There was no time to waste. After Ye Mo Zheng Dao assigned tasks to everyone in the classroom, everyone immediately took action.
The word "curse" made everyone eager to try it out as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Yaga Masamichi and Ieiri Shoko immediately set out to the hospital to save people, while Al, Gojo Satoru, and Summer Oil Geto followed the assistant supervisor to Viridian Town near Tokyo to find out what happened.
Their target this time was initially estimated to be a first-level cursed spirit, belonging to the curse category among cursed spirits.
The assistant supervisor fastened his seat belt and said nervously, "To be honest, this is my first time assisting in a mission related to the Grudge..."
Xia Yujie smiled and comforted him:
"It's okay. This is our first time too. You can stay outside the house for a while. According to the information from the window, you won't be cursed as long as you don't step into that house."
The assistant supervisor smiled wryly and said yes, taking a moment to look in awe at Al who opened the passenger door.
This is said to be a cursed spirit newly conjured by Geto Suguru. It is very strong and eats a lot. It can eat so much that it shocked the cafeteria aunt. In just half a month, it became famous in the Tokyo curse circle for its appetite. But at first glance, it seems to be no different from humans...
Al silently climbed onto the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt obediently. According to the agreement between him and the owners, he would not speak casually in front of outsiders.
He lowered his head and remained silent for a few seconds, then took the initiative to ask, "What is the curse?"
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru paused for a moment, and when they saw the assistant supervisor calmly start the car, they realized that it was the team's internal voice.
The fake Command Spell that Al drew for the three high school students only has two effects.
1. Mutual positioning.
2. Enable team voice chat.
There was a faint magical power attached to the pseudo-Command Spell, and the magic power belonging to Al was enough for them to set up a small team chat room.
There are four members in the chat room: Al, Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Ieiri Shoko.
Ieiri Shoko was forced to hear the team's voices: ...
At this moment, she was sitting in another car with Ye Mo Zheng Dao on the way to the hospital. Even though they were so far away from each other, Al's voice seemed to echo in her ears.
She almost forgot that Al had this function!
Soon, Geto's voice also appeared in the chat room: "The Grudge? The Grudge is a branch of the Curse Spirits, and it is considered the most special type of Curse Spirits."
Different from the magic in the Fate worldview, the supernatural power in "Jujutsu ○ War" is called cursed power, and the essence of cursed power is human negative emotions.
Anger, sorrow, pain, resentment, fear, regret, love... strong negative emotions form strong curses, and the monsters born from the curses are called "cursed spirits" by sorcerers.
The "patients" that Al killed in the abandoned hospital and the strange monsters in the department store are all "cursed spirits."
However, curse spirits are also different. Some curse spirits are mainly composed of sadness, some are pain, some are fear, and some are awe... Different emotions give birth to different curse spirits with different properties and characteristics. The most dangerous of them are curse spirits with "resentment" as their nature.
"The Grudge is actually quite rare. If a person dies with a strong hatred, and he also has a strong talent, then this hatred will be successfully transformed into a curse spirit. The curse spirits of the Grudge Department are said to have the characteristics of immortality, but since the number of Grudges is too rare, this cannot be confirmed."
The car carrying two sorcerers and a heroic spirit drove smoothly towards Evergreen Town. On the way to Evergreen Town, the top student Xia Yujie personally gave common sense to his heroic spirit.
"Most cursed spirits are formed by the negative emotions of many people, but the Grudge is different. It is formed by the hatred of an individual and becomes a cursed spirit, so it is very rare. Mr. Ye Moth talked about it once last semester. If you think the name of the Grudge is strange, just call it a grudge spirit. It means the same thing anyway."
The top student explained in simple and understandable language:
"However, the vengeful spirit cannot kill people at will. If it wants to kill someone, it needs the victim to trigger certain conditions. For example, once someone enters its house, it is equivalent to being marked by the vengeful spirit. No matter where they run to, it will definitely chase them to the end according to the curse."
Gojo Satoru propped his chin up, looking at the scenery passing by outside the car window, and added casually: "Also, the curse absorbs the hatred of the victims, which means that the more people it kills, the stronger its power will be."
No wonder Ye Moth’s attitude is so serious. It seems that the target of this mission is not only extremely rare, but can also upgrade himself. God knows how many people the Curse Spirit has killed before. Maybe it has become a super boss now.
"That's why Naoko is not suitable for this mission." Xia Yujie said, "Satoru and I are fine. Even if we encounter a curse, we can protect ourselves, but Naoko can't."
Gojo Satoru grinned and said, "Because glass is too fragile, and a job like a nanny is very easy to be targeted by the enemy."
Xia Yujie nodded: "Don't be fooled by the appearance of the cursed spirits, they are actually very sensitive. Generally speaking, when there is Nozomi present, she will be attacked first, so I will always reserve the Rainbow Dragon with the strongest defense for Nozomi."
Jialiu Gaozi, who was listening in from a distance, snorted coldly.
"Thank you very much for your popularization of knowledge."
Summer Oil Jie & Gojo Satoru: "..."
Hey guys, why are you here too? Is there no distance limit for this team channel?
Al, contrary to his usual behavior, lowered his eyes.
Die with a strong hatred...?
Yega Zhengdao's previous words kept echoing in his ears: he was suspected of cheating and was tortured to death along with his son.
Some fragments buried deep in his memory flashed through his mind uncontrollably, and Al, who was in a frenzy EX state, could hardly control his murderous intent.
The assistant supervisor who was driving suddenly spoke up.
"By the way, regarding the murder of Saeki Kayako five years ago, there is actually an unrelated follow-up."
"What's next?"
The Assistant Supervisor had a somewhat sad look on his face.
"Five years ago, didn't the husband of that family suspect that his wife had cheated on him with a college classmate? He also suspected that his son was not his own? That was all because he suffered from oligospermia."
“…”
"So that morning, he went to the hospital and submitted an application for a paternity test. After returning from the hospital, he went berserk and killed his wife and children. But later the test report came out - their son was the couple's biological child without a doubt."
For a moment, the four people in the car didn't know what to say.
Al frowned slightly, feeling a tight pain in his chest. The surging emotions surged like a tide. Sadness, anger and powerlessness gripped his heart tightly. For a moment, he even felt that his breathing was a little difficult.
Such emotions did not belong to the heroic spirit that possessed him.
This is... Al's own emotion.
