Chapter 1205 Memories Of Summer (Part Eighteen)(Chapter Preview)



"Master told us ... He predicted that his fate was coming to an end, and his biggest regret in life was that he failed to destroy \'it\'.

"Although master sealed \'it\' on the spot back then, this kind of seal is very different from the original seal in the Mawang shrine ...

"The original seal was created by a great Onmyoji from ancient times. It\'s very stable and every year, the villagers would hold the three societies sacrificial ceremony to consolidate the magical power on it with the help of the power of the three bodhisattvas.

"However, master\'s seal is still far from that effect. He knows ... That the seal will be broken by \'it\' one day, and the people will be in great misery.

"Therefore, master entrusted the task of eliminating \'it\' to us, his disciples, before he passed away, hoping that we could work hard and completely destroy \'it\' one day.

When he said this, he shook his head and sighed."Sigh ... The day after I finished explaining all this, master passed away. I never would have thought that ... After his death, my senior brothers would start fighting for the position and legacy he left behind, not taking master\'s instructions to heart at all ..."

"But you\'re different, right?" Feng bujue added.

"Yes." Sugamoto nodded."After that, I prepared for two months and chose a sunny day ... And came to Chong Jiu primary school." He paused for a moment."That ... Happened to be summer six years ago. As the school had been abandoned for a long time, I was able to enter easily.

"I remember it very clearly ... On that Midsummer afternoon, when I walked into this school, all the hair on my body stood up. It\'s clear that even in a sealed state,\'it\' can still exert influence on the surrounding space. "

"Hold on ..." RUO Yu interrupted,"since \'it\' is so powerful that even nara at his peak couldn\'t destroy it, then you at that time ... Weren\'t you trying to hit a rock with an egg?"

"I didn\'t say that I was here to destroy it six years ago." Sugamoto replied,"I\'m just here to confirm how strong \'it\' is ... Only then can I know how far I have to cultivate before I can complete master\'s task."

"Oh ..." When Feng bujue heard that, he laughed easily."So, you chose a \'relatively safe\' time to come to Chong Jiu primary school and assumed that \'it\', who was in a sealed state, could not do anything to you. "Ha ... In the end, that reconnaissance mission ..." He said and tilted his head at Sugamoto,"...Caused you to end up in such a state."

"Sigh ..." When Sugamoto heard this, he let out another long sigh."Now that things have come to this, I no longer care about what kind of ending I will have ..." He said solemnly,"it\'s been six years. My body has undoubtedly rotted away, and my soul ... Has been trapped in this \'yang\' illusion, unable to enter Samsara."

"Why did \'it\' only trap you and not do anything else to you?" Feng bujue\'s tone when he asked this question was subtle, like he was saying,"why haven\'t you been beaten to a pulp yet?"

"Before today, I didn\'t know why, but ..." Sugamoto\'s expression changed slightly, and he replied,"just now, I understood." He looked at brother Jue and RUO Yu separately."At this moment, your four companions who are in the \'Yin\' illusion are slowly unsealing themselves under the guidance of a \'it\' who is pretending to be \'Shouta Sugamoto\'..."

"Oh ... I see," Hearing this urgent information, brother Jue was as calm as ever. He was not in a hurry to ask how to return to the illusion of \'Yin\'. Instead, he chose to figure out all the information that he could get."So, this means that \'it\' kept your soul to pretend to be you?"

"Yes, I am." Sugamoto replied,"the soul of an Onmyoji is different from an ordinary person \'s. If an ordinary person\'s soul can not enter the cycle of reincarnation, it will be lost, rot, die, and even turn into a demon ... But an Onmyoji will not\' lose \'no matter how long they die. Not only can our soul retain our memories, but our appearance will also not change much from when we are alive. And \'it\' took advantage of this ... By making use of the \'yang\' side of me and the \'Yin\' side of me to create a mirror image of a soul and possess it ... To trick your companions. "

"Hmm...I see." Feng bujue thought about it for a few seconds to organize his thoughts before adding,"by the way, there\'s one more thing that I\'m not sure of ... There were seven people who survived that year. And there are six of us here today, so ... Where did the class monitor, Watanabe, go?"

…………

At the same time, in the \'Yin illusion\'.

Xiao Tan\'s group of four followed \'Sugamoto\' back to the second floor and entered the headmaster\'s office.

"Brother Jue! Are you guys alright?" Once he entered, Xiao Tan rushed to the entrance of the wine cellar and yelled at the floor.

However ... No one responded to him.

"What\'s going on?" An Yueqin also walked over and read nervously,"did something happen to them?"

"Your companions ... Are no longer there." At that moment, Sugamoto suddenly spoke.

"You\'re saying ..." Xiao Gui looked at Sugamoto and said,"they\'ve already ..." He did not finish his sentence and waited for Sugamoto to continue.

At this point, ghost hunter was obviously careful. His "half-sentence" was a very good way to test him. From a player\'s point of view, he could confirm the survival status of his two teammates through the team bar, but NPCs and monsters did not know this. Therefore, if this self-proclaimed Onmyoji said that "it" had already killed the two, he was obviously lying.

At that moment, Xiao Tan, Xiao Ling, and an Yueqin all realized what ghost hunter meant, so they remained silent and waited ...

"I only know that their souls haven\'t been destroyed yet, and they\'re no longer in the wine cellar." There were no loopholes in Sugamoto\'s answer.

"Where did they go?" Xiao Ling asked.

"You\'re asking me, but who should I ask?" Sugamoto replied,"I can only sense that their souls are still in this space, but as for where they have been brought to ... Only \'it\' knows."

"Then how should we save them?" Xiao Tan pressed.

"There\'s no need for that. " Sugamoto replied coldly,"the six of you are already dead. There\'s no need to save you ... As long as \'it\' still exists, you and all the ghosts here can forget about leaving this space." He paused for a moment."The only way to get rid of this fate is to destroy \'it\'."

Before he finished, Xiao Tan suddenly said,""Eh? When did this drawer ..."

As Sugamoto was speaking, Xiao Tan\'s eyes had noticed something. When the players were walking down the stairs, the large drawer in the headmaster\'s office was still closed, but now ... The drawer had moved a little, as if it had been unlocked.

"Be careful ... It might be a trap." Ghost hunter became very cautious. For some reason ... After separating from brother Jue\'s group, ghost hunter had a very strange feeling ... This feeling repeatedly told him that he had to stay alert.

"Let me do it," At this moment, Sugamoto took two steps forward and said in a matter-of-fact tone,"you must protect yourselves well. To complete the final \'magical formation\', we need at least five people."

As he spoke, he had already opened the drawer.

The situation in the big drawer was the same as the two classrooms that the players had explored earlier. There were four items in total.

Let\'s talk about it one by one ...

First of all, it was a plot item that could be taken out of the scenario.

[Name: tassel belt]

[Type: Plot related]

[Rarity: normal]

Function: unknown

[Able to bring out of the scenario: yes]

[Remark: linen. The buckle is made of pure silver. The purple color and the length of the tassels are the highlights of the design.]

This was another item that could be worn, but like the other items, its use was unknown ...

Then, the second Kasaya.

[Name: \'its\' spleen]

[Type: Plot related]

[Rarity: normal]

[Function: can be embedded in \'its\' body.]

"Able to bring out of the scenario: no

"Remarks: a pocket-sized organ made of green jade. It exudes spiritual Qi."

Well ... I won\'t explain.

The third item was a piece of paper that looked like an unfinished letter. The handwriting of the letter showed that the person who wrote it was very nervous at the time, or his hand was shaking due to other physiological reasons. However, the contents of the paper were still distinguishable. "Mr. Sato, I don\'t know if your mental disorder is temporary or permanent. If it\'s forever, then this letter will be my confession to myself. However, if one day you can regain your senses and read this letter, I just want to say sorry to you. I\'m the cause of all this. I\'m not a competent principal, and I can\'t even be considered a decent man. After my wife died of illness, I tried to numb myself with alcohol, but I ended up getting into the bad habit of drinking. It\'s also this kind of bad practice that allowed me to get to where I am today. Suzuki, Noguchi, you ... I don\'t know how many more people will die because of this, but I can\'t hold on any longer. Please forgive me, everyone. Forgive me for using my death to escape responsibility, because,\'it\'..."

The message on the paper stopped there. There was no more content after the word "it"(the letter was also written in Japanese, so it was a word here instead of a word), and there was no punctuation or other trace.

Finally, the fourth item ... I\'m sure you can guess the [warehouse key].

…………

A few minutes later, the players and Sugamoto arrived at the corridor outside the headmaster\'s office.

Sugamoto did not take the two quest items. He handed them over to the players for safekeeping. However, he held onto the key, because ... He took the initiative to undertake the task of opening the door.

As mentioned before, the door of the warehouse was flat. Sugamoto inserted the key, turned it and pushed it, and the door opened.

Surprisingly, this room ... Had lights.

There was a light bulb hanging from the ceiling of the "warehouse", and this light bulb ... Was actually emitting a red light.

The light enveloped the space of less than 30 square meters in front of everyone, just like ... Fire.

Contrary to the name "warehouse", the room was empty. Not only was there no furniture or junk, there wasn\'t even a window. Other than the light bulb above, there was only a wall, and there was not even a light switch on the wall.

However, there were still some unusual things. For example ... The six walls of this warehouse were made of charred wood. In addition, there was an array drawn on the floor.

This formation was not the \'magic formation\' in the Western mythology, but something with Oriental characteristics.

On the whole, the magic circle was drawn with a red liquid, but whether it was blood, paint, or some other material ... It was hard to tell because the magic circle seemed to have been drawn a long time ago, and the liquid had dried up.

In the middle of the formation, in a circular area the size of a basin, a bunch of Japanese characters were written in a spiral from the inside out. The system did not translate them. Outside of the words, a perfect circle was drawn, and the circle extended into the horizontal and horizontal lines of the four gates and Eight Trigrams. In the areas divided by the lines, there were many spells written ... Of course, they were words that the players could not understand.

"This thing on the ground ... What\'s going on?" After seeing those things, ghost hunter was the first to ask.

"I drew this six years ago." Sugamoto continued,"Oh ... Right, you guys don\'t remember."

These two sentences seemed to have triggered something ... Then, Sugamoto, who had stepped into the door, began to narrate the plot.

And the story of this Sugamoto was a different version from the one that brother Jue and the others had encountered ...

"Six years ago, all of you returned to chongjiu elementary school at the invitation of class monitor Watanabe to attend the so-called class reunion.

"At that time, all of you naturally had no memories of the \' 520 tragedy\'...

"Because after that incident, the government forced the seven of you to be isolated and undergo so-called \'psychological treatment\'. A year later, when you returned to your parents "side, you had already lost that memory. "After that, your families have been arranged by the government to live far away. In your memory ... There is nothing unusual about your childhood memories. It is just that because the school will be closed, everyone transferred schools in the second grade.

"After that, all of you grew up on your own. When you were twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, all of you had left home to live on your own. Those around you who know that you are related to that incident also think that the nightmarish experience has long passed.

"No one would have thought ... That one summer, when all of you were \'coincidentally\' free, the class monitor in your memories ... Watanabe would send you an invitation to a class reunion.

"Perhaps it was fate or \'its\' arrangement ... The six of you gathered at the abandoned Chong Jiu elementary school on a dark day.

"That day ... Your class monitor didn\'t appear, because he was already controlled by \'it\'. The letter he sent out was to lure the six of you here ..."
