Chapter 192 The Method to Break the Curse

"Chen Miao, it's been a long time."

Ding Min said to Chen Miao with a smile.

Chen Miao was also stunned. Two or three months had passed since the incident involving the six beasts and evil cultivators.

"Sister Ding, it's been a long time."

After Chen Miao finished speaking, he looked at Qi Ning.

"The one you mentioned who knows black magic, is it Sister Ding?"

Qi Ning nodded.

"Ding Min had previously accompanied Class C investigators to other places to deal with sorcerers, making her the only investigator I know who had actually come into contact with sorcery."

Chen Miao nodded and led the two to the balcony.

"It's right inside."

Qi Ning was unsurprised to be surprised when she saw the space on the balcony.

"This secret room is really well-built."

As she spoke, Ding Min had already entered the secret room.

Before long, Ding Min took out the items one by one and placed them on the coffee table in the living room.

"Neither of you have ever seen anything related to black magic before, so I'll demonstrate it to you right now. That way, you'll know what to do next time you encounter it."

Chen Miao's goodwill towards this older sister immediately increased significantly.

"Actually, the most troublesome part of black magic is finding the person who casts the spell and the medium through which it is performed."

"Once we found the medium for casting the spell, things became much simpler."

"Generally speaking, you can all handle the medium for casting spells by following the methods I have taught you."

As she spoke, Ding Min pointed to the puppet with the photograph on it and said, "Look, this medium for casting spells is made up of multiple things."

"Photographs, puppets, hair, wooden pegs, and blood on the puppets."

"The first step in breaking the spellcasting medium is not to remove the nails, but to disrupt them."

As she spoke, Ding Min grabbed Qi Ning's hand and quickly stabbed a small hole with a knife.

"Blood is the best thing to disrupt the medium of a spell... Don't move!"

Ding Min glared at Qi Ning, dripped the blood from his hand onto the puppet, and then let go.

"Because the mediums used in black magic are all targeted."

"When a drop of new blood is suddenly mixed in, it will naturally cause the black magic to 'go haywire'. During this period, the black magic is in the process of processing abnormal information. When it recognizes that the new blood does not match the other mediums used in the spell, it will eliminate the disruptive information and return to normal."

"Therefore, the simpler the medium used in casting a curse, the easier it is to break."

"Sometimes, a single drop of blood can break the curse."

"But there are also complicated ones!"

Ding Min's expression became more serious.

“I previously accompanied a Class C investigator to handle a case involving a sorcerer. That sorcerer was from abroad. After we caught him, we discovered that he used tissues from eight different parts of the victim's body to perform his sorcery. A single drop of blood couldn't disrupt his sorcery at all.”

"In the end, we had no choice but to take the victim and the medium through which the black magic was cast back to the station and find a specialist to undo it."

"By the time the clothes were removed, the victim was already disabled."

"Do you know why that sorcerer cast a spell on the victim?"

Chen Miao shook his head.

"The victim and the sorcerer were on the same flight. The sorcerer was sitting next to the victim, and the victim smelled the sorcerer's odor and said, 'It stinks!'"

"Just because of one sentence, he was tortured into becoming disabled."

"If the victim hadn't happened to know the investigator, he probably would have died thinking he had died of a serious illness."

Chen Miao stood tall and imposing.

I have gained a clearer understanding of sorcerers once again.

Violence must be repaid!

It seems that if I encounter a sorcerer in the future, I will definitely kill them!

"You've said too much. This black magic has already eliminated the disruptive information. Look, that drop of blood has already been expelled."

Ding Min pointed to the bloodstains at the puppet's feet and said.

"If it's expelled, it means the procedure has returned to normal, so now we'll have to do it all over again."

As she spoke, Ding Min reached out to grab Qi Ning's hand again.

Qi Ning dodged it.

"Why don't you use Chen Miao's hand?" Ding Min glanced at Qi Ning disdainfully and reached out to grab him.

"Your hands are all injured, why are you looking for someone else? Besides, are you as handsome as Chen Miao?"

"..."

"..."

Chen Miao glanced at Qi Ning somewhat awkwardly, a hint of apology in his eyes.

Qi Ning was stunned.

What are you apologizing for?!

"Alright, let's begin the second step."

"Once we have successfully disrupted the spell, we can begin to dismantle the casting medium."

As she spoke, Ding Min removed the hair from the back of the photo.

"For each medium taken, another drop of blood must be dripped, until it is broken down into individual components. Only then is it considered a success."

As she spoke, Ding Min dripped Qi Ning's blood onto the puppet and pulled out the wooden nails.

The moment the wooden nail was pulled out, the photograph also fell to the ground.

Ding Min picked up the bare wooden puppet and looked at it over.

"Okay, that's it. That's it. It was simple, right?"

Ding Min looked at Chen Miao and said.

Chen Miao nodded.

"Indeed, it's not difficult if you know the method, but what if I just pull out the nail? Will the target die?"

Ding Min shook her head.

"Given the severity of this curse, the person will most likely not die, but will be injured or suffer pain."

"If it is a curse cast by a powerful sorcerer, forcibly breaking it will trigger a backlash no less powerful than the curse itself."

Chen Miao suddenly realized.

Indeed, professional matters should be handled by professionals.

Chen Miao glanced at the other items on the table.

"Anything else? Is there anything else?"

Ding Min shook her head.

"That's it. That's all. The one in the jar is just the main body. We'll hand it over to the bureau for processing later."

Chen Miao frowned.

"That's it? There should be two people who have been cursed."

Chen Miao explained Wen Hao's situation but concealed the details about his ability to see ghosts.

"If that's the case, the sorcerer must be using a love spell or similar type of black magic, which only lasts for a short period of time and then disappears."

Chen Miao understood. If that was the case, it made perfect sense. It seemed that Miao Jing wanted to win Wen Hao back.

Just then, Chen Miao's phone rang; it was Huang Jinjin.

“Mr. Chen, Wenhao has taken Miao Jing back as you requested, and I’m already at the door.”

Chen Miao got up, opened the door, and let Huang Jinjin in.

"It's not a good idea for you to come here."

Looking at the people in the room, Huang Jinjin said earnestly to Chen Miao, "I want to see her outcome! Otherwise, I can't let this go."

Chen Miao didn't say anything more.

With the three of them around, and considering that most black magic spells require a medium, the subsequent actions were relatively safe.

Chen Miao kept Huang Jinjin.

Twenty minutes later, Huang Jinjin received another message from Wen Hao.

"They've arrived at the residential area!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ning hid behind the door, while Ding Min went straight out and hid in the stairwell's emergency exit, preparing to cut off their escape route.

As for Chen Miao and Huang Jinjin, they went into the room and hid for the time being.

Five minutes later, the door was opened.
