Versatile Mage: Started as Gengar and was selected for the National Government Tournament

Chapter 176: Unraveling the Mystery of the Drowning Curse
There was a corpse in the room with an extremely strange death.

The man's wrist was cut and a lot of blood flowed out.

The blood was collected in an iron basin.

And his entire face was soaked in blood.

It is no longer possible to tell whether the man died from excessive blood loss or drowning.

In short, his body also turned pale, which was completely consistent with the drowning curse!
Looking at the tragic scene in front of me.

Mu Ningxue suppressed the discomfort.

Nan Rongni turned away directly, not wanting to look at this disgusting scene anymore.

"Who are you? What are you...doing in my house?"

At this time, a drunk man holding a bottle of beer in his hand asked in confusion.

"Is this your house? Someone's dead, and you're still drinking!"

Nan Rongni glanced at the drunk man staggering with disdain.

The drunk man was stunned for two seconds.

He gradually noticed that Nan Rongni and Mu Ningxue were standing at the door of his younger brother Nuo Ke's room.

The sealed door was opened?
"Noko!?"

The drunk man screamed and walked quickly towards the room.

Nan Rongni and Mu Ningxue immediately stepped aside and made room.

Looking at the picture in the room.

The drunk man's eyes were blank and the bottle in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

……

At Nan Rongni's inquiry.

The drunk man cried and talked.

He told her why he locked up his brother.

His name is Bobby.

There are three brothers in the family.

What's even more tragic is that more than three months ago, his brother also died from drowning.

"This shouldn't have anything to do with you. Drowning curses appear all over the world. However, have your brother and your younger brother Noko been to the same place or eaten similar things?" Mu Ningxue asked seriously.

"I don't know... I'm a wizard and rarely at home. I mostly stay in the Magic Association... My eldest brother often takes Noko out to play..." Bobby's voice was low and intermittent, and his expression was very sad.

Mu Ningxue didn't feel comfortable asking any further.

But the general situation is basically clear.

Noko was accidentally hit by a drowning curse.

Under normal circumstances.

He would have run to the beach and drowned.

Unfortunately, Bobby locked him up at home, preventing Noko from getting any water.

As a result, his younger brother used this extreme method.

Completed the Drowning Curse ritual.

The drowning curse is no longer just a problem of the plague virus.

Is there still some kind of mental curse and control?
And Nan Rongni barely adapted to the scene.

At this moment, he suddenly sensed a strange aura surging in the blood basin of the deceased Noko.

wrong!

There is something!!

Nan Rongni narrowed his eyes slightly.

A pair of pupils suddenly turned into vertical pupils.

This moment.

In her field of vision, she could clearly see an extremely faint but dense demonic aura covering the body of the deceased Noko.

She felt it clearly.

That mass of things, does it have an extremely strong desire to devour and evolve?!

"Ningxue, there's something in his brother's body!" Nan Rongni felt a little creepy and whispered in Mu Ningxue's ear.

"Is there something?"

"It's some kind of marine parasitic monster. It should be in its initial larval stage, but I doubt it can evolve continuously by devouring organisms," Nan Rongni guessed.

"So, those who were cursed by the drowning curse headed for the sea after death... Is it because there are countless creatures in the ocean for them to devour and parasitize?!"

State this speculation.

Mu Ningxue and Nan Rongni saw fear and anxiety in each other's eyes.

"Should we call for help? Even if we have a clue, if we want to continue, we'll probably have to head to the sea..." Nan Rongni looked at Nuoko's death, feeling a little uneasy. He suggested seriously, "I can ask Captain Chu for help. With his abilities, he can definitely break the drowning curse!"

Hearing Nan Rongni's advice.

Mu Ningxue hesitated.

Of course she believed in Chu Ming's strength.

But she was unwilling to give up. She finally found a clue.

Although it was a bit dangerous, she really wanted to continue the investigation on her own.

The mystery of the Drowning Curse is a global event.

If I can find a solution, it will greatly improve her reputation, that of my father, and that of the Mu family branch!

She was able to break through to a higher level and stay in the National Government team, and she already owed a favor to Nan Rongni.

Even the best of friends.

A Galaxy Vein is no small amount.

Mu Ningxue promised at that time that she would do three things for Nan Rongni in the future, even if it meant going through fire and water!

If Chu Ming came to help.

What else can she give?

Nan Rongni is a healing mage with poor output capabilities, but as a destruction mage, she can still be useful.

But Chu Ming himself is extremely powerful.

No need for help from anyone else.

……

Nan Rongni looked at Mu Ningxue's expression, probably guessing what she was thinking, and said seriously.

"Ning Xue, even if we don't look for Captain Chu, we're not professional hunters after all, and we don't know much about this kind of parasitic demon. We can't solve the mystery of this world on our own... I think we should not act rashly for now. How about this, wait for me to contact them."

"Yeah." Mu Ningxue finally faced the reality and didn't refuse.

Walk outside the yard.

Nan Rongni immediately called Chu Ming and briefly explained the situation.

"Parasite demon, looking for a professional?"

Chu Ming touched his chin.

He finally had some idea about the mammoth corpse whose bones had been devoured, and combined with the discussions of the locals, he associated it with the drowning curse.

did not expect.

Just half a day.

Mu Ningxue and Nan Rongni had actually found clues to the drowning curse.

"Alright, then I won't get involved in this incident. I'll find someone for you, but I have one condition: Mu Ningxue must join the Qingtian Hunting Institute. Ultimately, under the name of the Qingtian Hunting Institute, we can resolve the mystery of the Drowning Curse in the International Hunter Alliance."

"it is good."

Nan Rongni agreed to the request without thinking.

Although I don’t know what the relationship between Chu Ming and this Qingtian Hunter is.

But she believed it.

If there are no professional hunters coming.

She and Mu Ningxue alone would never be able to resolve the drowning curse incident.

……

the other side.

Chu Ming immediately called Lingling and told her about the drowning curse.

"Really?"

"Where are you? I'm coming over now!"

Lingling on the other end of the phone asked quickly with shining eyes.

Ever since Chu Ming participated in the training.

She is about to get moldy in the Magic City.

There were no demons, no bounties, and such boring days that she felt like she was about to collapse.

She's had enough.

The drowning curse, this is a global event.

This is the important thing that she, as a master hunter, should do!

"Well, I'm in Tinoaya, Portugal, come over."

Hearing Lingling's excited voice, Chu Ming smiled and said the place name, and at the same time told her Nan Rongni's contact information.

The next day.

It's not yet fully light
Lingling took the fastest flight to the city of Tinoaya.

Under the leadership of Nanrong Ni.

The two returned to the purple vine courtyard.

Bobby, who was in the yard, saw a little girl coming in. He stood up hurriedly and said, "Little girl, don't come in. It's dangerous here!"

"This is the hunter master I found." Nan Rongni explained.

"what?"

Bobby stood there in a daze, completely stunned as he watched Lingling stirring the basin of sticky blood with her fingers.
