The bearer of ghosts and gods who return the spell

If there is a task, it is natural to carry it out. This is something Soma Josuke cannot refuse as long as he is still in the Conjuring High School. He can only put the trial aside for the time being.

Although he lacks the help of two shikigami, as long as he doesn't encounter those few curse spirits that can expand the field, the other curse spirits are basically just delivering food to him.

That afternoon, Souma Josuke and Hiroyuki Kozada took a ride and headed straight for the Shinkansen.

Itachi Kitaka was telling the two of them the overview of this mission:

"Last night, in the kendo gym near Shirakamiyama Road in Aomori Prefecture, the gym owner and his 66 disciples were all killed overnight."

"The only survivor was a woman. According to her confession, a humanoid evil spirit rushed into the dojo that night and started killing everyone without explanation. But for some reason, she was spared."

"Based on the on-site investigation and the injuries of the deceased, it seems that he was a first-level curse master."

Hearing this, Hirohito Kizane suddenly interrupted, "Wait a minute, why can you tell it's a curse master and not a curse spirit based on the wound?"

He didn't want to believe that someone would do such a terrible thing for no reason.

According to the testimony of the woman Ijichi Takayoshi mentioned before, the guy entered the scene and started killing directly. Not to mention why ordinary people would have grudges against the conjurer, even if there was a grudge, it would not be possible for all 67 people to have grudges.

"According to the report, none of the bodies are complete, and the location of their injuries and the cause of death are different, but it can basically be judged to be fist injuries."

"It's very much like... I did it to vent my anger."

"Combined with the fact that the other party did not deliberately erase the traces left at the scene, and the fact that one person was left alive, it is easy to judge that it was the work of a curse master."

"The local garrisoned magician directly released the 'tent' nearby. Judging from the news returned so far, the barrier has not been broken up to now. The other party does not know why he is still staying in the mountain and has not left."

Hearing Ichichi Kitaka's analysis, Souma Josuke suddenly felt troubled by this mission.

Killing 67 people in one night was a terrible incident that was almost as bad as the Xia Youjie massacre incident. It far surpassed all the tasks he had handled before. It was also the first time he had performed a task about the curse master.

"Then the mission requires me to capture the Curse Master alive, or..."

"The High Commissioner's order is based on the situation at the scene. If Souma-kun wants to capture him, there should be no problem."

Itichi Kitaka exchanged glances with Soma Josuke through the rearview mirror and continued:

"But I still hope that Souma-kun won't be too obsessed with capturing the other party alive, so as not to put himself and Kugaweed-san in danger."

Souma Josuke understood the meaning of his words and nodded naturally, "I understand."

The more you learn about this mission, the more you will notice something unusual about it.

Although Hisuhito Knotweed has experienced black flash and his strength has been greatly improved, this is not an ordinary task of exorcising curse spirits.

After the Yoshino Junpei incident, Soma Josuke has learned that his junior is a person who will suffer for the pain of others.

Although Soma Josuke is a first-level magician, in the eyes of others, he is just a 17-year-old high school student, plus Hisato Hisashi.

It is unreasonable to ask two students to carry out the task of killing the curse master. There is a high possibility that someone is behind it.

He suddenly thought of Nanami Kento. If this senior was here, he would definitely use his adult theory again, which was unexpectedly suitable for the current situation.

Judging from this mission alone, sending Souma Josuke alone is the best choice.

As long as it's not a domain-level opponent, he can basically win it directly.

"arrive."

The two got off the bus, and Itachi handed over the two tickets that he had already prepared. He only delivered them here, and the two of them needed to take the Shinkansen themselves for the rest of the journey.

"Sangma-kun, Knotweed-kun, I will only send them here. I hope your mission goes well."

"Supervisor Ichichi, don't you worry about me being here?"

After watching the black car leave, the two of them found a place to sit down in the waiting room. There was still a lot of time before the train departed, so they didn't have to worry at all.

"Huwei, if you don't want to go on this mission..."

Kizuna Hisahito shook his head, interrupted Souma Josuke's words, and said with a smile: "Souuma-senpai, don't worry, if he really is that kind of murderer, I won't let him go."

"Or is it that senior thinks my strength is low and is afraid that I will hold him back?"

Although he could still joke around, Souma Josuke could still feel that he was in a very low mood.

After several days of Kaija's trial, although he has not yet found a way to pass the Kaija's trial, his intuition seems to be much sharper than before.

There was no talking all the way. When the two arrived at their target location in Aomori Prefecture, the sun was almost setting.

This place is full of dense trees, even more than where the Conjuring High School is. The God of Bi even went to the village to show off, and the ground was covered with moss and tangled roots.

Even if the red sun is burning fiercely, it is difficult to convey your enthusiasm. It is really a good place to escape the heat in summer.

But opening a dojo here still makes Soma Josuke a little confused as to whether anyone will really enter the dojo.

"It's getting late, Knotweed, let's get into the mountains as soon as possible."

"Oh hiss!"

The two figures rushed straight towards the mountain road like wild beasts.

It has to be said that Hirohito's speed is faster than before, and even Souma Josuke has to use a lot of magic power to keep up.

They ran at extremely fast speeds, covering a distance that would have taken normal people an hour.

Here, they met one of the "Window" personnel stationed here.

According to his report, the curse master was still in the "account" and had not come out.

The next step was easy. Soma Josuke released a "tent" again, eliminating the original "tent", and the buildings inside appeared one by one.

Unexpectedly, there is a hotel deep in the mountains and forests, which looks quite high-end.

This is also because they did not fully understand the Shirakami Mountain Road before. It is actually a tourist attraction.

Although the annual flow of people is not as large as that in big cities, there are still many tourists who like solitude and quiet come here.

The infrastructure development is also relatively good, so there are people opening gyms around it, and there seems to be more than one gym.

However, due to the serious incident that occurred yesterday, all people nearby have been evacuated.

"The Invincible Kendo Gym...that's right there."

The two of them walked straight towards the building that was cordoned off with yellow and black cordon, but before they even entered the gym, they could feel an extremely unusual aura.

Soma Josuke also finally understood why the high school expert concluded that he did this out of anger. The remaining spell here was full of anger and bloodlust, and could even faintly arouse the anger in his heart.

Knotweed Hisahito was also greatly affected. He was no better than Soma Josuke in that he could not perfectly control and restrain the emotional changes induced by external factors.

"Japanese knotweed, you take a rest first, I'll go in and take a look."

Chapter 139 Chaos

The layout of this kendo gym is different from that of ordinary martial arts gyms.

In the surrounding rooms, the doors and courtyards are open, and most of the interior decorations look like ordinary tea rooms, which are very elegant.

Soma Josuke also saw that there were snacks such as candied melon seeds on the coffee table in the room, but a lot of them were scattered on the ground. They were probably stepped on several times, and they were shriveled and stuck to the floor. superior.

Connected to these rooms is the venue for kendo training located at the center of the entire gym.

The venue is not big, but it can't be said to be small. The kendo protective gear placed around the venue is also particularly conspicuous. Most of them have no signs of wear. I don't know if they are new or have always been like this.

Judging from the entire structure, the design of the gym seems to have been entirely focused on these rooms. Soma Josuke guessed that they were probably used for appreciation and competition.

The crime scene was not tidied up very well. There were black and red marks everywhere, and there were also many footprints left in it. The perpetrator did not wear shoes, so his footprints were extremely conspicuous among the other shoe prints.

It is worth mentioning that these footprints are more in the surrounding rooms, and only a few of them are in the training field.

These footprints are orderly and seem to be some kind of special footwork, with the same pattern of footprints repeating every once in a while.

Judging from the traces left behind, the perpetrator was almost constantly moving forward, breaking open one connected room after another, and killing continuously.

Just as he was surveying the scene, Hishito Knotweed also entered the place. The smell of blood and the tragic traces made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Apart from these, there didn't seem to be much valid information here. The two of them only stayed in this kendo hall for a short time before leaving, because this was not their final destination.

"Next is the Suliu Gym at the back. According to the female survivor's confession, after that guy finished doing this, he went to that place and never came out."

If it's a cursed spirit, it makes sense. Soma Josuke still doesn't understand why the curser stayed where he was and didn't leave.

"Knotweed, be careful next."

"Ok!"

I don't know if he was shocked, but he didn't seem to speak much, and his face looked uglier than before.

The two of them came out of the kendo gym and continued to go up. Soon, a gym that looked much shabbier than the kendo gym slowly revealed its full picture.

Suliu Gym.

The closer you get to this place, the more you can feel the increasingly deepening curse.

Now, Souma Josuke was completely sure that that guy was really inside.

"Tiger stick."

"Sōma-senpai."

The two looked at each other and felt what the other wanted to express from the other's eyes, so they no longer hesitated and stepped into the Suliu Gym.

This gymnasium shows traces of antiquity both in appearance and interior decoration. It is completely unlike the style of this era, but it is exceptionally clean and tidy, and the layout is also very regular, somewhat similar to that of a high school.

Walking in the atrium, you can see the old-fashioned wooden piles distributed regularly, which are full of signs of wear and tear. They look like they have been there for many years, which is completely opposite to the previous kendo hall.

"Stop."

Just as the two were about to continue entering, clear footsteps came from the inner hall.

Before anyone was seen, the sound came first.

A figure slowly appeared in front of the two of them.

He has the same rare short pink hair as Hisato Hisahi, and his eyebrows are lowered. What is most noticeable is his long white eyelashes, which surround a pair of gloomy pink pupils, making him look even more cold and threatening.

He was wearing a crimson dojo uniform and a tight black belt, but he didn't look strong. He looked like a teenager, about the same age as Souma Josuke and the others.

"Go outside, I don't want to fight here."

He approached the two of them step by step, unprepared.

As he slowly approached, Soma Josuke suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood, and then he realized that this guy was wearing a crimson dojo uniform, which was obviously dyed into that color by countless blood.

"you......"

As soon as Hezhi Youren made a sound, the young man suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes. When he looked again, he had already appeared behind the two of them.
