Curse Returns, a gamble from the start, I awaken dual spells

A few seconds later, Rito managed to control his trembling body.

He loosened his clenched fist, leaving several pale finger marks on his palm, and then regained his composure.

"Rito-chan, that boy, you two seem to have a pretty good relationship." Makoto crossed his arms and looked at Rito with a puzzled expression.

"Just an insignificant person," Rito explained.

"Oh—" Masato exclaimed in realization, "Rito-chan, can I kill him then?"

Li Ren felt a chill run down his spine, but his expression remained indifferent.

He had no doubt that the real person would actually kill Shunping.

These cursed spirits, born from human resentment, love doing this kind of thing. If you show even the slightest concern, Shunping will definitely die today.

"Well, if Mr. Makoto wants to kill, then go ahead." After saying that, Rito walked away without looking back, as if he really didn't care about Junpei's life.

Watching Rito's retreating figure, Masato looked utterly frustrated.

"Damn it, I guessed wrong. It seems Rito didn't disappoint me."

The words of the wise man were heard, but his steps never ceased.

But the next thing the real person said made his heart sink instantly.

"Just now in the movie theater, Rito said 'Don't watch,' did I hear him correctly?"

The real person kept scratching his head, with an innocent expression.

But Rito knew that he had discovered her from the very beginning, he just hadn't said it out loud.

He was observing, observing what his toy would do.

Seemingly sensing something, Rito suddenly turned around the next second.

Where the person had just stood, only a dim yellow light from a street lamp remained; the place was deserted.

Seeing this, Rito's heart clenched involuntarily. She turned and ran desperately in the direction Shunpei had gone.

"Shunping, don't die!"

Meanwhile, on the deserted path, only the streetlights cast a dim yellow light.

A cold wind blew in his face, and Shunping unconsciously tightened his clothes, but his heart was warm.

"Shunping, Shunping, you've made friends now, that's great."

Thinking about how Rito scared away those people in the activity room during the day, and how he just told her to close her eyes and not look at that terrifying scene, Shunpei could clearly feel Rito's kindness towards him.

Although this kindness may have had some ulterior motive, it was enough for him.

Step, step, step.

Strange footsteps sounded from ahead. Shunping stopped and cautiously looked ahead.

"He really is a cute boy. No wonder Rito cares about him so much." As the words fell, Makoto's face, covered with stitches, emerged from the shadows in front of him.

"You..." Upon seeing this face, the images of the three dead men in the movie theater flashed before Shunping's eyes once again.

Boom!

Overwhelmed by fear, Shunping's legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

"Boring, he's nowhere near as good as Rito." Glancing at Junpei lying on the ground, Makoto instantly lost interest in him.

If it weren't for Rito, he wouldn't even have given this person a second glance.

"Stop!" Rito's shout came from the other end of the street. Azure magical power surged in his hands, and the spell Zero Coffin was poised to be unleashed in his palms.

As the figure drew closer, Makoto's face broke into a smile again. "Rito-chan, you've finally arrived."

He grabbed Shunping and lifted him off the ground.

Rin's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

"Rito-chan, can I kill him?" Looking at Rito's gloomy face, Makoto asked the same question again, but the situation was completely different now.

I just asked casually before, and no matter how Rito answered, it wouldn't have been a problem, but now it's different.

If Rito repeats his previous answer, Junpei's fate will be no different from the three people in the movie theater.

"Reason...reason..." Shunping was grabbed by the collar and lifted into the air by the real person. His face turned red and his lips trembled for a long time before he managed to squeeze out these few words.

"Master, let's make a deal." Without looking at Shunpei, Rito said to Master.

"A deal?" The real man tilted his head, seemingly showing some interest.

"Let him go, and I'll become your favorite toy." Rito's words were short and forceful, and the street fell silent for a moment.

Before the man could speak, Shunpei in his arms began to struggle violently, shouting, "Rito...go! Go now!"

To become the monster's favorite toy—judging from this statement alone, Rito's fate is not good.

For Shunping, it was absolutely unacceptable that his only friend would make such a sacrifice for him.

The expression on the real person's face did not change at all.

His face, covered in stitches, still held a smile, as if he were brewing something.

"Riri, you seem to have misunderstood something."

Upon understanding the hidden meaning in the Master's words, Li Ren's expression changed, and he suddenly rushed towards the Master.

"What I like most is watching you struggle in pain, your soul twisted!" As he said the last part, his voice unconsciously grew louder, and his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

He watched Rito approach, his expression almost manic.

"It's too late, Li Ren, it's all your fault, it's too late!! — Transformation through inaction!"

The power to twist the soul erupted from the real person's hand and penetrated into Shunping's body without any hindrance.

Under Rito's horrified and furious gaze, Shunpei's body began to swell continuously.

First, the fingers twisted and lengthened, then the spine emitted a dense, crackling sound like popping beans.

His mouth was wide open, as if he was about to scream, but the sound was blocked in his throat, turning into a wet, strange noise.

Seemingly to satisfy a perverse sense of humor, the real person significantly slowed down the process of Shunping's mutation.

As he wished, this scene was witnessed by Rito every second.

"Be angry, be crazy, Rito-chan, I like you the way you are now." Masato laughed loudly, and with a light wave of his right hand, the cyborg that Junpei had transformed into rushed towards Rito like a madman.

Click click click!

Rito's face was extremely cold, and his knuckles were clenched so tightly they cracked.

"Shunping, I'll help you get out of this predicament right now."

Without hesitation, Rito channeled his magical power into his fists and threw a punch at the charging cyborg.

Shunping is dead; what's in front of me is just a modified shell.

boom!

The fist struck the cyborg's chest without any resistance, but strangely, the originally aggressive cyborg did not cause any damage to Rito.

Rito looked into those eyes, those eyes that once belonged to Shunpei.

The next second, two lines of tears flowed from those eyes.

His large mouth was still opening and closing, as if he wanted to say something to Rito, but in the end, all Rito heard was a series of strange noises that had no meaning.

The frost continued to spread, and Shunping's body temperature rapidly decreased. He soon lost vital signs.

Rito silently supported his body and gently set him down. When he stood up again, the killing intent in his eyes was palpable, and he could no longer suppress it.
