The King of Curses

Chapter 113 Super Working Committee

The woman's expression froze for a moment.

After a while, she forced herself to smile.

"Um... Sir, I am not your enemy..."

She looked at the man in the top hat and his subordinates lying on the ground not far away, anger burning in her pupils.

"They are. They broke into our living area without any reason, wreaked havoc and hurt people. They are really a bunch of unreasonable bastards."

Cen Dongsheng could understand where her anger came from. The bar owned by the lady boss was now on fire.

He looked in the direction of the Red Dust Bar and found that the Red Dust Bar was covered by smoke and could not be seen clearly in the raging fire, but the overall structure of the house did not seem to have changed and was still standing.

Perhaps some kind of cursed power is protecting this building.

Amid the shrill sirens, the red fire truck had arrived at the other end of the street.

What the boss lady said sounded right. In addition, Cen Dongsheng also knew that she would become a follower of King Pingdeng in the future, and was indeed a person that could be won over by his own forces. But...

"I'm not trying to help you. Now, do as I say."

Cen Dongsheng's tone was cold and hard. He knew how to communicate with a spell master, especially a stranger whose attitude he couldn't confirm, how to leave a deep first impression and make the other party dare not act rashly.

Not only does he have experience, he has also witnessed the operating procedures of higher-level departments more than once.

"Wait a minute, what does giving up resistance mean?"

"Just crouch there with him. Keep your hands up where I can see them, and don't make any movements."

The proprietress's chest heaved twice and her face turned gloomy.

The number of spell-breakers in this era is relatively scarce. When they awaken their own powers, they will soon realize that there is an absolute gap between themselves and ordinary people.

Some people will become indulgent and act recklessly because of this; and even if cautious people choose to conceal their own information, they cannot hide their arrogant temperament when dealing with others.

It's like if you encounter the police or law enforcement officers, ordinary people will not be afraid or shrink back, but at least they will subconsciously restrain their temper; but this group of people will definitely react by using their own abilities to fight back, and they will not take social order seriously at all.

And what Cen Dongsheng did now would undoubtedly remind them once again of the image of those "law enforcers" that they had already disregarded...

However, he was not an ordinary person. The proprietress had seen the young man's ability with her own eyes, so after being angry for a while, she still did as she was told.

He seems to be a man who knows the times.

Cen Dongsheng nodded with slight satisfaction and opened his phone again.

"I've sent someone over."

Sister Zhizhen's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ms. Kong again?"

"you guessed right."

“…She’s really busy.”

"It can't be helped. Now is a time of hard work and development. As a veteran, Ms. Kong naturally has to be busy."

An Zhizhen laughed.

"Speaking of which, today is truly a memorable day. The Tianhai City Supernatural Response Working Committee has officially been established."

Cen Dongsheng glanced at the two spell masters who were no longer resisting but were secretly observing him, and said in a low voice.

"That is to say..."

"Yes. Although the organization's personnel structure has not yet been fully established, but Dongsheng, now no matter what you do, it can be regarded as 'justified'."

It’s so simple.

Cen Dongsheng was in a daze for a moment and realized that Sister Zhizhen's actions might be even faster than in her previous life.

The Supernatural Response Committee, as a pilot department first established in Tianhai City and symbolizing the cooperation between the national government and folk curse masters, will soon be popularized in cities across the country, and lay the foundation for the establishment of a ruling bureau in the era of "separation of ancestors" when human society is moving from disintegration to restoration of order.

It may not be right to say that An Zhizhen's actions are usurping the magpie's nest... After all, she has always been the main promoter of the establishment of the Super Working Committee and its various tasks. However, the Philosopher King is selfless and ambitious, and he had laid the groundwork from the very beginning.

It was precisely because of her deep involvement that the process of the Super Working Committee, which was originally a representative of a government department and a product of cooperation between ordinary people and curse masters, being transformed into a ruling bureau with her as the core leader, was so smooth.

"This gentleman..."

The proprietress eavesdropped on the conversation between Cen Dongsheng and the person on the other end of the phone and asked cautiously.

"Are you... from the government? I, I'm really different from him. I'm just a local who runs a bar. I didn't expect someone would suddenly come to my door... I'm really a victim."

"I know you are from here, Guo Cui'e, right?"

Cen Dongsheng called out the other person's name casually.

The woman's face changed, but when she thought about the other person's possible identity, she no longer found it strange.

"Yes, I am. May I ask who you are?"

"I'm from the Paranormal Working Committee, which stands for the Paranormal Response Working Committee."

"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it."

Cen Dongsheng nodded.

It's normal not to know. If you heard this name in July 2010, you must be an extremely well-informed person.

After all, it is a newly established department. It is estimated that all work is still in the intensive preparation stage, and there is no chance to synchronize with other regions. It feels like a makeshift team... But this is not important. All he needs is an identity.

Cen Dongsheng once again confirmed with Sister Zhizhen how to deal with the two people, and then all he had to do was wait for the contact person to arrive.

Although the entire department's consultation and liaison between the central and local governments and between the official and private sectors, as well as the establishment and registration process, lasted nearly two months, the necessary measures had been prepared in advance, including the detention of curse masters.

In addition, the first special operations team has also been formed. Its members include An Zhizhen's subordinates, some recently recruited folk curse masters, and ordinary people selected from the armed police force and the public security special police. Although there is no record of formal mission execution, more than ten real-life exercises have been conducted, including two haunted houses that have been exorcised.

If the person being detained this time was not a Class B3 curse master, Kong Yinlian might not be needed.

Speaking of which, Ms. Kong, whose spell-binding level was forcibly promoted to Class A by An Zhizhen, could currently become a senior veteran in any spell-binding master's faction... It's a pity that she is now tied to someone's car.

"Anyway, just wait. My colleagues will be here soon to take you to where you need to go." Cen Dongsheng pointed at the man in the top hat lying on the ground, and said to Guo Cui'e:

"He is a serious threat to society, causing disorder and civilian casualties. He will need to be controlled later... As for you, just cooperate with our investigation, give a statement, and you can leave."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, the proprietress breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't do anything to her or the people in the bar, she really had no intention of resisting.

However, Guo Cui'e couldn't help feeling confused. She didn't expect to meet the government's curse master at this time...but how come she had never heard of him?
Of course, she didn't know that the "first wave" of spiritual energy revival had only arrived a few months ago, and she and the people in front of her were actually among the first group of people to try it out.

And on the other side-

The man in the bowler hat began to breathe heavily.

He confirmed that he had not heard of the name of the "Super Working Committee".

The Wanxian Chaohui is already the largest organization of spell-binding masters in my hometown, with several halls and more than a hundred formal members. It has also absorbed a large number of people engaged in superstitious activities and members of folk religious organizations, immortal halls and witches from all over the country.

When the tide of the times came, their leader took the initiative and possessed extremely terrifying abilities, so no one could compete with him.

At present, the church is in contact with the local government and is still in the cautious early communication stage...

Moreover, as an elite member who is qualified to be on the soul-returning tablet, the man in the top hat knows some inside information.

Before this, in fact, there had always been secret contacts and cooperation between civilian special people and the government, but such people were extremely rare in any country, and it was difficult to cooperate with them in research. Most people did not believe in their existence, and even if they had some special abilities and tricks, they could not make waves in modern society.

But after the revival of spiritual energy, the number and strength of the group of curse masters have rapidly expanded, and their attitude towards the government agencies, which are still mainly composed of ordinary people, has begun to become subtle.

People's hearts are in flux, and different interest groups or individuals have different ideas. The official attitude has always been to maintain stability and act cautiously, so it is not easy to draw a conclusion.

Tianhai City is moving faster, and the man in the top hat still thinks it is possible. Maybe it is because there is a core figure leading the way behind the scenes. Although he does not think he is as good as the leader...but this is the Magic City after all, the degree of importance is different, and the efficiency is naturally different.

But there is another possibility -

That is, this guy is bluffing. He does not represent the official authorities at all, but is a certain civil group using the tiger's skin as a banner.

No matter which one it is, I don't want to sit and wait for death.

Judging from this guy's expression and what he just said, if he was really taken away and imprisoned, with no means of resistance, and surrounded by the so-called "colleagues" in his mouth, he might never get out...

Of course, the biggest reason might be his awareness that he was superior as a curse master. Apart from his own organization, the man in the top hat was unwilling to accept control from other forces, even if they were official.

In silence, his breathing became weak, and the man in the top hat entered into meditation without hesitation.

Even though he knew he was under the opponent's nose and it would be easy for him to notice anything unusual, he still insisted on doing it - because if he didn't do so, he would have no chance of winning.

At the critical moment, the man in the top hat was clear-minded, and the Qi in his body flowed smoothly, and he performed beyond his normal level.

This is his "third curse", which has the most powerful effect and the strongest negative effect. If he cannot defeat the enemy within a few minutes, he will lose all combat ability.

A huge energy that did not belong to the mortal body descended from the darkness, penetrated along the skin and bones, and into the internal organs, causing earth-shaking changes to his body.

"The knife turned into goose feathers, the iron ruler turned into lantern wicks... the stone turned into bubbles, and my body turned into bronze skin and iron bones——"

The man in the top hat moved his lips and chanted the mantra in a weak voice.

Naturally, his strange behavior could not be hidden from the people around him. Guo Cui'e stared at this man vigilantly and quickly reported him loudly.

"Sir, look at him...!"

Cen Dongsheng also saw it clearly, but he had no intention of stopping it.

"He wore twelve iron hats, twelve layers of iron armor...three turns of copper armor, three layers of iron armor..."

Faced with the top hat man's desperate attempt, he just smiled with interest, folded his arms, and waited for the other party to recite the mantra to the last moment.

A ray of light descended from the sky and burst out from the body of the curse master, from the inside to the outside, so fast that his skin, flesh, bones and even hair began to shine with golden light.

"you……"

Guo Cui'e widened her eyes in shock.

"No hurry, I want to see his methods."

He said.

To be precise, it was the means of the "Gathering of Ten Thousand Immortals". Cen Dongsheng wanted to know what stage they had reached at this point in July 2010.

Guo Cui'e's eyes became strange. She probably felt that the young man's current image was like the stupid villain in the story who always waited for the protagonist to rise up and missed the opportunity.

But Cen Dongsheng really doesn't care.

And, he had already recognized the prototype of the opponent's move...

“——Please Master, please possess me!”

The man in the top hat suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly. The dazzling golden light on his body became more and more intense. At the same time, his whole body made a "crackling" sound. The adult's already fixed bones grew rapidly, and his body swelled up like an inflated balloon.

After a few seconds, his originally thin body became as exaggerated as a bodybuilder, his muscles bulged like hills, and his height reached over two meters and three meters. Cen Dongsheng, who was originally nearly one meter ninety, could only look up at him now.

But the head on this strong body stimulated by the curse has not changed much. It does not match the current body size and looks quite funny.

The man in the top hat was very satisfied with his body that had been "possessed by God". He felt that his whole body was filled with endless terrifying power and he was in the best condition ever.

The art of divine attack is a secret method that can tap into a person's potential and allow him to challenge opponents of higher levels. Coupled with the power of "Big Mars", even if the opponent is a top-level curse master, he can -

The next moment, he looked into the young man's eyes and his thoughts were instantly cut off.

In the last shot in his vision, he saw the young man casually pull out a concrete electric pole from the side of the road, pick it up with one hand, and swing it as lightly as if he were waving a wooden stick. The head of the pole, weighing several tons, smashed towards his forehead amid the whistling wind.

……

When he regained consciousness, his strong body, which had been glowing with golden light, had deflated like a deflated doll, and his skin had turned bluish-gray.

The young man was standing with his arms folded across his chest, looking down at himself with a smile on his face; beside him, a woman in her thirties, expressionlessly summoned a colorful centipede to wrap around his entire body.

The centipede bit his neck lightly, and his vision instantly became blurred. His consciousness, which had just awakened, was once again pulled out of this body...

Before he fell into a coma, he only heard one sentence:

"Okay, take him away."
