Chapter 283 The Cursed Magic Book (2)
In the afternoon, Natsu and Happy were running around for the "magic book they couldn't understand"...
library.
"Eh? Weird words?!"
As if the scene was reenacted, after listening to Natsu's story, Levi enthusiastically tried to decipher the magic book, but after working for more than half an hour and flipping through all the books in her collection, she still couldn't find similar text.
"[A person whose shadow is stepped on will have a sword piercing his heart], I only saw this sentence."
Jet and Dolor on the side also came over and told what they saw, which were [Anyone whose color is guessed will be punished with an axe] and [Anyone who is seen moving will be hit with ten thousand heavy hammers].
"What is this? A kid's game?"
Just as Natsu and Happy were about to leave in disappointment, Levi suddenly said, "If it's about special texts, maybe Felide can understand something?"
So the man and the cat came to the guild again and found other companions. Without exception, no one could understand the words, but everyone could understand a sentence.
"【Souls that cannot completely die will be placed here】"
"[The chains bound both sides to death]"
"【The boundary between life and death will be broken】"
"【Bad luck can only be transferred but not eliminated】"
"[After getting wet, the second stage of horror will begin]"
"【 Retribution will haunt you for your entire life and bear the fruits of your sin】"
“【Darkness is also civilization】”
"[The transformation between hunter and prey only takes a moment]"
"Don't look up at the moon"
"[Things that are discarded will return to where they came from]"
Bang!
Laxus threw the magic book back to Natsu and Happy: "It's written in a mysterious way. Maybe it's Kira's prank! Only you will be fooled! Hahahaha..."
…
"Natsu, are we really being tricked?"
On the street, Happy and Natsu were in low spirits. Gein had consulted so many people, but they still had no clue about the book.
"No! Although I can't understand it, I can clearly sense that there is a dark magic in it. This book is definitely not that simple!"
"Oh?!" Happy was shocked that Natsu would use his brain to think about this, "Then how about we go back and ask Kira?"
When Natsu and Happy arrived at Hope Hut, it was already dusk, but Kira was nowhere to be seen in the store, and even the bookshelf that they had knocked over had not been put away.
"Kira! Kira!..."
"No one is here, are you out?"
"Happy, be careful!" Natsu's expression suddenly became very serious: "Something seems to be wrong!"
The entire Hope Cottage exuded an oddity. Not only that, the air was also filled with strange magic. After Natsu sensed it carefully, he found that it was exactly the same dark magic as in the magic book in their hands.
call out--!
Just as they were wondering, the magic book in Natsu's hand seemed to be affected by the dark magic and burst out with terrifying energy, blowing the man and the cat several meters away.
“It’s so hot!!”
"What's going on?!"
Snap!
The magic book that fell to the ground suddenly opened up, and the strong dark magic power around it quickly gathered, and a ball of dark green will-o'-the-wisp ignited above it. The will-o'-the-wisp emitted a dazzling light, filling the entire Hope Cottage.
Natsu and Happy, who witnessed all these changes, immediately felt something was wrong: "Is this... the curse of the magic book?"
"Will there be ghosts or demons coming out of it?"
Before the two were ready for battle, the will-o'-the-wisp split into two, turning into two dark green lasers that shot towards Natsu and Happy, and the cabin suddenly became brightly lit!
"Oh no! Happy! Get out of the way!"
Natsu yelled , and quickly stood up and ran towards Happy, but he was still a step too late. At this distance and speed, he couldn't dodge the speeding beam of light at all.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
"hateful……"
The light hit Natsu and Happy precisely, quickly taking away their consciousness.
…
When I regained consciousness, the sky had already darkened.
“Oh no!”
Natsu sat up suddenly and found himself still in the Hope Hut, with Happy sleeping beside him.
By the moonlight, he saw the strange magic book lying quietly not far from him. All the magic power on it had disappeared, and it looked like an ordinary book.
"Harpy! Get up!"
"Um... Natsu..." Happy rubbed his sleepy eyes and stood up, asking incoherently, "What's wrong? Is it morning yet?"
"Do you remember what happened?"
"Ah! Let me think... we came to find Kira, and then the magic book suddenly glowed green, and then... that's right! We were hit by the cursed light!!"
"Curse... Shoot... Aa ...
As their memories became clearer and clearer, they ran around in panic, "It's over... We've been cursed! We have to find a solution quickly!"
The moment they looked at each other, they were suddenly stunned by each other's appearance.
"Harpy, on your head..."
"Natsu, on your head..."
The partner's reaction showed that something was wrong, and the two quickly came to the mirror in the store. Under the bright moonlight, a familiar and strange magic emblem was engraved on their foreheads.
"Hey, Natsu. Do you think this emblem is similar to the cover of that book?"
"Could it be a curse mark?"
After staring blankly for three seconds, the two of them started running around anxiously again: "Ahhhhhh!!! Curse!! Curse!! We are cursed!! We have to find a way quickly!!!"
Magnolia is a coastal city with a small temperature difference between day and night, but Natsu and Happy felt a chill in their hearts as they walked on the road.
“What should I do…what should I do…”
After a day of running around, coupled with hearing those strange sentences from other people that no one could understand but could be translated, Natsu and Happy were filled with unspeakable fear.
Happy said pitifully, "Natsu, I'm hungry..."
Natsu also bent over and said with a sad face: "Me too, but at this time, the shops are closed, and there is no food stored at home..."
"Yoshi! Let's go to Lucy's house and see if there's anything to eat!!"
“Hey hey!!”
The man and the cat became full of energy again and ran towards Lucy's rented house.
Click!
With a crisp metallic sound, the door lock was easily opened, and two figures, one big and one small, sneaked into Lucy's house, walked to the kitchen as if they were familiar with the place, opened the refrigerator, took out the food and feasted on it.
After eating and drinking, Natsu and Happy fell on the sofa, touching their big bellies bulging from the food: "So full!"
"Come to think of it, Lucy's vigilance is really low. She hasn't even woken up yet!"
"That's natural, right? Kira once said that some people are like pigs when they sleep and can't be woken up no matter what! Lucy eats so much, she must sleep very soundly!"
During the conversation, the man and the cat walked naturally towards Lucy's bedroom again.
The dark bedroom was quietly opened...
"Let's paint Lucy's face while she's sleeping!!"
“The pen is ready!!”
Natsu scurried in with a whoosh and hid beside the bed.
Happy also jumped in with a "whoosh" and bumped into Natsu's legs.
The two heads slowly moved up and stared...
"Huh? Lucy isn't here?!"
Lucy was not sleeping soundly on the big soft bed as expected, and the entire bedroom was empty.
"Where would she go at this time?"
"Natsu, come over here and look at this!"
Happy's voice interrupted Natsu's confusion. He came to the desk and saw the strange magic book that had troubled them all day lying quietly on it!
"Happi, did you bring the book with you?"
"How is that possible! You should have brought it here, right Natsu?"
"No! It should be placed in the Hope Cottage!"
The two sides looked at each other and found that something was wrong.
Natsu picked up the book and looked through it again, but found that he still couldn't understand a single word. At this moment, he found a piece of paper under the book. What was written on the paper was exactly what they had heard from someone else today, and there was one more sentence.
"[Inhuman monsters broke into the house at midnight]"
"Oh no! Lucy must have been cursed too!!"
