Standing beside the milkstone of the hot spring is a dim street lamp, which seems to be the only lighting object in the hot spring pool in the back mountain. It is not bright, but it can be seen clearly.
Makoto Ishida raised the flashlight: "This is it."
The round spots of incandescent light beams hit the hot spring pool water, and the rising mist was vaguely visible. Several people gathered around the hot spring, and under careful observation, there seemed to be nothing unusual.
Gojo Satoru squinted his eyes, and where his clear blue pupils scanned, countless information poured into his brain. He habitually sucked a candy on the tip of his tongue, and his mind became clearer under the stimulation of the sweet taste.
"Wu, do you see anything?"
"The concealment ability of that curse spirit is probably full." Wujo Wu smacked his tongue unhappily, "The residue of the curse power has been completely removed, and even the surface of the hot spring is no different from ordinary hot springs. If you don't pay attention If you look at it, you won't be able to notice it at all...Jie, look at the bottom of the pool."
The hot spring water is not clear, but fortunately, the water is shallow, and with the light of a flashlight, you can see the bottom at a glance.
Xia Youjie squatted down and got close to the hot spring water, but Makoto Ishida quickly reminded him: "Don't touch the water here...!"
He stopped about half a meter away, bowed his head, thinking about something.
"The cleaner it is, the more abnormal it is. This shows that the curse spirit has already given birth to considerable wisdom, and the hot spring has been deeply affected. It seems that this area is the habitat of that curse spirit...?"
Li Xiang, who was more sensitive to the breath of the curse spirit, nodded, took a sniff, and said, "The smell of the curse spirit is everywhere on the spring."
The induction between the inside of the magic spirit is very wonderful, just like the food chain in the forest, the natural perception of animals to natural enemies and prey.
Xia Youjie suggested: "Should we collect some pool water and go back to study it..."
His voice suddenly stopped, Xia Youjie turned his eyes to the dense forest in the bunker, and at the same time Gojo Wu shouted loudly: "Who's there!"
Yi Guyouta grabbed Lixiang's hand, and touched the handle of the knife with the other hand.
From the bushes on the other side, there were rustling sounds.
The leaves trembled and the branches fell.
In the lonely back mountain, the clear sound of stepping on a broken branch is not too obvious.
Lixiang leaned against his arm and said in a low voice, "There are fluctuations in mana power, but... it's not a mantra."
Yi Gu glanced at her in surprise, but there was no response.
The vigilant eyes of several people focused on the other side, and after a long silence, Gojo Satoru first expressed doubts: "Huh?"
Those present, except for a certain Ishida Makoto who was hit by the spell and whose spell power was exhausted, were all super level. In the future, three of Japan's four super magicians will be here. If you can't even catch the spell spirit, you can pass it on Laugh till you spray rice.
However, it is not necessarily the mantra spirit who possesses mana power fluctuations... Xia Youjie patted Ishida Cheng on the back and asked, "Your companion?"
Makoto Ishida shook his head blankly: "No, I checked before I came out, and they are all still unconscious."
Who is that?
Conjurers are already scarce, so could they pop up one after another in this backcountry?
What followed told them that it was possible.
Kimoto Rika took a breath, and she couldn't help but took a step forward.
The others were also more or less shocked, and those who were barely able to manage their expressions had their eyes widened in astonishment.
What stumbled out, exposed to their vision, was a pair of twin girls supporting each other.
Their hair color varies from dark to light, but they are all covered with dust. What is even more unbelievable is that there are large and small wounds and bruises on their bodies. It seems that no part of their bodies is intact. For each other, even if the hands are dirty, they don't care.
Those present were not experienced conjurers, but they could see the source of their wounds at a glance.
Some were injured by falls, and some were scratched by dead branches and thorns. The slender bloodstains were of different shades, some had been infected and festered, and some were scabbing.
But it wasn't these that surprised them, but the obvious man-made scars on the twin girls.
The bruises are from repeated beatings, the redness on one side of the cheek is probably from a slap, the messy hair should have been pulled before, and there are some hidden under the clothes, I don’t know how many.
Xia Youjie stretched out his hand subconsciously, but saw the two girls on the other side hastily stepped back, staring at them in fear and panic, their eyes didn't seem to be looking at a few people who were also human beings.
"...Who did it?" Gojo Satoru's voice was ethereal, as soft as a whisper.
These two can basically be confirmed to be the girls of the conjurer.
suffered obvious human abuse.
This cognition made everyone present couldn't help feeling angry, especially Rika Kimoto who had a similar experience.
She squeezed Yi Gu's fingers, and nodded to him, "I'll go."
No one objected.
After all, under the current situation, it seems that only Lixiang, a girl of the same age, can approach them more easily.
Kimoto Rika bypassed the hot spring and jumped to the opposite side lightly. She stepped forward slightly, but before she could get close to the twins, she stopped in place because of their obvious resistance.
She thought for a while, then took out two candies from her pocket: "Do you want to eat?"
On the opposite side, Gojo Satoru with extraordinary eyesight: "??"
He suddenly touched his pocket.
Sugar is gone!
Li Xiang, who took a sheep from a certain white hair and felt very guilty: "It's very sweet."
"Who are you?" The girl with lighter hair stared at her warily. If her trembling body was ignored, the murderousness in her tone might be more real, "Bad guys...don't get close to Nanako and Mimiko!"
Kimoto Rika hammered his palm, and suddenly said: "You are called Nanako and Mimiko! Hello, I am Kimoto Rika, and I am not a bad person."
Twin girls: "..."
Li Xiang didn't try to approach them any more. No one knew better than her how the hurt little girl was feeling at the moment.
So Lixiang sat down on her own, and said, "Are you children from this village? We are from outside... Have you been bullied by someone?"
The little girl who has been hurt will have a stronger defense against strangers, and will erect spikes all over her body like a hedgehog in order to protect herself.
It's just that Lixiang used to use this kind of "spikes" more skillfully. She didn't simply hostile to outsiders, but used her good looks to manipulate adults.
The "protective shield" that everyone will put up is different, which may have something to do with their personal temperament.
But inside they are the same.
The same fragmentation, the same emptiness and coldness, after having tasted the taste of malice, they will rush to the precious warm light.
Satoshi has found her own light.
However, they haven't.
"Don't be afraid." Lixiang didn't notice it, her voice was extremely gentle at this time, "Lixiang... all of us will help you, tell me, who bullied you?"
Two exquisitely packaged candies lay quietly on the uneven ground. After an unknown amount of time, a rough, muddy little hand reached over and picked up one of them.
The little black-haired girl sobbed and said, "Yes, everyone in the village, a lot of people locked up Mimiko and Nanako, didn't give them food, and said we were lying, that we were disasters, and beat us..."
The whole village.
The light in Qiben Lixiang's eyes fell silent.
Calamity... In poor and backward areas, where there are more ignorance and superstition, there is always a saying that twins are an ominous omen.
But just this should not allow them to suffer such abuse?There must be other reasons.
Seemingly realizing Lixiang's kindness, the two girls sat not far from her hesitantly.
Nanako asked blankly: "Sister, can you really help us... We are in so much pain, this time we managed to steal the key and escape, but when we are discovered, we will be caught and beaten again ..."
"People in the village, why did you beat you?"
"I don't know either." Nanako whimpered, "Obviously, Nanako and Mimiko are telling the truth. There is really a scary monster in the village. The water in the hot spring is sprayed out by this monster. It cannot be used. ...But everyone in the village didn't believe it, they couldn't see the monster, and they said we were lying, but we weren't lying."
Mimiko gave Nanako another candy, and she added: "Mimiko and Nanako saw that the village chief and other villagers tricked many people into going to that monster's hot spring, and those men never came back , mother, aunt and the others all said what kind of sacrifice this is, so that those people will never know the truth, and they will spend their entire lives earning money for the village..."
"The grown-ups all said it was a 'miracle', a gift from the gods, but it was obviously created by a monster. Mimiko and Nanako just told the truth, and they were locked up by the grown-ups, saying that we were blasphemy."
Kimoto Rika finally understood.
The hot spring that can change gender is a masterpiece of the magic spirit, but the people in the hot spring village can't see the magic spirit, so they think it is a miracle.
So greedy for profit, the people in this village began to choose suitable "prey" and trick them into coming to this hot spring. After they found out that their bodies were abnormal, it was too late. In order to restore their bodies to normal, they had to be subject to this The village was blackmailed by them to suck blood.
The victims are all men, probably because this hot spring can only change from male to female, and the handle is in the hands of the hot spring village. The men who are treated as prey cannot resist. They think that since there is a "mother drowning spring", there must also be a "mother drowning spring". Male drowning spring", but they were controlled by the hot spring village, so they had to bow their heads.
It's just that these two children saw it. On the one hand, out of superstition, on the other hand, their truth endangered their own interests, so they labeled the two girls as "catastrophes" and abused them.
——The truth about the so-called hot spring village is as simple as that.
A group of ignorant people abandon the bottom line for the sake of profit, and even the curse spirit has become the object of their use. Even if they can't see it, it doesn't stop them from doing it, does it?
Lixiang thought about it in her heart, she stood up, and wanted to gather with her companions to discuss the next matters.
She followed the original route and wanted to jump from the rock next to the hot spring to the opposite bank. She stepped on the slippery milk stone, and her whole body was suspended in the air, and her mobility was weaker than usual for a few seconds.
"—Lixiang!"
She heard the boy's anxious cry, and then, there was a clatter behind her, and a black figure suddenly sprang out from the bottom, and the warm water poured down, and the boy used his body as an umbrella to help her cover most of it.
With the quick attack of the curse spirit, the girl moved sideways very quickly, but it was inevitable that she got hit by the hair.
Fortunately, none of their companions are vegetarians. In the blink of an eye, the battle situation reversed. Xia Youjie and Wutiao Wu firmly restrained the curse spirit. If they didn't have to study its ability, they might be able to exorcise it in that instant. .
——However, the focus is not on these now.
Lixiang stared blankly at Otoko Yuta who was close at hand, his black hair was entangled with her own, and the slender hair was spread out like silk, Otoko's eyelashes flickered, his eyes were like autumn water, with soft waves The swaying, strong muscle lines are soft and tender at some point, the jelly-like skin, and the obviously beautiful face, all of which tell the truth...
"Ah." Lixiang said unconsciously, and then suddenly realized that her voice became much thicker.
Yi Gu & Li Xiang: "..."
The two faces are stunned.
Makoto Ishida raised the flashlight: "This is it."
The round spots of incandescent light beams hit the hot spring pool water, and the rising mist was vaguely visible. Several people gathered around the hot spring, and under careful observation, there seemed to be nothing unusual.
