In the eyes of the children, Lilith is an absolute good person, because she not only gives them the comics she has read, but also shares small snacks with them from time to time.
Although she did this to keep the kids quiet, it actually garnered a genuine welcome, which left Lilith quite troubled and helpless.
What annoyed Lilith the most was a girl named Kugizaki. Other children could be appeased with comic books and snacks, but Kugizaki was different.
Perhaps it was because the town was far from the city, the townspeople were conservative and quite xenophobic, or perhaps it was because children of this age are naturally curious. In any case, Kugizaki always pestered Lilith to ask about the outside world.
What does Lilith know about the outside world? She lived on the mountain for over a thousand years and only came down eight years ago. Her understanding of the outside world is probably not even as good as Kugizaki's grandmother's.
After saying these words, Kugizaki looked on in disbelief, staring intently at Lilith:
"The adults all say you're a bad person, but I can sense that you're not. It's probably because the adults don't want us to associate with you that they say that."
Don't worry, I'm not a spy sent by the adults, I can assure you... Now, can you tell me about the outside world?
Listening to Kugizaki's jargon, which he seemed to have picked up from who-knows-where, Lilith covered her face, utterly helpless.
If she knew what the outside world was like, she would definitely tell Kugizaki about it, but she didn't. So, in order to get rid of Kugizaki, Lilith had no choice but to tell him about what she had seen and heard in the previous world.
Lilith rattled off stories like how monsters were invading the city and how superheroes were protecting humanity without batting an eye.
If an ordinary child heard this, they would just think, "Isn't this an Ultraman plot?" But Kugizaki learned the Spell of Spells from his grandmother since he was a child, so he knew about the existence of Spell Spirits and Spellcasters.
Upon hearing this, Kugizaki was overjoyed, and an extreme world where sorcerers and spirits were irreconcilable automatically appeared in his mind.
"So this is what the outside world is like? Wow!"
Kugizaki cheered. In this town full of ordinary people, as a sorcerer, she had to hide her abilities every day. At first, it was fine, but as time went on, she always felt that she didn't belong here.
Now this idea has finally been verified, and Lilith, who can say these things, is undoubtedly one of her kind. Even though she didn't sense any magical power from Lilith, she still spoke with a tone of empathy:
"You must have been suffering from this pretense all these years. Don't worry, from now on you're not alone anymore. You can tell me anything that's bothering you, and I'll keep it a secret!"
Seeing Kugizaki acting like a little adult, Lilith's lips twitched. She had no idea what Kugizaki was imagining, but in order to read the manga in peace, she went along with Kugizaki and started to fool her...
In the same year, in Miyagi Prefecture, a girl named Rika Kimoto gave her childhood friend Yuta Otokotsu a ring and made a marriage vow on his birthday. This innocent and pure feeling should have lasted until the two grew up, but accidents always happen unexpectedly.
As dusk fell, the two were walking home on the sidewalk when a car ran a red light without noticing them. The next second, there was a loud bang, blood, and screams.
The driver, pale-faced, got out of the car. Looking at the boy lying in a pool of blood, he collapsed to the ground, muttering things like "It's all over."
Rika stared blankly at Otsukoshi, who was gradually losing his vital signs. The vow they had made to stay together for life not long ago had left her in a daze. She took two steps forward, wanting to reach out and grab the shy boy, but what she faced was the thick smell of blood and the completely lifeless Otsukoshi Yuta.
"........."
Rika lowered her head slightly, subconsciously pursing her lips, even her breathing became soft. Right now, besides marrying Yuuta when she grew up, only one thought remained in her mind:
"Yuta, don't die..."
Perhaps because the girl's obsession was too strong, a twisted figure gradually crawled out from the corpse of Yi Gu, huge and deformed but not bloated.
To put it simply, it is a monster with no fat on its body and clearly visible muscle outlines. The monster has a head that blooms like a chrysanthemum, with a hideous mouth full of serrated teeth.
For some reason, Rika didn't feel any fear after seeing the monster; she even found a sense of familiarity in it.
"Youta?"
Rika tried calling out, and the monster froze. Then, as if it understood her, the ring of eyes around its chrysanthemum-shaped face all stared at her, and it let out a piercing sound:
"Li Xiang..."
It turns out that Yigu, as a descendant of the Guanyuan family, was born with extremely large magical power. Furthermore, if a sorcerer with magical power is killed by an ordinary person, his soul cannot dissipate and will be cursed and twisted into a cursed spirit.
Logically speaking, since Yigu Yuta had not yet awakened his spell, he could not become a decent cursed spirit even if he was killed. However, if a sorcerer were standing here, they would be surprised to find that the cursed spirit Yigu was actually radiating a genuine top-tier aura!
It was because Otsuko's obsession with Rika was too strong before he died. Not long ago, he was celebrating Rika's birthday, accepting Rika's engagement ring, and promising to marry Rika when he grew up.
But now, all of that is impossible, because he is dead, killed by an ordinary person who ran a red light, and died right before Qi Benlixiang's eyes.
Even before he died, he saw Rika's smile, still full of hope for the future.
Intense resentment and hatred, coupled with Yi Gu's innate immense magical power, caused him to transform into a terrifying top-tier magical spirit after his death.
At this moment, the cursed spirit Yigu suddenly approached Rika. With each movement, a grinding sound of bones rubbing together could be heard. When it reached Rika, its huge body almost completely covered her.
Generally speaking, ordinary people can only see the cursed spirit when they are about to die, because the cursed spirit Yigu's obsession is too deep, causing passersby to see a huge shadow looming over Rika.
They gasped in surprise and took out their phones to take pictures, but the screens were empty.
Just as the cursed spirit Yigu was about to lose control and go on a killing spree, Rika showed no fear in the face of the now ugly Yigu, and instead hugged it directly.
The surprise on her face had turned into joy. She squinted her eyes and said with relief:
"Now you're mine alone, Yuuta~"
Chapter 112: Rika the Curse Master
As we all know, apart from sorcerers, ordinary people are born with a small amount of magical power. This magical power is not enough for ordinary people to see magical spirits, nor is it enough for ordinary people to awaken and acquire magical techniques.
However, under special circumstances, such as when an intense negative emotion arises in an instant, the potential of the spell can be triggered, allowing an ordinary person to become a spellcaster in an instant.
But Rika's situation is even rarer. She made a vow to "stay together for life" with the cursed spirit Otsu. Under the influence of the bondage, Rika's potential was stimulated, and she awakened the Life-Giving Technique.
Rika's life-giving technique is very special, almost constantly consuming her curse power, while the curse spirit Yigu's vast reserve of curse power just makes up for this.
She understood what this power symbolized, so under normal circumstances, she wouldn't allow the Cursed Spirit Bone to act freely or use life-giving spells, unless...
"Sorry, Rika, I didn't understand the teacher's lesson. Could I borrow your notes?"
The speaker was a chubby boy wearing glasses. He stood timidly in front of Rika's desk and spoke shyly.
In this class, Rika is a recognized excellent student in both character and academics. Her outstanding appearance always attracts the attention of the male students, and this time is no exception.
To maintain her public image, Rika naturally agreed to the male classmate's request without hesitation, smiling as she did so.
"Of course, here you go."
Rika picked up her notebook, and when the male classmate reached out, he accidentally touched Rika's fingers. He quickly thanked him, but didn't see that Rika's expression was extremely unpleasant.
During her break, Rika rushed into the toilet with a dark expression, and under the strange gazes of her classmates, she repeatedly washed the places that the male classmate had touched with water.
Thinking back to that chubby face, Rika gritted her teeth:
[How disgusting...all the guys except Yuta...how disgusting]
She scrubbed her hands harder and harder until the backs of her hands turned red, and only returned to the classroom when the bell rang, silently sitting back in her seat.
The male classmate who borrowed her notes noticed that she was unhappy and asked her with concern, but only received the reply "It's nothing." The male classmate didn't think too much about it.
When school was over, the boy waited at the traffic light on his way home as usual. It was just an ordinary day, and he would go home as usual and tell his mother about what happened at school.
Strangely, he suddenly felt something push him, and he accidentally fell into the traffic. The next second, there was a "thud" of collision, blood, and the loss of another life.
While everyone else panicked, Rika, carrying her schoolbag, calmly waited for the traffic light.
When the traffic light turned green, she ignored the commotion and crossed the pedestrian crossing, even though this wasn't the way home for her...
Rika's affection for Yuta Otsukoshi has reached an extreme level, to the point that she has a physiological aversion to all men except Yuta Otsukoshi, and to all women who try to get close to him.
Since Otsukoshi's death, Rika has practically taken over Otsukoshi Yuta. She could have lived a happy life, but she awakened a spell called [Fallen Love].
This technique is passively activated when there is sufficient magical power. Its effect is that regardless of gender, the longer one spends with Rika, the more likely one will fall in love with her.
This kind of love is incredibly obsessive, so obsessive that he doesn't want anyone to get close to Rika, and he even has thoughts of "killing her and eating her" in order to possess her.
If Rika is killed by her admirer, she will be given a chance to be resurrected without any side effects. After being resurrected, her magical power reserves and knowledge of spells will be further improved.
From the moment she gained her abilities, Rika understood that since the world had the ability to revive the dead and magic, there must be many people like her. In order to protect the cursed spirit Otsuku, Rika decided to use her abilities to become strong enough.
But she couldn’t accept any men except for those with the sacrum, so she turned her attention to women.
Rika is well aware of her physical advantages. Under the effect of the [Falling in Love] technique, she only needs to target women who are in a low mood, and with just a glance, she can make them feel extremely fond of her.
What followed were several purposeful chance encounters that led the target to develop an obsessive and extreme infatuation. In the end, in order to completely possess Rika, the target lured Rika into his home and strangled her.
She thought that this would allow her to be with Rika forever, but the day after she disposed of the body, she found Rika again at the place where the two had first met.
It was still an unintentional glance, but it didn't rekindle his affection; instead, it instilled a deep-seated fear in him.
The woman screamed on the spot and ran away from Rika like a madwoman. The scene caused passersby to make way for her, thinking she was a lunatic who had escaped from a mental hospital.
Rika saw all of this from the crowd. Her eyes were curved, and no matter how you looked at it, it seemed like she was wearing a faint smile. But in reality, it was just a deliberate disguise.
[So it turns out you can't use your ability on the same person repeatedly? What a pity...]
Rika sighed inwardly, but she wasn't going to let the woman go so easily. If she let the woman leave, news of her unusual behavior would spread.
Even though no one would believe such an outrageous thing, Rika still called out softly for the sake of a peaceful life with Yuuta Otsukoshi:
"Youta?"
As soon as he said that, the temperature of the surrounding air dropped several degrees, and the passersby shivered, assuming it was just because the weather had turned cold.
In Rika's vision, a pale, emaciated, and twisted figure appeared beside her. Its chrysanthemum-shaped head was closed, and its eyeballs stared at Rika, emitting a sharp sound:
"Li Xiang..."
Faced with such a monster, Rika revealed an extremely gentle smile. She did nothing unnecessary, only saying:
"Yuta, do you still remember our promise?"
Upon hearing this, the cursed spirit Yigu was taken aback, seemingly not understanding the meaning of the words.
Rika then continued:
"We can't let her live."
The sentence was simple and clear. Upon receiving the command, the cursed spirit Yigu cried out and immediately rushed towards the woman who was running away in terror.
To outsiders, it was just a sudden gust of wind that caused the woman who had gone mad and was running away to fall into the sewer and be smashed to pieces.
When the woman's body was brought up by the rescue team, its mangled appearance made even the experienced forensic doctor frown. Years of experience told him that such a death was not a simple fall; the deceased was already dead before falling into the sewer.
This is a special event that they cannot handle.
As a result, this matter naturally came into the view of the sorcery community. After on-site assessment, since there were not many traces of sorcery left behind, it was only classified as a level three curse.
By the time the level three sorcerer went to the vicinity to search for and exorcise the cursed spirit, the faint fluctuation of cursed power had completely disappeared. Rika knew her abilities were far too powerful; if she stayed in one place, it was only a matter of time before she was discovered…
Chapter 113: Rika's Identity Exposed
In 2017, six years had passed since Yigu became a cursed spirit. Rika was sixteen years old and her appearance was even more refined than when she was young. Even without the spell [Falling in Love], she was still stunning at first glance.
Over the years, Rika has killed hundreds of people, most of whom were killed because they were affected by her magic and lost their usefulness after the ritual was completed.
