The next morning, Al and Xia Yujie set out early.

Since they didn't know the exact location, they prepared to have lunch in the wild mountains.

Kuroi Misato got up early in the morning and carefully prepared two lunch boxes for them. Looking at the cute panda head in the lunch boxes, Al couldn't help but sigh that Kuroi Misato is indeed a professional maid, she is really strong!

In response, Kuroi Misato humbly said: "Since Ms. Riko has been a picky eater since she was a child, I can only try my best to make the bento look better to coax her to eat more."

Listen! What a loving parent!

"Thank you, then..."

"Jie, don't put the lunch box into the ugly baby's stomach." Al snatched the lunch box from Kuroi Misato and stuffed it into his backpack first: "It's sticky and will affect the appetite."

Xia Yujie blinked and muttered, "Why not just wrap it in a plastic bag... Never mind, whatever you want."

The storage function of Choubao is really useful. The only drawback is that the things taken out of its stomach will be stained with sticky unknown liquid. It is okay to put other things in it, but food will affect the appetite a bit.

By the way, Ugly Baby is the cursed spirit raised by Fushiguro Shinji, and the name was given to it by Al. The problem is that the child looks really ugly.

"Let's go then, bye."

They took off on the Manta Curse Spirit, and Manami Suda and Misato Kuroi, who came out to see them off, waved from below.

"Go early and come back early, Master Geta, Master Al."

As for the other officers? They are still sleeping at this time.

The early morning of □□ starts at 1pm, and anything before 1pm is considered late night.

The morning breeze blowing in his face was quite cool. Al stretched his back and asked the boy next to him: "Jack, can you sense the exact location?"

"Yes, sure."

Xia Youjie released the Polu Demon in his body. Now the Polu Demon was like a ball of blood. It flew around them once and then began to lead the way in front.

Yes, the true form of Pakuro is neither a little girl in a white dress and red shoes, nor a disgusting insect, but black blood plasma. According to Xia Yujie, that is because a large part of Pakuro's negative energy comes from aborted fetuses, and its image represents the blood of fetuses when they are aborted.

"Come to think of it, is our church still called Panxing Church in the end?"

Hearing the resentful tone of his own Berserker, Geto laughed dryly: "It can't be helped. No one can think of a suitable name, and the original name of the Pansei Cult is actually quite nice."

Al said unhappily, "Is the Berserker Fan Club just talking nonsense?"

Xia Yujie: “…”

Xia Yujie coughed lightly and said seriously, "More importantly, Panxing Church is a legal church. If we change the name, we have to go through complicated procedures. So it is most convenient for us to keep the original name."

Only then did Al say "oh" reluctantly.

They flew for about half an hour. Al was so bored that he was watching the new MV of Teramon Tsukushi. Suddenly, Ieiri Naoko's voice came into his mind: "What are you doing?"

Because they hadn't heard this sound for a long time, Al and Xia Yujie were both stunned for a moment, and it took them three seconds to react.

"Glass?"

"Glass sauce!"

Ieiri Shoko seemed to smile: "Where is that idiot Gojo?"

Xia Yujie said, "He probably hasn't gotten up yet. He was still sleeping when we left."

Ieiri Nishiko let out an "oh".

"That's great. I have something to tell you. Let's just wake him up."

Gojo Satoru, who had been awakened, said: “…”

He decided to pretend he was not there.

Al asked with great concern, "What's the matter, Nitro-chan? And it's not even time for you to get up now."

Ieiri Nishiko smiled.

"It's all thanks to you guys."

Xia Yujie raised his eyebrows: "We?"

"I heard that you bought a house similar to the Capitol Building and have officially moved in. The top management held an emergency meeting and summoned Mr. Yega to Kyoto early in the morning."

Al and the other two: "..."

It is teacher Noctua who is the worst.

When they were here, the teacher was so angry that he had high blood pressure every day. Now that they are gone, the teacher is still so angry that he has high blood pressure every day.

Terrible, it’s really terrible.

The Spellcaster Association has been hesitant to act after losing two special-grade students, but has been keeping an eye on their movements. They originally thought that two fifteen or sixteen high school students would only be able to fight on their own and wouldn't be able to accomplish anything big, but it turns out that this playful "Berserker Fan Club" is getting better and better, and even officially moved into its new headquarters yesterday.

The so-called "Pansei Palace" is so luxurious just by looking at its appearance. Its momentum almost overwhelms the two Jujutsu High Schools. If you don't know it, you might think it is some kind of Capitol Building.

When he heard this, Xia Yujie actually felt a little relieved.

It was worthwhile for him to spend all his family fortune, and it was really worth it to make those rotten oranges in the upper echelons feel sour.

Of course, the most important thing is that they live comfortably.

And the advantages of this force go far beyond just having a gorgeous headquarters.

Kimiko Ohsaka, when it comes to matters of gods and ghosts, the first exorcist that ordinary people think of is Kimiko Ohsaka. Although her strength is only quasi-first-class, and she is a psychic who has long since fallen, her prestige is high. When she casually recommends her, a large number of people flock to the Pansei Cult.

Ordinary people may not necessarily become followers of Panxing Sect, but coming to Panxing Sect to do fortune-telling or buying a pair of protective Buddhist beads from Panxing Sect’s online store can also contribute to the development of Panxing Sect.

Do not be timid and give up small profits. The profit from selling a coin may not be much, but if you save a little bit at a time, it is not a small amount of money.

It is necessary to mention two people here.

One was the owner of the squatter room, Higa Makoto. When the senior executives first heard the name, they didn't pay much attention to it, as they thought the last name sounded familiar. But when the assistant supervisor came back after checking the information, the senior executives' faces turned green.

Good guy, Makoto Higa, the younger sister of the number one psychic Higa Kotoko!

What does this mean? How did Higa Kotoko's sister end up there? What does this mean? Does it mean that Higa Kotoko is actually close to Gojo Goka Yugetsu in private?

But Kotoko Higashi's best friend is Yuki Kujuku - yes, that's right, the only top-grade sorcerer besides Gojo Geta.

Does this mean that Gojo Satoru, Kagome Ken, and Kujuku Yuki, the three special-grade sorcerers, have actually formed some kind of alliance?

The rotten oranges, whose paranoia is getting worse, can't stop the storm in their minds.

Oh yeah, and there's also the Panxing Shop.

It was an ordinary online store that had just opened for business not long ago. It sold some amulets, Buddhist beads, and cell phone pendants at very reasonable prices. On the surface, everything seemed normal, but as soon as the customer service ID was seen, the senior executives felt their blood pressure rise.

Customer Service No. 1: "Star Plasma Body"

Customer Service No. 2: "Maid with Star-Plasma Body"

Customer Service No. 3: "Berserker Lancelot"

Senior executives: “…”

It's coming up, the blood pressure is coming up.

They reported the store "Panxing Shop" for being involved in negative information, but received a system notification of "invalid report" 24 hours later.

Compared with Astral Plasma and Lancelot, the other two first-level sorcerers who joined the church were not a big problem, so they had no choice but to call Ye Mo Zhengdao to a meeting early in the morning.

"That's how it is."

Xia Yujie looked helpless and asked, "What are they going to do this time?"

Ieiri Shoko shrugged, "Who knows? Maybe he knew he couldn't use force, so he adopted a soft policy? Anyway, you guys better be careful."

"Well, thank you, Glass."

"You are welcome."

Al sensed that the long-awaited audio call was about to end, so he said, "Glass, when you have time, come to Pansei Palace. We have built a special mahjong room and game room, and we have reserved a room for you. Come play Owee together."

The reverse therapist said cheerfully, "Okay, let's wait until after the summer. I'm a bit busy lately. Also, Nanami and Haibara asked me to thank you."

"Um?"

"Because you guys have exorcised all the cursed spirits around Tokyo, they have to travel far away every day. By the way, they went to Hokkaido yesterday."

Al & Summer Oil: "..."

This doesn't seem like a thank you, does it? It's clearly a sarcastic remark!

Ieiri Naoko quickly left the chat room, saying that she was going to the autopsy room to dissect a corpse. After all, it was summer and it was not easy for anyone in this line of work.

The devil fish curse spirit is still flying in the sky.

They gradually moved away from the bustling city, flew over several towns large and small, and flew into the deep mountains and forests that were comparable to Sugizawa Village.

“…”

Al looked up from his phone and glanced around.

Xia Yujie smiled and asked him, "What's wrong? Can't connect to the Internet?"

Al: “…”

You are kidding him, definitely kidding him!

Al asked him, "Jack, is there anything in here?"

Xia Yujie nodded, "Yes, there is a residual curse of the cursed spirit."

Because of the different power systems, Heroic Spirits cannot feel the existence of Cursed Power, but Heroic Spirits are Heroic Spirits after all. They have five senses and intuition far superior to ordinary people, and can detect abnormalities around them at the first time.

Xia Yujie pointed around and described what he saw: "The forest is full of traces of cursed energy left by the movement of cursed spirits. It feels to me like... a giant python swimming in the woods."

"A python?"

This description... does it mean that from Geto Suguru's perspective, the scene in front of him is quite scary?

Xia Yujie pondered and said, "However, cursed spirits are born from the negative emotions of human beings. Logically speaking, they generally do not exist in places far away from humans. In other words..."

"Is there a village nearby?"

"right."

The manta ray curse spirit circled over the woods for a long time and finally found a small village.

This village that does not exist on the map is very small. From a distance, it seems that there are only 20 to 30 households in total. The houses are built close to each other, giving it an old and outdated feeling, and there is an inexplicable sense of oppression that makes people feel breathless.

They parked cautiously outside the village and walked in, posing as lost tourists.

Xia Yujie whispered, "This is it."

The child who summons the Polu demon is in this village.

Al said: "It's so old... It can compete with Shanze Village 80 years ago. How can such backward villages still exist now?"

Xia Yujie also deeply agrees with this.

Even if the transportation is inconvenient and the economy is backward, this is a bit exaggerated. He dared to guarantee that there is absolutely no Internet in this village, and people should be satisfied with having a landline and electricity.

Not long after they entered the village, a villager called out to them cautiously, "Who are you?"

The two stopped and turned around to see a fat man in his thirties or forties, wearing a tattered shirt and trousers, staring at the two strange boys in front of him warily.

Xia Yujie was very surprised: "Hello, are you from this village? Our car got stuck in the woods. Is there a place to tow it here?"

He clearly didn't even have a driver's license, but he was an excellent liar. Coupled with that deceptive face, the fat man was stunned and involuntarily let down his guard.

"Where did you drop the anchor?"

Xia Yujie pointed to a place and said, "There, our cell phones have no signal either, so we had to come out to seek help. Let me see..."

Al pretended to take out his phone and looked at it. "Jack, we've been walking for forty minutes."

"Forty minutes... that's quite far." The fat man scratched his head. "In our village, only the village chief's family has a car, but the village chief is not here today. His wife is sick and has gone to the hospital. I don't know when she will be back."

"Is that so?" Xia Yujie showed a disappointed look, and then asked him: "If it's convenient, can I borrow your phone? Our cell phones have no signal, and we want to report to our family that we are safe."

The fat man was in a dilemma. He didn't want to bring a stranger into his home, but he couldn't let a stranger walk around the village freely. And the village chief wasn't home today...

Xia Yujie said at the right time: "We can pay for the borrowing of the phone."

The fat man was stunned, as if he had not expected to make money by borrowing the phone. He asked, "How much are you giving?"

Xia Yujie was stumped by the question. It seemed that he couldn't report too outrageous a number for such a matter. He recalled how the pay phone charges in some convenience stores in Tokyo were calculated, added a little more, and tentatively gave a number.

The fat man said cheerfully, "Of course, you guys come with me."

If you have money but don't make it, you are a fool!

He turned around and dragged the sack in his hand towards his home. Al and Xia Yujie followed him immediately - this was a legitimate way to sneak into someone else's village.

After the fat man turned around, Al silently gave Xia Yujie a thumbs up.

Reliable, Jay.

As they walked toward the man's house, Al asked casually, "What's in that bag? It smells funny."

"Oh, a snake repellent."

Al and Geto looked at each other and said, "Snake repellent?"

"Ah, two people went missing in the village some time ago, and someone said it was a python, so I got this bag and scattered it around."

Xia Yujie frowned and asked him, "Have you called the police?"

The man shrugged and said, "I reported it to the police, they came to look for me for a few days, but they left when they couldn't find me."

He didn't seem to care much about the two missing villagers, but he felt an instinctive fear about the fact that "someone was missing."

"What a coincidence, Jake, you just said that the traces of the remaining cursed power look like pythons, so we are really protecting ourselves from pythons here."

"……yes."

Xia Yujie asked the man, "What about the python? Has anyone seen a snake eat a person?"

The fat man curled his lips.

"It's just two little girls talking nonsense. Only the village chief's wife believed this nonsense. In the middle of the night yesterday, she suddenly screamed and scared the whole village awake. When we asked her, she said that a particularly large python swam across their bed. In my opinion, she was frightened by those two girls. Those two motherless bastards like to talk nonsense everywhere... Hey, women are timid. They can be scared by this. She had a high fever when she woke up in the morning and said her heartbeat was particularly fast. She was sent to the hospital."

Al and Xia Yujie silently glanced at the sack in his hand.

Fat man: “…”

The fat man was so embarrassed that he said angrily: "Just in case!"

Xia Yujie stroked his chin and said, "It sounds like they saw the cursed spirit while half asleep. Tsk, this is an unexpected event... Al, let's help them solve the cursed spirit problem before we leave."

"I'm fine."

Al was used to the daily routine of triggering side quests from time to time, and had no objection to the Lord's decision.

The black-haired boy said in a joking tone, "This, isn't it also the result of your European Emperor physique acting up?"

Al pursed his face and said, "Well, actually, I don't think I'm very lucky at all. If I must say, it's probably because anime male protagonists are good at triggering various events?"

Xia Yujie laughed: "Hahahahahaha——"

Gojo Satoru, who had been pretending to be dead, said quietly, "There is only one protagonist in a world. Al, the protagonist of this world must be me."

Xia Yujie said calmly: "Yo, Wu, you're awake."

"Um."

Al disagreed: "You can't say that. I am a mysterious protagonist from the universe. Strictly speaking, I am from another world."

"Ha, you finally remembered your space swordsman persona, otaku Al-chan."

As they were talking, they had already reached the man's house. After all, it was a small village and they could reach it in two steps.

Just as the man pushed open the gate, Xia Yujie reached out and pulled him. The fat man's heavy body was easily lifted by him, just in time to avoid the black snake falling from above.

Fat man: “!!!”

He was so frightened that his soul left his body, his face turned pale, and he jumped up and down and danced like a monkey.

The snake was probably startled, so it turned a corner and swam towards the corner.

Amid the man's panicked screams, Al and Xia Yujie raised their heads and silently glanced towards the roof.

On the roof, two small figures retreated stealthily.

The fat man didn't notice it, but the two of them saw it clearly. The snake was thrown down from the roof, and the criminals who threw the snake... were two little girls.

They looked at each other silently, winked at each other a few times, and then tacitly pretended that they saw nothing.

After a small commotion, they successfully borrowed a phone. Geto Suguru pretended to call Bansei Palace. Gojo Satoru yawned and went downstairs to answer their call. After talking to each other incoherently, they hung up the phone.

A certain Curse Spirit Operator who was very good at lying said in distress, "He said he would drive over to pick us up tomorrow... Al, we can't go back today, right?"

Al said seriously, "How can this be? I don't want to live in the woods."

The fat man was still in shock, but after hearing what Xia Yujie said, he took the initiative and said, "You can't go back today? Well, if you are willing to pay, it's not a problem for you to stay at my house tonight."

"Really? Thank you so much."

Xia Youjie seriously discussed the accommodation fee with him, and then took Al away from the fat man's house under the pretext of going around to test the mobile phone signal. When they left, the fat man was cursing and pouring the powder in the sack around the house.

They turned a corner, released the Polu demon, and followed it to find a house at the edge of the village.

The house was a little crooked, and the roof was tattered, looking like it could collapse at any time. Al knocked on the imaginary door and raised his voice to say, "Excuse me."

After a moment of silence, two pairs of vigilant eyes appeared in the dark and damp room.

Al was amused by their wary look.

He said with a straight face and expressionless face: "You two are the ones who released the snake."

When the two little girls in the room heard this, they thought they were here to call for punishment and planned to escape by jumping out of the window on the spot. However, when they opened the window, they saw a smiling black-haired boy looking at them from outside the window.

“…”

The two little girls were so scared that their hair stood on end.

Xia Yujie looked at the two little girls in front of him who were only four or five years old and said helplessly: "It's not a good joke. Although the snake is not poisonous, it can still scare people. But you are really brave. You dare to catch a snake and climb the roof. What if you fall down?"

The little girl with light brown hair said timidly: "It has nothing to do with you!"

She looked like a hedgehog with spikes all over its body, but because she was too weak, her ferocious appearance had no intimidation at all, and instead made people feel pity for her.

The girl with short dark brown hair pulled her sleeve, took her half a step back, and said warily: "Nanako...be careful."

Xia Yujie was puzzled and asked, "Do I look scary?"

His expressionless face is indeed very deceptive, but he is always the most deceptive when he smiles. It can be said to be a tried and tested killer weapon.

Al said speechlessly: "Then don't stand outside the window and scare the children."

Not to mention a person standing outside the window, even a cat sitting there would be scary.

“Hahahahaha…that’s right.”

"Can we go in and talk to you? We have no bad intentions," Xia Yujie asked them.

The two little girls looked even more nervous.

Xia Yujie lowered his voice and said seriously: "I'll tell you a secret. In fact, we are exorcists who are here to deal with the python monster."

Two little girls: “!!!”

They were silent for a long time, then asked, "Can you see it too? That...that thing."

Kagome nodded, "Of course, we are a professional team. Do you know what an exorcist is?"

The two little girls shook their heads.

Al explained seriously, "Exorcists are very powerful. They can fight ghosts, monsters, and even monsters. They are even more powerful than the Kamen Rider on TV."

The girls looked confused. Alton paused and asked in surprise, "Hey, don't you know Kamen Rider?"

It's strange, Kamen Rider is obviously the most popular superhero among children (under 15 years old), right?

The girl with short dark brown hair shook her head: "We have never watched TV. Other people have TVs, but they never let us watch them."

“…”

The two little girls, about four or five years old, were ragged and dirty, and lived in such a shabby house. They didn't look like they were taken care of.

Compared with their peers, Osamu Tahara, they can catch snakes, climb onto rooftops, and are wary of strangers. When communicating, they don’t act like four or five-year-old children at all, but like mature little adults.

What kind of life can make two children so self-reliant?

Al glanced at Xia Yujie's face and asked for him, "Where are your parents?"

The girl with short dark brown hair pursed her lips and whispered, "Dead."

...not an unexpected answer.

Xia Yujie was silent for a while, then showed his most gentle smile and said softly, "Can you tell us about the python?"

This time, the little girls nodded and finally agreed.

When Al pushed open the door and walked in, he noticed that there were messy graffiti on the door, with a lot of insulting sentences written crookedly on it. The house was empty and there was no furniture at all.

Xia Yujie climbed in through the window, his hands covered in dust. He glanced around the room with mixed feelings and said softly, "I'm Xia Yujie, and he's Al, my companion. What about you guys?"

The girl with short light brown hair said reluctantly: "...Nanako."

The girl with short dark brown hair glanced at her twin sister and followed her example, saying, "Mimiko."
