Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Yokohama, a port city with easy access, has a reputation for being a chaotic place for a long time.

Under the current situation where gangster organizations, large and small, are rampant for centuries, the smuggling situation here is particularly serious, and a series of despicable criminal transactions have also been derived. *1

Like drug trafficking, arms dealing, and...human trafficking.

Some of the local disappearance cases in Yokohama over the past hundred years were related to human trafficking.

The frequency has decreased a lot in recent years.

Regulation played only a small part, and the real decisive factor in this city was the rise of a vicious criminal organization with the port as its sphere of influence.

The organization that has gradually taken root in the city's economic and political sphere, known by the locals as the "Port Mafia", has suppressed other scattered medium and small criminal organizations by itself, and only a few of the same large criminal organizations can stand against them.

Not out of any sense of justice.

Rather, it's the exact opposite—they're the Mafia.

Few things in Yokohama are as dark and dangerous as the Mafia.

However, the current old leader of the port mafia, which uses the port as its sphere of influence, still explicitly prohibits drug trafficking and human trafficking that are not conducive to their development-because these two will seriously damage the cities they depend on for their livelihoods, which is no different from exhausting the river for fishing.

Although his style of acting was cruel and bloody, the old leader who had not lost his mind and built such a huge organization would certainly not be so short-sighted as to let this kind of thing go.

As a result, human trafficking cases gradually began to decrease.

But despite this... the evil brewed by the crimes accumulated in the past hundred years has not disappeared.

.

Incomplete born domains are not offensive in any way, but as an equivalent, their duration and domain size are generally particularly impressive.

Some smart curses can also be exchanged for a certain [Domain Traits] through self-restraint according to their own needs.

Like [Endless Alley]... that would obviously fall into that category.

The domain entrance is hidden under the conditions. If the conditions are not triggered, it will not be able to be on the same plane as the opponent's domain, and Uo cannot directly break through the [Magic Eye].Even if the existence that does not meet the conditions has been surveyed back and forth on that street countless times, it cannot find the entrance to another world that does not belong to the human world. In the end, it can only stand there with a headache.

... It is not impossible to blow up the entire area and get out of the curse, but the movement is too great.

Uzumaki was lost in thought.

In short, it can be confirmed that it is a curse spirit incident.

Because there is obvious curse power near the place where Hiramatsu and Hong passed out, but there is only a small area of ​​the original place, probably after leaving the curse mark and returning to the field.

... What a hassle.

Is the concealment of general curses so strong?

What exactly is this concealment set up for?How did Pinsong edit trigger it?

Uno didn't doubt his ability, so he subconsciously chose to think from the perspective of another curse.

…for [inhuman anomalies]?

A certain "existence" that appeared after the explosion in the Yokohama Concession caused countless sensitive curse spirits to subconsciously evade and flee, but this special-grade curse embryo could not leave, so the strongest protective barrier was set up against this [anomaly]—if it is In this case, it is not incomprehensible that the self who is also a [non-human existence] is excluded.

Uso stared at the street fixedly, and temporarily gave up continuing to explore.

He planned to go to Hiramatsu and Hiroshi first, and "kill" the curse marks on each other.

.

November 2009, 9, at 23:45 am.

In the Kanagawa district of Yokohama, the Nakai family, husband and wife, and their son all died unexpectedly.

The couple are young, in their early 20s, and their child is less than a year old.

On the same day, at eight o'clock in the morning.

Not long after waking up, Hiramatsu and Hiro received a call from the police while yawning.

"Nakai...? Ah, yes, I'm his friend. We did contact yesterday because I just returned to Yokohama. He planned to pick me up for a party, but we still couldn't meet..."

"Huh? The reason? Because he said that his son suddenly had a fever, so he had to rush home... Well, what's wrong with Nakai-san?"

"Eh? Dead...?"

Hiramatsu and Hiro slowly opened their eyes wide.

Nakai Sangichi is a high school classmate of Hiramatsu’s editor. He almost grew up together, and his family is very close, just across the street. He just got married two years ago and had a child not long after. half a year old.

Hiramatsu and Hiroshi were still thinking about visiting after the weekend...but there is no chance now.

As Nakai's last contact, Hiramatsu and Hiroshi answered the police's questions in a daze, then hurriedly changed their clothes, and rushed to their friend's house in a hurry.

At the door, countless passers-by and neighbors were watching.

The warning line surrounded the entrance of Nakai's house.

"The husband and wife died at the door..."

"I heard that the half-year-old child is gone."

"Is it burglary?"

"No, no financial loss, just killing people."

"It's terrible. Has the Zhongjing family offended the underworld?"

"It's possible... a week ago, Mr. Zhongjing was unconscious for more than two hours in a corner for no reason, and was taken to the hospital by a passer-by. He still had multiple strains and bruises on his body. Mrs. Zhongjing was very worried and reported to the police, but because Mr. Zhongjing himself lost his memory and there was no evidence, so it was nothing."

"So this is revenge?"

Pingsong and Hong were dressed roughly, and they could hear the words in their ears clearly. His face was pale, and he spoke to a housewife tremblingly.

Hiramatsu and Hiroshi smiled uglier than crying, "I'm sorry... Could you please tell me carefully about Nakai-kun who lost his memory for two hours a week ago?"

The location where Nakai Soichi was unconscious coincided with the same location as Hiramatsu and Hiro.

.

Hiramatsu and Hiro's original sadness was covered by biological fear.

He recalled the suicide note in his mobile phone, and his hands and feet were as cold as falling into an ice cave.

At 09:30, when he arrived at the Qiuyue Society branch to report to work, he also frequently lost his mind, staring at the computer screen, and the proofreading work did not make any progress.

Because he didn't know the home address of Editor Hiramatsu, Uo, who came from the publishing house, followed the ID card on his desk to find his editor.

That was the first time Uno really met the editor.

The other party was much younger than he had imagined, with short black hair brushed back casually, wearing a three-piece suit, and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking rather frightened and haggard.

Probably still scared.

Mr. Curse Spirit in his pockets with both hands thought.

But...it will probably be fine after a while.

Pinsong is very optimistic and has a strong mind. Give him enough time, and he will probably be able to adjust himself.

The curse spirit, who was freely shuttling among the coming and going crowd, lowered his eyes, and his lifeless dark red pupils changed into the unique dark blue with iridescent brilliance of [Magic Eye].

The [Curse] mark in the opponent's body was clearly visible. He raised his hand and pulled out a long and thin bone spur from his body, stabbing at the point of death and completely obliterating the mark.

Afterwards, Uo wrapped a bone chain that was invisible to ordinary people and belonged to himself, the curse spirit, around the opponent's wrist.

Uo was not sure whether the curse fetus would notice that the mark was erased. Before the complete confirmation of the exorcism, the careful curse spirit decided to give the other party a safety guarantee by the way.

After all, the other party helped their family a lot.

Whether it's my own business, Megumi and Tsumiki's work in the emergency center, or the transfer of schools later, thanks to the enthusiastic editor, the cumbersome procedures can be reduced.

is a good man.

Retaining the [humanity] recognized by the vigilant and suspicious Hui himself, the seemingly indifferent black-skinned curse spirit is actually so soft-hearted that he can't turn a blind eye to anyone's crisis.Not to mention the good people I know.

.

Hiramatsu and Hiroshi, who are ordinary people, cannot see the magic spirit in a normal state.

Granted, he didn't know he'd gotten rid of the curse mark either.

He got off work in a daze, and stood at the door of his house in a particularly hesitant mood.

Nakai-kun...you have encountered the same thing as me, right?

Mr. Zhongjing was the only one who was unconscious at the beginning, but it was his family of three who had the accident.

Of course Hiramatsu and Hiro are sad, they are his friends after all.

However, it is not contradictory to be sad and afraid at the same time.

If, he meant if—

If he continues to live at home, will his parents, and his six-year-old sister be implicated like Mr. Zhongjing and his family?

[I heard that the chest was cut open. ]

[I heard that limbs were severed. ]

[The children of their family... the death is said to be particularly frightening. ]

Hiramatsu and Hiroshi have not seen the corpse with their own eyes, but as a literary worker with rich imagination, he can probably imagine a thing or two.

He pursed his lips.

Then, a firm choice was made.

Even if his family is involved, he will not rest in peace when he dies.

...he is moving out of the house.

.

A week.

Soichi Nakai died a week later.

Ping Song and Hong Xiang: I might have a week left.

He didn't want to die, so he had to find a way to solve this problem.

The young man in his early 20s pushed the silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, obviously fearful, but without hesitation.

He took a full week of vacation, went to countless well-known shrines to ask for amulets, and even consulted countless psychics for emergency medical treatment.

Kazuhiro Hiramatsu, who stayed up for several days and had thick dark circles under his eyes and stubble of a beard, kept spending money and begging for help to find missing children in Yokohama in recent decades based on the information in the "suicide note".

His "suicide note" said that the walls of [Endless Alley] are full of children's missing persons notices.

"Maybe it's a vengeful spirit." The psychic's words lingered in his ears, "The vengeful spirit of a child who wants to go home."

"It follows you just to find a home. If you don't take it to find a real home, you will probably be killed."

Pingsong and Hongxin thought it was true.

If that's the case...is there still room for negotiation?

The one-week deadline is approaching.

Pingsong and Hong took a deep breath, carrying countless talisman beads and prepared scripts, to show his sincerity, he planned to return to the alley ahead of time and on his own initiative.

Even if it fails, it will only cost your own life.

Mom, Dad, and his little sister... will be fine.

.

So, nine o'clock in the evening.

Mr. Curse Spirit, who was reading bedtime stories to the little ones at home, suddenly had his vision connected to his bone relatives.

That was the bone family member following Hiramatsu and Hiroshi.

The bone family member who turned into a bone snake calmly passed the picture in front of him to his master.

Uno: ...!

The storybook held by the black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit fell down instantly.

"dad?"

Chacha raised her head, looked at the adult's shocked and bewildered face, tilted her head and shouted in bewilderment.

.

Curses are twisted beings.

You can't have any special expectations for those things because of [special cases].

More than [-]% of curses cannot communicate.

And almost 100% of the curses will be human beings with the deepest malice.

This point, Pinsong and Hong didn't know.

When he lingered for a long time, triggered the condition again, stepped into the endless alley with his bone family, and got back the missing memory...

Hiramatsu and Hiro instantly realize that they have been deceived by the psychic.

Because he has recalled it.

Recalling... the true face of that monster.

That's not a child's wraith at all.

It was a distorted... "Hundred Faced Ghost" that was as huge as a deep purple mud deposit and covered with human faces.

Is there really a possibility of communicating with that kind of thing?

No.

Intuition has already told Hiramatsu and Hiro the answer covered in cold sweat.

.

The bone family was extremely lucky to be substituted into the [Endless Alley] along with Hiramatsu and Hiroshi, barely delaying the rescue time for Uo.

Only the first-level bone dependents turned into bone wolves, reluctantly protecting the humans behind them.

The Hundred Faced Ghost on the opposite side is undoubtedly a super curse embryo.

It is still a super curse embryo that is about to hatch.

There is no comparison between the first level and the special level. After crossing a level, the strength can be called a world of difference.

The Bone Family was frequently broken up and barely recovered. Before it was finally completely destroyed, Uo, who kept in touch with the Bone Family, successfully broke through the entrance of the Born Realm by virtue of this connection.

A bone spear protruded from the spine, his clothes were punctured, and Mr. Curse Spirit, who was torn apart and thrown aside at will, revealed his dark skin and the dark red curse lines that spread from his chest to the sides of the shark muscles.

The same pale fluffy long hair was blown up by the instant burst of spell power, and the curse spirit who skillfully raised his hand to hold the bone gun looked depressed and sharp-eyed. The leg with stronger arm kicked the bone gun precisely, and the blast sounded through the air. The hovering bone gun destroyed the road surface of the alley like a roller, and directly split the Hundred Faced Ghost in two in the distance.

With a "buzz", the bone spear, which was still stained with cursed blood, pierced deeply into the ground again.

Cursed dirty blood slowly dripped down the long handle of the bone gun.

.

Ordinary people who cannot see the magic spirit can temporarily have the ability to [visible] under this special situation.

Over the past 20 years, Hiramatsu and Hong, whose three views have been completely shattered, turned around tremblingly, and opened their eyes so wide that they could not be wider.

Then, he saw a shocking scene that he would never forget in his life.

That tall, muscular man with long horns and a tail... just like the legendary [Lord of the Hundred Ghosts].

—— Hiramatsu and Hiro unconsciously gave each other such titles.

That indescribably terrifying aura...was more frightening than the one hundred-faced ghost brought him.

No, to be precise, it was more about the unique courage that made him unable to help but kneel down.

The bone wolf who had been protecting him before walked to the opponent's side, and then turned into ashes.

Hiramatsu and Hiro tensed up, almost forgetting to breathe.He watched the astonishing inhuman being walk calmly with an indifferent expression, and passed by him without stopping, until he walked in front of the "Hundred Faced Ghost" that was split in half.

[Lord of Hundred Ghosts] raised his hand, and the bone gun in the distance flew back to his hand with a buzzing sound as if being summoned.

Then, a dark blue with a circle of iridescent light flashed from the [Lord of Hundred Ghosts]'s eyes, and the Hundred Faced Ghost, who had not died and was still recovering, was stabbed in one place of the body again.

The "point of death" is penetrated.

This time, that "hundred-faced ghost" was completely wiped out like an ant.

easy.

Totally effortless.

.

After the body of the curse embryo was exorcised, this [Endless Alley] also disappeared.

Editors Uno and Hiramatsu were sent back to their original streets.

Editor Pinsong was still in a daze and didn't come back to his senses, but Mr. Curse Ling, who had destroyed the bone gun, had already turned his head, and looked at him with an incomprehensible expression on his handsome and extraordinary face.

After the silence, the black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit was the first to break the calm.

His voice was low and his tone was puzzled: "You...why did you come here?"

"Eh?"

Pinsong and Hong pointed to themselves, and after getting the acquiescence of the curse spirit, they scratched their heads cautiously and told their own stories.

He was met by a monster, and a friend who had the same experience as himself died not long ago.

In order not to implicate their family members, Hiramatsu and Hiroshi decided to stay away, and tried their best to survive.

"But I was deceived by the psychic medium. I always thought it was some kind of child's wraith. I also thought about convincing them through communication according to the psychic medium, and helping the other party fulfill their wishes in exchange for my own vitality... But it failed. , the amulets from these shrines are useless."

Uno: ...

Uno was in a complicated mood.

He didn't expect that Hiramatsu and Hiroshi would be so unlucky that someone around him was also cursed and even died.

so that the other party makes such a decision.

Exhaling a breath, Mr. Curse Ling lowered his eyelids and said with a slight headache: "That kind of thing can't be persuaded, don't do such dangerous things again."

"Yes! I'm really, really sorry!"

The editor who bowed ninety degrees answered loudly, and then raised his eyes hesitantly, "Speaking of which, this... Lord Monster?"

"what's up?"

"What the hell is that thing?" Pinsong and Hiro looked at Mr. [Lord of Hundred Ghosts] who didn't seem to be hostile, couldn't help mustering courage, and asked in a low voice: "I have seen many missing persons notices of children...and those Does the child matter?"

"It's a distorted aggregate born from the curse of people, and has nothing to do with children." Uosu answered bluntly, rejecting the other party's guess.

Pinsong and Hong recalled something in a daze, and said to themselves: "...is it the same as [Mountain God] and [Debt Collector]?"

Uso paused.

what.

Indeed, it is the same as [Mountain God] and [Debt Collector].

The curse is a completely distorted existence.

What kind of negative emotions did the exorcised Hundred-faced Ghost come from? Uo can more or less guess one or two from the countless missing person notices.

It is probably a curse born from the despair and fear of the families of the missing and trafficked children in the past countless years, and the society, or a monster brewed from the fear of the trafficked children.

But so what?

Just as the mountain god in "Bride Aqian" prefers to kill the bride, the debt collector in "Casino Dealer" prefers to kill gamblers.

Cursed spirits do not seek justice for humans.

Monsters born out of human negativity only become corresponding fears.

Such is the nature of the curse.

Extremely distorted, it shouldn't exist at all.

The author has something to say:

Usually it is the third day of the day, which is the normal standard of Gu Gu, and most of the time it is also the third day of the day~

If I have time, I will occasionally write a little more, and basically publish it in one chapter.But every day so many are Daba Daba, the bald pigeon can't stand it, the three-dimensional is very busy, and the time for coding is limited~

*1 The statement that Yokohama used to be a chaotic place and the crimes were serious belongs to the needs of the plot in the text, so don’t substitute it into the three dimensions~

ps: The action of Uosheng kicking the gun comes from Yuanshen Zhongli (I'm sorry, but Dijun really poked me too much. Gugu, who just entered the pit a few days ago, really wants a Dijun)

It seems that many people don't know the timeline, so I will reply to the misunderstanding of the comments in the previous chapter.
