Curse Back: From Demonic Hollow to Heroic Spirit Summoning.

Crash.

There was the sound of rain coming from the hotel bathroom.

In the living room, Yingzhi was lying lazily on the sofa.

I have been going around exorcising cursed spirits these days.

Although these cursed spirits are not very powerful, they will still be tiring running around.

Da da da.

Yingzhi's fingers rapidly tapped the keys on his phone, typing each word in the text message before he clicked send.

The one chatting with Eiji was Altria.

She had just finished all the exorcism tasks.

Currently, Artoria is helping a newly awakened sorcerer to seek justice.

According to Altria, the little sorcerer saved his classmates, but his classmates turned around and accused the little sorcerer of hurting them.

“Hah.”

Yawning, Yingzhi put down his phone.

Altria used to be the Knight King, so little things like this are no problem for her.

Click.

There was a sound of a door opening from the direction of the bathroom.

After changing his clothes, Shidao Naji walked out of the bathroom and sat opposite Yingzhi.

Yingzhi looked up.

Beige short sleeves + blue jeans.

After taking a shower, her face was still a little flushed, like a ripe apple.

"So, tell me about your situation and why you are there alone."

"that is because......"

Shidao Naji's voice was hesitant.

"If you don't tell me, I'll call your parents right now. You don't want to..."

Before Yingzhi could finish his words, Shidao Naji interrupted Yingzhi in panic.

"No, no."

Looking at Shidao Naji who bit his lips but couldn't help but speak, Yingzhi nodded with satisfaction.

Zenin Hideji has already found out the identity of the lost island Najima, and also found a police record.

Shidao Naji lied to his family that he was going to stay at a classmate's house for a few days. However, when Shidao Naji's mother and his classmate's mother inquired about Shidao Naji's situation, they found out that Shidao Naji did not go to stay at his classmate's house.

Najib’s parents couldn’t find him anywhere on the island and reported the case to the police.

"By the way, your mother is driving to your hometown."

"No, they are just ordinary people and can't go."

This sentence broke the last psychological defense of Najib who lost the island.

Looking at Najib's reaction after losing the island, Yingzhi seemed to be thinking about something.

Could it be that there is something dangerous for ordinary people on the small island where Najib’s hometown was lost?

Yingzhi took out the map given by Zenin Shuji, and then looked at the hometown of Naji on the lost island.

Same island.

"There are shadow crocodiles on that island."

"Tell me more specifically."

"The Shadow Crocodile is a cursed spirit sealed by a powerful sorcerer invited by the ancestors of the village."

"But a year ago, a group of outsiders broke the seal of the Shadow Crocodile, and my grandmother was killed by the Shadow Crocodile."

At first, Najib thought that his grandmother had died of a gas leak as reported in the news. It was only until some time ago that he learned the truth about his grandmother's death from his parents.

"I see. Do you want to avenge your grandmother?"

"Ah."

The girl lowered her head, not wanting Yingzhi to see her cowardly side.

Naji from Shidao is a very strong-willed girl, otherwise she wouldn't have come alone to avenge her grandmother.

However, Najim couldn't be tough in front of Yingzhi.

On the one hand, Yingzhi had just saved him, and on the other hand, Najima knew how powerful Yingzhi was.

Can't beat it, can't beat it at all.

"How much do you know about Shadow Crocodile?"

After hearing what Najima said, Yingzhi felt that he was one step closer to the truth.

“My grandmother told me some of them.”

Naji, who lost his island, began to recall the stories his grandmother told him when he was a child.

"A long time ago, there were two villages on the Lost Island, East Village on the east side of the island and West Village on the west side of the island. The village chiefs of both villages were the village sorcerers."

"Because the island is not big, the two villages often fight over resources."

"Later, Nishimura rescued a stranger who was shipwrecked and received several books and a jar from him."

"My grandmother said that jar was the beginning of all the disasters."

"The jar contains a special cursed spirit, the Shadow Crocodile. That cursed spirit is a killing weapon made with a spell similar to that of Gu poison."

"Poison?"

Yingzhi heard a word from the lost island Naji that made him concerned.

"Yes, it was poison. Although the victim's luggage was soaked in seawater and many things were damaged, the people in Xicun still reconstructed his experience based on some of the interpretable parts."

"That sorcerer came from the mainland. His family once used poisonous spells to make a large number of cursed spirits devour and merge with each other, and finally obtained a powerful cursed spirit shadow crocodile."

"That family used pre-prepared means to subdue the Shadow Crocodile and made it into a Shikigami, to use as a weapon for war."

"Later, this family was besieged by other families. In order to escape the enemy's pursuit, they were forced to go to sea, and eventually encountered a shipwreck."

"Is that the shadow crocodile in the jar?"

"Yes, they seemed to believe that as long as they could breed another powerful Shadow Crocodile, they would be able to make a comeback. That's why that man held the jar that sealed the Shadow Crocodile until his death."

"Why didn't you throw the can into the sea?"

"Not us, we are the East Village, the West Village has perished."

Perish?

Yingzhi thought of something.

"They opened the seal of Shadow Crocodile?"

"Yes, the people of West Village chose to raise shadow crocodiles in order to occupy the resources on the island."

"Their village chief bound and controlled the new, still weak shadow crocodile according to the method in the book, and then kept feeding it cursed spirits, and even attacked the people of East Village who went out to sea to fish."

"But the information obtained by the people of West Village was too incomplete. When the shadow crocodile became more and more powerful, they were ultimately unable to restrain the shadow crocodile, and in the end the shadow crocodile killed all the people of West Village."

"Later, the shadow crocodiles would occasionally emerge from the caves in the West Village and begin preying on the people of the East Village."

"The village chief died in battle to protect the villagers, and many villagers were scared and fled in the end."

"In order to protect the village, the newly appointed village chief took all the money of the village to the island country to find a sorcerer who could deal with the shadow crocodile. Fortunately, he found it, and the shadow crocodile was finally sealed in the cave of the west village."

After the story was told, Najib, who had lost his island, felt a little disappointed and looked out the window into the distance.

In the past, she always thought that the stories her grandmother told her were just legends and should not be taken seriously.

Although he is the only young person in the village who possesses cursed power and can become a sorcerer, Shidao Nagi does not want to become a sorcerer.

The parents of Najib, who lost his island, also agreed with this.

Shidao Naji doesn't want to become a sorcerer because once he becomes a sorcerer, he will have to stay in the village for the rest of his life and become a village guardian.

This is unacceptable for Najib, a lost islander who yearns for a modern big city and wants to go out and see the outside world with his own eyes.

The thoughts of Najib's parents who lost their island were much simpler.

They simply don't like their children doing such dangerous work.

Although they were not sorcerers, they learned some about the work of sorcerers through the elders in the village.

Fight, get hurt, and even die.

They don't want their daughter to go down this path.
