Curse Return: Demon Void Girl Doesn't Want to Be a Weakling

Mashiro retracted Murasame into her body, picked up Prison Gate Ritsu from the ground, and put it back in her pocket.

"Then we have no choice but to contact her."

Mashiro sighed; she had thought she could succeed.

"You know about angels?"

Tengen said calmly that she was no longer surprised that Mashiro knew anything.

“That’s right, the angel’s possessor—Kurasuka.” Mashiro nodded. “Her Jacob’s Ladder seems to be the only spell that can break the seal on the Prison Gate at this stage.”

Then, with a hint of hope, she asked Tengen, "Do you know Lai Xihua's exact location right now?"

"I don't know." Tianyuan shook her head. "I know she entered the Death and Annihilation Return Zone, but you'll have to find out which barrier area she's in yourself."

Tianyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "To share this feast with you, we must restore your glory and strength!"

"understood."

Mashiro nodded, feeling a bit of a headache.

Kurusu Hana can move freely between the barriers, his movement trajectory is unpredictable, making him extremely difficult to find.

But there was no other good way, so she turned and walked toward the exit.

As they approached the barrier wall, Tianyuan's voice came from behind them.

"I'm still very curious, why did you come out of the Shikigami Space in the first place?"

Mashiro stopped walking and didn't turn around.

"You saw it after all."

Tianyuan's voice echoed softly on the high platform of the Hongxing Palace: "Theoretically, I can observe all the affairs of the world from this Hongxing Palace."

She continued, "You only recently appeared in this world. Although I don't know the underlying principles, you are definitely not simple."

After saying this, Tianyuan remained silent for a moment before speaking: "I will spend the rest of my time maintaining the barrier, holding on for as long as possible. The Prison Gate is the last thing I can give you. Please forgive me!"

Mashiro stood in front of the barrier for a while, then nodded and said, "Understood."

The barrier cracked open in front of her, and Mashiro strode out.

In another flash, the entrance to the Star Palace closed behind her.

Tianyuan sat back down on the high platform, his four eyes closed.

The light of the incantation dimmed slightly, and Tianyuan's soft voice echoed in the empty Hongxing Palace.

"You are the biggest variable; everything is in your hands."

......

The alarm sounded at four in the morning.

All the loudspeakers in the college simultaneously emitted a sharp, long blast, and the motion-sensor lights in the corridor lit up one after another.

The sound of the dormitory door being pushed open came from all directions.

Accompanying this were the sounds of footsteps and the clanging of magical implements.

Mashiro opened her eyes in the chair; the map of the barrier distribution on the tablet screen was refreshing rapidly.

Red alerts were simultaneously triggered in all ten barrier zones.

Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, Kyushu.

The dense array of magical energy reactions seemed to continuously spread across the map.

The Death and Annihilation Return Tour has officially begun.

She stood up to head to the operations room, with Cong Yu already hanging from her waist, and Yu Men Jiang Li dangling in her pocket.

When I pushed open the door, Itsuji was already standing in the hallway.

His clothes were crooked and his hair was sticking up. Although he hadn't tidied himself up yet, he had already perked up.

Kugizaki ran over from the other side and greeted Mashiro.

Fushiguro Megumi walked out from the direction of the infirmary, buttoning up her cuffs as she went, with Junpei following behind her.

"Is it about to begin?" Kugizaki's voice sounded a little nervous.

"Yes, it's about to begin."

Mashiro walked through them and headed towards the main building.

"Everyone, head to the meeting room now. The assistant supervisor has already notified the sorcerers outside. Once everyone is here, we'll begin assigning tasks."

The lights were all on in the conference room on the third floor of the main building, and the senior councilors took their seats one after another.

Itadori, Kugizaki, Fushiguro Megumi, and Junpei stood on one side of the long table.

Mashiro sat in Gojo Satoru's seat, with a projection of a map of cursed power in front of her, ten barrier zones flashing red.

The meeting room door was pushed open.

Everyone looked towards the doorway.

Yuta Etsuko stood outside the door, still wearing the dark casual clothes he hadn't changed out of on the plane.

He had a backpack slung over his shoulder, but the zipper wasn't closed properly.

His face showed a slight weariness from the long flight, but his eyes were clear.

The katana hung at his waist, with old strips of cloth wrapped around its hilt.

He stood at the door for a few seconds, glanced around at everyone in the conference room, and then fixed his gaze on Mashiro.

"I'm back."

Mashiro nodded. "Come in and sit down."

"Twelve hours without sleep, just landed."

Upon hearing this, Yigu walked in, placed his backpack in the corner, and took his katana from his waist, leaning it against the armrest of his chair.

He sat down and stretched his shoulders.

"It's good that I made it."

After Mashiro finished speaking, she tapped her finger on the table, and the red light on the projector danced on everyone's faces.

"The Death and Annihilation Journey has just officially started."

Everyone in the conference room was watching the projector.

Yi Gu looked at the densely packed red dots on the map.

"This is what you call the return of death."

“Yes.” Mashiro stood up, her tone serious.

"Ten barrier zones cover the entire territory of Japan, and each barrier zone will automatically select participants."

"Non-sorcerers are forcibly given magical power, ancient sorcerers are resurrected through flesh-binding contracts, and everyone enters into a game of mutual slaughter."

She turned her gaze to all the sorcerers.

"Now let's start assigning tasks."

Chapter 154 Rules

Mashiro turned around, and the ten barrier zones on the projection were still flashing red.

She stared at the dense clusters of lights and remained silent for a few seconds.

Mashiro zoomed in on the projector. "Let me make it clear in advance, regular grouping is meaningless."

Kugizaki paused for a second, then asked, "What do you mean by 'meaningless'?"

“The entrance to the barrier for the Death Return is random,” Mashiro pointed to the red dot on the projection. “Each person will be automatically assigned a different location after entering. If you enter from Sendai, you might enter the barrier in Tokyo.”

A silence fell over the meeting room.

Yigu leaned his katana back against the armrest of his chair. "So what should we do?"

"We also have corresponding solutions to this situation."

After speaking, Mashiro paused for a moment and took out a communication puppet from the equipment box.

"The communication device with Kokichi has been tested in Shibuya and is working stably."

Mashiro gently tossed the round communication puppet into the air, where it rose into the air and landed back in Mashiro's palm.

"As you can see, it is small, lightweight, and easy to carry, while also being protected by a magical power so that it will not be easily damaged."

Mashiro tossed the communication puppet back into the equipment box with a "thud," and it was completely undamaged.

"So, we're going to bring the communication puppet into the barrier?"

After listening to Mashiro's words, Fushiguro Megumi thought for a while and then spoke.

“That’s right.” Mashiro nodded. “After entering the barrier, first spread the communication puppets within the barrier to find companions in the same barrier.”

"Of course, this may also fail; the communication disruption caused by the Death Return might be even higher than the account."

Mashiro continued, "At this point, we can only rely on the rules of Death and Resurrection itself."

"The rules of the Death Return journey itself?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the operations room became solemn.

“That’s right, the rules of the Death Return Tour.” Mashiro’s tone also became serious. “The most important one is the points system.”

"The so-called points system means that all swimmers have their own points: 5 points for sorcerers and 1 point for non-sorcerers."
