"It must have been that old geezer who did it!"
Meng Zhengyang's eyes held a hint of murderous intent.
“Apart from Saint-level players, no one else can cast curses from a distance, and that old ghost Sha Yuelin is good at things like curses with vengeful spirits!”
"How dare he, a mere Junior Master of Fate, attack a mid-level player like me?"
Chen Chu's words were filled with disbelief.
Meng Zhengyang snorted coldly, "For someone like him, casting a curse on you is just a casual thing to do."
“You killed his grandson, so he’s bound to do something.”
Chen Chu was a little confused, "At this level, it won't cause me any harm at all, will it?"
"Although it may not seem like much now, that's because this is just the beginning!"
Meng Zhengyang shook his head and explained.
"As time goes by, the power of the curse will become stronger and stronger. When your luck is completely exhausted by bad luck, even without its intervention, you are very likely to die in the dungeon because you have no luck left."
"Moreover, there are many examples of people who, once cursed by bad luck, have no fortune at all but are filled with misfortune, leading to their death in all sorts of accidents."
"For example, a heretical cultivator falling from the sky; someone choking to death while drinking water; someone being burned to death in a sudden house fire; a gas pipeline exploding..."
Meng Zhengyang only needed to say a few words for Chen Chu to understand how terrifying this curse was.
Even if a cursed player dies, they will never know who did it, and even if they do know, they will have no evidence.
After all, this was because the player's luck had run out, and they were simply unlucky.
"It's a bit difficult to break this bad luck!"
Meng Zhengyang frowned, pondering how to break the curse.
"Unless you find someone who can also cast curses, otherwise..."
While Meng Zhengyang was still pondering this.
Chen Chu calmly took out a huge peach.
Then Chen Chu took a big bite, and juice spilled out.
The sweet aroma of the peaches immediately tempted Meng Zhengyang.
"What is this? A peach spirit fruit?"
Chen Chu smiled; he already had an explanation.
"These are peaches of immortality, a good thing I got from the S-rank dungeon two years ago."
What are the uses of peaches?
Seeing that Chen Chu was enjoying the food so much, Meng Zhengyang wanted to try some too.
"Are there any more? Give me one."
Chen Chu frowned slightly. "Uncle Meng, this thing is for saving lives. Its effect is equivalent to a complete life potion."
Meng Zhengyang raised an eyebrow. "Who do you think you are? It's just a vial of life-saving medicine. Here you go!"
However, Chen Chu added, "The peaches of immortality can not only restore one's life state, but also keep one's appearance young for a hundred years. Most importantly, they can also remove curses!"
Meng Zhengyang was stunned after hearing this!
"How could a mere spiritual fruit have so many effects? And are you sure this thing can maintain one's youthful appearance for a hundred years?"
Even Meng Zhengyang's eyes were burning with desire.
Chen Chu naturally knew that Meng Zhengyang was also someone who valued appearance.
Moreover, Meng Zhengyang used a sealing technique to forcibly freeze his appearance at the age of twenty-something.
To outsiders, Chen Chu and Meng Zhengyang are actually about the same age.
However, the sense of vicissitude in Meng Zhengyang's eyes was something Chen Chu lacked.
Meng Zhengyang took out a box and placed it on the ground.
“What kind of relationship do we have? Uncle Meng has worked so hard to take care of you all these years. Now that you’re at the age where you can enjoy your retirement, Xiao Chen, you should be more sensible. There are some things that Uncle Meng can’t bring himself to say.”
Meng Zhengyang almost blurted out, "You should take the initiative to be filial to me."
Chen Chu was both amused and exasperated. "Here, take it!"
Chen Chu still had several peaches on him, all of which were low-level immortal fruits, so they weren't of much use to him anymore.
Moreover, the intermediate-grade peaches will soon be born.
Meng Zhengyang took a bite with great relish. The taste of this peach far surpassed any spiritual fruit he had ever eaten before.
It gave him a feeling of being on cloud nine.
At that moment, after Chen Chu finished eating a peach, a ghostly shadow suddenly appeared above his head, instantly turning into black smoke and dissipating into the air.
A flash of anger crossed Meng Zhengyang's eyes again. "Has that old man's curse been lifted?"
Chen Chu held the Prophet's Hat and sensed that the energy bar on his head was now completely unobstructed.
Among them, the pink aura strip is the widest and most intense.
"Uncle Meng, it's been removed. Now nothing is interfering with my fortune."
Chen Chu also breathed a sigh of relief. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to solve the problem at all.
Meng Zhengyang nodded and took a big bite of the peach.
"That old bastard dared to treat you like that! Don't worry, I'll definitely get revenge for you!"
Chen Chu was somewhat surprised, "Uncle Meng, you're trapped here now and can't go out for long, yet you can still help me get revenge?"
Meng Zhengyang gritted his teeth. He was indeed unable to move freely outside because of his responsibilities.
"Don't worry, we have connections at headquarters! Do you really think you're doomed after your father died?"
Could it be that Dad had some powerful connections at headquarters back then?
Just as Chen Chu was about to ask more questions, Meng Zhengyang spoke.
"You don't need to worry about it. You'll find out about your father's connections when the time comes."
Since Uncle Meng had said so, Chen Chu decided not to ask any further questions.
Meng Zhengyang, however, asked Chen Chu for another peach.
"Uncle Meng, what do you need the peaches for?"
"Nonsense, how could I ask for favors without giving some gifts? The martial world isn't just about fighting and killing; it also involves human relationships!"
...
The leave that Elder Duan had approved for Chen Chu and the others has ended.
Chen Chu was indeed going to be on duty at the Ministry of Security these past two days.
Of course, when Chen Chu was at work, he mostly went out on duty with Sister Xiangxiang.
As professional detectives, we must integrate into the daily lives of ordinary people when on duty.
Chen Chu and Xiang Xiang are best at playing lovers.
They acted just like a real couple.
We went shopping, watched movies, and even booked a hotel room... cough cough, booking the room was just to discuss the security situation in their assigned area.
It is definitely not about exploring the ultimate meaning of life.
On that very day, just as Chen Chu was getting ready to go to work, a phone call came in.
When Chen Chu looked at the caller ID, he was surprised to see that it was Teacher Qingqing calling.
"Chen Chu, are you free right now?"
"Teacher Qingqing, what's wrong?"
Teacher Qingqing's voice seemed hesitant, "I... I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor!"
