Curse Shirou

There is a big difference between magic and incantations. One of them is that ordinary people cannot see the power and effects of incantations, but magic is something they can see.

Matou Sakura's practice of shadow magic is far shorter than that of insect magic, but talent is talent, obviously the shortest time of contact, but the strongest ability.

Sakura's [Shadow] can act independently from the main body, and can be controlled within a short distance. After exceeding a certain range, it is out of control and cannot give feedback, but it can "automatically seek food" for the main body.

That is to say, if left alone at a distance, [Shadow] will start to eat creatures.

It devours people when there are people, and devours animals when there are no one.

Converting other types of external energy into magic power and forcibly capturing it is the biggest feature of magic with water attributes, and it is also the most criticized point.

Because it is very easy to go wrong.

So Matou Sakura will basically not let [Shadow] leave her, unless it is the order of her elder brother.

The height of more than a dozen floors is not too far away, so there shouldn't be any problems in the past, Matou Sakura made a prediction, and let the shadow go up the elevator shaft vertically, and soon found the blond-haired student of Jugao.

but……

The moment the elevator opened, a black figure who seemed to be standing with his head down suddenly appeared beside him, which almost made Amano Ginji faint from fright.

He jumped two feet high on the spot, squeezed out of the elevator that was not fully opened, and shouted loudly with tears streaming down his face:

"Is the curse spirit so scary? Isn't it too scary?! Help! Man! I might die if I don't see you again, help!"

Hearing the cry for help, Mei Tang, who had already reached the eleventh floor, wiped the sweat off his face and continued to run up.

He never doubted the strength of his partner, but this electric eel is the kind of idiot who would really scare him into unconsciousness!

No matter how many times he can't leave the other party alone, is he self-inflicted?

The object to be watched fled on its own, Matou Ying hesitated for a moment, and decided to let the shadow follow the other party far away, so as not to be too late to help the other party when encountering the curse spirit.

"Following up? Yah!—"

Looking back and seeing the black figure acting in a strange way, approaching him frame by frame, Ginji's mind flashed all the high-energy horror movies he had seen before, and immediately ran away with his head in his arms, and fled into the fire escape.

But it's the other side.

"Idiot, I'm over here!"

Climbing to the fourteenth floor in one breath, before Meitangman had time to catch his breath, he saw a silent black figure at the height of a man, disappearing at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Running is what Yinci is best at. He is running desperately ahead with his black shadow hanging, and he will definitely not be able to catch up with him, so why not take a break now.

Mei Tangman slid down with his back against the wall, squatting on the ground panting for breath, at this moment, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared from the stairs where Ginji disappeared, and walked towards him.

"What, that uncle also said that the venue has been cleared, you can take the exam without worry, isn't there someone still here?"

Not even one.

Mei Tangman stood up slowly, people who could walk around at night in this kind of residential building where a homicide just happened, except the idiot who deserved to be the victim, could only create the horror itself.

However, according to the lecture, the curse spirit should not have a fully human form, so is it the murderer?

Or is the murderer and the curser merged into one?

"It's really impossible to stop you and that blond boy."

Knowing that the other party was very wary, Matou Shinji pointed out that what happened just now was done by himself, which would save a lot of trouble of probing, as long as he explained the reason, the other party really asked the same question:

"You pressed the elevator on the third floor just now? Why did you do that?"

Meitangman curled his fingers and realized another thing at the same time.

"The people in this building should have gone to emergency evacuation, what are you doing here?"

Matou Shinji snorted, raised a finger and said:

"One, my sister and I are here because we live here, and it is our freedom to go or not to seek refuge."

"Second, the reason you are not allowed to come up is because there are really scary things upstairs. I have seen too many curious middle-aged patients like you. For the sake of your two lives, turn around and go home now." It's not too late."

These remarks really confused Mei Tang, these two are actually residents here?real or fake?

They look like brothers and sisters in appearance, and they are about the same age as themselves. If they are curse masters or murderers, they should not be so young.

"Ginji and I didn't sneak in out of curiosity. It's because there are curse spirits here, which is the kind of horrible thing you just said, so we have to solve it. You can understand it as professionals engaged in the work of removing spirits. "

Matou Shinji recalled the behavior of that blond kid, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly:

"You say you are 'professionals', do professionals also fear ghosts?"

Mei Tangman's face darkened, knowing that his explanation would be greatly discounted because of Ginji's bluff, and there was still something wrong there, so he didn't plan to get entangled in the matter of these two people, and decided to catch up first before talking.

"My companion got separated from me, and you'd better leave here as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to protect you during the battle."

"Cut, who wants you to protect? I think you should take care of yourself first."

After finishing speaking, Matou Shinji and Sakura followed him slowly, as if they couldn't stop him and wanted to watch to the end.

Meitangman can only follow them, that's fine, in case he encounters a curse spirit later, he can somewhat protect these two ordinary people.

Amano Ginji ran up the stairs. After climbing the stairs for 10 minutes, he finally realized a serious problem, that is——

The stairs under his feet seemed endless.

Unfortunately, if it wasn't a mechanism, there must be some enchantment or illusion here, and I have already fallen into it without knowing it.

If you report to Shiina-sensei by communication, you should be saved soon, right?

But in that case, it will cause Ah Man to fail again, which is really a headache...

The black shadow behind him disappeared at some point, maybe it was the other party's purpose to force himself into this infinite staircase.

When this happens in horror movies, the moment the protagonist thinks he can escape, in the real world he will step on the ground and fall from a high-rise window to his death.

So it's better for him not to move, not to go up or down, anyway, Ah Man will definitely find him, after all, the other party is an expert in illusion.

"……Disappeared."

In the quiet corridor, there were only the footsteps of three people, so even the words that sounded like mosquitoes were clearly captured by the other two.

Matou Shinji immediately reacted and asked her:

"What did you say disappeared?"

The girl looked up at the top of her head, her eyes pierced through all the obstacles, she looked straight at where the shadow was now, and said:

"That person disappeared from the stairs."
