Chapter 1675: Special Grade Cursed Item (Eating too much will make you get angry)

"Duanmu Ai, 16 years old, is a student at Yangdong High School. She has appeared in several movies and won the Best Actor Award. She rarely shows up in public and doesn't even have an Instagram account. She is a well-known movie actor in Japan..."

As the hoarse voice fell, the white-bearded old man sitting on the chair coughed and looked at the blue-haired girl who was standing respectfully opposite him.

"Are you sure you're right?"

"Yes, it is!"

In response to the old man's question, the blue-haired girl, Kasumi Miwa, straightened her body and answered quickly.

"I can be sure of that. After all, her appearance is very special and others can't imitate it even if they want to."

"Um……………"

It was no wonder that Kasumi Miwa respected the old man so much, because the old man was the principal of the Kyoto Prefectural Jutsu High School. In order to deal with the cursed spirits, the sorcerers set up a school to train sorcerers, and Kasumi Miwa was selected to join the school for study and training because of her talent as a sorcerer.

"Is she a sorcerer?"

"I don't think so."

"Curse Master?"

"I, I don't know..."

Faced with the old man's repeated questions, Sanlun Xia seemed a little nervous.

"Ah, but I don't think she's a curser or sorcerer, because she asked me a lot of basic questions, such as what a cursed spirit is, what a spell is, and what a sorcerer is... It seems that she really knows nothing about our existence."

"So how did she defeat the cursed spirit? Didn't she use any spells?"

Ordinary people cannot see the cursed spirits at all, and even if a sorcerer wants to defeat the cursed spirits, he can either use spells or cursed objects.

"No... this, she used a knife."

"Knife?"

"Yes, a knife that is as red as blood..."

"oh?!"

Hearing this, the old man suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"you sure?"

"Yes, yes... That knife emits a faint light, and I feel like I'm going to be killed just by looking at it... It's definitely a first-grade... It might even be a special-grade cursed item!"

"A bright red knife...white hair and red eyes..."

"……………headmaster?"

The muscular man sitting next to him looked at the silent old man and asked curiously. In addition to Kasumi Miwa, there were several students from the Jujutsu High School who were also Jujutsu masters. They came here specially to listen to Kasumi Miwa's report and gathered together.

The old man was silent for a moment, then stood up.

"I want to show you something."

As he spoke, the old man walked to the wall of the study and opened the safe there. Then he took out a book that looked very old and slowly opened it.

This is not an ordinary book, but a diary from the old man's ancestor's family. According to this diary, the old man's ancestors were once members of an organization called the Demon Slayer Corps. At that time, this organization fought to eliminate evil spirits. Although according to the ancestors, with the death of the evil spirit master, all evil spirits have been destroyed. But in the old man's opinion, what the ancestors dealt with might just be some special cursed spirits.

However, the ancestor of their clan was just an ordinary logistician of the Demon Slayer Corps, who seemed to do only treatment and post-war work. Therefore, the fighting methods of the Demon Slayer Corps were not written in the diary. As for the breathing method used by the Demon Slayer Corps, the ancestor also said that he had no talent and could not learn it.

What a pity! If the breathing method could be passed down, perhaps it would be easier for today's sorcerers to face cursed spirits.

The old man shook his head, threw aside the thoughts that came to his mind, and then he opened his diary.

“……………Found it.”

Soon, the old man found this record in his diary.

During several hunts against the evil spirits they called "Upper String Demons", the ancestors recorded the appearance of a mysterious girl with long pale hair and bright red eyes. She was dressed very uniquely and held a bright red blade. She was not one of the nine pillars, but she had a terrifying strength far beyond the nine pillars. Those evil spirits who killed people like Kusuke, who could not even match the nine pillars, were like lambs to be slaughtered in front of her.

The girl called herself Duanmu Ai. After hunting down the lord of evil spirits, she disappeared from the sight of the Demon Slayer Corps and never appeared again.

She is petite and looks like a 13 or 14-year-old child at first glance. Her fighting style is extremely brutal, and even evil spirits tremble and wail in front of her. But when she doesn't speak, she gives people a delicate and fragile dreamy feeling...

Staring at the diary and the archival materials at hand, the old man frowned.

And the sword in the other person's hand... His ancestor once helped her maintain the weapon, and he remembered it very clearly.

[That was not her Nichirin Sword. I heard that she got it from a dead Demon Slayer. But when I saw that sword, I was also shocked. Although the Nichirin Sword will change color according to the characteristics of the user, this is the first time I have seen a color like this—red, as if it was condensed from blood, so dazzling that people dare not look directly at it. Just seeing that sword made me feel as if I could hear the wailing of the evil spirits killed by the sword... Even many years later, when I picked up the pen to record my memories again, the wailing was so vivid.]

[It’s as if… the souls of those evil spirits are imprisoned in this bright red blade]

"…………………"

After listening to the diary records read by the old man, several other students from the Jujutsu High School, including Kasumi Miwa, were stunned.

"But Principal, this happened a long time ago, right?"

"Ah, that happened over a hundred years ago."

"Normal people can't live that long, right?"

"Even if he can live that long, he can't possibly maintain his original appearance, right? Wouldn't that make him a vampire?"

"That's impossible. Miss Duanmu has made so many movies, and many of them were shot under the sun. If she was really a vampire, wouldn't she have turned into ashes long ago?"

"Maybe it's genetic? It's not strange for children to look like their ancestors."

"Well, there's no point in us arguing here."

The old man coughed and stopped the students from arguing.

"No matter what, she is very likely to possess a special-grade cursed item. I require you to monitor her 24 hours a day and find out her situation... What is she doing in Kyoto now?"

"filming!"

Speaking of this, Sanlun Xia immediately became excited.

"A big production that will be released simultaneously around the world! This is what I asked Miss Duanmu before! In fact, the reason why she went there was because the ruins were their filming site. It seems that there was an incident of cursed spirits attacking the staff before, so Miss Duanmu went back to check the situation..."

"As a big star, he can actually remove cursed spirits in secret? This is just like a plot in a movie!" The muscular man suddenly became excited, while the short-haired girl next to him looked at him helplessly.

"But we are not in a movie now, or do you think we are in a theater?"

"Wouldn't it be a good thing if we could recruit her to the Jujutsu High School?"

"That's impossible. He's a famous movie star. If he came to Jujutsu High School, he would definitely attract the attention of the media. Besides, he has fame, status, and money. Why would he want to do a thankless and dangerous job like a Jujutsu Master?"

"Even if she wanted to, she wouldn't have moved all the way to Kyoto. She came here to shoot a movie."

"Okay, let's not talk about this now."

The old man interrupted the chat which was gradually going off topic.

"Kamo."

"exist."

Hearing the old man's call, a black-haired boy with his eyes closed responded hurriedly.

"Zhenyi."

"Oh."

The short-haired girl who had been complained about before also nodded.

"You two are responsible for monitoring her. Be careful. No matter what happens, don't act rashly."

"Yes."

And so, the night passed and a new day began.

“I wonder if they will have any problems…”

Looking at the empty seats, Sanlun Xia felt somewhat uneasy.

"You don't need to worry so much."

Looking at the restless Miwa Kasumi, another girl sitting not far from her couldn't help but complain. She was petite, with blonde hair tied into two ponytails sticking up the sky, which made her look very unique.

"Xianji is a quasi-first-level sorcerer, and Sister Zhenyi is also the heir of the Zenin family. Although she is currently only a third-level sorcerer, her strength should not be underestimated. With the two of them working together to monitor, even if the opponent is a very powerful sorcerer, they should be able to escape unscathed."

“………………It would be nice if that’s the case.”

Hearing her companion's comfort, Sanlun Xia could only sigh silently. Only by facing Duanmu Huai in person could she feel the horror. At that time, Sanlun Xia really believed that she would die. Although as a sorcerer, Sanlun Xia had experienced several life-and-death battles, she had always fought for survival with all her strength.

However, the situation was completely different when facing the petite girl. There was no chance at all, and what awaited her was only despair and death.

Sanlun Xia had never felt the coming of death so clearly—her life was completely out of her own hands. The feeling of oppression and fear was simply indescribable in words.

Frankly speaking, she even had some psychological trauma. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai was kind to her later and met Sanlun Xia's request for taking photos and autographs...

But she definitely didn't want to face Duanmu Huai's murderous intent again.

I don’t know if Zhenyi and the others can do it, even though I have already warned them…

The two people in charge of surveillance were unaware of what Sanwa Kasumi was worried about. At this moment, they were outside the research institute, watching the actions carefully.

"Hey, so this is how movies are shot. It looks quite interesting."

Staring at the crew filming in the distance, Chanyuan Zhenyi watched with great interest.

"Don't forget our mission, Mayi."

Kamo, who was standing aside, still had his eyes closed, but did not forget to remind him.

"Don't worry, I won't forget her... Well, is that Duanmu Ai? Indeed, she is just like the intelligence said, petite and cute, and she doesn't look like a high school student at all. But she also looks very courageous when fighting, and obviously has some experience in martial arts... Come to think of it, I've seen her movie before."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but she plays a female ghost most of the time... To be honest, if she turned into a cursed spirit, it would be difficult to deal with her."

"Like Night Girl?"

“So you’ve seen it too?”

"Isn't watching horror movies a compulsory course for us in the Curse High School?"

"That's right."

The two chatted with each other, staring at the filming site in front of them. Of course, since the cursed spirits here had been removed, there was no harm. Except for the repeated NGs during filming, there was nothing unusual. Soon, a day passed.

"Well, it looks like we should go too."

Zenyuan Zhenyi stood up and stretched.

"From today's perspective, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual. Let's continue tomorrow..."

However, before Chanin Shinyi could finish his words, a voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

"Why, you guys are coming tomorrow?"

"——————!"

Hearing the voice, the surveillance duo turned around hurriedly, and then they were surprised to see Duanmu Huai standing not far in front of them, staring at them.

"The crew's filming is confidential, you two. This is not something I can show you casually."

"…………………"

"Forget it, now that I'm here..."

Duanmu Huai stared at the two of them and smiled.

"That person yesterday was my fan. I'm sorry to bully her, but I don't have any burden for you two who came here uninvited to monitor me..."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai slowly grasped the hilt of the sword.

"I didn't have much impression of the sorcerer when I heard Miss Sanlun talk about it before. Let me see what the so-called sorcerer can do!"
