Chapter 551: The Cursed City (Medium)
Adullah's father looked at the city blankly, and saw that it seemed to be a city in an oasis, but it was very majestic, much more majestic than the city of Qiuziqian, which was still under construction at that time.
And the people in this city can be clearly seen, Adura's father, and even the expressions of everyone in this city.
He thought he had come across a lost city, and he shouted loudly, but no one responded.
Adullah's father had walked in the desert for a long time, and it soon became clear to him that this might not be a real city, but a mirage.
"No, isn't the mirage a refraction of the air produced by the extreme temperature difference? The desert is so cold at night, it doesn't have the conditions to produce a mirage......"
When Su Peng heard this, he was slightly puzzled, but he continued to listen.
The mirage was so realistic that Adullah could even see the expressions of everyone in the city, as if it were right in front of him.
Hungry and thirsty, almost desperate, Adullah's father could only lie in the desert and look at the city.
Adullah's father, who was on the verge of life and death, had no motivation to continue and lost interest in everything, but the scene in the illusory city quickly shocked him.
I saw that in this mirage-like city, a large-scale massacre was taking place.
He saw that the city was full of people dressed in black, armed with weapons, who gathered all the civilians in the city in the streets and began to massacre.
The images were brutal, even exterminating, with pregnant women having their bellies dissected, unformed babies being dragged out and trampled to pulp by horses. People were tied to pillars and burned alive......
These are quite normal, and the rest of the scenes produced are even more cruel than this, even beyond human imagination.
The screams of those slaughtered could be heard by Abdullah's father, and he could even feel the smell of blood wafting from that illusory city, which greatly stimulated Adullah's father.
And the killing in the imaginary city, after some time, all the civilians were killed. Those men in black actually started suicide.
They did not kill each other, but some of them were tied up and willing to be slaughtered by others.
In this way, civilians and men in black are killed less and less, and when they reach the bottom, only a hundred men in black are left, still alive.
It was at this time. An extremely tall bald man appeared among these black-clothed men, this bald man, who kept saying something in his mouth. The men in black, all kneeling in front of the man, seemed to be chanting some kind of prayer.
After that, the bald man was holding a scimitar. Walk down, one by one, and cut off the heads of those men in black.
The men in black were just kneeling there. Willingly killed by bald men, until the last one.
When the bald man had killed the last black man, he suddenly looked up to the sky and looked into the air, as if by some unusual refraction, and met the gaze of Adullah's father, who was watching the mirage.
Adullah's father screamed and jumped up, but at this time, the illusion in the desert disappeared at once, and there was nothing left.
Adullah's father was stimulated by the terrifying image, and he exploded his survival potential, and he developed some physical strength, and he crawled out of here.
However, as he passed through the illusionary desert, he felt that he had stepped on something and almost tripped over it, and he looked at it and saw that it was a barrel that looked like a gold product.
Adullah's father, by a ghost, picked up the object and continued his quest for survival.
In this way, relying on the potential that inexplicably burst out that night, he walked for two more nights and a day, until he encountered a caravan crossing the desert, and was rescued.
After being rescued, Adullah's father, who followed the caravan, came to Otsuki Country, and he didn't want to negotiate a life in Run, so he found a job in Otsuki and lived in Otsuki.
And the barrel obtained in the moonlight, he studied it for a while, and stumbled upon it, this thing actually had a peculiar function.
It seems that as long as a person's hair or blood is in a barrel, a person's luck can be reduced.
……
"Can you change your luck?" When Su Peng heard this, his heart moved, and suddenly he sounded an attribute that he had been ignoring.
When I entered the game, it seemed that there was luck in the basic attributes, but later I found that this thing didn't have a big impact on me, so I didn't pay attention to it.
Originally, Su Peng thought that this attribute was a passive attribute and would not change, but at this time, it sounded like it was not a luck attribute, could it be changed?
It's just that Adullah's story is not finished, and Su Peng continues to listen.
……
Adulla's father thought it was just an accident, but after using it a few times, he realized that it was a real thing.
After learning about this function of the barrel, Adullah's father was very agile and began to use it to make money.
At first, he just messed around the casino, and after using this to reduce the luck of a certain target, he began to gamble in the opposite direction and use it to make money.
After receiving a certain amount of money, his father trusted the power of the barrel more and more, and began to do some other things, and gradually, he became a somewhat famous mage in Otsuki.
In this way, he accumulated a large amount of wealth, but because of some wise and self-protective ideas from the Central Plains, he deliberately controlled his fame and stopped in his thirties.
After that, he married a big moon woman, who was Adura's mother, and gave birth to Adula after less than a year of marriage.
At this point, it can be regarded as a good ending, but it does not end there.
When Adullah was seven years old, his family was suddenly stolen, and in addition to some money, the mysterious prayer barrel was also stolen.
Since then, Adulla's family has been doomed one after another.
In just three years, there were four consecutive fires in Adullah's home, losing a lot of money, and Adullah's two-year-old sister was also burned to death in one fire.
In Adulla's home, there were a series of robbers, and Adullah's mother also encountered robbers head-on and was stabbed to death with a knife, and the murderer was never caught.
Adullah's father, after becoming a mage, had been investing in caravans with his wealth, and had made a lot of money every year, but in those three years, those caravans either encountered horse bandits, sandstorms, or damaged goods, or the caravan leader donated money and fled, and suffered heavy financial losses.
Adullah's father himself, and during these three years, suffered from a strange disease, his body seemed to be constantly drying, as if it had lost moisture, and there were many black spots, and it looked more and more like a mummy monster.
It wasn't until three years later that the originally good mansion of the Adulla family was changed again and again, and finally moved from the mansion of the Great Moon Country to the very dilapidated old mansion slum, and fell from the upper class of the Great Moon Country to the bottom.
In the end, Abdullah's father was on the bed in a poor slum house, suffering from a strange illness, dying, and his body was like a mummy, and only Abdullah took care of it alone.
Adullah also didn't understand why his life would become like this, so unlucky, from a rich child, to this, but he was naturally strong and insisted on taking care of his father.
It wasn't until his father reached the last days of his life that he called Adullah, who was precocious because of his ordeal, to his bedside and told him about what had happened to him in the past.
And Abdullah's father's last words were: "Abdullah, I thought it was my luck to encounter that phantom city in the desert, but now I realize that it was not luck, but a curse...... It was a cursed city, and I did what I shouldn't have done and brought the curse back...... Adullah, I dragged down your mother and your sister, I don't want you to drag you down, you must find a way to crack this ...... Cursed ......" (To be continued......
