In the anime, Kira Yoshikage longs for a peaceful life

No matter how you look at it, it is more convenient to use spells. This is different from the murders by curse masters that he knew about in the past.

"Let's go to the other side first."

Nanami Kento patted Fushiguro Megumi's shoulder and did not enter the building, but walked in the opposite direction. Because the traces of filth did not spread to the inside of the building, it meant that the curse master should not have entered the building, and this was the first crime scene.

Megumi Fushiguro withdrew his gaze and followed the filthy traces with Kento Nanami to a building a thousand meters away.

Outside the building, Ichichi Takaki and another woman were waiting for them.

"Mr. Nanami."

Yizhidi Gaojie came forward and wanted to say something.

Nanami Kento waved his hand and looked at the black-haired woman who looked quite capable:

"Let's get started, Miss Kotori."

Tohka Takanashi nodded gently and slowly closed her eyes.

"Touka Kotori?"

Megumi Fushiguro looked at the woman with adobe hair in front of her and narrowed her eyes slightly.

At the Jujutsu High School, people who possess cursed powers can be roughly divided into three types.

Window, assistant supervisor, and sorcerer.

Chuang is an ordinary person who can see cursed spirits, but only limited to seeing. They neither have enough cursed power to form combat power nor the corresponding spells.

The auxiliary supervisors are stronger than the "windows". They usually have a certain amount of magical power and can tame low-level cursed spirits to become shikigami. They will also be trained to learn simple barrier techniques and can use this to do some auxiliary work.

In addition, there are even some auxiliary supervisors who have spells. However, the spells of auxiliary supervisors usually do not have much potential, or even have little attack power. Touka Kotori is such an auxiliary supervisor.

Her spells are not offensive at all, but are more versatile than many powerful spells. They are named:

Scene reconstruction.

The ability of this technique is literally that it can recreate the scene of the crime based on the remains of the scene. Just like a videotape, it can reproduce what happened to the target in the past in the form of a 'holographic image' until this point in time.

Touka Takanashi took a deep breath, and with the surge of cursed energy, a blurry figure slowly emerged from the remnant.

At first, it was just a blurry shadow.

Can't even tell the difference between male and female.

But as time went by, its appearance became more and more recognizable. Although the appearance was still blurry and the specific shape could not be seen clearly, and even the color was just a mess, the general outline could be seen.

She was a girl with shoulder-length hair, wearing a uniform of unknown color, carrying a backpack on her back, and half-squatting on the ground.

"Play it backwards."

Nanami Kento suddenly spoke.

Touka Takanashi nodded and activated the technique to make the blurry figure move.

The next second, the half-crouching girl stood up, or rather, flew up. She flew from the ground to high altitude, and in just a few seconds, she appeared on the rooftop of the building.

"Nanaha-senpai."

Fushiguro Megumi's expression was a little subtle, "Do you feel that this situation is a little familiar?"

"Ah."

Nanami Kento nodded thoughtfully. This girl was a bit like the girl they met yesterday.

Although his appearance could not be seen clearly, his outline and hairstyle were undoubtedly the same person. Although the color of the uniform could not be seen, the style was exactly the same. The way the other person jumped from the rooftop was almost a complete replica.

The only difference is that the girl yesterday just jumped from the fifth floor. A height of more than ten meters is not exaggerated for a sorcerer.

But the building in front of us has at least thirty floors, which means it is at least a hundred meters high!

Being able to jump from a height of hundreds of meters without any injury is undoubtedly due to the skills possessed by the other party.

Nanami Kento and Fushiguro Megumi were basically certain that the two girls were the same person, and if nothing unexpected happened, there should be another black-haired girl on the rooftop. Judging from the lack of other debris at the scene, the black-haired girl did not use any techniques, and it is very likely that she did not even have any techniques.

Fushiguro Megumi frowned and asked:

"What do they want to do?"

The people killed yesterday were terrorists, which was reasonable. Even if they didn't do it, Fushiguro Megumi would have done it herself.

But why did they want to kill the mayor of Nishitokyo City?

Could it be that there is any connection between the two?

It’s not that Fushiguro Megumi made an unfounded association, it’s mainly because these two things happened on the same day.

They killed the terrorists in the afternoon and assassinated the mayor of Nishitokyo in the evening. It is hard not to suspect that the mayor of Nishitokyo was in collusion with the terrorists.

After all, the two girls have been confirmed to be members of a special organization called DA affiliated with the government. Their duty is to maintain social stability. They would never do anything illegal, right?

But they guessed that the mayor of Nishitokyo City deserved to be put to death, but they couldn't just report it to their superiors like that, right?

Does this mean that the one who did it was not the curse master, but a sorcerer from the government?

What about the evidence?

Their guesses cannot be used as evidence!

There is no doubt that Nanami Kento also thought so. He looked at Ichichi Gaojie and asked:

"Ichichi, can you contact the DA?"

Yizhidi Gaojie nodded:

"Sure. The higher-ups have already gotten through and given me the DA's contact information."

Nanami Kento pushed his goggles with his index and middle fingers:

"Then go visit him. We have to make things clear."

-----------------

Kyoto, the main residence of the Shinomiya family.

Led by the butler, Sigong Yunying walked along the corridor to the innermost room.

Pushing aside the shoji, his father Shinomiya Gan'an knelt in front of the table.

Sigong Yunying did not hesitate, walked straight to the opposite side of Sigong Yan'an, and knelt down as well.

Sigong Yunying asked bluntly:

"Father, is it time to tell me the truth?"

"of course."

Sigong Yan'an nodded calmly and asked, "Yunying, what do you think God is?"

Sigong Yunying frowned slightly:

"You can just tell me the answer. I don't want to guess."

Sigong Yan'an was not angry, he just smiled and continued:

“The so-called gods are the carriers of human faith.

"This carrier can be a human or a spirit."

"For the past three hundred years, the 'lake god' worshipped by the Shinomiya family was originally a sorcerer.

"Of course, although he was a sorcerer, his strength was far from being strong. According to the sorcerer's classification of strength, he was only a level 3 sorcerer until his death, almost at the bottom of the sorcerer class.

"And that sorcerer also knew that his potential was limited, so he never thought about having great power while he was alive, but hoped to become a 'god' after death!"

“Because no matter whether they are powerful or weak, they can all become ‘spirits’ after death. Sorcerers call this kind of ‘spirit’ a ‘curse’ or a ‘curse spirit’.

"Because they usually die with great resentment, once they become cursed spirits they will harm the world and become a 'curse' that needs to be conquered and exorcised by other sorcerers.

"But there is a way to wash away their resentment. That is to enshrine these powerful sorcerers in shrines after their death and worship them as gods! According to Buddhist terminology, this process may be called 'golden body'."

Sigong Yunying's eyes moved slightly:

"Sugawara Michizane?"

"similar."

Shigong Yan'an nodded slightly, "As I said before, that sorcerer is not very powerful, but the technique he possesses is very special, so he is confident enough to become a god after his death.

"Therefore, he contacted the Shinomiya family at that time, hoping that the Shinomiya family could worship him as a god after his death. However, in the world of sorcery, worshipping dead sorcerers as gods has always been a forbidden act. Those sorcery families do not want the existence of beings beyond their control.

"At that time, the Shinomiya family was just a small family, unable to resist those powerful spell families with a long history. Therefore, the Shinomiya family could not openly build a shrine for it, but had to worship it in another way: offering sacrifices.

“The sorcerer is sacrificed as a sacrifice, replacing the offerings at the shrine, and is worshipped as a god.

"Of course, the Shinomiya family at that time was obviously unable to threaten powerful sorcerers, so they have always set their sights on those who have the potential to be sorcerers but have not yet truly mastered the spell."

Sigong Yunying felt a chill down his spine and said in a low voice:

"Hidechiin holds a sacrificial ceremony every year, so there must have been at least 300 sacrifices over the years, right?"

"Do not."

Shigong Yan'an shook his head. "It wasn't that frequent at first. His 'appetite' was still small, so he only needed to offer sacrifices once every ten years. After all, sorcerers in ancient times were very rare, and finding a sorcerer who hadn't yet 'awakened' was not as easy as you thought.

"But gradually, as time went on, the number of sacrifices increased. The Lake God became stronger and stronger, and his appetite grew. The number of sacrifices he required increased from once every ten years to once every five years, then from once every five years to once every three years, and finally to once a year.

"If there weren't far more sorcerers nowadays than in the past, I'm afraid we would have a hard time satisfying the Lake God's appetite."

“Can this be called God?”

Sigong Yunying's eyes were full of suspicion.

Because he didn't dare let other sorcerers know that he was trying to become a god, he didn't even have a shrine, not even a formal god, and could only be called the "lake god". Is this also called a god? Isn't this a dog that has lost its home?

"Don't underestimate the Lake God."

Sigong Yan'an saw Sigong Yunying's thoughts and said slowly, "For more than three hundred years, do you really think that the sorcerers have never discovered the existence of the Lake God? In fact, in the past years, there have been several open and covert battles between the sorcerers and the Lake God, but each time ended with the victory of the Lake God. According to the classification of the sorcerers, the strength of the 'Lake God' has reached the special level hundreds of years ago, and even has its own domain.

“It is precisely because of this powerful strength that the upper echelons of the magic world tolerate the existence of the Lake God.

"And the reason why the Shinomiya family can continue to grow and develop is also due to the blessing of the lake god. Students who study at Shuchiin Academy will more or less receive the blessing of the lake god during the sacrificial ceremony, and will have smooth sailing from then on. You are no exception."

He was only a level 3 sorcerer when alive, but after death he became a special-level cursed spirit...

Shigong Yunying still found it a little unbelievable. Although he was not sure what the special grade meant specifically, from Shigong Yan'an's description, the special grade was obviously extremely rare in the world of sorcery.

But it was so easy for that 'Lake God' to become a special grade, is this reasonable?

No, that’s actually reasonable.

After all, among those sorcerers who were offered as sacrifices to the Lake God, there were probably many who were strong enough to become special-grade, but it was a pity that they became sacrifices to the Lake God before they could grow up.

However, judging from the situation of the Shinomiya family and the Lake God, the relationship between the two sides is also very abnormal.

Initially, the two parties were in a cooperative relationship, but as time went on, the Sinomiya family was gradually controlled by the Lake God. After all, if the Lake God's appetite could not be satisfied, the first to suffer would be the Sinomiya family, and being exterminated would be a good thing.

But it is undeniable that the Shinomiya family also suffered huge benefits because of the existence of the Lake God, which is why it was able to grow into the current Shinomiya Group.

The greater the power of the Shinomiya family, the more sacrifices they can provide to the lake god.

The two sides are in a mutually parasitic and interdependent relationship.

No, it's not just the Shinomiya family.

Other families, such as the Kashiwagi family, may also be involved.

They all enjoyed the favor of the lake god, and therefore assisted the tyrant in his evil deeds and helped the lake god find sacrifices!

Sigong Yunying said in a deep voice:

"But the lake god is dead!"

"Yes, the lake god is dead."

Shinomiya Yanan nodded slightly, "The death of the Lake God is no less than a calamity for the Shinomiya family, because from the information we have, the person who killed the Lake God is called Gojo Satoru."

Sigong Yan'an paused and said in a deep voice:

"That is the strongest being in the world of curse!"

"The strongest?!"

Sigong Yunying's expression was stern. He didn't know what spells were, nor did he understand the world of spells, and he couldn't even see the "curse spirit".

But the word "strongest" is enough to explain a lot of things!

Sigong Yunying looked a little hesitant:
