The King of Curses

Chapter 195 "The time has come."

"You have to tell me what you want to do, so that I can consider whether to follow you."

The remaining few people are all fools, especially that Wang Daoren, who looks like a veteran.

"It's not that I look down on you. The Jiang family is so small that it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot if you want to stop the Chao Working Committee from doing its work."

Jiang Zihao laughed awkwardly.

"We are not necessarily fighting. We may just want to negotiate with the Super Working Committee, so we need to contact various forces."

"A meaning."

Cen Dongsheng shook his head.

"Or do you think that with just a few of us, you are qualified to sit at the same negotiating table with the Super Working Committee?"

Although the young man's words were blunt and he didn't give anyone any face, he always included himself in his words, which made him seem sincere and heartfelt.

He is putting himself into the mindset of this group of people.

If he wants to rebel against his elder sister and go against her current power, what should he do?

The answer is of course... nothing can be done. Unless he carries an Equality King with him to overturn the table at any time, he has no chance of winning.

But putting the matter of "Tiankui Quanshou" aside for now, the current spell-binding masters cannot imagine the existence of such a monster as a special-class spell-binding master. In their eyes, the leader of the Super Working Committee is just a mysterious and powerful spell-binding master.

From this perspective, he can make seemingly reasonable suggestions.

Jiang Zihao looked at him deeply and his expression became serious.

"You are so anxious."

"If this were done in ancient times, it would be like tying your head to your belt."

"I understand, so please don't worry. I will introduce you to some important people who can really make decisions."

He nodded to Cen Dongsheng, then put down his wine glass and left in a hurry.

……

Jiang Yunmei, who had been watching this side, walked slowly to his side.

"He seems to have been convinced by Teacher Cen."

"I just wish he would stop wasting everyone's time."

Cen Dongsheng shrugged.

In the past, he would worry about alerting the enemy, but now...

"Yun Mei, help me keep an eye on him."

He didn't have to worry about not getting any intelligence.

"I want the most specific information about where he went and who he planned to communicate with."

"Yes."

Jiang Yunmei agreed and looked intently at the place where Jiang Zihao left.

……

Cen Dongsheng could see clearly that among this group of spell-binding masters who were summoned, except Zhuo Jing who had obeyed her boyfriend from the very beginning, and the person from the Super Working Committee, the rest were civilians.

This group of people are not bad people in terms of personality, but they are incompatible with today's ordinary society. Once they are used by people with ulterior motives, they will become enemies of the existing order.

Jiang Zihao - no matter what he had in mind, at least he always spoke for his "fellow curse masters", just like Shi Zhishang, a young man who originally disagreed with going against the authorities but was emotionally persuaded by his "fellow kind", and gradually showed signs of being persuaded.

"This is indeed what happens in this era... I really came to the right party."

Cen Dongsheng thought.

The vast majority of spell-binding masters in this world have become the "privileged class" for the first time, and the social order has not yet completed the adaptive transformation.

Cen Dongsheng believes that someone can guide public opinion correctly; but he is becoming more and more certain about his prediction that "this fight is bound to happen."

Because he understood one thing: the more correct the truth is, the more force it requires to ensure that people sit down and listen.

Cen Dongsheng turned the wine glass in his hand and noticed that the girl's eyes were unconsciously looking upstairs.

"Up there?"

*
Jiang Zihao walked to the quieter second floor, where there was not even a waiter, and saw Zhuo Jing just walked out of the room.

"Have the distinguished guests arrived yet?"

Seeing that his girlfriend's dark yellow face seemed to have turned a little pale as if she was frightened, he asked with concern.

"Just arrived."

Zhuo Jing held his hand worriedly.

"You, you have to be careful, or I'll do it..."

"They are guests of the Jiang family, and I must receive them."

Jiang Zihao shook his head.

"In front of these two adults, the power of a second-class spell master is nothing. I have the power of my ancestors to protect me. I am safer than you."

After his girlfriend left, Jiang Zihao took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and pushed the door open.

……

In a luxurious room decorated in bright red, a thin middle-aged foreign man was sitting on a chair, shaking a wine glass in his hand. His skin was abnormally pale, just like the legendary vampire.

He looked at the liquid in the cup, which was emitting a scarlet color under the illumination of the chandelier, with an intoxicated look on his face; and at his feet, lay a naked body, with fresh skin but no blood at all, as if all the blood in the body had been drained, and the room was filled with a strong smell of blood.

There was another figure standing in the corner. It was unclear whether it was a man or a woman. He was covered in a black robe. Under the light, countless subtle outlines could be vaguely seen.

"Jiang family boy, you are here."

The middle-aged man with a vampire-like appearance was playing with the wine glass in his hand, with an evil light flashing in his triangular eyes.

"By the way, what's your name?"

Just as Jiang Zihao was about to give his name, he heard the other party say, "Forget it, it's not important." He quickly lowered his head and closed his mouth.

He knew the other person's character very well. He didn't look like a vampire, he was one. And the "vampire" that only appeared in horror stories -

It only looks like a human on the surface, but in fact it is a beast that eats raw meat and drinks blood. It feeds on the flesh and blood of living people every day. It has a human mind and uses human language, but regards humans as food. It thinks it is a superior inhuman being.

But his power was too evil and powerful, and no one in the entire Jiang family could fight against him.

"There are five second-class forbidden spell masters coming this time, right?"

The vampire stretched out his thin knuckles and poked the corpse next to him. The cold, soft flesh quickly turned black, like burnt remains, and turned into ashes.

"Great, I can't wait to taste their blood."

He licked his lips, and his long red tongue flashed in the light.

"My beloved pets also need the blood of the Curse Master."

At this time, the figure in black robe also spoke. His voice was hoarse and strange, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. It was like the rustling of countless insects combined together, which was creepy.

Jiang Zihao had the "fortune" to witness with his own eyes the appearance under the black robe, which was covered in dense flying insects, like a rotting corpse... In terms of horror, it was even more terrifying than a vampire.

Sometimes, he would doubt whether these two guests were really curse-masters. How were they different from ghosts with their appearance that was neither human nor ghost?

But no matter how ugly they look, their strength as top-class curse masters is real.

Jiang Zihao couldn't afford to offend these two guests, so he could only shut his mouth obediently and listen to their orders.

——Yes, the people he had a passionate conversation with and sincerely invited in the small garden just now were not guests at all.

The Jiang family only had two guests to receive. The curse masters who were recruited by the family members were actually carefully selected sacrifices. Including the dozens of people gathered in the banquet hall, they were just snacks in the eyes of the two.

It’s just that the more powerful the spellcaster, the higher their “nutritional value” in the eyes of the sorcerer, so he targeted those five people first.

"Why don't you leave? Do you have something to say?"

The vampire's cold gaze made Jiang Zihao shiver. He quickly knelt down, his forehead pressed against the ground, and explained loudly:

"One of these five people is a traitor from the Super Working Committee. He has important information that he hasn't shared yet. Please spare him..."

"Oh, keep it then."

The vampire looked nonchalant.

"Thank you both for your generosity..."

"But you're not going to plead for your girlfriend."

"I……"

Jiang Zihao didn't dare to look up, cold sweat broke out on his body.

"……I can not."

"Haha, how cruel." The vampire laughed. "As expected of the descendant of that immortal old man."

In front of Wang Daoren, Jiang Zihao made a promise that "the Jiang family will never fall into collusion with the evil people" -

This is of course nonsense.

For example, these two so-called "real guests" are all sorcerers without exception.

But Wang Daoren got one thing wrong. The family did not become so corrupt in his hands. Instead, it had been inseparable from some terrifying evil force from the very beginning.

——The entire Jiang family are descendants of a sorcerer.

"Well, go on and entertain your guests, and don't let them get suspicious."

"Yes Yes."

……

After Jiang Zihao left, the vampire snapped his fingers and turned off the lights in the room.

"Well, it's time for us to have a chat."

The man in black robe replied hoarsely:
“Not everyone has arrived yet.”

"They can't come. The old immortal hasn't crawled out of his ancestral grave yet. The Master of Humanity is hiding in a remote mountain. He finally gathered a group of believers, but before he could accomplish anything, they were wiped out by the people of the Super Working Committee. He dared not show his head anymore."

The vampire laughed strangely. He looked like a foreigner, but he spoke fluent Chinese with a local accent.

"They are all useless trash. The only two of us who can be of use are brothers like us."

"...That's right." The man in black robe said, "The Jiang family is willing to obey, but unfortunately they are too weak. If we want to deal with the authorities, these few people are useless."

"I'm afraid someone has sucked all the nutrients out of their own offspring."

After playing a vicious joke on his accomplice, the vampire said in a low voice.

"All the guys I know are ready to make a move, but no one dares to take the lead. They are all fools who are short-sighted and worried about being taken advantage of by others."

The vampire didn't care that he was also included in the category of "idiots". He certainly knew what kind of people the so-called "sorcerers" were.

"Whether to flee or fight, we must make a decision as soon as possible. If we want to resist after the authorities actually take action, it will be too passive."

The man in black robe said.

"…But if we really want to stop the 'cutting down of mountains and destroying temples', we have to find a way to deal with Advisor An."

Different from the second-class spellcasters, the two sorcerers obviously have a higher vision. They are well aware of the overall strength of the Super Working Committee and have even heard of the name of the Super Working Committee's boss.

The mysterious woman known as "Advisor An"——

Unfathomable, no one knows her abilities.

But even the traitor recruited by the Jiang family, a man who was known to be cold-blooded and ruthless at first glance, could not help but tremble when he heard this name.

The sorcerers are far smaller in size than the special operations team of the Super Working Committee. Moreover, they are not united and are wary of each other. If they come into direct conflict with the authorities, they will surely collapse at the first blow.

But they are sorcerers, not soldiers. As first-class spellcasters, the vampires and the black-robed men are strong enough to come and go freely on the battlefield. Even if the Super Working Committee has spellcasters of the same level, they cannot stay.

Therefore, the only question they were worried about was whether there really were spell-binding masters in this world who were far superior to the “A-grade” ones?
If she took action, would they still have a chance of survival?

"I have heard of 'Advisor An', but I only know that she is a woman."

The vampire's tone was full of doubt.

"Is she really that powerful? I heard that no one has ever seen her take action."

"But the fact is that more than one top-ranking spell-forbidden master has fallen at her hands, and there are also people who are willing to be her dogs."

The man in black robe sighed softly.

"Now the world is changing drastically. It is the time when dragons and snakes rise from the land and heroes rise... I have lived for two hundred years and have seen those who are favored by destiny. They can never be defeated. If I want to live a few more years, I have to believe it."

"If this woman is really ridiculously strong, how can we fight her? Go to other cities to get help? I heard that there is a large force called the 'Gathering of Ten Thousand Immortals' in the north. Although it is a civilian group, its power exceeds that of the local officials... But that is no different from shrinking our tails and running away obediently."

"I heard that there is a curse master in Tianhai City who can fight against Advisor An. If she can help, we don't have to give up our hard work in Tianhai City."

The vampire couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

The other party's intelligence is as well-informed as ever, but its authenticity is questionable.

"Who are you talking about? It can't be the dear 'old immortal' who brags every day about his abilities before he was injured. Let's wait until he comes back to life from the grave first."

"No, I heard..." the man in black robe said cautiously, "It was a female high school student who had a fight with Advisor An half a month ago, and the result was a close match."

"Female high school student? A female again? What kind of world change? I think it's the yin that's stronger than the yang."

the vampire commented tartly.

"I'm afraid it's just a rumor."

The man in black robe wanted to say something when the lights in the room suddenly came on.

"——The time has come."

The middle-aged man stood up, and his fangs could not wait to emerge from his lips.

"We can discuss your worries after the feast. How about enjoying it with me?"

*
“—that’s what they said.”

Jiang Yunmei opened her eyes and repeated the conversation while eavesdropping with her clairaudience. She looked at Cen Dongsheng nervously.

"Teacher Cen, then, those two people will be here soon..."

"take it easy."

Cen Dongsheng grinned, his white teeth gleaming in the light.

Then he put the wine glass on the table, untied his bow tie, took off his coat and handed it to Jiang Yunmei, revealing a muscular body that could not be hidden by the white shirt.

"Hold it for me."

"Teacher Cen..."

"The time has come."

The man moved his wrists, making crisp "crackling" sounds from time to time, and smiled brightly.
