It was already dark, Feiling was holding an oil lamp and walking in the city of Constant, looking for strange corpses.
Snap!
He stepped into a house that was dilapidated due to a fierce battle and saw a humanoid corpse.
The corpse was wearing tattered clothes and its skin was green.
There are fangs exposed in the mouth, which is particularly ferocious.
In addition to its eyes, there is actually a blood-red eye between its eyebrows.
"Contact mystery, mystery points increase by 0.3."
He walked over, and words immediately appeared and disappeared in front of his eyes.
This is a strange corpse, but it is a pity that because the death time was too long, the extraordinary power on the body was dispersed and transferred, and only a little bit remained, giving him only 0.3 mystery points.
Turning around, he prepared to leave.
Suddenly, words appeared and disappeared quickly before his eyes again.
"Contact mystery, mystery points will increase by 3.1."
Seeing the words that appeared and disappeared quickly, he stopped, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"..."
There is no second strange corpse in the room, and a new prompt will appear. The reason can only be that other "things" triggered the panel.
Now he knows that things that can trigger the panel and cause the panel to react include weird things, cultists, and cursed objects.
The two possibilities of weirdness and cultism are ruled out, and the reason can only be cursed objects.
"I didn't expect my luck to be so good!"
In the process of searching for the strange corpse, Felin discovered.
There are many mystics like him who are looking for strange corpses all over the city, including those from the Security Bureau and other mysterious organizations. His behavior does not appear to be unusual for ordinary people.
It's not that these people, like him, can obtain mysterious points through strange corpses, but these people are looking for cursed objects.
There are more than 200 weird ones used by Gnawing Fang to arrange the Red Festival. With so many weird deaths, even if it is based on probability, a cursed object will inevitably be born.
Although most of the cursed objects have strong side effects, and those who have not practiced the esoteric eye of identification will pay an extremely heavy price for using them, this does not affect the value of the cursed objects at all.
In addition to being used as extraordinary items, cursed objects can also be used as materials for arcane enlightenment rituals and materials for refining alchemical items.
These two methods of use ensure the value of the cursed object.
Therefore, after speculating that a cursed object was likely to be born, many mystics began to search for it.
He never thought that he would be so lucky that he would encounter a cursed object.
"Eye of Appraisal!"
He used his discerning eye, and the hole in his right eye turned blue.
In front of his eyes, floating introduction text appeared on the items in the room.
To find out the cursed objects, the average mystic can only touch them one by one with their hands. After the cursed objects come into contact with the body, they can produce the characteristics of induction, thus determining whether they are cursed objects.
But he is different because he has the Eye of Appraisal. He does not need to go to such trouble. He can find the cursed object just by using the identification ability of the Eye of Appraisal.

…
Felin's eyes scanned the introduction text of the items in the room one by one. When he saw the introduction text of one of the items, his eyes froze.
"found it!"
He walked over and picked it up.
This is a very ordinary ring, at least according to Felin's professional perspective.
The material is ordinary silver, without gemstones.
The workmanship is also very ordinary, just the shape of a flower is engraved on the front of the ring.
The carving technique has no spirituality and can only be regarded as mediocre. It should have been made by an unknown jewelry craftsman.
And such an ordinary item has become a precious and cursed object.
For humans, items are classified as high or low, but for extraordinary powers, there is obviously no such distinction. All items have the same probability of being parasitized.
Felin looked carefully at the floating text introduction next to the ring.
Category: Cursed Object
Name: Soul Ring
Grade: Type I
Extraordinary ability: can release soul attack, causing soul damage to the enemy.
Side effects: When used, a large amount of the target's blood will be extracted, which will most likely cause the target to die from blood loss.
Side effects after weakening: Extracting the blood of the target may cause the target to become comatose due to anemia.
"What serious side effects!"
Felin raised his eyebrows when he saw the side effects of this cursed object. This was the most serious side effect of a cursed object he had ever seen.
The side effect of Yesterday's Clock is that you will randomly lose half a month of memory every half hour of use.
Although memory will be lost, due to the relevance of memory, as long as it is not used for a long time, there will be no loss of key memories.
The side effect of the Fang of Madness is that after using it, you will lose your rationality and turn into a crazy beast.
Although it will lose its rationality and become like a beast, at least it is not life-threatening. As long as the user is knocked unconscious, the user can recover.
And the cursed object in front of me is very likely to cause the death of the user after being used.
This kind of side effect is far stronger than the Bell of Yesterday and the Fang of Madness. Even among the many cursed objects, it must be an extremely serious side effect.
"The ability is what I urgently need, but unfortunately the side effects are too serious."
"Even after the Eye of Appraisal is weakened, it will draw blood and cause anemia and coma."
Feilin shook his head secretly.
Although the mysterious gun is powerful, it cannot hurt weird things like ghosts. The extraordinary ability of the soul ring can completely make up for this weakness of his.
But the side effects were too strong, even the side effects of anemia and coma were not something he could accept.
He will not use this cursed object until the Eye of Appraisal is upgraded to a higher level and the side effects are weakened to a lower level.
To avoid losing it, he put the ring on his left little finger.
Then, he left this place and went to other places to find strange corpses.
…
Late at night, the mystics of the Security Bureau, including Felin, returned to the Security Bureau one after another.
In an open space of the Security Bureau, five bodies were placed side by side on stretchers.
Some corpses can be seen with hideous wounds, and some corpses have become mutilated...
Felin and others who returned to the Security Bureau came here and looked at the five corpses in silence.
Since it is a battle, people are bound to die, this is inevitable.
These five corpses are the mystics sacrificed by the Security Bureau this time.
