Chapter 33 Ming Shen Yong Yong 09
In a private room in the restaurant.
The four of them sat together, and Lei Dianying looked at the volcano head in front of him with an unfriendly look.
Her fingers on the table were slightly curled, and it seemed that she had to use a lot of effort to restrain herself from taking action.
"Yes, yes, it's because of him that Xiaozhen found out about this," Gojo Satoru pointed at Louhu, gnashing his teeth in grief, "Xiaoying, it's all his fault!"
"Hey!" Louhu gritted his teeth, "I didn't do anything!"
Gojo Satoru was very annoyed by his words: "You are still trying to make excuses. This white-haired boy and the famous detective who loves to cosplay as a superpower have witnessed it all!"
Nakajima Atsushi, who was trying hard to minimize his presence, was startled: "Huh? I, I... uh..."
He still didn't understand what was going on.
A few minutes ago, he finally found the lost Ranpo, but was forced to listen to a riddle. Before he could figure it out, Gojo Satoru teleported in front of him with a head, and Miss Raiden Shin inexplicably turned into Miss Raiden Ying, and Mr. Ranpo forcibly pulled him to sit in the box.
Compared to the restrained Nakajima Atsushi, Edogawa Ranpo seemed much more relaxed. He ate the snacks he had bought earlier and muttered, "Ranpo-sama can't see."
Lei Dianying suddenly said, "You can see it."
Gojo Satoru understood what he meant: "Wait a minute, what are you talking about?"
He disappeared in an instant, and when he came back, he had a pair of glasses in his hands.
"Though I did want to find a special pair of glasses for him," Raiden said hesitantly, "If I'm not mistaken, these are Maki's glasses, right? Did she agree?"
Gojo Satoru took off Edogawa Ranpo's black-framed glasses and handed him the curse tool. "Don't worry, Maki readily lent it to me. It's a rare honor that Gojo-sensei has come forward."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Dianying's phone vibrated.
She opened the message.
Zenin Maki: [Teacher Shadow!!!]
Zenin Maki: [That idiot eyepatch guy stole my glasses!!!]
Lei Movie: "..."
She decided to pretend she didn't see it.
"I will find a way to solve my sister's problem," Lei Dianying said seriously, "Let's deal with the matter at hand first."
As the first person to discover the coral reef, Edogawa Ranpo naturally explained the discovery process - he came out of the snack shop, the temperature around him suddenly rose rapidly, as if the air was ignited, but he did not see any strange people.
"Then it can only be a cursed spirit." Edogawa Ranpo waved his hands.
Lou Hu snorted coldly, with disdain in his eyes.
"This guy looks like a volcano," Gojo Satoru rolled Louhu's head, "You felt the temperature rise, which means he wanted to kill you at that time."
Edogawa Ranpo calmly agreed, but Nakajima Atsushi was shocked and thanked the two again as if he had survived a disaster.
"But why would he want to hurt Mr. Ranpo? They don't have any hatred, right?"
"Because cursed spirits are born from human negative emotions, they are inherently hostile to humans. Am I right?" Gojo Satoru looked at Rohu.
Lou Hu snorted again, but did not deny it.
In fact, he not only hates humans, but also wants to create a world where only cursed spirits exist. Weak humans should be eliminated, and cursed spirits are the new humans who deserve to be.
Interestingly, he met the sorcerer Geto Summer Oil not long ago.
Among the group of intelligent cursed spirits, Geto Suguru, who possesses the [Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique] that is rare in a thousand years, is, to some extent, even more famous than Gojo Satoru, who possesses the six eyes.
And he actually wanted to cooperate with Louhu.
Geto Suguru needs to use his power to increase the success rate of his plan to seal Gojo Satoru and resurrect the legendary curse king Ryomen Sukuna. If Rougo wants to achieve his goal, killing Gojo Satoru and destroying the curse world is also a necessary step.
Louhu also showed some interest in this unconventional magician. After agreeing, Xia Yujie learned about several other special cursed spirits with wisdom through his introduction.
The flower shrine was born from humanity's fear of the forest, the tortoise was born from humanity's fear of the ocean, and the true man was born from humanity's fear of himself.
At this moment, Xia Yujie should have gone to where the real person is.
I heard that Geto Suguru was once a close friend of Gojo Satoru? If he knew that his best friend had gone through so much trouble just to seal him, how would Gojo Satoru react?
Louhu stared at Gojo Satoru with sinister eyes and was about to open his mouth to mock him, but stopped when he heard a female voice.
"I see, I understand," Raikage pondered for a moment, "Gojo Satoru, I have something to tell you."
She told Gojo Satoru the information about the prison camp and the "Seamless Line", hiding the fact that she could read memories.
Ranpo Edogawa and Atsushi Nakajima did not suspect anything, but Gojo Satoru, who was at the scene at the time, noticed something was wrong.
He realized the problem, but instead of pointing it out, he remained silent and only talked about the function of the prison gate.
This is an extremely powerful sealing spell tool. As long as the conditions for use are met - the target stays within a four-meter radius and spends one minute in the brain, it can seal everything.
As for the "seam line", Gojo Satoru had no impression of it either.
Louhu's eyes rolled around, his movements subtle.
Edogawa Ranpo suddenly said with certainty: "Gojo Satoru knows the 'seam line'."
"Me?" Gojo Satoru stroked his chin, "It can't be the teachers or students of the technical high school, or those rotten oranges."
"No, he is someone you are very close to, a close friend, or a close brother or sister."
Gojo Satoru's hand froze in mid-air.
He does not have any very close brothers or sisters. His two best friends during his student days were Ieiri Shoko, who is now under protection in a technical high school, and Geto Suguru, who was wanted as a curser and was killed by him after he founded the Bandei Cult.
A few months ago, Xia Yujie died.
Gojo Satoru's silence was unexpected. Seeing his expression, Raiden Ying basically believed what Edogawa Ranpo said, but she still asked, "Detective Mei, do you have any basis for this?"
As soon as she said this, she changed her mind. The cold blade brushed past Louhu's cheek and pierced into the wooden table, making a startling "click" sound, as if the tip of the knife was not piercing the wood, but the head of the cursed spirit.
She lowered her head, her purple eyes as cold as jade: "Speak."
Louhu, who had always been irritable when facing Gojo Satoru, now remained silent, strangely silent.
But he did not deny that this was enough for everyone.
"Are you here at his behest?"
Louhu finally spoke, his voice was hoarse and contained only the word "no".
As a special grade cursed spirit, being interrogated by humans is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing. If it were someone else, even if he was at a disadvantage, Louhu would still make a few mockery.
But now, even keeping silent required him to exert all his courage.
Because of the woman in front of me.
He had to admit, he was scared.
The seeds of fear took root and sprouted at an alarming speed.
The perception of power of cursed spirits, especially special cursed spirits, is far superior to that of ordinary people. This may be a talent unique to non-human creatures, helping them to avoid natural enemies and seek benefits and avoid harm. At this moment, this talent once again played a role.
The invisible power was as powerful as the sea, filling the entire box. It was imperceptible to humans, but it almost suffocated Louhu.
If Loko was born from human beings' fear of the earth, then Raiden is the earth itself. Rather than cursed power, it is more like the embodiment of the power of nature.
You're right, this is definitely not the aura a human being should have.
Lou Hu said in a difficult tone: "You...are you..."
Raiden Ying frowned, and Edogawa Ranpo added, "He's scared."
The cursed spirit felt an uncontrollable fear, and Lei Denying did not show any surprise at his words.
She thought Lou Hu's fear was natural.
Edogawa Ranpo thought a lot in an instant.
When Lei Dianying drew her sword, purple lightning flashed on the sword. Her ability is related to thunder.
According to Dazai Osamu, Wendy is a wind spirit born from the wind. According to normal logic, Raito should also be a spirit born from the element of thunder.
As a non-human, made up of cursed power and fear, even the top cursed spirits are afraid of her, which shows that Wendy and Ray's power and status are naturally higher than those of the cursed spirits.
And they know this clearly.
What will they be?
A big monster, or...a god?
There has always been a saying in Japan that there are "eight million gods in Takamagahara", but if you know enough about myths and legends around the world, you will know that the gods in Japanese legends can only be called "monsters" according to the standards of other regions.
For example, the sword art Fukunojin, although it has the word "God" in it, it is actually a spirit or a ghost.
Moreover, no matter where the gods in the legend come from, one thing they have in common is that they need to gain the faith of mankind, but the movie "Wendy and Ray" does not have this feature - at least on the surface.
Edogawa Ranpo's gaze fell on Raiden Ying.
He still needs the other party to reveal more information.
"Why—"
"Mr. Ranbu," Thunder Shadow glanced at him slowly, his eyes covered with a layer of frost and snow, "Not only me, but Wendy should have told you more than once."
"Some things don't need to be investigated deeply."
Her voice was soft, steady, graceful, and unhurried, but to everyone's ears it sounded like thunder on a summer night, ripping through the tranquil night. It made people unable to help but feel frightened and want to curl up back in the safety of their bedding.
Nakajima Atsushi's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to release his supernatural power. Edogawa Ranpo suddenly held him down and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly: "Ah, it's true."
Lei Dianying no longer paid attention to them. She reached out and grabbed Louhu's head, stood up, and said to Gojo Satoru who was lost in thought: "Gojo-kun, I think I understand. Let's go back to the high school first."
"As for these two, let's say goodbye now."
The door slammed shut.
Edogawa Ranpo stared at the damaged part of the wooden table.
Wendy has always been a loner, and although Rai Denying is also dissatisfied with their exploration, she has always been with Gojo Satoru and is even willing to discuss things with him.
Do they need to rely on his power, or is it because that person will not try to explore the hidden truth like them?
Ranpo Edogawa checked the second option.
His behavior just now was too aggressive. He always spoke directly and rarely showed mercy to others, but facing the existence of the likes of Lei Dianying, if he continued to act as usual, the final result would be the same as just now.
Inside the private room, Nakajima Atsushi breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Mr. Ranpo, what should we do next?"
"Don, call the detective agency and tell them that if there is no particularly urgent case, we will stay for a few more days."
"Okay, Mr. Ranpo."

In the office of the principal of Jujutsu High School, Yega Masamichi stood by the window, looking at the lush green mountains in the distance.
He lowered his head and looked at the photos on his phone again.
There is nothing to say about the righteousness of the moth.
There was a knock on the door and he said "Come in". Raidenying and Gojo Satoru walked in one after the other, but Yega Masamichi's eyes fell on the volcano head in Raidenying's hand.
That was the head of the cursed spirit, and the owner of the head had not been removed yet, and the big eyes were looking at him without blinking.
The moth follows the right path and has a calm mind.
However, Lei Dianying's next words made him turn around abruptly: "Kayou Jie is not dead?!"
