Humanoid self-propelled wishing machine

Chapter 42

Nine years old.

The high and empty clear blue sky, the vibrant but peaceful forest, the holy shrine that stands tall with the entire mountain as its cornerstone, and the black-clothed servants who don’t know their faces or names like ghosts are hoarse and difficult. Distinguished crows flocked around him.

Tsushima Reo was wearing a white and red hakama priestess costume, and her smooth black long hair was left to her waist. He grew taller, but his facial features became softer. His eyebrows and eyes were lowered, showing a kind of compassion .

Deliberate training and practice have selectively amplified the innocence and compassion in Rei Tsushima's nature, but living in the mountains and deprived of the power to establish contact with others, the isolation and loneliness The loneliness made the cold, detached divinity in him more and more obvious.

Reo Tsushima didn't say anything, just stood there, and people couldn't help but be careful to breathe lightly, for fear of disturbing him.

In this shrine, he repeats the same boring life day after day, year after year, lessons from morning to night, practice that cannot be missed every day, all white tops and red hakama in the wardrobe, depressing A quiet room with a playful and playful nature, and a crazy old man who is addicted to his own desires and cannot extricate himself.

That's all.

Rei Tsushima walked on the same bluestone road every day, slowed down when he passed the entrance of the shrine, stopped in front of the torii gate leading to the world, and threw himself towards the road leading down the mountain Quiet gaze.

The bright red torii is hung with a thick white string, which is not the same as when it was first built. After a few years of wind, frost, rain and snow, the original white string has an old yellow color. But it is still indestructible and stretches across the long winding mountain road, drawing a clear boundary between the gods' domain and the mortal world.

"Master Miko," the servant in charge of serving the only Miko in this shrine reminded softly, "It's time to go to daily classes."

"Okay." Rei Tsushima withdrew his gaze, and obediently agreed as always. He didn't have the will to resist, so he didn't stop much, so he stepped forward again, walking along this road that had been walked thousands of times The road is moving forward.

The shoji paper door of the Japanese room was opened, but the person sitting inside was not the teacher in black and white face, but an old man with chicken skin and white hair - Lu Dou of the Zen Academy.

Lu Dou of the Zen Academy rarely spoke a word, and faced Reo Tsushima with a sober mind.

His eyes were dull, but his pupils were actively jumping up and down, and he glanced around randomly, but compared with the past, it can be seen that Lu Dou of the Zen Academy has restrained himself by more than a little bit, he specially gave up the manipulation of some unimportant people today Right, concentrated energy to meet Tsushima Reo.

"What's wrong?" Reyo Tsushima asked softly, with pure worry in his eyes, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes...Master Shenzi." Lu Dou of the Zen Academy said slowly, "Master Erina, you must be starving, right?"

Reyo Tsushima thought for a while, and said in a sweet, coquettish tone, "No—it's okay, Erina isn't very hungry."

Compared with the interval of half a year last time, the interval between Erina's two demands this time is obviously longer, and in this closed shrine, there is no one who meets the conditions for her to initiate the force, except for the slow consumption of power in the drowsiness Apart from becoming weak, Erina had no other choice at all.

Lu Dou of the Zen Academy doubted the answer given by Reo Tsushima. He felt that Reo Tsushima, who was a few years older and understood a little bit about his situation, was lying for his own safety.

After all, in the last ceremony, Erina couldn't wait to occupy Reyo Tsushima's body almost the second after the god lord gave the name of the sacrifice, and demanded the lamb sacrificed to her. This urgent attitude is enough to see Erina's desire for lack of power.

But this time, Reo Tsushima did not lie.

To get to the bottom of it, Erina was originally born from Reo Tsushima's curse on the whole world, a special curse spirit born from Reo Tsushima's negative emotions. She clings tightly to Reo Tsushima's soul and will Every ray of dark resentment full of despair and numbness produced in it is sucked as nourishment, which is the cornerstone and ultimate source of all her strength.

Those greeds, dirty desires and pure mantras absorbed from the outside world are just secondary supplementary fuel. They can neither make her stronger, nor can she change what she has established since she was born. That complete and absolute rule.

Under such circumstances, as long as the negative emotions generated by Reo Tsushima can satisfy the consumption of Erina's daily existence, she will not forage for food independently due to lack of strength.

But anyway, no matter what Reyo Tsushima's answer is, Lu Dou of the Zen Academy will not change his decision. He ignored Reyo Tsushima's answer, and just continued on his own, "Can you ask Master Shenzi to come with us?" place?"

The servants clustered behind Rei Tsushima, with bowed heads and eyebrows, moved silently, obeying Lu Dou of the Zen Academy, and blocked every possible escape route.

The low and silent oppressive feeling like a thick dark cloud overwhelmingly rolled towards Reo Tsushima.

But Reo Tsushima, standing in the center surrounded by thick black shadows, smiled.

It was a bright smile without any haze like a clear autumn sky. He stared at Lu Dou of the Zen Academy with such fearless and worry-free pure eyes, and obediently agreed to his almost threatening invitation, "Okay."

His voice was light and soft, like the clouds floating high in the air, soft and non-aggressive, only giving people a sense of lazy comfort.

Rei Tsushima stretched out her hand to Lu Dou, who was kneeling in the Buddhist monastery, and smiled crookedly, "Lu Dou, let's go."

He affectionately called the name of Lu Dou of the Zen Academy, and his black pearl-like pupils focused on the old man who had aged extremely rapidly in the past few years and was addicted to power.

In that decayed body that was about to die, there were dirty, split, sticky and suffocating mud-like ugly desires, spreading and scattered like thin but massive mist, It turned into particles of foul-smelling dust floating in the air, floating up and down until the farthest distance.

But such an old man whose soul was shattered into sand staggered and stood up ignorantly, and in those abnormally cloudy eyeballs with beating pupils, there was still a growing greed surging.

Stupidity, greed, arrogance, self-righteousness and never-ending lust.

Even Lu Dou of the Zen Academy like this.

Reo Tsushima still loves it.

The smile on his face grew brighter and brighter.

.

He is no stranger to the place where Lu Dou of the Zen Academy is going to take Tsushima Reyang.

That was the Tokyo Metropolitan Conjuration College, the cell where he was imprisoned, and it was also the starting point for him to step into the world of conjuration.

Reyo Tsushima could even remember that if it hadn't been cleared away, Erina's favorite toy should still be hidden in the closet of a certain dormitory at the High School of Conjuration.

Erina is very obedient, even though Reyo Tsushima lost the toy, she didn't complain, forgave him easily, and tried to comfort him with her somewhat vague and intermittent words.

'Brother...it doesn't matter...if you lose it, you can get it later! '

However, today's High School of Conjuration seems to be exceptionally quiet, not even seeing a single person along the way.

It was probably emptied.

Reyo Tsushima guessed this way. After all, because it is a special war period, even the work of conjurers is a hundred times busier than before. All the teachers and students in the school were transferred away.

Under such circumstances, it is also easy to seal the entire school up with [tents] and not allow others to enter.

Without even bringing a single entourage with him, Lu Dou of the Zen Academy walked ahead on crutches, only taking Reyo Tsushima with him, and walked ahead without saying a word.

After passing through the teaching area and dormitory area in the first half of the Conjuration College, Lu Dou of the Zen Academy took Tsushima Reo to the warehouse at the end for storing spell tools and spell objects, where rows of closed and separated In front of the same old wooden door, Lu Dou of the Chanyuan found the [door] he wanted without any hesitation.

"arrive."

The hoarse voice of Lu Dou from the Zen Academy sounded like Xia Chan.

He glanced back at Reo Tsushima, the pupils shrunk like needlepoints in those eyeballs that were densely covered with tiny bloodshot eyes, he threw away the crutches, and pushed away the sealed spell with one hand The wooden door opened, and the other hand firmly grasped Tsushima Reo's wrist, pulling him into a pure white space.

It was an abnormal space that seemed to not exist in this world, independent of the entire world.

Looking around, there is only monotonous and depressing pure white.

And the ordinary wooden door behind them closed silently and slowly, and when the last crack disappeared, the whole door also disappeared.

Eh……?

Tsushima Reo looked back at the place where the door disappeared, with a little confusion and worry in her heart.

He thought, in this case, can my brother find him as agreed?

But in the next second, even such a slight worry was also taken away by Erina. Such doubts still remained in Tsushima Reo's mind, but the uneasiness in his heart dissipated like mist.

Even if my brother really didn't show up, there was nothing I could do about it.

Reo Tsushima thought.

His elder brother is a natural genius, capable of manipulating people's hearts in the palm of his hand, but he is also a non-magician without magic power. His elder brother cannot see the magic spirit, so he also has no way to break such a strong knot. In the world, such an accident happened at such a critical last moment, does it mean that this is actually his destined fate?

Tsushima Reo's mood was very light.

[If this is his fate that has already been written, he can only accept it obediently. ]

And this space is not empty.

In front of Reo Tsushima, there were already lying down two people who had their tendons and hamstrings cut off, and their heads were covered with black cloth bags, struggling constantly.

Lu Dou of the Zen Academy knelt down respectfully, bowed towards the direction where no one was there.

"Lord Tianyuan, I am extremely sorry for disturbing the quiet place where you live. If it weren't for the fact that this time is really important and must not be interrupted in the middle, I would never make such a rude and ridiculous request. "The voice of Zenyuan Lu Dou trembled, "I am also very grateful that you can magnanimously agree to my request. If the sacrifice to Tsushima Reyo can be successful, then the last time, Master Tianyuan failed because of the death of the astral body. Reincarnation also has a chance to be redeemed."

"No need to say much."

Another strange voice that seemed to come from all directions reverberated in the entire space.

"Let's start quickly. Let me see, too, what does the miracle you're talking about look like?"

The words of Lu Dou of the Zen Academy were interrupted in the middle, he paused for a moment, as if he was slowly processing the unexpected information, and delayed for a few seconds, then he replied naturally, "Yes, Lord Tianyuan."
