Chapter 196 The 195th Final Battle (18)
Although Ashiya Jisuke did not answer this question raised by Yanji in the mourning hall, there is no doubt that he knows the answer.
Ashiya Kisuke recalled the woman known as the "witch who carried the curse" and murmured: "Yes, what a good person..."
In Ashiya Kisuke In my memory, Hiruda's mother Terao Keiko was a gentle and beautiful person. She had a mole between her eyebrows just like Hiruda, but she looked much more pleasing to the eye than Hiruda. As for why she was called "the cursed witch" ”, let’s start with her family.
The Terao family is a cursed family. According to legend, during the ancient war period, their ancestor was a thief. When he entered a temple to steal, he was discovered by the monks in the temple, so he became a thief. Without stopping, he actually killed the monk in front of the Buddha and then ran away. Since then, the Terao family has been cursed by the gods.
In the long years, due to the curse, almost none of the children of the Terao family could live beyond the age of 50, and many would die in their thirties or forties. If you look at it from a modern perspective, there is probably someone in their family. This is a hereditary disease caused by a genetic defect, but people in ancient times did not know this kind of thing. Gradually, the reputation of the Terao family as being cursed spread in the local area.
A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Perhaps because they carried the power of this curse, when looking for a way to undo the curse, the Terao family gradually discovered that they had outstanding talents in curses. So, with the efforts of generations of ancestors, a man who was good at curses This is how the ancient family was born.
Due to the influence of the curse, the Terao family has always been sparsely populated. When it came to Terao Keiko's generation, she was the only one left.
In order to find a way out, Terao Keiko came to Tokyo. Under the bright and bright skyscrapers, she felt the darkness lurking in the shadows. The darkness was extremely huge. She had a premonition that she would make a difference in this city. .
But among the conjurers, Terao Keiko is an anomaly. Her heart is extremely sensitive and she can clearly feel the pain in other people's hearts. Perhaps because of her childhood experience of being ostracized, Terao Keiko is very empathetic, to the point of being pathological, and she simply cannot ignore those in need of help.
Therefore, as a magician, Keiko Terao has never cursed anyone with spells. In addition to giving them a short lifespan, the curse of the Terao family also gave them an extremely powerful ability to withstand curses, so Keiko Terao found another way. , and became a magician who specializes in helping people lift curses.
She will transfer those curses that are difficult to remove to herself and let herself bear the curse. Because of this unique way of resolving curses, Terao Keiko can basically resolve any curse. During her career, she gradually accumulated powerful spells in her body, and gradually she became the most powerful spellcaster and despeller in Japan.
Countless people have accepted her kindness and regard her as a savior. Coupled with her identity as a spellcaster, Terao Keiko has the title of "the cursed witch", and even in the circle of spiritualists The entire upper class in Tokyo is highly respected. After all, no one knows whether they or their family will encounter a troublesome curse.
During a commission, she met Hiruda's father. He was also troubled by a curse at the time. Because he witnessed the tenderness of Terao Keiko, he fell in love with Terao Keiko and began to pursue her.
The pursuit process was not smooth, and only the two of them knew the twists and turns, but in the end, the two got married and gave birth to Hiruda Makoto.
The story seems to be complete here, but God seems to have played a little joke on them.
Haleta Keiko, who had originally changed her name, suddenly discovered that because she had absorbed too much curses in her body, the curses were so powerful that they overflowed and even affected those close to her, like a source of infection. And the closer the person is, the more the curse in his body is ready to move. After discovering this, Hiruda Keiko divorced her husband forcefully, changed her name back, and left them. Terao Keiko knew that the worse her relationship with them was, the less likely it would be for her own curse to be transferred to them, so she did not explain too much, but just suffered everything silently.
But Zitian’s father could not accept this, so his temperament changed drastically and he became a decadent drunkard. Smoking, alcoholism, and domestic violence were commonplace. Zitian was in such a single-parent family. grew up in it.
If things had ended here, Zitian would not have become what it is today, but something else happened later that made Zitian what it is today, and that was the incident of encircling and suppressing the Rift Girl.
Terao Keiko was also one of the exorcists who participated in the commission at that time. She was a comrade-in-arms of Ashiya Jisuke, and she also died during that commission. Before her death, Terao Keiko asked him to help her take care of Hiruda, and Ashiya Kisuke naturally agreed.
Terao Keiko’s wish is that Hiruda will never be exposed to the world of curses and incantations throughout his life, and just grow up, get married, and have children in an ordinary way. Maybe with the development of medicine, their family will The lifespan problem can also be solved, so Ashiya Jisuke has no intention of letting Hiruda enter their circle.
But unexpectedly, after Keiko Terao's death, the power of the curse in her body did not dissipate. Instead, it appeared on Hiruda because of her blood relationship.
That day, Zhidian’s father was drunk and was domestically abusing him with a belt in his hand. Under extreme resentment, the power of the curse on Zhidian broke out and killed his father. He almost died. Ashiya Jisuke arrived in time and rescued him.
Now that the power of the curse has reappeared, it is impossible not to come into contact with this circle, so Ashiya Jisuke feels that it is better to let Hiruda learn the curse, so that he can stabilize his own curse, so He then transferred the Terao family's inheritance to Hiruda, which should have been the inheritance he deserved.
Let me ask you, when a person who is full of resentment, has been humiliated and wronged, and has an extremely dark heart suddenly gains powerful power, what will he do?
Thus, today’s Zhidian was born.
At first, Hiruda did not dare to make too many mistakes, but he gradually discovered that because of the influence of the reputation of his mother and Ashiya Kisuke, many people would turn a blind eye to his actions. Eyes, so gradually, he began to act recklessly.
He has the power of spells, but he will not use himself to help others carry curses like that stupid woman. That is not how spells are used!
Only by hurting others is the correct way to use the spell!
His ambition gradually began to expand, and he began to accept commissions for various cursed targets. Only more benefits could satisfy his twisted heart.
Hiruta has become a famous figure in the "inner circle" of Tokyo's spiritual master circle, and has many followers, but he is not satisfied with this, because his behavior is still shameful, and he is criticized by other people. Being despised by others made him very dissatisfied. He wanted a higher social status, which required the support of some big people, or in other words, he wanted to use this power to control some big people.
Just when he spent a long time recruiting troops, trying to gain profits through spells and expand his sphere of influence, Qian Xiaoyi appeared in front of him.
