Curses

"Is there something wrong with your vision, Mr Owl?"

Ignoring the man's question, Adam walked up to the boy as he asked softly.

"What's your name, son?"

"My name is Kevin" said the boy, frowning. "Are you uncle's friend and aunt's freak yesterday? Do you think I'm crazy too?"

"Kevin, you can't be like that, son."

The mother immediately warned her son. He knew the figure of the white masked young man was different from his comrades yesterday. The woman was afraid that the young man was hurting her son because of his tone.

"I am indeed their partner, but I have come to ascertain whether you are okay or not. It seems my concern is correct ...

Do you feel pain in your right hand, Kevin?"

Little Kevin was a bit confused, but finally decided to answer honestly.

"No. Not at all. It's just ..."

"What's wrong? Just say it," said Adam softly.

"No. I—"

"I'm not going to think you're crazy, fantasizing, or hallucinating."

Hearing Adam interrupting, the boy's expression became startled.

"Really?"

"really." Adam nodded for sure.

"Actually .. I feel, sometimes my hand moves on its own. Also, I often hear the whispers of a woman at night."

"So so ..."

Adam nodded.

"Do you know how to cure our son, Mr Owl? No matter the cost—"

"Calm down, honey." Kevin's father stopped his wife.

"I can only try. But this is a bit dangerous, do you really want to watch?

Also ... Do you agree with that, Kevin?"

"Does it hurt?" ask Kevin to doubt.

"It's not clear, but it's most likely painful."

"Am I not going to hear that woman's voice again at night?"

"If it works, you shouldn't hear it anymore."

"Then let me try it, Uncle!"

"..."

Adam remained silent. He wanted to get angry, but could only smile bitterly behind his mask.

"We'd also like to see the process, Mr Owl!"

"You guys serious?" ask Adam.

"We're serious."

"Then you can stay."

Adam then picked up the confused Kevin and laid him on the bed. Seeing that the boy was a bit panicked, he immediately activated Suzaku's Cry skill.

"Quiet .." said Adam.

Adam's voice is like the warm wind in spring. At the moment when his voice sounded, the young man saw the black color in Kevin's hand like rippling water.

Adam's expression became more serious. He stretched out his right hand while his left hand held a protective talisman.

"You two .. please look from a distance. It's better near the door so you can get out of the room immediately if something goes wrong."

Adam reminded me again.

At first the couple seemed hesitant. But after that, they did not dare to ignore Adam's warning.

Seeing the two near the open door, Adam nodded lightly. He took a deep breath.

Golden energy coated his right hand. According to Lei Fan and Lei Na, this kind of energy could be used against almost any form of impurity.

Like hot iron meeting a block of ice. A hissing sound rang out in the ears, Adam himself saw the black substance slightly evaporate.

In the next instant, a fishy and rotten fragrance filled the room. Adam frowned, but still continued to suppress the strange substance that enveloped Kevin's right hand.

By the time the black substance disappeared from Kevin's fingers and palms, Adam sensed danger.

"Protective ice talisman."

A protective layer of light blue enveloped Adam. A second later, the strange substance that enveloped Kevin's right hand suddenly became countless hairs and pierced towards him.

Reflected by the protective ice talisman, those sharp hairs scratched the wall even breaking some of the glass in the room.

Seeing the scratched wall and broken glass just like that made the couple become frightened. They know what they see is real.

Seeing his dazed wife, Kevin's father immediately pulled her out of the room.

Adam ignored both of them and focused on reaching for the center where the base of the hair was located. The young man then immediately pulled it, like he was pulling vines from the ground. Maybe because it was rooted deep enough, Kevin immediately shouted in pain.

"YARGHH!!!"

After trying hard, Adam actually managed to pull out the thing. Either the plant or the hair, the point .. he managed to pull it out.

When it was removed, Adam felt it stop moving and lost its power. A while later, after several squirms, the thing faded and disappeared.

The problem ... there is no Spirit Bead!

Not that Adam was greedy, on the contrary, he knew that if the creature were to be completely wiped out. Which means, whatever the creature is .. he has not perished.

Adam then looked at Kevin's hand which was back to normal. But his eyes narrowed when he saw a strange little mark on the back of the boy's hand.

"This ..."

Looking at the indistinct number 3-like mark in red, the young man's expression changed.

Is ... is this a curse? If it is true ...

Adam's expression became more serious. If the assumption is correct, it means that the enemy is very strong. Can make a curse as strong as that .. he felt a considerable threat.

"Has everything finished, Mr Owl?"

Kevin's father's voice resuscitates Adam from his daydream. Taking a deep breath, he replied.

"Yes. You can come in."

Getting permission from Adam, the couple went into the room. Seeing the messy room and the fishy and stinging aroma made the two frown. Even Kevin's mom looks like she's gonna puke.

Seeing the unconscious Kevin, the two of them immediately approached him. Seeing that their son had only fainted from exhaustion, the two looked relieved.

"Has everything been taken care of, Mr Owl?"

"For a while, all is safe."

Hearing Adam's indifferent remark, the two looked surprised.

"You mean ..." Kevin's father seemed hesitant.

"Do you two have enemies in business, maybe love affairs, or something?"

"Why did you suddenly ask that, Mr Owl?" ask Kevin's mom.

"Your son has some kind of strange curse. It's so strange that I don't understand what a curse is.

If the curse was normal, it should have been removed. But it's different, the sign is still there. It looks like it could come back anytime. More precisely, grow again."

Hearing Adam's words, the two looked at each other with terrified expressions. They both seem to think hard. But he could only shake his head.

"I don't know. As far as we know .. we do not have many enemies, not to mention enemies who hate very much.

There is absolutely nothing. At least we think so. We have never felt hurt or taken away anyone else's business. We also don't feel like we have any problems in the relationship. Honestly ... We really don't know, Mr. Owl."

Looking at the two who looked depressed, Adam could only let out a long sigh. At that moment, his hair suddenly stood up. He directly scanned the entire area around him, but did not find anything.

Who was watching me just now?

Feeling himself open under the light while the enemy hid in the shadows made Adam feel depressed.

Looking at Kevin's figure, his hands clenched tightly. The young man then mumbled softly.

"It seems .. I can only wait for Kevin to come to his senses first."
