Correct use of scientific spells

When lying in an unfamiliar guest room, Xia Youjie's mood...was a little annoying.

He received a bombardment of more than 20 text messages from his best friend - because he rarely went to Tokyo to do missions, he went out alone without bringing back snacks, and even left his "smart and cute" little friend to go out alone, This kind of bad behavior should be punished by God.

"Heaven's Punishment" is the constantly vibrating mobile phone, various remedial measures like land cession and compensation (you need to set up a bondage to help the other party bring a week of snacks, etc.), and promise to call him for fun things in the future.

Although it was not so fun to ask himself, Xia Youjie still promised everything with a good temper, and finally comforted his little friend a little.

The room he is in is a bit narrow. In addition to being used as a guest room, it may also have the function of a storage room. There are several cabinets with universal wheel bases against the wall, and there are layers of cabinets nested in the opportunity. Stack the bulk host with the shell removed.

According to the seniors, this is a simple and crude means to increase the computing power of the computer, but it has not been put into use yet, and all of them are piled up here. It is said that it is because all the hosts will be very noisy after running. They move or directly move the bed in the guest room.

He couldn't understand how "simple and rude" this was, and he could only guess that the victory was based on numbers.

There are unopened disposable toiletries in the bathroom. Obviously, this place is used as a reception room for those college students, and it is prepared from the beginning that someone will stay overnight.The young conjurer looked at the ceiling in the room, not feeling sleepy at all. He sat up from the bed and looked out the door. There was a slight cold light on the computer screen in the living room.

"I wanted to say it before, this kind of life style is not very healthy."

He propped the door of the room with one hand, showing a sense of presence that cannot be ignored: "I often see seniors still updating Twitter at two or three o'clock."

"Hey..."

The person in front of the computer turned the chair around: "Many times I feel that there is not enough time, and I am pushed forward by one trouble after another, and it is too late to react... It is really not a good habit, don't Learn."

——throwing the topic back frankly.

Faced with this attitude of "I know it but I won't change it", Xia Youjie calmly dragged a stool and sat next to him: "What are you looking at now?"

"The email has been answered."

Yuanshan Minato said that the two computer screens in front of him had a total of seven or eight windows open, all of which were various mail receipts.Some people were skeptical about his request, some directly sent evidence of payment, and some angrily expressed "how did they get to know his personal contact information".

"I also analyzed it with Mr. Iwata before. The reason why the cursed spirit was born in the building is because even the victims did not realize who they should resent."

He ran his fingers on the keyboard, and typed out a series of replies while analyzing with Xia Youjie: "Generally speaking, turning into a wraith after death to take revenge on those who hated those who were alive is a sad but effective method." The means of revenge - Michizane Sugawara, the god of learning, is the most famous example in history."

Including the thunderstorm incident in the Qingliang Temple, those who offended him were punished one by one. This kind of attack at the cost of their lives cannot be said to be "certainly fair", but at least it can be regarded as a kind of desperation. out of choice.

But in this kind of financial fraud, these people can't find a clear enemy.

The finances behind corporations and those in power are never revealed, the targets of hatred are vague and ambiguous, and the curse cannot be focused on a definite individual even after some have paid with their lives.

So this kind of resentment with nowhere to go gathered in that building, as if the building itself became a symbol, a sharp knife for mana to harvest money and life in the city.

"I've always wanted to ask, after you eat the curse spirit, can you understand the origin and purpose of the curse spirit?"

Toyama Minato asked suddenly.

"Well... I can still know in general."

Xia Youjie looked like he didn't intend to go into too much detail: "Just like this one, I can barely feel that it was formed by the confluence of the curses of several people... I can also feel a little bit of that emotion, but If you want to ask me the specific reasons and what happened, I don’t know.”

"Think I'm treating you as a detective at the recovery site?"

Toyama Minato said in surprise.

"Huh? Isn't it?"

"It's just that I'm simply curious about the magic spell. After all, it's the protagonist of the manga."

"Please stop making such jokes..."

"Actually, if it wasn't for the fear of offending, there are actually a lot of things I want to know. It's just that it's the first time I get along with a magician, and I don't know how to express it."

He sorted out the information he received continuously. Judging from the chat records and ticket ordering status of these executives, the intelligence gradually pointed to several highly probable targets.It's a pity that there are many ways to sell stolen goods, including investing in movies, purchasing overseas assets, cash transfers, etc. If you only find people but not money, the affected ordinary people still cannot recover their hard-earned money. .

Xia Youjie sat farther away. The conjurer's better eyesight than ordinary people allowed him to clearly see the gradually increasing characters on the screen and the scrolling progress bar.He vaguely remembered that when he was younger, he tried to cry about this too bad world to the people around him, but this voice was never conveyed correctly.

"...Senior, you can ask anything you want."

He said: "As long as it is a question that I can answer, I will answer it as much as possible."

"Uh, cough—I'm not being polite about that."

Toyama cleared his throat, and asked a series of questions.

What kind of space does the swallowed mantra exist?After the mantra spirit was compressed into mantra spirit jade, did the concentration of something change?It can be understood that the file in the computer is encoded into a compressed package, so it needs to be re-decoded when summoned?If it is the kind of mantra with intelligence, where is the place where they carry out their thinking activities, it can't always be the brain...

——As a result, Xia Youjie didn't answer a single question except for "there is no upper limit to the reserves of mantras".

"……Feel sorry."

He said a little frustrated.

"It's nothing, it's normal that you can't express it verbally."

Yuanshan Minato said: "I asked Ms. Ming before what kind of experience it is to have multiple visions at the same time-it turned out that it was difficult for her to express it in words."

Just like there are nearly a hundred names of camels in Arabic, human language and culture cannot escape their own cognition after all.You can't explain Kerr black holes and quantum entanglement to the ancients clearly, and of course you can't personally understand that there is only one case of magic spell or six eyes in the world.

But that didn't stop his curiosity.

It feels magical every time I watch it.Completely transparent entities stepped through the space, and monsters of various sizes crowded the scanning range of the detector, and all of these came from the boy in front of him who looked no different from an ordinary person.

"It's so convenient, the magic spell."

Watching the other party lock the three curse spirits into the room, Toyama Minato finally had to sigh: "It's much more convenient to study, otherwise you won't even be able to find the experimental samples—last time you didn't have time to come together because you had something to do, wait You must come to celebrate the day you develop the spell detection device, and I will write your name in the thank you note for the thesis."

"It sounds a little bit exciting."

Xia Youjie also laughed, "I will."

Although many activities were planned in advance, the plan did not change quickly. Early the next morning, the busy magician was called away to work by several calls.

When Toyama Minato got up from the bed, he only saw a post-it note on the table with words like thank you for staying overnight.Xia Youjie took two sandwiches from the refrigerator and took them away. He needed to rush to Odaiba, so he probably had no time to continue this kind of detective activities.

Today is still a busy day, and Toyama has installed surveillance cameras near several suspicious locations, intending to find a way to personally guard the person in charge of the chaebol behind it—in fact, Hashida Zhi once suggested to search for the remittance records directly at the other party’s home. It's convenient, but morality makes them give up the idea halfway.

——After hanging around in the curser's forum for a long time, this kind of illegal behavior that does not involve murder and arson seems to have become kinder.

A black car was parked at the corner of the road, with double flashing lights on, and it had been squatting for a long time.

"What are you doing, that guy, did you find out here because you were cheated out of money before?"

The man holding the steering wheel complained with some doubts: "I've been going around here for so long, what if I startle the snake..."

"Never mind, that person cannot be counted as an ordinary citizen."

The prosecutor sitting in a suit and leather shoes in the back row was silent for a while, and opened his mobile phone.

——He also received the group text messages from before. At first, he thought it was an ordinary scam message, but after a little contact, he could clearly feel the abnormality of the other party.

"You can consult the highest-ranking leader you can meet about the "Conjurer", Mr. Kurosaki. "

A new message that the sender was a string of garbled characters automatically popped up on the screen of the phone, unceremoniously revealing his true identity: "In order to solve the troubles caused by the "frequent power outages" in that building, I am willing to share with you Form cooperation. "

"No... I don't need to gain anything. To put it bluntly, if these problems are not resolved, it will be a bigger problem for us. Three suicides and countless iterations of financial disputes, if this Since Tonglou has developed the theory of being haunted, it cannot be solved by easy phone calls and emails."

The other party emphasized his tone: "Everyone still prefers to use a more scientific method to solve the problem, right?"

"Looks like science" is a very ambiguous expression. It can be used to describe some uncanny black technology, and it can also be misunderstood as using the methods of a conjurer.He himself has the identity of a "window" in the magic world. For these "people who don't know much about the other world", it is obvious which direction they will think in.

"..."

The other party was silent for a while: "You are right, Mr. Yamami."

The auxiliary supervisor has the right to connect with some government functional departments. This is to facilitate the magician to perform their work better, and also to build a bridge between the inner world and the outer world.The basic level of fake tiger power can solve many problems, and it can also facilitate the use of the concept of "spells", which is not prohibited by law, to cover up their nature as a group of hackers who have obtained surveillance data.

Of course, he also made it clear to Mr. Iwata, the assistant supervisor, that he needed to collect some information about the financial industry, but the information gap between the two sides over the years made it impossible for people to think of the most basic question - he is not a magician at all.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and it began to rain lightly.The drone hovered and landed from the sky, returning to the palm of his hand.The mechanical dog, which has been waterproofed on the surface, circled around its calf for a few times, but did not detect any abnormalities in the surrounding environment, and entered the power-saving standby mode.

The man in a black suit had an unfriendly expression, but he still held a black umbrella, opened the car door and stood in front of him.

"I'm the prosecutor in charge of investigating this company."

The other party handed over a business card, "You already knew the name last night."

Yuanshan Minato also skillfully took out his business card from his pocket, and smiled shyly: "Sorry, this is not my real name—in our industry, not everyone likes to live with their original name. "

His attitude is both sincere and realistic, and there is even an area he has been in charge of recently on the back of the business card: "However, my classmates in the university know my identity. If you want to investigate, it will not be special to search. Disaster."

This is oblique friendliness.Most conjurers seem to have a condescending attitude towards ordinary people, and there is basically no possibility of cooperation, and the auxiliary supervisor is just a tool person responsible for coordination and cooperation and reporting news. It is actually very rare for Yuanshan Minato to actively contact.

But as long as the other party makes a psychological portrait of him as a caring person, he will be able to find the reason-he comes from an ordinary family, has little contact with conjurers, lacks systematic education in the industry, and is in a non-magic environment. One of them grows up all the way, and the other side may understand if they get closer.

...Of course, this is still a lie.

If he had to swallow a thousand needles to tell a lie, he would probably be a cactus.

"This is some information I have found so far."

Minato Yuanshan took out a file bag: "Further searching may involve some divination, cursing, and a series of acts of invading personal privacy. My condition is that if you can't find the money that this person has hidden, please return the money." Behavior turns a blind eye."

"...Are all these actions just to save people?"

The prosecutor's expression was a little complicated. He didn't expect that he would step into the realm of supernatural power overnight: "If it doesn't cause that person's accidental death, I agree to your request."

"But why—there has never been a conjurer doing such a thing before."

...Of course it's because he's not a conjurer.

Toyama shrugged.

"Just treat it as a partner of justice who passed by by chance."

The young man in front of him smiled: "Because I also have a few conjurer friends, if this kind of scum causes him to work overtime all the time, wouldn't it be too unfair to the young man?"

"So, happy cooperation."
