After doing a big job, Al and Gojo Satoru returned to Pansei Palace quietly in the dark.

They were members of the Panxing Cult, so naturally they did not trigger any alarms when they entered the "tent". The two of them carefully avoided the cursed spirits guarding the outer perimeter of the Panxing Palace and easily climbed into the window on the third floor without alarming anyone.

Al smiled and said, "All is well, Wu-chan."

Gojo Satoru also laughed: "Really? Why on earth would I accompany you to be a thief?"

"Oh, this is all for Jake. If he gets revenge himself, he'll feel good for a while, but he'll be sadder afterwards, right? So this kind of thing should be handled by someone who doesn't think too much."

Gojo Satoru chuckled, "Al, he's not that fragile inside."

Al shook his head.

"Adolescents are very sensitive and fragile. Go-chan and Jie-chan are just ordinary people. They may not be as strong as you think."

Gojo Satoru seemed to find his statement very novel.

"Is Jay also called an ordinary person?"

"Yes, he is just an ordinary child. He will be disappointed, sad, and in pain. He will bear grudges against other people's malice. You know, his empathy is sometimes exaggerated."

Gojo Satoru tilted his head, as if it was the first time he thought about Geto from this perspective. Al said softly, "Go-chan, we just need to be his companions as always."

"Ah, I know."

They clapped their hands in the darkness and went back to their rooms in tacit understanding.

Early the next morning.

Xia Yujie is one of the first to get up in the Bansei sect. Others who have a similar schedule include Suda Manami, Lalu and Kuroi Misato.

Al, Gojo Satoru and Tenuchi Riko usually sleep until noon. Actually, it was fine when they were in school before, after all, they had to get up to go to class. But since they dropped out of school to pursue their careers, they gradually couldn't get up anymore, and every day seemed like the weekend.

Facts have proven that dropping out of school leads to degeneration.

As for Makoto Higa, that child is quite special. When she lived in the red-light district, she slept during the day and was active at night, a typical night owl. After joining the Pansei Cult, although she also joined Al's army of bed-suckers, she is now much healthier than her previous hellish schedule.

When he came out, Manami Suda and others were sitting on the sofa in the living room on the third floor watching TV.

"Morning, Master Getsu."

"morning."

Kagome sat down on the sofa as usual, and happened to see the scene captured by a reporter who went out in the middle of the night in a helicopter.

"In XXX Village, XXX County, a fire of unknown cause broke out last night..."

In the picture, there is a huge fire shooting up into the sky. Unlike ordinary fires, the deep red flames roll like magma, illuminating the dark night sky as bright as day. Just one look at it is enough to make people feel terrified.

Xia Yujie was stunned, "This fire..."

It doesn't look normal, does it? It's totally different from ordinary flames!

Lalu said, "It doesn't look like an ordinary fire to me, it looks more like a curse. And the fire seems to be blocked by some invisible barrier."

Yes, just as Lalu said, the flames that shot up into the sky burned only in one place from beginning to end, and never spread to the surrounding houses or the nearby woods.

If such a terrible flame spreads out, the entire forest will be destroyed, and no matter how many fire trucks come, they can't put out the fire. The sorcerers in front of the TV noticed the abnormality of this picture, subconsciously leaned forward, and focused on watching the report.

"The fire continued to burn until 5 a.m. before it went out on its own. After the fire was completely extinguished, the house where the fire broke out had been reduced to ashes, and nothing other than ashes could be salvaged."

The reporter said tiredly and excitedly: "According to our reporter's understanding, before the fire, a large number of pythons appeared in the village, as many as hundreds. The owner of the burned house also insisted that the fire was caused by a snake demon..."

Xia Yujie: “…”

Hiss, why do those houses in the picture look more and more familiar? Especially that roof, why does it look so much like the fat man's roof? Nanako and Mimiko even climbed on it!

Manami Suda listened to the report and said worriedly, "Master Geto, do you need me to investigate this village? If it is really the work of a cursed spirit, it should be exorcised in time to prevent it from harming the villagers..."

"No thanks." Xia Yujie had a strange expression on his face. He explained, "This village is where I picked up Nanako and Mimiko yesterday."

"...Huh?" The other three were stunned: "What a coincidence?"

Xia Yujie frowned, "We successfully exorcised the python cursed spirit yesterday... Strange, the debris in the forest clearly belongs to that cursed spirit. Logically, there shouldn't be a second cursed spirit."

As a top-class sorcerer, he would not make such a mistake. He was very sure that there was only one cursed spirit in the village at that time!

Suda Manami thought, "If it can use such a big fire, the cursed spirit must be very powerful, right? It can even control the fire."

Xia Youjie nodded, with a thoughtful expression, "You are right..."

The morning atmosphere became a little solemn because of the news reports. Kuroi Misato smiled and joked, "Maybe it's a punishment from heaven? They abused Nanako and Mimiko because of the existence of the cursed spirit. Maybe this is retribution."

“…”

I have to say, if this is really a punishment from heaven, then God has really opened his eyes.

The reporter interviewed several villagers one after another. The villagers looked very panicked and talked about the sudden snake infestation in their homes. However, they had no idea about the cause of the fire.

"While we were busy chasing away the snakes, the village chief's house suddenly caught fire!"

"I don't know either! How could a fire start in the middle of the night..."

The village head and his wife kept repeating the word "snake demon" over and over again, a half-human, half-snake demon wearing a black and gold hunting robe, breathing fire...

"It must be the snake demon in the village! There have always been snakes in our village. The master also said that there is a demon in our village..."

They looked insane.

Kuroi Misato watched for a while and felt that it was about time, so she took the initiative to get up and cook. Lalu naturally went to the kitchen to help.

After the two of them left, Suda Manami pointed at Lalu's back and said with a smile, "He praises you as a good man every day, but I am no better."

She helps with driving, cooking, and taking care of the flowers and plants in the flower beds. She is also very considerate and attentive.

Xia Yujie laughed: "Indeed. But we should hire someone who can help with cooking. We can use the cursed spirits to help with cleaning the room, but cooking and other housework will all depend on Kuroi."

It has to be said that Kuroi is indeed a professional maid. She can cook, do housework, take care of flowers and plants, and play games with naughty children. But the house is too big and there are too many family members. She is really too busy to handle it.

Although some of them will help voluntarily, this is not a long-term solution. It is better to hire one or two more people.

Suda Manami agreed: "Yes, it's time to hire one. However, if you want to work in Banshei Palace for a long time, you can't hire ordinary people. At least you have to hire someone who knows about the existence of cursed spirits and sorcerers..."

Speaking of this, Xia Yujie thought of someone: "By the way, Manami, what did Ms. Kana say?"

Manami Suda said with regret: "Tahara Hideki has been doing well recently, so the couple reconciled."

Xia Yujie: “…”

Really? That's a shame.

Suda Manami chuckled, "Don't worry, Kana and I have already agreed that if Tahara Hideki goes back to her old self, she will come directly to us with her suede. Anyway, we are all doing housework, and if she comes to us, not only will she get a high salary, but there will also be many people who can help her with the suede, so she is very willing."

Xia Yujie reflected with a bit of embarrassment: "In order to recruit people, I actually hoped that the couple's relationship was not envious... I really am going too far."

Suda Manami couldn't help laughing. She winked at Xia Yujie and said playfully, "It's not just you. Others think so too."

Zhisha is very cute, and Chanel's mother is beautiful, kind, and very good at cooking. She came to Panxing to teach cooking once before, and everyone expressed their welcome for her to come again next time, and to bring Zhisha with her.

Xia Yujie said worriedly: "Anyway, I will let Al keep an eye on the curser forum. There are many unemployed cursers there. If we are lucky, we can meet someone who can be absorbed as a companion..."

Suda Manami nodded and asked him with a smile, "Are you feeling better now?"

"..." Xia Yujie chuckled, "Sorry for making you worry."

He also didn't want people around him to see that he was in a bad mood, and he always felt embarrassed. However, the people around him were more sensitive than each other. Although no one would say it explicitly, they all cared about him.

——Really? You’re the head of the family now, you can’t be so useless.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells.

The landline in the living room suddenly rang.

Suda Manami was stunned: "Phone? How strange! This is the first time this landline has rang."

There are only a few people who know this number now, after all, they just moved here.

She walked over and picked up the phone. "Hello?"

Xia Yujie raised his head as if he had sensed something, and was caught off guard by the sight of a young man with light green hair yawning... uh, swimming in?

A half-human, half-snake boy wearing black and gold hunting clothes, with long light green hair and a light green tail, swam into the living room as if nothing had happened and sat down next to Kayu Kei.

Xia Yujie: “…”

Who is this?

Who else could this be!

Help! Why did this naughty Al switch his personality again? Who is this new personality? He is still a snake with a human body!

Wait, a human body with a snake tail?

Xia Yujie suddenly became alert.

Suda Manami didn't know what was happening behind her. She answered the phone and said in surprise, "Oosaka-senpai? Um... yes, Geto-sama is awake, but Gojo-sama and Al-sama are still asleep."

“…”

Hearing their names, Xia Yujie and Al looked at Suda Manami at the same time. Suda Manami responded several times, but her attitude became more and more serious. Finally, she hung up the phone, and when she turned around, she was startled.

Who is the stranger next to Geto Summer Oil?

No, wait, a human body with a snake tail? This is not a human at all, right? Could it be that Master Takeyu suddenly summoned a cursed spirit?

Amid Suda Manami's surprised expression, Al calmly waved to her: "Good morning, Ms. Suda."

The tone is a little strange, but the voice is still very familiar.

Suda Manami was stunned: "Master Al? You have changed again?"

As for why she said "again", it was because she had experienced the bizarre experience of Al's transformation from "Minamoto Raikou" to "Kuang Dai". What's even more bizarre is that this time there is a tail? !

Al blinked and said innocently, "I have always been like this."

Manami Sugata: "..."

Has it always been like this? Has it always had a tail?

Manami Suda, who was noisy and speechless, said dryly, "If you say so, then so be it."

Kayuki was almost used to such emergencies. He suppressed his doubts, patted Al's head, and asked Suda Manami first: "What's wrong? Isn't Oosaka-senpai out recording the second season of "Paranormal Adventure"?"

Only then did Manami Suda remember the content of the phone call just now.

"That's it." Her brows knitted together slightly. "She said that their filming team went to a country town, and while learning about a local god, they accidentally discovered a sorcerer."

"Spellcaster?"

"I heard that he has been able to see things that others cannot see since he was a child, so his parents kept him at home. He is already in his twenties."

“…”

Manami Suda's voice dropped.

"The production team is trying to persuade their family members, but they are very stubborn. Senior Oosaka secretly contacted the sorcerer and heard that he is in very poor health. He is so thin that only bones are left and his eyes are blind..."

Kagome's expression gradually darkened, and Suda Manami said helplessly, "Do you want to help him, Master Kagome?"

After a while, Xia Youjie took a deep breath and said calmly, "Go."

Al held Xiayou Jie's hand and said, "Jie-chan, I'm going too."

Xia Yujie paused and said, "No, your tail is too eye-catching now."

Al is not a real cursed spirit. Ordinary people can see Al, and cameras can also film Al. They are most likely dealing with the production crew of "Paradox 2" now.

"Oh, this one. If J-chan doesn't like it, just remove it."

Al stretched his tail and like magic, it turned back into two normal human legs.

Xia Yujie: “!!!”

Manami Sugata: "!!!"

They looked at Al in silence with a nonchalant expression and silently gave him a thumbs up.

——So strong!!!

Without further ado, they hurriedly ate breakfast and then Lalu drove Al, Gojo Satoru and Summer Oil Jie to meet Oosaka Kimiko.

Yes, Gojo Satoru got up.

The filming location for this episode of "Hypernormal Adventures 2" is a place called Kurokawa-go, which is far away from big cities and has relatively backward economic development, but it has beautiful scenery, pleasant views, and a tradition of worshipping the god Alai.

Lalu asked curiously, "What is Alai God?"

The white-haired boy yawned and said nonchalantly, "It's just a small church that came from India. Who knows what it is? But the locals in Kurokawa Township are basically all believers of this church."

Lalu understood and said, "That's right. There are many strange gods in India. It's normal that I haven't heard of them. But what about the abused child?"

A'er smiled sarcastically and said softly, "I think his last name is Mimu? I heard that when he was very young, he claimed that he could see monsters, and said that there was a seven-eyed monkey behind the statue of the god Alai... Anyway, he said a lot of things that adults don't like to hear. Woohoo. That's right, the biggest mistake he made was saying things that adults don't like to hear."

La Rue was not used to Alrou's sarcastic way of speaking for a while, but he had to admit that Alrou was right.

People are afraid of the "unknown". When children say something that is beyond their understanding and brings them the experience of "fear", it is very common for them to become angry or even furious.

All of this information was shared in advance by Oosaka Junzi.

Xia Yujie put on a dignified five-striped monk's robe and continued calmly, "They regarded the child as a bad omen and locked him up at home. It has been eighteen years now."

The production crew of "Paranormal Activity 2" accidentally discovered this incident during the filming of the program. After asking the mayor and the person in charge of the church, they were shocked to find that this incident was actually true.

Afterwards, perhaps to create topics for the show, or perhaps because they could not sit idly by, the program team began to communicate with the church, hoping that they would let the child go. Naturally, the church refused.

The program crew had no choice but to secretly find the family of the person involved and ask the parents to release the child. As expected, they were rejected.

The entire Kurokawa Township population was thoroughly brainwashed by the church, and all believed that the child was "unlucky" and a filthy child who offended the god Alai. Even the child's biological parents believed that the child should not be released.

Oosaka Junzi thought of a way. He secretly gave money to the people of the Yagi family and was able to meet the child reluctantly.

The child who had been imprisoned at home for eighteen years was named Yagi Rikyu. Due to long-term malnutrition, he was extremely thin and seldom spoke. When Oosaka Junzi saw him, Yagi Rikyu was sitting silently in a corner of the messy room with iron chains tied to his feet and an old radio beside him.

Oosaka noticed that the child's eyes were the wrong color, and seemed to be infected, and the infection was serious.

She immediately asked to send Yagi Riku to the hospital for treatment, and for the first time a violent conflict occurred between the church and the program crew.

The church was very angry and believed that the program crew was rebelling against and disrespecting God Alai. They reversed their previous friendly attitude and incited the townspeople to drive the program crew out of Kurokawa Township, which led to the phone call to Panxinggu this morning.

Xia Yujie closed his eyes and dozed off for a while, then suddenly asked, "Al, where did you go last night?"

He did not ask "Have you gone out?", but directly asked "Where did you go?", which is a routine tactic.

Al didn't fall for it and just said calmly, "What's wrong? Jay-chan cares about me so much? I'm so touched!"

Just as Geto was about to ask further questions, Gojo Satoru yawned extremely exaggeratedly beside him.

Xia Yujie: “…”

He looked suspiciously: "How did you get so sleepy?"

Gojo Satoru said confidently, "Can't I get sleepy?"

"...No, I just suddenly suspected that a certain Heroic Spirit actually had an accomplice."

If you think about it carefully, isn't the effect of the flame not spreading outwards similar to a certain effect of a "tent"?

Al and Gojo Satoru looked up and down, pretending that they didn't hear anything.

Xia Yujie has a strange expression.

“Forget it, let’s talk about this later. Wu, use the reversal technique to wake yourself up. You can’t be in this state when you get off the car later.”

Gojo Satoru said impatiently, “I know.”

Two hours later, their car stopped in front of a hotel.

Wearing a floral cotton jacket and stylish photochromic sunglasses, Kimiko Ohsaka stood in front of the hotel, with the program director and photographer next to her.

Kagome straightened his wide sleeves, smiled and got out of the car first, and said pretentiously: "Teacher Oosaka, are we not too late?"

As expected of a psychic who has been active in front of the camera for many years, Oosaka Junzi shook hands with Geto Kagami solemnly and said in a deep voice, "It's not too late. It's great that you can come, Master Kagami."

She introduced him to the director: "This is the founder of the Pansei Cult, Master Geto. He is a very experienced psychic expert. He is my most trusted partner."

Lalu got out of the car, trying not to laugh.

"A very experienced psychic expert" refers to a sorcerer who has been in the industry for less than two years. "My most trusted partner" refers to someone I have only known for less than two months, but because I have experienced life-and-death crises, I can barely consider him a genuine person.

Al, dressed in a black and gold hunting robe, also got out of the car. Under the personality of "Qingji", every step he took was accompanied by an indescribable wonderful rhythm, and the temperament he exuded was also very wonderful.

Next up was Gojo Satoru, also wearing a five-stripe robe.

Unexpectedly, when the director saw Gojo Satoru, he was shocked and asked, "You, aren't you the sorcerer during the Sufang Hongzi auction incident?"

Al, Gojo Satoru and Kayu Kei were all stunned.

Last year's Su Fang Hongzi auction incident...

Wow, I didn’t expect there are still people who remember that incident!

Gojo Satoru nodded calmly: "That's me."

The director was very moved. At first, he felt a little uneasy when he saw Geto Suguru’s overly young faces, but now he is sure that these people must be masters with real skills!

As the director of a supernatural program, he certainly would not miss any reports on supernatural events in society. He still remembers the sensational "Schober's Mask" last year. It was amazing that Su Fang Hongzi confessed old stories under the temptation of the mask and was directly sentenced to life in prison!

The most important thing was that the white-haired boy in front of him was so special. Although he had only seen his photo in news reports, he would definitely not mistake him.

The director asked: "Well, you have a female partner, right? And the original Shawbel mask..."

Gojo Satoru said "Oh", he remembered very clearly that the person who appeared in the newspaper with him at that time was Ieiri Shoko.

He said calmly: "She is in school, and the Shawbull masks are all with her."

"!"

Class!

The director's eyes lit up even more. "I wonder if there will be a chance to cooperate with the Panxing Cult in the future and take the audience to see the legendary Shawbull mask?"

Gojo Satoru glanced at his companions and saw that both Geto and Al had an "as you please" attitude. He said generously, "Of course, you can contact us later. Remember to make me look mysterious."

"Yes, yes, of course!"

The director was relieved. After all, he and Oosaka Kimiko were old partners, so he was not worried about not being able to contact her.

After the conversation came to an end, Geto Suguru introduced himself seriously: "Let me introduce myself. I am Geto Suguru, the leader of the Bandei Cult. These three are my assistants, Saito Ichi-san, Al, and Lalu."

Huh? Al?

Oosaka Junzi cast a suspicious look at Al, but did not ask any questions at this time.

Gojo Satoru was dissatisfied and asked, "Wait, Jay, why am I the only one using an alias?"

Xia Yujie turned his head helplessly and whispered, "Satoru, do you want to bring shame to the Gojo family?"

Gojo Satoru said confidently, "Then throw it away."

Xia Yujie: “…”

The people of the Gojo family will cry, the people of the Gojo family will definitely cry!

He had no choice but to put on an impeccable business smile again: "What we just recorded doesn't count, let's re-record it. I am the leader of the Bandei Cult, Geto Kagome, and this is my assistant Lalu, the son of God Gojo Satoru, and our church's mascot Al."

If conditions allowed, Al would like to spit for the camera to prove his uniqueness as a "mascot".

Although it sounded like a joke, the director still asked expectantly, "So, how are you going to deal with this situation?"

Xia Yujie smiled and said, "Does this even need to be said?"

The boys looked at each other. Al opened his fan and smiled maliciously, "Woohoo, breaking into a private house is illegal, but imprisoning a citizen for 18 years is the real problem. We did this to save people, so it is understandable. Right, Jerry?"

The director was stunned, as if he understood what he meant.

"What do you mean by that is..."

Gojo Satoru waved his hand and said, "How many photographers do you have? Call them all out. The next scene will be a miracle that you will never see again in your lifetime."

Aldao: "We will use fire to burn all the dirty souls in the world!"

Summer oil Jie Yidun.

Ah, the scene doesn’t seem to need to be so big, and… the snake demon arsonist on the morning news must be you guys!!!
