The head pillar also wants to be removed today

"That's... too much."

Tanjiro pursed his lips tightly, and it took him a long time to speak.

Yan Suo's conspiracy had already begun to lay out.

Even if Xia Youjie didn't choose to go to the Nonomiya Shrine back then, I'm afraid Rensuo would think of other ways to induce Xia Youjie's death and take his body.

And getting the ghost king's trace from Xia Youjie's memory may also be an accident for Ren Suo.

Long Suo, who had already vaguely understood the power of ghosts, naturally wanted to take this opportunity to use the power of ghosts.

Compared with incantations and mantras, which require prerequisite talents, the power of ghosts is really much more convenient.

Even Wuwei Transformation can change the structure of the human brain and endow people with spell power and incantations, but compared to the King of Ghosts who can transform humans into ghosts with only a little blood, it is really too troublesome.

Although ghosts do have many fatal weaknesses, if they can be combined with Wuwei Transformation, they might not be able to erase this weakness.

In this way, it may be possible for Reso to create creatures that have both ghosts and spells.

However, no matter how much Yan Suo can transform the ghost, there is one thing that he cannot erase.

That is the ghost king's perception and control over the family.

No matter how far the distance is and how scarce the blood content is, Onimai Tsujimu can wipe out the oni who speaks the name, and Tanjiro can do the same.

Existences like Zhushi and Nezuko are, after all, only a minority.

That's why Masao tried again and again to persuade Tanjiro to join his camp.

It's a pity that this plan was cut off by Gojo Satoru from the very beginning.

"No, it should be more than that."

After a moment of silence, Gojo Satoru sighed and said suddenly.

The cobalt blue eyes were tightly covered behind the black eyepatch, and Tanjiro couldn't see the expression of the strongest white hair at this moment.

But that very heavy smell, like the damp and stuffy air before the rain, slowly drifted into his nostrils.

"It's hard for people not to care about the thing that caused the heart of Kagutsuchi to riot."

Gojo Wu has more or less guessed about the cause of Xia Youjie's death, but now it's just a guess that has become an unchangeable reality.

What made him care more, and even made another trip to investigate, was that thing that didn't know if it was a curse or something.

"Kagutsuchi's heart itself is also a special-grade spell tool. It must be quite difficult to deal with such a large-scale fire."

"Although Jie himself may be part of the reason, but..."

Moreover, even if his own strength was severely suppressed, Wujo Wu didn't think that Xia Youjie would die so easily.

The strongest footsteps paused slightly, and the hands in the pockets were silently clenched.

They are "the strongest".

"It should be here."

Tanjiro looked up, and what caught his eye was a huge shopping mall.

"Miss Tiannei said, was the huge fire ten years ago here?"

Although it was not a holiday, there was still a lot of people here, so Tanjiro hurriedly walked two steps to Gojo Satoru to avoid being scattered by the crowd.

"I can't tell at all..."

"After all, it is said that he has taken a good rest."

The white-haired conjurer couldn't help but be stunned. If Riko Tenuchi hadn't told him, it would be impossible to imagine what happened here just from the outside.

"But in this case, it will be even more difficult to find clues."

Tanjiro rubbed his nose and couldn't help but sneezed.

The smells of all kinds of people were mixed together, and occasionally there were snacks, or the smell of someone's perfume, mixed into a rather terrible smell, all of which were drilled into his nose.

"Hmm..." It might be that Tanjiro was holding his nose and trying to control his sneezing, which was quite funny. Gojo Satoru turned his head and glanced at him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and his tone was finally not as heavy as before.

"I originally wanted to ask if I could use Tanjirou's sense of smell to find it, but now it seems that there is no way."

It's not clear whether this person is joking or really has such a plan.

"Eh? So, sorry?" Tanjiro was taken aback.

"Pfft." This really made Gojo Satoru laugh.

"Don't be so serious." The strongest white-haired man approached Tanjiro calmly, and the no-lower-limit spell silently spread to the other party.

"Although this may not be useful, it is better than nothing."

There is no way to stop the gas without a lower limit, and Gojo Satoru himself needs to breathe.

However, some tiny particles floating in the air may be able to be filtered a little bit.

"Then leave it to me."

Max slowly pulled down the blindfold.

"Since it has existed, it will definitely leave traces."

It's still such a powerful curse, it's impossible for it to be left without filth.

"Even if most of it is covered up by time...but it's not like nothing can be found."

After all, ordinary people can only cover up the traces of the previous fire. Even if a conjurer might find out, the possibility of dealing with it specially is too small.

Of course, even so, it is indeed a difficult problem for ordinary people to find clues after such a long time.

But Gojo Satoru is different.

He has a pair of unique eyes.

as well as--

The trace that Xia Youjie had deliberately left behind.

"It's here."

Gojo Satoru waved his hand, brushing away the dust flying up in front of him.

He took Tanjiro around, never knowing which corners and crevices went down to this kind of place that can only be called a ruin, not even a basement.

There is no need to look for it anymore, the traces of being scorched by fire, the remaining curses and filth, and the mixed blood are enough to explain what happened in the first place.

Of course Xia Youjie's body was not here, probably stolen by the rope hiding nearby in the first place.

Then the body and the spells were stolen and used.

And the cursed object that fell on the ground not far from them, was tightly sealed, and Gojo Satoru was so familiar that Tanjiro tensed up at a glance.

One finger of Su Nuo on both sides.

Strictly speaking, he had never touched Su Nuo's fingers, and Tanjiro only subconsciously felt the danger of the sealed cursed object.

Oni's bright red pupils were dimly lit in the dim environment, obviously facing only a lifeless cursed object, but Tanjiro tensed up as if he had encountered some powerful and terrifying enemy.

"Calm down, Tanjirou."

The white-haired conjurer who stood motionless beside him for a long time suddenly raised his hand and patted the evil spirit's head.

Then, he walked forward as if he didn't care, and picked it up casually, not caring about the thick dust on the cursed object.

"It turned out to be this thing."

After looking at the things in his hand for a long time, Gojo Satoru opened his mouth.

In this case, it is not surprising.

I don't know how many years the plan of Yansuo has been laid out, and I am afraid that he has been secretly collecting Su Nuo's fingers for a long time.

And it's no wonder that the fingers that have been unsealed will cause a riot in Kagutsuchi Heart.

The situation at that time did not seem so unimaginable.

Ten years ago, Xia Youjie, who learned that the source of the fire was here, rushed in with the flames of the fire.I thought it would be some powerful curse, but I didn't expect that the cause would be Su Nuo's fingers.

The unsealed finger attracted a steady stream of curses to gather. Although the strength of the curse was weakened a lot because of Kagutu's heart, Xia Youjie was also affected.

But this is not the most fundamental cause of Xia Youjie's death.

As long as he puts down the spell in his hand without hesitation before the flames completely engulf him, and tries his best, he might be able to break out from the countless spell spirits, and then report to his superiors and send other magicians to come Dealing with it can also solve this matter.

However, this takes too much time.

Whether it's a fire or a gathering of curses, if it drags on for a second, innocent ordinary people may die here.

So Xia Youjie chose to seal Su Nuo's fingers directly, and after realizing that this was a conspiracy against him, he used the little remaining magic power to leave traces that might be discovered.

Obviously he hadn't found the so-called answer at that time.

——And Gojo Satoru, after nearly ten years, finally found the trace he left behind, and this sealed Su Nuo finger.

"Let's go, Tanjirou."

After putting away the spell, there was no emotion in the voice of the white-haired conjurer.

"We... have one more thing to do."

It was the first time for Mimiko and Nanako to see this strange man with white hair.

This man, and the equally strange teenager who followed him, found them through the contact information they had left in the orphanage.

As Xia Youjie's former classmate and good friend.

"……Is that so?"

It's just that he never thought that what this white-haired man brought was the news of Xia Youjie's death.

"Sorry." The white-haired man clenched his hands and placed them on the table.

"If I could have investigated earlier—"

"No." Mimiko shook her head.

Under the worried eyes of the teenager beside the man, they shook their heads with difficulty.

"Actually, the two of us have prepared for the worst after Mr. Xia You hasn't visited us for a long time."

Nanako sobbed softly and held Mimiko's hand tightly.

"Mr. Xia You didn't lead us into the magic world at that time, but gave us ordinary people options. In any case, we are very, very grateful to him."

"At the beginning, we thought that Mr. Xia You had abandoned or forgotten us."

"But now, if this is the result, it may be more comfortable."

The two girls shook their heads again, as if laughing at their guesses.

"But think about it, how is this possible?"

"Because of Mr. Xia You, he has always been like that—a very, very gentle person."

They raised their heads again, trying to bend the corners of their mouths, trying to show a smile.

It's just that this smile is too forced to be sad.

"Maybe we don't have such qualifications, but we are still proud of Mr. Xia You, who gave his life to save people."

"It's like, Mr. Xia You saved the two of us from hell."
