I survive in a high-risk world by writing essays

mid-December.

It's very close to New Year's Day.

My mother called early and asked me when I was going back to Hokkaido.In previous years, no matter where I lived, because my mother lived in Hokkaido, I would try my best to go there for a few days during the New Year, which can be regarded as fulfilling my mother's idea of ​​reunion.

But this year, I don’t know if I will be able to go back during the New Year. I’m afraid that something will suddenly happen and it will delay me. Stop messing around and enjoy the new year.

So I haven't decided on the time to go to Hokkaido, and I plan to wait until the day before the big dark day to go back.

I don't know if the conjurer will have a holiday for the new year, but when the new year is approaching, there are quite a lot of business trips. Both teachers and students have almost suspended classes and gone on business trips.

Probably to get rid of all the curses before the new year, and then have a good year.

So I have been free during this period of course, and I don’t have any classes to attend. I just walk the cat and dog every day, and write novels.

The good news is that after such a period of time, after abandoning five or six beginnings of "Human World", I finally found the entry point that I feel when writing.After setting the entry point at the beginning, the following plots are all plots that I have already had a general idea of, and I can write them down smoothly.

On December 12th, two days before the big dark day, I was already looking at the train back to Hokkaido, and almost all the first and second graders who went to other places on a business trip to get rid of the curse came back... The reason is that it is almost the same, It was because the four people who came back from the first grade were missing Knotweed and Junpei. As for Gojo Satoru, since there is no news, it must be that he is not done yet.

"Only Fuhei and Wild Rose come back? What about Knotweed and Junpei?"

"The two of them are investigating the curse in another place where weird events happened, and they are not acting together with us." Fu Hei explained.

"I see, isn't it the same? I thought the four of you went to the same place when you went out together." I breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved. Nothing to do, are you planning to go home for the New Year?"

"Live at school."

"Stay in school."

Fuhei and Wild Rose spoke in unison.

"There are quite a lot of people staying in school during the New Year." I seemed to have noticed something, but I didn't say anything, just said with a smile, "The wood charm—that is, the tree in front of the window will ask you to take care of it for a while." It's time, and there are generals and cats, just ask them to ambush? I'll be back in about a week or so."

Fu Hei should come down.

As for why you don't continue to ask Principal Noctua... I haven't asked Principal Noctua whether he will stay in school during the New Year. I always feel that it is not good to ask this just to foster cats and dogs.

I saw that Fuhei sometimes let his black dog Shikigami out for a walk, so I simply asked Fuhei.

"Strange." While chatting, Wild Rose suddenly said, "The two of them went to the investigation site closer than us, and it is estimated to be a first-level curse. How could it be so much later than us?"

"You mean Junpei and Knotweed?" I asked.

"Yes." Wild Qiangwei nodded, and showed us the chat content on the phone, "When Knotweed contacted me on the line the day before yesterday, it said that it was almost resolved and would be back."

"Maybe it was delayed due to some unexpected situation." Fu Hei said this first, and then continued after a pause, "If you are worried, let's go to the place they went to see? After all, there are no other arrangements. .”

Wild Qiangwei turned her head and muttered, "That's okay, I'm not a child anymore."

"If you are worried, you can go and have a look." I asked them where Knotweed and Junpei went, and calculated the time in my mind, "Aichi Prefecture is not too far away, so I can go with you."

I always feel a little uneasy.

Although I know that the four of them are very powerful, I usually feel a little worried when the four of them go out together to exorcise the curse. After all, these children came back many times with serious injuries.

Not to mention that it was separated this time.

"Then let's report to Principal Ye Moth." Fu Hei said.

...

......

However, when we arrived at Principal Ye Moth's place, we happened to meet an auxiliary supervisor, who came out of the place where Principal Ye Moth was staying with a dignified expression and a wounded body.

Fu Hei recognized that this was the supervisor who brought Knotweed and Junpei to Aichi County to investigate the curse, and his heart skipped a beat, "Supervisor Nitta? What's the matter? Where are Knotweed and Yoshino?"

When the supervisor looked up and saw us, she froze for a moment, then showed a guilty expression, "Sorry."

"Student Yoshino was seriously injured. Student Knotweed...was possessed by Su Nuo and killed 15 people who were present at the time. His whereabouts are currently unknown."

...what?

Not only Fu Hei and Wild Rose were shocked by the sudden news, but I also suspected for a moment that I had heard it wrong.

Three days before the new year, why did Shunping become seriously injured in a blink of an eye, the knotweed was possessed and murdered, and his whereabouts are unknown?

It's really... There is no sign of this matter at all.

"Please describe the situation at that time in detail, can you?" I stabilized my mood and stepped forward to help the injured supervisor.

"The thing is like this..." Miss Supervision showed a weak wry smile, and slowly described the situation.

Knotweed and Junpei received an investigation mission from Aichi Prefecture. At the beginning, "someone was killed in his sleep in the early morning, and the common characteristics of the victims were slope feet and males." In the preliminary judgment, there was a curse, which was a first-class curse. .

But after the investigation started, as far as the supervisor knew, the murder of the Pozu man was not caused by a curse, but by a serial murderer.The reason why it was judged as a first-level cursed riot was because a victim who was killed by a curse happened to be mixed in among the dead. This was defined as a cursed riot. Two teenagers.

——Of course, the first-level curse is actually not a first-level curse, but a super-level curse, but it was simply judged to be a first-level curse because of information concealment.

Finally, when the knotweed and Junping found out both the serial murderer and the curse, the curse actually merged into the body of the serial murderer, and there were 15 ordinary people who were taken hostage by the serial murderer at the scene.

According to Ms. Supervisor, at that time, Su Nuo in the body of Polygonum cuspidatum was possessed for some reason. When she went to check the situation, there were only 15 ordinary people and the body of a serial murderer, and the seriously injured Junpei.

After listening, Fu Hei's expression was gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking. Wild Qiangwei clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, and said immediately, "Let's go to Aichi County now!"

My anxious mood gradually calmed down, and I simulated the occurrence of this incident in my brain according to Miss Supervisor's description.

"Wait a minute, where is the last location?" I asked with a frown.

"An abandoned factory." Miss Supervisor said.

"So how is Junpei now?"

"He's being treated by Nitro, you don't have to worry." These words were said by Principal Noctua.

A tall figure walked out of the room. Although he was wearing sunglasses that covered his eyes, he could still see a dignified expression.

"Supervisor Nitta, go and receive treatment first." Principal Ye Moth said something to Ms. Supervisor, and motioned for us to follow him into the Japanese room.

And the half-lit candles in the room, flickering to outline the outline of the cursed remains piled up in the room.

Principal Ye Moth turned around, staring at us behind the sunglasses, "You are going to Aichi County, right?"

"Principal, are you going to stop us?" Fu Hei raised his head.

Principal Night Moth took a look at Fu Hei and shook his head, "No, since you are going, go now and find the knotweed before..."

The omission of 'before...' in Principal Night Moth's words made people very concerned.

What is it before.

Fu Hei seemed to understand, and frowned, "You mean, someone will grab the knotweed stick? But there are still many doubts in this matter, and there may be other reasons."

"The important thing is not the cause and process, but the result." Principal Ye Moth's voice was low, "and the result was that the knotweed, as a container for Su Nuo, released Su Nuo, causing the deaths of 16 people. At the beginning, the high-level officials held My opinion is to impose the death penalty on the knotweed stick, and it was Wu who won a suspended sentence for him. This matter will most likely be used as an important condition for the ruling, and then the death penalty will be brought up again."

All of a sudden, I thought of those shameless high-ranking people in the magic world that I had seen in that room full of door panels last time.

"Judges don't talk about the death penalty every day. It seems that those old people are not only shameless, but also blind to the law." I let out a sigh of relief, at least to save some face for the principal of the High School of Conjuration. , did not complain loudly in front of his face, but said something in a low voice, which was probably heard by Fu Hei and Wild Rose who were a little closer.

But Principal Night Moth probably guessed what I would say.

"Then let's go, find that kid and ask what's going on!" Wild Rose said.

Now that we set off immediately, we didn't delay, and immediately went down the mountain to the Shinkansen railway station after leaving the principal's side, and bought the nearest ticket to Aichi Prefecture.

During such a period of waiting, I just remembered to send a message to Gojo Satoru to tell him the situation here.

Wutiao Satoru hadn't appeared at the High School of Conjuration for almost five or six days, either on a business trip or on the way, so of course he had to tell him about what happened to the knotweed stick.

However, there was no reply after the message was sent.

According to Gojo Satoru's habits, he generally doesn't seem to turn on the Do Not Disturb mode, as long as there is a message, he will reply quickly. I remember a few times when I took time to reply to the message on the way to exorcise the curse, I came with a copy of the curse. selfies of... something.

Thoughtfully, I tapped the phone screen with my fingertips, looked up and asked Fu Hei and Wild Rose.

"Can you contact Gojo Satoru?"

Fu Hei was startled, took out his phone and operated it for a while, probably sent a message.There was no reply after a while, and after thinking for a while, he made a direct call.

No one picked up.
