Chapter 109 That projection is not even one ten-thousandth of his. …

Jiang Lai had tested it himself before, and found that switching identities would not cause the summoned spirits to disappear. As long as his spell power was still there, he could maintain the existence of the spirits.

Therefore, at this moment, he can safely switch to his original large size without worrying about Matsuda Jinpei suddenly disappearing and making Fushiguro Megumi surprised and worried.

Jiang Lai easily switched back to his original form in the alley, maintaining the cursed spirit form he had chosen, and immediately sensed the fluctuations of cursed power lingering nearby.

He followed the wave of spell power and landed lightly at the edge of the area.

This is an unfinished realm, and Jiang Lai himself as an [existence] will not be bound, so he walked forward with a normal expression and stepped into the illusion realm.

——

Fushiguro Megumi walked in this area with a solemn expression. After the little sheep Jiang Lai was teleported away, the scene of the moonlit forest disappeared like a mirror flower and water moon.

The surroundings turned back into the original modern streets, with crowds of people bustling around and cars passing by from time to time.

However, he was clearly aware that he had not truly returned to the modern world at this moment.

The surroundings are still the same environment as in this area, but it has returned to the original level.

The black wolfhounds Matsuda Jinpei and Tamakun Shun stood on the left and right sides of Fushiguro Megumi. They both remained vigilant to avoid being suddenly attacked by the master of the illusion, just as they had just done to Watanabe Weilai.

The devil-horned Matsuda Jin usually maintains the meticulousness and sensitivity of a police officer, always paying attention to the fluctuations of cursed power in the air.

As an elf Shikigami, his five senses have been greatly enhanced. At this moment, he could vaguely feel the subtle breath rising from afar. The cursed power was wrapped in a bit of evil and coldness, which appeared briefly and then dissipated.

The jade dog also noticed something. It tensed its body, slowed down its steps, and barked at Fushiguro Megumi.

Matsuda Jinpei said, "The aura of cursed energy over there is a bit strange. Come to think of it, is there anyone else in this illusion?"

Fushiguro Megumi paused for a moment and replied, "My peers and two seniors are probably also in this illusion."

At the same time... that is to say, Yuji Itadori and Norose Kugizaki were also there. Matsuda calmed down and matched the evil and cold cursed energy just now with Ryomen Sukuna.

Only the other party has such a powerful force that can move so far.

Could it be that Ryomen Sukuna just appeared for a moment? Or maybe when Yuji Itadori wasn't paying attention, he slightly broke free from control and showed some strength.

Noticing the thoughtful look on the black wolfhound's face, Fushiguro Megumi said, "What's wrong? Do you have any ideas?"

Because of his ten shadow magic, Fushiguro Megumi also has a natural liking for other shikigami. He does not simply regard the shikigami as a collection of cursed power, but rather as a friend.

If the Jade Dog had not been unable to speak, he would have naturally started to communicate with his Shikigami. Now facing the Shikigami who could speak, Fushiguro Megumi asked as usual.

Although Matsuda Jinpei knew the information from the comics, he could not show it, so he said bluntly: "We are now divided into two groups - in this case, it is better to gather everyone together as soon as possible."

The black wolfhound was holding a cigarette, and his tone was as lazy as usual, but his words were very rational.

"Your shikigami and I can both sense the power of curses more acutely than ordinary people. In this case, you and I will go our separate ways. After we find the others, it will be easier for us to sense each other and reunite."

At this moment, this is an appropriate consideration. Fushiguro Megumi was about to nod, but hesitated.

I am a senior to Watanabe Weilai. If I fail to protect him and let his shikigami dissipate, then...

Matsuda Jinpei has been an adult for a long time and has been undercover in the organization after being resurrected from the dead. He is very sensitive to micro-expressions. Without Fushiguro Megumi saying anything, he guessed what the other person was thinking, so he said:

"If I am attacked and my health is reduced to zero, I will disappear, but I will not dissipate. I can be summoned again next time. There will be no impact."

Unlike Megumi Fushiguro's Shikigami, who will never reappear after disappearing and whose abilities are inherited by other Shikigami, Little Sheep Jiang Lai's Shikigami is very similar to the elves in the game. They will leave the game when their health is reduced to zero, but their cards will not be torn.

After hearing what Matsuda Jinpei said, Fushiguro Megumi's last bit of hesitation faded away, and he nodded calmly to show his agreement.

The two went their separate ways. Matsuda Jinpei followed the cursed energy he sensed, while Fushiguro Megumi continued to lead the jade dog towards the center of the illusion where the cursed energy was the strongest - that was most likely where the illusion caster was. If they wanted to break this illusion, they had to find the source.

Megumi Fushiguro took a step forward, and the scene around him became increasingly blurry as he got closer to the center. It was no longer the clear modern street scene just now, but instead had turned into blurry blocks of color where no entity could be seen clearly.

Sound waves resounded in the air, hitting the eardrums in waves. Fushiguro Megumi gritted his teeth and was not deterred by the threat of these cursed powers. He carefully prepared for the battle.

The next moment, a hideous-looking cursed spirit suddenly jumped out of the air!

Fushiguro Megumi, who was well prepared, acted without hesitation, quickly blocked and counterattacked fully, and the huge cursed spirit was knocked away by his attack!

The moment he raised his hand and let go, the cursed spirit shrouding his vision was blown away again, and the blurry color block in front of his eyes became clear again.

Smoke rose up and ruins were everywhere. The flags on the city walls fluttered violently in the strong wind. Several cursed spirits and human figures chased each other in the ruined ancient buildings.

Fushiguro Megumi was stunned for a second, and then heard an anxious shout in his ear: "Sir! Fushiguro-sama! We can't get out of the city gate, the barrier is blocking it!!"

A strange sorcerer came over with a worried look on his face, sweat dripping down his forehead, and cried out in despair: "Why is this happening? That sir is clearly guarding the [gate] outside the city, so why are there cursed spirits pouring into Heian-kyō Castle?! We can't stop them at all!"

Fushiguro Megumi remained stunned for half a second, then frowned and calmly ordered the jade dog to attack, preparing to dispel the illusion.

When he raised his hand, he noticed that his sleeves were not those of a high school student uniform, but clothes from a thousand years ago. Fushiguro Megumi lowered her head, her long black hair cascading down, the spiky edges of her hair retaining the characteristics of sea urchin hair.

“……!?” Fushiguro Megumi paused.

"Sir? Sir!" the sorcerer was still speaking impatiently, "What should we do?!"

The smell of blood and gunpowder from not far away surged into my nose, and the night wind carried gravel and rubbed against my cheeks, bringing a painful sensation.

In such a disaster, he could not hold on for long. He was about to perform a spell with the idea of ​​dying together, but was stopped by someone who fell from the sky. It was like he was saved by that person again after returning to the moonlit forest.

Memories from thousands of years ago were ripped out from under the dust in his mind, and for a moment, he was a little confused.

But this confusion was only for a moment, as a playful voice seemed to ring in Fushiguro Megumi's ear, "All the redemption money will be put into my card, huh?" The missing modern descendant brought him back to his senses immediately!

Facing this situation, he pursed his lips, first sent out the Jade Dog to break the illusion of the sorcerer, then without hesitation, he formed a seal to summon Man Xiang, intending to do a thorough cleansing of the cursed power -

Just at this moment, a strong wind came from the side, and Fushiguro Megumi narrowly avoided it. Several nails carrying cursed power were deeply embedded in the ground.

An orange-haired girl suddenly appeared. It was Norose Kugizaki, who was wearing a high school student uniform. She attacked without any hesitation.

Fushiguro Megumi quickly hit back, calmly replying: "It's really stupid to imitate the street scene of a thousand years ago while having modern characters appear on the other side of the illusion."

"Huh? On one hand, the shell is using the same appearance as it was a thousand years ago, and on the other hand, you're speaking words that seem to expose an illusion. Do you think I'll be fooled?" Kugizaki No Rose lifted her hair and raised her handsome eyebrows.

The two spoke quickly, and then suddenly paused for a second. They stared at each other warily, with a hint of suspicion on their faces.

Fushiguro Megumi spoke first: "You——"

And Kugizaki Norose spoke even faster: "Are you alive or dead?" As she spoke, she waved her hand to call the jade dog over and started to rub it.

"...What kind of question are you asking?" Fushiguro Megumi was speechless for a moment. Seeing the girl and the jade dog getting along well in front of him, he finally relaxed.

The jade dog, who was more sensitive to cursed energy, eliminated his vigilance. Fushiguro Megumi recognized that the person in front of him was the real Kugizaki No Rose.

"Good girl, Jade Dog - the touch is the same as always, it looks like you are real." Kugizaki No Rose touched me thoroughly, then raised her eyebrows and said, "You didn't recognize me at first? My momentum is far better than the fake ones."

"You didn't recognize me, yet you attacked me right away." Fushiguro Megumi replied calmly and stood up straight.

"Who made you change so much—" Kugizaki Norose looked up and down at Fushiguro Megumi, who was dressed up a thousand years ago, "I thought this illusion had brought back my past memories."

This appearance from a thousand years ago was probably the result of an illusion, but Fushiguro Megumi did not explain this. Instead, he grasped the key point and raised his blue-green eyes: "...You remember? When?"

"Well, it's not particularly clear. But I remember a lot of things from thousands of years ago." Kugizaki Norose raised her head slightly and replied, "Just when I stepped into this place, I had a headache for a while, but it's a little better now."

Megumi Fushiguro opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but in the end he didn't.

Kugizaki No Rose wanted to say something, but before she opened her mouth, a figure suddenly appeared on the scene again!

A black-haired young man in a navy kimono jumped in from outside and saw the tragic scene in Heian-kyō Castle. His body froze. Although his face was covered with mist, he could sense the momentum that the other party had gathered in an instant.

He turned his head, seemed to notice Fushiguro Megumi and the others, and walked towards them.

"Xiu Ji." The other party's voice was gentle but mixed with concern. "What happened?"

Fushiguro Megumi pursed her lips and drove the jade dog to attack!

The opponent dodged and deftly used space magic to ward off the jade dog, but did not attack. His voice was a little surprised and helpless: "What's wrong with you, have you forgotten me?"

Fushiguro Megumi tried her best to keep her head calm, but she was still shaken, mixed with cold anger - she was angry at the caster for using the person in her memory to deceive her.

Past memories are like a galaxy with glass thorns. The beauty of the sparkling waves carries a slight pain of regret, but they are ultimately his flowing past.

At this moment, his memory was being maliciously exploited, and his precious emotions were being covered in a low-quality veil by the enemy. How could he not be angry?

Fushiguro Megumi formed a seal again. The huge Nue that was summoned spread its wings and flew away, thundering and attacking the enemy. At the same time, the Jade Dog that was separated ran forward with a sturdy body!

Nagizaki No Rose held the hammer horizontally, stared at him, and said loudly: "Hey, you bastard! Don't just pretend to be someone else's evil person--"

She caught the nail between her fingers and threw it into the air!

The 'navy blue man' took a step back slightly and fought back with the powerful space curse blade!

The two forces collided violently, and the shock wave made both sides retreat several meters. The surrounding scenery of Heianjing City shook, and the waves were like a disturbed water surface!

Amidst the turmoil, a figure stood steadily on the ruins not far from them.

I don't know when it appeared here.

Fushiguro Megumi, Kugizaki No Rose, and the projection all subconsciously looked over there—

The black-haired, brown-eyed young man wore a faint smile, his expression extremely calm. The ripples of the curse power disappeared around him, without a single wave of wind or ripples passing by.

When he lifted his eyelids and looked at everyone silently, a huge amount of cursed power rushed in densely, bringing an oppressive feeling of coming down from the air.

That projection was not even one ten-thousandth of his.
