Even the curse spirit has to "ohhh"

【Xia Youjun, do you hate non-artists? 】

Xia Youjie took the bus up the mountain, propped his head on one hand and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Panoramic views of the mountains can be seen from here.

The sun shines on the peaceful village below the mountain, which looks warm and harmonious, but everything is so glaring to him.

As the "strongest" he used to be, the missions he receives are getting more and more difficult now, and he no longer goes on missions with Gojo Satoru.

In the hot summer, the constant chirping of cicadas and the disgusting smell of mantra lingering on the tip of his tongue made Xia Youjie's nerves more and more tense.

He couldn't forget it, even after such a long time, he still couldn't forget it.I can't forget the death of Riko Tiannei, and I can't forget the ugly faces of those non-magic masters of Panxing Sect.

What should I do? Do spells really exist to protect non-magicians? To protect such people?

Obviously, he firmly believed in this point before, but now it is completely denied.He loathes himself for being like this.

But even more disgusted are those non-magicians who are 'protected' by them.

He couldn't think too much, didn't want to think too much, didn't want to deny his original beliefs, so he was desperately doing tasks, trying to numb himself.

Today's crusade mission is the curse spirit in the shrine on this mountain.All the people in this shrine died because of the curse spirit. According to the investigation, it probably looks like a second-level curse spirit.

But it's not a very difficult task, it's easy for him now.

So he came over alone first, without even waiting for the special car.

It was only after taking a taxi to the bottom of the mountain that Xia Youjie knew that only fixed buses could go up the mountain, otherwise he could only walk up.

"Brother, are you here to investigate?" the bus driver asked, "Now there is no one in the shrine."

"Yes, the person who came to investigate." Xia Youjie forced a smile, perfunctory the driver.

He is the only one on this bus, and it seems that the last one is the same.

"Really, alas, there are almost no people going up the mountain now. I have only picked up a person like you these days, and the government has not given a clear answer, and it has not been broadcast on the news at all. I hope you will soon Come up with a result." The driver is obviously very interested in the shrine.

"But I heard from others that those people probably did something that would be punished by the heavens, such as worshiping evil gods or doing disrespectful things."

"Curse?"

"That's right, otherwise, how could they all die overnight, and the death conditions are so miserable." Seeing that he was in a good mood, the driver talked more and more.

"And the shrine is such a sacred place, it's impossible for ghosts and gods to touch it, right?"

"Probably so." Xia Youjie looked out of the window indifferently, then glanced back at him.

"But the government is really incompetent, and it hasn't been resolved after so long. By the way, I heard that a group of children at the bottom of the mountain sneaked in from the woods behind the mountain after hearing what happened on the mountain.

As a result, the adults in the village couldn't find anyone the next day. They went up the mountain to look for them, and found that all the children were dead.

I really get chills when I think about it, and I will resign after I finish this month's class. "

The driver in front of him chattered endlessly for an unknown amount of time, Xia Youjie maintained a good upbringing and did not interrupt him, his head swelled with pain.

It's always like this, even if I tell you thousands of times, this kind of thing will happen, so there is no way to die.

Don't want to see, don't want to talk, don't want to hear.

The driver's voice overlapped with the chirping of cicadas, and Xia Youjie felt his mind buzzing.

He regretted getting in the car a little. Instead of listening to the driver's chatter in the car, he might as well run up the hill by himself.

The place to get off is halfway up the mountain, and the next stone steps need to be walked in. It is precisely because the driver has no way to go up, so he has not been killed.

This is just a small shrine on a mountain in a remote village, and few people clean it, especially after all the maidens of the shrine died, and the stone steps were covered with fallen leaves and dust.

Xia Youjie walked the long path for less than a minute, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the torii gate and the snake-like curse spirit entangled on the torii gate.

Manu Ling lazily opened his eyes, his eyes froze and he rushed towards him with a roar, Xia Youjie easily jumped away.

It is indeed a second-level curse spirit.

However, getting rid of it is unbelievably simple for Xia Youjie now, all he needs to do is let the spell spirit he controls fight casually.

Xia Youjie lazily summoned the curse spirit, jumped behind the curse spirit and began to ignore it with lowered eyes, and even leaned half on the jade wall to play with his mobile phone.

He didn't play for too long, and when he looked up again, the curse spirit in front of him had been beaten to death, and he only needed to gather it into a curse core and eat it directly.

Although Xia Youjie had eaten this disgusting thing countless times, and even ate it without changing his face from the very beginning of retching, but getting used to it didn't mean he wouldn't feel disgusted.

"I don't want to eat..." He rarely complained.

This taste is disgusting just thinking about it, even pigs can't eat it.

"What don't you want to eat?"

A childish voice suddenly came from behind.

Xia Youjie's eyes suddenly turned cold.He didn't even notice that there was someone behind him. Who was it?

He jumped back a step vigilantly, then turned his head coldly.

"Who--"

When he turned around and saw the person behind him, his eyes widened in shock——

There is no strange person or spirit behind him.

It was an indescribably cute girl, about ten years old, dazzling like the sun.

She has skin that is as fair and soft as a cloud, blue eyes that are as clear as stars, and a face that is so delicate that it looks like it has been blessed by a god.

The girl's body shone with a layer of holy golden light, which was bright but not dazzling. The sacred light seemed to be the birth of a god from a shrine.

So dazzling.

"Good morning, big brother."

"……Good morning."

Subconsciously, Xia Youjie also greeted her.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this." The god-like child blinked and looked at him suspiciously. "Brother looks weird."

Her eyes reflected Xia Youjie's dazed look.

Those eyes were so beautiful, much more beautiful than the most beautiful pupils Xia Youjie had ever seen - Gojo Wu's pupils of the sky with white mist.

Just looking at her, all the negative emotions disappeared as if being blown away by the breeze, and the air seemed to become fresh.

His mind was blank, and he couldn't hold anything else.

"Oh... Huh! Are you... the god of this shrine?" Xia Youjie stared blankly.

Oh, oh hoo? ?By the way, what the hell is that "oh hoo", why did he suddenly say such strange things? ?

The feeling of shock made Xia Youjie suppress his surprise at the "oh hoo".

The holy light emanating from this child is definitely not the negative power drawn from the curse, but a positive one, which has never been seen before.

Xia Youjie thought about it, and came up with an answer that was so ridiculous that he thought it was funny even if he said it himself.

"Haha, what are you talking about, big brother, how could I be a god." A silver bell-like laughter sounded in the air.

Zhaoqiao Xinmei was amused by him.Even if he is so cute, he never thought that someone would regard him as a god.

"Really." Xia Youjie looked at Zhaoqiao Xinmei suspiciously.

If it is not a god, is it a curse spirit?This is also impossible.

He really couldn't think of a new reasonable reason for such an unusual posture.

Xia Youjie looked at his fingertips.The curse core in his hand was still condensed on his fingertips, he hadn't had time to eat it just now, but was interrupted by the child.

This girl looks like she can't see the magic spirit, but is it possible for the non-magician to have such a magical power?

He thought for a moment, then glanced at the curse core on his fingertips.

Just right, to try it out, since it's just a child anyway, even if you can't see it, you won't think too much, and people with eyes won't think that a child with a layer of holy light on their body is an ordinary child, right?

Xia Youjie put on a smiling face, pretending to be gentle and kind.

He walked up to Zhaoqiao Xinmei and squatted down, put his fingertips in front of her eyes, and asked, "Little sister, can you see this?"

"Huh? This?"

Teruhashi Xinmei looked at his fingertips with nothing, and was surprised by his strange behavior.

She took a step back, and after a few dry laughs, she showed an awkward yet polite smile, "Haha, what does this mean?"

What is this person, what is this, raised a finger and said such strange words, wouldn't he be a weirdo?I really want to run.

No, you can't run away in such a rude manner, and being rejected by such a lovely self, that would be too hurtful.

This man was already sad enough.It felt like he was terribly lonely just now.

"What do you mean, do you mean to touch it?"

Zhaoqiao Xinmei restrained her impulse, and lightly touched Xia Youjie's fingertips with her short fingers as if to comfort Xia Youjie from embarrassment.

"Sorry, I can't see anything." Zhaoqiao Xinmei said in embarrassment, a faint blush appeared on her soft little face.

No, no, she can't help it.

Zhaoqiao Xinmei said sorry, but Xia Youjie on the opposite side showed no disappointment at all.

His eyes widened, staring at his fingertips in an uncanny daze.

Just now, when the immature and white child's finger touched the curse core with holy light, the curse core seemed to have been purified in half, and disappeared without a single pause.

"What, can't see?"

A person who can't see anything can easily eliminate the curse?This is the curse core of the second-level curse spirit.

Don’t you even know what kind of miracles you have in your body?

"Yes, I'm sorry." Zhaoqiao Xinmei nodded, after hesitating for a moment, she raised her hand and touched Xia Youjie's head, "Don't be sad, big brother."

Although I don't know what he is talking about, Xinmei, who is very sensitive to other people's emotions, can feel that he is very sad.

Is it because I said I didn’t see it, ahhh, um, is it possible that the eldest brother has a second-school illness, always feels that he is a superpower, or the kind of special protagonist?

It's even more pitiful when you think about it this way.Zhaoqiao Xinmei looked at him with pity.

"...No, thank you, I have already got the answer I want to know." Xia Youjie cheered up and asked. "My name is Xia Youjie. You... what's your name, why are you here, it's very dangerous here."

He wants to take this child back now. If he brings her back to the high school, the mystery of her body will be solved soon, but he can't disregard the child's wishes.

It is best to keep in touch.Even if you only know the name, you can check the child's information carefully when you go back.

It would be great if Wu was here, with his "six eyes", he would definitely be able to see what was going on with this child.

Not a sorcerer, with positive power like the power of a god, without a trace of magic power in his body.It has a beauty that does not resemble a human being, but it is indeed a human being physically, and now it seems that it is also mentally.

name?And this weird honorific name is so strange!

Zhaoqiao Xinmei took another half step back vigilantly.

There are many people who ask her name, although they never hurt her, but Mom and Dad said that if a stranger asks her name, you can't tell it casually.

Although they won't hurt her, but because they like Xinmei so much, they will have the urge to make Xinmei their own child, so they can't approach strangers casually.

Especially weirdos like this brother.

Besides, her parents and her brother are still waiting for her at the shrine, so she can no longer spend time on this big brother. The happiness I gave him today is enough. If she didn't want to go back and see her brother, she wouldn't be so active Let's talk.

But it would be too pitiful to be directly rejected by such a lovely self. Xinmei always thinks that he is not a bad person, and this big brother still looks lonely.

"By the way, big brother, this is for you. It's delicious. If you're very hungry and don't want to eat bad food, please eat this."

Xinmei didn't answer his words directly as if she didn't hear him. She hesitated for a while, took out the last candy from her pocket, and put it in Xia Youjie's palm.

It is a toffee in the shape of a rabbit. It looks pink and tender, and it is a taste that children will like.

"May God be able to protect you and fulfill your wish. I will leave first, my family is still waiting for me at the shrine."

After putting the candy in Xia Youjie's palm, she quickly bypassed Xia Youjie who was squatting on the ground, and ran towards the torii.

Xia Youjie's heart melted from her sweet smile, he didn't react for a while, and he also forgot that Zhao Qiao Xinmei didn't answer the question he asked at the beginning.

After Teruhashi Xinmi had passed through the torii gate, he came back to his senses belatedly.

"and many more--"

Where did the parents and brothers come from? There is no one in the shrine.And he didn't ask the child's name.

But when Xia Youjie turned around, the god-like child had disappeared, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

He searched around the shrine, and there were no human footprints in the dusty shrine, but he found a few small corpses after searching around.

But there was no trace of the little girl just now, as if she had evaporated into the air, without even a footprint.

Only the lovely piece of toffee lying in Xia Youjie's hand told him that what happened just now was not an illusion.

"Is this the toffee that Lord God gave me?" He rubbed his head teasingly, but slowly opened the toffee and put it in his mouth.

The sweet taste of toffee spread on the tip of his tongue. It was obviously something that children would like, but it made him feel a little warmth that he had not seen for a long time.

After putting the candy into his mouth, Xia Youjie neatly folded the candy wrappers and put them in his trouser pocket.He stopped his hand in mid-air, thought for a while, and put it back into the inner bag.

"It's so sweet, if you realize it, you should like it very much."
