Chapter 198: The curse is high, IF Extra: Leader Jie will also develop...
*Player Name: Fushimi Kyoki
*Current week: Week 1
*Faction: None
Under the background setting of the power system of [curse power], it is further divided into several categories: sorcerers, cursers, and cursers.
The player's random identity is... uh, an ordinary person.
Player: Oo?
The good news is that the randomly obtained identity will not have a rigid impact on the subsequent triggering of the plot of the conquerable character.
There are only slight differences in the way they are unfolded.
If the player initially draws [Spellcaster], he will probably be invited to attend a school specializing in spellcasters.
——The player thought so when he was attacked by an invisible entity and the sorcerer who fell from the sky carried the player away from the center of the explosion.
"Huh, you're not too late!" The young man with striking white hair said in a cheerful tone.
The player was very close to him, and perhaps because he felt she would be in the way, he roughly pressed the player's head into his arms, with her face pressed tightly against his clothes. He could even clearly feel the vibrations in her chest when she spoke.
The sorcerer who rescued the player from the explosion jumped down from the rooftop while holding the player in his arms. He landed smoothly without feeling any bumps and waved leisurely to his companions behind him.
"I'll leave the rest to you, Jay."
As the smoke from the explosion cleared, the figure standing on the rooftop gradually became clearer: "Don't throw everything to me."
Despite saying this, the other party still worked tirelessly to deal with the "trouble" left to him by his peers.
The player wanted to see more clearly, but a white head suddenly appeared in his field of vision, blocking his view of the rooftop in the distance.
"Don't worry, Jie," he reassured the player with a smile. "If you can't even handle a cursed spirit of that level, you might as well just find a piece of tofu and die."
"Now let's talk about you!"
Ugh…
Although it was the first time they met, it did not prevent the player from confirming that the other person's personality was definitely not one that was easy to get along with.
"Eh... that, what do you mean by cursed spirit?" The player noticed that the word mentioned by the other party was mentioned in the introduction of the dungeon background.
"Ah, um..." He made a few meaningless noises with a bright smile on his face, "It's a curse!"
The white-haired young man, who he instinctively thought was difficult to deal with, approached the player without a care in the world, almost nose to nose. "You're lucky, you didn't get cursed and were swallowed directly."
"Tell me! You can't see that thing, right?"
Unaccustomed to the other party's excessive enthusiasm, the player unconsciously held his breath and leaned back silently: "I can't see it."
“But I can feel it.”
To be more precise, it is [Perception] that reminds the player.
But obviously the other party cannot accept it.
"What kind of statement is that!"
After a brief self-introduction, the player learned that the white-haired sorcerer was called Gojo Satoru, and the one who was left alone to deal with the curse was his classmate.
"Maybe Fushimi has the talent to become a sorcerer." After learning the player's name, Geto Suguru suggested the possibility.
"Impossible, he looks like an ordinary person no matter how you look at him."
——The next second, Gojo Satoru, who had no idea what euphemism was, denied it.
"If you encounter a curse again in the future, you can contact us through this number." Before resolving the crisis and preparing to leave, Geto Suguru left the contact information of the auxiliary supervisor.
"You seem to have an inexplicable attraction to cursed spirits."
Player: "I will."
Gojo Satoru walked a distance away and raised his hand symbolically: "It would be best if I don't have to see you again."
It took the player a few seconds to realize that this might not be a taunt, but a kind wish.
Giving up on the path of a sorcerer, the player who initially owned a flower shop resolutely embarked on a more ordinary person's identity...simulated business.
Curse spirits are born from negative emotions. Ordinary people will experience fatigue, irritability, negativity, and other reactions after being exposed to them for a long time.
Players need to contact the sorcerer from time to time to clear the debuffs on their bodies.
In most cases, the sorcerer who comes will be Geto Suguru.
Players will occasionally see Gojo Satoru, but he will usually leave quickly.
——There are also other unfamiliar sorcerers who help players to exorcise the curse that has grown in the store. The two that left the deepest impression on players are the cool blond guy and the girl with puppy eyes and a girly hairstyle.
The beautiful fantasy of increasing contact with the handsome sorcerer by exorcising the cursed spirit and establishing a love relationship cannot be realized yet, as a more serious crisis lies before the player.
With the players' careful management, the flower shop's income and expenditure cannot be said to be booming, but it is also a bit insufficient to make ends meet.
The balance of income and expenditure is different from what players expected.
"Although we have been trying hard to attract customers, business has been slow." The player said solemnly while chatting with Geto Suguru.
Geto Xia Yu looked around the store, a thoughtful look on his face. "Have you figured out what the reason is?"
"Oh! There's a guest outside the door. This time it will definitely succeed!"
The player rushed out of the store holding a rose: "Uncle, buy a flower for Grandpa!"
Geto Suguru: ...
He thought he had found the reason.
The player who failed in the sales pitch put the flower into the pocket of Geto Suguru's uniform, and the other party was surprised: "For me?"
The player looked at it carefully and nodded repeatedly.
Although I didn’t make any money...at least it was pleasing to the eyes!
"...Thank you." As Geto lowered his head, the petals brushed against his lips, and the tingling sensation made his expression suddenly soften. "I will cherish it."
There's no need to be so serious...
The exorcism is over (to the player it just seems like a wave of the hand) and Geto Suguru stands still, without any other movement for a while.
"Did something fall behind?" In the player's impression, the number of tasks the other party was responsible for was basically the same as Gojo Satoru, so he should not have much free time.
Xia Yujie held the phone, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and curved into a gentle arc. "Make sure you can contact me as quickly as possible in case of an emergency. Keep in touch, okay?"
The player saved his number in his mobile phone under Geto's nose and secretly decided never to call him.
He is gentle and polite to others, and knows when to act or when to retreat, which makes it easy for people to overlook the slight aloofness in his character.
Hey!
One of the unspoken social rules is: Don't take the polite words of friends you don't know seriously.
Players totally get it!
——Another reason.
Players have discovered that no matter how high the negative status stacks up, it will not affect the progress of the game.
At best, seeing curses of varying sizes hanging on someone's body is quite demeaning—and the players can't see the curse spirits.
As for the number stored in the mobile phone, the player did not dial it and it never rang on its own.
The player who was planning to open a flower shop from Tokyo to Shibuya later received a call from Gojo Satoru.
If the player hadn't asked proactively, Gojo Satoru might have remained silent.
"What's up?"
Geto Suguru defected.
The player's expression froze, and he lowered his voice to confirm, "Mr. Geta is a secret agent sent to Japan by another country?"
"...It's defection, not treason." Some words touched Gojo Satoru's heart, and the players were forced to listen to his intermittent laughter, and the faintly frozen atmosphere disappeared.
After he had laughed enough, he told the players that Geto Suguru had a disagreement with the high school's philosophy and chose to defect.
"Although I'm not sure about your relationship..." Gojo Satoru's voice, which was not deliberately funny, became deeper, revealing a hint of solemnity, "But..."
"Next time you see Jay, just run away."
He seemed to have a lot of other things to do and quickly hung up.
...Not even buying a bouquet of flowers or anything.
Fortunately, through the unremitting efforts of the players, the flower shop has gained a stable customer base.
Players sort through the packaged bouquets and pick up their orders.
The place where it needs to be delivered seems to be...Panxing Sect?
The believer who ordered the flowers specifically asked if they could be delivered to his door. After receiving the player's affirmative answer, a smile appeared on his face: "Delivery to your door, that couldn't be better."
When she arrived at the appointed location with the wrapped bouquet, the door behind the player closed with a snap, and she was completely locked in the hall.
The founder sitting in the main seat looked down with his eyes downcast, closed casually, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, looking like a Buddha statue without any sadness or joy.
"Why have you never contacted me, not even once?"
The young man, wearing a five-striped cassock and with his medium-length hair half-covered, sat casually, one hand resting on his face, looking at the player who had "fallen into the trap" with a leisurely and calm attitude.
He sighed half-heartedly, "Did Wu tell you something? Hmm...it seems not.
"Or did you sense danger?"
There's really no solution to the problem of biological warnings of danger...
Also very... alert.
"come over."
Geto Suguru chuckled nonchalantly, then waved to the players with a friendly and natural attitude, as if he was not the infamous curse master.
Seeing that the player didn't move, he sighed and said with full patience: "Come here, come to my side."
From the perspective of the sorcerer, the player is completely wrapped in a curse.
Because they are ordinary people, they cannot sense the existence of the curse spirit. Even if they will be swallowed by the curse in the next second, they can still live unconsciously.
While I was jealous of the other person who was completely unaware of what was happening to me, another unfamiliar feeling of satisfaction filled my heart.
With a slight movement of his fingers, the subdued cursed spirits were retrieved one by one in an orderly manner.
The horrible curse receded like the tide, revealing the player's face again.
Poor, slow-witted child who couldn't survive without him...
He almost had a loving heart and used the most familiar gentle mask to coax the ignorant bird into landing in the seemingly safe nest.
"I won't hurt you. Just stand next to me."
