Cupid

You once had a conjurer husband.

In his first life, he died young and died on the battlefield in his early 20s.In the second life, when he defected, he hadn't finished high school, he was just a kid, but because of your "ignorance", he pretended to be an adult who wanted to take care of you.

What stays at the end of the memory is always a young but melancholy face.

Until today, ten years later he appeared in front of you again.Looking at him at the age of 28, you finally know what kind of appearance he will be at that time "if we can stay together until we grow old".

Ignoring the weird stitching on his forehead, he is still very good-looking, with raven-black hair, slender eyes, and thin and soft lips, no different from what you have imagined——

The young man showed a relaxed and joyful expression, and came to you in the twilight, telling you that the curse of the person who wanted to persecute you has been subdued by him, saying:

【I'm here to pick you up, let's go back together, my witch. 】

It's a pity that people are no longer the people they used to be.

The thing residing in his brain, dressed in the skin you once admired, chattered nonsense, and finally revealed the real reason that led you and Xia Youjie to tragedy at this moment——

You are indeed fit to be a witch.

It's a pity that it's not the kind that uses force to kill demons and demons.

Just like Cuizi, the priestess Cuizi who used her soul to seal the murderous demons in the Heian period to make the jade of the four souls, as a priestess of the soul-fixing wine, your greatest value is actually to imprison other souls with your own life.

Although due to not being able to get the correct guidance, there are still many flaws in your use of spells.

But fortunately, as a warlock who has survived for a hundred years, he is very good at "guiding" younger generations.

Arrange some special tasks for you, and you will naturally save people and deepen your understanding of the art for Xia Youjie's wish.Then use the special-grade magic tool "Thirst Food" to cut open your spiritual core, leaving a place for other souls.

As long as you collect the four kinds of curses, thousands of curse spirits as auxiliary materials, and the soul of the maiden as a container, use the magic spell "vortex" to fuse the absorbed curse spirits into one, and you can synthesize a new one. "Cursed Jade", after making a wish to it devoutly, you can get everything you want.

"Become jade, and seal the most evil curse in this world in your soul."

"You must have survived as a shrine maiden for this moment, right?"

"And you can't take it anymore."

He has already "found out" your strength from Xia Youjie's memory, and he is convinced of your weakness and pity for your helplessness. The owner of "Thirst Food" tempts you with a gentle voice and a compassionate smile. You hold out your palm.

Lying in the palm of "his" is a pitch-black jade.

It has integrated the four curse spirits who were seriously injured at the big exchange meeting. It is a collection of "maliciousness", like a completely concentrated black hole, which is continuously swallowing the magic power around it.

You stared at the curse jade in front of you wordlessly.While "he" was speaking, the poisonous fire of resentment pouring out of your heart almost swallowed your soul.

As a witch who has personally come into contact with the "Jade of the Four Souls", you know very well the fate of fusion with the jade——

Completely losing the consciousness of being a human being, but relying on the obsession in life, endlessly suppressing the monsters in Yunai, and mechanically responding to the wishes of the holders.

So this sanctimonious man is just trying to persuade you to die in a decent way.

They always do.

In the name of love, you are put in a cage, and you are persuaded to become a witch who "chews wine" with a whip and derogatory words.

In the name of righteousness, I want to imprison you in jade and kill your lover in that long bitter summer.

You are never given any choice.

The moment "he" entered the house, the curse left by "Thirst Food" was activated.As time progresses, you can clearly hear the continuous shattering of the spiritual nucleus in your abdomen.

This pain gnaws at your soul and competes for your control over your body, so you can only passively "listen" to his "teachings".

always like this, always like this, always like this...

Why do you have to be treated like this? !

"If you really want me to seal evil spirits as a priestess... you who used other people's corpses without authorization, shouldn't you be the first to be sealed?"

"There has always been only a shrine maiden who guards jade, not a monster like you, right?"

The gods of Amber River chose you!

Back then, the Jade of the Four Souls responded to your own wish!

Die, die, die to me.

You will never allow anyone to take everything from you again.

The once bright red "flowers" on the spiritual core turned into pitch black due to corrosion, and the stretched petals curled up dryly.After losing the decoration of the curse pattern, it turned into what it used to be, the wound left by "love", empty and ugly.

If it is no longer beautiful and destined to bring pain, it is better for you to dig out this rotten sore from your body.

You buried your fingers in your stomach.

Aware of your intentions, the tainted flesh wriggled like a living thing, stretching out countless black blood vessels, trying to reconnect with your body.

Along with the viscous blood and the wailing screams, what dripped was scorching flames.It's as if the anger in your heart has condensed into a solid body, and the ferocious curse rolled on the tongue of fire, burning it to ashes.

The warlock An Ran watching your "dying struggle" showed a surprised expression.

Gaozhuan's "Panda" curse skeleton can have multiple spiritual cores, there's no reason this technique can't be used on you.After digging out the red toon from the abdomen, you still have a spiritual core——

That is Su Nuo's curse of "I will never allow you to die until I find you".The flower pinned to your hair by him with a smile responds to your wish at this moment and blooms to its peak.

Four arms with curse patterns appeared silently, they supported your crumbling body, held your wrist, and led you to raise the blade to the curser.

It can be turned into a weapon that tears countless monsters apart, and it can also form an iron wall to protect your safety.

So come dance.

Before this body collapsed completely, the pain of the past ten years and the unwillingness of the past century were poured out at this moment.

……

The curse master who came from nowhere took Xia Youjie's spells, and he must also bear the side effects of the alcohol left in his body.

When Xia Youjie defected, he didn't want to force you to stay by his side, so naturally he can't force you to die now.The warlock muttering "what a stupid man" finally fell to you.

But your condition is not much better.

The inversion technique on the curse flower cannot cure the pain of the wound. After repeated tearing and healing processes, the pain that almost makes you lose consciousness sweeps over your body, and every time you make a slashing action, a burst of blood mist will fall.

His knees were weak, his hands were trembling, and his bloodless cheeks were as white as dead wax.

While putting your arms on the warlock's neck, you also fall to the ground in a forward leaning position.

After picking apart the sutures with a knife blade and turning the warlock's brain into blood wine and putting it in the wooden box, the consciousness remaining on the corpse finally emerged for a short time.

"Sorry……"

"Please live."

The pure white ball of light emerges from his body, hovers around you with attachment, and carefully approaches your damaged belly, conveying the last thoughts of the deceased.

And you stared at the man's corpse, only feeling tired.

The first encounter was in the battlefield a hundred years ago.

For the first time after death, you have a husband who will love you with his own will and live a life like a dream.

He will read the book for you with a gentle voice, pick off the dew-stained camellia with his long fingers, and gently lift your veil...

The second time we met was in the early morning of spring rain.

Holding an umbrella, the boy crossed the river formed by cherry blossoms, bringing you from a remote village into the prosperous world.

He said that old dreams can be reunited, he will teach you how to save money like an ordinary girl, and he will walk with you all over the small shops in the suburbs for an unimportant gift...

Every time, every time, I fell in love with this man.

...That's why I left deep wounds when I was abandoned, and in the end all my likes turned into dislikes——

You really hate Xia Youjie.

If you hadn't met him, you who have been hiding in the countryside would not have thought of looking for the Jade of the Four Souls.

If he hadn't been stupid enough to choose to save others, you wouldn't have resumed your job as a witch, made a pure and flawless posture, kept forcing yourself to use spells, and finally fell into the situation where you needed to fill yourself with other people's souls.

There is a grievance and a debtor. As compensation for the spiritual core being swallowed whole by "thirst food", you should indeed take back his soul and swallow him into your stomach.

But it is precisely because it is so annoying that there is only endless pain and tears together, so it is better not to get involved with him.

"I don't want it, I hate you."

"Whether in the next life or in the next life...don't meet me again."

Never again, never again...

Just as he left cruelly at that time, you don't want him in retaliation.You swung that soul away and cast such a curse on him.

……

After the ten-year revenge, Su Nuo's power stored in the curse flower also came to an end.The red flowers that are in full bloom are gradually withering, and your consciousness is also blurred.

Sitting paralyzed in a pool of blood, you stretched out your cold fingers to the pitch-black gem, and stuffed the only way of life into your torn belly.

Piously say the last wish:

"Yu, let my wish come true."

Is it destiny?

When you met a hundred years ago, you took out all the power of the jade of the four souls, dragged him through the 70-year family wine, and dragged him to the day when he was sealed by "Heaven".

A hundred years later, you ran towards the world of freedom, only to fall in his hands again.

The two of you have been pulling and pulling.

Did you drag him into the curse of love in the end, or did he lure you into the hell where he is?

It's completely unclear.

You can only pray to Jade by instinct——

If you are destined to suppress the evil in this world, let you hold that man in your arms and bring that dark sun into hell.

Give you the power to control your own destiny.

Give you a love that will not be separated.

Because you swallowed the soul of the super warlock and accommodated the precious jade, even though you are gradually losing your human functions, the increase in mana still restores the remnant body with only four arms to its original posture.

The flowers on the forehead have withered, and I have no strength to drive it anymore.

But he still took the initiative to hold you in his arms, who was in a panic.

What is it saying?

His whole body is being transformed into a new wishing machine, his eyes are out of focus, and his ears are deaf.

Before you completely lose consciousness, you can only feel that it puts something in your palm——

Scarlet, warm, pulsating.

It must be something important, right?

With this thought in mind, you carefully put your closed fingers into your arms and fall into the world created by jade.

……

In the sticky blood-colored sky, the dark mud rain kept pattering down, falling on the moist, soft, dark brown ground.

When the sad cool wind blows, the smell of stench hits the face.

Scary ghosts are everywhere.

There are distorted human figures dressed as ordinary farmers holding hoes and ropes, there are rotten corpses in rich clothes holding whips, and there are monsters whose names cannot be named.

The most eye-catching thing is the black mud-shaped monster.There are hundreds of pale faces inlaid on the huge body like a hill.Every face has a ferocious and sad expression, looking around with bloody eyes, and uttering vicious curses with a mouth full of sharp teeth.

I don't know who I am.

I don't know where this is.

All that is known is the goal of surviving.

Come in with you, and a nasty weirdo with seams in his head, who seems to be the one who killed these monsters.

You push him decisively into the roaring tide, turning around and running while they rush to devour his soul.

But where should I go next?

What replaced the reply from the chaotic brain was the temperature rising from the palm.It's as if someone took your hand and pointed you in the right direction.

Take you to escape the blood-stained sacrificial square, pass through the dark village full of thatched houses, walk through the long night road without the moon, and finally arrive at a small shrine——

The eaves look like human teeth, the pillars are inlaid with white bones, and there are strangely shaped pots piled up in the corners.

It's a strange place.

But the clay sculptures enshrined on the shrine are very beautiful and make you feel very familiar.

Push away a few horned skulls that get in the way, and you curl up at the back of the shrine, carefully hiding yourself under a dark tulle, hiding in a small corner of this crazy world.

【very scary】

[There are things that can hurt me everywhere. 】

[If this is a nightmare, will everything return to its original state when the sun rises? 】

Even if you get temporary stability, you don't get any comfort.

You seem to have been in the same situation once today, holding a small wish, waiting for someone under the moonlight to answer your wish and take you away from the endless nightmare.

But what about the results?

Reality seems to be indistinguishable from nightmare.You are always alone in the end.

After they finish eating the warlock's soul, this place will soon become dangerous, right?

It's time to run away again...

Looking around anxiously, through the small window, what came into view was a scene that I had never imagined——

There is no need for a hypocritical moon, and a dark sun rises in the bloody hell that is not favored by the sun.

On the road lit by fire as bright as day, you see men fighting bloody battles.

The huge monster wriggling its legs and approaching here was smashed into the ground with a punch.

The blazing flames burned the twisted apparition to ashes.The majestic force broke down the decaying building into flying debris.

The earth trembled, and the light of the explosion shot up into the sky, parting the blood-colored dark clouds.

It was obviously an existence more terrifying than all the monsters in this world combined, but it tore everything in the nightmare to pieces.

……

When you came back to your senses, attracted by the bloody carnival, you had already reached the gate of the shrine.

Throwing down the broken halberd, loosening the broken blade, the only victor walks across the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood.

"I won and now you're mine."

"It can only be mine."

He wrapped his arms around your waist, bowed his head for you, and kissed your lips.

At the moment before you fell into the jade world, the two-faced Su Nuo took the initiative to hand over his heart to your hand.The bright red gift turned into a new spiritual core, beating in your chest, allowing you to maintain reason in the face of the crazy darkness.

It opens up a field for you to live in, and also serves as an anchor to call Su Nuo's soul body——

He forcibly broke into this "Battle Royale" game as a curse, and crushed these "insignificant" scum on your behalf, proving with practical actions that he is truly qualified to have the final contest with the "witch" the cursed king.

Yu's rules allow only one party to leave this world alive.

Then it is enough to become one person?

——Share a heart, and continue to entangle in the years that don't know when it will end.

Su Nuo holds your wrist and lifts the wooden box to the dark world, brewing the melting curses into the wine of the clarified contract.

It's just that this time it's not you asking him for love unilaterally.

Under the control of Su Nuo, the wine was poured into two white jade wine glasses.

The cups collided and made a light "ding".

"Since you finally won it, then share this power."

"It's like the song you always like to sing in front of me."

"Now you should be satisfied, right?"

Exclaiming in a helpless voice, the man drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Love is hugging, love is controlling, it is because the other person is too strong and afraid of being abandoned, it is because the other person is too weak and afraid of hurting him.

It's about smashing yourself and tearing each other apart.

In the end you become one with him.

Are you satisfied?
