A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

"Wow, that's amazing."

Xuanhao looked at Nanami Kento's crisp movements in surprise.

The blade of the knife used by this man was wrapped in a circle of things, and it was cut with the back of the knife. It was cut off so easily and evenly.

Just when he was surprised, the evil spirit in front of him rushed towards him.

Xuan Hao came to his senses and backed away to dodge the attack.

"It's not okay to look around." Nanami Kento reminded.

"Who is talking to me?" Xuan Hao curled his lips slightly.

Then, he concentrated on mobilizing the power of the curse into his fists, preparing to punch the curse spirit in front of him.

According to Gojo Satoru, his spell power is very unique and always slows down.

To put it simply, his magic power cannot keep up with his explosive power, and the technique of condensing magic power is also very rudimentary, and it is easy for it to remain on the trajectory.

But that's not a bad thing.

This will instead form an irregular flow of mana, and the mana can only catch up after the enemy realizes that the fist is hit. In other words, one blow will generate two impacts.

Bang--

Xuan Hao's fist that gathered the power of the curse hit the torso of the curse spirit in front of him mercilessly.

The magical impact seemed to be delayed by half a beat, erupting after the physical impact.

A bloody hole was instantly smashed into the curse spirit's body.

"Jingting Fist."

This is the spell fighting technique given to him by Gojo Satoru.

This is not a skill that ordinary people can practice if they want, but it is just suitable for his state of spell power, so it will become a great weapon for him.

Because he has strange powers that are different from ordinary people.

The initial blow contains less magic power, but it is blessed with 120% of the power of an ordinary magician. After a time difference, the real magic power is injected into the attack. The enemy who takes the next attack will definitely be more uncomfortable than expected.

And there is still room for improvement. If 100% physical skills and 100% spell power can be superimposed... it will be an extremely powerful force.

"After all, he is a student brought out by Mr. Gojo, so he is quite capable."

Qihai Jianren watched Xuanhao defeat the curse spirit and nodded in approval.

"But it's not clean enough."

As he spoke, he walked towards the half-dead curse spirit with the knife in hand, preparing to kill him.

However, as soon as he walked in, Nanami Kento suddenly stopped.

Because he saw the curse spirit wearing a watch on his arm.

This is not an object that a curse spirit should wear.

As if he thought of something, Nanami Kento took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera and took a picture.

"No...how could such a thing happen!?"

"What's wrong?" Xuan Hao asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing, just don't kill him yet." Nanami Kento replied.

"Why?" Xuan Hao was even more confused.

"Look at this." Nanami Kento showed him what he had captured on his phone.

"Huh?" Xuan Hao was a little confused.

"It was photographed. Electronic equipment cannot capture things like curse spirits." Nanami Kento explained, "In other words... the one who fought with us just now..."

"It's human."

When the two brought the two "cursed spirits" back to the high school and asked Iaru Glass to dissect them, Iaru Glass quickly gave a definite answer.

"No, it would be more accurate to say that they were originally human beings. Just like the three people in the movie theater, they were cursed to force their bodies to become like this."

"If it was just a transformation, it would have been noticed early in the morning, but the two people fighting us were as powerful as curse spirits." Nanami Kento said solemnly into the phone.

Regarding Nanami Kento's doubts, Ieichi Shoko could only shake his head helplessly: "This question can only be asked what technique the prisoner used. However, there are traces of manipulation on the brain stem, which may be due to a disorder of consciousness... ...In order to create a state of confusion. If the brain can be manipulated, maybe humans can be transformed into a state where they can use magic power. After all, the relationship between the brain and magic power is still as mysterious as the black box."

"By the way, is Xuanhao listening?" At this point, the family member asked.

"Ah, yes." Xuanhao, who was listening to the sound on his mobile phone next to Nanami Kento, replied.

"To put it simply, the cause of their death was shock death caused by body modification. You were not the one who killed them. Don't get me wrong." Iarujia seemed to be comforting Xuanhao. After all, killing curse spirits is not the same as killing humans. They are two different things.

"I know." Xuan Hao replied calmly.

Nanami Kento hung up the phone.

"It doesn't matter to me whether it's a human or a cursed spirit. Isn't this too funny?"

Nanami Kento said calmly, "The purpose of those filth is to lure us in. The opponent should not be underestimated. It seems that there is no way to handle it easily."

With that said, he stood up and walked out of the lounge: "Cheer up."

"Yes!" Xuanhao also cheered up.

············

In a sewer somewhere in the city.

The man covered in sutures was explaining to the boy beside him what a cursed spirit was.

"Some curse spirits are called 'super imaginary ghosts'. They are a collection of curses leaked from human beings. Even if they do not have entities, those terrifying images that remain in the public mind can easily be powerfully The curse appears."

"Does the scary image in the public's impression...refer to famous monsters or ghost stories?" the young man asked, seemingly understanding.

"Yes, like Hanako and the nine-tailed demon fox in the toilet, etc." The man explained calmly, "The conjurer treats them as special-level imaginary ghosts to rank and guard against. The same goes for powerful curses with unknown true identities. Being put into the category of imaginary curses, in short, I feel like that’s all they see. But it’s not those fictional things that people have been afraid of, right?”

The young man thought about it and asked, "...are we really afraid of natural disasters or something like that?"

The man glanced at the young man and smiled: "It's great that I don't build up stress when talking to you."

"No, where..." The young man's face turned slightly red and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

The man continued the previous topic: "The earth, forests, and oceans have always been feared by human beings. They have received excessive magical power, so they gained wisdom before forming their appearance and have been dormant to this day. You are all my proud companions. "

"What's the curse of Mr. Reality?" The young man looked at the man in front of him curiously and asked.

"Human."

The real person smiled and replied, "I am a curse born from the hatred and fear of people."

"'The antonym of liking is indifference.' Has the person who first said this got his retribution and gone to hell? How can it be possible that treating someone with malice is not more serious than not interacting with them?"

The boy looked at the human-turned-object in his hand and asked doubtfully.

"The antonym of "like is dislike". Japanese people probably like this logic very much. They deliberately complicate simple answers and think they are right."

"Everyone likes to play word games. Because humans can't survive without making various excuses." The real person laughed and laughed.

As he spoke, he came to a huge human figure.

"This is this?" The young man looked at the fat giant in front of him in surprise and asked.

"I'm doing an experiment to see how far a person can be expanded." The real person replied thoughtfully, "And the one in your hand is an experiment to see how far a person can be shrunk."

"!" Hearing this, the young man looked at the object in his hand and was slightly startled, "Is this... a human?"

"...Junpei." Masato observed the boy's performance and asked calmly. "Are you used to seeing dead bodies?"

Because the boy was not afraid because the thing in his hand was human.

"How do you say that?"

The boy named Junpei handed the person in his hand to Masato and explained, "If this is my mother, I will lose my mind. I may hate Mr. Masato. But I know the ugliness of human beings. So I don't hug others. "Indifference" is the ultimate human virtue. "

"You say that, but actually you want revenge." The real person seemed to have read through the young man's thoughts and laughed.

"You mean, I hate contradictions?" Junping was a little confused.

"Junpei, do you think people have a 'heart'?" Masato didn't answer, but asked instead.

"Eh...no?" Junping was a little confused.

"No." The real person replied firmly, "People have a 'soul', but that is not a 'heart'."

"Then this...!!" Junpei wanted to say something to retort.

But the real person interrupted his speech and said calmly: "I am the only one in the world who understands the structure of the soul, and I can change the appearance of living things just by touching it. Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are all products of soul metabolism. , calling it the 'heart' plane is too blind. Human beings always think of invisible things too special, but for me who can see, there is nothing special about the meaning of soul and body. It just exists here.”

"You know what? Life has no value or weight."

"Just like water to heaven and earth, life is just reincarnation in between. Like you, I have no meaning and no value."

"So it doesn't matter what you do, you are free to live however you want."

"You can't be bound by this ideal of 'indifference'. You don't need to live a consistent lifestyle. Eat when you're hungry, kill when you hate it. I recognize you and everything you do."

As he spoke, he crushed the person in his hand. Show no mercy.

Junpei looked at the man in front of him. Not only was there no fear, but on the contrary, he was full of yearning.

···········

"We have sorted out the dirty reports submitted by the 'window' regarding the recent missing persons or victims of mysterious deaths."

In the conference room, Nanami Kento pointed at the city map hanging on the blackboard and said to Xuanhao.

"The prisoner's stronghold can be locked to a certain extent."

"Okay! Are you going to attack the enemy camp?" Xuan Hao immediately started gearing up after hearing this.

"No."

Nanami Kento immediately denied it.

"It's only 'to a certain extent'. I will continue to investigate. Xuanhao, you have other jobs. The boy 'Yoshino Junpei' who was also in the movie theater seems to be a classmate of the same high school as the victim. The movie theater is only on the road leading to There are surveillance cameras set up on the road with the big screen. Judging from his behavior, it seems that he is not a curse master, but it would be different if he is related to the victim. "

"Curse Master?" Xuan Hao was a little confused by this new word that suddenly appeared.

"The meaning of the evil magician." Nanami Kento explained concisely and clearly, and then continued, "I have given the detailed arrangements to Ichichi. Please go and investigate Yoshino Junpei."

"receive."

Hearing this, Xuanhao and Yi Jizhi, who was standing by, nodded together.

"Come to think of it, I don't seem to know any assistants other than Mr. Ichichi." Xuanhao looked at Ichichi and complained.

"Because I'm the only one who knows you're still alive, this is natural." Ichichi sighed helplessly, "Okay, let's go."

"Okay."

Xuanhao agreed and walked out the door.

Ijichi waited until Xuanhao left, and before leaving, he turned back and asked Nanami Kento: "It's not 'a certain degree', but you already know, right? The location of the criminal."

"Of course." Nanami Kento answered as a matter of course, "If the criminal wants, he can leave the scene without leaving a trace. And we were invited by the other party. The risk of sneaking in alone and the risk of taking Xuanhao with me, I just chose the former. Because he is still a child."

At this time, Xuanhao, who had already walked out of the door, suddenly pushed the door in and said with a smile: "Nanami teacher, be careful on the road, I forgot to tell you just now."

Nanami Kento glanced at Xuanhao, adjusted his glasses, and thought that he was still a child, and said lightly: "I am not a teaching staff, don't call me teacher."

"Then... Nanami."

"I'll beat you."

·············

"Found it."

Soon, Xuanhao and Ijichi squatted in the car and found their target Yoshino Junpei.

"Huh? He seems to be wearing casual clothes. Isn't it time for class now? Shouldn't he be wearing school uniform?" Xuan Hao asked with some confusion.

"It seems that he hasn't been to school recently." Yidizhi seemed to have investigated the background of this boy and explained.

"Then what should we do?" Xuan Hao asked again.

"Use this."

Yidizhi took out a cage.

"Is this... a cursed spirit!?"

Xuan Hao looked at the things in the cage and was a little surprised.

"'Fly Head' is a low-level curse that is not even level 4." Yidizhi explained, "When we get to a place where no one is, let them attack him."

"Huh!?" Xuan Hao was even more surprised when he heard the plan.

Yidizhi explained the reason for doing so: "In the first case, if he is an ordinary person who can't see the curse, please go and rescue him. In the second case, if he can see the curse but can't deal with it, please save him as well, and then we will ask about the situation on the day of the incident. In the third case... if he uses a spell to solve the cursed spirit, he must be arrested immediately."

"Use force?" Xuan Hao asked.

"Use force." Ijichi nodded affirmatively. "If it is a misjudgment, we will apologize to him later. However... if it is the fourth case, and Yoshino Junpei is a second-level sorcerer or above, we will temporarily retreat and reunite with Mr. Nanami."
