Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Kei was also taken aback.

He opened his green eyes round, but he couldn't react for a while.

From a human point of view, curse spirits that are difficult to control and easily hurt others should indeed be exorcised.

But, but—

Is there really no other way...?

Get rid of [Sato], let the soul of an 11-year-old girl completely dissipate... Wouldn't it be too sad?

Kei turned her head blankly to look at the adult next to her, at Uno's sculptural side face and dark red eyes, and found that the other person seemed to be serious.

But obviously, the father of the curse spirit, who has always hated the curse spirit, did not make such a cruel suggestion out of disgust.

Rather the opposite.

Hui doesn't have the keen observation ability like Chacha's mind reading, but it is far better than ordinary people.

Therefore, Hui is clearly aware of this—his Cursing Father is feeling sorry for Bone and Lixiang, but at the same time, he thinks that what he proposes is already the [cursed person], the unfortunate [cursed spiritualization] ] The best ending that people can get in the end.

A... peaceful and peaceful sleep forever.

Hui's mood sank a little.

Under the onslaught of intelligence, this smart and precocious child was in a mess.

.

Uno's rejection of the curse spirit was actually not that serious during his lifetime.

If you have to say it, it's just the normal hostile attitude of a conjurer who has received a systematic education towards curses.

But after death, it just got worse.

Uno didn't know whether this was affected by his own magic spell.After all, even if you don’t mention what he did in the body of the curse spirit, just talk about the existence form of the curse spirit—this kind of sad creature that relies on negative emotions to maintain its existence. Negative emotions are their source of power, so it is only natural and more Easy to receive and magnify negative emotions.

Uo's powerful inhuman body can absorb the turbid gloom infinitely, but the will that retains [humanity] and has been broken once is not so hard now.

A monster with [heart] can be invincible or vulnerable.

Uosu hates the curse spirit like an allergy.

He had thought there would be no exceptions.

But it's still too early to draw conclusions.

He sighed inaudibly.

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit looked down at the terrified Yi Gu in front of him, and focused on Li Xiang who appeared behind him almost instantly, as if he was about to attack at any time.

He also cursed spiritualization after death, but Lixiang was not as lucky as Uogi to retain the attitude of a close person.

Rather, it is a terrifying and huge appearance that is enough to be called a horror according to human aesthetics.

Being around the person you like, it's probably very uncomfortable to be like this.

and.

Rika, this 11-year-old girl...does she still retain some human consciousness?

It would be nice if not.

Uno thought.

Otherwise, such a young child would have to endure the pain of being corroded every minute and every second under the premise of being magnified with negative perceptions, and endure this ugliness that even [self] is completely distorted... It is really too cruel.

Love can support her to persevere.

So after decades of time has passed, what should we do?

Yi Gu is a human being, and his lifespan will eventually come to an end.

And the curse spirit... as long as it is not exorcised, it can survive for thousands of years.

After losing the one he loves, he breaks down, the last trace of humanity is worn away, his soul is completely unsightly, and after he becomes a complete monster, he begins to act on instinct—and the instinct of the curse spirit is exactly the opposite of human beings. .

By then it will be too late.

Life must never be played with.

The dead should return to the place of the dead to sleep peacefully.

This is the law of nature and ethics, and this is the right thing to do.

And Yigu Yuta doesn't have to stay away from the crowd and wander around alone because of Lixiang's relationship.

This is the best ending.

Is it the best ending...?

Or is this just my self-righteous "arrogance" as an adult?

Uo doesn't know.

His thoughts were confused, and he finally handed over the choice to Yi Guyoutai.

Regardless of whether Oto is the cursed person or the cursed person, he is the closest person to Qiben Lixiang after all.

What would you... choose?

Uo couldn't deny that he was looking forward to Otoko Yuta's answer.

"No, no! I absolutely don't want Satoshi to dissipate!"

The answer given by Yi Gu made the black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit a little dazed.

Yi Gu: "Although there is no reason, I always feel that Lixiang became like this probably because of me. I cursed her. No matter what, I will never hurt Lixiang again."

The young man's eyes were red, and he, who had always looked timid, was extremely determined at this time, "I am only 15 years old, and there is still a long time left, so, since I already know the reason why Li Xiang became like this, then even if the curse of Li Xiang has not been lifted now I will continue to search for a solution, and I will continue to search for it... This world is so big, it is too early to draw conclusions."

Yi Gu: "I... like Lixiang the most, so I will never give up on her."

Mr. Curse Spirit was silent.

And Lixiang almost jumped up for joy, and she kept repeating happily: [I like it, Lixiang also likes Yuta——]

Yi Gu turned his head, stretched out his hand for the first time, and lightly grasped Li Xiang's huge fingers.

In exchange for the big change in appearance, the childhood sweetheart reacted extremely happily.

Yi Gu still couldn't help laughing out loud.

Uno: "Even if her existence affects your daily life, is it okay?"

"It's okay." Yi Gu smiled this time with a familiar shyness, "I've... figured it out."

That's Sato.

I like myself the most, and I am also my favorite Li Xiang.

Since Huijun and his curse spirit father can get along normally... he and Lixiang must have a way to achieve a balance, right?

Hope and fighting spirit ignited in Yi Gu, who was once at a loss.

Uso stared at them steadily.

Is there no grudge between the cursed and the cursed...?

Muttering from the bottom of his heart, the black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit finally exhaled, and showed a faint smile full of relief.

so good.

The relationship between these two children is different from my mother and I.

They still love each other, and each survives.

This might really be able to restore the [distortion] caused by the curse.

And the words of my lord mother——

It should be that you hate me, right?

[Uso, why did you kill me? ]*1

There was a dull pain in my mind, and suddenly, unexpectedly, Tsurumi Sachiko's unbelievable and grief-stricken question flashed past.

This voice has appeared countless times in the 50 years since Mao was born in the forbidden area and sealed himself.

……

Uzumaki closed his eyes.

.

After confirming Otoko's thoughts, Ubu decided to temporarily take them back to Yokohama, who had nowhere to go.

He had no other choice, and his current status was not convenient for him to lead the two children to investigate the clues to solve the curse, so after much deliberation, the only way was to ask Wu Tiaowu.

Yi Gu and Li Xiang have a close relationship, and if they want to find a way to unravel the curse, it is absolutely unavoidable to come into contact with the magic world in person.

Before that, training Yi Gu's strength, allowing him to control Lixiang's behavior well, and finding someone to protect him in the magic world... are undoubtedly the most important prerequisites.

Otherwise, these two children will definitely be embarrassed by the upper echelons of the magic world.

Uogi thought about the way of thinking of those in power, and felt a little headache.

Otoko Yuta and Satoka will not live in Kitazawa's house.

Because the current Lixiang is too uncontrollable, not to mention the big mood swings, and the strength is too strong, which can easily hurt people.

So Uo, who is concerned about the safety of his own children, only plans to find a quiet place to rent a house for Yi Gu, and then spend time teaching Yi Gu how to use the magic power, while waiting for Gojo Wu to come back from a business trip.

Two servings of omurice arrived.

After discussing the follow-up matters, Uo sat patiently in his seat, and waited for the hungry Otoko to finish eating before taking someone to take the night Shinkansen to Yokohama.

Hui has no appetite.

With a tangled expression, he poked the omelet with a spoon, finally turned his head, and asked in a low voice, "Father, your technique...isn't there any way to undo Lixiang's curse?"

"Sorry, I can't do it, my technique...isn't that all-powerful."

Uno shook his head, and his tone was as calm as ever, as if he was stating a knowledge point: "The distortion of the soul is a direct result, and the concept of existence of the soul has been fundamentally changed. If it is in the process of transformation, I can stop it The channel of continuous transformation, but the result has been realized, and I can't turn back time..."

Uo: "Simply put, Satoshi's soul has been conceptually changed into the posture of a curse spirit, which is an established [result], rather than some kind of continuous process that can be restored as long as it is terminated, and [the curse] Theoretically, it is the reversal of the soul form after certain conditions are met."*2

This is not a state that can be resolved by killing a certain connection.

Uo had experimented with himself decades ago.

——Isn’t this a rather rare situation?Why do you know so much, Dad?

Hui almost asked.

...but that probably doesn't need to be asked any further.

Hui has always been very bright and sharp.

With such a huge hint of clues, even if he wanted to pretend to be stupid, he couldn't do it.

Hui's long eyelashes trembled.

Like Lixiang, his curse spirit father...was once a human being.

Cursed man.

.

It took only 3 minutes for Otoko Yuta to finish the omurice, and another 3 minutes to finish the portion that Kei Meichi gave him.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the three of them left the coffee shop.

Uno took Yi Gu to the front of the Shinkansen station, and told Hui earnestly as always: "Hui, you should go back early, don't worry your friends too much, be careful on the way back, and contact me if you have anything to do."

Kei, who was still in the confusion, nodded absently.

Mr. Manu Ling looked at his child who had depression, bewilderment and bewilderment written on his face, and couldn't help sighing, then raised his hand gently, and gently rubbed the other's black curly hair.

"Also, Hui."

"Yes?"

"I know you're a smart kid, but don't think about it, it's already in the past." Usheng's voice was low and hoarse, with gentleness and helplessness, "I didn't intend to let any of you notice this matter ……Feel sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize!"

Hui suddenly raised her voice, then pursed her lower lip, her voice was dry, "Father, what happened to your past? Who—" Who and for what...cursed you?

Hui opened her green eyes wide, and looked up at the adult's face firmly.

Uzumaki didn't make a sound.

After a long silence, the black-skinned and white-haired elder reluctantly patted the boy who was staring at him stubbornly.

"Sorry... I'm really sorry, but Kei, can you keep it a secret for me?"

That's the only thing I don't want you to know anyway.

In any case... I don't want to see the alienated look in your eyes.
