Chapter 207: Chapter 180. Novel Content (8000 words!)

The next day, Beichuan Family.

Today, Qianye Yuki came on her own to Beichuan’s house, receiving another treatment for her leg.

She had already undergone three death-energy treatments, and Qianye Yuki’s calf was slowly regaining health.

Beichuan Si also listened to Qianye Cang as he explained Qianye Yuki’s leg condition. Now, Qianye Yuki used a cane to slowly walk for several minutes each day. Although her movements were still a bit stiff, the progress was terrifyingly fast.

You see, previously, Qianye Yuki’s legs had no sensation at all, she couldn’t even feel her feet, let alone lift or move them.

After the treatment, Beichuan Huili voluntarily came down from upstairs and asked to go to the art studio with Qianye Yuki.

At that time, Beichuan Si learned that Qianye Yuki owned real estate in Tokyo, seemingly a two-story Western-style house with an art studio inside. However, since she had been away for a long time, the house had been left vacant, and now because of Beichuan Huili’s presence, she had once again hired people to clean up the mansion inside and out.

Normally, Qianye Yuki and Beichuan Huili stayed in the art studio together, painting, with Qianye occasionally giving her some guidance.

Only...

Why had Beichuan Huili suddenly become so diligent? She even proactively requested Beichuan Si...

Beichuan Si took note of Beichuan Huili’s earnest attitude but did not say anything.

Being industrious was good, but he hoped that the girl wasn’t just experiencing a fleeting interest.

After the Qianye sisters took Beichuan Huili away, Beichuan Si finished cleaning up the dishes and decided to sit down to read "The Lost Yuchuan."

Yesterday, when he was seeing off Sakurai Saki, he had also asked her about the curse.

"On ’The Lost Yuchuan,’ the curse that was found..."

Beichuan Si flipped through the Chapters of "The Lost Yuchuan" and in the first volume ’Enter,’ he found the mention of the curse.

As mentioned before, Seto Cheng used a first-person perspective combined with a reverse montage technique to introduce the characters in the story through various scenes.

The content of ’Enter’ recorded the main male character and his girlfriend researching after discovering their two friends had met untimely deaths, and according to the rituals mentioned in their findings, they conducted a four-person hide-and-seek game.

And the curse Sakurai Saki mentioned was on the last page of the first volume.

That section was thoughtfully highlighted by the editor in bold black font.

"Yuchuan oh Yuchuan, we have never forgotten you."

This volume also contained eerily terrifying content, as the main male character and the main female character uncovered secrets from the past while dealing with sudden attacks from child spirits.

In "The Lost Yuchuan," the child spirits used the length of time, channeling their murderous grudge to enhance themselves. The longer the delay, the stronger they would become. The only way to break the curse was a desperate attempt to enter the haunted Yuchuan Elementary School.

This volume was called ’Enter,’ where the main male and the main female characters desperately sought ways to break the curse, consulting monks and visiting various shrines to contain the bluish-purple curse, but to minimal effect. Eventually, they found a method to erase the curse in the library of the real Yuchuan Elementary School. That was by winning the four-person hide-and-seek game and escaping Yuchuan Elementary School.

Beichuan Si thought to himself.

But this conjecture undoubtedly conflicted with reality.

The four-person hide-and-seek game in reality had to be conducted with a ritual before it would be cursed by Yuchuan Elementary School.

And those cursed were the targets of the child spirits’ attacks.

Yet Beichuan Si had already transferred all the curses from Sakura Miori and the others onto his own wrist yesterday, but he had not been attacked by anyone after sleeping through the night.

It may also have been because those child spirits knew that he was not an easy target, so they did not focus on him.

"Regardless, I need to be cautious going forward."

Beichuan Si took a sip of water and continued reading the content of the volume.

Beichuan Si noted down the location of the library at Yuchuan Elementary School described in the novel, as well as the specific method of conducting the ritual. Just as he was about to turn to the next page—

The doorbell rang.

At the same time, a joyful voice came from outside:

"Mr. Temple! Mr. Temple!"

Beichuan Si exhaled and, setting down his phone, opened the door.

Shen Gu Mirai had changed into a new outfit, a brown coat with a white lining, which complemented her slightly grown-out hair, making her look youthful and pretty.

Upon seeing her, Beichuan Si asked, "Why do you ring the doorbell and knock when you have keys to my house?"

Uh...

Shen Gu Mirai blinked, grinned sheepishly, and said, "After all, this isn’t my house, Mr. Temple. It would be impolite to use the keys to open your door when you’re home."

Her reasoning sounded plausible, but Beichuan Si knew well that this young girl wasn’t one to adhere to rules.

But he couldn’t be bothered with such matters. Since Shen Gu Mirai was here, he would just entertain her.

Beichuan Si welcomed her inside. He intended to pour her tea, but to his surprise, Shen Gu Mirai poured a cup for herself with more skill than the host.

Beichuan Si gave her an extra glance and then resumed flipping through "The Lost Yuchuan" on his phone.

"Mr. Temple, are you still researching the content of ’The Lost Yuchuan’?"

Shen Gu Mirai leaned in from the side.

Ignoring her affectionate gesture, Beichuan Si spoke, ""The Lost Yuchuan" indeed contains some very intriguing content. I’ve recently reached out to the author, Seto Cheng, hoping to meet with him."
