Chapter 2: The Curse

After the rain, the air is exceptionally clean.

I stood quietly on the balcony on the second floor, looking up at the starry sky, full of stars, and a crescent moon hanging high. The silvery moonlight sprinkled on the earth, and the entire courtyard could be clearly seen, and the constant cricket cries came from the courtyard, which was a little messy and a little panicked......

Why, why is the world so big, why, it's me......

"Xiao Rui, it's almost time." Xiaobai opened the door and walked in, walked next to me and squatted down.

"Xiaobai, you say, when will I be able to see her?" After a long time, I said a word, and I was more like asking myself than asking it.

It didn't speak, just quietly accompanied me, maybe, it didn't know.

The small building I live in is a hundred years old, it is handed down from my ancestors, far away from the city, there is nothing to do, and it is very quiet here. The appearance of the small building is a bit out of keeping up with the times, and after a hundred years, it looks very old, but inside, it is well preserved.

The first floor is the living room, which is usually used to receive guests, although we don't have any guests...... The biggest feature of the entire first floor may be the 42-inch LCD TV, or some time ago Xiaobai begged me to buy it in order to watch it. Next to it is a gray sofa and a coffee table. Next to the windowsill, I put a hammock and a big potted plant, as well as my mother's wine shelf, Xiaobai's comic bookshelf, kitchen, and bathroom.

There are four rooms on the second floor, Mom's, Mine, Xiaobai, and one more, I can't get in.

Tonight, I need to go to the basement.

Speaking of our shrine maiden clan, we have existed since the day of human birth, in the past, we were the messengers responsible for communicating with the gods, and later, it became a sacrifice to predict the future, and later, human beings did not need us.

There are many things in the world that appear too fast and disappear too quickly.

Since humanity did not trust us, we have been abandoned by the whole world.

We have divine power beyond man, but we are not at the level of God.

We have become neither human nor god, and people are afraid of us, treating us as monsters, thinking of us as demons. God looks down on us and treats us like ants to be destroyed at will.

Our people have been wiped out.

Driven out, mutilated, how many people died in incomprehension and resentment, and the anger of the heavens was not only against the ignorant humans, but also against the high God.

When humans persecuted us, when God ignored us, we were the only ones who did not give up on ourselves.

The ancestor activated the forbidden spell and exchanged his life for time.

Since then, our blood can clot for time.

Maybe it is because of too much resentment, we have broken free from the Three Realms and are no longer bound by the laws of heaven and earth, but the price we pay is a curse for generations.

From then on, we were in the business of selling souls.

In each generation, we must continue to collect people's souls until the next generation becomes an adult......

"Boom... Boom...... "At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the old clock hanging on the wall rang, and when the last sound rang, the hour and minute hands suddenly turned rapidly, and in the villa, day and night changed rapidly, light and dark alternated, and with a click, the cup fell to the ground and shattered. A qiē and a return to normal.

I stood in front of the mirror with my hair scattered, but it wasn't me inside, and I hung there quietly in a witch costume, and I wanted to run away at this moment, but I couldn't.

I forced myself to close my eyes slowly, and by the time I opened them, my clothes were already on my body.

"Let's go," I picked up the shrine maiden notes and went downstairs.

Xiaobai followed me slowly, and brought a small black tie around his neck, this tie was definitely his own initiative, smelly and beautiful.

The door to the basement is placed on the first floor, but no one will break in.

The shrine maidens are a secret to the world, how could our ancestors have put a door there for people to discover?

I walked under the ancient bell, pasted the witch's notes on the wall, and bit the left thumb again, and the purple blood flowed out, I dripped the blood on the shrine maiden's notes, and began to drive the spell, and the ancient bell began to rotate again, only this time it was counterclockwise, and when the minute hand returned to the original point again, a qiē would return to the far point.

Time stood still and our work began......

A door appeared on the wall below the ancient clock, and I took a deep breath and opened it.

The basement door opened, and it was pitch black, and I picked up the mermaid candle on the wall and walked down the stairs by the faint light of the candle.

"Xiao Rui, this guest is not small, hee hee ......" The candle smoke rose and transformed into a young girl, she was dressed in silk and satin, and her appearance was beautiful, even if she lived for thousands of years, she spoke like a child. She floated ahead with a grin, as if she couldn't wait.

I don't know which generation of Xiaoyan is the soul of the contract signed by the master.,Recently, there was a comic that mentioned it.,It's said that she was made of mermaid's cream.,It should have been in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.,I remember when I saw this.,She and Xiaobai almost ran away from home.,Just to find her so-called sister.,Although in the end it's gone.。

I don't know what kind of coincidence made her the soul of our clan, and I think it's also an obsession that I can't let go.

"Xiaoyan, you don't follow the rules again, did you secretly talk to customers?"

Xiaobai next to her squinted at her, but there was deep schadenfreude in his tone.

"How can there be ......" Xiaoyan muttered quietly, but his expression was a little weak, and he glanced at me secretly.

"Go back and memorize the clan rules, and if you do it again next time, you will never be spared." I said with a blank face, the house rules cannot be broken...

"Oh~" She was a little aggrieved, shrunk back into the candle with tears, and didn't forget to dig Xiaobai a hard look before leaving.

After a little episode, I went to the deepest part.

The basement is actually more like a collection room.

There are inevitably some collectors, artists and the like among the ancestors, so in addition to putting some souls here, there are many strange things, the most terrifying thing is a beautiful skin, smooth skin, Xiao Qiao's facial features, yes, but fake, after all, we are not allowed to kill people at will, and that skin is not human skin.

Actually, there used to be some toys like skeletons and human heads, but it was my mother's spoof, and since I took over two years ago, I have lost all of them.

Xiaomi laughed at me for a long time, saying that I was scared and didn't let me go.

I don't defend it, because it is.

When I first came here, I was really scared to cry, when I was a child, I was fine, Xiaobai would comfort me and coax me, but when I grew up, everything changed, and the old dog would always tell some bad things to laugh at me.

The question is, what would a person do if they knew all about you?

Kill him......

However, this is not only not a human, but also an old dog that cannot be killed.

The demon of the day saw that I was just about to salute, and for some unknown reason, put down the hand that was on his chest again.

I glanced at him, didn't say anything, and turned into a hut.

I put the teacher's soul on my cabinet and touched it a few times before leaving.

In the hut, the rows of bottles we had collected, but all but mine were empty, and they were just there as a souvenir.

When I came out, the ghost was still there waiting for me

I walked over to the table and sat down, and Millet crouched down next to me.

"Aren't you afraid I'll go in?" The ghost asked me.

"Did you go in?" I didn't answer directly, but opened the note.

The shrine maiden's notes have been stored since the ancestors opened the forbidden arts, and here are all the information of the souls we have collected over the millennium, as well as the notes about the world made by the shrine maidens, like a dictionary, in which you can find all the people or things you have heard of or have not heard.

It may have been that he was too violently pouted by what he had just said, and the ghost just sat there and didn't speak.

Actually, I'm really telling the truth, the Soul House, only every generation of masters of our witch clan can enter it, and even Millet can only be guarded outside.

"I heard, you don't want to answer Xiaobai's question?" Straight to the point, I put the question up.

Originally, Xiaobai intended to help him, so I asked Xiaobai to interrogate him, but he was a little too ignorant.

"I want to talk to you." He looked at me seriously and grinned.

"Let's talk about it." Although I haven't been in contact with anyone, I've met a lot of ghosts, and there are a lot of people with this kind of hippie smile.

"My name is Wu Ti, Yu Jiulu Wu Ti."
