Chapter 1680 Trap (I have to shovel snow again today, so annoying)

The day before Christmas.

"Sister, are you going out today too?"

Looking at Duanmu Huai who had put on his coat and was ready to go out, Ruby asked curiously.

"Well, there's a little bit to do."

"Will you come back tonight?"

"Of course. So where is your LIVE?"

"At Mark City in Shibuya, this year's last Christmas Eve LIVE, everyone was working hard."

Ruby gave Duanmu Huai a thumbs up with a smile as bright as the sun.

"After all, we're going to the Budokan next year!"

"Um………"

Duanmu Huai didn't say much, just nodded.

"What time does it end today?"

"About ten o'clock."

"Then I'll pick you up?"

"Hey? My sister is coming to pick me up?"

Ruby widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"I thought you just stayed at home and were lazy, sister."

"It depends on the situation. If I'm done here, I'll pick you up early. Remember to call me."

"Okay! Don't forget the cake and gift for mom!"

"Can not forget."

Ruby waved to Duanmu Huai, then got into the office car and left. Duanmu Huai waited for a while, and then a car drove up to her side and stopped. Then Duanmu Huai opened the door and got in, and then the car started and drove forward.

"Let's go to the hospital first, and then we can deal with today's troubles. By the way, tell me what this is about?"

"Ok."

The person in charge of driving is an assistant supervisor. They are similar to assistants. Although they can see the cursed spirits and cast tents, they do not have the ability to fight against evil spirits. So they are more like assistants, doing all kinds of preliminary intelligence collection and preparation work for the curse master.

The person driving for Duanmu Huai was the assistant supervisor Yuanye, a middle-aged woman in her forties who looked like an ordinary office worker - or rather, she was simply an ordinary office worker.

While driving, Ms. Yuanye also quickly reported the mission objectives to Duanmu Huai.

The curse occurred in a village called Inunaki Village. It is now just an ordinary village, but it was different in the past. Because the place where Inunaki Village is located is dry and rainy, it is difficult to grow crops. Therefore, Inunaki Village has lived by catching and hunting wild dogs for generations. In order to appease the spirits of these wild dogs, Inunaki Village also built a shrine to worship them.

Of course, it is more accurate to say that it is a seal rather than an offering—then the next question becomes simple.

The reason for the accident this time was that the seal was broken.

The reason why it was discovered is very simple, that is, the whole process was broadcast live.

That's right, in fact, a broadcaster had nothing to do and went to Inunaki Village, and then broadcasted himself sneaking into the shrine and then opening the seal. After opening the seal, the live broadcast was interrupted with screams. The relevant personnel of the Jujutsu High who noticed that something was wrong immediately reported it, and then the intelligence personnel immediately went to the local area, and found that the entire village had been completely swallowed up. The initial judgment was that it was a special-grade curse.

Since the situation is urgent, please ask Duanmu Huai to take action.

"Eat a few dogs and build a shrine to appease them?"

Duanmu Huai was flipping through the information in his hand, looking like an old man on the subway.

"Then there are shrines everywhere for those who eat cows, chickens and pigs. What on earth are these people thinking?"

Duanmu Huai shook his head speechlessly while complaining. If eating dog really brought forth cursed spirits, wouldn't Yulin and Peixian have already brought forth dog demons?

What's even more speechless is that the setting of this world is that there are no curse spirits originally, but curse spirits are created by people's thoughts, ideas and emotions. In other words, if the people in that village simply preyed on wild dogs as pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, etc., nothing would happen at all.

The result is, you just eat it, but you still want to offer sacrifices after eating, which is simply asking for trouble.

"By the way, what's the situation with that anchor? Why did he go and uncover the seal?"

"According to our investigation, the anchor was using vegetarianism and environmentalism as selling points for the live broadcast."

"oh……………"

That's fine.

After a three-hour drive, Duanmu Huai finally arrived at Quanming Village.

This looked like an ordinary village, at least at first glance. From a distance, the village was empty. The surroundings had long been blocked by the sorcerers. Fortunately, this place was originally very remote, so nothing special had happened so far.

"by the way."

Duanmu Huai got out of the car, looked at the village in front of him, and asked.

"What would you do if everyone inside died?"

"Fortunately this is in a remote suburb, so we can say that the village was damaged by mountain torrents and mudslides... We can still conceal the information to some extent." "Huh... So that's it..."

Duanmu Huai nodded, said nothing more, and just snapped his fingers.

"Take action."

"Ok."

After hearing what Duanmu Huai said, Ms. Yuanye's expression became serious. Then she stretched out her hand and made a gesture.

"Born from darkness, darker than black."

Following Ms. Toono's spell, a dark barrier descended from the sky, covering the entire village, while Duanmu Huai picked up a knife and waved his hand.

"It will be done in an hour."

After saying this, he walked into the village without looking back.

The whole village was dead silent, without a single soul in sight.

Duanmu Huai carried a knife and strolled through the village, looking around. Judging from the situation in this village, everything seemed to be in order. According to the report, the anchor sneaked into the shrine in the middle of the night to open the seal. At that time, the villagers were all asleep, so of course they would not react. By the time they noticed, it might be too late.

Oh, no, it's too late.

“Woo…”

A sound like the barking of a wild dog sounded, and Duanmu Huai stopped and looked forward. Then he saw a twisted black shadow walking out of the alley next to him - it was a person, and also a dog.

The reason for this is very simple, that is, his body can still be seen as a human form, but other than that, the rest of the body has been distorted. On their faces, their mouths arched forward and turned into long, dog-like mouths, while their faces still retain the human form. The same goes for their hands and legs. Originally, human arms are shorter than legs. But now, his arms are almost as long as his legs.

This reminded Duanmu Huai of a hairless dog he had seen on TV before. This person now looked very similar to that hairless dog.

But... this is not the level of being possessed by a cursed spirit.

Well, speaking of which, Duanmu Huai remembered that after the previous exchange meeting, Gojo Satoru once found him and told him about a special cursed spirit—whose appearance was no different from that of a human, and whose entire body was sewn like Frankenstein. According to Gojo Satoru, that cursed spirit had the ability to transform the human body at will.

There was a first-level sorcerer who fought with him before, but he escaped.

Is that guy here?

Duanmu Huai collected his thoughts and looked at the dog-man in front of him. The latter stared at Duanmu Huai with his mouth open.

“Please…save me…”

A hoarse, painful voice emerged from it. If other students with high sorcery skills saw this scene, they would probably be furious, or even extremely angry.

However, for Duanmu Huai, this was nothing. After all, compared to the life forms that were distorted by the subspace pollution, this was still somewhat acceptable.

Compared to the unfortunate guys who were eroded by the past, they are all handsome.

"Don't worry, I will save you."

Duanmu Huai said as he drew his sword. At the same time, hundreds of almost identical dog-men appeared from all directions, standing on rooftops, in alleys, and on the side of the street, staring at Duanmu Huai like real wild dogs.

Then the battle begins.

The transformed dogs swarmed forward with roars, opened their bloody mouths, stretched out their claws, and tried desperately to kill the prey in front of them.

But all they had to face was the blood-red sword light.

Duanmu Huai walked forward, neither too fast nor too slow, with the sword in his hand blazing. At the moment when the dogs rushed over, the sword light instantly turned into bright red stars shining all over the sky, exploding like blooming fireworks, covering everything.

Then, the sword light disappeared.

Duanmu Huai sheathed his sword and continued to walk forward, but unlike before, there were no living creatures on the street now. Only bodies chopped into pieces and smelly blood remained.

Duanmu Huai didn't even look at the body parts. He continued walking forward, shaking his head and humming a song.

All of this was seen clearly by Kettle Head who was hiding nearby.

What kind of monster is that!?

Looking at Duanmu Huai, Shuihutou could hardly believe his eyes. In fact, this curse incident was a trap to lure Duanmu Huai away. They needed to ensure that no special-grade sorcerer could support Gojo Satoru in a short period of time. Only in this way could they achieve their goal.

To get a special-level sorcerer to take action, they needed a very clear reason and goal. Fortunately, they also had some connections with the top sorcerers. Therefore, after creating this incident, they could naturally designate Duanmu Huai to handle this curse incident.

To this end, they even used a finger of Ryomen Sukuna to catalyze the Inugami curse here.

Although it was just a newborn special-grade cursed spirit, in Kettle Head's opinion, it was enough to deal with a fledgling special-grade sorcerer.

Not to mention, it also asked its companions to transform all the humans here into dog-men in order to shake the other party's mentality.

But...what the hell is this guy!?

Kettle Head stared at the street in front of him in amazement, unable to speak. According to Kettle Head's experience, sorcerers are very comrade-aware. When they see their fellow human beings being twisted, ravaged, trampled, and turned into inhuman monsters, they will be extremely angry and will definitely want to use all means to make the curse spirit pay the price.

But...why isn't this guy like this?!

Facing the humans transformed into dog-men, he did not even hesitate or hesitate, and was as cold and cruel as a machine. However, his expression was very calm, as if in the eyes of this sorcerer, these humans transformed into monsters were nothing at all!

What the hell is this guy?

Kettle Head stared at Duanmu Huai's back, clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.

It seems that this guy is not easy to deal with, but I am not without a backup plan.

Don't worry, Hua Yu, I will definitely kill this sorcerer and avenge you!
