late at night.
Amid the sound of rain, time slowly approached twelve o'clock.
In the ward, the two followers had already fallen asleep.
The transfer student was lying on the bed holding the doll left by Yega Masamichi, looking a little absent-minded.
In the darkness, the bad girl suddenly pulled back the quilt and asked unhappily, "Hey, are you guys going to the bathroom?"
Of course, the followers who were already asleep did not respond. The transfer student was silent for a few seconds, and then she realized that the bad girl was waiting for her answer, so she said, "I don't want to go."
They had just engaged in a real "campus bullying" during the day. Even if the transfer student ignored the bad girl completely, the bad girl had nothing to say.
The bad girl snorted coldly, "...If you don't want to go, then don't go. Don't come to me to beg you to go to the bathroom later."
She jumped off the bed, kicked open the door, and left the ward angrily.
The corridor was silent, with only the sound of rain hitting the windows filling the cold space. The bad girl took a quick glance and was not surprised to find that the lights in all the wards along the corridor were off, and the tea room was now pitch black.
...It was so quiet that it was a little strange. Were there no patients in other wards? What was going on in this hospital? Was this the lair of human traffickers?
If I run away now, can I still get home safely?
The bad girl thought anxiously.
She walked hurriedly into the restroom, and three heads of different colors popped out from the emergency exit.
White, black, gold.
Xia Yujie looked around to make sure that the bad girl would not suddenly come out, and then he lowered his voice and told Al: "Al, I leave it to you."
"No problem, Master."
With a whoosh, the blond-haired and blue-eyed young man turned into a spirit on the spot.
Gojo Satoru and Kagome Kei retreated back to the stairwell.
In order to capture the Grudge, they informed the hospital and other people living on the top floor in advance. Everyone knew that a Level 1 Grudge might come here tonight, so they evacuated very quickly and not even a single medical staff member was left on duty.
“Shua——”
The bad girl turned on the faucet of the sink. She lowered her head and washed her face in the empty bathroom. While she was moving, she intuitively felt that there was someone beside her. She subconsciously raised her head and glanced at the mirror. In the mirror, a long-haired woman was lying on the sink. Her clothes were stained with blood and the original color could not be seen. She was lying next to her and staring at the mirror.
"ah!"
The bad girl let out a short scream.
In the blink of an eye, the figure in the mirror disappeared.
The bad girl quickly wiped her face with her sleeve. In her clear vision there was only herself and the empty bathroom. Where was the long-haired woman?
Her feet seemed to be rooted to the ground and she didn't move. After a while, the bad girl finally reacted. She ran away, like a rabbit, back to her own ward and slammed the door.
"Here we go." Al told his teammates, "The target should be the bad girl."
He was right! The first person Kayako came to see was a bad girl!
Gojo Satoru: “Got it.”
Xia Yujie: "Got it."
Ieiri Glass: "OK."
Summer Oil: "Nose? Why are you still awake?"
Ieiri Shoko: "Ms. Nishina is asleep, and I can't sleep."
Gojo Satoru: "Glass, if you haven't slept yet, come out and see the ghosts!"
Ieiri Shoko: "...Hehe, ghosts aren't giant pandas, what's so good about them?"
Al followed the bad girl through the door and floated in like a ghost. He saw two raised quilts rising and falling. They were the beds of the two followers. Obviously, the two follower students were sleeping soundly and had no idea what their boss had just experienced.
The transfer student watched the bad girl slam the door and then huddled under the quilt, shivering. After much hesitation, he asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
"……ghost."
The weak voice of the bad girl came out from under the quilt.
The transfer student looked puzzled: "What?"
"The ghost is coming. She is coming. It is... it is the ghost in that house. She is chasing me. She is really chasing me..."
The transfer student was stunned.
She looked at the door, then at the bad girl, and chose the latter between walking out of the room to ask for help from others and curling up in the quilt to spend the night.
She had never seen a ghost in that house with her own eyes, and was skeptical about whether ghosts existed or not, but, but...to be honest, the current atmosphere was really scary.
Where are those people who said they would protect them... where are they?
Xia Yujie reminded, "Al, Satoru is waiting outside the window of your room."
Al glanced at the window. It was pitch black outside. He could only see raindrops hitting the window. He couldn't see Gojo Satoru at all.
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning, and the light outside the window suddenly became brighter. A slender hand took the opportunity to stretch out from the corner of the window, quickly made a V sign to him, and then quickly retracted.
Al: “…”
That was of course Gojo Satoru's hand.
He silently retracted his gaze and reported: "Master, they all hid under the quilt. Isn't this a bad thing?"
Before Geto said anything, Ieiri Naoko, who was listening in, asked in confusion, "Huh? What's wrong with that?"
Al answered seriously, "Because the quilt is the tacit 'inviolable territory' in all ghost stories. People hiding in the quilt are invincible. In this case, the curse should not appear--"
"ah!!!"
The bad girl suddenly screamed loudly.
She waved her limbs and kicked the quilt away in panic. Just then, another bolt of lightning struck. Al clearly saw a long-haired woman covered in blood holding her waist tightly under the quilt, dragging the bad girl down with force.
Al, who was slapped in the face, said: "..."
Well, Kayako is obviously a ghost who is not bound by the "Quilt Law".
Very individual.
The teddy bear that Ye Mo Zheng Dao gave to the bad girl was placed on the bedside. At this time, the teddy bear was grabbing the bad girl's hair with both hands, trying its best to prevent her from being dragged down by the evil spirit.
A bear and a ghost were playing tug-of-war in the quilt, and the bad girl was screaming miserably as she was being pulled by both sides.
“Help, help, ah——!”
Al decisively condensed into a human form, a sword glowing red appeared in his hand, and he chopped at the long-haired cursed spirit with the sword.
“——!”
The high-tech lightsaber chopped on the woman's bloody head, and the head with long black hair was cut in half cleanly. The bad girl saw this horrifying scene while struggling and immediately let out a shrill scream.
"ah!!!"
At the same time, others also moved.
Gojo Satoru broke in through the window swiftly, and Geto Suguru immediately released the cursed spirit to wrap up the other three students in the ward, dragging them out of the ward one by one to prevent them from being affected by the subsequent battle.
The prey has been trapped, and it's time for the hunters to show up.
The female ghost with half of her head chopped off opened her mouth. Her face, covered in red blood, was empty and numb. She opened her mouth and made a series of strange creaking sounds.
Following her call, a man carrying a gasoline barrel appeared in the ward. He had a blank expression and his head was covered in blood. As soon as he came in, he began to pour gasoline into the ward. There was no sign of life on his body.
This... could this be one of the people killed by Kayako?
Soon, a reporter with a broken neck crawled out from under the bed.
The policeman who was strangled to death appeared slowly with his head drooping. Medical staff who died tragically also appeared in the ward one after another, fighting passionately with Yegamo Zhengmichi's teddy bear and Xia Yujie's cursed spirits. The small ward was a mess.
"Wow." Gojo Satoru commented, "It's really spectacular."
In the chaos, a black cat actually appeared, and its cries were incessant. At some point, the ward was full of black cats, shuttling back and forth between the ghosts and Al and others. The owner of the black cat, Toshio Saeki, hugged his legs and sat quietly in the corner of the ward, his empty eyes silently staring at all the "people" in the ward.
Amid the chaos of the demons, Gojo Satoru casually broke the neck of a cursed spirit and said excitedly: "Did you see it? Al, these are the guys who were killed by the curse. They have all been integrated into the power of the curse! This Kayako is definitely a big shot!"
The real level may be more than one!
Al chopped off the cursed spirit that was approaching him with his sword, and with his remaining eyes he saw Kayako scramble out of bed and blend in with the other cursed spirits. Just as he was about to escape, he shouted, "Master!"
"Here we go!" The steady voice of Xia Yujie came over, "Born from darkness, from darkness to darkness, filth and filth, all will be cleansed away."
A small "tent" fell from the top of the head and quickly wrapped around the small ward. This "tent" had only one function, which was to prevent the cursed spirit from escaping from the ward!
Kayako, with a wolf-like body, was blocked by the "tent". It opened its mouth, and the strange creaking sound in its throat became even more shrill.
"!!!"
The girls who were dragged out couldn't help but cover their ears, and their vision went dark.
The prey is all trapped in the trap, so there is no need to be polite.
Gojo Satoru formed seals with his hands and shouted, "Cang--!"
At the same time, Al launched an attack second only to releasing the Noble Phantasm: "Sink, critical breakthrough!!!"
The only ordinary person still in the ward. The bad girl: "......?"
Who am I, where am I, am I in danger now???
"Rainbow Dragon!!"
The hard white dragon-shaped cursed spirit tightly wrapped around the bad girl who was surrounded by the cursed spirits. The cursed spirit Rainbow Dragon belonging to Geto Suguru kept strengthening its scales while escaping to the edge of the "tent" with the bad girl.
Xia Yujie took the bad girl from Honglong, rolled on the spot, and with the cooperation of the cursed spirits, avoided two overlapping light cannons.
Boom——!
Boom——!
The set up "tent" was shattered into pieces!
The entire roof of the hospital was blown away, and the broken wall fragments and glass pieces fell to the ground one after another, more violently than the rain. If these things were allowed to fall, they would definitely cause large-scale damage and injure passers-by and passing vehicles.
At the critical moment, Xia Youjie released hundreds of cursed spirits in an instant, and all the cursed spirits formed a flesh wall to catch all the falling wall fragments.
Boom boom
A dull and terrifying roar was heard in the heavy rain. A resident living nearby curiously leaned out of the window, but saw only a pitch-black scene. He scratched his head, put on his headphones again to play games, and didn't think much about it.
"call……"
Xia Yujie breathed a sigh of relief.
On the bomb-flattened rooftop, Al and Gojo Satoru were waving at him with a smile.
“…”
Xia Youjie couldn't help but glare at them.
He was sitting on the back of a manta ray cursed spirit, holding the fainted bad girl in his arms. On the puff cursed spirit behind him were the frightened transfer student and the confused followers who had just woken up. Ieiri Shoko and Nishina Rika were also sitting on the back of another flying cursed spirit, slowly flying towards them.
Ieiri Naoko looked at the flattened roof of the hospital and said speechlessly, "Idiots, are you ready to write a 100,000-word apology?"
"..." Xia Yujie rubbed his forehead. He controlled the cursed spirit to fly above Al and Gojo Satoru and said helplessly: "Can you guys be more sensible? What if you hurt passers-by?"
Gojo Satoru smiled without any remorse: "With you here, how could I possibly hurt passers-by? Isn't everything safe and sound?"
Al stood aside and gave him a victory gesture with no remorse.
Xia Yujie: “…”
Is everything okay? Say it again while looking at the bombed-out rooftop? ? ?
He could only sigh.
"Forget it, it's too late to say anything. By the way, where is the curse? I didn't even have time to grab a head, and I was busy cleaning up your mess. At least give me the curse spirit."
Gojo Satoru said, "Are you talking about Kayako? She ran away."
"Huh?" Xia Yujie's veins jumped suddenly, and he said with a sinister expression: "Run away???"
"Ah, don't worry, we've already beaten it to a pulp. Its cursed minions were all crushed by me and Al. It must have escaped back to its lair through the connection to the haunted house. It's probably already bleeding."
Gojo Satoru made a gesture of wiping his neck as he spoke.
"Now it can only wash its neck and wait to die."
"…I hope so."
After all... it's a curse that can't be completely eliminated.
Summer Oil Geto's manta ray curse spirit descended in front of them, Al and Gojo Satoru climbed up swiftly and handed the bad girl and four female high school students over to Ieiri Shoko.
"Glass, I'll leave this to you. We need to go back to the murder house in Evergreen Town to find the bloody Kayako."
"Me?" Ieiri Naoko questioned, "Are you sure? Do any of you still remember that I'm just a weak wet nurse?"
Al put his hands together expressionlessly and said, "Please, Glass, this is a once-in-a-lifetime request."
Ieiri Naoko: “…”
Really? Then your life must be calculated by the day. Do you have the nerve to say that a request made every day is a request made once in a lifetime?
Ieiri Naoko said, "Haha, if your expression could be more vivid, I might soften my heart."
Al: “Hmm.”
Summer Oil Jie also said: "Please, Nazo, when Mr. Yemo comes, you should hand them all over to the teacher. This may be the only cursed one I encounter in my life, I must have it!"
Ieiri Naoko: “…”
Gojo Satoru said, "Please, Glass, I don't want to see the moth! This time it's my turn to write the apology!"
Ieiri Naoko: “…”
Ieiri Naoko waved her hands tiredly, "Let's all go."
The manta ray swung its tail and flew quickly towards Evergreen Town carrying the three people.
"Congratulations to the host, the Heroic Spirit level has been upgraded to lv.53"
