Curse of the Eye of the Dead

8 month 30 number.

There are still 2 days left before Xia Youjie's announcement of "Hundred Ghosts at Night".

.

Yokohama and Kyoto are both big cities with a population of one million. Although the Yokohama battlefield is only limited to the Kanagawa area, there are at least more than 20 people. It is basically impossible to completely evacuate this number of people within two weeks. possible.

What's more, if they really emptied the population of an area, no one knew whether Xia Youjie would temporarily change the place where the war was declared - after all, the magic world was on the defensive side, and it was really quite passive before the war started.

Therefore, the "window", the logistics force of the conjuration world, had to find another channel.

Considering that the leading war happened just last year, the representatives of "Window" and the government decided to temporarily close the traffic leading to these two areas and only allow Residents inside relied on their identification to evacuate the battlefield from the restricted roads. At the same time, they increased public opinion through the media to further assist in the implementation of the evacuation plan.

The reason why it is so troublesome to check the identity certificate and limit the evacuation route of the civilians is nothing more than to create a sense of urgency and crisis for the civilians, which can be regarded as a psychological tactic.

After all, if nothing is restricted, the public will inevitably ask questions such as "what if terrorists also fish in troubled waters and leave" and "will terrorist attacks really happen?"Some restrictions, on the contrary, can better prove the excuse and speed up the evacuation of the people.

Of course, the number of people who are willing to evacuate immediately is a minority after all, and more people are limited to their own conditions and cannot leave. However, this situation is also expected by the magic world, so people who have "windows" have sent it in advance Inform and request the public to hide in the building on the day of the incident and not to go out.

Secretly, "window" will also set up special barriers in advance on the building complex, try its best to ensure the safety of civilians, and at the same time create an environment for the conjurers to fight with all their might.

In order to reduce the casualty rate of the upcoming war, "window" has worked hard.

But they were busy going around before the war, and when the war started, they were still doomed to have no time to rest.

According to the schedule, the logistics staff of "Window" had to patrol in twos and threes during the war, while scouting the location of the curse and reporting it to the headquarters, who would arrange for idle conjurers to go to the designated place to exorcise them. You have to protect yourself or bite your teeth to protect the people who are unfortunately involved in it before the magician arrives.

no doubt.

These auxiliary supervisors who lack combat ability but are still willing to risk high casualties to the front line are as respectable as magicians.

Usheng released several bone birds to go out to patrol at high altitude.

He observed the progress of the magic world through the sight of the bone bird, and at the same time confirmed the safety of the evacuation route.

Yes, evacuate.

Route to evacuate children to safety.

As the date of the Great War approached, Uo, who knew that he might be targeted and whose home address happened to be in Kanagawa District, could not continue to let his children stay in the war zone.

Kei volunteered to join the war, but when both Gojo Satoru and Toranojiro suspected that Xia Youjie would attack Kitazawa Uo, this request was ruthlessly rejected.

The same goes for Chacha who wants to stay in the detective agency.

The Armed Detective Agency was the first local organization to know that Yokohama was about to face another disaster—it was revealed by Chacha, who used Wujo Satoru as a lot of excuses, and the members of the Detective Agency who had been together for many years and had faintly noticed something did not investigate. As the source of Chacha's news, the president only left the house as soon as he heard the news.

It didn't take long before the Yokohama government finally approved the operation permission that the conjuration community was stalemate, and this did not delay the operation process.

all in all.

Hui and Chacha were the two who had been clearly inquired by Xia Youjie's subordinates, so they were the only ones who had to avoid them no matter what.

As for the little dragons and phoenix twins—they were also seen in the suburbs of Tokyo, and they would naturally have to be sent away.

Those two children often go to Oda's house to play with Chacha during the day.The five children of the Oda family are all orphans of the Dragon Head War, and they are about the same age as Miri and Yusuke, so they get along well with each other.

The little dragon and phoenix who vaguely knew that this might be their new home also worked hard to adapt after learning the distance between the Oda family and the Kitazawa family. The level of acceptance of Oda Sakunosuke was also due to the subtle intimacy and Sister Chacha's status as a colleague has gradually improved... If nothing unexpected happens, the adoption should almost be settled.

It was also because of the baby twins that when Uosheng arranged to evacuate, Chacha took the five children of the Oda family away by the way.

——Chacha, Yusuke, Miri, and the children of the Oda family went to the house under the name of Toranojiro in Gunma Prefecture yesterday, and the house just happened to be full.

Although Akutagawa Gin and Akutagawa Ryunosuke are not registered in the Kitazawa family, because the two families are too close, Uo also persuaded them to leave just in case.

——Tsu Miki, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and Akutagawa Gin will go to one of the apartments in Gojo Satoru's properties that are almost all over the country today.

But the Central Plains Central Committee refused to leave.

He stayed at the detective agency to help out.

"Ordinary people with supernatural powers can only see the blurred shadow of the curse, but I may be able to see the curse spirit completely because of Huangba's vomiting or laboratory background."

Chuya patted his chest and said earnestly: "The detective agency is going to do something in Kanagawa...then there must be a visible helper, otherwise Mr. Ranpo, who is an ordinary person, will be safe. There is Dazai, the guy whose ability is useless against curse spirits and who likes to join in the fun and seek death, as well as other incapable people in the detective agency... I don’t want to see their dead bodies when I come back.”

"In short, Mr. Uno, don't worry, that curse master hasn't seen me before, so it's impossible to come here specially, but even if the other party really came to the door...that's fine, I will help solve it! Curse spirit? It doesn't matter, Hui Lend me his spell!"

By the way, the Akutagawa brothers and sisters, who were reluctant to leave because Chuya stayed, were forcibly sent away by Chuya who crushed them.

And the last remaining Kei——

He will be sent by Gojo Satoru to the Tokyo Conjuration High School tomorrow to stay with Otoko Yuta.

From the current point of view, the winning rate of the side of the magic circle in the "Hyakki Night Walk" incident is too high, so the high-level will not easily use the trump card of Otoko Yuta--before Otoko Yuta can completely control "Sato" freely, The conjuration world will not easily relax its supervision, lest the other party lose control.

Yi Gu Youtai will be left in the high school.

And the little conjurer Shihui, who has a good relationship with Yi Gu and is going to enter the college next year, was arranged by Gojo Wu to take refuge there.

"You can take a look at your future learning environment by the way."

Gojo Satoru made such a suggestion with a smile.

On August 8, Hui, who wanted to help in the war, was sent away by Gojo Satoru with a bad face, and he stayed overnight in Yigu's dormitory.

The next day, March 2017, 9.

The time for "Hundred Ghosts at Night" announced by Xia Youjie has arrived.

One hour before the agreed evening time.

Megumi, who followed Otoko Yuta for a walk in the Tokyo Jujutsu High School campus, touched the bone chain on her wrist, chatted and chatted, and was inevitably worried about the situation in Yokohama.

.

"When I was in high school... because I just came out of the Wujo family, my personality and cognition have not completely shaken off the influence of that place. At that time, my cognition of "justice" and "right and wrong" , I basically refer to that guy... because I couldn't judge the boundary at that time. "

The children were all sent away, and the Kitazawa family, where only Uo was left, was visited by Gojo Satoru before the war started.

Gojo Satoru, who explained the war arrangements with Uo, sat in the edge of the edge after talking about the business, drinking tea and snacks, and chatting.

Gojo Satoru bit a wagashi, and recounted the past slowly and nostalgic.

.

Xia Youjie, who was in the high school period, was a stickler for "right theory".

Although he is also a problem child, he is skin to skin, but his essence is not bad... He can even be called gentle at critical moments, and he can be called perfect in terms of morality.

He is more popular than Gojo Satoru, and more admired by younger generations.

At that time, he would seriously say "spells exist to protect non-spellcasters".

——Completely different from the current leader of the Panxing Sect.

If we do the math, the accident should have been born in the first failure experienced by them who thought they were the strongest at that time.

The failure of the "Astroplasma Body" incident, the death of Riko Amauchi, and the original Panxing Cultists who cheered for the death of an innocent girl...

Xia Youjie's belief was shaken by the extremely ugly appearance shown by the cheers of ordinary people who had no magic power but only knew the existence of the magic spirit and Tianyuan and worshiped Tianyuan.

Later, the death of the juniors, and the "bad roots" of ordinary people who started to notice inadvertently during the missions made Xia Youjie, who discovered that the magician's stranger was "a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood", had a feeling for the non-magician. An uncontrollable feeling of ill-feeling.

He began to lose sight of the good side of ordinary people, but was more and more drawn to the bad side.

In the end, what broke Xia Youjie's last sliver of protection for "Positive Theory" was the scene of two girls being bullied and humiliated by villagers in a remote village.

Villagers who don't know spells reject the two girls with strange abilities, calling them monsters that bring disaster—even though they are the protectors who drive away the monsters.

Destroyed by malice, Xia Youjie went to extremes.

He killed a total of 112 people in that village.

Then, claiming to "kill all non-magicians and create a world with only magicians", he defected after killing his parents, who were ordinary people, in order to show equality.

From a beacon of adherence to "right theory" to a crazy and cruel sure criminal.

For this reason, he even took over the Panxing Sect, which he once hated, with brute force, and used it as his own stronghold to start accumulating strength.

"..."

Uno couldn't make any comments for a while.

To sum up, this is probably a sad story about a dragon-slaying brave who eventually becomes a dragon.

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit was incomprehensible for the other party's wonderful logical thinking.

How did the other party get into such a dead end?

Moreover, why did you do the thing of killing blood relatives?

Was it his parents who treated him badly?

But for a gentle boy who once insisted on "right theory", how bad would his original family be?

The empty-headed Uo couldn't turn a corner. He regarded his family as the most important thing whether he was alive or after death, and he couldn't easily accept this.

"The beginning is very similar to the story called "Knight" written by Mr. Uo, right?"*1

Gojo Satoru suddenly remembered something, and said, "It's all about the weak guardians who were shaken, the only difference is that the Gelt knight met someone who could see his collapse and pull him back from the edge of the abyss , and I couldn't do it."

Even though he is the only close friend of the other party, for Xia Youjie, a commoner conjurer from an ordinary family, the only people he can confide in are the highly educated ones—especially himself as a friend.

But Gojo Satoru didn't notice at that time.

By the time the tragedy happened, it was too late.

"I'm sorry." Uosu breathed out after silence, "But, Satoru, the war will start tomorrow."

"I know, I won't hesitate any longer."

Occasionally, Gojo Satoru would also think: If he hadn't stopped because he couldn't bear it when Jie had just defected ten years ago, the crimes committed by the other party in the past ten years might not have happened.

It will not become more and more distorted step by step, turning into the current unrecognizable appearance.

Gojo Satoru thinks he is responsible.

——So, if I want to kill the opponent and end all mistakes, I have to do it myself.

Gojo Satoru never thought that he would be able to break Xia Youjie's thoughts back.

Because they are best friends, no one knows each other's character better than him.

That guy cut off all his retreats when he was a student.

He can't turn back, and he can't turn back.

The bloody crimes committed by the distorted him have already blocked the way back.

Such a person will not change his philosophy even until the last moment.

The current Xia Youjie can only continue to stick to this absurd and ridiculous "ideal" until self-destruction.

.

——If Xia Youjie comes to your door, I'll take care of it.

September 9, at dusk.

Uo, who was sitting on the roof of Kitazawa's house, thought calmly.

No matter what, it was too much for Satoru to kill his friend.

As an elder, he couldn't turn a blind eye to emotion or reason.

however.

Before waiting for Xia Youjie to appear in Yokohama, Uoyu suddenly sensed something abnormal in Hui's side.

.

Tokyo Conjuration High School.

While visiting the classroom with Otoko Yuta, Kei, who was talking with Zenin Maki who was also staying at the high school, suddenly turned her head and looked out the window.

——The pitch-black "tent" was caught off guard above the high school.
