Correct use of scientific spells

According to the existing information, the curse spirits can be divided into two types: the cursed spirits that can have a clear direction, and the imaginary spirits that are born due to the unconsciousness of the group.

Xia Youjie provided the basic knowledge, and the cursed forum further completed the information.In order to verify the reliability, Toyama Minato even contacted Granny Sanzhi, who was selling rosary beads, and got more detailed information about the curse spirit from the other party.

"I don't actually recommend that you do these dangerous things."

She stared at the other party: "Although it can indeed keep me in business...but even if I don't make this little money, it's better for young people to live."

During this period of getting along, he and these college students have become familiar from strangers.She knew that they were determined to enter the future science department of Tokyo Electric Power University, and she also knew that they were essentially non-magicians who could not see the magic spirit, but they stepped into this dangerous world by accident.

"I will be careful."

Toyama Minato said: "It's just that if I don't do anything, I will probably regret this decision for the rest of my life."

The young man in front of him was carrying a mountaineering bag for travel and wearing a weird wrist watch, with a sincere and determined expression.This world may be bad enough, and the future is hard to tell, but at least at every intersection of fate, he wants to make a choice that he will not regret.

The next day, the Future Science Research Office held a new roundtable meeting in the Lab, with participants Okabe, Hashida, Makise and Toyama Minato.At present, the four of them are all members of the Lab who have an understanding of spell spirits. Considering the danger of this invisible creature, they will also adopt their own guarantee plan.

Hong Lixi hesitated for a moment, and took out a stack of papers from her backpack, all of which were handwritten, and it was a copy of the original paper she brought back from the United States.

The original paper has been completely destroyed. Considering the bad impact on the future, she has decided to temporarily seal the research results.And in order to prevent important secrets from being stolen, they didn't even intend to archive this document in any electronic form, and reproduced it word by word in handwritten form.

"This is the paper on the time machine theory."

She said: "Okabe said that he has read it in other world lines. Regarding the specific application of this paper, there are several possibilities in other world lines."

Minato Toyama had also heard stories about telephone microwave ovens and time-hopping machines before, but Okabe did not explain the specific theories too clearly, maintaining a secretive attitude, and his focus was very fast Transferred to the body of the curse spirit, the exploration of the time machine was temporarily delayed.

Afterwards, a series of accidental incidents that caught off guard, coupled with the entrustment of a large sum of money by Miss Ming, it has already passed more than half a year.

"The principle of the time-hopping machine is to encode the nerve impulse signal into an electrical signal, and compress the signal through the LHC to generate a small Kerr black hole, and control it within the range of 36Byte... Finally, use the same theory as the telephone microwave oven to send the memory to the past, Taken over by your past self."

Makise Kurisu has obviously communicated with Okabe in private. The theoretical basis is interspersed with the implementation method. Tell anyone about the existence of the experimental machine, and it is strictly forbidden to leave any relevant traces on the Internet."

Everyone is in favor of this point. Everything about the LHC experiment is very likely to be the key to destroying the world. This manuscript is also best to be destroyed after reading it. At least for now, the brain is still the safest in the world storage device.

"Then the remaining manpower can be divided into another point."

Okabe let out a breath slowly: "Leave the backup this time to us, Toyama, go and do what you want as much as possible."

"It's like you supported us in those future world lines."

He said, with a relieved expression on his face: "This time I will try my best to support you."

It was the end of the year, and Grandma Sanzhi said that she was going back to her hometown for the New Year. Before she left, she saved all her remaining stocks for a clearance sale, saying that no one except them students would want her rosary beads anyway.

Even though they have recently started a super promotion with the level of "large quantity discount", this time the price has been further discounted on the original basis, which surprised Yuanshan Minato.

"You want to deal with the curse spirit, right?"

The other party raised his eyelids: "It's full of young people's ignorance and recklessness... Obviously it would be easier not to do this, but since I still do it, then of course the old man is willing to help a little."

Before leaving, the other party hinted that, like her rosary, the magic-breaking arrow sold by the shrine is a powerful weapon against curse spirits. It is sold every year when praying for New Year's Eve, so you can take the opportunity to stock up.

"This is the most effective type of magic tools that ordinary people can get close to."

She said: "After taking it home, put it on the eaves for good luck and avoid bad luck. It is a long-standing tradition to replace it every year."

...there is such a tradition?

Toyama Minato, who has lived in Tokyo since he was a child, even reacted a bit, and finally collected a little memory from his mind when his parents took him back to the countryside for the New Year's Eve in his childhood.In addition to eating New Year's bento, Nianyue buckwheat, watching Kohaku Utakai and Hakone Ekiden programs, it seems that there are indeed some traditional activities related to the shrine's blessing.

——At that time, at that time, no one believed that there would be ghosts that hurt people in this world.

But in my impression, the price of those magic-breaking arrows has nothing to do with magic equipment—at least to the extent that my parents would not feel too painful to buy them. Compared with the magic equipment I usually recognize, it seems to be as cheap as Fast-moving consumer goods mass-produced in factories.

Or... To put it bluntly, if I didn't know the secret of the magician now, I would definitely feel that this is just a seasonal product made for the New Year's atmosphere.

Probably because his expression was too straightforward, Granny Sanzhi immediately understood what he was suspicious of, and said calmly: "This is an opportunity for those shrines to eliminate low-level curse spirits once a year."

To put it simply, exorcising curse spirits is a large and troublesome job.If most of the existing conjurers are to work overtime together, use the process of "discovering through the window, reporting to the assistant supervisor, and finally handing over to the conjurer for processing, and writing a report after completion" to handle all the problems. Curse Spirit, then everyone's pain will be super doubled.

As such, they needed a more streamlined way to batch low-level spell collars.

——Low-level, referring to the kind of teens who can't even be counted as fourth-level curse spirits. Even Yuanshan Minato can use three mother-in-law's rosary beads to shoot one at a time.

The shrine has a long history of relying on this method to exorcise cursed spirits. It has been documented since the 11th century AD: people would place magic-breaking arrows on the beams to open a barrier and expel evil spirits.

The price of the broken magic arrows on the market is about [-] to [-] yen each, and with the blessing of traditional culture and customs, it is guaranteed that most citizens can afford to buy one as a replacement every year; It is not very expensive, and the mantra power can be used after filling it in. It can be used to exorcise mantra spirits on a large scale with the highest efficiency during the New Year, the season of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

"It's like spraying cockroaches on a large scale where there are cockroaches."

Grandma Sanzhi used a very down-to-earth metaphor: "One-time, high efficiency, large-scale... If you maintain the frequency of culling once a year, you won't let those ineffective things grow into uncontrollable monsters."

This custom of making magic-breaking arrows for "broad-spectrum sterilization" is probably invented by a magician thousands of years ago, and has been passed down from generation to generation until now.In Kanagawa, there is a special "Breaking Arrow"[1], which is used to mass-produce the "Blessing" of the shrine, and even applied for the registration of related trademarks - just like the "Sanjo" for making swords and spells. Like the "Small Blacksmith Zongjin", in some respects it is exceptionally advanced with the times.

In addition to Kanagawa, a relatively well-known place, many shrines will also make their own magic-breaking arrows and sell them locally. This is a traditional activity of the clergy. It is not only "charitable" but also can actually reduce their work pressure... Here, Toyama Minato couldn't help coughing dryly—it always made him feel a little weird to use the term "charitable nature" here.

"In short, this is also a good choice for ordinary people to obtain magic tools."

Granny Sanzhi concluded: "However, we must also pay attention to screening, there are scammers who will sell waste products."

Toyama Minato: "..."

Ah this.

Seriously, this industry needs a regulator.

This period of time also happened to be the time for the students' final exams. Even though most of their daily experiences were concentrated in research and development, Toyama Minato and the others had to spare a lot of energy to cope with the school exams.Xia Youjie's situation is no different. Although most of his experience throughout the year has been concentrated on running around to exorcise curse spirits, but...

——In the High School of Conjuration, there will still be culture classes.

The protagonist of the juvenile comics also needs to learn, Xia Youjie couldn't help but cover his face, he had never read so many comics before describing the scene where the protagonist fell into the hell of endorsement.

There are two main types of cultural courses in colleges, one is ordinary Chinese and mathematics, at most there are special adjustments in the selection of texts due to the religious nature of colleges—for example, let students recognize a few more spells that are used to spells. The Chinese characters that are not common in daily life in the field - the other is collectively referred to as "zaxue", learning the theoretical knowledge of being a conjurer.

The types of curse spirits, the production of spell tools, several common general-purpose spells, the countermeasures of curse masters, and the organizational structure of the spell world are all here and there.

Xia Youjie once showed Yuan Shankou his review materials before the exam, and the other party sent a series of ellipsis, thinking that this was not much easier than memorizing the contents of the engineering materials.Gojo Satoru was particularly relaxed. On the one hand, he had heard the content of the lectures since he was a child, and he was ahead of all his classmates. On the other hand, this guy who never studied on weekdays was actually very good at mathematics. The content can also be understood.

"And what happens if you fail the exam?"

Gojo Satoru said: "Noctua will not fire me."

Xia Youjie: "..."

He put down his textbook, raised his hand and patted the back of the other person's head gently: "I've already said it before, I want to call Teacher Ye Moth."

During this intense review time, Yuanshan Minato and the others finally discovered the first curse spirit—it could be submitted to the auxiliary supervisor, but it was not recorded in other "windows", and there was a certain risk of extermination.

The place where the curse spirit appeared was in the library of Dongdian University.

"It's hard not to guess. This is because everyone has been under a lot of mental pressure recently."

Hashida Zhi said that he was still holding a large pile of handout materials: "Ever since I learned how the curse spirit is born, I feel that I should go to those social animal companies that work overtime every day."

"There is no problem with this idea."

Okabe agreed: "Next time, you can go to a bank or a financial company to have a look."

The functional scope of "windows" is generally divided by area. An excellent auxiliary supervisor can often remember the contact information of a large number of "windows" in different areas. If there is an emergency in a certain area, it is convenient to contact the locals immediately for investigation and investigation report.Toyama Minato's main activities on weekdays are in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, where the population density and mobility are very high, and there are many universities, which is also the area where the occurrence of spells is high.

There are several auxiliary supervisors in the Chiyoda area who are in charge together. Toyama Minato obtained the contact information of one of them from Ms. Mei (costing 500 yen), edited the text message and submitted the location and location of the curse spirit.The other party called back soon, asking about the current situation of the curse spirit and whether the crowd in the library needed to be evacuated.

"It's not very big."

Toyama Minato said: "And it has just been generated, not a few days ago. From the perspective of confidentiality, it is not recommended to evacuate."

The last time a curse spirit appeared in the school was at the beginning of the year. That incident directly led to half of his foot stepping into the world of magicians. Now this time seems to be an opportunity to take back the second half of his foot. Glancing at his computer screen, the "abnormal reminder" that popped up was particularly clear.

The assistant overseer arrived quickly by car, took a look through the glass outside the library, took a few notes in the notebook he carried with him, and then stood under the tree and started talking on the phone.

"I'm a freelancer who hasn't logged in yet."

Minato Yuanshan controls the drone to hover beside the other party, and the speaker emits a slightly distorted voice after processing: "After Miss Ming's introduction, I want to become a member of the "window"."

This kind of situation is not uncommon at work. The assistant supervisor in suit and leather shoes glanced at the drone and could feel that there was indeed a thin layer of magic power on it.

After all, it is impossible for mobile phones and cameras to capture the magic spirit. He didn't think about it at all, so the closest to the correct answer is...

"—Puppet manipulation?"

"Basically, I have no actual combat ability, and I have not experienced similar education myself, so I can only be regarded as a non-combatant."

Yuan Shanmin had already prepared the draft in his heart, and did not deny it directly: "The personal information, contact information, bank account and mailing address for receiving and payment have all been sent to your email address, and I will help you to verify it after trouble."

—— Completely put on an attitude of job hunting.

This time the level of the magic spirit is not high, and it can be solved by dispatching a third-level magician who has not been entrusted in Tokyo for the time being. This level of work is almost the most basic part of daily tasks for the auxiliary supervisor.The other party completed the contact with ease, and then told Yuanshan Minato not to provoke the curse spirit without authorization, and quietly observed and waited until they arrived with the magician.

"clear."

The drone said: "I am on standby within a radius of 300 meters nearby. If there is an emergency, I will call you immediately."

It seems to be a puppet manipulation technique with a very narrow range of manipulation. The assistant supervisor thought to himself that shikigami is a category of conjurers with a huge gap between the upper and lower limits. It covers the whole of Japan, and some people can't even afford a school.

——But this talent is at least enough as a "window".

"Can these puppets of yours see the curse spirit without being triggered?"

To be on the safe side, he asked one more question, and got an affirmative answer.

"Then just wait for the notification. This kind of application will usually be approved, not to mention that you are the type with spells."

The other party replied: "Please give me more advice in future work, Mr. Yamami."

The author has something to say:

General notes:

[1] There really is a place dedicated to smashing magic arrows.

I personally guess that the magic world has been working for so many years. I think it should have done a little bit of personnel work, but their version has not been updated.
