Story of a pixel village next to the mantra

In the Mt. Minako area of ​​Sakyo District, Kyoto, one of the peaks is surrounded by layers of barriers that ordinary people cannot see. On it sits a large Japanese-style classical mansion.Usually there are only two or three servants cleaning and maintaining the mansion, but this morning, more than 10 servants came to clean every corner spotlessly.Now these servants are standing neatly on both sides of the gate of the mansion, ready to welcome the veterans of the magic world who came here for a meeting.

The car carrying Leyansi Jiashen has already driven into the mountain road of Jiezi Mountain. The mountain road is rough and bumpy, but the principal of Kyoto Mangao in the back seat is as motionless as a rock.

Although the population of the conjuration world is a drop in the ocean compared to the total population of Japan, and there are only a few newly discovered conjurers each year, the intricate connections in the circle that have developed over hundreds of years, the family that has lasted for hundreds of years, and the Japanese seniority sequence make the The rules and the right to speak in the magic world are in the hands of a fixed group of people.

Leyansi Jiashin is one of those in power. He is also the principal of the Kyoto High School of Conjuration, an important member of the Council of Elders, and the deputy director of the Conjuration Tribunal. He is also a conservative and pivotal figure in the sect.The meeting he attended at the Zuojing District Courthouse today was a semi-annual regular meeting of the high-level executives in the magic circle.Arriving at the destination, Leyan Temple Jiashen walked through two rows of people who bowed deeply at the door, and followed the guides to a Japanese-style sliding door.The door was opened from the inside, and Leyan Temple went to the side of the Bao and Shou factions and sat down to greet the people around him. Most of his surroundings were representatives of the Yusan family and the patriarchs of the small families attached to them, and several A patriarch of about his age.The seats furthest away from them are those from the Reform and Pai groups, most of whom are conjurers who have shown their talents in recent years, the members of the three branches of the Royal Family and some emerging families, and they are generally younger than the Conservative and Pai.

"Hmph, a bunch of little brats who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth." Leyansi Jiashen glanced at the group of people contemptuously, and then his eyes fell on the representative of the Wutiao family sitting between the two factions, "The Wutiao family thinks so too, right? "

The man drank the last sip of tea in the cup, nodded to Leyan Temple, "Who knows, maybe something big will happen in the magic world."

"Our duty is to nip these threatening things in their infancy." Leyansi Jiashen said coldly, "This is for the stability of the magic world and reality."

The meeting started. After the complicated opening speeches, the general managers of each place came out to summarize the work. At this time, it was the turn of the person in charge of supervising the status of the enchantment in the Kanto region to stand up and speak.

"The seals and barriers in Kanagawa, Chiba, and Gunma prefectures are all normal. The seals of Su Nuo's finger in Tochigi and Ibaraki prefectures have been strengthened. The rumors about blindman in Saitama prefecture have been sent to clarify and put in the hypothetical curse Set up an enchantment at the location where the spirit blindman haunted before. Tokyo Metropolitan..." Feeling that the gazes staring at him suddenly became stronger, the person in charge paused before continuing, "There is no problem with the enchantment near the curse high in Tokyo Metropolis. There is no sign of loosening the seals of Gao Nei's spell objects and spell tools. But 3 days ago, in the village more than 20 kilometers away from the curse height, the temporary barrier previously arranged shattered."

Discussions came from the table. Seeing that many people did not understand the specific situation, the person in charge began to explain, "When the Tokyo High School of Conjuration was first established, the conjuration community paid for all the surrounding land, and the school There is no-man’s land within 20 kilometers around. The village is just outside the scope of the purchase. Although the village expressed its desire to purchase, it was firmly rejected by the village head and villagers at the time. The village is separated from Tokyo Manga by a building Mountains, surrounded by mountains, the population of the village is not very large, so it was not taken care of back then.

Nothing happened to the village in the next few decades.Until 2 years ago, the village slowly declined. This is also a normal development. Young people have gone to work in big cities, and only the elderly are left in the village.The village head also passed away 2 years ago, and the seat of the village head has been vacant since then. I heard from the villagers that the next village head has been selected, but he has never returned.Because the village is near the curse height, every half a month there are magicians to check whether there are curse spirits or invading cursers.But since 2 years ago, the village seemed to be hidden by the gods. The conjurers sent there often couldn't find the entrance of the village. Even if they drove behind the bus to and from the village, the bus often disappeared after a certain turn. It was time to drive back intact, the driver didn't feel anything unusual, and there was no spell left on his body.

Starting half a year ago, bus drivers often couldn’t find their way to the village. They drove along the same route. Sometimes the end was at the entrance of the village, and sometimes it was a mountain wall or a cliff. The drivers said that the souls of the villagers died If you are stuck, if you want to pull the dead ghost in to replace yourself, you dare not open this line.The bus company can only find a reason to increase the operating cost by three times. If the village cannot pay the money, the bus station will stop. "

The person in charge stopped to take a sip of tea. Seeing everyone staring at him, he hurriedly continued, "Since the bus stopped running, we have been looking for ways to get to the village. There are no spells to find people or find objects. Yes, we also hired Ming Ming from Tokyo Manga to control the crow to explore the whole area around the village, but the closer to the village the crow’s visual feedback becomes blurred. The last time I went to the village was 3 months. . Specifically 95 days ago, the conjurer sent there met a middle-aged male villager who was about to go home after shopping. The conjurer said he was a folklorist, so he took his car and went to the village together. The villager was an ordinary person , there are no curse spirits or curse masters in the village, and the villagers have not encountered any strange things. The person was not affected, so I went back to do business. Until 3 days ago, the conjurer who set up the enchantment reported to me that the enchantment was shattered by a powerful force."

The voice of the discussion on the table instantly increased, and the representative of the Gotiao family asked: "How is the strength of the enchantment?"

The person in charge of the Kanto region thought for a while and replied: "The enchanter who set up the barrier is a second-level magician, and the spell power is very sufficient. The same level of magic spirits will definitely not be able to cause damage to the barrier. We judge that it is a spell spirit of level 1 and above. Or the curse masters of level 2 and above have destroyed the enchantment, the purpose is unknown, and it is very likely that they have entered the village."

"Have you received any news of casualties?" the Wutiao family asked.

"I have confirmed with the nearby police station before the meeting, and there is no news." The person in charge reported this, but he was thinking that in this case, it would be fine if it was a curse master, but if it was a curse spirit that invaded, the village might not be alive. people.

At this time, Rakuganji Kashin cleared his throat, "Since it is next to the Tokyo Curse High School, the Tokyo Curse High School is responsible for this matter. The Six Eyes of the Gojo Family also enrolled this year, so let him investigate."

As if aware of your anger, a prompt pops up at the top of the screen: "This is a village with only left-behind elderly people, but three months ago, a stranger with evil spirits and magic tricks came to the village.
