Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 381 Spread
"Noose..."

This man, who was once known as the 'worst curse master' and is also a dangerous existence who has lived for thousands of years, cannot be ignored by those who are good at curses, especially since he comes at such a special moment, making it even more difficult to figure out his intentions.

"Everyone, let's talk?!"

Seeing that the noose looked so familiar and unconscious, Ye Moth Zhengdao from Zhu Gao's side stood up and said in a deep voice.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me. You came here so arrogantly, so you must be ready to be killed, right?"

Nozomu still looked very relaxed, not at all conscious of having come to the sorcerers' base alone, and he didn't care at all about the hostility that was coming towards him.

"Oh... I thought you would care about his secret, but I didn't expect you to be so indifferent. It seems that the so-called companions are nothing more than this."

"Who is that he you are talking about?!"

The trick of playing hard to get with a noose was very crude and simple, but even so, Ye Mo Zheng Dao and the others were willing to fall into this trap, because it seemed unnecessary to explain that there was no other candidate for the "he" mentioned by the former.

But... would this guy Koso be so kind as to come around and tell them the information about Genichi?
As if he had seen through what Ye Mo Zheng Dao and the others were thinking, Xu Suo continued, "You don't have to make any more useless guesses. I will tell you my purpose directly. It's very simple. I just want to tell you everything about his past. As an eyewitness, this information is of great value whether it is true or false.

As for why... it's also very simple. I just want to see, after you know everything, can you still regard him as your companion?"

With his undisguised malice and straightforward purpose, it was clear that Luosuo wanted to tell them everything about the past in detail, and then wait and see whether they would turn against Shenyuan. He was sure of Zhugao's weakness.

That's right, no matter what Zhu Gao thinks, he will probably agree to Nosuo's proposal in the end, and this is indeed the case. Even though Ye Mo Zhengdao and his men have done the horrifying thing of capturing the Imperial Palace, to be honest, they are more suspicious of what is going on, rather than directly regarding him as an enemy.

Of course, there is also the reason that the sorcerers are not very interested in the imperial power, but more importantly, they trust Shen Yuanyi as a companion. At present, Nozomi is trying to use the secret of Shen Yuanyi as a bet to try to destroy this connection between them...

"This body of mine is just an ordinary person without any spells. You don't have to worry about me doing anything. Of course, there is no point in killing this body either. So, make your choice."

The result is naturally needless to say. After a brief discussion, Zhu Gao decided to agree to Zuo Suo's proposal. After all, it was almost impossible to obtain more detailed information about Shen Yuanyi in the Imperial Palace at this moment.

And they were eager to find out what had happened. Gojo Satoru strangely went straight back to the Gojo family. They had originally wanted to find him to find out what happened no matter what, but now that there was a noose delivered to their door, there was no rush to listen to him first. As he said, even a lie has its value.

"That's a...very long story..."

----

The fall of the Imperial Palace, coupled with the previous inexplicable assassinations of some of Japan's high-ranking officials and the fall of Tsushima City, immediately dragged Japan into the forefront of a storm that could not be ignored internationally.

Coupled with the short videos on the Internet with confusing perspectives, which looked more like disaster scenes from movies, all kinds of theories were rampant for a while. Among them, the most eye-catching and hotly discussed theory was naturally that the culprit of all this was an extremely dangerous existence among those so-called sorcerers.

And it is very likely that it is the previously popular rumor, the terrifying existence that is immortal and has lived for thousands of years!
What people like to hear most are rumors that sound unusual. It would be even better if they can have some fantasy elements. Something called imagination will add flesh and blood to those rumors and turn them into widely spread stories.

This is probably the case now. Moreover, for those onlookers, what does the disaster in Japan have to do with them? To put it another way, these seemingly horrific disasters do not actually have as much impact on ordinary people as imagined.

Did the destruction of the Imperial Palace affect their lives? How many people were affected by the large-scale assassination of high-ranking figures? Even when Tsushima City fell, those curse masters were actually too lazy to kill ordinary people, because they were also afraid of the god who appeared in the world.

In addition, Japan has its own national conditions, and it is good enough that it does not cheer for the deaths of those big figures. Therefore, in a larger discussion, the disaster that occurred in the Imperial Palace actually appeared in the form of entertainment news.

Of course, this is the situation among the people who are not concerned. The official announcement naturally defines them as terrorists, even though they have already learned certain information. It is this information that has caused them to fall into an inexplicable panic.

An idea inevitably arose in the minds of many bigwigs: If... if that person wanted to attack them and seize the power to rule this land, what else could they do?

The answer is sad: there is no way.

To ordinary people, spells are no different from so-called magic and superpowers, especially the top ones, which can be called miracles. If such people want to threaten some individuals among humans, it is very easy. If there is no help from the spellcasters on the same side, a spell spirit is enough to kill them from bizarre reasons such as heart paralysis. This is also the fundamental reason why Neon spellcasters can have such a status and the country has a very high degree of involvement of spellcasters from the political level to the economy.

The place is too small and there are few people, so the sorcerers' hands and feet are enough to control most of the lifelines. And now, it seems that there is a top-notch existence among the sorcerers, who is taking some terrifying actions.

However, they still only dared to use vague terms without specifying certain groups or individuals in the news, and frantically sent letters to the top leaders of the magic world to inquire, but their responses always fell on deaf ears or they received answers that were almost the same as "yes" or "no".

In fact, this attitude probably explains something, but it is precisely this that makes people even more desperate!

The high degree of integration between Neon sorcerers and high-level officials has led to the fact that they all have more or less knowledge of sorcery. Some of them are even descendants of sorcery families and are specifically responsible for managing their status in the world.

Therefore, they are very secretive about the existence of the person who captured the Imperial Palace and may be closely related to the unrest in several other places. As long as the other party has not splashed the blood on the sword in their faces, they will pretend to be ostriches and not reveal its existence first.

Capturing the Imperial Palace, assassinating some high-ranking officials, or even occupying a city, if it were a powerful person somewhere else, he would probably have been furious and tried to dispatch the army to eliminate those rebellious individuals.

Let’s not talk about whether Neon has an army or not. Even if it does, they will not choose this dead end. Let alone an army of ordinary people, even a team of elite magicians cannot be that person’s opponent.

The only ones who can deal with top-level sorcerers are top-level beings related to sorcery, such as Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, Kuruki Kujuku, Yuta Otsutsuka... Then they sadly discovered that these people seemed to be related to that being.

If we assume the most pessimistic and worst-case scenario, and if these top magicians collectively raise the banner of rebellion, then it seems that they have no choice but to kneel down and praise the former's honorable name, and then give up everything and allow them to do whatever they want with the country.

Fortunately, the head of the Gojo family and several other people did not seem to be involved in this matter. Gojo Satoru and Otsutsukoshi Yuta went to deal with the curse masters in Tsushima City. Suguru Geto had already caught some clues about the people who assassinated those nobles, and when he received some suggestive inquiries, he also showed normal reactions that could only be disguised by top-notch acting skills.

Jiujiu Yuki is a possibility, but the mission she is carrying out excludes the possibility of her participation, so now there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that there is only one "rebellious" sorcerer, and the others are ancient sorcerers who have been reborn in flesh. The bad news is... that sorcerer might be a little too strong, and he might be the kind of sorcerer who can dominate most of the sorcerer world.

……

"So, what's going on? You're hiding here, and the entrance to your house is almost blocked, right?"

Geto Suguru's face looked very ugly already. He stared at Gojo Satoru with some impatience as the latter was fiddling with expensive famous teas and tea sets made by masters in front of him.

After learning about the Imperial Palace, Geto Suguru didn't bother to deal with the clues he had just found, and used the Shikigami to quickly rush to the Gojo family. After completing the task, Gojo Satoru, who hid at home, made him realize that there must be something unusual, so he rushed to question him.

Not only did he want to clarify the doubts in his heart, but the people above him also asked him to ask Gojo Satoru, who was hiding and refusing to see anyone or answer any questions, to at least find out part of the truth.

Facing the questioning from Geto Suguru, his best friend, Gojo Satoru poured the emerald green tea into the porcelain cup, and then, amidst his almost uncontrollable anxiety, he finally spoke slowly.

"It's all true."

"What's true?"

"It was indeed he who destroyed the Imperial Palace. Next he will destroy order and become an enemy of all of us."

Xia Youjie frowned and asked after a while, "Why? He is the creator of all this. If he wants, these things are at his fingertips. Why does he do this?"

Gojo Satoru raised his eyelids, and his six eyes, which had been bright, revealed their full appearance. In them, there was a kind of determination that grew again after the exhaustion and was even more indestructible.

"Because time is running out, Jie, the rumor is not false, at least in the eyes of most people, and Genichi has seen that kind of future, so he decided to use this opportunity to destroy the corrupt order of the past, so that new fruits can be planted in the turned-up soil."
