At 5:30 p.m., the museum closed, and Lin Xi went home with Hu Meng.
As early as lunch break, after Lin Xi agreed to visit her father, Hu Meng had already called him and told him to stay home and wait for them that afternoon.
Mr. Hu knew that his daughter had always wanted to "break the deadlock" for him, but he didn't actually have high hopes for it.
However, he did not refuse his daughter's good intentions and smiled and agreed.
When Lin Xi and Hu Meng arrived home, Hu's father felt even more helpless looking at Lin Xi, who was younger than his daughter Hu Meng.
Perhaps this young girl really knows something, but even the master they had consulted with decades of experience couldn't figure it out, so this young girl probably has even less to say.
However, since it was his daughter who asked him to come, and it was a token of her goodwill, he would try his best to cooperate and put her mind at ease.
Thinking this, Mr. Hu quickly asked Lin Xi to sit down, and then went to wash and pour fruit, juice, and snacks.
The way he was being treated was nothing like a master who came to solve his problems; it was more like he was being treated like a friend of his daughter.
Hu Meng hadn't realized anything yet, simply taking her father's actions as a way of being hospitable.
Seeing that her father was still making arrangements, she quickly pulled him down to sit.
"Dad, stop what you're doing and sit down so Master Lin can take a look at you!"
Mr. Hu was both amused and exasperated. Even though he knew in his heart that he probably couldn't solve his problem this time, he could only sit down helplessly when he saw his daughter's anxious expression.
No sooner had she sat down than she heard Lin Xi say to Hu Meng.
"They arrived just in time; any later and it would have been much more difficult to handle."
What's the meaning?
Mr. Hu was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.
Hu Meng, standing next to her, almost jumped up in excitement.
Because what Lin Xi said meant that there was still hope for her father!
Fearing she might have misunderstood, Hu Meng suppressed her excitement and asked Lin Xi for confirmation.
"Master, does that mean my father's problem can be resolved, and he won't die like my uncle and the others because of that matter?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi did not fully admit it, but instead said...
“He shows signs of a curse. I can remove it for him, but that will only be a temporary solution. We need to find the person who put the curse on him.”
Otherwise, even if Lin Xi removes the curse this time, after some time, or next time, that person might still curse Hu Meng's father again.
Lin Xi couldn't be there to help him solve problems all the time.
Therefore, the best and most effective way is to find that person and resolve this matter completely.
Although Lin Xi said that her father's problems were not completely resolved, the discovery of the curse on him was already a qualitative leap for Hu Meng and her father.
Just a curse?
How could her father be cursed?
And who is cursing him?
Thinking of this, Hu Meng's face turned extremely angry.
No matter who that person is, what their motives are, or what their difficulties are, she will never let them get away with hurting her father!
Moreover, it is very likely that her uncles and others also left because of this curse.
Those who cast the curse were absolutely cruel, harming five innocent lives in their family!
Hu Meng gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening with anger.
"Master, how do we find that person, and what kind of cooperation do we need?"
She wouldn't be able to relax until that person was found, constantly worried that he would harm her father again.
While his daughter was talking to Lin Xi, Mr. Hu remained in a state of shock and disbelief.
Because he really didn't expect that the girl he hadn't had much hope for would actually see through his problems!
Does this mean he really doesn't have to die...?
Before Mr. Hu could react, Lin Xi turned to him again, her gaze falling on his face as she carefully examined him.
Judging from his appearance, Mr. Hu's fate is indeed good, just as the master they invited a few years ago said: he will have a successful career and a happy family.
Furthermore, his facial features did not actually indicate that he would die a violent or tragic death; on the contrary, he was destined for a long life.
The only strange thing was the aura emanating from him.
He was surrounded by an extremely faint aura, as if an invisible hand was slowly draining his life away.
The aura was very faint; if Lin Xi hadn't observed so carefully, she might not have been able to detect it.
Moreover, even if others discover it, they may not be able to recognize the aura.
Because at first glance, this smell looks like a combination of exhaust fumes or other pollutants from outside.
In today's society, air pollution and various pollutants flowing through the air inevitably contaminate anyone who walks outside.
Fortunately, these gases will not have any effect on the human body. You just need to go to a place with a relatively good environment to get rid of the smell.
Those who are unfamiliar with this curse will find it difficult to distinguish its aura from other auras, thus missing the best time to resolve the problem.
Lin Xi had encountered this curse before, so she remembered it.
This is a curse with a timeline that is longer than that of a typical curse, starting at least six months, but its success rate is higher than that of common curses.
Because it has a very long timeline, it gradually affects the victims with extremely subtle changes over a long period of time.
Only after the curse has accumulated to a certain extent can it be detected by others.
At this point, it is unlikely that the curse can be eliminated directly. Even if the damage is stopped in time, the damage to the victim's body has already been done and cannot be repaired.
Therefore, only by removing the curse in the early stages can the damage be minimized and the victim be allowed to recover as much as possible.
However, this curse, which seems to have an exceptionally high success rate, also has a drawback.
That means the medium needs to be replenished regularly.
To cast this curse, in addition to the victim's birth date and time, one also needs the victim's personal belongings, such as fur, nails, or blood, as a medium.
For common curses, the medium only needs to be obtained once, but because the curse lasts for a long time, the medium also needs to be replenished regularly.
The timing of replenishing the medium depends on the overall duration of the curse, and it needs to be replenished three times, in the early, middle, and late stages.
Taking Hu Meng's uncles and aunts as examples, it is not difficult to see that the duration of this curse is at least one year.
This means that the medium needs to be extracted from them at least every four months.
This is the most difficult part of the curse, and also the easiest part to expose one's identity.
After all, it is not easy to repeatedly obtain a victim's personal belongings, and it is also easy for the victim to notice.
However, as long as the individuals are close enough or have enough trust from the victim to not have any doubts about the other person's actions, then it is not a problem.
