Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Chapter 88

At 08:30 in the evening, the urban area is brightly lit.

There is constant traffic on the street, and pedestrians on the sidewalks and overpasses are hurrying.

Seven or eight degrees at night, because it rained not long ago, the humidity is high, and the cold wind keeps blowing, so that the body temperature is even lower, which directly makes people's hands and feet numb.

Probably no one would want to spend too long outside such a place if there was nothing important to do.Even if you go out, you will definitely rush to your destination as soon as possible and return to a warm and windless place.

Marui Fumta shuddered.

He pulled up the collar and tightened his jacket desperately, a little annoyed that he came out in such a hurry that he didn't wear enough clothes... Or the heated room made him misjudge the temperature outside. Get the right clothes right the first time.

But fortunately, they exercise regularly and have good physique, so they can endure it anyway.

At this moment, Marui was looking around.

He looked around, but couldn't find Hui's figure, and finally could only blink blankly and turn his head to look at his little friend.

Marui: "We... lost track?"

"Personally, I think it's more appropriate to use the term "was thrown away."

Liu Lian'er corrected her calmly, then lowered her head and took notes in a swish, and after thinking for a while, she thought: "As expected of Hui, who has been hiding from the sharp-eyed head of the archery department for a year, his anti-reconnaissance and escape abilities are really good. "

"Huh? Have we been discovered?" Marui was shocked: "I obviously hid it so well! Who exposed it!"

"...Marui, where on earth do you have such confidence!"

Especially good at pranks and imitations, as the best hidden among all the members, Nioh Masaharu shook his head, patted Marui on the shoulder, and cruelly exposed the truth: "We will be discovered so quickly, you guys have at least 80% Responsibility."

Marui pointed to himself in shock: "Huh—? Me?"

Marui, who had no idea how much he had exposed on the way, had a look of disbelief.

Liu Lianer: "Marui-kun is indeed very active, but the value of 80% is too exaggerated. After all, Hui's alertness is indeed more than ten percentage points higher than normal people. Without Marui, the probability of us being discovered is not small. Hmm... is Hui the type who is naturally sensitive to sight and the surrounding environment? Or is it an acquired habit?"

"Probably the day after tomorrow?"

Yukimura, who has known Megumi for six or seven years and is already an old friend, thought about it and replied.

Yukimura Seichi knew that Megumin had an older sister and a younger sister.

When he was in elementary school in Kanagawa, he also met Kitazawa Tsumiki, who was one year older, and Kitazawa Chacha, who was one year younger.The three siblings of the Kitazawa family were glittering and well-known existences at the time.

However, as Kei's friend, Yukimura is more fortunate to know the secrets between the three of them.

- They are not related by blood.

What is special about the Kitazawa family is that Yukimura only got some truth from Kei after spending several years with Kei and establishing a deep friendship.

The biological parents of the three people left very early.

It was the gentle and reliable adoptive father who adopted them at the same time.

The adoptive father raised three unrelated children by himself, and with enough love, patience and care, he guided and cultivated them so well one by one.

This is no easy task.

Under Kei's longing description, Yukimura once admired Mr. Kitazawa who had never met.

According to Hui, Mr. Kitazawa often goes out to collect materials, so he often comes back very late.

Yukimura speculates that it may be because of this that, as the only boy in the family other than his father, Kei is so vigilant and pays great attention to self-training.After all, Hui has a strong sense of responsibility and attaches great importance to his family. It is not surprising that he will work so hard to protect his elder sister and younger sister.

But here's the problem -- they've been dumped.

Yukimura Seichi felt quite a headache.

"What should we do now." Marui murmured unhappily, "Are you going to give up?"

"Let's walk along the neighborhood." Genichiro Sanada suggested, "The other party is also walking, so you might meet him if you walk around."

"Then let's divide into two groups." Masaharu Nioh suggested, "Minister and Sanada are in a group, and Marui and Yanagi are in a group. If you find someone on either side, please post a location."

"Well, let's do this. If you still can't find anyone in half an hour, come back. We will meet here at the station."

The five separated and walked together in different directions.

Liu Renji, who is good at analysis, was unanimously pushed out by Marui and Nioh in the same group as the target.

"My data is analyzed based on the intelligence basis. Do you know the intelligence basis?"

Liu Lian'er calmly turned her head and looked at the two behind her, "Without intelligence, even I can't conjure up data for you out of thin air. Hui's action was too sudden, and I don't have the intelligence basis for analysis yet, so I don't Know where Huineng is going."

"Oh, I see, it's good that Liu is responsible for leading the way." Marui said.

Liu Lian Er: No, you don't know at all.

The three of them froze for a long time.

In the end, Nioh pulled out a coin from his pocket.

——No one knows how to go, so they just toss a coin.

Marui's eyes lit up, "Good idea, I will pray with Lord Guardian God now, and let that Lord bless us to catch Hui smoothly!"

The coin was thrown into the air with a crisp sound, and then landed on the back of Nio's hand.

They choose which direction to go according to the heads and tails of the coin.

Then I went around all the way, walked for almost half an hour, and was taken to a strange and remote road by coins.

"Where is this...?" Marui grabbed his friend's arm and swallowed, "Why is there no one—"

Nioh Masaharu was also stiff. As the cold wind blew quietly, he shivered, and he didn't know whether to continue tossing the coin in his hand.

"This is XX Street, but there are several abandoned buildings on this side. It used to be an office building... Ah, there is also a nursing home, but it is empty now. As for the row of houses on the other side, it is a rental house. Probably not rented out, so the neighborhood looks deserted."

Liu Lianer checked the navigation on her mobile phone, and then added, "It's almost nine o'clock, and it's been almost three and ten minutes. It's too far away, and we can't see anyone. Let's go back."

"Wait a minute!" Nioh Masaharu suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the front, "Is that person... is it Hui?"

The three of them immediately hid in a corner, and they all looked forward.

Ahead, a figure exactly like Hui walked forward steadily, and then turned into a dark building.

"Is there anyone in front just now? Where did he come from?" Liu Lian'er asked blankly.

"I didn't notice...but that's Megumi!" Marui lowered his voice excitedly, "I remember his scarf, it was this red color, and the clothes he wore before going out!"

"That guy actually ran to such a remote place alone at night. Really, he has no sense of crisis! Even if there is something important, at least call us... But the coin method really works." King Ni muttered , and then patted the little friend, "Yu, you send Yukimura and the others the location, and we will follow."

The three chased after them.

And the building that "Hui" entered had a crumbling signboard of "Sendai City Senshouki Nursing Center" hanging on the door.

It was the idle nursing home that Liu Lianer mentioned earlier.

.

the other side.

It was 10 minutes before the three of Marui hurriedly chased after the figure of "Mei".

08: 30.

Hui, who just got rid of his little friend, took out a piece of chalk from the shadow. He squatted in the dark alley, and quickly wrote out the magic formula in his mind that he had been told to memorize by the curse father, and then Put your hands together, murmur a mantra, and finally touch your hands to the ground, injecting mantra power into them.

This formation was adapted by Uo according to [Teleportation Formation].

The original [Teleportation Formation] is an acquired formula recorded in the library of a family of conjurers with a certain background.

The principle is probably based on setting an anchor point in a certain place in advance, and then the operator of the spell stays in place and sends other people to the anchor point. *1

But the amount of mana that needs to be consumed is very large, and the amount of consumption increases exponentially with the distance of transmission. In addition, there must be enough accuracy of mana power to use it successfully... Such harsh conditions make this theory convenient [acquired] Spell] has not been able to be widely used.

But Uo is a genius in [skills].

Just like when he pretended to go out for the first time back then, adapted the spell principle of [Account], and created a suggestive interference technique to cover up his abnormalities, he adapted and created it again according to his own needs and existing conditions. There is a new formation.

According to the particularity of the Hui spell, the super-level spell spirit actively and unconditionally concluded a contract with Hui, and reversed the magic power consumption of the adapted summoning formation to the contracted self.

To put it simply, as long as Hui draws the formation, uses the magic power as an introduction to activate the spell, and calls Uo's name through the contract, the magic spirit can consume its own magic power to come to Hui's side.

For the 13-year-old Hui, it was huge enough to consume almost two-thirds of his mana reserve, but it was insignificant when it was replaced by Mr. Mantra, who had a mana reserve as deep as the bottomless sea. .

Uno frowned slightly as soon as he landed. He took a step forward and raised his hand to tidy up the scarf that Kei had casually put around his neck.The man who was as tall as a hill was extremely gentle and ingenious. He blocked the place where the scarf didn't cover and the air leaked tightly, and then touched his child's head.

With no outsiders around, Hui squinted her eyes and obediently rubbed against the warm palm of the adult.

Afterwards, Uzo, who was as breathless as a ghost, turned back into "Mr. Air" again.

Hui wiped off the traces of chalk on the ground, and went to the place where he had agreed to meet with Yi Gu.

.

45:[-] p.m.

Hui, who arrived 15 minutes earlier, opened the door of the cafe.

It was very quiet inside, there were not many customers, and the air was filled with the unique aroma of coffee.

Hui didn't expect Yi Gu to arrive earlier than him.

The other party sitting in the last row hurriedly stood up and waved to Hui at the door, with a huge curse on his body as always.

Mr. Curling, who sank into Hui's shadow before entering the door, couldn't help frowning, and looked up.

There is a great prejudice against the existence of the curse spirit——Usheng, who doesn't even let him go, is full of vigilance in his heart.

His bony tail, which was always restrained by bony spurs, slightly exploded the sharp part, hanging behind him like a beast in ambush, motionless.The dark red eyes looked like they would flash a sapphire blue light with iridescent light at any moment.

In the coffee shop, two black-haired teenagers sat down facing each other.

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

Yi Gu was at a loss, while Hui was observing.

To put it bluntly, the breath on Yi Gu's body is still quite terrifying.

The special curse named [Lixiang] was almost entangled in the other party's soul, so sticky that it couldn't be peeled off, and unscrupulously expressed unpleasantness to Hui-by using breath to scare people.

But this time, Kei was clearly not intimidated.

In his shadow, there is the curse spirit father by his side, which is a sense of security that surpasses everything else.

Just at this time, the waiter came over and the other party handed over the menu.

Hui thought about the small box of rice-only bento that Yi Gu held in his arms today, and asked the other party if he wanted something to eat.

"I asked you out, let me pay the bill this time." Hui opened her green eyes and said so naturally.

Yi Gu, who didn't have much money left in his wallet, guessed the other party's kindness, and his heart was slightly touched again, and he couldn't help but raise a shy smile.But because he didn't want the other party to spend money, Yi Gu originally planned to shake his head and decline.

However, after hearing that there was food, the unsatisfied stomach gurgled a few times in disappointment.

Yi Gu Youta's face turned red with a bang: "..."

Hui blinked slowly, pretending not to hear.He flipped through the menu, helping others with a natural expression: "There are not many foods in the cafe, most of them are dim sum, and I didn't have dinner, so why don't I eat the staple food... Is the signature omelet rice okay?"

"Omelet rice is enough...Thank you very much." Yi Gu Youtai covered his face and whispered sincerely.

"Don't you need anything else?" Hui handed over the menu.

Yi Gu shook his head, but didn't answer.

"Hmm...does Senior Yi Bone hate milk?"

"Huh? No, no."

Hui returned the menu to the waiter, and said politely: "Then two omelet rice, and two cups of hot milk, please."

Hui actually had dinner, he wasn't hungry, he just wanted to order a cup of hot drink.

But he thought that if Yi Gu ate alone and he watched him, the other party might be a little embarrassed, so he simply ordered two portions and ate one piece.

Hot milk was served.

Putting his hands on the glass, he took a sip, and the liquid at just the right temperature fell down the throat into his stomach, warming his whole body a lot.

And their topic finally got down to business.

Hui took the lead in asking Yi Gu about his understanding of curse spirits.

After learning that the other party was not from a family of conjurers and that his family members were just ordinary people, and that his own understanding of curses was limited to observation, Kei simply explained curses and concepts and things in the world of conjuration to the other party.

Then tactfully asked about the origin of the super curse spirit [Li Xiang] who was following the other party.
