Curse of the Eye of the Dead

"...Tsk, that sounds really weird."

Toranojiro touched his nose, pursed his lips, and muttered in a disgusted tone: "Although I used to shout like that, why am I so uncomfortable now?"

"Probably because you are already an old man." Uosheng replied with a smile: "I'm quite used to it."

"You just find it funny? Being called brother by an old man or something... Hey, stop laughing." Toranojiro blinked slowly, slowly regaining the feeling of getting along with friends when he was young, and his tone gradually became natural: " You are only one year older than me... No, it's just a few months, really, I was a little taller than you when I was young, so I must call you brother."

"It's still a few months old, and, Torajiro, you've shrunk by at least ten centimeters, and you're no longer as tall as me."

Toranojiro remained expressionless, "If you want to do the math...then I'll have to call you Kid Uo, after all I'm obviously older than you now."

"It doesn't matter to me." Uzumaki smiled.

"Then you will be called Maosheng boy." The gray-haired old man cheered up and said, then coughed a few times, and became serious: "Come back to business, you called me this time, do you want to ask me for something?" Is it? But it’s okay, no matter what it is, I will do my best to help.”

"If you don't even ask, you can guarantee it. Are you not afraid that I will raise something excessive?"

"Even if you let me die now, it doesn't matter." Toranojiro grinned, "What am I afraid of?"

Uso paused.

After a while, he sighed: "I can't deny that I did have a few unkind requests, but I don't want to force you."

The long bony tail of the black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit swayed, thought for a while, and finally said bluntly: "We grew up together, and I don't come to beat around the bush to try that thing, I just want to ask, Are you now...are you still willing to work harder for the ideals you had when you were young?"

Ideal when you were young?

Toranojiro slowly opened his eyes wide,

After hearing the word "ideal" which is quite hypocritical for his age and status, his face was dull.

—like a frightened old owl.

"I know that you have changed a lot in the past few decades, and you have done a lot of things that you would not do before... But, have you really been assimilated? Or are you still unwilling in the bottom of your heart?" Uo Observing the expressions of former friends and companions, he asked each sentence.

Toranojiro's heart was pounding.

He opened his mouth and made a dry sound: "I..."

Then the voice froze, and there was no words for a long time.

When he was young, Tsurumi Toranojiro was as his name suggests, with a fierce personality.

A head like a lion's mane is flamboyant. Red hair is always combed back casually, and he dares to go to heaven and earth with a knife in his hand. As long as he doesn't like it, he dares to speak provocatively, so he will meet the parents with him The big Uosheng can control him.

However, Uno just asked him to restrain himself a little, and did not interfere with his thoughts.

Because they're all pretty much the same.

——I don’t like this magic world, I don’t like the tradition that should have been eliminated long ago, so I want to change all this.

With short red hair and dressed like a rogue, Torajiro is flamboyant and uninhibited, and his heart is hotter than anyone else's.

Wearing a black curly high ponytail, fair skin and handsome, he looks gentle and calm like a son of aristocratic family, but in fact he is a very bold and assertive human being.

They once walked side by side, pledging to be leaders of change.

However, Toranojiro's anchor is on Uo.

Uo's anchor was again on Sachiko.

Abnormal can even be called a tragic ending, causing everything that was once to perish.

"I don't know." Toranojiro finally spoke after a long silence.

He looked at his dead tree-like hand with a blank expression, and muttered to himself: "I don't know, I really don't know, I am 78 years old, I have done so many things for so many years, and I have long since lost my ideals." With this kind of interest, I just want to protect your life now, brother Uno, and to pay for the sins of the past... You don’t need to say that it’s none of my business, how could it not be my business? I didn’t take good care of Mrs. Sachiko , and you didn’t discover your father’s plan in time, and even after you became like this, you agreed to your father’s request and allowed the Tsurumi family to tamper with history but turned a blind eye... The bystanders should be guilty of the same crime.”

Uno didn't make a sound, just listened quietly.

The white-haired old man suddenly raised his head, thought for a long time, and pulled out an ugly expression. He continued to talk to himself: "But, one thing is for sure, I hate myself. For decades, I have looked at myself in the mirror. Myself, I feel unspeakably disgusted... How did I become like this? So I can hardly look in the mirror without looking in the mirror."

How can a person become the most hated look before?

The once bright eyes seemed to have been poured with a puddle of mud, making them unsightly.

"So, brother Uno, if you ask me if I can continue my youthful ideals, I can only give a negative answer. I have indeed been assimilated, the kind that I can never return to, I don't have the fighting spirit of my youth gone."

Toranojiro murmured, not even reacting to the re-used [Usho-brother], which is full of discordant words.

However, in the next second, the old man suddenly showed a weird smile—it has to be said that this kind of smile on the wrinkled old man looked quite scary.

Toranojiro: "...However, if you let me drag my annoying colleagues to hell, that's something worth cheering up."

Uzumaki looked at him.

Toranojiro stared at him.

Soon, Uso also raised his eyebrows.

They really grew up together.

Although their personalities are very different, they are surprisingly similar in essence.

If you become what you hate and commit irreparable things, then death becomes a kind of relief.

So, if self-destruction can bring a new kind of fire... then for them, it's not an option at all.

.

Hui, Chacha and Tsumiki were allowed to eavesdrop.

Halfway through hearing it, Megumi and Tsumiki realized something was wrong.

"Tsurumi...?"

Hui's expression was tense, like a cat that just realized that the territory was invaded by the enemy.

He hates the Tsurumi family.

However, his father invited an old man from the Tsurumi family as a guest.

Hui couldn't believe it for a while, as if he was facing an enemy, for fear that his father would be cheated.

However, as I listened, I realized that this development didn't seem quite right.

...Their father of the curse spirit and the old man seemed to be a companionship of mutual trust.

Dad has just seen us.

Why would we acquiesce in eavesdropping?

Kei's head was empty after being hit by too much information, and she couldn't help but blinked blankly for a moment, resulting in such confusion.

Then, not long after the conversation ended, they were called over by Uo.

The three boys and girls sat down next to Uo hesitantly.

"Megumi Kitazawa is 13 years old this year. If he doesn't change his mind, he will join the Tokyo High School of Curse Arts in the next year." Uo put his hand on Hui's shoulder and said to Toranojiro, "His technique is "Ten Seed Shadow Spell". "

Toranojiro, who was once again thrown in the face by a big news without a buffer: ...? ?

Uno: "Once he joins the high school, many people will follow him. I don't worry, so I hope you can take care of him... Hui, if there is anything, you can also contact your grandpa Torajiro, he is now One of the top executives in the magic world, capable and trustworthy, I will give you his mobile phone number later."

Hui: ...Wow.

Toranojiro: "Wait a minute—you said 'ten shadow spells'? ?The ancestral technique of the Chanyuan family? ? "

Uno nodded.

"Why does the Zen Academy's "Ten Kinds of Shadow Spells"... No, it's meaningless to ask this, so, Brother Usheng, have you figured it out yet?After asking me that kind of question, the next second is to plug me a seedling? "

Realizing that today's trip was full of "surprises", Toranojiro wiped his face and had to accept this fact, "I will enroll in the next year, then I still have about two years to cultivate my own influence. It's easy to deal with, I have to be fully prepared..."

Uno: "And—"

Toranojiro looked up suddenly.

and also! ?

Uosheng said slowly: "Next year there is another child who will enter a college. His situation is even more special, and it will stimulate your senior management even more."

Toranojiro raised his hand to indicate a pause. He drank a sip of tea to stabilize his emotions, and then signaled the other party to speak.

Uosheng continued: "That child is called Otoko Yuta, and he is carrying a special-grade curse spirit on his body, which is very strong. The key is that the super-grade curse spirit named "Lixiang" is the same as me. It came from the transformation of human beings after death. Yi Gu wants to undo the curse of "Li Xiang" and let her be freed, so he plans to find a way in the magic world. He is still learning how to control "Li Xiang". mastered. "

Jin Meiji, the only one in the family who didn't know that their curse father was once a "human", slowly opened her eyes wide. She looked back and forth, and then her eyes fixed on Hui Yu Chacha who was not surprised.

Tsumiki: ...

And Toranojiro froze all over this time.

Uno waited patiently for the other party to come back to his senses.

Toranojiro struggled to extract the key words: "The special magic spirit named "Rika"... used to be a person?The boy named Yi Gu who is carrying "Lixiang" on his back wants to find a way to break the curse? "

Uno nodded.

Toranojiro was silent for a long time.

Then take a deep breath.

"Although I really want to say that you are causing me a lot of trouble... But if this is the case, don't say it's your request, even if it's for the solution of the curse, I have to help."

The old man looked dignified, and then touched his chin in distress, "I will find a way to take care of it, but brother Uno, please declare in advance that I can only do my best. I am not the only one in the upper echelon, and I have not yet reached the position of covering the sky with one hand. Hui's matter is relatively easy to deal with, but the situation of the boy Yi Gu is much more difficult. Since you can judge the special magic spirit on him as very strong, it must be an extremely dangerous type... You must ensure that his The super-level magic spirit can be completely controlled, and on this basis, I can guarantee that the child Yi Gu is fine, otherwise, if he loses control once... he will undoubtedly be sentenced to death by the high-level, and I may not be able to deal with it to that extent."

"Well, I know, it's enough to have you." Uosheng heaved a sigh of relief, and seemed to feel a lot more at ease, "With you at the top, plus "him", Hui and Yigu are in the spell There will be no major problems in the world, and "his" actions can also have a response..."

Toranojiro: "Wait a minute, who is 'he'?How many people do you have to introduce to me!And the meaning of your words... that is also a person from the magic world! ?Uno! !You don't want to approach guys from the magic world casually, it's too dangerous! "

Toranojiro stood up abruptly.

Uno looked at the time calmly, and responded casually: "Danger... It's okay, he's not bad at heart, but he's a bit willful, wait a moment, I made an appointment with him, it should be about the same now It's here, I invited you here today, just to confirm your thoughts and introduce the two of you to each other..."

"Who is that?"

Toranojiro asked again, but he still didn't get an answer, so he could only babble worryingly and helplessly:

"You, don't always like to play tricks on me. Is it time to play tricks? Do you know how famous you are as a "Guardian God"?And casually invited people related to the magic world to come to the house... Aren't you worried about being betrayed?Even if he doesn't betray you, can you guarantee that he won't be found when he comes to look for you?Now Yokohama has a lot of eyeliners who are auxiliary supervisors!Who is that man?Is it reliable?Do you know how to hide your whereabouts?I managed to get rid of that troublesome white-haired boy. It would be over if someone you mentioned draws his attention again. That white-haired boy is very strong, and the technique is troublesome. The identity was exposed under the nose!It's useless to cover up, I'll be caught too, and then you won't be able to do anything you want me to do for you..."

White-haired boy?

Chacha looked at Uosheng hesitantly.

Uosheng didn't speak, but with a slight smile, he noticed Chacha's gaze, and quietly made a silent gesture.

Chacha gradually relaxed: ...Wow, the relationship between Dad and Second Grandpa seems to be really good.

I've never seen dad joke with anyone.

She turned her gaze back to Toranojiro, hesitating in her heart.

Chacha's bottom line will always be her family.

Especially her father.

Realizing Toranojiro's acquiescence to the Tsurumi family's behavior of "distorting history" and the fact that the kindness to him back then was not pure, Chacha inevitably had a bad impression and bad guesses.

But after listening to this conversation, Chacha, who is good at observing the true emotions of others, found that the old man was not what she imagined.

Toranojiro's hypocrisy is all about others.

Only there will never be any lies to the Uso family.

Whether it is the trust and admiration for Uno, or the love and kindness for their children, Aiwu and Wuban, these are the rare sincerity of an old man who has been in the political arena for a long time.He dug out all his sincerity that had been buried for decades and gave it to the Kitazawa family.

Toranojiro is...one of his own.

Chacha felt ashamed of her previous doubts, but she still had the biggest question unsolved.

She hesitated, and finally plucked up the courage to speak, "Grandpa, the second eldest of the clan."

"What's the matter, Chacha?" The old man who was still worried suddenly showed an extremely kind smile.

Chacha: "I have something very important to ask you."

Hui immediately cheered up and looked over.

"Yes." Toranojiro nodded and replied like a silly grandpa who dotes on his granddaughter... although the seniority seems to be wrong.

Chacha glanced at Uosheng, and found that the other party had no intention of stopping him, so she immediately seized the opportunity to ask: "I want to know about the Tsurumi family—"

Whoosh!

Outside the shoji door that was opened for ventilation, right above the courtyard, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, interrupting Chacha's words.

Gojo Satoru teleported in a straight line at high altitude and arrived at Kitazawa's house with precision.

He jumped down familiarly, and landed in the yard steadily and deliberately maintaining a handsome posture, just facing the shoji door of the living room.

"Good morning everyone, I'm not late, am I? Oops, I wanted to come over earlier, but that annoying old orange has to find something for me—"

He directly accepted the task of investigating "Guardian God" that was sent to his door, and Gojo Satoru, who also received the invitation to meet with Uo, had already prepared his lines of boasting and begging, but the first sentence teleported over was not finished. , the whole person was pressed the pause button the moment he noticed the room.

His greeting hand was still in the air, the smile on his face hadn't faded, and his long legs had just taken a step.

——It stopped so dramatically.

In the living room, Toranojiro looked at Chacha with a very kind smile on his face (it was very strange in Gojo Satoru's eyes), the Kitazawa family just sat together happily with an old orange from the magic world (commented by Gojo Satoru), The table is even covered with fruits and snacks.

Mr. Uno even added a cup of tea to the old orange very skillfully! !

Gojo Satoru's head crashes: Is the way I landed wrong?

Toranojiro, who turned his head to look over, also shut down, and the extremely kind smile on his face froze, as if the pause button had also been pressed.

——Only the time of these two people stopped.

Chacha, who was interrupted to ask a question, was not very happy, but looked around at the two frozen people, blinked, thinking that he could continue to ask later, and watching a play is more important now, so he picked up the phone on the desktop. A Xi Jiufu, looking forward to Uo's side, his eyes kept rolling between the two.

"..."

"..."

Uno made himself a cup of tea.

"..."

"..."

Hui Qiao took two pieces of snacks and gave one to Jin Meiji.

"..."

"..."

In the next second, under the curious gazes of the three children, shocking and unbelievable shouts from both sides rang out at the same time.

Toranojiro: "Gojo Satoru!!! Why are you here!!"

Gojo Satoru: "Why are you here, you old orange!!"

Toranojiro's kind smile was suddenly replaced by his usual coffin face. His face was long, and the handle of the crutch he was holding was pulled out by him, and the sharp knife gleamed with a cold light.

"Where did you find your grandson! I told you that you are fine and don't follow me!"

"Who is following you! And who are you calling grandson? Smelly old man, believe it or not, I will send you to the ground right now!" Gojo Satoru jumped like his tail was stepped on, he pulled off his sunglasses, and stared at the opposite person with six eyes. The stinky old man, his hands are already in the posture of performing the spell, his face is so smelly, "Aren't you in charge of investigating the Central District!"

"Where do I want you to take care of you brat!?"

The two firecrackers were ignited in an instant, and the old man roared back angrily, and stood in front of Uosheng and San Xiaozhi anxiously and nervously.

Wujo Wuma is numb.

Wujo Satoru went crazy.

Why do I look like an intruder instead! ?That's my place—! !

The script is wrong!

.

After a wild meal, the two teenagers finally settled down, sitting on the sofa as if facing a big enemy, staring at each other to understand the situation.

"That's why." Hui concluded slowly, biting his snacks, "The higher-ups in the magic world tried every means, and finally sent the only two [-]-year-olds to investigate Dad?"

Chacha covered her mouth expressionlessly, "Pfft—"

Wutiaowu, No. [-] Wuzi and No. [-] Wutiaowu was listless, feeling cheated.

Because of the Tsurumi family's behavior of distorting history, he has always had a bad look at the members of the Tsurumi family, especially the high-level members of the Tsurumi family-according to the logic of normal people, the high-level people must know the truth of history, and the other party is the one who distorted history. The mastermind, who would have expected that one of the senior members of the Tsurumi family would be a [-]-year-old boy!

And he has such a good relationship with the victim!

That's high-level! !

Mr. Uno hasn't told me yet!

Erwuzi No. [-] feels very sad, not the kind that can't be coaxed well with ten dozen dim sum.

Uo: ...Actually, I didn't expect Toranojiro to become a high-level executive, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a fuss.

Gojo Satoru whimpered and complained that he was fighting wits with the air during this time, and then reached out to touch the high-end dim sum on the table very naturally.

No. [-] Wuzi No. [-] Torajiro slashed at the opponent's hand viciously—the sword buzzed and was blocked by the opponent's lower limit.

"That's my high-end dim sum for Brother Uno!" Toranojiro grimaced, "Stop me, you brat, big or small!"

"An old man who is so old actually calls Mr. Uno his brother, hey—" Gojo Satoru made an exaggerated sound of disgust, and then decisively followed the high-end snacks brought by Toranojiro.

Veins stretched out on the old man's forehead, "This is the seniority, it's not like someone in their 20s who still competes with kids for snacks, it's shameless."

Gojo Satoru raised his smiling face, showing his white teeth, and then swallowed the snack in one gulp in front of the old man.Fully perform what it means to be shameless.

Toranojiro: It exploded.

Toranojiro slashed towards the opposite side like an afterimage of a set of sword skills.

He couldn't break the defense, so he blew his beard and stared in anger.

Wujo Wu was triumphant.

Toranojiro sneered, stopped attacking, and started fighting for snacks.

There is no lower limit for your defense, as long as you snatch the snacks in advance, you will prevent loneliness.

Rolling up his sleeves to reveal his muscles, Torajiro, who is most proud of his speed rather than his technique, grinned, intending to let the other party see what a combat old man is.

The bosoms of the three children who got a lot of money were immediately filled with food.

This time it was Gojo Satoru's turn, who couldn't do anything real, and he was able to rob, but he didn't rob as many as the opponent.Although Toranojiro is not as strong as the young man opposite him, he is very skilled, especially good at playing dirty tricks in such a small place-an old guy who has lived to this age will always have one or two specialties.

This is no longer a question of whether to eat or not, but a question of dignity.

Wujo Wu silently rolled up his sleeves: ...Go out and fight if you have the ability!

Toranojiro: No!
