The next day, it was a sunny day, but it still couldn't change the cold weather. The exhaled breath turned into white mist.
It rained yesterday, and as expected, when I woke up today, the ground was covered with snow.
The school organized all teachers and students to engage in snow clearing activities.
Students were playing in the snow while clearing it. From time to time, snowball fights between people who knew each other would accidentally injure other people. As a result, more and more people were involved in this 'war'.
Xia Youyuanluo calmly lowered his head, turned sideways, and bent down... to avoid the snowballs that passed him one after another.
"What are you doing! Stop playing!" shouted the man with a teacher badge around his neck.
This lets students know who he is even if they don't know him.
Seeing that it was the teacher, the noisy students gradually calmed down and obediently lowered their heads to sweep the snow. However, as soon as the teacher turns his head or is out of sight, he starts to make small moves.
One class was spent clearing snow, and the second class was held as normal. This made most of the students who had just been excited about playing in the snow unable to calm down, and their spirits flew outside the classroom.
The teachers were anxious and helpless when they saw this, especially the senior students who were facing graduation.
"Okay, just calm down. The exam is in six months. Take the time to review. Don't be upset about missing one or two points by then. There's no point regretting it."
Xia Youyuanluo lowered his head and read a book. When most people were agitated, he remained calm as usual.
The teacher on the podium looked at Xia You Yuanluo with joy. It would be great if every student could be like Xia You.
Five p.m.
The school bell rang.
Qian Yingxun almost couldn't wait and walked quickly to Xia Youyuanluo's table. At this time, Xia Youyuanluo was still collecting books.
"Xia Youjun, we made an appointment yesterday." The girl's face was flushed with excitement, as if she was afraid that Xia Youyuanluo would regret it.
Xia Youyuanluo raised his head and looked at Qian Yingxun, who could no longer hold back. His voice was magnetic and clear, with a rising tail. He chuckled and said in a gentle and caring tone: "Well, I promise you."
Qian Yingxun's face turned redder.
Xia Youyuanluo has a good appearance, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people liking him - maybe some people would like nerds.
The prerequisite for being loved is to have an excellent appearance, and then the soul inside.
After all, the first thing people see is the appearance, not the soul. Whether your soul is interesting or not can only be known through subsequent contact, and whether there will be subsequent contact is uncertain.
Qian Yingxun, like most girls, likes Xia Youyuanluo most fundamentally because Xia Youyuanluo is handsome.
After packing up his things, Xia Youyuanluo turned around and smiled at Qian Yingxun: "Let's go."
*
Along the way, the girl was like a bird, chirping non-stop.
Xia Youyuanluo listened patiently to her sharing about her life, without any trace of impatience on her face.
--Of course.
How can a hunter be impatient when he catches his prey?
The fortune-telling stall was indeed not far away as Asakura Kaoru said, and it took about twelve minutes to walk there.
What came into view was a tent sandwiched between two buildings. In front of the tent was an A-shaped sign with a white piece of paper written on it: "Love, Health, Luck, Wealth, Future - Divination".
Looks very...cheap.
And cheap = unreliable.
"This is it." Qianyingxun turned to Xia Youyuanluo and said.
"Haha, it's you." A stooped old woman with a piercing face opened the tent curtain and walked out. She first glanced at Qian Yingxun, then moved her eyes to the boy next to the girl, and said with a smile: "This is..."
"He is the person I was talking about last time. Your divination and props are very accurate, and now our relationship is closer." Qian Yingxun lowered her eyes shyly, while speaking, carefully observing Xia Youyuanluo's reaction.
Of course they're not together yet.
But it's almost done, it just lacks an opportunity. She confessed before, but this time, she wanted to confess to Xia Youyuanluo.
If Mr. Xia You means that, then he will definitely take action after hearing her hints.
Thinking of the scene where his sweetheart confessed his love to him not long after, Qian Yingxun could not control his excitement, and his cheeks became increasingly red.
"Hello, I heard from Qianying that your divination is very accurate." Xia Youyuanluo didn't seem to notice the girl's secret excitement. His eyebrows were sparse, modest and gentle, like an elegant and noble young man from aristocratic family.
"Haha, I don't dare to say it, I don't dare to say it. So...are you here for divination?"
"Well, I want to try it and see if it's as accurate as Asakura-san said."
The old woman led the young girl into the tent.
After walking into the tent, Xia Youyuanluo discovered that there was a 'compartment' inside, separated by a piece of cloth, which made it look even cheaper.
"The fortune teller is coming with me, and those traveling with me will wait outside for a while."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yingxun stopped and watched Xia Youyuanluo follow the old woman into the back of the cloth.
There is a table at the back with a total of two stools facing each other.
The table was covered with a light blue velvet cloth, and a small aromatherapy burner was placed in the middle of the velvet cloth. Misty white smoke was emitting out, exuding bursts of fragrance. There was an alcohol candle next to the table, covered with glass. The candlelight brought a little light to the dim tent.
The old woman walked to the stool closest to the inside and sat down, indicating that Xia Youyuanluo should also sit down.
Xia Youyuanluo did as he was told.
After everyone was seated, the old woman picked up a stack of tarot cards with their backs on the table and sorted them out.
"Young man, what do you want to divine?"
Xia Youyuanluo wanted to pick out one of the advertisements he saw on the A-frame just now, but suddenly, he thought of something, bit the tip of his tongue gently, and said, "I wonder if it can be counted as past and present?"
The old woman smiled kindly and said, "Of course, past and present lives are also a hot topic."
Spreading the compiled Tarot cards into three groups on the table, the old woman said: "Among these three groups of cards, choose the one you feel most inspired by."
Xia Youyuanluo lowered his eyes and looked at the three sets of cards facing him on the table. He felt that they were all similar and there was nothing he wanted to choose, so he pointed at the closest one.
It stands to reason that tarot divination requires a lot of preparation. It is by no means just sitting down and drawing cards. This is too perfunctory and does not connect the elements at all.
Even the scene decorations are quite cheap and very unseemly.
This is also true.
The old woman's name is Abpo, and she is a curse master. Her magic ability is to cause death through [any] medium. She usually earns some 'hard money' by giving curses to some wealthy people to kill the people they want to kill.
Other than that, she just feeds her 'little cuties'.
Abpo has raised a lot of curse spirits, and these curse spirits reside in her medium - due to the power of the spell, any item Abpo can take can serve as a medium, but of course, the quality is not guaranteed.
Therefore, the more powerful the spell spirit is in her hand, the more powerful the medium inhabiting it is.
The curse spirit likes to eat people most and also likes to kill people.
One can imagine what Mrs. Abu used to raise her 'little cutie'.
Normally, Abpo would give the medium of the cursed spirit to ordinary people for safekeeping without knowing it. So the question arises, how to make these ordinary people carry it with them instead of throwing it away.
Abpo thought of divination.
Her spells can also simply surface and touch people's deepest memories through the 'medium'. Coupled with her sweet words, she can basically deceive someone accurately.
At the same time, her medium can also subtly influence the behavior of the carrier, allowing the carrier to bring other people to her.
If you want to say who is the easiest person to deceive in society, it must be students.
Abpo is not greedy either. She usually does a few jobs and then stops for a while. After ten days and a half, she moves to another school to continue committing crimes.
Not all people killed by curse spirits can go to the table of the Director of the Magic World. There are too many people who die at the hands of curse spirits in the world every day, and it is impossible to deal with them one by one. As long as the curse spirit kills not many people and has little impact, it is normal operation to just leave it alone and wait until someone is available to do it.
So more importantly, they are completely unaware.
There are too few manpower in the magic world, and they have to be isolated from ordinary people. It is the police who handle murder cases. And there are a few police officers who are aware of the cursed spirit. When encountering this kind of situation, most of them will end the cold case with brutal murder by the murderer.
Abpo has been free for decades. Even though Gojo Satoru was born more than 20 years ago, her situation is the best compared to other curse masters.
It was a pretty good life as a kid.
Not long ago, the female student Asakura Kaoru she deceived took away her red rope. The curse spirit residing in the red rope is a special-level one, but its function is more auxiliary. It does not have the killing power of a normal special-level curse spirit that can kill with one hit. .
This was also fed by Po Po little by little, otherwise a curse spirit without the ability to kill with one frontal hit would not be able to reach the special level and would not be able to survive.
The direction of this spell's ability is spiritual.
Spirit, space, and time are the rarest abilities. As long as you are given a chance to develop, your future will be limitless.
Since Abpo discovered this single Miaomiao, she has carefully fed it. If there is any good thing, it will be fed to it first.
The way 'Du Miaomiao' eats people is also very strange.
Unlike others of the same kind, the mouth is full of blood, bloody and stinging. Instead, it cannibalizes the opponent's spirit without touching a bit of the body. This is so economical, one food can feed two. One feeds the single seedlings, and the other feeds the other cursed spirits.
——Because there has been no curse on the soul so far, Abu Po didn’t know that what she thought was eating the spirit was actually eating the soul.
This is why Asakura Kaoru's abnormality stems from this.
Part of her soul was chewed out and she was torn in half alive. Half of it is crazy greed, which now dominates the body. Half of it is kindness and humility, suppressed in the deepest part of consciousness. The kind-hearted woman watched herself being devoured, and at the same time she watched herself, who had taken over the dominant control of her body, go crazy, intending to hurt the people she liked and the friends around her. She was in pain and gradually weakened in despair.
She was about to disappear.
Because the souls are the same person, even if Xia Youyuanluo had transparency, he didn't find anything wrong with Qian Yingxun.
It's not like he's possessed by something. Transparency is not the six eyes, which cannot see the soul.
And not everyone’s soul can see the six eyes.
Abpo stretched out her hand to pick up the Tarot card that Xia Youyuanluo touched just now.
Saw......
Saw......
Abu Po's eyes rolled up, revealing the whites of her eyes, and she looked panic-stricken.
Xia Youyuanluo had a lot of time to watch Abu Po's performance. He had already determined that Abu Po was a liar, and at the same time confirmed that Abu Po was the channel through which Qian Yingxun came into contact with the monster.
——With a clear view, there are more than seven or eight objects emitting monster aura (magic fluctuations) in this tent.
...
["Captain, do you want to kill them all?"
"Although the living ones with flaming red eyes are more beautiful,...the living ones are very disobedient. Then, kill them all, but be careful not to hurt the eyes."]
A ball of flame first appeared in Abpo's sight.
Then a figure swayed behind the flames, and the figure got closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer...
Abu saw it:
I saw a black inverted cross, and a pair of deep pupils without any darkness under the black inverted cross.
She froze in place, her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, her face was as pale as paper, her lips were pursed, her eyes were fearful, her heart was beating wildly, and there was only one thought in her mind:
He can't be discovered!
