Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 11 Mission
"...The College of Conjuration is not a place for people like you to hang out!"

In the corridor, Maki finished her last words to Otoko Yuta. Judging from the latter's look, Maki's words just hit her weak point and caused a critical blow.

The panda on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Maki, stop talking!" Dog Juanji also shouted at the side to signal her to stop talking. Didn't you see the depressed look on this new classmate's face...

"I know, it's so verbose." Maki carried her box with weapons on her back and walked forward.

Panda comforted Yigu Youtai and said, "Sorry, don't take it too seriously. Sometimes she thinks she understands others very well."

Yiguyouta lowered his head: "It doesn't matter, after all... what she said is the truth."

As soon as Shenyuan walked to the side, he patted his shoulder: "Don't look at it like this, Maki is a very gentle person to his companions..."

"God...Genichi!"

Maki's roar came from the front, and Shenyuan hurriedly said goodbye: "I'm going to find Teacher Gojo, let's go first!" He waved to a few people and quickly slipped away.

……

"This mission is a bit special. Not only is it a curse, but it may also involve a curse master. However, it is only at the second to first level level at most. If Yuan Yi can complete it, promotion to the first level only requires a recommender and the completion of the assessment. That’s it.”

Gojo Satoru looked very relaxed and continued: "And your spells are also very advantageous against curse masters, so this is a solo mission, okay?"

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Shenyuanyi. The permissions you can obtain after being promoted to a level, even if it is only a quasi-level, are different. Simply speaking, the rewards for different levels of tasks are not of the same level.

"I have no problem, but I need a spell tool for melee combat. Do you have any, Mr. Gojo?"

Gojo Satoru nodded: "It's in the school's library. I'll register it for you later."

After that, Shenyuanyi got a knife-shaped curse tool, but in theory it was still the ownership of the school. After getting the information about the mission, Shenyuanyi was ready to set off.

The assistant supervisor who is in charge of working with Kangenichi is called Nitta Akira, a beautiful woman with medium-long blond hair. She doesn’t know her exact age, but she looks quite young, lively and cute.

The mission location was a small town. The cause was that five adult women disappeared for no reason. The local police were originally investigating the case, but when the last victim was killed, it was captured on one of the few surveillance cameras on the street. .

Then the strange sight made them choose to seek help from professionals. Shenyuan Yi was not too surprised by this. Under normal circumstances, the cursed spirit is not only invisible to ordinary people, but also cannot be recorded by surveillance cameras and cameras.

It must have been that scene that made the police know that this incident was unusual, and they chose to report it.After arriving in the town, Nitta Ming reported all the information about the case to Shenyuan Yi.

"In other words, Chuang is sure that there are still traces of curses in the town, and the victims are too regular, so he suspects that a curse master is involved?"

Nitta Akira nodded seriously: "Yes."

Shenyuan touched his chin and pondered for a moment. The so-called curse masters can be understood as "fallen" curse masters. Most of them have bad behaviors, such as the currently famous curse masters, who were also students of the Curse College. Super magician——Xia Youjie.

It is said that he defected after massacring 112 villagers in a village, and later even killed his own parents, who were ordinary people. After committing such a heinous act, he was judged as a curser and needed to be executed.

But so far, he seems to be alive. This person seems to have some stories with Teacher Gojo Satoru... After all, they are classmates.

Putting aside these messy thoughts, Shen Yuanyi focused on the suspicious point of this case: the common points of the five victims.

First of all, they are all young and beautiful women, aged between 25 and [-].Secondly, they were killed late at night, and their bodies all had signs of damage. The scene could only be said to be very tragic, and Shenyuan Yi, who was used to seeing the terrifying and disgusting scenes of cursed spirits, almost couldn't bear it.

"If the murderer is a human being, he seems to be mentally ill. There are no signs of abuse on these victims. According to the forensic examination, the victims were all brought to the scene of the crime while they were conscious and mutilated. Although their bodies were The damage is severe, but there are no missing parts..."

It wasn't for lust, and these five people had no intersection in their lives, so it wasn't a vendetta. Could it be that they were really the kind of perverted serial killers who only wanted to vent their dark desires?And he’s also a curse master!

According to the inference of the current clues, if the curse kills people, the pattern will not be like this, but it is more likely that they have all been to a certain place in common.

"It's better to look for any traces of the curse first."

Then Shenyuan Yibi and Nitta Akira began patrolling the town. However, in the past afternoon, except for a few cursed remnants, they did not find anything abnormal.

And the locations where the remaining curse power is located have nothing in common, and are relatively far apart, so they are of little value for the time being.

"Is the murderer hiding?" Nitta Ming asked, but was quickly rejected by Shenyuan Yi.

"No, to put it bluntly, most of these curse masters have difficulty controlling the negative emotions that accompany the power of the curse. To a certain extent, they are lunatics... although most curse masters seem to be a little bit good at it."

"The crimes committed by the five victims were almost continuous. Even when the police investigation was at its peak, the murderer did not stop committing crimes, so the murderer must be very rampant."

"That's right. With the power beyond ordinary people and the ability to control the life and death of others, these murderers would be weird if they didn't do this." Shenyuanyi, who was silent for a while, suddenly said: "Ms. Nitta Akira, I have an idea... …”

Nitta Akira, who was also worried about how to catch the murderer, perked up after hearing this: "Please tell me!"

Shenyuan looked at Nitta Akira. She was wearing a women's suit. She had a pretty good figure. Her appearance was not stunning, but she was what most people would call a beauty. Her blond hair was also very fashionable and beautiful.

"You meet the murderer's hunting criteria very well. You are young and beautiful, and you only need to appear alone on the streets late at night. Then as long as the wandering hunter sees you, he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity. And your curse The power is not outstanding, and it will not arouse the vigilance of the murderer, it is just..."

Nitta Akira thought for a moment and then showed a determined expression: "I am willing to cooperate. Since there is a curse master involved, if we catch him a day earlier, one less person will be harmed!"

Shenyuan nodded: "But Ms. Nitta Akira, you don't have to worry too much. My technique is about speed. I will keep you in my sight. Once the murderer is confirmed, you only need to distract him." In a few seconds, I can be at your side immediately.”

Nitta Akira nodded to indicate understanding, and then the two began to discuss specific action plans.

……

As night falls, there are no more people on the streets. Only some drunkards, people who are greedy for nightlife and those who work regardless of night and day may still be walking on the streets.

At this time, a beautiful blond woman was walking staggeringly on the street. She was fashionably dressed, with gorgeous makeup, and a slightly drunk and unsteady pace. She might have just gotten drunk from the bar.

There was no one around late at night, and a beautiful young woman was alone. Naturally, people who were "looking for food" in the middle of the night and had malicious intentions soon followed her.

The woman was Akira Nitta. She was walking on the street in a state of drunkenness that she was probably pretending to be drunk. Not long after, a man followed her in the dark.

Nitta Ming secretly wondered if it might be the murderer, and the footsteps getting closer seemed to become more terrifying.

Not long after, the person following behind seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and suddenly quickened his pace, and then a low, slightly obscene voice sounded: "Madam, are you drunk? Do you need help?"

Nitta Akira, who was a little worried, had not forgotten his disguise. His expression, movements, and tone were all what a drunk person should look like.

"No...who are you? If you don't leave, I will...call the police..."

The man followed Akira Nitta for some distance, but seemed to see that she was still conscious and might call the police at any time, so he gave up on this "prey" and disappeared into the darkness.

"I didn't use curses to make myself lose the ability to resist. I gave up my goal when the situation turned bad. It seems that he is not the murderer." Nitta Akira made a calm judgment in his heart, and then pretended to walk towards "home".

However, not long after, Nitta Akira heard footsteps behind her again. She looked back and found that it was the man just now. It seemed that he was unwilling to give up just like that, so he left again.

Nitta Akira, who has something important to do, certainly doesn't want to be entangled with this ordinary person who is very likely not the murderer, but there is no good way at the moment. After all, she is just pretending to be an ordinary person at this time, and there is no guarantee whether the murderer will. Staring in the dark...

So she just pretended to be scared and walked quickly toward the place illuminated by the streetlight in front of her. The man following her also quickened his pace and tried to stop her.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Just when Nitta Akira was thinking about whether to pretend to interrupt the mission and deal with this person for a while, she suddenly saw a taxi parked on the street in front of her, and an ordinary middle-aged social worker was getting out of the car. Up and down.

"Go over and ask for help, and you should be able to scare away the ordinary person behind you." Thinking like this, Nitta Akira walked over quickly.

The middle-aged social worker had already left, but Nitta saw that the taxi hadn't left yet. Perhaps the other party saw Nitta Akira walking over quickly and thought she wanted a ride.

When he walked to the car, the man following behind him hesitated a little. Nitta Akira bent down slightly to talk, but when he faced the driver, he was stunned for a moment, and then the words he blurted out became: "Hello, I Need a ride..."

The driver, who couldn't see her face clearly, didn't even ask her where she was going. He smiled and said, "Get in the car, beautiful lady."

The car door at the back suddenly opened, and Nitta Akira suddenly realized that she was sitting in the back seat. Her mind was like a rusty gear and it was difficult to move, as if there was a heavy weight on her body.

"Damn it, he's the murderer!" Nitta Ming could barely move his eyes and saw the taxi starting up. There seemed to be black unknown objects surging in the somewhat old car body.

"There is no way to ask for help, what should I do..."

She tried to take action to notify Shenyuan Yi, but after all her efforts to no avail, although she had not given up yet, she could only place her hope in Shenyuan Yi's discovery of the abnormality.

Judging from the murderer's pattern of committing crimes, it seemed that she would be okay for a while, until she arrived at the crime scene decided by the murderer, looked at the driver's evil smile in the rearview mirror, which made her feel cold, and then thought of the victims. The tragic situation, and fear gradually filled her heart for a while.

Shenyuan, who was hiding in the dark, saw Nitta Akira get into a taxi and get rid of the man who was following her. She originally planned to cancel tonight's plan if she couldn't get rid of the man.

Unexpectedly, Nitta Akira got into a taxi... How could she choose to do this?There was no way to lift the murderer by moving in the taxi... and the only explanation was: there was something wrong with the taxi.
