I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

After experiencing the death of a loved one, Yuzu Yuhito stood in front of his grandfather's bed for a long time, and he still feels a little bit unreal, like he is dreaming.

From the time the doctor confirmed his death until his grandfather was pushed out of the ward, the teenager remained silent. Cheng Rang took the initiative to help and went back and forth to complete part of the procedures and procedures afterwards.

There was a knock on the door, and Hu Zhang, who was sitting on a chair with a photo in his arms, raised his head and looked at the door.

Cheng Rang stood sideways by the door: "Youren, the certificate needs to be signed by the family members, and I can't help you with this."

"Understood, I really trouble you...Thank you."

"What are you talking about, no matter how mature you are at your age, you haven't experienced the experience of the important people around you leaving, right? I'm just lifting a finger."

Cheng Rang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I can't persuade you to look away. It's okay to cry at this time. It's better to say that crying for the death of a loved one is a real man. I can only give you some time to be alone. Time, in short, everything will pass, time will always dilute everything."

"Um...."

Hu Zhang put down the photo, walked out the door and passed by Cheng Rang, he stopped.

Under Cheng Rang's puzzled gaze, the young man raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It's only now that I feel that Brother Cheng is not the kind of decadent office worker who only drinks and buys drunk!"

"What..." Cheng Rang gave a wry smile, and leaned against the door with his hips crossed, "I realize it's too late now, let's go."

"Oh!"

Although the knotweed still resumed that kind of joking tone, there was no time to cover up the red eye sockets, which could only make people feel that he was reluctant.

But these are all excusable, and Cheng Rang didn't expose them.

After the death certificate was signed by the knotweed from the nurse's desk, all the procedures were over.

Carrying the handbag containing the grandfather's relics, the two walked home from outside the hospital together.

"By the way, the cremation of Grandpa's body is scheduled for tomorrow with me and the hospital, here."

The canned drink made a short arc in the air and fell into the hands of the knotweed.

"When did you buy this?" Polygonum cuspidatum looked a little surprised, looking at the iced Coke in his hand, which was still steaming with fresh air.

"I picked it up from where I worked part-time."

"Bring it on? This is a crime!"

"Hey~ I will pay back the money, I will pay back when I get paid."

Knotweed handed the Coke back to Cheng Rang: "Then I won't drink this, until you pay for it."

Cheng Rang laughed heartily twice, patted the shoulder of Polygonum Weed a few times and said, "You're just kidding, I used my last 500 yuan coin to treat you. Drinking some ice Coke at this time of summer can make people happy." Get up."

The knotweed held the coke that Cheng Rang had forcefully stuffed back again, and stared at him blankly.

"But...that's the last bit of money you have, right?"

"Right."

"Used to buy me drinks, just to make me happy?"

"Yes."

Cheng Rang nodded with a quick look of course, then waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if it's money or not. I don't value those things. The most important thing is to help people around me, even if it's insignificant. It's enough to make me feel at ease, what's more, the only person who is with you now is my big brother, isn't it?"

"Since you called me Big Brother Cheng, I must have the spirit to be your big brother." He said to himself.

"..."

Knotweed stared at the Coke in his hand, something flashed in his eyes, and then he grinned at Cheng Rang.

"Then I'm welcome!"

In the eyes of Hu Zhang Youren, it may be because when he was most vulnerable, only Cheng Rang was by his side, so even though the two met not long ago, he still felt that Cheng Rang was a good person.

In those deep and clear black eyes, there is a maturity that seems to exceed his appearance.Just walking with him can make people feel calm and at ease, like a real elder.

This made the knotweed that had just lost his grandfather, and it deepened Cheng Rang's image in his mind.

"Thank you, Brother Cheng!"

"Oh, you look more refreshed."

Cheng Rang also scratched the pink hedgehog hair of Polygonum cuspidatum with a smile. This kind of relationship quietly progressed as it should be, without any sense of disobedience.

But Cheng Rang's real age is for Youren, who is only 15 years old, and Cheng Rang is probably the one who suffers the most if he is called Grandpa.....

Just as Cheng Rang and the others were about to walk out of the hospital gate, a voice suddenly came from the shadows beside them.

"Kojo Yuhito... right?"

"you are?"

"I am Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu

Fushiguro from the College of Vocational College, I have something to tell you now. "

The visitor was dressed in a black uniform with a stand-up collar, with black hair and black pupils, sharp eyes slightly hanging from the corners of his eyes, and his expressionless face gave off a cold appearance.

But he is obviously not very old, so Cheng Rang will feel that he is deliberately pretending to be cool and handsome.

Ok...?Wait, Tokyo Metropolitan Magic College? !

The more Cheng Rang listened, the more familiar it became, and he immediately opened the system task list silently to confirm.

[Partner Mission 1: Meet up with your partner "Isabella Campbell" at the Tokyo Metropolitan College of Magic and Magic. 】

Isn't Isabella over there? !

"That... I'm in mourning..." The tone of the knotweed was somewhat helpless.

"I'm sorry, I don't have time—the spell in your hand is very dangerous, please hand it over to me immediately."

"Curse?"

The teenager expressed doubts about words he had never heard of.

Fu Hei took out his phone and showed him a photo.

"this."

Polygonum cuspidatum leaned over and took a look. The thing in the picture was an old wooden rectangular brocade box, which was opened, and inside was an oval-shaped unknown object wrapped in thick talisman paper strips.

"Ah yes yes, this is what I picked up."

When Hu Zhang said this in a nonchalant tone, the boy named Fu Hei was obviously shocked.

"I don't care, but the seniors are very interested. Why is that thing dangerous?"

"...In Japan, the number of unknown deaths and missing persons exceeds 1 people every year, and most of them are caused by 'curse'."

"curse?"

"Believe it or not, that's the truth."

"That... classmate Fu Hei?" At this time, Cheng Rang found an opportunity and was finally able to intervene.

"Whoever is a classmate with you, just call me Fu Hei." Fu Hei didn't show any affection to Cheng Rangtao's close behavior.

"Well, you said that you are from the Tokyo Metropolitan High School of Curse and Magic, but this is Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, why do you come here? Don't the students there take classes?"

"...I'm not going to answer your question."

Fu Hei glanced at Cheng Rang, and when he was about to speak again, he heard a surprising message from Cheng Rang.

"By the way, do you know Isabella Campbell?"

There was a flash of surprise in Fu Hei's eyes, curious how the man in front of him knew about Mr. Campbell, so he asked casually, "Who are you?"

But who would have known that Cheng Rang's words were astonishing on the spot.

"Oh, me...I'm her husband."

"impossible!"

Fu Hei took a step back abruptly, and immediately denied it.

"What's impossible?"

"Ms. Campbell..." Fu Hei was stunned in the middle of his words. In his memory, Mr. Campbell, who came to the college as a trainee teacher, seemed to have never talked about her emotional experience...

"Look, I'm still wearing my wedding ring. It's the first time we met, what did I lie to you for?" Cheng Rang stretched out his hand, and a silver-blue ring was shining on his left ring finger.

Indeed, Ms. Campbell also wears a pair of rings on her left ring finger. She is very concerned about that ring and keeps it carefully.

In Fu Hei's eyes, Ms. Campbell is undoubtedly a very kind and gentle teacher. Even if she is just an intern teacher, her serious and responsible attitude towards the students and her warm smile all the time make people respect and agree with her.

What's more, Mr. Campbell was attacked by the curse spirit and fell into a coma in order to protect other people...and even lost a large part of his memory.

Regarding this point, Fu Hei thought that the man in front of him who claimed to be Mr. Campbell's husband didn't know.

But it's too complicated to explain and confirm here. The most important thing at the moment is to recover the stray special-grade spells as soon as possible.

So Fu Hei decisively changed the subject.

Chapter 10 Special Spells

"In schools and hospitals, it is especially easy to gather a lot of resentment, pain, regret, shame... Negative human emotions are the source of the curse."

"So many schools secretly store exorcism spells, and the one you got is one of them."

Hu Zhang raised his hand as a questioning gesture: "Since it is used to exorcise demons, isn't it a good thing?"

Fu Hei frowned, and continued: "It's not all like this. If you store evil curses, other curses will not come close. This is highly poisonous. The so-called exorcism is just a bad habit with a name... .Its seal has been loosened year by year, and now it has become a bait to attract curses and make it grow stronger."

Cheng Rang squeezed his chin and said, "Good guy, that means you guys are raising Gu in schools and hospitals? If there is no problem, there must be ghosts."

"So it needs to be recovered before the seal completely expires. This is the purpose of my trip." Fu Hei pointed to the knotweed stick in front of him, "The one he got was classified as a 'super class' dangerous substance. Take your life, hand it over quickly."

"Storing this kind of thing in a place where ordinary people can pick it up is outrageous. I have serious doubts about the reliability of your high school..."

Regarding Cheng Rang's verbal attack, Fushiguro could only grit his teeth and continue, he covered his forehead as if he had a headache and said: "I am also angry at the person who did this and want to punch him in the face, but there is no way.

at this point. "

"Then we can only try our best to save it." Cheng Rang shrugged his shoulders. He has basically completed the collection of information, and he already has an idea of ​​how to achieve the next stage of the task. Next, he only needs to watch the show, and then find an opportunity to follow Fu Hei can join Isabella when he returns to the High School of Conjuration together.

Knotweed touched his pocket, and took out the same small wooden box as in the photo, "This is it, right? A super-grade spell...Brother Cheng, didn't you ask me what dirty things I touched today? Could it be that?" When did you find out?"

"Sa, who knows?" Cheng Rang's answer was subtle.

Fu Hei quickly snatched the box, opened it but found it was empty.

"What's inside?!"

"I've said it all, it's on the senior's side! Hey, that's right..." The knotweed seems to have remembered something.

"how?"

"They said that they will take off that talisman at school tonight."

As soon as these words came out, Fu Hei obviously took a few steps back as if he had been hit hard, and his pupils trembled uncontrollably.

Cheng Rang scratched his head at this.

"What a group of qualified [Spirit Research Association] members..."

"Eh? Could it be that something big is going to happen?"

"It's not just that." Fu Hei said slowly.

"They... will die!"

----------------

In the dim corridor of the teaching building, warm yellow light shines from the doors and windows at the end, flickering the shadows printed on the wall.

The simple signboard of the "Psychological Phenomena Research Society" is just a few black characters written on white paper with a pen and pasted on the door.

In the room, a white candle was burning between Iguchi and Sasaki, who were sitting opposite each other around the table, and the "special curse object" in Fuhei's mouth was being played with by Sasaki-senpai at this moment.

"Strange...can't take it off..."

The talisman paper obviously looked loose, but it was very difficult to tear it apart.

"Is it necessary to sneak in to do this?" Iguchi saw that Sasaki hadn't made any progress for a long time, so he got up and was about to turn on the light, but she stopped him.

"No, don't spoil the atmosphere! Feeling the excitement is the essence of the spiritual seminar, and nothing will happen anyway..."

It seems that Cheng Rang's prank in the last test of courage felt extra stimulation, and the fearless boys and girls didn't have the slightest awareness of their dangerous behavior.
