You say this is a love game?

That soul did not take away Soichiro's soul, which he should have taken away.

The Hiiragihara family has been passed down for more than 800 years, and there are many secrets in the family that are not passed on to outsiders. Even if you can take away the head of the family's body, you will not know where he will go after his death.

This was originally a contract.

As the current head of the Hiiragihara family, Soichiro's soul will either be swept away by the curse in his blood and go to the afterlife, or remain in this world and fall into the deepest part of the spiritual vein.

He was floating in that recurring dream.

Until that moment four years later, deep in the spiritual vein, the corpse of the dead beast trembled, and the tremor awakened the soul of the last head of the family, and the long dream finally came to an end.

"You're in such a mess."

"Everything you held dear is gone."

"Your beloved wife has been someone else's bedfellow for four years. Your son will be murdered tonight. Your daughter will have her surname removed tonight and be taken into the family of her father's murderer, bearing the name 'Yajima'. Your family will also be wiped out. After tonight, the Hiiragihara family will be exterminated... All of this stems from your trust in him."

"Anu..."

The soul looked down from above.

Looking down at the pale face, as vague as smoke, and the soul that seemed about to shatter at any moment.

"Hahahaha, this is simply punishment, the punishment your ancestors should have received eight hundred years ago... You created the Nue for the prosperity of your family. Even if you kill the Nue in the end, you will be trapped in the Nue's curse for the rest of your life... Now retribution has come, and your destruction is coming too!"

But what is the meaning of this destruction?

The Hiiragihara family back then had already been completely destroyed.

The Hiiragihara family has now atoned for its sins for eight hundred years.

The eight hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and all the resentment had melted away, leaving only the last head of the Hiiragihara family and the last ghost who seemed still unwilling to let go.

"Poor homeless creature! I will show my mercy to you!"

"If you had knelt on the ground and begged me, your children might still have a chance of being saved... My hatred still counts. I will do everything in my power to sweep them away and get them to escape from this Night Light City that is about to become a ghost den."

That soul conveyed to Soichiro everything he had seen during the past four years.

hurry up.

You idiot.

Please ask me to send your annoying children away.

Don’t you want to see them happy the most?

Isn't it for the sake of family and children that one can die bravely?

Then kneel down and kowtow to me and beg me. My hatred for the Hiiragihara family still counts, and I am still the sword of heavenly punishment hanging over your heads. Before Yajimazu achieves his goal, I still have the ability... to do this last thing for you.

"wrong……"

The man trembled and shook his head.

“They’re going to die…”

The soul said proudly: "Yes, your family members are going to die."

"No, there are more people..."

The last patriarch closed his eyes in pain.

"..."

"What else do you want to do?"

"What else can you do?"

Even with the memories he gave to Soichiro, what can this remnant soul stop?

He definitely couldn't survive the Yajima family's barrier since he didn't even have a physical body.

He just watched.

Looking at Soichiro Hiiragihara kneeling on the ground, he stopped the sad girl as if he was grabbing the last straw.

"Please take this paperweight with you... Even if it means death, please bring it to school."

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Hanako Koizumi.

"Are you crazy? You want her to die?!"

The soul became furious.

"Even if she could get around it, what do you think she would have to face? Even if she could get in, what would she have to face? She would die, and die miserably. Even if she could stop it, Yashimazu would definitely skin her alive and tear her into pieces."

"Call her back!"

"Don't you want your children anymore?"

"Tonight, more people's sons and daughters will die."

"Sacrifice one person for the people of a city?"

The soul is lost.

"What's the difference between you and them? You made a mistake, Soichiro..."

"Soichiro, you can't make mistakes."

"Look, tonight, there's a life that should have lived, but she will die because of you... You knew exactly what she was about to face and how tragic the ending would be, yet you still let her go."

"You are clearly deceiving her into death."

He was angry and he was depressed.

Then, the soul finally revealed a lonely look, and looking at the head of the Hiiragihara family who was kneeling on the ground crying and shaking his head, he lowered his sad eyes.

What's wrong with being a good person?

I believe that with my best friend since childhood, what went wrong?

If all the links are correct, then where does the error come from?

"Get up now."

He whispered.

"Soichiro Hiiragihara, I don't care what your reasons are, but if you make a mistake, I will curse you."

"By the contract we have engraved deep in our blood, I will curse you...curse your life, and curse everything you hold dear."

"Let me kill 'Soichiro Hiiragihara'!"

Deep in the spiritual vein, resentment is condensing.

That soul used an ancient contract to awaken the resentment and curse hidden in the blood of the Hiiragihara family. When all other souls passed away, he was the only one who could awaken this contract and control this curse.

That soul will exercise the power given to him by the old Yin-Yang master.

This is also the first time in eight hundred years that the dead souls have punished the "Hiiragihara family".

The last head of the Hiiragihara family.

He gave up his beloved family and children.

He gave up the kindness, justice and compassion that he had always upheld.

He self-righteously chose "righteousness".

His so-called righteousness was to deceive an innocent girl and push her to death.

No matter how many people his decision saves, the sin he committed at the moment he sacrificed the girl will not change.

Even if he knelt on the ground and kowtowed with tears in his eyes, he could not make any amends for this.

"So, I'm here to kill you."

"Soichiro."

The huge shadow of the bird demon soared into the sky.

Just like the Nue crashed into the glorious Hiiragihara family eight hundred years ago, the dead souls eight hundred years later also crashed into the other side of the city, the high wall built by the Onmyojis, in the form of the huge Nue's phantom.

That soul will make a way for the girl who is doomed to die.

And he will complete the final... revenge of the dead souls on the Hiiragihara family.

……

……

The chaos that night a hundred years ago caused all links to be delayed.

Seventy percent of the Onmyoji of the Yajima family were killed at once.

Of the three powerful ancestral Shikigami, two were ripped apart, leaving only the middle-level Shadow Girl, who was severely injured and barely surviving. Over a dozen family Shikigami of equal rank were killed by the Nue Shadow that descended from the sky, with two-thirds of them being killed. The smaller Shikigami of the Paper rank suffered a devastating blow.

The "solar eclipse" that was supposed to go smoothly did not succeed.

Even the destruction of the Hiiragihara family was postponed until the following year.

It was not until the night when the private Hiiragigaoka Academy was burned down that the Yajima family launched a brutal attack on the Hiiragihara family, which had controlled the family for nearly five years. Hiiragihara Kei was beheaded that night, and Hiiragihara Takashi was taken into the Yajima family, renamed Yajima Takashi, and deceived into marrying an internal heir of the Yajima family as a "survivor of the Hiiragihara family." However, he died of depression a few years later.

The children born still have the surname "Yajima".

It was not until the generation nearly a hundred years later that the heir of the Hiiragihara family eloped with someone in pursuit of "love".

"If we elope, we elope."

"Pursuing love is a right that young people should have. Why make things difficult for them?"

There was a monk sitting in front of Yajima Kyo. It was his opinion that made Yajima Kyo choose to give in on this matter.

What was impressive was that his right arm was severed at the root, leaving nothing underneath his sleeve, leaving only his left hand still saluting Yajima.

Gufeng Yiyun, who can also be called "Gufeng Zen Master", whose common name is Sugiyama Kashiwa, is currently a guest at the Yajima family.

The old patriarch of the Yajima family, Yajima Kyo, was already very old. He just looked quietly at the monk Yiyun who was playing chess with him in front of him, his eyes fixed on the other's still young face.

This monk is no longer a human being.

Aging and death are inevitable stages in human life.

Even if one practices Yin-Yang magic, one can only delay the arrival of death...but the human body's lifespan limit still exists. Even if one wants to maintain eternal youth, one must pay a very heavy price. The breath of life emanating from Yiyun does not seem like that of a centenarian at all.

Maybe it merged with some monster.

When some people face death, they will always seek various ways out... and the ending is nothing more than degenerating into monsters, or coexisting with monsters, which is nothing new.

"Has the crack been opened?"

"almost."

Gufeng Yiyun said.

"I haven't heard Jin's voice in a long time. He's lived a long time, and the people he knew in the world have disappeared one after another. Even if you're not a nostalgic person, you'll gradually miss your old friends... Sigh, I don't know if he's doing well in the gap."

"If everything goes well, the spirit won't be left wandering around."

"Haha, that's true... But let me tell you, fate in this world is truly marvelous. The Hiiragihara child I let go because I thought he was interesting actually became the carrier of a divine soul. This is all my credit, right?"

Yajima Kyo: "Shouldn't the most important thing be how that spirit appeared?"

"Who knows."

Gufeng Yiyun shook his head with emotion.

"I'm still trying to figure out what happened in the rift three years ago... The entire rift suddenly went out of control. I was so scared I thought Eclipse was going to fail again."

"Fortunately, Jin's breath is still there, and that evil Jin's egg is still throbbing..."

Shadows moved in the corners of the house.

——Kage-chan, the only remaining high-ranking Shikigami of the Yajima family.

She also knew this Zen Master Gufeng. It was he who gave Yashimazu ambition a hundred years ago, which led to the "Eclipse" plan.

"We can assume that the eclipse has failed."

Yajima Kyo said.

Gufeng Yiyun smiled: "What do you mean?"

"From the moment we lost control of the Rift, the entire plan became confusing... We still haven't figured out why the spirit was brought out of the Rift in the form of a mask, and who gave the mask to Mai... The spirit's appearance is certainly beneficial to us, but the meaning behind it is very different."

"Perhaps, someone is quietly hiding behind us, planning to be the oriole."
