"Because I suspect that the 'Blood Red Bride' is on you, and I want the 'Blood Red Bride' to make my graduation resume better, but I can't deal with you alone.
So, I found him."
Wang Chen, who had already opened his heart to Fang Rui, explained without any concealment.
"Well...then I can't blame you entirely. It's also my fault that I like to wear the 'Blood Red Bride' logo on my body."
"I like to put the logo on my body when I have nothing to do. Are you serious?" Although Wang Chen was a little drunk and Fang Rui didn't have much precaution left, it didn't mean that she had no judgment.
Do you want to say that the leader of the Hongye Gang, who wears such a sensitive symbol as the 'Blood Red Bride' on his body, is just a personal hobby?
She didn't believe it.
"If we really want to talk about the purpose, maybe it is to create a sense of mystery."
Fang Rui knew what Wang Chen wanted to ask, so he explained simply:
"You should have been able to feel it the first time you met me. As the leader of the Red Leaf Gang, my main task is to act mysterious. Putting a 'Blood Red Bride' logo on me and occasionally showing it can effectively help me pretend to be cool.
Anyway, there aren’t many people around here who can recognize this mark.”
"But why do you want to create this mystery?"
"If you don't have enough strength, you have to use your skills to make up for it." Fang Rui explained without hesitation:
"I am not a curser. After my physical strength reaches D level, my strength basically stops improving. If I want to calm down the situation for the Red Leaf Gang, I can only pretend to be mysterious."
"Then you are not afraid that one day someone who recognizes the 'Blood Red Bride' symbol will come to your door?"
"I'm afraid! But I'm not a curser. If someone comes to me, it will be very simple to explain clearly."
"Then why when Xu Bufan came to you, you didn't explain, but instead teased him?" Wang Chen asked incomprehensively.
Fang Rui's previous explanation barely made sense, but it didn't make sense at all when it came to the conflict between Xu Bufan and him.
"Will my explanation be useful? Or, given his character, if I explain, will he spare my life?" Fang Rui spread his hands without answering the question.
"..." Wang Chen fell silent.
If before Xu Bufan came to the 24th District, she might have told Fang Rui on her promise.
But after seeing Xu Bufan's reckless and reckless behavior in District 24, she was a little unsure.
And if she was not sure, then Fang Rui seemed to have even less reason to believe that Xu Bufan would be merciful.
After trying to understand Fang Rui's psychology, Wang Chen asked without answering:
"But isn't the risk of playing tricks on him greater?"
"The risk is high, but I can take the initiative in my own hands. As for how I take the initiative, I won't brag and explain it to you. You were also at the banquet and could see it all.
"
"I saw it, but aren't you afraid that Zhao Wuyan will not accept your employment?"
"It's impossible to say that I'm not afraid. But I'm relatively confident that he will accept it. After all, it's hard for a C-level curser to refuse something like purple jade crystal, even if it means risking offending the young city lord of District 11.
Of course, there is a possibility that he will not accept it, so there is still a risk of failure.
But rather than passively entrusting my life to whether Xu Bufan is in a good mood or willing to let me go, I am more willing to actively bet my life on things that I am more sure of.
To put it bluntly, I am not actually afraid of death, but I am afraid of dying in a useless and passive way."
When Fang Rui said these words, the indescribable confidence in his eyebrows and the indifference to death revealed in his words made Wang Chen stunned for a moment.
She felt as if she was not talking to an eighteen-year-old boy, but instead listening to a well-known and battle-hardened marshal, speaking calmly about his past near-death successes.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Rui noticed something strange about Wang Chen.
"I feel like you don't look like an eighteen-year-old boy. You are much more mature and profound than your peers." Wang Chen said with emotion.
"There is no other way." Fang Rui spread his hands somewhat helplessly and said:
"As a non-cursed person, if you want to fight for power and gain a place in this world where the cursed person is king, you must think more than the cursed person and be more unafraid of death than others."
"Then..." Wang Chen opened his mouth and hesitated, but after hesitating again and again, he still held back his curiosity and said:
"Then why don't you become a cursed person? As the leader of the Red Leaf Gang, it shouldn't be difficult for you to obtain a suitable cursed object and become a cursed person safely, right?"
‘I have stressed so many times whether I am a cursed person or not! Are you finally willing to ask this question?!’
After hearing Wang Chen's question, Fang Rui was ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface he hesitated in a reserved manner before speaking with some bitterness:
"It's not as simple as you think. My physique is very special. The scientific researchers from our gang who specialize in testing the conditions for identifying the owner of cursed objects have done a detailed physical examination for me. My physique is not compatible with various types of cursed objects.
If you want to become a curser, you need to face more than 50% risk of failure.
Therefore, if there are other ways to become stronger, I am still not prepared to take the risk."
"Are the other ways to become stronger you are referring to body training?"
"Yes, although body training is a lot harder and more tiring, at least for me it is a 100% safe way to become stronger."
"But didn't you just say that after you reach D level, your strength has not improved much?"
"Yes! So, I should try to become a curser in the near future."
"So fast?" Wang Chen couldn't help frowning and worried:
"The price of failed attempts is death! You are still so young, so you may not be able to find other ways to become stronger. There is no need to try and take this risk so early, right?"
"Indeed, I have had similar thoughts to you before, so I don't think it's urgent. But... ha..." As if he thought of something bad, Fang Rui suddenly curled up his lips in a self-deprecating manner, picked up the bottle, and drank heavily.
After a few mouthfuls, he said with slightly red eyes:
"But after experiencing the humiliation of being captured by Xu Bufan and being tortured like a guinea pig yesterday, but unable to resist, my mentality has changed. I am extremely eager to become stronger. I don't want to experience such humiliation a second time.
So, I decided to take this risk. As I told you before, I am not afraid of death, I am just afraid of dying in vain.
Rather than stagnating in strength and encountering the same powerless humiliation as yesterday in the future, I would rather risk my life and take the initiative to gamble on the opportunity to become stronger."
"I'm sorry..." Feeling Fang Rui's strong unwillingness coming out of his body at this moment, Wang Chen lowered his head guiltily and apologized:
"In the final analysis, I still have to blame for this matter. If I hadn't called Xu Bufan without investigating clearly, you wouldn't have suffered such humiliation."
"Isn't that just..."
"I know you don't blame me! But I feel guilty, so let me make it up to you."
"You're going to make it up to me?" Fang Rui was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wang Chen's sexy and delicate collarbone.
"What do you mean by doubt? Do you think I can't come up with..." Fang Rui's questioning words made Wang Chen subconsciously want to complain back, but when she noticed the former's gaze, she suddenly felt ashamed, angry and happy.
He turned his head away, turned his face sideways and said coquettishly:
"What are you thinking about? You little brat!"
"I didn't mean anything. I just think your collarbone is pretty good-looking. Where did you think you were going?"
"Hey! I'm too lazy to argue with you." Wang Chen glared at Fang Rui with slightly red cheeks, then adjusted his mood and said seriously:
"I'm telling you seriously. I can give you a chance to become a curser with 100% safety as compensation for the humiliation I caused you by my reckless behavior."
'It's finally done!'
Fang Rui clenched his fists under the table excitedly, but his expression pretended not to understand and repeated:
"One hundred percent safe chance of becoming a Curse?"
"Yes." Wang Chen nodded and explained:
"Actually, if you fail to match the cursed object and fail to become its host, that is to say, you fail to become the cursed person, and the probability of death is not 100%, because there is a type of people whose cursed object is very special and they are born with it.
The ability to purify curses.”
"The ability to purify curses?" Fang Rui's eyes widened slightly, as if in surprise.
"Yes, although this may sound a bit fanciful to most people, I do have such a friend around me. Since she was born, she has been selected as the host by a cursed object with purification capabilities.
It can be said that he became a cursed person the next second after birth.
Her curse ability is very special. It does not help in combat, nor does it improve her physical fitness. It is even harmless to ordinary people. However, such a useless ability makes her become
The highest special enrollment in our three districts."
"Just because she can purify the curse?"
"Yes, just because she can purify the curse, the price of failure to advance or recognize the master is to be swallowed by the curse, and she can purify the curse, which means that she can help the cursed person who is lower than her level to avoid failure to advance or recognize the master.
Risk of failure.
As for what it means to be promoted or recognized as a master without any risk, as a seller of cursed objects, you should know best, right?"
"Yeah." Fang Rui nodded:
"No matter how much we experiment, because everyone's physique is different and their compatibility with cursed objects is different, the risk of failure to become a curser cannot be avoided. We can only maximize the success rate, and at most it can only be improved to
About ninety-five percent.
Your friend's ability may not be very attractive to ordinary people like us. After all, our lives are relatively cheap, and a 95% success rate is enough for us, and it is worth the gamble.
But for those people from big cities and even the rich and powerful in the capital area, 95% is far from enough. Their lives are precious and they must keep the success rate above 99%, or even 100%.
Therefore, although her ability may make ordinary people feel useless, it is extremely precious and can even be called priceless.
Because in this chaotic world of the New Moon Era, only things that are valuable to the top dignitaries are truly precious things."
"Oh, your understanding of this world is much more thorough than I thought."
"So, you have the ability to invite her to help me?" Fang Rui did not answer Wang Chen's complaint about the world, but asked the question he was most concerned about.
"I have the ability to invite her here, but whether she is willing to help you or not depends on you." Wang Chen corrected Fang Rui's misunderstanding, and explained out of fear that the latter would misunderstand:
"It's not that I don't want to send Buddha to the West, but she has had a weird personality and been quite withdrawn since she was a child. Therefore, I can move her by calling her, but I can't move her."
"I understand!" Fang Rui couldn't help but nodded excitedly, and finally confirmed:
"Can I take the liberty of asking, what is your friend's name?"
