[Spell Return] Beast of Despair

—August 2018, 8, Tokyo, Old Shipyard—

PM3: 42

Today's temperature is slowly falling after reaching the peak, and from now on we can look forward to a cool evening.Therefore, I am not in the mood to look forward to the evening at this moment.

She has reached her destination.

The dilapidated old shipyard is still the same as it is in memory. There is no more rust on the crimson gate. It looks as if it is so fragile that it can be broken apart with a slight fold, but it is entangled between the railings. His iron chain was still strong, with a clean metallic color.

Since the accident three years ago, this place has been completely sealed off.

The auxiliary supervisor in charge of this task is a strange woman.After asking, I found out that she was the observer in the extermination operation three years ago, and she was also the person who wrote the written record that Ye Zhi saw.

It's not clear whether this should be considered a coincidence, but it most likely is not.Ye Zhi neither wanted nor knew how to greet her, so he didn't say anything.

Unlock the chain and push open the door.Accompanied by the "creaking" sound of the door frame, he stepped into the shipyard.

"Born of darkness, blacker than black."

In the whispered words, a dark barrier enveloped the entire shipyard.

"The filth and filth are all exhausted."

"Account" wraps this space, as if weaving a huge octagonal cage.Standing on the ring are her named "Yezhi" and the curse named "Yezhi".

The first workshop is the closest to the main entrance, and the inside is as dark as dusk, with only negligible daylight filtering through the grayed-out windows.The wall skin peeled off in large chunks, revealing gray blanks, and the ground was white dry and cracked paint.I never knew that this place was so dilapidated.

The last time I came here was at night.It was dark, and she couldn't see much.

Dark blood stains remained on the asphalt roads of the first workshop and the second workshop. They were pools of irregular circles with corners, and some traces that formed a vertical line.Yes, his arm hurts a bit.

She squatted down slowly, stretched out her hand, and stroked the dried blood.Whose blood is this?She couldn't remember.

The memory of that night is gradually recovering.She thought of the broken limbs that had been "placed" on these bloodstains, and the "frog" chasing her.

I really want to say something.It is a persistent feeling that at this moment, I should sigh a few words or sigh a few words.This is more like what the victim should do when returning to the scene of the crime.But she couldn't lament anything at all.

The curse hasn't appeared yet, but I know she must be listening.

So she said—

"Actually, the real pain caused by 'death' is not realizing the passing of life, nor watching them being killed by you in front of me. The most painful thing, all happened in 'death' after."

She walked slowly, and untied the black cloth wrapped around the spell tool, she could feel the surge of spell power.

Whose spell is it?It doesn't seem like it's all hers.

She continued:

"Bi Fang and Here adopted a dog. Originally, they were supposed to pick it up the day after you were expelled, but they couldn't do it. As a living person, I didn't think of it until a month later. I called the people at the adoption home, and their attitude was not very friendly. They seemed to be annoyed at the fact that they had suddenly lost all contact with the other party who had promised to bring the dog home, and they said a lot of things to me. 'responsibility' or something like that. Asked me if they didn't want the dog anymore. I told them my brothers died so they couldn't adopt the dog. They consoled me but I couldn't hear a thing up.

"I haven't had the most delicious chocolate that Xun said, and I haven't met Daisuke's crush. I said before that I would take them to Disney, but before it happened, everything was over. If I It would be nice to know early on that my relationship with them will only last for a short period of twenty years. At least I can say goodbye to them. I haven't even said goodbye to them.

"'Death' hurts, but 'regret' and 'could' hurt more. Do you know what I mean? Speaking of which... it's time for you to show up."

After stepping out of the second workshop, Shizhi stopped at the edge of the dry well.I don't know when, the dirty ground covered with dust and broken wall skin where she stopped has turned into a pool of black water, and she is standing on the surface of the water.

Black water spewed out of the dry well, tumbling continuously, the twisted water waves condensed into a huge frog, and thorns entangled it.

Yes, it suddenly didn't hurt at all.She wanted to laugh out loud.

"What an exciting reunion. Isn't it, Koe?"

PM10: 14

Yezhi gnawed on an energy bar and hurried to the scene, inexplicably feeling like the protagonist in a shoujo manga—mainly because of the similarity of "running wildly while eating".

The general situation is that he has already heard the general situation from the assistant supervisor.She had also heard about the situation that the conjurers who had been dispatched had been staying in the "book" for several hours and showed signs of restlessness.This feeling is understandable, but she doesn't know how to deal with it.

Daisuke, who came to support together, waited at the door early, ready to go in with her.

It's not too late now, but Daisuke is already yawning profusely.

"Trying to sleep... the feeling of being woken up in the middle of a sleep by a work call is really bad."

He complained that his steps were dragging, and even the flashlight in his hand was dangling, and he couldn't hold it steady at all.

I really don't know where to start complaining.

"When did you go to bed so early?"

"Just today. Because I have a date tomorrow." Speaking of this, he perked up, "So I want to sleep a little longer! Recharge your batteries!"

"Eh—? Didn't you tell me that you have a girlfriend?"

"No, no, not a girlfriend." Daisuke quickly denied, but blushed unconsciously, "It's just a girl he has a crush on...but I want to confess to her tomorrow..."

"Really? Then you have to work hard. I like you."

"hey-hey……"

While talking, they had already reached the second workshop.The younger brother's romance finally cheered Shizhi up a bit, although she still didn't know how to deal with her younger siblings who were already separated.

There were rustling voices from the corner of the second workshop.When they got closer, they realized that it was a conversation with a blunt tone almost like a quarrel.They were talking about the curse.

"I told you, I've searched everything over there, and there's no curse!"

"But it can't escape. Here, to be honest, you just didn't look for it seriously, did you?"

"Don't speak so loudly..."

"Don't use your sister's majesty to press me at this time, can you? I looked for it, and I really looked for it. I found the body in the well."

"Oh oh oh you're awesome. Then why can't you find the curse!"

"Don't make noise..."

"Yes, yes, our third-class magicians are limited in ability."

"Please..."

They couldn't stop arguing, and everyone blushed with anger.The eldest, Shi Gu, was forced to shoulder the burden of the elders and tried hard to reconcile their relationship, but to no avail.He was a little flustered and didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, it is here.

When they saw the eldest sister, everyone fell silent.The world is like being muted.Lingyin and Bifang brothers stood at the back, their eyes slightly dodged.

Yezhi pretended he didn't see anything.

"What's going on now?" she asked.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while.Shi Gu told Yeshi that they searched the entire shipyard, but did not find any trace of the curse spirit.There are two corpses in the abandoned dry well, which cannot be salvaged for the time being, so the cause of death cannot be ascertained for the time being.

"Really? I understand. Then search again. I know you don't like this suggestion, but now we can only do this." Ye Zhi said quickly, the stale air here made her feel uncomfortable, "Partition For two groups, Daisuke Hiroya will follow me, and the others will follow Shiya. Remember to pay attention to the shadow of the beams. Be careful, don’t miss any clues.”

The factory building of the old shipyard is designed with high ceilings, and the wide and thick steel and iron frames are the easiest to hide dirt.

It was the best arrangement she could think of right now.

"Okay, let's disperse then..."

"Wait a moment!"

Bi Fang dragged the bell and stood up, and immediately completed his words: "We want to act together with you, sister!"

Yes, I want to say no.But if you say "no", it's like exposing the contradiction between them for others to see.Ye Zhi was not sure how many people knew about it now, but she really didn't want to make it too big.

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

"Then follow me." She walked quickly, leaving them behind, "I'm going to visit the dry well."

"it is good!"

The other party quickly chased her, speaking in a hurry.It was not at all like an emotion he would have.

"That...sister, about text messages..."

"Don't talk to me about this now." Ye Zhi interrupted him, "Don't discuss personal matters during working hours."

"But……"

"I don't want to talk. That's all."

She quickened her pace, but the light of the flashlight trembled involuntarily.A raised dry well appeared on the edge of the light, leaving a lot of filth here.Shi Zhi couldn't identify the traces left by what kind of technique it was, but felt inexplicably familiar.

She put the flashlight on the edge of the well.When she came here, she heard about the dead body in the well, so she specially brought the corresponding rope tools.She wanted to go down and have a look.

"In the meantime, you help hold the rope." She lowered her head and focused on fastening all the safety buckles, but she still didn't have the courage to look them in the face. She only dared to say, "Don't think about the afternoon. We are working now."

She repeated the statement again.

From the corner of his eye, he caught Lingyin pacing non-stop, rubbing his fingertips on his neck, frowning, as if he was about to cry.He had no time to care about these things, and after gesturing to the room, he slowly descended into the well.

The well was not too deep, only a few meters long. It had already dried up and was filled with stinking silt, but no grass grew and there was not much water in it.The corpses of two homeless people lay twisted in it, covered with blood, the cause of death may be excessive blood loss.

Shizhi pursed his lips, suppressing his nausea and trying to find more clues from the corpse.This cramped space made her feel very uncomfortable, and what was even more uncomfortable was that she couldn't find much useful things at all.

She couldn't figure out what the dense wounds like dotted lines all over the corpse were.

The smell of blood mixed with the smell of mud.Yezhi really couldn't stay any longer, she tugged on the rope and let Zajian pull her up.

As he climbed up the well wall bit by bit, he felt a weak vibration coming from the bottom of the well.She picked up speed.

The moment she returned to the ground, she couldn't help taking a deep breath.Seriously, the smell down there is disgustingly disgusting.The twins waited nervously by the well, and as soon as they saw her coming up, they hurriedly asked about the situation.

"Retreat a little... and then retreat." It was not until he walked a little further that Yezhi began to say, "The curse spirit is probably hiding at the bottom of the well, and it will appear soon. Lingyin, go..."

It wasn't until Lingyin's name was called that Yezhi noticed that she was crying.

I was at a loss for words for a while, so I had to turn my head and say to the other party: "Then you can call other people over. Just tell them that traces of the curse spirit have been found here. Go."

She patted each other's shoulders lightly, while Lingyin was still crying.At first, she still hid her crying, but gradually she became twitching and covered her face with her hands, so she could always hear her breathing, but she didn't know why she was crying.

I don't know the reason, so I can't say any words of comfort at all.She thought that Lingyin must not need her comfort either.So I could only keep silent and let the atmosphere become rigid.

Suddenly, Lingyin lowered her hand and looked around helplessly for a while.

"I... I'll see what's going on in the well."

Saying so, she walked toward the well.

The vibration from the ground suddenly became stronger, as violent as if it strangled Yezhi's neck.She couldn't describe it, but it seemed like something was about to break free.

"Don't go! Stay with me!"

She stretched out her hand, but couldn't catch Lingyin's back.But when she uttered this sharp stop, Lingyin paused for a moment, turned her head, and looked at her stiffly, with tears falling on her clothes, as if she couldn't believe it.

Yuzhi never knew what Suzune was thinking at that moment.She didn't do what she expected - she walked straight towards the well as if she was angry.

The abnormal movement stopped suddenly, but it was even more difficult to breathe.

I want to take a step, I want to catch up with Suzune, I want to pull her back to my side.Yeshi had so many "wants" in her heart, but it was too late for her to realize them.

Black water gushed out of the well, blackening the entire ground.Lingyin trembled in horror, and wanted to turn around, but it was too late.The thorns protruding from the black water wrapped around her ankles, and almost at the same time she realized her end.

She screamed and held out her hand to Yes,

"Run away!"

She wasn't begging Yeshi for help—she was trying to push Yeshi away.

The thorns tore the words, and she was also torn by the thorns, and the splashed blood splashed on Ye Zhi's face, covering her eyes, and her vision turned into a dazed red.It seems that nothing can be seen.

But nothing can be heard.

clap clap-

It was the piece of meat that fell to the ground.

croak croak——

The frog entangled in thorns croaked.

Something broke in my mind.
