Luyeya squatted down and looked the dark red box up and down: "Master, this box shouldn't be the one from Qiu Dao's family, right?" ”

The box that can summon the train, the first time Oga and Ms. Shiomi arrived at the Akido Hotel, they went to the utility room to look for it, but they didn't find it.

Later, I heard from Qiu Dao's father that he hadn't had time to deal with it yet.

Originally, Kanoya and Ms. Shiomi thought that it was because the train was withdrawn, so the box disappeared together.

But that doesn't seem to be the case now.

"That's it, I'll go after you've got out of the train...... Ahem, I mean, I'll send Ohara to take the box away as soon as possible. Kamiya nodded.

"Oh, okay."

Shikano Yaxin said that Sister Ohara stayed with him later, so how could he have time to get the box first.

The box must have been picked up by the master himself.

However, the master seems to want to maintain the setting of "I really didn't go to Hakkoda myself as a teacher, you retired the train yourself, and you did it very well independently".

After all, the previous words have been spoken.

Maybe you want to look like you're not so doting and worried about your apprentices?

But this is not another kind of coddling.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Kanomiya knew that Kamiya personally ran Hakkoda once, and Kamiyagawa also knew that Xiaolu knew this, but for the sake of Kamiya's face, the master and apprentice tacitly agreed.

"But, Master, this thing is dangerous, isn't it? Why do you pick everything up at home? Shikanoya subconsciously moved a little away from the dark red box, "Oh...... I mean, how did you get Sister Ohara to pick this up? ”

Syllable!

"Oops!"

Kamiya raised his hand and tapped on the apprentice's head.

"What are you afraid of, the train summoned by this box has been killed by your own hands."

"Also...... Oh yes. Shikanoya kept in a squatting position, raised his hand and rubbed his head, "But, Master, what exactly is this box?" ”

"Sub-pick-up."

"Bird box?"

What is it?

What's going on when you hear the name and it's weird and cute?

"It's not a bird, it's a [child] [take]."

In Japanese pronunciation, the pronunciation of "kotori" is similar to that of "kotori".

And because the word "subtori" is too obscure, not many people know the meaning, so when ordinary people hear the name of this box, they will think it is "bird box".

Later, in the spread of the people, there were also false rumors, and the sub-box slowly really had the nickname of "bird box".

As for the true meaning of "sub-taking", "sub" refers to "child", while "taking" means "taking and killing".

Killing is a form of magic that causes people to die a painful death through curses.

That is, the art of sling.

Thus, the meaning of the self-pickup box is revealed.

"Curse the evil thing that kills the child? So, it's okay for Akimichi's dad to open it, but when Akimichi opens, it attracts the train? ”

The fawn probably understood a little, and silently moved behind Kamiya from before the sub picked up the box.

She feels that she is now 15 years old, and she has to go to the pediatrician to see a doctor, and she should still be in the category of children.

"I guess that's okay. Generally speaking, the cursing effect of the sub-box will be reflected in women and children, and adult men are relatively difficult to influence. However, this set of chests is not complete now, and when it is complete and at its full effect, perhaps any living creature within a radius of thousands of miles or even beyond will be directly cursed by it, without exception. ”

"Yikes! Is it really okay to put such a scary thing in our home? ”

"It's incomplete, don't worry. Specifically, I was told by Jue after the identification, and I brought this box to her before. She said that this set of boxes used to be a top-level spell. ”

Kanoya: ?

Master, I'm even more worried when you say that, okay?

Kamiyagawa: "But the contents of this set of boxes are no longer there, and they have been opened—I mean, long before the Akido father and daughter. The curse inside is no longer valid, but the remaining chest can still be regarded as a very powerful item material, after all, the top curse has been sealed, and it is now a top curse container. So, don't worry. ”

“…… Master, you finished speaking in one sitting, really. Kanoya, who was cowering behind Kamiya, poked his head out again, "But what does 'what's inside' mean, anything other than a curse?" ”

"Well, those 'things' that make curses."

As for how the sub-pickup box was made, this is naturally what Sister Jue told Kamiya River-

First of all, the pre-made box is filled with the blood of the female.

Any animal can be, but it can't be a human.

And it is best to use larger animals, because in the first step of making the sub-pick-up box, it should be filled with animal blood and let it stand for a week, during which the blood should not dry up, so the demand for blood is very large.

After completing the first step, the next step is the ritual and the insertion of a part of the child's body into the box.

The so-called "intermittent introduction" should have been an agricultural term.

It means "to remove the seedlings".

If the cultivator's seedlings are too close to each other, they will compete with each other for nutrients, and the end result is that they all become dead seedlings.

At this time, it is necessary to pull out the miscellaneous seedlings that are not growing well to ensure that the remaining seedlings can thrive.

The in-line for making a sub-box refers to "parents killing their children".

In the old days of Japan, especially during the period of famine and epidemic, among the people at the bottom, there were many incidents of "intriguing".

If the adults in the family are unable to eat, the child born will have no hope of being fed, and the baby born at this time is likely to be "intrigued".

It is also possible that when the family has just given birth to a child, it can ensure that the family can barely fill their stomachs, but when the child grows up, grows up to six or seven years old, and is not yet able to participate in labor, something suddenly happens in the family, and the conditions for raising the child are lost.

In short, just like the original meaning of the word "intermediate".

In a special period, if the survival of adults who can participate in labor is threatened, then the children who consume "nutrients" in the family will be regarded as "seedlings" and become victims to ensure that the labor force can survive.

This kind of thing is unimaginable in modern times, but in the old days of Japan, it was a real thing.

Even something that happened took it for granted.

The child who died due to the "intermittent introduction" is the material needed for the sub-pick-up box.

A part of the child's body will be sealed in the sub-box, solidified as a curse.

Generally speaking, the fingers that lead the child's corpse will be sealed in the sub-take box, but Qiu Dao's family found this set, and what was put in it was written at the bottom of the box.

In addition, a single sub-box is used to put a child's organs, which is called a "letter".

Two children are "two letters", and according to the number of children, and so on can be "seven letters".

The higher the number, the stronger the curse effect.

However, the "Seven Seals" are not the limit, and the top curse masters can put eight children's body organs in a single sub-box, which is called "Eight Kai".

"Eight open" is the strongest sub-box, not only can instantly curse and kill women and children near the box, adult men and even other living creatures are the same, as long as they get close, they will be cursed.

"And how many boxes are there?" Luyeya was a little creepy when he heard this, but then he realized that something was wrong, "Master, you said that the sub-box is a single one, but this is a set?" ”

"Yes, a set. There are seventy-seven of them, corresponding to all the organs in the human body except the brain. I asked Jue to confirm that among the seventy-seven sub-boxes, there were two eight opens, four seven seals, six six seals, nine five seals, eleven four seals, thirteen three seals, fifteen two seals, and seventeen one seal. ”

Seventy-seven sub-boxes were taken, and each took a part of the human body organs, and joined them into a set.

It is estimated that the cursed master who made this set of boxes wanted to make a complete set himself, so he did not take his fingers, but used different body organs.

In the whole set of boxes, there are two of the strongest "eight opens" alone.

To make this set of curse boxes, there were as many as 255 children.

"Then when this box was first made...... "The fawn's pupils shook.

"Probably once it is sacrificed, it will be thousands of miles away." Kamiya shook his head, "I checked the information of Hakkoda and found it in the Ohatazawa area on the outskirts of Hakkoda Field, and there was originally a residential area near that in the old records, called Kobinzawa ......."

Xiao Binze probably means that the stream flows through the cedar forest, and it is named after it.

Today, however, the area no longer exists, and its name has been removed from the official records of Aomori Prefecture.

According to folklore, at the entrance to this bizarre disappearance area, there is a decaying torii gate, and a stone that looks like a skull, and the words "Those who enter from here cannot guarantee the safety of their lives" written on the side......

Kamiya took out his phone, flipped out an urban legend and handed it to Kanoya.

It is said that three young men and women got lost in the mountains of Aomori Prefecture by car. Deep in the mountains, I came across an old mottled torii gate, under which there were two large stones, one of which looked a bit like a skeleton.

The young man driving the car suddenly remembered the legend that the torii gate with its skull-shaped rock is the entrance to Kosugizawa.

Out of curiosity, two young men and a girl who accompanied them entered Kosugisawa to explore.

Walking a hundred meters along the torii gate, a clearing and four dilapidated houses appeared in front of the trio, and when they entered one of them, they found a large amount of brown dried blood on the wall.

The men suddenly felt a chill on their backs.

The girl also screamed: "Definitely not right here, it looks like someone is looking at us laughing!" ”

After the three of them rushed out of the house in panic, they felt extremely terrifying, as if they were surrounded by many "people". They rushed towards the car, but they couldn't get out of the cedar forest like a ghost.

Obviously, I only walked about 100 meters from the torii, so there was no reason why I would get lost.

Later, the girl, who was running slowly and had been separated from her male friends, found the car.

When she inserted the key and tried to start the car and call someone to help, it failed, and the car did not respond at all.

She was so anxious that she almost cried, and kept trying to start the car repeatedly, and at this moment-

Knock knock! Knock knock!

The sound of knocking on the glass came from the windshield, and she looked up to see that the windshield, the doors and windows around the car, and the red hands were beating indiscriminately trying to break through the windows......

"Hmm...... Master, I feel like this is more like a story I created. There is also the 'Last Girl' scene that is often found in horror stories. ”

Kanoya handed the phone back to Kamiyagawa.

This girl has broken through the same weird Matsuzawa Village alone, and she has just retired from the train, so her psychological quality is not weak.

Compared to this kind of urban legend story, it is still a real background for the production of sub-pick-up boxes, which can cause her mood swings more, but it is not that she is afraid, but more because of the production method of this evil cursed thing.

"The story does have traces of creation. But people will create horror stories based on Xiao Binze, which shows that the place itself is weird. I've checked the information in the countermeasure room, and Xiao Binze did really exist, and disappeared overnight a hundred years ago. It wasn't because of natural disasters, it wasn't wars or famines, it just disappeared so inexplicably, and after that there was no living thing to come out of that area, and even the soul exorcists of the time couldn't get close to it. Judging from the information in the countermeasures room alone, no one knows what happened in that area. ”

"In other words, Master, you suspect that this set is taking the box......"

"Well, maybe a hundred years ago, this set of box curses killed the living creatures of the entire Xiao Binze area, turning it into a dead place. As time passed, the curse sealed in this set of boxes slowly dissipated, the ability to kill disappeared, and the boxes also left Kobinze for some reason and appeared in other areas of Hakkoda . ”

"So who put the box in the Autumn Daoist? Someone wants to harm their family? ”

Kamiya shook his head: "I feel that the box is more like following the train. The maki-e on the sub-pick box is the same as the one on the train's plank car, and after the curse in this thing dissipated, it is likely that it was once possessed by the train, perhaps it was the spirit of the train ten years ago. Your friend drove the box, activated something, and completely summoned the current train. ”

"Oh...... So, Master, what are you going to do with this thing? ”

"For you to build a shrine for your mother."

"Huh?"

"This set of boxes has once sealed the most terrifying curse that can instantly obliterate the creatures of an area. Even if the curse inside has been invalidated for a long time, the box has been in contact with the curse for so long, and it is still a top-level curse container itself. After absorbing the Fang Xiang Mask, Prajna has the ability to curse. Jue has confirmed that this thing is suitable for splitting into core materials and building shrines for her. ”

"Is that so? But Master, why do I say so much? The fawn was confused, "I can't help build the shrine." ”

"Why not? Isn't this thing your trophy? ”

Yes.

Nominally, the train was retired by Kanoya.

This set of boxes used to belong to the train, and now it should belong to the fawn.

And although Kamiya took the first step to take the sub-box away to avoid the difference in the countermeasure room on Aomori's side, it ......

This is a temporary time for parents to take care of their children's belongings.
