Chapter 31 Exploitation

A curse, an interesting curse.

The effect is that people's luck will be reduced, so they will suffer various accidents and eventually lose their lives.

This has caused Tom Cruise to constantly encounter dangerous incidents recently, including the poisoning of eucalyptus in front of him.

The poisonous spider was not deliberately released, but a natural accident.

It was the poisonous spider that crawled into the coffee machine and was stimulated to release its venom, which then blended into the coffee of Coven and Tom Cruise.

This is all due to Tom Cruise's extremely bad luck.

If Coven hadn't been aware of it, I'm afraid Tom Cruise would have been poisoned by this.

Even if the rescue is not timely, Tom Cruise, who is currently in the limelight, may lose his life.

In addition, Kewen finally understood why he had been so calm these two days.

It's because this interesting curse is surprisingly weak.

It is so weak that it can be expelled by any extraordinary power. Even items with some extraordinary power or religious items with some power of faith can make the power of the curse ineffective.

Therefore, when Kewen stayed with Tom Cruise, the power of the curse would naturally no longer affect the other person. The curse was dispelled by Kewen's breath.

It wasn't until Coven completely restrained all his aura that the power of the curse reappeared after brewing all night and fell on Tom Cruise.

As for why Kewen failed to discover the truth earlier?

Just because the power of the curse was too small, it was perfectly covered up by the extraordinary aura in this city.

Under the breath of heaven, the breath of hell, and even all kinds of messy extraordinary breaths, the weak curse power is perfectly hidden within it.

Ke Wen still followed the clues from the poisonous spider, and only then did he get to the source of the cursed power.

…

anyway.

at this time,

Tom Cruise is waiting for the answer with a somewhat ferocious expression.

He wanted to know who was trying to harm him.

In response, Kewen shook his head and said: "The spider was an accident, but I know what happened to you. You are cursed, a curse that makes your luck extremely low."

"curse?!"

Tom Cruise took a slight breath and frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"how?"

Kewen asked curiously: "Did you think of anything?"

"I am not sure."

Tom Cruise shook his head, and then he glanced quickly at the police around him. It was obvious that some words were inappropriate to say in the current environment.

Ke Wen nodded slightly in understanding, and then said: "Let's talk about it back to the hotel then. I have gathered the conditions to complete the commission. I can complete your commission at any time. Of course, it would be better if you could add some information. .”

Tom Cruise said "hmm" and signaled to go back and talk.

A lot of time was wasted next.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Tom Cruise walked out of the police station.

Returning to the nanny's car, he said to Coven who was waiting in the car: "It's all been dealt with. I've given up the complaint. Let's go back to the hotel now."

There is nothing wrong with science and technology.

More than ten minutes later, the nanny car parked at the door of the hotel. Coven and Tom Cruise took the elevator upstairs and entered the superior room.

Tom Cruise didn't ask his agent to follow him.

After closing the door, the two entered the suite again, and Tom Cruise said: "Kewen, maybe you have heard that I joined a sect."

"I heard something." Ke Wen nodded.

Tom Cruise continued: "I think it was my 'auditing' ceremony in the church that took effect!"

"What kind of ceremony?"

Ke Wen became interested. He only knew that the other party had joined a cult, but he didn't know what the ritual called 'Auditory Analysis' was.

This is the DC universe, maybe this ritual actually has some extraordinary power.

At this time, Tom Cruise was very excited after listening to Coven's inquiry.

He seemed to be a brainwashed person, and said quickly with a feverish expression: "That is a confession ceremony that gives people an extraordinary experience!"

"During the confession ceremony, you will feel that your spirit has ascended to another level! The sins and pain hidden in your heart will be exposed and accepted for baptism!"

“That’s a sublimation!

"

Tom Cruise preached loudly with excitement and obsession: "Did you know?! 75 million years ago! In order to solve the problem of overpopulation, the leader of the 'Zenyu' of the Galactic Alliance sent billions of aliens Earth and threw them into volcanoes to burn them to death!”

"This is the source of human suffering!"

Tom Cruise yelled in confusion: "The remaining souls of the dead are attached to human beings! This has caused suffering and sin to us humans!"

While Coven was stunned, Tom Cruise stared at Coven excitedly and said, "And the 'auditing' ceremony in our church is a ceremony to drive away those possessed souls!"

He lowered his head and touched his chest excitedly, and grinned: "I understand! It's because I'm almost successful! It's because I'm about to get rid of those souls with the blessing of the ritual!"

"They must be very unwilling! So they made a final struggle and cursed me!"

"That must be it!

"

Tom Cruise jumped for joy: "Kevin! This means that I am about to sublime!

Once I get rid of those spirits! Then I will never have pain again! I can even master extraordinary powers like you!

"

Kewen was confused.

Can such a ridiculous cult slogan really win over people?

But looking at the enthusiastic Tom Cruise in front of him, Coven felt that he had nothing to say.

At the same time, he couldn't help but search for memories in the other person's head.

He wanted to see the true face of the 'auditing analysis' ceremony.

But after learning the truth, Kewen was completely dumbfounded.

Audition?

That's just an unprofessional hypnosis ceremony.

It was a kind of brainwashing carried out through hypnotic rituals based on the believers' beliefs.

Even if you hire a professional hypnotist.

But what about the cult behind Tom Cruise? The hypnotist I found was half-assed.

If it weren't for the believers' self-conception because of their faith, I'm afraid the hypnotist wouldn't be able to hypnotize anyone at all.

Anyone who has a little bit of shaky faith in their heart can easily resist the hypnosis.

Looking at Tom Cruise who was preaching endlessly in front of him, Coven was completely speechless.

He wanted to quit and not take this job.

But Tom Cruise is now too popular in the entertainment industry, which can easily worsen the firm's reputation.

Therefore, Kewen could only choose to cut through the mess quickly.

He raised his hand to stop Tom Cruise's nagging, and then took out the cursed power he had collected.

"Mr. Cruise."

Ke Wen said in a distant tone: "I regret to tell you that you guessed wrong. It is not an alien soul that cursed you."

"What?" Tom Cruise was stunned.

"I will take you to find the murderer now and complete this commission completely."

Coven didn't want to waste any more time, so he cast the spell immediately.

He summoned a magic circle that combined tracking and portal in front of him, and he put the cursed aura into the magic circle.

Then he pushed his hand and a portal quickly opened in front of him.

A wave of heat hit my face instantly.

Opposite the portal is a barren wilderness, with nothing but sand and gravel, and no green plants at all.

Corwin stepped directly through the portal, and Tom Cruise followed quickly with shining eyes.

"interesting……"

Kewen looked at the scene in front of him and smiled.

"Hello, Mr. Corwin Quinn."

A man who was sweating because of his suit and ties spoke.

"This is……"

Tom Cruise was also stunned.

He looked at the man who spoke, and then at a short, stocky black woman following the man in a suit.

Then, Tom Cruise continued to look away.

He saw nearly two hundred American soldiers, armored vehicles, and an armed helicopter that landed on the ground and opened its missile launch port.

But no one here paid attention to Tom Cruise.

The man in the suit continued to say to Coven: "Introduce yourself, Army Major General Ron Nightingale."

"so……"

Ke Wen smiled and tilted his head: "You arranged this all?"

"That's right."

Major General Nightingale nodded and admitted: "We need to lure you to this no-man's land for negotiations, so we took advantage of it a little bit..."

At this point, Major General Nightingale glanced at the dull Tom Cruise.

At this, Kewen chuckled.

He said sarcastically: "Aren't you upholding human rights? He is still a citizen of your country and even a celebrity in the entertainment industry, and you just take advantage of him at will?"

"Tom Cruise."

The short, stocky black woman behind the major general suddenly answered.

She recited information about Tom Cruise: "Scientology members participate in cult activities and directly or indirectly cause crimes such as defrauding members of their property, illegal imprisonment, torture, and even murder."

"nonsense--"

Tom Cruise suddenly screamed.

The black woman raised her eyes and glanced at the other person, then raised her hand and moved her fingers.

A heavily armed soldier immediately pointed his gun at Tom Cruise.

This made Tom Cruise shut up in panic.

The black woman then continued: "Scientology is a cult. The top management exploits the property of believers to make profits and develops business. The current market value has exceeded five billion US dollars."

“The cult has private torture camps inside, and colludes with politics and business from the outside.”

"Since the establishment of the cult, it has resulted in 61 disappearances and more than 30 suicides!"

The word suicide was emphasized.

Then the black woman continued: "According to our investigation results, we actually learned that those disappearances and suicides were orders of killing from the top of the cult."

"Such a cult, such a person in a high position in the cult..."

Glancing at Tom Cruise again, the black woman said with an expressionless expression: "Even if you die because of being used by us, it's not a pity to die."
