Ryunosuke Ubu's parents were among the first builders of Fuyuki's new capital. When this coastal town, which was originally just a remote fishing village, was about to expand, they keenly sensed the opportunity and decided to come with their family.
Facts have proved that their vision was correct. Although it was difficult in the early days, after the dock and train station were built, Fuyuki's prosperity skyrocketed like its cargo throughput, and even in the new capital, the prosperity was no less than that of
In other first-tier cities, the city government is still ambitiously planning to continue to expand the town.
But precisely because of this, it is difficult for Mr. and Mrs. Yusheng, who have become the backbone of Fuyuki after several years of hard work, to take time off. Their children have almost grown up taking care of each other.
Due to the lack of parental education and the lack of school teachers' responsibility to help students shape their worldview, both siblings have hidden psychological problems under their seemingly reassuring appearances as top students.
Although Yusheng Dahe has a very masculine name, she is actually petite and has a delicate and cute appearance. When she and her brother stand together, they are often mistaken for brother and sister. She is very annoyed by this and often forces her brother to "walk squatting"
”.
Ryūnosuke Ubu is a cheerful and optimistic guy who can see into the subtleties of other people's moods. He doesn't give up because of failure. He is a good young man with strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge. He can always tolerate his sister's unreasonable troubles.
But that's just their appearance.
Ryunosuke Ubui was born with an extraordinary insight into the concept of "death". In his eyes, whether it was a dying old man or a big tree that was about to be cut down for construction projects, they were all surrounded by a dark vortex of "death".
But this was not a prediction, because when he witnessed a car accident, he found that the victim was surrounded by a "vortex" after being knocked down.
Because of this, he sneered at all horror and ghost movies. "They are all fake," he always said to his frightened sister.
Yusheng Dahe is very afraid of ghost stories, monsters or ghosts, but she always likes to listen to horror stories or watch related movies. Even if she is frightened nine times out of ten, she never gives up. In her words, "I am
I'm learning how to protect my brother if these things really show up one day."
Putting aside the psychological problems of the younger brother who is keen on observing death and the elder sister who likes to talk about ghosts, their own problems are actually caused by the fact that the Yusheng family has a thin magic bloodline and the house is located above a shallow spiritual vein.
If no magic association or church shows up and guides them, the most likely outcome is that my sister fakes it while trying a psychic ritual.
Really, after the younger brother found out that his older sister had been replaced by "something", he killed him - or was killed, no matter what, the remaining one would become a crazy murderer with reason due to the abnormal awakening of his bloodline.

Recently, Ryuunosuke Uyu, who always mocked his sister's enthusiasm for rituals as a "sickness", found out that he was also "sick". He wanted to see more "deaths" and considered making them himself.
The reason is that Fuyuki's death rate suddenly dropped a lot during this period, and the "whirlpool of death" was almost completely invisible. Ryuunosuke Uyu, who had never seen that he was addicted, took leave to go to the suburbs of the city to open a project, but he found that because of environmental protection
Due to organized protests, deforestation was temporarily suspended, and the "death" of natural trees no longer occurred.
As a non-smoker and drinker, he felt anxious about quitting smoking and drinking.
After killing many insects and destroying many flowers and plants, Ryunosuke used great perseverance to stop himself from submitting an internship application to the slaughterhouse because he found that he had chosen the wrong way to relieve his anxiety - choosing to create "deaths" himself.
", the ultimate target can only be "people", so if he doesn't want to become a murderer, he must find another way out.
Ryunosuke tried to participate in several of his sister's "rituals", but the situation became more serious. Taiga thought that she just purely liked mysterious things, but her brother, who had already stepped half of his foot into another world, keenly discovered that...
Almost all "safety measures" in the ceremony were ignored. If the ceremony was successful, the participants would basically be dead.
Therefore, her purpose is to enjoy the feeling that she may die at any time under an unprotected mysterious ritual. In other words, she is looking for death.
Could it be that our siblings have been cursed by something? If this continues, sooner or later I will do it myself - no, absolutely not.
Ryunosuke, who doubted whether there was something wrong with his family's bloodline, went to the basement where many old things were kept to look for clues, but even he himself didn't know what he wanted to find.
"Hundred Stories of Peace"
This is a miraculously well-preserved Japanese-style thread-bound ancient book, and it is not a printed matter. It should be a personal note. The date inside is written in the second year of the shogunate calendar. In addition, there are almost no katakana in Chinese characters throughout the text, and there are a lot of references in the text.
Judging from the deeds of monsters and monsters as well as the methods used by Onmyoji to summon shikigami, it should have been written during the Heian period more than a thousand years ago.
This thing was originally supposed to be classified as a "strange psychic method" that my sister liked, but Ryunosuke saw a "whirlpool of death" in the book that was almost imperceptible without looking carefully. How can a book die? Could it be?
Is this not my sister’s joke ritual but the real thing?
Ryunosuke, who was very interested in this, tried all the summoning methods mentioned in the article, such as drawing psychic arrays, paper-cut figures or chanting spells, etc.
Unsurprisingly, they all ended in failure. It's natural to think about it. If this child's play-like behavior could really summon things, how could the Onmyoji profession disappear?
"Ha, I knew I shouldn't step into my sister's territory." Finally realizing that he had fallen into Yusheng Dahe's usual enthusiasm for strange rituals, Ryunosuke shook his head and closed the book: "Let's try this last one.
If it doesn’t work, just leave it to the tiger.”
The last thing I tried was a ritual and spell that could summon [heroic spirits] that a modern person mentioned in his comments. Because his patience was about to run out, he didn't take it seriously during the ritual.
To draw the magic circle, he just found a few glasses of red wine and poured it into a circle. He also chanted the summoning spell in a messy manner, and finally input magic power into the magic circle - hey, what is that?
But it worked.
The wind blew, and the air flow turned into a fierce whirlwind the moment it appeared, blowing the entire basement into a mess.
The red wine that was poured carelessly on the ground flowed by itself at some point and formed a blood-red magic circle with a five-pointed star surrounding the moon and sun as the center, and it was not blown away under such wind pressure.
The hurricane roared, and it seemed that there were countless different voices repeating the incantation. They were mixed but not chaotic, as if countless people were performing the same summoning ritual at different times, and the incantation was different under the multiple chants.
On the contrary, the content is clearer. Although the languages used are different, the meanings they express are exactly the same.
【Swear here】
The strong wind weakened, and Ryunosuke Uyu's vision dimmed. What followed was a pain that felt as if he had been severely run over by a truck, and as if his bone marrow had been extracted. He fell to the ground involuntarily, but his eyes blinked.
Looking at the magic circle without blinking,
[I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds in the world, and I am the one who destroys all the bad intentions in the world——]
He suddenly had an unshakable premonition that whatever was about to happen would change the course of his life forever.
【You obey my orders, your fate is with my sword——】
Lightning thundered, wind and clouds rolled, and the young man who fell to the ground had his eyes hurt by the wind pressure, and had to reach out to block it, while the summoned pattern on the floor began to shine with red light.
[The guardian of the scales comes from the Wheel of Suppression!]
The incantation came to an abrupt end, the channel connecting the source and the real world opened, and a petite figure appeared from the blood-red light that spurted out like substance.
It was a girl with a long silver cape, red eyes, snow-white skin, and a stern expression. She was wearing a pure white nun's uniform that reached her ankles and had wide sleeves. She also wore a fur-edged cloak with buckles on her shoulders.
Two rose-red satin ribbons embroidered with gold ornate patterns hung down from her front, and she wore a bright gold crown that was a bit too big for her.
From an ordinary person's point of view, although this girl is dressed a little strangely, she can still be called very cute, but in the eyes of Yuyu Ryunosuke...
- death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death
death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death death
Death death death death death——
He never thought that one day he would see so many vortexes of death. Those countless "deaths" could not be caused by mere accidents, wars, or disasters. His intuition told him that its scale was even far greater.
It is hundreds of times larger than the total population of the earth recently calculated.
At this moment, Ryunosuke suddenly understood the strangeness between himself and his sister - both siblings have the ability to exist on the other side of the world, but that hidden world is stingy about opening the door, so that they are in this unexplained situation.
Doing all kinds of strange things when anxious.
If you do it yourself, you will never be able to catch even a fraction of the death vortex in front of you in your lifetime.
Feeling endless death, even if he might be swallowed up in the next moment, he still showed a happy expression of getting what he wanted.
"Just a question."
The girl blinked her red eyes that were as bright as gems, and turned her gaze to the young man who had stood up at some point and looked dumbfounded.
