Curse of the Eye of the Dead

People with supernatural powers do not have the ability to cast off curses.

And except for Chuya in special circumstances, they couldn't even fully see the curse with the naked eye.

Ordinary supernatural power users can only observe the blurred shadows of the curse spirits with sufficient strength-those spell spirits that are too weak, they can't even detect them.

But these problems can be made up for with magic tools.

The glasses and weapons with magic power have long been handed over to the investigators of the detective agency who came to help.

"It always feels so strange to wear glasses. It feels like the field of vision is narrowed! Also, does the magic world still stay in ancient times?"

Osamu Dazai muttered and adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then played around with the magic knife in his hand.

"They are still using these cold weapons, cold weapons! Can't they give me a gun? Do they expect me to take a knife and fight those cursed spirits in person? Wow, I don't want to get close to those unbelievably ugly monster!"

The black-haired, kite-eyed boy complained so loudly that his cheeks bulged like a puffer fish.

"No one expects you to fight, so shut up."

Zhong Yuanzhong, who has orange-red hair, also complained: "Did you hear it just now? The assistant supervisor said that the "tent" cut off all signals and blocked the entry and exit of non-magicians. The area involved is too large. Detective agencies and spells It may take some time for the border to learn about our internal situation and make instructions... Hey, Dazai, before that, use your brains! "

Zhong Ye kicked his partner, and urged loudly without any politeness: "The command is up to you, don't mess around here, work quickly!"

"Oh, Chuuya finally admits that he is not mentally good, so you want to rely on me?"

"I was ranked in the top five in my grade last time! Isn't it just one lower than you!? Who's out of their minds! I will definitely pass you next time!"

Chuya suddenly frowned like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Besides, I'm just a little less comprehensive than you in terms of calculations... No! No, it's because I want to focus on safety and security, so I don't have the energy to pay attention to other things!" I don't want to admit at all that I am more Mackerel's weak Zhongya changed his words abruptly, "Anyway... If your abilities are useless and your physical skills are not very good, if you don't do something serious, why do you come here! Why don't you just go to the shelter as a talisman? Already!"

I don't know the reason, but curse spirits generally don't like to be close to people with supernatural abilities.

It's not because of fear, it's more like pure lack of interest, as if there is an unpleasant smell on the supernatural beings, and they will turn their heads when they get close.

The "curse-spirit-hating physique" caused by the stronger supernatural powers seems to be more obvious.

Of course, it's not that there are no cases where people with supernatural powers were attacked, but that can be called rare.On the premise that there are ordinary people, the curse spirit will be more keen to attack ordinary people.

However, low-intelligence spell spirits will indeed give priority to avoiding the location of people with supernatural abilities under instinctive actions, and Chuya's remark of "just go to the shelter as a talisman" is not without basis.

"I really want to be lazy, but you will definitely sue after you go out."

Dazai sighed pretentiously, and the knife that was spinning in his hand was inserted back into the sheath at his waist with his backhand handsomely.

"Besides, I'd have a headache if I let these unbelievably ugly monsters destroy Yokohama... There's still a restaurant I like nearby."

"so--"

Osamu Dazai restrained his smile slightly, narrowed his kite-colored eyes, and looked up into the sky: "The rare good weather has been blocked...Okay, Chuya, let's get rid of the "account" that disrupted our rescue plan first." Bar. "

.

In another "account".

The super-class magic tool named "Hound Dog" by Chacha easily cut off the curse spirit's head.

The Taidao was long and heavy, but in the girl's hands it was as light as a hollow wooden stick—it was as fast as an afterimage, but extremely powerful.

"Please take refuge at the subway station, someone will protect you and find a way to move you to a safe place!"

With makeup on her face, her facial features looked particularly neutral, and she didn't look like herself at all, she lowered her voice and said to the family of three behind her.

Chacha has said this sentence countless times.

The blood of the curse was all over her body.

Before the blood of the last curse evaporated and disappeared, the next one splashed up again-this is the bad thing about melee combat.

There are too many curses raging in the Tent.

Fortunately, most of them are not too strong, and Chacha can still handle it. No matter how bad it is, she still has her partner Oda Sakunosuke to help.In the case that the enemy is a curse spirit, the killing skills of Oda Sakunosuke, who is unwilling to kill, finally have a time to reappear.

"Don't worry about me, Dad."

Like a hound, Chacha bit and killed several curses one after another decisively and fiercely. After clearing the ground, she lowered her head to look at the restless bone chain on her wrist.

She said: "We can handle it, brother Ryunosuke is also nearby, we will take care of each other."

Akutagawa's ability Rashomon kept picking up civilians one by one and putting them in a safe rear.Although his ability can't remove the curse, he can roll it up and throw it to Chacha and Oda Sakunosuke, and let them kill it.

The next "account".

The jade dog easily bit off the neck of a curse, and Nie fell from the sky holding the knotweed stick. The fighter with a well-developed body punched the black flash, and directly smashed the three curse spirits together.

……

Gojo Satoru is in charge of exorcising two special curse spirits.

It's not too strong, not as good as those natural spell spirits when the exchange meeting invaded, but it's better than the troublesome spells - the opponent has the ability to teleport over short distances that is extremely good at escaping.

In addition, he also deliberately chose the combat zone in the most densely populated place, with low-level curse assistance that harassed people like locusts, and Gojo Satoru, who couldn't let go of his hands and feet because of the existence of vulnerable civilians, became more and more irritable, and was abruptly delayed. for a while.

In the end, he had no choice but to open the domain. By compressing the opening time of the domain to a minimum, he bet that the brains of ordinary people involved in it would not suffer irreversible damage due to indiscriminate attacks, and thus achieve the effect of quickly clearing the curse. .

"Ah, it's really annoying." Wujo Satoru complained as he quickly exorcised all the curse spirits at the moment the domain unfolded.

Around him, lay a group of ordinary people who had fallen into a coma because they were drawn into the domain of the strongest magician—Gojo Satoru checked a little, and he was relieved to be sure that they would be able to recover after recuperation.

But he can't go yet.

Because this is an even worse "Hundred Ghost Night Walk" than last year, and there are many low-level curse spirits spreading around like locusts.

This group of comatose, immobile ordinary people is the best bait for those low-level spell spirits.

Wujo Satoru had to deal with these ordinary people first.

Anxiously, he looked at the "tent" above his head with displeasure, and then cursed secretly: "I'm in a hurry, bastard!"

The parasitic corpse of Yansuo happened to be a close friend who knew Wutiao Wu's ability quite well.

It feels awful to be seen through and arranged.

The old immortal who has lived for so many years is really difficult to deal with.

Cursing from the bottom of his heart, the white-haired conjurer stomped on the head of the super curse spirit as if venting his anger, and then reached out to touch the bone family member in his pocket.

He tried to make his voice sound calm: "Sir, please bear with me a little longer."

"The curse spirit has been cleaned up in a large area, and the establishment of the refuge is also going smoothly."

"Soon—"

.

Uno didn't listen.

In other words, he heard so many voices that he couldn't tell who was who.

.

25 minutes remaining.

.

"Master Guardian God, God, please show mercy."

"Save us... I want to go home, Lord Guardian God, take me home, please."

"Why, ah, go away, go away! You monsters! God, God! Please, answer me, answer me! Please—"

"Mom...I want to go home, Lord God, Lord Guardian God, I want to go home..."

"Town... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

The voice of the brain echoed non-stop, as if placed in a busy city, the endless calls were mixed together.

——with despair, with pain, with hatred that came to an abrupt end, and was born out of extreme fear.

"Why didn't you show up this time! Aren't you the Guardian God of Yokohama?"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

"Why can't I get out? Let me out, my lord, my lord, please break this cage! Save your believers!"

...just don't listen.

Uo could have refused to listen.

But those emotions were too desperate and painful, so that Uno couldn't refuse those prayers that seemed to grasp the last straw.

Numerous negative emotions in the war zone flooded towards the "Guardian God"—the sinful body of the curse spirit happily accepted the uncontrollable magic power from the civilians.

But the spirit of the curse spirit itself is gradually withering.

Uo, who was sitting cross-legged against the wall, shrank into a ball. He held his head in his hands and kept tightening.And the dark mountain-like back muscles were obviously undulating due to too bad emotions.

Unwilling to just hide it like this, Uosuki used his own family members, trying to get them into the "tent" to do what they could.

But it backfired.

Unable to turn a blind eye to the victims, the Bone Familiars went into battle one after another until they were destroyed by a stronger curse—this made Uosu have to face the tragic end of the civilians it originally guarded after the Bone Familiars were defeated.

This became another stimulus.

He can't release too many bone family members at once, otherwise it will give the enemy obvious clues to find them.However, it takes longer to manufacture powerful bone family members, and weak bone family members are easy to be destroyed although they are produced quickly... no matter what, they will not be perfect.

This is different from the period of the dragon head war.

During the Longtou War, although Uoyu failed to save many people-but he tried his best, and he would not torture himself for it.

But this time is different.

He can obviously do more.

The most important cause of mass casualties are those "accounts".

As long as the enemy's "tent" is destroyed and replaced by the "tent" that prohibits the internal magic spirits from leaving, the civilians can be transferred, leaving the magic spirits to be exorcised in turn on the emptied battlefield.

"Why can't we get out! How long are we going to stay here? I heard a voice, I heard a monster's voice, God! I want to go home, I want to go home—"

"Why me again..."

"let me out--"

The despair has not ceased.

The sound still hasn't stopped.

.

Count down 15 minutes.

There were ten "tents" in the sky above Yokohama, and tens of thousands of civilians were involved.

"Well, he seems to be more patient than I thought."

Released a lot of low-level spell spirits that can connect to the field of vision to observe the situation, Lisuo muttered to himself in surprise, and then quietly shifted the medium that maintained the "tent" casually.

He placed a shifting formation for the medium.

The one who wins every game of hide and seek must be the one who knows how to move silently to places already checked by the Stalkers.

— After all, people always think that the place they have searched is safe.

"With this progress, it shouldn't be a problem to maintain the "account" for another ten minutes. "Masuo tilted his head, "But if Tsurumi Uogi endures any longer, it won't be a good development for me. "

"It seems that the next dose of strong medicine is needed."

Today is not a day off.

This means that the students in the school have not yet had a holiday.

After confirming Wujo Wu's position, he smiled and let out the last super magic spirit.

The last super magic spirit went to the "tent" where Gojo Satoru was.

And in order to avoid being wiped out all at once, the batch of curse spirits that were left in stages began to appear in each "account" all at once.

They obeyed the orders of the magicians, and began to move purposefully—to move closer to large and small teaching institutions.

From the beginning of the war to the present, only forty minutes have passed, and if the time interval between the official actions of the conjurers is included, it is only less than three to ten minutes.

Under the circumstances that the "tent" cut off the access of non-magicians, the magic circle was seriously understaffed, and the time was short, some large institutions with too many people became refuges on the spot, and the magicians tried their best to divert the magic spirits, Keep it safe there.

Schools are such special places.

Especially... those schools that happen to be holding parent-teacher conferences.

"My child...what to do, what to do? How can I let him live? My lord, have mercy on us, my child...he is only 11 years old!"

"There are also monsters in the school, in the school! My lord, my lord, why don't you come and kill these monsters?"

Uzumaki opened his eyes suddenly.

He raised his head abruptly, and among countless prayers, he heard words that made his blood coagulate.

"Ahhhhhhh!! Stop it! Stop it! Let him go! Don't touch my child!"

Time seemed to run backwards.

This sentence completely coincides with Sachiko's howling when she was pressed to the ground and still crawled towards Uno with all her strength, even her fingernails were dripping with blood without realizing it.

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit let out a suppressed growl.

"Save him, who will save him, god, god, why don't you show up? I don't care what you want, but please, please...don't take my child from me, I only have He's gone, I only have him..."

The desperate, weeping wailing completely snapped the nerves that had been crumbling long ago.

.

Count down 13 minutes.

The "tent" that was closest to Uosu and troubled all the rescuers suddenly dissipated with a deafening roar.

Count down 11 minutes.

The second "account" also dissipates.

10 minutes countdown, the third——

It was like some kind of dark lightning, and it was also like a storm caused by the anger of the gods.

The curse spirit with a strong and majestic aura crushed all the monsters all the way, tearing the huge barrier completely.

Why is there such a completely wrong existence as a curse spirit?

Why do some people regard life as worthless?

Incomprehensible.

Unforgivable.

"gentlemen--"

"dad!?"

Zhong Ye stared blankly at the passing figure, Chacha sensed the breath from a distance and opened her eyes wide.

The "account" was destroyed, and the rescue work for refugees began to be officially implemented, and a large number of refugees who had been prepared for a long time began to leave.

Uno ran non-stop for a moment, the wind slapped him like a knife, and the unceasing prayer was still in his ears.

"Master God, save us."

Please persevere, persevere.

I'm getting closer, I'm really getting closer—

It wasn't until the last "tent" turned into a cloud of smoke that Uo, who had been running all over the area without stopping, stopped, looking at the sky with extremely unstable emotions.

The dazzling sun, blue sky, beautiful as if the disaster never existed.

soon.

Another "account" was lowered.

But that is not the enemy's "tent", but the "tent" of the magician, which was set up by the assistant supervisor.

——The "tent" that only allows ordinary people to pass through and blocks the curse spirits.

"Tsurumi Uo."

Someone read the name of the curse spirit - a familiar name, and a long-lost surname.

Uso lowered his head and looked in the direction of the sound bit by bit.

The man with sutures on his forehead, parasitized by monsters showed a gentle smile, and he said casually, "I actually think you are quite pity."

Count down 3 seconds.

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit bowed slightly, and the dangerous iridescent light on the shadowed face shone with the light of death.

He aimed at the opponent's vitals, and rushed forward under the deafening sound, without any intention of listening to the opponent's words.

however.

Fully controlling the power of this body as a super class, Ronso avoided the fatal blow, and the last curse spirit in his hand became a meat shield, completely turning into a mist of flesh and blood in a second.

Yansuo rolled to distance himself, and then smiled.

Count down 0 seconds.

The cursed object on Yansuo's body suddenly jumped and stagnated in the air, making "clicking" sounds continuously.

And the final condition of "actively approaching the ten-meter range of the cursed object" was met, and the cursed spirit with the magic eyes was bound by the chains of golden light in an instant, and fell into his own spiritual world.

The second trial of the super-curse "Amoro" has officially begun.

Yan Suo stood up slowly, patted the dust, looked at the curse spirit who was restrained in place, smiled and continued:

"After all, you became a curse spirit, which should have been an extremely precious second life after your short lifespan—if you can completely change your mind, accept and become a real curse spirit, You can undoubtedly become the new King of Curses, be followed and admired, and become the ruler of the new era."

"...Instead of turning into the sad picture now, driven by guilt to the point of paranoia and madness, which can be easily seen through by others."

The monster that has lived for a thousand years is full of regret.

"As a curse spirit, you may be stronger, but to be honest... it's far worse than when you were a human being, making me more cautious."

"This is probably the result of staying in the body of the curse spirit, but forcibly retaining the "humanity"? "

Uo as a human being is indeed not as powerful as him as a curse spirit.

However, at that time, Uo had the will to live, the expectation for the future, and the patience to be rational until the end.

——and the mother who will always wait for him to come home, the root and anchor that makes him invincible.

And the curse spirit...he was tired.

He was tired of endless life with no end in sight, tired of the never-ending sense of guilt.

The new family brought sunshine to his barren world and brought him happiness that made him cry without tears, but they would not allow him to let go of the shackles wrapped around him and return to his former appearance.

People live to look forward.

But he died a long time ago, and the body left in the forbidden area of ​​Tsurumi's house has long been turned into dry bones.

And the heavy past is firmly embedded in his shoulders, which can never be taken off.

The current him is just a sad monster who seeks to dissipate but cannot rest in peace, and is unwilling to succumb to his instinct and endure until now.

He always smiles gently, pays attention to others, as if he wants to take out his heart, and gives all his love.

—and leave nothing to myself at all.

A more powerful force corresponds to a more fragile spirit that is faintly moving towards paranoia.

The person who was once regarded as the sun is finally left with a weak embers that cannot withstand the excitement.

"Let me lift the shackles on you for you."

Lisuo spread out his hands and announced hypocritically:

"Get rid, accept yourself as a curse spirit with a smile, obey the instinct that should have been released long ago, and then...become the black shadow of the new world!"

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Cuckoo, I would like to explain in advance that Cuckoo has already written three outlines for the ending: 1 line to unravel the curse, 2 line to exorcise, and 3 line to keep the tomb.

To undo the curse is to return the soul to rest in peace like Li Xiang, to exorcise is to die completely, and to keep the line of the grave is to live forever.

The exorcising line should not be written, the text is the unraveling line if there is no accident, and the tomb keeper may survive the accident (it is a rough outline, so it may change).
