"If it's two yuan, it's two yuan. You have to be honest in business."

"You want to know how to do it, right?"

"You have been afflicted by a curse called the Death Curse, which, to be precise, is a kind of evil magic within the Taoist tradition."

"Throughout history, such harmful curses have been a taboo for all schools of thought."

“Especially this kind of death curse, which is extremely difficult to deal with.”

"The death curse on you must have been placed on you by someone who obtained your birth date."

"To break the curse, you'll probably need to draw the talisman yourself; otherwise..."

At that moment, tears welled up in my eyes, and my voice was choked with sobs:

"Otherwise what will happen?"

"Please, tell me."

The middle-aged man sighed and shook his head:

"Otherwise, after forty-nine days, your parents will be stripped of their souls and commit suicide by jumping off a building, just like in the dream."

Upon hearing the uncle's words, I collapsed to the ground.

It felt as if the backbone that had supported me throughout my life had been completely shattered at that moment.

I'm just an ordinary college student, so how can I learn the method to break the curse?

Moreover, almost half a month has passed since I first had a nightmare.

That means there's only a little over a month left.

How could you possibly learn something you could never experience in your entire life in just one month?

At that moment, my heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave.

The biting cold gradually made me lose consciousness.

Slowly, my world began to turn completely dark.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, wake up!"

"What exactly did you do to her? If anything happens to her, I will never forgive you!"

“Xiao Xi…”

I slowly opened my eyes, and my consciousness gradually returned.

The next instant, an overwhelming pain surged through my mind.

I clutched my head in agony, and it took a while for the hysterical pain to gradually subside.

"Xiao Xi, are you alright? How are you? Don't scare me!"

I gripped Xixi's arm nervously, using a lot of force.

But Xixi never let go of my hand.

"It's okay, Xiaoxi, it's okay~ Sweetie~ I'm here with you~~"

Seeing Xixi's constant comforting words, my mood gradually calmed down.

Suddenly I remembered the middle-aged man and quickly looked around for him.

The man didn't leave; instead, he waited there quietly.

The uncle came over when he saw that I was awake.

When Xixi saw the uncle approach, she quickly shielded me behind her, her eyes filled with anger.

"What exactly do you want?!"
