Chapter 872 The Curse of the Spear of the Rending King

On a special island where time seemed to stand still, Xia Shou and the others read through all the notes Hu Ling had brought back.

There wasn't much useful information, but we could get a general idea of ​​Lin Rizhe's life. He had held on to this place for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't keep the secret. And over the years, he had always been very concerned about Lin Tiandong.

Xia Shou always felt depressed whenever he saw anything about Lin Tiandong. The thought of meeting Lin Rizhe in the future and having to tell him what had happened to Lin Tiandong made him feel a lot of pressure.

There is also Huangfu Zuoren.

Because of a verbal agreement, that guy went to the underworld to find the Detective Notes, but ended up being brought to this era by mistake. Later, he became very close to Lin Rizhe because of the Detective Notes.

Huangfu Zuoren believed in gods and men and had notes, so he naturally became a supervisor in the days that followed, using his notes to monitor everyone's behavior patterns.

This was certainly not an easy life, so Huangfu Zuoren lived a very lonely life. In the later part of Lin Rizhe's diary, we can see many conversations between him and Huangfu. The two had become close friends, and Huangfu most often mentioned his father.

He seemed to hate his father, but he also seemed to have reconciled with him deep down. He said he wouldn't mind living with his father again if the other party was willing.

It's clear that although Huangfu Zuoren was once a good assassin, the lack of paternal love from childhood left a void in his heart, which makes him incredibly forgiving of his father.

Unfortunately, his father had already been killed by Xia Shou.

The more Xia Shou read these words, the more he felt that time was a cruel thing. When the speed of time differs between people, everything can change in an instant... whether it is interpersonal relationships or anything else.

Xia Shou couldn't imagine what Lin Rize and Huangfu Zuoren, who had lived here for so many years, had become.

The others on the Black Pearl seem to have come up with a new plan: to follow Sparrow's passive approach, go to another place where the time flow is slower, wait for everything to reset here, and then come back.

This is indeed a good plan. It completely distances itself from the issue, leaving all the risks that the old residents might cause to the control bureau, while they can simply wait for history to be reset.

And Sprite will definitely cause a stir. Xia Shou doesn't believe that such a powerful person wouldn't have any thoughts. Since he didn't go all out and let those people in history know the truth about the cycle of history, it means that he thinks he has a chance of winning.

Suddenly, Xia Shou felt a tearing pain in his arm, and Su Weiyu, who had just fallen asleep next to him, also screamed and woke up abruptly.

As soon as Su Weiyu woke up, she covered her calf and then looked at Xia Shou, asking anxiously, "Shou! Did something strange happen?"

Xia Shou saw blood slowly seeping from the spot Su Weiyu had covered. Xia Shou rolled up his sleeve and saw a row of teeth marks of varying depths on the spot where he had just felt pain, and it was bleeding.

The marks are shaped like human teeth, but the intervals between each mark are quite far apart.

Xia Shou looked at Su Weiyu, and their eyes met in mid-air, their expressions saying everything.

……

five minutes later.

Su Weiyu explained the matter clearly.

The whole thing is simple: she had just fallen asleep and dreamed about him.

It was supposed to be a normal dream, but suddenly, the monster that the Spear of the Rending King had transformed into after its death inexplicably appeared and immediately began attacking her, Xia Shou, and everyone around them. In the dream, both she and he were attacked, and then she suddenly woke up with a start, finding a deep wound on her foot, the shape and location of which corresponded to the one in the dream.

"Was I attacked in my dream too?" Xia Shou asked.

Su Weiyu nodded: "I woke up as soon as you were touched."

At this moment, Hu Ling, who was also sleeping next to her, suddenly woke up and said to Hippolyta, "Hippolyta, my back hurts a little. Can you take a look at what's wrong?"

Hippolyta lifted Hu Ling's clothes and froze when she saw the bluish-purple bruise on his back: "Where did this come from?"

"What's wrong?" Hu Ling asked.

"A bruise! The shape looks a bit like... a human foot?"

Su Weiyu's face turned pale instantly, and she whispered, "I dreamed about them too. You and I were walking on the street when Hu Ling was riding a barbecue cart with Hippolyta, selling barbecue. Then the Spear of the Rift King suddenly appeared, and Hu Ling was the first one to be attacked."

Although Xia Shou wanted to complain about Su Weiyu's dream, he still stood up and walked towards Hu Ling and the others.

He saw that there was indeed a footprint on Hu Ling's back, or more accurately, the forefoot of a person, and its shape was slightly distorted, as if the forefoot had been elongated.

"Wei Yu, do you remember how he was attacked in his dream?"

"That dog... well, let's just call it a dog for now, anyway, that thing suddenly darted out from the street, and Hu Ling, who was on the barbecue cart, was so scared that she ran away as fast as she could, only to be kicked in the back, which went straight through her back and stomach," Su Weiyu recalled.

Xia Shou looked at the wound on his hand, then at the footprint on Hu Ling's back, and thought this unusual phenomenon was a bit strange.

If someone is injured in a dream, they will also be injured in reality. This is not really strange as an unusual phenomenon.

The problem is, he was injured in Su Weiyu's dream, and he was also injured in reality!

This is fucking outrageous!

Su Weiyu's dream can be interpreted as the strange things in the dream affecting her mind and thus reflecting back into reality. But what is the relationship between Xia Shou in Su Weiyu's dream and Xia Shou in reality?
Moreover... according to her description, Hu Ling's injuries in the dream should have been much more serious than his, with his stomach being kicked through, but in reality, Hu Ling only had bruises on his back, while he had his arm bitten and bleeding.

"Damn it, so that thing's ability isn't just to materialize the injuries in the illusion into reality? Am I cursed?" Su Weiyu frowned.

Xia Shou glanced at the wound, his mind racing.

“There’s no need to worry too much. Even if we’re cursed, it will disappear once we leave this era. However, the mechanism by which this ability works is indeed very dangerous,” Xia Shou said thoughtfully.

This curse can indirectly harm others through the cursed person, just like stepping on someone's shadow and kicking them, which already ignores some common sense in the world.

As expected, the person known as the Spear of the Rending King is not so simple; even if he is killed, he will still cause considerable trouble.

Fortunately, they are in a cyclical history; otherwise, this curse would be really difficult to deal with, and it would probably only be able to be resolved by asking Idrissu.
