The founder of the Panxing Sect, Xia Yujie, once again became famous in one battle.

"I heard that he can resurrect the dead and make headless corpses jump up and run. Is that true?"

"Of course it's fake. How can a corpse jump up and run?"

"If you ask me, this is a promotional ad directed and acted by Panxing Cult. What funeral? It's all a sham. They hype it up every few months. It's so annoying. Did they get a taste of success with "Paranormal Activity 2" last time?"

"I don't allow you to speak like that about the handsome men and beautiful women of the Panxing Cult!!!"

"Although I have joined the Panxing Church and I go to listen to the sermons of the leader every week... But to be honest, it is really suspicious for a church to be filled with only handsome men and beautiful women."

"But, the victim that was caught in the coffin by the headless corpse seemed to be Junko Enoshima..."

"Enoshima Junko? Which Enoshima Junko???"

"It's so funny. How many Enoshima Junkos are there in Japan?"

"Go check the trending searches!"

Al was sitting at the dining table, scrolling through his phone in boredom. Kuroi Misato, who was washing dishes, said helplessly, "Sir Al, I'm going to do the laundry right away."

"Hmm?" Al asked in confusion, "Then go ahead."

"I'm leaving now. Who will wash your cup?"

So that's it.

I was browsing my phone at the dining table for almost an hour, and someone said, "I browsed it myself."

Kuroi Misato shrugged, "Okay. Gojo-sama hasn't gotten up yet, so if he comes over, tell him to heat up the sandwich in the microwave before eating it."

"Okay~"

The head of the housekeeping department, who loves housework, finished arranging the kitchen's affairs and went to work in the laundry room. A dozen low-level cursed spirits and sweeping robots were diligently cleaning every corner of the Panxing Palace.

The head of their housekeeping department probably has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. For such a large horoscope palace, they have to do a major cleaning once a week, which causes the members of the housekeeping department to be very busy all the time.

Especially recently, Mikan Shinoki from the Housekeeping Department is in a special situation where she is unable to work.

He casually clicked on a post and found that it was actually discussing the Panxing Cult's mascot.

"Aaaaaaaah, did you guys see the Panxing Cult's mascot? It's so cute!!!"

Posted along with the title was a photo of... Panda's keychain.

Al: “…”

Al: “???????”

He responded with the fastest speed in his life: "Isn't Al the mascot of the Panxing Cult?"

The original poster quickly replied, "What kind of mascot is a human being?"

Al: “…”

He is not a human, he is a heroic spirit! For his status as the mascot of Pansei Cult, he can also be a snake!

"Yes, yes, Panda is so cute!"

"And she wears yellow shorts!"

"Giant Pandas are the best!!!"

Some people also posted photos of the Panda peripherals they bought from Panxing Shop.

Cotton dolls, key chains, cups, bye-bye-hot toys, ceramic ornaments... I didn't know why I thought this person was some kind of giant panda fanatic.

Al was alert and said, "Although Panda is very cute, the mascot of the Pansei Cult is Al. In "Paranormal Adventure 2", the founder of the Cult, Getsu himself, said so."

Maybe it was because his painting style was incompatible with Ichijō’s “Aaaaaaah, so cute”, he successfully attracted the attention of others.

"You may not know this, but Master Al has had his hair cut."

"Not only did I cut it, I also dyed it."

"I heard from an old believer that Lord Al had dyed his hair purple."

Al: “…”

What's wrong with dyeing your hair? What's wrong with cutting your hair?

He decides his style!

"I haven't been spitting fire lately."

Al: “…”

He indeed stopped venting anger after changing his vest, but since he stopped venting anger, his relationship with Jie-chan as father has become much more harmonious.

"He's a homebody, maybe a little socially anxious. He didn't show any expression when I talked to him. He showed up in the lobby on the first floor just to get the goods."

Al: “…”

This vest just likes to watch anime, read books and listen to music alone! Except for occasions where he needs to be funny, he will not easily appear in front of people! This is called the mystery of a mascot! Only a mysterious guy like him can be regarded as the treasure of the Panxing Cult!

"Mr. Al's appearance is always changing, and his personality is not cute at all, so he is not suitable to be a mascot. Gojo-sama said that Mr. Al is now the head of the human resources department and is responsible for guiding new people, so the current mascot of the Bansei Cult is still Panda-kun."

Al: “…”

Al was scrolling through his phone gloomily for a while when Gojo Satoru came in yawning.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed boy said without even looking up: "Breakfast is sandwiches, remember to heat them up before eating."

Gojo Satoru sat down opposite him, picked up the sandwich left for him on the table and took a bite.

He is lazy and doesn't care whether his breakfast is hot or cold, so he is very healthy.

"Why is it so quiet today?"

"Jack is in seclusion in the basement studying the technique, so the sermon is on hold."

Gojo Satoru was surprised and asked, "...Ah? When did it happen?"

"Last night, it was around 1 a.m., someone suddenly knocked on my door and said he was going to go into seclusion. In the morning, Ms. Suda announced it in the group of believers, so not many people came to Panseigu today."

Having said that, before going into seclusion, Geto Xiayou still gave the work content to those top-notch cadres in advance, and finally personally greeted Al, the only one awake at the time.

Of course, there are definitely some idiots who don’t read the group messages, so Tenuchi Riko is in the lobby on the first floor receiving believers who missed the messages, and is also advertising a new product that was just delivered a few days ago - the Panda doll.

We’ll sell as much as we can.

Gojo Satoru said thoughtfully, "Yes, that guy has absorbed so many cursed spirits, but he has never had time to sort them out properly. It has been eight months, right? He should stay in there for a few more days. What did you drink?"

"I won't make instant coffee for you."

"whispering sound."

Gojo Satoru was too lazy to make coffee, so he just took a box of yogurt from the refrigerator.

During these eight months, they collected a lot of cursed spirits from the believers, together with the special grade one that Fushiguro Shigeu brought over a while ago. Perhaps it was the quantitative change that led to the qualitative change, because Geto Suguru suddenly closed himself off.

By the way, the special-grade sorcerer Kujukuyuki, whom Fushiguro avoided as much as possible, has already left. However, since they are both special-grade sorcerers, they still reserved a room for Kujukuyuki, and she can visit Bankeigumi anytime she returns to Japan in the future.

Upon learning of this, Fushiguro Shigeki changed rooms overnight.

"But, this is what I think. In addition to needing to sort out his own cursed energy, he probably wanted to avoid the social death incident at the funeral."

“Haha ...—”

Gojo Satoru wanted to laugh when he thought about this.

He tricked Geto Suguru and made him recite a resurrection spell at the funeral, but the most amazing thing is that the headless corpse actually came back to life!

After that, he received a steady stream of phone calls and letters inviting Kagome Toshi to personally perform various rituals, with very high prices. There were even reporters who broke into Bankei Palace to interview him. Kagome Toshi was overwhelmed by this and has been lying down and giving up everything for the past few days.

"If there are any similar calls today, we will have to handle it for him."

Gojo Satoru made an OK gesture.

He finished his sandwich in a few bites, drank his yogurt, and was about to invite Al to play games with him, when the Heroic Spirit sitting opposite him asked quietly, "Wu-chan, who do you think is the current mascot of the Pansei Cult?"

“…”

Gojo Satoru was strangely silent for a moment, then said insincerely, "You."

Al: “…”

Al: "I would be happy if you didn't sound so reluctant."

After breakfast, Gojo Satoru and Al played "Owee" for an hour. The random mode of Panxing Island was basically on track, and they had explored all kinds of gameplay. The two of them gradually lost interest in the random mode, and they logged off after an hour because they were bored.

Gojo Satoru threw the game controller aside and said, "It seems like we are the only ones playing this recently?"

"Well, after all, Shan Guijun is busy chasing stars whenever he has time. He hasn't played games since the funeral."

"...Enoshima Shield?"

"Um,"

Yamazaki Tai has been living like a stalker lately, hanging out at Enoshima Junko's filming locations whenever he has nothing to do. However, after Al made some inquiries, he discovered that the two had not actually exchanged contact information, nor had they had any other private interactions.

That day, Yamazaki Tai rescued Enoshima Junko, and the "overly frightened" Enoshima Junko was also sent to the hospital. Because the incident was a bit serious, the police visited the Bandei Cult soon after, suspecting that they were involved in intentional injury to Enoshima Junko.

However, after reviewing the surveillance footage, they discovered that the body had indeed jumped up on its own.

police:"……"

Absurd, just be ridiculous.

The last person to come into contact with the headless body was Yamazaki Tai.

The police officer, full of confusion and panic, asked Yamazaki Tai: "Excuse me, what was it that you burned when you were squatting in front of the coffin?"

Yamazaki said sadly: "This is my blessing to my old friend."

bless?

"That 'blessing' has been burned, right?"

"Yes, my red bean buns... have been delivered to Mr. Sato."

The police were confused and could only look at each other.

Of course, they didn't know that the piece of paper with "red bean buns" written on it was filled with resentment and almost turned Sato Nauka's soul into a demon.

In response, Gojo Satoru said: "Love is the most twisted curse."

Al and Xia Yujie agreed with this.

Naturally, the police did not find out anything in the end and just packed up and left. As for Makoto Higa, who taught Yamazaki Tai how to make the "red bean bun" blessing, Geto Suguru turned around and gave her a good scolding, and she repeatedly promised that she would never teach others to make that kind of thing again.

"As for Lucky and Mikan-chan... I don't know when Mikan-chan's illness will be cured. If she can be cured, she will probably come to play games, right?"

Yes, Mikan Shinoki is sick.

She was brainwashed by her schoolmate Junko Enoshima and secretly joined Junko Enoshima's desperate forces. Although Mikan Shinoki has been acting normally all along, in fact, she has been acting according to Junko Enoshima's instructions during this period.

Joining the Bandei Cult was Junko Enoshima's instruction.

Nagito Komaeda told them that Junko Enoshima was the famous "Lord of Despair" a few years ago, and her ideal was to spread despair to the entire world.

During school, she secretly brainwashed Mikan Shinoki, and planned to use Mikan Shinoki to brainwash Mikan Shinoki's classmates. She even planned a large-scale mass suicide of students, but she was noticed by the Jujutsu Association because she created too many cursed spirits.

——Despair is a negative emotion, and revealing negative emotions will breed cursed spirits.

Several first-class sorcerers went out together to wipe out the despair force that had just taken shape. Afterwards, as everyone knows, the leader of despair was sentenced to death by the sorcerers association, and Hope's Peak was also ordered to suspend classes.

After graduation, Nagito Komaeda seldom interacted with his classmates, but by chance, he discovered that the current Mikan Shinoki was behaving abnormally, and he followed the clues and found that Junko Enoshima was the real leader of despair.

At that time, the leader of Despair had already set his sights on the Panxing Sect.

The Panse Cult helps ordinary people cure diseases and actively saves suffering strangers. The high-ranking members of the Panse Cult are also sorcerers who specialize in purifying "negative emotions". They are a group of people who guard hope. In this world, are there any people more suitable for fallen people than them?

Mikan Zuiki's mission is to infiltrate the Panxing Cult, brainwash the Cult leader and even hundreds of followers, and perform a desperate drama for the whole world of "thousands of Panxing Cult followers burning themselves to death together".

Given the size and influence of the Panxing Cult, if they could collectively broadcast a crazy suicide, the whole land would be filled with despair for them!

"I have never found a suitable solution to the problem of Zui Mu being brainwashed."

Nagito Komaeda smiled cheerfully: "But, now that we have Kamizuru-kun, everything is different. I believe that with Kamizuru-kun's ability, Zuiki-san will soon get rid of the brainwashed state and return to normal. He is so lucky!"

Lucky man Komaeda Nagito said so.

After hearing his words, Al and others told the director of "Paradox 2" about the existence of the "Force of Despair", and the director told the incident to a familiar policeman. The "suicide group" and "murder group" that have been popular in the past two years, as well as the "resurrection group" that Rika Kimoto's father joined, all have the shadow of the Force of Despair behind them. The director and the police took active action as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

In the afternoon, Al and Gojo Satoru began to slowly deal with various phone calls and letters.

Gojo Satoru was responsible for answering the phone, and Al was responsible for replying to the letters.

"Moses, Moses?" In the office of the founder, Gojo Satoru held the phone and said nonchalantly, "Resurrecting the dead? That's not really resurrecting the dead. As you can see, it's just the corpse moving."

“——”

"Yes, that's right, the thing we resurrected was actually a zombie."

He was talking nonsense: "A thing without a head and still wandering around, it must be a zombie, right? Ah? Yes, it was resurrected by Geto Suguru using the resurrection spell, which is really a very dark spell. It shows that the God of Light believed in by the Panxing Cult is not a good person either."

“——”

"Huh? You just found out that our Panxing Cult's belief is the God of Light. What? Tianyuan? Screw Tianyuan."

Manami Sugata: "..."

She silently placed a stack of letters next to Al's hand, listened to Gojo Satoru's nonsense, and left the leader's office.

When you go to deliver dinner later, don't tell Master Getsu about this, lest he gets so angry that he goes upstairs and fights with Master Gojo.

Yes, it is more important to study the techniques in isolation.

"This is..."

Al pulled out a very special piece of paper from the letter.

Pink, with a light fragrance.

"Ah." Al showed a surprised expression: "Hoshino Sayaka, I have read many letters written by her in J-chan's room before."

"……Um?"

When Gojo Satoru looked up, he saw Al opening the letter directly. As expected, this Hoshino Saka was the person who had sent a thick stack of letters to Geto Suguru before.

At the beginning of the letter, the other party first asked about Geto Suguru's recent situation in a very gentle and polite manner, and then started to talk about business.

Gojo Satoru said: “…Hey, don’t tear it down.”

"It's okay." Al said, "I've read all the letters from Jake's house. It's nothing. Hmm... this person seems to be a member of the Time Government."

"The Government of Time?"

"Yes, Wu-chan, do you remember that Jie-chan received an invitation from the outdated government before entering school?"

Gojo Satoru nodded: "I remember."

Al raised the letter in his hand and said, "The letter said that she will visit Bandeigumi in three days and wants to talk to Jang-chan about Toyama Nishizawa. Renmi will also go with her."

Gojo Satoru said, "Who is Toyama Rishike?"

Al thought back.

"He should be JJ's classmate. Do you remember that I went home with him before? It was when we were in the first year of high school. At that time, we went out to eat KFC late at night and ran into one of his junior high school classmates. That girl... I think her last name was Toyama."

"Oh, what about Renshi?"

"Hmm - Kisaragi Station? It's the judge who was rescued when the "Incarnation Tamamonomae" and "Incarnation Kaguya-hime" were subdued."

Gojo Satoru then showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

I have some impression.

"Then put it in Jay's memo first."

…

Two days later.

dusk.

Yamazaki stepped on the accelerator of his car and flew into the barrier of the Pansei Palace. He said anxiously with real emotion: "Oh no! Lord Al! Lord Gojo! Lord Suda! Something big has happened!"

As soon as the car stopped, all the children in the car ran into the Panxing Palace. Al, who was staying in the Panxing shop on the first floor, heard their voices and hurried out. Qi Benlixiang rushed in like a cannonball and hit him.

"Master Al!" Qi Ben Lixiang said anxiously, "Go and save Yuta!"

Al was stunned. "Yuta? What's wrong with Yuta?"

Qi Ben Li Xiang said: "He was taken away by the Zenin family!"

...Zenin family?!

Al's face darkened: "Why did the Zen family take Youtai away?"

Megumi Fushiguro ran in next, panting and with tears in her eyes.

"They came to look for me, Otkotsu-san... Otkotsu-san told them that he was Fushiguro Megumi, so I could take the opportunity to escape."

Al was shocked. He held Fushiguro Megumi's face in his hands, took a serious look at her, and said in disbelief: "How can they admit their mistakes when you look like this?!"

Isn't this exactly like Fushiguro Shiori? !

Fushiguro Megumi: “…”

Qi Ben Li Xiang grabbed his arm tightly: "There is no time to show off, Master Al, let's go and save Yuta!"

"No need to go."

Gojo Satoru's voice appeared behind them, "The Zenin family has arrived."

Everyone was silent. Nanako, Mimiko, and Fushiguro Tsumeki all subconsciously ran behind Al and Gojo Satoru. Al immediately made a decision: "Yamaki-kun, take the children upstairs first."

Yamazaki Tai immediately said: "Yes!"

Fushiguro Megumi said: "But, Mr. Al——"

"Hui-chan, do you know why they came to see you?"

“…”

Fushiguro Megumi nodded.

Al asked him softly, "Do you want to be a sorcerer?"

Without hesitation, Fushiguro Megumi shook her head and said, "I don't want to be a sorcerer."

He pursed his lips and continued, "I... don't understand what my father is busy with all day long, but I don't like the world he lives in. I don't like it."

Hearing this, Al raised his hand and rubbed his sea urchin head.

Gojo Satoru sneered, "Okay, we got it. Kids, hurry up and do your homework, and don't cause trouble for the adults."

Yamazaki walked over and took Fushiguro Megumi away. The other children looked at Fushiguro Megumi worriedly, then at Al and Gojo Satoru, and finally all followed Yamazaki back upstairs.

While they were talking, the people from the Zenin family had already stepped into the barrier of Bankei Palace that was only set up against sorcerers. Perhaps because their ill-intentioned aura was too obvious, the cursed spirits that Geto Suguru had arranged around Bankei Palace automatically surrounded them. A translucent water-shaped cursed spirit drew out two water blades and attacked the blond-haired boy who was in the lead. The blond-haired boy sneered, and rolled the cursed power into a rope, which directly strangled the water-type cursed spirit.

clang!

A long sword glowing red blocked his attack.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed boy landed lightly on the ground.

"We can't exorcise this guy. It will alarm Jake. It's rare for him to be in seclusion. I won't allow anyone to disturb him."

Zenin Naoya raised his eyebrows with interest. Just as he was about to start his own technique, another voice reached his ears, "You should stop showing off your fancy skills in front of me, okay?"

"Hey, Go-kun." Zenin Naoya said, "It's been a long time."

Gojo Satoru was too disdainful to waste time talking to him: "Where's Yuta? Hand him over."

Zenin Naoya said, "He should have been sent back to the Zenin family. The idiots who arrested the wrong person couldn't even tell the difference between Jinri-kun's children."

He laughed meaninglessly.

"I heard that Jiner-kun entrusted his son to you."

Gojo Satoru scratched his ear. "Shinji-kun? Who is that?"

Al said: "Fuguro Shiro."

Gojo Satoru then said, "He is indeed a debt collector."

The blond-haired, blue-eyed boy pointed at Zenin Naoya and said, "Go-chan, is this your friend? If so, I'll beat him less harshly."

"Huh?" Gojo Satoru was amused by him: "How many times have I told you that I only have one friend, Jay."

Zenin Naoya watched Al calmly turn his head and made an "OK" gesture to Gojo Satoru. The next second, the boy's fist hit him directly in the face.

Boom——!

The speed of the Heroic Spirit far exceeded that of a human, and he had no chance to react.

He flew backwards and hit the bus stop sign hard. Warm blood flowed from his forehead and he lost consciousness on the spot.

Other Zen temple people: "..."

Who am I, where am I, and what just happened?

Al slowly stood up and asked in surprise, "That's it?"

He couldn't even take a punch from Berserker, so who gave him the courage to destroy their place?

Gojo Satoru probably didn't expect that Zenin Naoya was so weak that he couldn't even react to his punches. He sighed and said, "It's been a few years since we last met, and you're still the same."

Other Zen temple people: "..."

He scratched his head and said, "Let's take care of these two first, and then... go to Zenin's house and bring Yuta back."

"Okay."

With two bangs, the two men from the Zenin family also died in the dust of Zenin Naoya.

…

Otkotsu Yuta sat in the Zenin family's car and nervously tightened his clothes.

The fact that he was not Fushiguro Megumi had been exposed in the phone call just now. The atmosphere in the car was gloomy to the extreme. Watching the scenery outside the car window change into more and more remote mountains, Otsutsuki was extremely nervous.

What will happen to him?

Will he be killed by these fierce sorcerers?

Will Mr. Al and Mr. Gojo get here in time?

The young boy had never considered the possibility of not being able to receive reinforcements, which was why he dared to step forward and impersonate Fushiguro Megumi.

Huijun should have arrived home safely...

Just as their car was about to drive into the gate of the Zenin family, a beam of purple cursed light shot past the roof of their car, and the roof... was gone.

Otsukoshi Yuta raised his head and found that not only the roof of the car, but also the gate of the Zenin family and the building inside the gate were gone.

“…”

The Zen family members who were in the car all opened their mouths wide.

That terrifying cursed beam cannon just now... directly blew away the Zenin family's barrier and the main building.

One hand picked up Okkotsu Yuta.

"Hey, you're okay, Yuta."

Otkotsu Yuta stared blankly at Gojo Satoru in front of him: "Go, Mr. Gojo..."

Their bodies were floating in the air. Otsutsuki lowered his head and saw that the ancient and solemn Japanese mansion in front of him seemed to have been split in half. The main building in the middle was blown into black ash and was still smoking slowly.

"..." He was shocked: "You, you..."

Gojo Satoru looked at the Zenin family that he had attacked and said unhappily, "Tsk, it's really annoying. Why don't we just overthrow them all?"

Otsutsuki Yuta: “…”

No, not very good!

Before Ottokotsu could say anything to dissuade him, Al said, "Go-chan, they stole our child, so how about we also steal their child?"

"Ha, that's a good idea."

It's pretty good!!!

Al's figure disappeared from the spot. Ten seconds later, he was holding a little girl in a kimono in one hand and said excitedly: "Go-chan, look, they also have twins! Let's kidnap them both!"

Zenin Maki & Zenin Mai who were kidnapped for no apparent reason: "..."

The Zenin family sorcerers who barely escaped the disaster crawled out of the ruins. They pointed at Gojo Satoru and Al in the sky, some were terrified, some were furious, but no one cared about the pair of "hostages" in their hands.

“Let them go!” A woman stumbled out, crying heartbreakingly, “Maki, Mayi——!”

The stunned girls immediately started to struggle:

"mother!"

"Mom! Bad guy, let me go!"

Only the kids’ mother can stand up for them regardless of everything at a time like this.

Al asked hesitantly, "Wu-chan, isn't it a bad idea to separate a mother and daughter?"

Gojo Satoru asked Al, "So what do you want to do?"

Arti suggested, "Why don't we take them all away together?"

Otsutsuki Yuta: “…”

Are you a devil, Mr. Al?

What's even more terrifying is that another devil actually listened to Al's advice.

Gojo Satoru flashed and appeared beside the woman.

He grabbed Otsukotsu Yuta with one hand and the kimono woman with the other, and said arrogantly:

"I am Gojo Satoru. If you want revenge, go find the Gojo family. If you dare to come to the Bankei Cult to cause trouble, I will kill you."
