Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Otoko Yuta is 15 years old this year.

Due to unavoidable circumstances, he is now in the state of running away from home—before that, he had run away from home several times.

It was cold at night, and he didn't wear thick enough clothes. He was shivering in the street, so he could only keep speeding up, exhaling to warm his numb hands.

Before returning to the abandoned building where he temporarily stayed after running away from home, Yi Gu, with downcast eyes, stopped near the convenience store with his stomach growling.The boy looked over there, paused, hesitantly flipped through his wallet, and finally lingered for a long time before mustering up the courage to go in.

The ding-ding doorbell rang, the warm convenience store dispelled the cold, and the oden cooking at the cashier of the convenience store also gave off a faint aroma.

It is definitely a pleasure to eat a bowl of steaming oden when your hands and feet are numb from the cold.

It's a pity that out of cost-effective concerns, Yi Guyoutai could only look away from the cashier with regret, and looked slowly at the discounted bento on the innermost shelf.

There is no need to consider the taste, whichever box is the cheapest and the most filling will be taken.

He took a pure sakura rice bento that only cost [-] yen after a [-]% discount, without any side dishes, and only seasoned with bonito flakes, shredded seaweed, and salt, and asked the cashier to help him heat it in a low voice.

These lunchboxes are designed to be microwaved, and you'll be ready in no time after a few bites.

There was enough heat from the hot bento that the young man whose hands were numb from the cold let out a little breath.

There are dining chairs for eating in the convenience store, but Yi Guyouta obviously has no intention of staying.However, as soon as he stepped out, he was stopped softly by the cashier lady.

"My guest, here are the disposable chopsticks, you can sit on the dining chair in the store and eat."

The cashier is a very young and kind big sister.

She put her hands on the counter and leaned forward, looked at the "introverted" boy who had never looked at anyone and spoke softly, and couldn't help but smile gently.

"It's too cold outside. It's better to warm your body after eating in the store before going out. By the way, if necessary, I can add a little oden soup to your rice for a soak. The soup ingredients in our store are all made by ourselves. It is cooked and tastes very good.”

"Speaking of which, there are not many customers today. According to my experience, today's oden can't be sold out. If you are not picky, how about I add some balls and lucky bags for you?"

"However, you should go home early after eating?"

The gentle lady at the cashier seemed to see through the fact that Yigu Yuta was running away from home, so she said one sentence after another in such a gentle and tactful way.

As for the oden that was given out...she would deduct it from her salary.That's not a lot of money for an earning adult.

After all, the minor in front of him with cold hands and feet and the word "confused" written all over his body seemed to be in need of help.

Although they have never met each other before, the kindness and worries of this intelligent and gentle elder sister towards the minors have already rushed to her face.

Yi Gu Youtai subconsciously raised his head to look at the other party, his slightly drooping eyes widened slightly, like a docile but homeless large dog.

The boy's hand holding the bento tightened for a while, his eyes were a little sour.

Yi Gu Youtai is often bullied by others, but there are also such kind people.

However, just because he is a good person, he can't get closer.

because--

Before Yi Gu could say anything, the familiar agitation that suddenly appeared around him brought him back to his senses.

In the ear, there seemed to be a faint voice of anger and jealousy, repeating intermittently like a child.

[Youtai, Youtai, he is mine. ]

[I hate it, I hate it, stay away from worry, I hate it...]

Yi Gu backed away again and again.

He bowed quickly, and said loudly to the kind cashier: "No, no need! Thank you for your kindness!"

Then turn around and leave.

Halfway through, he lowered his voice and continued to appease some existence nervously: "No, don't come out, we're going back now, just the two of us going back together... Lixiang! Lixiang, please, don't come out."

Probably because the words "just the two of us go back together" appease the extremely possessive super-curse, the terrifying, huge and distorted figure that emerged from behind Yi Gu shrank back reluctantly under the hard pleading of the human teenager.

That's why Yigu Youtai had to run away from home and away from anyone.

He is carrying a curse called "Rika" that can get out of control and hurt others.

That is also the existence of the incarnation after the unfortunate death of the girl he promised to marry and be together forever.

.

Yi Gu walked out with his head down, passing by Fumta Marui who came in through the door.

When he met a group of teenagers walking this way outside the door, Yi Gu just silently made way.

However, he was stopped again.

"Wait a minute, you—" the voice of the person who stopped him was hesitant, but he was undoubtedly facing Yi Guyouta.

Yi Gu, who was stopped twice in a row, panicked.

He cautiously raised his head to look at the strange boy in front of him.

The black-haired and blue-eyed Kitazawa Megumi didn't look very good.

His face was tense, his brows were furrowed, his green eyes were vigilant and hesitant, and behind him... a group of people followed.

For Yi Gu, who is often bullied, his first reaction is that he is unfortunately being targeted by bad boys again.

This time, this time is blackmail?

Or do you just want to beat yourself up?

No, not now.

Lixiang has already been upset once, if she is provoked again, she will lose control and hurt others again!

"I...I..." Yi Gu Youtai retreated again and again.However, the more nervous he gets, the more aggressive the curse [Rika] who wants to protect him becomes.

The coercion of the special curse [Li Xiang], the overwhelming Chaohui hit.

.

Under what circumstances would humans carry such an obvious curse aura?

According to the analysis of Hui's current knowledge base, there are three common possibilities: he is carrying a curse object, he has just come into contact with curse-related things not long ago, or the person himself is cursed.

The boy in front of him... is closer to the last possibility.

The curse on the opponent was strong and active, and Hui, who was amazingly talented, even saw a huge and twisted black figure behind the opponent for a moment.

Unlike ordinary people who couldn't see or feel the curse, Hui, who had keen five senses, could hardly control her instinctive trembling under the pressure of the super curse.

It was a special-grade aura full of malice and hostility.

Although the aura of Uosu, who is also a super-level curse spirit, is quite terrifying when fully revealed, the peaceful old father never has malice or hostility towards his children.

Under the preconceived sense of peace of mind, Hui will only be frightened and unable to move his body during the special training of the curse spirit father, and then will have a sense of tension of "doing something bad and being caught and criticized by the old father", which will not produce life at all. Dangerously uneasy.

Therefore, in terms of the degree of creepiness and sense of crisis, there is no doubt that Hui is more nervous now.

"Wait, Lixiang, no! Go back!"

Megumi heard the frantic murmurs of the cursed human boy.

Although this super curse spirit is full of hostility, this human youth does not seem to be the case.

Sato?

Is it the name of this super magic spirit?

Is this the curse spirit he knows?

Hui hesitated.

The 13-year-old Hui's hostility towards the curse spirit is not as exaggerated as a normal magician, after all, he himself was raised by the curse spirit.Although Uno told him not to show kindness to any curse spirits, and emphasized the theory that curse spirits are evil countless times, Kei still couldn't help but be affected by the cognition that "Usheng's father is a curse spirit". .

Was it unfortunate that he was cursed, or did he have a family of curse spirits just like himself?

Hui exhaled, raised her hand and pressed the bone chain on her wrist.

——The bone chain on his wrist that has been eliminated and invisible to ordinary people has long been activated at the moment when the breath of the super curse spirit burst out, and instantly turned into a small bone snake, coiled firmly around Hui's body on the wrist.

The bone snake's empty black hole eyes calmly stared at the young man in front of him, as if observing and guarding.

.

In the distance, Yokohama.

The Kitazawa family.

Uno, who was wearing an apron and cooking at home, suddenly stopped. He quickly turned off the fire, put down the spatula in his right hand, and looked very solemn.

His pale eyelashes drooped slightly, his brows were slightly wrinkled, his dull red eyes were empty, and a circle of the same dull red light lit up on the edge of his iris.

Uo's bone family can feed back the vision to the main body.

To put it simply, Uno can connect the vision of the bone family and see the scenery on the other side.

But the black-skinned and white-haired mantra would never take the initiative to do so, and would rather honestly wait for text messages and photos from the child. After all, children also need privacy and freedom.He was their father, not some surveillance freak or control freak.

There is only one situation where the bone family member will wake up automatically.

—When children are in danger.

.

Hui firmly pressed the little bone snake on his wrist.

Yi Gu, who was face to face with Hui, obviously also noticed the strange movement of the other party, and then saw the conspicuous presence on Hui's wrist.

The bone family member whose breath has been eliminated looks ordinary, but it is enough to prove their identity.

The development of the matter was unexpected, and Yi Guyou was stunned for a long time.

He who had never met any "similar" before gradually calmed down, and then looked at Hui with a little light in his eyes.

Did not fight.

After Yi Gu's mood calmed down, Li Xiang also calmed down a little, and Hui didn't make any moves, so an inexplicable balance was suddenly reached.

"It really is you, long time no see, do you still remember me? I met you in the dessert shop before."

Hui Gu looked curiously at his tennis teammate behind him, and after thinking for a while, this black-haired, blue-eyed and reliable minor took a deep breath, and tried his best to move his stiff body, which was frightened by Lixiang's hostility, as much as possible. Naturally... maybe it was serious nonsense with a deadpan face:

"I was short of [-] yen, and you paid for it for me. I wanted to return it to you, but I forgot to ask for your contact information. Thank you. I'm Megumi Kitazawa. How about you?"

Yi Gu answered in a daze, "Huh? Eh...well, I'm Yi Gu Youtai."

"Thank you very much, Senior Yi Bone."

Hui said, and then took out a [-]-yen coin from the bag, put it in the palm of Yi Gu who was confused and did not keep up with the script, and incidentally took out a pen and paper and wrote himself contact information.

"When you chatted with me before, you said you couldn't buy the book. I actually brought it with me, but I don't have it with me now. I put it in the hotel. If you don't mind, you can use this number to contact me. I will find time to give it to you. If you send it over, it will be regarded as a thank you for helping me last time."

Yi Gu blinked: ...? ?

He belatedly looked at the other people behind Hui, they seemed to be completely oblivious to the conspicuous bone snake coiled around Hui's wrist, vaguely guessed something, Yi Gu took the note, and then carefully nodded.

[It's not convenient to speak now, but if you need help, please contact me. ]

That's what it means.

Yi Guyou thought too much, his eyes were sore, and his mood was a little indescribable.

[similar]

Megumi who didn't know the inhuman status of Mr. Curse Ling back then, and also regarded Mr. Curse Ling as [similar], can now somewhat understand Yi Gu's mood.

.

Yi Gu firmly grasped the note that Hui gave him, bowed cautiously, and left the spot first.

"Hui, didn't you bring enough money when you went to the dessert shop?"

Liu Lian'er, one of the main candidates for the tennis club, who always likes to collect all kinds of information for analysis, asked a little strangely.

Hui looked away and nodded silently.

He did go to a nearby dessert shop before to buy afternoon tea. As for why he went to buy it... He lost in the boxing game, so he had no choice but to run errands.As for the money, anyway, Hui will pay in advance for the time being if he can get reimbursed through the public account in the end.

But now it has become a just right excuse.

Liu Lianer: "But from my observation, based on your personality and behavior patterns, the probability of accidentally going out with a small amount of money is less than 5.00%."

"...It was unfortunate that I met that 5.00% that day. I am also human, and occasionally make mistakes accidentally."

Hui replied slowly and naturally, he touched his wrist, and the bone snake changed back to the bone chain only after confirming that the special curse had left.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Liu Lian Er observed for a while, muttered a few words vaguely, then slowly took out the notebook, took out a pen and wrote something on it.

The members of the tennis club went back to the hotel together after shopping at the convenience store.

Yukimura, who was walking at the end, was side by side with Kei.

"Mei, do you really know that person just now?" Yukimura Seichi tilted his head and asked his friend beside him.

Hui nodded silently again.

Yukimura raised his eyebrows: "But you seemed to be frightened when you were in front of the convenience store just now, and you looked very nervous. Don't make excuses, I can see that."

"..."

Wheaton froze, but he couldn't explain it.

Yukimura and him have had an entire elementary school friendship, no doubt they are old friends, and to some extent, they know each other's personality quite well.Kei didn't expect to be able to completely hide it from him, so she could only touch her neck and apologize to Yukimura in a low voice.

"Sorry, I can't tell you, but it's not a big deal."

"But it's the first time I've seen you look so nervous." Yukimura emphasized, "I've never done it before, and there's that excuse... It's fine to lie to Marui and the others. How many years do you think I've known you? Megumi."

"It's just that I thought of some bad things myself, but that's because I thought too much." Kei said vaguely, "Anyway, don't worry, Yukimura, I can solve it." If it can't be solved, there is still Dad.

No matter how hard Yukimura could think of the curse.

Hui didn't want to say it, and he could only look at his friend silently, and finally sighed helplessly.

Yukimura: "Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I can't force you, but if there is a place that needs my help or needs someone to confide in, remember to come to me, whether it is from the standpoint of a friend or a minister, I am very happy Do something for you."

"Ah." Hui's expression relaxed a lot, he nodded, "I know."

.

After returning to the homestay, after taking a bath, soaking in the hot spring and eating, it is free time until ten o'clock.

Hui declined Mrs. Wen's invitation to play table tennis, and walked to a remote corner alone with her mobile phone.

He was reporting the safety of Cursing Father, and while waiting for Yigu Youtai to contact him, Huishun explained the previous situation to his most trusted guardian Mr.

[Lixiang].

Hui Xiang: I did hear that senior Yi Bone shouting.

There was no doubt that it was a personal name, or a female name.

Previously, I was frightened by the breath and hostility of the special curse spirit, and my whole body was stiff, and my thinking was a little slow, but now I think about it... [Lixiang]'s actions seem to be to protect Otoko Yuta.

[Rika] was most hostile to himself, and it happened to be the time when Otoko Yuta was stopped and he was most nervous.

Later, after Yi Gu calmed down, the creepy coercion disappeared a lot.

——The curse that protects humans.

Although the specific behavior is a bit far off, but the general sense of déjà vu makes Hui unable to ignore it.
