Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Today is the weekend.

It was still a rare day for Hui and Polygonum cuspidatum to go home and relax.

This group of children had a great time playing, and the joy in their eyebrows almost never stopped-as an elder, Uosu was naturally happy to see it.

But as the sky got later and later, Uogi's gentle expression could not help but gradually become overly hesitant.

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit sat cross-legged on the ground, the bony tail hanging behind him unconsciously shaking.He tilted his head and looked at this group of minors who seemed completely unaware of the time and sleepy. They played the game thoroughly and tried to turn it into an all-night party, and told them to "stop playing and rest early". Countless times, and turned it in the throat several times, and finally swallowed it with difficulty.

It is very difficult for a conjurer to have a chance to go home and relax.

And Chacha and Tsumiki haven't seen Hui for a long time.

If possible, Uno didn't want to be the one to disturb the atmosphere.

...But as a mature, reliable and responsible old father, he can't watch the minors stay up all night.

So after pondering for a while, he decided to save the country with a curve.

Uno: "Would you like some supper?"

Lying lazily on Uso's lap, the white dog, as if dozing off, was the first to prick up its ears.

"Wang!"

Gouzi answered loudly, then stood up with a swish, wagging his tail happily, and kept rubbing his head against the curse spirit.

The white dog has always been more childish than the black dog on weekdays, loves to eat, play and act like a baby.

In the face of Mr. Curse Spirit who often feeds them, Xiaobai fully played the role of "the one who is loved has nothing to fear"-it frantically circled Usheng, and then bit the corner of the Curse Spirit very greedily and impatiently, Drag each other to the kitchen.

The movements are so proficient that you can tell that you are a habitual offender.

Uno, who was pulled back slightly, pressed the white dog's head helplessly, telling him to wait patiently.

Xiaobai clasped his palm hard: err.

In the end, the more stable black dog stepped forward helplessly, and gave Shame... ah no, it was the dog's partner who lost his paw.

"Supper? Hey, is it already this time?" Chacha glanced at the clock, her eyes widened suddenly, and then...she turned her head to look at Uosheng without hesitation: "I want to eat!"

Fifteen or sixteen years old, still in the growth period with an excellent appetite.

The quiet Tsumiki has a relatively small appetite, but Chacha, who often follows the detective agency and has a lot of exercise, gets very hungry very quickly.Not to mention the other little conjurers who consume more daily.

Uogi thought about the remaining materials in the kitchen: "I still have the thick soup jelly I made before, can I use the noodle soup? Raise your hand if you want it, and I will prepare it. Before that, you should go take a bath first."

Except Tsumiki, everyone raised their hands and signed up.

Tsumiji looked at the time, and when she realized the time, she suddenly felt sleepy.She shook her head and said, "I won't eat. After taking a shower, I went straight to bed."

Uno recorded the number of people, stood up, and then remembered something, "By the way, Maki is staying here tonight? After all, it's too late to go back, um... Chacha, you are about the same height as Maki, can you borrow a set of pajamas Give it to her? Then take her to the guest room, and let her live in the guest room Yin usually lives in."

"no problem!"

Chacha volunteered to pat her chest and said resolutely, then dragged Maki to run to the second floor.

There are two bathrooms in the house, Tsumiji went to take a shower first, and the other one was given to Maki, followed by Chacha.

Lady first.

By default, Hui and Hu Zhang, who were the last two to take a bath, looked at each other, and then began to guess who would be the first.

Hui's face was expressionless: "Two out of three rounds."

Knotweed: "Eh? Isn't the outcome determined in one game?"

Hui looked at his negative equity figures when playing Monopoly, and said firmly: "Two wins in three games."

Uo, followed by two jade dogs, walked into the kitchen, and exhaled, delighted in his own wit.

Well, just remind the time quietly like this, eat something and take a rest, they will almost be sleepy, and then they will go to have a good rest.

.

After taking a shower, Maki realized that she was here to solve the problem of spell power, not to play.

"Ju, I actually forgot!"

She murmured in shock, wondering if this family had any miraculous abilities, such as the kind that could eliminate all troubles...

Of course Uno didn't forget.

It's just that Maki was having fun before, and it was rare for him to let go of the nervous and dignified expression he had when he first arrived here, so he didn't mention this matter immediately - anyway, he can deal with it at any time, and he is not in a hurry.

So when Maki finally remembered the business and hurried to find him, he nodded very simply.

"Let me tell you in advance that my ability works in a special way."

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit patiently explained the effect of the magic eye, and then said cautiously: "...It is different from the situation of the two independent souls in Youren, which involves the analysis and separation of individual souls. The concept is very difficult to grasp, and it takes me a while to distinguish it. In addition, your physical skills and reaction nerves are very good, so please be sure to control your instincts and do not dodge. The longer I observe and understand, the more dead I see. The more threads and points of death there are, it will be troublesome if you accidentally stab it elsewhere. Things "killed" by my spell are irreversible. "

Maki nodded cautiously.

"But there's no need to be nervous, it's just a matter of a moment." And the possibility of him accidentally stabbing the wrong place is almost non-existent, this statement is just for the sake of conservatism.

After all, Uo never ignores Maki's efforts, she is strong, there is no doubt about it.

Uno said, and then opened his magic eye in the blink of an eye.

The blue eyes that flowed with iridescent light carried an abyss-like extreme attraction. When people with high inspiration were stared at, they would even inevitably have a premonition of imminent death.

The soul is penetrated and analyzed, and no matter how far apart they are, the chain that connects the twins will gradually show its true form under the magic eyes.

"If the connection is cut off, will the relationship between me and Zhenyi change?" Maki asked suddenly: "It's different from me who has no magic power and can't detect the connection, Zhenyi should be able to react immediately, right? "

"I'm not a twin, so I don't understand it very well, but... I have heard that there is a special connection between twins, which is probably a kind of soul connection, so after cutting off, the child may feel a little lonely Bar."

"I don't want to make her sad." Maki was silent for a while, "But I have to."

In the magical world where spells are paramount and in the cold Buddhist monastery, as an alien and unaccepted, if she wants to change something, she must have a powerful power that can break the corruption.

However, her current strength is far from enough, and she is almost vulnerable to the elders and head of the Shangchanyuan family.

What's worse is that she has almost reached the upper limit of her current talent.

The word talent is too cruel.

However, it is the most realistic limitation.

Dreams and ideals cannot be realized with words.

A person's life is always full of various losses and gains.

but……

Fortunately, this is not something irreparable.

The sharp bone spur pierced through the girl's body, and the point of death that was stabbed suddenly shattered, and the chain that closely linked the souls of the twins suddenly collapsed.

Maki opened her eyes, and she felt that the thin magic power in her body had completely dissipated, and her body began to return to the strength it should have been born to because of the strengthening of the sky and the curse.

Then, she exhaled slowly

"Then let's communicate. Humans have such a rich language, it must exist for communication." Uosu retracted the bone spur, raised his hand and patted Maki on the head, and answered Maki's previous words by speaking like this.

"Losing contact can make the other person feel uneasy, so you have to go the extra mile to tell her what's on your mind and reassure her."

What you want to do, what you plan to do, and why... you have to say it.

If you don't say it, the other party won't understand and won't let go.

"I know." Maki, who kept clenching and stretching her fists, raised her head with a sassy smile when she heard the words: "After seeing you, I understand."

A happy family does not necessarily require blood ties. Brothers and sisters can communicate with each other without blood ties.

The soul connection and the blood connection are not everything in the relationship between the twins.

Understanding and communication is.

And less than a minute later, Zhenyi called in a hurry—it was for Maki.

Because the contact was broken suddenly, she was worried about her sister's death, and she contacted the other party proactively and anxiously for the first time since Maki left the Zenyuan home.

Maki and Maki told what happened.

Then, without waiting for Zhenyi to say anything, she proceeded to make her promise calmly and firmly.

I want to change the Chanyuan family and give you a shelter, so please be patient and wait for a while.

That day will certainly not be too long.

Zhenyi, who was still a little angry and unwilling to hang up the phone angrily, fell silent.

Zhenyi doesn't want to become stronger at all.

She doesn't have the will to become stronger like Maki. If it wasn't for Maki's insistence on becoming a magician, Shinyi would probably still be at the mercy of others at the Chanyuan's house and would not follow her to the Kyoto school.

She also said so at this rare moment of candid communication between the sisters.

"It's okay, I know, it's not your fault."

Maki said: "It doesn't matter if you don't become stronger, after all, you don't like being a magician at all, and you don't like fighting at all, so—"

"I will definitely give you a chance to choose your own future."

If you don't come from a family of conjurers, you will become a conjurer.

And I, who has the will and strength to become a magician, will break out a path full of possibilities and hopes for Zhenyi...and more children like Zhenyi.

.

Countdown 20 days at 11:56.

Uo returned to Tsurumi's house late one night.

To be precise, he returned to the forbidden area behind Tsurumi's house.

He is very familiar with the way of Tsurumi's house.

After all, for the traditional family in the world of conjuration, the internal structure of the house is the same as the rules they stick to, and there will not be much change for dozens or hundreds of years.And Uo had lived in the Tsurumi family for more than ten years as the young master.

And in the deepest part of the forbidden area of ​​Houshan, the dilapidated house covered with dense spell charms and tied with dense ropes and bells like spider webs, just like before Uo left.

Uo went in, and under the still lush tree, he found the tombstone where the bones of his mother Sachiko were buried.

Sachiko's tomb is very clean, without dust, and there is even a bunch of small flowers that have not completely died in front of the tomb.

——Because Toranojiro, who let go of his heart, often replaces Uo to visit Mrs. Sachiko's grave.

"Brother Maosheng." Inside the house, the white-haired old man slowly came out and shouted at the curse spirit.

Uno looked over, "Please help me, Toranojiro."

"Where, this is what I should do."

The two stood in front of Sachiko's grave, and then began to dig the soil carefully.

They want to move the grave of Sachiko.

Let her bones sleep in a more peaceful and beautiful place, unknown and undisturbed.

——Before the Tsurumi family, who was a member of the high-ranking family, was destroyed by the reform faction, and before the behind-the-scenes manipulator who was secretly eyeing Uogi did not take action on the grave of Sachiko who was buried here.

"Brother Usho, do you want the bones of your life..." Toranojiro pondered for a long time, and finally summoned up his courage and said.

"no need."

The man who had turned into a curse spirit replied calmly without any hesitation.

"The bones of the other victims have been integrated with that land and cannot be moved, so my bones should also sleep here with them, as a witness to the complete end of the century-old crimes of the Tsurumi family."

They are located in a newly built house in the forbidden area after the Tsurumi family incident in 1958.

This is the deal Uo made with the head of the Tsurumi family at that time when he voluntarily sealed himself.

—in exchange for a house for his mother's rest.

And the bones left over from the spiritualization of the Usheng Mantra are located in the sunken area that can only be reached after a long distance from the house, the center of the long-abandoned altar.

Now, it seems to have become like a mass grave.

The sacrifices of the Tsurumi family's bloody sacrifice are regarded as filth and offerings, and they will not be cremated after death, nor will they enter the ancestral grave.

All the unfortunate victims of the past, their bones were abandoned in the pit beside the altar, piled up in fragments, and it was no longer possible to distinguish who was who.

——Except for the bones of Uo, who was the last sacrifice, which was still left on the altar due to the accident of mantra-spiritualization.

But during the 50 years when Uosheng sealed himself, the corpse was thrown into the deep pit by himself, and lay with all the victims of the past.

Because Uo couldn't separate the bones that were mixed together and integrated with the land, and couldn't give them an anonymous monument.

Therefore, he also put his own bones with them.

He does not, and does not want to be, the only exception to have a grave.

because.

Back then, he was obviously the young master of the Tsurumi family, but he never discovered the secrets hidden by the family and the victims who died tragically.

So, at least let his remaining bones be buried with countless others as a symbol of the last sacrifice.

——There will be no next one.
