Cardboard Houses Do Not Tear - Cardboard Houses Do Not Tear chapter 111

111 – Tag: Caught in the Wall

Just as angels are buried behind corrections, and fears are buried in the hard of buntang.

It is common knowledge that there are only pipes and cement (and the occasional secretive corpse) buried within the walls.

However, the hole in front of me and the ship in it succeeded in breaking our stereotypes.

I was wondering if it was a British spiritual architectural reinforcement that I didn’t know about.

“What is this?”

Looking at the reaction of the prianian next to me, with his straight red hair hanging down like a curtain, I don’t think that’s the case.

A ship full of secrets was still covered in darkness.

It was a bit of a stretch to reach out my hand recklessly because I didn’t know what was in it, which only looked dim.

“Wait a minute, I’ll turn on the lights.”

After using the magic tool to light the fire, the inside was revealed.

Fortunately, all I could see were plain plumbing and a less plain ship.

A very thin layer of white dust sat on the ship, which was originally brown.

Thickness that can only be achieved by not touching it for at least a few weeks.

Some bumps were clinging to the side of the pipe, where torn spider webs swayed slowly in the air.

And where the box was placed, there was a foundation that seemed artificially made.

Around the earthen foundation were dried corpses of insects.

Something like white powder was smeared on the side of the box. I guess I’ll have to take it out to find out what it is.

Prianian pointed to the foundation, the irregularities of the pipe, and said.

“It’s probably a trace of reinforcement with the repair magic.”

Cobwebs and reinforcing cotton.

There are two marks that would not have existed if it had been replaced with a new one.

So maybe the worker who reinforced it was the one who brought the ham.

The description of the ship ends here.

Now is the time to check what that is.

Inadvertently, I tried to reach into the hole, but I managed to stop.

How many times have you seen cases where you pick up something like that and end up being f*cked?

Thinking that I had endured ten years, I looked around and asked.

“Are there any of you here who have some knowledge of things embedded in walls?”

Prianian shook his head, but the poor young lady seemed to know something.

Because I saw that he was about to reach for my wrist, but then stopped.

She put her hand back into the sleeve of her robe and said.

“At least, it’s good that you’re not one to stretch your hands on strange things.”

“Do you know what that is?”

“No, at least that’s something you shouldn’t touch. Look over there.”

At the end of it, a dried and twisted spider, a flying insect, lay on the verge of crumbling.

“Isn’t that a bug corpse?”

“See where they are placed.”

As the basis for her claim, the young lady cited the fact that there were no insect corpses on the ship.

“Usually, if you look at an old box in a warehouse, you’ll see one or two flying insects twisted to death on it.

“You tried to run away?”

“Look in the direction they fell. Not one of them died against the box. Usually one or two die.”

As she said, all the dried bugs seemed to be about to spread in all directions.

As if trying to get away from that ship.

“An object that causes an animal or beast to move away from its surroundings and has a negative effect on people around it.”

Young lady guessed Ham’s identity.

“Usually, I’ve seen things like that and decided to call them cursed objects.”

It’s an unlucky item suitable for an unlucky place.

Anyway, to know such things, it was good to have an eye for it.

When I gave her young lady a look of admiration, she shrugged her shoulders very slightly and said,

“I would appreciate it if you think of it as a small piece of wisdom for life.”

I don’t know what kind of neighborhood wisdom is to filter out cursed items.

Are you by any chance the rightful ruler of Demon World?

Apart from admiring that the poor young lady fulfilled her title role, I had a question.

‘Why are we all fine?’

I wonder if Priianian was also curious about that, so he asked the young lady instead of me.

“So, if it’s a cursed item, it has enough power to affect the entire Breeze Hall, so why aren’t we okay with it?”

The young lady seemed to be pondering that question for a while.

“…That’s a question for me too. There are many ways to block the curse, and I have one of them. But this is the only thing that protects me.”

She asked us if we had any items with holy power.

When I heard her words, I thought of the walking miracle I met in the middle of the country.

‘Priest Rien.’

-It’s an apple for breakfast!

Perhaps it was because of the apology she gave me that I was fine.

Since it’s an item that made it possible to survive in a land full of dark magic, it must have that much efficacy against curses.

Pri Anian asked if she was thinking of something else, pulling out a small bottle from her bosom.

“Does holy water prevent that? I used it a little while ago.”

“Did you ever use holy water?”

“I used it for something personal. So young lady, is it true that holy water is effective?”

The young lady nodded her head as if her doubts were finally resolved.

“At least it’s better than nothing. I didn’t expect you guys to be so religious. A miracle from the sun god.”

It’s a miracle.

At those words, I inadvertently imagined something bouncing around.

“…Think of it as a miracle from the sun god.”

That’s because it’s a miracle.

***

I covered the bricks again and came out of Breeze Baream Pavilion.

There is priest Lien’s holy water, but the lady’s advice was that it could be dangerous if used recklessly in a situation where there was no clear solution.

“Then, now we must find the culprit who put the box in.”

As he said that, Prianian’s expression turned bloody.

Somehow, since there was something burned, it seems that he was angry that something similar to black magic was involved.

“Then how about notifying the university?”

I shook my head.

“Notifying the university doesn’t seem like a good option.”

Graduate school is a very remote place within the university, so it is quiet, but it is always a place where people stay.

And in that one month, there was no incident other than repair work that would cause the graduate school to be vacated.

There was even a research lab where repair work was completed quickly, even with graduate students who knew how to use magic to run their own business, so there was only one day for things to break out.

At the same time, this gave us a clue about the culprit.

“First of all, the culprit is the least low-ranking wizard who can use rapid repair magic, and is a person inside the university.”

You could bring in a wizard from outside the university, but you couldn’t make them learn the unsolved magic.

Knowledge is power, and if you do something that distributes power, someone will definitely get caught.

“Of course, if you use the power of the lady, the investigation will come from inside the university. But the culprit will disappear. Certainly.”

Then the young lady asked.

“Then what do you think the mercenary’s motive for the crime was?”

“I don’t know the motive. As the lady said, anger is unpredictable when it will explode.”

“According to Mr. G-House, it must be the two of us alone. Isn’t it?”

“There are three of us.”

“No.”

Prianian shook his head at the young lady’s resolute correction.

“It became dangerous from the moment the curse was entangled, young lady. I don’t think it will be difficult to protect the young lady anymore.”

“You guys can’t go to college without me.”

“I think you’ll be fine if you stay in the library after you come in. Wouldn’t it?”

Prianian was speaking quite firmly.

It seemed that he didn’t want the poor young lady to be in danger.

But she shook her head.

“Wasn’t my knowledge useful just a moment ago? I think it might be useful to you about curses.”

“Young lady.”

“I can protect my body. Priyanian.”

After saying that, the young lady spoke in a dignified voice.

“I am your advisor. That is my job.”

At that, I nodded.

What does it mean to say that collective intelligence is good? That’s what I’m using at this time.

Then Prianian asked what the next plan was.

“Do I have to go to the cathedral first?”

“No, let’s go to the library and look for information. If we go to the cathedral, things will definitely get bigger.”

Isn’t there a saying that she burns three candles while trying to catch bed bugs?

If you make a mistake, you may end up in a situation where you can continue to be tied to Colhen under the pretext of investigating.

I’ll have to ask for advice if there’s no way to fix it, but I’ll be fine for now.

Unaware of my ulterior motive, Priianian simply nodded her head.

***

In the library we arrived at, we found and read books related to curses.

The results so far have not been very good.

As befits a treasure trove of intelligence, there were books with considerable content, but perhaps because the readers were leveled upwards, there was only high-level curse information, not the curse we think.

How on earth do we know the progress of the curse of the ‘Ottogi doll’ whose limbs rot and fall off, and why is there a curse where petrification is lifted after 7 days?

It seems that I brought basic curse science, but it seems that I brought basic (assuming that we know) curse science.

‘Damn it, all basic books for majors are like this.’

I began to seriously consider whether I should go to the cathedral even now.

But I still had a way, so I got up.

As if under the curse of sleep, the prianian’s glazed eyes turned to me.

“I’m going to get some fresh air.”

I went out with the horse and headed for the clearing.

After a while, the person I wanted appeared.

“Oh, you’re here again.”

The wooden wiki of the Britian University Library, a genie that finds everything for three cigarettes.

It was an unknown librarian.
