Underworld Retrograde

Chapter 53: Notes on Strange Stories

"It's really a troublesome curse." Li Yelai saw Yin Huo's acquiescence and couldn't help but sigh: "In the case of distrust, even if you know that she is a teammate, you will not leave your back to her, right? Not only that, many You don’t dare to tell her about this confidential mission, right?”

"No, her authority is not low, and she will naturally have the necessary information. However, teammates really dare not leave their behinds to her." Yin Huo nodded: "This is also one of the reasons why she acted alone. Although, we I know rationally that it's the influence of the curse, and I can suppress my suspicions and tell her the information. But every time I see her or mention her, I can't help but be suspicious of her."

"Perhaps to prove herself, she often faces dangerous tasks alone. This makes her strength rise quickly. She is already a six-sense psychic."

"Speaking of which, your curse resistance is very high, so don't worry about it. When you grow up, you might be able to become her teammate." Yin Huo said, "It's a good thing."

"Well, let me survive the bad luck first, right?" Li Yelai spread his hands: "I'm even afraid of lightning striking my head. By the way, can a psionic person withstand lightning?"

"The psychic barrier is thick enough, or the physical strength is high enough. Of course, if you have the ability to control thunder in the return path, you may not have to worry. It's hard to tell everything about you, so don't go out on rainy days!" Yin Huo! Complaining: "Stay away from me when it rains!"

"How can this be done? I have to fight you to death!" Li Yelai also complained.

Afterwards, Yin Huo took Li Yelai out of the headquarters and got into a vehicle returning to the Dongcheng branch.

The first phase of Operation Ark has ended.

And in a window on a certain floor of the headquarters, Xiao Kuang Wang silently looked at the cars going away.

"Have you seen Night General?" An old woman approached her about five meters away, stopped and smiled. Even the senior management of the processing department did not approach the Little Mad King. This is what he considers a safe distance.

"Well, he is indeed not affected by the curse." Little Crazy King responded calmly: "In the future, he may be my teammate. But right now, he is still too weak. Do you really not want to let him go into the wilderness to train?"

"It's not time yet." The old woman responded with a smile: "Other than that? What else do you have in mind?"

"Thoughts?" The little mad king showed a rare smile: "His curse resistance is so strong, wouldn't he be the best candidate to kill that human traitor!"

The old woman was startled. She naturally knew who the human traitor the little mad king was talking about.

Some experienced psykers not only have powerful psychic abilities, but can also apply curses in combat.

Like a doll, she uses the curse of fear incarnation to put enemies who see her into a state of fear, and turns the curse into a weapon.

Once upon a time, there was a psyker with powerful curse ability in Border City No. 2.

Her curse causes all creatures who see her to fall in love with her. And after that person was corrupted by a force, he became a member of the restricted heaven realm. Killed for many nights without harvesting.

Due to the existence of this curse and the protection of the heavenly realm, many teams that wanted to eliminate the traitors ultimately failed.

Therefore, in Xiao Kuang Wang's opinion, Li Yelai's curse resistance is high enough and can effectively kill the enemy.

"Then let's wait until he is strong enough before we consider this." The old woman thought for a while and did not deny the proposal, but continued to ask: "Do you have any other ideas?"

"Others? None." Little Mad King said calmly: "If he had appeared five years earlier, I would not have let him leave. But now, I don't need him anymore."

"Do you think I will believe it?" The old woman frowned.

"It sounds like you will believe me now?" Little Mad King said calmly.

The next day, Li Yelai, who had just finished training at the branch, was stuffed into the car by Cheese and taken away.

She had promised Cheese before that she would go to her uncle's place for dinner.

Li Ye came to the branch and asked some colleagues with whom he had good conversations.

I learned that my uncle’s daughter was also a member of the team.

Cheese's cousin, codenamed Floating.

There was once an elite team that never stopped at night, strong men with five senses!

It is said that he is still the person who introduced Yang Chen, the current captain.

At the same time, she is the uncle's daughter.

But in an operation a few years ago, an elite team was almost wiped out.

When Jucheng sent personnel to find them in the wilderness, only four handlers, including Yang Chen, survived. The bodies of the rest of his teammates were not saved.

Fuyou also died in that operation.

Perhaps out of revenge, Cheese eventually joined the team.

Her uncle, on the other hand, was particularly friendly to the officials, especially the members of the first team.

Perhaps seeing his teammates on the first team reminded him of his daughter.

Thinking of this, Li Yelai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, felt a little complicated: "Is there anything I should pay attention to later?"

"Just eat honestly and then leave." Cheese glanced at Li Yelai: "Why, you are panicking when you see your parents? Are you missing a few steps?"

Afterwards, Cheese was silent for a while and said: "Don't pay too much attention to anything. He just knows that you saved me and expressed his gratitude. Just follow what he says. If there is any strange name, , just continue to cooperate with me.”

"Weird title?" Li Yelai frowned.

Soon, Cheese drove Li Yelai to a high-end apartment in Huancheng District.

Pushing open the door, Li Yelai saw a beautifully decorated and warm living room. He also saw a middle-aged couple busy in the kitchen.

After seeing Li Yelai, the middle-aged man wearing an apron and holding a pot of hot soup urged with a smile: "Xiao Ye, Xiao Qi. You are finally here. Come on, come and try my cooking."

For some reason, Li Yelai remembered that Cheese's name was not Xiao Qi, but Xiao Ya.

And, that Xiao Qi seemed to be her cousin's name?

Li Yelai looked at Cheese strangely, but Cheese was indifferent to it and responded to his uncle's words: "Dad, your cooking skills are not that good."

"You little girl" Uncle responded, looking at Li Yelai with pleading eyes.

Dad? Xiao Qi?

Li Yelai's heart moved and understood something. So, he also greeted his uncle with a smile.

"Hello, uncle!"

"What a handsome young man! Xiaoqi has grown up. She knows how to bring people home." The middle-aged woman enthusiastically asked Li Yelai to sit down and praised his appearance.

"Hello, auntie!"

This made Li Yelai greet her a little reserved. He didn't feel any pressure to communicate with his peers about eating.

But it was the first time to visit the elders' home.

So, he sat honestly at one side of the table and picked up the rice under the warm hospitality of his uncle and aunt.

Cheese sat next to him, and his bowl had been empty for a long time. But he found that his uncle and aunt were still picking up food for Li Yelai and asking about his well-being.

Li Yelai seemed a little hesitant. It was completely different from usual.

Cheese couldn't help but stretch out his little feet, threw off his slippers, and stepped on the instep of Li Yelai's feet.

"Don't you usually talk a lot?" Cheese complained: "Are you mute now?"

"They are too enthusiastic, I'm afraid." Li Yelai swung his calves to squeeze Cheese's feet away, and responded in a low voice.

"What are you afraid of?" Cheese raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I'm afraid that once I open my mouth, we will become a family. That's another price!" Li Yelai complained.

"It's funny, you're dreaming!" Cheese became more and more angry as he spoke, and stepped on Li Yelai again: "You talk as if you're at a disadvantage!"

As if he noticed the movement under the table, the uncle glanced at Cheese: "Xiao Ye rarely comes here, don't bully him!"

Cheese was a little numb, why is this uncle still turning his elbow outward?

At this time, the aunt looked at the two people who were complaining about each other, but her eyes suddenly turned red.

"If Xiao Qi was still there, she should bring the boy home."

Li Yelai and Cheese's faces froze, and the uncle's face was also unpredictable.

That Xiao Qi was their daughter. Cheese's cousin.

Before, the reason why Cheese was called Xiaoqi was because my aunt seemed to have mistaken Cheese for Xiaoqi.

The other three people just let it be called this way and acted with my aunt.

But unfortunately, in the end, my aunt seemed to wake up.

Her emotions were a little out of control, and tears kept falling: "Xiaoqi, Mom misses you so much, my baby"

Uncle got up and comforted her repeatedly. He took my aunt back to the room.

After a long time, my uncle, who looked tired and haggard, returned to the dining table and sighed to Li Yelai: "I'm sorry, she was looking forward to your arrival. Unfortunately, when I was cooking, I suddenly... Please accompany me to act."

"No." Li Yelai shook his head.

He understood that my aunt could not accept the death of her daughter and often regarded Cheese as her daughter.

Originally, she also knew that Xiaoya brought her colleagues to eat, but the disease suddenly broke out and she regarded Cheese as Xiaoqi again.

Finally, she suddenly woke up while eating. The grief of losing her daughter made her emotionally collapsed again.

Perhaps to divert this sad topic, the uncle wiped his face.

He said to Cheese: "I have arranged the university. You can register for the university tomorrow. You..."

"Wait!" Cheese frowned and interrupted: "Uncle, are you confused? I graduated a long time ago! Why do I need a university?"

Li Yelai also looked strange.

Cheese, who came from a well-off family, went directly to university after graduating from high school. He graduated a long time ago.

Uncle frowned and looked at Cheese: "What nonsense are you talking about. You."

Then, the uncle seemed to feel something strange.

He shook his head vigorously: "No, you have indeed graduated. But why. What's going on? Why do we want you to enter Huancheng University?"

Cheese and Li Yelai's faces changed. Uncle's current behavior was obviously affected by some kind of hypnosis or suggestion ability.

"【Listen to me】Clear thinking!" After Cheese used his ability, he quickly swallowed saccharin.

Uncle's expression was no longer tangled, but surprised: "I have been infected with a power?"

Cheese frowned and asked: "When did you have this idea? Who did you meet to have this idea?"

Uncle frowned and recalled for a long time, and said: "It seems. It seems that when I went to Huancheng University to discuss business. I suddenly wanted you to enter that school."

Uncle is in the tile business, and Huancheng University City needs to replace tiles recently.

He went to the school half a month ago.

"Is there a problem with that school?" Li Yelai frowned: "But hypnotized uncle to let you enter the school? For what?"

"At this time, you can't just rely on speculation." Cheese responded and contacted the branch directly. Reported the whole process.

Soon, more information was reported.

After the Fantasy Band incident, people in East City began to send their children in their twenties to this Ring City University. Some of them transferred from other universities.

Those affected were either young and beautiful girls or children of wealthy businessmen.

Their parents and elders, or themselves, were determined to get them into the university.

Some people gave up their decent jobs and left behind their high salaries of thousands of Giant City coins per month.

Some people, even though they could not afford the fees, had to scrape together the tuition to enter the university.

At the same time, a kind of rule-based strange talk suddenly emerged in the university. But it has always been just a rumor, and there has been no abnormality in the real university.

The authorities have sent many handlers to the university to investigate, and also lifted the hypnosis of those affected.

It is initially speculated that this may be a taboo that escaped before.

Class C taboo, strange talk notes!

This is a paper version that randomly generates strange talks within a certain range.

The holder can not only view all the rules and understand how to crack them.

You can also choose some characteristics to attract people who meet the characteristics within the range.

Once the effect is triggered, if those rules are violated within this range, the taboo will eliminate the violator.

At the least, the violator will lose his memory, and at the worst, the brain will be damaged or even die.

The official once listed this taboo as one of the defense methods of the Black Prison. He wanted to use the strange rules to strengthen the defense of the Black Prison.

But later he found that the rules generated by this guy at random were too troublesome.

In the end, he gave up this proposal.

Obviously, Cheese's uncle was influenced by this taboo and wanted to send Cheese to college.

"Is that so?" Cheese analyzed, "So we know that someone in the university has obtained the forbidden object."

"And the candidates who have been dragged into the ghost story have been selected. Young and beautiful girls and rich second and third generations with a good family background. Hey, I should be the former. Therefore, my uncle, who was affected, had a logical loophole and wanted me to go back to university."

"So conceited!" Li Yelai complained and asked, "Why is there such an option?"

"Haven't you heard of Long Aotian?" Cheese glanced at Li Yelai and said, "The other party is probably quite second-year, and wants to use the ghost story to slap the rich second generation in the face and win the heart of the beautiful woman. Otherwise, these characteristics would not be chosen. He They specially found these "audiences" to show off in front of the audience."

Li Yelai frowned: "Just for this, use the taboo?"

"Using taboos to satisfy desires is the most common." Cheese responded: "They don't understand the dangers of taboos. Many tragedies are caused by this."

"However, although ghost stories are troublesome, they are not too dangerous for us psychics." Cheese responded: "The authorities intend to let us in together. Find the holder."

"We?" Li Yelai pointed at himself with a puzzled look: "Am I also included?"

"Of course, with you here, the other party may just get close to my face!"
