Chapter 346 Preparation before the war
“Ah!”
Shichijo Masato was startled and screamed and opened his eyes. The environment of the room was still the same as before. He was still sitting there. She remained sitting cross-legged on the cloth, as if nothing had happened before.
"Are you awake?" Qian Xiaoyi was sweeping the ashes on the ground with a broom in front of him.
Shichijo Masato first touched his body to make sure that he was still alive and had not been swallowed by the curse. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling just now was so real that he thought he was really Swallowed by those things.
"What did you do just now?" Masato Shichijo looked at Qian Xiaoyi who was cleaning the house as if nothing happened, and asked quickly.
“Are you shocked?” Qian Xiaoyi swept the ashes into a dustpan and said with a smile: “It’s the so-called [substitution method]. Have you seen these ashes? These are the ones that were just put there Paper pricks people on the magic circle, Through some rituals, I copied your birth date and destiny onto this paper figure as a substitute, then transferred the curse to it, and finally destroyed it."
Shichijo Masaru is still frightened. Said: "It's like I was really killed by a curse... Can't you tell me in advance?"
Qian Xiaoyi curled his lips and said: "I can't even fool you, so why not?" How to cheat those curses? Anyway, now that the ceremony is completed, how do you feel?"
"How does it feel?" Masato Shichijo was stunned, he rubbed his numb legs and stood up. , closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and said in disbelief: "I don't know if it's an illusion...but why do I feel a little refreshed?"
Shichijo Masato felt that his thinking was obviously worse than before. It was much clearer before, and even the fatigue was gone. Could it be that this ritual also has the effect of massage?
Qian Xiaoyi explained: "Curse is like a constant burden on the target's mind. Once it exceeds a certain tolerance, it will crush the target's body and mind. Now the curse on you After being cleared, it's like a person who has been carrying a burden has let go of those burdens, so that's why I feel like this...a mental burden reduction?" Masato Shichijo nodded: "Thank you."
Qian Xiaoyi said: "It's nothing. Although the curse in your body is hidden very deep, it is not very difficult to remove it once it is found. The number is not large, and the root is not deep... But it should be noted that we still don’t know where those curses came from, nor the other party’s methods, so I can only give you some amulets for protection. You should still pay more attention to see if there are any around you. What strange items or phenomena?”
"I know." Masato Shichijo suddenly thought of something, became excited, and asked: "Since the curse on me can be removed, can the curse on my brother be also removed?"
Qian Xiao B looked at him, was quiet for a few seconds, and then said: "Although I really want to say yes, but...if he is really diagnosed with cancer as you said, even if the curse is removed, maybe There is no way to save him. In your brother's case, the curse can only be the cause, but the focus is still on the disease. It is impossible that his disease will be cured as soon as the curse is removed. I think I must make it clear to you. I'm sorry. "
Shichijo Masato's expression gradually changed from excitement to disappointment, and he sighed: "I think so."
" I'm sorry," Qian Xiaoyi said, "On the sofa. Sit down for a while while I clean up the place."
After Qian Xiaoyi cleaned up the scene and restored it to its original state, he asked: "Then, Mr. Shichijo, let's skip the pleasantries and talk directly. Let’s get down to business, have you decided now to entrust me with eradicating that ghost realm?”
Shichijo Masato said: "I have thought a lot these days. Although my heart tells me that I must do that, that is the right way, but I still feel the fear emanating from my heart, because it is with everyone. People are against each other...Thank you for the ceremony just now. I realized that if I did nothing and just chose to escape, then I might end up like that in the end, so..." "I choose to fight!" He said.
"So the deposit for this commission..." Qian Xiaoyi asked cautiously.
Shichijo Masato said: "I have made arrangements before coming here. Take a look at your bank account."
……
In a barbecue restaurant, the air is filled with a rich aroma, and the high-grade Wagyu beef with snowflake patterns is sizzling on the iron rack, with oil splatters coming out.
“Cheers!” Qian Xiaoyi and two other employees of the office touched their cups together to celebrate the arrival of this commission.
“It’s a deposit of ten million.” Heita Inuyama drank the juice and said with some emotion: “It was really unimaginable before. If it is completed, there will be more...”
Suzuki chopsticks kept picking up the grilled beef tongue, dipping it in the sauce, and bringing it to his mouth. Although he didn't speak, he was obviously very happy.
Qian Xiaoyi took a sip of beer and asked, "So, are you both sure you want to participate in this commission?"
"Yes." Inuyama Heita said: "Although I had already decided before, after two days of careful consideration, I want to participate even more."
Suzuki also put down his chopsticks and said: "Me too, Brother Yi, you are not a reckless person. If you decide to do something, you must have considered various problems, large and small, so we feel that although this commission is risky, we trust your judgment. "
"Oh? Do you believe me so much?" Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile: "It really makes me a little embarrassed, but seeing that you have made up your mind, I feel relieved. There will be no future commissions. Allow hesitation to exist."
Heita Inuyama asked: "By the way, Brother Oto, if we successfully destroy the ghost realm, will it have any impact on reality?"
Qian Xiaoyi said: "Of course, no matter what the purpose of the monsters or other things in the ghost realm is, they always want to gain benefits for themselves through this ghost realm. Maybe it is more convenient to control others. It may also be that you simply want to gain power, but this will always create a profound connection, so as long as the ghost realm is destroyed, something will definitely change, but..."
"But?" Suzuki asked cooperatively. Although she couldn't see these things with her own eyes, she was still curious.
“Reality is the source.” Qian Xiaoyi said: “No matter what it is like in the ghost realm, it is all a reflection of reality. If you only change the ghost realm, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If it changes, then that place will reappear sooner or later, or even get worse. So, if you want to really destroy that place, you still have to see whether the source can be destroyed in reality. This can only rely on Masato Shichijo... Ah, first Don’t talk anymore, the meat is burnt, let’s eat and eat.”
