Chapter 1214 Setsubun

The next day, February 3rd, Monday.

Temporarily putting aside things about the world and the future, Qin and Qing picked up their schoolbags and left the apartment again, moving towards Toyosaki High School.

After all, he had to tell Megumi Kato that he was going to suspend school again, otherwise he would let go of the pigeons in such an inexplicable way. Although Megumi Kato might not be doing well, sulking and feeling unhappy would definitely be unavoidable. Instead of that, it's better to report to her before officially suspending school.

Not bad for another day.

So not long after, Qin Heqing came to the class smoothly and sat down at his desk.

Self-study, class, get out of class, class, get out of class, lunch break...

Qin Heqing finally had the opportunity to sit with Kato Megumi again.

"Hui, there is something I want to tell you. I may have to drop out of school again." Qin Heqing looked at Kato Hui who was sitting opposite him and said softly.

"Suspended from school, did something happen?" Megumi Kato was not surprised at all, looking at him in a normal way and asked back.

"The world may be destroyed. I need to make some preparations for possible disasters and our future." Qin Heqing nodded, and replied with a serious face, looking back at Kato Megumi.

"The world is going to be destroyed?" Kato Megumi was startled, opened his mouth slightly and was speechless.

She thought it was just some powerful monsters and ghosts that Qin Heqing had to deal with. How could she have imagined that the cause of the matter would be so big that it would directly exaggerate to the entry of the world, which usually only appears in animations and novels...

"As far as the current situation is concerned, there is more than 50% chance of destruction." Qin Heqing nodded affirmatively, "I don't want your daily life to be destroyed, and I don't want your current life to change too much, so in order to delay the time of world destruction, I need to do some prep work."

"Is it because of that evil god?" Megumi Kato adjusted his mood and guessed thoughtfully.

This was also the only possibility she could think of based on the information she knew.

"It's related to it, but not all of it. It also depends on the conditions of the gods who disappeared before." Qin Heqing explained.

"...Then what will our world be like then?" Kei Kato was silent for a while, then looked up at Qin Heqing again and asked.

"It's hard to say. The key depends on the specific situation. But as far as the current situation is concerned, the civilization system of modern society will collapse completely if nothing happens, and the human order will completely collapse. Human beings will become like erect apes in the age of dinosaurs." , from the top of the food chain to the mid-level existence."

"..." Kato Megumi was silent, frowning slightly, he inserted the spoon in his hand into the rice in the lunch box in front of him, and couldn't say any more words.

"Is there anything I can do?" Kato Megumi asked again after a while.

"As long as you can maintain your current mentality and live your life happily, that will be the greatest help to me." Qin Heqing stretched out his hand to touch Kato Megumi's cheek and said with a smile.

"Okay." Kato Megumi looked at him, did not say much, and nodded in agreement very seriously.

Then the two continued to eat, spent lunch break, and started the afternoon course study...

until after school.

...

"Today is Setsubun, don't you need to go to the shrine to hold the Setsubun ceremony?" On the way back to the apartment, Kato Megumi said to Qin Heqing beside him as if he suddenly remembered something.

The so-called setsubun is the division of spring and winter, indicating the official start of spring. It is generally set on the first day of the vernal equinox in the lunar calendar every year. On the evening of this day, beans are sprinkled in every corner of the house as a way to ward off evil spirits.

It is a very simple and traditional island folk festival. It is not grand, but every family will hold it.

Therefore, shrines and temples will also hold corresponding ceremonies on this day-scattering beans to drive away evil spirits and bring good luck, as a means for shrines and temples to attract believers and collect incense money.

"No. It's enough to leave this kind of matter to Qin Zhizi and the others. I have only one task today, and that is to accompany you well." Qin Heqing said with a smile.

"Don't say that you will never see me again after today. It's too unlucky. Write in the palm of your hand and swallow the words." Kato Megumi's expression moved slightly when he heard the words, and he stopped and urged Qin Heqing.

"Okay, I'll write it right away." Qin Heqing had no choice but to open his palm and write a few words on it with his fingers, swallowing the words into his mouth like swallowing a ball.

This is also an island-style custom, mainly used to break spells, suppress villains, or a way for some people to relieve tension and their own pressure. Qin Heqing didn't expect that, as a priest himself, he would use this method one day, but it is not difficult to see how confused Kato Megumi, who seemed to be unaffected on the surface, was confused at this moment.

"Is it all right now?" Qin Heqing took Kato Megumi's hand and asked.

"Yeah." Kato nodded, and the two moved on the street again.

Shopping, shopping, followed home (apartment), and prepared today's dinner like a young couple.

"Let's spread the beans." Kato Kei said.

"good."

Then the two worked together, one placed a small box in the corner - a tool used to hold beans, and the other grabbed soybeans with his hands and threw them into the small box...

Otherwise, you can't really literally throw things around the house like throwing things?

It's not a big problem, but it's troublesome enough to make many housewives complain.

So gradually, this bean-spreading custom evolved into this, and even prepared a box containing beans and put it in the corner, and then waited for a day before putting away the bean box, so that the beans would not be wasted. It is not troublesome to clean up, which is the reason why this custom has really survived.

It's just a pity that this custom is destined to be impacted today——

I saw that along with the release of the bean box, a strange aura suddenly emerged from the surroundings of the bean box, like some kind of strong pollution, which only polluted the beans in the box into black in an instant, and then It shattered, exuding a rotten smell like rotten food.

However, this is still relatively good. In other places—other places in the apartment building, amazing screams sounded suddenly, which shocked Qin Heqing and Kato Megumi. After picking up the box, he rushed out of the apartment and ran towards the place where the sound came from.

Then, his body was covered with bean dregs, and a distorted black figure, like a visitor from the abyss, appeared in Qin Heqing's eyes. The pitch-black mist spread its tentacles, and rushed towards the screaming resident.

So Qin Heqing didn't hesitate, raised his arm, pointed his finger, and a spiritual light blasted on the fog monster, like an exploding balloon, blowing the dark fog monster to pieces in an instant, in the breeze that Qin Heqing released afterwards Blown away...
