Give something as a gift?

"This time, for you, Lan Yue has put in a lot of effort and even saved the teacher's face." Li Jiamu helped out, complementing Tang Lan Yue's intentions.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Tang Lanyue interrupted Li Jiamu and took out a storage item that looked like a pendant from her body and handed it to Chen Chu, "Chen Chu, see if the item in here can remove the curse on you."

Chen Chu looked at the props being handed to him in silence, without saying a word, nor did he reach out to take them.

Tang Lanyue continued to explain, "I heard that you came out of the Soul Locking Tower very quickly after entering it, and didn't wait until it collapsed. However, many people who came out later got props from the collapsed Soul Locking Tower. I collected some of them and asked the curse master to look at them. These are all props that can break the death curse."

Li Jiamu also said: "In order to collect these props, Lan Yue and I have used up all our points. We even borrowed a large sum from the team. When the curse is lifted, you have to take us to complete a few tasks to replenish the points, otherwise I will be penniless."

Tang Lanyue rolled her eyes at Li Jiamu in annoyance: "What are you talking about?"

Li Jiamu: "Just kidding."

Chen Chu felt nauseous for no reason as he listened to the two people's pretending to be familiar with each other.

"No need." Chen Chu finally spoke.

The two were stunned, and Tang Lanyue became even more anxious: "Chen Chu, Jiamu was joking with you. You know, he has been like this since he was a child, and he likes to be witty when he speaks."

Li Jiamu also said: "Yes, I was joking, don't take it seriously, the curse only has two years left."

Chen Chu: "Is there a crown among the props?"

Tang Lanyue was puzzled: "Crown?"

Chen Chu nodded: "The crown, the one on the head of the high priest, you have seen it. My death curse can only be broken by the crown on the head of the high priest. Is there a crown among the props you have collected?"

Tang Lanyue's expression froze. She was as happy as she was when she came here, but now she was as desperate as she was. No wonder, no wonder Chen Chu was clearly cursed, but he didn't go into the Soul Locking Tower for a long time. Even if he accidentally went in, he would come out immediately. It's not that he didn't want to break the curse, but he simply couldn't break it.

In the eyes of ordinary psychics, the high priest of the Soul Locking Tower is just an S-level curser, but Tang Lanyue has been learning from her family since she was a child, and knows much more than ordinary psychics. Her father once warned her that the high priest on the seventh floor of the Soul Locking Tower is an existence beyond the S-level. If it weren't for the existence of the Soul Locking Tower suppressing him, no psychic who climbed to the seventh floor could leave alive, and those who could leave were only because the high priest didn't want to kill them.

If only the high priest's crown can remove the curse on Chen Chu, then Chen Chu's curse is unsolvable.

Li Jiamu looked at Chen Chu, then at the heartbroken Tang Lanyue, lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, and said in an encouraging tone: "It's not that there is no chance. Chen Chu is so talented. Maybe in another year, he can defeat the high priest."

Chen Chu glanced at Li Jiamu expressionlessly, his eyes were cold, and Li Jiamu felt guilty for no reason.

Just when Chen Chu was thinking of finding an excuse to get rid of the person, there were two crisp knocks on the door.

“Knock, knock.”

The three of them turned around and saw a gentle-looking young man standing at the door, wiping his glasses with his sleeve.

"Who are these two?" Qingkong looked at Chen Chu with an inquiring look as he walked inside.

"From the headquarters." Just three simple words, without any unnecessary explanation.

Qingkong raised his eyebrows and immediately understood: "So you two are from the headquarters. It's so early, have you had breakfast?"

Tang Lanyue was in a bad mood and did not respond, while Li Jiamu shook his head.

Qingkong suggested, "Why don't you two go out for breakfast first? Although Jinshi is not as prosperous as the Imperial Capital, its snacks are also unique. There is a snack street 500 meters east of the hospital. The food is very delicious."

"Thank you." Li Jiamu felt inexplicably guilty after being looked at by Chen Chu. He had long since stopped wanting to stay in the ward. He used this to persuade Tang Lanyue to leave, "Lanyue, let's go eat first."

Tang Lanyue's eyes were already red at this time, and she looked at Chen Chu with sad eyes.

Chen Chu was extremely annoyed by being stared at, but he held back and said, "Let's go eat first."

Tang Lanyue then followed Li Jiamu and left. As soon as they left, Qingkong put on his glasses, which he had wiped several times.

Chen Chu looked at him putting on the glasses and raised his eyebrows. Others didn't know what Qingkong's glasses were for, but how could the people in Group 6 not know?

"Don't look at me like that. It was Neptune who said that someone from the headquarters came here early in the morning and seemed to be plotting something, so he asked me to come and find out." Qingkong immediately said that this was Neptune's fault and had nothing to do with him. He was not a gossipy person.

Chen Chu frowned and turned to look at Aquaman, only to find that Aquaman was holding a mobile phone in one hand, typing with a strong will. After a while, the phone in Chen Chu's hand vibrated.

Chen Chu looked at his phone thoughtfully, and found, as expected, that what had just happened had been broadcast to the group by Aquaman.

He suddenly had the urge to beat someone up. He was so deaf that he couldn't stop this guy from gossiping. He should have let the necromancer kill him last night.

Aquaman: [@Everyone, someone has come from the headquarters, a man and a woman, and they are chatting with Chen Chu.]

Assistant Tan: [Someone from headquarters is here? Didn’t they say the flight was at 11 o’clock? What did they talk about?]

Aquaman: [Brother, I am deaf now.]

Qingkong: [You don’t know lip reading?]

Aquaman: [Why do you think I can do something as advanced as lip reading?]

Qingkong: [Since you can't hear me, why are you gossiping so much?]

The subtext of this sentence is, you look so excited, I thought you could lip read.

Aquaman was already used to being scolded, and didn't care at all: [I asked you to come because I can't hear you, come quickly, this is the first time I see Chen Chu with such a bad face, these two are definitely not good people.]

Qingkong: [I'm almost there.]

Aquaman: [Then take off your glasses when you come in and see what these two are up to.]

Assistant Tan: [Has Qingkong entered? How is he now?]

Aquaman: [I came in and sent them away. @Qingkong, tell me quickly, what are those two trying to do?]

Lin: [Qingkong is already in the ward, why are you @ing him?]

Lin was woken up by the beeping of her cell phone. She had gone to bed late last night and had not gotten up this morning. She was still curled up in bed, scrolling through the group chat while ordering breakfast for herself.

Aquaman: [I am doing this for you guys, don’t you want to hear gossip?]

As soon as Aquaman finished sending the message, he felt a murderous gaze coming from the front. His strong desire to survive made him withdraw the message immediately and retype: [This concerns our group six. I think everyone should know.]

After typing, Aquaman looked up at the sky expectantly and said silently: Brother, it's your turn to perform next.

Qingkong was speechless, but he still lowered his head and explained in the group: [There is no conspiracy, these two people are here to look for Chen Chu, it’s a private matter.]

The word "private matter" made the matter clear. This was Chen Chu's privacy. If Chen Chu didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't take the initiative to mention it in the group. He wasn't a sea king, so he didn't have a hobby of courting death.

The Sea King was immediately disappointed and wanted to point at Qingkong's nose and say: I asked you to come here for nothing.

Assistant Tan: [So, I still have to go to the airport to pick you up.]

Personal matters? Lin Yu muttered a few words but didn't think much about it. She got up and washed herself.

"Thank you." Chen Chu met Qingkong's gaze and thanked him.

Qingkong took the breakfast that Chen Chu bought, unwrapped the plastic bag, and placed them on the small mobile table next to the bed, so that Hai Wang could eat easily. He was afraid that if he let Chen Chu place the breakfast at this time, Chen Chu would not be able to resist and beat him up.

"I should be the one apologizing. Sorry for accidentally prying into your privacy." Qingkong apologized.

"You are snooping into their privacy." Chen Chu's ability is two levels higher than Qingkong's. With Qingkong's strength, he cannot pry into his inner thoughts unless he is completely defenseless.

Qingkong smiled. Although he didn't see Chen Chu's inner thoughts just now, prying into the thoughts of the two people was equivalent to indirectly knowing Chen Chu's privacy. However, he was a smart man and knew what Chen Chu meant by saying this, so he didn't mention it again.

Qingkong: "I did find out something just now. As a friend, I think I should tell you."

Chen Chu looked at him.

Qingkong: "The one called Li Jiamu, when he heard that you were going to die soon, he felt very complicated, happy and guilty, but happy more. The one called Tang Lanyue was very sad, thinking that she had clearly transferred the death curse to Li Jiamu, but how come Li Jiamu was fine in the end, but you were the one who was injured. Her emotions were even more complicated, sad and guilty, thinking that this was the retribution for her transferring the death curse to Li Jiamu, but this retribution fell on you. I think her logic ability is somewhat problematic."

What kind of touching logic would make her feel that others' misfortunes are her karma?

Chen Chu listened silently, with no expression on his face the entire time, not even a frown on his face.

Qingkong was the best at observing people's expressions and understood immediately: "You know everything?"

Chen Chu nodded: "Five years ago, the three of us were swallowed into the Soul Locking Tower together. At that time, Tang Lanyue had the Eye of Curse on her body. The three of us relied on the Eye of Curse to successfully reach the exit of the third floor. Because it was so smooth, we felt that the Soul Locking Tower was not scary. The two of them wanted to go to the sixth floor to get a high-level item. They outnumbered me two to one, and I was convinced. In the end, when we went to the sixth floor, the curser on the sixth floor did not curse Tang Lanyue, but hypnotized her and made her go to the seventh floor on her own initiative."

Qingkong pushed his glasses and, based on his previous reconnaissance, he had already guessed what would happen next.

Chen Chu continued, "Li Jiamu liked Tang Lanyue, so he rushed to the seventh floor without hesitation. I promised Tang Tianyuan that I would protect Tang Lanyue, so I went there too. The high priest seemed bored at that time, or maybe he thought our act of saving people was interesting, so he played a game with us. He said that as long as we accepted the curse, we could all leave safely in the end."

Chen Chu has seldom thought about this incident in recent years. He thought he had forgotten it, but he didn't expect that when he recalled it, the memory was so clear: "The first person to be cursed was Tang Lanyue. The high priest cast a death curse. Tang Lanyue was only B-level at the time. Once the curse was established, the death curse would take effect immediately. But the high priest also gave Tang Lanyue a chance to transfer the curse and told her that transferring the curse would not be considered a foul."

Qingkong: "She gave it to Li Jiamu, and then Li Jiamu gave it to you."

Chen Chu: “That’s right.”

Qingkong: "Then why don't you turn back?"

Chen Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Because the high priest didn't give me the ability to transfer the curse, he gave me something similar to the Eye of Curse, which allowed me to see the entire process of the curse being transferred. He calculated that the curse would eventually reach me."

Chen Chu only figured it out later. The high priest was familiar with human nature and could sense other people's thoughts. He must have calculated the movements of Li Jiamu and Tang Lanyue, so he made such arrangements.

Qingkong was silent for a moment: "But in fact, according to the rules of the game, as long as the three of you accept the curse and do not transfer it, the curse will disappear naturally in the end."

This is the hint given by the high priest at the very beginning of the game.

Chen Chu: “Who knows?”

After coming out of the Soul Locking Tower, perhaps because the three of them were all alive, Tang Lanyue and Li Jiamu felt that there was nothing wrong in transferring the death curse to their "good friend". They even felt lucky and pretended that nothing had happened and continued to get along with each other without any grudges.

Qingkong suddenly smiled: "Now you understand me, right? Once you see the darkness in people's hearts, it will be difficult to get along with them."

Chen Chu: "So you never take the initiative to upgrade your abilities."

Qingkong answered irrelevantly: "Are you annoyed by those two people coming to you? I will teach you a trick that will ensure they never dare to appear in front of you again."

Chen Chu raised his eyebrows.

"Tell them that you know everything that happened in the Soul Locking Tower." Qingkong pointed to the glasses on his nose and said, "Before I had these glasses, no one dared to show them in front of me."

Chen Chu was stunned. He only briefly possessed a little ability to see into people's hearts, but he was so disgusted. And Qingkong was like this all the time.

"That's enough, you two!" Aquaman couldn't bear it any longer, "You're bullying me because I can't hear you, right? You're gossiping in front of me."

Chen Chu and Qingkong turned around at the same time, looked at the furious Aquaman, and nodded in unusual understanding.

"!!"Neptune.

The wood-type esper arrived in Jin City on a flight at 11:00, and Assistant Tan went to meet them at the airport in person. He originally wanted to take the esper from the headquarters to have lunch or something, and then go to the hospital in the afternoon. However, the S-class esper who led the team this time was a fierce and powerful one, and he completely ignored Assistant Tan's arrangement and went straight to the hospital.

Assistant Tan thought that going early would allow for earlier treatment, so he did not stop them. He just notified them in the group chat: [The person has been picked up and is on the way to the hospital. He will arrive around 12 o'clock. How is the King of Dirt? Is he awake?]

Dirt King: [Awake.]

When Assistant Tan saw that the King of Dirty could play with his cell phone, he knew that everything was fine.

Aquaman, who was unable to type first due to paralysis: [Who is this wood-type esper? Is he powerful? What level is his esper?]

Lin Yan: [B-level peak.]

Qingkong: [Do you know him?]

Lin: [Yes.]

Qingkong: [I roughly know who it is.]

Aquaman: [Who is it? Lin has only been a superpower for a few months, how could she know the wood superpower at the headquarters?]

The Dirty King, who had already guessed who it was but didn't want to talk, couldn't help but call him an idiot. But the Sea King was deaf at the time and didn't hear him, and he continued to ask questions in the group.

Lin: [I will come over in a bit. I will buy you whatever you want to eat.]

Aquaman: [I want to eat steak, crayfish, grilled chicken wings...]

Chen Chu: [Just buy whatever you want.]

Lin: [Okay.]

Aquaman: [Hey!]

Half an hour later, Lin came over carrying a bunch of delicious food. From a distance, she saw Assistant Tan leading a group of people towards the hospital building.

The people from the headquarters have arrived, Xiao Yunzhou is here

Yes, the wood-type supernatural being sent by the headquarters this time was Yun Zhou. Before the flight this morning, Yun Zhou sent a WeChat message to Lin Yan, saying that he would come as a healer this time and asked Lin Yan to treat him well.

Lin looked at the hot and sour noodles in her hand and took two quick steps, wanting to let Xiao Yunzhou eat something before the treatment.

"Team Leader Tang, please come this way." Assistant Tan was very respectful to Tang Tianyuan who came to hand over the geographical map. This man was the leader of the White Tiger Group in the Imperial Capital, an S-class psychic who had been famous for many years, and also Chen Chu's teacher.

Tang Tianyuan is fifty-five years old this year, but because of his supernatural powers, he looks only in his early forties. He has a square face, broad brows, and a serious demeanor. His every move reveals the majesty of a person in a high position.

Suddenly, Tang Tianyun, who was walking in front, stopped.

Assistant Tan was stunned, looked up, and found Chen Chu standing at the door of the ward.

Assistant Tan glanced at the two of them and sensitively noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Chen Chu took the initiative to walk over and nodded slightly to Tang Tianyun: "Team Leader Tang."

Tang Tianyun snorted heavily: "Why, you left the White Tiger Group and don't even recognize your teacher anymore."

Chen Chu did not say anything, nor did he change his words, he just looked at Tang Tianyuan calmly. Anyone who was not blind would know that there was something wrong between the two of them.

Assistant Tan suddenly began to regret that if he had known earlier, he would not have given the things to Chen Chu and let Chen Chu take over.

After a moment, Tang Tianyuan took the initiative to break the silence: "Where are the things?"

Chen Chu nodded: "Yes."

Tang Tianyuan: "Let's go to the rooftop."

There were no empty rooms for them in the hospital, and they were too lazy to move to other places, so they just went to the rooftop. Anyway, with their sixth sense, no one could approach them quietly.
