Curse of the Eye of the Dead

But completely stripping away the magic power... This is something that current technology cannot do.

Mantra is a natural and physiological phenomenon.

Even ordinary people will continuously produce mantra in their bodies.

The difference between an ordinary person and a conjurer—mainly is the amount of spell power, whether they can feel and use it, and prevent the spell power from spreading from the body to the outside world to form a curse.

If Uo is willing, he can theoretically kill the concept of mana in a human body, but this kind of abstract thing requires a certain amount of time to concentrate on extracting the concept of "death".

However, he cannot guarantee that there will be no side effects.

After all, this method of violently stripping away the magic power is basically equivalent to abolishing part of the normal physiological functions of the human body.

The functions of the human body are interlinked, and problems in one part will often affect the overall health.

The origin of the magic power has not yet been clearly answered.

How exactly the mantra was born, and to what extent the forcible stripping will have consequences, Uo does not know.

The effect of instant death is irreversible.

So no matter what he kills, Uo will be very cautious.

Facing Maki's request with unknown consequences, the first reaction of the black-skinned and white-haired tall curse spirit was to refuse.

——Strength is very important, but you must not blindly pursue strength and give up your health.

Having a healthy body is the basis for striving for ideals and the future.

In the last years of his life, Uo, who gradually lost his ability to move under the torture of illness and debility, and has been bedridden all the time, could not have a more profound understanding of this.

Therefore, he will never allow anyone to forcibly overdraw himself in pursuit of power.

Fortunately, Maki's situation is very unique.

Because she is a twin.

Twins are often identified as one person in the concept of spells, just like conjoined twins in the soul, and the power of each other will affect each other.As long as one is weak and doesn't want to become stronger, no matter how hard the other tries, the upper limit of power in the concept of spells will be lowered.

Simply put, Maki is burdened with the same type of heaven and curse as Shier.

She wasn't supposed to have spells by nature, yet her twin sister was unbound, possessed the lowest level of spells and spells.Therefore, the physical differences between the twins, and the fact that the twins are determined to be the same individual in the concept of spells caused a running bug.

Because of the existence of her twin sister, Maki retained her weak spell power accordingly.

As a result, the heaven and curse effects on the former were greatly weakened. *1

Maki, who was basically unable to use mana, probably didn't notice this.

However, the younger sister Zhenyi, who possesses the lowest level of magic power and spells, probably has already noticed it.

As long as the younger sister who is relatively weak and has no will to become stronger dies, the strength of the gifted older sister will reach its peak—this is a cruel and unfair fact. *2

Uo has seen similar situations before. After all, the magic world has a long history, and there are not a few families that have twins.

And the special feature of twins naturally makes it regarded as a bad omen in the magic world.

After understanding the situation, Usheng manipulated the bone family members who were patrolling the high school and covered with plush curse skeleton skins, and gave the other party such an answer.

Maki shook her head without hesitation, and then said decisively: "If you have to sacrifice Shinyi to gain power, then I don't want it."

The only family member that Maki recognizes is the twin sisters who grew up dependent on each other.

And the reason why she worked so hard to become stronger and compete for the position of the Patriarch of the Chanyuan Family is because she wanted to change the corrupt status quo of the Zenyuan Family and give her sister a free future.

Why should someone without the talent of a conjurer be considered a failure?

Since she was a child, Zhenyi was afraid of curse spirits and did not dare to approach them, and often hid behind her sister.

The kid had no particular interest in becoming a conjurer.

She just happened to be born in a Chanyuan family, and then had to face the absurd idea that conjurers are everything, and then forced herself to become a conjurer.

This is not true.

That's why Maki tried to change all of this, trying to become the head of the Chanyuan family.

She wants to tell her sister: It doesn't matter if you don't have the talent of a conjurer, and it's okay if you don't become a conjurer.

You have many different talents.

Not everyone is good at studying, not everyone has the talent for sports, and not everyone has the talent for drawing, singing and dancing.

There are so many possibilities for people, and there is more than one way to prove self-worth.

Why force yourself to get in touch with areas that you are not interested in because of other people's attitudes and opinions, and demean yourself because you don't have the talent in this area?

Maki embarked on this difficult and discriminated road for her sister who was influenced by decadent ideas and could not leave the Zenyuan home.

"If Zhenyi is no longer here, my goal of becoming the Patriarch of the Chanyuan Family is meaningless at all."

Maki said so, her eyes didn't waver in the slightest.

Just like the boy Uo who worked hard for his mother and wanted to change the entire magic world.

The fluffy little snow monster cursed and waved to Maki very pleased, and then touched the other's head when the other party squatted down.

Then it wrote its own method in the notebook.

It is not completely impossible to completely strip Maki's mana.

To be precise, it is precisely because of Maki's special situation that it is possible to completely strip away the mana.

Maki, who is burdened with the sky and the curse, is the magic power produced by the soul connection with the twin sister.

Then, as long as their twin sisters are divided into two people in the concept of spells and are no longer regarded as the same individual, this influence will be cut off. will also disappear.

To put it simply, it is like performing individual separation surgery on conjoined twins in reality, separating the part of Maki's soul that is connected to the twin sister.

And with Uosheng's ability, this is far simpler and safer than simply stripping off the individual's mana.

.

So Maki tried to spare some time, and went to Kitazawa's house with Kei and Knotweed on a certain weekend.

Countdown 35 days at 18:45.

Tokyo Station.

"Why did you come here too?"

Maki looked puzzled at Knotweed standing on the other side, carrying a big bag.

The conjurer often has to travel back and forth across the country. The knotweed that grew up in Sendai City has never been anywhere, so he often buys some special products to bring back after the mission is over. A present from everyone in the Sawa family.

Of course, Megumi's backpack also contained presents.

After hearing Maki's question, Knotweed, who had no sense of disobedience and was enthusiastically integrated into the returning team, let out a very dazed "Huh?"

Then he was silent for three seconds.

"Well... I usually form a team with Hui. If Hui doesn't have a job, I won't have a job either."

Knotweed scratched his head, and said: "And my only family member has passed away. It's too far to go back to Sendai from the high school. There is no one at home. It's meaningless to go back, so Mr. Uno often invites me to have dinner during vacations. Staying overnight, Hui will call me every time I go home, and then... get used to it?"

Hui shrugged and said succinctly: "Chacha quite likes this guy to play with her in the past. My sister and I don't care. If I go home alone one day, my sister will definitely have to ask why the knotweed didn't come back."

The word "back" reveals a different meaning.

Knotweed immediately showed a bright smile.

Like a happy golden retriever who has lost his home and found a place to return to, he said cheerfully with shining eyes: "Let me tell you, Maki-senpai, Hui's younger sister and older sister are very nice people, Chacha is very lively, and sister Tsumeiki is very friendly." Gentle, and Mr. Uno! Mr. Uno is the most reliable, and the food is super delicious—"

Maki An listened quietly, and her uneasy mood gradually relaxed under the happy words of this overly cheerful junior.

"I know, I've had it too," she said.

Knotweed: "Eh? Isn't it the first time for seniors to visit Kitazawa's house?"

Maki: "When you were not in school, Megumi was taken by us to have dinner together. At that time, he brought home-made bento..."

Hui Huanran: "Ah! That, although that is also delicious, but it's not the same... The last dinner was hot pot, and most of the food I brought was raw food, and the cooked ones were just appetizers, and only part of the main meal was cold. Basically it depends on the taste of the ingredients themselves, but if you go to my house to eat freshly cooked, the dishes are different..."

Polygonum cuspidatum nodded expectantly: "Potato stew, seafood curry, risotto..."

Maki: "Shut up! Seriously, I came here after running, and I'm going to tell you I'm hungry."

The three chatted all the way, took the Shinkansen, and soon arrived at Yokohama Station, which is very close, from Tokyo Station.

A period of walking followed, and the Kitazawa family's house soon appeared within sight.

"Sir! Chacha! Sister Tsumiki! We're back!"

Hu Zhang pressed the doorbell familiarly and shouted happily.

Soon there were footsteps in the house.

Hui ushered in the swoop of her younger sister.

Tsumiji also came out, and she raised a gentle smile: "Hui, Knotweed, welcome home... Chacha, Chacha! Pay attention to your skirt!"

As the elder sister, Tsumiki raised her voice, shouted disapprovingly at Chacha who threw herself on Kei, and met Maki who was at the back.

Tsumiji coughed and smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, I made you laugh, are you today's guest? Welcome, please come in."

Maki was inexplicably embarrassed, she opened her eyes without blinking, then agreed a few words vaguely, and then carefully stepped into a family that was quite unfamiliar to her.

.

As soon as the knotweed came in, he ran into the kitchen with Chacha Qiqi and his two dogs.

They surrounded the adults, chatting non-stop.

At first it was talking with Uo, and later it was talking between the two:

Knotweed: "Sir, I'm back! It smells so good, what are you eating today? Do you want my help?"

Chacha: "Dad! Look, look, Brother Hui's Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai have grown a lot bigger! They are so fluffy and easy to touch."

Knotweed: "Sir, I went to Kyoto on a mission last time, and I bought you a box of Sencha."

Chacha: "Ah, Brother Huzhang bought me the latest game, let's play together after dinner, the person who decides to do the dishes by the game—"

Thinking of what game he bought for Chacha, Hu Zhang turned pale with fright: "Wow, is the fighting game I bought to decide the outcome?"

Chacha raised a self-evident smile.

Knotweed, who has suffered a lot in fighting games and often loses miserably, put on a shouting face.

Uno turned his head helplessly and looked at the two people standing behind him, one on the left and one on the right.

He looked at the progress of the stew, then washed and dried his hands, and then patted the head of the knotweed, "You have worked hard, so you should take a good rest when you come back."

Knotweed immediately cheered up, raised his eyebrows and nodded.

Uo then went out to see Kei.

He touched his adopted son's head, and said a few words of gentle concern.

Then, the wide-shouldered, narrow-waisted, tall, and seemingly unfriendly mantra walked in with a rabbit-patterned apron (bought by Chacha) that hadn't been untied around his waist. In front of Maki.

"Please treat this as your own home, don't be nervous."

Uo, who often manipulates the mansion at the high school to patrol, and has a lot of contact with the students of the high school, has a very natural attitude towards Maki.

He looked at the girl who seemed to be still a little uncomfortable because of his identity as a curse spirit, kept a distance considerately, and then said gently: "Please ask me, I will help you look at it later, now I have to Go look at the kitchen, if you don't mind, please stay and have a meal first, dinner will be ready in about ten minutes."

"Thank you..." Maki exhaled, calmed down, and then changed back to that confident and sassy conjurer: "Then excuse me."
