Sigg may be an ‘instigator’, not a ‘conspirator’ as I speculated before.
He may be a member of the Witch Sect or the Gnostic Society.” After considering the information, Abner spoke, “The key now is not this, but how to deal with the cursed magic lines on your body! If you don’t purify it, the attacker will use it to make you lose control again sooner or later.”

Hugh frowned and asked, “It was the curse that you helped me solve just now… Abner, did you see what kind of curse it was? Also, what’s with your white pupils?”

“That’s because I used a supernatural item.” Abner hesitated before continuing, “Through emotions, people lose control.
Most of this curse comes from the abyss path, and it should be a sealed item!”

Previously, Abner had already figured out that the pure white eye could help Hugh return to normal, not because he had the ability to break the curse actively, but because when Hugh looked at him, the caster wanted to spread the curse to him through his sight.
However, it was tragically suppressed by the Pure White Eye’s personality, and the spreading curse power was not only shattered in an instant, but it should have been backlash along the connection! This is why the two of them were not attacked in the subway station.

Abner determined that it was the effect of a sealed item rather than an abyss path extraordinary person because low-sequence spellcasters would not be able to cast from such a long distance.
If a person was personally backlash by such a high-level personality, they might lose control on the spot or even die.
At that time, there was no abnormality on the subway platform or in the carriage, which meant that the caster must still be separated by a layer and only backlash by the sealed object.
But even so, that person would not feel good.

As for the attacker being a middle-to-high Sequence, Abner didn’t even think about it.
It would be too troublesome for such a strong person to deal with their two Sequence 9s.
They might not even know they were attacked until they died.

“The path to the abyss?” Hugh felt that his knowledge was really poor.

“It is also commonly known as the demon sequence.
They are best at playing with emotions and tempting people to fall.” Abner briefly explained.

Hugh nodded, and didn’t ask Abner how he judged that it was a sealed item, but asked in embarrassment, “Then how do I completely remove it?”

“If the Fool came now, we could just pray to him and he would use paper angels to help solve this problem… Unfortunately, the Fool won’t arrive for another month and we’ll have to find a way to find an Extraordinary or items on the path of the sun.”

While thinking wildly, Abner combined the knowledge from the novel with the magic pattern he had just seen and suggested, “This shouldn’t be a particularly high-level curse.
If we can find someone to perform an exorcism ceremony, it might work.”

“Exorcism…do you know how to do it?” Hugh asked, her eyes wide.

Abner sighed inwardly, knowing that he, as a newcomer who had only been in this world for four days, couldn’t possibly know how to do an exorcism.
He kept a calm face and asked, “Do you know any extraordinary circles that might be able to help? For example, the one that will give Klein warmth in the future.”

“But there won’t be a gathering of the extraordinary circle within a week or two…” Hugh said, her head hanging in frustration.
She was experienced enough to know that the curser was likely backlashed and wouldn’t attack again for a short period of time, but that short period of time might only be a day or two, not a week or two.

Feeling responsible for her predicament, Abner decided to help her again.
He thought for a moment and said, “I know someone who has a magical item that might be able to help you, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to contact him.
I can only try.”

“Thank you, Abner!”

“You’re welcome, let’s go!” After Abner finished speaking, he called a taxi on the street and told the driver to take them to the Bridge District on Iron Gate Street.

Sitting in the taxi, Hugh looked at Abner beside her and asked hesitantly, “Are you still planning to go to the shooting club on Strand Street to practice guns today?”

“I can’t go today, so I’ll have to put it off until tomorrow.
I hope Mr.
Diff will forgive me,” Abner replied with a wry smile.

Hugh considered her tone and said, “Actually, if you want to practice guns, you don’t have to spend money to go to the shooting club.
I know a secluded place where we can practice for free.
My marksmanship is very good and I can be your coach.
And I can provide the practice bullets as well.” She felt that she owed Abner a favor and wanted to make it up to him.

Abner’s eyes lit up at the suggestion and he felt that Hugh’s proposal was very convincing.
He then looked at the knight practice uniform Hugh was wearing and had a new idea.
He asked, “What about your fighting skills, Hugh?”

Hugh replied, “I have received complete knight training since I was a child!”

“How about this, I hire you to be my firearms and fighting instructor and pay you with the information and reasoning fees you owe me?” Abner asked brazenly.

“That’s a deal!” Hugh was relieved when she heard the offer, as she didn’t like the feeling of owing others and was happy to repay in this way.

While speaking, the taxi had arrived on Iron Gate Street, and Abner led Hugh to the Bar of the Brave, where they easily found Kaspers.

Kaspers gave Abner and Hugh a strange look and asked, “Why did you come back so soon? What’s the matter this time?”

“I would like to ask you to send a message to the old gentleman who organized the party.
I have completed the study task he assigned to me and I would like to request that he bring a sun brooch to help.
In exchange, I am willing to offer a piece of secret knowledge about the Fourth Epoch.
It would be best if this could be done tonight.”
