The King of Curses

Chapter 247: Special Class Curse Master Candidate
Ten minutes ago.

"They really tried to conceal their movements, including their communications..."

On the way to the backstage of the auction, Jiang Yunmei said with a little pride.

"But it can't be hidden from my ears and eyes."

This answer was naturally within Cen Dongsheng's expectations, but Song Yutang wanted to know more deeply.

"How did they hide? Some modern technology, or..."

"It's a curse. Ordinary equipment can't hide from the eyes of so many curse masters. I just saw that each of them was covered with a layer of dark mist. They moved in an orderly manner along the safe passages and corners. They must have made a comprehensive plan in advance."

"But you still found out."

"That's right! The curse that can conceal your whereabouts from under the noses of nearly a hundred curse masters cannot stop my eyes..."

Jiang Yunmei's voice became higher and her tone slightly accelerated, as if she was happy.

She is not the type who seeks great power or a superior status, but after gradually realizing her own uniqueness, no one would not be happy about it.

"Just like what Teacher Cen said, it's because my ability is at a very high level, right?"

Reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, detection and concealment, are two forces that are completely opposite in nature. It is much easier to tell the level of a curse than "smashing the ground to compare the size of the hole".

Whoever has a higher priority and can gain the upper hand will have a higher-level curse.

"Very high? Specifically, how high is it...?"

"I don't know, I'm just guessing."

"——The power that resides in Yun Mei is most likely some kind of special forbidden curse, and it is related to the six magical powers of Buddhism."

Cen Dongsheng spoke this information casually, but the expressions of the two girls beside him changed rapidly.

"Special Curse?! Me?... Wait, wait, such an important matter, Teacher Cen just casually throws it out at this time?!"

If their conversation hadn't taken place through the "Clairvoyance", the attention of others would have been drawn to the girl's screams.

Looking at Jiang Yunmei's expression, she was genuinely surprised. Her delicate pink little mouth was slightly open, and she didn't even realize that the black-framed glasses used for decoration had slipped down her nose.

"It's just a guess, but it's very likely."

Cen Dongsheng said.

He deduced the conditions from the answer that had already been obtained in later generations. Because he was sure of the answer, he could present all kinds of evidence to prove it without hesitation.

Cen Dongsheng didn't mention this matter specifically before because he felt that Jiang Yunmei needed some time to adapt.

People who have just entered the world of spell masters have only a vague idea of ​​the concept of "special spells". Even if they are told about the great value of their abilities, it is difficult for them to feel it.

Moreover, without exposing the secret of the reborn person, it is difficult to explain how Cen Dongsheng knew the inside story. Even his behavior of taking the initiative to come to the door and invite him in the past seemed suspicious.

So for the past period of time, he put this matter aside and let Jiang Yunmei explore and adapt her talents on her own. After she formed some guesses bit by bit, Cen Dongsheng would give the correct answer.

In the man's view, Jiang Yunmei and An Zhizhen's first meeting is the best opportunity to reveal the truth——

After understanding the basic common sense of the world of spell-binding masters and witnessing with her own eyes the overwhelming presence of a true special-class spell-binding master, Cen Dongsheng believed that she had understood the meaning of the term "special-class spell-binding", and thus had an estimate of the heights she could reach in the future.

It's time to speak out -

"Guess? Just a guess..."

Jiang Yunmei couldn't believe it.

"I'm serious, Yunmei, didn't you notice it yourself?"

Cen Dongsheng teased, with a teasing tone in his voice.

"Senior Jiang, who thinks she is so 'smart'? She doesn't even realize the value of her own abilities?"

"I, I have only been... guessing..."

The other party refuted with insufficient confidence.

It seems that she did not fail to notice it, but after meeting the genuine special-class spell-binding master, she began to doubt herself and ruled out the correct answer.

This is the difference between "incomplete" and "complete", and Cen Dongsheng is the one who has the most say on this.

despite this--

What they hold in their hands is the ticket to the top level, a treasure in the world that is envied by countless people but unattainable.

"Okay, I'll put the most powerful evidence in front of you."

Cen Dongsheng said.

"Didn't I go to the Super Working Committee with you some time ago? Do you remember?"

Unlike Song Yutang, who had undergone special training in Laboratory No. 555 for a period of time, Senior Jiang's "No Obstacles" was not a spell used in combat, and it was difficult to improve through training, so Cen Dongsheng only took her to take a test.

The test content naturally has nothing to do with gunfire and rain of bullets. As mentioned in the introduction, it is easy to tell the level of perception-type spells.

"I remember. Teacher Cen just asked me to see if I could see through someone's disguise, and then let me go after the test. By the way, I haven't asked about the result of that test yet--"

"Because it's not necessary. The person you sensed at that time was a captain of the Operations Department of the Super Working Committee. He was good at the Ghost Immortal Curse, which could create a large-scale illusion covering a radius of 100 miles, causing hundreds of thousands of people to fall into a dream in an instant. And you were able to see through the illusion of a top-level curse master so easily, and the 'Heavenly Eyes' and 'Heavenly Ears' both have rich functions and ductility, and can change according to your wishes... All of the above are the characteristics of the highest-level curse."

"It turns out...that's it."

Jiang Yunmei murmured and accepted this statement.

"Are you happy?"

"I'm more shocked than happy... Teacher Cen, you guessed it a long time ago, right? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I won't tell you, lest you get your nose stuck in the air."

At this time, Song Yutang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked.

"Then... where is the Master?"

Her tone was calm, but there was a hint of hidden emotion in her voice.

Cen Dongsheng was sometimes quite perceptive. At this moment, he caught his disciple's emotions and sighed inwardly.

"Master seems to have never mentioned the level of the curse to us."

"Me too," he answered frankly.

“Is that so…?”

"My situation is similar to Yun Mei's. I am a candidate for the title of 'Special Curse Master' who has not yet fully grasped the full scope of my own power."

Cen he said.

"As long as you are not born with a 'life ban', learning the ban is just the beginning. You need to practice to master it, and the special ban is no exception. Of course, now we are undoubtedly the first-tier talents under the top powerhouses."

"But I still haven't remembered where I got the curse from. If it's a life curse, I don't have that complete feeling..." Jiang Yunmei frowned slightly.

On the way to the backstage, the three of them slowed down and looked at each other in silence.

This is indeed a problem.

Cen Dongsheng was concerned from the beginning. Since "No Obstacles" was not a life ban, how did it appear on the girl? The reason why he took Jiang Yunmei to the Chao Working Committee was out of concern for the unsolved mystery. After the physical examination, no abnormality was found in her body, and no answer was found. It became a mystery of some size.

"Besides, I'm still very fragile. Let alone Miss An's feeling of being invincible, compared to Teacher Cen..."

"This is the characteristic of different curses."

Cen Dongsheng said.

There should be one of the "Six Supernatural Powers" that can help Jiang Yunmei escape from her current embarrassing situation.

If she was only good at assisting, she would have been forcibly taken away by other forces long ago, instead of becoming the Secretary-General of the Chinese Forbidden Masters Association on her own.

"Before you grow into a true special forbidden spell master, you will need the cooperation and protection of teammates, and you will need the help of external objects. This is my judgment, so I have to find forbidden objects for you to protect yourself."

“是… …吗。”

Jiang Yunmei had recovered from her surprise, and her emotions gradually calmed down as she spoke, and she smoothly accepted the fact that she was a candidate. This showed that she was not really ignorant.

"Thank you, Mr. Cen. I didn't know you thought so much about me."

"You're my teammate, of course I'll take it seriously."

"..."

But besides her, he has another teammate——

A girl who seemed more "calm" than before these days.

While Cen Dongsheng and Jiang Yunmei were communicating, he paid some attention to quietly observe her expression.

That beautiful face that always looked lively, cute and full of spirit in the past, now always appears lost in thought, occasionally revealing a complicated look.

Cen Dongsheng naturally knew what she was thinking at the moment.

In fact, a Class A spell is already very powerful, and she is the elite among the spell-casters; coupled with her skills and talents, it will be no problem for her to become a magical sorcerer in the future.

This is already a high position in any organization.

...But if I really say it clearly at this moment, it doesn't sound like comfort.

There was an insurmountable gap between a sorcerer and a true top-class spell-binding master, and he was well aware of this - especially now that he had just mastered the "Transmutation of Otherness" to a level close to that of a sorcerer.

He has a goal, and as long as he follows the steps, he will be close to the end; a true sorcerer will not have such a good thing.

The most important thing is that they are partners in the same team, but there is a clear difference in their qualifications. After realizing this, the apprentice will definitely not feel very good.

If possible, Cen Dong hopes to have the opportunity to help Yu Tang reach a higher level. But unfortunately, this is not something he can decide.

Cen Dongsheng temporarily set his next target on the cruise ship that would set sail at the beginning of next year and would gather forces from all sides. He did not think he could definitely win, and he was not very sure that even the reborn people would fight for their own interests.

Besides this, there are other opportunities. Cen Dongsheng has eight years of memory, and he can remember a few clues related to "special forbidden spells/forbidden items"...

Just a little far away.

……

I don’t know if she also noticed Song Yutang’s silence, but Jiang Yunmei no longer continued the previous topic.

In a flash, they had already reached the backstage.

"Oh, I really am a crow's mouth."

She couldn't help but grumble again.

"how?"

"I found that several people in the backstage have been replaced by outsiders."

"You have a good eye."

"They all have residual auras, which are loopholes that I can see through at a glance..."

Cen Dongsheng stopped at the door and was thinking.

"Should we notify the people at Tianbao Pavilion?"

"I am thinking and guessing the purpose of this group of outsiders."

They wanted to cause trouble and attack the auction. But what was their motive?

According to common sense, since this group of people did not take action now, but chose to invade the backstage "unnoticed", then...

"For the auction items in the warehouse?"

Although there are not many items here that catch Cen Dongsheng's eye, for ordinary spell-binding masters, it is indeed a huge fortune worth taking risks for.

However, Cen Dongsheng felt that there must be other reasons.

There is no evidence, just a "feeling" - if this attack, which has not yet happened, is an independent incident with no connection to their previous series of encounters, there are too many coincidences in this world.

"Can you tell if it's related to the people who attacked you?"

"I can't tell... No, wait, 'leatherworker', 'leatherworker'..."

Jiang Yunmei muttered to herself, making a guess in an uncertain tone:
"Maybe it's them. I can feel that only a part of the people left in the curse are the original staff. In addition, the backstage is connected to other areas. If we want them not to notice anything unusual, there is only one way."

There is no use in disguising yourself unless you can become someone else entirely—

……

"When I found out that several backstage staff had been replaced, I was a little worried."

The man's expression changed rapidly. Jiang Yunmei, holding the "Lianshan Liuyaojian" in her hand, had glowing eyes, as if she wanted to see through the other person's skin to the inner essence.

"Damn it! I told you to just take your stuff and get out!"

He felt his whole body go hairy from being stared at. He roared angrily, and the muscles in his arms expanded like rubber. He swung his fist at the beautiful girl in front of him with a cunning face, showing no mercy at all.

"Don't blame me for being rude!"

The moment the opponent swung his fist, a dazzling flash of lightning hit his face, causing the guy to be ejected backwards at a faster speed like a ball.

Song Yutang appeared beside Jiang Yunmei. She hugged her arms and did not seem to be making any movements, but the enemy had been kicked more than ten meters away.

"Who is so ungrateful?" She snorted coldly.

The movement here immediately attracted the attention of others, but they soon lost interest in observing others because attacks came from all directions almost at the same time.

The sources of the attacks were all familiar colleagues around them, and people fell into chaos for a while.

This was a surprise attack, but the imposters wearing human skins did not have an advantage in numbers. If they could hold out for a while, the people of Tianbao Pavilion might have a chance to regain control.

However, this is just the beginning.

Ten seconds later, everyone heard the loud noise.

"boom!"

An explosion like a volcanic eruption came from outside, shaking the walls and the ground. It came from the main venue of the auction.
