522 Control (1/2)
”Is the Paranormal Pawnshop...collapsing?”
The fortunate Lu Bingqi who did not die looked at the surrounding walls and ceiling. On their surfaces, numerous holes appeared and kept on expanding. It was as though they were pieces of paper being burned as they quickly turned into ashes.
The entire body of the pawnshop was rapidly turning into nothingness.
”Is the curse... gone?”
Similarly, Thomas and his female partner looked at the slowly disappearing pawnshop in awe. They could not help but weep tears of joy.
”Woong! Woong!”
At the next moment.
A ball of light appeared. The surviving traders were then kicked out of this alternate dimension as though they were intruders.
The entire plane of black fog collapsed from its edges and into its core.
Inside the dark hall.
An ice statue stood still and emanated a terrifying spiritual aura.
”Crackle!”
The cracks in space quickly extended like a monster's sharp claw as they came for where the statue stood.
Suddenly, large amounts of cracks appeared on the ice as it exploded violently, revealing Fang Yuan.
”What a close shave...”
As Fang Yuan looked at the cracks in the space around him swarming towards him, he let out a long breath and disappeared in an instant.
Back in reality.
”Amituofo!”
Jiese the Monk placed his palms together.
”Fang Yuan, you are finally out! I heard from Lu Bingqi that you managed to break the curse of the pawnshop! What a magnanimous deed!”
”I was just lucky!”
Fang Yuan let out a long breath. What he said was true.
When he sealed the parchment scroll at the very last moment, it was extremely dangerous. Luckily, the ghost he sealed did not disappoint him after all.
However, after sealing the parchment scroll, Fang Yuan never expected to suffer from the backlash of that Strange Level frozen corpse.
Even though Fang Yuan managed to re-seal the ghost at the very last moment, the extreme sense of chilliness still froze and turn him into an ice statue.
Even with Fang Yuan's original stats, he might not even be able to survive from that extremely icy temperature.
'Luckily, after sealing the curse of the pawnshop, my body's physical property increased tremendously. Else, I'm afraid I would have been really trapped there... After all, that is the full power of a 'Strange' Level curse...'
With a lingering fear inside his heart, Fang Yuan then looked at his stats:
”Name: Fang Yuan (Tantai Mieming)
Essence: 25.0 (100)
Spirit: 25.0 (100)
Magic: 25.0 (100)
Profession: Exorcist
Technique: Exorcism (Peak), Pharmacy (Peak), Eagle Claw Grappling Technique (Peak)
Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 6)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 1)], [Spirit Sealing Body (3rd Grade)]
Spirit Sealing Body (3rd Grade): Your body is a weapon which is able to seal evil ghosts. You will able to seal any ghost that you come into contact with into your body! You have activated the 3rd Grade, and the capacity for sealing evil ghosts: 3! You can choose to release the ghost!”
The pawnshop was indeed a Strange Level curse indeed! After sealing it, his stats increased greatly by 10 points!
Such an increase in stats definitely became harder and harder as time passed.
Furthermore, this was also due to the suppression by the higher-dimensional force on this realm.
Hence, this was why a Strange Level curse was so horrifying!
”If not for this little power, I would have most likely been frozen by the ghost's last resistance before it was sealed. I would then be sucked into the space-time turbulence and who knows what would happen next.”
Fang Yuan clenched his fists tightly.
Currently, after Fang Yuan sealed his third evil ghost which was a Strange Level one, he felt his body was full of energy. He felt as though his condition was at its peak and could not be any better.
”From now on... Murderous Level evil ghosts would be nothing to me... By stacking and releasing two Strange Level curses, ghosts below Strange Level would definitely retreat. I wouldn't even be afraid of ghost swarms.”
After Fang Yuan pondered, he opened his mouth and asked, ”Two of you... why don't we return to the detective agency first?”
”I... I have to go too?”
Lu Bingqi was rather surprised and afraid. However, he did not dare to disobey what Fang Yuan said.
After all, this was the powerful person who destroyed the undefeatable pawnshop!
...
The three ravaged looking people entered the detective corporation. Ma Xiaoling was startled and took the first aid box to bandage Lu Bingqi.
After all, the wound on his eye had to be thoroughly dealt with.
As for Fang Yuan, he immediately went into the room and began to experiment with the abilities he received after sealing his third curse.
”Release!”
He first tried to release 10% of the curse and his entire body changed at once.
A black-coloured magnificent missionary-like robe automatically covered Fang Yuan's body. His skin turned pale and his eyes turned as black as the mysterious universe.
”This is... the might of a Strange Level curse at its prime?”
Fang Yuan's thought about it and black chains appeared on his hands. The chains coiled around his whole body closely and were hidden under his black robe. It was like some sort of secret weapon.
”After sealing the strange pawnshop, the abilities I obtained are largely classified into three areas. The first one is the most important one, the ability to propagate the curse!”
