You say this is a love game?

"This isn't right."

"These diaries, logically speaking, should all be the product of their owners' obsessions... The diaries I've found before are basically all frozen in time during the last period of a person's life. It's in that final moment of life that a person's obsession is infinitely magnified and becomes exceptionally clear."

"But why is Soichiro Hiiragihara's diary about him being 25 years old?"

Damn it, you have nothing to do with the main plot!

Mizutani Makoto read it over and over again, but all he saw was the mumbling of an honest man.

There are even some instructions similar to a suicide note, which talk about some charitable donations he founded and how to deal with them after his death. He wanted to teach his son Takashi Hiiragihara in advance and let him do more good deeds.

Makoto Mizutani knew that Soichiro Hiiragihara was a famous philanthropist, but he always thought that Soichiro Hiiragihara was pretending, or was just trying to avoid taxes or something. He didn't know that he was really benefiting society.

"Something's wrong."

This situation is very wrong now.

Mizutani Makoto put the diary into Touko's backpack, and then solemnly took out the [Ashes: Nue (?)]

Soichiro Hiiragihara's diary is placed on the desk in his office.

But the ashes were buried deep in a hidden area of ​​the office, and he only found them after kicking open the bookshelf.

As expected, the inside story should be buried in these ashes.

Compared to the ashes of Gu Chun, the ashes of Nue were more similar. Mizutani Makoto rummaged through the ashes and touched small fragments that looked slightly like bone fragments.

Mizutani Makoto clicked "Read".

The familiar darkness came like a tide, swallowing up the vision inch by inch.

In the darkness, brilliant colors filled in again, but were quickly burned into bloody and gray colors. As the whole world went from blurry to clear, what was reflected in the depths of Mizutani Makoto's pupils was a ghostly scene.

There is a monster.

There are birds singing.

It seems to be the vision of Nue.

The cries of the forty-two children resounded throughout the universe, and their resentment formed a vague mind, so the behemoth wreaked havoc between heaven and earth, violently destroying everything it saw. It was not until the wandering monks and Yin-Yang masters killed it that the disaster finally subsided.

Next, it is the story of the Hiiragihara family from the perspective of "Nue".

But he is not a real Nue either.

To be precise, Nue is already dead. His head was chopped off by monks and Yin-Yang masters, and his body was buried in a deep pit. It was suppressed under the earth with Buddhism and Yin-Yang magic, and its resentment was constantly washed away with the power of spiritual veins, waiting for the day when all its resentment can be completely eliminated.

And he, the person called "Nue" by Soichiro Hiiragihara, is actually one of the forty-two souls that make up the Nue.

This is the unknown contract that cannot be seen from Gu Chun's perspective.

The Onmyoji made a contract with a group of dead souls, and the curse was buried deep in the blood of the Hiiragihara family. The dead souls that formed the Nue also hid in the blood of the Hiiragihara family along with the curse. According to the Onmyoji's most simple "life for life" contract, each generation of dead souls has the power to take the life of the head of the Hiiragihara family... This contract will continue for forty-two generations.

Thus, the souls of those young children will continue to exist with the Hiiragihara family.

Every dead soul is looking at the head of the family.

And the same is true for A Nue.

That soul was at the end of the forty-two dead souls. Over eight hundred years had passed, and the forty-first generation of dead souls before him had all dissipated their resentment, wondering countless times, "Should this guy die?", "He seems like a good person," and "Should he live a little longer?"

I haven't heard such discussions for a long time.

Now the curse of the entire bloodline is gone, and only his soul remains.

The rest of the deceased souls had already attained Buddhahood and passed away when their generation's mission came to an end.

In his spare time, he would also wonder, that old white-haired Yin-Yang master, while letting them take revenge, was also thinking about helping them to be liberated and become Buddhas?

But if that white-haired old man thought so, he was totally wrong.

He would never forgive the Hiiragihara family.

He was completely baffled. Had the forty-first generation of deceased souls been kicked in the head by a donkey? How could they let go of their grudge so easily?

He even launched a referendum in the 21st generation, hoping to end this tangled fate and restore freedom to the Hiiragihara family... What's even more terrifying is that after the referendum of the dead souls, 19 of the remaining 21 dead souls agreed. They had seen enough of the blood curse and now wanted to restore freedom to the Hiiragihara family.

If that trend continues, he might not even have to wait until the 42nd generation, but could appear as early as the 23rd generation.

But the most dramatic thing is that when the contemporary dead souls tried to communicate with the head of the Hiiragihara family, they were rejected by the head of the family.

The reason is that their sins have not yet been expressed, and their sins should naturally be redeemed by them, which is also worthy of the will of the previous twenty generations of ancestors.

"The people in this family are definitely mentally ill."

What exactly is the so-called atonement?

Eight hundred years ago, the wandering monk threw his paperweight into the spiritual vein and abandoned his arm here. The arm eventually turned into a deep Buddha nature and lurked in the white jade paperweight.

Thus, every generation of the head of the Hiiragihara family was able to listen to the teachings of the monk.

In their childhood, in their youth, in their adulthood... the family responsible for guarding the spiritual vein watched the paperweight floating in the spiritual vein, talked with the Buddha nature in it, talked with the monks from eight hundred years ago, and let the remaining Buddha nature teach them - what is good, what is evil, what is life, what is death, and what is emptiness.

The successive heads of the Hiiragihara family can also be understood as disciples of the monks of that time.

They do not master any Yin-Yang magic, nor do they involve any supernatural powers. They simply rely on the guidance of monks to practice and atone their sins in this world. As a result, generations of family heads have come one after another, and generations of Hiiragihara family have prospered and been glorious. Countless people with lofty ideals have come from all directions and followed them.

This is the guardian of the spiritual vein, a curse that has lasted for more than 800 years, and an atonement that has lasted for more than 800 years.

And that soul is here to end everything.

"I don't care."

"I will severely humiliate the current head of the family."

"When he's six years old, I'm going to take his life!"

He smiled sinisterly, and even though he looked like a child, his smile was particularly vicious.

The time point when he was six years old was chosen with great care.

The purpose is to ruthlessly snatch the life of the current head of the family when he is just starting out in life, when he seems to be ignorant but full of enthusiasm and curiosity about the world... This is a more vicious way to die than an ignorant baby, and at the same time, he will not be able to experience too much of the beauty of the world. That would be too easy for him!

So, the soul manifested.

The current head of the family is called Hiirahara Soichiro.

On the night when Soichiro celebrated his sixth birthday, that soul emerged from his bloodline, and in the form of a dead soul that only successive family heads could see, it gave the young family head lying on the bed a fan-shaped smile that was seventy percent hideous and thirty percent evil.

"You won't survive this night!"

After realizing the purpose of the soul, the young master immediately turned over from the bed. Just when the soul thought that Soichiro was going to escape and he could enjoy the joy of revenge in the chase, Soichiro ran to the kitchen, searched over and over in the refrigerator, and finally took out an apple.

"It seems the birthday cake has been distributed among the servants. Only some fruit is left... Would you like some?"

That soul: "..."

Soichiro handed the apple to him solemnly.

He subconsciously reached out to take it, and then the apple passed through the illusory shadow's hand.

That Soul: RageJPG.

Soichiro, if you can survive tonight, I will take your last name!

That night, Soichiro pulled the soul into bed, and the two little ones chatted about everything and everything, and accidentally talked until early morning.

"You won't live past eight!"

The soul uttered a cruel word and changed his revenge plan overnight.

Six years old is too young, there is no joy in killing.

Wait until he grows up a little bit.

It was the year when he was about to become a junior high school student. At that time, he would definitely understand the horror of death more.

From then on, he spent two years with Soichiro and always felt that Soichiro had lost his respect for him.

No, it's too boring to kill like this.

He wanted to create some terror, attack Soichiro from time to time in life, use cold violence against Soichiro, and then kill him five years later.

"Souichiro, you won't live past thirteen!"

"Souichiro, you must die on your fourteenth birthday!"

"Souichiro, I want you to be sixteen... Shit, you got a girlfriend at school? Take me to see her. Is she pretty?"

"What do you mean you won't show it to me? You won't survive the night!"

But that boy's girlfriend was soon snatched away by the yellow-haired senior.

In the middle of the night, Soichiro was curled up in his bed crying loudly, and he had to go and comfort him.

Is there any mistake?

Am I your father?

Also, you're a fucking Hiiragihara man! You're the future king of Nightlight City!

Hurry up and use your powerful background to give that senior a good beating!

How could I be bullied like this?

What do you mean you can't bully others by taking advantage of your power? You're driving me crazy!

"Fight like a man. If you don't beat him up, I'll kill you tonight."

"Ah? I'm already so miserable, and not only do you not comfort me, you even scold me? Ah Nue, do you have any conscience?"

"Don't try to get close to me, get up right now!"

That night, under the instigation of treacherous officials, the Lord of Night Light City overestimated his own capabilities and challenged the yellow-haired sports student to a duel. He was beaten black and blue. The housekeeper found the young master on the street and he was about to die. He repeated the words "I will commit suicide by seppuku" countless times that day, but was stopped by Soichiro, whose face was swollen like a pig's head.

"Ah Nue, are you coming to my coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Soichiro, you will die on the day of your coming-of-age ceremony."

"OK, I'll prepare a place for you."

But, unknowingly, that soul really witnessed Soichiro Hiiragihara's life.

This is an honest, simple and kind-hearted man.

他一生中谈过三次恋爱，第一次在初中，被人给揍飞了，第二在大学，跟一个音乐系的女生聊得很好，但发现彼此三观不怎么合拍，于是恋情也就无疾而终，直到第三次恋爱，他跟一个叫“栀子”的女孩走在了一起，双方恩爱，并且结婚生子。

The son born was named "Takashi Hiiragihara".

The daughter born was named "Hiraharaha".

He also had a close friend whom he called his "lifelong confidant", a friend named Chenzi, whom he had known since he was seven years old.

——Yajima Tsu.

The Yajima family is a family of Onmyoji who defected to the Hiiragihara family six hundred years ago.

Six hundred years ago, like so many stories of lords and their subjects, the head of the Yajima family was impressed by the head of the Hiiragihara family and was willing to be his subject, following a wise master and building a pure land together in troubled times.

That soul also watched the Yajima family come all the way. He was not interested in the Onmyoji of the Yajima family, but he could understand the necessity of the existence of this Onmyoji family... Putting aside other things, the Hiiragihara family guarded the spiritual veins, but had no foundation of extraordinary power. If it were not for the Yajima family serving his family for generations, how could they control the other Onmyoji families that were increasing day by day?

But this idiot trusted the wrong person.

Sometimes, that soul would think - how great it would be if he was really a "Nue". The legendary Nue could identify the good and evil of others at a glance, would protect the kind, and would bring down cruel punishment on the evil... But he was not a Nue. Even if Soichiro called him "Nue", he was not the beast that symbolized disaster.

In other words, only when forty-two parts of hatred and curses come together, he becomes the beast of disaster that wreaks havoc on the world. Under normal circumstances, he is only one forty-second part, and the rest of his soul has gone to the past life, the resentment has dissipated, and he has reincarnated.

If he wants to become a "Nue", he must be involved in the ancient contract buried in the blood of the Hiiragihara family and roar into the world with the past resentment and curse.

Therefore, he does not have the ability to "know people".

That soul could only watch as Soichiro, the person he was supposed to take life from, died at the age of 25.

"Let me give you a sweet dream."

"Oh, what dream?"

"Won't you know if you try it?"

The minister presented a dream to the lord.

In his dream, Soichiro would not have to die at the age of 42. He could grow old with his beloved wife, and his children would each have their own careers. Until he and his wife died of old age in his dream, his breath gradually disappeared in reality.

Even in the last second before he drowned in his dream, Soichiro Hiiragihara never doubted Yajimazu.

How could this friend who had been by his side since he was seven years old, this close friend who had protected him so many times, saved him from danger time and time again, and given him advice on his life time and time again, kill him for no reason, prop up his skin, and walk the world in the body of "Soichiro Hiiragihara"?

The soul just watched.
