Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Human beings are heartless.

Yoshino Junpei, who was severely bullied at school, was "rescued" as fragile as a bubble because of this idea.

——Otherwise, why would such a thing happen to him?

They were punched and kicked, and abused.

Isolated, blackmailed, bullied.

He was burned with cigarette butts to get several scars, and was forcefully stuffed with disgusting bugs into his mouth.

And then ignored by the bystanders.

……

The super-cursed "Makoto" born from the evil of mankind has proved the dark side of mankind.

It is almost a matter of course that Junpei, whose personality is shaky, will be deceived by real people.

Yoshino Junpei thought that the other party could understand him.

That's why he often comes into contact with such dangerous people, trusts them unknowingly, and doesn't think too much about the unrecognizable behavior of real people transforming human beings, and even takes the initiative to hide real people from the so-called magicians. exist.

It wasn't until his mother Nagi Yoshino was attacked that Junpei woke up suddenly.

...Are all human beings heartless?

Are there no good humans in this world?

No, it is not.

Yoshino Junpei also knew this.

He was just too weak, had experienced too much pain and was unable to resist bullying, and his vision was blinded by too much malice, so that he subconsciously ignored the light around him.

But those lights... never faded.

For example, he has always loved his mother.

The mother who raised the child alone after the divorce was still able to maintain a gentle, cheerful, and kind personality.

Yoshino Junpei's most important mother.

Yes.

No matter how disheartened and bewitched by the curse of hypocrisy this bullied and scarred boy is, no matter how many times he has the urge to kill... But as long as his mother is still there, Yoshino Junpei will never be able to do anything about it do this kind of thing.

He wanted to keep his mother's smile.

I don't want to be a stain on the other side.

However, even so, Junpei still trusted in the curse spirit called "Zhenzhen" before today.

——Until the other party personally broke his trust.

Awakened by the deafening roar and hurried out of the room, Yoshino Junpei was immediately hugged and protected by his trembling mother, Yoshino Nagi, who was at a loss for what to do.

Unlike Nagi Yoshino, who can't see the magic spirit, Junpei, who has only recently acquired the ability to see, and even awakened his own hidden magic technique because of the real person, can easily see the bloody body on his mother's back and side that was grabbed by the magic spirit The wound, and the miasma poisoned on it.

——and the blood that belonged to his mother remained on the claws of the cursed corpse that had been crushed by the punch of the knotweed on the opposite side.

"mom!"

Junpei almost stopped breathing, he yelled, looking at his mother's wound helplessly, "This is, why, why? Why would the curse spirit..."

"Why is there a special curse thing here?" Nagasaki, who was slightly relieved after solving the curse attracted by Su Nuo's finger, picked up the ominous little finger from the ground and asked in puzzlement: "Is this a curse?" Did it appear suddenly?"

"Did someone put it in on purpose?" Hu Zhang shook his hand and asked seriously, "But it seems that no suspicious person is approaching."

"Who knows..." Nagasaki replied, throwing the cursed object to Knotabagi, then turned his head to check on Nagi Yoshino's situation, and comforted the panicked mother and son by the way.

However, before she could get close, a breath of a special magic spirit suddenly burst out in the room without any warning.

Kagezaki and Kozhang froze for a moment, and then their eyes widened instantly, looking at the human-shaped magic spirit who suddenly appeared behind Yoshino mother and son and stretched out his hand to him with a big smile.

The only thing that was not disturbed by the breath was the bone family member carried by the knotweed.

A pile of wolf-shaped skeletons jumped out immediately and knocked Yoshino and her son away.

Even if it involves Nagi Yoshino's wound, it is better than falling into the hands of the curse spirit.

"oops?"

The lost real person looked at the bone kin in amazement. He tilted his head, touched his chin and asked, "Where did you appear? The lack of breath really shocked me, and... Although I looked It looks like a curse spirit, but you have no soul at all, um, are you a puppet being manipulated?"

Naturally, the bone family couldn't answer him, but moved slowly and vigilantly, showing fierce fangs.

"Mr. Real?"

Junpei murmured blankly, he turned to protect his mother tightly, he didn't know why the curse he trusted appeared here...or he didn't want to think in which direction.

Until the real person completely ignored him, and talked with the "Su Nuo's container" on his own, and then under the vigilant and angry questioning of the knotweed, he admitted the matter of reforming people, and then completely tore up Shunping's self-deception——

Real person: "Why did Su Nuo's fingers appear here? Hmm... it has something to do with me, right?"

Junpei suddenly regained his senses in a daze.

He couldn't help recalling the concept of "curse" and what the real person had done, and then looked down at his mother who was infected by the curse on the wound and fell into a coma due to the pain.

The scarred and completely deceived boy let out a desperate growl of anger and pain like an abandoned dog.

"Ah, yes, you're still here, Junpei."

The curse spirit named Zhenren finally noticed the high school students being played around by him.

The super mantra with a handsome face still looks brisk and natural, he continued to make up the knife in a tone like what he had eaten today: "Sorry, I wanted to play with you for a while, but the incident happened suddenly , This is the end of the game, hey, what a pity, to be honest, I quite like your straightforward character, originally I wanted to see how far you can degenerate, and then die stupidly..."

Yoshino Junpei's eyes turned red almost instantly.

Ahhh...

Why did I think that this natural creature born from the most filthy human malice would have good intentions for my fellow human beings?

And why do you think that the opponent who disregards human life and treats human beings as weapons and toys will not shoot at himself and his family?

It was my stupidity that got my mother involved and got her hurt so badly.

"A real person—!!"

Hugging his mother tightly, Junpei shouted with a broken expression, and his shikigami "Yodotsuki" appeared behind him in an instant.

That's Junpei's most recent power, a huge and fantastically beautiful light blue jellyfish shikigami.

Junpei can hide in Shikigami's body to avoid attacks, and he can also use poisonous tentacles to launch a counterattack, but even so, his little power is still too weak for a real person who is a super magic spirit.

Yanyue was instantly caught by the tentacle of the real person, and his body transformation technique "Wuwei Transformation" was activated, and Yanyue was distorted and destroyed in an instant, and then completely dissipated.

Junpei spat out a mouthful of blood, and there was severe pain in all internal organs.

The same Shikigami, Junpei and Megumi are completely different.

Junpei's shikigami mainly uses poison as an attack method. The size of the shikigami, the strength of the poison and the strength of the shikigami can be adjusted*1, but there is only one shikigami. Although it can be regenerated, the cooldown time is long. , after the shikigami is completely destroyed, it will also have an impact on the sorcerer's body to a certain extent, and the intensity of the impact is related to the strength of the sorcerer himself.

All in all, the current Junpei is too weak.

Really...too weak.

The severe pain from the body made him more uncomfortable than the emotional pain.

Junpei, whose tears kept falling, curled up and moaned, murmuring in his heart over and over again.

I'm too weak, that's why I've been bullied till now.

Too weak, that's why she gave up on herself and was deceived and teased by the curse.

She is too weak, that's why she doesn't even have the strength to protect herself and her mother.

Be it heart, will, wisdom or strength, they are all too weak.

It would be nice if it could be stronger.

...In the end, why am I the one going through all this?

Although Junpei before high school was not very eye-catching, he was also a cheerful, ordinary and optimistic kid with two or three friends chatting about movie plots together.

Why on earth did it become like this?

boom! ! !

Another roar.

Junpei raised his head in a trance, looking at Knotabazu and Nagasaki who stood firmly in front of him after a short battle for several rounds.

"Shunpei! Can you still go?" Knotabazu shouted nervously: "If you can still go, hurry up and take Auntie out of here, Nagasaki, leave this place to me, please send them away."

"Hey, are you okay?" Nagasaki just asked seriously, holding a hammer, without asking about the bone kin that appeared suddenly.

"No problem! Kei will come over soon, and I will support you here."

"I understand, but listen carefully, Knotweed, you must not die before Hui and I come back!"

"Oh!" Knotweed nodded without hesitation.

So Nagisa Nagizaki turned around decisively, entrusted her back to her companion, and then directly carried Junpei and Nagi Yoshino with a height of less than 1.6 meters.

Nazaki's face turned black.

With a stinky face, she fled from the opposite direction of the curse spirit cursing.

"Why...?" Junpei couldn't help murmuring, looking at the steadfast figures of the two young conjurers who only met once, he couldn't understand at all.

He didn't understand why outsiders would bully him at will, and why outsiders were willing to risk their lives to protect him.

"Why? Ah, really, you are very heavy, hey! If you recover and still have strength, come down and run by yourself!" Nagasaki said bluntly.

"Yes, yes!" Junpei stammered and nodded, he got down from being carried, endured the pain and followed the girl with short brown hair and black uniform to escape.

The "tent" seems to have been given an additional effect. Within the enveloped residential area, other people fell into a deep coma unconsciously—this is even worse, and those who are attracted by the curse may do something. , can't escape.

The situation must be brought under control as soon as possible...!

On the way, Nagizaki encountered a curse that was also attracted by the cursed object. The brown-haired girl handed Nagi Yoshino back to Junpei, while she took out the nail neatly and used it imposingly. His own "spiritual spell" eliminated the enemy.

And during the spare time of fleeing, Junpei finally asked his own confusion.

Nazaki raised an eyebrow inexplicably.

"Ah? Why did you save you? What is the problem? Really... In short, listen to me, we are magicians, and it is our duty to exorcise the spirit of the curse. It is our responsibility and our conscience to save you. , we are not cold-blooded enough to allow ordinary people to die in front of our eyes and remain indifferent!"

"...Also! Although you are really wronged and painful, don't give up on yourself. Your mother is protecting you until the end. Since you will explode for your mother, it means that you still have something to protect Is the person who cherishes you here? If that’s the case, please cheer me up afterwards. By the way, you’ve already cried before, so cry hard—but don’t cry now, I can’t stand boys crying You're so miserable, you won't cry until I send you to a safe place."

Nagizaki said incessantly and disgustedly, then glanced at Junpei who was slightly stunned because she pointed out the past of being bullied, and clicked his tongue and added:

"Just to be clear, being bullied is not your fault, it's the scum's fault, the only thing we don't feel right about you is the fact that you put your trust in the curse that killed so many people and accept what they did ...But it's not to the point of being irreparable, so if you feel unwilling, annoyed and angry after you wake up, just give me a way to make changes after I live!"

"There are indeed a lot of scum in this world, but don't just treat everyone as a scum, and don't turn yourself into that kind of scum. If you hate those who bully you, then hate them bluntly and don't want to forgive , don’t forgive, hate what should be hated, scold what should be scolded, don’t be tolerant if you can’t be tolerant! Don’t hold back everything.”

"If you don't want to be bullied anymore, then start working hard from now on to become stronger and smarter. You can either fight back or use your brain to fight back. It really doesn't work. It's not a shame to run away. What's wrong with staying away from the garbage dump?

By the way, if I were you, even if I can't fight for a while, and no one is calling the shots for me, I will never give in. I will be bullied anyway, so I will bite back even if my leg is broken. I can bite The first bite will sooner or later tear off the skin of those rubbish. The punks in the school are all bullying and fearful guys. If you beat them back and know that they are not easy to provoke, you will be persuaded! "

Miss Nagasaki bared her teeth fiercely, like a dangerous cheetah that is honest and courageous.

Shunping hugged his mother tightly in a daze, his eyes turned red again.

However, unlike the previous despair, this time it was extremely complex and subtle with a bit of sourness caused by relief.

"I told you not to cry in front of me!" Nagasaki sighed, complained casually, and finally took him out of the range of the "tent".

The girl handed Junpei her mobile phone.

"You have my mobile phone, the password is XXXX. I just called and asked Mr. Yidizhi to pick you up. The location is at the intersection ahead. He will take you to deal with your mother's injuries. Next, you have to meet Mr. Yidizhi by yourself , if you can't find anyone, use the number in the address book to contact... no problem?"

Nagasaki looked at the other party seriously, trying to endure his anxiety.

"Yes, no problem!"

Shunping sniffed, it was related to his mother's injury, he immediately cheered up, he seemed to want to say something before leaving, he stammered and lowered his head and said quickly: "Please be careful, Daoist first... That guy has a lot of cyborgs in reserve, the spells are activated by contact, and..."

"Thank you for saving me and Mom! Really, really thank you!"

Junpei mustered up the courage to raise his head, but there was no one in front of him.

After hearing the other party's "no problem" answer, Nagasaki had already run back at full speed without hesitation.

On the other side, Yoshino House.

The overwhelming number of modified people were released by the real person in an instant.

From a rough look, there are at least [-] to [-] remodeled people whose human bodies have been distorted into this shape, and there are still quite a few of them who are huge. The road between the real person and the newly arrived reinforcements is tightly blocked. Reality.

Especially those reformed people who were not completely reformed and shed "sweat of the soul" were deliberately put at the forefront by the vile curse spirit.

.

When Kagezaki sent Junpei to a safe place, Kei, who summoned Uo through a summoning technique and sat on his father's arm, arrived at the scene as quickly as possible.

As for the real guy, the moment he was stared at by the white-haired curse spirit's cold and dangerous eyes of death, his hair immediately stood on end, he couldn't help recalling what he said, and then he instinctively released all his current reserves "Transformation of people".

——The curse spirit of a different kind, the curse spirit who stands in the human position, the curse spirit who loves human beings against the nature of the curse spirit... will naturally be touched by the help of human beings.

"help me……"

The reformer murmured like a babble, and the facial features that appeared abruptly on the distorted body, shed tears of pain and despair.

They are still alive, human beings—although their bodies have been distorted like this, they are not dead yet.

The road ahead, including the sky above, is tightly blocked by countless reformers. Even if you try hard, you will still be delayed for at least a second, not to mention that Uo, who has excellent dynamic vision and hearing, will be so shocked after seeing the tears of the reformers and asking for help. Inevitable heartaches and pauses.

Kill them—the idea didn't even occur to Uoyu.

After realizing that transforming people's lives still exists, the first reaction in his mind can only be "what can we do to save them."

Grasping this momentary gap, the blue-haired mantra changed his body state with a spell, and quickly fled from the drain on the street in a puddle of fluid.
