cat's revenge

Time went back to the moment before the "tent" was lowered.

After the priest in charge of taking care of the shrine came back from the back mountain, he happened to meet Wujo and Nanami who entered the back house without authorization and blocked him in the back house.

This priest has been serving this place for many years, and taking care of this shrine can be said to be their family's "family job", probably because they have stayed in the shrine for a long time, Mingming is not very old, but it looks like the Her skin was hollowed out, and she stayed up all night without sleep, resulting in sunken cheeks and a sallow complexion.

The whole person was dressed in the fasting palace clothes, like a moving mummy, which could be smashed into a ball of bones with a hard slap.

Of course, Qihai Jianren frowned slightly at this appearance.

Wutiao leaned aside calmly, blocking the way of the priest.

He should be in his 30s, but he looks like he is at least 50 years old. The spirit of being a "human" is almost invisible in his body, replaced by the black filth that lingers on his body—maybe not It is more appropriate to call it filthy and cursed.

When the latter saw these two visitors who were dressed completely differently from ordinary guests, he realized that the two of them would suddenly come here not for excitement.

"Excuse me, do you have anything to do?" The priest's voice sounded very hoarse, with a tentative sense of cautiousness, like a wild animal waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Wujo raised one eyebrow slightly.

Of course, he shows his bad character without any scruples in his daily life, and happily leaves the work to his students and juniors—for example, Fu Heihui, another young magician who is nominally under his guardianship. , has been thrown out by him to practice together with other senior conjurers, so that up to now he has not seen his nominal "sister" from the sky, Yuki Kurihualuo.

But he will not suddenly twitch while working and do annoying things on purpose.

He just quietly folded his arms and leaned aside, looking at the priest who had been reduced to half a walking corpse.

Qihai is also a seasoned conjurer. From the eyes of the other party's godless eyes, he has already convinced the fact that the other party is cursed.

However, the other party is still a "human being".

So he just straightened up and pulled his magic tool from behind, a blunt knife wrapped in layers of speckled bandages that at first glance made one wonder if the thing could really work. Cut people off.

His eyes fell on the shrine that exuded the most ominous atmosphere in the whole room.

The priest realized that it was impossible for him to get away with being false and deceitful, and when he did not hide the truth from the two conjurers, his withered and thin body suddenly burst out with unexpected speed and strength, and he rushed up and hugged the enshrined " The shrine of Tachibana's ashes: "I know, you are conjurers, right! You are here to take Tachibana, right?"

From his hoarse throat came a bloody curse: "No one can take Juju, no one, she belongs to me alone!"

Because of being with the curse for a long time, the body of the priest has been deeply infected by the curse, so that the teeth have started to turn black. Seeing that the situation is going out of control, Qihai hastened to destroy the shrine in his hand first. Knowing that the priest suddenly went crazy, he passed the sharp part of the top of the specially shaped shrine through his chin, and directly pierced his head.

Blood gushed out from the wound, covering the already ominous shrine.

The development of this situation was too unexpected. With the sacrifice of the priest's life as a turning point, a strange red light was released from the shrine. This light diffracted from the center of the shrine, and finally enveloped the entire mountain in it .

By the time the two people in the center of the light reacted, they had already disappeared from each other.

"Hmm..." Gojo Satoru scratched his cheek, stretched out his hand and untied the bandage on his face, "It's not a simple field." He put his hand on his chin, "Although you can mess around, it will affect the Ordinary people who are still in the shrine—are they still alive?" He put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood with his head held high in a space like a sea of ​​blood, and said to himself, "Composite space? It's the same as Oiran Square Structure... Is Nanami in another dimension?"

"So that's it...it's not just a curse spirit."

Suddenly, as if he had noticed something unexpected, Gojo Wu Cang's blue eyes narrowed slightly: "Huh?" Afterwards, the most powerful ceiling in the entire magician world couldn't help but burst out laughing. : "Really, it's too silly and cute to run in even after you've gone out."

Qihai seems to be able to hold on for a while, so let's bring ordinary people out first.

The moment Yuki broke into the "tent", the first thing she saw was a mighty oiran team that came stepping forward with the sound of shamisen clanging music.

It's just that when she widened her eyes to see everything in front of her, she found that - in the whole team, no one had "five senses", a pale face covered with charming hair, wrapped in gorgeous clothes , The oiran's fingernails on the man's shoulders are shining like rubies, except... there is no face.

This gave the whole team a creepy and terrifying atmosphere.

For Yuki, she has seen many strange, terrifying, and hideous aliens, but such a strange picture still made her furry subconsciously, and goosebumps crawled almost all over her back.

It's just that these figures seemed to be unable to see her, they just walked forward slowly on their own, and it seemed that they had no intention of attacking Yuki, so Yuki covered her mouth with her hand and forced herself to calm down.

Now, the most important thing is to determine how many people in this field are stuck.

Although Gojo Satoru gave almost nothing to Yuki, no matter some of the most basic classifications in the magic world, what is the "window", and when should the supervisor contact, none of these were given to her.

Most of the time spent with Gojo Satoru was spent dealing with this man's off-line acting like a baby, but...

Although Gojo Satoru has expressed several times that "there is no need to put too much pressure on yourself" and "just listen to this kind of thing", Yuki is almost sure - he will still try his best to save those who are trapped in the curse common people.

Yuki jumped onto the beams of the buildings on both sides of the road—unexpectedly, although this scene had a strange sense of "falseness", the tactile sensation of her feet landing on the ground was very real.

The girl with cat ears took a deep breath, closed her eyes and sniffed the air around her.

"...the smell of cologne, this is Lord Qihai, in the direction of the east."

"It smells very sweet. It's Mr. Wutiao, at the southernmost point."

"This is the smell of Sato, he should still be alive... A little to the west is the smell of a living person that I have never smelled before."

"Also, it smells a little bit of blood... There is also a strong smell of powder... Is it... the breath of a curse spirit?"

Relying on the unusually keen sense of smell from the "cat", the girl simply determined the location and number of people still in the barrier, but there was a smell that made her a little puzzled.

It was very light, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, the bitterness of traditional Chinese medicine, sandalwood, and the salty smell of sea water like gossamer. There is no doubt that this should be the breath of "human", but this smell is full of A sense of lightness that is very different from "people".

Moreover, this flavor is recent.

For Yuki, who was familiar with the smell of "mantra", she could almost immediately confirm that this was not a "mantra spirit", but an ordinary person who was sealed in a barrier like Nanami and others besides Gojo.

"This person is the closest, so let's go to him first." Yuki thought.

The girl spread her legs and ran towards the direction where the smell came from. Of course, the reason why she chose him as the first person was because besides the smell, this person also carried something like a bell with him, which could help the smell. Ji listened to the sound to identify his position, and found his position faster.

Yuki jumped to the ground from the ridge of the house, and landed right in front of the young man.

It's just... She herself was shocked by the person in front of her.

It was a young man wearing a kimono, which can be regarded as a strange costume in this era. In terms of appearance, he was quite handsome, but people who saw him would be impressed by his slightly longer and pointed ears than ordinary people at first glance. , and attracted by the weird tattoos on his face that look like some kind of formation.

That tattoo is gorgeous to the point of bewitching.

The young man glanced at her, and the sword with the ghost face carved in his hand made a "clack" sound.

"So that's it." He sighed softly as if talking to himself, then turned around and cast his eyes on the most distant castle tower.

"...are they fused together?"

"Um...excuse me, are you also a conjurer?" Yuki doesn't know many conjurers, but she has habitually regarded people with strange clothes and weapons in their hands as conjurers.

The man's eyes did not move away from the castle tower, he just said slowly: "It's okay...well." It seemed that he didn't intend to explain what happened before him.

His speaking speed was quite slow, and his voice was pleasant, as if he was reciting waka.

"Excuse me, what does it mean to be fused together?" Yuki asked.

The other party sighed lightly: "The shape is not yet complete." He lowered his eyes to look at the ghost-faced sword in his hand, and then set his eyes on Yuki.

"Your clothes are torn." The young man reminded him kindly.

Yuki: ...

Only then did she feel that her neckline was a little chilly, and when she looked down, there was a big tear on the part below her left shoulder, and the pink underwear she was wearing inside was faintly visible.

Yuki: ...

"Yuki-chan." A frivolous voice descended from the sky and landed on Yuki's side accurately, "Ah la." The man made an expected voice, "Your clothes are torn."

Gojo Satoru pointed it out mercilessly, and moved his face close to Yuki, letting her face his beautiful, transparent blue eyes, and even reached out and fiddled with the fragments of Yuki's collar.

Yuki: ...

"I know, teacher, you don't need to deliberately remind me again like this!" She was just about to blow her hair when she was covered by a black coat.

Gojo Satoru shook his index finger: "Okay, let's put it on first." He was wearing a baggy black T-shirt underneath, and because of his movements, a small half of his shoulders were exposed.

In other words, from just now, he took a step forward to block the sight of that strange young man.

The latter had no joy or sorrow on his face, and seemed to have no emotional fluctuations at all: "The descendants of Wutiao...?"

"This is really interesting. I always thought it was something like an urban legend." Wujo Satoru leaned over, almost touching the young man's face.

The latter took a step back, staggering five behaviors with no sense of distance.

Yuki on the side zipped up, because Gojo was so tall that wearing Gojo Satoru's black coat looked like she was wearing a short skirt.

"Teacher, do you know that person?" She trotted towards Gojo Satoru.

"Hmm... It can't be regarded as acquaintance, more or less I heard about it when I was a child, this person can be regarded as an urban legend in the world of magicians. It seems that the 'things' here are really integrated together."

——It's "melting together" again.

Exactly the same as what the youth said.

"So, what's coming together?" Yuki blinked.

Although she would choose to go to ordinary people first, staying with Gojo Satoru really made her feel extremely at ease.

"Curse spirit and..." Gojo thought for a while, and said another word that Yuki heard for the first time, "'Monster'."
