"The puppet is finally out of power...... It's hard to imagine that a small meteorite can have such a huge amount of power. ”

At the same time that Shiho Miyano learned of his sister's death in Gin's mouth and fell into despair, Toru Amamiya on the other side finally solved the puppet completely.

Unable to carry out the preset instructions of his own internal logic, the doll, carved by an old man full of anger and resentment, discharges almost incessantly into the Ferrari cage that traps him.

But alas, for a grounded Faraday cage, its power is still too weak.

For a full night, it drained all its energy and released electricity, completely losing its ability to attack in the trap.

Looking at the puppet motionless in the trap, the three of them were a little relieved.

Granny Tae wore her coat and accompanied Toru Amamiya and Kotoko Iwanaga in the slightly cold sea breeze for almost a night.

This is a very rare thing for an old man as self-disciplined as her.

She just wanted to see the end of the puppet and confirm some of her guesses

"Archer, if there are any curse-related items in the puppet's body, or some places with someone's name written on it, please check it."

Toru Amamiya, who has long been accustomed to such a life of day and night reversal, does not feel too uncomfortable, but Kotoko Iwanaga is already a little sleepy.

It was exhausting to think of a strategy for the puppet in such a short period of time, and then to stay here all night.

She instructed Toru Amamiya to put the finishing touches on it.

As a cultivator, Toru Amamiya has his own way of removing the curse.

Kotoko Iwanaga watched Toru Amamiya's movements, the battle plan for the puppets was at the end, and Kotoko Iwanaga didn't want to rest at this time.

She didn't want her boyfriend to accomplish such a dangerous thing alone in no one's eyes.

Toru Amamiya carefully lifted the cage, looking at the head hanging inside and completely powerless, losing to reality and posing as a puppet for Toru Amamiya to play with.

Unceremoniously, he began to rummage up and down.

"There seem to be several names engraved on his waist......" Toru Amamiya quickly found a clue.

"It's just, in addition to those four college students, there's an extra name here."

"Extra names?"

Kotoko Iwanaga was a little confused, although she had already heard a lot of things about the doll and its maker, Zenta, from the cat and Granny Tae before.

But she wasn't a first-hand witness to these things...... No matter how smart Kotoko Iwanaga is, she can't reason everything.

And behind Kotoko Iwanaga, Granny Tae lowered her head and smiled a little.

"That should be my name, right?"

Toru Amamiya and Kotoko Iwanaga looked back in surprise, and Granny Tae got the answer she wanted from Toru Amamiya's eyes.

"Zenta just doesn't want to admit that I'm happy...... He was jealous of my guiltless acceptance of life now, and he thought I should have died a long time ago. ”

Granny Tae looked at the morning sun on the horizon with a relaxed face, smiling heartily, as usual every morning.

Just like the man who almost died with the puppet and the four college students because of the curse was not him.

Toru Amamiya was silent for a moment, and continued to examine the doll, studying the meteorite in its hand.

The doll has long since depleted its own energy, and it has lost not only the ability to discharge, but also the ability to curse others.

Or rather...... Toru Amamiya can see it, and Kotoko Iwanaga can also see that this meteorite actually doesn't have the ability to curse others, and even the ability to do harm is very weak.

Although it comes from space, it is only a stone with slight psychic abilities.

Perhaps the energy in it could cure an old man's migraine, but it's not a dream come true.

Toru Amamiya easily removed the meteorite from the puppet's arm and put it on his hand to take a closer look.

Granny Tae continued to tell her story.

"I have two children, but they both died in traffic accidents at a very young age......"

"The perpetrator was very rich and gave us a lot of compensation, and the insurance company also paid us a lot of compensation."

"Obviously, we have long been free of food and clothing, but with so much money, my wife and I feel that it is not a good thing to take money too seriously, so we invested all these compensation funds in friends who want to start a business."

Speaking of which, Granny Duohui was a little helpless, and it could be seen that she really didn't want to use the money that symbolized the death of her child.

It's like the father Ogino who tried to kill the doctor to divert the pain in his heart.

But the difference between Daddy Dino and Granny Tae is that Granny Tae always has her own conscience, and Granny Tae is far stronger than Father Ogino, who deceives himself.

She and her lover chose to accept this painful reality and do their best to continue living.

“…… It's just that, as if a joke, my friend's business was successful, and the money became more and more, and in the end it almost doubled several times. ”

"We worked hard to donate all the money to the Traffic Accident Foundation, to the orphans who had no relatives, and finally we had the rest of the money to match who we are."

"My husband suddenly drowned and died, and the insurance company paid me a lot of money."

It sounds like the story of a lucky person, but Granny Tae doesn't feel like she is lucky.

Perhaps such a huge sum of money can make everyone in the world so happy that they can't help themselves, but Granny Duohui would rather exchange all the money for her dead relatives.

In a sense, Granny Tae is actually another Zenta, another Ogino Daddy.

The only difference is that no matter how difficult life is, Granny Duohui still chooses to live well, no matter how sad the death of her relatives is.

Although those who stand on a high place and come from those who have nothing to do with themselves, Granny Tae bears the name of a witch in the dark speculation of many people.

Granny Tae still smiled in the sun, and left it all in the dust beside her.

"Probably because of these things, I don't know when I became a celebrity in the town, and even the mayor and the governor of the town approached me for ideas."

"But there are still many people who privately refer to me as a witch who makes a fortune from the corpses of my relatives......"

"And Zenta's fact that such a thing happened and he didn't get the sympathy of the townspeople may also have something to do with a precedent like me...... The townspeople are jealous of Zenta's windfall as much as they are of me. ”

"That's why I'm worried about him......"

Granny Tae watched as the monsters on the beach dispersed one after another, and the newborn morning sun shone on the lifeless doll.

There was some emotion in her words.

"It's really a guy who treats kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs," Kotoko Iwanaga thought of the name of Granny Tae on the doll, and was a little upset, "I'm often seen as a girl favored by God." ”

"It's a pity that no matter how you look at it, my dear boyfriend doesn't give me much attention."

Granny Tae secretly glanced at Toru Amamiya, showing a smile that an old man should show, and didn't answer the conversation.

"Life...... Maybe it's all like this. ”

"I had the idea of wanting to do it all the time, but in the end I didn't have the courage to end myself."

"I used to fantasize that this cat demon that suddenly appeared could eat me in one bite, like that...... I was also able to have a death that I could boast of to my children when I died. ”

"Unfortunately, even the cat said I would outlive it."

"How long is my damn life going to last?"

Granny Tae looked at the rising sun and put on her sunglasses to go home to rest.

The cat glanced at Granny Tae and obediently followed behind her.

-------------------------------------

"So...... You should have seen that this puppet is not only because of the meteorite, nor is it just because of Zenta's resentment. ”

On the way back, the Shinkansen was still a battered but undestroyed Shinkansen, Toru Amamiya said to Kotoko Iwanaga.

"You mean this stone? Yes, I think the reason why the puppet is active is not just because of Zenta's obsession. ”

"The activities of the puppets actually have the obsession of Granny Tae, right?"

"She is a rare old man with a certain psychic ability, and she wishes to have such an ability."

Kotoko Iwanaga wasn't surprised at Toru Amamiya's question, she had seen something was wrong early on.

"That man longs for death, and for a death full of meaning."

"She may have subconsciously made a wish when she first saw the doll, hoping that it would bring disaster to the town."

And she was responsible for blocking her life in the midst of this disaster...... Bring peace and tranquility back to the town. ”

"A grand death...... Maybe she doesn't need an audience, she just needs some meaning, and a reason to die. ”

Kotoko Iwanaga looked at the ever-changing scenery outside the Shinkansen, looked at her boyfriend, and asked questions as if unintentionally.

“…… She was subconsciously making a wish, expecting a grand death. ”

"And what about you, Archer? You are busy between educating sinners and having fun every day, what are you wishing for? ”

Kotoko Iwanaga asked a rare serious question...... She actually knows that her seemingly omnipotent boyfriend has always been trapped in a small square inch by something.

But...... What trapped him? Kotoko Iwanaga didn't know.

She couldn't read what was in Toru Amamiya's eyes.

All she knew was that Toru Amamiya would always wake up in the middle of the night and look at the window like a child and be silent.

Toru Amamiya never cried, even though Kotoko Iwanaga could clearly see the indelible sadness on his face every night.

The carriage fell silent for a long time...... This is bound to be a difficult question to answer.

Fortunately, a little ghost who didn't know how to rush onto the Shinkansen that was traveling at high speed saved Amamiya from the siege.

"Princess, Demon God! Oh no! ”

"The girl you brought my attention to before...... Something happened to her! ”

The imp looked a little anxious, as if it had taken a lot of time for it to catch the train.

Girl? A girl who has a special purpose for the demons and monsters to pay attention to?

Toru Amamiya instantly reacted to who this girl was, her iron-gray eyes were not the slightest variegated, so clean that people couldn't see any emotion.

He turned his head to look at the end of the train.
