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

Upon hearing that non-warlocks also had points, Tiger Staff's expression changed.

He said in a heavy tone, "So you're saying there's a high possibility that someone inside might slaughter a large number of ordinary people for points?"

"That's right, and the tomb is full of strange creatures, and the people there are all living in it. They are all living in it, and they are all living in it!"

Mashiro looked into Itadori's eyes, nodded, and said, "Under these conditions, being stripped of one's magic means death."

Tiger Cane slammed his fist on the chair, stood up, and said with slightly red eyes, "Isn't that just forcing people to kill each other?!"

"Calm down, Yuujin." Mashiro pressed his palm down, gesturing for Itadori to sit down.

"Sorry... I got agitated." Itachi sat down and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

"As Hisahito Itsuryu said, 'The sound of the sword is so thin!'"

Mashiro looked around; everyone's face showed some anger.

She nodded slightly. She was quite satisfied with the current leadership; at least there were no people who disregarded human life.

Mashiro cleared his throat and continued, "Therefore, in order to avoid such situations as much as possible, the following rules are of utmost importance."

She held up a finger, drawing everyone's attention, and then said, "Spending one hundred points allows you to propose a new rule to the game administrators. As long as the new rule does not cause the game to stagnate in the long term, the administrators must accept it."

"We can add rules?" Bone was a little surprised, then thought for a moment, "The administrator you're talking about is...?"

"No, such a grand ceremony as the Return of the Dead is too elaborate for the sake of the dead. It's a ritual performed by a powerful force, a ritual that requires immense power and resources!"

Mashiro shook her head. "So you don't need to worry anymore!"

"I understand."

Hearing Mashiro's explanation, Otsuko breathed a sigh of relief; he had been worried about...

"So, what rules should we add to this?"

Rakuganji tapped his cane, his gaze fixed on Mashiro.

Mashiro fell silent, lost in thought, and then said, "Given the current situation, the first priority is that the necessary points must be tradable. This will ensure that we don't kill anyone and our spells aren't taken away."

"Then swimmers with enough points can exit the Death and Return Swim, and after that, communication can be established between the various barriers."

Mashiro fell silent again at this point. The rule of free entry and exit from the barrier shouldn't be necessary; she should be able to enter and exit freely on her own.

Instead of spending 100 points on this, you might as well keep them; they might come in handy later.

Thinking of this, Mashiro nodded: "These are the three points, of which the tradability of points is the most important."

The people below the stage looked at each other in surprise, not expecting that Mashiro had already thought of all this.

After a moment of silence, some people started to flatter him.

"As expected of Lord Kujo, he was able to come up with a solution in such a short time."

"Yes, yes, they easily accomplished what we couldn't, which is admirable and inspiring!"

Mashiro smirked and pressed her hand down, silencing them.

"There are still things we can do before that; not everyone has to join the Death Return Tour today."

Nocturne Masamichi lowered his hands, which had been crossed in front of his mouth: "What do you mean?"

"There are a few things we can do in groups. The first is to find people with combat capabilities to come back, and the second is to protect Tianyuan."

As Mashiro spoke, she turned her gaze to Rakuganji: "I'll borrow someone from your Kyoto school."

"Who?" Leyan Temple asked, leaning on his cane.

He was a little puzzled. Did anyone at their Kyoto school help him find someone?

“Zen Temple True Yi, tell her to come over today.”

Mashiro summoned Mayi not because she was interested in her magic techniques.

She summoned Zhenyi to prevent the Zen-in family from doing the same thing as the original work.

If you put Maki Mai and Megumi Fushiguro together, even if the Zenin family wanted to take action, they would have to think twice about whether they could win.

Leyan Temple nodded, took out his phone, found a number, and pressed the call button.

"Zen-in Shin'i, I'm leaving for Tokyo College now. I'm leaving right now. I want to see you today."

A lazy female voice came from the other end of the phone, slightly hoarse from being woken up.

"Old man, do you know what time it is?"

Leyan Temple gave a light hum and said, "Four in the morning, just in time to catch the carriage."

Zhenyi was silent for a moment, and the rustling sound of the bedding moving came through the microphone.

Mayi sat up in bed: "...Okay, but at least tell me what it is?"

"Kujou Mashiro is looking for you. Ask her when you get there."

Zhenyi was silent for a few more seconds, then asked, "Really?"

Would I lie to you?

After finishing his sentence, Rakuganji hung up the phone and nodded to Mashiro.

Chapter 155 Grouping

Mashiro looked at Rakuganji: "I thought I'd have to use some words."

"Given the current situation, I will naturally cooperate fully."

After speaking, Leyan Temple remained silent for a while before saying, "The Zen-in family is currently in turmoil. Zen-in Naoki died while fighting a special-grade cursed spirit."

"Huh?" Mashiro was stunned for a moment. Zenji Naobi was dead?

How did that old man die if he hadn't encountered Tuogen and Louhu?

"You do not know?"

Leyan Temple was also stunned for a moment. "After killing the cursed spirit, he did not expect that the cursed spirit would eventually self-destruct and be blown up."

"No, there are really people who die like this?"

Mashiro sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation; she really didn't know what to say!

"The position of patriarch is currently vacant. Some people within the Zen Temple family are hoarding magical artifacts, some are trying to win over members of the branch families, and some want to take advantage of the chaos to put a direct descendant in the position of patriarch as a puppet."

Rakuenji returned to the main topic, "Mai and Maki are direct blood relatives, and it would be dangerous for them to be separated now."

Leyan Temple paused, then gently rested his cane on the armrest of the chair.

"At least it's safer to stay right under your nose."

"You really do care about the students," Mashiro said with a smile.

"You think the same way I do."

Rakuganji chuckled and pointed out Mashiro's thoughts.

"Cough cough."

Mashiro coughed twice and switched the projection to a three-column grid.

"Now we will assign tasks to three groups."

The first column lists Yujin Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Panda, Maki Zenin, and Mai Zenin.

"First group, look for Kinji Shirai, a third-year student at Tokyo Vocational High School, who has been suspended."

Itadori raised his hand: "Um, who is Kinji?"

The panda spoke, its voice honest and simple: "Our senior was the strongest in the third grade before he was suspended from school. His spells were very special, and they were extremely powerful in prolonged battles."

“That’s right.” Mashiro continued, “We need his combat power. He runs a casino in Kyoto. Hisahito and Fushiguro Megumi are responsible for persuading him to join the team.”

"Me? Me?" Itarō pointed to himself, speaking with some hesitation.

“That’s right, I believe you.” Mashiro nodded. “If you still fail in the end, just say that the higher-ups will use all their power to open a casino and investigate it.”

"Uh." Itari nodded. "I understand."

The second column lists the following terms: bloating phase, decay phase, blood stain, Tsukumo Yuki, Kugizaki Nobara, Yoshino Junpei.

"Second group, protect Tianyuan. Tianyuan is maintaining the barrier in the Hongxing Palace."

Mashiro said to them, "During the journey of death and rebirth, the 'death' will be extinguished, and the 'death' will be dealt with accordingly. We must be prepared to die!"

Kugizaki slung the cursed tool over his shoulder, the metallic clanging sound particularly crisp in the quiet conference room.

"understand!"

Her answer was forceful, and Mashiro nodded.

The others exchanged glances and had no objections.

The third column only has one name: Mashiro Kujo.

"The third group, I investigated Jian Naoruo myself: [The rest of the text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly from different sources, and doesn't form coherent sentences. A direct translation isn't meaningful without further context or clarification.]

Upon hearing the word "unlock the prison gates," Yigu immediately stood up: "You mean, Gojo-sensei's seal can be broken?"

“That’s right, the Jacob Ladder of Laixihua can destroy the prison gates.”

Yi Gu didn't speak again, but after a while he nodded: "I understand."

"Then it's decided." Mashiro said to everyone, "Once you're all ready, collect a communication device and be prepared to enter the barrier at any time."

"Dong dong dong."

As soon as Mashiro finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the operations room.

An assistant supervisor stood at the door, holding a stack of documents.

His expression was stiff. He glanced at Moth, then at Mashiro, and finally handed the document to Mashiro.

"what's the situation?"

Mashiro took the document and placed it on the table, then asked.

"It's an official document from the Zen temple." His voice was a little dry, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again: "Also, early this morning, someone discovered that members of the Zenin family attempted to overstep their supervisory authority. They were stopped, but the other party stated that this was a legitimate right of the Zenin family as one of the three great families."
