Chapter 23 She belongs to him

"Ms. Kagura Mio, please dance with me."

The snow piled up as high as two people. Among the freezing cold schoolmates, countless silver threads stretched out like winding spider silk, imprisoning Kagura Mio in this snowy battlefield without anyone noticing.

Chikako Hachiya came towards us stepping on the silver silk thread.

Houya Zhengyi dotes on his sister very much. Even in middle age, she still looks innocent and naive. However, beneath this innocence lies a cruelty that cannot be hidden.

"The Hachiya siblings are from Fukuoka. They once caused a stir in Fukuoka and surrounding areas. They were wanted by the curse world for hijacking a school bus and killing 21 elementary school students. They fled to Hokkaido and changed their identities. They have been active again recently."

Kagura Mio looked at the woman in front of her coldly, "It seems you are short of money?"

"No, no, no." Hachiya Chikako laughed.

She stepped on the silver silk thread, and although she was wearing thick snow boots, her posture was quite light. The hem of the skirt swayed gently in the wind and snow, as if dancing in the cold wind.

"I've heard of you." Chikako Hachiya narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone erratic, "You are indeed the heir of the Kagura family... The technique that can enable resonance is known to everyone."

She gently tugged at the silk thread in her hand, and it drew an elegant arc in the air, like the little figure dancing forever on a music box, beautiful and cruel.

Kagura Mio immediately judged: This silk thread is quite deadly.

Chikako Hachiya looked at Mio Kagura and said softly, "She said that you are the best container. It's a pity that my brother and I's techniques can only be passed down through the twins. How can a technique like 'Co-devouring' be lost? So I need you. Don't worry, dear, I won't kill you--"

"If you die, where will we get the container for our technique?"

Container? !

How could she know her secret!

Kagura Mio's eyes widened.

Next second.

In the flying snow, all the spell power solidified instantly. The endless white snow wrapped the earth like a thick blanket. The silver silk threads were hidden in the countless lights, appearing and disappearing in the air.

No, that's not right.

The smell of blood, such a strong smell of blood——? !

The white snow covering the ground flew up in an instant, and rushed towards Kagura Mio like an avalanche. She dodged without hesitation, but in the next moment she saw a very horrifying scene -

in the snow, countless corpses slowly stood up along the silver lines!

They were like skeletons, wrapped only in thin human skin. All the flesh and blood under the skin had been drained out. As they stood up, the few remaining drops of blood dripped into the snow-white ground.

The corpse, which had been disfigured beyond all recognition, swayed under the control of the silver thread and rushed towards Kagura Mio!

The skeletons on their bodies creaked as they ran, and their faces were wrapped in human skins, twisting their bodies. This kind of scene is not high-pressure, but it is definitely enough to make people feel horrified and terrifying -

that kind of indifference to life.

So cruel.

Kagura Mio took a deep breath, and with her right hand, she followed the skeletons' movements and mercilessly slashed their throats one by one with the Narukami.

The special-grade cursed tool cut through the opponent's skin, cut open their skeletons, and severed the tangled silver threads. Kagura Mio, who had grown a lot, slowly stopped at the last cry of the skeleton, stood among the corpses, and looked at Hachiya Chikako silently.

"Interesting. Interesting. This is the only way you can be a container for my brother and me."

Hachiya Chikako stared at Kagura Mio and suddenly gave a neurotic smile. "You know it, right? This is my technique, called 'Co-devouring'."

"I love dancing the most. My cursed power can be connected to make others dance for me - ah, that is, to make you obedient."

Subtle vibrations exploded in Kagura Mio's limbs. She lowered her eyes and found that her limbs had been wrapped in a circle of almost transparent thin threads, and the source of the thin threads -

was actually that group of skeletons? !

Chikako Hachiya used those skeletons as a medium to restrain Kagura Mio while she was fighting? !

"Dance with me." Chikako Hachiya smiled and stretched out her arms, like a ballerina dancing on the snow. Kagura Mio felt as if her body was being pulled by an invisible hand, and her feet were spinning uncontrollably following Chikako Hachiya's movements. She forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in her body, tightly gripping the short blade with both hands, trying to steady her body, but her breathing could not help but become heavier.

But -

totally out of control? !

Kagura Mio felt her muscles twitching. The cursed energy from others was forcibly adapting to her, eroding her nerves bit by bit, allowing her body to adapt at high speed.

"Ms. Kagura, please be graceful. You are my dance partner. This won't do."

Kagura Mio felt unprecedented pain in her body. Every inch of her muscle and every internal organ were being forcibly invaded by a force. At this moment, she could hardly help but spit out a mouthful of blood in pain.

She is not injured... ?

As if she saw through Kagura Mio's confusion, Chikako Hachiya gave a cold smile: "I forgot to tell you, when my brother and I perform a ritual together, we can force the other party to produce a by-product. Guess who your by-product is? Well, it's that handsome guy with white hair~"

Chikako Hachiya controls humans through rituals, and the silver thread is her medium; Shoichi Hachiya uses attachments to achieve severe damage to the main body.

Oh.

A painful smile appeared on Kagura Mio's lips.

I feel like my whole body is restrained by the other person.

Her muscles were gradually relaxing, her breathing became shallow, and she seemed to be losing control of her body, not even Narukami could hold it -

but, so what?

Kagura Mio suddenly laughed.

There was a hint of madness on her pale face, like a desperate person making a final cry for help. No, that was not the case -

Kagura Mio suddenly shook off Narukami in her hand.

Hachiya Chikako was stunned.

She looked at the container in front of her and chuckled, then raised her eyes, her voice as gentle as a chant: "You know, right? I am a child of the Kagura family."

"Dance requires music, right?"

"And the essence of music is--"

"Resonance."

The next second, the entire snowfield shook.

Sound waves that were powerful enough to shake everything spread out along Kagura Mio's technique, instantly breaking the countless thin threads that entangled her. The blue cursed power exploded in the air along the ripples of the sound waves.

Chikako Hachiya's pupils constricted: "What?!"

Her technique actually...

Swallowed by the reverse? !

"Oh." Kagura Mio suddenly laughed.

She wiped off the blood that had seeped out due to being restrained, with a mocking smile on her brows and eyes: "Your technique relies on mutual devouring to devour me, but I can also control you by adjusting the rhythm through resonance. My dear, you are too weak."

"But--"

"Since you want to dance, then I will dance with you."

Kagura Mio smiled slightly, and the next second, her figure suddenly disappeared.

With a loud "bang", the music seemed to explode at any time. Chikako Hachiya didn't even have the ability to fight back. The girl's magic came at her like a tidal wave with the power to destroy the world. She felt her body being severely hit.

Chikako Hachiya spat out a mouthful of blood in pain. She looked at the figure of Kagura Mio looming in the snow, but she didn't have the slightest intention of killing her. Instead, she walked towards the direction of the handsome white-haired guy.

There was a hint of joy in her eyes, and she controlled countless silver threads to stretch towards Kagura Mio's back -

the countless silver threads stopped before wrapping around Kagura Mio.

Next second.

The silver thread changed direction instantly and bound Chikako Hachiya herself, becoming tighter and tighter in her horrified eyes, until finally her body was swallowed up by the silver thread, her flesh and blood were sacrificed, leaving only a lonely skeleton.

Kagura Mio sighed softly and did not stop her steps. She just left a message to Hachiya Chikako: "I've told you, don't resonate with others casually."

When Kagura Mio found Gojo Satoru, he was sitting on Hachiya Shoichi who was tied up.

Kagura Mio glanced at the bloodstains on the ground and was trying to confirm whose it was when Gojo Satoru jumped in front of Kagura Mio excitedly and pointed at his own wound and showed it to her: "Mio Mio! Mio Mio! I'm hurt! Please comfort me!"

Kagura Mio looked at Shoichi Hachiya who was beaten unconscious by Gojo Satoru with a little worry, and then looked at Gojo Satoru who was alive and kicking, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is your reversal technique not working?" "

That's right!" Gojo Satoru had no idea what shame was, and kicked Shoichi Hachiya on the ground, "Do you know that this guy made me injured? I'm bleeding."

Kagura Mio looked at Shoichi Hachiya thoughtfully and let Gojo Satoru kick him awake.

"I have something to ask him."

-Because

the mission was completed, the two did not plan to stay here tonight.

There was too much snow here, and Kagura Mio was afraid that she would not be able to return home, so the two decided to stay in a hotel in Sapporo for one night and leave Hokkaido by plane tomorrow.

Because Gojo Satoru came here on his own and didn't reserve his room at all, this person just barged into Kagura Mio's room under the pretext of examining her injuries.

The heater in the room was turned on to a suitable temperature. As soon as Kagura Mio sat down, she felt that her limbs that had been frozen and numb were finally warming up. The limbs that were wrapped by Chikako Hachiya's silk thread finally began to bleed profusely, and Gojo Satoru was wiping them for her with a tissue.

"Wow wow wow, I wanted to celebrate your birthday-"

and then got covered in blood.

There was an indescribable emotion in Gojo Satoru's lowered eyes.

He still had that cheerful look on his face, but his joking tone was a little serious: "It seems that Mio is more seriously injured than me?"

Kagura Mio waved her hand indifferently: "It's not a big problem. Anyway, we are celebrating together now, right?"

"That's true." Gojo Satoru smiled and retreated to the sofa on the other side. He said lazily, "It would be nice if I could celebrate my birthday with Mio every year."

Kagura Mio shrugged: "I didn't know you like celebrating your birthday so much."

Gojo Satoru chuckled, his eyes containing a hidden meaning: "Because it's with Mio. After all, I can't see you every day."

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly hit a straight ball, and Kagura Mio was stunned.

She turned her face slightly and looked at the snow scene outside the window to hide her unnatural attitude.

But that person came closer, tilted his head slightly, and asked her with a smile: "Mio, is Hokkaido a good place for love?"

Kagura Mio: "?"

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows slightly: "You see, this is how it's played in the movies. Two people are in the snowy scene of Hokkaido, talking about the future, and suddenly realize that they are destined to be with each other."

Kagura Mio frowned: "You actually know how to watch movies."

"Is this the point?" Gojo Satoru suddenly laughed, "Don't you think this is fate?"

Too close.

Kagura Mio thought.

The distance between them now is really too close.

It's not that Gojo Satoru hasn't shown his kindness to her in the past few years, but that guy always has a frivolous look on his face, and over time Kagura Mio didn't take it seriously.

But she is a top-grade sorcerer after all, and this feeling... is really wrong.

The lights in the room were dim. Gojo Satoru was standing in front of her, his snow-white hair hanging in front of her forehead. Because he was not wearing a bandage, his pale blue eyes were staring at her without blinking. Kagura Mio could even smell the scent of agarwood on Gojo Satoru's body.

Reassuring and stable, enough to give her a sense of security.

At this moment, Kagura Mio suddenly became alert -

when did Gojo Satoru become such a non-aggressive person?

No, that's not right. She was being pinned down by Gojo Satoru?

As if noticing her alertness, Gojo Satoru nonchalantly pushed forward lightly, closing the distance between the two of them. Before Kagura Mio could struggle, he reached out and casually restrained both of her hands with one hand, pressing her on the sofa.

Looking at her slightly nervous and a little scared expression, Gojo Satoru was in a particularly good mood and chuckled, with the tail tone rising slightly.

"Mio, if this is fate, don't you think that we should always be together?"

Kagura Mio was stunned.

The lighting in the room was soft, casting flickering spots of light on the wall as Gojo Satoru moved. The ambiguous atmosphere seemed to be ignited by this little light. The two people's breathing intertwined, and the air instantly heated up. Some unspeakable emotion seemed to be brewing at this moment, permeating his warm breath.

She blinked lightly and said with a bit of difficulty: "Well, maybe... right."

Gojo Satoru smiled and said coquettishly: "Please, who else can decide your destiny except me?"

Kagura Mio pursed her lips lightly.

He was so close that his breath between his lips and teeth felt like it was touching her lips.

Gojo Satoru's blue eyes flashed.

He liked to see her shy.

In the past, she had always been able to tease him with ease, but now -

she belonged to him.

Only he could see this expression and this state.

He lowered his head, and next to Kagura Mio's ear, which was almost red enough to bleed, he said slowly and casually, word by word: "Mio, weren't you very good at teasing me before?"

His fingertips stroked her sensitive neck, causing her to shrink.

His voice was hoarse, with an inexplicable desire:

"Mio, why are you like this now?"
