I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 45 45. The Curse Sacrifice
The curse ceremony is derived from the consecration ceremony, and its core purpose is exactly the opposite of the consecration ceremony. Some strange witches will call it the "curse sacrifice ceremony".The curse ceremony distorts the original intention of praying for the blessing of the gods, and instead prays for the gods to curse or punish a certain object. It is a rather venomous ritual.

The witch who participated in the ceremony wore black and red costumes and a hideous ghost face with fangs. She offered dance and music sacrifices in front of the gods who needed to pray, and then just waited quietly for the gods to respond.

There is a rigid requirement for the ceremony, which must be held on the night of the red moon.

The time of the regional ghost talk coincides with the elements of the ceremony, so this group of weird people beating drums and gongs will appear tonight.The ominous red moonlight penetrated into the room through the doors and windows, and sprinkled on these nagging witches, making them more like messengers from hell, wishing to drag everyone they saw into death silence.

The speed of the witches' circles was getting faster and faster, and the speed of chanting the mantra was almost too fast to be heard. The dense murmurs turned into sharp needles, constantly piercing the fragile eardrums.

There was a strong bulging sensation in the head, as if the brain was constantly being beaten hard by something, and at the same time, the temple was pierced by a sharp object, messing up the brain.

The feeling of dizziness and vomiting struck swiftly and violently, Rui Ji's chest felt tight, and his sense of smell became weak, and he could hardly smell the burning scent of the calming candle.

Yue's situation is similar to hers. The meditation spells dedicated to witches are very ineffective, and they are equivalent to no effect.

"As expected of the last night's offensive, it will be over if you leave this bed."

She covered her ears, but still couldn't resist the pervasive singing.

"How are you?"

"I can't stand it..."

Rui Ji's complexion was very bad.

The witches dancing around the bed brought her more than simple noise disturbance. If it was pure noise, it would be fine. At best, she would be a little annoyed.The sound that can make both body and mind feel pain and difficulty breathing is equivalent to invisible stranglement.

Those voices became a pair of invisible hands, strangling her neck through Shimenawa rope and mosquito net.Illusion and reality became blurred, Rui Ji really had the feeling of being out of breath, a line of blood flowed from his nostrils.

"You look terrible."

Yue pulled up the only quilt on the bed, covered the two of them under it, and then constructed a mysterious technique to prop up the quilt slightly. The second technique was a level 4 sound-proof magic, which is a witch who is sensitive to noise. Greatest boon.

The quilt blocked the line of sight, the sound-proof magic filtered the sound, the influence of the curse ceremony on Rui Ji gradually eased, the difficulty in breathing and the discomfort of dizziness left the body, and the precious oxygen flowed smoothly in the chest cavity again.

The range of activities of the two was further reduced, and they were confined under the quilt, and the distance between them was unprecedentedly close, less than a foot.They can feel the smell of the bath agent on each other, the light fragrance lingers at the tip of their noses, and the breath and body temperature are so within reach.

It's very common in this world for a witch to be close to a witch.Going to school, eating, bathing, and sleeping together is nothing to be fussed about.Rui Ji's heartbeat tended to slow down, and his forehead was wet with sweat.

The face of the moon next to her was as usual, and she remained motionless in the flustered environment. Once again, she felt that this guy was not like a high school student, but a middle-aged social animal who had experienced the warmth and coldness of the world. He belonged to the type who felt numb to everything .

"Miss Yue, don't you feel scared at all?"

Rui Ji inhaled forcefully, then exhaled again, to compensate herself for having difficulty breathing just now.

"I'm not an omnipotent witch, I must be afraid."

She grabbed Rui Ji's hand, and their fingers were tightly intertwined, inseparable.

"How do you feel now?"

"If it's a strike-up, this trick is too bad."

"Didn't you just ask about your current mood? Didn't you feel my hands shaking? Miss Sakuma, don't be so weird about your focus."

"Ah... It seems that your hands are shaking a little."

The witch intertwined with her, although she had a calm poker face, her palms and body were shaking.There are many ways to present fear. Yue's method is restrained and introverted. It does not show on the face, but can be interpreted through body language.

If you don't observe carefully, you won't find that she is afraid at all.

An expressionless face is the best way to hide yourself, but not everyone can hide subtle expressions under the mask, and Yue did it perfectly, at least a little enviable.

She let go of her hands and turned her face up, avoiding Rui Ji's gaze.

"A long time ago, I knew that no one can rely on, and the only way out is to work hard. Fear must not be a reason to hinder my progress. If there is a stumbling block, then use magic to break it. So, you'd better not be too Rely on me, and I will not rely on you, we have no responsibility to pay for each other."

"Your speech is very similar to that kind of scumbag witch who doesn't recognize anyone when she wears a magic robe."

"I'm currently single and clean, I don't go to bars, I don't hang out in nightclubs, I don't like dancing or partying."

"Now it's like a self-introduction on a blind date. Now the legal age of marriage for Japanese witches is 18. Are you ready?"

"..."

Yue is not very good at parrying jokes in this regard, she knows that Rui Ji is deliberately teasing herself, so she neither gets angry nor answers.Some gags filled the quilt with a happy air.

The following time passed slowly between the two of them chatting with each other. I don't know how long it has passed. Rui Ji's eyelids couldn't hold it, and he was still talking a second ago. When Yue was thinking about how to answer, he was already asleep. caught.

The effect of the can of black coffee was not particularly good, and Yue also felt physically and mentally exhausted, and couldn't help yawning.

The witches who held the curse ceremony by the bed were silent, the sound of beating the taiko drum and chanting scriptures seemed to have never appeared.She lifted the quilt to liberate her sweltering body.

The morning wind flows into the room through the open door, and the 20-square-meter bedroom is as small as before. After two candles burned overnight, only a puddle of solidified crystal blue candle oil remains.

"It's over."

As if wanting to vent out the turbidity and emotions accumulated all night, Yue sighed forcefully, got out of bed and closed the opened door, turned off the overhead light, returned to the bed, and lay down next to Rui Ji.

It's already 7 o'clock in the morning, and it will be noon after I wake up.

The two motorized brooms were placed under the bed, and the bottom of the bed also belonged to the area protected by the Shimenawa rope, which was an area that ghosts could not get their hands on.

After a night of mental tension, Yue fell asleep almost instantly after lying down.

According to the exquisite sleep standards of witches, they slept until the sun was rising, sleeping an hour and a half longer than usual, and they didn't wake up until almost twelve o'clock in the noon.

The little witch Asakura, who was doing odd jobs, appeared at the door again and knocked on the door.

"Boss, do you want to have lunch now?"
