Curse this wonderful world

33: [The Curse of 33]

However, the boys and girls are not as awe-inspiring as Mr. Assistant Superintendent imagined.

Five minutes later, looking at the seemingly endless trees in front of him, Fukaba's face had lost all expression.She couldn't help sighing again, the job of a conjurer is really amazing.

Just one firefighter is not enough.They are basically underage firefighters plus policemen plus geological exploration—the focus is on underage!

The originally looming loess trail has long been submerged in dense and wildly overgrown weeds and ground cover.Looking back, I couldn't see the shadow of the way I came from.At this moment, they are surrounded by tall and sturdy trees, fir, elm, pine, cypress... 360-degree field of vision is filled with all kinds of straight or curved trunks and shrubs under them.They are packed close together like a fence.It was midsummer, and these 40-7-meter-high trees were as dense as waterfalls, with lush and dense branches and leaves overlapping each other, as if covering the two of them with a huge green canopy that was impenetrable to the wind—these were neither mosquitoes nor mosquitoes The problem is that "airtight" here is not an adjective.Although there is no direct sunlight, there is no wind in the overly dense original ecological broad-leaved forest. In the afternoon of July, it is completely a steamer!

It is also the first time for Shen Yu to experience such an environment-the mafia doesn't go deep into the mountains and old forests.It was hot and stuffy, and I didn't make any preparations. Just a few steps ago, many bloodstains were drawn on the grass leaves on my calf.It doesn't hurt, but...

The calf was scratched by the sharp miscanthus blade again, Shen Yu sighed, "I seriously think that the school should open a wilderness survival course first. If there is no corresponding spell in this kind of place, let alone find the magic spirit, Are you going to lose yourself?"

"Ah, I feel the same way." Xia You raised her hand to wipe away her sweat. "That's why we're here."

The mission they received only said "the curse spirit is in this forest", the coordinates of the location are very vague, and the level is also unknown.It's not so much an extermination mission, it's better to let them confirm the specific situation of this "unknown".Originally, Xia Youjie thought that the two of them would not be needed just to confirm, but now that he saw the environment, he understood.

Even if you don't lose it, heat stroke or dehydration can be bad in this weather.Conjurers don't know how to be warm in winter and cool in summer, and so many environment debuffs are added halfway, won't their combat effectiveness be greatly reduced when exorcising them?

That is to say, the spell is especially suitable for him to find the enemy, and the deep feather that can be used as long as he can use [Look] can maximize the energy efficiency—ah, the unlimited limit of a certain mosquito repellent is not in the scope of discussion—so once he enters the forest , Xia Youjie cast out the magic spirits used for investigation.

That's right.But... Shen Yu looked up with vacant eyes, "Isn't it because we are the most convenient?"

Xia Youjie tilted his head and smiled wryly, "I can't refute it."

The mountain at their feet belongs to the foothills of the female mountain in Tochigi Prefecture, and two more mountains to the southwest are the famous world heritage Nikko Toshogu Shrine.Their original mission was to exorcise the curse spirit there.Now this is added just before departure.

At the foot of Nvfeng Mountain, there are more than 2000 high mountains above 20 meters.Unlike Toshogu Shrine, which is full of tourists, the place where they are now is a deserted corner of the foothills.There used to be a village nearby, but it was moved away more than ten years ago because of the development plan of Nikko City.All that was left was a gravel road that could barely fit a car and the abandoned houses they had seen on the way here.Generally speaking, the priority of spell spirits in this kind of place is very low—there is no one left, so you still need to worry about being victimized?In comparison, where is Tokyo not more urgent than it?But because the person who encountered the curse was the local police who brought the murdered criminal to confirm the location of the abandoned corpse, five police officers and one prisoner escaped in the end and only one police officer escaped. "Window" rushed to the scene immediately after receiving the contact from the police, but did not find the curse spirit—no way, the terrain is not very friendly—but found the remains of two police officers, and confirmed the obvious filth.

The curse master is obviously not so boring, and the local police station attaches great importance to this matter.The total population of Nikko City is only 10,000+, and this murder case has attracted a lot of attention recently.There is a curse spirit = the police cannot approach = the body cannot be identified = the case cannot be closed.Coupled with the fact that police officers were killed, it cannot be ignored due to emotion and reason.Considering the urgency of the situation, "window" first reported it as "unknown level".After the news reached the high school early in the morning, the person in charge of assigning the task saw that Shen Yu and Xia Youjie were originally scheduled to go to Tosho Palace today, and immediately added the task.

Shen Yu and Xia Youjie were no newcomers, and after hearing this discovery, they knew that most of the curse spirits here were related to the murderer and the victim.Otherwise, where does the "negative emotion" come from in a place where there has been no one for more than ten years?The facts are exactly the same. The information brought by Mr. Assistant Supervisor is more detailed, including the circumstances of the case.The prisoner had confessed his crime before being killed. He himself confessed that when he was about to abandon the body, he found that the victim was still alive, so he killed her again somewhere in the forest, and then divided the body.

That's right, "she".The victim was a young woman under the age of 20.Xia Youjie's expression was not very good when he read the information.At this moment, he was silent again after finishing his sentence.Shen Yu [looked at] a glance at him, but also wisely stopped speaking.Panting, she reached out and pinned a few loose strands of hair behind her ears, then tied the bottom of her shirt into a bow around her waist.

They still have a way to go.Although it says "unknown", the curse spirits born in this situation will not be very strong. As long as they are not super-class like real people and others, generally the spell spirits without intelligence will not run too wildly.The murderer's confession has a general location range. Although Xia Xia's curse spirit hasn't found the target yet, it's always right to go in that direction first.

On the contrary, after Xia Youjie came back to his senses, he saw Shen Yu's serious face ready to go, and after a little thought, he curled the corners of his mouth.

"I'm fine. It's you..." He stretched out his hand, and the spell started, and beside him was a dark and dark curse spirit—it was the "sick weasel" that Shen Yu helped catch before.Taking a step forward, Xia Youjie picked up the girl whose bangs were stuck to her forehead with sweat as if she was holding her high, and placed her on the back of Mana Ling.

"It's not easy to walk in a skirt, is it?"

"Wow!"

The body of the "Weasel" is a slender strip. At this moment, its two mantis-like forelimbs poke on the ground, looking like a large canine animal with a particularly skinny back and no head and tail.Presumably because there is no spine in the traditional sense?As soon as Shen Yu stepped up, its "back" paralyzed - it was the kind of fluid paralysis that it would instinctively react when touching the cat's back.Fukaba tried to stabilize the balance, but "Scythe Weasel" not only has no hair, it also has no head - its only one eye is embedded in the forelimb - there is no place for her to grab at all.

This is a bit embarrassing.Shen Yu was quick to think, and simply leaned forward, stuck to its back, and wrapped its arms around its body.However, it was stable like this, but the entire "Sickle Weasel" was immediately pressed into a concave shape.Xia Youjie didn't expect the visual effect to be so interesting—he simply chose a slender one that could walk in the forest with more dexterity. After all, the one that is a few meters high is not for walking but for logging.

The boy's eyes immediately burst into a smile, "Hey, how about another one?"

However, Shen Yu didn't mind at all, on the contrary, she was happy. "It's okay, it's okay! This is good! Posture doesn't matter, saving energy is the most important thing." This is Xia Xia's curse spirit!Such an interesting experience, who cares about posture!

Although she wasn't that tired, Xia Xia was really considerate!

Don't tell me, "Scythe Weasel" has no body temperature, and it's not a greasy type. It's actually quite comfortable when it's cold against the ice.Thinking about it again, although this thing still loses the SAN spell, but it was caught by Xia Xia and raised by himself, Shen Yu is a little bit fond of the house and black

"Thank you! Xia You!" She gave Xia Youjie a thumbs up in a prone position, "When you arrive at Toshogu Palace, let me treat you well! Show you my witch power!"

"Haha~ Then I won't be polite." Xia Youjie nodded with a smile.Shen Yu has already given him a science popularization, and Toshogu Palace is also under the management of the main office of the shrine, which can be regarded as her "site".She said good hospitality, it is really worth looking forward to.After giving instructions to the mantra to follow, he took a step forward.

But Shen Yu couldn't help but said: "Xia You, don't you want to make one yourself?" She, a guest, was walking while the owner was walking, how embarrassing it was.

"I'm fine." Although he was a little hot, his physical strength was still bearable.The main reason is that there is no particularly suitable one at hand. So far, the directions he has chosen are mostly actual combat or surveillance, and his body size is either too big or too small. up.

Still, it was fun for her to lie on her stomach like this.Turning his head to look at the bouncing deep feathers hanging on "Sickle Weasel", Xia Youjie wanted to laugh again.

Of course Fukaha [saw] his thoughts, but the black-haired girl didn't care.Who hasn't got a little bit of a naughty taste?Instead, she simply relaxed her strength and really "hanged" herself on the back of the curse spirit.Shaking his hands and feet, he began to help Xia Youjie figure it out, "So we still need to get something that can fly. In the future, when this happens, we can wait outside until your spell finds its target, and then slap it again." Fly over." That feeling shouldn't be too handsome!

"Indeed." Xia Youjie nodded, "But the flying spell spirit is not easy to find."

——No, in fact, he really had one on him.only……

Xia Youjie touched his right trouser pocket through the fabric and narrowed his eyes.

"Let's look for it together, there are five more. I'm sure we'll meet soon!" Shen Yu's angle is [unseen] now, so naturally I don't know what he's thinking.The black-haired girl confidently encouraged her peers.His tone was very firm.After all, Xia Xia had manta rays and rainbow dragons in the second grade in the original work, and there will be big pelicans in the future!

The big pelican probably won't be able to catch it, but if it's a manta ray or a rainbow dragon, maybe she can still catch it?Thinking of this, Shen Yu's eyes lit up: "Xia You."

"Huh?" Xia Youjie turned his head, just about to listen to the second part of Shen Yu's words, when suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, "Shen Yu, get ready. We are going to speed up."

Shen Yu immediately circled "Scythe Itachi": "Found it?"

"Hmm." Sensing the disappearance of another curse spirit, Xia Youjie's eyes sharpened, "Something is not right."
