Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025: The Cursed Village
Seated in the back row, Xia Xin couldn’t help but lean forward over the back of the chair and ask, “Reanimation? Can soone co back to life after death?”
“This is what’s recorded locally, we’re not clear on the specifics, and this incident initially ca to light decades ago. Back then, oppression of feudal superstitions was at its peak, and no one dared to stand out. When the story spread, the governnt also sent people to investigate it.”
Bai Changfeng spoke seriously, “However, the results of the investigation at that ti were not satisfactory. The investigating scientists reported that the water quality in the area was problematic. Over the years, consuming it led to villagers in that area being poisoned and dying prematurely. Because of this, the local governnt relocated all the villagers from the two villages into the city, whether they were willing or not, they were forcibly moved.”
The relocation of the villagers seed to have settled the matter.
But about ten years ago, the curse on the two villages resurfaced in full force.
The reason was that so villagers who had moved away but were living not too far from the original site of the village seed to still be under the curse’s influence. Their circumstances hadn’t changed, with nurous young people dying before reaching thirty.
At that ti, the fervor for suppressing superstitions had just waned, and the officials and the Xuann Association had secretly reached an agreent to establish the official Unusual Affairs Managent Office to handle these peculiar cases.
This task beca officially the first major case taken on by the Unusual Affairs Managent Office after its establishnt.
Unfortunately, the handling process was not smooth.
Back then, the Unusual Affairs Managent Office hadn’t detailed many sub-bureaus; there was only a simple managent office. The then director, with several experts, went to the original village site to verify, staying there for three months but ca up empty-handed.
They couldn’t find anything odd at all.
They also used high-tech thods to carry out comprehensive sampling analyses of the water and soil but found no harmful or toxic substances.
However, during the period when the Unusual Affairs Managent Office was stationed for investigations at the village site, no instances of young people dying before thirty occurred.
The Unusual Affairs Managent Office observed for so ti, and seeing that no similar cases appeared again, this task was shelved.
“If it was shelved, why suddenly reopen it now?” Jiangli brushed his nose, glancing at Bai Changfeng.
Bai Changfeng glanced around, his voice even deeper and solemn, “That’s because recently, the descendants of those villagers have once again shown signs of inevitably dying before thirty, as if the curse has reerged.”
Jiangli frowned slightly, “The curse reappeared?”
Bai Changfeng paused for a mont, correcting himself, “Actually, you could say the curse never went away. According to initial investigations, the descendants of those two villages have always had this curse. So people always die before thirty, though so seem to escape it, but those who escape are relatively few. This task has always been a headache for the local Unusual Affairs Managent sub-bureau, but the root cause remains unclear. To prevent panic, the case had been sealed and suppressed.”
However, due to recent frequent outbreaks, the local Unusual Affairs Managent sub-bureau received many complaints and had to reopen this task.
And the local Unusual Affairs Managent sub-bureau, unable to handle it alone, sought assistance from Master Qu Lin.
Master Qu Lin then sent his beloved disciple, Bai Changfeng, to personally take on the task.
Bai Changfeng reached out to Jiangli for a simple reason: he feared he couldn’t solve it alone and sought Jiangli’s help.
