Chapter 608 - Curse
On this night.
2: 30 a.m.
Chu Luo suddenly woke up from her sleep.
Li Yan, who was hugging her, instantly felt it. He opened his eyes and caressed her back. “Luoluo, what’s wrong?”
“I sense the talisman on Taozi.”
After saying that, she quickly sat up, lifted the blanket, and was about to get off the bed.
Li Yan also sat up. “What are you doing now?”
“Use my tracking talisman to determine their exact location.”
Chu Luo was about to walk out.
Li Yan quickly grabbed her wrist. “Put on a coat first.”
After saying that, he went over to put her coat on her.
When Chu Luo was putting on a coat, he also put one on.
Only then did the two of them walk out.
There was a room specially prepared for Chu Luo beside the study on the second floor. There was a lot of yellow paper and cinnabar without talismans, as well as some other things.
After Chu Luo entered, she quickly lit a few candles and drew a tracking talisman.
After a few seconds, she said to Li Yan, “Taozi and the others are at the abandoned harbor we went to last time.”
Li Yan moved the communicator on his ear. “Go to the abandoned harbor immediately.”
After saying that, Chu Luo asked Phoenix to teleport her over.
Li Yan grabbed her wrist. “Change your clothes first. It’s snowing outside. It’s cold.”
The two of them were wearing pajamas inside and a coat outside. It was indeed not good to go out like this.
However, Chu Luo was a little anxious, so she cast a spell and changed their clothes.
Then, Phoenix teleported them to the place where the tracking talisman was tracking them.
Cold winds blew and snowflakes fluttered. The sea breeze blew, making people almost unable to open their eyes.
Other than these, the surroundings were very quiet, making people unable to feel any human aura here.
Li Yan held Chu Luo’s hand tightly and used his body to block the wind in front of her. The two of them quickly walked towards the abandoned ship on the shore. When they reached the abandoned ship, Chu Luo pulled Li Yan and said to him, “Yan, this ship is cursed.”
“What curse?”
Chu Luo sensed it. “One won’t be able to come out after entering.” After saying that, she made him stand at the side. “I’ll go in and take a look. Don’t go in.”
Li Yan frowned. “No, I’ll go in with you.”
With her hand clenched by his, Chu Luo couldn’t leave even if she wanted to. In the end, she thought for a while and nodded.
The two of them walked in together.
When she entered, her body suddenly emitted red flames that quickly surrounded Li Yan through her hand.
The flames were actually not affected by the wind and snow at all.
As she walked, she said to Li Yan, “I’ll get Phoenix to protect us.”
As they spoke, they walked into the ship.
There was already a thin layer of snow on the deck. Wherever they passed, there seemed to be the sound of ice being unsealed.
When she reached the cabin door, Chu Luo pushed it open.
The flames on their bodies instantly lit up the space inside. Daddy Wang and Mommy Wang, who were lying on the floor, weren’t moving. It looked like the situation was kind of bad. “Uncle Wang, Auntie Wang.”
The two of them quickly walked up to Daddy Wang and Mommy Wang. Chu Luo squatted down and checked on them. She caressed their bodies with her palm. After using a trace of the power of a priest, their pale faces looked a little better.
While Chu Luo was doing this, Li Yan looked around warily.
After a while, Daddy Wang woke up first. Chu Luo quickly asked, “Uncle Wang, where’s Taozi?”
After Daddy Wang was stunned for a moment, his expression changed and he hurriedly said, “Little Chu, quickly save Taozi. He was taken away by a few people with fish tails.” “Merfolk?”
Chu Luo frowned even more.
At this moment, Mommy Wang also woke up. When she saw Chu Luo and Li Yan, she broke down and started crying.
Chu Luo quickly helped her up and suppressed the anger in her heart. She asked, “Auntie Wang, don’t cry first. What exactly is going on?”
At this moment, Li Yan also went over to help Daddy Wang sit up.
Daddy Wang had a regretful expression. “That morning, Taozi suddenly called and said that he wanted to bring a girl over for us to take a look. At that time, we were wondering why he suddenly said that he wanted to bring a girl to show us when he was obviously supposed to be in class.
“Taozi insisted and even said that he had someone to tutor him, so we agreed.
“The girl he brought looked gentle and elegant, and especially likable. At that time, we thought that Taozi had gotten lucky. “Unexpectedly, at lunch, the girl suddenly received a call. She said that something had happened to her family and she started crying. She even told us that she only had one grandmother and no other relatives. She didn’t know what to do if something happened to her family.
“At that time, we saw her crying so sadly and helplessly. Since it was the girl Taozi liked and her house was only three to four hours away from here, I discussed it with his mother and we decided to send the girl back.
“Unexpectedly, we fainted as soon as the car drove out of the capital.”
At this point, Daddy Wang looked like he was about to break down.
“When we woke up, we were in a very sealed room. We knew that something had happened. At that time, we wanted to ask you for help, but we didn’t know what to do. Later on, Taozi used his forehead to hit the wall. After he bled, the talisman on his body spontaneously combusted.”
The more Daddy Wang spoke, the more he regretted it. In the end, he started crying. “Those people realized it immediately and knocked us out. Taozi, he… Taozi, he…”
Wang Mingtao must have been taken away by those people.
Chu Luo pursed her lips and her heart tightened. She quickly stood up and said to Li Yan, “I’ll go after these people.” “Luoluo.” Li Yan stopped her and took out a tracker from his pocket. “Take this with you.”
Chu Luo nodded, took the tracker, and walked out of the cabin.
Li Yan watched as Chu Luo walked out with a cold expression.
At this moment, he moved the communicator on his ear and said to the other party, “Drive a sub over.”
After saying that, he said to Daddy Wang and Mommy Wang, “My men will come and take you away soon. Don’t worry, we’ll find a way to bring him back.”
Although Li Yan’s voice was very cold, it had a powerful domineering aura that comforted people. The Wang couple felt a little more at ease for no reason.
They quickly nodded at Li Yan. Li Yan turned to chase after her.
When he went out, Chu Luo was already gone.
Li Yan quickly took out his phone and tapped on it a few times before quickly locating her.
Chu Luo used a boat conjured by the talisman to give chase.
As she let Phoenix sense Wang Mingtao’s aura, she quickly gave chase.
After chasing for about half an hour, she finally saw a black shadow in front.
The black shadow obviously realized that she was chasing after it. After a splash, two figures separated from the black shadow and blocked her way.
Looking at the merfolk who quickly blocked the way, Chu Luo snorted. “Two mere merfolk want to stop me?”
After saying that, she quickly threw a talisman above their heads.
Rumble! Rumble!
Amid the thunder, the two merfolk weren’t killed. Instead, they quickly attacked her.
“Robots.”
Chu Luo hadn’t expected these two merfolk to be robots. When their hands turned into guns and they fired at her, Chu Luo quickly set up a barrier for herself. Then, she took out a laser gun and was about to shoot.
The two robot merfolk were overturned by a huge wave.
The talisman paper boat under Chu Luo’s feet started shaking
After the two merfolk were overturned, a sub surfaced and quickly fired lasers at them from the sub’s mouth.
Soon, the two robot merfolk became a pile of ruins that was swept away by the waves.
The sub chased after the merfolk.
Chu Luo followed.
Then, Chu Luo, Li Yan, the merfolk, and the robots engaged in a fierce battle. When she finally caught up to Wang Mingtao, Chu Luo immediately felt a powerful and dangerous aura when she saw him.
She quickly sent Li Yan a message. “Yan, leave quickly. This isn’t Taozi. He’s carrying a very powerful weapon.”
Li Yan reacted quickly and drove the sub away.
Then, the fake Wang Mingtao’s body exploded.
The intensity of the explosion was equivalent to the power of a bomb.
The light wave instantly affected the entire sea.
Huge waves swept over…
A red light flashed in the light wave and Chu Luo and Li Yan arrived on shore.
“Cough, cough…”
The two of them coughed a few times from the light wave before they recovered.
Li Yan pulled Chu Luo into his arms and patted her back even though he was feeling terrible.
At the same time, he said to the person on the communicator, “Chase them immediately.”
Chu Luo retreated from Li Yan’s arms after a few seconds. She looked at the sea with a cold expression and shouted, “Phoenix, deal with all those things.”
A red light suddenly appeared, and a phoenix covered in flames flew over at an extremely fast speed.
Li Yan grabbed Chu Luo’s hand but didn’t stop her. Instead, he quickly ordered his men, “Seal this area immediately.”
It was impossible for anyone to come here at this time. Li Yan was just a little worried.
The two of them stood on the shore and waited for a while before Li Yan’s phone rang.
It was an unknown number, obviously hacked. He immediately guessed who it was and said to Chu Luo, “It’s from Ink Feather’s men.” With that, he swiped the answer button and turned on the speaker.
A cold mechanical voice came from the other end. “Hand over the gaming capsule technology and cell regeneration experiment data, or I’ll kill your friend.”
Then, Wang Mingtao’s scream could be heard.
“How would I know that after you hand over these two things, you’ll let him go… Don’t hurt him. I’ll consider it.”
Li Yan hung up.
Chu Luo looked at him.
Li Yan said, “These people won’t do anything to him for now, but after we hand over the things, he’ll be dead.”
Chu Luo also thought of this. Although she was unwilling to accept it, this was the truth.
Now that Wang Mingtao was taken away, if they didn’t save him this time, he definitely wouldn’t be able to live.
At the thought of this, Chu Luo’s heart couldn’t help but tighten.
Li Yan grabbed her hand. “We’ll avenge him soon.”
Chu Luo lowered her eyes to conceal the pain in her heart and hatred for Ink Feather. She nodded.
