it was worth it no matter how complicated it was…

“Then now, I can slip away.”

Rubbing his hands, Chen Yu carried the wooden figure that Bahuang Yi had turned into and walked forward. “Return to Shanghai? I have so many things to do, and I still have to resurrect Xiao Yao. How can I have the time to go to Shanghai?”

Soon.

He walked to the door of an office and gently knocked on it.

Dong dong.

“Who is it?”

A familiar voice came from inside the door.

Chen Yu said, “Don’t worry about where I came from.”

“My hometown is far away!” The door was suddenly pushed open. A man in a white coat hugged Chen Yu and said excitedly, “Why are you wandering around? Just to find a place where there is fairness! Comrade, it’s you!”

“Yeah.” Chen Yu put on a fake smile.

The man immediately led Chen Yu into the room and locked the door. “Why did the organization send you to find me this time? The director of the Public Security Bureau has also been pulled in by me! Half of Tang City is now our Fair Association’s people.”

Chen Yu: “…Heh heh, well done.”

“It’s all because of the organization’s cultivation!” The man patted his chest proudly. “Next, I’m going to contact the mayor of Tang City.”

Chen Yu: “…”

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu’s right hand was like lightning.

Bang!

He knocked heavily on the back of the man’s neck.

“Uh… Coo coo…”

The man in the white coat was caught off guard. His eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground.

“Your level of professionalism is a little too much, Brother.”

He stretched his leg and moved the man to the side.

Chen Yu placed Bahuang Yi on the table, took out his cell phone, and quickly dialed Ma Li’s phone number.

Du —

“Hello? Chen Yu?”

The call was connected in a second.

“Yes, it’s me.”

“Chen Yu! Where the hell have you been? Why did you only remember to contact us?” From the receiver came Ma Li’s angry roar.

“Ah…”

Without waiting for Chen Yu to explain, Chen Siwen’s slightly sobbing voice sounded from the receiver. “Xiao Yu, why did you disappear for so long? I don’t even know how to explain it to Mom.”

“There was an accident in the alien realm, and it was delayed for a few days. Then, I was taken away by Bahuang Yi and the others, and they wanted to take me to Shanghai to study. So, I didn’t find the time to contact you guys. Let’s not talk about small talk for now. Sis, give the phone to Ma Li. I’m very anxious on my side.”

“Hello, it’s me.” The voice was changed to Ma Li. “What’s going on on your side?”

Chen Yu used his shoulder to hold the phone. As he searched for a suitable container, he asked, “Do people who have been turned into wood by Wood Powder need to be soaked in that kind of tree juice?”

“Yes.”

“You can also add water?”

“Yes, but the effect will be very slow.”

“I have a person here who has been mummified. I have tree sap. How much do I need to add water to revive him in half an hour?”

“Wait a moment. I’ll ask my sister.”

“Okay.”

Chen Yu nodded. He put down his phone and dragged a large potted plant from the office over. He pulled out the tree trunk and poured out the soil.

Then, he used a plastic bag to block the water hole at the bottom and stuffed Bahuang Yi into it.

The left and right width were more than enough.

However, in terms of length, there were two legs sticking out…

“Hmm…”

Chen Yu frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, he bent down and exerted some force.

Kacha.

The two legs were broken off and thrown to the side of his body.

“Hmm. This time, it can fit.”

Bahuang Yi: “…”

The damage to the wooden body also meant that the normal body was damaged.

However, with just a broken ankle, as long as he contacted Jill and the others afterward, with the medical technology of this world, it would be as easy as flipping his hand to reattach the foot.

“Don’t blame me, it’s all for the people…”

Pa pa.

Patting the dust on his hand, he picked up the phone and asked, “Is it done?”

“It’s done. Is it convenient for the video call?”

“No problem.”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu opened his WeChat app and made a video call with Ma Li.

“Who is this person?”

The video call was turned on, and Ma Li looked at it in confusion.

Although the details of a person who had turned into wood were clear…

But Bahuang Yi was upside down, so Ma Li could not recognize him.

Chen Yu did not reveal Bahuang Yi’s identity. He raised the water bag filled with tree sap to the camera and asked, “How much is it?”

“Is there a weighing tool nearby?”

“Yes.”

“Then you should first weigh how much is in this bag of sap. Then, you should slowly add 300:1 of clear water to see how it recovers before changing the ratio…”

Five minutes later.

Under the guidance of Ma Li and Ma Yan, Chen Yu brought out 340:1 of mixed water and soaked Bahuang Yi in it.

It was visible to the naked eye.

The other party’s originally wooden body was slowly becoming ‘soft’.

“Okay.”

Chen Yu heaved a sigh of relief. He picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote two lines of words.

[Brother Yi, I’ll be leaving first.]

[Bahuang Yao is actually fine, don’t worry.]

He folded the letter and placed it beside the potted plant.

Chen Yu grabbed the unconscious man in a white coat and opened the door. He turned around and ran.

He followed the stairs to the first floor and threw the man away.

Plop.

He fell to the ground, causing the people in the hall to cry out in surprise.

“Ma Li, now you find a way to contact the Shanghai authorities anonymously. Then get the Shanghai authorities to contact Jill and tell him to come to this hospital underground to save people.”

“Okay,” Ma Li said, “Then where are you going?”

“I’m going to escape first.” Chen Yu jumped onto the hospital wall and looked around. He hesitated. “Well… you guys go back to Qingcheng now. Use the safest way to go back.”

“What about you?” Chen Siwen interjected anxiously through the receiver.

“Of course I’m going back to Qingcheng. Oh, by the way, how long will it take you guys to get to Qingcheng?”

“Four days at most.”

“Okay. I’m only a day’s journey away from Qingcheng. I’ll stay here for three days and we can arrive together.”

“Xiao Yu…”

“Speak.”

“Take care of yourself. Don’t do anything stupid.”

“Sure.” Chen Yu smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to hang up, he heard BB’s voice again.

“Sir! Just like CF, if you die, I’ll definitely sweep your grave.”

Chen Yu: “…Good girl, so thoughtful.”

He hung up the video call.

Turning around, he looked at the hospital behind him. Chen Yu was in a particularly good mood and left with a leap…

About five minutes later.

Three bursts of violent energy and raging flames accompanied him.

The old woman, Jill, and Jieyi rushed over together.

The three of them completely ignored the hospital’s leaders who had just arrived. They directly smashed through the ground and jumped into the ground.

Dong!

Dong! Dong!

The three of them raised their legs and kicked repeatedly.

They kicked over one door after another.

Until they found the house that Bahuang Yi was in.

“Here!”

Jieyi greeted him, and the old woman and Jill instantly ran over.

Jill: “…”

The old woman: “…”

Seeing Bahuang Yi in the pool, Jill clenched his fists and trembled.

“Chen… Chen Yu… You f*cking… You f*cking did great! Hahahahahaha…”

Jill laughed wildly and ran out of the room in joy. “I’m going to look for sh*t, I’m going to look for sh*t…”

The old woman: “…”

She walked forward.

She observed the recovery of Bahuang Yi and narrowed her eyes. “Chen Yu…”

“Chen Yu…”

…

At the same time.

Chen Yu ran around in the sea of people and confirmed that he was completely drowned in the ‘flow of people.’

Then, he left Tang City at lightning speed and arrived at the alien realm of Bodhi Island in a serpentine shape.

He was still one realm away from the so-called curse strengthening.

Chen Yu decided to use these three days to destroy the alien realm of Bodhi Island.

It didn’t matter if he succeeded or not.

It was good if he succeeded.

If he didn’t, he would continue to return to Qingcheng and meet up with Ma Li and the others to start the work of reviving Bahuang Yao.

At the same time, he could hide in the alien realm and avoid the ‘pursuit’ of Bahuang Yi and the others.

He put on his mask.

He entered the alien realm hall.

Chen Yu looked around and found that the once bustling and prosperous place was now deserted.

The destruction of the capital city had caused the entire world to lose confidence in fighting against the exotic beasts.

‘Live one day at a time’ had become the consensus of everyone.

Without the need to improve, no matter how ‘hot’ the alien realm used to be, no one would pursue it anymore.

“Phew…”

Inexplicably sighing, Chen Yu strode to the front desk. “Beauty, buy a ticket.”

“No need to buy a ticket, come in.” The female staff member yawned tiredly.

“No ticket?”

“No one has come yet.” The woman rolled her eyes.

“Emm.”

Nodding, Chen Yu strode away…

…

“Principal.”

Shanghai, in a secret office.

The female assistant looked desperate as she handed over a document. “According to the radar detection of the kamikaze fleet… The scale of the Beast Tide this time is three times that of the Beast Tide in the capital city.”

“…”

The Principal of Beijing University reached out his hand to receive the document, but his movements suddenly stopped. “Beast Tide… How much longer until it arrives?”

“Three days.”

“It’s too late to evacuate.”

“Yes.” The female assistant bit her lip, allowing the smell of blood to spread through her mouth. “Because the Beast Tide this time is in the sea, we weren’t able to observe it in advance. Principal…”

The Principal of Beijing University: “…”

“If Shanghai is also destroyed…”

“…”

“What should we do…”

The dark room was silent for a long time.

The Principal of Beijing University stood up with great difficulty, closed his eyes, and raised his head.

“Who…”

“Save us.”

Under the flickering light.

In the shadows that were ignored by the light.

The two of them did not notice that a tender green bud had unknowingly broken open in a small pot of withered vase…
