[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

Huailiang stood outside the giant 'tent' that looked like an upside-down bowl in the Nerima district of Tokyo, and winked at the 'three little ones' who were ready for battle.

Yesterday, she invited Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki and Yuji Itadori to have dinner together, and said that she would also participate in tomorrow's battle.

Megumi Fushiguro had expected this and was not too surprised.

In fact, as time went by, he was able to gradually recall a lot of 'past' memories.

Perhaps it is not quite appropriate to call it the 'past'. Perhaps it is more correct to call it past events that happened in other time and space that are different from the present?

He 'saw' his younger self considering the woman, who was a dozen years older than him, as family.

I also saw that in another world, when I met her again in junior high school, she became a 'peer' who was only three or four years older than me.

In addition to this world, she has transformed herself into a "dormitory manager" and her age seems to have always been a mystery.

Now, she has become a powerful warrior again, heading deep into the barrier to exorcise monsters and cursers.

Megumi Fushiguro was completely numb, completely numb.

Especially when he thought about how he really liked the woman he regarded as a "mother" when he was young, and how his own unreliable teacher announced that the person he loved was a "teacher's wife" -

Even his own father seemed to have special feelings for her, and he couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

As a result, whenever he saw Huai Liang, he was at a loss, with complex emotions such as embarrassment, joy, shame, sadness, etc. mixed in his chest.

Nobara Kugisaki and Yuji Itadori were quite accepting of her change of identity.

One is that after long-term contact, he had suspicions in the juvenile prison, but he kept it secret.

The other one simply didn't think too much about it, and relied on his beast-like intuition to sense that she was a powerful person.

At the last farewell dinner, Megumi Fushiguro ate without any appetite.

But at the end of the meal, when everyone was about to leave, he followed her to the front desk to pay the bill and whispered to her whether they would meet again.

The answers I got were "I don't know either" and "Keiko should take good care of herself. I'm very happy that she has grown up to be who she is now."

In the intense and direct sunlight of the dog days of summer, Fushiguro Megumi took a deep breath and met the gaze cast by Huailiang.

——Please come back safely.

……

As soon as he stepped into the "tent", Huai Liang smelled a familiar smell of blood.

Wrapped in waves of cold and rotten stench, even the body surface temperature dropped by at least 10 degrees.

This feeling made her excited, as if she was back on the front line of the meat grinder-like pollution battlefield.

As she raised her wrist slightly, the body of the spiritual Kraken emerged from the air like an ancient giant beast.

Countless dense tentacles stretched out like a small mountain and crashed into the ever-swirling and spreading black fog.

Okkotsu Yuta touched the ring hanging around his neck and seemed to smell a dangerous scent. The Qiben Rika in the ring became very restless.

During these days, a memory inexplicably appeared in his mind——

No, who could have thought that in such an ordinary 24-hour convenience store, there would be two "monsters" like him and Huai Liang?

No, that's not right. Even if he were together with Rika-chan, they couldn't match the deterrent power displayed by Miss Huai at this moment.

"Well, Otsutsuki, you guys just keep an eye on this area outside and watch for any unusual movements."

Gojo Satoru waved his hand, "Don't get close to the area where the 'black fog' passes, or you will be 'eaten' if you are not careful~"

"Got it, Gojo-sensei. We will definitely guard the outer circle and not let anyone get close."

Gojo Satoru nodded: "The communicator should be debugged and equipped, right?"

"There are sorcerers every 100 meters in the entire outer circle... Also be careful that monsters may come out of the 'black fog' and attack you~"

"Yes!"

After Xia Youjie saw that the other party had finished explaining, he looked at Huai Liang and said, "Let's go."

"Om-"

The silvery-white flowing halo wrapped around Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru tightly like liquid.

Huai Liang grabbed the wrists of the two people on his side, one on the left and one on the right, activated the shadow shuttle, and instantly followed in the direction of Kraken.

The sticky black mist was surging, as if one was swimming in the water.

The moment they entered its coverage area, countless mumbling whispers began to sound in the brains of Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru at the same time.

Like the whispers of a lunatic, or the humming of swarms of insects—

However, after the silver light covering them flashed again, the sneaky noises disappeared completely.

Huai Liang pursed her lips tightly. The closer she got to the direction of the "crack", the more she could feel the concentration of pollution increasing.

If you go into the deepest part, I'm afraid the pollution concentration will be no different from that in the heavily polluted areas.

Fortunately, they made the decision early and did not delay any further.

Otherwise, as time goes by, the strength of the "monsters" created by Noose and the real person will probably become several levels higher.

Compared with the strength of the curse spirits in the world of spells, it can at least break level 2.

The number of missing persons converted from real people may be in the hundreds, which is just a conservative estimate.

Thinking of this, she did not deliberately restrain the Kraken's movement trajectory, but rushed straight towards the crack like a bulldozer.

Mental power naturally has the effect of dissolving and restraining pollution.

With the Kraken's huge body, it would probably crush a lot of the transformation "pollutants" that were watching secretly if it rolled all the way in.

As for those buildings, they collapsed if they collapsed.

Anyway, she couldn't take care of the "post-war reconstruction" thing, and it was already good enough that she could repair the space-time rift for the people on Blue Star.

If she still couldn't find the noose after reaching the deepest part, she wouldn't mind letting the Kraken plow the entire huge area covered by the 'tent'.

"Watch out, it's coming."

Huailiang pulled Gojo Satoru and Geto Xiayou and stopped at the edge of a huge square.

A 'woman' dressed in a traditional men's kimono hovered in the air in the square, and in the air in front of her, there appeared a series of winding cracks like lightning.

The widest crack was almost the size of a palm, and black polluted mist was continuously pouring out.

What is surprising is that the square within a radius of about 300 meters is not covered by black fog.

Instead, it is clearly isolated as a 'clean' area.

The noose seemed to sense something and slowly turned around.

A palm-sized blood-red seal hung on His chest, continuously absorbing the black mist that seeped out from the cracks, and at this moment it had turned black.

"You are here."

His voice was calm, as if he was facing an 'old friend' he hadn't seen for years, "I've been waiting for a long time."
