53《the root cause of the curse》

Actually, it would take a long time for us to arrive in the Imperial City, almost a week.

However, it only took 1 second since Li Shi was able to teleport us directly here. School, on the other hand, would start one day after arriving here, that is, 8 days later, according to the normal time.

I was lying in bed thinking.

This is how I survived the first day today...

What will I do for the remaining 7 days?

Let's just spend a few days touring the kingdom...

What should I do the other days?

I hugged the pillow and started thinking.

Being idle was definitely not for me.

I guess I'd be more interested in Rui before school opened. Because I was going to be very busy after school started.

I got up from the bed and went to Rui's room. If I don't take a step, he never comes close to me.

I stood in front of his door and knocked on the door. After a while, the door slowly opened. She appeared before me in a tiny white cotton pajama.

The moment he saw me and the next moment he closed the door, it was one thing.

Oh that tiny...

I knocked on the door again.

I threatened him when he didn't open. "You opened the door, you opened it, if you don't I will eat it! Even though I don't have a hobby like door cooking..."

Door opened.

"What!" said. He was back to his cold self again. I frowned as he looked at me with an expressionless face. Seriously, what a stubborn boy!

I went straight in and said, "I can't sleep, I'm afraid of the dark, I'll sleep with you".

Rui "..."

She gave him really disbelieving looks.

So the kid is smart, who would believe that I'm afraid of the dark?

I went to bed without listening to the boy's answer. He already had a bed wide enough to fit 3 people comfortably.

The boy frowned, "I refuse!" said.

I sighed.

"Frankly, I came to talk to you," I said, looking solemnly into his eyes.

"About the curse in your house"

His face is left.

"It's about your being able to see spiritual beings"

"It's about the discomfort in your body and..."

"About your mother"

He glared at me and sat on the bed.

I continued. "I will solve all the problems."

He asked suspiciously, "Why are you helping me? What will you get?!"

I smiled and stroked his hair. Noticing my stubbornness, he didn't stop me.

"My people caused all these problems, as their leader, I have to take this responsibility"

Although her suspicions waned, it did not go away completely.

"But Rui, you must answer me honestly. Let's talk about the other spirits in your house first. I can expel them, but I need to know where they are. Are there any other spirits left in your home? If so, how many? And how long?"

"I..."

After thinking, he replied.

"The spirits have existed for as long as I can remember. Their places are constantly changing as they are in motion, but I realized something...

I noticed that every time it was 7 o'clock, that is, they were weakened by the sunset, so they gathered in one place. This place was with my mother. I don't know their numbers"

I nodded and continued scratching my chin.

"Well, can we go to your mother? Are there any obstacles?"

He nodded.

That was bad.

It would be difficult.

"Hmm.." I scratched my chin again.

"Well, I'm going to ask you another question. This is very important."

"Did you see these spirits haunt your mother?"

After a pause, he spoke.

"I was only able to enter the room once. Since then I have been able to see spirits. Yes, they haunted my mother"

It could have been his mother's illness.

"And what did the doctor say? Does your mother have any other disease? Or what has she been diagnosed with?"

Shaking her head, she refused, "Nothing was found in my mother. That's why they even call it 'cursed'"

Understood. So I was 90% sure that if I exorcised the spirits, the woman would be healed.

Now it's time for other questions.

"The discomfort in your body isn't too bad. Can you see the fox on your shoulder?"

She refused.

"You can't see spirit beings, it's just that these demons can show themselves because they're getting stronger. But they must have chosen to appear only to you."

"So you'll be back to normal after you've hunted down all the demons here"

I saw the hope in your eyes.

"Your mother will be fine too"

"The muffled atmosphere in your house will go away. So what you call a curse isn't exactly a curse. Demons."

When I said 'the devil', his hope faded slightly. I nicked his forehead and scowled, "Why do you despair, when their leader is in front of you?"

He grabbed his forehead and fixed his bright eyes on me.

I smiled.

I asked questions about the general condition of the house.

She told it with hope, although she did not trust it.
