Dawning light scattered through the bushes, leaving speckled patches of light on the ground.

“Mr. Sean?”

Margaret and Hallock returned, seeing Su Lu calmly taking care of last night’s traces.

“Is everything resolved?” she asked nervously.

Was it an illusion? Behind Su Lu, she seemed to see the ghost of a horse-shaped beast again!

“Woof! Woof! Woof!”

Hallock barked three times at Su Lu.

“Yes… everything is resolved.”

Su Lu reached back, and a Spirit Chain appeared, binding a revenant, extinguishing it right away. “The rest… are minor issues.”

Lore city, 13 Black Rose Road.

On returning to the apartment, the first thing Su Lu did was check his mailbox, where he found two letters.

One of them was sent by Isaac, expressing gratitude for his generosity and asking a few questions about mysticism.

It seems he has started gathering materials, ready to take office for the [Shepherd] profession.

The other letter was unexpectedly from Owen Dougwille!

‘His matter… isn’t it resolved yet?’

Su Lu’s expression grew serious as he returned to the bedroom and opened the envelope.

“Mad! This world is mad!”

At the beginning of the letter, Owen’s handwriting was unsteady, bringing a twisted taste. There were also mistakes in his wording.

‘It seems… he’s very tense. Extremely tense.’ 𝘧𝓻ℯ𝑒𝑤𝓮𝒷𝓷𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝓬𝓸𝓂

Su Lu pursed his lips, continuing to read:

“Mr. Sean… apologies for not paying you a direct visit, for I am under surveillance. Heavy surveillance! And its source, I believe, is my father. Only his orders can make Jindum execute resolutely. Luckily… I bribed a maid to secretly pass on messages…”

“I… I don’t know what has happened… with my twenty-fifth birthday approaching, numerous distant relatives who rarely socialize are appearing one after another. Their fervor and respect send chills down my spine, for sure they are conspiring something…”

“But what worries me most… is my father! Nellin!”

“He actually proposed holding a party in that haunted villa! Goddess… that ancient well is in the villa… but everyone tells me that the well has always been in the garden. My butler, my kin betrayed me, testifying to the church personnel and the police station… I was almost sent to a mental hospital!”

“My family saved me, but also forbid me from going out… trapping me inside that villa… What’s even more terrifying is that my father asked servants to send me the attire for the birthday banquet… I’ve seen it in my dreams! It’s exactly the same as when I fell into the ancient well wearing that attire!”

“This makes me believe, all of it is that curse!”

“It… seems predestined by fate, unalterable…”

“Save me! Save me! Save me!”

At the end of the letter, Owen wrote ‘save me’ three times in succession. It was apparent that the boy had been scared out of his wits.

“Predestined… fate?”

Su Lu pursed his lips, thinking this curse event had greatly exceeded his expectations.

“So it means… no matter what, Owen will die on the day of the birthday banquet?”

“Such a bold curse… it even tells the cursed person in advance, allowing him to seek relationships and eventually fall into complete despair?”

“Is this… a fate curse? Presumably, it’s not something an evil spirit could pull off. At least it should be a high-ranking Demon Professional or… a real ‘demon’?”

Su Lu felt that he was a bit unlucky.

It seemed that no matter where he went, he could encounter high-level events.

“But… this seems to be the result of my active pursuit, commonly known as ‘seeking death’?”

A bitter smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.

Contacting the demon believers of the Ancient Snake Society through Margaret and obtaining information about the [Dream Master] profession was his goal.

From this point of view, perhaps the supernatural event happening to Owen was related to the people of the Ancient Snake Society?

“Be bold in your assumptions, but prudent in confirmation!”

Su Lu decided that he would secretly pass by Owen’s villa tomorrow and observe from the shadows.

As for Owen’s birthday banquet during the Lore Festival?

Whoever wants to go can go!

If his guess is correct, that would be the node of the curse outbreak, and also the most dangerous time!

The next day.

Su Lu hired a horse carriage, aimlessly traveling through the city, viewing the approaching scenery of the Lore Festival.

You can tell that the citizens of Lore city had made a lot of preparations for this festival.

Colourful ribbons were plastered all over the shops, some even displayed the ‘discount’ sign directly.

‘Lore Festival? A festival to celebrate the establishment of Lore city? That should be over a hundred years ago, right?’

Su Lu thought for a while, realizing he didn’t know much about the history of Lore city.

Under his command, the carriage continued to move slowly, it had passed through a villa area and entered the villa owned by Owen Dougwille, where the ancient well was located in the garden, which was prominently visible.

Su Lu reclined in the carriage with his eyes half-closed: “Soul Trance!”

The whites of his eyes increased abruptly in his pupils and his soul leaped into the second layer of the Spirit World.

In an instant, the surroundings of the carriage, buildings, streets… everything material gradually turned into illusion.

Only mental secret realms, one after another, constantly appeared.

Conducting detection through the mental realm could effectively distinguish invisible and hidden powerful enemies. It had helped Su Lu a lot of times.

This time was no different!

His eyes saw through the villa, and he saw regular people’s psychic light balls.

At the same time, in some places, several mental secret realms in the shape of islands, even whirlpools, were hiding!

“A tier four professional? And this breath… ‘Mr. Chairman’?”

Su Lu suddenly wanted to laugh, “So the ‘Chairman’ of the Shadow Council comes from the Dougweir family? Hmm… this also fits the saying that the Dougweir family had once participated in the establishment of the city… I just don’t know if he’s Owen’s father or grandfather. Although the ‘Chairman’ appears to be an old man, who can’t disguise themselves?”

“Having such a powerful professional in the family, Owen still gets entangled by a curse? Huh? That is…”

His gaze bypassed the villa, arriving at the garden’s location, and it suddenly contracted.

He saw a well!

A square, black, dry well!

It just stood upright there, standing in the Spirit World where the entity was dissolved!

It bore a trace of an indescribable presence, imbued with an indescribable feeling that made Su Lu involuntarily feel shocked.

“As expected… this curse is not simple!”

Su Lu withdrew his gaze, and the carriage had also left the street at this time.

He had decided not to get involved in this mess, leaving the Dougweir family to clean it up themselves.

“Huh?”

In the next instant, Su Lu rubbed his forehead, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: “After the physical recovery… the burning sensation of the soul has finally disappeared…”
