Chapter 13: Rokugan Has Been Killed

The turmoil at the izakaya was just a little relaxation in the busy life, and I still had to go to work the next day.

When Kagura Mio woke up, she found it was already noon.

What's going on? Didn't her alarm go off?

Getting up from the bed, Kagura Mio touched the mobile phone on the bedside table, swiped the screen, and flipped through it casually, only to find that Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru had left her a message.

The unrighteous righteous man: [Satoru and I received the message and went to the mission site. You should have a good rest.]

Satoru: [Are you curious why the alarm didn't go off? ]

Satoru: [Because the great Gojo-san turned off your alarm clock hehe]

Satoru: [Your phone password is as easy to guess as ever hahahaha]

Satoru: [Wait for handsome Gojo-san to come back and play games with me! 】

"······"

Realizing that the two of them wanted her to rest, Kagura Mio held her forehead and sighed softly.

It's not that she didn't know that they were both doing this for her own good, it's just that the feeling was a little subtle.

It seemed that they also noticed that something was wrong with her. But Kagura Mio is not sure whether they think she is unwell or there is something wrong with the technique. If it is the latter, it will be very difficult to deal with...

This is Kagura Mio's biggest secret, and it is the self that she cannot face. Simply put, she didn't feel like she was willing to share this secret with her peers.

And...

Kagura Mio doesn't know what Gojo Satoru would think if he knew.

Would he start to distance himself from her? No, Gojo Satoru wouldn’t.

But would he think she was a monster? Is it just a container, not a human being at all?

If she had to stand in front of him and lose her dignity as a human being, she would rather break up with him.

If one day they were on opposite sides, would he be able to kill her without any scruples?

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru had no idea what Kagura Mio was thinking. They only knew that there was something very wrong with the cursed spirit in front of them.

The two young men who were moving at high speed were now in Osaki City, due north of Sendai.

They decided to start their search from the place where the cursed spirit had been discovered.

On the edge of the city, green parks are one after another. There are arch bridges, woods and lakes visible to the naked eye everywhere, and some even have unknown flowers. The colors are light but extremely beautiful, and it looks like a lush greenery.

But beneath such beautiful scenery lies a hidden crisis.

The vast woods made it difficult for the cursed spirits to hide, but the two teenagers' insight with Six Eyes and the instincts of controlling the cursed spirits made it almost unstoppable for them to deal with this group of cursed spirits. However, they instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Don't I mean to say, there are too many cursed spirits?" Gojo Satoru frowned as he looked at the cursed spirits surging in front of him, "Are Sukuna's fingers so useful? Why don't we just use our fingers to absorb the cursed spirits and give them to you to eat."

Xia Yujie raised his hand slightly. The special-grade cursed spirit Rainbow Dragon, the first-grade cursed spirit Hundred Wars Dragon, and the Fourteen Women were his best weapons. They were killing the cursed spirits in full swing. He himself was having a lot of fun taking an axe and chopping everywhere.

His tone was a little gentle and helpless: "Wu, curse spirits can't be eaten."

Don't treat him as a trash can and feed all kinds of curse spirits into his mouth!

"Besides, isn't this great?" Geto Xiayou chopped off the orange-yellow square cursed spirit in front of him that was twisted and bubbling like a light bulb with an axe, "This way it won't be boring."

Gojo Satoru did not comment on Geto Xiayou's reply, but just curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "Geto, when did you start using an axe? Did you learn from Miss Ming? Are you a smart person? Or do you have a crush on her?" Geto

Xiayou narrowed his eyes slightly, too lazy to pay attention to Gojo Satoru's trash talk: "Satoru, I'm not like you. I'm great."

"A bachelor!"

"······"

Gojo Satoru watched Geto Xiayou's figure instantly leap in front of him. The cursed spirit manipulation technique was enough for him to control a large number of cursed spirits to encircle and suppress them, but the young man in front of him seemed to be in high spirits, and the cursed spirits were cut in half as crisp as thin paper wherever the sharp axe went.

He raised his palm slightly, and the inky black weapon instantly engulfed the huge battlefield. A black shadow attacked from behind, and a cursed spirit with eight legs like an octopus emitting a damp breath attacked from behind him, but Geto Suguru didn't even try to dodge and let the cursed spirit approach -

Rainbow Dragon drilled out from the ground, and ate the cursed spirit in front of it from bottom to top like a yellow bird catching a cicada, and suddenly tore the cursed spirit into two halves.

Geto Xiayou lowered his eyes lazily, looking at Baizhanlong who was gnawing on the fragments of the cursed spirit, and said lazily: "Really... How can a guy of this level be worthy of going on a mission with the three of us? Fortunately, Mio didn't come, otherwise she would definitely be bored."

As soon as he finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes vigilantly and muttered "Oh?"

The young man, who didn't even dodge the sneak attack of the cursed spirit, dodged without hesitation -

the pale blue light flashed from a distance at an extremely fast speed like a nuclear bomb, and the violent cursed power swept through the surrounding cursed spirits like a storm in an instant. Geto Xiayou watched the cursed spirits that rolled in from a distance being sucked into the blue light circle in groups, and everything was swallowed up and torn apart, and no grass grew wherever it went.

The bones and flesh of countless cursed spirits were torn into pieces under the violent distortion of gravity. The purple liquid was rolled into the ball of light and spread to the surroundings along with the ripples of the impact.

Geto Xiayou jumped back without hesitation - he had no bottom line, and it was better not to let such disgusting things as the blood of cursed spirits get on him.

The cursed spirits that surged like a tide were swept up and swallowed by the ball of light, and then at a certain moment they exploded instantly like an asteroid hitting the earth. The cursed spirits were even unable to roar, and turned into ashes at the moment of the explosion.

"······"

The woods suddenly became quiet, and Gojo Satoru jumped down from the tree.

He blew on his fingertips nonchalantly, smiling arrogantly, "Isn't this too fragile? I thought I could play with it for a while longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, his sharp six eyes felt a hint of abnormal fluctuations in cursed energy.

No, not a curser.

The two young men looked at each other and raised their lips with determination, "Don't steal my head. It's mine."

They set off immediately, and their direction

was the end of the forest farther away from Sendai.

-No

, something's wrong.

Kagura Mio closed her eyes tightly, feeling as if she was floating on the sea. Her mind went blank and she felt very uncomfortable, but she just felt that something was wrong.

I’m so sleepy. Really so sleepy.

She knew she was sleeping, but why couldn't she wake up?

No, it was really not right—

the moment the red lines intertwined, blood flowed out from Gojo Satoru’s fair face—

! ! !

Kagura Mio woke up from her dream, and her sorcerer's instinct made her sit up in bed instantly. Her heart was beating so fast that she could even hear her own heartbeat. She was sweating profusely, her hands and feet were cold, and her whole state was very strange, as if something was constantly stimulating her -

such a strong curse!

Kagura Mio's pupils shrank slightly, and she gasped rapidly, then turned over and got out of bed.

After replying to Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, she suddenly felt so sleepy for some reason that she almost fainted, so she simply fell asleep. Unexpectedly, she woke up now.

The overly strong cursed energy forced her to be on high alert. Kagura Mio got out of bed, changed into her high school uniform, and the moment she opened the door, her alertness reached the highest level -

this power was too strange.

It was extremely strong and terrifying, carrying with it a sense of oppression that made one's heart beat faster and one prepare for battle.

Kagura Mio took a deep breath, slowed down her breathing, and walked out of the room cautiously.

It seemed that someone had set up an extremely powerful barrier "tent" in the hotel, but its range was only on the 12th floor where Kagura Mio and the others lived.

It is a very sophisticated barrier technique.

Kagura Mio didn't even need to think to make the judgment.

But this familiar force... Kagura Mio picked up a can and threw it at the dark tent in front of her, watching the can bounce back, she had a strange guess in her mind:

the first time she went on a mission with Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru was the "Sealed Devil" mission upstairs in the Mori Detective Agency. They had once seen a strange barrier on the top floor, which revealed a different world inside.

The familiar power of the tent in front of her reminded her of the barrier at that time.

Could it be that it was done by the same person?

"······"

Kagura Mio did not plan to use the spell immediately. She tried to break the curtain first, but obviously failed. To break this layer of curtain that looked pitch black and invisible, it would probably require brute force like Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, or -

her resonance.

Tsk.

Kagura Mio had an ominous premonition in her heart: she always felt that she had fallen into a trap and was being guided step by step into it, just like she had to use the ritual to resonate with the barrier at this moment. “······”

To do it or not to do it?

If you don't do it, you may be besieged by the other party like a frog in boiling water. If you do it, you may expose your spiritual resonance to the other party, which has certain risks.

"······"

Kagura Mio took a deep breath and then stretched out her hand, "Ninety-nine Odes·Resonance."

The cursed energy radiating from her body, the magic surged in her palms, her beating and excited heart, and countless scenes and senses flashed through her brain. Her whole body seemed to tremble, and the uncontrollable tremor on her skin made Kagura Mio feel fear.

Sure enough, she wasn't as strong as she thought - every time she used resonance, she was afraid that her power would get out of control.

Watching the black tent in front of her slowly fall, Kagura Mio saw a small room.

She took a deep breath and opened the door.

-It

doesn't feel right.

Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes.

He lazily took off his sunglasses, his glass-like eyes flashed, and he looked at Xia Youjie, thoughtfully: "You felt it too, right?"

"Yeah." Xia Youjie nodded. After killing the cursed spirits, the two stopped and did not move forward.

These cursed spirits were hiding in the woods. If they were to kill them all, at their speed, they would be able to reach Iwate Prefecture in an hour.

"Can there be so many cursed spirits in Miyagi Prefecture?" Gojo Satoru was very curious, his brain was working non-stop, "Unless--"

The moment the two looked at each other, their eyes flashed, and an unprecedented sense of crisis was visible in each other's eyes.

Unless, this is a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

The other party just wants the two of them to leave Sendai!

The enemy's target is Kagura Mio!

-

Kagura Mio looked at the ordinary room in front of her, her pupils trembling. This was the first time that she, who was usually calm, showed her emotions so openly -

for no other reason than that the room was filled with information about the Gojo family.

From the head of the Gojo family a thousand years ago to the current Gojo Satoru, the other party seems to have done in-depth research on the Six Eyes. When Kagura Mio got closer, she could even see that the other party had marked several "Gojo".

"Six-Eyes has been killed."

"A new Six-Eyes appears."

? !

She flipped through the information in front of her in a panic, and then saw the detailed information of the Kagura family in a corner -

"A priest family from thousands of years ago, with a genetic ritual of excellent music. But few people know that the Kagura family is best at resonance."

"In festival music, the Taiko will form a 'rhythmic resonance' with other instruments, and by constantly repeating the same rhythm, it forms a collective emotional appeal. This resonance is not only musical, but also a sense of ritual, allowing all participants to immerse themselves in the same mental state."

"You can play the 'shamisen', right? After all, you are a child of the Kagura family, and even your cursed tools are related to the strings-"

"Child, your technique is not a genetic mutation, but a true inheritance."

The family secret that had never been known to anyone was publicized so openly that Kagura Mio turned around without hesitation and looked at the woman in front of her.

She has a pretty face and short hair, but her smile is particularly evil, and a seam on her forehead makes her stand out.

At this moment, the woman was leaning against the door, looking at Kagura Mio leisurely, with a relaxed and contented look.

Nagisa naturally enjoyed Kagura Mio's shock, with an incomprehensible smile on the corner of his mouth.

"My dear Kagura Mio, you are born to be the best container."

"Otherwise, why would I send you to the six-eyed god of the Gojo family?"

"This time, I don't even need to do anything, you will kill him."

"I'm so looking forward to it, my - Miss Container."
