The King of Curses

Chapter 107 Night of Chaos
"Hongchen Zhiyin" KTV.

Second floor, VIP room one.

Through the corridor and the heavy door of the box, you can still faintly hear the rumbling music coming from next door. The disco ball hanging from the ceiling is spinning and glowing, casting mottled and gorgeous light and shadows on the ground.

There is a small dance floor in the middle area of ​​the lighted box, and a sumptuous fruit plate is placed on the table next to it.

In the dim light in the room, the faces of the young men and women were filled with excitement of hanging out with friends.

"What song are you going to choose?"

"Choose for yourself, sing whatever you want."

"Do we have a microphone master here? Let's sing a song to warm up our voice."

"Stupid, at a time like this the birthday boy should definitely come first."

"That's right!"

Encouraged by people around him, Sui Zhiyong picked up the microphone with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll sing one first!"

"Oh!"

……

"Dongsheng, did you see it?"

In the corner, Liu Chengkui looked a little nervous, but also with a little barely perceptible excitement, as he stared at a girl sitting on the sofa opposite him.

This VIP room can accommodate twelve people in total. The birthday boy Sui Zhiyong and his close friends are all here, so there are only a few empty seats.

Cen Dongsheng himself certainly had no intention of squeezing in, but that girl was in this small group, so Liu Chengkui seized the opportunity and pulled his two roommates to squeeze in when the private rooms were being allocated. In order to get close to the girl he had a crush on, he rarely showed some cleverness.

"Oh~ That's her."

Liu Chengkui pointed several times before Cen Dongsheng saw the man.

Compared with her peers who were dressed up, this girl looked inconspicuous. She was dressed simply, had a large frame, a round face, and pigtails.

"do you know her?"

Cen Dongsheng asked another roommate beside him.

"...I don't know him." Wang Tao shook his head. "But the girls around her know him."

"is it?"

"Yes, this is Dong Chuchu from the Finance Department, that is Liu Yin from our Psychology Department, and the one next to him...what's his name? His surname is Zhang, and I think he's from the School of International Relations."

"You are so familiar with girls from other departments?"

Liu Chengkui looked shocked.

"I can't tell."

Wang Tao was born in the countryside. He was the only one in his area who was admitted to a key university. His personality was as simple as his appearance. His roommates all knew this, so his performance at this time was very unexpected.

"I, I sometimes go to the BBS to check..."

He was a little embarrassed.

Those well-known universities in China that have been established for some time all have their own on-campus forums with a strong forum atmosphere. Tianhai University is no exception.

"What does this have to do with the school forum? Are these girls the 'school beauties'? They don't look good enough. Besides..." Liu Chengkui couldn't help laughing when he said this, "There are no school beauties in our school."

There are girls who are very beautiful, and there are also students who are famous in the college and even in other colleges, such as the host of the school anniversary party, or Sui Zhiyong who drove a sports car to the dormitory building with great fanfare on the first day of school. There are also those who have a certain degree of fame on the Internet because of their outstanding looks and whose videos have been taken and uploaded to the Internet... But there is really no ranking of campus beauties.

"No, it's that post!" Wang Tao explained eagerly, "It said that the playboy Sui Zhiyong had several affairs..."

Liu Chengkui quickly covered his mouth and looked at Sui Zhiyong who was sitting opposite him. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to notice this side, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are stupid." Liu Chengkui complained unhappily, "How can you say this in front of others?"

"Sorry..." Wang Tao knew he had said something wrong, so he lowered his voice and said, "It was the most popular post on the BBS a while ago. It was written by a girl, saying that Sui Zhiyong, a freshman in the Department of Psychology of the School of Social Politics, was a scumbag who had multiple relationships at the same time. She asked the girls to open their eyes and named the girls who had relationships with him."

“Although they are all pseudonyms, the comments below have guessed their real names, and some have even posted photos.”

Wang Tao took out his mobile phone and opened the forum page to show his roommates.
Liu Chengkui couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he took the phone and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, he felt relieved for no apparent reason.

"what happened?"

"...at least there's no Shao Jiayu."

"Shao Jiayu?" Wang Tao nodded in realization, "Oh, that's the person you have a crush on..."

He didn't say anything else, but from his expression, you can tell that he was probably thinking, "If he's really a playboy, he might not even like her."

Liu Chengkui could see that he was not angry, he just sighed.

"You don't understand." His tone deepened, "Girls can't just be judged by their looks, the most important thing is their character. As the saying goes, 'Marry a virtuous woman', whether she is pretty or not is only secondary."

Cen Dongsheng and Wang Tao looked at each other.

"No, are you serious? Do you know what kind of personality she has?" This time it was Cen Dongsheng who couldn't help but complain, "From your reaction just now, I guess you don't even know if she has a boyfriend."

"Of course I know."

Liu Chengkui looked serious.

"She and I are in the same club, and you can tell from her daily behavior. Once when I fell while playing ball, she helped me to the infirmary, cleaned my wound, and put a band-aid on it."

"…So you've fallen in love with her?"

"That's right! Even though she's bigger than the average girl, she actually has a gentle heart, just like, just like..."

“Like?”

“——Just like Nuan Yangyang in Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.”

This time Cen Dongsheng really couldn't hold it in anymore, and Wang Tao next to him burst out laughing.

"Besides, girls from the Sports Academy naturally have their advantages. I've seen those girls who studied long-distance running in high school. Although they can't be said to be very pretty, but..."

Liu Chengkui's expression suddenly changed from serious to somewhat vulgar.

"They all have healthy and beautiful bodies, muscles, and long legs..."

Cen Dongsheng sighed.

Of course, being athletic is good, but it is best to have certain but not exaggerated muscle curves, which will make people look muscular.

Speaking of this type of girl, the first person he thought of was Song Yutang.

However, she is obviously different from Shao Jiayu who looks a bit "crude and rough". The cover girl not only has an outstanding figure, but also a beautiful face. She is a top beauty that conforms to the public's aesthetic taste, otherwise she would not have been selected by the association.

That's the Chinese Forbidden Teachers Association, the face of the Chinese region. In terms of appearance and quality alone, the cover girl is not inferior to anyone. If Tianhai University really had a campus beauty contest, she would either be first or second.

...So, Song Yutang should be quite famous in school?

Cen Dongsheng touched his chin. He thought that if he just asked a few people here, he might find out something about her.

But towards contestant Song Yutang, Cen Dongsheng's attitude can only be described as a bit subtle. After all, his ideas in this regard are still relatively realistic.

Song Yutang possessed a Class A fate ban, and was one of the famous "Sixty-Four Symbols". Throughout history, people with this fate have left their names in history - in fact, it was quite remarkable. The problem was that after meeting two future "ancestors" in succession and obtaining a special curse ban, Cen Dongsheng's horizons had become too high;
The number of teammates he needs is not many, which is a common practice in the world of curse masters. It is also most appropriate to follow the "number of three", and a group of three can exert their full strength.

...Of course, even if we can't be teammates, it's good to be friends.

But there was no rush to come over. After all, he was the one who saved the people. If Song Yutang knew how to repay a favor, he should have taken the initiative to come over.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that he suddenly fell silent for a while, Liu Chengkui couldn't help but ask.

"...I think you're right," he replied.

Athleticism is one thing, but appearance is another.

Some people have different aesthetic tastes, which is not surprising. But judging from Liu Chengkui's reaction when he saw Yi Qingyan, his aesthetic taste is still normal... Maybe he thinks that pursuing a girl with ordinary looks like Shao Jiayu has a better chance.

"Okay, now the target is there, what are you going to do? You want your brothers to be your wingmen, fine, but there has to be a rule."

"it is good!"

Liu Chengkui was overjoyed and patted his two roommates on the shoulders.

"As long as it's done, I'll be your son for life... for one semester! If you point east, I'll never go west!"

"I'm your grandfather, don't mess up the generations."

Cen Dongsheng cursed with a smile. He was gradually regaining the feeling of being a college student.

"Okay, okay, it's all right. Whatever you say is fine."

Liu Chengkui's plan was very simple. Everyone had the opportunity to go up and request songs anyway. He would just wait for someone to finish singing and then request a duet love song, and hand the microphone to the girl, and he would follow immediately.

This was an opportunity. As long as they could chat smoothly, he would sit down next to her. This shouldn't be difficult, after all, Shao Jiayu knew his face.

"I prepared a bunch of chat topics last night, all of which I searched online. They will definitely come in handy next time."

Liu Chengkui clenched his fist, full of confidence.

……

Cen Dongsheng went up as planned, selected a love song with the song selector, and then casually handed the microphone to the girl named Shao Jiayu. The whole process went smoothly.

If he were an ordinary male college student, he might have been exposed out of nervousness, but he really didn't care about such trivial matters and behaved very naturally.

Shao Jiayu was a little at a loss at first. Seeing that a man and a woman were singing a love song on TV, she subconsciously looked at the boys on her side - Sui Zhiyong and his friends. But at this time Liu Chengkui had already picked up another microphone.

At this time, some of Shao Jiayu's friends started to make a noise, which was considered to be an unintentional help, and the two of them soon started singing.

Liu Chengkui had obviously prepared carefully and sang very seriously. Cen Dongsheng clapped his hands on the side. After he finished singing, he pretended to sit on the sofa here casually.

……

"It seems like we had a good chat?"

Cen Dongsheng returned to the corner and saw Wang Tao staring at his friend with a somewhat envious expression on his face.

"Yeah, a wingman can do it, so you don't have to go up."

Cen Dongsheng made a joke.

"You will have another son in the future."

"...You are quite impressive. You didn't show any fear at all just now."

"What's there to be afraid of? Isn't it a small matter?"

"I'm a little scared. I'm afraid of losing face in front of others."

Cen Dongsheng thought for a moment and said:
"How about you try to find a girlfriend?" He pointed at Liu Chengkui, "Like Chengkui, maybe you can muster up the courage."

"Dating...it's a waste of money and time. It's not suitable for me."

Wang Tao answered with a wry smile.

"My family hopes that after I get into a good university, I can continue to study hard and find a good job in the future."

"That's right. The future is more important."

Cen Dongsheng patted his roommate's shoulder to comfort him.

After a while, his cell phone rang. He took it out and took a look at it, then stood up, saying "I'm going to the bathroom," and pushed the door open to leave the room.

……

From the rooms on both sides of the corridor, people's laughter and rumbling background music could be heard.

Through the thick soundproof walls, the hazy singing sounded as if it came from a distant place.

Cen Dongsheng came to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and splashed his face with the running cold water. It was very quiet here, and when he was alone, looking at himself in the mirror, it was like being in another world.

He wiped his hands, turned on his phone and dialed the number.

"Hey, Sister Zhizhen."

"Dongsheng, how was your time with your classmates?"

A woman's smiling voice came from the phone.

This sounds like a parent...

"Okay."

Cen Dongsheng replied casually and got straight to the point.

"How is it, do you know anything?"

On his way here, he sent a text message to Sister Zhizhen to report what he encountered in the Hongchen Bar.

It would be a shame if such a great philosopher king didn't report anything when something happened.

Considering that Sister Zhizhen has already begun to establish cooperation with the government, telling her is equivalent to reporting to the authorities; in a few years, when the ruling bureau is established, she will be a genuine official symbol.

Besides, this wouldn't be a big deal for Sister Zhizhen, because she was in great need of information related to curse masters or ghosts, and this was part of their cooperation.

"I have already found some information about the Red Dust Inn. The owner is Guo Cui'e, and there is no record of her communicating with other known curse-master groups or organizations. But since you said so, she is most likely a folk curse-master who is hiding her identity."

Sister Zhizhen’s efficiency is still as high as ever.

"As for those weirdos you mentioned, I have no idea. There is no information about them in the Tianhai City police files. Logically speaking, such an outspoken style would easily leave traces. Perhaps they are outsiders who have recently arrived in Tianhai City."

"Yeah. There are too few clues at the moment. Maybe we need to find someone to test it out."

Cen Dongsheng answered.

"Be careful not to alert the enemy."

"Okay, I'll take action depending on the situation."

"In addition, Sui Zhiyong's identity is the second son of the founder of Aurora Technology. It is unclear whether he is related to the Curse Master..."

As he was speaking, Cen Dongsheng heard footsteps coming from behind him.

He raised his head and looked at the reflection of a figure wearing a black windbreaker in the mirror.

The other party took off his hat, revealing a pale bald head. His face was covered with hideous tattoos. Those were crooked tadpole-shaped characters. His gray pupils were permeated with an inhuman cold luster.

This person stood silently a few steps behind him.

Cen Dongsheng smiled and said softly to the person on the other end of the phone:

"Wait a moment, Sister Zhizhen, I have new information..."

As he was speaking, the bald man suddenly raised his hand and reached towards his neck!

Cen Dongsheng had no intention of dodging at all, but instead grinned at himself in the mirror.

"boom!"

He held the phone steadily, his palm did not shake at all, but his body was spinning like a top at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye. He moved behind the bald man who was planning to launch a sneak attack, and the positions of the two men were switched. In the next breath, the bald man involuntarily crashed into the mirror in front of him, broken glass and concrete fragments flew everywhere, and his entire head was slapped into the wall by Cen Dongsheng.

“…I’ll share it with you right away,” he said.
