Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

"It’s a dead end?" Seeing this, the girl felt panicked.

Ahead was a thick wall, and there was no way to continue to advance.

Behind her, the soft footsteps continued to sound out.

Sensing this, cold sweat broke all over the girl’s body.

"What do I do… What do I do…" She thought to herself, feeling completely helpless.

Fortunately, in the last moment, she found another route.

It was a very secretive door that seemed to blend in with its surroundings, making it difficult to detect.

In front of the door, there was a small plaque, on which something was written.

"No entry?" Looking at that plaque, the girl did not hesitate and rushed in.

By now, she had no choice.

What surprised her was that this door was not locked, and was easily opened.

Following this, she rushed in and found a place to hide.

Behind her, the soft footsteps continued to sound out.

The girl’s body trembled as she held her breath, but in the end, the strange existence did not find her and ambled off.

This caused the girl to feel some hope.

"It didn’t find me…" She deeply breathed in and thought to herself.

It seemed that the creature had not discovered her.

As long as she could time things well, she would be able to shake it off.

This gave her some hope, and she desperately held her breath, hoping that the creature would not notice her.

Outside, things became silent, as if the curse had left.

However, the girl still did not dare to move.

Only after a while did she dare to let down her guard and took in a deep breath.

"Looks like it’s gone," She muttered to herself.

However, at that moment, some sounds rang out.

Bang!

A soft sound could be heard in the quiet room.

Hearing this, the girl’s expression changed.

Had it not left, and been waiting this whole time?

She quickly noticed this possibility and felt a chill all over her body.

Because of her voice just then, her position had most likely been exposed.

There was no space to move in this enclosed space, and there was no way to make it outside.

Soft footsteps began to sound out again, becoming clearer and clearer.

Thump… thump…

Through the cracks, the girl could see a humanoid figure walking towards her.

"Am I… going to die?" She thought to herself.

However, just as it was about to reach her, that figure suddenly stopped.

A strange energy seemed to fill the surroundings and rush forwards.

Sitting there, the girl could clearly see a golden light appear in the stone coffin in front of her.

Immediately, the dark room was illuminated.

Being covered by that golden light, the strange figure froze and roared, seeming reluctant and despairing.

Under the light, its body gradually became transparent before disappearing.

In that moment, the curse which had killed countless lives disappeared as if it had never been there.

"This is…" Seeing this, the girl was stunned.

She was also covered by the light, but rather than being hurt by it, it made her feel warm, as if she had returned to her mother’s embrace.

She felt incredibly safe, and did not have to worry about any dangers.

However, the light gradually subsided and disappeared, as did that feeling.

Only then did the girl come to her senses and feel a sense of loss.

Following this, she looked over at the stone coffin.

The stone coffin looked quite normal, and seemed like an antique. However, she had no idea why it was in a place like this.

"Is there a corpse inside?" The girl wondered.

If it was a coffin, then there should be a corpse within it.

But why did this stone coffin contain such great power?

The girl did not know.

However, she knew that this stone coffind definitely was not ordinary, and was most likely some kind of holy item.

After hesitating for a moment, she earnestly kowtowed towards the coffin to express her thanks.

Following this, she cautiously left this place and covered up any traces of her being here.

Time gradually passed.

In the following few months, the girl’s life returned to normal.

She was not bothered by curse energy, nor was she put into danger.

She returned to school and enjoyed life with her friends and classmates.

Hwoeve,r one day, the surroundings began to change.

One day, she looked up and seem to be hazy figures approaching.

Figures hidden in black fog slowly rushed over, and within the fog, there seemed to be a terrifying existence silently opening its eyes.

As those violent and terrifying red eyes opened, they looked as if they were going to devour the world, and suck her soul away.

In that moment, the girl was startled awake.

"Student Ren Yaoyao," The teacher said, "Is everything alright?"

"I’m fine." The girl nodded and replied.

The teacher did not say anything and only nodded.

"What happened just then?" After class, her friend walked over and asked, "Your expression looks pretty bad…"

"It’s

"You should go see a doctor then."

Ren Yaoyao and her friend continued to chat.

While they talked, Ren Yaoyao thought to herself.

"Was it a hallucination?"

Thinking to that scene filled with black fog, as well as those hazy figures and red eyes, her expression became quite grim.

That scene had left a deep impression in her mind, making her unsure of whether it was real or not.

If she did not have those experiences in the past, she definitely would not be confused.

"I might need to rest for a while…" She said before giving a bitter smile.

As time went on, she calmed down and did not continue to think about this.

However, soon, she noticed that something was off.

"What is that?" Sitting there, she heard a cry from the side.

Hearing this, she instinctively looked over and felt stunned.

In the distance, dense black fog had appeared.

The black fog came from the distance and initially looked quite thin, but as time passed, it became denser and denser, until it became impossible to see past it.

"It’s fog! Black fog!" Seeing this scene, everyone felt quite scared.

Over the past few years, this phenomenon had become more common in the world, until it could not be covered up anymore.

The black fog had come to be known as the precursor to a crisis.

In this world, even children knew what this black fog represented.

It represented a terrifying disaster which would cause countless people to die.

Thinking to there, many people began to tremble.

Compared to the others, Ren Yaoyao could see things that others could not.

Standing there, she could see the figures hidden within the black fog.

Theyw ere all curses and had different appearances. However, they al gave off suffocatingly terrifying power.

Even without facing these curses, Ren Yaoyao’s body trembled.

Compared to the others, she had much more experience, and had faced off against a curse before.

However, the scene before her had innumerable curses, and they covered the entire land.

Even with her experience, she could not help but feel terrified.

"Curses…" Her face was pale as she thought to herself, "Why is it like this…"

Ordinarily speaking, there would usually be early warnings before the black fog.

The government’s people would notify all people in the affected regions to leave; as such, even if the black fog appeared, there usually were not too many casualties.

However, there were no notices this time.

The black fog had suddenly appeared in front of them; under such circumstances, what could they do?

Everyone thought to themselves and felt despair.

In the distance, shouts sounded out, accompanied by cries for help.

In the black fog, many people had already fallen victim to the creatures within.

Hearing those voices, Ren Yaoyao came back to her senses; she understood that she could not just stay here.

The curses were incredibly fast, and if they waited for the black fog to cover this area, no one would survive.

When that time came, they would have to rely on luck.

They had to do something.

Following this, she gritted her teeth and looked at her friends as she said, "Let’s go!"

"Go?" Her friends stared at her hazily, "Where can we go? There isn’t a church nearby…"

Churches were the only places that could restrict these curses.

Ever since the Holy Son had descended, the Holy Mother’s divine power in this world seemed to have been activated.

Any church with the Holy Son’s statue would suppress curses to a certain extent, making it so that they could not unleash too much power.

As such, whenever most people encountered curses, they would immediately go to a church and pray for protection.

It was a pity that within this city, there was no such church.

After all, this was just a small city, and there were only one or two abandoned churches, and they were in remote areas.

If they tried to go now, they would die before they arrived there.

"I know a place…" Ren Yaoyao gritted her teeth and looked around as she said in a loud voice, "There is a holy item in the museum nearby! If we can get there, we might be able to live!"

Hearing this, the people in the surroundings all began to talk, as if they had seen a chance at life.

"A holy item?"

"Are you sure?"

"Could there really be a holy item in that run-down museum?"

So-called holy items were things left behind back when the Holy Son had descended.

Before Chen Heng had left, under Chen Rou and the Ten Star Sect’s request, he had used his divine energy to leave behind large numbers of holy items.

Moreover, the blood that had been extracted from him also contained supernatural power, and could suppress curses.

Those things were called holy items, and were the most precious things in the world.

They were incredibly rare and each of them were of astronomical value.

For their local museum to have something like this, this was something completely unexpected.

Of course, Ren Yaoyao was not completely sure.

It was just that when she had seen that light and felt that warmth, it reminded her of the warmth that she had felt within a Holy Mother Church.

That was why she had guessed that there was a holy item there.

Perhaps that person in the stone coffin had been a rich noble, which was why a holy item had been buried without him without anyone noticing.

That was her guess, but she had no way of verifying it.

"If we don’t go over, our outcome here will be the same," she said, before dragging her friend out.

Seeing this, everyone came to a realisation.

Indeed, by now, even if they stayed here, they would just be waiting for death.

Rather than that, it was better to trust her and have a look.

Thinking to there, many people began to run out.

The people from this classroom also attracted others to join them.

Under such circumstances, people would often blindly follow large groups.

Following this, a large number of people rushed out.

The museum was not too far away from Ren Yaoyao’s school, and they soon arrived.

It was still daytime, and there were still people working in the museum, unlike the last time Ren Yaoyao had come here.

"What are you all doing?" Seeing a large crowd rush over, one of the workers looked confused.

"There’s no time to explain." Ren Yaoyao ignored the workers and rushed in.

"Please be there…" As she ran, she silently prayed that the stone coffin would still be there.

Fortunately, when she arrived at that familiar corridor and entered that room, the coffin was still there.

The stone coffin silently lay in the room, still covered by thick dust.

Seeing this, the girl relaxed a bit.

"Everyone, help me carry this coffin out!" She shouted.

Hearing this, many people stared..
