Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Knotweed was taken aback.

Although the sudden change only lasted for a short moment.

Before he could react, the pierced heart healed in the blink of an eye.Except for the inconspicuous puncture on the clothes, there was basically no trace left - not only was there no pain, even a drop of blood did not flow out.

So the knotweed just touched the position of his chest in a daze, and made a puzzled and hesitant sound with his head empty.

"Eh? Eh?" The boy turned his head left and right, and looked at the two adults and peers around him with natural expressions.

Their attitudes were so calm that Hu Zhang couldn't help wondering if he was hallucinating.

Hui blinked and asked, "How is it, Dad?"

"Hmm... In short, because of the complete recovery of the container, the immortality of the special-grade cursed object also disappeared."

Uo, who had wiped off the bone spur, took a step back, tilted his head, and continued to observe the condition of the knotweed with his magic eyes open, while patiently answering his son's question:

"As long as there is an understandable concept of death, my technique can capture the dead line and dead point. However, this spell has been completely mixed with this child, and the dead line and dead point have also coincided. Come to think of it, it’s already impossible to separate, at least I can’t do it... If I directly hold the idea of ​​​​killing the cursed object itself, the child will also die. "

"So, I was looking for the distinction between the two that still exists today... Although it has been completely mixed with the cursed object, because of the child's special physique, the conscious body, or soul, of the two is still clearly independent. Open, so I changed a solution."

There is no such thing as panting to tantalize people's appetite, and the black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit quickly revealed the answer:

"...Even if the cursed object can't be peeled off, as long as the cursed object's consciousness is erased, there is no need to worry that the child's body will be occupied by the curse."

Gojo Satoru let out a "wow", tilted his head and rubbed his chin to look at the unlucky boy named Polygonum cuspidatum.He couldn't see much change, after all, the spell object was still fused with the knotweed itself, and the "six eyes" couldn't see the existence of "abstract concepts" such as soul and consciousness.

But knowing the effect of the Uno technique, he understood what the other party meant.

Gojo Wu: "That is to say, the "consciousness body" of the two-faced Su Nuo was killed by you, sir, but the mantra remained and was inherited by this kid? "

Uzumaki nodded.

Then he added: "When the conscious body of the two-faced Su Nuo and the child's conscious body of the knotweed appeared at the same time—just like just now, the former created eyes and mouths on the surface of its skin to observe the outside world under the premise that the knotweed king was in charge of the initiative. Communicating with us, this situation, the distinction between two different consciousnesses of the same body, is most obvious to me."

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit gestured, "...so I took this opportunity to try to do it. So far, the result I have observed is that the other consciousness body has been successfully eliminated... Mr. Knotweed, Can you feel any difference yourself?"

Polygonum cuspidatum: "Although I didn't understand it, I really can't hear that guy's voice."

"Really, that would be great." Uosheng breathed a sigh of relief, his brows and eyes softened a little, and then he bowed, "Besides, I'm really sorry for the sudden attack, but I can't greet you in advance, if If I tell you the process in advance and make you mentally prepared, it will not be able to achieve the unexpected effect, after all, it is the cursed king who has lived for thousands of years, so there may be some means of self-protection."

"It's okay, sir, it's for my safety, isn't it?" Although he was stabbed at the vital point, the pink-haired boy still simply and neatly raised his bright and optimistic smile at the beginning, and replied thoughtfully.

——Like a happy puppy who can't hold a grudge and has no vigilance.

It's a bit like my chacha.

Especially those warm brown eyes.

Uno was stunned for a moment, thinking of this, his heart softened inevitably.

The young Knotweed is indeed very likable, especially for senior elders like Uo, there is no way not to like him.

Couldn't help but raised his hand and patted the opponent's head, the tall curse spirit said gently: "Fortunately, your consciousness is firm, and you have not been swallowed or obliterated by the special curse object... After all, the direct mixing of the curse object and the container is so thorough. , without this breakthrough, I would not be able to save you."

"Then am I alright?" Hu Zhang pointed to himself vigorously.

Then Gojo Satoru poured cold water on him.

"No, it's hard to say."

The white-haired strongest conjurer spread his hands, "After all, the finger you ate will never come back. It is a very, very rare super-curse that will be taken seriously once it is discovered. It is impossible to be perfunctory." In the past, now it’s gone, Mr. Hui and I have to give an explanation to the magic circle. Of course, the fact that Su Nuo’s consciousness was killed by Mr. must not be revealed, this is for the safety of Mr. Uno... no Do you know about the existence of Mr. Ti, Youren?"

Bending down, the skilled artisan leaning in front of Knotweed sticks up a finger with a smile, "So, next, we have to discuss a solution to the problem of where the spell you ate will go."

Surprised by the rarity with the addition of two quantifiers, Polygonum cuspidatum swallowed as if facing a formidable enemy, "Do you want to lose money?"

Gojo Satoru: Huh?

Unexpectedly, the problem of money, what Wujo Wu was worried about was actually how to arrange the knotweed that inherited the power of the double-faced Nuo spell.

Now there are basically two directions: one is to start with the whereabouts of the fingers, make the whereabouts of the fingers unknown, and conceal the existence of the knotweed; the other is to report the matter of the knotweed, and find a way to prove the harmlessness of the knotweed.

Gojo Gojo blinked when he was told about the money issue.

"Well... so speaking, the fingers of the two-faced Su Nuo are indeed quite expensive." The right hand was tapped on the palm of the left hand, and Gojo Satoru diverged his thinking along this statement: "How much is the super-grade spell worth? If it is placed on the black market, let alone say it." Is it going to be several hundred million?"

I have never heard of such a large number of Polygonum cuspidatum instantaneously, the pupils trembled, and the whole person seemed to be petrified and turned into a dramatic black and white color.

The only family member of Polygonum cuspidatum, his grandfather, passed away today, and he is at the end of his life.

Although the legacy left to Polygonum cuspidatum is quite large, it is far from enough for this exaggerated figure.

Doing the math, at most, this small high school student can live comfortably in a well-to-do family until he graduates from college.

The knotweed was crumbling, and his bent forward posture in frustration was shrouded in the shadows, and he began to think about what work he was going to do and how long he would have to work before he could pay back the money.

"Enlightenment."

Uno slowly tilted his head, he looked helplessly at a certain mischievous white-haired young man, and said the other's name gently and steadily, "No."

Gojo Satoru, who was not big enough, shrugged with a smile.

Hui also walked over and bent down, poked the back of the knotweed stick, and pulled him up, "That guy is just joking, there is no need to lose money at all, we all wish we could find a way to destroy the special cursed object... what we are worried about is not this."

"Anyway, let's go into the house first." Uosheng also walked towards the knotweed, patted the opponent's head gently again, and comforted him: "Are you tired from today's accident? I'm sorry, can you hold on for a while?"

Knotweed who was attacked by Motou didn't know why his face was so hot, he stammered "Oh".

Uno: "Good boy... Speaking of which, are you hungry? I have prepared some supper. Anyway, eat something to fill your belly, and then discuss business matters."

Yujin Yuzhang, who grew up dependent on his grandfather and never met his parents, was attacked by the family atmosphere of Mr. Cursing, who was both a father and a mother.

In the end, he succeeded in being sunk by the most ideal perfect elder.

Kitazawa's father is super gentle——

.

Not long ago, Gojo Satoru rushed to the scene to deal with the follow-up. Knowing that there was no major problem, Uosu stayed in the apartment and prepared some food.

It is fried noodles.

It follows the path of Chinese cuisine. The side dishes are simple, such as shredded vegetables and pork, and the seasonings are also simple. The only thing that is not simple is the chef's craftsmanship.

Simply put, delicious.

Hui, who hadn't eaten his old father's food for a long time, silently added another bowl, and the surprisingly large amount of knotweed had already eaten the third bowl.

"It's super delicious! Mr. Uno!" The knotty knotweed with gleaming eyes gestured with puffy cheeks.

Since both Kei and Uo had the surname Kitazawa, he changed his name as a matter of course with permission.

"Eat it for me before you talk!" Hui moved away in disgust, "You bastard, the powder fell!"

The scene that was originally thought to be very serious seems to be moving towards an overly cheerful development.

These two teenagers of similar age seem to hit it off by accident.

"Really, Mr. Uno dotes on children too much." Gojo Satoru looked at this scene and shook his head.

Even if it temporarily solves the problem of two-faced Nuo seizing the house, it is not so easy to get rid of the knotweed that swallows the cursed object and obtains the cursed power of the cursed object.

"Isn't this very good?" Uosheng took a sip of his tea calmly, "What are you doing to make children worry?"

It's not something adults like them can't resist.

Now that the resistance is down, of course the children should feel at ease.

What else can Gojo Satoru do? Mr. Uso's stubbornness and gentleness are not just a matter of a day or two.

Even if he wanted to lure good seedlings into his faction again, in front of the only patriarch he recognized, the arrogant and superficial Gojo Satoru could only restrain himself obediently.

——While enjoying family-like care, it is inevitable to be supervised by the parents.

Although it is said that Wujo Satoru, who has nestled into this house with a dead skin and shame, quite likes this kind of supervision.

all in all.

When it came time to discuss the business, Uo, who was particularly partial to children, didn't give Gojo Satoru a chance when he tried to abduct someone, and calmly explained the current situation of Knotweed.

"...You have inherited Su Nuo's too filthy mantra. Rounding it up is equivalent to having the basic conditions to become a conjurer, and your daily life will inevitably change. For example, you can now move without any external force. You can see the curse spirit directly with your naked eyes, and you will inevitably see those things in your future life."

"And we have an important arrangement here. As you can see, I am a curse spirit. Once exposed to the magic world, I will be sentenced to death and be wanted. And I can't expose my own existence yet. Therefore, You can't tell me about my solution to Su Nuo's consciousness."

"To sum up, you probably have two options now."

Uzumaki explained calmly and patiently.

The first option is for Gojo Satoru and Kitazawa Megumi to collude with each other to make the whereabouts of the fingers unknown and conceal the existence of the knotweed, so that Yuzu Yuhito can temporarily return to daily life under the arrangement.

Knotweed immediately raised his hand, and asked worriedly, "Make your fingers unidentifiable? Will Mr. Wujo and Kei have any punishment?"

Gojo Satoru: "I'm not the person in charge, so of course I won't be punished, um... Hui who accepted the task probably has a little problem."

Deducting money is of course, the most troublesome thing is that you will be charged with serious negligence, which may have a bad impact on Hui Future's competition for high-level institutions.

"It won't be a big problem, we will collude to make a good excuse." Hui reassured without thinking, he obviously wanted to let the knotweed go back to daily life.

Because Hui is well aware of the cruelty and danger of conjurers.

"What's the second option?" Knotabagi Yuhito didn't express his thoughts directly, but asked the next one.

Gojo Satoru happily took over the task of answering.

He said:

"The other way is to report your affairs, of course, leaving out the part after Mr. Uno. To put it simply, you will still be a "time bomb that can be cursed and seized at any time" in the eyes of high-level officials. If there is no accident, you will be sentenced to death. Of course, I will help you get a reprieve, and then prove your harmlessness bit by bit. "

"Su Nuo has a total of 20 fingers, and super-grade cursed objects cannot be destroyed. The only way to destroy them is to revive after being swallowed by the container, and then destroy them together with the cursed objects through the death of the container... So, I In the name of "allowing you to swallow more cursed objects so that they can be destroyed together at the end", you can win the right to move freely for you, so that you can join the high school and become a magician like us. "

"Now that you have the power of a curse, you are fully qualified to become a conjurer...By the way, only a curse can kill a curse. If you don't learn how to use the power of a curse, you won't be able to kill a curse."

Hu Zhang blinked blankly, "Conjurer...is it like Hui?"

"Correct."

Wujo Wu, who is short of people, strongly sells Amway, "Is it a very amazing job? The income is also very high. Of course, you will inevitably eat more curses, but with Mr. Uo, every time you swallow Curse, just come here and deal with Su Nuo’s consciousness, maybe you can swallow all of Su Nuo’s power in the end, oh, that’s quite a magic power.”

Uosheng raised his hand, and with a little force, he knocked on the head of Wujo Wujo, who sold Amway.

Wujo Wutiao, who obviously had a lower limit but was not used, let out a pretentious "Aw".

Uobu ignored him, but with a dignified expression and a knotweed stick explaining the danger and high casualty rate of conjurers, complementing the cruel reality under the beautiful vision described by Gojo Satoru.

The upper echelons of the conjuration world are very corrupt.

The road to reform is long, and knotweed, as a container, will inevitably face discrimination and hostility for a long time to come.

And conjurers have no security at all, and there are not a few who die without a whole body... It is a very scary and dangerous job.

"I don't want you to choose the second path." Uogi said worriedly, not forgetting to cite a few bad and tragic examples.

Knotweed was involved innocently.

Therefore, whether it is Usheng or Kei, they don't want the other party to continue to suffer too much.

The world of conjurers is not as sunny as ordinary society.

This is their kindness.

However, for today's unaccompanied Knotweed, making a choice...doesn't seem to require hesitation.

The grandfather of the knotweed passed away today.

Before his death, the grandfather left his last words to his only grandson.

"You are very powerful. If you want to save others, do what you can. If you can, do your best. It doesn't matter if you are confused. It doesn't matter if you don't get thanks. In short, you have to work hard to save more people. "*1

"You die surrounded by people, don't be like me."*2

It doesn't matter if you are impulsive, or you are self-righteous because you haven't experienced the beatings of society.

At least for now, Polygonum cuspidatum has indeed made a choice of his own will under the fully explained two paths.

"Becoming a magician can save many people, right?"

Yuzu Yuren scratched his face, and said, "Besides, the fingers of the two-faced Su Nuo are very dangerous, and if you want to destroy that special curse, you need my container, right?"

This is something he intends to do in the future, and this is something only he can do.

If he just returned to his daily routine...with the character of Knotweed, he couldn't do it.

Because once he thinks that someone might die because of Su Nuo, he can't tell himself that it has nothing to do with me, it's not my fault.

——You can clearly do something, you can clearly dispose of those dangerous cursed objects.

A gentle boy with strong empathy, he chose the latter in order to help and redeem others.

And the knotweed whose only family member has passed away has nothing to worry about.

Uno opened his eyes wide, trying to change the other party's mind.

It's a pity that it still failed.

Uno could only stand up helplessly, put his hands on his chest, and then promised in a deep and hoarse voice: "Since you have decided...then, before you take charge of your own affairs, I will protect you as much as possible." safety."

The mantra spoke very seriously.

Knotweed slowly blinked.

He who was a little uneasy because of the horrific casualties of the conjurer described by Uo, unexpectedly relaxed at this moment.

Maybe some people just have such courage.

Even a simple promise can make people feel at ease.
