Chapter 32 Kitten Yuya

Tasks that pay well and require little effort are really simple.

The mission details state that cats have been meowing frequently in a residential area, 24 hours a day. The residents are greatly disturbed, and some working professionals have taken time off work to assemble a team and search the entire neighborhood.

Forget about cats, you can't even find a cat hair.

I don't know where the cat's meow is coming from.

Some say it's because a cat abuser used to live here, and the cats' meows are the ghosts of the cats that were killed.

Many people agree with this statement; those whose economic conditions allow have chosen to move.

Those who remained were residents who didn't have enough money to upgrade their homes.

Has anyone from [the window] investigated this? Can they confirm the situation?

Takeya Takayuki looked troubled: "Our people have investigated, but they haven't found anything. They could only find some remnants of cursed spirits, and what we can confirm is that they are not any of the currently registered cursed spirits."

"Preliminary assessment suggests that it possesses the ability to become invisible."

Xiao Lu Youye thought for a moment: "Doesn't Xia You have any spirits that can turn invisible?" Maybe we should catch one and bring it back as a souvenir for him.

Gojou Satoru, who had just received a gift, was in a good mood and didn't say anything sarcastic: "Jay didn't have any."

Then let's arrest him and take him back.

The car arrived at its destination quickly.

After getting off the bus, Xiao Luyou also looked around.

Every household kept their doors and windows tightly shut, and some even wrapped their windows with soundproofing material in an attempt to block out the eerie sounds.

"Born of darkness, darker than black, it cleanses all filth and defilement."

After setting up the tent, Takeya Takanao went to wait in the carriage.

Yuya carefully examined the remaining traces around him, trying to find the place where the cursed spirit had passed.

Gojo Satoru slightly pulled down the bandage. Six Eyes wouldn't miss any detail, so he found the remnants faster than Yuya Kojima.

But he didn't say anything.

After searching in vain, Yuya Kojima began to extract information from the trees and shrubs around him.

A cursed spirit can't remain hidden forever; it will eventually reveal itself when no one sees it. It can't be hiding from humans while also deliberately hiding from the surrounding plants.

They may have seen something.

Yuya Kojima diligently searches for clues, while Satoru Gojo's gaze remains fixed on him.

"Kitty."

There are cats.

—A cat? Where is it? Is it a real cat?

"Kitty, it's a kitty."

Okay, it doesn't seem very bright, but it's true that there are cats around.

"Maybe it's a cat-shaped cursed spirit? Most cursed spirits look like ugly monsters, so if it becomes a cat-shaped cursed spirit, it might be quite cute?"

Gojo Satoru casually replied, "What kind of cursed spirit is good-looking? It might be a cat-shaped cursed spirit with eight legs, four heads, and six eyes."

Yuya's secret expectation vanished instantly.

"...Let's go, they said that a cat curse spirit appeared in that direction."

Yuya looked gloomy, and the culprit was completely unaware: "Yuya, cheer up! You have me, with my unparalleled divine looks, to accompany you on missions."

Yuya Oka:==

When we arrived at the location indicated by the information, we found an abandoned warehouse, which must have been a fabric factory in the past. Some dirty and moldy fabrics were still there.

Yuya wandered around aimlessly and came across a nest that had been abandoned.

It was just a cardboard box with a cotton pad inside that had a cat pattern printed on it. It was already moldy, and someone had drawn a cartoon kitten on the box with a black marker.

"It's a cat's bed."

"Can the resentment of animals also form cursed spirits?"

"certainly."

Satoru Gojo: "Humans are, in the end, just another kind of animal. Animals that are intelligent, have feelings, and can think will experience negative emotions. Of course, this is very rare. Compared to humans who like to scheme and plot, animal emotions are not so complicated and are mostly positive."

Yuya Ogawa concluded: "So this situation is all of humanity's own doing."

"Human beings are never satisfied; this is an unsolvable situation."

The Gojo family initially only wanted to become the most influential of the three founding families, but now, because of Gojo Shinji, they want more and more.

He hoped that the other two families would completely submit to the Gojo family.

"How do I lure out the invisible cursed spirit? It doesn't seem to be a cursed spirit with extremely strong attack power." After all, it didn't directly harm humans, it just created noise that ordinary people couldn't tolerate.

For a spirit, it has a very peaceful personality.

Yuya Kojima had a sudden inspiration: "Do you think it would be okay if I bought cat treats?"

"Feeding this stray cat cursed spirit is worse than feeding it to me."

"...What, you can eat cat treats too?"

"Cat meat is just fish and shrimp. I can eat fish and shrimp. As long as it's not mashed into a paste, why can't I eat it?" Gojo Satoru argued righteously as he tried to take the food from the cat.

Yuya Kojiro gave Gojo Satoru a deep look, but said nothing.

But everything is left unsaid.

“No need for all that trouble. No matter how well this cursed spirit can hide, it can’t fool [Six Eyes]. Follow me.” Gojo Satoru grabbed Yuya Kojima’s wrist and led him to find the invisible cursed spirit, a path he knew all too well.

Passing through abandoned machinery, we left through the back door of the warehouse and entered a dilapidated alley. After winding our way through several turns, we arrived at a house that was no longer inhabited.

Xiao Lu You also touched the wall, which was already covered with a thick layer of dust.

Entering the house from the yard, there were still quite a few things left, making it seem like the owner hadn't been back for a long time.

"Is it here?"

“The filth is strongest here,” Gojo Satoru said, standing at the doorway and pointing to the center of the room. “It’s here.” The ground was too dirty to bother taking off his shoes before going in.

"They probably thought we couldn't see it like everyone else, so they didn't run away."

Yuya Ozaka: Me? I can't see you, only you can.

He found it a bit tricky.

"We can't see the cursed spirit, how are we supposed to catch it?"

"I have a way. Speaking of which, Yuya hasn't seen my domain yet, has he?"

Yuya Kojima repeated, "Domains? Aren't only cursed spirits capable of having them?"

"Let's just understand it as... a type of sorcery. But it can perform wide-range attacks, like..."

Thus, Gojo Satoru casually broke off a branch and drew a circle on the ground. "A domain is a closed space. Every sorcerer's domain is different. Those who lack talent may not even be able to create their own domain."

"A sorcerer's [domain] has its own set of rules."

"There are two ways to use it. One is [Domain Deployment], which uses the cursed spirit to give the domain a materialized action, which can greatly increase attack power. Because the domain has a guaranteed hit effect, it is also known as the 'ultimate of cursed combat'."

"Another type is [Domain Extension], which transforms the domain into a thin film that wraps around the body. This can neutralize the guaranteed hit effect of other domains and defend against other people's life-giving spell attacks. However, if you do this, you cannot activate spells and can only perform ordinary physical attacks."

Gojo Satoru spoke in a simple and easy-to-understand way, without his usual nonchalant attitude, making him seem exceptionally reliable.

Yuu couldn't help but be curious about what kind of person Gojo Satoru was.

Even if someone is usually unreliable, you feel very safe when this person is around.

Is it the overwhelming power that gives people this feeling?

"After graduation, you should probably become a teacher. I think you have the talent for it."

Gojo Satoru suddenly leaned closer: "What? Did Gojo-sensei just win you over with her beauty?"

Yuya's slightly upturned lips instantly straightened: "Let's get down to business. So you're going to use [Domain]?"

"Yes, to catch an unseen and bold cat, isn't a completely enclosed cat carrier the best tool?"

Gojo laughed.

He raised his hand, his index finger gently tapping his middle finger.

"Domain expansion—boundless emptiness."

**

Another strange two-legged creature has arrived.

But it doesn't matter, since the two-legged creatures can't see it anyway.

The cat spirit licked its paws.

Actually, when it walks around at home, its paws won't get dirty, because it's no longer a real cat.

But it still can't help having this habit.

I always feel that if I'm at home, I should lick my paws clean first. If my owner is home, I don't need to lick my paws, since my owner will use a white thing to wipe them clean.

It's okay if it's wet; after all, the owner is a clean person. The cat, as the owner, should also be clean.

Master... Master hasn't been back for a long time.

The last time I went hunting was before I counted all my toes four times. My master's friend came to visit, took something with him, and left, but never returned.

It's a pity that cats don't know how to clean. I wonder if the owner would be especially happy if the cat cleaned the house while the owner was away?

Wow, did our XX make this? Our XX is amazing! They even mopped the floor for Mom! That's wonderful!

The cat couldn't resist the thought of its owner's warm and fragrant embrace.

It opened its mouth and emitted a piercing cry.

"Domain expansion—boundless emptiness."

The two-legged creature made a strange sound, and then the cat found itself standing there dumbfounded.

It seemed like his little brain had been filled with a lot of things.

It felt like when your owner accidentally spilled water into your pet's belly while giving it a bath.

I feel so dizzy.

I feel dizzy.

Is the cat dying?

The azure light was formed by countless pieces of information flashing by at the speed of light, as if echoing Gojo Satoru's "Six Eyes".

Yuya saw a cat-shaped curse spirit suddenly appear in the sky.

Unlike the description by Gojo Satoru, which suggested it had many legs and heads, it was an ordinary little black cat with glossy, shiny fur.

It kicked its four legs haphazardly on the floor a few times before collapsing.

Yuya ran over: "Why isn't it moving? Is it dead?"

"How could that be? We agreed to bring it back to Jay. Cats don't have big brains. I injected 0.5 seconds of information, which is enough to put it into a state of dementia, but it won't die. It'll be fine in a moment."

"Actually, it's a very cute little cat. I don't know why it's here."

"Wait, Yuya, don't touch it yet!"

Gojo Satoru's voice and Kojima Yuya's actions occurred at the same time.

When Yuya heard Gojo Satoru's voice, he had already picked up the cursed spirit.

In his view, this was a cursed spirit that had already been defeated by Gojo Satoru and was no longer dangerous.

but……

"Bang—"

As the smoke cleared, Yuya's figure disappeared, replaced by clothes scattered all over the ground.

There was also a calico cat peeking out from under the clothes, its eyes full of confusion.

Satoru Gojo's voice was clearly filled with suppressed laughter: "Yuya, I forgot to mention earlier. Although this cursed spirit isn't very powerful, it's surrounded by a protective aura."

"It can turn people into cats."

The kitten Yuya angrily shouted, "Meow meow meow meow!"

You did it on purpose!!
