Celestial God-level Curse
"What is Ji Qiu up to?!"
Roger forcefully suppressed the urge to cough up blood.
The perspective shifts back to the Assassin Projection.
But they saw Ji Qiu retreating at an extremely fast speed!
He is very fast.
His movements were also very graceful.
But the movements were quite clumsy—
Because he was retreating while vomiting violently! A mess of filthy, indiscriminate substances was scattered all over the ground.
It instantly evaporated into air under the scorching heat of the uniquely hot rocks in the abyss.
If it weren't for the open terrain here...
It's probably already showing its flavor! Roger glanced at the data panel.
Fine.
After Ji Qiu moved out of position.
The frequency of the curse has decreased.
It changed from once every 10 seconds to once every 60 seconds.
"Retreat another 200 meters in 55 seconds..."
Quickly finish this sentence.
Roger then fell silent.
He began to review the 'replay' of the Assassin Projection.
In order to find out what exactly happened to Ji Qiu.
In an uninhabited valley.
The Bandage watched as Ji Qiu retreated.
A deep sadness flashed across his bright eyes.
He had half his body hidden inside the cave.
He covered his chest with his right hand.
Suddenly.
His chest heaved violently.
His tone also became more intense:...
Why did you lie to me?!
"You don't have a friend like me at all! Otherwise, why weren't you prepared to approach me?"
"I understand now. You're just like those demons; you only want to get close to me..."
Ji Qiu covered her mouth.
I vomited a huge amount.
He doesn't even remember eating that much!
He felt dizzy and lightheaded after vomiting for a while.
You can look down and take a closer look.
He discovered that what he vomited up were live creatures like rats and cockroaches! And at that moment...
These living creatures are running happily in the yellowish-green acidic water.
Some even came back to Ji Qiu!
Ji Qiu was so frightened that he quickly activated his True Qi.
Sweep away all the filthy things!
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you..."
It took quite a while.
Ji Qiu tossed out a sentence from a distance.
The effects of the curse have worn off.
But Ji Qiu still felt a sour and numb sensation in her mouth.
It felt as if many ants were frantically crawling on the roof of my mouth—
This thought made him feel nauseous again.
To avoid the psychological effect taking effect.
Ji Qiu tried hard to shift her attention.
But then something strange happened.
Even if the two sides are far apart.
But Ji Qiu's voice was raised.
The other party acted as if they hadn't heard them.
Where is the unmoving pillar?
She stared intently at Ji Qiu with a pair of deep, unsettling eyes.
It made him feel uneasy.
To be honest.
If it weren't for Roger's trial, Ji Qiu would have run away long ago.
Curses are such a wicked thing.
Ji Qiu was unaware that the curse emanating from the other party possessed Celestial God-level power.
But they also sensed a great danger.
This made him afraid to go any closer.
But giving up like that isn't in his nature.
Not to mention Roger was also spying on the screen!
So he paused for a moment.
He spoke to the Bandage man using Sound Transmission into the Secret method:
"I apologize in advance. I really don't have such a friend. I only came here because I was curious after hearing about your story and wanted to see if I could help."
"I really didn't expect this curse to be so powerful!"
Ji Qiu's two sentences were indeed sincere.
He is kind-hearted at heart.
After hearing about the Bandage situation.
His instinct was to think about whether he could help.
That's why they approached so decisively.
Who would have thought that the curse the other party carried was so outrageous?
Not only did I suffer some harm.
It seems even Lord Roger has been affected.
"The Sect Master is far away, and it's an avatar affecting the main body, so the impact should be less severe than mine, right?"
Such a thought flashed through Ji Qiu's mind.
It was at this moment.
The sound of Bandage drifted over from afar:
"Hehe...
Is it out of curiosity?
Then let me give you a piece of advice—
Stay away from me!
Curiosity will get you killed! You'll never know how terrifying the curse I carry is! Many people have already wasted their lives on it.
I don't want any more unnecessary sacrifices...
Do you understand?
After hearing this...
Ji Qiu remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he spoke in a muffled voice:
"You speak quite fluently..."
The Bandage returned very quickly this time:
"Of course! I'm not a stutterer, it's just that anyone would stutter after not communicating with people for so long... I hadn't seen a living intelligent being for almost a month before you!"
His tone still carried a hint of sadness.
But it's not as intense as it was at the beginning.
Ji Qiu silently made the most of her time.
I chatted with the Bandage guy for a while longer—he didn't seem to mind talking to people.
But those 55 seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
Ji Qiu quickly retreated 200 meters as fast as he could.
We've reached this distance.
It seems that shouting is no longer very convenient.
Ji Qiu could only try to continue communicating with the Bandage using Sound Transmission into the Secret:...
"Although I underestimated the power of the curse upon you, I truly want to help you. If you can tell me more about yourself, perhaps we can find clues together..."
After asking that question...
He felt a little uneasy.
Firstly, his purpose was not as simple as he claimed; secondly, although the other party could receive his Sound Transmission into the Secret, it seemed to have become more difficult for them to reply.
But in the blink of an eye...
Something happened that greatly surprised Ji Qiu—
A thin but unsteady voice reached his ears:
Are you a god?
Ji Qiu shook his head.
He immediately responded in surprise:
"I'm not a god... but why do you ask that? And how do you know how to Sound Transmission into the Secret..."
Ji Qiu's Sound Transmission into the Secret was taught to him by Roger.
This is an advanced technique used by Martial Artist for communication.
He has just sensed it repeatedly.
When the Bandage replied, it used the technique of Sound Transmission into the Secret!
This deeply shocked him.
Could it be that the person wrapped in Bandage is actually a Martial Artist?
Soon.
The Bandage then responded.
His voice was calm. "I don't know why, but I always learn things very quickly. Is this technique called 'Sound Transmission into the Secret'? It's actually quite useful..."
Ji Qiu was speechless.
He once suspected that the other party was playing him.
But think about it carefully.
He indeed couldn't sense any aura or energy from the Bandage man...
How did he use telepathy?!
Ji Qiu became even more curious.
"The reason I asked you if you were a god is because the strongest person I encountered told me that only a god could solve the problem I have..."
"If you're just a mortal, then trying to help me would only harm yourself; I appreciate your sincerity, but I'll pass..."
The Bandage said quietly:
"As far back as I can remember, I've been wandering. Along the way, I've met all sorts of people—some who harbored ill intentions towards me, some who sneered at me, but there were always kind people willing to lend me a helping hand..."
"Do you know? There was once a village that was willing to take me in."
They were willing to accept my misfortune...
At that time, the curse on me had not yet fully erupted.
Outwardly, it's just a little bit of bad luck.
Although some people are not very welcoming to me.
But most people in the village were willing to help me—
Especially the children.
They really enjoy playing with me.
At the beginning.
They would be terrified of the Bandage on my body.
But over time, it turned into their toy.
I got along very well with them.
That period was the happiest time of my life...
Upon hearing this, Ji Qiu sighed softly.
Since the Bandage guy is here to tell his story...
The outcome for that village is already obvious.
Really.
But then the Bandage said painfully:...
Then one day...
I went to the forest to pick mushrooms.
On my way back.
I saw a meteor fall from the sky and crash into the center of that village!
When I arrived.
It has been completely reduced to ruins and scorched earth...
I couldn't find any familiar faces after this Unexpected Calamity.
That day, the villagers were preparing for a harvest celebration.
No one expected it.
Such a bizarre tragedy has occurred...
It was after that incident.
The curse on me began to erupt wildly.
I couldn't hold back any longer..."
The Bandage's tone was relatively calm.
But Ji Qiu deeply felt his pain and helplessness.
He could sense it.
The soul within the Bandage is a person with needs for society and interpersonal relationships.
He longed for recognition.
I long to be with the person I like.
However, the curse he carried was too terrible.
That's why I had no choice but to wander alone.
He lived in seclusion.
"How long have you been homeless?"
Ji Qiu asked.
I can't remember.
My memory has always been hazy.
I even suspect that I've lost some very important memories!
Anyway, the last memory I can recall now is on the road of wandering.
I have no family or friends.
He has no siblings.
This world is utterly uninteresting to me.
There was a time when I even contemplated suicide.
But I quickly gave up on that idea...
"Oh?"
Ji Qiu snorted.
"Because I discovered that whenever I want to die, something even more terrible happens..."
Speaking of which...
The Bandage's tone carried a hint of hesitation:...
"When I first attempted suicide, a severe earthquake struck the entire continent, eventually causing it to shatter into pieces. The ocean swallowed many human settlements, and hundreds of thousands of lives perished at the bottom of the sea..."
"I attempted suicide for the second time, Sub-Plane I was in inexplicably collapsed..."
"For the third time—actually, I hadn't even taken action yet, but when I had the thought of suicide for the third time, the Greater Demon races I had previously come into contact with suddenly started an unrestrained and endless war... They were like madmen! I don't know what kind of power this was, but I knew I had to control myself, otherwise more people would suffer..."
Ji Qiu found it increasingly outrageous as she listened.
"When was the third time?"
He asked.
"It was about two months ago, or two and a half months? I can't quite remember..."
The Bandage sighed and said:...
"Both of those demon races sent people to find me, but although they appeared sincere on the surface, I could tell at a glance that they wanted to turn me into their weapon."
I refused their request.
And in this process.
Someone died because of me.
I am saddened by this.
He then had the urge to commit suicide again.
Not long after, I witnessed the strange phenomenon of war breaking out between the two races...
"It's all my fault!"
Ji Qiu was dumbfounded.
That's what I mean.
The battle between the Demon Dragon Race and the Magic Energy Angel was also due to the curse on the Bandage? Could this really not be a power struggle among the demons' higher-ups? Ji Qiu felt that his worldview had been completely shattered.
If I hadn't just felt like vomiting...
He even suspected that the Bandage guy was just making fun of himself!
"Is there really such a powerful curse in this world? So powerful that it's invincible, leaving not even a sliver of hope...?"
Ji Qiu asked unwillingly.
"I don't know... I only know that if it's not a god, there's only one way to get close to me, or to temporarily prevent me from harming those around me..."
The Bandage was mentioned briefly.
"What method?"
Ji Qiu asked in a deep voice.
"That means using items related to curses to absorb the curse power within me. I discovered this a long time ago; all items capable of releasing curses can absorb the curse power within me to some extent, except for those of very low quality..."
"For those who are obsessed with curses, I am the perfect charging material! That's why those two races came to me... Heh! They really aren't afraid of getting themselves into trouble!"
The Bandage said with a hint of self-deprecation:
"Given my current situation, I would generally need four powerful Curse Item to counteract the cursed power emanating from my body..."
"See this green head on my waist? That's a high-quality Curse Item. It can absorb a lot of cursed power, otherwise you'd probably be down by now..."
Ji Qiu frowned and said, "So you mean we need three more similar props?"
"No, only two are needed..."
The Bandage said slowly:
"Because the Bandage I'm wearing are also... and extremely powerful Curse Item!"
"Two items..."
Ji Qiu thought for a moment.
Unfortunately, he didn't have any items related to the curse on him.
All I can say is that I'll be more careful in the future.
But at that very moment...
Roger's voice suddenly rang out. "Silently recite in your heart the Time and Space Dragon..."
Ji Qiu immediately did as instructed.
Half a minute later.
The blessing from the Time and Space Dragon came into Ji Qiu's hands.
It was a thick book.
Phil's Secret Diary!...
Roger used it to kill the Eastern Devil.
Afterwards, because it was too vicious, it was sealed away and never used again.
I never imagined it might come in handy today.
"Why don't you try this?"
Ji Qiu tossed the item over from a distance.
It just so happened to be dropped right at the entrance of the hole.
"Do you have any items that can absorb the power of curses?"
The Bandage burst out of the hole excitedly.
The next second.
He pressed his hands firmly onto the book.
"I can feel it! He is truly neutralizing my curse..."
The Bandage shouted excitedly.
The words fell.
With a bang.
That book exploded on the spot!...
