Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Uo was squatting on the upper floors of the building in the darkness of night.

Bone spurs kept popping out of the skin of his upper body, and as soon as the bone spurs came into contact with the air, they turned into bony insects, spread their wings, flew high into the sky, and burrowed into the underground waterway.

And the sharp and dangerous bone spurs that kept coming out naturally pierced the ordinary shirt he was wearing on the Rakuten online shopping.

Therefore, Uo is now bare-chested, revealing dark muscles that are strong and undulating like a breathing mountain, and the dark red spell lines all over it.

—— On the front, the curse lines are mainly distributed on both sides of the chest, arms and shark muscles; on the back, covered by long fluffy white hair, from the neck down, there is a semi-closed shape like a sun wheel Ancient characters of unknown interpretation carved in circles and in the direction of the cross through the sun disc. *1

The color of the curse pattern is very dull.

Like coagulated blood.

……

After giving the reformed people eternal sleep, the depressed Uzo lowered his eyelids. He did not return to Yokohama Kitazawa's house immediately, but continued to search in Kawasaki City.

Kawasaki City is very small.

The distance from Kawasaki Station to Yokohama Station in less than 10 minutes is enough to prove this point.

But I can't bear it. It is one of the famous industrial cities in Japan, and it is also one of the cities designated by the government decree. It has all internal organs and complete infrastructure.

Of course, the underground drainage network is also quite intricate.

The real person escaped from the underground waterway, liquefied himself into it, and even lurked in the depths of the water to speed up the lane change... The possibility of finding the other party before he left Kawasaki City is almost zero.

However, this does not mean that Uosheng will give up easily and go back home.

When the real person fled and blocked the way with a reformed person, Uso subconsciously released his own family members.

Several bone family members the size of insects circled around from a high altitude, and chased after the drain where the real person escaped. However, because the quickly created bone family members were weak, they were easily destroyed by the real person who had expected it.

Zhenren had previously explored the bone family member that protected the knotweed.

Unable to perceive the soul of the bone family, he had long guessed that there was another person in the body of the bone family, and the appearance of Uo also made him realize the identity of the manipulator behind the bone family.

...The consciousness is very sharp, and it seems that he is very guarded against Uo.

This is not good news for Uogi.

The bone family members who played the vanguard were destroyed, and it was difficult to continue chasing afterward.

But the possibility is almost zero... There is still a small probability that it can be found.

The incident took place in the center of Kawasaki. Unless it was teleportation, it would take a while to leave the city.

And Uogi made the last effort during this period.

But because there are too many and the time is urgent, Uo has no time to wipe out the breath of all bone insects. Considering that the maximum strength of the bone family is only one level, the probability of being destroyed by a real person who is a super magic spirit is almost 100%. The powerful bone dependents cannot be produced in large quantities in a short period of time... so Uogi abandoned the strength of the dependents.

Then choose another channel to weaken them as much as possible, making their breath closer to the low-level natural curses that often appear in the environment, so as to achieve an inconspicuous effect.

However, the maximum number of bone dependents is only more than 500 at most.

More bone dependents... can't be added anymore.

It's not that it can't be made, if it's just made, it can keep increasing until the mantra is exhausted.

The problem now is - the Bone Kin who are searching a city moves too far between each other.

The bone family itself has no soul and personal consciousness, and usually acts according to the pre-set, or is controlled by the unborn consciousness. When being manipulated, it will simultaneously reflect a part of the main body's emotions-this kind of emotion is the feedback of the main body, not the bone family generated by itself.

So this also causes a problem.

If a large number of bone family members are connected at the same time, and the information between them does not overlap, they are all independent and brand-new——As a data processing center, Ubu will be unable to bear the strike due to excessive load.

He doesn't have the "six eyes" like Gojo Satoru, and he can't handle too much information at the same time.

Excessive processing of information at the same time will bring too heavy a burden on Uo's brain, and a splitting headache is the most basic symptom - analyzing and processing the vision of 530 bone dependents at the same time is Uo's ability to preserve and protect himself The upper limit of ability.

No matter how small Kawasaki City is, it has hundreds of square kilometers, and it is also close to the sea—because of the limited number of bone family members, Uo has formulated a series of sequences: first block the sea area, and then force it from the most likely entrances and exits.

However, after a tedious search layer by layer and time passing by, the target was found after a long time.

Just when Uoyu was enduring a severe headache and was unwilling to be discouraged——

A bone insect near the Kawasaki Expressway entrance was suddenly caught.

Ok?

The headache caused by the long-term high load made him dizzy, and Uohito covered half of his face with one hand, and he was stunned for a full second before he suddenly opened his eyes wide as he focused all his attention on the real person.

"Good evening, Tsurumi Uo."

The "man" with the very familiar face on his face and the suture line running across his forehead slowly carried the weak bone relative, smiled at him, and said in a brisk voice: "Long time no see, how have you been recently?" Woolen cloth?"

Uno couldn't help murmuring: "How is it possible...!"

That was Xia Youjie.

To be precise, it was Xia Youjie's body.

The super curse master obviously died in last year's "Hundred Ghost Night Walk" incident, the body has indeed been cremated, Wu also buried his ashes in the mountains.

Uosheng stared solemnly at the transverse stitching line on "Xia Youjie"'s forehead through the vision of his family members.

Why... would it be parasitic?

For some reason, the despicable parasite that took the initiative to expose under the eyes of Uogi smiled and said to himself: "...Well, it seems to be quite happy, right? Oh, that's really great."

"Mrs. Sachiko should also be pleased with your current happiness. After all, she loves you so much... Even when she died, she loved you. Forgetting everything and starting over is indeed an optimistic choice."

What a nice thing to say.

However, Uno suddenly held his breath, his pupils constricted.

"The remains of dead bodies all over the place."

"The fearful eyes of the survivors."

"Brilliant crimson."

"A body that has lost its temperature in my arms."

as well as--

"Usu, why did you kill me? ""*2

The unbelievable and sad question of the always gentle woman once again echoed in the mind of the mantra.

All of this...how could he forget it?

The contradiction between happiness and self-loathing erupted in an instant, and the mantra with a ferocious expression roared hoarsely:

"You bastard, what the hell—!?"

The bone family can't transmit the voice of the main body.

"Xia Youjie"...or in other words, he didn't expect to hear the other party's answer.

He just smiled, looking at the emotions of the main body immediately reflected by the bones, his eyes flashed with a flash of clarity.

Then, Ronso acted like "I just passed by and saw an acquaintance, so I came to say hello", and easily destroyed the bone relative.

By the time Uosheng arrived there, Kuso had already disappeared.

.

Uno was once puzzled: why did the real guy choose to run away without hesitation after seeing him, and even accurately grasped his own weakness, blocking the way with a modified person.

As if someone had told him about me.

Now he has an answer.

.

Yoshino Junpei's mother was fine.

Although the wound was a bit deep and infected with the curse, fortunately, it was transferred in time and treated properly, so there were no sequelae left, and he recovered smoothly in the end.

But even so, she was still in a coma for three days before waking up.

Junpei, who was always by his mother's side, showed a joyful expression almost instantly.

"mom!"

The boy hugged each other tightly, tears could not stop falling.

Nagi Yoshino was stunned, and unconsciously saw several cigarette burns under his child's long bangs that he had tried his best to hide.

……

This is probably the long-lost face-to-face and frank communication between Yoshinoya's mother and son.

The fact that Yoshino Junpei was bullied was finally known by his mother.

Nagi Yoshino vaguely guessed that her child seemed to be isolated... but never thought it was such a serious situation.

Her expression turned slightly angry.

On the contrary, Junpei grabbed the opponent's hand and comforted him with a smile.

"Mom, I have something important to discuss with you."

.

The existence of the curse broke Yoshinoya's cognition.

From the conclusion, Yoshino Junpei, who survived the ordeal, changed his physique by a blessing in disguise, awakened the hidden magic formula, and had the possibility of becoming a conjurer.

Junpei said with some anxiety, "I want to transfer to another school and learn how to become a conjurer."

Yoshino Nagi has experienced the curse incident, so the explanation for her children is well received.

Even when he heard this, he didn't immediately object, but seriously asked for his opinion.

"Junpei, have you decided yet?"

Nagi Yoshino did not object immediately, but asked seriously.

"Yes, I have seriously considered it."

"That's dangerous work."

"I know, but Mom, I want power."

Junpei pursed his lips and said loudly:

"Mom is very important. After going through that kind of thing and knowing the existence and danger of the curse, I can no longer be that shrinking bird, but I am too weak, too weak, both physically and mentally weak It's a mess, that's why I'm constantly being bullied and can't do anything about it, and that's why my mom can't do anything when she's being attacked...I don't want to do this again."

He yearned for the bond and strength between Knotabagi, Nagasaki and Megumin, and yearned for Nagasaki's freedom and firmness.

Wanting to blend in with them, wanting to leave that weak and messy self in the past—so after being confirmed as talented, Junpei did not immediately refuse the invitation of the assistant supervisor.

The will and drive to change, he didn't want to miss.

and……

"Mom, I also have spells, so I want to learn how to control my power. I hope to protect you in the future, so that you won't be the same as that day... you can't do anything."

Yoshino Nagi looked at the expression on her child.

To be honest, it's been a long time since she saw Junpei's shining gaze.

There are many possibilities in life. Nagi Yoshino never restricts the development of his own children. School is just a small fish tank. Sooner or later, Junpei, a young fish, will grow up and go to a wider ocean——Nagi Yoshino has always thought so .

But... ah, the "ocean" that this child went to is a bit too wonderful.

"I really can't help you."

Nagi Yoshino stretched out his hand and rubbed Junpei's cheek, "If you have already made up your mind, then go ahead... No matter what, I will support you."

Junpei froze for a moment, then smiled shyly.

.

three days later.

Yoshino Junpei took his luggage and walked towards the station in a restrained manner.

He arrived at Tokyo Station all the way from Kawasaki Station, and just after he got out of the station, he heard the sound of energetic calls.

"Junpei—this way!"

Knotweed smiled and beckoned, beside him, Megumi with black hair and green eyes and wild rose Kizaki with short brown hair also looked over.

Junpei quickly trotted over.

"Great, Junping has also joined in, so there are four of us in the first grade!" Knotweed said enthusiastically, "In this way, next time we train with the seniors in the second grade, we can play four against four!"

Junpei: "Four against four?"

"It's just some training, it doesn't matter, we will introduce you later." Knotweed's eyes curled up, and then he stretched out his hand in a friendly way, "Then, please give me your advice, I'm Knotweed Yuren!"

"Megumi Kitazawa." Hui briefly introduced, and then continued: "I am also a shikigami. Although the effects of the spells are different, there are still some general suggestions. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Nagasaki Wild Rose looked up and down at her new companion: "...you shouldn't be the type to cry every now and then, right? Well...although it looks weak, but it will explode for the sake of important people, and the guy with a huge difference in strength You have the backbone to launch an attack, very good, I approve of you for the time being."

She nodded earnestly.

Just as Junpei smiled, Nagasaki suddenly pulled him aside, and asked with a dangerous look: "Hey, kid, I'm asking you something, when I lent you my phone to contact the assistant supervisor, you didn't look at my phone something in it?"

His expression was gloomy, and it was likely that Junpei would kill him as soon as he nodded.

The curse high-tech man shook his head frantically.

Nagasaki Wild Rose let go of her hand.

Then, with one hand on his hips as if nothing had happened, he walked to the middle with the attitude of a big sister, and then commanded vigorously: "Then, the first-year four-person group of the Tokyo Conjuration High School...returned! Speaking of...uh, hello , Knotweed, what are you going to do later?"

"Don't you know how to pose at the C position!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Of course the C position is up for grabs!"

Nagizaki and Knotabajo were noisy again, and the reliable minor Megumi Kitazawa sighed helplessly, once again shouldering the heavy responsibility of bringing in new classmates.

The black-haired and green-eyed boy briefly explained the itinerary for the meeting, then turned to look at the other two companions, and added with an expression that couldn't bear to look directly: "Sorry, I made you laugh... Although the two of them don't know each other very well. It is not tuned, but it is quite reliable at critical moments.”

Junpei looked at them, and laughed from the bottom of his heart after a while.

"Yes, I know, then, please teach me more in the future!"

The author has something to say:

*1 Uno's curse pattern, mentioned in Chapter 45.

*2 Echoes in the brain, mentioned in Chapter 90.

After struggling for a long time with Junpei, I finally decided to realize the epic fraud OP scene in the original anime——turning Junpei in uniform and standing with everyone into reality.

Unfortunately, I always thought that Junpei would join the high school!
