Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Chapter 128

Japan has private ownership of land.

Even the famous Mount Fuji, which is regarded as a national symbol, has private ownership.For this reason, the Japanese government even pays a huge amount of rental fees to Asama Shrine, the current owner of Mount Fuji, every year.

Therefore, for this country, it is not incomprehensible that an entire mountain or thousands of square meters of forest land is owned by someone or a certain family.

It is worth mentioning that, except for famous mountains like Mount Fuji, ordinary mountains in Japan are not expensive, and most ordinary people can afford them, but many people are not interested.

The price of mountains mainly depends on the land area and the type and quantity of forests. The ordinary mountain forest land is very cheap, about a few hundred yen per ping, but the price of trees is much higher.Generally speaking, it is very common in the Kanto area that you can buy mountain and forest land for hundreds of thousands of yen. *1

The Ishizawa family is rich.

Although there is no way to compare with the chaebols, they are also genuine rich people.

He bought a moderately priced hill on the outskirts of Tokyo. Since the four of them drove to the foot of the mountain, all the area visible to the naked eye was under the name of Ishizawa.

Growing up in the seaside area of ​​the port city of Yokohama, the farthest their parents traveled before their death was a city park, and the siblings hunched over windows like two curious kittens.

"That's amazing! Is this all the land of Aunt Mio and Uncle Yingsong?"

"Well, this mountain will also be the home of Miri and Yusuke in the future, so it's fine to stay here forever."

"Are there any cherry blossom trees here? Will there be a large rain of cherry blossoms in spring?" Yusuke asked excitedly.

Mr. Ishizawa, who was driving the car, replied: "There are no cherry trees in the woods, but we have transplanted one in the courtyard of our villa. Although it is still very slender, the flowers bloom very, very lushly in spring."

"I want to see the red leaf forest more..." Miri whispered, her eyes expecting, "Aunt Mio, will the leaves here turn red?"

"Yes, when I bought this mountain a few years ago, the agent said that a large part of it is full of trees with red leaves in autumn, which is very suitable for viewing." Ishizawa Mio said this slightly Looking at her own face, the woman in her 30s is still full of longing like a girl, "I like coming here in autumn the most."

Autumn in Japan is long, and the fiery red leaves like waves have long been a sight of this country. The Meteorological Bureau even seriously releases the "Frontline of Red Leaves" to the whole country every year.

Mr. Ishizawa likes cherry blossoms, and for Mrs. Ishizawa, the golden and red mountains and fields every autumn make her blood boil even more.

Like rays of light, like flames, and like blood.

Six-year-old Miri imagined such a scene, her eyes lit up, "I really want to see it."

"I'll go with you!" Yusuke raised a smile and showed his white teeth, "It's already August, summer will be over soon, and when autumn... let's see the red leaf forest together."

"Can you?" Miri blushed slightly, and the child who had been almost completely tamed this month looked at the gentle Mrs. Ishizawa, "Auntie Mio and Uncle Hidematsu will be free?"

Mrs. Ishizawa: "Whether it's autumn, winter, or next spring... you can all look at this forest."

Mr. Ishizawa: "You will never miss the golden autumn moment."

"That's an agreement, Miri." Yusuke rubbed his sister in his arms, his eyes bent into crescent moons, "We're going to see the red-leaved forest together in autumn."

Miri raised a happy smile and gave a serious "hmm".

Two and a half hours.

The Ishizawa couple finally arrived at their destination and got out of the car. They stood on both sides of the two children, and walked into the brand new villa with two and a half floors.

.

35:[-] p.m.

With the cheers of the audience, the final champion of the National Middle School Tennis Competition was finally announced.

Known as the king of junior high school tennis, Li Hai successfully won the unprecedented three consecutive titles.

With such an explosive record, Li Hai, who had just walked out of the arena after winning the award, was overwhelmed by the reporters' flashlights. Tennis Weekly reporters from all over the country enthusiastically handed the microphone as far as possible.

"Yukimura-san, please share your reflections! Lihai University has won the national championship for three consecutive times, how do you feel now? Please evaluate your performance today!"

"Sanada, as far as I know, your current main selection team is basically all third-year students... May I ask if you are worried about the strength of Lihai University's freshmen next year?"

"Kitazawa-san, what do you think of the general tennis fans' evaluation of your mascot that brought victory to Rikkai University?"

benefit:……

Chacha stood on tiptoe to look left and right, then bent down to try to find an approaching angle, and finally watched for a long while. Looking at the group of besieged teenagers, she touched her chin, keenly judging that they might not be able to escape in a short time Lose.

Between going to help (with a high probability of being blocked together) and taking a step ahead, Chacha chose the latter without hesitation.

I'm sorry, Kei-kun, Yukimura-kun, and other seniors!

Please do your best!

Chacha didn't forget to call her brother while she was running. She looked around and said, "Are you planning to have a dinner together? Do you want me to reserve a place for you nearby? There are quite a lot of people now, so don't make a reservation in advance, probably around the place." The catering industry is almost full, speaking of which, I checked the map of the neighborhood yesterday and found a famous roasted bird restaurant... Oh, I planned to give it a try when I came here today."

Hui, who was trying to find a breakthrough to lead everyone to run together, replied with a headache: "No, Sanada has already reserved a store in Yokohama, and we will go directly back to Yokohama."

"Then I'll go eat roasted birds by myself." Chacha said cheerfully, "Miss Jin Meiji just sent me a text message, and my father fumbled all afternoon, and I haven't finished writing a third of the manuscript, so I won't delay He worked overtime."

"Sure enough... I see." It's not the first time that Chacha has come to Tokyo to watch him compete, and Hui nodded quite accustomed to Chacha's visits to Tokyo stores after every match, "After eating, remember Go home early, don't stay out too late."

"OK, I know."

After Chacha finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

She bounced and followed the navigation to the burning bird shop.

After today, she was extremely thankful that she didn't follow her brother back to Yokohama immediately.

On the same day, at six twelve in the afternoon.

Finally, I saw that Chacha from the bird burning shop a hundred meters away was just about to trot over, when the bone chain on her wrist suddenly turned into a tiny bone snake, restlessly arching the girl's wrist with the snake's head.

Megumin, who had just boarded the Shinkansen, also looked down at his wrist at the same moment.

.

A few minutes ago, Yokohama.

Unsurprisingly, Uno, who watched the whole game of Kei in the room from the perspective of the bone family, only moved less than [-] words.

During the period, Tsumiki delivered tea and snacks (made by Editor Hiramatsu himself) twice. By the way, he secretly glanced at his father's progress, and then fell silent. After going downstairs, he didn't know how to face the expectant Editor Hiramatsu.

Your teacher Kakuo is fishing for fish... If you say this, will Editor Hiramatsu cry out again?

Tsumiki: Thinking about the previous few times, no matter how you think about it, the answer is always in the direction of YES.

"Ozu Miki, that, teacher's progress..."

"I'm still conceiving very seriously. After all, creators will inevitably have a shortage of inspiration."

Tsumiji tried hard to cover up her conscience, she was not good at lying, she felt that she was reading the lines well, "But my father said that I already have an idea, should editor Hiramatsu come back tomorrow? I will definitely hand in the manuscript by tomorrow... ..."

Editor Hiramatsu, who was kneeling in front of Tsumiki, blinked, but his shoulders drooped a little bit.

Uo, who didn't know that his eldest daughter was trying to cover herself, was trying to sort out the ideas of the new chapter on the manuscript paper.

If you touch fish for too long, it will really affect your concentration in the later stage.

Just when he was thinking hard about an idea and was planning to write an outline... Uosheng faintly heard a familiar voice.

It's not that I heard the conversation of editor Tsumiji and Pingmatsu downstairs, or the movement outside the window.

But -

Like during the "Dragon Head War", the voice of the "Guardian God" was heard by the desperate person calling out the name of the "Guardian God" with strong negative emotions.

Today, which was supposed to be full of joy and joy and as peaceful as ever, was broken by unexpected bad news at dusk.

.

This is a new ability that has changed a little bit because of the legend of "Guardian God".

After an initial bewilderment, Uo found a way to take control.

——You can choose to filter the listening objects independently, or you can limit the scope.

Usheng has always limited the scope to the surrounding areas.

Because he is not good at long-distance and fast movement, there is no way to worry about being too far away.

Of course, there are exceptions.

For example, his children, the few friends he can trust, and the ordinary people who left a deep impression on him even if he got along with him a few times... For example, the pair of twins.

No matter how far away their voices and appeals are, Uo will listen to them.

but.

No matter how hard you try to master this new ability, there is one limitation that cannot be changed from beginning to end.

——"Only calls that are desperate enough, or filled with other negative emotions, can reach his ears."

After all, Uo is a curse spirit.

His current body is a shell completely constructed of negative emotions.

This also leads to an extremely sharp and painful problem.

Kitazawa Uo could only hear the calls and prayers from "Desperate Situation".

Then...he had to face the cruelty of "too late".

Just like during the "Dragon Head War", there were far more trapped people calling the name of the "Guardian God" than the people he rescued.

There are always times when it is too late.

And nothing makes Uo more sad and miserable than powerlessness.

Especially - the voice calling him this time came from the outskirts of another city far away.

It was the familiar sobbing voice of a young girl.

It seemed that he kept calling until his voice became hoarse, and finally he had enough "despair" to transmit his voice to the ears of the curse spirit in another city.

"For...why?"

"Master Guardian God, Mom, Dad..."

"Save brother, save me, why would Aunt Mio and Uncle Yingsong--Master Guardian God, Lord God..."

With a crying voice that was almost out of breath, as well as fear that made him tremble constantly, and full of disbelief.

Miri...?

Instantly aware of the owner of the voice, Uogi dropped the pen in his hand, and his red eyes slowly widened as if blood had frozen.

He stood up suddenly, and ignored the chair being knocked off the ground.

Then there was a boy's voice.

"Master Guardian God... Please bless Miri to escape, heavenly parents, please watch Miri, please, please, please—"

He was panting in pain.

His heart was filled with fear, and his voice was much, much weaker than that of Miri.

Yusuke...?

Wait, what's going on here?

what happened?

The incident was so sudden that Uno was so shocked that he was stunned for a moment because he was unprepared.After returning to his senses, his expression suddenly became serious.

where are they--?

Uo, who can only vaguely perceive the direction and rough distance of the believers calling him, doesn't even know where the two children are.

But make no mistake, far.

His imprecise distance perception was blurred a lot because of the too long distance.

That is by no means a distance that Uogi can reach in a short time by himself.

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit became confused. He stretched and closed his hands, and then covered his face, forcing himself to calm down.

Then he pursed his lips and thought quickly.

.

Tokyo.

Without hesitation, Chacha kicked a gangster away at the door of the Yakitori shop, and snatched the opponent's motorcycle.

"Hey--"

"I'm very sorry, but it's an emergency, please lend me the motorcycle, and I will return it to you at the door of this store at the same time tomorrow!!"

Chacha, who was wearing shorts and short sleeves, straddled her legs and flicked her high ponytail. With sharp eyes like a knife and an extremely serious tone, she quickly finished speaking, then twisted the handle of the motorcycle and rushed out at full speed.

The locomotive made a deafening roar, and passers-by couldn't help but stare at the "robbery" scene in a short moment.

Chacha doesn't care about the reactions and opinions of the people around her.

At this time, a bone snake was wrapped around her neck. The tip of the bone snake's tail was pointing forward, and it changed direction from time to time—obviously showing Chacha the way.

Although the exact location of Miri and Yusuke is unknown, they were adopted by a family in Tokyo last month.

Based on this, apart from Kei, who couldn't get on and off the Shinkansen and anxiously kept looking at the distance to the next stop, Chacha, who was still in the Tokyo area and was obviously closer to the two children than any of them, became the best. Candidates for action.

"Don't approach impulsively, you don't know what's going on over there... In short, your task is to find them and observe the situation."

"Unless it's an emergency, you can't act without authorization, you know, Chacha? Wait for Wu-jun or me to go first."

Streets of Yokohama.

Uo, who was moving quickly, sent a text message to remind him.

He barely thought of a way.

Kitazawa Uo is really not good at traveling long distances, but Gojo Satoru can.

Gojo Satoru's "No Lower Limit Art" can compress the distance between the starting point and the end point, achieving an effect similar to teleportation - but this is a straight line, and there can be no obstacles in the way.

Uno was not sure of the exact location of the pair of twin brothers and sisters, so he could only let Chacha and her relatives find out and get closer.

He planned to ask Chacha to send the coordinates after she found the exact location.

The reason why he didn't let Gojo Satoru's teleport to join him now, and then Uo himself guided the way and followed Gojo Satoru's ability to quickly arrive in Tokyo and start the search, is actually very simple.

... Uo can't get in touch with Gojo Satoru now.

This is very helpless, but it is also completely uncommon and cannot be blamed.

After all, the other party is a busy person in the magic world, and all the jobs he takes are extremely difficult.

And when the conjurer is working, it is no surprise that the mobile phone signal fails.

Such as special "accounts", domains or incomplete domains are one of the reasons for isolating signals.

Or there is simply something wrong with the phone, such as the sound is silent, there is no time to answer it during the battle, the battery is out, etc... Of course, this is not very likely for Gojo Satoru.

all in all.

It is true that Uosheng has no way to contact the other party now, so he can only send a text message anxiously, and then dial the number from time to time to remind him, hoping that the other party will see it as soon as possible.

At the same time, he was also on his way quickly.

If Gojo Satoru doesn't respond for a long time...

Objectively speaking, if Chacha can find the location of the two children in time, the family members who stay there can also act.

After all, no matter how you say, the bones left by Uo to the children are all first-level strengths, which are completely sufficient in most cases.And he can also observe the situation through the vision of the bone family all the time, and formulate an action plan.

But what worries Uo the most is Yusuke's increasingly weak voice.

...are they hurt?How bad is it?Is there still time?

This unknown is the most worrying thing.

After all, neither Chacha nor the bone family has the ability to heal.

.

It's six sixteen in the evening.

The sun sets in the west.
