Versatile Mage Undead Fire

Chapter 160 Drowning Curse
Mu Ningxue has never felt how beautiful she is naturally, and she is more used to attribute this phenomenon of being boringly approached to her own hair color and snow-white skin.

In fact, she is different because she is sick, but there are many men who like her, and she can only think that most men are sick.

"Are you a mage?" asked the shy young man in his 20s.

The man has black hair and wears a simple shirt. He has a very handsome 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 of Waseda University." Chiba-san sat in Mu Ning Xue was on the side, keeping a very suitable distance, he didn't dare to get too close, so as not to arouse Mu Ningxue's disgust.

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

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

He looked a little unnatural, stared at Long Beach, and said: "This time the waves receded far, and the next high tide should be very dangerous. I don't know if the district owners of each block can handle it. I hope not." Zhan Miyao will appear..."

"Is there any relationship between waves and monsters?" Mu Ningxue asked, she is not from the coast, so she doesn't know much about sea monsters.

Chiba-san's eyes lit up. It was obvious that he had found the right topic. He forced himself to calm down quickly. He simply sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and then explained solemnly: "Most sea monsters are used to Fighting where there is water, especially some Kraken legions that are more threatening to Donghai City, so wars are often related to the ebb and flow of the tide. Once the sea water has submerged the short embankment we are sitting on now, the Krakens will follow the trend Come, if the sea water leaves East Sea City, then most of the sea monster army will also retreat, which means that the higher the tide, the more sea monsters will attack!"

When Lai Hengbao was explaining the situation here to Ai Jiangtu, Mu Ningxue had already gone to rest in the room, so she didn't know much about this East Sea City.

"If it retreats deeply, does it mean that it will rise higher next time?" Mu Ningxue's eyes also fell on the tide line that was getting farther and farther away from the dike.

"Well, many people think that the sea is mysterious and unpredictable, but in fact the sea has its own nature and laws. As long as we carefully observe the hints 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 they are, they cannot disobey the rules of the sea, so as long as you understand the sea, you will understand these sea monsters." Speaking of these things, Chiba-san's tone became obviously fluent , obviously he still has a lot of research on these things, and he is also 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, there was a sudden noise from the side.

Some soldiers were shouting, others were chasing.

Mu Ningxue looked around, and found that a short woman had rushed out of the embankment and ran towards the sea despite the warning.

"Water, water, water!!!"

The short woman plunged headlong into the ocean, looking like a thirsty man who's been languishing in the desert for so long!
"Save people, save people quickly!!" Qianye Sang was shocked when she saw this scene, and then hurriedly shouted at the soldiers near the woman.

Mu Ningxue on the side is a little confused. Although it is dangerous outside the dike, there is no sea monster in the shallows. This woman should not die, right?
Soon, Qianye-san jumped off the embankment, and then ran to the place where the woman was with all her might...

Mu Ningxue also found that many soldiers rushed over together, and her heart became more and more puzzled.

She also jumped down, and then a gust of wind blew up, passing Chiba-san within a few steps.

Qianye Sang watched the silver thread flying, and the graceful Mu Ningxue skipped over lightly. She was stunned for a moment, and then shouted at Mu Ningxue who had already surpassed him: "Don't let her touch the water, Otherwise she will die!"

Seeing that he was not joking, Mu Ningxue immediately flew to the short woman.

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

She has no life breath! !
A woman who was still alive a moment ago has now turned into a corpse. At this time, the woman is greedily lying in the sea water. Her skin has no blood, 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 become stiff 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 eyeballs were wide open at this moment, and her jaw seemed to be broken. On his skin, he looked like a drowned person who did not rest in peace, as if he had been drowned for a long time.

"Oh, there is another case." The soldier who turned over the corpse just now sighed.

"Blame me, blame me for not stopping her, I thought she was just wandering around here." Another island soldier blamed himself.

Several people were talking, and Qianye Sang also ran over. When he saw this scene, besides grief and indignation, there was also anger on his face!

He squatted down in front of this woman, then quickly put on the gloves he carried with him, and immediately began to undo the woman's clothes with a blank expression.

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

"Bastard, how can you insult her like this, even if she is dead..." a soldier suddenly shouted angrily.

Chiba-san immediately raised his head, and now he is completely different from the shy look before, now there is only an elusive firmness in his eyes, and he said: "She died very quickly, so I need to investigate , no matter what, I want to unravel this strange plague!!"

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 now, and there may be reasons that we don't know."

Mu Ningxue couldn't help turning her face away when she saw Qianye Sang start the on-site autopsy.

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

"What's the situation?" Mu Ningxue asked the older soldiers beside her.

"It's the curse of drowning. The terrible things that have happened 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 re-explained: "It is temporarily classified as an epidemic, but in fact no one knows what it is... Fortunately, the frequency of this incident is not too high, and this thing It is negligible compared to the number of kills of sea monsters, so everyone is quite numb to this."

……

"Drowning Curse?" Nanrong Ni looked at Mu Ningxue in surprise, and then showed a bit of panic on his face.

According to what Mu Ningxue said before, the drowning curse has appeared in Donghai City for a long time, and there are actually not too few cases of the drowning curse, but because this is the sea battle city, many deaths can be caused by monsters. Explain, and these drowning curses often do not have any signs, and will not leave any traces to find, so that until now, no authoritative organization can stand up and explain the drowning curse.

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

"The intern just now told me that they had done a detailed physical examination on a group of people before, and they made sure that there was nothing unusual about them, but soon, one of them suffered from the Drowning Curse... the horror of Drowning Seeds It’s just that there is no sign, no sign at all, as if it happened randomly to the people of Donghai City.” Mu Ningxue said.

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

Mu Ningxue shook her head immediately. She had asked someone in the morning for a lot of information about the Drowning Curse, but the most frightening thing about the Drowning Curse is that there is no reason or sign.

"It's strange, aren't these islanders afraid? If this happened in our country, I'm afraid people would already be in panic." Jiang Shaoxu said.

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

"They are human beings too. How can they ignore them because they found so little? If it was a plague, it would be a big trouble. Do you know the Hangzhou epidemic before? At first, the people in charge thought it didn't matter, but the incidence rate quickly changed. Gao, even attracted the Silver Skylord from the mountains to the west!" Jiang Yu said seriously at this time.

"Hangzhou is firmly established in Cybercity. Even if there are tribal monsters attacking, it will not have much impact. Isn't the matter of Hangzhou's epidemic soon suppressed? I heard that it seems that a young man found the antidote. The name seems to be Wang Xiaoyun..." Zhou Xu said.

"You really thought it would be so simple?" Jiang Yu immediately retorted and then said in detail: "The Silver Skylord is the ancestor of the Skyhawk, so all the Skyhawk Legion in the Hangzhou Fortress rebelled. Fortunately, the leader at that time was in time. A massacre order was issued... Afterwards, tens of thousands of Skyhawks, which were cultivated with huge financial resources, all died at the hands of their own mages, you don't know how cruel this is..." He also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Although there is Mo Fan involved, but he can't investigate the specific situation clearly, and the news is tightly blocked.

"Is there such a thing??" Several people stared wide-eyed, as if it hadn't been reported on the news at all.

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

"I'll go, is it true or not??"

"Fake blood, do you dare to fake this thing, and can this stuff be faked???"

Seeing everyone's fussing expressions, Jiang Yu snorted coldly and said: "The epidemic is much more terrifying than the curse. Curses are often aimed at individuals, but the epidemic is a huge and terrifying curse that can affect the survival of a race. I feel that the island government If you don’t take this matter seriously, once you find out that it’s an epidemic, it may be too late to deal with it!”

Mu Ningxue also nodded. In the morning, she watched a woman go from being alive to dying with her own eyes. The most terrifying thing was that the woman ran into the sea by herself. The crazy state of a woman before she died always makes people feel uneasy. .

"This matter is out of our control. What's the use of talking to us so much? The island government doesn't care about it. What are we students worrying about here?" Guan Yu didn't take it seriously.

"There are always some strange diseases in this world that cannot be explained clearly. It may be that these people have been fighting in Donghai City for too long, and the pressure has accumulated too much. Then they threw themselves into the sea after taking some medicine." Li Kaifeng It feels a little absurd.

"Let's focus on tomorrow. I checked and found that the sea water has receded a little far this time, which means that tomorrow's high tide will be very rough. I hope everyone will send the magic tools you have used before Go to the store to replenish energy, let the magic equipment cool down in time, and prepare some emergency medicines, especially the antidote must be complete, because the siren is extremely poisonous, 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. After all these years, the islanders themselves have not been able to find out the reason, so it is even more impossible for them to deal with it, and they still have a task to do now.

"Is Lin Ran not planning to return to the team yet?" Jiang Yu suddenly asked Mu Ningxue.

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

……

At the same time, Qiyi Mountain in the north of Tokyo.

Qiyi Mountain is a suburban scenic spot in Tokyo. It is said that there are beautiful temples and spirits, as well as a river belt where you can camp.

The three of Lin Ran walked down the mountain, and at a glance, they could see many families setting up tents on both sides of the clear river full of pebbles, which looked very warm.

Nowadays, people 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, really, it's 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 ran here from thousands of miles to look for an old friend of Wangyue Mingjian, but this old friend went to look for Buddha three days ago.

"Most of the teachers are isolated from the outside world. He doesn't use any communication equipment of the new era, and he also doesn't want others to know about his situation. If we didn't happen to be here to send the evil beads this time, it might take half a year to find out. He has already been buried..." Mochizuki Chisun maintained respect for this old man.

Mo Fan was still very upset, he started to complain about Chikamochizuki.

Lin Ran held up the phone and looked at it, and found that there was a little signal, but it was not stable. Lin Ran speeded up, and when he went up the mountain, there was no signal at all, which made him a little annoyed.

After walking a few steps, the signal stabilized.

"Dididi~!" As soon as the signal was connected, a series of message notifications came, probably from the members of the National Team. Lin Ran took a rough look. He only looked at Mu Ningxue and Mù Nujiao, and took a look by the way. Zhao Manyan's news, this guy even scolded him.

Mo Fan and Mochizuki Chikaru are also in the same situation.
