The road of the house owner of the pig in the Chanyuan

"Is this...directly transforming the human body?" After some time, Zhizai finally recovered his hoarse voice, looked at Xia Youjie sideways with some stiffness, and hugged a few Hopelessly, in a low voice, asked, "Will they ever get back to where they were?"

"...When they were alive, they were probably given orders, like zombies, they would only attack me in a random manner," Xia Youjie was silent for a moment, and did not answer Naozai's question clearly. He just put the phone back in his pocket, paused, and said with an even more ugly face, "But after they died, the spells imposed on them were not released... Their corpses, with the 'monster' The gesture survived."

"I can't recover after death..." Zhizai frowned and murmured, then suddenly glanced at Xia Youjie in shock, widened his eyes and said, "Isn't the curse spirit coming to this place——! "

"That's what worries me the most."

Xia Youjie nodded, and looked around. Right now, due to the broadcasting in the mall, the flow of people has gradually decreased. The huge shopping mall seems to be empty all of a sudden, without the bustle and bustle just now.

"Although I don't know why the curse spirit chooses to hide in this place, but if such a large shopping mall is used by it to perform spells here, the consequences will definitely cause huge panic, leading to further increase of negative emotions, and even more. Curse Spirit...Fortunately, the shopping mall has suddenly suspended business.” Xia Youjie paused for a moment, as if he had sensed something, looked at Naoya again, hesitantly asked, “Is this related to you? ?

"Well, because the firm also has a cooperative relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department," Naoya nodded, "I saw you on the first floor just now, and found that you looked a little strange, and thought that you should still be with Wu at this time. We should perform the task together, but Wu Wu's mobile phone can't be reached, so just in case, I asked the office to ask the Metropolitan Police Department to temporarily close the mall in the name of fire inspection, hoping it will not be too late. "

"No, it's already very timely," Xia Youjie shook his head and comforted, and when he looked at Naoya again, the emotion in his eyes was already somewhat complicated, "It's just that I didn't expect that besides the government/government, your office It even has contact with the Metropolitan Police Department."

"The Metropolitan Metropolitan Police Department has set up a special countermeasures department for spells and spells. In addition to the help of the Gojo family, there is also a contribution from the office. Therefore, the two sides often cooperate to exorcise spells," Naoya explained. "So it stands to reason that most of the curse spirits that appear in the urban area should be discovered by them in time."

"About this point, it may be because of the ability of the curse spirit itself." Hearing this, Xia Youjie's face darkened, "It can not only transform the human body, but also change its own body shape at will, and even abandon part of the body. As long as there is a slight gap, it can take the opportunity to escape, because of this, it has dodged my attacks several times."

"Have you fought against it?" Naoya was a little surprised, and then hurriedly asked, "Then have you left anything about it, as long as it has its breath, even a little bit."

"It...not really," Xia Youjie shook his head and asked curiously, "What do you want this kind of thing for?"

"I want the caramel milk tea and the two of them to smell it." Hearing this, Naoya showed a bit of disappointment on his face, but he was not too frustrated. "After all, according to what you said, this curse spirit is very cunning. Hidden on any shelf in the mall, or in the vent, if there is caramel milk tea, they can sniff the smell and search for this guy, it’s much better than we wandering around without our heads.”

"I was negligent," Xia Youjie couldn't help showing a bit of annoyance on his face after hearing this, "Obviously before I set off, I heard Wu mention that your shikigami can directly smell the breath of the curse spirit."

"I can't say that, after all, no one expected that we would meet here," Naoya waved his hand, "Since you can't find it by smell, you can only use a more troublesome carpet search, Jie, do you remember Does that curse spirit have any characteristics?"

As soon as the voice fell, more rabbits emerged from Naoya's shadow. The store on the lower floor is almost empty now, and Naoya no longer has any scruples when he releases the rabbits. The overwhelming rabbits are like a carpet. , spread rapidly towards the surroundings, and like a surging tide, penetrated into every corner of the shopping mall.

"...In terms of characteristics," Xia Youjie was amazed by the grand occasion of the 'sea of ​​rabbits' in front of him, and then he withdrew his expression and said slowly, "Its appearance is close to that of an adult man. It's just that the hair color is bluish, and there are obvious criss-cross stitches on the face."

"Human-shaped curse spirit..." Naoya's expression became more and more solemn, and after passing this information to all the rabbits, he asked again, "After you have fought with it, what do you think of its strength?"

"At least level one," Xia Youjie replied in a deep voice, "Besides, I don't really have any fights with it. Most of the time, it adopts defensive or evasive means, or uses the ordinary people it meets along the way. , To be honest, I always feel that it is deliberately leading me in the direction of crowds."

"Guiding you?" From Xia Youjie's words, Zhizai vaguely sensed something wrong, frowned and looked at the other party, and asked a little puzzled, "But why did it do this?"

"I don't know." Xia Youjie shook his head, and didn't take this matter too seriously. "But these are not important. The important thing now is to find it quickly so that it won't do it again."

Hearing this, Naoya stopped talking too much, closed his eyes, and concentrated on feeling the information conveyed to him by countless Tuotao from all directions. At this moment, his eyes stretched meanderingly with the help of the Tuotuo, like cables with lenses, Almost every corner of the shopping mall, everything in the shopping mall seems to be compressed into a small exquisite three-dimensional model, reflected in Naoya's mind, and can be seen in Naoya's eyes.

"I found it!" Soon, Zhizai discovered the human figure suspected to be Xia Youjie's description. The person was curled up in a corner like a closet, but for some reason, his back was facing his perspective, but Zhizai didn't care Without mentioning these details, he quickly said to Xia Youjie who was at the side, "This is the children's clothing area in the southwest corner."

After finishing speaking, Naozai jumped forward and rushed towards the southwest direction. Seeing this, Xia Youjie immediately followed, and within a few minutes, they arrived at the location reported by Tuotuo.

Seeing that a group of rabbits seemed to be afraid of something, they formed a circle with a distance of two or three meters between the shadows that were hard to see in the corner, and each of them bent over and erected their ears, erecting a full vigilance posture , guarding this seemingly inconspicuous little corner.

"It's inside?" Naoya looked at the Tuotuo in a circle, lowered his head and asked, and after getting a response from Tuotuo, he looked at the corner that was strictly guarded by them, frowned, and turned his head to the corner without looking back. Xia Youjie who came behind him said in a low voice, "Jie, the curse spirit is inside."

And as Naoya's voice fell, the shadow under his feet also gradually condensed into a shape, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a long bow covered in pitch black, slowly standing beside him.

Naoya picked up the longbow and skillfully drew the bowstring. On the bowstring that was supposed to be empty, but as the longbow was fully stretched, at a speed visible to the naked eye, a similarly pitch-black arrow quickly condensed. The only place where the arrow is, because it is too sharp, through the reflection of the lights in the shopping mall, reflects a cold light, pointing straight to the corner surrounded by the rabbits.

Xia Youjie on the side didn't give in. From the dark crack opened in the void behind him, he summoned the curse spirit he had subdued. He himself tightened his muscles and his eyes were sharp. To the shadow in the corner.

"Are you coming out by yourself, or do you need me to ask you to come out." Naoya said lightly, the coldness in the dark brown eyes was like substance, attached to the sharp arrow, adding a touch of sharpness to it.

"Oh, don't be so anxious." A slow but provocative voice suddenly sounded from behind the shadow in the corner, and the curse spirit that Xia Youjie had been chasing for a long time also came out of the shadow slowly. get out.

As Xia Youjie said, this is indeed a curse spirit with an almost adult appearance, especially its face, if those criss-cross sutures are removed, it can even be called handsome, and the light blue The long hair fell on its shoulders naturally and smoothly, especially after it gradually stepped out of the shadows, under the light of the light, the light blue long hair looked particularly eye-catching.

However, Naoya's eyes didn't stay on these things for even a second, since the moment the curse spirit completely walked out of the shadows, all his sights were immediately taken away by the things in its arms.

It was a human girl with long black hair and twin ponytails on top of her head. She looked almost as old as Xiao Hui, and she was only about three years old. Right now she was closing her eyes, sleeping innocently and obediently In the arms of the curse spirit.

"It would be great if I woke up the little girl," the curse spirit lovingly and gently stroked the little girl's hair. People felt startled, "It was hard for me to coax the little guy to sleep."

"What do you want to do?" Naoya asked in a cold voice. Because of the little girl, although he didn't put away his bow and arrow, the sight had shifted a few inches downwards and no longer aimed at the head of the curse spirit. Xia Youjie next to him seemed to be shackled by shackles for a moment, his face darkened, and he did not dare to act rashly.

"What do I want to do?" Curse Ling tilted his head and asked innocently, then chuckled, "I just want to find some interesting things for myself to pass the time, and I can still do it." What... like, the soul of this little girl I found."

Zhizai and Xia Youjie were concerned about the girl in the arms of the curse spirit, and they didn't dare to answer the words lightly. They just looked at the curse spirit in front of them without saying a word, neither attacking nor giving it a chance to escape .

"Her soul is a little special. It's not like the ordinary people before, but...it's very similar to yours." The curse spirit still smiled, and didn't take the hostility towards the two of them seriously. He looked leisurely and relaxed, but the words he uttered made people feel terrified, "Tell me, if this kind of soul is refined a little bit, will it become more interesting than those guys before?"

"I advise you to let her go." Naoya's voice became colder and colder, the bowstring stretched back a little more, and his eyes stared straight at the curse spirit opposite him.

"Hey, why are you so serious? It's really boring." The curse spirit shrugged and curled his lips boredly. "It's okay if I let her go. Why don't you let these little guys go away first?" After finishing speaking, it raised its head Raising his eyebrows, he raised his chin and pointed to the group of rabbits around him.

"..."

Hearing this, Naoya and Mana Ling looked at each other in silence for a while, and the latter let him look at him indifferently, without urging him.

"……it is good."

Finally, Zhizai agreed to the conditions of the curse spirit, and the countless Tuotus in a circle gradually retreated to the sides, and Xia Youjie behind Zhizai saw this, and also moved slowly towards the curse spirit on guard , and the arrow that Naoya landed on the curse spirit also slowly shifted along with the movement of the curse spirit.

"Um... Mom?"

But I saw the little girl in the arms of the curse spirit. I don't know if it was because of the movement of the curse spirit, she suddenly woke up on the way. She gently rubbed her eyes with her little hand, her expression was blurred, and there was a hazy drowsiness that was about to wake up.

Seeing this situation, both Zhizai and Xia Youjie felt tense in their hearts.

It was the mantra, who raised his eyebrows playfully, raised the corners of his mouth, rubbed his fingers against the girl's pink cheeks, tilted his head and murmured, "I didn't expect to wake up so soon..."

"Huh?" Feeling the touch from her cheek, the little girl raised her face slightly, blinked her eyes, and asked in confusion, "Big Brother? Who are you...?"

The little girl can see the curse spirit!For a moment, Zhizai and Xia Youjie thought about it in their hearts.

Manu Ling didn't speak, just smiled inexplicably, handed the little girl to Xia Youjie who had already walked about a meter in front of him, and said softly, "Come on, take it."

Xia Youjie glanced at the curse spirit, then looked at the little girl in its hand, cautiously and slowly stretched out his hand, supporting the girl's body, and the little girl was also looking at him curiously, probably just fell asleep Because of not long after waking up, the girl's eyes were still full of mist, which made her eyes especially flashy.

Before he knew it, the tension in Xia Youjie's heart relaxed a little because of the little girl.

However, Zhizai at the side could clearly see that the moment Xia Youjie just touched the little girl, the corner of the curse spirit's mouth evoked a strange arc, and the uneasiness in his heart finally broke out completely at this moment, For a while, he didn't care much, and shouted sharply, "Jie, be careful——!

Sudden accident.

In Xia Youjie's hands, the little girl swelled rapidly without warning, like blowing up a balloon, until it swelled into a round meat ball. bloodshot.

The whole process changed so quickly that before Xia Youjie could react, the little girl who had swelled to the extreme suddenly exploded in his hands, making a dull and loud noise.

In a daze, Xia Youjie felt that everything around him seemed to have quieted down, only some small sounds, hissing like a lingering rhyme in his ears, and the sound of piercing the sky coming from the direction of Naozai, and what seemed to be The muffled hum of the curse spirit was intertwined with it... But right now, none of these are important to Xia Youjie.

Blood splattered, pieces of rotten meat, and the little girl's light-colored dress that turned into rags, like scattered fireworks, fell all over his body, and he originally caught the little girl's body. At this moment, there was only a piece of bloody red in his hands, which almost penetrated into his bone marrow.
