I'm really unnerved in Tokyo

Chapter 503 The Curse of the Daughter of Ugly Times

"No mistake, even the lanterns under these trees are very similar to the 'Spring Lanterns' on the approach steps of Guishen Shrine!"

Kotori Yumami glanced at the lanterns on both sides again, confirming his guess even more.

"However, there has never been a branch of Guishen Shrine in the Kanto area, and there is no record of such a large number of ugly girls visiting collectively..."

"Prayer at the Ugly Time" originated from the Guishen Shrine at the foot of Mount Anma in Sakyo District, Kyoto.

It is said that Arara Yuling who came to Guichuan Mountain on the ugly day of the ugly year and the ugly moon is the cursed god who masters "visiting at the ugly time".

It is rumored that as long as a woman wears white clothes and comes to the Kifune Shrine at night to worship and pray at the time of ugliness, and finally holds a mallet and nails the straw figure or personal things of the cursed person into the Shinto tree, the cursed person will die within seven days. will die.

"In this case, although I don't know what they are visiting now, but before they make other actions, take the initiative to provide services?!"

Hearing that the group of women in white beside him turned out to be such infiltrating ghosts, Sousuke Araki suddenly got goosebumps.

Just when he couldn't hold back and was about to strike first, the "Daughters of Ugly Times" on both sides of the stairs seemed to have finished their worship.

They stood up in unison, their scarlet eyes moved slightly in their long hair, and at the same time they turned to look at the two "uninvited guests" in the middle of the stairs.

Being stared at by so many women with "hungry" eyes at the same time, even though he had confidence in his "resonant physique", Araki Sousuke couldn't stop feeling weak in his lower back.

"Crack... Kick..."

The head kept staring at the two, but the bodies of those ugly women turned 180 degrees against the big tree beside them, causing a burst of spine rubbing and cracking...

"Boom..."

They raised the sledgehammers in their hands and skillfully knocked the thick and long black rusty iron nails into the tree trunk beside them.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

In the woods on both sides of the stone stairs, there was a uniform, gloomy sound of hammering, as if hitting a person's heart.

As the iron nails penetrated into the tree trunk, where the bark splashed, moors of black liquid began to flow out slowly, and the "corpses" hanging on the branches began to cry again.

A rancid smell filled the tip of his nose.

"Be careful, Araki-sensei, they are casting "Ugly Time Ginseng" on us...Ah!"

Seeing the actions of these women, Araki Sousuke subconsciously grasped Kotori Yumami's hand, which made the girl cry out in shock.

According to Mai Hanyu's theory, and Ryoma's description before the second night of Suzumori's execution ground site, people who maintain physical contact with him can also be synchronized for a short period of time with the biomagnetic field, temporarily resisting all kinds of forces driven by the "hidden energy field" spooky effect.

In the next second, in the line of sight of his left eye, countless dark red bloodshots overflowed from the places where the women nailed into the tree trunks, intertwined into an inescapable net, and rushed towards the two of them.

"Be careful, this bloodshot is weird..."

Inadvertently feeling the warm water-like touch in his hand, Araki Sosuke held his breath and concentrated on looking at the bloodshot lingering around him.

"What bloodshot?"

Although he couldn't see any traces of blood, the feeling of palpitations all over his body suddenly tightened like a hedgehog, which made Xiaoniao Yuzhengyu take out several pieces of talisman paper without hesitation, and sprinkle them around.

The talisman paper containing spiritual power danced automatically without wind and surrounded the two of them, as if it was some kind of body defense technique.

However, the blood-colored filament passed through her talisman paper as if entering no one's land, and entangled towards the two of them.

"If you can't even see it... this energy should be the so-called curse?"

It was clearly a hopeless scene, but Sousuke Araki held the priestess beside him with one hand, put one hand in his pocket, and carefully examined the bloody filaments in front of him curiously.

In his shining golden left eye, the bloodshot was continuously magnified as if it were placed under a microscope.

It can be clearly seen that there are countless small blood-colored runes, which follow a certain law and continue to surround each other, forming these strange bloodshots.

"Snapped."

Without warning, a thick black finger with a length of nearly 1.8 meters and burning dark red runes protruded from Sousuke Araki's back...

Judging from the faintly visible black outline, this is still the middle finger stretched out with a clenched fist.

"It's coming, it's really necessary to have a sense of crisis in order to perform better!"

Blessed to the heart, Araki Sousuke's left arm rune flame flowed, and the movement overlapped with the giant middle finger, smashing all the bloodshot flying in the air into ashes.

At this moment, the black middle finger, like a long sword and some kind of exoskeleton device with nerve induction, became an extension of his arm.

The feeling of "like using your arms and fingers" in the true sense is deeply imprinted in Araki Sousuke's instincts, just like when you first learned to swim.

The bloodshot flying all over the sky like the red thread used for weaving was knocked back and forth by the thick and long black fingers he manipulated, and melted into black ash all over the ground.

Seeing that Sousuke Araki seemed to have entered a state of "realization", Yumami Kotori, who was about to strike back with a bow, temporarily slowed down his movements.

"Can you destroy the untraceable "Ugly Time Ginseng" with just one finger?If the existence of Mr. Araki's body shows the whole picture, I'm afraid..."

Although she couldn't see the blood-colored filaments, just looking at the place where the finger passed and the black dust flying down in the sky, she deduced that there must be an invisible curse broken by Sousuke Araki.

That's "Ugly Time Ginseng", once completed, it has the curse of "instant death" effect!

Curses that ignore time and place, have no trace, and do not need to be cast in person, are often the most difficult to detect and cannot be targeted for defense by the Exorcist.

It is said that in order to break the curse of the Ugly Daughter, it must be removed before the curse is completed.

If you let the other party hide in a certain corner, and complete the "ugly time ginseng" curse bestowed by the gods, which can be called "unsolvable"...

If the cursed person hadn't broken away from the "human" level, he would undoubtedly die.

Although I don't know how these "Daughters of Ugly Time" can ignore the legendary seven days and cast a curse on the two of them in an instant...

But obviously the technique of "Ugly Time Ginseng" is not enough in front of Mr. Araki.

"Come again, it's not enough, I need more... Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da..."

Araki Sousuke, who shouted strange mouth cravings and danced with hands and feet, found that the bloodshot from those tree trunks could no longer keep up with his increasingly proficient movements.

All around, the dense forest that was originally shrouded in resentment, as he continued to "plunder", gradually became clear and restored its original appearance of the white mist in the early morning.

Those "Daughters of Ugly Times" began to lose their strength in hammering the tree trunk as the resentment on their bodies diluted.

There was also a trace of confusion in the eyes staring at the two in an anti-human posture.

It seems that in the "Chou Shi Can Practice Guide" they have mastered, there is no teaching how to deal with the situation in front of them.

Just as Araki Sousuke was deepening his understanding of this "manipulation state" by cleaning up the cursed bloodshot flying all over the sky, there was a sound of fine footsteps coming from the bottom of the stairs.

"Oops, are there people coming over?"

The strong light of several flashlights dazzled the two people on the bloody stairs.
