The Mystery of Fangshi Edo

Regarding the follow-up matters of the Salvation Ranch, the handling of it in the magic world is very simple.

After investigation, they found some supernatural beings cultivated in the Salvation Ranch, most of them were not threatening, and were released after a little questioning.

A few who have degenerated into curse masters because of violating the rules of curse masters have also been detained and monitored for a long time.

Fang Shi Yangming thought for a moment and asked, "So simple?"

"What? You think they should all be locked up or disposed of?"

"That's not enough," he laughed dryly, "it's just that an ordinary person like me was almost disposed of as an auxiliary supervisor, so I was a little surprised by this arrangement."

"What they are afraid of is not pure power." Gojo Satoru spread his hands, "You will be guarded only because I am the one who recommended you to join the job."

The implication is many.

For Gojo Wu, who intends to innovate, the upper management undoubtedly adopted an attitude of jealousy and secret suppression, but they would not be so stupid as to directly deal with the strongest human beings, so they turned their attention to those who stood on Gojo Wu's side, even the mere Fang Shi Yangming, who was 'suspected' to have communicated with Gojo Satoru, was not let go, and whenever he had the opportunity, he encountered an accident.

...Should I say sharp?Or overreact?

However, such an upper class in the magic world chose to turn a blind eye to the matter of the Salvation Ranch.

"……I see."

Fang Shi Yangming nodded thoughtfully.

I'm afraid there are only two possibilities, either the upper echelons intend to win over those 'sheep' who are different from ordinary conjurers to check and balance Gojo Satoru, or...

"The establishment of the Salvation Ranch was originally acquiesced by them, and they even secretly funded the establishment." Gojo Satoru stretched out a finger, knocked down the small decoration on the table, and made a soft bang, "Including those children, Maybe some of them were specially sent there.”

"Where's the evidence?"

"Too lazy to look for it." The silver-haired conjurer laughed and said it as a matter of course, "But I have such an intuition."

"..."

Although it would be rash to convict others based on intuition alone, Fang Shi Yangming did not raise any doubts.

As early as in Xiushui, he had seen Ningtian Jinwang's powerful analytical ability to skip the answering process and get the truth directly, and he also suffered for it.

This is the peculiar talent of those who are called 'geniuses', not to mention Wujo Satoru.

Rather than saying it is intuition, it is better to say that the details of the process have been collected and checked in the depths of the brain, and the conclusion has been reached without the person noticing it.

"Leaving aside this matter for the time being," Gojo Satoru interrupted his thinking, "It's about time you told me?"

"what?"

"Now even if you reset the timeline, there is no way to save Jie, what are you going to do?"

"Ah, that's right," Fang Shi Yangming said, "It's not realistic to ask the soil spider to prepare a dream again. That guy is very weak now, and it's estimated that he will reach his limit just this time, so that..."

"If you dare to lie, I will kill you."

Gojo Satoru had a smile on his face, but his voice didn't mean to be joking at all.

...As expected of being the strongest human being.Fang Shi Yangming thought in his heart.Although he couldn't see his eyes, he also had the urge to break out in a cold sweat.

So he said bluntly: "I'm sorry."

"……Um?"

"Actually, I lied about two things."

If someone at the table next to him was secretly watching this scene, he would probably think it was a dramatic plot, because Fang Shi Yangming's expression at this moment was almost as if he wanted to say "Actually, I'm with your girlfriend".

"Although it was a dream created by the Dream Land Spider, since this place happened a year ago, this dream cannot be replaced with reality from the very beginning. It just allows the two of us to retain our memories to obtain information."

"I've guessed this more or less." If the past could be easily changed, the witch who returned to Mo's house would have already changed the fact that she was defeated, "What else?"

Fang Shi Yangming took a deep breath, then smiled and said:

"After disguising as a super-level curse spirit, my original intention was to find Miya, but in the end I accidentally met 'Xia Youjie', or an existence that occupied his corpse, and formed an alliance with that guy."

The sound of tables and chairs colliding.

The sound of a water glass being knocked over.

The exclamation of the clerk, the screams and whispers of the customers, all kinds of voices mixed together for a while.

But Fang Shi Yangming couldn't hear all of this, or he didn't have time to take care of it at all.

"Cough uh..."

Because on his neck, where the trachea was, was being strangled tightly by Gojo Satoru with one hand, not even a sliver of air could come in or out.

The hands subconsciously wanted to separate them, but in the end they couldn't even touch them, and they were trapped in infinite stillness at a distance of two or three centimeters.

...This has gone beyond the scope of human beings, and has developed to other species, right?

Even at this life-threatening critical moment, when blood vessels were blocked and his eyes turned black, he was still thinking wildly.

If this person really wanted to kill himself, he probably wouldn't even need a single finger.

"Where is that thing?" Gojo Satoru was expressionless.

"Cough cough..."

You gave me a chance to speak.He tried his best to express his opinion with his eyes.

Seemingly aware of this, the strongest human being finally let go of him.

Fang Shi Yangming immediately sat back on the chair, with a layer of cold sweat on his back and bursts of gold stars in front of his eyes, but even so, he still covered his neck with one hand, suppressed the urge to retch, and reluctantly turned to the clerk who came over. The lady smiled.

"It's okay...well, I'm very sorry...it was just a conflict."

Perhaps in the eyes of normal people, Gojo Satoru's actions just now didn't seem to use much effort, and it wasn't a move that was clearly intended to kill people, so the clerk turned and left after looking worriedly between the two of them for a while.

...In fact, if possible, I would like to ask you to call the police for me.

I'm afraid the neck is already congested, even if it's a dream, it's too painful.

Fang Shi Yangming squinted his eyes and sighed, straightened the collar of his coat, and then looked at Gojo Satoru who also sat back on the chair.

"I thought you would have guessed even this?"

"Hahaha," Wujo Satoru grinned, "How could I know that you are so stupid that even the strongest human beings dare to use you? Tell me about that guy, or I will kill you time and time again in this dream of infinite reincarnation. Fall until you lose even consciousness."

However, facing such a threat of death, Fang Shi Yangming did not feel afraid.

"That's troublesome." He frowned in distress, and then said, "But I don't think you should do this."

Gojo Satoru almost laughed out loud: "Do you think I'm the kind of righteous hero who hasn't killed anyone?"

"No," Fang Shi Yangming replied unhurriedly, "There are many reasons. For example, if you kill me, you will not get the information. For example, when the dream is reset, the spirit will be reset. I have also experienced that The situation of being killed infinitely, so you won't go crazy because of this, but it will only waste your own time... But there is the most important thing,

— because you're not the right human being, and neither am I. "

……

"Huh... finally finished writing."

Freelance reporter Hisako Magong stretched himself in his room, and then sent the newly edited manuscript to the editor's mailbox.

Writing articles with unknown information, and then submitting articles to make money, this is her way of life.

Glancing at her watch, it was already late at night, but it wasn't a necessary time for her to sleep.

"Let's see... there is a delayed press conference tomorrow, I hope it won't be delayed this time."

While muttering, she glanced at the calendar by the way.

In a few weeks it will be college holidays.

At the same time, it was also the day when she and Oribe Taishang made an appointment to explore the mystery of Xiushui Village.

Back when Taichang was able to go to the university of folklore, she also contributed in it. Otherwise, the children from Xiushui Village, who don't even know what a computer or mobile phone is, might miss it when they register at the university because of strange reasons for getting lost. maybe.

In any case, it's a bit outrageous to spend three days with only [-] yen as food expenses.

"And I got help from Shinna Myoshin, so I have to repay the favor."

Thinking of a strange encounter where he was rescued by raccoon dogs and Taichang, Magong Hisako murmured.

"Fortunately, it has stabilized since then. It seems that even if it has experienced mysterious incidents, it will not always be targeted."

"Jingle Bell"

"Alas!"

The phone rang suddenly, and she shivered in fright.

"Don't scare me..."

Thinking about it carefully, what you just said is like a flag.

Shaking her head hard to put this thought behind her, she picked up the phone and found that the caller displayed on it was Fang Shi Yangming.

"……Hey?"

"Ah, Miss Ma Gong, I'm very sorry to call you at this time." The voice on the other side of the phone revealed a deep apology, "Are you free now?"

Calling someone late at night and actually asking if they are free, in the eyes of ordinary people, this may be a speech that lacks basic common sense.

But Hisako Magong has long been used to the days when facing the news, even in the early morning, she has to get up to conduct interviews. In terms of professionalism, she will not lose to anyone.

So she replied: "Yes, yes...but what do you want from me?"

"I found the ruins of an underground organization, and found some strange documents inside, which may require your knowledge of folklore." Fang Shi Yangming said, "The photos have been sent to your mobile phone."

"Strange file? ... Wait, what is this?"

Her curiosity was suddenly aroused.

To talk about the reason... Probably the content on the photo doesn't seem to belong to any existing civilization she knows.

"You need to go to the scene to see the specific content."

"Ah, then the day after tomorrow? I have something to do tomorrow."

"Is it okay today? It will probably be sealed off tomorrow."

"...Uh, even if you say that, I probably won't be able to catch up?" Hisako Magong hesitated, "Are you in such a hurry?"

"Don't worry about the distance."

"Dong Dong"

There was a knocking sound from outside the window.

Ma Gongjiuzi turned his head away, and at the same time, Fang Shi Yangming's words came over the phone.

"Because the person who picked you up has already passed."

——Under the moonlight outside the window, a silver-haired man in black was standing there, waving to her.

Seems like a pretty normal scenario.

If you ignore that this is the fourth floor.

……

Half an hour ago.

"I came to the Salvation Ranch for two purposes. One is to find the research materials of the Seven Shards of Black Goat," Fang Shi Yangming said, "The other is to find another important research for the rancher besides 'breeding sheep'. So come to do it." Make a deal, Mr. Gojo."

Gojo Satoru didn't answer, he raised his chin and waited for his next words.

"I will rescue Mr. Xia You in reality, and hand over the existence that occupies his body to you."

"Let's just ask, assuming I listened to you with a twitch, what are my conditions?"

"Well... the specific implementation steps will be a bit complicated, but I have already mentioned the final goal."

Fang Shi Yangming said.

"What you said at the Kamo branch is not a lie, and your help is needed for this.

——The decaying world of spells, curse spirits, curses, mountains of corpses and seas of blood from companions... let everything disappear. "
