Chapter 26: Ming Shen Yong Yong 02
The purple-clad woman who appeared before Ichichi was naturally Hoshino Nozomi wearing the Thor vest.
After equipping the new character card, Hoshino Nozomi has been out and about for seven days.
During these seven days, he has been trying to find the young man in Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's memory. Unfortunately, this kind of detailed investigation is not the Demon God's specialty, and as an alien, he does not have any connections that he can use.
Progress was forced to come to a standstill.
Until Hoshino Nozomi saved a dying sorcerer.
After the cursed spirit was exorcised, it turned into black smoke and dissipated, but Hoshino Nozomi did not let go of the naginata. Purple lightning of varying depths was still surrounding his body, leaving the rescued sorcerer confused.
Hoshino Momo didn't explain much.
While wearing the Wind God vest, he encountered cursed spirits twice. The first time was in a dark alley, where the blond-haired sorcerer killed a fish-headed monster with one sword, and the second time was in a bar, where he and Chuuya Nakahara destroyed an octopus monster together.
But the feeling of exorcising the first two cursed spirits was different from now. The Demon God's body was very sensitive to power. Hoshino Nozomi was very sure that he did not completely exorcise the cursed spirit.
But it disappeared right before their eyes.
The sorcerer knew nothing about abnormalities, and judging from his reaction, this was definitely not a normal phenomenon.
Hoshino Nozomi almost immediately thought of the young man in her memory.
There are many power systems in this world, and based on the memory fragments alone, he cannot determine whether the young man is a psychic, a sorcerer, or something else.
...Did he do this?
With the precedent of Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, Hoshino Nozomi began to think about another possibility - the remaining pages of forbidden knowledge were passed on by him to other people.
He learned from the sorcerer that the frequency of cursed spirits appearing in Tokyo has been increasing recently, almost several times that of other areas. So Hoshino Nozomi controlled the projection of Thor and chopped all the way to Tokyo, where he happened to meet several acquaintances.
He was impressed by the Kung Fu Panda in the trio and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
It seemed that this group of people had not rested for a long time. Regardless of the condition of Kung Fu Panda, the condition of the two people was obviously bad. If they faced the cursed spirit like this, they would probably make mistakes in the battle, get injured or even die.
The sorcerer that day introduced him to the basic situation of the sorcery world, including the [Tokyo Metropolitan Sorcery High School] and [Kyoto Prefectural Sorcery High School] in Kyoto, as well as Gojo Satoru who possessed the "Six Eyes".
This sorcerer, who is known as the strongest in the world of sorcery, possesses a pair of eyes that are extremely sensitive to cursed energy. If the "Six Eyes" are really as powerful as the rumors say, then he would probably be able to detect something unusual.
Coincidentally, he is also the teacher of the Jujutsu High School - the trio.
If he could take this opportunity to meet Gojo Satoru, it might help him with his future actions.
So, Hoshino Nozomi no longer hid her figure, but appeared in front of Ijichi and walked into the villa.
Most of the paint on the villa's exterior had fallen off, but the inside was still clean, except that the trio was nowhere to be seen.
Hoshino Moto quickly concluded that this villa had become part of the cursed spirit barrier, and the three people were probably trapped in another space.
Hoshino Nozomi: Conduct reconnaissance and identification.
【Detection and identification, success.】
A green light like smoke and mist appeared under his feet. Hoshino walked deeper into the hall. The sound of his wooden clogs stepping on the floor echoed in the empty corridor. After a while, he stopped in front of a door.
A naginata glowing with deep purple light appeared in his hand. Hoshino Nozomi raised his hand and swung it forward.
【Strength appraisal, success. 】
Thousands of lightning bolts condense into one sword, instantly cutting through the false space!
The barrier of the cursed spirit was broken, revealing the shattered true appearance inside and the three people trapped in the barrier.
Uncontrollable surprise appeared in their eyes. Zenin Maki reacted suddenly and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
It's too late. Zenin Maki's heartbeat stopped.
A spider-web-like black shadow had appeared under the feet of the woman in kimono, and it suddenly built a cage that swallowed her figure. The thick black blocked everyone's vision. Seeing that the sneak attack was successful, the cursed spirit wanted to escape back to the ground and used the same trick again.
Time seemed to stand still.
Zenin Maki knew what the cursed spirit's move meant.
After several fights, she concluded that if she was swallowed by the shadow for more than five seconds, she would be dissolved into nutrients.
The strange woman was in danger.
Zenin Maki didn't know how she got in, but the situation was so urgent that she couldn't spare any extra energy to think.
His eyes were fixed on the dark shadow.
Zenin Maki gripped her naginata tightly, and Inumaki Satoru moved his lips slightly, ready to use the spell.
However, the next moment——
A blinding white light flashed by!
When my vision was taken away, my hearing also lost its function. Several thunderous explosions rang in my ears, numbing my brain.
Amidst the myriad thunders, only one female voice remained clear.
"The glory is unforgivable."
Unlike the powerful sound of thunder, the woman's voice was not harsh, and was even as beautiful as a violin. However, it made people hold their breath and concentrate, unable to have the slightest thought of being offended.
It was as if she was the thunder itself.
...what happened?
After a brief period of blindness, Zenin Maki finally saw her surroundings clearly.
The villa that was once intact has become a ruin, with every part of it charred by lightning. The air is filled with a pungent smell. A woman in a purple kimono stands with a knife in her hand, spotless. She looks at Zenin Maki with no emotion in her eyes, as if she were ice that has not melted for a thousand years.
The woman raised her hands, and the naginata followed her movements, slowly drawing a dangerous arc in the air.
...No, she wasn't looking at herself.
Zenin Maki turned around suddenly and hugged the panda: "This is not a cursed spirit!!!"
“Salmon!!!”
"I'm not a cursed spirit!!!"
Under the panda's terrified eyes, the woman's hand holding the naginata paused. After a few seconds, her cold eyebrows softened suddenly, and her smile was filled with a hint of helplessness: "I'm sorry, did Ying scare you?"
It's so scary... I almost thought we were going to be forced to lay off employees...
Zenin Maki breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she became alert to the abnormality displayed by this man.
The contrast between what happened before and after is so huge, and what he said is so strange, as if he were two different people.
As if to confirm her suspicion, the woman put away her naginata and introduced herself: "My name is Raiden Shin."
"That shadow is..."
"It's my sister."
Zenin Maki was stunned.
The word "dual personality" suddenly popped into her mind.
After realizing this, my thoughts uncontrollably started to associate with her, or their past.
The air became silent for a moment. Zenin Maki looked into Raiden Makoto's gentle light purple eyes and changed the subject: "Thank you for your help. You are the sorcerer who has been very active recently, right?"
As noble as thunder, as beautiful as cherry blossoms, the sorcerer was right, they truly deserved such praise.
"Active?" Raiden smiled and shook his head. "You are probably talking about Ying, right? I am not good at fighting, so Ying usually does it for me."
That's right... If it's a dual personality, one of them is very likely not aware of the existence of the other, and even if they do know, it will be difficult for them to communicate information.
As if he could see what she was thinking, Raiden Shin said, "The shadow knows of my existence."
"We occasionally communicate through pen and paper, but fighting is a dangerous thing. Even though I know that Ying's martial arts are superb and few people can hurt her, I still can't help but worry about her. So, in order not to let me worry, Ying often hides this part of the content. My sister is so stubborn, which makes me very distressed."
Raidenjin sighed slightly and looked at Ichichi who was not far away. "This gentleman seemed to have something to say just now. Why don't you come over and talk?"
Ichichi froze when he was suddenly called. He turned off his phone and walked over to the four people: "Ms. Zhen, thank you for your help."
"You're wrong," Raiden Zhenzhen said, "It was Ying who helped you. I didn't do anything."
Yidizhi changed the subject and said cautiously, "Excuse me, would you like to visit the college? The principal heard about Miss Ying's deeds and wants to meet you."
The sorcerer who was about to pull the rope had a dual personality, one of which claimed that he was not good at fighting. This news was sent by Ichichi to the principal of the Jujutsu High School, Masamichi Yaga.
He knew that Principal Yaga wanted this powerful sorcerer to help, but now an accident has occurred. Ijichi cannot be sure which of the two personalities, "Raiden Shin" and "Raiden Kage", is the main personality, which one occupies the body more time, and whether there are special conditions for personality switching.
Although objectively, one's strength will not change with the switching of personalities, if a personality subjectively believes that "it is not good at fighting", then no matter how strong one's own strength is, it will not be able to be brought into play.
If Raiden, who is not good at fighting, occupies the longest time...
"Ying once mentioned the Jujutsu High School to me. She was also very curious about it. Since the principal has invited me, I have no reason to refuse." Raiden Zhen smiled gently as she looked into Ijichi's eyes. "As a sister, I will not object to Ying's decision."
"Of course, the premise is that it is a decision made by one's own will."
The woman in front of him was still as soft and beautiful as a flower, but when she mentioned Shadow, her tone took on a hint of toughness, as if she was guarding the thorns of a rose.
Those light purple eyes seemed to see through everything, and Yichichi realized that his thoughts were seen through.
He and Principal Ye Moth are thinking about how to use the power of Raiden to exorcise the cursed spirit and allow students to temporarily escape from the high-intensity homework; but what Raiden really cares about is only his sister's safety and mood.
What's more, "not good at fighting" is just Raiden Makoto's own description, and the real situation is still unknown. If you annoy her/them, not only will the college fail to gain help, but it will be counterproductive.
With cold sweat on his forehead and a little guilty, Yidizhi said, "Of course, Principal Yega is an upright person and would never force Miss Ying."
"Please follow me."

High School of Spells.
In the reception room, Yega Masamichi was making tea, and Gojo Satoru was sitting casually on a chair, observing the genius "Spellcaster" who had been receiving special attention from the Rotten Oranges recently.
He placed his hand on the edge of the blindfold and silently curled the corners of his lips.
This person...
Not a sorcerer at all.
