Chapter 42: Ming Shen Yong Eternal 18

Five minutes ago.

Raiden Movie is exorcising the curse.

She turned her wrist and used her skill to move the blade, and the naginata drew a sharp arc in the air. The purple lightning that was attracted gathered and turned into a sharp blade for reaping lives. In an instant, it pierced the huge body of the cursed spirit like a mountain.

After a loud thunder, the battle ended.

The dancing purple lightning restrained its violent power and surrounded her like a light and nimble butterfly.

Raikage put away his naginata and stared at the cursed spirit that was gradually dissipating.

Special grade cursed spirits are a nuisance to other sorcerers, so she and Gojo Satoru reach an agreement that ordinary cursed spirits can be exorcised normally first, and the special grade cursed spirits can be temporarily sealed.

System: [Will identification, success.]

...It succeeded again.

Hoshino Mochi found it difficult to judge whether his luck in the past few days was good or bad. Objectively speaking, the probability of successful identification several times in a row was so small that he thought he could try to buy a lottery ticket and win, but this did cause him a lot of trouble.

If "Raiden Shin" does not appear, he will not be able to continue the normal and less difficult "loving family" script. For several days in a row, every time he returns from a mission, not only Gojo Satoru, but even the students look at him differently.

For example, now, Gou Juanji on the side is about to say something but stops himself from saying it again.

Hoshino Nozomi answered first: "No."

There was no personality switching and the sister did not appear.

Goujuanji closed his mouth completely, but his eyes were still following the purple figure.

Hoshino Mochi ignored it for the moment and said to the system in his heart: "Conduct detection and identification."

【Detection and identification, success.】

His eyes suddenly went dark, and the already dim cave turned into a gray silhouette. Several smoky green lights spread out in the air like fireworks blooming in the night sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, blending into the air without a trace.

Xing Yewang was not surprised either.

Since the anomaly occurred, he would conduct an investigation after each battle, and the results of the investigation were always the same - the cursed spirit's magic power quietly merged into the air and no one knew where it went.

Zhenren and Louhu are still sealed inside the academy. They have not had much contact with the noose - because they were arrested before they had the chance to have more contact - and they also don't know the truth. At most, they feel something is a little strange, but they can't explain why.

...Sure enough, the only way now is to "find the noose".

The sound of a bell suddenly filled the cave, mixed with the sound of falling rocks.

Hoshino Nozomi picked up the phone and answered the call from Ranpo Edogawa.

The detective's tone was as bright and cheerful as ever, and at this moment, he even had some undisguised pride in his voice: "Although we haven't found the trace of the noose, Lord Ranpo has found an accomplice!"

Ango Sakaguchi promptly sent photos and information. In the database of the Special Service Department, the two people were named Nanako and Mimiko. They were suspected to be the children brought back from the village when Kagome Geto massacred the villagers, and were subsequently raised by Kagome Geto.

"Suspected?"

"This happened more than ten years ago. The facilities in the mountain village were backward, there was no surveillance, and the security was lax. The reason why we could determine that it was done by Geto Suguru was because the sorcerer identified the 'disfigurement'," Sakaguchi Ango's voice came from the other end. "The Special Agent Department also relied on various information later to barely identify the identity."

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not bad……"

Before Sakaguchi Ango finished speaking, Edogawa Ranpo's voice came in again: "We can't go on like this."

Hoshino Nozomi: “…I understand.”

Sakaguchi Ango: "Indeed, it would be the best if we could use them as a breakthrough point, but things may not be so smooth. Maybe they themselves are the discarded pieces of the noose."

Edogawa Ranpo: "There's no need to say something that everyone knows. We're not stupid."

Sakaguchi Ango: "So what are you talking about?"

He didn't know what was going on with Raiden Zhen, and there was confusion in his eyes. Edogawa Ranpo snorted softly and didn't tell him - Raiden Ying would probably not let him say it out loud either.

As expected, Lei Dianying replied coldly: "Private matter."

"I will go and confirm the matter about the two of them. So, goodbye."

Her voice was as cold as a spring, and she seemed to be in a bad mood. Just when Sakaguchi Ango thought she would hang up the phone, Raiden Ying suddenly spoke again: "Leave it to me during this time."

After saying that, she hung up the phone decisively.

Sakaguchi Ango looked at Edogawa Ranpo, but the famous detective just stretched and sat back on the sofa: "Don't look at her, she told us to have a good rest."

Sakaguchi Ango: “…Did you say that?”

Edogawa Ranpo gave him a look that said "Are you an idiot?", grabbed the pillow and stopped explaining.

While talking to Lei Dianying, he heard the sound of falling rocks in the background, and Gojumaki Satoru whispered "Stop" - the spellcaster from the high school was stopping the falling rubble from rolling.

Thunder Movie is on a mission and has just finished a battle.

In other words, lightning still did not appear.

...Even if it's just a gamble, it takes too long.

This world always likes to make simple things complicated, and then make complicated things difficult to resolve. When it is too late to reverse the situation, people will regret that “it was such a simple thing”.

Edogawa Ranpo pulled at the fluff on the pillow.

"I'm going to be bald," Sakaguchi Ango's eyes twitched, "Let go of the pillow."

"You're right," Edogawa Ranpo put down the pillow and decided to wait and see what would happen, "so Ranpo-sama should eat some coarse snacks."

"Where is the cause and effect?!" After Ango Sakaguchi finished complaining, he did not forget to send the same information to Gojo Satoru.

"Anyway, Ranbu-sama wants to eat."

“…I’ll have someone buy it.”

*

Lei Dianying put away his phone and said, "Let's go."

Inujuan Ji nodded.

Lei Dianying: "You don't have to follow."

"Wooden fish flower."

“I don’t understand.”

"Wooden fish flower."

Lei Dianying said nothing more and continued walking out.

Goujuanji looked at the purple figure in embarrassment and sighed in his heart: Teacher Ying clearly understood.

Due to the limitations of his talent for spells, Gojumaki Satoru can hardly communicate normally with people, but uses rice ball fillings for daily communication. It may be difficult to understand what he means when you first meet him, but after spending a few days with him and considering the situation, you can basically guess what he means.

Prior to this, his communication with Lei Films was also very smooth.

...Gojo-sensei is right. Ying-sensei is really not good at lying.

When Lei Dianying said "you don't have to come with us", she was not only talking to him, but also to the senior experts who had accompanied her on missions in the past and in the future.

They all knew Lei Dianying's strength and understood that she would not encounter any danger. In other words, if she really encountered a danger that Lei Dianying could not solve, it would be even less likely that they could help. However, after discussing it, several students chose to take turns accompanying Teacher Ying on the mission.

They would have done so even without Gojo Satoru's request.

At that time, the three of them were sitting in a classroom on the upper floor, watching Lei Dianying come back from outside the school and walk step by step towards the staff dormitory.

The sky was gloomy and soon it began to rain. The dense, silky drizzle fell quietly on Lei Dianying's hair, quickly wetting her temples and collar, and moistening her long, crow-feather-like eyelashes.

But she seemed unaware.

Lei Dianying just walked alone in the silent campus, without even the pace of his steps changing at all.

Just like now.

Goujuanji raised his hand and caught a drop of falling rain.

The weather in Tokyo has not been very good these days. The sky is covered with dark clouds and there is a drizzle from time to time. Although it is not heavy, it is really annoying.

Goujuanji opened the umbrella, took a few quick steps, and moved the umbrella toward Lei Dianying's side.

"You're putting the cart before the horse," Lei Dianying looked ahead and finally spoke, "Yemo Zhengdao came to me because he wanted you to get the rest and exercise time you deserve."

“Salmon.”

"Since you know that, you shouldn't follow me around everywhere, even if it's taking turns..."

A notebook appeared in front of me: [It doesn’t matter.]

“…Neither…Hmm?”

Gou Juanji held an umbrella in one hand and turned to the next page with difficulty: [We think this is good, don't worry.]

“Is this written in advance?”

Dog Curl did not deny: "Salmon."

Raiden was silent for a moment and continued walking out.

"I have only known you for a few days," she said softly, "Why?"

Goujuanji didn't give a good answer this time.

The three of them had not anticipated this problem. He was holding an umbrella and could not write.

"Of course, because we are all part of the college."

Lei Dianying suddenly stopped and looked at the unexpected visitor.

Gojo Satoru put one hand in his pocket and said, "Are you surprised? Gojo-sensei picked you up personally. You must be so happy that you want to cry."

"Sakaguchi and the others have also sent you the information, right?"

“So cold!”

"..." Raidenying closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she said softly, "Thank you."

"What?" Gojo Satoru leaned closer, "I didn't hear it."

"Go ask Gojuan."

Goujuan: “…” He could only say rice ball fillings.

Lei Dianying: "We have something to deal with, Goujuan, you can go back to the high school by yourself."

Gojo Satoru nodded and said, "That's right. Now it's time for the teachers to have some free time. Students who are not interested please stay away."

After he finished speaking, he immediately disappeared with Raiden Kage. When they arrived at the scene, Gojo Satoru said, "I have another mission, so I have to leave first."

"good."

"See you later~"

Gojo Satoru left quickly, but Hoshino Nozomi did not take any immediate action.

He thought that the college was a magical place.

...No, I should say, they are a group of amazing people.

System: [How do you feel? ]

Hoshino Nozomi: "I... am not annoying."

He took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, and returned to the state of Lei Dian Cinema.

However, before conducting the investigation and identification, Hoshino Nozomi noticed two unusual people.

They were wearing the same copper-red uniforms and large, cumbersome capes, and Hoshino Nozomi recognized them as the clothing style of the "hounds" that Sakaguchi Ango had mentioned.

One of the young men with dyed white hair tilted his head slightly and looked in the direction of Xing Yewang.

But he had his eyes closed; he was blind.

The two members of "Hound" were whispering to each other.

Hoshino Nozomi: Conduct an audition and appraisal.

【Listen and judge, succeed. 】

"What's wrong? Tiaoye."

“I heard a heartbeat.”

"Well, there's someone new coming."

"……people?"

Tiaoye Caiju wondered how it was possible for humans to have such a precise heartbeat frequency, as accurate as a moving second hand.
