Chapter 170: Chapter 170 Lucky Body and Curse of Misfortune (1st Update)
A unique image is now erging in the depths of Tang Qi’s eyes.
The source, Sally.
[Extraordinary Creatures: Misfortune Host.]
[State: Normal.]
[Information Fragnt One: She is the host of Doomsday Magic, with the Misfortune Witch’s secondary personality ford within her. This significantly increases the chance of being noticed by the Witch herself and also grants her powers deliberately shared by the Witch’s alternate personality.]
[Information Fragnt Two: As for why the Witch’s alternate personality, which should have destroyed the primary personality, shares its power with Sally, the reason is quite simple: after the set-up, she no longer believes that you can protect the primary personality, doing this for self-preservation.]
…
As the pieces of information flow past, Tang Qi fully understands why the sealing hasn’t shattered, yet Sally has beco a Transcendent.
The main reason turned out to be caused by him.
In the last encounter, Tang Qi, true to his record of contractual deceit, exploited a loophole to trick the Witch’s alternate personality once again. He gave her a Curse Mark but didn’t receive any benefits and even forcefully sent her back into the seal.
With no contract binding her, the Witch’s alternate personality dares not bet that Tang Qi would seriously protect her host.
So she had no choice but to share so of the Misfortune’s power with the host.
After all, the two are now one. If sothing happens to Sally, the internal alternate personality wouldn’t be spared either.
Of course, Tang Qi doesn’t believe it’s entirely his fault.
“If it’s completely because she doesn’t trust , the alternate personality would have done this early on; I fear she also sensed the recent atmosphere in sser City and thereby made up her mind.”
“An unremarkable sser City unexpectedly conceals many big shots. Has the Witch’s alternate personality panicked as well?”
Tang Qi blinked, and the special image dissipated.
He walked straight over and sat down next to Sally, and as he got closer, he could feel her emotions more clearly. Sally was currently predominated by panic but also possessed an excitent she couldn’t suppress.
To Tang Qi’s slight surprise, Sally seed to want to say sothing but still forcibly held it back.
It wasn’t until the bell signaling the end of the “Monster Records” class went off and the teacher left the classroom like the wind that Sally could no longer restrain herself and pulled on the hem of Tang Qi’s sleeve, whispering, “Tang Qi, sothing strange has happened to , can you—can you take a look for ?”
Tang Qi, who was about to stand up, couldn’t help but freeze when he heard this.
He looked at Sally speechless and indeed saw a pair of panicked yet pure eyes.
“Co with !”
“Talk while we walk.”
Tang Qi took Sally out of the classroom and randomly found a quiet, tree-lined path within the school grounds.
Although Tang Qi was considered a mber of the “missing persons making a coback” series within the school, the pairing of the two did not catch anyone’s attention. Most students already saw Tang Qi as belonging to the sa category as those privileged second-generation kids – mysterious and shaless mbers of the Privileged Class.
Once they reached a secluded area, Sally couldn’t help but blurt out her “bizarre encounters” of the morning and the strange changes to her body, all in one breath.
“I used to co to school, and no matter how slowly I walked or how careful I was, I would always encounter so minor misfortunes, like being bumped into by passersby, losing copper coins from my pocket, getting splashed with water accidentally… I had gotten used to that.”
“This morning, all these encounters happened, but what’s weird is they were all resolved by various accidents. The passerby who was supposed to bump into
hit a lamp post instead, not only did I not lose the copper coin for buying breakfast, but I also picked up a Silver Coin, the dirty water that the store owner on the roadside was about to spill ended up on himself… and there were many more instances, it was just too odd.”
“I had a perfect, not only misfortune-free but unexpectedly lucky morning.”
After describing all this, Sally’s face was the picture of ruin.
Seeing this expression, it was as if she had encountered so Misfortune rather than being overly lucky.
However, Tang Qi’s face showed understanding. For Sally, who had been plagued by various minor misfortunes all her life, this morning’s experiences were indeed too abnormal.
Of course, Tang Qi knew the answer.
But he did not imdiately reveal it, instead, he looked at Sally with a strange gaze and hinted, “Sally, tell
about the other changes.”
Hearing this, Sally’s expression imdiately beca sowhat bashful, as if she’d done sothing wrong. However, encouraged by Tang Qi’s gaze, she still spoke up.
“In the morning at the school gate, I ran into a few very an girls. They turned their backs on
intentionally, but mocked
in voices loud enough for
to hear, and they even ntioned you, so I just…”
“You cursed them?”
Tang Qi smiled faintly as he interjected.
Sally, as if her inner thoughts had been hit, beca even more panicked, almost about to cry as she whispered, “I just glanced at them, then I wished in my heart that they would also have bad luck today. I’ve done this before, but it never worked, who knew this ti….”
“Lisa got cheated on by her boyfriend, Abby choked while eating candy, Elma has been in the toilet with a stomachache all morning, she’s probably still there, and Annie’s favorite boy announced he’s coming out today…”
“I didn’t do it on purpose, I just said it casually.”
“Tang Qi, what’s wrong with ? Am I a monster now?”
The last sentence was spoken with a mixture of panic and a hint of excitent on Sally’s face.
This was actually very understandable. As soone who had always been bullied, suddenly acquiring a “superpower” would naturally excite anyone, beyond the initial panic.
From the way Sally described it, it was clear that even with superpowers, she was incapable of committing great evil.
Her nature was not wicked.
Otherwise, the consequences of her casual ntal “curse” would not have been so simple.
“Such an eerily powerful ability!”
Tang Qi marveled to himself.
At this mont, as he looked at Sally, two dense ghost lights converged, forming two Special Information Fragnts.
That was the power Sally possessed, the Magic bestowed intentionally by the Witch’s alternate personality to her primary personality.
“Lucky Body!”
“Curse of Misfortune!”
“Huh?”
Suddenly hearing Tang Qi’s voice, Sally looked up in shock.
Tang Qi didn’t hold back; he felt that Sally deserved to know so of the “truth” now.
“This is the ability you’ve obtained. Lucky Body ans that from now on, it’s unlikely you’ll encounter misfortunes again. Perhaps you won’t have extraordinary luck, but small ones like finding money, you’ll have them at least two or three tis a day.”
“And the Curse of Misfortune is even simpler. Any curse you earnestly cast will usually co to pass, with the severity depending on your mood and the target of the curse.”
Tang Qi nonchalantly revealed the powers that Sally now possessed.
Listening to him, it seed very straightforward.
But if another Transcendent were here, they would be extrely shocked.
Both of Sally’s abilities were, in their own ways, terrifying.
The forr was the Power of Protection.
According to the Information Fragnts Tang Qi saw, even if other Transcendents wanted to harm Sally, they would be repelled by misfortunes due to the Guardian force of the Lucky Body, and those who made the attempt would likely be stopped by so inexplicable accident before they could even get near her.
The latter was even more fearso.
Imagine if Sally wished, she could simply look at soone and silently think “death,” and that person would have to succumb to death by so accident.
It was essentially a one-person version of “Final Destination”.
Of course, these powers were not without limitations.
For example, if people like Sith or Hall, who are strong at that level, were to act against her, Sally would likely be in serious danger.
Even, as Tang Qi considered, if he bore ill-intents, he could kill Sally, despite suffering so backlash from the Curse of Misfortune.
Even so, Tang Qi believed that, at this stage in sser City, Sally was not only very safe but had also suddenly beco a terrifyingly powerful Transcendent.
Only she herself was unaware of it.
