Chapter 549 Curse-Attached Ability

Many ancient countries in this world have the custom of burying people alive with their ancestors.

As a super ancient country, Kakin is one of the best.

In ancient times, it had a special custom of burying people alive with their ancestors called "partners after death".

The so-called companions after death, on the surface, mean to accompany the deceased prince in the underworld.

In fact, it is to prevent those princes who did not become kings from becoming vengeful spirits after death, thus posing a threat to the new king and the country.

This is a means of clamping down until death.

From this, it can be seen that the super ancient country attaches great importance to "maintaining national sovereignty", and many almost pathological practices have been born from it.

Under the long-term influence of this "ancient country culture", whether above or below the royal power, there is the behavior of cultivating "death warriors".

And when "death warriors" and "mind" are combined, the curse-type mind ability comes into being.

The second prince of Kakin has a team of death warriors born only to play the role of curse.

After they awaken their thoughts, once they have chosen a curse target, they will carry the target's name, photo, clothing, and even parts of their body tissues such as hair and dandruff.

Then all they have to do is hold a knife tightly, and then look at the curse target in the photo every day, and gradually gather a strong will to curse the target to death in their hearts.

After waiting for the right time, they will burn everything related to the curse target into ashes before activating the ability, and then boil the ashes and drink them up.

Since this type of curse ability usually takes "death" as the premise for activation, the most ideal way to activate it is for the caster to commit suicide directly in front of the curse target.

In this way, the caster's posthumous curse will be attached to the body of the curse target on the spot, thereby taking away the other party's energy...

When the curse target is forced to enter "absoluteness", the powerful curse that the caster has condensed day and night during his lifetime will frantically erode the body and mind of the curse target at this moment, causing it to die within a few hours.

This cursed Nen ability, named "Yellow Spring Guide", belongs to the "curse" type in the curse branch.

From the perspective of ability effect, the directionality of cursed Nen ability is extremely strong.

However, from the perspective of the process of activating the ability, in order to accurately exert the powerful "curse" effect, various extremely harsh conditions are required.

Although the existence of "death soldiers" can greatly reduce the conditions for activating abilities, the "timeliness" of activating abilities is an unavoidable problem for cursed abilities.

This is also the shortcoming of most cursed abilities.

After all -

oaths and constraints always run through the entire Nen system.

There is gain only when there is something to pay.

But it is limited to a relatively reasonable range.

You pay one dollar, and you may get a benefit worth one dollar and a half or two dollars.

You can even use the price of "death" to get a benefit of four dollars, but you will never get a benefit of five dollars or more.

This is the oath and constraint.

Therefore, the curse type, which can cross "combat" and "defense" to form a lethal ability, requires so many harsh conditions.

At the same time,

That's all he can do.

The death warrior cultivated by Gray Pot Meat, who has been with the darkness for many years and self-mutilated day after day, is also a "curse-type" Nen ability user.

His curse-type ability called "Bridge of Pain" cannot get rid of the problem of "timeliness".

But he took a different approach and chose to use the torture and pain from himself to neutralize the constraint of "timeliness".

So he doesn't need to select the target in advance, and naturally he doesn't need to concentrate the power of the curse will on the curse target day and night.

What he did was just to change "select the target in advance" to "inflict pain in advance".

No sunlight all day, crazy self-mutilation all day.

Thus silently swallowing all the pain...

In this way, the curse power called pain is constantly accumulated.

In this way, the curse power accumulated for a long time can be poured out when the target is temporarily selected.

Now——

According to Gray Pot Meat's instructions, this death warrior selected Isaac Netero as the target of the curse.

The crazy power of the curse instantly vented in the dark room with flickering candlelight, and then condensed into the shadow of the dead soldier under the calm gaze of Huiguorou.

That shadow——

expanded and twisted.

It seemed to want to break free from the control of the dead soldier and become an independent existence.

However, no matter how the shadow expanded itself or how frantically it struggled, it could never leave the body of the dead soldier.

Because the shadow and the body are inseparable is the law.

Without the existence of the body, there will be no shadow.

"May Kajin prosper!"

For some reason, the dead soldier with a bloody mouth could regain the ability to speak at this moment.

Then he made a sharp sound like a cicada, using words full of extreme pain to read out his supreme loyalty and glory.

Then——

His face, which was covered with new and old wounds and almost invisible, slowly showed a crazy and twisted expression.

Puff!

He suddenly inserted one hand into his chest, and then without hesitation, he exerted force and took out his heart.

This self-mutilation behavior at the cost of life was seen by Hui Guorou.

However, the king who reformed the Kajin Kingdom by himself still had a calm face.

As if this extreme behavior in front of him was a rare and common phenomenon.

Under the calm gaze of Huiguorou, the dead soldier who was launching the "curse" used up his last strength to stuff the bloody heart into his mouth.

The terrifying and pure will was revealed at this moment.

After a while.

The dead soldier embraced death.

And the shadow that expanded behind him got freedom as he wished.

The shadow broke free from the dead soldier's body and left along the ventilation gap in the dark room like a dark quagmire.

Huiguorou's eyes moved away from the horrible corpse of the dead soldier and watched the "dirty shadow" leave.

"Go, clear the obstacles for the Kajin Kingdom."

Looking at the direction where the "dirty shadow" left, Huiguorou whispered to himself in the dark room.

The bridge of pain is a curse type in the curse ability. Given the harsh conditions for activation, there is no doubt about the effect of the curse.

However, it is absolutely unrealistic to rely on it to achieve the ability of "extreme one-for-one" with top powerhouses like Netero.

But——

Now Netero is in a very weak state both mentally and physically.

In this case, the "pain bridge" of the dead soldiers has the possibility of being successfully activated, and the bridge connecting the powerful curse power is built on Netero's weak body!

If everything goes well...

Maybe it won't take even an hour to curse Netero in that state directly.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the mishap of the exorcist.

After all, the curse can be completed quickly, and the exorcist will not be given the opportunity and time to transfer the power of the post-death curse.

Moreover——

The exorcist who can remove the post-death thought is very rare.

Huiguorou can almost see the horrible death of Netero after enduring extreme pain.

"It's almost there, it's almost there..."

The candlelight in the dark room quietly extinguished, and only a faint voice gradually faded away on the stairs.

As the candle burns out and disappears from the world, this dark room dedicated to "cultivating" the power of curse will be sealed forever in the darkness and cannot be used again.

This is also one of the conditions for activating the curse power.

And such dark rooms are as numerous as roots, deeply rooted in the ground of Kakin.

In recent years, the world's understanding of Kakin is undoubtedly the Zhenlinguan incident that occurred thirty years ago, which is known as the "quietest revolution in history."

Kakin has ushered in earth-shaking changes because of this revolution.

But——

Is it really the quietest?

It's just that people outside can't see the many roots rooted in the ground of Kakin.

How can such extreme darkness be exposed to the sun?

——————

Computer world transfer station.

"Lost again..."

Ikushubei looked at the robot that fell to the ground and disintegrated on the TV screen and muttered to himself.

This is the 339th game he lost to Moyu.

In this process, no matter how he changed his strategy and operation style, he could not win.

The skills and advantages of the slimy green monster always shined extremely brightly in Moyu's hands.

Even if it was just a skill with ultra-low damage, it could actually work wonders under Moyu's reasonable arrangement.

"Master of tactics!"

Such a term popped up in Ikushubei's head.

"Come again!"

But soon, he regained his interest in the challenge and started the next game.

People often say that drinking can best enhance the relationship between men.

But for Ikushubei, playing games is the best way to enhance feelings, no one else.

Therefore, after playing games with Moyu for a while, there is no need to write on the drawing board to communicate.

Jin watched Moyu and Ikushubei playing games from behind. After watching for a long time, it is inevitable that he will feel itchy.

But Ikushubei had no intention of giving up his position, so Jin's idea of ​​playing a few games with Moyu was helpless.

"Hidden."

Jin turned his eyes and looked at Moyu's back.

Whether it is the level of Nen ability or the level of game skills, it takes a lot of time to accumulate.

Some monsters can accumulate experience and improve their levels faster with their talents.

For example, Moyu in front of him...

When Jin thought of Moyu's age, he could only sigh that he was inferior.

"Let them play..."

Jin couldn't go down to play a few games with Moyu, and didn't want to stand behind and watch the game, so he quietly left the transfer station.

His departure did not affect Ikushubei's fighting spirit.

And Moyu didn't want to discourage Ikushubei's interest, so he could only patiently accompany Ikushubei to play.

Anyway, for him, this kind of play is nothing more than replacing Pyorn with Ikushubei, and he has long been used to it...

Time passed.

I don't know how much time has passed.

When Ikushubei's defeat came to the 999th game, he didn't directly start the next game.

"Even 'endurance' is so strong..."

Ikushubei tilted his head to look at Moyu beside him, and for a moment he doubted his identity.

This world is his territory, and strictly speaking, he is now a data body that does not know what fatigue is.

So he actually has the plan to use "protracted war" to wear down Moyu's concentration.

But after playing 999 games in a row, Moyu's operating accuracy was not affected at all, and the endurance and concentration he showed seemed to be more like a data body than him...

"I can't win at all!"

Ikushubei put down the game controller in a somewhat decadent manner.

Moyu also put down the game controller when he saw this, and smiled: "Don't you want to play anymore?"

"Play!"

Ikushubei straightened up suddenly and suggested: "But don't play Dark Curtain anymore, play other games."

"..."

Moyu was silent for a while, and he wanted to slap himself in the face.

I shouldn't have asked the question of whether to play or not just now.

He sighed in his heart.

Fortunately, he has long been accustomed to this kind of high-intensity game time, and he also has the powerful recovery power of "Absolute Resurrection", so it doesn't matter even if he plays for seven days and seven nights.

"Forget it, I'll accompany you to the end."

Moyu thought in his heart.

In order to help Kurapika get important information, he can't miss this opportunity.

"I can do anything."

Moyu nodded gently at Ikushubei.

Ikushubei grinned upon hearing this, revealing his sharp teeth.

In this way, Ikushubei played the game for two days and two nights before finally stopping with satisfaction.

It wasn't that he was bored or tired, but he resisted the urge to continue playing when he thought of taking Moyu to the computer world.

A moment later.

Jin, who received the message, came to the transfer station from the real world.

Perhaps he knew something about Ikushubei's addiction to games, so it was not surprising that Ikushubei could play with Moyu for two days and two nights.

"Welcome to the computer world."

Before setting off, Ikushubei opened his mouth to formally welcome Moyu's arrival after two days.

Then, Ikushubei turned out a black road sign and added a passage on the ground in front of him that could lead directly to the computer world.

It was a green circular pipe planted on the ground, about half a meter high.

Moyu looked at the green pipe that Ikushubei turned out, and his eyes showed surprise.

Isn't this thing...

The mobile mechanism in the Super Mario game?

Jin looked at Moyu's reaction, understood, and smiled: "Just as you thought, this is the pipe in the Super Mario game."

There are many Earth games in Hunter World, including the famous Super Mario.

The names are different, but the background and gameplay are basically the same.

Ikushubei saw that Moyu knew about the green pipe, so he saved the trouble of explaining.

"Please follow me."

Ikushubei jumped onto the green pipe.

And then, under Moyu's increasingly surprised gaze, Ikushubei sank smoothly into the pipe.

It's too similar...

No, it's basically the same as the picture in the game.

So as long as he is in the computer world, Ikushubei can create all kinds of existence at will?

In a sense, this is an ability that allows imagination to arbitrarily derive into "existence".

If this can be done in the real world...

Moyu was shocked by the thought that came to him at this moment.

Although he currently has the idea of ​​continuing to develop new mind abilities.

But this kind of thing is too unrealistic...
