Edogawa Satoru who wanted to be a detective is not a good sorcerer

"I heard you resigned?"

Ichiro Watanabe turned around suddenly, but there was nothing in the shadow.

Watanabe breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if it was due to too much pressure and he was hallucinating. He took out the key, opened the door, and then ran into Ling Han's blue eyes.

His legs went limp and he fell to the ground.

haven't seen you for a long time.
The blue eyes narrowed and smiled at him crookedly.

“Go, Gojo Satoru!” The man backed away with his hands. “I was dragged into the confrontation between you and the higher-ups by accident. Your shrinking is really none of my business. If you want revenge, please find someone else!”

[You thought I was Gojo Satoru? Are we really that similar?]
The boy waved his hand, and the threads of cursed energy bound the man's limbs and dragged him into the room, where there were two unconscious people on the sofa.

"Lian! Wu Jing!" Ichiro Watanabe wailed.

Edogawa Satoru was puzzled: "Your wife and children? Why are you so worried? Aren't you having a great time cheating on your wife?"

The man's pupils shrank: "How do you know?!" Watanabe immediately turned around to look at the two people who had fainted, but they showed no signs of waking up.

"You...are not the shrunken Gojo Satoru?" the man said with certainty, "He won't pay attention to such things. You are not Gojo Satoru! Who are you! Do you know who I am?!"

eh?

[Because you're not Gojo Satoru, you're not afraid of me?]
The boy used his magical power to pull the man up: "Are you ordering me?"

This was the first time he had seen someone so arrogant even though his life was in the hands of others.

"I want you to help me do something. If you don't agree--" Edogawa Satoru looked around, pointed at the woman lying on the ground, then moved his finger to point at the child held by the woman, and finally took Watanabe into the bedroom and pointed at the baby on the bed.

The man remained silent, with only fear in his eyes.

He threw the man to the ground, his eyes filled with confusion and disgust: "You shout loudly, but you don't care no matter who I point at... Should I call you a scumbag?"

Cheating, not caring about his family, everything really hits his breaking point.

Edogawa Satoru was too lazy to argue with him: "Master, thank you for your help." He took out the iron cage from the mouth of the cursed spirit and released one hand of the master trapped in the cage.

Watanabe Ichiro was an ordinary curse supervisor who could sense cursed power and see cursed spirits, but had no fighting power. And the cage contained the most intense pressure he had ever felt.

This feeling - is a special grade curse spirit!

He watched helplessly as the curse spirit touched his head. He was so nervous that he almost fainted, but he couldn't, and he trembled in pain!
The demon in front of him was still whispering: "This is a curse that can change the soul. It has buried a time bomb in your head. If you don't do what I say, it will-bang~"

The demon opened his hands and simulated his head exploding.

“As long as... you don’t kill me... I’m willing to do anything…” The man fell to the ground, sobbing.

Edogawa Satoru laughed happily.

[Doesn't he doubt that I didn't do anything?]
It's really fun to see the fox taking advantage of the tiger's power.

The real person who was locked back in the cage also laughed and thought to himself, don’t you doubt what I actually did?

……

Ichiro Watanabe woke up, the sun was shining brightly, and he was like mud rotting in the light.

"bang bang bang-"

There was a loud knock on the door.

The guard at the door frowned and walked over with annoyance but helplessness: "Mr. Watanabe, what can I do for you?"

"I want to see Gojo Satoru!"

"What?" The guard didn't hear the sound in the room clearly.

The door was banging against each other, and the frequency of the collisions became faster and faster. The door that had been cursed was suddenly knocked open in a short while.

The guard had never encountered such a situation before, but he calmly suppressed Mr. Watanabe.

"I want to see Gojo Satoru!" Watanabe shouted.

The guard tried to comfort him first: "The master of the house is on a mission. Before he left, he instructed us to ask you when you wake up whether you have been restrained. If you want to see the master of the house, you have to wait until the master's mission is over."

The pain from the swelling in his brain suddenly disappeared. Watanabe was pressed to the ground and slowly calmed down: "I was threatened by Edogawa Satoru and put under restraint. Because of outside interference, the restraint is not strong. Edogawa Satoru wanted to kill your patriarch. He sent me here to test the Gojo family and to find out Gojo Satoru's weaknesses."

"Please let me know some random information and then let me go."
He can hardly bear the pressure anymore.

The guard complained: "What's the point of sending you here? You want to sow discord between Master Xiaowu and the master of the family. This excuse is too lame."

He was often sent to the high school to protect Lord Edogawa Satoru. How could he not know what a good, polite, simple and lovely child Lord Satoru was?
Ichiro Watanabe closed his eyes in pain.

……

The haunted house is divided into two floors plus an outer corridor.

After this period of training, Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara have a clear understanding of Edogawa Satoru's physique. Even if Satoru exercises every day, his muscles will not grow, and may even atrophy due to over-training.

After sharing their concerns with Gojo Satoru, they decided to let Gojo be in charge of the outer corridor which was closer to the tent and safer, while Fushiguro Kugisaki would be in charge of one floor of the demon house.

Safer?

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows, put his middle finger on his sunglasses, and asked Edogawa Satoru: "What do you think, Satoru~"

Edogawa Satoru: …

Don't think that you can make me ignore your middle finger just because you speak in a disgusting tone.

"I also can."

Ichichi had already set up his tent: "I wish you good luck in martial arts."

All you can see within the cordon are the remains of the burned library, and once you enter the tent, you can see part of the haunted house.

There are corridors on the outside. When you push open the door of the ghost house, you will see a tilted wooden house in the middle. Half of the house is sunken in the ground, and it looks like a brick that has fallen into the water or an animal that has crawled out of the mud.

At present, most of the Ghost House is still under the seal. All they have to do is to lift the seal and destroy the Ghost House.

Kugisaki is in charge of the second floor.

"It's not very high. Lend me your hand."

Fushiguro Megumi nodded.

She supported her feet on Fushiguro Megumi's hands, stepped up with her legs, grabbed the railing on the second floor, and climbed up to the second floor.

"How is it?" Fushiguro Megumi shouted.

But there was no response.

He and Xiaowu shouted a few more times, especially loudly, but Kugisaki never answered them.

Something is not right... Can Gojo-sensei really be trusted?
Fushiguro Megumi first calmed himself down, then said to Edogawa Satoru: "I'll go upstairs to have a look too. If there's still no response after I go up, you go outside and look for someone."

Before leaving, he chose to comfort Xiao Wu: "Don't worry, although Gojo Satoru is not a good person, he said it's safe, so he shouldn't lie." Edogawa Satoru: "Is his safety the same level as ours?"

Megumi Fushiguro:......

They became even more worried.

But the time has come to act.

Megumi Fushiguro summoned the Shikigami Nue and took him upstairs. Edogawa Satoru continued to talk to him, but when Megumi Fushiguro landed on the second floor of the demon house, the voice stopped abruptly.

Is it isolating the sound or is it isolating the people?

As agreed, Edogawa Satoru immediately turned around and prepared to call for help. At least he didn't want his other classmates to experience what Yuji had experienced.

but.

Edogawa Satoru's pupils shrank.

[The six eyes are not omnipotent, they can only analyze ordinary things and spells.]
The gate that was supposed to be there… was gone.

Xiao Wu reached out his hand and touched it. His eyes told him that the door should be here, but his hand felt a wall.

Ghosts? Witchcraft?

He took out his cell phone, but there was no signal.

He hammered the wall hard, but he was the only one who felt the pain, not the wall. He tried to climb over the wall, but every time he was about to touch the edge of the wall, the wall suddenly grew taller, so close yet so far away.

"But there was no attack. Perhaps this is what the Great Demon King meant by 'safety'."

He tried to force a smile and returned to the central house only to find that the door on the first floor was also locked.

Thank you, my legs are too short to jump to the second floor.

Edogawa Satoru had no choice but to explore the corridor of the demon house to see if he could find a way to go upstairs. At least for now, the demon house would not hurt anyone.

The corridor was not closed, with pillars every ten steps and a pavilion every ten pillars. All the outer walls were painted with thick dirt, which could be quickly restored by Edogawa Satoru using magic to penetrate.

This haunted house is like a living thing without breathing or heartbeat.

As Xiao Wu walked along, he found several special books that the supervisor asked them to find.

When you walk to the back of the ghost house, you will see a cherry forest with bright red and tender pink cherry blossoms dotted on the branches.

However, Japan's cherry blossoms usually bloom in April and May.

"It's worthy of being a haunted house..." Edogawa Satoru praised.

He took a few more steps forward, and his feet suddenly sank. He squatted down and saw a shoe print that was several sizes larger than his feet. Looking forward, his eyes gradually saw a path leading deep into the woods.

Following the route, he came to the end of the cherry blossom forest and saw a wooden house hidden among the cherry trees.

[I seem to have walked out of the library?]
He knocked on the door and pushed it open. The room was filled with a musty smell, and all the edges were covered with moss. In the center of the master bedroom was a painting of a young man dancing with a sword. The ink was blurred by moisture, and only the boy's eyes in the painting were bright and full of heroism.

"Isn't he handsome?"

Edogawa Satoru looked back, but saw nothing.

After turning several corners, he walked out of the back door. He touched the back of his neck and found it was wet, but the light was dim in the cherry blossom forest and he couldn't see clearly what it was.

"I hope it's not blood. Clothes will be difficult to wash if blood clots!" Edogawa Satoru sighed.

"You and your friend are so brave, you are not afraid at all~"

The sound came from far away.

My eyes became dazed for a moment, and I could clearly see the end of the cherry blossom forest moving away rapidly. In the distance, there was a sturdy tree with a pale beauty sitting on it.

[It’s an illusion… and it’s a visual deception that directly affects the eyes. No wonder I can see the monster’s tail but can’t see the problem with this haunted house.]
[If you fail to distinguish the illusion, you will keep walking until you leave a hole as deep as the shoe print in front of you.]
"You are so cute," said the beautiful ghost. "Come here, I can grant you a wish."

"No."

"Come here~"

"No."

"You can't fucking get through!"

The female ghost slammed the table and said, "I'm granting you a wish and you don't even need it. Don't be so shameless!" She waved her hand and a cold wind pushed Edogawa Satoru in front of her.

Considering that the female ghost did not attack, Edogawa Satoru did not want to use the technique for the time being, in case he did not have enough cursed energy later.

"It is said that you must go through despair before your wish can come true." Edogawa Satoru asked, "I don't think I have experienced that yet? It's not appropriate to give me a wish so easily."

"Hehehe." She laughed without explaining, "You can get a message from me. But only one."

"information?"

The female ghost opened her forehead and said: "I was a mountain woman in my previous life. I know people's hearts. I know you want to know about your brother."

Edogawa Satoru was still smiling, his eyes narrowed, like his brother, and he tried hard to control his hands from shaking and clenching into fists.

"Edogawa Ranpo has a wish that he wants to fulfill. In order to fulfill this wish, he chooses to stay away from you."

"My brother won't stay away from me!" Edogawa Satoru taunted, "If my brother wants to do something, he can do it himself. Why make up such a lie?"

The ghost girl raised one corner of her mouth and said, "He can't fulfill this wish by himself. In the next message, I will tell you why he can't fulfill it. And the next message... hehehe~ keep it a secret."

"If you want more news," she waved her hands, and the cherry blossom forest was shrouded in mist, "you will see countless illusions. Break through them and come to the first floor of the Haunted House to find me."

The ghost girl disappeared.

Edogawa Satoru felt extremely hot, the heat burning from his heart, like an angry villain forging iron in his heart.

Hey, hey, hey.

Each cry was louder than the last, and the rising anger flowed through the blood, breaking through the repression and stirring up the heat of anger throughout the body.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. He had never experienced such a hot emotion before.

He sped up his exploration of the corridor, preparing to go to the first floor.

Now Edogawa Satoru just wanted to beat up that female ghost.

How dare that female ghost casually comment on my brother's actions? Even if what she said was true, my brother must have his own reasons. He just needs to support her unconditionally.

Just fine.

……if.

...It would be better if I could reveal a little bit to him.

[Edogawa Satoru is very well behaved.]
