Chapter 1679: Testing (Waiting for Dynasty Warriors this month)

Blue sky, white clouds.

The waves washed the beach, presenting a peaceful scene. However, the atmosphere here was not so peaceful.

In other words, quite tight.

"what happened!?"

A heavy voice echoed on the beach, filled with the anger and dissatisfaction of the questioner - but it was not a human. Although it had a body and limbs similar to those of humans, it could be seen from the kettle head that it was obviously not a human.

But it's a cursed spirit.

"Why did Hanamika die? What happened? Wasn't Gojo Satoru blocked outside the barrier?!"

Kettlehead yelled angrily, but the other figures beside him did not respond. After a while, a man in a monk's robe smiled and clapped his hands.

"Okay, everyone, there's no point in being impatient here now. The important thing is that we have successfully achieved our goal and can start the next plan."

"What did you say?"

Hearing the words of the man in monk's robes, Kettle Head widened its only eye in anger and stared at the other party viciously.

"Are you saying that Hanamika's death doesn't matter?"

"How can it be unimportant? At least they accomplished their mission, didn't they? If it weren't for their restraint, we wouldn't have been able to get what we wanted."

That's right, the attack on the exchange meeting was just a cover to attract the attention of Gojo Satoru and others, and their real purpose was to sneak into the Jujutsu College and take away the special-grade cursed objects stored therein - the finger of Ryomen Sukuna and the Nine Phases of the Curse Fetus.

Originally, the attack team consisting of two curse masters and a special-grade curse spirit was planned to be enough to put the opponent in a dilemma. However, something unexpected happened. Hanami, the special-grade curse spirit, was killed, and the two curse masters were also captured. It can be said that the entire attack team was wiped out.

But fortunately, they completed their mission.

"I mean, it's useless for you to get angry here."

The man in the monk's robe did not show any nervousness in the face of Kettle-Head's anger. Instead, he opened his arms with a smile.

"It is true that Gojo Satoru is a special-grade sorcerer, but there are more than one special-grade sorcerer, so it is predictable that Hanamikaze will be removed."

At this point, the monk-robed man narrowed his eyes.

"In fact, I have obtained an interesting piece of information. Just recently, the Spellcaster Organization approved the application of a new special-grade Spellcaster."

"You mean, that special-grade sorcerer killed Hanamika?"

The kettle-head glared at the man in monk robes, who chuckled.

"The likelihood is high."

"Who is it!? Tell me, I'll kill him!"

"You may have heard of this name—Duanmu Ai."

"…………………"

When the monk-robed man said this name, the beach suddenly fell into a strange silence.

"I have certainly heard that name somewhere."

"Looks like a movie actor?"

"Yes."

The monk-robed man nodded.

"Duanmu Ai, a movie actor, has appeared in several horror films."

"Ah, I remembered."

Hearing this, a man next to him whose face was full of stitches like Frankenstein snapped his fingers.

"I've seen the movie she starred in, it's pretty good. Is she also a sorcerer?"

"I don't know that."

The man in monk robes said that he didn't have much information.

"Her application was approved only recently, and she wasn't a student with high spell skills before. But this isn't surprising. There are always some special people who get special approval qualifications for various reasons... Well, it reminds me of an old friend."

The monk-robed man raised his head and looked up at the sky. For him, the failure was still vivid in his mind. Just a year ago, a high school student also entered the Jujutsu High School, and he was rated as a special-grade Jujutsu master as soon as he entered.

The man in monk robes still remembered his name—Otsutsukota.

Of course, his situation is somewhat special. Rather than being a powerful sorcerer, Yuta Otsutsukota was cursed and entangled by a very powerful special-grade cursed spirit. The cursed spirit named Rika was Yuta Otsutsukota's childhood sweetheart, but she died unexpectedly. After her death, Rika turned into a cursed spirit and stayed with Yuta Otsutsukota, and would attack those who tried to hurt Yuta Otsutsukota.

Three second-level sorcerers and one first-level sorcerer tried to kill Rika, but were all killed.

Therefore, Rika was rated as a special-grade cursed spirit, and Otsukotsu Yuta, who was with her, was also rated as a special-grade sorcerer.

At that time, the man in monk robes tried to win him over to join his side, but unfortunately... he failed in the end.

Oh, no, that's not me.

Thinking back to this, the man in monk robes gave a strange smile and then withdrew his thoughts.

"So, although it's rare for someone to suddenly appear and be rated as a special-grade sorcerer, it does happen. Maybe that young lady also suddenly awakened such power for some reason and was rated as a special-grade one. She seems to be only sixteen years old now. Maybe the sorcery world plans to enroll her in the sorcery school, so it's possible that she also participated in the exchange meeting. If that's the case..."

"That means there's no point in us locking Gojo Satoru out."

Kettle Head snorted indignantly, interrupting the monk in robes.

"No matter what, Hanamiya is dead! What should we do now? Should we still carry out our plan?"

"Of course." The man in monk robes walked over to Kettle Head and patted it on the shoulder.

"According to my experience, a sorcerer who suddenly awakens like this may be dangerous, but she is also very unstable. Well... we really can't let her become a stumbling block for us. What do you think?"

The monk turned his head and looked at the man with stitching thread not far away. The latter was silent for a moment and made a decision.

"The plan remains the same, but it needs to be slightly modified... This unstable factor must also be taken into account. On the day of the plan, we must find a way to get her out of the way. It would be best if we can kill her."

Anyway, everything is ready.

Time moves forward second by second, and it is the same for everyone.

"That's right, Xiao Ai."

Yanai was lying on the table with a confused look on his face.

"How are you going to spend Christmas Eve?"

"Christmas Eve?"

After hearing Yanaijian's question, Duanmu Huai thought about it for a while.

"I really want to live with Ruby, Mai Akane and the others..."

Everyone spends Christmas Eve together, eating, drinking, singing and dancing, having fun - unfortunately, this is a holiday that only ordinary people can celebrate. For artists, it is completely different.

"Huh? Isn't it?"

"You underestimate the artists."

Duanmuhuai sighed silently.

"B Komachi will be participating in a live variety show on Christmas Eve, Mai will be participating in the radio station's Christmas countdown, Akane will be participating in the TV station's Christmas Eve event, and Kana will be the host of a charity program..."

That's right, the more times like this, the busier the artists are. Duanmu Huai is fine, but the others have to work non-stop since the early morning. The more popular the artist is, the busier they are at this time.

"Well……………"

After hearing Duanmu Huai's explanation, Yanami and Chitanda were speechless.

“Are artists so busy?”

"Yeah, especially during holidays, especially those damn holidays like Halloween, Christmas Eve, and Christmas, I'm so busy. So, what activities do you have?"

"I'm going to have dinner with my family on Christmas Eve."

Well, this is very common.

"I, I also want to attend the banquet held at home..."

Chitanda spoke softly, saying that her family was also from the landlord class.

"What about you?"

"I……………?"

In response to Yanaijian's question, Duanmu Huai silently took out his mobile phone and checked the day's schedule.

“………………Go home and play games online?”

It was past midnight when the others returned home after work. Duanmu Huai probably thought that they were exhausted and went to sleep directly after returning home. It seemed that she really had nothing special to do. However, she still had to remember to send Christmas gifts and cakes to the hospitalized Hoshino Ai. Although she would definitely not eat them, it was a ritual after all, and Ruby would be very annoying if she didn't do it. She was getting busier and busier now, and she definitely couldn't spare the time, so she had to rely on Duanmu Huai who was slacking off.

"Wow, it's so pitiful to see Ai-chan like this."

"can you?"

"Because it's Christmas Eve, it must be lonely to spend it alone. After all, everyone is either reuniting with their families or hanging out with their lovers... Hahaha, by the way, Kusuke and Karen have booked a restaurant for that night. What are they going to eat to replenish their energy? What are they going to do after replenishing their energy?"

Well, Yanami is still trapped in the delusion of the Minotaur, just like before. However, Duanmu Huai and Chitanda are used to it. At the beginning, they would comfort Yanami a few words, but now, the two of them will only protect her with warm eyes. After all, when Yanami can't stand the torture of the Minotaur in her mind, she will take the initiative to escape back to the real world.

"Ding dong."

Just as Duanmu Huai was admiring Yanaijian's usual interesting performance, a text message came on his mobile phone. Duanmu Huai took out the text message and read it.

"Oh, that's good. I have to be busy on Christmas Eve too."

"Work?"

"Yes."

Duanmu Huai waved his cell phone at Chitanda and Yanami.

"See, I told you it would be very busy during the holidays."

"So Xiao Ai is going to be on the show too? What show? I'll go watch it!"

Hearing this, Yanami seemed to have gotten rid of the sad fantasy he had on Christmas Eve and returned to the real world.

"Well...it's more like a game than a show."

"game?"

"Yes."

Duanmu Huai chuckled.

"A game to remove evil spirits."
