Chapter 321 Hospital Incident: Taking a deep sip of strawberry beef...
Taking a deep sip of strawberry milk, the player began today's reflection (crossed out) summary meeting.
"Judging from the current results, the whereabouts of that Sharp-Toothed Brain are quite widespread, and he has already caused harm to quite a number of people." Ieiri Glass, who changed her name under the influence of Aurora, took out a map covered with various writings and drawings, and said with a rare serious expression.
I originally thought that the person who needed to be dealt with was just an ordinary curse master, but I didn't expect that it was related to an extremely evil curse master from more than a hundred years ago, and there were so many victims involved.
"This, this, and this have all been ruled out by Gojo and Geto," Ieiri Naoko continued, crossing out a new spot. "This is the area Aurora has ruled out. After checking all of these... this is the only area left."
The brown-haired girl holding a lollipop pointed at the area marked with a question mark with a focused look.
"As for the rescued victims... I've already made arrangements."
With the capital provided by the leader, Elena rapidly expanded her dessert shop and acquired a private hospital. She waved the documents in her hand and said, "With the excellent medical equipment provided by Chiyo, some of the prisoners have already woken up. However, out of caution, I haven't allowed them to leave the hospital. Instead, they are being kept for observation."
"About this number." Elena gestured.
"That's a great arrangement. From what we've seen so far, the curse caster's methods are incredibly difficult to defend against, so we really need to be cautious." The player nodded to Elena and said, "Gojo and I will go over there tonight to rule out the possibility that they've been cursed."
Gojo Satoru raised his chin and had no objection to Aurora's decision.
but……
"There must be others whose brains were tampered with by that person, right?" Gojo Satoru asked. "What about those people? Why isn't there any mention of them?"
He remembered that when he and Jay counted the number of victims, it seemed that there was more than this number?
Geto Xiayou nodded, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Elena: “…”
"It's not that I don't want to talk about it." The blonde woman with curly hair frowned and said in a low voice, "It's just... those people haven't woken up since the beginning."
"Not only that, no matter how I moved, they didn't react at all. It was like..."
"It's just like a princess swallowing a poisoned apple." The player who exchanged glances with Gojo Satoru inexplicably moved his eyes slightly, and thought of a very high possibility.
"Anyway, we'll know if we go and take a look tonight." Gojo Satoru took a bite of the Daifuku and narrowed his eyes.
"The next place is this one." The player pointed to the area full of question marks on the map - this place was the place that none of the main forces had passed by during this period of time.
"This place...it's a bit strange to say. Jie and I have done so many missions, but it seems that we have never passed by this place." The meticulous Jie Xia Yu carefully recalled the cursed spirit missions that he and Wu had received before. After confirming it, his eyes couldn't help but change slightly.
Unexpectedly, it was Ikeda Riku who provided the clue to this place.
"I seem to... know this place." Ikeda Riro, who had been standing by and observing, spoke hesitantly.
Players at a loss, planning to explore again tomorrow: surprise.jpg
"Really? Li Luo-chan?!" The surprised player immediately shook her hand and asked with sparkling eyes, "Come closer and take a look!"
"Indeed, I've been to this place before." Ikeda Riro seemed to have thought of something, and her steady mantra unconsciously fluctuated slightly. After taking a deep breath, she pointed to a spot and said, "There's an ancient building here. Legend has it that it was built during the Nara period, when Buddhism was prevalent in Japan."
"Religion..." The player suddenly glanced at Geto Suguru.
I don’t know why, but I always feel that this kind of thing inexplicably fits the temperament of the boy with bangs.
Geto Suguru: “……?”
Geto Xia Yu tilted his head in confusion.
"Nothing." The player, who had in a sense confessed himself, shook his head and wrote down the information provided by Ikeda Liluo. "Although I have the information provided by Liluo-chan, this place is quite large."
"And we're not sure where it's hiding, so... finding this sharp-toothed brain is going to be difficult."
"A temple built during the Nara period... Come to think of it, I seem to have the impression that something similar existed." Gojo Satoru suddenly said.
…
"What's wrong? Isn't it normal for me to know these things?" Gojo Satoru said dissatisfiedly as he looked at several pairs of focused eyes.
"I almost forgot... this guy Gojo is from the Three Great Families." Ieiri Shoko crossed her arms and her expression suddenly became very cautious.
"Ah...that's right, it's all Wu's fault that his daily behavior is so easy to be misunderstood." Geto Suguru, who had the same expression as Ieiri Shoko, narrowed his eyes and looked a little deep.
"Stop playing tricks, both of you." The player put his hands on the shoulders of Jialiu Naoko and Xia Yujie, pressed them hard, and then signaled the guy opposite who was still making a fuss to explain the situation quickly.
Player: "Hurry up and speak, there are important things to do later!"
"Okay—" Gojo Satoru spread his hands and recalled, "I heard this from my mother. When I was a child, she would come to my residence to accompany me once she got the Gojo family's permission. Occasionally, she would tell me stories about the world of Jujutsu—such as rumors about the three great families and little-known knowledge."
Players whose focus was somewhat misplaced: "...Gojo, why does your mother need permission from the elders to accompany you?"
"Of course it's because I have six eyes." Gojo Satoru rubbed his eyes, lowered his voice, and said in an almost frightening tone, "It's very dangerous around me!"
The frightened people remained calm and just kept urging him to continue.
"...Anyway, my mother once said that Lord Tengen used his immortality technique to create multiple barriers to protect the land of Japan. This great act was supported by many people."
Gojo Satoru paused, then continued, "These people believed in Master Tianyuan and became his followers. They spontaneously came together and established a religion called the Bankei Cult."
"And then?" asked Geto Suguru, who was listening intently.
"And then that's it! My mother wouldn't tell me in such detail. She probably saw or heard it somewhere and then told me about it."
Gojo Satoru waved his hand without interrupting the others' joyful storytelling. "I don't pay much attention to this kind of thing. Those guys haven't caused any major incidents anyway."
"Master Tianyuan made such a sacrifice for the greater good. If they believed in him, shouldn't they work hard to kill the cursed spirit?" The player tilted his head, a little puzzled. "Why is he so unknown?"
Is it the Tian Yuan itself that one believes in, or the symbol of Tian Yuan...
"Well, who knows?" Gojo Satoru said nonchalantly, "Such independent small groups do exist in the world of spellcasting. It's just that the Banking Sect has become somewhat special because of the existence of Master Tianyuan."
Well, although there are some family changes involved, players still get a lot of useful information.
The player took the map with some writing and drawings on it and began to plan the next action plan.
…
"Okay, this is the next plan!"
After a long while, the player placed a piece of paper covered in handwriting near the map. He then looked at the long-haired girl beside him and said hesitantly, "However, I need Li Luo to do me a small favor."
The player thought for a moment and quickly added, "Don't worry! I promise nothing dangerous will happen!"
"Eh? Do you need my help?" Not caring about the danger Aurora mentioned, Ikeda Riro was just a little surprised that she needed help, and then she agreed without hesitation.
"That's absolutely fine. If it weren't for Aurora-chan, I wouldn't have been able to reconcile with Aoi... I'm more than happy to help with this little thing!"
"Then I'll leave it to you! Li Luo-chan!" The player who got the approval hugged her and spun around happily.
This was the pursuit of a vicious curse master who had lived for who knows how many years. Yet, this female student who had attended Sakura Junior High School and had always behaved indifferently to the outside world was actually chalking it up to a 'small matter'...
Gojo Satoru unconsciously stopped what he was doing and looked at the long-haired girl whose cheeks turned red for no reason, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
It's really a bit crazy... Although the power of the spell is relatively low, he really has the talent to become a sorcerer.
It's really surprising.

Late at night, hospital——
The player and Gojo Satoru walked in the hospital corridor. The surroundings were silent and the only sound they could hear was the echoes of their feet on the floor.
With a crackling sound, a dim green light flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, it turned red, and the dim light bulbs in the aisle went out...
"Aurora, why are you reading ghost stories in my ear? I'm not afraid of that kind of thing." Gojo Satoru asked, bending slightly to match the height of the black-haired girl.
Who understands? Aurora's serious look made him feel an inexplicable urge to laugh.
"Who told you to talk to me like that from the beginning?" The player glanced at Gojo Satoru's movements that constantly reminded him of the height difference between them, and his expression was very unhappy.
The player gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn it! Can't people have some sense of boundaries between each other?"
"Hehe." Gojo Satoru put on a sly smile and twisted to the side, avoiding the elbow attack from the black-haired girl.
This nasty guy...
The player clenched her fist and punched Wu Bozhi. This number of processes made her even more angry.
"Well, let's go check on those people quickly." Seeing that Aurora was sharpening her sword to attack Gojo, Gojo Satoru quickly regained his serious demeanor and, under the angry glare of the black-haired girl, took the lead in pushing open the door of the general ward.
But this one look made his face darken instantly, and he no longer had the happy look he had just had.
"This is..." The player who crawled under Gojo Satoru's arm took a closer look and exclaimed in surprise.
What's going on?!
