The Cursed One : The Darkside of The World

The Shocking Recovery

THE NEXT MORNING

The rooster sound was heard all over the place, waking up some of the people from their sleep. Jin is sitting at the edge of the bed. He is surprised when he wakes up this early morning in an unknown place with many acupuncture needles are sticking all over his body and he removes them one by one.

Jin sitting on the edge of the bed for a while, trying to figure out what has happened to him. The last thing that he can remember is when he forced himself to contain the suicidal explosion from the crazy old lady and he can't remember anything after that until he awoke this morning. He decided to go out of the room to find out where he is right now. He tries to stands up and moves all the parts of his body and he feels as fresh as ever. No pain or injury that he feels, even the slightest. He knows if he should be injured badly after he pulls out Queen Aghs'tya's energy beyond the limit of his body.

"Is this because of the help of my mother's gem again?" Jin touching her mother's gem that hanging on his neck and looks at it. If he thinks about it, this gem had saved his life many times, when he was beaten badly by a horde of robbers that being sent by the Mangkook family who also killed Jung Kook, when he almost died after the fight with Rot'un Jere, and in many other else occasion.

He closes his eyes to feels his mother's love through the gem. "Thank you, Mother." He is so grateful that his mother leaves him that powerful healing gem before her death. Although he cannot remember anything about his parents because of the Heavenly Memory Eraser poison that someone gave to him, he can feel if his parents love him very much with the protection from their legacy that hanging on his neck.

Before Jin walks out of the room, he hears footsteps outside the room and he knows if it belonged to an ordinary old man's footstep. The old servant opened the door and he is shocked beyond anything when he sees Jin standing until he drops the medicine and the water that he carries in his hands. "Holy God! How is this possible!?" His eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what he saw in front of his very eyes. A person who a few hours ago lay down on the bed, fainted because of the severe internal injury, and can be dead anytime, is now standing and look fresh as if nothing happened to him. For a time being, the old servant only standstill staring at Jin without doing anything, and Jin also doesn't know what to react in this kind of awkward situation for him. Both of them just staring each other until the servant runs in a hurry inside the main house to report to his master. "Master! Master Du Angu! Come here, Master! You've got to see this!" The old servant shouted while running.

Jin feels if he better stay inside the room until he knows who the owner is and what has happened to him. He walks to the door to take the medicine and the water container that were scattered on the floor. After putting those items on the table, he chooses to sit down on the bed while waiting for anyone that will show up. He is sure if the owner of the house is a good person and doesn't have any bad intentions for him.

Two men running hurriedly to Jin's room. Their face looks tense and both of them are in a deep curiosity, they are Du Angu and his old servant. "Holy God! Please be mercy on us! What in the world is happening in here!? How is this possible?!" Du Angu's can not believe what happened to Jin even he sees it with his own eyes.

Jin sees another man that he doesn't recognize enters the room. He stands and walks forward before clenching his fist as he knows if the one who just arrived is the owner of the house and he wants to greets the man properly and politely. "Greeting, Mister. Thank you for helping me. My name is Jin. May I know where am I and who you are?"

Du Angu doesn't answer Jin's question and circling Jin's body while staring thoroughly instead. He still cannot believe and doesn't understand what has happened in front of his eyes. "A...are you okay?!" Du Angu's mouth feels difficult to speak because he is too shocked.

"Yes, Sir. I am completely fine." Jin answered confidently. Anyway, he doesn't feel any pain at all.

"Impossible... This is impossible!" Du Angu still can not accept what he sees. "I believe you are dying just a few hours ago, how can you be healed instantly like this?! I can swear to God on behalf of my reputation, no way I misdiagnosed your condition last night."

Jin feels hesitant to answer. He is afraid if he tells the truth about the gem and the information about the gem's ability spread to the world, many greedy persons will try to possess it and try to take it from his hand. He will be targeted by many people, not to mention the assassin that will make him unable to sleep well every night. Although he doesn't afraid to fight anyone who wants to harm him, he doesn't want to go through that kind of difficulty in his whole life. "I don't know, Sir, maybe, I was just lucky." Jin answered diplomatically.

Du Angu doesn't believe if it is just a coincidence or just a luck. During his 40 years of life as a healer that he started when he was 22 years old after his teacher passed away, he never met this kind of condition where a person with the severe internal injury can heal just within a few hours without any magical medicine. He will believe if Jin healed fast after taking the medicine from Hu Huaiyu, The King Of Medicine, but, Hu Huaiyu still not coming to his place yet.

"Is he already coming to this place?! Where is he?!" Du Angu asked while turning his head in all directions, he thought if Hu Huaiyu has arrived and gave Jin a special medicine, that's the only explanation that he can accept regarding Jin's super-fast recovery. He even goes outside to look for Hu Huaiyu before entering the room again. "Where is he?!" Du Angu asked Jin again.

"I am sorry, Sir. I don't know what are you talking about." Jin answered in confusion.

"Don't lie to me! Ask him to come here!" Du Angu doesn't believe if Jin doesn't know where Hu Huaiyu is right now. "Are you made a deal with him?!" He thought if Jin made a deal with Hu Huaiyu by Informing about the way Jin survived the Black Devil Curse in exchange of the medicine for Jin's severe internal injury.
