There is a mysterious urban legend in Takadanobaba, and it all originated from a mysterious building located on this street. A famous detective lived here. It was said that people died wherever he went, so people called him

"The famous detective Mouri Kogoro."

Kagura Mio looked at the sign of "Mouri Detective Agency" in front of her and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

As a sorcerer, she can see cursed spirits. But unfortunately, there is no so-called residual cursed power on the first and second floors.

But -

"Such a strong smell of death." Gojo Satoru frowned, sniffed as if he was a little disgusted, and scratched the back of his neck, "Maybe this guy's title as the God of Death is true."

Geto Suguru narrowed his eyes: "Satoru, when did you become a feudal and superstitious person?"

Gojo Satoru patted Geto Suguru's shoulder: "There are cursed spirits in this world, what else is not there?" "

Probably no 'off work'." Kagura Mio put down the bill indifferently.

"Legend has it that when an elementary school student named Edogawa Conan is around, a lot of deathly energy will float out of this building and it can't be suppressed at all. But our mission has nothing to do with this - the Maori office has closed recently, and it is said that he is going to Hawaii for further studies. Our target starts from the third floor to the top floor - it is said that three first-level cursed spirits have appeared there. They appear and disappear like ghosts, and the last time they appeared was here." "

Don't ask me why I know." Kagura Mio glanced at Suguru Geto who was hesitant to speak, and shrugged indifferently, "Just now when the assistant supervisor drove here, I accidentally resonated with a fly head, and it provided me with information."

Suguru Geto held his forehead: What a mistake, he forgot that Kagura Mio's technique can resonate with all beings containing cursed power.

"'The Sealed Devil'?" Gojo Satoru looked at the task list in his hand, crumpled it into a ball of paper, and threw it into the trash can through a technique, "It looks interesting."

"Yeah." Mio followed Gojo Satoru and held up the "No Entry" banner, looked back at Geto Suguru, "Remember to leave the 'account'."

There were two completely irresponsible guys in front of her.

Geto Suguru sighed helplessly, then gathered his magical power: "Born from darkness, from darkness to darkness. All filth and filth shall be exorcised."

The "tent" that was like a black sky curtain was enough to isolate everything. Inside the tent, the sorcerers could fight as hard as they could without affecting the surrounding residents.

"It's mainly to protect non-magicians. What a troublesome thing." Gojo Satoru spread his hands, made a face at Kagura Mio, and the three of them officially stepped into the third floor of the building.

As soon as she came in, Kagura Mio instinctively felt that something was wrong -

the aura of the curse was too strong.

A sorcerer is born with the ability to sense the breath of a curse, not to mention that the three people in front of him are the strongest among the strong. The perception of this breath is a talent engraved in their DNA, just like drinking water and eating.

But Kagura Mio still had such a powerful and terrifying resonance technique. The rich smell of the curse almost enveloped her entire body. The cells in her body were clamoring wildly, trying to manipulate her to resonate with this strange power. Kagura Mio felt her senses being infinitely magnified, and couldn't help but take a quick breath.

Geto Suguru, who noticed something was wrong with his classmate, was about to take care of his new classmate, but he saw that Satoru reached out and grabbed Kagura Mio's hand as if he knew that she would not be able to adapt.

A steady stream of powerful cursed energy overflowed from the two people's clasped hands. Before Geto Suguru could even react, he felt a power belonging to Satoru being continuously input into Kagura Mio's body.

This is······?

As if seeing Geto Suguru's confusion, Gojo Satoru pulled the slightly weak Kagura Mio to his side without hesitation, "Mio's technique is too special. Obtaining powerful energy will inevitably have difficult bugs. When encountering this situation where the cursed energy is too strong, she will be a little weak." "

It's okay. Let me do it." Kagura Mio took two deep breaths, let go of Gojo Satoru's hand and waved it.

She knew that Gojo Satoru didn't tell her the whole story because her technique was her privacy and he had no right to tell her so many details. But the current situation is not favorable to her. Geto Suguru is a trustworthy teammate and has a very high priority to know.

"My flesh////body resonates with the ritual before me. So when I encounter a curse with strong magical power, my flesh////body starts to become restless, and I feel a little weak. But Wu forces the ritual to resonate with me, and his power is strong enough to dispel the negative effects in my body, as long as--"

It will be fine after a while.

But Kagura Mio didn't even finish her words.

She saw with her own eyes that she was sucked over by something. The suction was so strong that she couldn't even resist. It was as if her neck was locked as fate would have it. By the time she reacted, she was already standing in the center of the building.

I don’t know if it’s because of the management of Kogoro Mori, but the third floor and above seem to be contracted by one person. But the residents of Takadanobaba have never seen the boss, there are only empty houses.

At this moment, in the center of this huge building that looked like a rough house, Kagura Mio was trapped here like a trapped bird by a strange spell. She can move in a small range, but once she exceeds a radius of 30 cm, she will be bounced back rapidly.

Although it is different, she is really imprisoned here.

Judging from the scenery outside the window, she should be on the fifth floor...

Tsk.

It's really totally incompatible with her technique.

Kagura Mio took a deep breath, trying to calm her anxiety. What she had to do now was to find a way to break this restraint before Gojo Satoru came to rescue her, and then join the team as soon as possible -

no, not a restraint, but -

"Magic circle."

A hint of coldness flashed across Roku's eyes under the pure black sunglasses.

It's not even sunglasses, it's just a monitoring tool... Who is it? Has this been planned for a long time?

Although they are different people, two people with similar thinking are thinking about the same problem.

However, it was obvious that the other party had no intention of giving them time -

runes like black ink instantly began to flow, winding on the ground and forming huge lines. As Kagura Mio stood in the center of the magic circle, the magic circle suddenly started to activate, and a strange ritual like a sacrifice to the devil was instantly initiated. Kagura Mio was hit by this powerful cursed power, and a black light passed through her chest in her already fragile body. She could hardly stand and knelt in the center of the magic circle, feeling her body passively resonating with the magic circle.

In the center of the magic circle, a string of numbers suddenly appeared.

Kagura Mio knew what it was without even looking—

the magic circle was adapting to her.

Starting from the initial 5%, the degree of adaptation is increasing rapidly.

5%, 24%, 51%, 78%...

until the adaptability reached 80%. The rising speed was not that fast, but Kagura Mio clearly felt the changes in her body -

she became weaker and weaker, and the black runes of the magic circle turned into scarlet blood red, as if they had sucked Kagura Mio's blood from the source, which was weird and strange.

Kagura Mio felt her heart beating very fast, and the blood in her body seemed to flow backwards instantly. Her thin skin suddenly became congested, and she began to lose sight of what was in front of her. She could only feel that her body was no longer under her control, as if something was about to burst out -

she knew that was her deepest fear and her most hidden secret.

There is another person living in her body, or rather, a ritual.

When her matching degree reaches 100%, she will completely lose control and the body will be controlled by the ritual personality. Kagura Mio herself will die due to losing consciousness.

Growing up with this secret hidden from her, Kagura Mio almost lived in fear. She was afraid of disappearing, and even more afraid of losing her mind. So she has been suppressing and restraining herself -

"Hiss."

It hurts.

She sighed, her bloodshot eyes tearing up: "I don't care who you are, but now is not the time for you to control me--"

Kagura Mio has never been one to succumb to pain.

On the other side, the moment Kagura Mio was captured, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru started the speed run mode - they discovered that there were definitely more than three first-level cursed spirits in this building. In order to find Kagura Mio, one must eliminate the runes and curses in front of him - as if it were a kind of restraint.

There were remnants of cursed spirits everywhere, but these cursed spirits seemed to be quite good at dodging. In other words, it will take some time for them to find these guys.

“······”

“The technique is clockwise·Cang.”

The young man’s technique controlled infinity and sucked away all matter through the huge gravitational force. A blue light flashed in his eyes, just like the boy's beautiful and delicate pupils. However, there was no longer the calmness of seeing through everything in those eyes, but visible anxiety.

Everything around seemed to have lost its neutrality. Cang roared like a huge storm and rolled up all the runes around him. Many cursed spirits that had not yet been absorbed by Geto Suguru were rolled into him while crying. They exploded in mid-air along with the strong storm filled with rich cursed power, leaving no ashes behind. The entire building was swept by the young man's powerful energy. The smell of the cursed spirit explosion in the air rushed into his nose, and Gojo Satoru coughed twice.

Geto Suguru thought inappropriately: If Gojo Satoru were to do housework, he would probably clean up the whole house.

But now was not the time to joke, he could see that his classmate was panicking and couldn't help but think of a countermeasure.

The six-eyed son of God in the storm had an indifferent expression, and blinked with the corners of his eyes slightly raised. His clear eyes, like the mirror of the sky, were calculating at high speed, dismantling the structure of the entire building and the remnants of cursed power.

"Jie, Mio went to the top floor."

Xiayou Jie's eyes were stunned: "Wasn't she just now--"

He paused as if he thought of something, looked at Gojo Satoru, and said nothing tacitly, then quickly released the cursed spirits to the top floor, "I'll let them guard Mio first."

"Okay." Gojo Satoru and Xiayou Jie ran quickly to the fourth floor together.

If Kagura Mio's position can move, it means that she still has self-awareness and can force herself to change direction and find a solution.

Looking at the cursed spirits and runes that were pouring up from all over the fourth floor, Gojo Satoru's eyes narrowed slightly.

The boy's hair was flying slightly in front of his eyes due to the high speed of movement. He did not hesitate to produce a huge blue energy ball from his hands.

Geto Suguru took advantage of the situation and released the special-grade cursed spirit Rainbow Dragon, which attacked the cursed spirits like a whirlwind.

He glanced at his anxious colleague next to him and raised his eyebrows, "At least leave some for me."

He could still absorb it.

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows and manipulated Cang to destroy the layers of reinforced talismans in the same way: "Jie, you are really hungry."

Xiayou Jie showed a slightly helpless expression, and smiled bitterly: "If I have the chance, I would rather starve to death than eat this kind of thing to fill my stomach."

Kagura Mio felt very painful.

The wound on her leg continued to bleed, and she felt that most of her vitality had been absorbed by the magic circle, but fortunately she finally escaped from the magic circle.

She almost used all her strength to climb to the top floor. Blood kept flowing down her calves, but she didn't regret it at all - she used the cursed tool Ming Shen that she carried with her in the magic circle to pierce her thigh. The moment the blood flowed out, the magic circle suddenly extinguished. At that time, she showed a victorious smile.

She knew that -

by consuming her cursed energy to complete the magic circle cycle, she only needed to consume actual energy, such as blood and sweat, to break the cycle. It’s just that the sweat consumption in that scene is not realistic enough, and the amount is not large enough.

She stood on the top floor in a trance, and because of her poor mental state, she did not notice that an ancient statue covered with metal patterns appeared behind her.

There are three eyes on its face. At this moment, the third eye on its forehead is open. The eye with no white at all looks terrifying and scary, and tears of blood shed as the ritual is activated.

A huge blue energy interrupted its spell.

Kagura Mio fell into Gojo Satoru's arms first, and then saw her childhood sweetheart with an anxious look on his face, staring at the hemorrhoid wound on her leg and panting, as if he had climbed several floors.

If Geto Suguru were here, he would probably say that Gojo Satoru slaughtered all the cursed spirits in the entire building, leaving him with almost no food.

But he was not here, so Kagura Mio could only see the six-eyed Shenzi's snow-white eyelashes trembling slightly, and he gently lowered his head and blew on her wound like when he was a child.

"Mio, here I come."
