Chapter 928 Gojo Satoru’s best friend

"I'm coming."

In the somewhat strange atmosphere in the principal's office, Gojo Satoru took the lead in breaking the silence with his unstressed voice.

"I'm sorry, Li Ge, for asking you to make a trip so late."

Gojo Satoru, who put on a blindfold, stretched out a hand towards Rige and waved, as if asking him to come to him.

"It's not too late." Li Ge glanced at Gojo Satoru and did not walk over. He just said: "Compared to the knotweeds and others who are still there in the forest to exorcise the cursed spirits, I am very relaxed."

"You have already done your best." Gojo Satoru spread his hands and said: "Because of your great activity, more than half of the cursed spirits have been exorcised in advance, including the special-grade cursed spirits. With such a great effort, How can these old guys have the nerve to let you take action?"

Of course, they are more afraid that if you strike too lightly or too hard, the forest will be cut or lifted.

Gojo Satoru said this silently in his heart.

"... Just say a few words to me, Satoru." Noctua Masami seemed to know what Gojo Satoru was thinking, and resisted the urge to kick him away, saying: "We still have something serious to say, so stop playing tricks."

Hearing this, Li Ge was not surprised.

"You want to ask me about the three curse masters?"

Li Ge spoke calmly.

"That's right." Noctua nodded heavily, looked directly at Li Ge, and said: "When the curse spirits invaded the designated exchange area, multiple curse masters appeared together, and their target was you. Right?"

This is what Rige told Gojo Satoru after the [Account] was broken and he found Rige.

And this matter has obviously been reported.

"That's true." Li Ge had no need to hide anything and said straightforwardly: "The three curse masters said that they came because someone offered a bounty on me, and they planned to use my head in exchange for the bounty."

As soon as these words came out, the nunnery singer on the side spoke up.

"Who is offering a reward for you? Do you have any idea about this matter?"

Hearing this, Li Ge did not answer, but looked at Leyan Temple Jiashen lightly.

Everyone was startled at first, and then everyone understood what Li Ge meant.

This is telling others that he is suspicious of Leyanji Jiashen!

"...Are you doubting me?"

Leyanji Jiashen suddenly narrowed his eyes.

In this regard, Li Ge's answer is also very simple and clear.

"Shouldn't I doubt you?" He said calmly: "Before the incident, some top students from Kyoto School came to test me. They were obviously instructed by others."

Therefore, Li Ge had reason to doubt whether Leyan Temple Jiashen was up to something here.

This made Leyanji Jiashen's eyes look gloomy when he looked at Li Ge.

"No, this was not done by the principal of Leyan Temple." Ye Mozhengdao defended Leyan Temple Jiashen, saying: "The other party is a curse master, and the principal of Leyan Temple has no reason to collude with the curse master."

As the leader of the conservatives, Leyan Temple Jiashen had many people under his command, so there was no need to deliberately go to the Curse Master to issue a reward for Li Ge.

Moreover, he had already sent Kamo Kenji and others to test Lige. In this case, he would not use the Curse Master unnecessarily.

If he wanted to deal with Li Ge, he could have used tasks and the like as a cover like he did in the juvenile hall. There were plenty of reasons and excuses. There was really no need to make such a big fuss at the exchange meeting between sister schools in Kyoto.

Moreover……

"The enemy has the means to control so many cursed spirits, but the principal of Leyan Temple does not have such means."

Noctua Zhengdao's too real speech made Leyanji Yoshinobu turn his dark eyes towards him.

I'm really sorry that I don't have such means.

"Controlling curse spirits, I remember there is such a technique, right?"

Leyan Temple Jia Shen made a faint sound.

"For example...[Spell Manipulation]."

When this sentence came out of Rakuyanji Yoshinobu's mouth, Noctua Masami and Gojo Satoru both reacted fiercely and rejected it.

"No, it can't be [Spell Manipulation]."

"There should be no one in the current magic world who knows how to use [Spell Manipulation]."

Noctua Masami and Gojo Satoru retorted at the same time, with very firm attitudes.

Especially Gojo Satoru, the smile on his face disappeared, and there was a hint of gloom on his angular face. This expression had never appeared on his face in the past.

"[Spell Spirit Manipulation Technique]..."

Li Ge spoke thoughtfully.

"Remember, this seems to be the spell of one of the four super-level magicians, right?"

Li Ge was still impressed by this person.

Because the other party's presence in the original work is not low, and he has a great connection with Gojo Satoru, the most powerful conjurer in the contemporary era and the protagonist of the prequel of the original work, Yuta Otoko, which made Rige remember him.

"...Now we are among the top five super magicians, and you didn't count yourself among them."

Noctua spoke in a deep voice.

"Of course, you can talk about the four super-level magicians. After all, that guy died last year."

Just as Noctua Zhengdao finished speaking, Leyanji Jiashen took over his words.

"Xia Youjie, one of the original four super-level conjurers, was a conjurer affiliated with the Tokyo Metropolitan Conjuring College. He later defected from the conjuring college and became a curse master. He used the curse to kill the master. Hundreds of ordinary people are determined to build a magician's paradise without ordinary people, and for this reason, last year the Hundred Ghost Night Walk was triggered."

"That night, he released more than a thousand cursed spirits in Shinjuku and Kyoto, Tokyo, and ordered the cursed spirits to kill all ordinary people."

"And the reason why he can do such a thing is because of his technique - [Spell Manipulation Technique]."

As the name suggests, this is a spell that allows you to take the cursed spirit for your own use and control it as freely as you control a shikigami.

Xia Youjie, a former super-level spell master, possesses such spells, and after years of accumulation, he has subdued thousands of spell spirits.

Among these cursed spirits, there is no shortage of existences rated as special-level.

Therefore, the defected former super-level magician single-handedly restored the folk tale of the Night Parade of Hundreds of Ghosts, causing thousands of magic spirits to attack the city, causing the entire magic world to join forces and exhaust their efforts. Finally, these many cursed spirits were exorcised.

If this former super-level magician took action, then what happened today would be explained.

The simultaneous appearance and simultaneous attack of thousands of cursed spirits makes people doubt the Hundred Ghost Night Parade last year, and also makes people doubt Xia Youjie's [cursed spirit manipulation].

However--

"Xia Youjie is dead."

Gojo Satoru said this in a tone he had never heard before.

"He was defeated by Yuta and then killed by my own hands. I can confirm that he cannot still be alive."

These words made the atmosphere in the principal's office more or less heavy.

At least, the expressions of Noctua Zhengdao and An Songji were both serious, and Noctua Zhengdao's expression was even a little sad.

Li Ge suddenly glanced at Gojo Satoru.

Although he didn't say it, if Li Ge remembered correctly, Xia Youjie was Gojo Satoru's close friend.

Xia Youjie, who was originally affiliated with the Tokyo Metropolitan College of Magic, was the same generation as Gojo Satoru ten years ago.

Just like Li Ge is currently studying in the first grade of the Conjuring High School at the same time as Kozune Hisuhito, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugizaki Norose, when Gojo Satoru was still in school, Xia Youjie was his classmate. .

At the same time, Xia Youjie is also Gojo Satoru's only close friend in his life. The relationship between the two can be called a golden partner, and they are basically indistinguishable from each other.

Unfortunately, after Xia Youjie defected, this relationship came to an end.

However, in Gojo Satoru's heart, Xia Youjie obviously still has a very special status.

"...If that's the case, where did those thousands of cursed spirits come from?"

Seeing Gojo Satoru's expression, Rakuganji Yoshinobu seemed to know that he was in a bad mood now, and changed the topic as if he didn't intend to stimulate him further.

And this question was answered by Noctua Zhengdao.

"I'm afraid it's the highly intellectual curse spirit mentioned before that can communicate with people." Noctua said so, and said with some annoyance: "Let me tell you a piece of news first, the curse spirit is used for safekeeping The warehouse of extremely dangerous cursed items was confirmed to have been invaded not long ago."

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

Li Ge also raised his eyebrows slightly.

The spell matters handled by the Conjuration Specialist not only include the removal of curse spirits, but also include the processing of dangerous curse objects.

For example, the two-sided Su Nuo fingers are a very dangerous curse. There are twenty of them in total, and each one is rated as a special curse.

If these fingers are left alone, they will attract curse spirits to a great extent. Once a curse spirit swallows the fingers, the curse spirit will gain great power and become a source of great disaster.

For example, the special-grade imaginary curse spirit in the juvenile hall. That curse spirit gained amazing power because it swallowed Liang Miansunuo's finger. Once it hatched, it became a special-grade one.

The Conjuration Specialist has been handling and keeping this type of extremely dangerous cursed objects for a long time, including the two-faced fingers. These cursed objects are kept in a highly concealed warehouse of the Conjuring Specialist. , it is impossible for ordinary people to find it.

But now, this warehouse has been invaded.

"Where's the damage?"

Gojo Satoru was no longer immersed in Xia Youjie's affairs, and confirmed towards Noctua's true path.

"It's very big." Noctua Zhengdao didn't hide anything, and said in a deep voice: "The people responsible for guarding the warehouse were all killed. The death was very miserable, and the bodies were transformed into strange things that were neither human nor ghosts."

"And including Liangmian Sunuo's fingers, several special-level charms are missing."

"Being taken away... is the only possibility."

Everyone fell silent immediately.

"The body has been transformed..." Gojo Satoru sighed and said, "It seems that it must be the highly intelligent curse spirit that Hisuhito encountered before."

"He once mentioned to me that the spell of the curse spirit is very dangerous. It can transform the human body into a form that even the curse spirit does not possess and control it."

"Those who have been transformed are basically hopeless. They will also lose their freedom, be manipulated by others, or even be transformed a second time. It will be very painful."

This sentence alone can make people understand how dangerous and hateful the so-called highly intelligent curse spirit is.

Only Li Ge was somewhat interested.

"A technique to transform the body?"

This technique seems to be quite valuable.

It's not that Li Ge doesn't have similar magic, but those are not the types that can be used casually.

For example, Li Ge has magic that can transform humans into other races, transform other races into other races, and even make people immortal and become immortals, but he will not use it easily.

This kind of spell that transforms the body is similar to this type of magic. If it is more operable, Li Ge would still like to get it.

The rest of the people who didn't know that Li Ge had such an idea have basically restored the whole story of today's events.

"It seems that the attack on the exchange meeting was just a cover. The other party's real purpose was to use dangerous spells including Su Nuo's fingers. The [tent] raised in the forest was just to lure us all there."

Gojo Satoru said this.

"As for those thousands of curse spirits... Since the other party is a special-level curse spirit with high intelligence and can control multiple curse spirits and command them, it is not impossible to do it."

Regarding Gojo Satoru's statement, everyone nodded one after another to express their approval.

The main reason is that the Curse Academy did not find the "residues" left behind by the spell casters from those spell spirits.

Whether it is a conjurer, a curse master, or even a curse spirit, as long as you use curses, you will leave corresponding residual traces.

The same is true for magicians from other worlds. After using magic, magic residue will be left behind.

This type of residual traces is called filth.

Only the conjurer can see the filth.

As for the thousands of cursed spirits that appeared in the forest, there were no traces of the spells used by the spellcasters on their bodies.

Therefore, rather than the curse spirits being controlled by [Curse Spirit Manipulation], everyone is still more willing to believe that the highly intellectual curse spirits can control the curse spirits whose level is below themselves, and issue the order to invade the spell arts experts. Order.

As for the curse spirit, while Gojo Satoru and others were attracted by the [Account] and the curse spirit group, he invaded the cursed object storage warehouse of the Conjuring High School alone and took away those dangerous cursed objects.

Only the nunnery singer raised the first question.

"Then what's the deal with the reward for Lige Brighaut?"

This is the only question that cannot be explained.

If this incident was caused by a highly intelligent curse spirit, then how can we explain the reward for Li Ge and the curse master also invaded the boundary of the Curse High School and took action against Li Ge?

"Is it possible that the curse spirit and the curse master have joined forces?"

The singer was a little frightened.

"We can't rule out the possibility." Noctua's eyes flickered under his sunglasses and said, "It could also be a coincidence. Someone just wants to take advantage of the exchange meeting between sister schools in Kyoto to achieve some ulterior motives."

Everyone immediately looked at Leyan Temple Jiashen again.

Leyansi Jiashen began to exert force on his crutches, veins appeared on his forehead, and he was obviously a little angry.

But such a possibility is not impossible.

Even if it wasn't done by Yoshinobu Rakuyanji, it might have been done by someone high up in the magic world.

After all, after Li Ge became a special-level curse practitioner and completed [Unlimited Curses] and [Ten Shadow Spells] one after another, countless people in the upper echelons of the curse world were secretly eyeing him.

This has been mentioned before, right?
