The bearer of ghosts and gods who return the spell

"Okay, since Souma-kun is here, let's come together. This is a first-level mission, and it is not something to be taken lightly."

First level mission?

Souma Josuke frowned. Although Nanami Kento himself was a first-level conjurer, Hirohito Kozune was still a fledgling novice.

Is it a bit too hasty to directly take him on a mission of this level, or is this what Gojo Satoru meant?

He dragged his cheeks while thinking, as if he had completely forgotten how long it took him to be promoted to a first-level conjurer that would take others half a lifetime.

Following the faint scent of the curse, the three of them walked up the red carpeted stairs to the screening room.

There were still blood stains left at the scene that had not been cleaned up in time, and they melted into the carpet, making it look even brighter red.

The victim in the front seat had been recovered by Window personnel and sent to the home for inspection.

Souma Josuke and others had also seen the photos before they came in. They were simply too horrible to look at.

Judging from the appearance, the three victims no longer belong to the category of human beings.

Although the true identity of the victim can still be known from the clothing and accessories, it is more convincing for them to say that it is a curse spirit.

"Can you see it? This is the remnant of the spell."

Nanami Kento pointed to the exit of the movie theater and said calmly.

Of course, this was not what he said to Souma Josuke. Among the three, only Hisato Hisahito could not feel the breath of the curse before seeing the residual power of the curse.

"When you use a spell, you will leave traces. This is the residual power of the spell. It is the same as how we can see the magic spirit. You can see it if you look carefully."

"At least you have to feel the breath before seeing it to be able to stand alone."

Just like before, Nanami Kento was mercilessly guiding Hisato Kizuna.

Souma Josuke listened to these words and silently followed the two of them.

He couldn't help but think of the scenes when they performed missions together in the past, and unconsciously showed a faint smile.

"Souuma-kun, we are on a mission now, please don't get distracted and don't show that expression."

Nanami Kento, who was walking in front, turned his head at some point. His eyes fell on Soma Josuke's face, and there was an indescribable calmness.

"Yes, Nanami-senpai!"

Hearing the word "senpai", Hisato Hirohito relaxed a little and joked: "It turns out that Souma-senpai is just a junior in front of Nanami-senpai."

That's right, although Soma Josuke has become a first-class conjurer at the same level, he always considers himself a junior in front of Nanami Kento.

"So, Souma-kun, are you going to take action on this mission?"

As if he understood what Nanami Kento meant, Soma Josuke quickly answered:

"Ah, I was listening to what you just said. This is your task and a test on Japanese knotweed. I won't join in the fun."

This answer was not unexpected, and the fact that he would ask such a question only heightened the tension of Knotweed Hisahito.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Nanami Kento felt that Kizune Hisuhito had shown a sense of relaxation ever since he met Souma Josuke.

It's a bit like the younger generation's dependence on the older generation, just like myself and Haiyuan back then...

I don't know how many years have passed, but it was extremely rare for him to get distracted during a mission.

It wasn't until he reached the top floor of the building that he focused again on the vanished remnants of the spell.

Nanami Kento smiled to himself. He just pointed out Souma-kun's problem, but he didn't expect that he had made the same mistake.

"It's here."

"Then let's get to work, Knotweed-san."

After hearing his prompts, Hishito Knotweed noticed the cursed spirit lying in the shadow of the corner and peeking at them from the wall.

Chapter 1 Blessings

On the roof of the cinema, the rain was still pouring down.

The figures of Nanami Kento and Kizuki Hisuhito shuttled through the rain.

The rain wet their clothes, but they didn't care.

As a bystander, Souma Josuke became their rain gear collector and watched the two men's respective battles with interest from under the eaves.

Even though Hirohito wanted to focus on the cursed spirit he was fighting, he couldn't help but listen to Nanami-senpai's words from time to time.

No, I was hit by the curse spirit again without paying attention, and flew far away.

Nanami Kento swung the blunt knife, and the remaining blood stains were sprinkled on the slightly watery ground. They were washed away and dissipated as if nothing had happened.

"Japanese knotweed-kun, you have to concentrate and don't look around during the battle."

"Who's been talking to me!"

Seeing the angry look of Kizuna Hisahito, Souma Josuke almost laughed out loud.

He could immediately tell the level of the magic power of these two magic spirits, and with the strength of Hisuhito Kizuki, he was not worried at all that he would not be able to cope with them.

These are just appetizers.

Although these two cursed spirits also had the scent of the curse that Souma Josuke felt before, they were very weak.

Obviously, they are not the protagonists of this mission. At most, they are just pawns of the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, the second-level curse spirit serves as a pawn...is it a special level again?

Just as Souma Josuke was thinking, the battle came to an end, but Nanami Kento's voice suddenly came, "Wait a minute!"

Not only him, but Hishito the Japanese knotweed who was about to completely eliminate the cursed spirit was also startled, "What's wrong?"

"Calm down and listen to me, those who fight with us..."

"It's human."

The person on the phone told them the answer they least wanted to hear, causing the three people in the room to fall silent for a moment.

"Their brain stems have all been manipulated. By modifying the brain, people become able to use spells."

"After all, we are only in the preliminary development of the relationship between the brain and the power of magic. It is unknown to what extent it can be achieved."

Ieiri Glass paused, "Listen to the Japanese tiger sticks. The cause of their death was shock caused by the modification of their bodies. They were not killed by you. Don't make a mistake about this."

How could there be such a bad technique!

In fact, no matter what the cause of death is, for Knotweed Hisahito, these are not natural deaths that end his life.

The culprit who caused all this is absolutely unforgivable!

This time, even Souma Josuke, who was just passing by, was involved in this incident.

Firstly, he doesn't need to worry about the school's affairs for the time being, and secondly, the technique used by the culprit behind this incident is a bit too dangerous.

He felt that he needed to take care of his junior's first mission.

Qianhai Jianren also expressed support for this.

Regardless of the severity of the spell or the deliberate leaving of clues of the spell's power to guide them to the top floor, it meant that the opponent was powerful.

This is a task that can overturn if you are not careful. One more person means less risk.

The only auxiliary supervisor who knew that Hisato Hirohito was still alive was Ijichi Takayoshi, and he was naturally involved in this mission.

At this time, he was explaining new discoveries.

By summarizing the cases of disappearances or abnormal deaths in the past few days, they have narrowed the general scope to a certain area.

This discovery is not good news.

The remaining spell in the movie theater was meant to guide them.

But these deliberately left clues can also lock the target location.

That only means one thing.

The other party is not afraid of being found at all, and it can even be said that they let them find it on purpose.

This is a challenge to them.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the opponent will set up a trap at the target location and wait for them to take the bait.

From these clues, it is normal to infer that the enemy this time is a curse master who is good at layout.

But Soma Josuke knew that it was probably the work of those organized group of special-level curse spirits.

This speculation made him more determined to participate in this operation.

No matter whether the other party is aiming at Hisuhito Knotweed, or trying to drag him down, he needs to stop it all.

In the combat analysis room, Nanami Kento distributed the plan for this operation.

He himself continues to determine the target's continued location.

Hisuhito Kizune and Takayoshi Ijichi went to investigate the boy Yoshino Junpei who appeared in the movie theater.

Judging from the information, he went to the same school as the first three victims.

Even if he is not a curse master, he is most likely an eyewitness who knows some special news.

As for Souma Josuke, Nanami Kento did not make any assignments.

In his words, he had no right to command a first-level conjurer of the same level as himself.

However, these are just excuses.

After Ijichi Takayoshi and Kozune Hisuhito left, Souma Josuke, who had been silent for a long time, spoke:

"Actually, it's not about locking the approximate location." He pointed to a certain place on the diagram, "The other party is right here."

"Souuma-kun, I really can't hide it from you." Nanami Kento adjusted his glasses, "Things have begun to develop in an overly complicated direction. The current situation is still too early for Knotweed-san."

Sure enough, he was still the same.

In his eyes, a student is just a student and just a child.

"Now that we've found that guy, what are we waiting for?"

Souma Josuke, who was leaning against the wall, stretched and said, "We haven't carried out a mission together for a long time."

Counting the time, there was almost a year between the first meeting and the second cooperation with Hyakki Yakou.
