"curse……"

Meng Chao thought again of the little girl Bai Jiacao whose hair turned into flaming purple flames in the memory fragments of his previous life, who looked particularly unorthodox, domineering and cool, and whose temperament had changed drastically.

He shivered.

"That is to say, as long as you are in the depths of the ancient ruins, you will be 'cursed' if you encounter the danger of a narrow escape and survive?"

Meng Chao hurriedly asked, trying to find a way to help the little girl avoid the curse.

"No."

Aji thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The core members of the Blood League have also traveled through the ancient ruins many times and encountered dangers comparable to ours, but not everyone can get the crossed eyes.

"Of course the Blood Alliance wants to study the mystery of the crossed eyes, after all, this tattoo means endless danger, but it also brings mysterious and unpredictable power.

"People with crossed eyes can often awaken more abilities than ordinary extraordinary people, and they also have stronger comprehension, self-healing power, and improvement in all aspects. As long as they don't die, they have a better chance of breaking through the limit of life.

"The problem is, no matter how much the Blood Alliance does research, they can't find the law of the appearance of crossed eyes.

"Sometimes, at any cost, they send an exploration team consisting of hundreds of people to go deep into the ancient ruins, and they encounter all kinds of thrilling dangers. The team is almost wiped out, leaving only one or two survivors.

"These two survivors may not be strong men with both wisdom and courage, but they just don't have crossed eyes.

"There are also times when ordinary people who are clearly powerless are thrown into the ancient ruins as 'cannon fodder' or 'control group' and survived by chance, but crossed eyes appear on their bodies.

"It seems that the curse doesn't just depend on the explorer's performance in the ancient ruins, but also on his physical fitness, cell activity, willpower, ability to adapt to changing circumstances, and even amazing luck...all kinds of strange factors are related.

"Moreover, a very strange thing is that when the ancient ruins were just opened, the probability of the curse falling was the highest. At that time, among the explorers who escaped death, three or four out of ten would have crossed eyes.

"But as more and more cross-eyed owners, the number of new 'cursed ones' gradually decreased.

"After the blood alliance completely occupies the ancient ruins, as I said just now, even if a hundred explorers go on an adventure, there may not be a new cross-eyed owner.

"Analysed by experts from the Blood League, the total number of crossed eyes should be limited. This thing is like a label for the ancient civilization to choose the successor-when the ancient civilization discovers, the explorers who go deep into the ruins have a certain potential to get all of them. The ancient inheritance will put such a label on the explorer.

"The so-called 'potential' is not pure force and wisdom.

"The force and wisdom of people on Earth at this stage are not worth mentioning by the standards of ancient civilizations—just like in the eyes of humans, what is the difference between the strongest ant and the weakest ant?

"If humans really want to find some suitable ants to inherit our civilization, there will naturally be another set of standards and testing methods.

"And when there are enough 'successors' for the test, the ancient ruins will not issue more labels until a certain cross-eyed owner dies, which means he failed the test. Only then can new curses appear."

"I see."

Meng Chao nodded, and then he realized that the little sister Bai Jiacao in the previous life should have inherited his "curse" after the death of a cross-eyed owner, and became the new "successor" or "successor" of the ancient civilization. tester".

Judging from my younger sister's experience of transforming into a night witch and traveling across foreign continents, the ancient civilization is really terrifying!

"So, 'Badao' Jin Wanhao and 'War God' Lei Zongchao are both owners of crossed eyes?"

Meng Chao stared at Aji's heart, and asked with great interest, "Which other supreme powers in Dragon City are the owners of the crossed eyes?"

"Lei Zongchao is indeed, but I don't know more people."

Aji said honestly, "The partners who went deep into the ancient ruins with Jin Wanhao and Lei Zongchao, either died in the fierce battle against the Blood League, or fell in the following decades of arduous wars, even if they really The owners of the crossed eyes, their curse, has long been transferred to the new generation.

"Moreover, this crossed eye tattoo is very weird. It is usually hidden deep in the blood. It will only emerge when it is angry, the spiritual power is out of control, and the magnetic field of life is stirred to the limit. As long as the owner of the crossed eye has the heart Concealment, it is difficult for others to discover his identity.

"I would say that after rejuvenation, the enormous strength of the 'Bad Sword' Jin Wanhao and the immature body of this nine-year-old child cannot be coordinated, and the magnetic field of life often loses control, and the cross-eye tattoo will involuntarily emerge.

"When I practice for another year or so, I can completely control this brand new body, and it should also disappear."

"That's it..."

Meng Chao nodded thoughtfully, and keenly grasped Aji's implication, "Why, the owners of the crossed eyes, don't you want others to know their identities?"

"……Yes."

Aji hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and explained, "First, because the crossed eyes contain mysterious danger and power, it is very likely to represent the inheritance of the ancient civilization, and it is also the core research project of the Blood League. , Therefore, the blood alliance uses the crossed eyes as its badge.

"In the past, under the banner of the Cross Eyes, the Blood Alliance did all kinds of insane and bad things, which caused anger and resentment, and also made the Cross Eyes a symbol of blood, killing, and evil.

"Many members of the Blood League, who are obviously not cursed, also like to tattoo a cross-eye tattoo on their bodies. Over time, all people with cross-eye tattoos are considered to be peerless murderers full of evil. Decades ago In the late end of the world, everyone gets it and punishes it.

"Secondly, and more importantly, some cross-eyed owners also like to kill each other and hunt other cursed people."

"Cannibalism?"

Meng Chao was taken aback, "What's the point?"

"Didn't you just say that the experts of the Blood Alliance believe that the so-called 'crossed eyes' is a label used by the ancient civilization to mark the testers. As long as they complete the test, they can inherit the full power of the ancient civilization."

Aji said with a strange face, "But, have you ever thought about what the content of the test is?"

Meng Chao pondered for a moment, then said, "Continue to explore the ancient ruins?"

"Probably not."

Aji slowly shook his head and said, "There are a lot of people exploring the ancient ruins. Not all of the explorers in the past had crossed eyes; even today, there is still a 'Relic Research Institute' under the Transcendent Tower, with countless elite soldiers and strong generals. And astronomical resources have been invested in the exploration, but it has not been heard that more and stronger cross-eyed owners will emerge, let alone pass the test and obtain all the ancient inheritance.

"So, some cross-eyed owners, after thinking hard for a long time, have a whim, thinking that the so-called 'test' is 'raising Gu'?"

Meng Chao was slightly taken aback: "Nurture Gu?"

"That's right, there are quite a few beast masters in the Beast Control Department of your Agricultural University who are good at breeding and controlling insect monsters. In the monster arena in Nest City, a similar method is used to select the strongest monsters, that is, all insects Or the monsters are imprisoned in a very small space, they are not given enough food, and let them kill each other under the stimulation of hunger. The survivors are the strongest kings!"

Aji said, "These owners of the crossed eyes believe that as long as they kill all the other owners of the crossed eyes and only one of them is left, even if they pass the test, they will be able to inherit all the mysteries and powers of the ancient relics, surpassing the power of human beings." The boundary has become a literal 'Prime Ancient God and Demon'!"

"This, this is too ridiculous!"

Meng Chao was terrified, thought for a while, and said, "Wait, didn't you just say that the total number of cross eyes is constant, and as long as one owner dies, a new curse will come, and a new one will appear. Is it the owner, if so, how can it be possible to kill it?"

"What I said was, 'Only when one owner dies, can a new curse appear'. It may appear, but it does not necessarily appear!"

Aji said, "Besides, this is just the speculation of the Blood League. Perhaps in the long half century, the number of cross-eyed owners has indeed been slowly shrinking, and it has shrunk by half or even a third of what it was back then. What about two?

"You know, many owners of the crossed eyes have tasted the taste of Shura Hell in the depths of the ancient ruins, and have seen countless indescribable things that human beings can't bear, even if they have to leave completely on the surface. In the ancient ruins, their minds have long been distorted beyond human form. Their way of thinking and moral bottom line are completely different from normal people.

"Even if there is only one ten-thousandth chance to get all the 'treasures' in the ancient ruins, these people will do whatever it takes, no matter the cost."

Meng Chao swallowed hard.

He became more and more reluctant to let his younger sister, Bai Jiacao, participate in such a dangerous "raising Gu".

"Isn't it true that all cross-eyed owners are this crazy?" Meng Chao asked tentatively.

"Naturally not all of them. It should be said that only a very small number of cross-eyed owners believe in this 'Gu raising theory'. The problem is that as long as this small group of people start a war, the rest of the cross-eyed owners have no choice. , must fight."

Aji said, "Just imagine, if two cross-eyed owners discover each other's identities, how do they know that the other party is not a lunatic who believes in the 'Gu theory' and doesn't want to kill the other party?

"You know, the owner of the crossed eyes often has stronger power and more secretive skills than ordinary extraordinary people. If they don't preemptively strike, they will die every minute without knowing how!"

Meng Chao thought about it too.

Unpredictable.

The war between humans is often a hundred times crueler than the war between humans and zombies, humans and monsters.

"Fortunately, that was decades ago."

Aji said, "In recent years, I don't know if there are fewer and fewer owners of crossed eyes, or if everyone has learned to be smart and knows how to hide their identities. In short, this pattern appears more and more frequently in Dragon City. Few, most of the information about the crossed eyes is also covered up and monopolized by various forces. It has been a long time since there has been a thrilling secret war between the owners of the crossed eyes.

"Of course, as a person cursed by the ancient relics, you can't relax your vigilance no matter when and where.

"'Bad Sword' Jin Wanhao immediately fled underground when he found out that his strength was exhausted. After I rejuvenated, I did not hesitate to abandon my past identity. On the one hand, it was to avoid the nest city gangs and super corporations, and more importantly, But to avoid other cross-eyed owners—if they find out that I have become like this, they will definitely jump out of the dark corner and put me to death!"
