[Spell Return] Curse

When the assistant officer brought the information of the victims into the room of Xia You and Wujo, what he saw were two boys wearing the bathrobes provided by the hotel but disheveled, blowing a small electric fan on the tatami mat, and the other boys who were sitting next to him. Serve sake with garnishes.

"Can I ask what happened?" he asked with a look of despair.

"Huh? Hahahaha, Wujo said that he will compete with Xia You, who can soak longer in the hot spring..." The drunken girl generously drank the drink in the small cup, "The rice wine here is really delicious. .”

Then these two talented rookies who were among the best in the high schools of all dynasties fell to the ground due to heat stroke and lost to the hot spring.

The remaining one started drinking without supervision.

"Please be a little bit more aware that you are performing tasks."

"Well, you know, I'm not drunk. After all, it's just sake. My highest record is three bottles of vodka?"

Are you an immigrant from Russia? ? ? ?The adjutant wanted to yell like that, but since he was only a fourth-level sorcerer, anyone here could hang him with spell power, even if they were all just children, none of them were adults, and even one of them was a weak girl.

The world of conjurers is unexpectedly much crueler than the world of ordinary people.

Talent is everything, talent is better than blood, even if you come from a famous family and have a strong blood, if you don't have talent and talent, you will be discarded as useless, and even if you come from a family of completely ordinary people, if you awaken a powerful mantra Like spells, it can trample the descendants of famous families under their feet.

"The information on the address is here. You can read it together when the two of them get better. If you need anything else, just come and knock on the door. My room is opposite... Sister Nitzi, go back to your room after drinking." Go? Don't worry about these two idiots."

"Okay! I stayed here to watch them because they suffered from heatstroke. It would be troublesome if they spit it out. I can't leave a bad impression on the hotel. I plan to play with my senior sister and the others during the winter vacation."

"It's good that you have the numbers, then I'll go to rest first." The poor old assistant sighed, and went back to the room resentfully. The only good news is that he can at least sleep well. Judging from this posture, he won't be here until tomorrow. The sun was so high that these three freshmen never got out of bed.

The assistant officer forgot one thing, the physical strength of a high-level conjurer is far beyond normal people, and the nitrous with healing ability is even left in the room, so it took two hours to soak in the hot spring until he got heat stroke The two children with problems regained their spirits. One drank iced banana milk and grabbed some snacks with Nitzi, and the other started to read new materials while drinking ice water.

"Here, Jie, the map you want." Anyway, he had a good drink, and happily treated the leftover side dishes as cat food. After messing up Wutiao's hair, he chose to put him, and took out the map they bought as soon as they arrived here Get down to business.

Xia Youjie took the five markers thrown over and marked the victim's home address on the map one by one, "Although I don't think the home address is meaningful, let's take a look for now-as expected, there is no special pattern."

"Isn't the problem now the missing people? Although it is marked as missing in the information..." Wujo asked with a fried shrimp tempura in his mouth.

"There are seniors in the school who are good at finding people who have seen it. They should all be dead." Xia You didn't turn her head, and threw the pen precisely at Wujo's head, "Don't talk while eating, the tatami is full of oil residue, It’s going to be a hassle to pack it up.”

"So, there really isn't a single corpse." Wuruo flicked away the marker nonchalantly, "Where do you think it went?"

"Is it in the stomach of the curse spirit? Probably?" Nitrogen said calmly, "Since divination and spirit summoning are useless, it is obvious that there is something 'special' that completely ate them up."

The missing persons are all men.

This connection point, which seemed useless at first, immediately attracted the attention of the three conjurers.

"What monster's recipe do you think is a man's?"

"Network bride?"

"Snow Girl?"

"There are no snow mountains near here." Xia Youjie looked at the map, "There are no ski resorts or similar areas. If it is a snow girl, the victims will not be limited to this place."

Obviously, the possibility of the bride of the net is higher. Although the moving distance is too large, it is not like what a spider who loves to sit on the sidelines will do, but it is still unknown how the victim came into contact with the curse spirit, so this suspicion cannot be ruled out for the time being. .

"This way the investigation will have a clue." The top student put down the file with satisfaction, "We only visited the two families that disappeared recently to see if we can find out the filth. As for the investigation of the friendship situation, let the police come forward. It is only by ourselves." Unrealistic."

Nitro yawned lightly, "Well, I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go back to sleep, and tell the assistant officer about this by the way, it seems that he will get up early tomorrow and run around all day."

"Is the healing ability also useful for fatigue?" Wujo asked very curiously.

"Probably? I'm not sure, but the beautiful girl's hug must be very effective for fatigue, after all, Mr. Assistant Officer is also very hard." The girl said with a smile.

Xia Youjie silently took out the ice towel that was used to cool down his forehead just now, and sprinkled some fragrance that came with the hotel drawer on it, "Before you say this, Nitro, get rid of the smell of alcohol on your body first, An attractive girl who stinks of alcohol is just an ordinary drunk."

What responded to him was the girl's merciless friendship-breaking fist, and Gojo Satoru, who had witnessed this scene and rolled around on the bed with his belly in his arms, laughing so hard.

Early the next morning, the three of them neatly packed up and set off to visit the home of the victim who had finally declared his disappearance. Whether it was Xiayou or Wutiao, they all had a neat posture. Looks a little bit hungover, but the assistant officer who set out with them had dark circles under their eyes, looking at them enviously with a listless face.

"It's nice to be young..." He muttered unwillingly.

"Don't compare your energy with these two fighters, Mr. Assistant Officer." The black-haired girl pressed her fingers around the middle-aged man's temple for a while, which somewhat cheered him up. It doesn't seem to be of any use, sorry."

"It's okay, it's work after all, so I'll leave the filthy investigation to you. If there is any progress on the police side, I will notify you as soon as possible."

The taxi driver was a talkative person, but the results of asking him about weird events nearby and local rumors were disappointing.

"It seems that there have been no similar disappearances in the past. Also, frequent disappearances with such a short interval will definitely attract the attention of the police. It is impossible not to leave a case."

"But didn't the people nearby notice that there was a disappearance case? There was no rumor at all, and it was unexpectedly slow." Nitzi was a little disappointed, "In the place where I stayed before, everyone would know immediately if there was any trouble, even I can hear it when I go out."

"Because the distances are far away." It's not surprising to be able to draw such a conclusion. What surprised Niatz was that Wutiao, who has always been indifferent to unfamiliar people, said this, "Even if you know people, or even get along with them every day. People, the degree of understanding between each other is surprisingly little? Let alone a case of disappearance that is separated by several streets."

"That's what happened." Xia Youjie nodded, "Ordinary people are different from...the people on the street. If they are not sensitive, they are easy to be affected, but things like disappearance are much more harmless than fugitive wanted criminals. Well, many people don’t even read the police wanted list, and of course they don’t care about the disappearance case, not to mention that Ashino is still a tourist attraction.”

"Although the adults are talking about the human society, in fact, many people can't even remember the names of their relatives' wives, so just listen to this kind of nonsense." Wutiao commented.

"Obviously everyone in the college gets along like a family."

"...Glass." Xia You sighed.

"Ok?"

"What's the name of Mr. Assistant Officer?"

"Ah..." she froze.

"That's the way it is." Wujo burst out laughing.

"It seems to be Masao Suzuki." The top student rubbed his chin, "I often couldn't remember the name of the assistant officer when I first started as an apprentice. A little conspicuous place."

"Ordinary men's names have no value in memory." A guy who can make people unforgettable just by his face said so, "It doesn't matter if you forget."

"Don't say such impolite words so naturally!" Niatzi, who still liked the assistant officer, suppressed Wutiao together with Xia Youjie.

"Obviously Nitro has forgotten his name, why is Lao Tzu the one who got beaten up!"

"Speak less as if you remember it." Xia Youjie mercilessly revealed the truth.

Amidst the quarrels of the young people, they arrived at the family named 'Tanaka', but the three of them immediately fell into the first problem, "Speaking of which, what name should we use to visit the house openly?"

This is really a good question, because no matter how they look at it, they are all just teenage high school students, while the missing victim is a working social person, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to have the conditions to know.

Both Nitiao and Wutiao looked at Xia Youjie expectantly.

"Do you think I'm Doraemon!"

That being said, in the end the top student successfully knocked on the door of this family. Although the reason was a little outrageous, he finally managed to get into the house by relying on Wutiao's facial recognition.

"It turned out to be a netizen of Tatsuya. That child really likes computers. He seldom went out to socialize before. Now when he comes home every day, he just plays games in the room and doesn't even watch TV." Probably a middle-aged woman from her mother He received them with a sad but strong smile, "It's hard for you to find out that he hasn't been online for a long time, and you even came to visit him... After the company received the news of his disappearance, they simply sent over the salary of the month... ...why do people nowadays become like this..."

The time of disappearance was determined to be on the way home after work, under the same conditions as most of the victims, at night, alone, without any witnesses, and then this person lost his whereabouts, and the last place where he was photographed was on the bus Camera.

"The distance of only a few hundred meters makes people disappear, so it must be a curse spirit." Wu Tiao looked at Nitzi who was comforting the woman, and whispered to Xia Youjie's ears.

"Go and have a look in his room." Although there is no doubt about encountering a curse spirit, the type of curse spirit is still very important. After all, even if some curse spirits are only one level different, their strength is doubled. of.

There is nothing special about the young man's house, an old computer, an old game console, and some posters on the wall, but there are not many other things, a very ordinary man It can be seen that the cleanliness of his bedroom is probably because his mother often cleans it for him. Anyway, judging from the random piles of debris on the computer desk, my hygiene habits should be similar to Gojo Satoru.

Xia Youjie even opened the closet and looked under the bed.

There are neatly stacked clothes in the cabinet, most of which can be bought in Uniqlo, and a few sets of suits, which are also very cheap brands. The suitcase under the bed is covered with dust, obviously it has not been used for a long time, The box was empty.

It doesn't look like a letter, and there are no strange souvenirs.

Finding nothing, the two had no choice but to go back downstairs, and then asked Mrs. Tanaka, who had calmed down, about her son's recent friendships. "Girlfriend..." The middle-aged woman's face became a little ugly, "He shouldn't have Let me tell you the truth, did you only talk about being dumped by a woman you know?" She smiled wryly, "If you have to say it, it is more appropriate to say that you were cheated by a woman."

Before Tatsuya Tanaka disappeared, he seemed to spend a lot of money for a while, even to the point where he was so nervous that he had to ask his family for money. As a member of society, it is a shame to ask his family for money. It was for a date with his girlfriend, so my mother gave it to him generously.

"It's fine once or twice, but it's getting more and more exaggerated. In the end, I asked him to take him home to see..." The mother who was worried about whether her son was cheated by a woman decided to meet the woman who always spent a lot of money girlfriend.

Then Da was dumped.

Undoubtedly, he was completely deceived by the woman, but at least he recognized her true colors. After crying for a while, the mother and son encouraged each other to cheer up, and Tatsuya went back to work.

"Of course it's impossible not to hate that woman, but as long as Tatsuya is fine, I don't have any dissatisfaction... Who knows, who knows that this kind of thing will happen again..." The woman covered her face again and cried bitterly Get up, "Why is my Tatsuya missing, not that woman!! She is the one who did the bad thing!"

After leaving Tanaka's house, the three of them determined the direction of the bus station and walked slowly there.

"There are still women, although not the kind we thought."

"It's impossible for the curse spirit to cheat money, it's not necessary at all."

"So I just happened to meet a bad woman, so I said why his house is so clean... It's full of old things, and there are no luxuries. It stands to reason that boys must have one or two hobbies to spend money on." Xia Youjie asked Looking at the phone while walking, it was a message from Assistant Officer Suzuki, "Hey, hey, I have to tell you..."

"Glass, cloth tent." Wearing sunglasses, Wujo quietly looked at the bus stop in front of him, "The filth is fluctuating, maybe it will come out again."

"Wait, isn't our job just to investigate?" The girl suddenly lost her strength, "Jie, tell me about him too?"

"Spiders usually crawl out of their nests to look for food. If you don't care about it, maybe another one will be missing today." Climb to his shoulders, "If the situation is not good later, Nitro, remember to run. Although we may not win, we will definitely not die, and the treatment will trouble you when the time comes."

"Oh, really, I won't save you if you are scolded by night moths after you go back." Nitzi let out a breath helplessly, and quietly threw an invisible shady curtain into the sky. The deserted street completely lost the breath of the last living, and turned into an empty and silent foreign land.

In the open space near the bus station, the filthy atmosphere condensed and rushed into a crack in the air that did not exist before.

It was a woman wearing an ancient jug dress, her black and beautiful straight hair was elegantly draped below her sleeves, the figure of the woman was quickly swallowed by the closed crack, and what they saw was only a back view .

"Wu, that thing..."

"The feet are indeed a bit strange, but they are not spiders." Wujo said firmly, "But the level is not easy to determine, it moves too fast, and it is just an afterimage formed by the filth."

"I can only say that it is definitely more than level two."
