Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Chapter 141

Hui silently recalled the encouraging look of Uosheng's father before going out, and the words of "Come on, be patient, and get along well with others" as he patted himself on the shoulder earnestly.

He was still confused at first, what kind of wonderful request was that "be patient".

...So that's the case!

dad--! !

His whole body was tense like a cat with fried hair sticking out of the plane's ears, and Hui almost called Papa Cursing on the spot to protest.

Doorway.

Maki dragged the adult who was also tense, almost using all her strength.

The arm muscles under her uniform swelled, and blue veins popped faintly.The sassy girl showed her white teeth and smiled brightly, but her voice sounded like a devil's whisper in Shi Er's ears: "Er, teacher, teacher, they are all at the door, so you don't want to release the students, right? "

Shir: "..."

——I never promised to come!

I died long ago so I don’t need to eat. I followed you because you were so annoyed to death. Damn it, I taught you physical skills for nothing. Maki, you actually plot against me!

Shi Er almost quarreled with his cousin who was a generation behind in age again, but under Hui's gaze, he rarely lost his resistance, and when he recovered, he found that he was forcibly pulled in the door.

Then there was a "touch".

The door is locked.

It's like the déjà vu of the gates of hell slowly closing.

There is no chance of escape.

.

The hot pot is rolling and bubbling.

The ingredients that need to be cooked for a long time have been thrown in in advance, and the main course in the pot is almost ready while eating the delicious appetizer brought by Hui.

"Wagyu beef can be eaten in a few seconds, and it is really top-notch when served with hot spring eggs."

"Salmon salmon."

"The appetizers look good too."

"It's not inferior to high-end restaurants."

"Hmm..." The dog nodded with puffy cheeks.

Compared with Maki and Goujuan, who started to eat and drink in a lively manner, and Panda, who didn’t need to eat or feel greedy, and just wanted to get together with everyone so he came here, Yi Guqian, who has a more sensitive sense of atmosphere and is more gentle He looked at his classmates from the left, and then at the expressionless Hui and Shier to the right... and the two big dogs behind Hui, with a bit embarrassed expression.

After Shi Er entered the room, Hui called out the Jade Dogs under the surprised gazes of Panda and Goujuan.

Guard dogs...?

This word popped up in the minds of the students with question marks all over their faces.

Then I sighed: Wow, the relationship between these two people is really bad.

Yi Gu struggled for a while, and finally thought of an excuse to break the dead silence on the other side.

"Well, that, Megumin, would you like your Shikigami to eat something too? We have prepared a lot of ingredients for today."

"What are you talking about, Yuta, shikigami don't need to eat!"

Just as Maki raised her eyebrows and finished her vows, when she turned her head, she saw the white jade dog's mouth slowly dripping down.

Maki: "...?"

Huiergen, who followed Maki's gaze and turned his head to look at the past, was a little red: "..."

He quickly took out a tissue to wipe the dog's mouth, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, my family usually likes to feed them, so I have been used to the problem of gluttony..."

Maki: "There is no such thing as raising a shikigami. Well, anyway, there are a lot of ingredients. If you eat enough, there may be leftovers. Hui, you can share a bowl with them both."

The dogs' tails cocked up with a swish.

Hui rubbed the heads of the jade dogs, thanked them, then went to get a bowl and put some meat in it, washed it with clean water and distributed it to them.

Huizai, who is always more gentle and patient with animals, fed the dog carefully. During this period, Maki kept kicking Shier with her feet.

Shi Er looked over expressionlessly.

Maki smacks her lips: Tell me something——!

Shir: ...

The panda is also exaggerating: Come on, Shier!

The dog roll nodded.

Shir: ...you bastards.

A man as big as Bai Chang propped his face, passively resisting with Zhenxi's expression of hating iron and steel.

——It wasn't until he quietly rolled his eyeballs, and inadvertently saw Hui's gentle profile when feeding the dog, that he paused.

In a daze, Shier seemed to see the figure of his wife who died young.

Although Maki said that Hui and Shier looked alike, in the eyes of the latter, Hui was actually more similar to his biological mother.

shouldn't have come.

Shi Er let out a breath, his eyes thinking emptyly.

.

In the end, Shi Er basically became the background board, but a group of students got along harmoniously.

Hui is very polite and has a good personality. Both the dog roll and the panda are willing to take care of each other.Therefore, before entering school, Hui was successfully recognized by her seniors.

This is a great potluck.

It's just that Maki's other goal has not been achieved.

What a real dish, Shir.

If this continues, there will be no progress.

Maki drank the soda in one gulp, thinking uncomfortably.

She decided to make one last effort, but if it didn't work, she would no longer care about these two idiots.

Maki wiped her mouth, then stood up, put one hand on her hips, and said: "Ah, I'm full, and it's getting late, so I'll go first, boys, you are responsible for cleaning up the follow-up... Hey , Panda, don’t even think about washing dishes with your hairy hands, take me back to the girls’ dormitory.”

Maki said, and then slapped the dog on the back.

Gou Juanji was blessed, and immediately pointed out the window: "Tuna mayonnaise...!"

Then when Yi Gu and Hui subconsciously turned their heads to look over, the spellcaster who couldn't communicate normally jumped up and slipped away.

Maki: "Thumb, don't try to be lazy! The panda is gone, let's catch him."

Maki dragged the panda and slipped away.

In the end, only Bone was left.

Yi Gu realized something with hindsight.

Yi Gu's expression gradually stiffened: Eh, eh?Am I also looking for some excuse to leave?

As soon as he felt at a loss, his phone vibrated.

Looking down, his eyes lit up.Yi Gu looked left and right, and quickly picked up the coat left by the dog roll.

"Student Goujuan's clothes fell off, I will return them to him—"

benefit:……

The location of the high school is very remote, the most rural place in the suburbs of Tokyo.At this point in time, it is too late to walk to the nearest bus stop.

Kei, who couldn't escape because she had to stay overnight, sighed, and got up to help clean up the mess.

Shi Er thought it would be better for him to leave too.

But before he could stand up, Hui's voice sounded.

"Hey, you bastard." After packing up the extra food, Hui did not raise his head to wash the dishes, and asked seemingly casually, "Why did you die that year?"

.

For the normal life of enrolling next year, also to avoid worrying Uno's father, and to live up to the kindness of the seniors.

Compared to the good-for-nothing who can only escape, Megumi, who is braver and more assertive, finally gave in and started the conversation.

——He didn't want to struggle with this man for another four years in his four-year college study career.

Hui just wanted to know some answers, and then let go of himself.

Shi'er, who was accosted, opened his eyes wide.

He was silent for a few seconds, and finally clicked his tongue:

"Let's say it's my own fault. After all, I used to be a killer. I was black from head to toe. Isn't there such a saying? Killers always kill them, and it's normal for me to die."

"Died in 07?"

"Well, it seems so? Gojo Satoru told you?"

"..."

Shi Er looked at Hui's back, didn't wait for the next sentence for a long time, and finally looked away.

He pulled the silly-looking white jade dog over to play with it, and then said slowly: "If you have any questions, just ask directly. I'm in a good mood today, so I should answer well."

Hui's forehead tensed up with blue veins: "Isn't it you who should take the initiative to explain something?"

"I don't know what to say for a while, so you should ask."

benefit:……

The young shikigami took a deep breath.

He turned off the water, wiped his hands, then turned his head, staring sharply at the adults who only cared about playing with the dog.

"Then I'll ask directly." With a questioning tone, Hui hit the point: "Mr. Gotiao said, you sold me to a Buddhist monk when I was very young. Why?"

Fu Heisher died in July and August of 07. At that time, Hui was more than three and a half years old, and he only turned four years old at the end of the year.

In other words, he had already discussed the deal with the Chanyuan family before that.

for money?

In order to get rid of his own burden?

No matter what the reason is, Kei will accept it.

He just wants to get the truth.

It's like how many orphans in orphanages grow up and reunite with their biological parents, and they can't help but want to know the reason for being abandoned.

It's like an instinctive impulse that traces its origin.

.

Shi'er sat cross-legged on the ground, touched the back of his neck irritably, but did not give an answer for a long time.

Why sell Hui?

It can be said that he did it for money—after all, conjurers are still very rare, and Hui is very talented. The Chanyuan family is known to value talented magicians and powerful spells. When discussing at the time, both It is in units of millions and billions.

But is Shire short of money?

Lack is lack, but he comes to the money quickly.

After all, the few super magic tools that Shier once held were already worth billions, and this did not include the price of other scattered magic tools.If everything is counted, it is estimated that there are nearly [-] billion yen... This is not counting the money he exported from gambling.

Therefore, the highest amount that was negotiated at that time did not actually mean much to the former Shier.

So what is the real reason?

that is because--

"...If you stay by my side, you will become as bad as me."

Just when Hui didn't get a reply for a long time and decided to give up communicating, the man's inaudible voice sounded quietly.

Hui was taken aback, then turned to look at him.

Just as he had promised to "answer well", Fu Heisher opened his mouth after getting annoyed.

No matter how vague the voice is, it can be regarded as a rare confession of this complicated and terrible man.

"I knew it when you were more than one year old. You have 100% magic power, and you are not weak."

"So, although the Chanyuan family is nothing more than a garbage dump in my eyes, if you awaken the spell... it will always be better than other places."*1

For "non-magic masters", Chanyuan homes are undoubtedly hell.

But for the "magician", it is completely different.

——If the innate technique is good enough, then you can get the best materials and the best treatment, and you can be admired and grow up with privileges.

This is the so-called Chanyuan Family, and this is the so-called Yusan Family.

Shi Er: "Guys like me who haven't changed their willpower, and don't know how to take care of others, are undoubtedly doomed to not have a good death, and may die at any time, ah, the fact is true... So, if you follow me If you don’t, you won’t live to be that big at all.”

It won't be as good as it is now.

.

Fu Heisher can't take care of people, let alone love.

Because his short life was a life without dignity and unloved.

For more than ten years in the Chanyuan family, this man was worthless and a shame that death was not a pity.

Including his biological father and mother, no one has ever loved him during his days at the Chanyuan family.

I have never felt love, so I don't know how to love, let alone how to express it.

What changed him was when Shier left the Buddhist monastery as an adult and met Hui's mother.

That was the only woman who ever shook Shir.

The once sharp edges and corners were all smoothed by the other party, so that Shier had the idea that "it's not bad to live in peace like this".

He is nostalgic for the nature and love of the other party, as well as the purest happiness when the child is born.

Shi Er once thought that he would be able to usher in happiness in this way, that he could learn the feelings he had lost and make up for his flawed personality in the new family.

However, his wife died of illness not long after the birth of the child.

Like a flash in the pan, it has disappeared before it has time to recollect.

The feeling of the redemption obtained was too painful to dissipate from his hands, so that Shier could no longer give his sincerity and expectation for the second time.

- As long as there is no expectation, there will be no disappointment.

But without a life to look forward to, there is no hope.

So much so that this man who had no self-help intention finally fell to this point, and ended his terrible life in a short and ridiculous way.

Therefore, the reason for selling Hui is simple.

This man knew how bad he was, how hopeless, guilty, and unreliable he was.

Therefore, he will choose to send the child to the best place he can prepare for.

Even before Hui Shushi was awakened, he fully considered all possibilities, and reached an "extra agreement" with the head of the Chanyuan family in advance, trying to get the best possible result for Hui's future life.

If it's just an ordinary technique, at least Hui should be given better living materials.

If it is an ancestral technique, then the Chanyuan family must welcome Hui back home, appoint him as the next Patriarch, and transfer all the inheritance to Hui after the death of the current Patriarch. *2

in the case of……

Is this love?

Shir couldn't figure it out.

"Mei, please."

The entrustment of his wife before she died pops up from time to time, and after making all these arrangements, Shi Er, who is no longer troubled by memories, thinks dullly——

Maybe it's just to make the sound and picture disappear in my mind?
