Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 518 Curse
Chuck crossed his arms and thought for a moment: "Let's ask the organization for help. You can prove to me that I'm in trouble in Thousand Flower City and need the organization's support."

Then use the organization's resources to give Peng Yuan a new identity, at least that way..."

"No need for support, you can stay here in peace."

A third party's voice rang out in the office.

Swish!
In the blink of an eye, Chuck pushed off the ground with both feet, jumped sideways, and flipped behind the sofa.

Although sofas don't offer much protection, they can still obstruct the other party's view if they don't have other means of sensing.

The two followed the sound and looked at the glass window behind the desk.

Click.

The tempered glass made a slight crackling sound, and obvious scratches appeared on its surface, as if a glass cutter was cutting into it.

The glass panel, cut off by telekinesis, slowly moved to the side, creating an entrance that was one meter wide and two meters high.

Hey.

Ai Liang landed from mid-air, revealing her figure, and then threw the unconscious Peng Yuan to the ground.

The moment Ai Liang appeared, Chuck recognized who it was and immediately became extremely alert.

Without saying a word, he immediately used the emergency communication system within his body to send a signal to the Haixin Society.

Out of consideration for Peng Yuan's status as a potential fusion warrior, Hai Xin will at least contact the Countermeasures Bureau to offer some assistance.

According to Chuck's investigation, Ai Liang is from Neva City and only recently started attending school in Thousand Flower City.

So he only conducted the most basic identity investigation and didn't dig any deeper.

But now anyone who isn't blind can see that Ai Liang is clearly not simple.

Whether he's from the Asian Union's Countermeasures Bureau or some other organization, he's definitely up to no good.

It can carry a person and fly invisibly, directly flying up to a building tens of meters high, and when cutting glass, it also exhibits some kind of invisible attack method.

Furthermore, it was able to withstand the mental attacks launched by Peng Yuan using strange objects...

Peng Yuan may be a novice, but his adaptability to the supernatural is undeniable. He doesn't need to worry about the negative effects of ordinary supernatural objects and can directly maximize their abilities.

This is like someone who is a terrible shot but is using a heavy machine gun to fire.

No matter how low the operator's skill level is, the mental attack caused by violently driving a strange object should not be underestimated.

Even so, Peng Yuan still failed.

Therefore, it can be inferred that even if Ai Liang is not a fusion warrior, he is among the top-tier among the strange beings.

Chuck felt that his chances of winning were probably not very high.

He took a deep breath and came out from behind the sofa.

There's no point in hiding in this situation; it's better to stand up and make things clear.

If you ask what's the point... at least it makes dying more impressive.

Chuck kept a tight face, not letting himself show any expression: "Who exactly are you?"

Ai Liang didn't speak, but instead squinted and sized up Chuck.

Ai Liang remained silent, and Chuck dared not ask any more questions. People with strange powers all had some kind of mental problem.

If you annoy people with your questions, wouldn't you die a very unjust death?

Time ticked by, and the standoff that lasted less than three minutes felt like an eternity to Chuck.

Finally, Ai Liang looked away and sat down on the sofa.

Seeing that Ai Liang was willing to negotiate, Chuck and President Ao Xi finally felt relieved.

The kind of people who aren't afraid of you making demands are afraid of you not making any demands.

Chuck sat down opposite Ai Liang: "Peng Yuan was wrong. Just tell us what compensation you want, and we will do our best to meet it."

Chuck's attitude was very sincere, as if he wasn't the one who lent Peng Yuan the strange object and provided Ai Liang's information.

Ai Liang was not interested in Chuck's eagerness to define the incident and shift the blame to Peng Yuan.

He began, "Tell me about the DX818A, and about that thing in your bodies that protects your spirit."

Before Chuck could react, President Ao Xi, who was sitting next to him, had a drastic change in expression.

Chuck's heart tightened, and he stared intently at Ai Liang: "You're not from the Countermeasures Bureau?"

Influenced by the Thousand-Faced Man, people with mental abilities are more feared than those with other abilities, no matter where they go.

This is even more evident in the members of the Sea Heart Society who are bound by curses within their bodies.

Ai Liang's words revealed a lot of information.

The armored protection of the Asian Union Countermeasures Bureau, the cost transfer of the European Union Special Bureau, and the curse of the Sea Heart Society.

These are all defensive measures specifically developed to prevent the mental invasion of the Thousand-Faced Man.

Although the Hai Xin Society's overall strength is the weakest among the three forces, their curse binding is the most versatile, lowest-cost, and most effective protective measure.

How cheap is it?

Every official member who joins the Sea Heart Society receives a curse.

Let's set aside the issue of mental resistance brought about by the curse.

The most crucial thing is the curse, which can effectively prevent the leakage of secrets.

Members of the Sea Heart Society who are bound by a curse have memories of the Sea Heart Society that do not belong to them.

If we compare human memory to a computer folder, then curses are the cloud.

The strange object called Curse stores the memories of all members of the Sea Heart Society. The person in question only has the right to browse the memories; in reality, there is no relevant information in their own mind.

To gain intelligence by infiltrating the minds of members of the Sea Heart Society, no matter how insignificant the information may be, as long as it is related to the Sea Heart Society, you must directly break through the defenses of an Apostle-level supernatural entity.

You can think of it as a clone mask that removes side effects and download skills, while strengthening security and protection.

It's hard to say whether the inventor of the cursed bondage system drew inspiration from the mask system of the Thousand Faces when creating it.

As the signature ability of the Sea Heart Society, the use of the Curse Binding ability is well understood by those in the Countermeasures Bureau and the Special Affairs Bureau, not to mention the smaller factions.

It's truly incomprehensible that Ai Liang would ask such a question after seeing the curses binding them.

Unless he's not from the Countermeasures Bureau or the Special Affairs Bureau.

As someone who has read the memories of Gao Bin, 1208, and 1209, Ai Liang is naturally aware of the existence of the curse.

However, he was not without any means of dealing with it.

The protection of the curse is indeed the strongest mental protection method that Ai Liang has ever seen, but this protection is relative to ordinary people.

No matter how strong the curse is, there is a limit.

In the face of a mental ability user who is at least at the Apostle level, the only thing that Curse can do is destroy all the memories in the person's mind.

Just like those mask users whose memories have been erased.

Before entering the office, Ai Liang had silently sealed off the entire area and invaded Chuck's brain.

Upon detecting the intrusion, the curse immediately locked down the memories trapped in Chuck's mind and activated its destruction mode.

If Ai Liang hadn't forcibly stopped the process, what we would be seeing now would be a bunch of babbling chak.
