The young man looked at Chen Heng before saying, "The Cursed Lands continuously change, and those places are not in our world but in another s.p.a.ce.
"When those places and our world come close, different entrances will appear. However, those entrances are not stable and are quite weak. After entering once, they will usually be destroyed."
"So that entrance you used is most likely gone," Chen Heng said.
"That"s right."
The young man nodded, before saying, "That Cursed Land is definitely still there, and the entrance will definitely reappear again, most likely in this city.
"As for when it will appear, or where it will be, we don"t know."
Sitting opposite the young man, Chen Heng"s expression was calm as he nodded, feeling that it was a pity.
He had wanted to take this opportunity to go in and have a look.
After all, from the situation, it seemed that the so-called curse energy was a fatal threat to others, but that was not necessarily the case for him.
For him, rather than being a threat, the curse energy was more of a big gift package.
He could use it to cause his strength to become even greater.
However, it seemed that this would not be possible for now.
Then again this did not matter—based on what the young man had said, he would just have to wait a little for it to reappear in this city.
By now, it was getting quite dark outside, and most people began to head home.
Looking outside, Chen Heng smiled and said, "It was good meeting you, but I should be going now. My sister is waiting for me at home, so I shouldn"t continue to stay."
Chen Heng gave an apologetic lookas he got up.
"Sister?"
The young man was a bit surprised and also smiled.
From before until now, he had always felt like Chen Heng was like a deity and not a mortal at all.
Only now did he reveal some kind of human characteristic.
So it turned out that he had a sister, which meant that he had a family. He did not just come down from the heavens like a G.o.d.
Looking at Chen Heng, the young man felt a trace of closeness with Chen Heng.
"Alright, you should go then."
He smiled as he asked, "Do you need me to give you a lift? The security in this area is not too good, and a boy like you walking by yourself might not be too safe."
"It"s fine," Chen Heng smiled, "I"ll be able to deal with it if anything happens."
After saying this, he picked up his bear bag and walked out.
However, before leaving, he left an address for the young man.
"If anything similar happens in the future, feel free to come and find me," Chen Heng said.
Sitting there and watching Chen Heng depart, the young man s.p.a.ced out for a while. Only after a while did he pick up the slip of paper and look at it.
"Changyuan Third Holy Mother Church…" he muttered.
Looking at that address, he thought to himself.
Not too far away, some heavy but quick footsteps sounded out.
The young man turned and saw Yang Cheng rus.h.i.+ng over.
By now, he had changed his clothes, but he looked like he had just woken up and did not look too great.
However, he did not care about any of this and rushed towards the young man.
"I can feel it!"
Yang Cheng looked incredibly excited, "That aura… Did that boy come?"
He looked at the young man with a look of antic.i.p.ation on his face.
"You could feel it?" the young man looked quite surprised as he asked.
"Of course," Yang Cheng nodded, "That pure and holy feeling, no matter who it is, you will never forget it as long as you experience it once."
"Indeed…"
Hearing Yang Cheng"s words, the young man stared for a moment before nodding in agreement.
This was especially so for people like them, who had curses in their bodies.
To people like them, Chen Heng"s existence was like a bright sun that could purify the curses in their bodies and bring them salvation.
He was like the Holy Mother of the legends, purifying all evil in this world.
"Looks like your curse has been dealt with," the young man examined for a moment before speaking.
"You can say I barely got my life back," Yang Cheng said with a bitter smile, "Isn"t that the same for you as well?"
He looked at the young man as he said, "Before, even though your situation was better than mine, it was not by much."
"That is true," the young man nodded, "At least I was able to stay conscious and watch what happened, rather than falling unconscious like someone."
"You…" Yang Cheng was speechless and instinctively wanted to refute him, but he did not know what to say.
After all, what the young man said was true.
"Alright." Looking at Yang Cheng, the young man laughed and said, "What do we do now? We"ve achieved our goal: for us to have obtained the Cursed Item and stay alive, that is the best-case scenario.
"However, we should have a good think about what we should do now."
Hearing the young man"s words, Yang Cheng could not help but frown, "Since we"ve obtained the Cursed Item, then we should be able to deal with the curse on Xiao Lan"s body.
"However, from how things seem, we don"t need the Cursed Item to deal with the curse energy in her body," Yang Cheng said as he looked at the young man.
The reason why the two of them had gone into the Cursed Land was to obtain a Cursed Item to suppress the curse in a certain person"s body.
However, from the current situation, it seemed that they would not need to use the Cursed Item to deal with that person"s curse energy.
"Indeed."
Hearing Yang Cheng"s words, the young man gave a bitter smile as he said, "I feel the same. That boy has a strange energy that can suppress and deal with the curse energy in our bodies.
"Moreover, her curse energy has not even broken out. Given Xiao Lan"s situation, perhaps that boy can help and get rid of the curse energy."
Speaking to there, the two of them looked at each other and gave bitter smiles.
If they had known that there was such a simple way of dealing with the situation, why would they have taken the risk to go into the Cursed Land and fight for their lives?
However, at the end of the day, they had made some gains.
At the very least, they had obtained a Cursed Item.
That was quite a valuable gain.
Cursed Items were things that represented the origins of curse energy, and in a sense, they were the most mysterious things in this world and contained unbelievable power.
With a Cursed Item, no matter what they did in the future, they would feel more confidence.
Moreover, they also knew that boy"s address.
This meant that if they ran into any problems, they could go to find him.
This was extremely good news for them.
"I can sense that the curse in my body has returned to its original state," Yang Cheng sensed the situation in his body as he said, "The effects from the curse have disappeared, and I feel the same as when I first took in the curse."
"I"m the same," the young man smiled and said, "Looks like even if we can"t find other ways to deal with our curses, if we keep on repeating this, we"ll be able to live for much longer."
Those who accepted curses usually did not live for long.
This was because the curse would gradually corrupt ordinary flesh and blood, causing one to gradually become a curse.
Because of this, those who came into contact with curses usually did not live for long.
However, given their situation, perhaps this would not be the case for them.
Whenever they reached their limits, they could go to find the boy to cleanse them.
This was like a periodical detoxification, which allowed them to enjoy the benefits of using curse energy while also reducing the problems.
It sounded like a free pa.s.s.
Sitting there, the two of them thought of the same thing and vigorously shook their heads.
"What do we do now?"
The young man thought about the current situation as he looked at Yang Cheng and asked, "Should we tell the others about that Cursed Land?"
"Definitely," Yang Cheng frowned as he said, "Given the scale of that Cursed Land from before, if we don"t tell the others and it explodes out, everything will be too late.
"We have come into many Cursed Lands before, but none of them could compare to that Cursed Land."
He gave a bitter smile as he said, "This is most likely a top-tier Cursed Land, and if it breaks out, the entire city might be caught up.
"If that happens, everything will be too late. As such, we need to let them know."
He frowned as he spoke.
"Let me try," the young man frowned and said, "I have that woman"s contact. It shouldn"t be a problem for her to pa.s.s the information up."
"That vicious woman?"
Yang Cheng nodded and immediately understood who the young man was referring to.
After being in this line of business for many years, they knew some people in the government.
It was just that their relations.h.i.+p with the government was a bit awkward, so it was not convenient for them to contact many people.
..............
However, they could use a certain person to pa.s.s this news up.
Following this, they began to act.
...
As time pa.s.sed, the sky began to darken.
It was a bit foggy outside, making the air quite damp.
Occasionally, Chen Heng would pa.s.s by some streetlights, illuminating his path.
Chen Heng casually walked on the path, his bag on his back.
Compared to when he went to find Yang Cheng and the young man, this time, he used his legs to slowly walk.
As such, by the time he got home, it was completely dark.
Just as usual, he walked into his neighbourhood and returned home.
However, different from before, there was someone inside this time.
Within the living room, the light was on.
On the table, there were dishes placed there, looking like they had been there for a while.
"You"re back?" a voice sounded out.
Hearing this, Chen Heng looked over.
A woman"s figure appeared.
She was wearing a black jacket and was quite tall and slim. She had delicate looks and was quite pretty.
She stood in front of the table and placed a dish down.
Following this, she looked at Chen Heng grumpily, "You little rascal. I worked overtime and thought you would be home already. However, only after I got back and finished cooking did you get home."
"I ran into some things on the way home," Chen Heng smiled as he said softly, "I also went to the church, which took up some time."
His expression did not change as he used the church as his excuse.
"Church? a.s.sistant?"
Hearing Chen Heng"s words, the woman felt a bit surprised but just nodded, "Come and eat."
Chen Heng nodded and put his things down as he walked towards the table.
This was his sister in this world, Chen Rou.
While Chen Heng was still in middle school, this sister of his was already a working adult.
She was normally quite busy and not at home much.
After eating dinner, Chen Heng tried to go back to his room, but Chen Rou would not let him off; she dragged him over and began to lecture him.
The contents of the lecture were quite normal, which was about being careful outside, being wary of others…
If he was an ordinary teenager, he would have long since become annoyed.
However, Chen Heng was fine. He smiled and earnestly listened, occasionally nodding, and seeming quite patient.
This made Chen Rou feel quite surprised, but she took this opportunity to lecture him with even greater force.
However, soon, her phone rang.
"What?"
Looking at her phone, Chen Rou was quite displeased, but she still picked it up.
"It"s me," a young man"s voice sounded out.
Hearing that voice, Chen Rou"s expression changed as she frowned.
She glanced at Chen Heng before walking aside to talk.
"Why did you suddenly contact me?"
After walking away, Chen Rou"s expression became cold as she spoke icily, "If I remember correctly, you and Yang Cheng still owe me, right?"
"Last time was unexpected," the young man spoke awkwardly.
Within the café, the young man and Yang Cheng looked at each other, both of them feeling quite awkward.
This was why they did not want to contact the government"s people.
In the past, because of the way they did things, they had offended almost everyone.
Chen Rou was one of them.
