I was running on the street.

Police cars were constantly passing by me around, and the whimpering sirens were particularly noisy at night.

The sixth sense? Instinct? Or the subconscious mind tells me where I want to go?

Even I don’t know why I went to that house of resentment.

I just walked on the street like sleepwalking until...

"Is this... a barrier?"

In a block not far from the House of Resentment, I stopped in surprise because there was a layer of "invisible film" between the two hands in front of me.

"And, this barrier..."

Under the influence of my ability, I could clearly feel that this barrier is centered on the House of Resentment, covering a range of hundreds of meters in a radius. And judging from the fluctuations coming from the barrier, it was obviously just laid out a few minutes ago.

【In this way, with my ability…】

I stretched my right hand forward and felt something like plastic film.

The next second, I suddenly passed through the barrier and fell into the "inside of the barrier".

————————————————

The House of Resentment is burning with a fire.

[Ah? Why didn't such a big fire brigade come?]

When I saw the burning fire, I couldn't help but have this idea, but the next moment I realized that due to the obscurity of the barrier, the people on the outside could not see the fire.

In other words, I am the only one in the inner side of the barrier...

【No, wait, if it were only me, then who set up the barrier?】

Of course, this level of barrier cannot be set up by a vengeful spirit. In that case, the Japanese Onmyoji will probably cry.

On the inside of this barrier, there should be others...

Then, I saw that in the ruins of the fire, there were two people looking for something.

Curiosity drove me to approach them quietly. Although I dared not get too close because I was afraid of being discovered, the shadows on the street corner between Lianzizang and me should be relatively safe seven days ago.

I tiptoed to the shadows and poked my head out to look at the two people in the ruins.

One of them was a monk wearing a shabby monk's robe. He was reciting the scriptures with compassion, as if he was releasing the house burned by the fire.

The other person looked like a nobleman who traveled through time from ancient Japan, but it looked somewhat similar to the Onmyoji in the TV series. At this time, he was looking for something in the sea of ​​fire with an anxious look on his face.

【Monk and…Onmyoji?】

This strange combination made me feel a little dazed. In this city, although Buddhism and Shintoism have not yet reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, they will not give each other any good looks when they meet each other. Now these two people have set up barriers together here, which is indeed quite strange.

And it isn't it strange that these two people will appear when the house is destroyed?

I hid there and observed them carefully. My intuition told me that this room and the vengeful spirits inside were inseparable from them.

"Ah, found it!"

Suddenly, Onmyoji seemed to have found something strange, raised his right hand and shouted in surprise.

【What did he find?】

The strong curiosity made me stick my head out, but Onmyoji's right hand was completely covered by the old monk's body. From the angle I was at, I couldn't see what was in his hand.

"Amitabha, congratulations to Nime, for retrieving the lost object." The old monk clasped his hands and said, "Fortunately, the murderer who destroyed the curse had never destroyed this object."

"That's of course. With that person's ability, it's still far from destroying it." Onmyoji's face was full of surprise. "Although the root of the curse has been completely destroyed, as long as this thing is there, it would be easier to create a curse."

Onmyoji's words trembled in my ears like thunder. He created the resentment? Then isn't this person...

The smile of Onmyoji looks no different from an evil ghost in my eyes. No matter what the situation is, the person who creates a resentful spirit and lets him kill people at will will definitely not be a good person.

Although what I should do now is to leave quickly, I can't escape at all, because if I leave, I'll be likely to be discovered and killed by those two people.

So I could only resist my fear and stay where I was and continue to listen to the conversation between the two people.

"Nimejun, do you have any information about the person who destroyed the curse?"

"There is no clue at all... Judging from the method of being destroyed, it is not a method of Shintoism or Buddhism."

“…Is it someone from the Moriya Shrine in the remote suburbs?”

"No, it's not like, in order to cover up the breath, I deliberately controlled the influence of the curse to a very small range. If I hadn't walked into this room myself, I wouldn't have been attacked by the curse... Who would have entered this room with no time?"

"And as soon as I felt the root of the curse was attacked, I rushed here immediately, and it took no more than five minutes. Judging from the situation on the scene, the person would not leave for more than fifteen seconds... It was really strange."

Onmyoji was puzzled, but I already had a general answer in my heart. The person who destroyed the "root of resentment" should be the man I had met on the street before.

【Although I don’t know how he left, maybe there are other ways to let these two people worry about it.】

Looking at the Onmyoji's thoughts, I smiled secretly in my heart.

After thinking for a while, Onmyoji could only shake his head helplessly and said, "Forget it... it's just an experiment. Judging from the current results, it's quite successful."

"That's good, but Nimeijun, is there any problem with the plan?" the old monk said with some concern.

"Are you suspicious of me?" Onmyoji's voice suddenly pulled up.

"No, I just want to make sure the plan is 100% successful..."

The old monk retreated a few steps with cold sweat. Thanks to his gift, I finally saw clearly what the Onmyoji was holding.

It was a twisted shadow.

Moreover, the twisted shadow seemed to be a living creature with life, and it was constantly changing its shape in Onmyoji's hands. I just took a look and felt my head swelling, and I suddenly felt like I was about to faint.

【This...what is this?】

In shock, I quickly turned my gaze away and did not dare to look at the twisted shadow again, but continued to listen to the conversation between the two.

Onmyoji did not continue to pursue the old monk's defense, but said gritting his teeth: "Of course the plan will succeed. With you and me, plus this meme, it is not difficult to complete the final plan and create a Shikigami that is close to the saint or even the saint level. At that time... I will definitely send the guy who abducted the eldest lady to the stolen rack and burn to death!"

"What do we not envy? I don't envy you now and don't envy you for having a home..."

Unexpectedly, the Onmyoji sang an unknown song with an excited look on his face, and ran away to tears at an extremely fast speed. Seeing this, the old monk hurriedly followed, leaving me alone looking at their backs...
