Chapter 05: What is the fifth-day curse that the system won ?

If it were a few days ago, Yoshino Junpei could have thought with great interest which novel or movie monster this was, and then based on its literal meaning, combined with some of his own 'experience', he would have given several words that may or may not be consistent. guess.

But now, he only knows that this is a monster that can kill people.

Untouchable, unlookable, the only thing a weak human being can do is to run away.

Junpei Yoshino held Yukizawa Hanyu's hand tightly and ran desperately on the street. His long bangs were randomly slapped on his face by the strong wind, and some of them even hit his eyes, causing him to uncontrollably bulge. Tears.

Passers-by who were occasionally hit quickly moved away, stamping their feet and cursing in anger.

The curly-haired police officer who came out of the convenience store shrank back as soon as he stepped out of the convenience store door. He looked at the two running people who almost bumped into him. He took off the sunglasses on his face and shouted: "What are you two kids doing?" It's dangerous to run like this on the road!"

Junpei Yoshino heard it, but he couldn't care less. He gritted his teeth, and his heartbeat was as noisy as a thunder drum in his ears. It beat so fast that he even felt it. There was a hint of pain.

Where should he run?

The person being pulled behind him remained silent and just followed quietly.

Yukizawa Hanyu gasped and looked back. There was nothing else but the passers-by looking at them with weird faces.

'0018? '

0018: "Yes, little master, an unknown energy body has been detected. Do you need to solve it?"

Hanyu Xuezawa squinted his eyes, a trace of red appeared in the corners of his eyes due to the violent running, and there was no trace of blood in his eyes as clear as obsidian soaked in the stream. There is no fear or doubt.

He gave the order calmly and seemed to adapt well to this unexpected situation.

'Look for an open space nearby. '

'Also, add a protective cover to Junpei. '

Yes, what about you?'

'Not needed at the moment. '

Red arrows appear on the gray and black floor tiles.

0018: "There is an abandoned botanical park ahead, with few people and empty space."

Yukizawa Hanyu accelerated and directly passed Yoshino Junpei. Their positions were reversed. He took Yoshino Junpei's hand and ran away in the direction indicated by the red arrow. "There is an abandoned botanical park ahead, follow me."

A confused Yoshino Junpei followed the force and changed direction, "Senior?"

He is obviously the one who knows more and is the one who should act as a protector. , but the hand he was clenching now made his boiling fear slowly cool down.

His mind that had just gone blank finally made room for thinking. Yoshino Junpei quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket. It was very inconvenient to operate with one hand. Coupled with the rapid running, he was in a hurry for a long time before he made the call.

As the beeping sound sounded, Yoshino Junpei did not relax at all. No one knew how long it would take for the white-haired man to arrive. Before that, they could only rely on themselves.

They bypassed the crowds and searched for remote alleys, twisting and turning, and soon arrived at the deserted botanical park.

The curse spirit behind him followed him not far away, but seemed to have no intention of killing him yet, and seemed to be just teasing the prey in his mouth.

A frivolous male voice quickly sounded on the other end of the phone, "Hey, Junpei! What do you want from the teacher?"

Yoshino Junpei had no intention of correcting his mistake now. He was breathing rapidly, like a stranded boat. Fish, the thin air entered the throbbing chest stingily, "Hoo, hoo, Mr. Gojo! Help!"

He had no time to say more information, the monster behind him seemed to be angered, and the black mist condensed into tentacles with a bang. The cell phone was pierced, and Yoshino Junpei felt as if a biting wind had passed through the bones of his hand, causing pain as if the skin and flesh were being crushed.

Subconsciously, he quickly retracted his hand, and his finger bones were involved in the abnormal spasm of the flesh. There was no blood and flesh, not even a trace of broken skin, but the pain was transmitted along the fingertips to the cerebral cortex, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on the forehead.

Yoshino Junpei ignored the broken mobile phone fragments that fell on the grass. He took Hanyu Yuksawa's hand and pulled him behind him with slight force. His thin body blocked Hanyu Yuksawa, and his thoughts were running rapidly in his mind.

'What should I do...'

Yoshino Junpei faced the cursed spirit with a pale face, trying his best to calm his rapid breathing.

He had not looked directly at, or specifically looked at, the cursed spirit that suddenly appeared. It was the cursed spirit that exuded malice first that made him notice it.

According to common sense, this shouldn't be the case.

Did he do something to anger it, or was there something on him that attracted it.

Yoshino Junpei wanted to squeeze out every drop of his brain, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand why this situation happened, and he couldn't think of any good solution.

Spell?

This kind of coercion may be the first-level curse spirit mentioned by Mr. Gojo. Whatever he uses to fight, maybe his head will fall to the ground as soon as he rushes up. No, no, no, this is still a good result. The most likely thing is that no bones are left. of.

If he was alone, he might really be able to give it a try.

But...

Yoshino Junpei felt the cold touch of the hand he held in his right hand and bit his trembling teeth hard.

'Absolutely, absolutely nothing can happen to Hanyu-senpai! '

'What to do, what to do, Yoshino Junpei, imagine what to do! Yoshino

Junpei didn't even dare to blink, staring at the monster more than ten meters away, a trace of doubt rising in his heart.

'Why haven't you moved? '

From that moment after knocking down the mobile phone, the curse spirit has not made any other attacks. It stands strangely and calmly under a tree. The huge crown of the tree stretches out like a giant umbrella covering the sky, and the black monster is hidden in the shadows. below, like an evil spirit crawling out of the shadows.

The black mist is shaped into a twisted human shape, and you can vaguely see the "long hair" trailing behind you, as well as the thick "twelve singles", which seem to be similar to a female curse spirit.

The fog seemed to be extremely unstable, and the way it surged and rolled reminded Yoshino Junpei of burning black flames, but the cold aura around the cursed spirit was like the ice of the deep winter.

The black mist spread forward silently. Yoshino Junpei's heart suddenly rose when he discovered this, but before he could react, the black mist slowly shrank back.

This strange behavior made Yoshino Junpei frown.

Is it an illusion?

He always felt that this monster seemed to be hesitant, even a little cautious.

It was so funny that he twitched his lips. Junpei Yoshino dismissed this absurd idea the moment it came up. Compared with this statement, it is better to say that it is enjoying the fear of its prey, waiting for a single blow to kill or torture. Only to death.

Yoshino Junpei really didn't want to put his hope of survival on others, but at this moment he couldn't help but pray in his heart that the man named Gojo Satoru could find them quickly after receiving his call.

.........

After Gojo Satoru received the call, he immediately began to check the location of the phone. Judging from the voice just now, the situation was probably not good.

The tall white-haired young man stood on the edge of the high-rise building, holding a black mobile phone in his sharp-jointed hands. He clicked on the message and searched for the target. The strong wind on the top of the building blew, and his ice-blue eyes were like those on the top of the snow. Sky.

His eyes moved to the urgent message on his phone.

[Curse spirit... appears on the street... seal... extremely dangerous... find Jiju quickly]

Two things collided, and an incredible idea came out of his mind. Gojo Satoru smacked his lips, his new student's His luck is really not that good. I hope he can hold on for a little longer.

Pulling off the black blindfold on his forehead, he leaned forward slightly. In an instant, there was no tall figure on the tall building.

Yoshino Junpei was in a stalemate with the cursed spirit. No one on either side moved, as if they were playing with a wooden man.

Being able to persist in front of such a powerful monster for so long is definitely something worth bragging about in the world of magic. But Yoshino Junpei is not in such a relaxed mood now.

The hand he was holding suddenly moved. Yoshino Junpei was startled, and cold sweat instantly dripped down his face. He pointed in the direction of Yukizawa Hanyu with his peripheral vision.

'Don't move, senior. '

At this time, Yoshino Junpei remembered that in the eyes of his senior, it might have been as if he suddenly pulled him and started running together, and then suddenly something unknown started to attack. Now he must be standing here in a stalemate. Confused and hesitant.

Thinking of this, Yoshino Junpei felt filled with guilt.

Yukizawa Hanyu cast his gaze under the tall trees. There was nothing there. He could not see anything and could only vaguely hear some sounds.

If he hadn't asked 0018 to put a protective cover on Junpei just now, Junpei's hand would have been useless.

Yukizawa Hanyu couldn't help but frown.

Then he found another rustling sound coming from the shadows. Yoshino Junpei, who could see the curse spirit, found that the black mist-like curse spirit shrank as if it had seen something frightening.

【————■——■■】

'What is it saying? Yoshino

Junpei tried hard to distinguish the syllables, but the chaotic sound was like a broken old TV.

【——■■】

I don’t understand.

do not understand at all.

The curse spirit looked at the blank expression on Yoshino Junpei's face and stopped talking unintelligibly.

Deathly silence.

What followed was a boiling murderous aura that continued to deepen.

Junpei Yoshino realized belatedly that he seemed to have angered it because of his blank expression.

A sudden attack burst out from the ground. Yoshino Junpei didn't even have time to react before he was pulled aside by Hanyu Yukizawa. Tentacles came from all directions. He was so cunning that he bypassed Hanyu Yukizawa and pursued Yoshino Junpei relentlessly.

Noticing this, Yoshino Junpei wanted to break free from Hanyu Yukizawa's hand, "Senior, quickly, let me go!"

Hanyu Yukizawa's appearance has always given Yoshino Junpei the impression of being slender and weak. Yoshino Junpei I know that Yukizawa Hanyu even stayed in the hospital for a few years because of his poor health. So Yoshino Junpei never expected that he would be unable to break free from Yukizawa Hanyu's hand. His white palm tightly held Yoshino Junpei's wrist. Although he was still invisible, he relied on the sound to help Yoshino Junpei escape again and again. One attack.

This is really...

"That's awesome!"

The embarrassed Yoshino Junpei looked up, and a tall white-haired man came from a distance with his pockets in his pockets. After noticing his gaze, he took out his hand and gave him a thumbs up. .

Before Yoshino Junpei could respond, Gojo Satoru snapped his fingers casually.

"Xu Shi - 茈."
