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

Chapter 38 My House Is Quite Big

Why were you just staring?

After confirming his friend's safety, he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, looked directly into Yu Jin's eyes, and asked through gritted teeth.

Ember could have released that spell much faster, sparing Fors from suffering that pain and torment.

But he only watched, and only intervened after Fors had been tortured.

Although Hugh knew that it was Fors who saved him, he knew he had no right to question him.

But people are not always entirely governed by reason, especially women.

"Because I need to confirm her state while she was talking in her sleep."

Despite his small stature, Hugh exuded an air of authority as he questioned him, Ember remained calm. "As it turns out, I didn't waste any time. Fors is perfectly fine, almost brand new. And if my miracle hadn't worked, then even if I had released it a few seconds earlier, it wouldn't have mattered."

"But……"

"stop."

Fors grabbed Hugh, who was still trying to argue, and whispered, "There's no need to say anything more. He's right."

As an official extraordinary being, it is Yu Jin's duty not to help, but it is a favor to help.

After all, he could have arrested himself a few days ago instead of taking this risk to undergo treatment.

They already owe Yu Jin a favor, so they shouldn't be criticized anymore.

After all, the "curse" on her wasn't inflicted by Ember.

"Fors".

Xiu looked back at his friend, pursed his lips somewhat unwillingly, and ultimately did not continue arguing with Yu Jin.

She understood the same principles that Fors understood, but even knowing this, she still felt somewhat resentful.

"Feel sorry."

Hugh took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I was a little out of line just now, I hope you don't mind."

"It's okay."

Yu Jin glanced at the two of them with surprise, and said in a calm tone, "I thought you would rush up and punch me, or at the very least yell and throw a tantrum. The fact that you only talked back a couple of times means that your emotions are relatively stable, or rather, that you have been restrained enough."

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Xiu gritted her teeth, wishing she could bite him.

It's hardened, its fists are hardened!

"Five minutes are up."

Yu Jin suddenly spoke up, "Is there anything else wrong with your body?"

"no."

Fors closed her eyes and felt it for a moment, then whispered, "I feel great, better than ever before, on a full moon night."

"Very good."

I breathed a sigh of relief, genuinely happy that my friend had been redeemed.

Don't be so happy yet.

Ember looked at the two of them expressionlessly. "Although I can perform a treatment for you regularly during the full moon every month, what if it's a blood moon?"

Fors and Hugh's expressions froze simultaneously.

The full moon follows a pattern, appearing only on a fixed one or two days each month.

And if you're lucky enough to happen to be on a rainy day, the moon might not even show its face.

But a blood moon is different.

The blood moon appears suddenly and is completely unpredictable; it often appears in the sky in just one or two seconds.

And this means...

Once a blood moon occurs, the embers are unable to provide timely assistance.

"Can't you completely lift the curse on her?"

Hugh glanced at Fors with some worry and asked in a pleading tone.

"I'm sorry, no."

Yu Jin shook his head under Xiu's expectant gaze, causing the expectation in the girl's eyes to gradually turn into disappointment.

In fact, this wasn't an excuse; Yu Jin genuinely didn't have any good solutions.

Although healing tears can theoretically cure all abnormal conditions.

However, the delirium that the other party suffered already falls into the category of "curse".

Healing tears can cure the abnormal state caused by the 'curse', namely the delirium during the full moon.

But it cannot eradicate the curse.

To put it bluntly, it's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

In fact, in Yu Jin's memory, he remembered that he should have some kind of miracle that could cure the root cause.

Unfortunately.

He had completely forgotten what kind of miracle it was.

"It doesn't matter, isn't it fine this way?"

Fors, on the contrary, was more optimistic than Hugh, waving his hand and saying, "Just like Emperor Roselle said, let's take it one step at a time. At least we're not going to die now, are we?"

"Besides, blood moons don't appear so easily. They've already appeared twice this year; surely it won't happen a third time so soon, right? No way, no way?"

In the end, Fors laughed at herself, but Hugh's expression remained serious.

She didn't know how severe Fors's torment during the full moon was before, but now that she had witnessed Fors's unbearable pain, she could no longer let it go.

During the full moon, you can contact Ember in advance for help.

Even though Ember was willing to go to great lengths to treat Fors, he ultimately couldn't stay by Fors's side forever.

"etc!"

Suddenly, an idea struck Hugh. He looked up at Ember, a strange light in his eyes, and asked, "Ember, where is your home?"

"The Church of the Night".

Yu Jin gave her a strange look and replied.

"I know you're on night watch."

Hugh gestured with his hands, trying to explain to Ember, "I mean, where do you live now?"

"The Church of the Night, St. Samuel's Cathedral."

"..."

Looking at the expressionless Yu Jin, the words he wanted to say suddenly stuck in his throat.

Even if he is a night watchman, isn't it a bit strange that he lives in the Church of the Night?

However, according to information from Viscount Grelint, Ember must have only recently arrived in the capital.

So, is it because they just arrived in Backlund and haven't found a place to stay yet, so they can only stay in the church temporarily?

Or is there some special reason?

"Why are you living in a church? Is there some special reason?"

Fors asked with some surprise, then added, "If it's classified, it's okay not to say."

"No, there's no special reason."

Yu Jin shook his head and said slowly, "It just so happens that I know the bishop of the Church of the Night, and he invited me to stay there for a while."

"That's perfect!"

Before Fors could speak, Hugh's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Since you have nowhere to stay, why don't you stay here? Our place is quite big, and we won't charge you rent!"

"A house of this size and location would cost at least a hundred pounds a year to rent out!"

"If you live here, you can save a full 100 pounds a year!"

"Um?"

Yu Jin looked at Xiu with some surprise, not understanding why this girl, who had just been full of hostility, had suddenly become so attentive.

It was as if they couldn't wait to invite him to stay.

One hundred pounds.

Yu Jin couldn't help but sigh softly.

That was his entire week's salary.

But after thinking it over, Yu Jin nodded slightly.

"It's not impossible."

For him, it doesn't matter where he lives.

There were no campfires anywhere anyway.
