COSER, summoned by the strongest

Although the tatami floor in the house is old, it can barely be called clean. Al and Xia Youjie sat down on the tatami floor and asked, "What kind of python are you talking about?"

Holding the tattered doll in her arms, Mimiko replied obediently, "It's a big purple snake with patterns on its body like mushrooms, and there are many scary eyes on its head..."

As soon as they heard this description, they knew that the so-called boa constrictor was definitely a curse spirit.

Al asked her, "You said it's big, but how big is it?"

Mimiko thought about it, raised her hand and gestured: "It's about this thick, thicker than Uncle Fatty's waist."

Hearing this, the blond boy was surprised and said: "Wow, if it's so big, it's basically an adult in one bite, right? Jiejiang, it's a big guy again, we're lucky."

The big curse spirits around Tokyo were eaten up by them and disappeared, leaving only a few teeny-heads. This python curse spirit is really a surprise.

Xia Youjie was also very interested. He asked, "When did you see it? Does it often appear in the village?"

Mimiko shook her head and replied, "It only appeared twice in the village, and it should usually stay in the woods... The first time we saw it was a month ago."

She glanced at Nanako quickly, seeing that Nanako lowered her head and did not object to her continuing to speak, she said, "It just appeared on the other side of the cliff outside the village. We buried our mother on the cliff. We went to see her mother a month ago." That's when we saw the python's tail for the first time."

"Only the tail?"

"Well, I thought it was a mistake at the time." Mimiko said obediently: "Until the dusk of half a month ago, it appeared at the gate of the village. As a result, the old man who lived at the entrance of the village disappeared that night."

When the child mentioned this incident, he was still a little sad: "That grandpa is the best person in the village, he never scolded us, and secretly stuffed us with food..."

Nanako frowned and muttered, "Mimiko..."

Mimiko immediately skipped the subject.

"And then it was a week ago in the morning. We saw it swim out of the village with a person in its mouth, and that person's arm was still moving."

"..."

When a child encounters such a bloody scene, it is considered a strong psychological quality if he is not frightened.

Al asked, "Is that the second missing person?"

"Yes."

Nanako wrinkled her face and said, "We ran into the village and told everyone about it, and asked everyone to rush to save people, but no one believed us, and said we were making up stories..."

Aldo: "Wait, but that person is indeed missing, right?"

"Ah."

"Since you are really missing, why don't they believe you?"

Nanako lowered her head and said in a nonchalant tone, "Because we are good liars, we have always liked to lie to adults."

"...a liar?"

"We often see strange things, not only the boa constrictor, but others. But no one believed us, including parents, who never believed us. Everyone thought we were making up stories. Deliberately attracting the attention of adults."

"..."

Al felt the emotion on the other side of the contract, and reached out to pat the back of Xia Youjie's hand.

"Jay sauce."

Xia Youjie came back to his senses and gave them a friendly smile: "Is this what you saw?"

As if by magic, he conjured a Puff Curse Spirit with a less scary appearance.

"!!!"

Both Nanako and Mimiko were taken aback, not understanding why something like this suddenly jumped out of the room, they subconsciously leaned back, showing stunned expressions of astonishment.

"It's still like this?"

Xia Youjie took out a bunch of small, palm-sized, black villains. The little people held hands and bounced happily back and forth on the tatami floor.

Al: "..."

The magical magic spirit that has never been seen has appeared again!As expected of you!Pokémon Master!

What the hell are you eating, Jay-chan!

Nanako & Mimiko: "..."

Nanako was shocked and said, "This is—"

"This thing is called a curse spirit. People call them monsters or monsters, but the most correct name is a curse spirit. The curse spirit is born from the negative emotions of human beings. Do you know what negative emotions are? "

The two little girls shook their heads suspiciously.

Too.Words like negative emotions are really too complicated for such a young child.

Altixia Youjie explained: "It's anger, anger, fear, sadness and other emotions. These emotions will turn into monsters, but not everyone can see these monsters."

He pointed to his eyes: "Only a very small number of people can see the curse spirit, such as me and Jiejiang, and you, you are all children with the talent of magicians."

"Conjurer...?"

"It's the one who fights this monster. It's a natural talent."

Mimiko asked a little nervously, "Why are you fighting them?"

Xia Youjie explained: "Because these monsters will harm human beings, they were born out of human malice. It is their instinct to hate human beings, and the mission of conjurers is to protect human beings."

Nanako and Mimiko looked nervously at the two curse spirits in front of them. Xia Youjie waved his hand and took the curse spirits back into his body.

"Don't worry, these spell spirits are raised by me, so they won't hurt you."

Nanako asked in surprise, "Why can you raise them?"

Xia Youjie smiled kindly: "Because I am a mantra operator, as the name suggests, I am someone who can manipulate mantras. This is my talent."

Curse spirits, conjurers, manipulative spell spirits, talents...

Nanako, who was shocked by Sanguan, was stunned for a long time, and asked quite nervously, "Are we also talented?"

Xia Youjie replied: "Well, there must be, but I haven't figured it out yet."

"..."

Nanako's eyes lit up, as if looking forward to it.

In order to prevent the child from being disappointed, Al vaccinated her in advance: "But your talent is definitely not magic spells. His talent is very rare. The last magic spell user was more than 1000 years ago, so don't worry about it." Looking forward to the magic spell."

Shikigami can.

According to Al's observation, ordinary shikigami can be seen everywhere, but Xia Youjie is a mutant shikigami at the SSR level.

Nanako clenched her hands tightly, nervously and expectantly said: "Can you teach us?"

Both Al and Xia Youjie were taken aback, "Huh?"

The girl with light brown short hair bit her lip and explained: "That monster will come again, I'm afraid it will eat Mimiko, I must protect Mimiko. I have no family except Mimiko!"

"..."

family……

family.

Al felt his heart twitch violently, and at the same time, emotions similar to his came from the contract.

It was Xia Youjie's emotion.

They looked at each other knowingly.

The word "family" is like a fixed strategy password for the two of them, but... well, it comes from the strategies of children who share the same disease, and they are conquered willingly.

Al patted Nanako's head in relief, and she avoided her unexpectedly. He was not angry, but asked them: "I wanted to ask before, are you twins?"

Nanako nodded.

"Sure enough..."

Although due to the difference in hair color and temperament, people will never mistake Nanako and Mimiko, but if you look closely, the facial features of these two children are almost carved out of the same mold.

By the way, in the world of magic, twins often represent "unlucky".Among the various rumors about twins, there is even a cruel saying that twins are destined to curse each other, and only one can live in the end.

Because on the level of conjuration, twins will be identified as the same person, rather than two separate individuals.

For example, if there is a pair of twin conjurers, one of them is very talented, but the other is weak, then the weak one is destined to drag down the strong one, making the strong one unable to reach the real "strong" for the rest of his life , unless the weak one dies completely, allowing the other to become an independent individual.

——I heard that the most taboo of the Yusan family in the magic world is the birth of twins in the family, which is a sign of the family's decline.

Of course, Xia Youjie, who was born as an ordinary person, does not agree with this statement. Not only does he not agree, but he also thinks that the curse-like prophecy of "only one life is destined" is very unpleasant.

Xia Youjie said softly, "Don't worry about this, Nanako, we will get rid of the curse spirits wandering around the village, so you just need to rest assured."

The girl who was affectionately called "Nanako" had reddish ears, but she still insisted, "...can't you teach us?"

Xia Youjie gave full play to his empathy ability, and immediately understood Nanako's thoughts: "Are you worried... Will other curse spirits appear in the future?"

"Ah."

Nanako nodded.

Xia Youjie smiled: "It's really not easy, you are so responsible at such a young age. But Nanako, learning spells is not something that happens overnight."

"……Oh."

Nanako lowered her head, looking a little disappointed.

In the silence, Mimiko's stomach suddenly gurgled.Mimiko was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head deeply.

"Hungry?" Xia Youjie was taken aback, "Sorry, I didn't notice that it's lunch time..."

Al looked at the barren house, thought for a while, and asked directly, "What do you usually eat?"

Nanako pursed her lips, not wanting to answer this question.

The atmosphere became very awkward for a while, and at this moment, Mimiko said weakly: "We will use the money left by our mother to exchange food with people in the village."

Exchange money for something...

"So that's how it is." Xia Youjie replied nonchalantly, "What about today?"

Mimiko shook her head and said in a low voice: "The aunt of the village chief's family went to the hospital. I heard that she had a nightmare and had a fever. Everyone thinks it was us. Today... the atmosphere in the village has not been very good. Today should be Nobody wants to trade something for us to eat."

Terrible.

Xia Youjie wanted to sigh heavily, but he held back in front of the twins, because such a move might offend the children's self-esteem.

Al looked at Xia Youjie and reminded: "Jie-chan, Jie-chan—we have Ms. Heijing's love bento!"

"...That's right."

The blond-haired and blue-eyed boy urged, winking, "Hurry up and think of a way that won't hurt the children's self-esteem, and give them the bento."

Xia Youjie: "..."

Xia Youjie paused, and said sincerely, "Al, you... are really considerate sometimes."

"Of course. Come on, think of a way, Jay-chan."

"……Have no idea."

Al spoke quickly: "In short, I'll leave it to you! I'm not good at this at all!"

"..."

Xia Youjie said nonchalantly, "Really? Then I'll change things for you today, okay?"

Nanako was taken aback for a moment, and asked in doubt, "What do you have?"

"Anyway, I won't lie to you." Xia Youjie smiled and said: "We are still very trustworthy, come, pay with one hand and pay with the other."

Nanako pursed her lips, but still took out her pocket.She didn't care if she went hungry, but she couldn't let Mimiko go hungry with her, they hadn't had a decent meal for days... Yes, she was the older sister, she had to take care of Mimiko.

The girl took out the remaining dozen or so coins and crumpled banknotes from her pocket. Xia Youjie glanced at them and took the two coins with the smallest face value from her hand.

"Well, this is enough."

So Al took out two lunch boxes from his backpack and handed them to Nanako and Mimiko respectively.

The exquisite bento box reflects a beautiful luster in the sun, and it is an expensive thing at first glance. The twins were stunned, Nanako took one of them hesitantly, groped a bit, and successfully found the lid, she opened it and saw it again. I was overwhelmed by the giant panda bento carefully made by Kuroi Misato.

——It looks good, it looks delicious.

But after a while, she put the lid of the bento back on.

The little child swallowed back his saliva and said stubbornly, "I don't want your charity."

"Not charity."

Xia Youjie's face remained unchanged.

He calmly stated the "facts" in the most innocent tone.

“Bento in Tokyo is this price.”

"Yes." Al chimed in, "The lunch boxes in our city are so cheap. After [-]:[-] p.m., there will be a discount of [-]%... Well, it means that it will become cheaper. You have never been to Tokyo, so Don't you know?"

Nanako half-believingly said: "...Really?"

Al said calmly, "Well, really."

The little girl was visibly shaken, Xia Youjie said softly, "Children have to eat in time, Nanako, Mimiko is still growing, right?"

Nanako bit her lip and finally made up her mind: "Thank you."

She quickly put the bento in front of Mimiko, Mimiko looked at the bento and Nanako hesitantly, and then looked at Al and Xia Youjie.

Xia Youjie got up immediately, and pulled Al up, he said: "Then you eat first, Al and I are going out to find the curse spirit. By the way, don't go out to play tricks on the adults today, be careful of being caught by them arrive."

Nanako said righteously: "It's not teasing, it's revenge!"

... Well, although I don't know what happened, but revenge is revenge.

"In short, don't go out and provoke adults."

They left the crooked house after they got the twins' reassurance.

It wasn't until he walked out of the village and into the woods that Al asked, "Jie-chan, are you going to take them back to Tokyo?"

"...Well, did you see it?"

"I can feel it. I'm your hero, Master, I know you're so sad right now."

"Hahahaha, how could it be that exaggerated!"

Xia Youjie laughed loudly, seeing Al looking at him calmly, with an expression of "stop pretending to me", he sighed, and said truthfully:

"They are like this, so we can't just leave them alone. There is not much money left, and they can't last for a few days. It seems that no one in the village is willing to help them for free."

Al thought so too.

"Yes, if there happen to be people with evil intentions in the village, maybe they will sell them. There are often things like buying and selling children in rural villages."

"..."

Feeling the Master's emotions, Al said speechlessly: "Don't be nervous, Jie-chan, I'm just making a hypothesis."

Xia Youjie's expression changed.

"No, you're right, if you leave it alone, worse things will happen. You... see the graffiti on the door?"

Those words that are not suitable for children are simply taking the opportunity to vent the darkness and malice in their hearts. It is not so much that the people in the village hate "liars", it is better to say that they are using "hating liars" as an excuse. An excuse to bully the weak openly.

There are indeed disgusting villains in the village, and Nanako and Mimiko must not stay in the village any longer.

They can already understand why Nanako and Mimiko are able to summon the Pomon.

Xia Youjie took a deep breath, geared up and said, "In short, get rid of the curse spirit first, and then convince Nanako and Mimiko."

"Don't worry, Jiejiang, we don't have to be too pretty when compared with the villagers, they will definitely choose us."

Al patted his chest confidently, and reminded him: "However, do you want to leave a curse spirit at their door? What if the python curse spirit suddenly enters the village?"

"……you're right."

Xia Youjie dispatched the "Poulu Demon", and a cloud of black plasma floated to the roof of Nanako Mimiko's house, dormant quietly.

The two little girls don't have the ability to sense the curse spirit for the time being, they just ate Misato Kuroi's Love Bento unconsciously.

After that, Al and Xia Youjie began to track down the python curse spirit. The python curse spirit just appeared at the village head's house last night, so there must be some traces of spell power left. Following the trace of the spell power, they will soon be able to track it down. When it comes to the boa constrictor's curse spirit, beat it to pieces, roll it into balls, and eat it in one go!

"There are generally two situations where there are no curse spirits that pass through the human bedroom. One is that they are not capable enough, such as teeny heads. The other is that they have a certain IQ, so they will not blindly kill according to their instincts. It is the latter case. , the curse spirit will play with humans and raise humans in captivity."

"Do you mean that Mana Spirit raised the people in the village as his own granary?"

"It's very possible. But no matter what the need is, it didn't kill everyone in the village at once, which shows that the curse spirit does have a certain ability to think."

They followed the filthy traces of the mantra to a cliff, and the filth continued intermittently, extending all the way to the bottom of the cliff.

Al stroked his chin and said, "Do you actually live under a cliff... It must be very hard to go up and down. Who can install an elevator for it?"

Xia Youjie smiled.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks."

He lifted the back of Al's neck, jumped onto the back of the first model worker devil fish curse spirit, and flew down slowly.

Al looked left and right, "This kind of forest is quite scary to be honest."

I don't know how many years these trees have lived. The intertwined branches cover the sky and the sun, like giants standing on the ground, which makes people feel awe from the heart.

Xia Youjie also raised his head, "Indeed."

It is completely different from the artificial forest in the city.

They quickly found the cave belonging to the curse spirit. In the cave, a giant purple python raised its head vigilantly, and opened its densely packed eyes at the same time.

"Quasi-level one..."

Just as Al was about to rush up and beat it violently, Xia Youjie stopped him.

"Wait, Al, I have a hunch that I can now do something I couldn't do before."

Al blinked, "What?"

Xia Youjie raised one hand and stretched it in the direction of the python curse spirit. The python curse spirit straightened up vigilantly and confronted them for a while. Suddenly, the python curse spirit became very unstable.

Al was taken aback.

The body of the python curse spirit seemed to be broken up and turned into a black mantra—the most primitive form of the curse spirit. It was attracted towards Xia Youjie by an invisible force, and soon became It became a baseball-sized magic ball, lying quietly in Xia Youjie's hands.

Al was surprised: "Jie sauce, you..."

Xia Youjie said excitedly: "Al, look! I don't need to fight the curse spirits below the first level, I can tame them directly!"

After absorbing so many rare super-level curse spirits, his strength has taken a qualitative leap. Coupled with the fact that he has absorbed a lot of messy little curse spirits recently, Xia Youjie can finally do this.

"It's amazing, Jie-chan!" Al said sincerely: "If we go a step further, can we subdue super-level curse spirits without fighting?"

Xia Youjie was very moved by what he said.

He said seriously: "I hope there will be such a day."

He hugged the blond boy tightly, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Al, this is all thanks to you."

Al was uncommonly embarrassed.He scratched his face: "No, this is the result of Jiejiang's own hard work... But if you want to buy me Sansewu steamed buns, I will not refuse your kindness!"

Xia Youjie burst out laughing

"No problem at all."

……

When they returned to the village, they saw a car parked in the village, and it was parked in front of Nanako Mimiko's house.

"The fortune teller said that there are evildoers in our village that caused me to have a fever. It is these two evildoers who are playing tricks in the village!"

"They have been talking about it since they were young, and they also said that they can see ghosts. I think they must be attracting dirty things."

"The master said that the curse in the village can only be lifted by arresting the evildoer and letting the blood out!"

They grabbed the arms of the two little girls and dragged them away. Nanako and Mimiko struggled desperately, but they couldn't resist the adults. Nanako opened her mouth and bit the fat man's arm. The fat man screamed in pain and slapped her, Nanako She was beaten to the side, and the next second, the fat man grabbed her by the hair and dragged her to the yard.

Mimiko cried, "Let her go! You let her go!!!"

Amidst the chaos, a figure suddenly appeared, Al kicked the fat man to the courtyard wall, and the precarious wall collapsed, making the fat man howl.

Nanako was helped up by a pair of warm hands, and then, she was hugged into a warm and generous chest, and Mimiko cried and rushed forward.

"Nanako!"

The two sisters hugged each other tightly, like two trembling little beasts. Xia Youjie hugged the twin sisters in his arms and coaxed: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

In the yard, the villagers vented their dissatisfaction in a hurry.

"Who is this? Why are outsiders running into the village?"

"I said these two wild species are monsters, right? Children who can see monsters should be thrown into the water and drowned as soon as they are born, so as not to harm others every day."

"They're just as disgusting as their bitch mothers."

"What are you still doing in a daze, grab those two evildoers and let them bleed!"

Al blankly scanned a circle of villagers who were ready to move. The young man obviously had no special expression on his face, but the people he swept by froze in place, hesitating and not daring to go forward.

He stood firmly in front of Xia Youjie and the twins, and said lightly:

"Let's go, Jay-chan."

He turned his head, took a deep look at Xia Youjie's expression, and said in a low voice, "Xia Chan is beyond words."
