988 Drowned in Blood (2/2)

Mo Fan quickened his pace and entered the living room.

”Hey, what are you two doing? Asshole, you dare come to my house! I swear I'm going to take you down!” a familiar voice came from outside the house.

Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue turned around and saw the same Water Mage they had stumbled into before.

This was his place? Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue were speechless. How small is this world?

”This is your house?” Mo Fan asked.

”Of course, don't be ridiculous! Even if you're an Advanced Mage, you can't just sneak into my house just because I took a few extra glances at your girlfriend!” the Water Mage shouted.

”Something absolutely stinks in your house, don't you smell it?” Mo Fan asked.

The Water Mage took a deep breath and immediately started coughing. He was so focused on Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue that he had simply ignored the smell.

”Why does it stink so much?” the Water Mage said.

”You should ask yourself that, I think it's coming from this big room,” Mo Fan pointed at a locked room.

The room was locked from the outside. Even the gaps were sealed with nails. It did not look normal to Mo Fan, as the door would only be sealed to trap someone inside the room.

The man was startled, and his face immediately turned pale.

He quickly took out a key and unlocked the room.

As soon as the door flung open, a disgusting smell burst out from it. The three immediately held their breaths!

”Norke, Norke!” the man screamed as he rushed into the room.

Mo Fan followed after him, but he was stunned as soon as the disgusting sight filled his eyes!

The man was dumbfounded too. He fell to the ground feebly...

Mu Ningxue quickly turned around, as she did not dare to look at it further.

Mo Fan had seen horrible things before, but even he felt uncomfortable after seeing the sight in the room.

There was a man in the room. He had been tied up, most likely by the Water Mage they had stumbled into.

However, the man inside the room was dead!

His wrist was sliced open, and lots of blood had poured out into an iron pot. The man had shoved his face into the pot and drowned himself in the blood.

It was difficult to tell if the man had died from losing too much blood or drowning. Either way, his body was pale and dried up, the same symptoms shown by the victims of the Drowning Curse!

---

The man cried for a long time. It seemed the man called Norke was his younger brother!

To make things even worse, the person that had died to the Drowning Curse three months ago in this household was his elder brother...

In other words, two members of his family had died to the Drowning Curse!

”Tell us what you know. I believe you have a stronger urge than anyone else to find the real cause of their death.” Mo Fan brought the man some bottles of beers to help him calm down.

The man emptied two bottles of beer in an instant. It was obvious that he was having trouble accepting the truth.

”Norke likes to surf. I didn't let him go, so he was grabbing and scratching me like he had gone insane. I thought he was out of his mind, so I locked him up in the room. I didn't come home last night, I planned to lock him up for a day hoping that he would come to his senses. I didn't expect him to drown himself in his own blood. What did I do wrong?” Bobby cried.

”I don't think it has anything to do with me, but it's indeed strange that two members of your family died to the Drowning Curse. Even though people across the world have died to it, I can't believe it's a coincidence that it has happened to the same household twice. Did your elder brother and Norke go to some place together? Or did they recently do something together, or eat the same thing?” Mo Fan asked seriously.

”They were always together. I'm a Mage, so I barely come home. I spend most of my time at the Magic Association. My elder brother always take Norke with him, but I'm not too sure where they went,” said Bobby.

Bobby was grieving, and struggling to speak properly. Mo Fan did not feel like asking him more questions, either. He had no choice but to wait for the man to calm down, so he could try and get some useful information from him.

Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue went to the side. They could see the shock and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

”This is really scary,” Mu Ningxue said softly.

”Yeah, I think this Norke was affected by the Drowning Curse, too. Normally, he would have run to the ocean and drowned himself, but he was locked in the room by Bobby, making it impossible for him to find any body of water. In the end, he managed to complete the drowning ritual with his own blood. It's not as simple as a disease, it's like some kind of mental torture, or brainwashing,” Mo Fan said.

”But what could it be that it's able to person to drown himself in his own blood?” Mu Ningxue said.

”I've already notified Lingling. Let's keep the place as it is. I believe we might be able to find some useful clues here!” Mo Fan said seriously.

Mo Fan was initially interested in the Drowning Curse because of the reward pool, but after witnessing the terrifying death, he was no longer at ease!

Where the hell did this curse come from? It was absolutely terrifying!
