A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1275

"Wow, that's amazing."

Xuanhao looked at Nanami Kento's quick and decisive movements in surprise.

The blade of the knife used by this man was wrapped in circles of something, and he used the back of the knife to cut, but he was able to cut it off so easily and smoothly.

Just as he was surprised, the cursed spirit in front of him pounced towards him with a fierce look in its eyes.

Xuan Hao came to his senses and stepped back to avoid the attack.

"Don't look around." Nanami Kento reminded.

"Who is talking to me?" Xuan Hao curled his lips slightly.

Then, he concentrated his attention and mobilized the cursed power into his fists, preparing to punch the cursed spirit in front of him.

According to Gojo Satoru, his cursed power is very unique and is always a beat slower.

To put it simply, his cursed energy cannot keep up with his explosive power, and his technique for condensing the cursed energy is also very immature, so it is easy for it to remain on the track.

But that's not a bad thing.

This will instead form an irregular flow of cursed energy, and the enemy will only be able to catch up after realizing that the fist has hit them, which means that one blow will generate two impacts.

boom--

Xuan Hao gathered all the cursed power in his fist and mercilessly hit the torso of the cursed spirit in front of him.

The cursed impact seemed to be half a beat late, erupting after the physical impact.

A bloody hole was instantly smashed on the cursed spirit's body.

"Jingting Fist."

This is the spell-binding combat technique that Gojo Satoru taught him.

This is not a skill that most people can practice, but it is just right for his state of cursed power, so it will become a great weapon for him.

Because he possesses extraordinary powers.

The initial attack contains less cursed energy, but it has 120% of the power of an ordinary magician. After a time difference, the real cursed energy is injected into the attack. The enemy who receives that move will definitely suffer more than expected.

And there is still room for improvement. If 100% of physical skills and 100% of cursed power can be superimposed... it will be an extremely powerful force.

"After all, he is a student trained by Mr. Gojo, so he has some skills."

Nanami Kento watched Xuanhao defeat the cursed spirit and nodded in approval.

“But it’s not clean enough.”

As he spoke, he walked towards the half-dead cursed spirit with a knife in hand, ready to kill it.

However, as soon as he walked in, Kento Nanami suddenly stopped.

Because he saw that the cursed spirit was wearing a watch on his arm.

This is not something a cursed spirit should wear.

As if he had thought of something, Kento Nanami took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera and took a picture.

"No way... How could this be possible!?"

"What's wrong?" Xuan Hao asked with some confusion.

"Nothing, just don't kill him yet." Nanami Kento replied.

"Why?" Xuanhao was even more confused.

"Look at this." Kento Nanami showed him what he had taken with his cell phone.

"Hmm?" Xuan Hao was a little confused.

"We filmed it. Cursed spirits are something that cannot be captured by electronic equipment." Nanami Kento explained, "In other words... the one that just fought with us..."

"It's human."

When the two brought the two "cursed spirits" back to the high school and asked Naoko Ieiri to dissect them, Naoko Ieiri quickly gave a definite answer.

"No, it would be more accurate to say that he was originally human. Just like the three people in the cinema, he was cursed and his body was forced to become like this."

"If it was just a transformation, we would have discovered it early on, but the two people fighting us have high cursed powers like cursed spirits." Nanami Kento said in a deep voice into the phone.

In response to Nanami Kento's doubts, Ieiri Shoko could only shake her head helplessly: "The only way to answer this question is to ask the criminal what technique he used. However, there are traces of tampering in the brain stem, which may be a disorder of consciousness... to create a state of confusion. If even the brain can be tampered with, perhaps humans can be transformed into a state where they can use cursed power. After all, the relationship between the brain and cursed power is still as mysterious as the black box."

"By the way, is Xuanhao listening?" Having said that, Ieiri Naoko asked.

"Oh, I'm here." Xuanhao, who was listening to the sound of the phone next to Nanami Kento, answered.

"To put it simply, the cause of their death was shock caused by body modification. Don't get me wrong, you didn't kill them." Jiairi Naoko seemed to be comforting Xuanhao. After all, killing cursed spirits and killing humans are two different things.

"I understand." Xuan Hao replied calmly.

Nanami Kento hung up the phone.

"It doesn't matter to me whether they are human or cursed spirits. Isn't this too funny?"

Nanami Kento said calmly, "The purpose of those remnants is to lure us in. The opponent should not be underestimated. It seems that we can't deal with it easily."

As he said that, he stood up and walked out of the lounge: "Cheer up."

"Yes!" Xuanhao also perked up.

  ···········

In a sewer somewhere in the city.

The man with stitches all over his body was explaining to the young man beside him what a cursed spirit was.

"Some cursed spirits are called 'special-grade imaginary vengeful spirits'. They are a collection of cursed energy leaked from human curse masters. Even if they have no physical form, the terrifying images that remain in the public's mind can easily manifest in the form of a powerful curse."

"The horrific image in the public's mind... refers to famous monsters or strange stories?" the boy asked, not quite understanding.

"Yes, like Hanako in the toilet and the nine-tailed demon fox, etc." The man explained calmly, "The sorcerer regards them as special-grade imaginary vengeful spirits and levels them up and warns them. The same is true for powerful curses whose true identities are unknown. They will be classified as imaginary curse spirits. In short, I feel that they only see this. But it's not those fictional things that people have been afraid of, right?"

The boy thought about it and asked, "...What you are really afraid of is natural disasters or something like that?"

The man glanced at the boy and chuckled, "It's great that talking to you doesn't cause me to accumulate stress."

“No, where…” The young man blushed and lowered his head embarrassedly.

The man continued the previous topic: "The earth, forests, and oceans have always been feared by humans. They received excessive amounts of magical energy, so they gained wisdom before their appearance was formed and have been dormant until now. You are all my proud companions."

"What kind of curse is this, Mr. Zhenren?" the young man asked curiously, looking at the man in front of him.

"Human." The real person replied with a smile, "I am a curse born from the hatred and fear of man for man."

"'The antonym of liking is indifference', has the person who first said this been punished and sent to hell? How can it be possible that treating someone with malice is less harmful than not associating with them?"

The boy asked in confusion, looking at the object that had been transformed from a human in his hand.

"The opposite of like is hate. I think Japanese people like this kind of logic. They deliberately complicate simple answers and act self-righteously."

"Everyone likes to play word games. Because humans cannot survive without making various excuses." The real person laughed and sneered.

As he spoke, he came in front of a huge human figure.

"What is this?" the boy asked in surprise, looking at the fat giant in front of him.

"I'm doing an experiment to see how big I can expand a person." The real person replied thoughtfully, "And the one in your hand is an experiment to see how big it can shrink."

"!" Hearing this, the young man looked at the object in his hand and was slightly surprised, "This... is a person?"

"...Junpei." The real person observed the boy's behavior and asked calmly. "Are you used to seeing corpses?"

Because the boy was not afraid because the thing in his hand was a human.

"how to say?"

The boy named Junpei handed the person in his hand to Masato and explained, "If you say this is my mother, I will lose my mind. I might hate Mr. Masato. But I know the ugliness of human beings. So I don't have any expectations of others. Even if someone dies, I won't have any thoughts. 'Indifference' is the ultimate virtue that humans should have."

"You say that, but you actually want revenge." The real person seemed to see through the boy's thoughts and laughed.

"You mean, I hate contradictions?" Junpei was a little confused.

"Shunping, do you think people have a 'heart'?" The real person did not answer, but asked back.

"Eh...no?" Junpei asked in confusion.

"No." The real person answered firmly, "Humans have a 'soul', but it is not a 'heart'."

"Then this of mine......!!" Junpei wanted to say something in rebuttal.

But the real person interrupted him and said calmly: "I am the only one in the world who understands the structure of the soul, and I can change the appearance of a living thing just by touching it. Happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy are all products of the soul's metabolism. Calling it the 'heart' plane is too blind. Humans always think that those invisible things are too special, but for me who can see, the soul and the body have no special meaning. They just exist here."

"You know what? Life has no value or weight."

"Like water to heaven and earth, life is nothing but reincarnation between them. I am just like you, without meaning and value."

"So it doesn't matter what you do. You are free to live however you want."

"Don't be bound by this ideal of 'indifference'. Don't need a consistent lifestyle. Eat when you are hungry, kill when you hate. I approve of you and everything you do."

As he spoke, he crushed the person in his hand. Without mercy.

Shunping looked at the man in front of him, and instead of feeling any fear, he was filled with longing.

  ··········

"We have sorted out the filthy reports submitted by the 'window' regarding the recent missing persons or mysterious deaths."

In the conference room, Nanami Kento pointed at the city map on the blackboard and spoke to Xuanhao.

"It can lock down the criminal's stronghold to a certain extent."

"Okay! Are we going to attack the enemy camp?" Xuan Hao immediately started getting ready after hearing that.

"Do not."

Nanami Kento immediately denied it.

"It's only 'to a certain extent'. I will continue to investigate. Xuanhao, you have other work to do. The boy 'Yoshino Junpei' who was also in the cinema seemed to be a classmate of the same grade in the same high school as the victim. The cinema only set up surveillance cameras on the road leading to the big screen. Judging from his behavior, he should not be a curser, but if he is related to the victim, it would be a different matter."

"Curser?" Xuan Hao was a little confused by this new word that suddenly appeared.

"The evil sorcerer's intention." Nanami Kento explained concisely, and then continued, "I have already given the detailed arrangements to Ichichi. Please go investigate Yoshino Junpei."

"receive."

Hearing this, Xuanhao and Ichichi who was standing by nodded together.

"Come to think of it, I don't seem to know any assistants other than Mr. Yidizhi." Xuanhao looked at Yidizhi and complained.

"Because I'm the only one who knows you're still alive, that's a given." Ijichi sighed helplessly, "Okay, let's go."

"it is good."

Xuanhao agreed and walked out the door.

Ijichi waited for Xuanhao to leave, and before leaving, he turned back and asked Nanami Kento, "It's not 'to a certain extent', but you already know, right? The location of the criminal."

"Of course." Nanami Kento answered as a matter of course, "If the criminal wants, he can leave the scene without leaving a trace. And we were invited by the other party. The risk of sneaking in alone and the risk of taking Xuanhao with me, I just chose the former. Because he is still a child."

At this moment, Xuanhao, who had already walked out of the door, suddenly pushed the door open and said with a smile: "Teacher Qihai, please be careful on the road. I forgot to tell you just now."

Nanami Kento glanced at Xuanhao, adjusted his glasses, and thought that he was still a child. He said calmly, "I'm not a teaching staff, don't call me teacher."

"Then... Nanami."

"I'll beat you up."

  ···········

"found it."

Soon, Xuanhao and Ijichi crouched in the car and found their target, Junpei Yoshino.

"Huh? He seems to be wearing casual clothes. Isn't it class time now? He should be wearing school uniform, right?" Xuanhao asked with some confusion.

"It seems like he hasn't been to school recently." Ijichi seemed to have investigated the boy's background and explained.

"What should we do then?" Xuan Hao asked again.

"use this."

Ijichi pulled out a cage.

"This is... a cursed spirit!?"

Xuanhao looked at the things in the cage and was a little surprised.

"'Fly Head' is a low-level curse that's not even level four," Ijichi explained. "When we get to a deserted place, let them attack him."

"Huh!?" Xuan Hao was even more surprised when he heard the plan.

Ijichi explained the reason for doing so: "In the first case, if he is an ordinary person who cannot see the curse, please go and rescue him. In the second case, if he can see the curse but does not know how to deal with it, please save him as well, and then we will ask about the situation on the day of the incident. In the third case...if he uses magic to get rid of the cursed spirit, he must be arrested immediately."

"Use force?" Xuan Hao asked.

"Use force." Ijichi nodded affirmatively. "If it is a misjudgment, we will apologize to him later. However... if it is the fourth case, and Yoshino Junpei is a second-level sorcerer or above, we will temporarily retreat and reunite with Mr. Nanami."
