Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 945 12. Cursed Titles
Chapter 945 Twelve. Cursed Titles
"Thank you... meow."
Lu Li fulfilled his promise.
Fodort tried to brush the ends of his forehead with a pretense of indifference, but was stunned.
"It's nothing... what?"
When she recovered, Lu Li had already left the classroom with the book.
"The Story of Cory LaVar"
This is an autobiographical book. At least the first half, only the experience of this hunter named Corey Laval.
The "curse title" that Lu Li cares about is in the second half of the story. Deep in a grotesque lair, Corey LaVar unleashes the cursed title before dying.
That is a mysterious and incredible power, like divine revelation, making it difficult to suppress the urge to pray devoutly. But the source of this piety is not any god, but the earth, but the sky, but the world itself.
With power as if the world bestowed it, Corey LaVar nearly destroyed the monstrous lair, escaping before the lair leader woke from his slumber.
Back in the human world, Corey LaVar learned the description of this power: Unleash the cursed title.
They are also collectively known as: Weird Title Masters
He went to the Giant Tree Academy in Midnight City, where he learned the crude knowledge of the cursed title while also bringing knowledge to the Academy.
Corey LaVar doesn’t dwell on this story of mutual learning. Maybe because it's not necessary. But if the process is reversed from the results, there are only a dozen pages left, indicating that his story is about to end.
Regarding the cursed title, Corey LaVar described it as a gift from the world...otherwise how to explain the wonder and unleashed power of the cursed title?
It’s just that this release is not without a price. All who have released the cursed title feel some kind of absence, as if the soul had been devoured by a piece of it.
And worse, once the cursed title is released, the next release is effortless.
The description on the book is: Cory LaVar described it as "like a can that has been opened" (Note: Modified. Cory LaVar told the original text about prostitutes).
This brings a terrible hidden danger to all those who have released the cursed title: because of some lack, maintaining the state of releasing the cursed title can bring a sense of security.
And maintaining the title of releasing the curse will continue to lose the "soul".
The vicious circle of makes this power seem addictive.
Corey LaVar is one of them. Even with countless warnings, he could not restrain the amniotic warmth and safety of his mother's amniotic fluid from releasing the cursed title.
And wondering if it was his hallucination or not, he noticed that the weird wasn't so interested in him anymore.
At least when he and the others are out of human range, Weird prefers to attack other people rather than him.
Humanity.
Lu Li thought when he saw this.
Humanity is the protection that wraps the mind. The less it is, the more sanity is exposed.
The loss of security due to the lack of humanity allows the eccentric title masters to use this power more frequently, at the cost of thinning humanity and the undisguised exposure of sanity to a dangerous world.
Only the last page of the book was left, and as Lu Li opened it, the ending of the story appeared.
Like the other weird title masters who have passed away, the ending for Corey LaVar is no exception.
At the end of the story, he walked into the wilderness alone and never came back.
Returning to the beginning from the embarrassing end page, Lu Li found that Corey Laval was his senior—he was also a student of Giant Tree Academy.
So after becoming the master Currie LaVar returned to his alma mater, so his autobiography would be in the college library.
There is a place to remember for Corey LaVar: aside from a relatively tragic childhood and adventures in the wilderness after graduation, only the Big Tree Academy career is the most documented.
Lu Li learned about the Giant Tree Academy at that time.
The rules of the Giant Tree Academy at the beginning of its establishment were still rough, and the rules of the exorcist period were largely followed.
Learn, get in touch, and finally graduate by tackling the weirdness.
The Weird Knowledge class was the main course at the time, and cognates were their means of fighting the weird. Courses in which occultism and alchemy are integrated into bizarre systems are rejected——
Such rules are obviously fraught with evil in weird times—they're all over the place, as if they were born with them.
The current Giant Tree Academy has obviously embarked on a different path, a path that coexists with weirdness.
…
The next morning, breakfast time.
Lu Li, whose side effects disappeared, came to Professor Hagrid's mysticism office and brought the copy of "The Story of Currie Laval".
"That might be human nature."
"Humanity?"
Professor Hagrid was stunned subconsciously. Seeing the title of the book that Lu Li put on the table, he realized that he had read the book and made a comment.
"You mean the release of the cursed title consumes something?"
"Um."
Humanity is just what Lu Li calls it. It can also be called the Soul-fired Fuel Garment.
In the next time, Lu Li talked about his cognition of human nature. Because it was breakfast time, they went to the auditorium to eat and talk.
So the students found that Lu Li was sitting in the professor's chair today, strangely without any violation.
"Lu Li has become a professor!" This was Dog Meat's exclamation.
He is avoiding me?
Fdot thought angrily.
The old professor in the weird knowledge class next to the conversation between Lu Li and Professor Hagrid was also listening and occasionally commenting.
When Lu Li finished talking about everything he knew about human nature, Professor Hagrid praised Lu Li: "I am honored for your erudition."
What was even more exciting was the old professor of the weird knowledge class. He even saluted Lu Li respectfully in front of the students' astonished gazes: "I'm glad you took the initiative to reveal the secret..."
Don't hide talent.
Don't hide the gift that saves others.
Don't hide the gift of saving others in the destruction of the world.
Giant Tree Academy was born for this reason, and has been supported by many ancient families and mysterious sects.
Only the strongest and united ship will survive the storm, and the selfish will only be cast aside.
Lu Li's theory of human nature will fill in a large missing piece of the puzzle for cursed titles and other studies of the occult, such as occultism and alchemy.
Unfortunately, the theory needs time to test—they have to wait until Lu Li becomes the controller of the cursed title to confirm whether human nature exists, and whether the release of the cursed title consumes human nature.
If it is true, in addition to Lu Li's legendary reputation, he can also get a lot of credits from the Giant Tree Academy for his contributions.
Unfortunately, for Lu Li, who had already controlled the cursed title at that time, the credits were useless.
"Can you find the master of the cursed title?" Lu Li said at this time.
After being confirmed by Professor Hagrid and the old professor, Lu Li lowered his black eyes and stared at the left hand inlaid with the fragments of redemption.
"I can absorb and give humanity."
As a result, many students who had breakfast in the auditorium were puzzled to see that the professors in the seats crowded and left.
