"Seriously, what on earth is this place?" After carefully studying the magic circle downstairs but still not understanding what it was, Xia Youjie took photos for record, then used magic to roll the few remaining cursed spirits downstairs into cursed spirit balls, and walked slowly to the top floor.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gojo Satoru half-kneeling on the ground bandaging Kagura Mio. The hair on Geto's forehead moved.

That guy Satoru is really anxious...

He had planned to stand by and observe, but it seemed that he didn't get the chance, because the moment he walked in, the door on the top floor was suddenly closed quickly, and the whole building that was almost looted by Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru suddenly became gloomy, as if shrouded by something, and the lights on the top floor flickered.

The three people who noticed something was wrong looked at each other and tacitly became more alert.

"Mio, do you need help?" asked Geto Suguru as he looked at Kagura Mio who was being helped to stand up by Gojo Satoru.

"It's okay." Kagura Mio shook her head, signaling Gojo Satoru not to support her. "You should have this kind of awareness the day you become a sorcerer, right?"

Suguru Geto laughed, amused by her tone.

He looked at his colleague in front of him and released Rainbow Dragon to follow her: "Okay, then I reluctantly agree to let Kagura join our strongest duo."

As the three of them walked inside, Gojo Satoru curled his lips and said, "Okay, it's the strongest trio."

Kagura Mio had no intention of refutation. She heard Geto Suguru continue to say, "I released a cursed spirit to find you just now, but it was later eliminated. I think there are more powerful cursed spirits in this building."

"More than that." Kagura Mio stared at the wall in front of her and said softly.

Gojo Satoru, who was keenly aware of her tone, raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

"I was forced to resonate when I was sucked in, so I am particularly familiar with the aura of this building. Normally this shouldn't happen, but--" She pointed at the wall in front of her, with some doubt in her tone, "I sense a strange power behind this wall."

? !

The three of them looked at each other, and Gojo Satoru broke the silence, "It's probably the barrier technique of the curse master. Mio, do you want to resonate?"

Kagura Mio shook her head.

Although her technique can break the barrier through resonance, her fighting style has always been precisely calculated, and she is unwilling to consume even a single bit of magical power - in essence, she still has not mastered the technique of resonance, so it is better to use it less.

Gojo Satoru nodded and stepped forward first, "Well, Jie."

His eyes under his sunglasses were beautiful and cunning, "This shouldn't be our fault, right?"

Xia Yujie laughed.

He twisted his wrist to relax the joints all over his body, "I've been wanting to have some good fun for a long time."

Then Kagura Mio looked at her good classmates, one used the high-powered Cang, and the other controlled the Hundred Slashing Dragon to attack the barrier in front of them. The bright and dazzling blue light hooked up the majestic and terrifying cursed power around and exploded in an instant. The black dragon-shaped cursed spirit was covered with blade-like scales, and the scales as sharp as knives attacked the barrier frantically.

One blue and one black, it's so exciting that people can't take it all in.

Until the barrier in front of them was like a broken domain with a corner shattered, and then the whole thing shattered -

they saw an unprecedented realm.

This is a rather large and mysterious space.

It's like the fortune teller's divination hut on the corner of Shibuya, with mysterious symbols and runes all over the place, the lights are dim and mysterious, and it looks daunting.

As soon as they walked in, the strange smell of spices in the room arose, but before the three of them could react, a strange and mysterious feeling of oppression instantly descended. The three of them reacted at the same time, and Honglong took the lead in attacking the other party -

Kagura Mio looked behind her.

Behind them, three cursed spirits of different shapes were standing there quietly, with lifeless smiles on their blurry facial features, staring at the three of them lifelessly.

? !

The first cursed spirit was wrapped in tattered white cloth, like a ghost. Its real face could not be seen clearly, only a torn mouth. There were ever-changing afterimages on its body. Kagura Mio accurately aimed at the image of the non-magician's corpse on it - the other party's head and body were completely separated, the position of the eyes had been dug into bloody holes, the corners of its mouth were torn, blood was crawling all over its grown mouth, and its face was still filled with fear before death.

The second cursed spirit's body was made up of black mist, with a tall black humanoid figure without eyes and mouth, but it was clear that half of the face was crying, and the other half was smiling.

The third cursed spirit, Kagura Mio, looked stern. It was the golden statue that suddenly disappeared just now. His body was covered with metallic lines, and he had a face like a god, with a mask of self-suppressing libido on his face. When he looked at them, tears of blood flowed from his third eye.

Geto Xiayou had never felt this way before.

He looked at the white cursed spirit in front of him. The unpredictable corpse and terrifying face on his body did not scare him, but he felt an unprecedented pain. He didn't understand why he was sad, and even more so why he was so desperate. Negative emotions instantly pressed down on him like a tide. Before Xia Youjie could react, the white curse spirit had already taken action -

its cracked mouth was speechless, and it made some strange whispers, like eerie music. In such a strange environment, Xia Youjie saw his past self.

“······” Kagura Mio stared at the golden statue in front of her.

The pain in the calf was nothing in this high-pressure environment. Kagura Mio narrowed her eyes slightly and observed the statue in front of her. To be honest, she could not feel the other party's will to fight. She just felt uncomfortable instinctively when looking directly at the third eye that was bleeding continuously.

Until Kagura Mio's heart beat violently -

she had a brief resonance with the monster in front of her, Kagura Mio suddenly remembered an important thing that she had unknowingly forgotten - where is Gojo Satoru and Geto? !

"So part of your technique is to isolate the three of us?" Kagura Mio sneered, constantly calculating their plan in her mind.

No wonder he was completely non-aggressive at the beginning. Did he give up some of his attacks in exchange for the three of them being separated?

As the girl made the discovery, the three eyes of the statue in front of her opened at the same time, the space suddenly twisted, and Kagura Mio watched her body being pulled by an invisible force and flying towards the monster!

The ring that had been hanging on the finger quickly turned into a thin line like a guitar string. This special-grade cursed item "Resound" is a treasure passed down in the Kagura family for thousands of years. It is easy to carry and can cooperate with the owner's movements to restrain the enemy at critical moments.

"Besides, it goes well with my technique."

Kagura Mio twitched the corners of her mouth. The brief fluctuations in the air were as familiar as music in her mind. She used the reverberation without hesitation to bind the cursed spirit in front of her from top to bottom, and then prepared to take out Narukami to attack. Her dagger pierced fiercely into the pupil on the opponent's forehead -

her shoulder was pierced fiercely!

The lines on the palm of the sculpture seemed like a winding fate, which at this moment turned into hollow and sunken bones, twisting and struggling like sharp claws as they stretched out towards her!

The excruciating pain made Kagura Mio's eyes widen. She didn't even understand why this sculpture appeared here. She was defeated by the opponent's continuous bombardment. She instinctively fought back with her own skills, but was always seen through by the opponent. There were several bloody holes on her body, making her look particularly hideous and terrifying.

Blood splattered and Kagura Mio's body sank. Her well-trained instinct made her turn around to protect her body the moment she fell. Her five senses were instantly engulfed by a heavy feeling of oppression.

how so?

"The moment of death has been set, the book of fate has been written, and the hands of the gods have sealed it. No one can rewrite it."

The statue in front of him changed back to its original compassionate face that saved all living beings, as if all the attacks just now had never existed.

It has no mouth, but it can speak.

"I am Osiris. I was born from the chaos of the Nile and control life and death. But even I cannot defy the hourglass of fate."

"The one who makes fate has determined your destiny. You will fall into the web of shadows and sink into the nameless realm."

"..."

Kagura Mio was silent for a moment.

"Really?"

She supported herself and stood up, her eyes, which were usually cold or gentle, staring directly at the statue opposite.

"Do you feel superior because you're a cursed spirit? Brother, you're a cursed spirit, and you're defeated by me, not Osiris. Just because I gave you some energy, you really think you're the king of the underworld?" "

?! How can you..."

"Can I understand what you're saying?" Kagura Mio smiled, looking at the horrified expression of the cursed spirit in front of her, a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Because of resonance."

"Didn't you notice, I gave up the attack later, because I was trying to resonate with you."

"So you are a curse spirit, stupid as hell."

"Now." Kagura Mio knocked her head, her face splattered with blood with a bit of madness, "I already know all your details."

"You have restricted your own movements in exchange for the ability to predict what will happen in the next ten seconds, so you know my attacks well. But, my ex-friend." Kagura Mio spread her hands, "Are you still charging now?"

"In other words, I still have one minute to deal with you."

She looked at the curse spirit in front of her, "One minute to deal with you is enough."

The next second, the air trembled, and resonating sound waves were like sonic blades like a gale, and the dry bones like the curse spirit just now entangled its body, leaving it with no way to retreat. The golden statue cracked like glass, letting out an unbelievable scream. Its body was torn apart by the resonance of the sound waves, and its blood exploded into countless points of light!

“Because they have been a family in charge of sacrifices for thousands of years, the Kagura family’s inherited techniques are related to music, and my technique, the Ninety-Nine Techniques, is the culmination of this.” Kagura Mio raised her head slightly, scarlet blood dripping down her arm, but her eyes flashed with a confident light, “Ninety-Nine Techniques: Heavenly Evolution and Rippling Light.”

The prediction of the opponent’s technique was enough for her to know where the cursed spirit in front of her stood. Kagura Mio raised the Naruto God high without hesitation. In an instant, the technique and the cursed power converged and resonated on the short blade. The blow that pierced fate was enough to completely exorcise the cursed spirit in front of her -

wait!

Kagura Mio changed the direction of attack.

She looked at the dying cursed spirit in front of her and lifted up her hair, "You still have some use."

Xia Yujie felt that the world no longer belonged to him. He clearly sensed that the cursed spirit in front of him was not an aggressive one, but the feeling of being lost in the past was really not good.

While controlling the cursed spirits to attack the opponent, he was thinking about forcibly breaking the opponent's magic if it didn't work.

What broke his thoughts was a dagger.

Like a light that tore through all the darkness, the girl leaped in from top to bottom like bright moonlight, and was about to kick in a - Xia Yujie looked down and saw that it was the cursed spirit that looked like a golden statue.

He looked at the girl in front of him a little dazed, but she raised her eyebrows at him with an interested look, "Jie, you haven't had dinner yet? I've brought you food."

"..."

Xia Youjie held his forehead and smiled bitterly.

He never imagined that the few times in his life when he was rescued would be so special.

“So you two used the cursed spirit that can predict the future to torture this thing into this state?”

Gojo Satoru casually stepped on the white cursed spirit that was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, clicked his tongue twice, and gave all the black cursed spirits that he had tied up to Geto Suguru, “Eat it, Geto.”

Geto Suguru: “…”

Why are you speaking in such a tone?! He is not a kitten or puppy being fed!

However, just as he was about to say something, he saw the two feeding duo sneaking into the mysterious room.

Xia Youjie: "..."

He didn't expect that he would have to take on the relatively reliable responsibility among the three of them.

But nevertheless—

luckily they left.

Xia Yujie thought.

It’s better not to let them see the painful scene of swallowing the cursed spirit.

Kagura Mio, who had resonated with Geto Suguru and inadvertently learned that he was particularly painful when eating cursed spirits, took Gojo Satoru away for this reason, but at this moment she was responsible for comforting the big cat.

"So why did you look for Jie first and not me? Aren't you worried that something might happen to me?" Gojo Satoru frowned and pointed at Kagura Mio, but the other party was collecting all the shiny little things in the house like a magpie.

"Mio! Mio!"

"Hey." Kagura Mio raised her head from a pile of newspapers, "We are very familiar with each other, and I know very well that you will not be in danger with your strength. After all, you are the strongest, so it is normal for me to take care of Jie first."

Gojo Satoru, who was a little coaxed: "... Humph."

"And." Kagura Mio raised her eyes and looked at Gojo Satoru with a smile, "I resonated with the cursed spirits, and learned that three cursed spirits need to be killed at the same time to successfully exorcise them. Also, I want to test its abilities, so I'll look for Jie first."

Yes, these three cursed spirits are actually differentiated from a special-grade cursed spirit. They represent the three aspects of destiny, the past, present and future. Kagura Mio met the future, Suguru Geto met the past, and Gojo Satoru met the present. Due to the logic of time and space, exorcism can only be successful if all three cursed spirits are destroyed at the same time.

Kagura Mio looked at her classmate who was as childish as an elementary school student, her eyes shining, "Okay, okay, the strongest Gojo-sama, don't be angry. How about we play games together tonight?" "

Okay. Since you want to play games with me so much--" Her eyes are so bright!

And then the next second.

He saw Kagura Mio digging out a pile of gold from under the sofa.

Her eyes, which rarely looked so bright, were filled with desire for money and strange and weird ideas.

As soon as Geto Suguru came in, he heard Kagura Mio say, "I suggest that we collect some of the good things we encounter in each mission and set up our own small treasury to facilitate our future actions."

Geto Suguru's pupils trembled: This is very cruel.

He hesitated and asked, "Is it because the college didn't give enough?"

Kagura Mio acted as if it was a matter of course: "Every penny given by the technical high school will be recorded in the account, which means that all our expenses and consumption will be transparent to them. If one day we need money and need to hide it from the technical high school, we will have a hard time. So,

we might as well make as much money as possible now." Gojo Satoru put his hands on his hips. As he was familiar with his childhood sweetheart, he felt that there was something wrong with what she said, "But I can pay for it if you want it?"

Kagura Mio sighed and looked at the two of them with a look that showed that they were incorrigible. "Don't you want to sneak out and play when Mr. Yaga isn't paying attention? We use this money to book an izakaya near the technical high school and make it our secret base, how about it?"

This was the truth, and Geto Suguru was a little relieved, but he was still a little hesitant: "Do we really want to do this?"

Kagura Mio raised her eyebrows: "Do you want to do it?"

Geto Suguru: "...Okay."

He lifted his eyelids and looked around to find Gojo Satoru, but when he looked up, he found that Gojo Satoru had already started searching around like a treasure hunter.

He looked at his strongest classmate who was searching with a giggle, and even looked up at him: "Jie, it's more fun to work stealthily than to work seriously!"

Xia Youjie: "..."

Did anyone tell him that the strongest is also the strongest when it comes to sneaking around!
