Chapter 303: A Little Luckier "Actually, Gojo...
"Actually, what Gojo said just now is correct. This thing is like a detector."
The player, who had already roughly mastered the use of mana, blinked, injected a trace of mana into the item, pointed at the item that resembled blooming petals, and said, "This is the activation mode!"
"Huh? It only requires this little cursed energy to use?" Gojo Satoru said in surprise. "From this point of view, it's much more powerful than most cursed tools."
It turns out that what she said before was not bragging...
Thinking of the confident words spoken by the black-haired, golden-eyed girl, Gojo Satoru's eyes flashed unconsciously under his sunglasses, but no one noticed.
"This tiny fluctuation of cursed energy looks no different from a fourth-level fly..." Geto Suguru, who had also observed the overall changes in the item, pondered for a moment before asking, "What exactly is the function of this thing?"
"Hey, I'm going to trouble you, Jie!" The player asking for help curled his long hair and even spoke in a more intimate tone. "Jie, release a few cursed spirits of different levels and try~"
The player took several props from the white-haired boy and placed them in front of the black-haired boy, looking at him with sparkling eyes.
Geto Suguru raised his eyebrows, took the props handed to him by Aurora, and summoned cursed spirits of different levels one by one as she wished.
The first is the third-level curse spirit, which is formed from various emotions condensed from surveillance and is generally used by the owner for surveillance and tracking.
It seemed that the prop was special, and the appearance of the curse spirit instantly caused it to react - as the blooming mechanical petals opened and closed, the originally black prop gradually turned blue.
The black-haired girl, who looked oddly academic behind her glasses, nodded, pulled out her laptop, and decisively recorded the data. "Based on this, blue temporarily represents a level three curse spirit."
"Next." The player signaled Geto Suguru to continue.
The next colors displayed by the props are yellow, orange and... red.
"So that's level two, level one, and special!" The player nodded with satisfaction and gave a thumbs-up to Summoner Geto Suguru. "You've got to be the one, Geto! Where else would I find so many different levels of cursed spirits at once?"
"So this is a device for detecting the level of cursed spirits..." Ieiri Naoko exclaimed, "It seems very convenient."
"That's right, I used a rather complicated program. After doing this and that... Anyway, it will automatically select the cursed spirit with the strongest power within ten meters to record its information."
"Once the number of detected curse spirits reaches a certain level, we'll discard the highest and lowest values and take the average of the two as the standard for the curse spirit's level." The player put away his computer and looked at the three curious heads in front of him with a smile. "But this is just a test product. A lot of information needs to be input in the early stages to ensure that there will be no major errors in the subsequent judgment of the curse spirits."
"For now, I'll have to rely on my reliable classmates for this!" The player blinked. "That being said, this is, after all, a temporary product rushed out overnight..."
"What do you think of this?"
Gojo Satoru: “Hmm…”
Geto Summer Oil: "Hmm..."
Ieiri Glass: "Hmm..."
Player: “…”
"Damn it, you guys, stop keeping us in suspense!" The player grabbed a lucky guy and started shaking him violently. "It's just a matter of one sentence!"
"Well, from a conceptual point of view, it's a really good thing, Aurora, especially considering that the amount of cursed energy required to activate it is so minimal that almost any ordinary person can use it. But—" Gojo Satoru relaxed his shoulders, rested one hand on the chair, and crossed his legs, turning and saying, "But the scope of use of this thing should be limited to cursed spirits below level one."
"Special-grade cursed spirits have their own differences~~" Gojo Satoru said with a slight smile on his lips.
The player, who knew nothing about this, tilted his head and shifted his gaze to the brown-haired girl in confusion.
"I think Gojo is talking about the 'domain,'" she said, noticing Aurora's confused gaze. Ieiri Naoko put down her food, wiped her hands, and explained, "Special-grade cursed spirits are called special-grade cursed spirits because, besides their superior curse power, some of them possess skills that ordinary cursed spirits cannot—called 'domains.'"
"Once the domain is deployed, it not only blesses the environment within its radius, but also guarantees a hit. The unleashed curse power is much stronger than usual," Ieiri Shoko continued. "This is probably why Gojo decided not to include special-grade cursed spirits. It might affect the collected data."
"Also, the characteristics of cursed spirits can vary depending on the circumstances of their birth..." Suguru Jie added hesitantly, "perhaps even more complicated situations may arise."
"Okay, a tool that can't solve a problem isn't a good tool, but with a little modification it can effectively monitor cursed spirits below level one... Let's temporarily call it the Gojo Geto Limited Edition Practical Detector." The player ignored the protesting glances from both sides and decided on the name of the item with finality.
"Wait, why is it called that? It's so ugly!" Gojo Satoru, who was quite cheerful to a certain extent, scratched his hair and frowned. "No, no, how can my name appear on this device in this form? I protest!"
"Because only the special-grade curse spirits can't be used, and you two are the only special-grade curse masters I know..."
"Whatever. I'm the producer, and I have the final say." The player pushed up his glasses and retorted in a deep voice, "For various reasons, I declare... Gojo Satoru's protest invalid!"
After saying that, the players, fearing that Gojo Satoru would continue to cause trouble, quickly put away their items and turned around and ran away!

"Then I still have the right to reputation... Aurora, stop right there!!!" Gojo Satoru, who had only done this in the past and occasionally asked Jie to do it, and had never expected Aurora to do this, stood up quickly and soon disappeared like the black-haired girl.
"...I haven't said anything yet." Victim number two, the unlucky one whose name was also borrowed, Geto Suguru, complained helplessly.
"Well, if you want to resist, you have to catch up with those two now." Ieiri Naoko looked at the path where the two left with a smile, then stood up.
"? Don't you want to sit for a while, Naoko?" asked Geto Suguru, a little puzzled. "It's only a little after noon now, right?"
"The morning's leisure is exchanged for the afternoon. I have to see a lot of patients transferred from other places in a hurry this afternoon, so I don't have much leisure time." Ieiri Naoko turned her back to the black-haired boy and waved her hand, "Then I'll trouble you to clean up the mess, Geto?"
"Otherwise, Mr. Ye Moth will start nagging us again—"
"Ah, it's okay, leave it to me." Even though he knew that Ieiri Shoko couldn't see it, Geto Suguru still nodded.
Soon, Geto Suguru was the only one left in the huge courtyard.
After cleaning up the mess, looking at Gojo Satoru and Aurora who were still nowhere to be found, Geto Satsuki got up and left with the garbage bag.
After throwing the garbage bag into the trash can, his lowered arm accidentally touched the pocket of his shirt, and the strange touch disturbed his thoughts - it was the cursed spirit ball he collected from the tasks this morning.
The boy with a bun-like hairstyle and bangs on one side swallowed unnaturally and then retched instinctively.
Coming to a deserted corner, he took out the inky black curse ball from his pocket with his fingertips, and was instantly invaded by the biting cold. When he held it tightly in his palm, the sticky feel made him feel physically and mentally uncomfortable, and he just wanted to escape quickly.
Geto Suguru remained calm, obviously already accustomed to the touch of this kind of cursed spirit ball. The more powerful the cursed spirit, the more terrifying, disgusting and difficult to swallow the cursed spirit ball they formed would be. Today, only one of them was a first-level cursed spirit, which was already a good situation.
Geto Suguru couldn't help but recall the time when he recaptured the Rainbow Dragon - when he swallowed the cursed spirit ball representing the Rainbow Dragon, the first thing he smelled was the smell of rotten garbage mixed with slop, canned herring with added ingredients, and an unknown amount of vomit, followed by the smell of a dirty rag accompanied by the cursed power used to resist.
Under the gaze of her best friend, in order not to make him worry, she could only suppress the urge to vomit and the bile that was about to boil up, and appeared calm and relaxed to show him that she was at ease.
But he was alone now, and the cursed spirit he needed to swallow wasn't a special grade one...
It's all about executing his ideas.
Thinking of this, Xia Yujie no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and put the curse ball into his mouth...
Geto Summer Oil: “?!!!”
"Why..." The black-haired boy opened his eyes in disbelief and looked at the curse ball in his hand. It was still the same inky black color and still had a thick and sticky texture. "Why did the taste change..."
And the taste is sour and spicy... It feels like the taste of the candy that Wu just stuffed into his mouth!
Could it be that...
Unconvinced, Geto Xiayou stuffed another curse ball into his mouth, and after a pause, he stuffed another one.
"Surprisingly... they all smell the same..." Geto Xia Yu lowered his head, leaned against the wall, and slid down along with the force, but stopped when he was about to touch the cold floor. He put his hands on his face to hide the expression on his eyebrows.
Time passed by little by little, when the ants in the distance lined up in regular rows, when the birds in the trees had returned home, and when the surroundings returned to silence and peace, bursts of laughter coming from nowhere completely broke this harmonious scene, causing waves.
"It's really... something that is totally unimaginable..." The whispering voice gradually dissipated with the owner's movements, and only the handprints on the moss showed the traces of the visitor.
…
…
On the other side, the player who had used a special method to get rid of Gojo Satoru but found himself in a completely unfamiliar place blinked his eyes, looked at the people around him who were discussing passionately, had pale faces, were calm, or praying to the sky, and walked closer to this seemingly lively place with some interest.
