attack on rotten oranges
Chapter 19 Late July 2005
What happens if you keep pouring into a glass that is already full?
Bunbu Shuhei scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his head, the cool feeling temporarily soothed the irritability in his heart.
He put his hands on the edge of the sink and looked up at himself in the mirror.
The answer, of course, is overflow.
In the mirror, the outer layer of the smoky gray hair of the teenager was wet with water, and it fell pitifully on his forehead, with water droplets hanging on the tip of his hair.The pale golden pupils are burning, burning with the unyielding branded deep in the soul.
The boy and the self outside the mirror looked at each other, the stubbornness and madness revealed in his bones, like a wounded lone wolf walking alone in the torrential rain.
Bunbu Shuhei is already a full cup——
When he was young, he shared his life with his older sister Yue Bunbu by incarnating from a cursed object.The two guard each other and depend on each other, and the elder sister's art has already been engraved into Shuhei Bunbube's body.
The two did not specifically assess the level of Bunbu Yue, because Bunbu Shuhei has always refused to compare his relatives with other cursed objects.
However, if calculated according to the number of lives that Shuhei Bunbuya had destroyed through the cooperation of the two siblings, Yue Bunbukura was at least infinitely close to the first-level level of the super class.
Such beings, no matter what, would not be willing to share containers with other spell objects.
Not to mention, Bunbu Shuhei is the younger brother that Bunbu Yue devoted himself to protecting.
Drops of water fell from the tips of her hair.
The water marks slid from the cheeks to the neck, lingered on the collarbone for a while, then continued to extend, and were finally absorbed by the black sports vest.
Under the light, the traces of water glistened.
What was more striking than the watery light was the bright red lines that spread across Shuhei Bunbube's right side.
The lines of the curse pattern twisted into the shape of flames, twisting and coiling around the young man's pale skin.
The flames invaded from the waist and went up the spine.
Out of Bunbu Shuhei's sight, the incantations wantonly surrounded the protruding butterfly bone on the thin body, then wrapped around the shoulders, supported the jaw, and finally stayed on the side of the boy's ear...
It seemed as if he wanted to hold the gray-haired boy in his arms and burn him to death.
Bunbu Shuhei's figure can only be described as thin. Although he has the same origin as his sister, the burden of the cursed body still affects his health. Coupled with the experience of wandering on the streets and his picky eating habits, he is in the best condition Sometimes there is only a thin layer of muscle.
But it is this kind of thinness, mixed with a different kind of beauty——
The bloody flame patterns are in stark contrast to the young man's pale skin. Shuhei Bunbube's bright golden pupils are like sparks, adding the finishing touch to this contrasting picture.
But the young man lowered his eyes, restrained the light in his eyes, settled his aura, and tried his best to hide the thorns in his character——
Shuhei Bunbe's temperament should be sharp. The experience in Yokohama has polished him into a sword that shines brightly. Only when he is put into a sheath made of a smile can those unknown creatures living in the dark feel safe.
But how to laugh is also a science.
The young man has not yet accumulated enough strength, and still needs to play the image of a respectful, obedient and obedient heir according to the wishes of the head of the family and the elders.
Bunbu Shuhei smiled at himself in the mirror. The smile was not as gentle as Xia Youjie's from the heart, but it didn't have any unnatural restraint. .
He can show that he is biting each other with a small character like Makoto Bunbu, but he can't take the initiative to destroy the resolution of the upper echelons of the magic world.
Takumi Kataoka and the "accident" that happened yesterday are almost approaching the bottom line of the upper echelon's tolerance for him...
Shuhei thought.
The gray-haired boy stroked the broken hair on the right side behind his ear, and raised his right hand to observe under the light.
Yesterday, this bloody "curse" was infected from the right hand...
***
Bunbu Shuhei and the second elder entered the warehouse where the magic tools were stored in the taboo.
The warehouse was cool and quiet, silent.
The footsteps of the two echoed between the storage cabinets.Due to the background of the environment, the rubbing sound of the pen tip and the paper is very clear and loud when registering and writing.
In the silence, Bunbu Shuhei inexplicably felt his blood boil.
The heart was beating loudly, and the blood was like waves hitting the rocks at high tide, hitting the eardrums forcefully one after another.
Bunbu Shuhei could feel his body temperature rising, and his breathing also became quicker.
Reason is constantly warning the abnormality, but instinct is urging him forward, forward...
In front of him, something was attracting Shuhei Bunbube, which gave him a very friendly feeling.
"Second Elder, the air in Curry is too turbid, how about we go out first, wait for the ventilation and then come in?"
Being on the safe side, Shuhei the Ministry of Education resolutely decided to evacuate the scene.
For an extra layer of insurance, he consciously woke up the sleeping Yue Bunbube, and the siblings were on guard together.
Thinking that Shuhei Bunbu was too particular, after making a few rounds of sarcasm, the second elder still couldn't resist Shuhei Bunbu's insistence, and walked out of the taboo together.
however……
Just after they took two steps towards the exit, the cabinet in the deepest part of the taboo overturned for no reason.
In addition to common swords and weapons, the spell tools of the Bunbu family are mostly in the form of paper, pen, scrolls, etc. to assist in making spells.
The cabinet fell over, and the small spell tools stored on it were scattered all over the place, and some of them were even damaged by the falling cabinet.
"What, what's going on?" The second elder hurriedly rushed to the mess on the ground, sighing heartbroken.
Bunbu Shuhei was vigilant, so he just turned his body back, unwilling to take a step closer to the mess.
Before the second elder rushed to the fallen cupboard, a scroll rolled out of the ruins slowly by itself, with a clear goal, pointing directly at Shuhei Bunbu.
The jackknife fell silently into his hand, Shuhei Bunbe stared at the scroll approaching, pressed the back of the knife with his thumb, and took two steps back.
As the scroll got closer, the feeling that attracted Bunbu Shuhei and made him tremble became stronger.
"What is this?" The second elder took two steps across, blocking the straight line from the scroll to the Wenbu repair.
Although he has always been hostile to the Second Elder, at this time, Bunbu Shuhei still felt a little grateful to the Second Elder.He took two steps back towards the door again, watching the second elder vigilantly stop the scroll, bent down, and stretched out his hand to it...
Before the old man's hand touched the surface of the scroll, the ribbon that fixed the scroll fell apart automatically...
The scroll unfolded, and there was a framed piece of white silk filled with strange blood characters of unknown meaning.
This is very similar to the order that Shuhei Bunbu saw at Takumi Kataoka, and Makoto Bunbu, which made Shuhei Bunbu instantly alert.
Is this a curse?Or a magic tool?
"What is this?" The Second Elder lifted the dirty scroll with two fingers.
The Second Elder was a little puzzled. He had been in charge of the Ministry of Education's Jiku for many years, and he had never seen such a magic tool in his impression. He couldn't match it with any name on the list of items in the Jiku.
Moreover, this scroll is too dirty.The old man looked disgusted.
The Jiku is cleaned by a special person, and it is impossible to get so much dust by just rolling a section of the stone road.The second elder planned to reprimand the cleaning servants.
Really unwilling to touch such a dirty thing again, the Second Elder suddenly remembered that he brought a free laborer in.
He looked around, and was extremely dissatisfied to find that Shuhei Bunbube was still there, and even had a tendency to move away, so he couldn't help but angrily said: "Hey!..."
The moment he turned to Bunbu Shuhei with the scroll in his hand, the blood on the white silk became agitated.
In the next second, the blood characters merged into a stream, separated from the surface of the white silk, and shot towards Wenbu Shuhei's eyebrows like an arrow from a string.
The form of the blood characters is very similar to the controlled spell under [Spell Manipulation], but it cannot be forcibly manipulated by Bunbu Shuhei.
Shuhei Bunbe dodged short, while slashing horizontally with the saber in his right hand.
He successfully cut off the blood characters.
However, these blood characters are no longer like the spells controlled by [Spell Manipulation]. Even if they were cut off, they did not dissipate. Instead, they fused together again like a liquid.
Bunbe Shuhei kept slashing to block it, while trying to retreat—even if a cursed object that no one controls can actively attack, it has other restrictions.Looking at the fact that the scroll didn't release the blood characters until close, its limitation is probably the attack distance.
However, the second elder holding the scroll seemed to be startled by the accident at first, but after reacting, he actually started to approach Shuhei Bunbu who was fighting.
The old man shouted hypocritically: "Young Master, be careful."
In fact, his approach nullified Shuhei Bunbu's previous efforts, and the situation fell into a more critical situation.
Bunbu Shuhei remembered the old man in his heart, stepped on his feet, and jumped back six or seven steps.
He gripped the jackknife tightly, the handle of the knife hurting his bones.
To be entangled with these bloody characters, Bunbu Shuhei needed ten times more concentration and perseverance than usual.
Because he couldn't feel the killing intent on this bloody character, the sense of familiarity and intimacy conveyed to him was also shaking his will.
How should a person be vigilant against hostile parts of his body?
This sounded strange, but it was indeed Shuhei Bunbube's feeling—those bloody characters seemed to be a part of him, and he was looking for a way to return.
Shuhei Bunbe took a deep breath, not being shaken by this unprovoked hallucination.
The good sign is that the bloody character has been fighting with people for too long and was cut off several times. The energy supporting its activities seems to be insufficient, and its movements slow down, as if it is at the end of its strength.
Bunbu Shuhei concentrated his energy and cut off the blood characters again.
However, this time, the scarlet characters no longer focused on targeting Bunbu Shuhei's eyebrows.It divided into two strands, wrapped the blade like a liquid, and slid along the blade to Shuhei Bunbube's right hand...
"Sister!" Bunbu Shuhei felt that the magic power was being infected, and shouted urgently in his heart.
"Here we come!" The black spell on the left arm spread, Bunbe Yue took over the body instantly, mobilized the spell power and the blood to counteract it, and tried to drive it out.
In an instant, the curse flail was destroyed by the impact of the magic power, and the atmosphere of Bunbu Youhua was full of taboo...
It's just that even Bunbu Youe couldn't stop the fusion of blood characters, and a large area of flame patterns began to bloom upwards...
***
Part of the lines have disappeared... Shuhei Bunbu stretched his five fingers on his right hand.
He clearly remembered that when he was possessed by that bloody character yesterday, his right arm was covered in bloody flames from wrist to shoulder.After just one night, the lines on the arms disappeared.
Did it dissipate, or merge?
Shuhei Bunbu carefully felt his own spell power, but couldn't find anything unusual.
"That thing is not a curse thing." Bunbu Yue was still awake at this time, with a muffled voice.
If it is a cursed object, it is absolutely impossible to successfully accept the flesh under her defense.
"I know," Bunbu Shuhei wiped the water away, "but the upper echelon thinks so."
"Blame me," Yue blamed himself, "I overreacted, and my breath leaked out."
"No," Bunbu Shuhei curled his lips into a smile, "It's because the upper echelon wanted to classify this thing as a cursed object. No matter whether we leaked the breath or not, it would be the result now."
He went to the window and looked down.
The establishment of Manga in Kyoto directly utilizes the ancient buildings with a long history.Therefore, the modern buildings among them are also decorated with complicated and fine lines to match the vicissitudes of historical accumulation.
After yesterday's incident, Shuhei Bunbu was urgently transferred to Mataka in Kyoto and detained.
Since the incident has not yet been settled, and the status of the heir to the Bunbu family is not just used to make a good name, the principal of Kyoto, Rakuganji Kashinobu, had to vacate an entire building for the temporary placement of Bunbu Shuhei.
Therefore, in addition to not being able to come and go at will, Shuhei Wenbu's living conditions even surpassed when he was in Tokyo.
"This thing... ah, now I know it's called [Akama]." Wenbu Shuhei took the booklet he had rushed back to his room before he was imprisoned, and turned to the last page.
Article 37 item registration suddenly appeared on the back of page 371 after yesterday’s incident in the article list of the Ministry of Education’s Jiaji Library——
Item 370: [Chi Zhen], mantra ■, shaped like deficit white silk.
The most important words were blacked out... Shuhei Bunbu had a slight headache.
Now is not the time to worry about the sudden appearance of the registration records on the item list, Shuhei Bunbu must quickly find evidence to exonerate himself.
"Now there are two possibilities." Bunbu Shuhei said to himself.
"One, the upper layer is not sure about the attributes of [Chizhen], because our breath leaked, so it was identified as a curse."
"Second, the upper layer knows that [Chizhen] is not a curse object, but for some purpose, it needs to be judged as a curse object."
"Looking at the current situation, the higher-ups are eager to execute me... In addition, the appearance of [Chi Zhen] is similar to the curse item customized by Makoto Bunbu, so it can be determined that [Chi Zhen] is related to the secrets of the magic world."
"The second scenario is the most likely."
"Since it is stored in the magic tool inventory, [Chi Zhen] must be the magic tool."
"As for the breath of the so-called special-grade spell spirit...it's a special spell tool that can affect people's cognition. It's not surprising that anything happens."
Bunbu Shuhei thought almost rascally, opened the book in his hand, and began to prepare his own defense...
***
"Since it is stored in the magic tool inventory, then that thing must be a magic tool." Takehara closed his fan and patted his palms lightly.
Opposite Zhuyuan, Ye Mo Zhengdao looked serious.
Before the investigation team could leave Tokyo, news spread that Shuhei Bunbube had been tortured by a cursed object and was about to be executed.
In order to avoid being rude, Zhu Yuan reluctantly waited all night, and then came to find him early in the morning.
Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie sat behind the class teacher on one left and one on the right, exchanging shocked glances at each other.
--what happened?A super-grade cursed creature?
--Really?Wenbu Shuhei is so big?
"Is Patriarch Zhuyuan sure?" Noctua asked rightly.
"Of course—not sure." Zhu Yuan dragged out his voice.
"But what's the difference?"
"Whether it's the cursed object or not, Bunbu Shuhei is Bunbu Shuhei. Do you want my friend to die at the hands of a conjurer after barely saving his life in the cursed object?" Takehara's expression was cold, no longer like a businessman in the past. the warmth.
"We can't be sure whether Shuhei Bunbube will cause damage to the surroundings after the cursed object is fleshed out." Noctua Masamune said.
"Do you have to have a meaning to act?" Zhu Yuan suddenly smiled, and uttered harsh words between his thin lips, "So you can ignore your students' help?"
"Then, I can give you an answer."
The fan unfolded with a "snap", and the lower half of Zhu Yuan's face was hidden behind the fan.
"Excusing Shuhei from the Ministry of Education is only likely to cause harm to the future."
"But if Shuhei for the Ministry of Education is not exonerated, and he is forced to the side of the curse master, then he will definitely cause harm to the future."
Takehara has always known that his friend is not a pure and good person-in the years of cooperation between the two, Takehara has seen Shuhei Bunbube's insidious methods from the port of Mafia more than once.
Xia Youjie thought more than everyone present - prophecy.
In the process of getting along with Shuhei Bunbu, he thought that although Shuhei Bunbu didn't care about other people's lives, he was not someone who easily took other people's lives.
So, how did Bunbu Shuhei embark on the road of "causing no less harm than the Kagutsu crater incident"?
Perhaps this accusation is the key.
After Xia Youjie made his promise, he regarded avoiding such a future as his responsibility as an insider.
He thought of the elegant middle-aged man who presented him with a haiku, and secretly made up his mind.
"I will try my best to get a reprieve from the higher-ups," Ye Mo Zhengdao said, "Because I can't guarantee that Shuhei Bunbu is harmless, so I can't forge evidence to exonerate him."
"It can't be said to be fake. Whether that thing is a curse or not is just a one-sided statement from the upper echelons."
Zhu Yuan was already satisfied with the answer that Ye Mo Zhengdao was willing to help, but he still made a few excuses before leaving.
"The library of Wutiao's family can be browsed by me." Wutiao Wu suddenly said, he was not wearing sunglasses, his blue eyes were as high as the sky, "[Six Eyes] can also testify for the little dwarf."
"Jie, will you go to Gojo's house with me?"
"No, I'm going to visit someone, he may be able to provide some help." Xia Youjie turned his consulting eyes to Noctua Moth Zhengdao.
For the students discussing class skipping openly in front of him, Ye Mo Zhengdao adopted a completely laissez-faire attitude this time.
Instructing Xia Youjie to pay attention to safety on the road, and warning Wutiao Wu to respect his elders, Ye Mozheng watched the two leave, sighed, and returned to the office.
Before preparing to wrestle with the higher-ups, he found out the guardian's information filled in Shuhei's admission documents...
"Moshi Moshi, Shuji Tsushima here." A young voice came from the opposite side.
"Shuhei's guardian? No, not me, I'm a friend of his guardian."
"Something tells me the same."
Although he didn't understand why Shuhei, the Ministry of Education, should fill in the communication number of the guardian's friend, Masamune Noctua had no choice but to inform the other party of the situation.
"Ah, that's it. I understand." The young man's answer seemed perfunctory.
The other party didn't seem to take it seriously... Ye Mozheng hung up the communication on the right way, touched his receding hairline, and smiled wryly.
Why don't you serve more snacks for that child yourself...
***
Yokohama after the Noctuma Zhengdao communication was hung up.
"Hey, Ango." Osamu Dazai began to harass Ango Sakaguchi, who had been working overtime for a long time and suffered from severe sleep deprivation.
"You are the leader of Mafia at the port now, so you need to avoid suspicion!" Ango Sakaguchi, who barely broke free from the coffee and documents, trembled slightly as he held the terminal.
"Well, there is very important news~"
"No matter how important the news is, it is not an excuse for you to harass public officials!"
"Really?" Osamu Dazai chuckled, "Isn't the news that the magic world is going to execute the safety device of the book page privately?"
"Puff—cough cough cough cough!" Ango Sakaguchi choked on the coffee, "You! How did you know [Book]!"
"It doesn't matter how I know, isn't the safety of the safety device important?"
"By the way, Ango won't forget, Xiao Shuhei is still the eldest son of Oda writer..." Dazai Osamu's tone was brisk, with a force that Ango Sakaguchi could not refuse.
"..." Speaking of Sakunosuke Oda, Ango Sakaguchi was still guilty, and this was a big deal about the pages of the book, "I see."
"I'll take care of this," he promised.
Osamu Dazai didn't reply, only the busy message after he hanged up neatly in the communication...
Ango Sakaguchi could only smile wryly and rubbed his eyebrows.
***
"Master Wutiao, you can't go up." The guards boldly stopped him, "The suspects who were imprisoned by cursed objects are detained inside, it's too dangerous."
"I'm the strongest, do you understand?" Wujo Gou looked at the guard arrogantly and condescendingly, "The strongest, understand?"
"I'm not afraid of any cursed things being fleshed out."
"Don't chatter here, it's in the way."
After all, Gojo Satoru's figure flashed, somehow bypassed the checkpoint at the door, and appeared behind the guards.
"I'm going up, bye." He waved his hand back casually, Gojo Goto strode inward.
"Hmm, the accommodation conditions are good." Gojo Satoru easily found the room where Bunbu Shuhei was temporarily staying due to the shattered spell power.
"Honored guest." Shuhei Bunbubu buried his head in the book, looked up and smiled at the head poking in from the door.
This is the first time the two have come into contact without the interference of the shackle.
[Six Eyes] honestly fed back all the information obtained through observation and analysis——
Bunbu Shuhei's mantra flow is indeed mixed with foreign objects, which is a typical manifestation of the incarnation of the mantra.
But in addition to the fully fused spell, Shuhei Bunbu also had a spell on him.The spell tool should be in the process of running in with Bunbu Shuhei, only the superficial breath is intertwined with each other.
"What's the situation?" Gojo Satoru bowed his head and entered the door, and sat down across from Shuhei Bunbu with carelessness.
"The higher-ups made a fuss and mistook the magic tool for the magic thing." Bunbu Shuhei replied calmly.
Is it to use the newly ground-up magic tool to divert the line of sight to cover up the real situation of the curse object's incarnation?
Wujo Satoru felt that he understood, but he still had to make sure.
"Is it okay? Can you control it?" This is asking the cursed object to accept the flesh.
"No problem, it doesn't have self-awareness, and it won't have any influence." Shuhei Bunbu expressed great confidence.
"That's good..." Gojo Satoru jumped up and stretched, "Ugh..."
"You just stay at ease, and leave the rest to Lao Tzu."
"The records of the Wutiao family are quite complete, and we can definitely find evidence to prove that this thing is a magic tool!"
Wujo Wu's subtext is to help Wenbu Shuhei to fabricate evidence that proves that [Red Truth] is a magic tool, and forge it into the historical records of the Gojo family.
Bunbu Shuhei was stunned for a moment, then smiled sincerely and said, "Thank you, Satoru."
Gojo Satoru ran away all the way, Bunbu Shuhei looked at the paper in front of him, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.
Although things are not as simple as Satoru imagined, this kind of friendship with all-out help is enough to make Bunbu Shuhei smile easily.
But seeing Satoru's performance like this, 【Chishin】should really be just a magic tool... Bunbu Shuhei lowered the level of vigilance against 【Redshine】in his heart.
"The current situation is that I cursed the flesh and fused with my sister, and [Chizhen] is the later magic tool."
"Wu knew that it was true that I was incarnated by the cursed object, but mistakenly thought it was caused by this accident, and would help me cover it up with the reason of the cursed object."
"The higher-ups don't know the existence of my sister. They know that the cursed object is fake and [Chizhen] is a curse tool, but they claim that I was cursed by the cursed object, and they want to execute me..."
By mistake, the problem of how to explain the existence of my sister under [Six Eyes] was quietly solved.It was a blessing in disguise.
"There's something wrong with [Akama], it's pretty clear at a glance." Shuhei Bunbube was talking to himself before, while picking up a pen to sort out his thoughts.
After writing here, he put down his pen and used magic to shuffle the order of the words on the paper.
"What is the secret that makes the upper echelon so nervous and unscrupulous?"
"The reminders are all delivered to hand, I really feel sorry for them if I don't check it out..."
***
The trial of Shuhei Bunbu was originally scheduled for July 25, but due to many "accidents", it had to be postponed to July [-].
"Accidents" that disrupted the upper-level plans of the magic world, including but not limited to—
The Colorless King suddenly visited the Spell Society on behalf of the Sanwa family who had disappeared from the Spell World, and reminded them not to commit suicide...
The Ability Special Affairs Division directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a letter, requesting that once Shuhei was convicted by the Ministry of Education, the conjurer world must hand over the prisoner to the "Seventh Agency"...
Not to mention that there is a bamboo principle with a full level of yin and yang and strange energy inside the magic club, and there is a lawless Wujowu outside...
Zhu Yuan was the first to show evidence that [Chi Zhen] was a spell tool rather than a spell object——
"[Chizhen] is the patriarch of the Bunbu family thousands of years ago, Ryuji Bunbu, who lit the fire and committed suicide in front of the ancestral house of the Bunbu family at that time."
"The text doesn't make any sense, it's almost like the babbling of a lunatic when he's hallucinating..."
"Ryuji of the Ministry of Education wrote on the fabric with his own blood, and because of his tragic death, the power of the curse condensed and lingered, making the words stay bright red for a long time, and the color was like cinnabar, so it was named [Chizhen]."
"The magic item [Chi Zhen] has two forms, the sealed state and the unsealed state."
"Among them, the sealed state is unknowable. That is, when the magic tool [Chi Zhen] is in the sealed state, any text and image records about it will not be perceived by people. [Operation] The integrity of the operation goes up and down."
"When there are people around who are similar to Bunbu Ryuji's technique, that is, the holder of the complete [Spell Manipulation], the spell item [Chizhen] will automatically enter the unsealed state."
"The unsealed spell [Chizhen] will seek to integrate with [Spell Manipulation]. The visual effect is similar to that of the curse object, but because it does not have independent consciousness and has no negative impact on the host, it is regarded as an auxiliary spell. .”
"..."
At the beginning of the internal meeting of the Conjuration Society, Zhu Yuan took out the records he found in the library of Zhuyuan's family, and distributed a copy to each of them.
It was well-founded, so that no one present could find any room for rebuttal.
In particular, the repeated writing of the "curse tool [Akama]" was no less than a few slaps in the face of the high-level executives who clamored to execute Shuhei of the Ministry of Education before.
"So, everyone, can this farce come to an end?"
Since Takehara became the head of the Takehara family, this is the first time he has such a sense of presence in the magic society.Bamboo Principle also took the opportunity to show its strength, so as to compete for more speaking rights in the future.
"Patriarch Zhuyuan, I admit that these are true records." One person shook the paper in his hand, making a sound of swipe, swipe, "but you also deleted too much negative information, right?"
"for example--"
"For thousands of years, the [Spell Manipulation] parasitized by [Chi Zhen] in the Wenbu family will not live for a long time?"
"It's like [Chi Zhen] brought the bad luck of Bunbu Ryuji's untimely death to each of its owners?"
***
"Trash!" In the darkness, the young and indistinguishable voice was extremely angry.
"My lord," a voice that was so old that only a trembling voice remained, "This is the end of the matter, and it is no longer possible for us to execute [Spell Manipulation] in a fair manner and take back [Chi Zhen]."
"But this time [Spell Manipulation] seems to be incompatible with [Red Truth], and it has not been fully integrated so far."
"My lord's plan is still safe."
"We can let [Spell Manipulation] go for a while, wait for the limelight to pass, and find another opportunity..."
"Anyway, the [Spell Manipulation] that was parasitized by [Chi Zhen] will not live long, it has passed the enlightenment path."
"At that time, we will have something to say even in the face of [Feishi Yuan] and the Supernatural Secret Service Division."
"..."
"can."
"Always pay attention to [Chi Zhen]'s fusion degree, and once [Spell Manipulation] shows mastery of the sealing technique, start acting immediately."
"Yes!" Excited, the old man responded with a hiss like a broken gong.
***
The suspicion of Bunbu Shuhei's curse object being tortured was basically cleared, but there was no formal sentence, and he still had to be imprisoned in Kagakori, Kyoto.
However, his access control has been loosened a lot:
Whether Shuhei Wenbu sneaked to the training ground of Kyoto Jugao to watch the training during the day, or packed up ingredients to cook soup and tofu in the dormitory area at night, the principal of Leyansi took a resigned attitude towards this.
The only one who was injured was probably Zenyuan Naoya, who was watched as a joke during the day and devastated by the smell of food at night.
"[Chi Zhen] has possessed six [Curse Manipulation], and these six have died young?"
With the reduction of guard strength, Takehara went directly to Kandaka, Kyoto today to visit Shuhei Bunbu.
"Obviously wrong." Bunbu Shuhei spread out the paper, "Three were killed by the curse spirit, two were killed by the curse master, and one was killed by poison."
"What is bad luck?"
"Let's not mention the curse spirit and the curse master, just look at the one who died of poisoning."
"If the poison was given to someone else and he swallowed it by mistake, that would be bad luck."
"Everything now can only make people feel that someone has been hunting and killing the [Spell Manipulation] possessed by [Chi Zhen] for thousands of years."
"If you don't believe me, wait for me to go out and see my price on the black market to be sure."
Shuhei Bunbube said with certainty, and Takehara's mood that was clouded by the word "bad luck" also cleared up a little...
Weird.
"Isn't it just as bad?" Zhu Yuan retorted unceremoniously.
Fighting against the illusory luck, and the unfavorable form of the enemy's dark self, bamboo principle can't compare which is worse.
"There is a time limit of 1000 years, and only two organizations in the magic world are eligible."
"Pan Xing Sect [Time Container Club] and Magic Club."
"So the enemy is not too dark." Wenbu Shuhei said casually.
"However, Li," Shuhei Bunbe put his hands behind his head, relaxed his body, and leaned back, "Do you feel—"
"1000 years, this time frame, does it appear too frequently?"
"1000 years ago, just the major events that happened to the Bunbu Clan, the Bunbu Ryuji committed suicide, the magic tool [Akashi] was formed, all the past materials of the Bunbu Clan were destroyed, and began to decline."
"The Tianyuan Barrier was fully formed, the Panxing Sect [Time Container Society] was established, and it was thousands of years ago that the Takehara family began to decline..." Zhuyuan frowned.
"The Heian era was really lively..." Shuhei Bunbubu sighed.
"If you are interested, you can come to the Takehara family library to read books after you come out...or forget it." Takenori, who was always willing to share resources with Shuhei Bunbu, hesitated rarely.
"Why, I'm not welcome?" Wenbu Shuhei raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Li, you heartless man."
A very sad look.
"...be more serious." Zhu Yuan slapped him.
"Hiss—" Takehara's attack was ruthless, Shuhei Bunbubu grieved and hugged his head, "Okay, okay."
Try this on others in the future.Bunbu Shuhei thought to himself, the first thing that comes to mind is Xia Youjie who still doesn't change his expression when facing JK Gojo Satoshi.
"The upper management seems to be very concerned about whether you can use the sealing technique, and recently I found out that I was being watched." Zhu Yuan said seriously, "So we can put ordinary cooperation on the bright side, and keep the private communication that will alert the upper management as secret as possible. .”
……
Takehara said goodbye and left.
"..." Bunbu Shuhei thought for a long time by himself.
Recently, he often wastes a lot of time thinking, proposing countless possibilities, and then overturning them one by one.
However, after a lot of sand washing, the results left behind usually inspire the Ministry of Education Shuhei.
After being released from detention, there is not much time to spend on analysis and thinking so luxuriously. Shuhei, the Ministry of Culture, intends to clarify the status quo first.
For him, the most effective way is to completely bring himself into the perspective of the aristocratic family, and then completely separate himself from the identity of the aristocratic family. Comparing the results of looking at problems from two different perspectives, new discoveries are often made.
Things have been too complicated recently, and when I think about it carefully, Shuhei Bunbube feels like a world away...
***
The final trial against Shuhei Bunbu came quickly and easily.
Various families in the conjuration world sent their deputy or deputy's deputy, led by the representative of the Conjuration Director's Association, to Kagao, Kyoto, to sit with the principal Rakuganji Kashinobu, and finally called Wenbu Shuhei, hypocritically boasting Some clichés like juvenile talents...
The so-called trial ended hastily.
Everything is back to normal.
In addition to the leak of Shuhei Bunbu's "possession of a special magic tool", the price of the reward has risen on the black market.
"Now my price is no less than that of Wu Wu."
Bunbu Shuhei was walking on the left, and the red flames beside his ears were burning, attracting the eyes of Xia Youjie who was walking on his right.
After Shuhei Bunbu was released, in just ten days, the price on the black market increased fivefold.
Today, it has risen to nearly forty times that at the beginning.
"You have a big heart." Xia Youjie was helpless with Shuhei Bunbu and Gojo Satoru even competing with each other on black market prices.
"If you don't worry about me, Jie can come and help me."
After Wenbu Shuhei returned to Tokyo Jugao, he explained to Xia Youjie and Gojo Satoru all the facts that could be revealed so far, plus a sincere apology.
Xia Youjie had long lost his temper due to a series of accidents in the middle, and because he knew more about the family relationship, he calmly expressed his understanding.
"Forget it." Xia Youjie said.
He thinks that he only wants to be an "ordinary" conjurer who protects non-magicians, at most he is a little bit stronger, and he doesn't want to get involved in the mess of the upper echelons.
"I think it's better to watch you from the sidelines and not let you make too much trouble."
Xia Youjie still remembered his "excited" expression when he asked the Colorless King for help and said "I want to prevent Xiuping from going astray".
"Then you have a good opinion of me." Wenbu Shuhei didn't mind Xia Youjie's refusal, he just raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Xia Youjie followed the trend and replied, "Okay."
"Hurry up!" Gojo Satoru rushed from behind, stretched out his long arms, and hooked the shoulders of the two of them from left to right, "Do you want to guess what Teacher Ye Moth will say today?
Bunbu Shuhei scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his head, the cool feeling temporarily soothed the irritability in his heart.
He put his hands on the edge of the sink and looked up at himself in the mirror.
The answer, of course, is overflow.
In the mirror, the outer layer of the smoky gray hair of the teenager was wet with water, and it fell pitifully on his forehead, with water droplets hanging on the tip of his hair.The pale golden pupils are burning, burning with the unyielding branded deep in the soul.
The boy and the self outside the mirror looked at each other, the stubbornness and madness revealed in his bones, like a wounded lone wolf walking alone in the torrential rain.
Bunbu Shuhei is already a full cup——
When he was young, he shared his life with his older sister Yue Bunbu by incarnating from a cursed object.The two guard each other and depend on each other, and the elder sister's art has already been engraved into Shuhei Bunbube's body.
The two did not specifically assess the level of Bunbu Yue, because Bunbu Shuhei has always refused to compare his relatives with other cursed objects.
However, if calculated according to the number of lives that Shuhei Bunbuya had destroyed through the cooperation of the two siblings, Yue Bunbukura was at least infinitely close to the first-level level of the super class.
Such beings, no matter what, would not be willing to share containers with other spell objects.
Not to mention, Bunbu Shuhei is the younger brother that Bunbu Yue devoted himself to protecting.
Drops of water fell from the tips of her hair.
The water marks slid from the cheeks to the neck, lingered on the collarbone for a while, then continued to extend, and were finally absorbed by the black sports vest.
Under the light, the traces of water glistened.
What was more striking than the watery light was the bright red lines that spread across Shuhei Bunbube's right side.
The lines of the curse pattern twisted into the shape of flames, twisting and coiling around the young man's pale skin.
The flames invaded from the waist and went up the spine.
Out of Bunbu Shuhei's sight, the incantations wantonly surrounded the protruding butterfly bone on the thin body, then wrapped around the shoulders, supported the jaw, and finally stayed on the side of the boy's ear...
It seemed as if he wanted to hold the gray-haired boy in his arms and burn him to death.
Bunbu Shuhei's figure can only be described as thin. Although he has the same origin as his sister, the burden of the cursed body still affects his health. Coupled with the experience of wandering on the streets and his picky eating habits, he is in the best condition Sometimes there is only a thin layer of muscle.
But it is this kind of thinness, mixed with a different kind of beauty——
The bloody flame patterns are in stark contrast to the young man's pale skin. Shuhei Bunbube's bright golden pupils are like sparks, adding the finishing touch to this contrasting picture.
But the young man lowered his eyes, restrained the light in his eyes, settled his aura, and tried his best to hide the thorns in his character——
Shuhei Bunbe's temperament should be sharp. The experience in Yokohama has polished him into a sword that shines brightly. Only when he is put into a sheath made of a smile can those unknown creatures living in the dark feel safe.
But how to laugh is also a science.
The young man has not yet accumulated enough strength, and still needs to play the image of a respectful, obedient and obedient heir according to the wishes of the head of the family and the elders.
Bunbu Shuhei smiled at himself in the mirror. The smile was not as gentle as Xia Youjie's from the heart, but it didn't have any unnatural restraint. .
He can show that he is biting each other with a small character like Makoto Bunbu, but he can't take the initiative to destroy the resolution of the upper echelons of the magic world.
Takumi Kataoka and the "accident" that happened yesterday are almost approaching the bottom line of the upper echelon's tolerance for him...
Shuhei thought.
The gray-haired boy stroked the broken hair on the right side behind his ear, and raised his right hand to observe under the light.
Yesterday, this bloody "curse" was infected from the right hand...
***
Bunbu Shuhei and the second elder entered the warehouse where the magic tools were stored in the taboo.
The warehouse was cool and quiet, silent.
The footsteps of the two echoed between the storage cabinets.Due to the background of the environment, the rubbing sound of the pen tip and the paper is very clear and loud when registering and writing.
In the silence, Bunbu Shuhei inexplicably felt his blood boil.
The heart was beating loudly, and the blood was like waves hitting the rocks at high tide, hitting the eardrums forcefully one after another.
Bunbu Shuhei could feel his body temperature rising, and his breathing also became quicker.
Reason is constantly warning the abnormality, but instinct is urging him forward, forward...
In front of him, something was attracting Shuhei Bunbube, which gave him a very friendly feeling.
"Second Elder, the air in Curry is too turbid, how about we go out first, wait for the ventilation and then come in?"
Being on the safe side, Shuhei the Ministry of Education resolutely decided to evacuate the scene.
For an extra layer of insurance, he consciously woke up the sleeping Yue Bunbube, and the siblings were on guard together.
Thinking that Shuhei Bunbu was too particular, after making a few rounds of sarcasm, the second elder still couldn't resist Shuhei Bunbu's insistence, and walked out of the taboo together.
however……
Just after they took two steps towards the exit, the cabinet in the deepest part of the taboo overturned for no reason.
In addition to common swords and weapons, the spell tools of the Bunbu family are mostly in the form of paper, pen, scrolls, etc. to assist in making spells.
The cabinet fell over, and the small spell tools stored on it were scattered all over the place, and some of them were even damaged by the falling cabinet.
"What, what's going on?" The second elder hurriedly rushed to the mess on the ground, sighing heartbroken.
Bunbu Shuhei was vigilant, so he just turned his body back, unwilling to take a step closer to the mess.
Before the second elder rushed to the fallen cupboard, a scroll rolled out of the ruins slowly by itself, with a clear goal, pointing directly at Shuhei Bunbu.
The jackknife fell silently into his hand, Shuhei Bunbe stared at the scroll approaching, pressed the back of the knife with his thumb, and took two steps back.
As the scroll got closer, the feeling that attracted Bunbu Shuhei and made him tremble became stronger.
"What is this?" The second elder took two steps across, blocking the straight line from the scroll to the Wenbu repair.
Although he has always been hostile to the Second Elder, at this time, Bunbu Shuhei still felt a little grateful to the Second Elder.He took two steps back towards the door again, watching the second elder vigilantly stop the scroll, bent down, and stretched out his hand to it...
Before the old man's hand touched the surface of the scroll, the ribbon that fixed the scroll fell apart automatically...
The scroll unfolded, and there was a framed piece of white silk filled with strange blood characters of unknown meaning.
This is very similar to the order that Shuhei Bunbu saw at Takumi Kataoka, and Makoto Bunbu, which made Shuhei Bunbu instantly alert.
Is this a curse?Or a magic tool?
"What is this?" The Second Elder lifted the dirty scroll with two fingers.
The Second Elder was a little puzzled. He had been in charge of the Ministry of Education's Jiku for many years, and he had never seen such a magic tool in his impression. He couldn't match it with any name on the list of items in the Jiku.
Moreover, this scroll is too dirty.The old man looked disgusted.
The Jiku is cleaned by a special person, and it is impossible to get so much dust by just rolling a section of the stone road.The second elder planned to reprimand the cleaning servants.
Really unwilling to touch such a dirty thing again, the Second Elder suddenly remembered that he brought a free laborer in.
He looked around, and was extremely dissatisfied to find that Shuhei Bunbube was still there, and even had a tendency to move away, so he couldn't help but angrily said: "Hey!..."
The moment he turned to Bunbu Shuhei with the scroll in his hand, the blood on the white silk became agitated.
In the next second, the blood characters merged into a stream, separated from the surface of the white silk, and shot towards Wenbu Shuhei's eyebrows like an arrow from a string.
The form of the blood characters is very similar to the controlled spell under [Spell Manipulation], but it cannot be forcibly manipulated by Bunbu Shuhei.
Shuhei Bunbe dodged short, while slashing horizontally with the saber in his right hand.
He successfully cut off the blood characters.
However, these blood characters are no longer like the spells controlled by [Spell Manipulation]. Even if they were cut off, they did not dissipate. Instead, they fused together again like a liquid.
Bunbe Shuhei kept slashing to block it, while trying to retreat—even if a cursed object that no one controls can actively attack, it has other restrictions.Looking at the fact that the scroll didn't release the blood characters until close, its limitation is probably the attack distance.
However, the second elder holding the scroll seemed to be startled by the accident at first, but after reacting, he actually started to approach Shuhei Bunbu who was fighting.
The old man shouted hypocritically: "Young Master, be careful."
In fact, his approach nullified Shuhei Bunbu's previous efforts, and the situation fell into a more critical situation.
Bunbu Shuhei remembered the old man in his heart, stepped on his feet, and jumped back six or seven steps.
He gripped the jackknife tightly, the handle of the knife hurting his bones.
To be entangled with these bloody characters, Bunbu Shuhei needed ten times more concentration and perseverance than usual.
Because he couldn't feel the killing intent on this bloody character, the sense of familiarity and intimacy conveyed to him was also shaking his will.
How should a person be vigilant against hostile parts of his body?
This sounded strange, but it was indeed Shuhei Bunbube's feeling—those bloody characters seemed to be a part of him, and he was looking for a way to return.
Shuhei Bunbe took a deep breath, not being shaken by this unprovoked hallucination.
The good sign is that the bloody character has been fighting with people for too long and was cut off several times. The energy supporting its activities seems to be insufficient, and its movements slow down, as if it is at the end of its strength.
Bunbu Shuhei concentrated his energy and cut off the blood characters again.
However, this time, the scarlet characters no longer focused on targeting Bunbu Shuhei's eyebrows.It divided into two strands, wrapped the blade like a liquid, and slid along the blade to Shuhei Bunbube's right hand...
"Sister!" Bunbu Shuhei felt that the magic power was being infected, and shouted urgently in his heart.
"Here we come!" The black spell on the left arm spread, Bunbe Yue took over the body instantly, mobilized the spell power and the blood to counteract it, and tried to drive it out.
In an instant, the curse flail was destroyed by the impact of the magic power, and the atmosphere of Bunbu Youhua was full of taboo...
It's just that even Bunbu Youe couldn't stop the fusion of blood characters, and a large area of flame patterns began to bloom upwards...
***
Part of the lines have disappeared... Shuhei Bunbu stretched his five fingers on his right hand.
He clearly remembered that when he was possessed by that bloody character yesterday, his right arm was covered in bloody flames from wrist to shoulder.After just one night, the lines on the arms disappeared.
Did it dissipate, or merge?
Shuhei Bunbu carefully felt his own spell power, but couldn't find anything unusual.
"That thing is not a curse thing." Bunbu Yue was still awake at this time, with a muffled voice.
If it is a cursed object, it is absolutely impossible to successfully accept the flesh under her defense.
"I know," Bunbu Shuhei wiped the water away, "but the upper echelon thinks so."
"Blame me," Yue blamed himself, "I overreacted, and my breath leaked out."
"No," Bunbu Shuhei curled his lips into a smile, "It's because the upper echelon wanted to classify this thing as a cursed object. No matter whether we leaked the breath or not, it would be the result now."
He went to the window and looked down.
The establishment of Manga in Kyoto directly utilizes the ancient buildings with a long history.Therefore, the modern buildings among them are also decorated with complicated and fine lines to match the vicissitudes of historical accumulation.
After yesterday's incident, Shuhei Bunbu was urgently transferred to Mataka in Kyoto and detained.
Since the incident has not yet been settled, and the status of the heir to the Bunbu family is not just used to make a good name, the principal of Kyoto, Rakuganji Kashinobu, had to vacate an entire building for the temporary placement of Bunbu Shuhei.
Therefore, in addition to not being able to come and go at will, Shuhei Wenbu's living conditions even surpassed when he was in Tokyo.
"This thing... ah, now I know it's called [Akama]." Wenbu Shuhei took the booklet he had rushed back to his room before he was imprisoned, and turned to the last page.
Article 37 item registration suddenly appeared on the back of page 371 after yesterday’s incident in the article list of the Ministry of Education’s Jiaji Library——
Item 370: [Chi Zhen], mantra ■, shaped like deficit white silk.
The most important words were blacked out... Shuhei Bunbu had a slight headache.
Now is not the time to worry about the sudden appearance of the registration records on the item list, Shuhei Bunbu must quickly find evidence to exonerate himself.
"Now there are two possibilities." Bunbu Shuhei said to himself.
"One, the upper layer is not sure about the attributes of [Chizhen], because our breath leaked, so it was identified as a curse."
"Second, the upper layer knows that [Chizhen] is not a curse object, but for some purpose, it needs to be judged as a curse object."
"Looking at the current situation, the higher-ups are eager to execute me... In addition, the appearance of [Chi Zhen] is similar to the curse item customized by Makoto Bunbu, so it can be determined that [Chi Zhen] is related to the secrets of the magic world."
"The second scenario is the most likely."
"Since it is stored in the magic tool inventory, [Chi Zhen] must be the magic tool."
"As for the breath of the so-called special-grade spell spirit...it's a special spell tool that can affect people's cognition. It's not surprising that anything happens."
Bunbu Shuhei thought almost rascally, opened the book in his hand, and began to prepare his own defense...
***
"Since it is stored in the magic tool inventory, then that thing must be a magic tool." Takehara closed his fan and patted his palms lightly.
Opposite Zhuyuan, Ye Mo Zhengdao looked serious.
Before the investigation team could leave Tokyo, news spread that Shuhei Bunbube had been tortured by a cursed object and was about to be executed.
In order to avoid being rude, Zhu Yuan reluctantly waited all night, and then came to find him early in the morning.
Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie sat behind the class teacher on one left and one on the right, exchanging shocked glances at each other.
--what happened?A super-grade cursed creature?
--Really?Wenbu Shuhei is so big?
"Is Patriarch Zhuyuan sure?" Noctua asked rightly.
"Of course—not sure." Zhu Yuan dragged out his voice.
"But what's the difference?"
"Whether it's the cursed object or not, Bunbu Shuhei is Bunbu Shuhei. Do you want my friend to die at the hands of a conjurer after barely saving his life in the cursed object?" Takehara's expression was cold, no longer like a businessman in the past. the warmth.
"We can't be sure whether Shuhei Bunbube will cause damage to the surroundings after the cursed object is fleshed out." Noctua Masamune said.
"Do you have to have a meaning to act?" Zhu Yuan suddenly smiled, and uttered harsh words between his thin lips, "So you can ignore your students' help?"
"Then, I can give you an answer."
The fan unfolded with a "snap", and the lower half of Zhu Yuan's face was hidden behind the fan.
"Excusing Shuhei from the Ministry of Education is only likely to cause harm to the future."
"But if Shuhei for the Ministry of Education is not exonerated, and he is forced to the side of the curse master, then he will definitely cause harm to the future."
Takehara has always known that his friend is not a pure and good person-in the years of cooperation between the two, Takehara has seen Shuhei Bunbube's insidious methods from the port of Mafia more than once.
Xia Youjie thought more than everyone present - prophecy.
In the process of getting along with Shuhei Bunbu, he thought that although Shuhei Bunbu didn't care about other people's lives, he was not someone who easily took other people's lives.
So, how did Bunbu Shuhei embark on the road of "causing no less harm than the Kagutsu crater incident"?
Perhaps this accusation is the key.
After Xia Youjie made his promise, he regarded avoiding such a future as his responsibility as an insider.
He thought of the elegant middle-aged man who presented him with a haiku, and secretly made up his mind.
"I will try my best to get a reprieve from the higher-ups," Ye Mo Zhengdao said, "Because I can't guarantee that Shuhei Bunbu is harmless, so I can't forge evidence to exonerate him."
"It can't be said to be fake. Whether that thing is a curse or not is just a one-sided statement from the upper echelons."
Zhu Yuan was already satisfied with the answer that Ye Mo Zhengdao was willing to help, but he still made a few excuses before leaving.
"The library of Wutiao's family can be browsed by me." Wutiao Wu suddenly said, he was not wearing sunglasses, his blue eyes were as high as the sky, "[Six Eyes] can also testify for the little dwarf."
"Jie, will you go to Gojo's house with me?"
"No, I'm going to visit someone, he may be able to provide some help." Xia Youjie turned his consulting eyes to Noctua Moth Zhengdao.
For the students discussing class skipping openly in front of him, Ye Mo Zhengdao adopted a completely laissez-faire attitude this time.
Instructing Xia Youjie to pay attention to safety on the road, and warning Wutiao Wu to respect his elders, Ye Mozheng watched the two leave, sighed, and returned to the office.
Before preparing to wrestle with the higher-ups, he found out the guardian's information filled in Shuhei's admission documents...
"Moshi Moshi, Shuji Tsushima here." A young voice came from the opposite side.
"Shuhei's guardian? No, not me, I'm a friend of his guardian."
"Something tells me the same."
Although he didn't understand why Shuhei, the Ministry of Education, should fill in the communication number of the guardian's friend, Masamune Noctua had no choice but to inform the other party of the situation.
"Ah, that's it. I understand." The young man's answer seemed perfunctory.
The other party didn't seem to take it seriously... Ye Mozheng hung up the communication on the right way, touched his receding hairline, and smiled wryly.
Why don't you serve more snacks for that child yourself...
***
Yokohama after the Noctuma Zhengdao communication was hung up.
"Hey, Ango." Osamu Dazai began to harass Ango Sakaguchi, who had been working overtime for a long time and suffered from severe sleep deprivation.
"You are the leader of Mafia at the port now, so you need to avoid suspicion!" Ango Sakaguchi, who barely broke free from the coffee and documents, trembled slightly as he held the terminal.
"Well, there is very important news~"
"No matter how important the news is, it is not an excuse for you to harass public officials!"
"Really?" Osamu Dazai chuckled, "Isn't the news that the magic world is going to execute the safety device of the book page privately?"
"Puff—cough cough cough cough!" Ango Sakaguchi choked on the coffee, "You! How did you know [Book]!"
"It doesn't matter how I know, isn't the safety of the safety device important?"
"By the way, Ango won't forget, Xiao Shuhei is still the eldest son of Oda writer..." Dazai Osamu's tone was brisk, with a force that Ango Sakaguchi could not refuse.
"..." Speaking of Sakunosuke Oda, Ango Sakaguchi was still guilty, and this was a big deal about the pages of the book, "I see."
"I'll take care of this," he promised.
Osamu Dazai didn't reply, only the busy message after he hanged up neatly in the communication...
Ango Sakaguchi could only smile wryly and rubbed his eyebrows.
***
"Master Wutiao, you can't go up." The guards boldly stopped him, "The suspects who were imprisoned by cursed objects are detained inside, it's too dangerous."
"I'm the strongest, do you understand?" Wujo Gou looked at the guard arrogantly and condescendingly, "The strongest, understand?"
"I'm not afraid of any cursed things being fleshed out."
"Don't chatter here, it's in the way."
After all, Gojo Satoru's figure flashed, somehow bypassed the checkpoint at the door, and appeared behind the guards.
"I'm going up, bye." He waved his hand back casually, Gojo Goto strode inward.
"Hmm, the accommodation conditions are good." Gojo Satoru easily found the room where Bunbu Shuhei was temporarily staying due to the shattered spell power.
"Honored guest." Shuhei Bunbubu buried his head in the book, looked up and smiled at the head poking in from the door.
This is the first time the two have come into contact without the interference of the shackle.
[Six Eyes] honestly fed back all the information obtained through observation and analysis——
Bunbu Shuhei's mantra flow is indeed mixed with foreign objects, which is a typical manifestation of the incarnation of the mantra.
But in addition to the fully fused spell, Shuhei Bunbu also had a spell on him.The spell tool should be in the process of running in with Bunbu Shuhei, only the superficial breath is intertwined with each other.
"What's the situation?" Gojo Satoru bowed his head and entered the door, and sat down across from Shuhei Bunbu with carelessness.
"The higher-ups made a fuss and mistook the magic tool for the magic thing." Bunbu Shuhei replied calmly.
Is it to use the newly ground-up magic tool to divert the line of sight to cover up the real situation of the curse object's incarnation?
Wujo Satoru felt that he understood, but he still had to make sure.
"Is it okay? Can you control it?" This is asking the cursed object to accept the flesh.
"No problem, it doesn't have self-awareness, and it won't have any influence." Shuhei Bunbu expressed great confidence.
"That's good..." Gojo Satoru jumped up and stretched, "Ugh..."
"You just stay at ease, and leave the rest to Lao Tzu."
"The records of the Wutiao family are quite complete, and we can definitely find evidence to prove that this thing is a magic tool!"
Wujo Wu's subtext is to help Wenbu Shuhei to fabricate evidence that proves that [Red Truth] is a magic tool, and forge it into the historical records of the Gojo family.
Bunbu Shuhei was stunned for a moment, then smiled sincerely and said, "Thank you, Satoru."
Gojo Satoru ran away all the way, Bunbu Shuhei looked at the paper in front of him, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.
Although things are not as simple as Satoru imagined, this kind of friendship with all-out help is enough to make Bunbu Shuhei smile easily.
But seeing Satoru's performance like this, 【Chishin】should really be just a magic tool... Bunbu Shuhei lowered the level of vigilance against 【Redshine】in his heart.
"The current situation is that I cursed the flesh and fused with my sister, and [Chizhen] is the later magic tool."
"Wu knew that it was true that I was incarnated by the cursed object, but mistakenly thought it was caused by this accident, and would help me cover it up with the reason of the cursed object."
"The higher-ups don't know the existence of my sister. They know that the cursed object is fake and [Chizhen] is a curse tool, but they claim that I was cursed by the cursed object, and they want to execute me..."
By mistake, the problem of how to explain the existence of my sister under [Six Eyes] was quietly solved.It was a blessing in disguise.
"There's something wrong with [Akama], it's pretty clear at a glance." Shuhei Bunbube was talking to himself before, while picking up a pen to sort out his thoughts.
After writing here, he put down his pen and used magic to shuffle the order of the words on the paper.
"What is the secret that makes the upper echelon so nervous and unscrupulous?"
"The reminders are all delivered to hand, I really feel sorry for them if I don't check it out..."
***
The trial of Shuhei Bunbu was originally scheduled for July 25, but due to many "accidents", it had to be postponed to July [-].
"Accidents" that disrupted the upper-level plans of the magic world, including but not limited to—
The Colorless King suddenly visited the Spell Society on behalf of the Sanwa family who had disappeared from the Spell World, and reminded them not to commit suicide...
The Ability Special Affairs Division directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a letter, requesting that once Shuhei was convicted by the Ministry of Education, the conjurer world must hand over the prisoner to the "Seventh Agency"...
Not to mention that there is a bamboo principle with a full level of yin and yang and strange energy inside the magic club, and there is a lawless Wujowu outside...
Zhu Yuan was the first to show evidence that [Chi Zhen] was a spell tool rather than a spell object——
"[Chizhen] is the patriarch of the Bunbu family thousands of years ago, Ryuji Bunbu, who lit the fire and committed suicide in front of the ancestral house of the Bunbu family at that time."
"The text doesn't make any sense, it's almost like the babbling of a lunatic when he's hallucinating..."
"Ryuji of the Ministry of Education wrote on the fabric with his own blood, and because of his tragic death, the power of the curse condensed and lingered, making the words stay bright red for a long time, and the color was like cinnabar, so it was named [Chizhen]."
"The magic item [Chi Zhen] has two forms, the sealed state and the unsealed state."
"Among them, the sealed state is unknowable. That is, when the magic tool [Chi Zhen] is in the sealed state, any text and image records about it will not be perceived by people. [Operation] The integrity of the operation goes up and down."
"When there are people around who are similar to Bunbu Ryuji's technique, that is, the holder of the complete [Spell Manipulation], the spell item [Chizhen] will automatically enter the unsealed state."
"The unsealed spell [Chizhen] will seek to integrate with [Spell Manipulation]. The visual effect is similar to that of the curse object, but because it does not have independent consciousness and has no negative impact on the host, it is regarded as an auxiliary spell. .”
"..."
At the beginning of the internal meeting of the Conjuration Society, Zhu Yuan took out the records he found in the library of Zhuyuan's family, and distributed a copy to each of them.
It was well-founded, so that no one present could find any room for rebuttal.
In particular, the repeated writing of the "curse tool [Akama]" was no less than a few slaps in the face of the high-level executives who clamored to execute Shuhei of the Ministry of Education before.
"So, everyone, can this farce come to an end?"
Since Takehara became the head of the Takehara family, this is the first time he has such a sense of presence in the magic society.Bamboo Principle also took the opportunity to show its strength, so as to compete for more speaking rights in the future.
"Patriarch Zhuyuan, I admit that these are true records." One person shook the paper in his hand, making a sound of swipe, swipe, "but you also deleted too much negative information, right?"
"for example--"
"For thousands of years, the [Spell Manipulation] parasitized by [Chi Zhen] in the Wenbu family will not live for a long time?"
"It's like [Chi Zhen] brought the bad luck of Bunbu Ryuji's untimely death to each of its owners?"
***
"Trash!" In the darkness, the young and indistinguishable voice was extremely angry.
"My lord," a voice that was so old that only a trembling voice remained, "This is the end of the matter, and it is no longer possible for us to execute [Spell Manipulation] in a fair manner and take back [Chi Zhen]."
"But this time [Spell Manipulation] seems to be incompatible with [Red Truth], and it has not been fully integrated so far."
"My lord's plan is still safe."
"We can let [Spell Manipulation] go for a while, wait for the limelight to pass, and find another opportunity..."
"Anyway, the [Spell Manipulation] that was parasitized by [Chi Zhen] will not live long, it has passed the enlightenment path."
"At that time, we will have something to say even in the face of [Feishi Yuan] and the Supernatural Secret Service Division."
"..."
"can."
"Always pay attention to [Chi Zhen]'s fusion degree, and once [Spell Manipulation] shows mastery of the sealing technique, start acting immediately."
"Yes!" Excited, the old man responded with a hiss like a broken gong.
***
The suspicion of Bunbu Shuhei's curse object being tortured was basically cleared, but there was no formal sentence, and he still had to be imprisoned in Kagakori, Kyoto.
However, his access control has been loosened a lot:
Whether Shuhei Wenbu sneaked to the training ground of Kyoto Jugao to watch the training during the day, or packed up ingredients to cook soup and tofu in the dormitory area at night, the principal of Leyansi took a resigned attitude towards this.
The only one who was injured was probably Zenyuan Naoya, who was watched as a joke during the day and devastated by the smell of food at night.
"[Chi Zhen] has possessed six [Curse Manipulation], and these six have died young?"
With the reduction of guard strength, Takehara went directly to Kandaka, Kyoto today to visit Shuhei Bunbu.
"Obviously wrong." Bunbu Shuhei spread out the paper, "Three were killed by the curse spirit, two were killed by the curse master, and one was killed by poison."
"What is bad luck?"
"Let's not mention the curse spirit and the curse master, just look at the one who died of poisoning."
"If the poison was given to someone else and he swallowed it by mistake, that would be bad luck."
"Everything now can only make people feel that someone has been hunting and killing the [Spell Manipulation] possessed by [Chi Zhen] for thousands of years."
"If you don't believe me, wait for me to go out and see my price on the black market to be sure."
Shuhei Bunbube said with certainty, and Takehara's mood that was clouded by the word "bad luck" also cleared up a little...
Weird.
"Isn't it just as bad?" Zhu Yuan retorted unceremoniously.
Fighting against the illusory luck, and the unfavorable form of the enemy's dark self, bamboo principle can't compare which is worse.
"There is a time limit of 1000 years, and only two organizations in the magic world are eligible."
"Pan Xing Sect [Time Container Club] and Magic Club."
"So the enemy is not too dark." Wenbu Shuhei said casually.
"However, Li," Shuhei Bunbe put his hands behind his head, relaxed his body, and leaned back, "Do you feel—"
"1000 years, this time frame, does it appear too frequently?"
"1000 years ago, just the major events that happened to the Bunbu Clan, the Bunbu Ryuji committed suicide, the magic tool [Akashi] was formed, all the past materials of the Bunbu Clan were destroyed, and began to decline."
"The Tianyuan Barrier was fully formed, the Panxing Sect [Time Container Society] was established, and it was thousands of years ago that the Takehara family began to decline..." Zhuyuan frowned.
"The Heian era was really lively..." Shuhei Bunbubu sighed.
"If you are interested, you can come to the Takehara family library to read books after you come out...or forget it." Takenori, who was always willing to share resources with Shuhei Bunbu, hesitated rarely.
"Why, I'm not welcome?" Wenbu Shuhei raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Li, you heartless man."
A very sad look.
"...be more serious." Zhu Yuan slapped him.
"Hiss—" Takehara's attack was ruthless, Shuhei Bunbubu grieved and hugged his head, "Okay, okay."
Try this on others in the future.Bunbu Shuhei thought to himself, the first thing that comes to mind is Xia Youjie who still doesn't change his expression when facing JK Gojo Satoshi.
"The upper management seems to be very concerned about whether you can use the sealing technique, and recently I found out that I was being watched." Zhu Yuan said seriously, "So we can put ordinary cooperation on the bright side, and keep the private communication that will alert the upper management as secret as possible. .”
……
Takehara said goodbye and left.
"..." Bunbu Shuhei thought for a long time by himself.
Recently, he often wastes a lot of time thinking, proposing countless possibilities, and then overturning them one by one.
However, after a lot of sand washing, the results left behind usually inspire the Ministry of Education Shuhei.
After being released from detention, there is not much time to spend on analysis and thinking so luxuriously. Shuhei, the Ministry of Culture, intends to clarify the status quo first.
For him, the most effective way is to completely bring himself into the perspective of the aristocratic family, and then completely separate himself from the identity of the aristocratic family. Comparing the results of looking at problems from two different perspectives, new discoveries are often made.
Things have been too complicated recently, and when I think about it carefully, Shuhei Bunbube feels like a world away...
***
The final trial against Shuhei Bunbu came quickly and easily.
Various families in the conjuration world sent their deputy or deputy's deputy, led by the representative of the Conjuration Director's Association, to Kagao, Kyoto, to sit with the principal Rakuganji Kashinobu, and finally called Wenbu Shuhei, hypocritically boasting Some clichés like juvenile talents...
The so-called trial ended hastily.
Everything is back to normal.
In addition to the leak of Shuhei Bunbu's "possession of a special magic tool", the price of the reward has risen on the black market.
"Now my price is no less than that of Wu Wu."
Bunbu Shuhei was walking on the left, and the red flames beside his ears were burning, attracting the eyes of Xia Youjie who was walking on his right.
After Shuhei Bunbu was released, in just ten days, the price on the black market increased fivefold.
Today, it has risen to nearly forty times that at the beginning.
"You have a big heart." Xia Youjie was helpless with Shuhei Bunbu and Gojo Satoru even competing with each other on black market prices.
"If you don't worry about me, Jie can come and help me."
After Wenbu Shuhei returned to Tokyo Jugao, he explained to Xia Youjie and Gojo Satoru all the facts that could be revealed so far, plus a sincere apology.
Xia Youjie had long lost his temper due to a series of accidents in the middle, and because he knew more about the family relationship, he calmly expressed his understanding.
"Forget it." Xia Youjie said.
He thinks that he only wants to be an "ordinary" conjurer who protects non-magicians, at most he is a little bit stronger, and he doesn't want to get involved in the mess of the upper echelons.
"I think it's better to watch you from the sidelines and not let you make too much trouble."
Xia Youjie still remembered his "excited" expression when he asked the Colorless King for help and said "I want to prevent Xiuping from going astray".
"Then you have a good opinion of me." Wenbu Shuhei didn't mind Xia Youjie's refusal, he just raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Xia Youjie followed the trend and replied, "Okay."
"Hurry up!" Gojo Satoru rushed from behind, stretched out his long arms, and hooked the shoulders of the two of them from left to right, "Do you want to guess what Teacher Ye Moth will say today?
