However, solving this is troublesome because the change only occurs when the person is hit, and after the effects of being hit wear off, it's difficult to detect any problems.

Unless the person is hit a second time.

So, in such situations, we usually have people stay inside the temple or at a nearby hotel. When it happens again, we'll immediately set up a divination altar for them, using the power of the officials to push it back!"

"Ah You."

"Brother Xiao Yuan?"

"Do you know how to curse?"

"Of course not."

"What about your family temple?"

"How could our temple possibly be involved in that? Any individual or Sect with a sense of shame and morality wouldn't do such vile and despicable things, and wouldn't even deign to learn such tricks!"

Lin Shuyou stated this with head held high, chest out, his words resounding firmly.

But for a long time, he did not receive any response from Brother Xiao Yuan.

Suddenly, he was overwhelmed by immense regret.

Lin Shuyou felt like he had said something wrong.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, don't tell me you can?"

After asking this question, Lin Shuyou bit his lip hard, wishing he could slap himself, instantly regretting what he had said.

"Yeah, I can."

Lin Shuyou hung his head low, like a meek wife, gazing at his own closed-toe shoes.

Li Zhiyuan really did know how.

In the "Righteous Demon Extermination Records," Wei Zhengdao harshly criticized cursing, and to further enhance the readers' aversion and awareness of the filthiness of curses, he dissected some of the classic schools of curses in detail.

Li Zhiyuan was also proficient in Face Reading and Fate, which pre-emptively removed the biggest obstacles to learning curse Magic.

But the problem is, spells have their significant limitations, no, defects.

First of all, the success rate of spells is not high, and regardless of the outcome, you have to pay a hefty price.

Secondly, even if it's successful, if the harm caused to the cursed individual is considered 1, the harm to the person cursing is at least above 2.

Therefore, many famous curses in history were cast when a family or country was nearly wiped out, with a sort of reckless abandon.

Besides, those who perform cursing rituals, stick pins in effigies, and use harmful schemes for others in reality are just "bad people" who are confused.

They are often either in miserable circumstances themselves or have family in tragic conditions. In any case, they lead very difficult lives, and to be able to make it through, they continue in this line of work, creating a vicious cycle.

The righteous and prestigious schools don't learn this, not because they are righteous and prestigious, but purely because it is... too costly.

It's like dying a full and glorious death yourself before you can curse someone else's family to devastation.

Therefore, this was also something Li Zhiyuan couldn't understand at the moment.

He had seen Zhou Yunyun just yesterday, and at that time she was still normal, yet to have such a violent effect from a curse overnight, the level of the curse must be very high.

Zhou Yunyun was his senior in high school; although they didn't interact much, he knew that she was an ordinary person from a clean background.

What kind of logic was driving the person who cursed Zhou Yunyun?

To be blunt, Li Zhiyuan felt that he would understand better if someone simply murdered her.

Yet this act of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut was really incomprehensible.

Li Zhiyuan sat back down in his chair, bowed his head, and began to ponder.

According to past experience, once the thought process surrounding a matter enters a logical impasse, it's time to switch to another method.

And it requires abandoning rational thought, imagining oneself as a fool driven solely by emotion with no sense of logic or self-interest—this might yield unexpected results.

"Ah You."

"Present!" Lin Shuyou immediately turned around, facing Li Zhiyuan.

"You fought with five people this morning."

"Yes, I am guilty."

"It seems that our class president is quite popular." Li Zhiyuan looked up at Zhou Yunyun on the hospital bed and murmured, "Could it be because she's too popular?"

...

Tan Yunlong came with his colleagues.

Some police officers went to the ward to check the situation, some questioned the doctors about the condition, and others took simple notes from the school staff present, following the procedure as if it were a poisoning case.

Tan Wenbin went to meet his father; the father and son had just parted ways in the morning and unexpectedly met again at noon.

Tan Yunlong deliberately chose the protruding balcony on this floor of the hospital, where only father and son were present. Tan Yunlong lit a cigarette and asked:

"Was it really poisoning?"

"Brother Xiao Yuan said this would minimize the negative impact."

"I'm asking if it was really poisoning?"

"Huh?" Tan Wenbin realized, first shaking his head, then nodding, "Dad, just follow the poisoning procedure for now."

Tan Yunlong exhaled a smoke ring slowly and said: "Don't tell your mother about this."

"Don't worry, dad. I won't say anything until there's a conclusion."

"You don't have to tell her even after there's a conclusion."

Tan Yunlong tossed the cigarette to the ground and extinguished it. He saw Li Zhiyuan walking towards him.

"Xiao Yuan."

"Uncle Tan, should we start investigating Zhou Yunyun's network of relationships now?"

"Yeah, I'm about to head to her school. Do you want me to drop you back to school on the way?"

"That would be great."

Tan Yunlong asked Li Zhiyuan: "And what about Binbin?"

Tan Wenbin: "I..."

Li Zhiyuan: "Brother Binbin will stay here and keep Zhou Yunyun company."

Tan Yunlong looked at Tan Wenbin: "Then you stay here."

Tan Wenbin: "Okay, Uncle Tan."

"Xiao Yuan, I'll wait for you in the car downstairs." Tan Yunlong left first.

Li Zhiyuan told Tan Wenbin: "Brother Binbin, I've made arrangements in the ward. You need to ensure that those three candles do not go out."

"Understood."

"Other than the familiar doctors and nurses, do not let anyone else visit the ward, especially people from Zhou Yunyun's school."
