Chapter 154 The Terrifying Black Curse: A City Shrouded in the Fear of Death
From Lin Qingyan's mouth.
Jiang Yuan learned of this.
The day after the Abyss invasion.
A terrifying plague known as the Black Curse has broken out simultaneously in Beijiang City and Nanjiang City!
It seems that this plague, a fusion of curse and germ, had been lurking in the human body for a long time.
But it suddenly erupted overnight!
In just two days, hundreds of thousands of people have lost their lives!
Most of them are ordinary people.
A small number are low-level martial artists of the first or second rank.
The Black Curse is incredibly troublesome and difficult to deal with.
Even if the Martial Arts Association uses a super-level healing scroll, it can only alleviate the rapid damage to the body caused by the disease, but cannot cure it.
"It seems that because mid-level and high-level martial artists have stronger life magnetic fields, the Black Curse Virus cannot break through and infiltrate their bodies, so martial artists above the fourth level are almost immune to this disaster."
"In order to prevent the black curse from spreading and affecting more cities, the upper echelons of the Great Xia Dynasty used a relic to isolate the heavens and earth, covering Beijiang City and Nanjiang City. No one is allowed to enter or leave without orders."
"Look at StarNet, there are reports about this everywhere right now."
As Lin Qingyan spoke, she opened the living room window.
Although it was daytime, it was as dark as night outside, and a torrential downpour was in full swing.
A faint red curtain of light could be seen covering the sky.
Jiang Yuan opened the Star Domain, and the top trending topic was "Black Curse".
Scroll down.
Numerous images of the disaster-stricken cities, videos showing people with black spots on their faces in despair and collapse, their appearance utterly tragic...
"Waaaaah, Mommy, wake up, wake up..."
Watching the video of a little girl wailing in the rain while holding her mother's body, Jiang Yuan felt incredibly heavy-hearted.
"I see……"
"The Black Curse".
"This is the culprit behind the unknown illness in Beijiang City."
"That's the matter the drama master was talking about..."
"So, the Church of Suffering is the mastermind behind all of this?!"
Jiang Yuan murmured, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
Lin Qingyan said, "It's not just the Church of Suffering; the Abyss Believers and the Cult of the Machine God are also involved in this matter."
"On the second day after the Black Curse broke out, which was yesterday, a ninth-tier Abyss Believer High Priest and a ninth-tier mechanical monster appeared in the center of Nanjiang City, announced the name of the plague, and claimed that they would sacrifice a total of 850 million people from Beijiang City and Nanjiang City to the Abyss."
"Although the two were eventually suppressed and repelled by Chairman Qin and others, it still resulted in more than 50,000 deaths and caused all machinery in Nanjiang City to go out of control and transportation to come to a standstill."
"Everyone in the city is now living in fear."
"Have the Ten Ministers intervened?"
"Yes, it's not just them, even the royal family has stepped in. After all, it involves the lives of millions of people. They are said to be actively looking for a solution, but you'd better not have too much hope."
Lin Qingyan crossed her arms and said.
The curse from the previous life was stopped because the Red King entered with the relic and perished together with the [Yin Lord], thus eliminating the strange curse carried by the plague.
Otherwise, even a demigod wouldn't be able to help.
She sighed softly, "Although I hate to admit it, in this matter, you and I are the same—we can't do anything about it."
Jiang Yuan remained silent, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.
Lin Qingyan: "Where are you going?"
"go home."
"Don't forget the favor you owe me. Also, don't even think about using your flames to save people. You can't purify the black curse. Your powerful life force will only accelerate its spread," Lin Qingyan said to his back.
Jiang Yuan didn't answer, but waved his hand with his back to her, and his figure disappeared into the howling wind and rain.
…………
Because I was worried about my family.
Jiang Yuan was eager to return home and sped through the wind and rain.
They arrived at the Martial Arts Guild soon.
The headquarters of the Martial Arts Guild has also become a refuge. On the first floor alone, a large number of refugees with black spots on their faces are sleeping, their eyes filled with fear and anxiety.
Jiang Yuan walked in.
They all looked surprised.
"Dad, that big brother doesn't have any black spots on his face," a little boy said to his father, pointing at Jiang Yuan.
"Jiang, Jiang Yuan?!"
Elsa, the blonde beauty who was distributing food with others, was both surprised and delighted to see Jiang Yuan.
"Miss Elsa, are my parents here?"
"Yes, yes. I'll inform the president right away!" Elsa replied hastily.
……
soon.
Under Elsa's leadership.
Jiang Yuan arrived at the 33rd floor of the Martial Arts Association.
I met my parents and my aunt's family.
They were sitting on the sofa in the room chatting, their mood somber, as if shrouded in an invisible cloud.
"Dad, Mom," Jiang Yuan called softly.
The group suddenly turned their heads to look.
"Xiao, Xiao Yuan?!" Jiang's mother stood up in disbelief.
Mo Xixi burst into tears and rushed over.
"Yuan Guo~!!"
She clung to Jiang Yuan's neck and wailed loudly.
"I thought you were dead!!"
"Waaaaah!!"
"Very good!!"
The family reunited and wept with joy.
But after the joy of reunion...
Jiang Yuan's pupils contracted when he saw the faint black spots on their faces.
"Dad, Mom, Aunt, Uncle, Xixi, you all...!!"
"Mom and Dad are fine, I'm just glad you're safe and sound," Jiang's mother said, wiping away her tears.
Jiang Damu nodded vigorously, forcing a smile.
Jiang Yuan's throat bobbed, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"Is this... a curse?"
Mo Lingfeng and Tao Yufeng sighed softly.
"well……"
"It's fate."
"It's not a big deal if we die when we're old, but it's a pity for Xixi." Tao Yufeng looked at Mo Xixi, her eyes reddening and tears streaming down her face.
Mo Lingfeng reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Jiang Yuan looked at them, feeling uneasy.
Then he looked at his cousin, who was burying her head on his shoulder.
She looked up, tears streaming down her face, wiped her red nose with her finger, and grinned at him:
"Yuan-ge, don't make that face, I feel perfectly fine right now!"
"Besides, Sister Yan and that seemingly amazing Sister Bei both said they would find a way to save us all, and I believe them!"
Looking at the girl who was pretending to be strong.
Then I looked at my parents, who were forcing smiles, trying to put my mind at ease.
Jiang Yuan felt a strange, inexplicable pang of sadness.
This is the first time.
He was more afraid than ever before.
