Chapter 152 The Second Player
Go back and ask Teacher Yemo how they are doing.
But no matter what this thing is, it is not edible.
After a few breaths, the greedy desire of the "greedy creature" was slightly suppressed, and Xi Haiqingdou regained his rationality completely, but he still licked his lips subconsciously.
I want to eat it, but I know I can't just eat it casually. This cursed item must be very special... Saikai Haruto has a hunch that maybe it will appear in comics and forums.
Although its IQ is a bit low, no matter what, "Greedy Beast" is still an SSR, a special-grade cursed spirit with super strength, especially the intuition of "baby" is also the most sensitive.
There are not many people in this world who are considered dangerous and fearful even by "greedy beasts". Saikai Haruto only encountered one Gojo Satoru.
As for Fushiguro Makoto... Although Fushiguro Makoto is also very strong, and even his "Heaven and Curse Bond" is a little stronger than Igarashi Yuki, but "curse" can only be fought with "curse". Unless he has cursed tools, otherwise, for him who has no cursed power, fighting cursed spirits is like using math formulas to solve a Chinese problem, which is completely useless. Dangerous as it is, but the "greedy beast" naturally has no good feelings towards Fushiguro Makoto.
For such a special cursed object, Xi Haiqing Dou didn't believe that it would not appear in the comics, even if it was just as a background board.
By then, we will probably be able to figure out what this thing is.
After a flash of thought in his mind, Xihai Qingdou calmed down, but his face showed a bit of thoughtfulness and confusion. He sniffed, then clenched the spell in his hand, tossed it back and forth in the air twice, then put away the dry finger that was tightly wrapped by the talisman again, and replaced it with a first-level spell in the place where this special-level spell was originally placed.
Fushiguro Megumi looked curious: "What is this?"
Although Fushiguro Megumi is young, he is surprisingly brave. It is not the first time that he has seen Saikai Haru fight to exorcise the cursed spirit. In other words, he has seen all the scenes of Geto Suguru, Gojo Satoru and Saikai Haru fighting to exorcise the cursed spirit during that week.
Gojo Satoru didn't have any idea about whether letting a child see a cursed spirit would leave a psychological shadow on them. Geto Suguru and Haruto Saikai were a little concerned at first, but when they saw that Megumi Fushiguro himself was not afraid, they quickly put it out of their minds and enthusiastically took Megumi Fushiguro along.
However, this was the first time that Megumi Fushiguro had seen something called a "cursed object".
The aura of the "curse" could not be concealed even if it was wrapped in a talisman, causing Fushiguro Megumi to frown.
Judging from her intuition, little Fushiguro Megumi knew that this was definitely not a good thing.
“Hmm…”
Xi Haiqing Dou thought for a moment: "Mummy's finger!"
He answered with a determined look on his face.
Cursed objects are mostly made from the remains of the sorcerer after his death, and this finger is no exception.
The corpse can be transformed into a special cursed object. The owner of the cursed object must have been dead for a thousand and eight hundred years. Although this finger is a bit dry, it has not rotted and turned into bones. If this is not a mummy's finger, what else could it be?
"Mummy? What's that?"
The emerald green eyes of the uninformed little girl Fushiguro were filled with curiosity, but her brows were still furrowed as she said worriedly, "It looks like... it's very evil."
"These are the fingers of a mummy. They are covered with curses. They must be very evil things. That's why I have to come and take them away. I can't keep them here any longer."
Xi Hai Qing Dou put it away and said with a smile: "Oh, by the way, you can't eat this thing, Xiao Hui, don't treat it as food."
“I don’t want to eat this.”
Fushiguro Megumi looked disgusted and said, "I'm not some idiot. It's obvious that this thing can't be eaten... Is there really anyone who wants to eat this?"
"Can't I eat it just by looking at it?"
Xi Hai Qing Dou seemed to be stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and said nonchalantly: "Xiao Hui, you are right, how could anyone eat this? I am overthinking it."
"I have finished my work, let's go, I will take you to find your father."
Xi Haiqing Dou didn't continue talking about this topic anymore. He picked up Yuhei and started walking towards the horse racing venue.
When the two of them found Fushiguro Shinji, he was sitting in the audience, staring intently at the athletes on the track, paying no attention to the outside world at all, let alone noticing their movements in exorcising cursed spirits on the other side. He even turned a blind eye to the special cursed item that Saikai Haruto took away.
I don’t know if he really doesn’t know, or if he doesn’t care about these things at all?
For some reason, Xi Hai Qing Dou was more inclined towards the second option.
Horse racing usually lasts for half an hour, but if it's just horse racing, Xi Haiqingdou went forward to take a look at the race on the field, and it seemed to have just begun.
Saikai Haruto didn't pay much attention to the game, but waved at Fushiguro Shin'er: "Mr. Fushiguro? Mr. Fushiguro - do you want to continue watching the game here with Xiaohui?"
"Tsk, kid, don't mess around here." Fushiguro Shinji finally looked up at Saikai Haruto and gave him a look with a rather impatient tone: "Didn't I tell you that I'm leaving him to you, you can take him wherever you want?"
The implication is, why are they still standing here?
To be honest, Fushiguro Shige had not originally intended to take Fushiguro Megumi out with him. Who had made his former sponsor break up with him yesterday? Anyway, due to an unexpected incident, and because of no other choice, he still had to bring Fushiguro Megumi with him these few days - it was really troublesome.
Unexpectedly, he met Saikai Haruto again. Of course, he chose to immediately throw Fushiguro Megumi to him as a "sucker" without any burden - yes, in the eyes of Fushiguro Shinobu, Saikai Haruto, who took care of Fushiguro Megumi for free and without any complaints, was no different from a sucker.
Although I don't know how he developed such a boring and somewhat disgusting personality, this personality also has its advantages for him, otherwise he wouldn't have just thrown Fushiguro Megumi to him so casually, and Fushiguro would have been too lazy to say anything.
But it's okay to just throw Fushiguro Megumi to him, and have a "close friendship" with him... No, let alone a close friendship, there's no need for even a superficial relationship.
Saikai Haruto just pretended that he couldn't understand what he was thinking at all.
"Mr. Fushiguro, are you still busy these days?" Saikai Haruto asked thoughtfully, "Then, how many days will it take this time?"
Fushiguro Shinji looked at him strangely - is this guy really used to being taken advantage of? Is he rushing to raise a child for him?
Someone took the initiative to help him take care of his little problem. Fushiguro Shiji felt a little better and was happy to perfunctorily answer him nonchalantly: "I can't say how long it will take. It could be three to five days, ten days or half a month... Ah, anyway, if I leave it to you, there won't be any problems, right? Anyway, I think this kid is more willing to follow you now. I'll contact you then... Okay, don't disturb me from watching the game now."
"By the way, Mr. Fushiguro, is it really okay for you to just leave Xiaohui to me? Aren't you afraid that I will do something bad to Xiaohui?"
Saikai Haruto blinked and said, "You sound like an irresponsible father, Mr. Fushiguro."
"Huh? Isn't this kid fine? Not a single hair has fallen out?"
Fushiguro Shier scratched his ears and said indifferently: "The rest doesn't matter, right?"
As for Saikai Haruto's words that he was irresponsible, Fushiguro Jiner just pretended that the wind was too strong and he didn't hear it.
In the end, Saikai Haruto finally brought Fushiguro Megumi back.
But before leaving, Saikai Haruto hesitated, looked at the lottery ticket in Fushiguro Shige's hand, and said, "Although, I prefer No. 8. I feel that No. 8 may have the qualities of a champion. No. 1 also looks good. As for No. 4...it might be an upset."
"Then Mr. Fushiguro, I'll be leaving first. Goodbye."
After saying that, Xi Hai Qing Dou didn't even wait for the end of the game, and turned around and left without staying for long.
On the field, No. 1 and No. 13 are currently leading, sticking to each other, No. 4 is following closely behind, and No. 8 is currently in sixth place, nipping at the front of the second row.
The game has entered the middle stage and will end in less than a few minutes. No matter how you look at it, No. 8 does not look like he can win the championship.
Fushiguro Shier glanced at the lottery tickets in his hand - he bought two tickets, one single win, which was the number 4 he bet on, and one consecutive win, which chose numbers 13 and 4.
"A kid who hasn't even fully grown his hair yet is actually learning to watch horse racing?"
Fushiguro Shigeki sneered and continued to watch the competition area. He didn't take Saikai Haruto's words seriously - what a joke, he has been betting on horses for several years, how could he believe the words of a little brat who hasn't even grown all his hair?
He also had a hunch - this time No. 4 would definitely take the lead and win the championship directly!
——Until two minutes later.
The game is over.
Fushiguro Shijiro looked at the result on the field and almost questioned his life.
“…Is this true?”
The game was almost over, and No. 8 suddenly started to speed up, quickly overtaking the players in front of him, and finally completed a one-on-five victory? ?
Number 1 has been very stable, steadily moving from first place to second place.
However, No. 4 was unable to keep up with the pace at the last turn, and unexpectedly was left behind in seventh place, not to mention first and second place? ? ?
"Damn, that little brat actually came true?"
Shit, he suffered a huge loss!
