At this time, Hisato Hiroyuki suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Wait a minute, does this mean that the problem with the automatic door is caused by the curse spirit? But the curse spirit should not be sensed by electronic devices."

Nitta Akira looked at the rearview mirror, "That's true, but this time it seems that the automatic door controller crashed under the influence of a curse."

Automatic door controller?Knotweed Hisahito was confused by this term. Isn't this an electronic device? However, the former obviously had no intention of continuing to explain at this point.

"The time and place of these three incidents don't match up, right? June, August, September, the intervals are so long, are they caused by the same curse spirit?" Fushiguro Megumi also raised his own question.

"This issue cannot be determined for the time being. As Fushiguro-san said, it has been too long and it cannot be completely determined through the remaining spell power. However, after investigation, it was found that the three victims had attended the same junior high school before. .”

Hearing this, Fushiguro Megumi subconsciously looked at the information of the three of them. The junior high school was in... Uramigashi Middle School.

His expression suddenly became a little exciting.

Kugisaki, who was sitting in the passenger seat, thought for a moment and came to her own conclusion: "In other words, could it be that these three people had suffered from the same curse before, and it was not until recently that it broke out?"

"Yes, this possibility is very high, so we are going to that middle school now, and we are also going to ask the common acquaintances of these three people about the situation."

Although he had foreseen the upcoming trip, Fushiguro Megumi's expression was still slightly different from his usual one.

"As an aside, do you think Souma-senpai today is different from usual?" Yoshino Junpei, who had been silent before, looked out the window and suddenly said: "It seems that he is too relieved to carry out our mission. What he said didn’t sound like him.”

Hisuhito stuck his head out, looked over Fushiguro Megumi in the middle, and looked to the other side: "Junpei, why did you suddenly say that? Doesn't this mean that senior is relieved about us? He must have seen us in the previous battle. improvement."

"Speaking of this, I also feel like something is wrong."

"Me too."

Although Nitta Akira didn't speak, she actually felt this way in her heart.

"It seems you are still too slow for Knotweed."

"Huh? No way, Supervisor Nitta doesn't think it's strange, right?"

......

After a lot of twists and turns, the group finally arrived at the junior high school where the three of them were before - Uramidong Middle School.

"Ah - the only clue was cut off just like that, and one more victim was added." Akira Nitta felt quite regretful.

When they went to the acquaintance's house just now, they found that a funeral was being held there. After asking about it, they found out that the person had passed away and died in the same way.

Kugizaki Wild Rose comforted her from the side: "Don't be discouraged. It's almost certain that this incident must be related to this school. There must be clues...ah?"

It was class time now, and the five of them were the only ones on campus, but the two young men squatting in the corner with cow dung hair and puffing away their hair caught her attention immediately.

"I said, there happens to be a group of restless guys over there. I said, don't go to the teacher, just beat them up first and then ask."

Her voice was completely unrestrained and sounded extremely harsh in the quiet corridor.

The two people who were enjoying their afternoon leisure suddenly discovered this group of uninvited guests.

"Hey, where did this yellow-haired girl come from?"

They acted like delinquents, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were delinquents.

"Yellow-haired girl!?"

Nitta Akira, who was not very happy at first, was suddenly aroused. This was one of the words she least wanted to hear, and she couldn't help but seriously consider Kugizaki's suggestion.

But in the blink of an eye, the two bad boys seemed to have seen something devil, their expressions changed from arrogant to respectful and frightened, and they almost stood down in front of them, "You...you have worked hard!"

"Dang~dang~dang~dang~..."

The bell rang at the right time. It seemed that the harmonious scene was being matched with BGM, but it was a little inappropriate.

A big question mark was drawn in everyone's mind at this time. The expression span of the bad guys these days has such a wide range. Are they so sensible?

"I haven't seen you for a long time since graduation, Fushiguro-senpai!"

Hearing a familiar name from a stranger's mouth suddenly made Yuhito Kizune and Rose Kugizaki, who were about to praise their domineering spirit, freeze in place.

The two turned their heads in embarrassment, and Fushiguro Megumi had already turned his head to the side.Hmm... It would be more appropriate to say that he has turned behind him.If there is an anthropology expert here, he must study whether his neck has any special structure.

"I...junior high school...here..."

"Hey, hey, hey, although this is indeed quite surprising, it's not the point!"

As classmates, they felt that they had to take care of Fushiguro Megumi's health.The two of them, who were afraid that he had broken his neck, wholeheartedly helped him correct it, and asked kindly: "What did you do in middle school? Their reaction is not normal."

"It's faster to ask those two people. Hey, idiot A, idiot B, what did this guy do to you?"

"Kugizaki, don't use such strange questions..." Kugizaki Yuhito helped him rub his cheeks that were slightly red from being pinched by Kugizaki Wild Rose in a friendly manner, and also covered his mouth at the same time. .

"Ah, it's not so much us, it's probably all the bad boys and gangsters around here who have been beaten up more than once by Fushiguro-senpai."

"Well... indeed... I beat him..."

Fushiguro Megumi's neck turned again, and even the powerful Japanese knotweed Hisahito couldn't correct it.

"Look here!" Kugizaki Wild Rose, who had already let go, once again paid attention to Fushiguro Megumi's face, "Why do you keep saying words from just now?"

"What the hell are you doing in junior high school!"

The noise here quickly attracted teachers from the school, "Hey, you guys, students from other schools can't just come in."

"Ah, I'm sorry, we have a school admission permit." Nitta Akira stepped forward and showed his ID. After looking around at a few people, the teacher, who looked a bit older, focused his attention on Fushiguro Megumi, who had a sideways face.

"Is it Fushiguro-san?"

Chapter 161 Crossing the other shore

Although it had been more than half a year since he graduated from junior high school, everyone was surprised that he could be recognized at a glance and called by name. Communication problems naturally fell on Fushiguro Megumi.

This teacher has worked in this school for half his life and even has a good impression of the four victims who have graduated 20 years ago.

Of course, they are not remembered just because they are all troubled teenagers.

"Dark rumors...ah, that's it, the curse of the 88th Bridge."

The cow-dung-headed boy who was listening to everyone's conversation suddenly interrupted, and everyone's eyes focused on him.

88 Bridge, a famous supernatural place nearby, is said to be a holy place for suicide.

Bungy jumping from the 88 Bridge late at night is one of the most popular ways to test your courage among delinquents.It is said that if you want to prove that you are a bad boy, you must pass this test.

But it is no longer popular, but many people tried it in the previous generation.

The four victims had also been to that place and were unconscious there for a whole day before being found by their school and family members.Afterwards, these people completely forgot what happened before, and their memories only stayed on the previous day.But because they were all delinquents, they were considered to be dishonest, and they only gave them an education but no further follow-up.

This is a major discovery. It just so happens that these four people were absent from class together, and strange things happened. No matter how you look at it, there is something wrong.

"It should be right there."

Supernatural places, like places like schools and hospitals, are prone to curses, so senior professionals will regularly send spellcasters to survey the sites.

The most recent time happened to be Fushiguro Megumi, probably in April or May of this year. The period after the start of school is the peak period of the supernatural birth curse near the school. Generally, as long as this period of time passes, there will be no The curse was born, but the first incident occurred in June, which was very strange.

------

Lizhiguchi Canyon, 88 Bridge, midnight.

"As soon as you find the curse spirit, please contact me to put down your 'tent'."

The next work is the business scope of the magician, and the auxiliary supervisor needs to be outside the scope of the magic spirit to avoid being accidentally injured.

Since it was cursed because of bungee jumping, it is very likely that it is a curse spirit born from fear of heights, or a curse spirit born from accidental death due to bungee jumping. Of course, the most likely thing is that it is the survival of people who committed suicide here before. The curse.

Therefore, they also chose the most suitable way-bungee jumping.

Generally speaking, imitating the behavior of the victim should be the easiest way to attract the curse spirit, but reality slaps them hard in the face.

Several people worked all night, trying all the jumping spots on the entire bridge, but the curse spirit still did not appear.

Just when they were at a loss what to do, the cow dung-headed boy they saw yesterday appeared in front of several people again, along with his sister - a person who was cursed by the 88 Bridge and is still alive.

“My family runs a specialty shop, and the automatic door of our house will always be open when I go home. Although my parents say it sometimes happens, I know that there is definitely something invisible waiting for me there. "

Everyone present could see her thin body trembling involuntarily, "I was very scared. At this time, I heard about Fushiguro-san and the 88 Bridge, so..."

Nitta Akira suddenly asked: "Excuse me, when did this situation occur?"

For the previous victim, it took at least two weeks from the time she discovered this situation to her death, so if necessary, she could not be allowed to pass through that door again.

"It was about a week ago, and it happens every other day."

After hearing her answer, everyone felt relieved.

Nitta Akira cleverly dismissed this incident as a supernatural investigation. If this incident spread, it would cause unnecessary panic. After all, there should be many people who have visited this place.

After asking some more questions, she was ready to send the two of them off 88 Bridge.At this time, the girl suddenly spoke:

"By the way, Fushiguro, your sister Tsumiki has also been to this place with me before. If it's for research, you can also ask her."

"That's it. I'll call you later and ask."

After they left, Fushiguro Megumi could no longer hide her panic. Fushiguro Megumi had also been to this place before, which meant that her coma might have something to do with the curse here, but others did not. That kind of curse mark...

This was the first time he had shown such a panicked expression in front of others.

"Fushiguro, cheer up..."

Hishito Kizune grabbed his shoulder and shook him slightly, trying to get him to come out of his previous emotions. He had just learned that Fushiguro Megumi had a sister, and suddenly heard such news, which made everyone else... Somewhat overwhelmed.

Fushiguro Megumi just raised his head and glanced at him, then quickly looked away, but those beautiful eyes also lost their original luster at this time. After a moment of silence, he said: "I'm fine...I'm sorry, I'm going to make a phone call."

Coming into the shadows in the corner, Fushiguro Megumi's voice sounded intermittently.

"Hey, Supervisor Ijichi, I have something to ask you..."

"I already know the situation, but the only ones available now are level two conjurers."

"Level [-]... Where is Souma-senpai?" Fushiguro Megumi had just finished speaking, and he already knew the answer in his mind. Supervisor Nitta had already mentioned it before.

"Due to Mr. Gojo, Souma-kun has been unable to be dispatched, and he has not been at the Magic College since yesterday."

Not here?Although Megumi Fushiguro finds it strange, now is not the time to dwell on this.

"Miss Tsumeki, I will send a magician there. The key is your side. If the number of people cursed far exceeds our expectations, the level of this curse may exceed level two."

"The reason why this mission is given to you may be because the strength of Mr. Hisahito Kizunagi has been greatly improved. There is also the previous Shirakami Mountain Road incident. The subsequent handling of the incident is very serious, involving many aspects, and it can also be obtained from the side. beyond the scale of that battle."

"But after all, it is a mission carried out with Soma-san. If the danger level this time increases further, I think it will still be too difficult to rely on the second-level magician alone, so... Fushiguro-san, I suggest you Let’s withdraw temporarily…”

Fushiguro Megumi hung up the phone without saying a word. He was now very confused whether he should return to the Magic Academy immediately and personally defend Tsumiki.

But once you do this, you will have to let Huzhang and the others perform this task alone...
