Curse back: With the time ability activated, am I invincible?

The crowd was very reluctant to check into the hotel and set about preparing for the exorcism task.

"The curse here is not strong. It should be just some low-level curse spirits that are harmless to humans."

Xia Youjie walked around the hotel and carefully inspected every corner. In addition to the props arranged by the boss to scare the guests, there were only some low-level curse spirits that were not very harmful to humans.

"Since the boss wants to make money from supernatural phenomena, there is no need to find someone to exorcise these low-level curse spirits. Wouldn't it be more realistic and attract many fools?" Gojo Satoru complained.

"Satoru, cursed spirits are essentially monsters formed by the cursed power leaked out by ordinary people who are not magicians due to fear. If left unchecked, they will sooner or later evolve into a huge disaster. In order to protect ordinary people, these cursed spirits must be nipped in the bud." Xiayou Jie said seriously.

"That's why I said that taking care of the weak is really troublesome." Gojo Satoru was annoyed by Xiayou Jie's constant preaching of these great principles.

"Satoru, the weak survive, and the strong are suppressed and the weak are supported. This is why magicians exist." Xiayou Jie said very firmly.

However, when he said this, there was a moment of hesitation in his eyes. Maybe others didn't notice it, but Lian's eyes were very sensitive to subtle movements and she noticed this detail at a glance.

"Lian, what do you think?" Xiayou Jie changed the subject and threw the question to Lian.

Lian thought for a while and said, "As for me, I don't care. I'm not interested in saving everyone. I just want to save those who are worth saving."

"People who are worth saving..." Xiayou Jie murmured.

At this time, the cursed spirit that Xia Youjie sent to the forest for "cleaning" happened to come back and interrupted the conversation of the three.

"Since the mission is completed, let's go. Since we are here, it's not bad to soak in the hot spring." Lian said, and then the three returned to the hotel together.

Because the hotel was closed for renovation (actually to facilitate the exorcism), the only guests in the hotel were Lian and his party. When the three came back, they happened to meet the hotel owner who was busy dealing with the account book.

"You are back, how is it, have you solved the cursed spirit?" The boss said kindly with a smile on his face.

"Well, it has been solved, just some small cursed spirits. By the way, old man, you actually know the existence of cursed spirits?" Xia Youjie asked in surprise.

The boss's expression did not change, and he was still so amiable. He slowly turned around, stretched out his right hand, and gently pulled open the drawer. As the drawer slowly opened, a stale smell came to his face.

A subtle light flashed in the boss's eyes, and he carefully took out a wooden photo frame from the drawer. This photo frame looks a bit old, covered with traces of time, and looks very simple and elegant.

When the boss took the photo frame in his hand, his movements became extremely gentle, as if he was holding a rare treasure in his hand.

Through the glass of the photo frame, you can see a yellowed photo inside. The edge of the photo has been worn a little, but the overall preservation is still intact. The person in the photo is a young child, and behind the child is the hotel where Lian and them are now.

The boss touched the photo and said, "This hotel was once run by my father. I have lived here since I was a child. After he passed away, this hotel was naturally inherited by me. Over the years, there have been endless incidents of cursed spirits invading, and the sorcerers have come here more than once to perform exorcism work. I have long been accustomed to it."

"Why don't you move away, old man? You should have made a lot of money after so many years of operation, right?" Xia Youjie asked.

The boss shook his head, then smiled and said, "This is where I grew up. It has carried too many memories. I can't bear to move away. I'm old. Instead of moving to a big city, I'd rather enjoy my old age here. It's quiet and peaceful here, and there are young people who come here to explore ghosts from time to time to kill my loneliness. I'm already very satisfied."

"You made those supernatural props yourself!" Gojo Satoru and Lian complained in their hearts at the same time.

After chatting with the boss for a while, the three returned to the living room. Ye Mo Zhengdao had finished his bath and changed into a bathrobe and sat on a chair, holding today's newspaper in his hand.

"Are you three back? Then go take a good bath. I've already taken a bath and it's very good." Ye Mo Zhengdao said.

Then the three of them walked into the bathhouse together,

The interior of the bathhouse is elegantly decorated with soft lighting, making people feel very comfortable and relaxed.

In the spacious and bright bathroom, the hot water nozzles are neatly arranged, the water flow is strong and warm, and the three people enjoy the freshness and comfort brought by the shower.

After taking a bath, they came to the hot spring area. The water in the hot spring pool is clear and steaming, exuding a faint smell of sulfur. The three people stepped into the pool carefully, feeling the warmth and buoyancy of the hot spring water. They slowly immersed themselves in the water, letting their bodies completely relax, as if all the fatigue and stress were washed away.

Lian: "Not bad."

Gojo Satoru: "Yeah, I thought it was a small shabby shop, but I didn't expect the hot spring here to be unexpectedly comfortable."

Xiayou Jie: "I thought the boss would put prank props here, but he didn't."

The three chatted relaxedly, time passed unknowingly, they forgot all their troubles, and only focused on the happy time in front of them.

Suddenly, a puppet head popped out of the water, interrupting the three people's conversation. The sudden scene scared the three people into emojisლ('꒪д꒪')ლ on the spot.

The puppet's head began to twitch constantly, and a small white paper slip came out of its mouth. Lian hurriedly walked forward to tear off the paper slip and spread it in his palm. The three of them looked closely and saw only four eye-catching characters on the paper slip: Thank you for your patronage~

Lian angrily crumpled the paper slip into a ball, and the three of them shouted at the sky at the same time: "That bastard old man!!!"

The bath where Lian and his friends were happened to be next to the girls' bath. The singer and Nishiko who were taking a bath heard Lian's shout and couldn't help but complain: "What an idiot." ×2

The singer told Nishiko about Lian's timely rescue and what she said during the mission in Nara:

"Haha, no need to thank me, after all, I am the strongest. If I can't even protect my companions, I can't be considered the strongest."

"It's very much like his style." Nishiko said with a smile.

"I thought he was a scumbag like Gojo, but I didn't expect him to be a pretty good person." Nishiko said with some surprise.

"I think they are all the same. They are strong, strong enough to break the rules, but they are all kind, so they set constraints on themselves in various ways."

"Jie takes the protection of non-magicians as his philosophy and tries his best to use his abilities in the right way. However, such extreme kindness may be backfired one day."

"Wu seems to be very disgusted with the weak, but when dealing with related tasks, he always throws the problem to Jie. It's not that he doesn't care, but because he knows that Jie will definitely choose the best option for ordinary people."

"Lian is like a combination of Jie and Wu. He has his own view of good and evil. He can always make the most appropriate choice about who deserves to be saved and who doesn't deserve to be saved."

"It seems that the choices of the three people are very different, but there is no doubt that they are more inclined to the 'good' side."

These words were not spoken by Glass. Looking at the singer who was still chattering about the three people in front of her, she silently buried these words in her heart.

After the singer finished talking, Glass said:

"Perhaps it is because they are both 'scumbags' that they can become close friends."

Hearing this, the singer nodded in agreement.
