The Yellow Spring Guide fully played the role of a guiding NPC and led Al and the other two to the devil's cave - that is, her classmate's home.

On the way to the classmate's house, Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu looked a little nervous. After all, according to the Yellow Spring Guide... no, according to what the girl said, the classmate's house might be the lair of the cursed spirit. Even if it wasn't, it was definitely a very dangerous place.

What's more, this time the cursed spirit is very likely to be level two.

In the tense atmosphere, Nanami Kento asked the girl: "By the way, when did your classmate's father die?"

The girl thought for a moment and answered, "Well... Actually, her uncle died just before the legend of Spider-Woman became popular. I think her father was probably Spider-Woman's first victim."

"Then how did he die?"

The girl shook her head.

"I don't know about that." She answered, "After her father passed away, my classmate has been deeply traumatized. Every time I visited her, she didn't talk much and became much more depressed... Speaking of which, she hasn't been back to school for several days."

Huiyuan Xiong comforted her, "Give her some time, she will definitely get over it."

"Yeah, that's right!"

Al suddenly asked, "Well, you said before that you were afraid of your classmate's mother. Why is that?"

Huh?

Hearing this question, Nanami Kento and Haibara Yuya turned to look at Al at the same time.

The girl was stunned, and then she thought about it seriously. After thinking for a long time, she wondered, "I'm not sure... Anyway, I was afraid of Auntie from the first time I met her. Actually, Auntie is a very nice person, very gentle, speaks softly, and makes delicious snacks."

She tilted her head and said in confusion: "Yes, why..."

Unexplained fear?

Gojo Satoru once said that the intuition of a sorcerer is often very accurate. So, as an ordinary person, do we also have the intuition to seek benefits and avoid harm?

Hiss, if the guide to the underworld is also considered an ordinary person.

"What does her mother do?"

"She's just an ordinary office worker. She works in the company during the weekdays. But I've heard classmates complain that she always locks herself in her room on weekends. I heard she's researching something."

Research something?

From what I heard, it seems that the auntie is definitely not studying some ordinary cookbook or cross-stitch.

Twenty minutes later, they successfully arrived at an ordinary apartment. The girl rang the doorbell and three technical college students stood behind her waiting. After a while, the apartment door was opened from the inside.

A slightly pale face appeared from the crack in the door.

She had black hair, black eyes, and was a little thinner than the Guide to the Underworld. Perhaps because she was too sad, the little girl in the door crack looked listless, but she still maintained basic vigilance.

She said faintly: "You brought someone here again."

The word "again" is very meaningful.

Huang Quan Guide smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, but they are here to ask about the news related to Spider-Woman. The two editors before... do you know? The two editors I brought before are said to have disappeared. They may have been eaten by the terrible Spider-Woman like your father. Please, please tell us about Spider-Woman again, okay?"

"…missing, huh?"

The gloomy girl looked sinisterly at the three unfamiliar faces through the crack in the door. Her black pupils twitched abnormally for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

The detail was so fleeting that only Al noticed it.

Huiyuan Xiong said sincerely: "Hello, I'm sorry to disturb you when you are most sad. We have no bad intentions. We are just too worried about those missing people. Can you please tell us what information you know? If we let Spider-Woman continue to do evil, more people will die."

After a while, the little girl opened the door and said to them, "Come in."

She was wearing a washed-out pink pajamas, her black hair was tied into a messy ponytail and hung listlessly behind her head, and she looked in a very bad state.

Huiyuan Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you!"

Nanami Kento also said politely: "Sorry to bother you then."

They took off their shoes and walked into the house. Just as the Yellow Spring Guide was about to follow them in, the little girl turned to her and said, "My mother will be back soon. Are you sure you want to come in?"

"!"

Huang Quan's guide paused, then laughed dryly, "Hahaha, is it this time already? Then, then I'd better not go in!"

She looked at Al and the others and said hesitantly, "Then you guys..."

"Don't worry." Al said to her, "It's okay. If you are worried that we will get lost, do you want to leave us your contact information in advance?"

Perhaps because of his calm attitude, the girl blinked and nodded with a smile, "Yeah! Okay!"

So Al exchanged cell phone numbers with her, generously marked the girl as "the guide to the underworld", and said to her: "Thank you."

If they hadn't run into this girl, their investigation wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

The girl said reassuringly, "You're welcome. Bye then?"

Al suddenly raised one hand. The girl was stunned for a moment, then she understood and clapped her hand with him.

"Then I'll go home first!"

"Well, bye~"

Huiyuan Xiong also waved to her: "Goodbye, thank you!"

Nanami Kento also said politely, "Goodbye."

After she left, the entrance door closed with a click.

The house is very ordinary, with three bedrooms and a living room. The living room is a little messy, and the zippers of all the windows are tightly closed. The light coming in is a little dim, and the whole house gives people a gloomy feeling.

As a Heroic Spirit, Al is not very sensitive to cursed energy. As newbies on their first mission, Kento Nanami and Yuu Haibara don't know how to observe the damage of cursed energy. But as soon as they entered the door, the three of them clearly felt that this house was unusual.

Is it breath?

I always feel that there is a subtle sense of foreboding everywhere, which makes me even more suspicious.

The little girl invited them to sit on the sofa, and she curled up in a corner of the sofa, hugging her arms, as if she was afraid or worried. She whispered, "You can ask."

Haibara Yu scratched his head and looked at Al first. Seeing that Al had no intention of even sitting down and was just walking slowly around the living room, he turned to look at Nanami Kento.

Nanami-san looks very reliable!

Nanami Kento organized his words and asked, "When did your father pass away?"

The little girl said faintly, "A week ago at night."

"Where?"

"At home."

This answer was beyond everyone's expectations. Nanami Kento paused for a moment and asked, "Who was at home at that time?"

"My mother and I."

"...Have you all seen Spider-Woman?"

The little girl raised her head from her arms and looked at him deeply with her dark eyes. "Yes."

Nanami Kento and Haibara Yuu felt creepy for no reason.

At this time, Al stood in front of the living room window. Through the gap in the curtains, he saw the setting sun and the manta ray spirit flashing across the roof of the apartment opposite.

Al craned his neck and saw a taxi parked downstairs of the apartment building. The door opened and a short-haired girl in a technical college uniform got out.

He then drew the curtains with confidence.

"Can you tell us in detail what happened?"

Nanami Kento's cautious words echoed behind him.

The little girl said in a low voice without any emotion: "She...wrapped Dad with spider silk, layer by layer. Dad turned into a white ball, and it seemed that he couldn't breathe. Then he was eaten by her bit by bit."

Huiyuan Xiong was surprised and asked: "Have you... told anyone about this?"

“Yes,” the little girl said. “I said the same thing when the police asked me, but they all thought I was dreaming.”

“…”

This incident is indeed incredible in the eyes of ordinary people, and it is understandable that no one believes it, just like the driver who saw the "Spider-Man" in the tunnel was not trusted by anyone.

Huiyuan Xiong asked: "What about your mother? Did she see it too?"

The little girl's dark eyes moved to Huiyuan Xiong's face. After a long silence, she said softly, "It's impossible that he didn't see it."

“…”

So strange.

This atmosphere, these words, and the little girl's attitude always felt like there was a strong sense of discord everywhere.

Al stepped back from the French window. He raised his head slightly and noticed spider threads entangled in the corner of the living room ceiling. Thanks to the excellent vision of the heroic spirit, after noticing the existence of the spider threads, Al quickly found a few more strands of spider threads from under the sofa, in a corner of the coffee table, and even behind the painting on the wall.

There are too many spider webs in this house, aren't there? Even a run-down college like this wouldn't have spider webs everywhere.

Al walked around casually and soon saw the spider silk on the door handle of a bedroom.

There were spider webs on the door handle, a place that is often touched. Could it be that there is a cursed spirit living in this house?

The two first-year sorcerers didn't notice this detail for the time being. They continued to ask, "So, have you met these two editors?"

The little girl nodded: "Yes. They came to my house."

"What happens next?"

The little girl shook her head silently.

Huiyuan Xiong said worriedly: "You don't know either..."

I heard that it is already very good for ordinary people who have encountered cursed spirits to leave behind their bodies. This shows how cruel the cursed spirits are. The two editors have been missing for more than 24 hours. Are they... really still alive?

The little girl suddenly asked, "What can you do now that you understand Spider-Woman?"

"Huh?"

Nanami Kento and Haibara Yuu were both stunned, and then they heard the little girl slowly say: "Do you want to defeat Spider-Woman? But you don't seem to know her at all."

"we……"

The little girl lowered her voice and said, "Spider-Woman, she has eight legs and eight eyes. She lives an ordinary life like an ordinary person during the day, and only after the sun goes down will she reveal her true appearance."

“…”

"She would wrap her prey in silk and wait for it to die before eating its body. This is a spider's habit. Or, she would simply turn the humans she likes into her own kind."

"...Same kind?!"

Al looked at the little girl who was talking. Her mouth opened and closed, and there seemed to be something white stuck between her lips. It looked like... spider silk?

Wow, really?

The blond-haired and blue-eyed boy blinked in surprise. Suddenly, there was a click from the entrance. A middle-aged woman in formal clothes stood in front of the entrance and looked straight at them.

It's the little girl's mother who's back.

Nanami Kento and Haibara Yuu quickly stood up and said, "Hello, sorry to bother you, we..."

"Another question for Spider-Woman, huh?"

The middle-aged woman's voice was gentle and soft, and she was not surprised to see a stranger in her home.

Huiyuan Xiong quickly said: "Well, yes!"

The middle-aged woman came in and said to her daughter, "You are tired, go back to your room and rest."

The little girl lowered her head, trotted back to the room quickly, and locked the door immediately. Judging from her reaction, she seemed to be afraid of something.

"My daughter is so ignorant that she doesn't even know how to entertain guests. I'm so sorry."

The woman took off her coat and went to the kitchen to make four cups of oolong tea and brought them to the living room. Huihara Yu stood up, took the cups, and helped put them on the tea table. At this time, the setting sun had already disappeared into the horizon, and the living room, which had no lights on, became even darker.

"You are not editors of the newspaper, are you?"

Al silently picked up the oolong tea and brought it to his mouth but stopped.

He stared at his feet for a while, then calmly put down his teacup.

"Yes." Nanami Kento said thoughtfully, "We are here to solve the Spider Woman incident."

"Solved? Do you mean to destroy Spider-Woman?"

"Yes, we..."

"Nanaha."

Suddenly, Haibara Yu called Nanami Kento, and his tone sounded a little strange. Nanami Kento turned around in confusion and saw Haibara Yu staring at his feet with a pale face.

Completely subconsciously, Nanami Kento also lowered his head and saw that the floor seemed to be covered with a layer of white stuff.

He moved his legs, but was surprised to find that the slippers on his feet were stuck to the floor - to be precise, stuck to the spider silk!

The woman said faintly, "I understand. You are wearing the uniforms of the Jujutsu High School. The Spider Woman incident has alarmed the Jujutsu masters... I understand, I understand."

A strange smile appeared on her ordinary face. "But you didn't even notice such obvious imperfections in your magical power. You must be newbies, right?"

“…”

Kento Nanami's expression looked a little ugly.

"Are you a cursed spirit?"

"No, no, how could that be... I am a human being just like you, but I am different from you. I am a curser."

Nanami Kento & Haihara Yu: "!!!"

At this time, the sky outside had completely darkened.

Al said calmly, "Be careful, it's getting dark, Spider-Woman will reveal her true form at night."

The two first-year sorcerers stood up suddenly.

The blond boy didn't seem to notice the tense atmosphere at all. He said calmly, "But don't worry. Even though the slippers are stuck, you can still take them off. If the socks are stuck, you can also take them off... Oh, by the way, maybe you can try to use the cursed power to burn the spider silk?"

Anyway, he is not a sorcerer and has no cursed power. He doesn't know if this will work. He just sees Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru using cursed power to burn things very smoothly.

The woman looked over quietly.

Al's expression was calm and his tone was relaxed: "Now it's time to reveal the truth... So, you killed your husband too?"

"That's right." The woman said frankly, "It is the habit of spiders to eat their husbands during mating. That is also the last step to get the curse, so I must eat my husband."

"You also turned your daughter into a spider," Aldu said.

"You are right."

The woman said, "As long as they inject my venom into their bodies, they will be slowly eroded by the curse and eventually become as strong as me. However, I did not rashly attack my daughter. I tried several test subjects before helping her 'evolve'."

Nanami Kento finally understood: "So, the Spider Man that appeared in the tunnel..."

"Yes, that was my work, but the venom I injected into their bodies was a bit too much. After so many days, I'm afraid they are all dead."

She looked at the school uniforms of the boys and said coldly, "You are not from a family of sorcerers, are you? As someone who has been through this, I advise you that being a sorcerer is not good, especially when you show your strength and don't have enough backing, you will only be suppressed endlessly. How many sorcerers have been forced to become cursers... You don't know that at all, right?"

“…”

She murmured, "If a curser wants to survive, he can only force himself to become stronger. Only in this way can he survive the pursuit of the cursers... Everything I do is to stay alive."

Al said calmly, "But Auntie, you don't seem to be that strong now. Do you have any misunderstandings about your own strength?"

Curse Master: “…”

Nanami Kento: “…”

Huiyuan Xiong: "..."

Huiyuan Xiong whispered: "Ah, Senior Al! Don't add fuel to the fire, can't you read the air?!"

Al said calmly: "Well, otakus are all a bit ky. This is the result of not having a normal social life for a long time. There is nothing we can do about it."

“Don’t take this opportunity to diss otaku!!!”

The woman's black eyeballs rolled abnormally in her eye sockets twice, and she opened her mouth to spit out a mouthful of angry spider silk.

The covering white spider webs flew towards the three young men present. Al was sitting on the sofa, without moving, and was completely submerged by the spider webs. Nanami Kento and Haibara Yuu reacted quickly. They turned around and ran, rushing towards the entrance together.

Huihara Yu was horrified and said: "Nanami, Senior Al, Senior Al he——"

Nanami Kento's face looked a little ugly, but he still said in a very affirmative tone: "It's okay."

That blond boy was the guy who could throw a bus with his bare hands and kick the powerful Grudge Shirai away with one foot. He would never end up in a place like this!

They ran to the entrance, only to find that the door was covered with strong spider webs and the entire door was tightly locked. They looked at the windows again and found that all of them were sealed with spider webs.

What time did this happen?

They didn't even notice it!

The curser chased after him.

There were six cracks on her face. When the cracks opened up, eight black eyeballs appeared on that ordinary face, rolling around irregularly. One look at it made me feel my SAN value was dropping rapidly.

Kento Nanami and Yuu Haibara drew out their cursed tools.

The curser said in a dark voice, "You will slowly die in my spider silk, just like those two men."

Huiyuan Xiong asked: "Where are those two editors?!"

The curser laughed strangely and rushed forward.

Two legs grew from her waist and two arms grew from her back. She actually turned into an eight-legged "Spider-Woman"!

Arran lay quietly under the spider web and told his three teammates through the team channel, "There's a fight going on here, you can come over now."

"good."

"Finally, the fight has started. What time is it now? What kind of efficiency is this..."

"Al, have you guys released the account?"

Al was stunned. "Oh, it seems not."

After a dozen seconds, the air trembled subtly, and a layer of "tent" slowly descended from the outside, covering this small space.

The two first-year students were unaware of this.

The young sorcerers used their cursed tools to block each other's attacks. After suffering several consecutive attacks, Nanami Kento finally chose to counterattack and cut off the Spider Woman's arm with one sword. Haibara Yu also found an opportunity to attack and learned to cover the blade with a layer of cursed power without any guidance.

They were all injured, and under the stimulation of life-threatening danger, the two talented teenagers had their potential stimulated. Their counterattacks became more and more effective, and they gradually reversed their original disadvantage.

"Huihara, cover me!"

"good!"

The sword burning with blue cursed power made the sharpest strike, hitting the point of seven to three, cutting off all four legs of the curser. The curser's body collapsed with a bang and fell to the ground in a staggering manner.

"Hehe...you...can't find those guys. By the time you find them, they will probably be dead..."

The curser spat out a mouthful of blood, then closed his eyes unwillingly.

Win!!!

Kento Nanami and Yuu Haibara were breathing heavily. They raised their hands to wipe the blood off their faces and were speechless for a long time.

In silence, Al finally pulled away the white spider silk on his head and crawled out from the mess. Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu were startled at first, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was him.

Huiyuan Xiong said: "Senior Al, are you okay..."

Al spread his arms and announced, "Well done, mission accomplished."

The first-year sorcerers didn't think so. Huiyuan Yu said frustratedly: "But, those two editors have already..."

Al pointed to the little girl's bedroom and said, "There might be a surprise in there."

surprise?

Nanami Kento paused, then quickly walked towards the bedroom. Before he got close, the bedroom door opened with a click, and a little girl with eight eyes walked out.

"!!!"

The little girl's eight scary eyeballs trembled irregularly in her eye sockets. She pointed to her closet and said, "It's there."

While remaining alert, Kento Nanami opened the closet, but unexpectedly, a man wrapped tightly in white spider silk fell out of the closet.

He was startled.

"What is this...?"

The little girl said, "He was the first editor to visit my house. My mother gave him to me so that I could practice spinning spider silk. He...is not completely dead yet. Is there a way for you to save him?"

Kento Nanami quickly turned around to look at Al, who nodded and gave him a thumbs-up sign to indicate "don't worry".

He was indeed quite confident in this point, because they had an invincible Glass in the Jujutsu High School!

"Then the other person..."

The little girl said calmly, "My mother took care of him. I don't know where he was thrown."

"..." Huiyuan Xiong lowered his head and murmured, "How could this happen?"

The atmosphere suddenly reached its lowest point, and at this moment, someone knocked gently on the window.

Everyone turned around and saw that the blue magic power quickly burned away the spider silk on the bedroom window, revealing three familiar figures.

Gojo Satoru, Xia Youjie, and his family entered the glass industry.

After the spider silk was burned clean by Geto's cursed power, Gojo Satoru kicked the bedroom window and broke it, urging, "Is it over? Go back quickly, I'm really starving."

Xia Yujie smiled and said, "Wu, stop kicking other people's windows. This is not a technical college."

Ieiri Naoko rolled her eyes and said, "You can't just kick the windows of a technical college in the grounds. Please understand."

Al walked past Nanami Kento and the little girl and walked towards them calmly. He asked his companions, "Where is the other editor?"

"Rescued."

Xia Yujie pointed behind him, and sure enough, there was a middle-aged man trapped in the manta ray curse spirit. Xia Yujie explained: "When we found him, he was severely corroded by the curse power, and he also grew two extra arms. Wu and I had no choice but to call Nozomi over again."

Nanami Kento & Haihara Yu: "!!!"

Huiyuan Xiong was surprised and said: "That person is——"

Al said: "It must be another editor!"

Huiyuan Xiong was extremely moved: "Great, he is not dead!"

Nanami Kento also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ieiri Naoko glanced at the little girl with eight eyes in the room and whispered, "Let's go back to the technical college first. We need a quiet place for treatment."

Albi made an OK gesture and turned around to drag the fainted curser. Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu looked at each other, and worked together to move the man in the closet onto the back of the manta ray curse spirit.

Xia Yujie extended a hand to the little girl.

"Don't be afraid, we will heal you."

The little girl looked up at him and asked, "What will happen to my mother?"

Xia Yujie said softly: "She made a mistake and must be judged according to the rules of the magic world."

The little girl lowered her head and was silent for a while, but she still held the hand that Xia Yujie extended, "No one will be killed in the future, right?"

Xia Yujie said gently: "Yes. No one will be hurt by Spider-Woman anymore. Of course, you will never become Spider-Woman."

Because there were so many people going back to the high school, he summoned another puff spirit, and everyone rode the spirits back to Tokyo Jujutsu High School. Gojo Satoru said to Al, "Not bad, you're already acting like a senior."

Al was unmoved and said, "All a geek needs to do is act like a geek."

Nanami Kento asked, "Gojo-senpai, what's going on with you guys?"

Gojo Satoru said with a grin, "You are too slow. By the time you find the editor, he will probably be dead. So we will just help you save him."

Huiyuan Xiong smiled and said, "Hahaha, I knew it! How could the seniors not care about us? They must be following us quietly and protecting us secretly."

Nanami Kento: “…”

Although this seems to be the case, why is the phrase "secretly guarding us" so creepy?

Al said calmly: "It's experience, experience."

Gojo Satoru said lazily, "No, this is the older generation oppressing the younger generation. Oppressing."

Nanami Kento: “…”

How obsessed is Gojo-senpai with his villain character?

Al glanced at Gojo Satoru a few times, and seeing that Gojo Satoru was slow to receive his hint, he simply stretched out his hand to Gojo Satoru and said, "Where are my twenty boxes of chocolate buns? Give them to me."

Gojo Satoru's momentum faltered. "...Tomorrow? I'm starving now. The steamed buns at Sansewu are limited edition and only 50 pieces are sold a day. They are sold out by this time. We can only buy some tomorrow."

Besides, even if you queue up tomorrow, you may not be able to get a seat.

Al said coldly: "I know, so you guys should line up for me from now on."

Gojo Satoru: “……?”

Gojo Satoru was shocked and said, "We are lining up now? Al, am I not your most adorable Satoru-chan?"

"Fathers and sons should be clear about accounts. Even if you are my most beloved child, you must pay me for my overtime pay—not to mention that you are not the most beloved one."

"Ah? What? I'm not No.1? Then who is? Jay?"

In the distance, on the back of the manta ray.

Being cueed for no reason, Xia Yujie was speechless and said, "What are they arguing about over there?"

Ieiri Naoko shook her head disinterested.

"I don't know. Don't ask. It's definitely not good to ask. You might as well hurry back to school."

"……Too."

Al was speechless and said, "Of course the cutest one is Nitro-chan. Who gave you the confidence? Anyway, return the overtime pay to Daddy, or I will sue you for fraud at the Daddy Protector Association!"
