Chen Heng could keenly sense the threat of this city.
Hidden beneath the calmness was a deep evilness.
From how he saw it, this city was like a barrel of gunpowder that could explode at any moment.
He did not need to feel this; he could tell this from how Yang Cheng and the others acted.
Chen Heng had been secretly observing their conversations with Chen Rou, so he naturally understood what they were saying.
Of course, he did not care much.
However, the people by his side would not be the same.
As such, he had given the pendant to Chen Rou, hoping that it would be able to protect her when Chen Heng was not around.
After all, no matter what, she was his big sister.
Another reason was that he wanted to use this thing to obtain some information.
Within the golden pendant was a trace of Chen Heng's mental energy.
Through this golden pendant, Chen Heng would be able to know everything that happened around Chen Rou.
With Chen Rou's status, this would be of great help to Chen Heng in understanding this world's secrets and obtaining some information.
It was because of this that Chen Heng had done what he had done before.
At the end of the day, he had just done it out of convenience.
After doing this, if there were no accidents, Chen Heng would not continue to interfere.
He would only be honest and move forward according to his original path of life. He would not do anything else.
Of course, just doing this was enough for Chen Heng.
Time gradually passed.
The next day, Chen Rou put on the pendant and casually gave Chen Heng some instructions.
On the surface, she looked quite normal, but compared to before, she was a bit long-winded today.
However, in actuality, she was telling him what to do after his death.
There was no other way.
The cursed land was incredibly dangerous, and no one knew just how terrifying it was.
Even Chen Rou herself wasn't certain that she would be able to come out after entering it.
Therefore, some of the necessary preparations had to be done early in the morning.
Otherwise, she would not have another chance.
As such, she grabbed Chen Heng and gave him many instructions before reluctantly leaving.
Looking at Chen Rou's departing figure, Chen Heng stood there and silently shook his head before also leaving.
After he left, this place returned to how it was before. It was calm, and there didn't seem to be any signs of life.
He left the house and headed to the school.
During this process, Chen Heng discovered many differences.
In the outside world, there would occasionally be black fog surging and appearing in this place.
This mist represented none other than the power of the curse.
Right now, there was this black fog all around the city. Even though it was quite faint, it was quite clear to Chen Heng.
The black mist continued to rise and eventually shrouded the entire city. At first glance, it gave off a very strange feeling.
Of course, this was only to Chen Heng.
For most ordinary people, they did not know what was happening in the city, nor could they see the power of the curse that was gradually becoming active in the corners of the city.
Unbeknownst to ordinary people, a deep darkness was about to envelop the entire city.
The occurrence of such a situation was truly shocking.
"It's getting more active …"
As he walked, Chen Heng muttered to himself.
As a bystander, he could clearly sense the changes.
Back when he had first descended, even though there were some problems with this city, it was not too obvious. It was just a somewhat unique place.
However, now, the strange power was continuously descending and becoming more and more active.
It seemed that as time passed, this power would become more and more terrifying. In the end, it might even cover the entire city and devour it.
With the current situation, it was no wonder that the officials were so serious and wanted to do everything they could to stall for time.
"However, this world's power system seems to be built on curses …"
As he walked, Chen Heng thought to himself.
He had listened in on Chen Rou's conversation with the others, so he knew some of the governmental faction's plans.
From what he knew, even though the cursed land was terrifying, it did not seem that the people of this world could not deal with it.
After a period of time, the so-called Alliance Team would arrive to suppress the Cursed Lands that were rebelling.
What Chen Rou and the others had to do was to do everything they could to delay the outbreak of the curse before the coalition team arrived.
Facing the curse, it did not seem that the people of this world did not have any way to deal with it.
At the very least, the alliance represented this world's top-tier power, an extraordinary power that could truly resist the curse.
It was just that he did not know how this world's top-tier power would appear.
According to Chen Heng's estimations, it was most likely rooted in the power of curses.
It was just that he was not sure exactly what it would be like.
He also felt quite excited and wanted to know what the final outcome would be.
Of course, it was too early to say such things now.
Walking on the road, he silently strode forward, heading towards his destination.
Time gradually passed.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
To the ordinary people living in this city, a few days did not seem much different.
Those who were busy were still busy, and no one felt anything different during this period of time.
In order to prevent chaos and panic, the government suppressed all information, so not many people knew that the curse was about to erupt.
Of course, with the situation in this world, it was hard to say if ordinary people would know about the curse.
Even though they did not say anything on the surface, it was as if nothing had happened, they were secretly making some preparations.
For another group of people in this city, what they had faced in just a few days was something else.
"We've already reached here?"
Within the black fog, panting sounds continuously sounded out.
Wearing the heavy protective suit, Chen Rou advanced with difficulty, slowly moving forward.
Dense fog rose in all directions, and even though it was still daytime outside, it seemed as if it was late at night here.
It seemed that this place had been affected by the cursed land's power, forming a unique domain that was completely cut off from the outside world.
"We've already reached such a stage?"
After reaching this place with great difficulty, Chen Rou's expression was quite unsightly. Looking around, she did not know what to say.
From what they could sense, they had already reached a completely different domain.
The environment here was completely different from the outside world, and it was filled with a unique power factor.
If ordinary people stayed here for a long time, they would definitely be affected by that power factor, resulting in all sorts of changes.
Chen Rou and the others had long since been prepared for this.
However, just how terrifying this cursed land was still made them feel quite shocked.
At the very least, they could sense that this cursed land's environment was a bit too intense.
"The density of the curse power is at least ten times that of the other cursed lands …"
After reaching this place, Chen Rou held the equipment as she inwardly sighed, "Just what is this place …"
At that moment, as lights lit up, the surroundings started to change.
As Chen Rou and the others watched on, there seemed to be some changes within the hazy fog in the distance.
A series of hazy silhouettes came from the front. They looked like humans, but there was something wrong with them.
"Be careful."
Looking at the scene before them, Chen Rou and the others were on their guard, and they were already prepared.
From the moment they had arrived here, they had been facing all sorts of dangers.
In the Cursed Land, there were creatures of the curse lurking everywhere, and monsters that were born from the curse.
In order to reach this place, they had already lost many people's lives.
From the current situation, it seemed that new dangers were about to descend.
Standing where they were, they prepared themselves in their hearts and had already made sufficient mental preparations.
However, even so, when the existences in the fog appeared, they could not help but feel stunned.
Because the thing that had appeared in the fog was none other than a person.
That's right, people.
As Chen Rou and the others watched on, these people wore military uniforms but moved incredibly slowly. Many of them had bloodstains on their bodies, making them look incredibly savage.
"This is …"
Looking at this scene, Chen Rou could not help but feel startled before quickly coming to her senses, "The elite soldiers who came to explore this place …"
Before this, in order to explore the cursed land, they had sent many elites from the government into it.
Among those elites, there were cursed people who had been planted with cursed seeds, as well as military professionals …
It was just that in the end, they had all been lost in this place, burying their great lives here.
And what they saw now was obviously these martyrs.
"Could it be … that they're not dead yet?"
Standing next to Chen Rou, someone could not help but ask.
Indeed.
These people were still moving and could still move, and it seemed that they were still alive.
Of course, even though this was the case, no one present would naively think that these people were still alive.
Based on the current situation, even if these people were still alive, they were probably no longer the same people as they were before.
As expected, in the next moment, a horrifying scene appeared.
In front of them, in the thick fog, figures in military uniforms appeared one after another.
They slowly moved forward, gradually approaching. Then, as if sensing their auras, they began to slowly raise their heads.
As they raised their heads, under the dim illumination of the light, faces that had long since rotted and looked beyond recognition appeared in front of them. Then, they began to reveal themselves.
This scene was incredibly horrifying.
From their rotting faces, they could tell that they had long since died and were just corpses. However, under the influence of some special power, they could still move and were incredibly agile.
Chen Rou and the others did not know the reason behind this.
However, they knew that based on the current situation, these people who were once their companions when they were alive would most likely be their opponents now.
"Everyone, prepare …"
Standing there and looking at this scene, Chen Rou deeply breathed in before saying, "Prepare to charge in …"
The rest of the people around her didn't say anything and just nodded in unison.
In the next moment, they rushed forwards.
.....
"The Holy Mother descended into the world, bringing warmth and fire to people …"
Within the spacious church, Chen Heng stood on a high platform with a calm expression. He wore priest robes as he softly spoke.
He spoke about the legends of the Holy Mother. They were all incredibly boring stories, but when they came from Chen Heng's mouth, they had a strange charm to them, making people want to continue listening.
The reason for this was because Chen Heng spoke quite well and had a deep understanding of the Holy Mother's stories.
Even though he had not been in contact with the Holy Mother's Church for a long time, with Chen Heng's talent, he had long since surpassed the middle-aged priest and reached an even higher level.
Moreover, in terms of speaking, Chen Heng was much better than the middle-aged priest.
At the very least, from Chen Heng's point of view, the middle-aged priest's speaking skills were quite lacking.
Of course, this alone wasn't enough to achieve the effect he was looking for.
After all, doctrines were just doctrines, and speeches were just speeches. In short, they were just the same things.
No matter how well Chen Heng spoke, other people would only listen to him a few times before getting bored. It was impossible for him to achieve this effect.
The reason why he was able to do this was mostly because of his mental energy and divine power.
While speaking, he could connect his mental energy to better resonate with other people's minds, causing them to feel the same emotions.
In this way, it would be easy to achieve the goal of attracting people and easily attract these people.
On the other hand, the display of divine power could create an even better atmosphere. In fact, during the process of the speech, these people would feel a sense of satisfaction in their hearts.
The combination of these two powers produced a very good effect.
It was because of this that Chen Heng could easily do what the middle-aged priest could not, which was make so many people come to listen to his speech.
If it wasn't for these extraordinary powers, no matter how good he was, he would not have been able to do this.
As time gradually passed, the massive clock within the church slowly turned until it reached a certain number.
A crisp bell sound rang out. It was exceptionally melodious, and it spread out just like that.
Hearing this sound, Chen Heng looked up and smiled as he said, "Let's stop here for today.
If you're interested, you're welcome to come again. "
He said softly before walking down from the stage.
In response, the people below did not seem to have had enough, and some of them even had tears on their faces, looking incredibly emotional.
After this speech, everyone's hearts were filled with a sense of satisfaction. Compared to before, they felt quite different.
Before, they might have been filled with confusion, sorrow, and many other emotions.
But after today, the various emotions in their hearts had completely faded away, leaving only a feeling of being touched.
"How nice …"
A black-robed figure slowly got up, feeling that sense of fulfillment in his heart, and he gave a rare sigh, "How many years has it been …
"From that day until now, I still feel like crying …"
He felt the feeling in his heart and said this at this moment.
"Indeed, it feels quite good."
By the side, another young man nodded and sincerely sighed as he said, "Who would have thought that that fierce woman's little brother would have such abilities …
"Just by listening to him speak, I feel as if my soul has undergone a transformation."
"This is incredible …"
"In the past, I've heard that there are many unique things in this world. There are even some people who are clearly not Cursed Ones, but possess all sorts of incredible powers …"
The black-robed elder in front of him said, "This Sacrificer is likely to be one of those people."
"However, compared to the people we've seen in the past, this Sacrificer's power is even more unique and practical …"
He thought about it for a while and then said.
Standing by the side, the young man thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Indeed.
In the past, they had also seen many so-called people with abilities.
However, these so-called espers were all incredibly weak, and most of them looked no different from ordinary people.
Those so-called special abilities were also fancy. They could be used to generate electricity or fire. They looked good, but in fact, they were useless.
Those that could generate electricity could not even compare to a small battery, and those that could ignite fire could only light up a cigarette.
Most of them did not have much practical use.
Compared to these practicalities, they were more useful in participating in experiments to see if they could analyze the principles behind it.
Compared to what they remembered, this young man's esper was much more useful.
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that it could enrich one's mind and influence the spirit of others was already very valuable.
If they could use it well, it would be quite useful.
