Master told us He predicted that his fate was coming to an end, and his biggest regret in life was that he failed to destroy it.

Although master sealed it on the spot back then, this kind of seal is very different from the original seal in the Maw.a.n.g shrine

The original seal was created by a great Onmyoji from ancient times. Its very stable and every year, the villagers would hold the three societies sacrificial ceremony to consolidate the magical power on it with the help of the power of the three bodhisattvas.

However, masters seal is still far from that effect. He knows That the seal will be broken by it one day, and the people will be in great misery.

Therefore, master entrusted the task of eliminating it to us, his disciples, before he pa.s.sed away, hoping that we could work hard and completely destroy it one day.

When he said this, he shook his head and sighed.Sigh The day after I finished explaining all this, master pa.s.sed away. I never would have thought that After his death, my senior brothers would start fighting for the position and legacy he left behind, not taking masters instructions to heart at all

But youre different, right? Feng bujue added.

Yes. Sugamoto nodded.After that, I prepared for two months and chose a sunny day And came to Chong Jiu primary school. He paused for a moment.That Happened to be summer six years ago. As the school had been abandoned for a long time, I was able to enter easily.

I remember it very clearly On that Midsummer afternoon, when I walked into this school, all the hair on my body stood up. Its clear that even in a sealed state,it can still exert influence on the surrounding s.p.a.ce.

Hold on RUO Yu interrupted,since it is so powerful that even nara at his peak couldnt destroy it, then you at that time Werent you trying to hit a rock with an egg?

I didnt say that I was here to destroy it six years ago. Sugamoto replied,Im just here to confirm how strong it is Only then can I know how far I have to cultivate before I can complete masters task.

Oh When Feng bujue heard that, he laughed easily.So, you chose a relatively safe time to come to Chong Jiu primary school and a.s.sumed that it, who was in a sealed state, could not do anything to you. Ha In the end, that reconnaissance mission He said and tilted his head at Sugamoto,Caused you to end up in such a state.

Sigh When Sugamoto heard this, he let out another long sigh.Now that things have come to this, I no longer care about what kind of ending I will have He said solemnly,its been six years. My body has undoubtedly rotted away, and my soul Has been trapped in this yang illusion, unable to enter Samsara.

Why did it only trap you and not do anything else to you? Feng bujues tone when he asked this question was subtle, like he was saying,why havent you been beaten to a pulp yet?

Before today, I didnt know why, but Sugamotos expression changed slightly, and he replied,just now, I understood. He looked at brother Jue and RUO Yu separately.At this moment, your four companions who are in the Yin illusion are slowly unsealing themselves under the guidance of a it who is pretending to be Shouta Sugamoto

Oh I see, Hearing this urgent information, brother Jue was as calm as ever. He was not in a hurry to ask how to return to the illusion of Yin. Instead, he chose to figure out all the information that he could get.So, this means that it kept your soul to pretend to be you?

Yes, I am. Sugamoto replied,the soul of an Onmyoji is different from an ordinary person s. If an ordinary persons soul can not enter the cycle of reincarnation, it will be lost, rot, die, and even turn into a demon But an Onmyoji will not lose no matter how long they die. Not only can our soul retain our memories, but our appearance will also not change much from when we are alive. And it took advantage of this By making use of the yang side of me and the Yin side of me to create a mirror image of a soul and possess it To trick your companions.

HmmI see. Feng bujue thought about it for a few seconds to organize his thoughts before adding,by the way, theres one more thing that Im not sure of There were seven people who survived that year. And there are six of us here today, so Where did the cla.s.s monitor, Watanabe, go?

At the same time, in the Yin illusion.

Xiao Tans group of four followed Sugamoto back to the second floor and entered the headmasters office.

Brother Jue! Are you guys alright? Once he entered, Xiao Tan rushed to the entrance of the wine cellar and yelled at the floor.

However No one responded to him.

Whats going on? An Yueqin also walked over and read nervously,did something happen to them?

Your companions Are no longer there. At that moment, Sugamoto suddenly spoke.

Youre saying Xiao Gui looked at Sugamoto and said,theyve already He did not finish his sentence and waited for Sugamoto to continue.

At this point, ghost hunter was obviously careful. His half-sentence was a very good way to test him. From a players point of view, he could confirm the survival status of his two teammates through the team bar, but NPCs and monsters did not know this. Therefore, if this self-proclaimed Onmyoji said that it had already killed the two, he was obviously lying.

At that moment, Xiao Tan, Xiao Ling, and an Yueqin all realized what ghost hunter meant, so they remained silent and waited

I only know that their souls havent been destroyed yet, and theyre no longer in the wine cellar. There were no loopholes in Sugamotos answer.

Where did they go? Xiao Ling asked.

Youre asking me, but who should I ask? Sugamoto replied,I can only sense that their souls are still in this s.p.a.ce, but as for where they have been brought to Only it knows.

Then how should we save them? Xiao Tan pressed.

Theres no need for that. Sugamoto replied coldly,the six of you are already dead. Theres no need to save you As long as it still exists, you and all the ghosts here can forget about leaving this s.p.a.ce. He paused for a moment.The only way to get rid of this fate is to destroy it.

Before he finished, Xiao Tan suddenly said,Eh? When did this drawer

As Sugamoto was speaking, Xiao Tans eyes had noticed something. When the players were walking down the stairs, the large drawer in the headmasters office was still closed, but now The drawer had moved a little, as if it had been unlocked.

Be careful It might be a trap. Ghost hunter became very cautious. For some reason After separating from brother Jues group, ghost hunter had a very strange feeling This feeling repeatedly told him that he had to stay alert.

Let me do it, At this moment, Sugamoto took two steps forward and said in a matter-of-fact tone,you must protect yourselves well. To complete the final magical formation, we need at least five people.

As he spoke, he had already opened the drawer.

The situation in the big drawer was the same as the two cla.s.srooms that the players had explored earlier. There were four items in total.

Lets talk about it one by one

First of all, it was a plot item that could be taken out of the scenario.

[Name: ta.s.sel belt]

[Type: Plot related]

[Rarity: normal]

Function: unknown

[Able to bring out of the scenario: yes]

[Remark: linen. The buckle is made of pure silver. The purple color and the length of the ta.s.sels are the highlights of the design.]

This was another item that could be worn, but like the other items, its use was unknown

Then, the second Kasaya.

[Name: its spleen]

[Type: Plot related]

[Rarity: normal]

[Function: can be embedded in its body.]

Able to bring out of the scenario: no

Remarks: a pocket-sized organ made of green jade. It exudes spiritual Qi.

Well I wont explain.

The third item was a piece of paper that looked like an unfinished letter. The handwriting of the letter showed that the person who wrote it was very nervous at the time, or his hand was shaking due to other physiological reasons. However, the contents of the paper were still distinguishable. Mr. Sato, I dont know if your mental disorder is temporary or permanent. If its forever, then this letter will be my confession to myself. However, if one day you can regain your senses and read this letter, I just want to say sorry to you. Im the cause of all this. Im not a competent princ.i.p.al, and I cant even be considered a decent man. After my wife died of illness, I tried to numb myself with alcohol, but I ended up getting into the bad habit of drinking. Its also this kind of bad practice that allowed me to get to where I am today. Suzuki, Noguchi, you I dont know how many more people will die because of this, but I cant hold on any longer. Please forgive me, everyone. Forgive me for using my death to escape responsibility, because,it

The message on the paper stopped there. There was no more content after the word it(the letter was also written in j.a.panese, so it was a word here instead of a word), and there was no punctuation or other trace.

Finally, the fourth item Im sure you can guess the [warehouse key].

A few minutes later, the players and Sugamoto arrived at the corridor outside the headmasters office.

Sugamoto did not take the two quest items. He handed them over to the players for safekeeping. However, he held onto the key, because He took the initiative to undertake the task of opening the door.

As mentioned before, the door of the warehouse was flat. Sugamoto inserted the key, turned it and pushed it, and the door opened.

Surprisingly, this room Had lights.

There was a light bulb hanging from the ceiling of the warehouse, and this light bulb Was actually emitting a red light.

The light enveloped the s.p.a.ce of less than 30 square meters in front of everyone, just like Fire.

Contrary to the name warehouse, the room was empty. Not only was there no furniture or junk, there wasnt even a window. Other than the light bulb above, there was only a wall, and there was not even a light switch on the wall.

However, there were still some unusual things. For example The six walls of this warehouse were made of charred wood. In addition, there was an array drawn on the floor.

This formation was not the magic formation in the Western mythology, but something with Oriental characteristics.

On the whole, the magic circle was drawn with a red liquid, but whether it was blood, paint, or some other material It was hard to tell because the magic circle seemed to have been drawn a long time ago, and the liquid had dried up.

In the middle of the formation, in a circular area the size of a basin, a bunch of j.a.panese characters were written in a spiral from the inside out. The system did not translate them. Outside of the words, a perfect circle was drawn, and the circle extended into the horizontal and horizontal lines of the four gates and Eight Trigrams. In the areas divided by the lines, there were many spells written Of course, they were words that the players could not understand.

This thing on the ground Whats going on? After seeing those things, ghost hunter was the first to ask.

I drew this six years ago. Sugamoto continued,Oh Right, you guys dont remember.

These two sentences seemed to have triggered something Then, Sugamoto, who had stepped into the door, began to narrate the plot.

And the story of this Sugamoto was a different version from the one that brother Jue and the others had encountered

Six years ago, all of you returned to chongjiu elementary school at the invitation of cla.s.s monitor Watanabe to attend the so-called cla.s.s reunion.

At that time, all of you naturally had no memories of the 520 tragedy

Because after that incident, the government forced the seven of you to be isolated and undergo so-called psychological treatment. A year later, when you returned to your parents side, you had already lost that memory. After that, your families have been arranged by the government to live far away. In your memory There is nothing unusual about your childhood memories. It is just that because the school will be closed, everyone transferred schools in the second grade.

After that, all of you grew up on your own. When you were twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, all of you had left home to live on your own. Those around you who know that you are related to that incident also think that the nightmarish experience has long pa.s.sed.

No one would have thought That one summer, when all of you were coincidentally free, the cla.s.s monitor in your memories Watanabe would send you an invitation to a cla.s.s reunion.

Perhaps it was fate or its arrangement The six of you gathered at the abandoned Chong Jiu elementary school on a dark day.

That day Your cla.s.s monitor didnt appear, because he was already controlled by it. The letter he sent out was to lure the six of you here
