Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 77 Semi-field exploration
"where are you?"

Shingenichi, who rushed to the 88 Bridge under the cover of night, dialed Fushiguro Megumi's phone. It took a while before the call was answered, but the voice that rang was the voice of Hirohito Kizunagi.

"Senior? We were on the side of this road. When we were dealing with the cursed spirit, Fushiguro used 'Field Expansion', and then he seemed to have lost his strength and passed out..."

After getting the location of their location, Shenyuan rushed there and saw the three of them on the roadside.

When he arrived here, Fushiguro Megumi seemed to have just woken up, and then Shenyuan walked over at the greeting of the knotweed.

"It seems you have solved the curse?"

Fushiguro Megumi threw the thing he was holding tightly when he was unconscious to Kamogenichi. The latter took it and saw that it was a dry finger that was continuously exuding magic power.

Finger of Su Nuo
Shenyuan stretched out his hand to pull him up, and also used the reversal technique to treat Hui: "So out of power? Even Yuanlu can't be summoned."

Afterwards, he also treated the two little ones who came over obediently. Fushiguro Megumi moved his body a little, with a relaxed look on his face: "It's similar to the curse spirit in the juvenile hall, but it's stronger than the former."

"Originally, it should have been reported to someone else to handle it, but as you know... Tsumeki has been to the 88th Bridge... Fortunately, she finally used the incomplete field expansion to exorcise the cursed spirit."

Shenyuan nodded and understood, which was why he came as soon as possible. Although rationally Fushiguro Megumi could wait for him to handle it, the reality was that how could he wait.

Fushiguro Megumi just wanted to solve this curse earlier so that Tsumeki could escape from this danger earlier.

While waiting for auxiliary supervisor Akira Nitta to come over, Fushiguro Megumi and Kangenichi were obviously much more relaxed after solving the 88 Bridge curse.

Shenyuan immediately interviewed Fushiguro Megumi about his feelings about the expansion of the field, and the latter seemed to be thinking about his words after recalling it.

"How should I put it? At that time, I didn't think too much. I just had the idea that I would rather fight for once than die here, and then... it felt like I was integrated with the surrounding environment."

"It consumes a lot of magic power when unfolding, but even in an incomplete field, I can feel extremely relaxed when performing spells in it, and it is much easier to control the shikigami..."

As soon as Shenyuan sighed, the feeling of his own domain was just a little bit worse. The rain of time as an attempt to construct a domain has reached a certain level.

But every time he tried to expand the field, he failed halfway. Unexpectedly, Huidu came into contact with this aspect before himself.

Do you want to be like Megumi, first create a prototype of the field, and then figure out how to improve it?
Shenyuan Yi, who had just come up with this idea, quickly made a judgment on its possibility and concluded that the final result of the eighth achievement was an advanced version of 'Shigure', which did not seem to have much significance.

Domain expansion, as the pinnacle of spell warfare, is related to the spells and hearts of the spellcasters, so different spellcasters have different domain expansions even if they use the same spell.

Most of them are some kind of extension of its spells. The most common ones are the effects that the spells in the field must hit, and the changes in the environment in the field bring bonuses to the spells.

For example, when Kei's 'Chimeric Dark Shadow Garden' is not fully formed, in that environment paved with shadows, his technique can be used very effortlessly.

According to his description, he even easily completed the fusion of three shikigami, and it was not a simple fusion like adding a rabbit, but the three of them, Orochi, Hun, and Nue, completed the expansion of the technique.

But there are also abnormal areas, such as Gojo-sensei. His "Infinite Space" does not strengthen his Cang or He, but drags the opponent into the "inside" with no lower limit, forcing the opponent to accept the "infinite" Information thus causing him to 'go down'.

This kind of field is closer to the essence of magic. Of course, this is just a matter of choice. The strength of the field still depends on various factors.

"Does it mean that I need 'a little' pressure? But even if I have a real battle with Teacher Gojo, I can't really have the intention to kill."

"There is still a fundamental difference between this and a real battle that is only about life and death. Is this the difference? I don't know... Forget it, let's solve the immediate matter first."

What interrupted Shenyuan's thoughts was the arrival of Akira Nitta. After discovering that the curse here might be beyond the scope of the mission, they had already planned to retreat and wait for a higher-level magician to solve it.

Unexpectedly, Fushiguro Megumi would use an excuse to run away and plan to solve the curse of the 88th Bridge by himself. However, Kugawei and Kugisaki noticed the former's intention and ran to help.

So only Akira Nitta was 'abandoned'. After she found that there was no one in the hotel, and no one answered her phone calls, she started looking for someone.

At first she thought that the two of them were looking for Fushiguro Megumi, an old classmate, but when she found Fushiguro Megumi’s classmate, she found that none of the three were here.

She even thought about Bridge 88, but several people had tried various methods before and found no abnormalities there, so the possibility here was temporarily put aside.

As a result, after receiving the news that they had removed the curse, she was completely confused. Didn't it mean that the danger of the mission had increased and they could not solve it?

Why did the three of you run away and take this risk? Fortunately, the exorcism was successful. What if something unexpected happened?

Arriving at the scene, Nitta Akira hadn't even begun to scold these three disobedient brats. She immediately saw Shenyuan Yi standing there.

"Mr. Shenyuanyi! Why are you here? This curse is..."

Shenyuan waved his hand: "No, they solved the curse here, and I just arrived."

Before Nitta Akira could think about it, Shenyuan Yi handed her something. Under the cover of night, she didn't notice what it was at first, but when she got it, she felt that the touch was wrong. When she lowered her head, she saw that it was not a special curse. , Su Nuo’s finger?
Is the curse of Bridge 88 a special curse?

Nitta Akira, who came up with this idea, didn't know whether to be angry at them for breaking away from the action to confront the special curse spirit, or to praise them for being able to exorcise it and all three of them were still alive.

But soon she was pulled back by Shenyuan Yi's shaking hand. After completing the simple sealing work on her fingers, she didn't know what to say for a moment, and then drove back to the high school at Shenyuan Yi's greeting. .

……

"Please come in."

After knocking on the door and getting a response from inside, Shenyuan opened the door and walked in. This was a cool-toned room with no common decorations, tables, chairs, etc. inside.

Most of them were cold instruments, with a few single beds common in hospitals in the middle. There were various glass jars on a row of shelves against the wall, with different weird things inside. "Teacher Gojo, Miss Glass."

At this time, it was Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko who were in the room, of course, if you don't count the strange beings lying on the two beds.

One of these two monsters was the one Shenyuan Yi dealt with. The effect of 'Amber' had not ended yet, but he was already lying there motionless and seemed to have given up resistance.

"Satoru, your good student is back."

Gojo Satoru smiled and said hello: "Genichi, you are back. Well, I really caught a strange curse during my trip this time. When I brought it back, I found that it was almost the same as the one you caught. .”

Looking at the monster that Gojo Satoru brought back that was also motionless but with many cuts on its body, he walked in and looked at it with a dazed look. It was probably because the former's "infinite space" had burned out his brain. .

Sure enough, this was confirmed by the words of Kairi Glass: "The sample brought back by Wu and the one you processed can definitely come from the same source, but this one's brain has been damaged, so I can't ask any questions."

"But yours is different!" Kairi Nishi was very excited to the naked eye: "Genichi, this application of your technique is very interesting. The experiments I did on him will return to their original state in the blink of an eye, except for the lack of time. It’s so long that I can’t study it in depth, but it’s perfect.”

At this point, Shen Yuanyi also understood why this man looked so hopeless and no better than the one next to him who had his brain burned out.

The co-author, Ms. Glass, used the recovery ability of "amber" to do some specific research on him, and finally turned such a curse master who had been wandering in the dark area for an unknown period of time into this.

However, Shenyuan Yi would not have any sympathy for him. He even agreed with Miss Glass: "If you need it, I can also use my magic to help you a little bit on the spot."

Kairi Glass waved his hand: "That's not necessary. You should just do what you need to do. There are still so many curses that you need to solve. Since you just arrived, I'd better tell you what I have discovered so far."

Although these two are monsters, they can still be regarded as "human beings" to a certain extent, but unlike those so-called "reformed people", they also have certain inhuman characteristics.

For example, extraordinary physical all-round qualities, not to mention the obvious abnormalities on the surface.

"As for information, there shouldn't be much to dig out. Number [-] is better, but Number [-] has no useful information at all. Before he became like this, he was an ordinary person, oh yes, he was still a criminal."

Numbers [-] and [-] are the numbers given to these two by Iiriji Glass. The one brought back by Mr. Gojo is number [-], and the sample brought back later by Shenyuan Yi is number [-].

Then Glass went on to say: "Number [-] is a strange person in his memory. According to the intelligence of other personnel, the ordinary person who came into contact with him has been confirmed. Except for the traces of spells on his body, there is nothing." It’s an unusual place.”

"And that 'medicine' is not the medicine we know. From his description, it is actually more like some kind of processed curse, which is the technology you are talking about."

Shenyuanyi's expression was a little solemn: "But the technology of the General Director's Department only selectively fuses cursed objects with people without spells, so there is still the possibility of losing control."

"But he... can use two kinds of spells. Although they are not used at the same time, and one of them is very unskilled, the technology of merging with the magician is beyond the control of the general director."

Gojo Satoru also sat up: "The fusion of cursed objects and spellcasters has a high success rate... This kind of technology..."

"Not!"

Glass interrupted Gojo Satoru's thoughts: "Although I don't know exactly how this is done, the flaws of this technology are still very big. For example, neither of them can live long..."

Perhaps after hearing the question about his own life and death, No. [-], the fusion body solved by Shenyuan Yi, his originally somewhat fuzzy mind suddenly became much clearer.

"You...what did you just say...I'm about to die?"

Looking at No. [-] who was struggling to speak, Ieiriji's expression did not change much. He turned his head and continued to say to Kamin Genichi and Gojo Satoru: "It was Genichi's technique that extended his life a little, and I am afraid that No. [-] will Go to death first."

As if to verify the words of the family, No. [-], who was lying on the bed like a vegetative state, suddenly started to rise and fall, as if he was breathing heavily.

But soon his body began to shrink visibly to the naked eye, and after a few breaths a shriveled corpse was left.

Number [-], who was also watching all this, was stunned for a moment, and then murmured to himself: "You lied to me..."

"Miss Glass, is there anything else you want to study?"

Hearing Shenyuan Yi's words, Iaru Glass held the hair beside his ears and was a little troubled: "The preliminary research in this area has basically been completed. The next step is to use unknown spells on it. This kind of thing cannot be done without information." To understand it next time is to recreate it all over again.”

"But I happen to be not particularly good at this aspect of spells..."

Gojo Satoru mocked at the right time: "You are also here today, Glass... Why don't you come and ask me? I'm very good at spells."

The family member Glass has long been accustomed to Gojo Satoru's lack of tone: "Satoru, don't you still have tasks to deal with? Research is very time-consuming."

Gojo Satoru said with a proud smile: "I am a good student. Besides, it won't take long to solve the task. It's better to figure out this weird thing early so that you can be prepared."

"These curses are really..."

Shenyuanyi could already think of the future arrangements. After being speechless at first, he accepted this. Then he thought about it and thought that if he could meet a strong enough opponent, he could try his hand at the field.

Oh...I forgot to tell Gojo-sensei.

"What, Hui has mastered the field expansion? Oh... it's not a complete field, but it's not bad. Have you encountered any opponents..."

Gojo Satoru looked very happy after learning that Fushiguro Megumi had developed an incomplete domain and that Zui had gotten rid of the special curse spirit spawned by Su Nuo's fingers.

Then he also understood Shenyuan Yi's plan: "You can't sit still after seeing Hui's progress? But it's still a bit difficult to meet a curse that can threaten you. Take your time... Sometimes the domain only needs one The opportunity would be great..."
