Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 27 I think this is fate.

117 Burningham Road, Hillston.

Fors looked nervously at the man named Ash Black in front of her.

"so."

Embers seemed to be hinting at something, "You want me to help you resolve the curse without handing you over to the Church of the Night?"

"curse?"

Fors paused for a moment, then became even more convinced that Ember could solve her problem, and nodded hastily.

All she knew was that she was suffering because of the stone bracelet.

But she didn't have a concrete answer in her heart.

However, Ember's tone suggested that he had known all along that it was a curse.

Since they know it's a curse, wouldn't it be possible that they also know how to break the curse?

"Can you do it?"

Fors asked with a hint of expectation and hope.

"I can definitely help you."

Yu Jin nodded slightly, but then countered with a question, "But why should I help you? Or rather, what price are you willing to pay?"

"I……"

Fors parted her red lips slightly, but in the end she just bit her lip, lowered her head, and fell silent.

Yes.

Why would he help himself?

He was the Night Watchman, while she was merely a wild Extraordinary who would lose control during the full moon.

He had nothing of value on his body except for that bracelet, which was now in Yu Jin's hands.

In other words.

She has no value now.

"I... I have nothing right now, and I can't pay the price you want."

Fors gave a bitter laugh, and the glimmer of hope that had been rising in his heart sank back into silence.

"No."

Yu Jin gave her a deep look and slowly said, "You still have something to offer as a price, for example, you."

"Um?!"

Noticing Ember's gaze, Fors instinctively shrank back and weakly said, "I...I won't sell my body!"

Although she said that, Fors' heart was filled with ripples.

Well.

If the curse can really be broken, then it doesn't seem like such a big deal.

It's like being poked with a stick; it won't break any flesh.

What if the other party uses this as leverage to coerce her into becoming his slave in the future?

No, no!

We absolutely cannot allow it to escalate to this point!

However, he's actually quite good-looking, so if the intention is to date him, perhaps...

Although Ember hadn't said anything yet, Fors, being a writer, had already imagined many scenes that were inappropriate for children.

"What a coincidence."

Ember said calmly, "I'm not interested in your body either, I mean you as an 'apprentice,' as an extraordinary being."

Fors breathed a sigh of relief when Ember abruptly interrupted her reverie with "not interested," as if she were glad that she had preserved her chastity, but at the same time, she felt a little resentful.

What? She's not bad looking either!

Although she can't compare to a rich heiress like Audrey, she's still a beauty that's one in a million, okay?

"But."

Fors's wild speculation didn't last long, because she still retained some rationality and asked with doubt, "Aren't you an apprentice yourself?"

"I'm the night watchman, you're not."

Ember replied casually, immediately making Fors understand his meaning.

He wanted to infiltrate the Wild Extraordinary Ones to gather information for them.

In this case.

The other side could only arrest her, but with her as an undercover agent, they might be able to arrest a whole bunch of people.

The merit of capturing a group of extraordinary individuals is certainly much greater than that of capturing a single extraordinary individual.

But wouldn't that make her a traitor among the wild extraordinary beings?

How could she possibly accept something like this?

It's impossible to refuse, isn't it?

"good!"

Fors nodded without hesitation and said sincerely, "I can become your spy among the wild extraordinary beings, but in return, you must be responsible for curing my 'curse'."

"An undercover agent?"

Ember showed a puzzled expression, but did not correct Fors' misunderstanding.

"That's settled then."

After a moment of contemplation, Ember slowly said, "I am not entirely certain that I can break your 'curse'. We can only wait until the next full moon to try."

"However, I must warn you that if I cannot break your 'curse,' I will still hand you over to the Church of the Night."

"Like I said, the Church of the Night has a wealth of experience in your situation."

Ember actually has more than one way to break the "curse" that Fors was inflicted on him.

For example, healing tears can treat abnormal conditions, and curse-breaking stones.

But those were all from the Dark Souls world, and he wasn't sure if they would work in this world.

The experiment will be conducted when the moon is full.

If that doesn't work, then we'll have to send them to the Church of the Night.

The Church of the Night does indeed have extensive experience in this area.

For example, Neil.

Well, although Old Neil is still locked up, he should be fine by now... right?

"A full moon?"

Fors didn't really care about what Ember said, and nodded silently, but her eyes were a little complicated. She said in a low voice, "The next full moon is next Wednesday."

"Next Wednesday? That means July 25th."

After confirming the time, Yu Jin nodded slightly. "Okay, next Wednesday then, still here, is that alright?"

"Uh-huh."

Fors nodded hurriedly, then said weakly, "Then, my bracelet..."

I'll keep it for you for now.

Ember gazed into Fors's pale blue eyes, which held a hint of expectation, and said softly.

Fors lowered his head in disappointment.

That makes sense. How could the other party so easily return something so important to her?

just.

Now that he had been captured by this guy who called himself the Night Watchman, his personal freedom would likely be restricted.

Although the man said things like "I'm not interested in her body," who knows if he might do something to her under the guise of surveillance?

She didn't care; she just treated it as being poked with a stick.

just.

She is now somewhat worried about what to do about Hugh.

Although he had already reached an agreement with Viscount Grelint, given the latter's desire for potions, he was unlikely to break the agreement.

But if he can't show up himself, it's also a question whether Xiu can be rescued successfully.

Thinking about this, Fors became somewhat worried.

"Can I...?"

Fors gritted his teeth and raised his head, wanting to make an additional request to the night watchman in front of him.

However, when she found the living room empty, she couldn't help but blink her light blue eyes.

gone?

They just left like that?

Don't we even need to monitor her?

"Fors Wall, the magician?"

On the streets of Hillston, Ember silently murmured Fors's name.

Like "The Fool" and "Justice," this name also sounded somewhat familiar to him.

But as always, he couldn't remember anything, which had become commonplace for him.

However, the reason why Fors became an informant was not because he was soft-hearted.

Undead don't have that kind of thing.

He simply wanted to expand his intelligence network.

Although he has an intelligence network provided by the Church of the Night, and the Church of the Night is currently considered an ally.

However, this "friendly forces" is not absolute.

Since the Church of the Night gave the Black Emperor a hint, it means they clearly know more.

The Church of the Night chose to be the riddle tellers.

At the same time, they gave Ember more hints, instructing him to gather intelligence through the gathering.

However, for now, this tip doesn't seem to be of much use.

Whether it's the night watchmen or the so-called gatherings, they are all just low-level circles and have no chance of getting access to the Black Emperor's intelligence.

of course.

Ember knew very well that the Church of the Night had no obligation to tell him everything.

If he wants to know more information, he will inevitably need to complete some tasks for the Church of the Night.

This is also part of the equivalent exchange.

Although Ember was not prepared to antagonize the Church of the Night, it could do so if the Church of the Night could not provide any valuable clues.

Yu Jin felt it was necessary to prepare for both scenarios and secretly gather intelligence.

And it just so happened that Fors, someone who seemed somewhat familiar to him, came to him at that very moment.

can only say.

This is perhaps a kind of fate.
