Chapter 146: Darkness is light, light is darkness!

After resting for some time, the afternoon continued.

Zombies came up one after another.

“Next one~”

After healing ten zombies in a row, Zombie Ren’s voice rang out.

The next zombie was an Old Woman Zombie who looked to be in her fifties.

The Old Woman Zombie sat in front of Si Yan, her face full of worry as she said, “Medicine Saint Sir, I seem to be under a curse. Can you heal me?”

Curse!

As these two words came out, the surrounding zombies instinctively moved a little further away from her.

It was as if she carried a plague.

A curse effective on zombies was not easy to deal with.

Some difficult curses could even be “zombie-to-zombie” transmissible.

“Has it come?”

Si Yan murmured in his heart.

His expression, however, showed no change.

“Of course. However, my method for treating curses is a bit special. Come in with me for a moment. Ren Hu, you watch here and don’t let anyone in.”

Si Yan said.

“Yes, Sir.”

Ren Hu was very proactive.

Si Yan turned and walked through the gate of the courtyard.

The Old Woman Zombie saw this and followed him.

Entering the courtyard, the Old Woman Zombie looked around curiously, but today, apart from Si Yan, there were no other zombies in the courtyard.

“Follow me.”

Si Yan led the Old Woman Zombie into the west wing, which had previously been a resting place for several zombie guards.

The Old Woman Zombie followed Si Yan all the way into the west wing.

“Not going to make a move?”

Si Yan was waiting for the Old Woman Zombie to make a move.

She showed no intention of doing so, which led Si Yan to consider another possibility.

“Sit.”

Si Yan pointed to a stool.

The Old Woman Zombie sat down, looking at Si Yan respectfully.

“First, tell me, how did you get cursed?”

Si Yan asked.

“I’m not particularly clear either. Who knows which accursed person cursed me?”

The Old Woman Zombie began to speak.

Curses couldn’t just be cast casually.

Especially for zombies without cursing abilities, cursing others would come at a price to themselves.

Just like in Dark University, if the school beauty Du Siyu wanted to curse someone, if it weren’t for the Grievance Spirit Tree, she would have had to pay with her own life.

Si Yan listened silently, occasionally interjecting a word or two.

Thus, after only a few minutes, Si Yan closed the mystic spirit pocket watch in his hand.

The Old Woman Zombie had fallen into a daze.

The Old Woman Zombie had been successfully Hypnotized by Si Yan.

“Now tell me, who sent you?”

Si Yan said.

“No one sent me. I wanted to find the Medicine Saint to help me lift the curse.”

The Old Woman Zombie murmured.

“Is that so?”

Having Hypnotized the Old Woman Zombie so easily, Si Yan had already guessed this.

“How cunning.”

Si Yan whispered.

This Nangong Wan’er was indeed very intelligent.

She was currently in the shadows.

But wasn’t Si Yan also in the “shadows”?

Si Yan was ostensibly in the open, but in reality, to Nangong Wan’er, he was in the “shadows.”

Because Nangong Wan’er didn’t know that Si Yan had already deduced that it was she who did it!

Nangong Wan’er also didn’t know that Si Yan had decided to help Ying Rui deal with her!

Under these circumstances, to Nangong Wan’er, Si Yan was just an unrelated human.

Si Yan was openly visible on the surface, but in reality, he was in the shadows!

Yet Nangong Wan’er’s probing still didn’t involve sending her own people.

Instead, she chose to curse a nearby Old Woman Zombie.

It seemed she already knew of Si Yan’s reputation as “Medicine Saint.”

Therefore, she was certain that the Old Woman Zombie would come to Si Yan.

“Is this a test to see if I can dispel curses?”

Si Yan thought.

Thinking of this, he released the Old Woman Zombie from her Hypnotic state.

“I’m sorry, Medicine Saint Sir, how did I fall asleep? This curse is truly harmful!”

The Old Woman Zombie thought it was the curse’s doing.

“I will help you dispel it. After you go back, tell everyone that I can dispel any curse.”

Si Yan said to the Old Woman Zombie.

“Really? Thank you, Medicine Saint!”

The Old Woman Zombie was overjoyed.

Her curse wasn’t light, but it wasn’t particularly heavy either, and Si Yan easily dispelled it for her.

“Thank you, Medicine Saint!”

The Old Woman Zombie took out money, paid, and then happily left.

As she left, she didn’t forget what Si Yan had instructed, telling everyone she met about the Medicine Saint’s prowess, that he could even dispel curses.

Si Yan continued to see patients.

In the afternoon, the Blood Zombie came again.

After two treatments, the Blood Zombie’s condition had improved significantly.

However, a complete recovery would not be so easy.

Si Yan treated him once more.

About half an hour later, the Blood Zombie once again bowed deeply to Si Yan before turning and leaving.

Nothing else happened until evening.

Nangong Wan’er did not probe again, and Si Yan did not find any suspected subordinates of hers.

“So cunning?”

Si Yan whispered.

It seemed Nangong Wan’er had learned through the Old Woman Zombie that Si Yan could dispel curses.

Her not probing again or taking other actions was likely because she didn’t want to alert him.

She was indeed cunning and sufficiently cautious.

Cautious as she was, she was perhaps overly so.

If Nangong Wan’er hadn’t been so overly cautious, Ying Rui would have been finished this time.

Of course, Nangong Wan’er’s behavior was understandable; the first time, Ying Rui was half-cursed to death, but Si Yan managed to save her.

Nangong Wan’er was unclear about the specific situation, feeling somewhat surprised and uncertain, which was why she was so cautious.

Si Yan was not in a hurry.

There was still plenty of time.

Night came.

After the admiring zombies had all departed, Si Yan once again went to Liu Yiyi’s room.

If all went well, tonight would be the final dispelling, completely removing Liu Yiyi’s Love Curse.

“Sir.”

When Si Yan entered Liu Yiyi’s bedroom, the enchanting Zombie Noblewoman once again lunged at him.

She seemed to be having a particularly difficult time today.

After lunging, she didn’t say much, just embraced Si Yan and kissed him incessantly.

Si Yan silently began to dispel it for her.

“Ah!!!”

The most ferocious rebound of the Love Curse came, and Liu Yiyi suffered intensely.

She should have known to tie her hands.

But now it was too late.

At the last moment, he couldn’t fail.

Si Yan directly intensified the dispelling effect.

It was effective!

The last bit of Love Curse was completely dispelled by Si Yan in an instant.

After the final Love Curse was dispelled, Liu Yiyi seemed to have all her strength drained, collapsing limply.

She didn’t know how she had transformed into a zombie.

Despite being a zombie, she wasn’t stiff-limbed like other zombies; she was not only full of charm but also swayed gracefully when she walked.

“Madam.”

Si Yan helped Liu Yiyi up.

Liu Yiyi was extremely weak.

This was a side effect of the Love Curse, but she would fully recover after resting for a day or two.

“Sir, thank you!”

Liu Yiyi said gratefully, her voice weak and powerless.

“It’s nothing. Don’t move, I’ll carry you to the bed.”

Si Yan carried Liu Yiyi to the bed and then covered her with a blanket.

After that, Si Yan picked up the scattered clothes on the floor.

These clothes were already tattered.

She had torn them herself just now.

Not only were her own clothes torn, but Si Yan’s were also torn.

The current scene, if an uninformed person were to come in and see it, they would probably think…

“Sir, you’ve worked hard. These past few days, you must have suffered every day, right? Now that the Love Curse is gone, if you wish, Yiyi can repay you to express her gratitude for your kindness!”

Liu Yiyi said with some shyness.

Si Yan had indeed suffered.

Seeing such a beautiful Zombie Noblewoman say this, Si Yan’s heart felt somewhat stirred and itchy.

But seeing the extremely weak Liu Yiyi, Si Yan reached out and felt her forehead, saying, “Madam, you should rest first. We can talk when you’re better. I’m leaving.”

After speaking, Si Yan turned and left the room to eat.

Watching Si Yan’s departing back, an unusual light flashed in Liu Yiyi’s eyes.
