Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 23

Osaka.

Shenyuan picked up his luggage and walked out of the airport with the white wolf. He was originally thinking about how to bring him over, but it turned out that pets were allowed on this plane. Although the white wolf was a bit bigger, he still had the appearance of a husky. That intelligent look is really not offensive.

This mission is not difficult, but it is a little special. Shenyuan came here not only to solve the mission related to the Curse Master, but the most important thing is that someone in the family related to this mission has awakened the spell.

Originally, this place was closer to the Kyoto Conjuring High School, so it should be solved there. However, although this long-standing family has not produced any conjuring masters in recent times, it is just an ordinary family.

But his ancestors also had the inheritance related to spells, but now no descendants have this talent. According to Teacher Gojo, it seems that in this generation, a descendant of the family has awakened to the spells.

Because there was no relevant teaching, the principal always thought that she had superpowers or something (Shenyuan [-]: What a coincidence). It was not until a recent accident that she was discovered by her family. Then her grandfather was fairly familiar with the family's classics. Doudou After wandering around, I found the Gojo family.

The so-called accident was that a curse master seemed to be eyeing their home, and Gojo Satoru asked his dear student to solve the problem and see if he could add a new student to Tokyo Curse High School.

Before Shenyuan left the airport, he saw someone holding a sign with his name written on it. It seemed that there was someone to pick him up.Also, Gojo Satoru didn't tell him the specific location at all. He only gave him a phone call and someone was responsible for these messy things.

The person who came to pick him up was a woman in a black suit. Her appearance could only be described as average. She might be a little better with makeup. She was about 1.7 meters tall, and she looked very tall.

As soon as Shenyuan came forward, his sunglasses slid down slightly to reveal his eyes. He thought for a while and said, "It must be the 'Yuan family'. I am Shenyuan Yi."

The woman bowed: "Genichi-kun, I'm Shimosugi Harako. The vehicle to pick you up has been prepared outside. Please come with me."

After leaving the airport, Shenyuan Yi saw a stretch luxury car that looked very valuable parked on the side of the road. The car logo seemed to be a triangle pattern. Shenyuan Yi didn't know much about this thing, and then Sugihara opened it for him. As soon as she opened the car door, Bai Lang jumped in, and Shenyuan Yi also sat in.

There were only two seats in the spacious back row. Shen Yuan was stunned as soon as he entered, because there was already a person sitting on the other side. She was a young and beautiful girl with an oval face, almond eyes and willowy eyebrows, and a pair of regular legs with short legs. The skirt covers her, and she is slender and fair without any extra fat. She is probably the kind of person that scouts will keep asking about when she walks on the street.

The girl seemed to be looking at Shenyuanyi and the white wolf with curiosity. Even if a big dog was stuffed in, the space seemed to be okay. Shenyuanyi took off his sunglasses and asked: "Are you from the Yuan family?"

The girl stretched out her hand: "My name is Minamoto."

Shenyuan Yi shook hands politely: "Shen Yuanyi, you are the one who awakened the spell, right?"

Gen Nayin's eyes lit up: "How did you figure out that you are also the conjurer?"

Of course, Shen Yuanyi didn't see it, he guessed it. Yuan Nayin's spell power was very good. According to the intelligence, it seemed to be related to her spell.

The reason for guessing is much simpler. He came here for this matter. The girl named Minamoto did not look like an employee like Sugihara Ko in the car.

He was also very curious about himself. He was probably the son of the Yuan family who had just learned about the conjurer.

The car started smoothly. As soon as Shenyuan saw that there was a partition between the front and rear seats, Sugihara was sitting in the passenger seat.

Without answering Gennain's question, Kangenichi lay on the comfortable seat and asked: "Do you know something about the conjurer now?"

It could be seen that Gennain was very excited. She nodded repeatedly when she heard this. She had also thought about whether there were other people in the world who also had "superpowers".

As a result, she finally learned about the existence of the magic world, and her family was once a member of it. The grandfather who guarded the ancestral home dug out ancient books from those corners, and the things recorded on them simply opened the door to a new world for her.

When someone with malicious intentions attacked her home before, she relied on her "superpower", no... it should be said to be a magic spell, to drive away the so-called cursed spirit.

"Do you also have a magic spell? What is your magic spell?"

"Is this dog an ordinary dog? Why does it seem a little...different?"

……

For a moment, the girl was like a curious baby asking questions. Shenyuan Yi listened quietly to her ramblings, and then she spoke: "Although most people's spells are public, but after seeing Others should try not to take the initiative to ask. By the way, my technique is related to speed."

"It's called White Wolf. Although it looks like a dog, it's actually a cursed skeleton. It was made by our principal."

After that, Shenyuanyi casually answered some of her questions. From her questions, it can be seen that Gennain did have some basic understanding of the magic world, but because of curiosity and knowing what is happening but not knowing why, she had many questions. Desperate to know the answer.

The vehicle drove extremely smoothly along the way, and Shen Yuanyi almost forgot that he was still on the road, until he felt a slight stagnation, and then Yuan Nayin said with a smile: "We are here."

Opening the car door, Bai Lang jumped out first, and then Shenyuan Yi, who got out of the car, saw the car parked in front of a house, and there were several cars in front and behind their car. It looked like they were bodyguards or something. .

Then Shenyuanyi had time to look at the surrounding environment. Most of the surrounding areas were covered with greenery. There were very few houses. It seemed far away from the urban area, but the scenery was pretty good.

After Shen Yuanyi and Gen Nayin got off the car, a man, a woman and an old man standing at the door of the house came over. Gen Nayin went over to say hello. Those people were her parents and grandfather.

The middle-aged man who looked like a successful man came over and smiled kindly: "My name is Minamoto Eiji, this is my wife Minamoto Misora, and this is my father Minamoto Masaki."

"As for my beloved daughter, Minamoto, I believe you already know her. Refreshments have been prepared in the house. Please come in and talk in detail."

Shenyuanyi bowed politely and introduced himself. He had never been too lazy to do that kind of ninety-degree courtesy. Maybe there was also the influence of Gojo Satoru in this aspect?
After they entered the gate, they realized that this antique courtyard was actually very large, and the atmosphere was a bit tense now. If you look closely, you could see many people in black suits patrolling around.

After passing through many gates, several people came to a room where there was a tea table with steaming hot tea brewed on it.

As soon as Sugihara Zi opened the door, only Shenyuan Yi and the four members of this family were in the room. Minamoto Eiji spoke first: "First of all, thank you for your support. Let me tell you about the situation at home first." Shenyuan He picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. He happened to be a little tired from talking in the car, so he said smoothly: "You can just call me Yuanyi."

Minamoto Eiji nodded and continued: "Actually, I know something about the so-called magic world. My family is a branch of the Settsu Genji family. Only in the past two generations has the family made some progress in business."

"As the level increased, I began to hear some vague things. In addition to the ancient books at home that no one cared about, I didn't expect that my daughter would awaken this talent early. As a father, I have some Incompetent."

Minamoto Eiji's expression suddenly became serious: "When Nain came back to visit his grandfather a few days ago, he encountered those things, and according to clues, it seems that someone is controlling them."

"Fortunately, the invisible foreign object was injured by Nayin. Only then did we discover Nayin's anomaly. My father was familiar with the ancient books at home. Only then did we realize that after so many generations, Nayin had become... a curse. Magician."

"After that, I found many channels, invited a professional, and then contacted people in the magic world through my family connections. I also asked Yuan Yijun to solve the person hiding in the dark. The Yuan family would be very grateful and would definitely There will be great rewards.”

Shenyuan said calmly: "Mr. Yuan, you're welcome. This is my mission this time. I have a question, please answer it, Mr. Yuan."

"That person with evil intentions, whom we call the Curse Master, why did he target you? Is it for money?"

Yuan Zhenghui on the side said: "Let me tell you, the target of that curse master is a treasure passed down by my family, a famous sword - Doji Kiriyanzuna."

When Shenyuan heard this question mark on his face: "Old sir, if I remember correctly, this ancient relic seems to be collected in a museum, right?"

Yuan Zhenghui put his hands on his legs, not as if he was joking, and then said: "It's not that handle, but the Doji Kiri in the history of the magic world. It is said that the ancestor of the Yuan family killed the famous great demon Shuten Doji. Things used.”

"It has always been enshrined here, in the ancestral home of our branch. I used to think it was just a legend until..."

Unable to hold on any longer, Gennain finally raised her hand and interrupted: "I used that knife to chop that... um... cursed spirit! Then it ran away."

Nayin's mother showed a look of blame and worry, while his grandfather showed a kind smile. It can be seen that Nayin is very much loved by the family.

"Curse equipment."

Shenyuan came to the conclusion in his mind that it seemed that a curse master was planning to use someone else's ancestral curse tool, and what he was more concerned about was the "wine swallowing boy" that the old man called.

Horrible existences like these from myths and legends or urban rumors are called "imaginary ghosts" when they appear as curses, and because people's fear of them is accurate and real, they are often very powerful.

Many of the special-level curse spirits recorded or controlled by high-level magicians are of this type, which are called "super-level imaginary ghosts".

Could it be that there was once an imaginary wraith called Shuten-dōji, or was there a curse that caused people to be called Shuten-dōji?
But there was another thing at the moment. Shenyuan opened his mouth and said: "In addition to the problem of the curse master, there is another thing I came here this time. In addition to the natural spells, the curse master also needs to inherit and learn. .”

"First let me introduce you - Tokyo Conjuring High School."

In a formulaic tone, he explained the existence of the high school to them in detail, and vaguely mentioned Teacher Gojo Satoru and the reason why he came here.

Minamoto Eiji and others looked thoughtful, while Minamoto Naon was even more eager to try. She was looking forward to a school that taught "superpowers". In the past, this kind of scene could only appear in film and television works or fantasy, but she didn't expect it to happen. One day it can be realized.

After Shenyuan finished speaking, he stood up: "You can consider your decision on whether to enroll in school slowly. Now, can you take me to see the place where the attack occurred? I want to see if I can get any clues."

Minamoto Eiji nodded: "Of course, then...Father, you take Genichi-kun and Nain to see where it is, and Misora ​​and I will arrange those things."

Yuan Zhenghui nodded and stood up: "Come with me."

After the old man went out, he waved off the bodyguards who followed him, and only asked Sugihara Zi to follow them, and then all the way to an old wooden house.

The old man took out a key and opened the heavy door. Apart from a large number of wooden shelves and ancient books on them, there were only some well-maintained armors full of historical traces.

There is a long table in the middle of the room, and an ancient sword in a sheath is placed on the shelf above.

Shenyuan Yi took Bai Lang around the house, and could still see some bookshelves that had fallen to the ground and signs of damage. The books had been put away, but other traces were not damaged.

The damaged window has not been touched, almost maintaining the original scene of the crime. Fortunately, it has not been too long, and the remaining cursed filth in the house can still be distinguished.

Bai Lang was asked to remember the two magical auras in the room, one of which should be that of Gennain. If the remaining aura could meet the real owner, Bai Lang would be able to identify it.

Gen Nayin on the side asked curiously: "How is it? Did you find anything?"

As soon as Shenyuan stood up: "A little bit, the enemy shouldn't be strong, probably around level two, and it's a remote-controlled shikigami. He ran away after being injured by you. It seems he doesn't want to reveal his whereabouts."

"This knife..."

Shenyuan looked at the ancient knife on the wooden table thoughtfully, and suddenly an old hand took it off. Shenyuan raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhenghui.

The old man smiled and said: "This is the boy cutter. Nayin used it to kill the invisible enemy that day."

Gennain whispered from the side: "That thing looks like an enlarged strange fish, very ugly..."

Shen Yuanyi remembered this information in his heart, and then looked at the ancient sword handed over by Yuan Zhenghui - Doji Kiri.
