Chapter 31: Ming Shen Yong Yong 07
The world seemed to have turned into a huge empty grave. Deathly silence turned into an invisible hand, strangling the throat of the high-level sorcerer.
Gojo Satoru looked at the gloomy sky for a while, then pulled his blindfold down again.
Sure enough, I still couldn't see anything.
Gojo Satoru considered the possibility that Raiden Ying was a user with special abilities, but even if he was a user with special abilities, he would need to use cursed tools to exorcise the cursed spirit.
Neither the lightning itself nor the weapon has any cursed energy. The special celestial phenomenon and lightning just now did not carry any trace of cursed energy, as if all this was a natural coincidence.
But there is no such coincidence in the world.
There is only one possibility - Thunder movies have some close connection with the "thunder" in nature.
Come to think of it, her surname is "Thunder", which is not a common surname.
Is there any metaphor?
Gojo Satoru thought carefully for a while.
I have no idea, can’t figure it out... forget it.
All in all, the weather today is really nice~
Gojo Satoru took out his cell phone, switched it to selfie mode, and made a “yeah” gesture to the camera.
With a "click", the young man in the photo smiled brightly, with the background being a gray sky, a mountain split in half, lightning that stood out from the crowd, and old men with livid faces.
Gojo Satoru pressed the send button.
Zenin Maki: Teacher Ying, I want to learn this!
Panda: Teacher Ying, I want to learn this!
Inugumaki Ji: Teacher Ying, I want to learn this!
Otsutsuki Yuta: Is Gojo-sensei on a mission? Is that woman the Raiden-sensei I mentioned before? Is there such a mountain in Tokyo? Are those people cursers? Why do they look familiar?
Noctua shindo: ………………
Ieiri Glass: Here comes the life.
Ieiri Shoko: I am just a school doctor. Is the workload too heavy? Is there any compensation?
Gojo Satoru transferred the money directly and then put away his phone.
Raidenying stood not far away. Compared with the high-ranking officials who were gathered around her, her clothes were not even stained with a speck of dust. The different shades of purple blended together, swaying in the wind like swaying gentian.
"Xiaoying."
"What?"
Lei Dianying tilted her head with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She responded to the call and did not seem to switch her personality.
When Shin and Shadow switch personalities, there will be a blank period of three to four seconds. This is an uncontrollable flaw. It is okay at ordinary times, but in battle, a moment of relaxation may turn into a fatal mistake.
Shin will switch his personality when he sees the sword "Yume Isshin". Ijichi said that Ying switched his personality after exorcising the cursed spirit last time, but he did not switch this time. Could it be that the opportunity has nothing to do with the battle?
Although I don't intend to reveal Ying's scars on purpose, since I have promised Zhen, I might as well ask him later.
Gojo Satoru: “No, nothing.”
There was doubt in Raiden's eyes, but Gojo Satoru stopped talking. She retracted her gaze and scanned the senior executives who fell to the ground one by one.
The moment the purple lightning touched the sword, a circle of lightning surrounded her body, forcibly clearing the surroundings. Naturally, the senior executive who was originally sitting on the chair was not spared.
To them, everything happened too fast. Before they could figure out what was happening, their bodies were shaken apart by a huge force, as if iron chains were hitting their chests and abdomens heavily, causing bouts of dull pain.
They have lost the ability to escape, and unless they have special techniques, they will become the dead souls under the knife as long as Lei Dianying is willing.
The wooden clogs made a regular "clicking" sound as they stepped on the wooden floor, echoing in the silent open air, like the god of death coming to claim their lives.
"You... ahem... what on earth do you want to..."
The Director of Spells couldn't figure it out.
...Even Gojo Satoru voluntarily followed the rules to a certain extent, but this person...
Lei Dianying said calmly: "Now, what are you going to do?"
There was total silence, and no one dared to be the first to respond.
Their methods are nothing more than the death penalty and wanted notices, but who can they send to carry out the execution? Gojo Satoru?
Ray seemed to see what they were thinking: "Gojo Satoru?"
Gojo Satoru, who was called out by name, assured, "Don't worry, Xiaoying! I will definitely hunt you down with my sweet heart to the ends of the earth!"
Senior management: “…”
"One more thing."
Hoshino glanced at the words on the panel: [Side Quest 6: Find the sorcerer who has come into contact with forbidden knowledge here and retrieve him (unfinished).]
When he asked for a meeting in the beginning, he wanted to gather everyone together to make it easier to find the target.
Who could it be? Was he really present at the meeting? Or was he a sorcerer outside the upper echelons and therefore not present?
Forget it, let’s try it first.
"One of you has touched something you shouldn't have."
Xingye Wang thought about it and said to the system: Conduct intimidation identification.
Like his own level, the intimidation skill level on the Raiden movie character card is not high, and Hoshino Nozomi is not sure whether the identification can be successful. Fortunately, his previous behavior has caused great pressure on everyone's hearts, and the system has lowered the difficulty level of intimidation.
【Intimidation identification, success.】
The tip of the sword was pointing downwards, and the transparent purple color made the long sword look like a fine work of art. However, the senior executives had just seen the power of this sword, and the hill behind them that was split in half seemed to be a symbol of their fate.
Raidenying's light purple eyes were calm and peaceful as she slowly scanned everyone present, like an invisible sword, cutting open their chests.
With a twist of the wrist, the sword slowly spun, revealing its sharp edge——
A senior executive shuddered violently, his eyes filled with horror.
Raidenying walked slowly to his side, and with a "click" sound, the long knife brushed his arm and stabbed straight into the floor.
The cold blade exuded a biting chill, like solid ice that had not melted for ten thousand years, freezing the soul. Then, slender jade-like fingers touched his forehead.
【Mission accomplished.】
【Recycling is successful, do you want to check the memory?】
【yes.】
After a moment of darkness, the picture slowly unfolds.
The man in front of him had long and thin eyebrows and was quite tall. He was wearing a monk's robe and his black hair was half tied up in a bun at the back of his head.
The seam said: "A cursed spirit that can be reborn infinitely... Very interesting, isn't it? For thousands of years, only Tianyuan can achieve immortality through a special ritual."
"Cursed spirits and humans may have something in common."
What the owner of the memory pushed over was a cube covered with talisman papers.
"The curse you need, [Hell Gate]."
Hoshino Nozomi sorted out the process.
The young man in Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's memory passed the remaining pages of forbidden knowledge to someone else - the Seam Thread, and then the Seam Thread revealed a part of it in exchange for the "Hell Gate Border".
The infinitely reborn cursed spirit is indeed the result of forbidden knowledge. This high-level official is still quite clear-minded, and I'm afraid he has only known about it for a short time. Judging from the time, it is unlikely that he would be directly involved in the transformation of the cursed spirit.
So, the status quo is a masterpiece of seams.
More and more questions arise.
What is the Hell Gate, who is the Seam, what does he want to do with the Hell Gate, and why did he create the cursed spirit of infinite rebirth?
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko killed Canye because he had no interest in anything except the "White Tiger". What was the reason for the young man in the white hat?
The memory had been extracted by the system, and Hoshino Nozomi could no longer ask. Amid the puzzled and horrified looks of the senior executives, he jumped out of the ruins and came to Gojo Satoru's side.
After escaping danger and the battle round was completely over, Hoshino Nozomi started a new round of will appraisal, and the result was not unexpected.
【The will is determined and failed. 】
Now, he couldn't immediately discuss his memory with Gojo Satoru.
At the moment, Raiden really has no idea that Ying is looking for a special item, and she has no memory of what happened just now. Now, Hoshino Nozomi can only wait for a suitable opportunity, switch personalities, and then talk to Gojo Satoru.
Lei Dianying's steps suddenly slowed down, and Gojo Satoru asked, "Xiaozhen?"
"Yes, it's me. Nice to see you again, Gojo-kun," Raiden Shin smiled slightly, "How long has it been?"
"It's only been one night."
Gojo Satoru briefly explained what happened. He paused, remembered what Rai said in the movie, "Don't tell your sister", and ignored her previous words "You touched something you shouldn't have touched", and continued to walk out.
"But today, even I was shocked."
"Why? Is Xiaoying angry with you?" Lei Dianzhen asked jokingly.
"No one is willing to lose their temper with me," Gojo Satoru was quite confident. He smiled, "I just didn't expect that Xiaoying would directly split a mountain and hurt the old guys."
"It can be considered a permanent solution."
High-level spells are like the bark of a willow in the bushes in the fields. If you are not careful, it will hook your clothes tightly. Even if it doesn't hurt anyone, it will still make people feel annoyed.
"Besides, this is already showing mercy to Ying."
"That's incredible."
Lei Dianzhen accepted the compliment with a smile: "Do you want to go back to the technical college?"
"No, it's a rare day that we don't have any missions, let's go buy some desserts first!"
"Oh? You like sweets too? Xiaoying likes it too."
Raiden was really surprised. She agreed to Gojo Satoru's request like a gentle and tolerant older sister: "What do you do after buying the desserts?"
"There are some things I want to discuss with you."
"It's about Xiaoying." Lei Dian really understood and did not refuse.
She and Gojo Satoru came to the shopping street.
Gojo Satoru had a clear goal and walked into a store with ease. It was obvious that he had been there many times before. It was working hours and there were few people in the store. Apart from the staff, there was only a young man with black hair and blue eyes wearing a brown hat standing by the counter.
He seemed to have finished his shopping and was walking out. Gojo Satoru pushed open the door, and as they passed by, the young man turned his head and glanced at Raiden Shin.
Raiden really had no interest in desserts, but she still stood in front of the counter, asked Gojo Satoru's opinion, and selected a few for Ying.
The clerk was packing up when the doorbell rang again. The young man who had just left the store suddenly returned to the store. With a clear goal in mind, he stood directly in front of Lei Dianzhen and said in all seriousness, "There's a criminal."
Lei Dian smiled good-naturedly and asked gently, "What kind of prisoner is it?"
"The detective doesn't know," the young man puffed up his cheeks in a threatening tone, "it's the invisible criminal."
