Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 176 Unraveling the Mystery of the Drowning Curse

There was a corpse in the house with an extremely bizarre death.

The man's wrist was cut open, and a lot of blood was flowing out.

The blood was contained in an iron basin.

His entire face was soaked in that blood.

It was impossible to tell whether the person died from excessive blood loss or drowning.

In short, his body was also pale, which perfectly matched the drowning curse!

Looking at the tragic scene before him.

Mu Ningxue forced herself to endure the discomfort.

Nan Rongni turned her face away immediately, not wanting to see this disgusting scene anymore.

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

At that moment, a drunken man carrying a bottle of beer spoke up in confusion.

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

Nan Rongni glanced disdainfully at the drunken man who was staggering around.

The drunk man paused for two seconds.

He gradually noticed that the place where Nan Rongni and Mu Ningxue were standing was the doorway to his younger brother Nuo Ke's room.

The sealed door has been opened?

"Noko!?"

The drunk man cried out in surprise and hurried toward the room.

Nan Rongni and Mu Ningxue immediately stepped aside to make way.

Looking at the scene in the room.

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

……

Under Nan Rongni's questioning.

The drunk man cried and poured out his heart.

She explained why she had locked up her younger brother.

His name is Bobby.

There are three brothers in the family.

Even more tragically, his brother had also drowned himself more than three months earlier.

"This shouldn't be related to you. Drowning curses have appeared all over the world. However, have your brother and your younger brother Noko been to the same places or eaten similar things?" Mu Ningxue asked seriously.

"I don't know... I'm a mage, I'm rarely at home, I mostly stay at the Magic Association... My older brother often takes Noko out to play..." Bobby's voice was low and broken, his expression very sorrowful.

Mu Ningxue didn't press the matter further.

However, the general situation is basically clear.

Norko was unexpectedly cursed with drowning.

Under normal circumstances.

He should have run to the beach and drowned.

Unfortunately, Bobby locked him in the house, preventing Norko from getting any water.

As a result, his brother resorted to this extreme method.

The drowning curse ritual has been completed.

The Drowning Curse is no longer just a problem of plague viruses.

Is there some kind of mental curse or control at play?

Nan Rongni, however, managed to adapt to the situation.

Suddenly, they sensed a strange aura surging within the blood basin of the deceased Noko.

wrong!

There's something there!!

Nan Rongni narrowed her eyes slightly.

His pupils suddenly turned into vertical pupils.

In that instant.

In her vision, she saw a faint yet densely packed demonic aura covering the body of the dead Noko.

She sensed it clearly.

That mass of things possessed an incredibly strong desire to devour and evolve?!

"Ning Xue, there's something in her brother's body!" Nan Rongni felt a chill run down her spine and whispered in Mu Ningxue's ear.

"Is there something?"

"It's some kind of marine parasitic monster, currently probably in its initial larval stage, but I suspect it can evolve by devouring living beings," Nan Rongni speculated.

"So, those who are cursed with the drowning curse go to the sea after death... because the ocean has countless creatures for them to devour and parasitize?!"

State this conjecture.

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

"Should we call for backup? Even if we have a lead, if we want to continue, we'll probably have to head to the sea..." Nan Rongni looked at Noko's dead body, feeling uneasy, and earnestly suggested, "I can ask Captain Chu for help. With his abilities, he can definitely break the drowning curse!"

Hearing Nan Rongni's suggestion.

Mu Ningxue hesitated.

She certainly believed in Chu Ming's strength.

But she was somewhat unwilling to give up.

After much investigation, a clue was finally found.

Although it was somewhat 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 that can greatly improve her, my father's, and the reputation and situation of the Mu family after their separation!

She was able to break through to the advanced level and stay in the National Team, which already puts her in Nan Rongni's lap.

Even the best of friends.

A single Star River Pulse is no small amount.

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

If Chu Ming were to help...

What else can she offer?

The latest novel is first published here!

Nan Rongni is a healing mage with poor damage output, but as a destruction mage, she still has a place to be useful.

But Chu Ming himself is exceptionally strong.

There is absolutely no need for anyone else's help.

……

Looking at Mu Ningxue's expression, Nan Rongni roughly guessed what she was thinking and said seriously.

"Ning Xue, even if we don't contact Captain Chu, we're not professional hunters after all, and we don't understand these parasitic demons. We absolutely can't solve the mystery of this world on our own... I think we shouldn't act rashly for now. How about this, let me make some contact."

"Mm." Mu Ningxue finally accepted reality and did not refuse.

I walked outside the courtyard.

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

"Parasite demon, should we find a professional?"

Chu Ming stroked his chin.

He had just begun to understand the mammoth carcass, which had been completely devoured, and the discussions among the locals led him to associate it with the Drowning Curse.

did not expect.

In just half a day.

Mu Ningxue and Nan Rongni have actually found clues about 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 Azure Sky Hunter's Guild and, in the end, end the mystery of the Drowning Curse in the name of the Azure Sky Hunter's Guild within the International Hunters' Alliance."

"it is good."

Nan Rongni agreed to the request without hesitation.

Although it is unknown what the relationship is between Chu Ming and this Qing Tian Hunter.

But she believed.

If no professional hunter comes.

She and Mu Ningxue alone could not possibly resolve the drowning curse incident.

……

the other side.

Chu Ming immediately dialed Lingling's number and told her about the drowning curse.

"Really?"

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

Lingling's eyes lit up on the other end of the phone, and she quickly asked.

Since Chu Ming participated in the training...

She's practically rotting away in Shanghai.

Without demons or bounties, she felt like she was about to break down from this boring existence.

She'd had enough.

The Drowning Curse is a global event.

This is the kind of important thing that a master hunter like her should do!

"Alright, I'm in Tinoaia, Portugal. Come over here."

Hearing Lingling's excited voice, Chu Ming smiled and told her the location, while also giving her Nan Rongni's contact information.

The next day.

It was not yet fully light.

Lingling took the fastest flight to Tinoaya City.

Under Nan Rongni's leadership.

The two returned to the Violet Wisteria Courtyard.

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

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

"what?"

Bobby stood there, stunned, watching Lingling stir the bowl of somewhat viscous blood with her fingers.
