Nanami Kento opened the car door and sat in the back seat, a tired look on his face, "Ichichi, how long have we been gone?"
"16 hour."
Yi Zhidi Gaojie spoke nervously, "You entered the school at 4 pm yesterday, and it has been a full 16 hours now!"
"16 hours? How could it be possible..."
Fushiguro Megumi's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously took out his phone and looked at the time displayed on it:
May 5, 17:8 am.
This just confirms that in his perception, he and Nanami Kento only had one hour at most to enter the school!
1 hour and 16 hours, how could he make such a big mistake?
Nanami Kento leaned back in his chair and spoke calmly:
"A barrier with a time error is rare, but you'll encounter one occasionally."
Megumi Fushiguro lowered his head and remained silent.
Although Gojo Sensei said that his spell had great potential and was a spell that could rival the Six Eyes, and that he was even rated as a Level 2 sorcerer upon admission, and was recognized as a genius in the sorcery world, in the final analysis, he still had too little experience with the curse spirits!
Nanami Kento continued to ask:
“How many times have we appeared at the school gate?”
"Not counting the first one, there were 16 times in total, exactly once every hour."
After hearing Ichichi's answer, Nanami Kento asked softly:
"Fushiguro, did you find anything?"
Fushiguro was silent for a moment, then spoke after a brief pause:
"We entered the school at 4pm yesterday afternoon. It took no more than five minutes to walk from the school gate to the shrine. But every time we passed the torii gate of the shrine, we would go directly back to the school gate. This process was repeated sixteen times in total, so it took an hour to walk from the school gate to the torii gate of the shrine each time. But the time we spent from the school gate to the torii gate was different each time, but the time we appeared at the school gate was exactly the same, which means..."
Fushiguro Megumi stopped talking before he finished speaking, as if he had realized something.
Nanami Kento's voice was steady:
"It means we have been in the barrier all along."
There is no doubt that the god enshrined in the 'Twilight Shrine' was completely beyond their expectations!
They originally thought that the entrance to the barrier was a torii gate, because that was the case with most shrines, and only by stepping through the torii gate could one officially enter the barrier.
After all, the Torii gate is used to distinguish between the "divine realm" and the secular world inhabited by humans. Its existence is to remind visitors that stepping into the Torii gate means entering the divine realm.
It is this symbolic meaning that makes the Torii the dividing line between the inside and outside of the barrier.
but.
This 'god' of Shuchiin Academy is obviously more than that.
Not only from the torii gate to the main shrine, the entire Shuchiin Academy is probably within the range of its barrier! Even with a rough estimate, the area of Shuchiin Academy is at least 100,000 square meters, equivalent to an area of more than 300 meters in length and width.
Megumi Fushiguro had only seen such a large-scale barrier in one place, and that was the barrier of the high school. And the barrier of the high school was set up by Lord Tengen himself!
He did not think that the god enshrined in the 'Twilight Shrine' could be compared with Lord Tianyuan, but just based on the range of the barrier, he could tell that his strength was definitely much stronger than other gods of the same type!
"Always in the barrier?"
Ichichi Gaojie's scalp tingled, and he spoke in a panic, "But we are clearly not in school now, and isn't there a car passing by?"
Megumi Fushiguro looked out the window and saw several cars passing by them.
Nanami Kento's tone remained steady:
"Calm down, Ichichi, we are not in the barrier now."
Fushiguro Megumi said softly:
"Being able to see other people means we have escaped the barrier."
"That 'god' should not be hostile, otherwise we would not be able to leave the barrier."
The reason why they chose to enter the school at 4 p.m. was because Shuchiin ended at 3:20 p.m.
40 minutes is enough time for the students from the Homecoming Department to leave.
Although those students who want to participate in club activities will not leave, most of them will stay in the club room obediently. Even for sports-related clubs such as the football club, their activities are limited to the playground.
The worship time of the Dusk Shrine is from 5:00 to 6:00 pm, and no students will enter the shrine before then.
There is an hour from 4 to 5 o'clock, which is enough for them to complete the task.
After all, their purpose was to investigate rather than to exorcise, so they only needed to talk to the god, which wouldn't take too much time.
But it turned out that this was just their wishful thinking.
During the 16 hours, they frequently traveled back and forth between the shrine and the school gate, but strangely they did not meet anyone along the way. Not only did they not meet any students leaving the school, there was not even a single car passing by on the road. This was obviously abnormal!
So there is no doubt that they have been trapped in the barrier before, while other students and passers-by are in "reality".
The two parties are in different spaces, so naturally they cannot meet.
Only when they gave up exploring the school and returned to the car from the school gate, they were considered to have truly escaped from the barrier.
It was obvious that the purpose of the 'god' was to stop their investigation of the school, or to stop their investigation of the shrine.
The 'gods' didn't want to kill them, so they just trapped them with a barrier and sent them back to the school gate every hour. In those 16 'cycles', they had a chance to escape the barrier every time, as long as they left the school gate instead of entering it.
However, this level of barrier is obviously not something that a newly promoted "god" can master.
This means that there must be a more mysterious sorcerer behind that "god", which also coincides with the information they obtained before: that god was originally a sorcerer's shikigami.
The barrier technique of the 'God' was probably inherited from that sorcerer.
but.
If the shikigami alone is so powerful, then how powerful should the sorcerer be?
Fushiguro Megumi whispered to herself:
"You don't want to be our enemy, but you don't want to have too much interaction with us either? This is really..."
friendly.
Compared to the evil spirits they had encountered in the past, the behavior of this "god" was quite friendly. He simply trapped them and did not attack them at all from beginning to end.
Fortunately, their goal was not to exorcise from the beginning, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!
Fushiguro Megumi turned to look at Nanami Kento:
"Nanaha-senpai, are we still going to continue the mission?"
Nanami Kento thought for a long time and said slowly:
"Give up, this is not something we can handle."
With the skills they possessed, they could not get close to the shrine without taking action, and thus could not complete their investigation mission. Staying here would only be a waste of time.
Once the action is taken, there will be no investigation, and it will directly turn into a battle for the purpose of exorcism.
This is not what they want to see.
Megumi Fushiguro nodded silently. He also felt that this was the most appropriate way to deal with the situation at the moment.
Ichichi Gaojie waited until they finished their discussion before speaking:
"Mr. Nanami, I have reported the intelligence here to Mr. Gojo. Mr. Gojo also asked us to give up for the time being and investigate another case."
Fushiguro Megumi raised her eyebrows slightly and immediately asked:
"What case?"
"The mayor of Nishitokyo City, Aoba Mimori, has suddenly disappeared, and we saw the outline of a 'tent' nearby from our window last night, and there was also obvious debris left at the scene. Since it involves a lot of things, we must solve it as soon as possible."
Ichichi Gaojie looked solemn. The existence of the tent meant that the person who attacked was most likely a sorcerer. But sorcerers would not attack ordinary people, not to mention that the target was the mayor of Nishitokyo City, which meant that the other party was most likely a curser.
And cursers are often more dangerous than 'gods'!
-----------------
Shuchiin Academy, rooftop.
The black JK girl with long straight black hair looked at the car driving away and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:
"Are you finally giving up?"
She had noticed the car and the three people in it since yesterday.
In her special vision, the hedgehog-haired man and the blond middle-aged man were both blue, and the skinny middle-aged man driving the car was light blue.
This means they are all psykers.
But since they are blue, it means they are not enemies, at least not for now.
In this case, there is no need to create enemies for yourself, as that will make things very troublesome.
Geng Xizi was not afraid of trouble. After officially becoming a god and gaining knowledge from the Supreme Heaven, she had a certain understanding of her own strength. As long as she was in the barrier, no matter who came, she would be invincible.
But the problem is that although she is not afraid of trouble, she is afraid of causing trouble for Kira Yoshikage.
After all, the reason why Kira Yoshikage supported me to ascend to the 'throne of God' was so that I could solve his troubles for him, right?
Since she ascended the throne of God, Kira Yoshikage has not come to see her even once. Kou Yuko felt that Kira Yoshikage probably considered meeting her to be a very troublesome matter.
It's not that she's in so much trouble, but once she takes the initiative to find Kira Yoshikage when she has something to do, it means that she has encountered trouble that she cannot handle.
Knowing this clearly, Geng Xizi has always been very restrained.
She tried her best to abide by Kira Yoshikage's teachings to her. Apart from the 'knowledge' she passively received when she became a god, she would not actively come into contact with the power of the Supreme Heaven.
She was also trying hard to maintain the peace of the barrier. Any evil spirit that approached the barrier would be dealt with by her and Ying Xizi... Well, although the methods were different, the effects were the same.
But psychics are different from evil spirits after all and cannot be killed casually.
What's more, those three psychics were obviously organized and premeditated. If they died in school, they would definitely attract revenge from the organization behind them.
Kira Yoshikage obviously didn't want to see this happen.
Therefore, Geng Xizi did not intend to have any contact with these people, and sent them out of the school every time they entered the torii gate. But in fact, it didn't matter if she didn't send them out, because she rarely stayed in the shrine, and even if they arrived at the shrine, they couldn't find her.
But Ying Xizi is different, her heart is still full of hatred.
Even if she cannot complete her revenge for the time being, she needs a channel to vent.
Regardless of whether they are evil spirits or psychics, they are all targets of her hatred and venting.
Once Ying Xizi meets them, battle is almost inevitable.
For this reason, she had to manipulate the barrier to forcibly separate them and Ying Xizi to prevent the two sides from meeting.
However, the two people were much more persistent than she had imagined, and they repeated it 16 times before giving up.
Fortunately, the result was good and they gave up the exploration of the shrine.
And she also successfully maintained peace on campus.
"so good……"
Geng Xizi murmured in a low voice, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
Once upon a time, she also enjoyed a peaceful and wonderful campus life, until she was thrown into the bottom of the lake as a sacrifice...
-----------------
Jingle Bell!
Amid the cheers of the students, the clear bell for the end of get out of class rang throughout the campus.
Although lunch time is short, it is still an hour.
The students who brought their lunch boxes put the tables together, chatted and laughed, and took out their lunch boxes to share.
Students who did not have lunch boxes left the classroom and went to the cafeteria to eat.
Kira Yoshikage left the classroom carrying the bag containing his lunch. He did not go to the rooftop because he knew that other students would definitely go there.
So he chose the grove in front of the teaching building.
Under the quiet green shade, Kira Yoshikage sat on the green grass with his back against a tree trunk.
He enjoyed the quiet and fresh atmosphere immensely.
