Curse of the Eye of the Dead

There is too much debris on the ground.

Paper, shards of glass, wooden boards, iron shelves... are in a mess, and if you are not careful, you will be bumped and stepped on, and then there will be noise.

The three of Marui hid under the hospital bed and huddled together, their pupils dilated tacitly because of fear.

At this moment, they were tense all over, covering their mouths, not daring to move, for fear of accidentally causing any movement.

because--

"The ward round... the ward round..."

The huge purple monster before suddenly appeared in this room without warning.

It kept repeating this sentence in its mouth, while staggering around the room.

The three people hiding under the bed curled up desperately. Their eyes were fixed on the pair of monster feet that were constantly moving back and forth under the bed, and they were always paying attention to each other's position. At the same time, their heartbeats became faster and faster. quick.

.

Inside this peculiar space, [doors] are disorganized.

The floors and locations on both sides of each door are completely distorted by unknown forces. With the different directions of entry and exit, the arrival locations are also different.

For example: the door on the first floor opens to the outside of the innermost room on the fourth floor.And entering from the outside of the corridor of No. 106 activity room leads to the interior of Ward No. 303 on the third floor.And from the door of Ward 303 to the outside, the door to Room 401 is again...

Compared with Nioh and Marui who were scared and had trouble concentrating, Yanagi Renji, who was better at thinking calmly, came to a conclusion seriously after several careful experiments.

Liu Lianer told the two friends about her records: "According to this logic, there should be a door connected to the real exit... Do you remember? We were planning to go out through the outermost iron gate when we suddenly went out." It was teleported in suddenly, so there must be a door inside this building that can reach the iron gate."

Liu Lian'er's speculation gave the other two hope.

Liu, who is currently the most sensible among the three, looked into the eyes of his companions and stated in a low voice: "The only way we can find that door now is to follow closely, and we must not disperse. In addition, the three of us also Pay attention to your surroundings, and once you find danger, run away to save your life... In any case, we can't just sit and wait for death. After all, we want to wait for the possibility of rescue in this weird situation, which seems to be involved in the world of monsters at the time of encountering demons in legends. too low."

Even if Yukimura and Kei found out that the three of them had lost contact, came here, and called the police... it would be almost impossible to find out that they were involved in such a weird thing, right?

According to the logic of normal people, it will only be considered as kidnapping, abduction, running away from home and so on.

No.

Before that, Liu Renji was even more worried that Yukimura and the others would be involved in this kind of place unfortunately when they came here.

Ahh, I should have been more vigilant when I suspected that the figure was not "Mei".Now that I think about it, that figure is actually the bait of a ghost, right?

If they were really involved...

Liu Lian thought twice: I probably won't die with peace in my eyes.

And what Liu was worried about, Nioh and Marui quickly thought of it.

The three of them were uneasy, fearful and worried, and finally looked at each other, making up their minds.

No matter what, you have to escape quickly.

Wanting to go home, wanting to see family and friends, wanting to live on.

I also want to prevent other partners from approaching here.

So they mustered up their courage and began to move and explore cautiously.Risking his life, trying to find the only way to the outside world and hope in this building with countless doors.

This is quite a dangerous move.

There are monsters inside this building, and I don't know how many there are... Moreover, the teleportation of the door is random, which means that they are likely to bump into those horrible things head-on when they carefully open a door .

Or--

Just arrived in a room, and when they realized that the three people who were not the exit were about to leave through the door...the doorknob suddenly made a "click" sound without authorization.

Someone... or something else, is trying to open the door at another corresponding location.

The three of Marui were able to move through the door, so it was only natural that the monster that lived here could.

Unfortunately, before the three of them left, the door was held by a monster from the other side.

In the room, this completely enclosed interior, there is only one exit through the door—the windows are locked, the glass cannot be broken no matter what, and there is thick fog outside.In this case, once the door is occupied by monsters, they are almost equivalent to a turtle in an urn.

The three of them hid under the bed in time.

However, the dark purple monster I had seen before also opened the door and walked in in the next second.

"The ward round... the ward round..."

The monster kept repeating, the voice was as hoarse and unpleasant as the howling of the north wind.It walked up and down the room, just as it kept saying: like a doctor doing rounds.

The breathless teenagers kept praying for the other party to leave quickly, but——

"It's rounds..."

The dark purple monster wandered around, and suddenly stood firmly beside the bed.

Under the ominous premonition of the three, the monster suddenly bent its body to one side as if there was no backbone, and its body instantly appeared in an inverted U shape, and its bulging eyeballs moved 360° in the eye sockets. It was fixed on the three people under the bed.

"It's rounds..."

The monster opened its mouth full of thorns, and under the terrified eyes of the teenagers, it spoke slowly in a long voice.

.

"Yukimura, let's go!!"

The other side.

Yukimura and Sanada, who followed the false figure of "Marui" into this nursing home, finally followed in the footsteps of their friends, and were unfortunately chased by monsters from the very beginning.

Sanada Genichiro relied on an iron pipe he picked up from the ground to swing fiercely at the curse spirit in front of him. He has been practicing traditional kendo since he was a child, and his movements were swift and fierce. Hit down.

However, there is no obvious effect.

A curse can only be removed with a curse.

People without curse power and weapons without curses cannot cause substantial damage to curse spirits.

Therefore, even if the hands and feet were smashed and the body was pierced by ordinary people with ordinary weapons, the curse spirit would automatically recover without any effort or loss.

Ordinary people who have no means of attack face monsters, in a closed space where they cannot escape, it is really too desperate.

Sanada, who was still a junior high school student, was equally frightened and uneasy.

However, he realized the will of swordsmanship since he was a child and his own side of emphasizing love and righteousness made him stand in front of his friends without flinching.

He shouted to Yukimura behind him, but he accidentally cut his arm by the claws of the magic spirit.

Curses can be transmitted to humans through wounds.

Conjurers have the power of curses, so they can resist the erosion of curses, but ordinary people can't do it. If they don't deal with it professionally, they will only die a little bit after being infected. *1

Along the wound, small swellings bulged up on Sanada's arm... no, not swellings, but trembling eyeballs.

Yukimura turned around and ran a few steps, then quickly picked up a wooden stick that was suspected to be the remains of a table leg, and then lifted it up. He threw the two rusty iron nails in the air, and then used all his strength to be accurate concentration.

The nails went into both of the monster's eyeballs.

Although it can be restored instantly within a few seconds, the vision will disappear for a short time if you can't stand it.

Yukimura took the opportunity to drag Sanada into a door, which sent them to the largest activity room in the nursing home.

There are front and rear doors.

In the process of fleeing, Yukimura had already guessed that [door entry and exit will arrive at different places respectively] without hesitation, he led his friends back to the original road and opened the distance directly, but he did not expect that the back door next door was hurriedly opened by the other side. The three Marui who fled in pushed away.

"Minister!?" Nioh subconsciously exclaimed with Marui, whose face was covered with a curse and his leg was injured.

Yukimura opened his eyes wide, "Yanagi, Marui, Nioh!?"

Can't wait for the surprise, the expressions of both sides froze.

The two groups of people who were being chased by the monster stopped subconsciously for a moment, and the two monsters that followed blocked the only way out of the room, one on the left and one on the right.

...! !

The two groups of people kept moving closer to each other, sweating profusely.

Sanada subconsciously wanted to find a weapon, but there was no suitable target.

For a moment, everyone felt unspeakable despair in their hearts.

But the next second—

boom! !

A loud bang.

The back door of the room was completely destroyed by a huge force.

Debris was flying all over the sky, and opposite the door frame that had no door but was still functioning, two figures rushed in silently and swiftly back and forth.

They were two huge, majestic black and white dogs like wolf kings.

The labyrinth-like chaotic domain inside is completely unobstructed to the canine shikigami who has top-notch talent in exploration.They accurately broke through the interference of the chaotic space, and brought their masters to the side of the rescue target at the critical moment.

The moment the white dog rushed in, it opened its fangs, its expression was completely different from usual ferocity and vigilance,

With a low growl, the white dog's sharp claws, which are not inferior to swords, left three wounds on the nearest huge dark purple curse spirit that almost tore it apart, and the black dog then swooped forward. Bite it with its fangs, and the terrifying bite force and tearing ability forcibly ripped open the belly of this second-level curse spirit.

The incident happened so unexpectedly that the teenagers all opened their eyes wide in a daze, staring blankly at the two majestic... wolves?or a dog?

This is what saved us?

"Wait a minute, is there another monster?"

King Ni was looking around nervously, and when they were attracted by the intrusion of the jade dogs, another monster that was supposed to be here disappeared.

No, to be precise——

The reptilian genie moved to the ceiling.

Curse opened its protruding eyeballs like goldfish, and watched the teenagers below with malice. When all of them were distracted, Curse's mouth was pulled several times bigger like a python, and then turned towards the teenagers below. People bite away.

"Above!!!" Sanada suddenly raised his head, his pupils dilated, and shouted, "Get out of here——"

The jade dogs looked up, but there was no immediate rescue.

Because behind the jade dog, the green-eyed young man who ran all the way and had noticed the movement of the curse spirit calmed down for a long time, and was ready for rescue.

He immediately mobilized his spell power, and the shadow stream on the ground surged up instantly, turning into a bow and arrow in his hands.

Bowstring full, aim.

Shikigami's eyes are calm and sharp like the excellent hunter in hunting.

Without hesitation, he let go of the bowstring, and the jet-black shadow arrow that pierced through the air pierced the last curse with a "swish".

This series of actions is completed in just one second.

The shadow thorn that exploded instantly after the arrow body hit the target completely exorcised the curse.
