Curse Spirit?
It seems like a setting I haven't heard of. Have I recently come into contact with this kind of information?
Gu Mo thought seriously for a moment, still with no much clue. He hadn't really been following any series or watching dramas for a long time. The games he's been playing recently mainly focus on themes of love and peace, humanitarian brilliance shining as the main theme, like "Stellaris" or "King of Crusaders"...
In summary, he hasn't come into contact with this kind of information recently, so it's a bit difficult for him to understand why such a setting suddenly popped up now.
As his thoughts spun around, Megumi Fushiguro had already swiftly dashed into the school building ahead. While divided a bit of attention to keep an eye on the suspicious guy behind him, he didn't relax his vigilance. At the same time, he followed the curse power sensing and quickly locked onto the location within the building with the strongest curse aura and the most intense negative fluctuation.
Indeed, as the core of the curse vortex, this must be where the special-grade cursed object is located!
But just as Megumi Fushiguro was preparing to rush up the stairs, he noticed the person behind him suspiciously slowing down, staying outside the main entrance and not coming in.
This made his heart tighten. Without a second thought, he stopped himself abruptly, turned around, and shouted lowly, "What are you doing?! Hurry up and come over!"
"..."
"..."
"Alright, alright..."
Gu Mo shook his head, withdrawing his gaze from over there without saying much, then followed the guy ahead.
Actually, he was just at the moment indulging in random thoughts while looking around. As a result, his gaze happened to sweep across that side. Although everything was dark under the night, nothing was clear to see, yet a bright sign appeared over there, entering his field of vision—
"??? (100%)"
Gu Mo couldn't be sure whether it's a monster he's imagined himself or something else, instinctively wanting to see more clearly. However, he had just slowed down a bit when Brother Fushiguro noticed and decisively stopped him.
Hmm, seems like now really isn't the time to do this—
After all, what good is seeing clearly? Isn't it just to disgust yourself? At this thought, Gu Mo decisively dismissed his curious urge and intentions, withdrew his sight, and no longer focused on it. He hesitated a bit, still followed the guy ahead into the building.
The reason he hesitated was because he thought of one thing: he had just decided to be a normal person, but now suddenly sneaking into a school at night, isn't it not quite right?
If discovered, he probably wouldn't be able to defend himself.
Just hesitated slightly, Gu Mo seriously thought about the images of those imagined disgusting monsters, then resolutely made a choice… They're too gross, to stay and face those things, clearly is something even more unbearable.
......
"This person... has a problem."
At the same time, somewhere on a high slope outside the school, a figure was standing atop a tree under the cover of night, comprehensively observing the situation inside and outside the campus—he was at least 1.9 meters tall, had striking white hair, and was wearing a black blindfold even at night.
He observed for a moment, then slightly raised an eyebrow, because he had briefly locked eyes from afar with that passerby sticking close to his student's side.
Indeed, even at such a distant separation, the other party's gaze came over, that calm and casual look undoubtedly locked onto his position... It wasn't accidental but truly discovered his presence.
"Huh, interesting, even I judged it wrong..."
The man instantly showed an expression of genuine interest. Where did this monster come from, taking leisure in accompanying the juniors to play the game of pretending to be weak before devouring the tiger? His student is decent, with great potential worth looking forward to, but he hasn't yet reached the point of handling things alone, right? It shouldn't make such a monster interested?
Hmm, then surely they are here for the special-grade cursed object?
He made this reasonable conjecture while frowning. Originally, he thought this task would be like that, and without any accidents, his student could handle it alone, allowing him to slack off quietly and grab a night snack or something.
But now it seems, it can't be like that.
It's not surprising that this man misunderstood—his strength goes without saying, plus naturally possessing Six Eyes, he can see through the other's technique, directly trace or predict the curse power's trajectory. As for directly distinguishing if the target is a Curse Master, that's something done effortlessly.
Yet at this moment, he unusually misjudged...
No matter how he looked, the other was just an ordinary passerby, without any sign of curse technique aura, looking like a normal human who hadn't obtained even curse power... Not to mention Megumi Fushiguro, who is inexperienced and just started, even he had the same view a moment ago.
But this "ordinary person" saw him, secretly observing from afar outside the school.
Put it this way, he didn't notice the other, but the other noticed him... Regardless of whether there was any carelessness or oversight, it at least indicates that the person opposite is absolutely not simple, far from being as ordinary as shown, but a mysterious entity.
Hmm, it's even hard to say if they're human.
......
On the other side.
