I Have A Dual World Seal

"The aftereffects from Pharaoh Country have arrived."

"Someone died?"

"Not yet, but their symptoms are becoming more severe."

"Oh?"

"The guy who got his head bitten off by a panther now suffers from constant headaches, and painkillers, even morphine, don’t work."

"The one who’s been invaded by a scarab is itching all over. He’s already bound up completely because he scratches himself raw."

"And those wrapped to death by the mummy’s shroud can only maintain life through oxygen tanks because their tracheas are narrowing and hardly functioning."

"Tsk tsk, who would’ve thought that the Heart Nightmare Curse would be so powerful?"

At this moment, Lu Zheng was lying on the living room sofa watching TV, with Lin Wan sitting beside him, discussing news she got from Interpol’s internal network.

"After examination, the conclusion is that these symptoms are actually caused by self-suggestion." Lin Wan said, "Even those with narrowing tracheas have hormonal disorders, which are also related to psychological issues."

"So modern instruments indeed can’t detect curse spells." Lu Zheng said earnestly, "They can only detect results but fail to find the cause of hormonal disorders."

"But this makes things even more suspicious; many people have almost confirmed the curse’s authenticity." Lin Wan shrugged.

"Nobody suspects hypnosis? It’s also a form of psychological suggestion." Lu Zheng asked.

"Of course there are doubts about it, but wouldn’t a curse and hypnosis coexist?"

Lin Wan said, "Some suspect that the ancient Pharaoh’s curse is actually a kind of hypnotic curse that induces psychological suggestion, eventually leading to self-death."

"And the current issue is..."

Lin Wan shrugged, "Nobody has been able to find relevant evidence to prove this, so they hired the world’s top psychologists to go to Cairo for research."

Lu Zheng was taken aback by the news, "The world’s top psychologists? Isn’t that..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zheng’s phone rang. Lin Wan glanced at it and saw "Edward Craven" on the screen.

"International Association of Psychologists."

Lu Zheng shook his head, said a word, and answered the call, "Hello? Mr. Craven!"

"Mr. Lu, just call me Edward." Edward said on the phone, "Do you have time lately? I’d like to invite you to participate in a research project, this project..."

"The Ancient Pharaoh Country’s curse incident, right?"

"You know?" Edward was surprised.

The Pyramid Museum incident, although well spread in Cairo circles, remained mostly rumor and had never hit official news.

Though each country has dedicated significant attention and concern to this matter, it has never made it to the news media.

Edward only learned a rough idea from rumors, but he had only learned the specifics recently.

How did Lu Zheng know?

Lu Zheng said nonchalantly, "My wife is with Interpol and was one of the first batch of bodyguards for archaeologists in Cairo."

Edward, "..."

"Alright, since that’s the case, you probably have a good grasp of the situation of this incident."

Edward said excitedly, "Isn’t it fascinating whether the ancient Pharaoh curse might be a mysterious hypnosis technique developed thousands of years ago, able to curse through relics across millennia?"

"Not really interested." Lu Zheng said, "I fear falling victim to the curse and dying unexpectedly."

Edward, "..."

"Actually, it’s not that mythical; see, countries’ historians and archaeologists have already thoroughly examined those artifacts, but nothing abnormal happened, did it?"

Edward very much hoped Lu Zheng would go, "You’re the most competent psychologist I’ve ever met. If anyone could solve this ancient mystery, I believe it’s you!"

"I truly appreciate your regards." Lu Zheng laughed, "But I’m genuinely not interested because if the ancient Pharaoh’s curse is real, their intention is not to be disturbed. As their counterparts from thousands of years later, I think we should honor their wishes, don’t you?"

Edward understood Lu Zheng’s meaning but disagreed with his perspective, "But isn’t the point of archeology to understand ancient civilizations and lifestyles?"

"What does your aim have to do with this?" Lu Zheng questioned.

"Their curse is also a cultural relic!" Edward said.

Lu Zheng was speechless, admitting Edward made sense, but the problem was the curse was cast by his wife, and he’d have to be crazy to research air so pretentiously.

"Anyway, I’m not an archaeologist, nor am I interested in ancient Pharaoh civilizations. I respect the ancient Pharaoh counterparts and choose not to disturb them."

"But they’re already lying in museums." Edward said, "Lu, do you know something?"

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, acknowledging Edward was indeed a top psychologist globally; the intention of not wanting to go was somewhat obvious.

"That’s right, I’ve seen those things from my wife." Lu Zheng said, "I have no leads, so I don’t plan to go embarrass myself."

Edward couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, I also reviewed photos and videos of the artifacts, no leads too, so thought to seek you out."

"Sorry, I can’t help."

"Alright, we’ll head over first. If there’s any discovery, I’ll call you."

"I think the Lighthouse Country’s authorities will stop you."

Edward laughed heartily but didn’t continue further, bid farewell, and hung up the phone.

Lu Zheng shrugged and looked at Lin Wan.

Lin Wan smiled and said, "If the Lighthouse Country could unravel such powerful hypnotic curses, would they tell a Hua Country person?"

Lu Zheng shook his head, sighed deeply, "Foolish humans, always wanting to use their understanding to explain all phenomena."

Lin Wan shook her head, shared Lin Jingnan and her conversation with Lu Zheng, "Psychological hypnosis is merely speculation. Some have focused on mysterious forces, starting with global ancient civilization research."

Lu Zheng rubbed his chin and also sighed helplessly, "That’s inevitable; we’ll strike, and the world will eventually notice abnormalities."

They can’t just watch as the strongest typhoon ravages the coast, floodwaters destroy fields, crops, submerge villages, cities.

As for Si Lingxi causing drama in Los Angeles...

No one in Great Jing dares to comment on Si Lingxi’s actions, what can Blue Star’s people say?

Lu Zheng certainly could, but he’s not insane, why blame Si Lingxi for some Lighthouse Country criminals.
