Twenty-four soldiers stood nervously at the gates of the city, with a curtain of ash covering the entire city of Twilight in front of them.

Although the huge reward gave them the courage to gamble their lives, it is clear that not everyone can withstand this pressure in the face of death.

Nineteen people flinched in front of the massive gray curtain and wanted to quit.

Chino didn't embarrass them, let them go back to reunite with their wives and children, and the family only felt that they were crying for the rest of their lives, hugging each other.

The remaining 5 people are determined to go up, and for these soldiers who can only earn copper moons, whether they are dead or alive, they have a large amount of silver moon income.

These silver moons are enough for their children to study for a few years, and if they can get excellent grades, win a half-official position, and be promoted to the silver moon class, they can completely change the fate of the family and get out of the quagmire at the bottom of society.

The five soldiers said goodbye to their weeping families, left their last words, and set off.

They cautiously walked out of the city gates and into the ashes.

At this moment, everyone is waiting with bated breath.

The voices were dead, only the wind was howling.

When the soldiers touched the gray curtain, and before they could react, they suddenly screamed and began to scratch their bodies with their hands, scratching all the flesh and blood on their bodies.

"Ah!! Yes!!! ”

"There's something in me! Help me!! ”

"Hmm! Don't bite me! ... Out of my body!! ”

They scratched themselves into a blur of flesh and blood, as if trying to get something out of their bodies, and their bodies withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, the five people were decomposed into dried corpses in a very short period of time and collapsed in the ashes.

Silence, deathly silence.

When the cruel facts are revealed, everyone realizes that there is no way out... Everyone is going to be trapped here.

"We're done... Will everybody die..."

"Woo... Is there anyone who can save us..."

"Onmyoji-sama, Administrator, please find a way to save us..."

"Baby, don't be afraid, mom will protect you..."

...

Loud as Chino made his way through the crowd, handing out 300 silver moon pensions to the families who were kneeling and weeping bitterly, and sending medical officers to write down their names.

He then walked up to Lu Yu and asked lightly, "You said before that people who come in from the outside won't become like them, right?" ”

Lu Yu nodded: "The sky is dusty, you can go in, you can't go out." ”

"Okay." Chino turned to leave.

"Administrator!" Lu Yu leaned over Chino, clenched his fists and looked at his back, "What the hell are you waiting for?!" ”

Chino turned his face sideways and said in a calm tone: "There is one more thing, I must confirm with my own eyes." ”

Lu Yu's eyes were sad, and he smiled miserably: "After the gray curtain, the eldest son will wither, do you know how many people will die?" ”

Chino didn't say anything and left with his back to her.

...

In the evening of the same day, the hour hand crossed 24 o'clock and entered Dettol on the 29th.

"No!!! ...”

Where the first wail came from is unknown.

It was like a spark thrown into the oil field, spreading like a prairie fire, crying one after another, burning the entire Twilight City, completely tearing apart the hypocritical tranquility of the night.

Soldiers at the 12 evacuation points hurriedly lit torches to illuminate the night.

There was no blood, no killing, but a scene of purgatory on earth.

"Kid! My baby!!! The parents clung to their children in their arms, but they had lost their movements, and they were just withering in their sleep, dying quietly.

It is difficult to count the number of deaths, all of whom were the eldest sons of various families.

Some of them were already young adults, and their elderly and frail parents were crying to death next to the corpses.

There are also some who have not yet reached adulthood and have not yet grown up and collapsed in the arms of their parents, just like a well-behaved sleep as a child, but they will never wake up.

This huge death is too precise, regardless of gender, age, origin, occupation... No one survived.

And those children who were not the eldest sons, holding their brothers and sisters who were born before themselves, and crying, none of them were injured by mistake.

The earthquake shook the mountain, the storm destroyed the city, and then the sky was covered with dust, and the curse of withering befell the eldest son...

The prophecy of the Seven Calamities of Heaven's Damnation turned into a sickle in the hands of the Grim Reaper, taking away the soul like cutting off ripe ears of rice, and the Grim Reaper did not want any of those immature ears of rice.

Chino patrolled the evacuation sites, the parents who had lost their eldest son wept heartbreakingly, and the men and women who had no children for various reasons became the luckiest of the disaster.

A commoner knelt on the ground with the body of his eldest son in his arms, and cried bitterly to Chino: "Your Excellency, please believe what Onmyoji said, and undo this disaster for us!" ”

The death of the eldest son is only the fourth plague, and there are three more plagues to follow, and fear has broken the hearts of the civilians, who are trapped in the isolated island of Twilight City by the gray curtain, with nowhere to escape, and the onmyoji's spell unraveling has become the only hope.

"My lord! Please let Onmyoji save us! Everyone fell to their knees and kowtowed to Chino desperately, and the pleading of the surging public opinion came from all directions, as if they had turned into a wall and pressed against Chino to crush him.

Chino's indifferent gaze swept over everyone's faces, and all the walls disappeared the moment they touched him, and he simply said, "Give me some more time." ”

When Chino inspected the last place, the refuge where Lu Yutian was, all the accompanying soldiers fell into an indescribable shock.

I saw Lu Yutian sitting in the center of the refuge point, she cut her wrist, blood flowed on the ground, and the scarlet lines continued to extend outward, intersecting, passing through the undulating crowd, and finally converging into a huge yin and yang hexagram plate, enveloping all the tens of thousands of civilians in this refuge point.

Open the door, close the door, live door, hurt door, Du door, view door, shock door, death door... Near the eight gates of the hexagram plate, there was an overwhelming terrifying death breath, the black fog was as thick as deep ink, and the white bones appeared in the clouds, as if there was a roar of dragons, more and more poignant, accompanied by a great fishy smell.

However, under the Yin Yang Spell, all of these black mist dead qi were trapped in the Eight Gates of the Hexagram Plate, and they failed to invade in the slightest.

Lu Yutian's spirit was extremely sluggish, her robe was already soaked with blood, she took out a golden charm under her sleeve, absorbed the magic power in it, and poured it into the veins at the cost of self-damage cultivation, and finally quickly sealed.

"All for the common people..."Lu Yu leaned over his robe, and suddenly golden light appeared under his sleeves, Rui Ying Qian, hunting spells flew out one after another, they were originally only the size of a palm, but they rose to several feet in the sad black wind, like a towering giant wall.

8 charms are located in the eight gates of the hexagram plate, releasing a rumbling sound, the momentum is huge, with her last loud shout, the charm bursts out with earth-shattering power, the golden light roars like a torrent passing through, instantly swallowing the dead air as thick as black ink, and together with it turned into a bright spark, disappearing into the vast night.

After the dead air dissipated, the parents hugged their children tightly, and the children also snuggled up to their parents, without crying or wailing, only hugging and crying for the rest of their lives.

Under the yin and yang array, none of the eldest sons withered.

The indescribable shock surged through the soldiers' bodies, and in the refuge points in front of them, too many partings and deaths made them numb, but at this time, they suddenly felt the blood rushing in their bodies, as if they had grasped the only ray of light in the darkness.

Under the spontaneous support of the civilians, Lu Yu staggered towards Chino, she was extremely weak, crumbling like a fallen leaf, and her voice was as thin as the wailing of autumn cicadas: "Next... Is... Blood... Rain..."

"Onmyoji-sama!" The soldiers hurriedly helped the unconscious Lu Yutian and took her to rest by the bonfire.

Baisa stood behind Chino, looking at Lu Yutian who was carried away with complicated eyes: "My lord, we..."

Chino didn't say anything, his eyes looked to the east, in the direction of Gyeonggi.
