Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Only a few people know that the fingers of the two-faced Su Nuo were not lost but were smuggled away by Wujo Wu. loss".

Some necessary procedures had to be handled, and a report to the high-level had to be written—Gojo Satoru was reluctantly busy with this some time ago.

However, the second half of the exchange meeting that was forced to be suspended a few days ago was successfully completed after the break.

Of course, it was not the regular personal battle over the years, but was changed to a baseball game by Wujo Satoru.

Tsurumi Toranojiro, who finally came here once, after the meeting ended and learned that the exchange meeting would continue, immediately poked his head furtively for a long time, and finally put on a rather majestic and unfriendly face, using the words "leadership inspection" Attitude blends in smoothly.

He sat down with the headmaster of the Kyoto school, one of the representatives of the diehards, to watch the battle.

The principal of the Kyoto school, who knew Torajiro's identity to some extent, talked with him very solemnly.

It's just that he didn't know——under the seemingly calm and thoughtful expression of the gray-haired Torajiro, he was cheering for the opposite school happily and extremely OOC.

To be precise, it was cheering for the opposite competitor, Kitazawa Megumi.

Tsurumi Toranojiro, who lived to the age of 80 without getting married and having no direct descendants, loved the house very much and regarded Uo's adopted son and daughter as his own descendants.

If he hadn't wanted to consider the overall situation and maintain his image in the eyes of outsiders, he would probably show a very kind smile now, and then cheer up and shout happily with the old urchin's temper.

However, the environment limited his performance.

...and successfully saved Kei's shame.

Megumi Kitazawa, who had no idea that she had escaped, paid a sneaky visit to Toranojiro after the game was completely over.

He has important things to confirm with the other party.

Toranojiro is the only person who can give Kei a direct answer, other than Uo himself.

……

Torajiro, who was originally very happy and very kind, welcomed Hui into the house, after patiently listening to the boy's visit intention and statement, his smile suddenly disappeared.

"What did you say?"

The white-haired old man's eyes widened in disbelief, his expression trembling slightly.

He murmured and repeated Hui's words, and then his eyes cracked.

"Black waist-length hair, purple and white kimono with a hundred patterns, and crane-patterned feathers that reach down to the calf..." The old man said hoarsely, "Mrs. Sachiko was wearing that suit when she died!"

This answer was even worse than Hui had imagined.

Toranojiro was so angry that he trembled and asked: "That super magic spirit that manipulates plants really summoned a doll that looks exactly like Mrs. Sachiko as a shield? Brother Uo, he accidentally destroyed that... fake Mrs. Sachiko?"

Hui nodded silently.

"...how did you destroy it?"

"I pierced my chest with my hand."

Toranojiro closed his eyes abruptly, and let out an old man's deep and extremely painful cry.

Hui's heart sank a little.

After a while, Toranojiro asked back: "Mei, did that curse spirit do anything else when it summoned the puppet?"

"I am not very sure."

Hui frowned and said, then shook his head: "The moment the doll appeared, it blocked the curse spirit right in front of it. I just vaguely saw him take out something, and then... Then Dad froze, And the curse spirit turned around and fled after a few seconds.

Although he was finally chased and wiped out by his father, his expression was so bad for a long time... Moreover, the guy who can accurately grasp his father's weakness is definitely a long-planned person who knows his father's past very well. Worry about that, that puppet... I don't think it's just a shield. "

Toranojiro said nothing.

In fact, after he heard that the puppet looked exactly like Mrs. Sachiko, he had a premonition of being calculated.

Unfortunately, they didn't know what the other party was doing with that puppet.

He told Kei the same, and Kei fell silent.

Afterwards, the black-haired and green-eyed boy continued to ask: "Grandpa, I know you can't take the initiative to say anything to me, so please allow me to ask, I have one thing to confirm... If I guess right, You don't have to answer me."

Toranojiro didn't refute, just looked at him.

The clever boy took a deep breath, and then asked in a low voice, "It was Dad who killed Grandma Sachiko, right?"

This is something Uoyu tried his best to hide.

Only this matter, Uno never wanted his children to know.

However, paper cannot contain fire after all.

The grown-up children want to know the past of their father's suffering and save him from suffering, so they will inevitably touch the truth under various clues.

"..." Toranojiro didn't say anything.

He just slowly covered his face with one hand, silently affirming it.

After a long time.

Toranojiro replied slowly, "Uncle Uno really loves his mother. When he was alive, his original intention to change the magic world was to give Mrs. Sachiko a free and better world."

"Yeah." Hui nodded.

"The same goes for Mrs. Sachiko. In the environment of the Tsurumi family, she has been doing her best to give Uo a warm home and a normal childhood... They have always regarded each other as their anchors, you know? In the environment of the conjurer's family, there are only a few families with normal family ties. At that time, there were many children who were envious of Brother Uo."

"Ah."

"so--"

Toranojiro opened his mouth and uttered two passionate words, and then the second half of the sentence was blocked in his throat and he couldn't speak.

That's not what Uzumaki wants to do.

That's not what Mrs. Sachiko wants to do either.

"Why did it become like this?" Toranojiro murmured incomprehensibly.

Kei lowered her eyes, and probably knew why Uo hated curses so much, even herself.

He also probably knew what Wujo Satoru had discovered and concealed from him when he was investigating the mantra, and what it was about.

The red spell on Dad's back, the spell related to Mrs. Sachiko... hides the truth and cruelty.

"Why does that curse spirit have a doll that looks exactly like Grandma Sachiko and was dressed before she died?"

After a long time, Hui asked the main point of his trip: "Is Dad being targeted? Is the murderer behind the scenes someone who has experienced the events of the past? Does the other party's target include Dad?"

Toranojiro was silent, then sighed.

"According to the current clues and theories, this is indeed the case." Toranojiro muttered in confusion, and under the persistent gaze of the young man, he revealed some details: "The target of the other party may also include Gojo Satoru."

"...why didn't you tell us?"

The matter of the mastermind behind the scenes, the matter that Uo and Gojo Satoru were suspected of being targeted, these adults all kept it secret from these underage children.

Tiger Jiro: "Adults have adult considerations, they probably don't want to worry you."

"But I became a conjurer just to help."

"You are too young."

"I'm already 15!"

"15 years old, it's really an age that I miss. At that time, Uno and I had the same thoughts as you."

As Toranojiro said, his cloudy eyes gradually moved away, and he seemed to see himself and his partner in fresh clothes and angry horses.

Then he came back to his senses and showed a gentle expression: "But things are not like this. When you become a grandfather like me, you will understand our sense of responsibility as adults. 15 years old... Although you think you have grown up , but you are actually still a child, and we will let you try what you can, but we will not hand you a crisis that does not belong to you.

Don't be so anxious, Hui, don't deny the fact that you are a child, it is not a bad thing, nor is it a negation of you, you just have time and space to grow... to take on too heavy things at this time , but will overwhelm you. "

Toranojiro seemed to have thought of something, and said relaxedly as if intending to ease the atmosphere: "Although with Brother Uno's personality, you are probably the children he wants to protect even if you are 50 years old."

Hui pursed his lips.

He's been restless lately.

Time... yes, what he needs most is time.

Able to continue spending time with my father.

Time to grow up and be on your own.

To be able to find the time to lift the curse on Dad.

Hui Xiang, who became a conjurer for this reason: I should still have some time for this, right?

The inexplicable uneasiness should be just an illusion, right?

.

Only Kei and Toranojiro knew about the conversation that day.

after that.

Kei found Gojo Satoru.

"Teacher, have you investigated the information about the spell on Dad's back?" Hui said calmly, "Please tell me."

After knowing what happened between Sachiko and Uo, Kei Ruyuan got the ancient book that Gojo Satoru first found, like a ghost novel, and saw the story written on it.

Then, I also naturally saw the definition of those scarlet spells on Usheng's back in the ancient books.

[This is the incarnation of the curse of resentment for the woman killed by the atrocities, and it is an omen of death that will eventually be met with an eye for an eye. ]

Hui continued to read without changing his face.

The curse girl, or the daughter of the curse.

This is another name for Sachiko and Chacha's special physique.

It should be said that this is the most correct title.

——Born with a huge but unusable spell power, it has the power to curse something regardless of the level defense 100% once it breaks through the limit.

This is the essence of the curse girl, and it is almost the same level of ability as Uo's "instant death technique".

"Teacher Wutiao, I remember you said...you have some guesses that aren't bad."

Gojo Satoru replied, "That's something that has not been proven."

"Is it related to breaking the curse?"

Gojo Satoru had a complicated face: "No, it's just some extra guesses about the meaning of the spell, but it hasn't been confirmed yet, and the solution... sorry, I haven't been able to find it yet."

"Curse girl... I remember that Chacha also has this physique." Hui asked with a glimmer of hope.

However, in exchange for Gojo Satoru's negation.

Indeed, the curse girl has the power to curse something regardless of the level defense 100% once the limit is broken.

But...how to break through this limitation is the biggest problem.

Chacha has been unable to use mana so far.

She didn't know anything about it, she was born with a neurological disorder like a painless disease, and she couldn't understand and perceive the existence of mantra at all.

Gojo Satoru said, "I haven't found even one case where the curse of the cursed girl was lifted, and..."

The white-haired conjurer didn't know how to speak.

He deliberated for a while before slowly saying: "Moreover, all the cursed girls broke through the limit after experiencing intense pain before they died, and cursed the things that made them painful once in their lives."

Hui suddenly widened his eyes and was speechless.

It was silent for a long time.

"...It's okay, I will continue to find new ways." The black-haired and green-eyed boy looked away and said, "Thank you, teacher."

.

Afterwards, Hui's life temporarily returned to its original peaceful daily life.

Countdown to 49 days of peaceful daily life.

.

The shell of Uo's curse skeleton was repaired again by Principal Noctua, and not long after, "Mr. U", the bone family member in charge of patrolling the high school, returned.

Maki looked at Mr. Mao, who had already come into contact with this secret, and she officially learned the other party's identity from Megumi and Gojo Satoru.

Maki also belatedly understood the reason why Mr. Mao refused to be hugged by girls, and always liked to take care of minors and looked like an old father.

Maki, who was also taken care of a lot before, transferred her impression of Mr. U to the body of U, and suddenly felt complicated.

Father's love - she has never felt it at all.

Because her father never saw her and her sister in the eye.

Just because Maki couldn't see the magic spirit, and her sister's magic power was extremely low, her biological father completely denied the value of existence.

Not all parents love their children.

"Having a father...is this what it feels like?"

Maki, who successfully gained the advantage in the hands of Fuheshier and made a breakthrough, lowered her head while muttering.

She looked at the candy in her hand that was happily stuffed by Mr. Mao who passed by, recalled the happy applause of the other party after seeing it, and felt the soft touch still left on the top of her head. She didn't know what to say for a while.

Originally, Maki had been treated like this several times, but she had always regarded it as a gentle, polite, measured and interesting behavior of the newly born curse.

And after learning the truth, this kind of behavior was inevitably transferred by Maki to that tall, mature and steady gentleman.

Feeling a subtle change.

No one doesn't like to be praised.

Not to mention the recognition, encouragement and praise from parents and elders.

.

Countdown 41 days at 11:23.

As one of the typical victims of persecution by the decadent magic world system, Maki, who is a staunch five-article faction and reformist, began to gradually come into contact with the other side after seeing Uogi with her own eyes.

When she was chatting with Hui and Knotweed, she learned that the latter used the two-faced Su Nuo's fingers as an upgrade experience.

Surprises are surprises, but what Maki cares more about after returning home is Uo's ability.

Countdown 40 days at 01:56.

"Hey, Megumi." Maki found her junior and nephew, and poked him on the back quietly.

"Yes?"

"Can you ask me a question? It's—"

Maki said in a low voice: "Your father, is there a way to erase all the remaining magic power of me? It's like completely solving the soul fragments of the two-faced Su Nuo..."

Zenyuan Maki has a similar physique to Fuheshier, and bears similar heaven and curses.

The only difference is that Fuheshier has completely zero magic power, in exchange for a special body that is the strongest in human beings and can even see the magic spirit with pure naked eyes.

And Maki, who still has a weak mantra that is not as good as ordinary people, although her physical strength is more and more superior to most people, she has never been able to reach Shier's level.

Because she has the power of the spell, the strength of the sky and the spell on her back is far inferior to that of Shire.

The sky and the curse are an exchange of equal value.

—The more that is lost by nature, the more that is made up on the other hand.

Therefore, after seeing Shier's power, Maki secretly changed her thinking about becoming stronger, and began to look for a way to completely strip her mana power - anyway, her 01:30 mana power was useless at all.

It's just that she hasn't been successful.

Because just sealing the spell power is not enough.

If Maki wants to perfect the heaven and curse in her body, she must completely remove the curse from the source.

And Maki, who has no idea for a long time, after seeing the new possibility, hesitates to turn to Mr. Cursing Spirit whom he has just known for less than a month.

——Through the recommendation of Kitazawa Megumi, a junior who is more familiar with her.
