"What do you think, how is Haruko?"

At first glance, when he heard Masaki's question, even though he knew very well in his heart that Masaki was definitely not recruiting a son-in-law for Minako at the moment, Mo Yu couldn't help but think crookedly.

Masaki's face darkened, and he also noticed that he was speaking in the wrong tone. What Mo Yu was thinking, he could guess without leaving him - after all, they were all from the past.

"Seriously, I'm not kidding you."

"Well, a simple, cute, strong and kind girl."

"Simple and kind, cute and strong, summed it up well, if possible, I want her to always be healthy and happy, but--"

Masaki sighed and stopped talking.

"Did Haruko tell you about the origin of her name?"

"No, she rarely talks about it to me."

Hearing Masaki mention this, Mo Yu also felt that Minako, no, there was something strange about Haruko Masaki's body now. She seemed to be hiding her information intentionally or unintentionally, and she couldn't refrain from asking for more information about Mo Yu.

"That was many years ago..."

・・・・・・

Keigo Masaki's parents used to be well-known scholars of ancient civilization, and by chance, Masaki's parents saw a strange stone carving. The stone sculpture has a strange shape and exudes a disgusting aura, and at first glance it is known as something very old, but no one can tell where it came from.

The stone sculpture was brought by a long-time friend of Masaki's parents, who had served in the police department for many years, and he came across the stone sculpture while solving a series of disappearance cases that were a sensation in society at the time. According to their investigation, many of the missing people were actually kidnapped by the organization, and when they stormed the criminals' lair to arrest the criminals, they learned that the missing people were actually sacrificed to some kind of cruel ritual, and almost everyone was stunned by the evil and cruelty of the ritual, even the African voodoo sect known to be the most evil in the world. The police realized that they had discovered a new cult, and in order to give proper punishment to these demons in human skin, and to prevent more people from being victimized, the police tried their best to find relevant clues, and the small stone sculpture as a symbol of the festival became the key. To this end, he approached Masaki's parents and asked them to help identify the terrifying figurine so that he could trace the origins of this mysterious cult.

Masaki's parents tried very hard to find clues, but in the end they had no clue, and in a fit of rage, they went abroad to look for clues, and claimed that they would not come back if they could not find the truth. Many years have passed, and they have traveled almost the whole world, but all they can gain is all the legends and unreliable myths, as well as some fragments of literature that are not known to be true or false. During this time, they gave birth to Keigo Masaki. Therefore, Masaki Keigo's initial impression of his parents was that he was buried in documents and a dedicated figure covered in mud and sweat.

・・・・・・

"When I was about five or six years old, my mother became pregnant again."

In Masaki's study, Masaki slowly tells about his past.

"Maybe it was the second pregnancy that cleared their fanatical minds, or maybe they were tired of running around with no results, but in short, they decided to go back to Japan."

"According to the plan, they would have crossed the Pacific Ocean on their flight that night and arrived at the airport in Japan the next morning, if they hadn't encountered that damn storm—"

The plane that the Masaki family was flying on suddenly encountered a strange storm while crossing the Pacific Ocean.

【Pacific?】 Why the Pacific Ocean again? 】

"At that time, even the captain was very surprised, he had not received the storm warning information on the ground before, and according to the general sailing experience, he could not see the slightest warning, and the formation of the storm was completed almost instantly."

"It was raining rain, lightning and thunder outside the plane, and there was chaos inside the plane. Because the mother couldn't stand the bumps, the amniotic water broke in advance and needed to give birth immediately, but everyone was too busy to take care of themselves at that time, except for the father, no one cared about the mother's life or death. There was no midwife, no medicine, not even a decent umbilical cord cut, and almost everyone except the father decided that the mother was going to die. ”

Who knew that the mother finally gave birth to the child smoothly and returned the mother and daughter to safety. Moreover, immediately after the birth of the child, the storm stopped, and even the sun was seen. In honor of the good fortune that the child brought them, the mother named the child Haruko. ”

"Very common story, what's so special about this?"

Mo Yu touched his head, "Isn't it common for parents to give their children a memorable name?" ”

"It's not the name, it's why it happened."

"Wasn't it an accident?"

"Accidents? Do you think it might be an accident for a cumulonimbus cloud to suddenly appear close to a flight that has been flying for 3 hours? ”

These materials were obtained by unscrupulous means when Masaki became an adult.

"Actually, I know that the storm was probably called by the statue."

Masaki told the secret he had hidden for so many years.

"Because at that time, I saw it glow with my own eyes."

That's right, at the moment when the storm blew, Masaki was playing with the stone carving, and just happened to find that its surface was showing an abnormal color change - white and black.

As the storm was blowing its hardest, he leaned his head close to the window and felt the plane be shrouded in shadow; When the plane flew out of the clouds, the Masaki Ghost glanced out of the window, but was surprised to notice two black figures looming in the dark clouds.

"Now that I think about it, Haruko's fate may have been sealed at that time、"

Masaki insisted that something was possessed by Haruko Masaki,

"Haruko didn't realize that there was another personality in her body, which would only be revealed when the main consciousness was asleep or some other extreme circumstances, and whenever she was asleep, the fluctuations of her brain would automatically form strange phenomena around her, such as the summoning of monsters and the development of potential."

"Masaki, your superpowers, is it-"

"As you expected, it was awakened by Haruko's brainwaves."

From this, Mo Yu can also understand how Zhengmu's weird superpowers are formed.

"After talking for a long time, can you show me that evil statuette?"

"Absolutely."

Because of its age, all that remains are yellowed old photos. The stone sculpture in the photo, about seven or eight inches high, is exquisitely crafted, and depicts a monster. The monster had a vague human silhouette, but it had a head like an octopus with many tentacles, a body like a gelatinous substance covered in scales, huge claws on the front and back, and a pair of narrow wings behind it. It seemed to be imbued with an anomalous, frighteningly vicious, slightly bloated fat body crouching on a rectangular boulder or pedestal carved with illegible characters. Its wings rested against the boulder's hind edge, its hips in the middle, its long, curled hind paws grasping the leading edge of the boulder and drooping down almost a quarter of the height of its base. Its octopus-like head was stretched forward, and the ends of its facial tentacles swept over its massive front paws, which hugged its knees. The whole image is unusually realistic, and it is all the more terrifying because its origin is unknown. It is indisputable that it originates from an incalculable period of time, but it does not appear to be associated with any art form known to have originated at the beginning of human civilization or any other period. In addition, its material has become a mystery; The rounded, dark green stone has golden, or iridescent, spots and streaks that are never seen before in geology or mineralogy. The characters on the base are equally puzzling; At that time, it was said that half of the world's linguists were gathered, but they could not find any similar characters with any connection to these characters. They give a terrifying, unreachable feel to the same motifs and materials as the stone carvings.

At this moment, the question that lingered in Mo Yu's mind was: "Why do I have a feeling of familiarity with this strange thing?" ”
