Kristen's house is located in the middle of downtown Los Angeles and the beach on the west coast of Los Angeles. The environment here is very good. It is obviously the city center, but there are dense woods, which provides the privacy barrier that many celebrities want to enjoy. Luxury homes here generally start at US$10 million. For example, Christine's house costs at least US$30 million. It has its own driveway, gate, swimming pool, tennis court, garden, and security system.
Just looking at these luxurious decorations and expensive facilities, it is no wonder that so many people want to become celebrities. Look at Christine, she has only been in the industry for five years, and she already has the financial resources to buy such a mansion. You can imagine how much those celebrities earn.
In fact, in front of real stars, Kristen is just like that. Really awesome stars basically have real estate all over the world. Take Charlize Theron, for example, her real estate is all over Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Europe, South Africa. This portion of real estate alone is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
So Christine is still just a child.
Of course, Kai wasn't here just to visit the house. He has business to attend to.
"This is the letter." Christine drove away the servants and security guards at home, leaving only the three of them in the house. Although the servant's expression when he left was thought-provoking, Kristen had no time to care about that.
Kai opened the letter and immediately smelled the pungent smell of blood. This thing... doesn't seem to be ordinary human blood.
Kai picked up the letter and smelled it without reading the content first.
"Belladonna?" The blood was mixed with the smell of some herbs. Although Kai was not very good at witchcraft, he still knew some general information. "Well, there are also thistles. The smell should be thistles. And...Amanita muscaria? It should be that way, and finally there is sage."
Then Kai quickly put the letter away. The smell was really not good.
"What are those?" Sharize Theron asked curiously.
"Herbs used for witchcraft." Kai didn't hide this, because this thing is now in the streets: "Belladonna, maybe you have heard that the herb native to Europe will bear black fruits. Belladonna will It makes the user feel uneasy, have hallucinations, and feel drowsy. After waking up, they may forget what just happened and suffer from memory loss. Thistle has no medicinal value, but this thing represents revenge, and it also represents the heart. It’s as painful as a needle prick.”
Thistle flowers are very common. When Kai was a child, he could see this kind of flower on the roadside in the village. When he was a child, he only thought that the smell of this stuff was pungent and unpleasant. It looks ugly. But in fact, this saying has a long history in the ancient West. There are two legends about this kind of flower. One is that in Greek mythology, the goddess of the earth fell in love with the versatile Chris and wanted to find an opportunity to express her love to this shepherd, a hunting master who could recite poems and compose music. Unexpectedly, the falling flower was interested. Liu Shui is ruthless and suffers from the sorrow of unrequited love. She turns herself into a thistle to express the pain of "heart like needle pricks". The other is a plant that is said to have grown out of the ground after the Virgin Mary removed the nails from Christ's crucifixion.
At the same time, this thing also has a high status in witchcraft. Generally speaking, wizards or witches who want revenge will use this flower as a medium to curse their enemies.
"Amanita muscaria and sage have similar effects. In the past, many wizards would use these things as medicine. But now few people use them. After all, the side effects are too great."
Seeing Kai's clear analysis, Christine gradually gained a little confidence in her heart.
"Then...could this be poisoning?" Sharize Theron asked cautiously after hearing Kai talk about herbal medicines for a long time without mentioning any supernatural events.
"No." Kai shook his head. Then he looked at Christine: "Congratulations, you won the prize."
"What?"
"You have been cursed by a wizard."
"WTF?" Christine cursed. What the hell is this called winning the lottery?
"Hehe, do you know how many people are left who know witchcraft today?" Kai said with a smile: "Anyway, I have only met one in these years."
Kai had no problem lying. Since returning to modern society, Kai Zhen has only met one person who knows witchcraft. That was the psychic who helped Kai solve the murder case in Springwood Town's ghost dream. In fact, strictly speaking, psychics are only members of witches, not real witches.
"The things I just mentioned are at best some crude hallucinogens in the hands of ordinary people. As long as they are not taken directly, basically nothing will happen. But if these things fall into the hands of people who are really good at witchcraft, then It became a murder weapon," Kai explained.
"In other words, what Kristen encountered this time was not an evil spirit or a demon, but a wizard?" Salize Theron's eyes widened, her expression full of curiosity. After all, she had only heard of wizards but had never seen them before. Of course, in fact, she had never heard of many things before, so she was particularly curious. "The kind of wizard who rides a broom and rubs crystal balls?"
"Close." Kai was not interested in popularizing that wizards couldn't ride broomsticks and rarely used crystal balls for divination. Anyway, it was enough to get the idea.
Salize Theron and Kristen looked at each other. They had just finished playing Snow White and met the wizard. It felt really amazing. Especially Shalize Theron, she had so much confidence in Kai that she didn't worry about anything going wrong, so her curiosity took over.
"Then what should we do? Go directly to the wizard?" Shailize Theron asked eagerly.
Kai rolled his eyes at Sharize Theron: "Then we have to find him or her. It just so happens that I am not very good at witchcraft."
Kristine's face suddenly turned pale.
When Sharize Theron saw her like this, she immediately comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Kai will definitely find a way."
Unexpectedly, Christine shook her head. Pointing directly behind Sharlize Theron and Kai.
"There's something there!"
Kai and Sharize Theron immediately turned around, seeing nothing behind them.
But when the two turned their heads, they found Christine looking at the two of them in horror.
"ah!!!!"
Charlize Theron rushed up to grab Kristen and shook her desperately: "Kristen! What's wrong with you? Wake up!"
Kristen woke up in shock, as if waking up from a dream.
"Christine, what just happened to you?"
Shalize Theron asked, holding Kristen in her arms.
Kristine didn't speak, but kept looking at the two of them, as if she wanted to see something from them. Her eyes were so frightened and hesitant. As if he didn't believe what he was seeing.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Salize Theron couldn't figure out what was going on. She had never seen Kristen act like this before.
In fact, this was the first time that Kristen saw those terrible things in front of outsiders. In the past, she would only see those things after she was alone and alive and fell asleep. But this time, she...
Just now, she saw with her own eyes two swollen blue arms stretching out from the shadows behind Kai and Charlize Theron, grabbing their shoulders, but they didn't seem to notice it at all. Forget it, when she pointed out that there was something behind them, they turned to look over. When they turned their heads, their faces were completely changed, their flesh and blood were rotting, and even their eyeballs fell out of their sockets!
Kristen couldn't tell whether it was her hallucination or something else.
"Let me do it." Kai walked over to Kristen. But Christine kept shrinking back as if being approached by a ghost.
Kai grabbed the woman's legs, pulled her to him, and held her head down.
"look into my eyes!"
Hearing Kai's voice, Kristen looked over instinctively.
When he looked up, he saw a pair of golden eyes.
"Ah!!!!" followed by a sharp pain.
"Kristen!" Salize Theron hurriedly went up and hugged Kristen. "What's up with her?"
Kai let go of his hand and said, "It's nothing, I'm just helping her get rid of the curse temporarily."
After a while, Christine finally woke up from the severe pain.
Seeing that Kristen was no longer shouting, she was just panting, as if she was about to collapse.
"That was just now..."
"She didn't encounter something supernatural, but was cursed. To put it simply, everything she encountered these days was not real, but a fantasy caused by the curse." Kai picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Christine , alcohol can relieve her fatigue and weakness.
Kristine finally recovered a lot, and she took the wine glass tremblingly: "Why... this is the first time I... see those things so clearly... It wasn't like this before, before... they were all just It will appear faintly, not like now..."
Sharize Theron asked curiously: "What exactly did you see?"
Kristen hesitated for a moment before telling Sharlize Theron what she saw.
Sharize Theron's eyes widened when she heard this, and she got goosebumps all over when she thought of a hand touching her body.
Kai did not bother with the two women, but picked up the letter again.
Although there are indeed faint traces of witchcraft on this letter, Kai can be sure that this power can at most make people feel dazed, and it is impossible to cause such a strong reaction. Kai took the letter and planned to read the spell.
It turned out that it was okay not to look at it, but the more I looked at it, the more confused I became.
First of all, the spell on this letter is indeed ancient Celtic writing. If the other party knows witchcraft, it is not unusual to know this kind of writing. But the problem is that the spells here are completely messed up. To put it simply, these are not curses at all. They are more like curses, not really curses.
If anyone wants to curse people to death with this thing, it's totally a joke.
Sharize Theron looked at Kai looking at the letter in a daze, thinking that Kai had found something: "Kay, did you find something?"
"Ah. No, it's just that what's on this letter doesn't look like a curse." As he spoke, Kai shook his hand and his faith burned.
Looking at the burning flames of the letter, Kai had a look on his face: "If this letter is really a curse medium, and it burns, the color will never look like this."
"What color should that be?"
"That's for sure, any color is possible, but it won't be the color of normal flame burning." Generally speaking, the color of burning witchcraft items is green, but it is not absolute. According to the type of witchcraft, the strength , and even the material of the medium, may cause the flame to appear in different colors when burning. It's hard to talk about this kind of thing.
"So that means this letter has nothing to do with what happened to Christine?"
"That's not the case. There are still faint traces of witchcraft on it. I can only say that this thing should be regarded as the introduction, which caused the curse to break out." This is also Kai's guess. But it should be close to ten.
"What should we do?" Kristen was a little anxious. Especially now that she saw the possibility of solving the problem, she was even more anxious.
Kai rubbed his chin.
"The curse can't come out of thin air, it must require a medium." Although Kai doesn't know much about witchcraft, apart from being weird, another major feature of witchcraft is that it requires a medium. This is even more true for curses. It is impossible for a wizard to curse others by just chanting a spell. It requires a medium that connects the victim to the spellcaster.
"What medium?"
"Media...the explanation of this thing is also very complicated. To put it simply, if a wizard wants to curse Christine, there are generally two ways. One is to obtain Christine's body fluids, hair or personal items. In short, it requires There is a strong connection with Christine. Another way is for the wizard to prepare a spelled object and place it around Christine, and then influence Christine through that object."
"We won't be able to figure out the bodily fluids and hair for a while, so they can only be witchcraft items. Let's look for them quickly!"
Salize Theron was immobile and immediately started searching in Kristen's house.
It doesn't matter whether others are willing or not.
Of course, Christine will never refuse. After all, Kristine is not stupid. She is already dying, so how can she expect this?
In this era, the anti-intellectuals of later generations have not yet appeared, and the virus is under our noses. A group of people are still clamoring that it is all fake news, and vaccines are a conspiracy.
Soon the three of them were rummaging around the house, but they managed to survive.
Found nothing.
