Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Under the condition of the same horsepower, the acceleration and linear speed of the locomotive are faster than that of the car, and the relatively small size is also extremely convenient for driving in urban areas.

The heavy locomotive that Chacha forcibly confiscated was very fast and stable.

Drag racing is illegal.But in case of an emergency, and under the premise that she has sufficient ability to drive a locomotive and has sufficient measures (bone family members) to ensure the safety of herself and others, Chacha can't take care of anything else.

The roar of the engine is deafening.

Excessive wind speed is very painful on the skin, especially for Chacha who is wearing shorts and short sleeves. Fortunately, she is born with a stronger physique than ordinary people, so she can bear it, but the only thing she can't bear is that the locomotive is running at high speed. The wind that blows to the eyes while driving.

At this speed, no matter how well Chacha controls it, she still has to rely on her own dynamic vision.

So on the way to Chacha, I took another helmet that was hanging on the motorcycle and was temporarily unattended.

Feel sorry--! !

Remembering the location where the owner's motorcycle was temporarily parked, Chacha apologized loudly from the bottom of her heart, and then put the helmet on with one hand without hesitation.

Then he focused on accelerating without any scruples, and drove from the urban area to the boulevard in the blink of an eye.

Under the guidance of the bone family members, she walked away from the urban area at the speed of afterimages, and embarked on the sparsely populated suburban road.

The Ishizawa family walked for nearly two hours at a normal speed, and it took less than an hour for Chacha, who was moving at full speed amidst the roar of the engine, to be triggered from a farther place.

When driving to the mountain road of a certain mountain under the name of Ishizawa's family, basically there is no need for bone family members to guide the way.

- There are very obvious ruts on the dirt road.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, Chacha arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The engine of the locomotive was too noisy, and there were obviously no street lights in the mountains, and the weather today was not very good. The dark night sky seemed to be brewing with rain, completely covering up the starlight and moonlight... When the vision was seriously impaired Under the premise of being affected, Chacha could only slow down, fumbled for the switch of the locomotive's headlights, and moved forward by the headlights.

When she saw the only building with lights on in the distance in the forest, Chacha turned off the lights, parked the car, and then sneaked towards it silently, led by the bone family members who turned into bone wolves.

There is a communication signal here.

She sent the location to Uo.

Then, he squatted anxiously in the bushes, staring at the building.

There is nothing wrong with it from the outside.

There is no trace of curse spirit... If there is, it is probably just one or two small curses of level [-], the number is too small and too weak, and the low presence level is similar to the curse passing by on the street.

Not a curse event.

Chacha and Uo, who sensed the surrounding situation through the five senses of the bone family, came to the same judgment.

If that's the case...it's much easier.

"Chacha, hide and let the bone family go in."

Uo, who had already arrived in Tokyo and was rushing to Chacha's location at full speed, sent a text message.

Chacha didn't respond immediately, but fixedly looked in the direction of the villa, and then turned to look at the bones.

"Father, Miri and Yusuke are separated, right?"

The bone family member tilted his head, then nodded.

"Then, for the sake of efficiency, we also split up."

Just as Chacha was about to take a detour and sneak out into the villa, the frightened Bone Wolf gently bit the corner of her clothes.

"Wait a minute, Chacha, you don't have a weapon!!!"

This text message uses a full three exclamation points to express emotions.

"It's okay, it's not a curse event after all, and it doesn't matter if you don't have a spell."

Chacha gently pulled out the corner of her clothes, "Dad, you also know that I will not do blind conflicts. I have confidence in my own ability, whether it is what my father taught me or what I learned in the detective agency." , are enough for me to protect myself and deal with most people... Besides, my stealth is the best I have learned? I won’t be easily discovered, and I will make full use of this advantage.”

As she spoke, she took a deep breath and looked serious, "The most important thing is that Miri and Yusuke are only six years old, and if Dad can hear their voices, it means...they can't wait, if I don't do anything, As a result, they could not get timely rescue and accidents... I will not feel at ease in my life."

"So, please let me go. I decided to act out of my own considerations. Making use of my strengths and avoiding weaknesses is my strong point. I promise not to take it lightly."

"What's more, Dad's body will come over soon, right?"

Chacha raised a bright and confident smile.

Her warm brown expression didn't flinch.

Uo, who was on the road without stopping, gritted his teeth, and looked down at the phone that still hadn't received Gojo Satoru's recovery.

In the end, he sighed and manipulated the bone family around Chacha to separate it into two parts——the separated part slowly turned into a white bone knife in front of Chacha.

Yes.

Bone family members living outside can divide themselves into two halves.

But the part separated from the bone family is different from the part separated from the body of Uogi.At least the former will not become a second bone relative, but a pure "dead thing".

——A "dead thing" that is completely out of Uo's control, unable to be manipulated by the body's perception, and even the magic power to maintain its existence is at most half of that of the original bone family, and cannot continue to replenish energy from the body.

Therefore, the self-separation of the bone family can only produce items such as bone weapons that do not require the control of the main body.

After the magic power of this "dead thing" is exhausted, it will disappear directly.Moreover, the upper limit of the strength of the bone family member that was separated will inevitably drop by a level.

Uno rarely does this.

But now it is clearly necessary.

"be careful."

"I know."

Chacha took the knife and nodded solemnly.

.

The bone family members sneaked into the villa first.

Chacha should be more careful, after all, this kind of big villa will basically be monitored.

I don't know if anyone has been looking at the camera.

Chacha tries to avoid it as much as possible, and if she can't avoid it, she will take the stones prepared in advance and destroy her lens with extraordinary strength.

Speaking of which, Chacha still doesn't know what happened.

——Why did the little dragon and phoenix twins who should have been adopted and taken care of suddenly appear here, and then fell into a life-and-death crisis?

Uno actually doesn't know either.

The content of the children's prayers was too intermittent and without beginning or end. Obviously, excessive fear and despair affected their rationality and orderliness.

Worst of all, he could only hear Miri's prayers a few minutes ago.

They can't figure it out.

Even now, the Kitazawa family has not suspected the Ishizawa couple for the first time, but worried that something happened to the couple beforehand.

Mrs. Ishizawa performed really well.

And the little twins were in perfect condition when they visited last time, they were well taken care of at first sight, and they were also very dependent on Mrs. Ishizawa.

"They love each other."

After keenly smelling the strong smell of blood, Chacha bit the knife, and immediately leaned on the wall to stabilize her body at a high dead corner, and then saw Mrs. Ishizawa with a "gentle and happy" face coming out of a door humming a song Before... She really thought so.

Gentle, happy Mrs. Ishizawa.

——Carrying a small bag of blood and a small knife, his body was also stained with a little blood.

Chacha stared blankly at Mrs. Ishizawa's expression.

Countless information rushed into her head quickly, and the final "conclusion" made her eyes widen slowly, and the chill spread from her spine to her limbs almost instantly.

She belatedly realized that she had made a big, unforgivable, worst mistake.

It is not only gentle and kind adoptive parents and adopted sons and daughters who live an active life who will love each other.

There are also butchers who are good at disguising and ulterior motives, and lambs who are deceived.

.

Mrs. Ishizawa was caught off guard by the top-down attack and fell to the ground.

Chacha's pupils were constricted, and she pressed Mrs. Ishizawa's arm expressionlessly, and her strong legs pressed down on the human joints.

"Whose blood is that?"

Chacha asked softly.

Mrs. Ishizawa was stunned, then turned her face slightly, and saw the girl's expression.

"Oh, it's you."

"Whose blood is that?"

"It's impolite to come uninvited. I haven't prepared anything to entertain you yet."

"Whose blood is that?"

Mrs. Ishizawa's smile was as gentle as ever, and she didn't seem to feel uneasy at all, "However, I hope you don't come here to disturb our family's happiness for the time being..."

Chacha snapped off the opponent's limbs neatly.

It must be very painful, but Mrs. Ishizawa just screamed, and then let out an unusually joyful laugh.

……madman.

Chacha, who had broken the other party's limbs and destroyed the other party's mobile phone and other communication tools, stood up and pushed away the room Mrs. Ishizawa came out of earlier with a beating heart.

There is a bulkhead leading to the basement.

Walk over, open the partition, and look down.

Below, under the dim light, is a little girl curled up.

There were cuts and bruises all over his body, and there was a very deep wound on his wrist that was simply bandaged to stop the bleeding.

...like a bled lamb about to be cooked and sacrificed.

Chacha keenly noticed that there were suspicious depressions and unevenness in the bandage-wrapped part of the opponent's leg.

It's almost hard to breathe.

The throat could hardly contain the roar.

The teeth made an uncontrollable clicking sound.

Unbelievable and filled with pain and anger.

How could that woman, how could, how could—! !

It was not easy for Miri to pluck up the courage to step out of the shadow of the war, and finally to cheer up and choose to embrace her new life, choose to give trust and love to her new family.

Chacha bit her lower lip, and the smell of blood barely made her hold back the tears from her eyes.

"Leave her."

Mrs. Ishizawa crawled over slowly at some point, even though her limbs were broken and the pain left her in a cold sweat, the woman still crawled over little by little, staring at Chacha at the door with a terrifying expression.

"That's my daughter? She is feeling the best happiness, don't disturb her, outsider!"

happiness?

Chacha's nerves were broken.

"You madman, do you call this happiness—!!"

Howling like an enraged wolf, the girl with the brown high ponytail stabbed fiercely into the woman's shoulder.

"Of course I'm happy."

The woman who was stabbed by an invisible thing, but showed yearning in throbbing pain, said: "Pain, hatred, mourning... This is the proof of happiness. You will be excited because of these, and you will react because of them. You will feel the supreme joy because of these, the body and emotions will not lie, isn't this happiness and love?"

Chacha, who was staring at the other person's expression all the time, was shocked to find that even at this time, this woman's expression was sincere and gentle.

She really thinks so.

She really...has completely different values ​​from normal people.

Incomprehensible.

Just trying to understand made the girl breathless.

"Stop imposing your twist on other people—!!"

"No! Master Tianci Biming does not allow us to go against our original intentions!"

Mrs. Ishizawa said enthusiastically: "Be true to your original wish. It is normal for me to be different, and my cognition is also normal. All my behaviors are allowed. I will overcome all difficulties and do what I want to do." Things! Covering up and patience are things that will not be tolerated by Lord Tianci!"

"I have also done the love and devotion required by Master Tianci Biming. How much I love those two children, I can give everything. This is the feast that my husband and I take seriously in this life, Miri and Yusuke We will experience the program that we spent a month preparing, and after feeling the "best happiness" that can be experienced in the world, you can go to the side of Master Tianci to embrace the most eternal happiness. You are, why— —”

To shut up.

I don't want to hear such twisted nonsense.

Don't talk nonsense anymore...Miri is still here!

Thinking of this, Chacha's pupils constricted and her expression tensed, she pressed the opponent's head, and almost smashed it to the ground with all her strength.

boom! !

The wooden floor sank and cracks spread.

And blood also flowed from the woman's head.

The woman with a smile on her belt lost consciousness and fell into a coma without moving, and her endless twisting and fallacies stopped abruptly.

And from the beginning to the end, the girl in the basement behind Chacha didn't make any sound.

Chacha jumped down.

The curled up girl is still alive, but she has almost fallen into a self-enclosed state. Apart from constantly mumbling "brother" and "Master Guardian God", there is no response from the outside world.

Chacha stepped forward and knelt down slowly, "Hi, Miri."

Miri: "..."

Chacha tried her best to raise an ugly smile, and slowly said the key words: "Miri, look at me, Lord "Guardian God" is here to save you, come to save you and Yusuke, look, I am "Guardian God" "My lord's emissary?remember me? "

Miri paused, then slowly raised her head.

Looking at Chacha's face with eyes that had almost lost their luster, it seemed that it took a long time to realize the identity of the other party.

Only then did she come alive as if someone had twisted a clockwork.

Miri broke out with her last strength and threw herself into the girl's arms, the wound oozing red, she opened her mouth, trying to say something continuously.

"Tea... sister, brother... I..."

"elder brother……"

Chacha patted the other person's head.

"I know, don't worry, Yusuke will be rescued too." The girl with the brown high ponytail promised, "Miri is very strong, Lord "Guardian God" has always heard your call, you worked hard So... hold on a little longer, okay?Don't sleep, keep going, let's go out first, soon, soon Yusuke will come out, there will be no more pain, no more danger..."

Miri's bloody wound torn by another movement was so painful that she couldn't speak. Even the tears that fell could irritate the fine wounds along the way. She didn't say a word, just grabbed Chacha's clothes and nodded slowly .

.

The sky is falling apart, today is the same for this pair of dragon and phoenix twins.

It is obvious that he intends to come on vacation happily.

In the end, what ushered in was the malice of the adoptive parents who showed their true colors in a closed environment.

They said that they should give themselves and their brothers the best happiness.

—Happiness called Knife and Whip, Fire and Instruments, Idol and Altar.

"Anyone want the first experience? Don't worry, everyone will take turns, one today, one tomorrow..."

As an older brother, Yusuke pulled his younger sister behind him.

So he became the first.

"autumn……"

"Then it's a promise, Miri, we're going to see the red-leaved forest together in autumn."

Miri thought of her only remaining blood relative.

It's agreed, it's agreed...

want to fulfill the agreement.

So, even though the pain was so painful that she was about to die, Miri kept trying to maintain consciousness and kept calling out.

Although I am no longer in Yokohama, my brother also said that I can't rely on God for everything, but, but——

Just one more time.

Just one last time.

"Save us."

.

Just as Chacha was about to hug Miri, she suddenly sensed something, raised the bone knife in her hand as if facing a formidable enemy, and glanced around and above.

Why, the sudden appearance of... a cursed breath?

Soon after, she heard the sound of flesh and blood being chewed.

The next moment, it was a woman's painful neighing.

"Ah... ah ah ah—"

Chacha asked Miri to stay for a while, and then she climbed out of the basement alone with a knife.

Then, she saw the strange magic spirit standing quietly at the door, bit by bit starting to devour from the woman's legs.

The twisted curse spirit with rows of sawtooth easily swallowed Mio Ishizawa who was unable to move and woke up from a coma at the worst slow speed.

Chacha didn't move, she raised the knife in her hand, but just watched the scene vigilantly.

It wasn't until Ishizawa Mio was completely dead and was about to be completely swallowed that she quickly turned the direction of the knife and made a gesture of drawing the knife.

She has no spells, and her huge mana power is just blocked and unusable.

Therefore, Kitazawa Chacha only has skills, and a body that has been gradually tempered by the huge magic power that cannot be used, and is much stronger than ordinary people.

And the excellent martial arts taught by Uo himself.

When the extremely tough bone knife burst out with the girl's tense thigh muscles, it swung forward with lightning speed, making a shocking sonic boom.

The air current lifted the girl's hair, and the curse spirit, who was taller than Chacha himself, was cut into three sections in the blink of an eye, and then collapsed.

A curse around level two.

Chacha estimated based on the strength of the bone family trainers of different levels that her father had brought out for her, then swung the bone knife neatly, ignoring the wreckage of the curse spirit on the ground, and jumped back to the basement.

Why this level of curse?

Shouldn't have been there not too long ago.

Even if I misjudged, Dad can't misjudge.

Chacha muttered, thanking his father for carefully leaving the bone knife behind, at the same time sending a text message to Uosu to report Miri's condition and the unknown curse.

"Go out first."

Uosheng replied two words.

So Chacha put the phone away, then carried Miri out, and quickly moved out with the little girl who was bruised and bruised.

However, she had just walked a short distance when an explosion was heard upstairs unexpectedly.

The whole house was shaking.

dad?

Chacha suddenly raised her head, her heart seemed to stop for a moment.

Soon, one after another violent explosions began to explode from all over the villa.

Not only the top floor, but even the first floor had an explosion.

Chacha barely left the gate of the villa at the critical moment, she hugged Miri in her arms, and used her back to block the impact and debris of the explosion placed in the corridor of the entrance.

She was thrown several meters away, and she rolled countless times. When she got up from the tinnitus and dizziness holding Miri, the raging flames had already spread to all parts of the crumbling building.

.

3 minutes ago.

That bone wolf that can only move...is really strange.

It's not a shikigami, maybe it's a curse spirit... and there is no breath of a curse spirit.

I have been observing the fourth-level curse at Ishizawa's house last month, which only has monitoring capabilities. When this day finally comes, I specially took the time to come here. At this time, I am sitting on the branch of a huge tree in the woods outside the villa. , Xia Youjie, who was going to wait and see, thought to himself.

Because Miri and Yusuke were separated, he specially placed one more of this fourth-level curse, and observed the situation on both sides at the same time.

Miri was in the basement, but Yusuke was on the top floor of the building.

Compared to Miri, Yusuke's condition is even worse.

Although he wasn't dead yet, there was basically only one breath left.

The bone wolf, which searched all the way and had no breath, went berserk and bit off Ishizawa Hidematsu's head almost the moment it saw Yusuke - that guy just planned to cut off the child's other arm.The one that had been cut off was placed on what looked like an altar.

The bone wolf showed its disgusting fangs towards the altar, growled silently for a while, then stepped on the man's body all the way to the unconscious Yusuke.

The bone wolf transformed into a human skeleton.

The humanoid skeleton doesn't seem to know whether to move each other...because Yusuke's condition is really bad

In the end, it chose to bandage the wound first to stop the bleeding.

The movements are very smooth and careful.

——If this breathless skeleton is a curse spirit...

Xia Youjie looked at Chacha and Miri at the same time, raising his eyebrows in thought.

So, this is the "Guardian God" who can save people?

No, no, if it is the "Guardian God", rather than useless bandages, the rumored "healing ability" should be used, right?

The rumors are wrong?

No, there should be nothing wrong with this, there are too many examples after the Yokohama dragon war.

So, is it because the "Guardian God" didn't follow?

No, not right.

The pair of twins had no means of communication, and the two monkeys in Shizawa’s family did not show any flaws. Someone should not have come to rescue them so quickly—according to normal logic, the pair of twins brought to such a place basically It is certain death.

But in fact, someone did come to the rescue.

According to what Kitazawa Chacha said to the child named Miri, which was relayed by the faint fourth-level curse hidden in the corner, the "Guardian God" indeed heard the prayers of the two children, so he came to save people of.

Is there any additional condition, so that the real "Guardian God" has not yet come out?

Xia Youjie looked at the unidentified humanoid skeleton that was suspected to be a curse spirit, but he didn't understand it.

In the end, he simply set his sights on Bei Ze Cha Cha.

...Compared to this pair of little dragons and phoenix twins who knew nothing, perhaps Kitazawa Chacha, who claims to be the messenger of the "Guardian God" and has a higher degree of intimacy, knows more things.

It's really troublesome to go around. Anyway, the person has placed an order, so I just grabbed her and asked her.

Xia Youjie remembered that he had such a spell spirit with the ability to hypnotize - although the implementation conditions were relatively harsh, it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with a girl in her teens.

Xia Youjie, who had been watching for so long but failed to keep his goal, let out a curse with the mentality of "trying and it won't hurt".

——that is, the one that killed Ishizawa Mio and tried to attack Chacha.

As a result, it seemed that the child's strength was underestimated.

"Oh, it doesn't look like anything special, but at this age, it's already able to deal with the second-level curse spirit alone. It's really good." Xia Youjie, who had almost infinite patience with his conjurer companion, praised.

Just when he was about to release a first-level spell... The villa exploded.

.

Every time the Ishizawa couple "acts", they will install a small heartbeat detection device for each other.

If both of them die, the bomb placed in the villa will trigger a 20-second countdown from the moment after both of them stop their heartbeats.

The original purpose... is probably to follow their teachings, even if they encounter "difficulties" and "tribulations", they must bring what they consider "happiness" to the world at the last moment.

Count it up.

It happened to be the last 20 seconds after the bone wolf on the top floor bit off Hidematsu Ishizawa's neck and treated Yusuke's wound, and Mio Ishizawa, who was knocked unconscious by Chacha Kitazawa on the first floor, was swallowed by the magic spirit released by Xia Youjie.

.

The villa was burning rapidly, and the dark night sky was completely illuminated.

The scorching sizzling sound was endless, and the choking black smoke billowed high into the sky.

The fire has gotten out of control almost beyond repair.

however.

No one else came out.

Kitazawa Chacha hugged Miri, watched the flames burning, hoping to fall to the bottom little by little.

"Then it's a promise, Miri, we're going to see the red-leaved forest together in autumn."

Miri, who was protected by Chacha in her arms, hadn't recovered from the ringing in her ears when she was already attracted by the sea of ​​fire.

She stretched out her bruised hand, her eyes were instantly red and covered with tears.

—There is no more autumn.

.

In the monstrous fire caused by the explosion, the air flow moved rapidly.

The already raging night wind was an accomplice, blowing the flames more and more intensely.

At this time, a golden leaf fell off under the air current, was lifted high by the night wind, turned over and fell, and just floated into Miri's hand.

——Trees shed their leaves all year round, but they shed less in spring and summer, and the growth rate of new leaves is much faster than that of falling leaves.

Miri caught the fallen leaf.

It was as if Autumn had been sent back to her.

at the same time.

Two figures suddenly appeared directly above the flame.

One of them let go of his hand and fell into the flames without hesitation.
