Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Chapter 127

"...Are you really protected by Wu?"

Xia Youjie was not shocked when he got the news. After all, he had already guessed.Although the direction of the speculation and the results of the investigation were subtly off track, the final conclusions came back after going around and in line with part of the truth.

Compared with the detective agency, which is not well-known in the magic world, and Toranojiro, who cannot reveal his true identity and can only act secretly, Gojo Satoru is undoubtedly the most perfect external candidate.

——It has a strong sense of presence and a strong deterrent effect.

Anyone who plans to carry out any conspiracy in the world of magic and magic will invariably try to lure Gojo Satoru away... This is simply the consensus in the early stages of criminal operations.

Obviously, Xia Youjie thought so too.

"The protection is really strict. To be on guard to such a degree, the child Yi Gu has never been protected so carefully and carefully, right? But this also shows its importance from the side. Mr. Yi Gu is already so special. At this point, the remaining two little conjurers surnamed Kitazawa must also have considerable value... no, or it should be said to be even more considerable."

Xia Youjie never thought about the possibility that the person who was protected by Gojo Satoru was not a conjurer.

He squinted his eyes and tilted his head, talking to himself.

Sugata Manami: "Master Xia You, what should we do now?"

"Don't get close to Yokohama for the time being. We've already startled the enemy. If we continue to act, we may not be able to face Wu directly... There is no chance of winning, and it will be harmful to our future actions."

Although Xia Youjie is very interested in the matter of the "Guardian God" and the two children of the Kitazawa family who don't know the details except for the precious healing ability, what he pays more attention to now is that he has confirmed its huge power with his own eyes. And he was sure that the other party was the most powerful super magic spirit "Lixiang" that he had seen so far.

The plan to seize "Sato" is still at the top of the list.

——After all, who would have thought that there would be two "Lixiang" in the same era in the rare situation of "Lixiang", and the other one would be stronger than "Lixiang".

But this does not mean that Xia Youjie has given up his attention to the "Guardian God".

Anyway, the action against Yi Gu has not been formally arranged yet, and soon there will be a great opportunity to closely observe the ability and identity of the "Guardian God"...

The man in cassock stroked his chin and explained briefly, his narrowed eyes curled up like a fox, and he said, "So, it's better to be quiet for a while now."

"Does that require me to clean up? I contacted the hacker hired by me to investigate intelligence anonymously. The other party probably didn't know my identity. It shouldn't be a big problem, but the dean of the orphanage is too sensitive. He You probably already noticed that I was here to inquire about Kitazawa Chacha and Kitazawa Megumi...Do you need me to seal it up?"

"Has your appearance been recorded?"

"No, I put on makeup, changed my facial features, and deliberately avoided the camera."

"Then don't worry about it, just use the plan like this. Before the monkeys in the Ishizawa family act, it would be good to leave some clues outside to divert Wu's attention... Even if it is really found out that it was me who did it, that's fine." It doesn't matter."

After all, his previous peeping and probing of Yi Gu Youtai had already attracted the attention of the High Commissioner.

It makes no difference to Xia Youjie whether there is more or less vigilance from relatives and friends in the past.

What's more, according to his vision, the time for an all-out war with the magic world is not far away.

Sooner or later, the face will be torn apart, and there will be no shortage of this moment.

.

There are many unsolved cases in Japan.

In addition to the unexplainable spell events, there are many man-made cases that have not been solved and have been ashes in the archives.

...After all, those who hide in the dark always have an advantage over those who stand under the sun.

Among the countless dusty unsolved cases, there is a serial killer case that has not been solved for nearly 15 years.

According to known intelligence statistics, there are as many as 9 victims who can be identified as the same murderer-there may be some who have not been counted.

Among them, 3 are adult men, 2 are adult women, 1 is an elderly person, and 2 are middle school students.

The victims were distributed in different parts of the country without any connection with each other, the cause of death of each victim was also very different, and the murderer's crime spacing and criteria for selecting targets were completely irregular.

Death due to internal organ damage due to violence, dismemberment, or slow torture to death with various sharp instruments... There are many methods, almost no repetition, and cruelty beyond belief.If it weren't for the fact that all the corpses would be conscientiously restrained in the end, and then placed in front of the rich offerings like sacrifices, the police probably wouldn't be able to determine that this was a serial murder case in the first place.

No trace of sexual assault, just violence for violence's sake.

And near the corpse, there must be such a sentence:

"He/she enjoyed the happiest moment in the world and went to the embrace of the gods."

"It's really bad."

The police gritted their teeth. They tried their best to catch this most vicious indiscriminate murderer...but they couldn't find any clues.

It has been five years since the murderer last committed a crime.

This is the murderer's longest "rest" interval.

— or it could be that the police did not find the body of the potential victim.

After all, the number of missing persons whose whereabouts are unknown in Japan is also considerable every year. Under the irregular attacks of indiscriminate murderers, no one knows whether any missing persons were killed without their knowledge.

.

A month later, in August.

The temperature has gradually climbed to the highest level, and the students have officially had their summer vacation, starting the happiest holiday life.

Lihai University successfully won the championship of the Kanto Competition, continued the record of the Lihai University Tennis Division in Kanto for 16 consecutive championships, and successfully advanced to the National Competition.

There are three rounds of screening in the early stage of the national competition, the top four in the semi-finals, and the top two in the final. It took five days in total.

Every candidate in the Lihai University Tennis Club is extremely serious and never takes it lightly. It even has a sense of sight in a spy movie-Liu collects data everywhere, and in each game, he will seriously discuss with the minister Yukimura who has recently played.Likewise, other schools are similar.

Li Haida entered the semi-finals with overwhelming strength. It was not until the semi-finals that they met a considerable opponent. After a difficult struggle, they finally got the ticket to compete for the supremacy.

"There are no dead ends in Lihai's three consecutive championships!"

"We must go all out to aim for the championship, and we must not take it lightly!"

Genichiro Sanada, with a precocious serious face, repeated the words that had been repeated countless times this semester.

Everyone is perfectly prepared.

The day of the final.

All members of the tennis club headed by Yukimura headed to the Tokyo National Competition finals with high spirits, to compete with their final opponents.

The venue for the final is quite large, it is a very professional open-air gymnasium, and the stepped auditorium around the arena is at least [-]% full - there are many students who come here during the summer vacation to cheer for their school seniors, and other tennis fans.

"Come on, Kei-san! Yukimura-san! And the other seniors."

Wearing a long slightly curly high ponytail, the beautiful and tall Chacha stood at the entrance of the contestants with one hand on his hips and a bright smile, holding a bento box high in the other hand, "I brought you honey and lemon slices, After the game, you can eat to replenish your energy."

Ever since Chacha happened to see Hui's eruption scene last time, she seemed to be interested in coming to watch from time to time, especially when there was nothing to do at home and the detective agency rarely had a leisurely time, Chacha basically just picked up her bag and ran to be Wild cheerleading.

All in all, from the Kanto Competition to the National Competition, Chacha has come four or five times.

"Xiao Chacha, the "other seniors" are too perfunctory! Marui Bunta waved his hands very enthusiastically, then looked around, and asked with great anticipation: "Is anyone coming with you?" "

"I can't help it. If I read all your names, I will definitely be out of breath."

Chacha took a few steps forward, stuffed the bento box with lemon and honey into Hui's arms, then looked at Niwang, and said sassyly: "The beautiful school girl came all the way to give you gas and food, just ignore it It's a small problem... Also, don't look around, I'm the only one here this time, my father and sister are both busy."

Marui was immediately disappointed—then he was hit on the head by Sanada and said not to be discouraged before the game.

Hui ignored the rowdy teammates behind him, "Dad did this?"

"Sister Jin Meiji and I made it, but don't worry, I've tried the taste, and the balance of sweet and sour is just right." Chacha said, and then tiptoed to whisper to her brother: "Dad originally planned to come with me too. , and was blocked by Editor Pinsong.”

Hui suddenly said, "Ah, it's because of that?"

"Well, I was urged to write." Chacha solemnly revealed a serious expression, and nodded with grief, "The essence of human beings is indeed a pigeon."

Editor Ping Song has been with the Kitazawa family for seven or eight years. The other party is undoubtedly an ordinary person who cannot see the magic spirit, but he was born in these During the year, Usheng's inhuman identity was confirmed.

At first he maintained his balance very well.

Uno didn't want to talk about it, and he also had a sense of responsibility to choose not to talk about it.

Until Uo, who has become a first-class creator, and even faintly became the top pillar of the Japanese literary world, began to gradually reduce his production.

... This is also something that can’t be helped. After all, the annual publishing income, film and television income and other dividends of Uosheng’s existing works have made him no longer need to worry about family expenses, let alone start to try to invest. He gradually found out the way, I bought a lot of share sponsorships that are guaranteed to make a profit, and the income is already considerable.

Under this premise, Juling Uso, who originally worked hard to write for the children's living expenses, will naturally change from "high-efficiency writing" to "high-quality interest-based" writing.

——To describe it simply, write when you have inspiration, and coo when you have no inspiration.

Coupled with the unrest in the past few years, the successive turmoil made Uo unable to concentrate, so the creative output inevitably began to -1, -1, -1...

So, editor Hiramatsu, who was spoiled by the excellent and efficient articles in the early stage, and caught by the slow but better works in the later stage, finally shed tears of grief.

After a lapse of several years, he was finally able to feel the pain of other editors.

#The teacher is cooing again, what should I do...! #

#Seeking fancy reminder skills! #

Fortunately, Uno's conscience is still alive and kicking. Faced with the crying and press calls of many editors who helped their family and kept covering for their family, Uno would be said to be ashamed every time, and then he would obediently work overtime during the day.

So, for the first time since the first time, I rushed to Kitazawa's house crying, "Mr. Kakuo! Please submit the manuscript quickly, there are countless readers waiting for Kakuo's new work!" And with the help of Tsumiki, he successfully negotiated. After getting the manuscript, editor Ping Song's door-to-door visits gradually became a daily routine.

Just last week, when Ryunosuke Akutagawa came to visit Kitazawa's house, he happened to witness the scene of editor Hiramatsu's press release.

Ryunosuke, who is also a well-known young writer, looked at the editor Hiramatsu who was crying to the air, and at Mr. Uo who stood on the other side with a face full of guilt and guilt. One equation.

His head was empty for a moment, and then he rushed out of Kitazawa's house with a flushed face, and Uoyu chased him out in fright.

Uo was worried that Ryunosuke would be angry with him. Although there was a reason for it, he had concealed Ryunosuke for so many years after all.

Although everyone felt that Uo's worries were unnecessary.

After all, Ryunosuke Akutagawa was not so much angry...as embarrassed.

All members: I can't imagine Ryunosuke's anger at Mr. Uzo/Dad at all.

all in all.

Because Uo was out chasing Ryunosuke, the editor Hiramatsu, who failed to submit a manuscript last week, naturally came again this week.

And successfully blocked Usheng at home - through Tsumiji's guidance and the author's own conscience.

Closer to home.

Chacha shook her hand, revealing the bone chain on her wrist, "But don't worry, Dad will secretly watch your game through the bone family. I'm the broadcaster."

"...Is it okay to write while watching the live broadcast?"

Chacha: "I don't know! But I can't do my homework while watching anime!"

Hui: ...can't help but start to worry about whether editor Hiramatsu will be able to rush the manuscript.

.

same point in time.

Ishizawa's house in Nerima, Tokyo.

"Aunt Mio! We've packed our luggage!" Yusuke carried his own bag and dragged the suitcase, and walked out with his younger sister, Miri, with sparkling eyes.

Ishizawa Mio squatted down, gently adjusted Rimiri's new and beautiful little skirt, and helped to straighten Yusuke's collar, then observed carefully and smiled: "It's so beautiful, the dress suits you very well."

Yusuke smiled embarrassedly.

During the August summer vacation, the wealthy Ishizawa family planned to take their adopted children to a villa in the suburbs of Tokyo for vacation.

I heard that it is a private villa located in the mountains.

I heard it was built just last year.

I heard that there are natural hot springs, streams, and lush woods raised by the most fertile land.

……

Miri and Yusuke have been looking forward to it before the holiday, after all, they are still at an age that loves to play.

.

The weather in Nerima, Tokyo is not clear, the sun is covered by dark clouds.This made Miri and Yusuke, who had just gotten into the car, worried about whether it would rain.

On the contrary, it's another district in Tokyo... Over there at the National Middle School Tennis Tournament, the cloudless blue sky is very charming.

It does happen occasionally.

Obviously the same city.

But different regions have different skies.
