Versatile Mage's Immortal Flame

Chapter 160 The Drowning Curse

Mu Ningxue had never felt that she was naturally beautiful, and she was more accustomed to attributing this boring chat-up phenomenon to her own hair color and snow-white skin.

In fact, what makes her different is that she is sick, but many men like her. She can only think that most men are sick.

"Are you a mage?" asked the shy young man in his twenties.

The man has black hair and is wearing a simple shirt. He has a very delicate appearance and bright eyes. He looks clean and sunny.

"Yeah." Mu Ningxue also responded.

"Why are you sitting here so early? What's on your mind... By the way, my name is Chiba-san. I'm here to study. Oh, oh, I'm a student at Waseda University." Chiba-san was sitting in Muning.

Xue stood aside and kept a very appropriate distance. He did not dare to get too close, lest he offend Mu Ningxue.

Mu Ningxue didn't say anything. Anyway, she would not tell others her name easily, nor would she reveal her identity as a student in the national government.

Although Qianye Sangren is a shy person, he is also considered a smart person, so he also knew that Mu Ningxue was unwilling to reveal any information, so he quickly changed the subject.

He looked a little unnatural, stared at the long beach, and said: "This wave receded very far, and the next high tide will be very dangerous. I don't know if the district owners of each block can handle it. I hope not

There will be Zhan Mi Yao..."

"What is the relationship between waves and monsters?" Mu Ningxue asked. She was not from the coast, so she didn't know much about sea monsters.

Qianye Sang's eyes lit up. Apparently he had found the right topic. He forced himself to calm down quickly, simply sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and then explained seriously: "Most sirens are used to being surrounded by people.

Fight in water areas, especially those that are more threatening to Donghai City.

The Kraken Legion, so wars are often related to the ebb of the tide. Once the sea water reaches the low embankment we are sitting on now, then the Krakens will follow the waves. If the sea water leaves Donghai City, then most of the Krakens will

The legion will also recede, which means that the greater the tide, the more sea monsters will attack!"

When Lai Hengbao was explaining the situation here to Ai Jiangtu and others, Mu Ningxue had already gone to her room to rest, so she didn't know much about Donghai City.

"Does the deeper retreat mean that the next rise will be higher?" Mu Ningxue's eyes also fell on the tide line that was getting further and further away from the low embankment.

"Well, many people think that the ocean is mysterious, but in fact the ocean has its own nature and laws. As long as we carefully observe the prompts she gives us, we can take various precautions... No matter what these sea monsters have

No matter how strong they are, no matter how many there are, they cannot disobey the rules of the ocean, so as long as you understand the sea, you are equivalent to understanding these sea monsters." Speaking of these things, Chiba-san's tone became obviously fluent.

, obviously he is very knowledgeable about these things and very confident.

Mu Ningxue nodded.

Chiba-san felt that he had found a good topic, and when he was about to continue talking on this topic, suddenly there was a noise next to him.

Some soldiers were shouting and some were chasing.

Mu Ningxue looked for the sound and found that a short woman had rushed out of the short embankment and ran towards the sea regardless of the warning.

"Water, water, water!!!!"

This short woman fell headlong into the ocean, looking like a thirsty person who had been suffering in the desert for a long time!

"Save people, save people quickly!!" Chiba-san was shocked when he saw this, and then hurriedly shouted towards the soldiers near the woman.

Mu Ningxue on the side was a little confused. Although it was very dangerous outside the short embankment, there was no siren in the shallows right now. This woman should not die, right?

Soon, Chiba-san jumped off the short embankment, and then ran with all his strength to where the woman was...

Mu Ningxue also found that many soldiers rushed over together, and she became increasingly confused.

She also jumped down, and then a gust of wind blew up, and she passed Chiba-san in a few steps.

Qianye Sang watched the silver threads flying, and the graceful Mu Ningxue passed by lightly. He was stunned for a moment, and then shouted to Mu Ningxue who had surpassed him: "Don't let her touch the water,

Otherwise she will die!"

When Mu Ningxue saw that he was not joking, she immediately rushed to the short woman.

But as soon as she arrived at the shoal, Mu Ningxue saw a horrifying scene, and then she stayed at the edge of the sea, and the tide gradually reached her ankles...

She has no breath of life!!

A woman who was alive a moment ago has now turned into a corpse. At this time, the woman is lying greedily in the sea water. Her skin has no color at all and is so pale that it turns purple.

Moreover, her body stiffened quite quickly. Normally, it would take about an hour or two for a person to start to stiffen after death, but this woman was already stiff.

After a while, several soldiers rushed over, and one of them turned the woman's body over. The woman's eyes were wide open at this time, and her jaw seemed to be broken. It was opened very wide, and cyan blood vessels were densely covered in the pale to transparent

On his skin, he looked like a drowned person with no eyes open, as if he had been drowned for a long time.

"Alas, another case has occurred." The soldier who just turned over the body sighed.

"Blame me, blame me for not stopping her. I thought she was just wandering around here casually." Another island soldier said with self-blame on his face.

A few people were talking, and Chiba-san also ran over. When he saw this scene, his face was filled with anger in addition to sadness and indignation!

He squatted down in front of the woman, quickly put on the gloves he had brought with him, and then began to untie the woman's clothes with an expressionless expression.

"You...what are you going to do!"

"Asshole, how could you insult her like this, even if she is dead..." A soldier suddenly shouted angrily.

Qianye Sang immediately raised his head. He was completely different from the shy person before. Now there was only an elusive determination in his eyes. He said: "She died very quickly, so I need to investigate."

, I will get rid of this strange epidemic no matter what!!"

After all, the soldier felt that this was a bit inhumane, but the older soldier on the side stopped him.

The older soldier glanced at Chiba-san, who was very serious, and said, "Let him continue. There have been many cases. Maybe we don't know the reason."

When Mu Ningxue saw Qianye Sang starting an autopsy on the spot, she couldn't help but look away.

Even though the woman is dead, the scene still looks a bit unacceptable.

"What is going on?" Mu Ningxue asked the older soldier beside him.

"It's the Drowning Curse. Terrible things have been happening in Donghai City before. Almost every once in a while, there will be people who suddenly rush into the sea and die within a few seconds." At this time, he was young and energetic.

The soldier immediately answered first.

The older soldier on the side glared at him, and then explained again: "It has been classified as a disease for the time being, but in fact no one knows what it is... Fortunately, the frequency of this incident is not too high, and there is this thing

The number of people killed is negligible compared to the number of people killed by the Kraken, so everyone is quite numb to it."

…

"Drowning curse?" Nanrong Ni looked at Mu Ningxue in surprise, and then a look of horror appeared on his face.

According to what Mu Ningxue said before, this drowning curse has appeared in Donghai City for a long time. There are actually not too few examples of drowning curses. However, because this is a naval battle city, many deaths can be caused by demons.

explanation, and these drowning curses often have no symptoms and do not leave any clues to be found, so that even now, there is no authoritative organization that can stand up to explain the drowning curse.

"It sounds very scary." Jiang Shaoxu said at this time.

"The intern just now also told me that they had done a detailed physical examination on a group of people before and confirmed that there was nothing strange about them. However, soon, one of them was cursed... The terrible thing about drowning

There was no warning, no warning at all, as if it happened randomly to the people of Donghai City." Mu Ningxue said.

"Even if there is a terrible epidemic, there should be a reason. Is there really no clue to this curse?" Nanrong Ni asked.

Mu Ningxue immediately shook her head. She had asked people to ask and get a lot of information about the drowning curse in the morning, but the most frightening thing about the drowning curse was that there was no reason or sign.

"It's strange, aren't the people from these island countries afraid? If this happened in our country, people would already be panicked," Jiang Shaoxu said.

"This is Donghai City. Every time the tide rises, many mages die at the hands of the Kraken. In addition, the probability of this kind of drowning curse happening is not very high, so they..."

"They are human beings too. How can they ignore it just because there are few discoveries? If it is some kind of plague, it will be a big trouble. Do you know the previous Hangzhou epidemic? At first, the management people thought it was indifferent, but the incidence rate soon changed.

It's so high that it even attracted the Silver Dome Lord of the mountains to the west!" Jiang Yu said with a serious face at this time.

"The fortress of Hangzhou is strong. Even if a tribe-level demon attacks, it won't have much impact. The epidemic in Hangzhou was quickly suppressed. I heard that a young man found the antidote.

The name seems to be Wang Xiaojun..." Zhou Xu said.

"Do you really think it's that simple??" Jiang Yu immediately retorted and then said in detail: "The Silver Dome Lord is the ancestor of the Sky Eagle, so all the Sky Eagle Legion in Hangzhou Fortress rebelled. Fortunately, the leader at the time was timely.

The massacre order was issued...and then thousands of

The Sky Eagles, who spent a huge amount of money to cultivate, all died at the hands of their own mages. You don't know how cruel this is..." He also knew that this matter was related to Lin Ran and Mo Fan, but the specific situation

But he couldn't investigate clearly, and the information was strictly blocked.

"Is this happening??" Several people's eyes widened. It seemed that it had not been reported in the news at all.

"There are so many things that have not been reported, and do you know? The reason behind this epidemic is actually caused by a congressman manufacturing fake blood agent." Jiang Yu continued.

"I'll go, is it real or fake??"

"Fake blood agent, do you dare to fake this thing? And this thing can be fake???"

Seeing everyone's fuss, Jiang Yu snorted coldly and said: "Epidemics are much scarier than curses. Curses often target individuals, and epidemics are huge and terrifying curses that can affect the survival of a race. I feel that the island government

If we don’t pay more attention to this matter, once we discover that it is an epidemic, it may be too late to deal with it!”

Mu Ningxue also nodded. In the morning, she had watched a woman go from a living state to death. The most terrifying thing was that the woman ran into the sea by herself. The crazy state of a woman before her death always made people feel uneasy.

.

"This matter is not our business, so what's the use of talking to us so much? The island government itself doesn't care, so what are we students worrying about here?" Guan Yu disagreed with this.

"There are always some strange diseases that cannot be explained in this world. Maybe these people have been fighting in Donghai City for too long, accumulated too much pressure, and then took some medicine and threw themselves into the sea." Li Kaifeng

This feels a little ridiculous.

"Let's just focus on tomorrow. I checked and found that the sea water has receded a bit far this time, which means that tomorrow's high tide will be very strong. I hope everyone will send the magic tools they have used before in time.

Go to the store to replenish energy, cool down the magic equipment in time, and prepare some emergency medicines, especially antidotes, because the Kraken is extremely toxic, so don’t take it lightly," Nan Jue said to everyone.

After all, the Drowning Curse is a curse that has existed for a long time. For so many years, the islanders themselves have not been able to find out the cause, so naturally they are even less likely to deal with it, and they still have tasks to deal with now.

"Isn't Lin Ran planning to return to the team yet?" Jiang Yu suddenly asked Mu Ningxue.

"I don't know, I rarely ask him about things." Mu Ningxue said.

…

At the same time, Shichichiyama is located north of Tokyo.

Nanabaishan is a scenic spot in the outskirts of Tokyo. It is said to have beautiful mountains and clear waters, temples and temples, a river belt where you can camp, and a mountain of maple trees that turns bright red like fire in the season.

Lin Ran and the three of them walked down the mountain and could see at a glance that many families had set up tents on both sides of the clear river full of pebbles, which looked very cozy.

People nowadays like this very much. They take their families away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis on weekends, and then get close to nature, breathe fresh air, and eat pure food...

"Why don't you take this thing back by yourself? It's really a waste of our time." Mo Fan couldn't help but said.

Lin Ran sighed and said, "Don't you use mobile phones to communicate? By the way, there is no signal here."

Several of them came here all the way to look for the old friend of Wangyue Mingjian, but this old friend went to find the Buddha three days ago.

"Most of the teachers are isolated from the world. He doesn't use any new-age communication equipment, and he also wants to prevent others from knowing his situation. If we hadn't happened to come to deliver the evil beads this time, it might have taken more than half a year to find out.

He has been buried..." Chisaki Mochizuki maintained respect for the old man.

Mo Fan was still unhappy and started to complain about Mochizuki Chisaki.

Lin Ran raised his cell phone and looked at it. He found that there was a little signal, but it was not stable. Lin Ran accelerated his speed. When he went up the mountain, there was no signal at all, which made him a little irritated.

After walking a few steps, the signal became stable.

"Didi didi~!" As soon as the signal was connected, a series of message prompts came. It was probably news about members of the national team. Lin Ran took a general look at it. He only looked at Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao, and took a look at them.

Regarding the news about Zhao Manyan, this guy even scolded him.

Mo Fan and Mochizuki Chisaki are in the same situation.
