Chapter 621 Eight Point Curse
Xiangyue Wang’s memoirs end here.
At the back of the notebook is his research on the curse ritual "worshiping when you are ugly" that he conducted in his old age.
He suspected that Mr. Qingliu prayed to the cursed god of Chou Shi and gained strange power to curse the entire Xiao Binze to death.
He suspected that as a native of Xiaobinze, he was also affected by the curse that contained strong resentment. Although he was still alive because he was far away from Xiao Binze, he always felt that something was following him.
Xiangyue Wang didn't know if Mr. Aoyagi, who was already crazy, had listed himself as the target of the curse, but he felt that Mr. Aoyagi probably couldn't control the power of the curse that was beyond ordinary people's understanding.
"No matter what, I was once a member of Xiao Binzeli who stayed out of the village."
"Am I an accomplice?"
Xiangyue Wang wrote this at the end of the note.
But no one could answer him.
…
rustle--
Kamiyakawa closed the notebook in silence.
Now he probably knows what happened in little Binzeli.
Village hachifen, a type of lynching in Japanese villages in the old days, is a common name in Japanese tradition for negative sanctions against those who break rules and order in the village, that is, joint isolation and exclusion.
In old Japanese villages, because they were relatively isolated, the villagers were usually relatively united.
According to the convention, villagers will help and take care of each other in the ten major events in the collective life of the village.
This is an unwritten rule.
These ten things are: adult ceremony, marriage, childbirth, caring for the sick, house renovation, care during floods, annual worship services, traveling, burying corpses and putting out fires.
When these things happen among the villagers, other people will help appropriately, either participating in it or helping them take care of their homes.
The so-called "eight points" means that except for the two things of burying corpses and putting out fires, the villagers did not help at all and ignored the other eight things.
And only providing help to the eighth percentile of the village is only out of consideration for the interests of the village.
After all, if the corpse is not buried, it will rot and stink, and even cause plague. If the fire is not rescued, other people's houses will be burned down.
Therefore, the "eight points of the village" is a complete isolation at the collective level of the village.
Once divided by the village, the person concerned is basically declared socially dead in the area.
Xiangyue Wang's notes have clearly recorded what the target of such a lynching will go through.
As for the subsequent research on "visiting shrines during ugly times", Kamiyagawa knew far more about this than Xiangyue Wang, and he also knew everything mentioned in the notebook.
"So, Qingliu, who was outnumbered by the village, relied on the power of the God of Ugly Time to make the set to take out the box, and cursed the entire Xiao Binze to death. Tsk, the God of Darkness and Beauty, why is it him again?"
Kamiya knew a lot about the God of Darkness and Beauty, the Pillar Dragon God, the God of Sea Routes and Ships, and the God of Ugly Time Curses. In the previous incident between Heishangmon and King Xingshi, he even had a direct confrontation with him in a sense.
"God Anyu Jiamei is originally a god from the underworld, and with the incident involving King Xingshi, he probably regards me as his mortal enemy, right? I feel like there will be a deadly battle with this god sooner or later."
The notebook found from Xiangyue's house was also read by Xiangyue Hayato.
He is now the actual owner of the Xiangyue family, and he naturally has the right to interfere with his own things.
And considering that Mr. Xiangyue is not a blood descendant of Xiao Binze, the curse there will not affect him, and he can still live a normal life in the future.
Finally, after obtaining the consent of Hayato Kozuki, Kamiya and others took away the notebook and some cursed books and materials found in Kozuki Wangshu's library, and returned to the countermeasures room.
…
Kamiyagawa's home.
Kamiya and Yanmo Xiangyue Kaoru were sitting across from each other in the living room, and the latter was flipping through a stack of copied data backups.
The things obtained from Xiangyue's family were later submitted to the countermeasures room by Kamiyagawa for storage, but he brought back a backup to show to Xiangyue Kaoru.
Kamiyagawa: "That's about it, about the source of the curse on you."
Xiang Yuexun gently put down the information in her hand and was silent for a long time. She frowned, as if staring at an unsolvable chess game, and spoke after a while: "Do you think Mr. Aoyagi is still alive?"
"I have no idea."
Kamiyakawa answered truthfully and shook his head.
He really couldn't say for sure on this point.
Since Mr. Aoyagi was able to produce a complete set of top-notch cursed object collection boxes, it means that his ugly visit to the shrine must have been successful.
It is possible that Mr. Aoyagi will die together due to the curse, or will still exist in the world in some form.
Anyway, when it comes to the God of Darkness and Beauty, things will definitely not be that simple.
"But one thing can be confirmed. The cursed god of Choushi, also known as the Anyujiamei God, has absolutely no good intentions when he releases the power of curses to the world through Choushi's worship. And he is currently being imprisoned by some kind of power. If you want to give this If the Pillar God takes revenge, I will help him." Kamiyakawa tapped the coffee table in front of him with his fingertips. "You can understand this as a kind of solicitation, but it happens that there is a grudge between me and this Pillar God. He should be eager to kill me."
"Then will you help me get revenge, or will I help you defend yourself against the enemy?"
"Both, it's a win-win situation, right?"
"Hmm...are all the young people of this era as fearless as you? You are clearly going to fight against the gods, but you can still speak as if it's natural." Kazuki Kaoru tapped her cheek with the top of the fan bone in her hand.
"No, it's just me." Kamiya shook his head, his tone and expression were still calm, he wanted to pretend to be big in front of the Styx JK, "It's not impossible to fight against the gods. Gods will bleed, and gods will die if they are killed. In fact, I have collected the remains of several gods."
Snap.
The folding fan in the hand of the Yama girl unfolded.
"You said that the god Anyu Kamei is the god of the Huangquan camp, right?"
"That's right."
"Then He is also my enemy."
Kazuki Kaoru is no longer just Kazuki Kaoru, she also has a certain consciousness of the first generation of Yama.
She is the new Lord Yama, the master of the Sanzu River, and fighting Huangquan is her responsibility after waking up.
In addition, she also needs to join hands with Kamiya Kawa to snatch back the skeleton of Yama from Huangquan.
Then it is obvious what to do.
"Very good!" Kamiya was very satisfied with the answer of the Yama girl.
That's right!
We have always been on the same side.
"Then when will we start against the god of Anyu Kamei?"
"Ahem."
Kamiya coughed twice.
You say I am fearless, but isn't Kaoru Kaoru more anxious than me?
"... This, let's take a long-term view."
It seems that we can only take a long-term view at present.
The incident of King Xingshi related to the god of Anyu Kamei has ended before.
In addition, the box related to the curse of Xiaobinze has also been made into a shrine of Prajna. After the previous inspection, there seems to be no information on the whole box that can be related to Anyu Kamei.
So if you want to fight against the god of curse and take the lead, you have to find other clues.
However, when it comes to the box, although the box that sealed the curse itself did not have the aura related to Anyu Jiamei, the whole set of boxes was indirectly from Anyu Jiamei's handicraft. It is hard to say whether there will be clues related to the cursed god on the body parts that once contained those cursed objects.
Unfortunately, Kamiya has not obtained those cursed objects yet.
It is not even certain whether those things still exist now.
But the acquisition of other clues related to Anyu Jiamei God was much faster than Kamiya Chuan imagined.
That is, not long after he finished talking with Kazuki Fumio and sent her back to Sanzu River, he received a call from Yusuke Makenyu——
"Boy, you have to come over."
Uncle Yusuke on the other end of the phone said seriously.
Obviously, something big happened.
...
After receiving the notice, Kamiya took the ghost car to the countermeasures office building in Tokyo as soon as possible.
And soon saw Yusuke Makenyu in his office.
There were a lot of files piled up on Uncle Jiecheng's desk, and a thick pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray next to him.
"Uncle, you look very tired."
Seeing Kamiya come in, Jiecheng put out the cigarette in his hand: "Because there are too many things to deal with recently."
His dark circles were a bit heavy, and it was obvious that he had not had a good rest for a while.
"Why did you call me here?"
"You were investigating Xiao Binze's matter before, right?"
"Well, I reported the results of the investigation back to the countermeasures room."
"That's it. Nagatomo compared the information you submitted back, the curse of the dark silt and the beauty god, the village eight points, the son took the box..."
"Any questions?"
"Yes, although I don't know why you suddenly became interested in investigating Xiao Binze, but you have to take a look at this." Jiecheng Zhenjianyou took out two stacks of files from the case files on the table. The traces on these two files were still very new, and they should have been delivered not long ago.
Kamiya opened the file.
The first thing that caught my eye was a report recording an "unknown strange curse."
The report was made three days ago.
This "strange curse" was accidentally noticed by a highly perceptive exorcist during off-duty hours.
While shopping in Shibuya, the exorcist saw a soulless office worker wandering around like a zombie, and keenly sensed an ominous supernatural power from him.
This power was initially defined as a curse.
"The cursed are being deliberately and maliciously isolated by the outside world. After observation, both ordinary people and exorcists can clearly feel the existence of the cursed, but they will subconsciously ignore their words and deeds and stay away from them."
"Ordinary people will have a strong sense of panic and disgust towards the cursed, and the more people around the cursed, the more obvious this emotion will become. Exorcists are also affected by this emotion, and because exorcists have relatively strong perception, this emotion will be stronger than ordinary people, and they can only restore normal judgment consciousness after being far enough away from the target."
"It is currently suspected that if you violate your own subconsciousness and the group's consistent isolation default behavior, and release goodwill to the cursed, the curse will then spread to goodwill people."
The report roughly records the exorcist's investigation of the "strange curse".
The situation recorded in another file is similar to the previous one, but the time is one day ago.
After the discovery of the "cursed office worker" in Shibuya Ward, a housewife in Kanagawa Prefecture who was affected by the same curse has been discovered.
"this……"
After Kamiyagawa roughly read through the two files, a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"It's very similar to that, right? Cun Bafen. According to the investigation results of Xiao Binze you submitted, Changyou contacted and thought of these two recent incidents." Uncle Jiecheng pressed his temple, "Those who are subject to this curse Only two have been discovered so far, but there may be more.”
"Uncle, do you suspect that this curse is related to little Binze?"
"I don't know, but since you are investigating Xiao Binze, I think you should also know about this matter. At present, the source and solution of this sudden curse are still unclear."
"Generally speaking, you should find the caster first, right?"
"Yes, but it can't be found. This curse does no direct harm to the body of the cursed person, but it can greatly distort the consciousness and behavior of the cursed person. Unlike ordinary curses, the countermeasures room is currently The matter has become more serious. We suspect that the caster has some very special curse material."
"Special curse material..."
The strange curse that suddenly appeared is similar to the nature of the isolation and bullying of the village's eight points, so let's call it the "eight points curse" for the time being.
This eight-point curse is completely different from the curse in the box-taking area of Xiao Bin Zezi.
However, under the influence of Xiao Binze's curse, Xiang Yuexun, who was probably the last bloodline of Xiao Binze, had just passed away, and this eight-point curse appeared. Moreover, Qingliu, the caster of Xiao Binze's curse, also had the experience of being criticized by the village.
Thinking about it this way, it is a bit too coincidental that the eight-point curse appears at this time.
It's hard not to associate it with Xiao Binze.
And speaking of special cursed materials, those in the top-level cursed item pickup boxes obviously count, right?
"Could the eight-point curse be cast by Qingliu? In order to let others feel the pain of being maliciously isolated?" Kamiyagawa guessed.
But in order to verify this, there is no other way except to track down the eight-point curse personally.
Moreover, if the person behind the eight-point curse is really Aoliu, or the God of Darkness, Kamiyagawa, who has been involved in the situation for a long time, there is no way he can stay out of it.
Might as well take the initiative early.
Considering that Chang Shi had no important matters to deal with recently, he took the initiative to ask for help and asked to immediately join the investigation of the eight-point curse.
This was the original plan of Jiecheng Zhenjianyou, and of course he would not refuse. He quickly gave Kamiyakawa the contact information of the spirit exterminator who was tracking and observing the two cursed people.
"Qingliu...the God of Darkness and Beauty...is in constant trouble."
Considering that the Curse God may be involved behind the eight-point curse incident, Kamiyagawa, who has been in excellent condition recently, has a mentality of facing a strong enemy and will go all out.
