Bald cape conjurer

A street in the Shinjuku ward is separated by police yellow lines.Qihai Jianren drove the car to the edge of the yellow line, got out of the car and showed his ID, and the patrolman who blocked the road let the group of people in.

As soon as he entered the yellow line area, he was greeted by familiar police officers.

"Everyone, are you ready to start the mission?" Takagi said in a deep voice, and his eyes stayed on Saitama's bald head in the crowd for two seconds, "The police have just cleared the scene, and ensure that the underground area in this area is on the way to the mission. The drainage channel will be cut off to ensure that there will be no sewage pouring in.... May I ask who is the auxiliary supervision this time?"

"This task is too dangerous, there is no auxiliary supervision." Nanami Jianren put his hand behind Yoshino Junpei, and gently pushed him forward, "This child is responsible for the auxiliary supervision work, but he will also follow Let's go underground together."

"Please give me more advice!" Yoshino Junpei bowed immediately as it was the first time he had contact with the criminal police.

"It's a child too..."

Takagi sighed.Recalling his dealings with the magic world in the past, he had come into contact with many high school students who came to perform tasks, most of them were teenagers and girls of high school age.Those who entered school in their 20s like Saitama are very few.

Every time he watched these teenage children go to the scene where even the police could not go, he was always filled with emotion.

"Please be safe, everyone."

Takagi stepped out of the way.Yoshino Junpei quickly recalled what Iji Chiyoshi taught when he was the substitute teacher, raised his right hand, and raised his index and middle fingers.

"Born from darkness, from darkness to darkness."

"Dirty and filth, remove everything."

As Yoshino Junpei recited the spell silently, the pitch-black tent began to cover the entire area from top to bottom.The police retreated out of the tent at the last moment when the tent was completely covered.

The manhole cover leading to the ground has been opened.After confirming the safety below, Jianren Qihai climbed down first.

First Nanami Kento, then Ino Takuma, then Yoshino Junpei, and Empress Saitama.A group of four climbed the iron escalator all the way down to the underground drainage system.

Surrounded by damp, dark walls, moss-covered corners.There are roads for workers on both sides of the road, and in the center is a waterway that accumulates strange-smelling sewage.

The sound of water droplets sounded in the distance on the silent road, tick tock, as if a countdown was going on.

"Oh, it's quite big here."

Saitama looked around in a daze: "I didn't know that the underground drainage system is so big... I feel that it is no problem to pitch a tent here."

"That's why the curse took this place as his base," Ino Takuma frowned, "It's really like a mouse..."

"But you've seen it when you come here." Jianren Qihai said.

What appeared in the eyes of everyone at this moment was the incomplete mantra extending all the way forward.The filth shrouded the ground, like a flickering afterimage, the traces of human beings walking barefoot.

"Hmm..." Ino Takuma and Yoshino Junpei both nodded.

"Hey, where is it?" Saitama said with a bald head constantly turning, puzzled, "I didn't see anything."

Qihai Jianren: "..."

"In short, keep the volume down as much as possible, and follow the filth." Nanami Jianren said in a low voice, "Since you can't see Saitama, follow us."

In order to prevent their actions from being detected by the curse, the group lowered their voices as much as possible and moved forward.

The further forward, the more intense the filth of the curse.After chasing the filth in the intricate labyrinth of the sewer system and turning several turns in a row, the traces of the filth ahead became messy, and it gradually became difficult to distinguish the direction of the curse.

"It's really helpless. Next, we can only explore according to the map given by the police." Jianren Qihai stopped and turned around, "You just..."

His voice stopped suddenly, and his eyes behind the sunglasses opened slightly.

Ino Takuma who was following behind him asked in a daze, "Mr. Nanami, what's wrong?"

"……Gone."

Jianren Qihai's standing posture was a little stiff.He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Saitama and Yoshino are no longer behind us."

"……Eh?"

Ino Takuma was startled, turned his head abruptly, and saw a dark place from where he came from.Saitama and Yoshino Junpei, who were following behind when they first came underground, have disappeared without a trace.

"Because the deeper you go, the more filthy it is, and the stronger the mantra it emits. In addition, Saitama and Yoshino have no mana power, and the other has very low mana power. The perception of them is completely overwhelmed by the strong mantra. Covering, so that they don't know when they disappear..."

Jianren Qihai took out his mobile phone from his pocket while talking, and was just about to make a call, but his eyes paused for a moment on the "outside the circle" of the signal sign above.

"Because it's underground, I can't receive signals here, so I lost touch with the two of them completely," the blond man rubbed his temples in distress, "It's really a mistake."

……

"that……"

Even with Nanami Kento's silence command, Yoshino Junpei thought for a long time before opening his mouth cautiously: "Mr. Saitama, where are we now..."

Saitama: "..."

In the dimly lit drainage channel, Yoshino Junpei followed behind Saitama, and the two stood there blankly, looking at the intricate passage ahead.

From just now, Yoshino Junpei noticed that Saitama had been looking around for some reason, as if he was looking for something.Thinking that Saitama might be on guard against a curse spirit that might attack from anywhere, and Jianren Nanami especially emphasized that he should try to keep his voice down as much as possible, so he didn't say anything.

But when Saitama was looking around distractedly, Nanami Kento and Ino Takuma in front of them followed Can Hui wholeheartedly, and the distance from them became farther and farther away...

Until now, Nanami Jianren and Ino Takuma no longer knew where they had gone, and the filthy footprints on the ground gradually became messy, making it impossible to tell where they were going.

After realizing that it was his own fault that caused the two to get lost, a drop of sweat broke out from the back of Saitama's bald head.

"Well, in short... let's move on, after all, we don't know where the enemy is..." He thought for a while, and pointed to one of the roads ahead, "Let's go there first!"

"Okay, Mr. Saitama!" Yoshino Junpei nodded without thinking too much.

"Also," Saitama's eyes scanned the surroundings, "I feel that the surroundings are too dark, and I can't see anything clearly. It would be great if there was lighting..."

"Ah, if you need lighting," Yoshino Junpei quickly raised his finger and called, "Yodotsuki!"

The little jellyfish shikigami reappeared and circled the two playfully.The white light emanating from the jellyfish gently illuminates the surroundings.

"Oh——" Saitama's eyes widened, and his expression became excited, "This jellyfish can still be used in this way! It's really useful, Junpei!"

"Where is there!" Yoshino Junpei was praised by Saitama who was looking forward to, and immediately became humble with reddened ears, "In fact, Yodotsuki's luminous power can also be adjusted."

"Like this!"

Following Yoshino Junpei's words, the light on Yodotsuki's body suddenly became brighter, and the dazzling white light instantly filled the entire drainage channel.

"This is one of the moves developed according to Gojo-sensei's suggestion. It can stimulate the enemy's eyes. If the timing is right, it can temporarily blind the enemy!" Junpei Yoshino said enthusiastically like a child introducing a new toy to a friend.

"Ah, this won't work," Saitama raised his hand to cover his face.Because the light was too dazzling, his whole face showed a constipated expression, as if wearing a mask of pain, "It's too bright like Genos' thunder eye."

"Then how about this one!"

Yoshino Junpei adjusted the power of Yodotsuki again.The little jellyfish floated into the air and began to emit colorful lights in all directions like spherical laser lights in a disco.

"No, we're not dancing either."

As the colored light rotated, Saitama's face turned red and green, changing color constantly due to the different colored light beams.Pointing at Yodotsuki, he said to Yoshino Junpei: "Actually, I think that the light that is easier to find things is better."

"Looking for something? I understand!" Yoshino Junpei hammered his palm, "Then...this!"

I saw that Dianyue restrained the colorful light, and suddenly a beam of strong light was shot out from the center of the tentacles of the little jellyfish, illuminating a bright circular area on the dark wall.

"This is Yodotsuki's searchlight mode." Yoshino Junpei raised his palm and introduced.

"Oh, this feels very useful! You can see clearly in the darkest places!" Saitama's eyes widened, "Try to use this to look around?"

"Okay!" Yoshino Junpei quickly asked Yodozuki to move the angle of the light beam.

The jellyfish shikigami floated in the air, and the searchlight beams from it were strafing around in a pattern, and inadvertently shone on the top of Saitama's head.

At that moment, the light from the searchlight bounced off Saitama's head as a springboard, and after several refractions, it dispersed through the glass shards in the sewage.

All of a sudden, countless small light beams kept jumping in the drainage channel, forming a large complex and beautiful light network, illuminating every corner of the channel.

"Oh..." Yoshino Junpei didn't expect to see such a scene, and murmured in amazement, "This is... an optical spectacle produced by refracting Mr. Saitama's head and glass shards as a prism..."

Saitama: "..."

Saitama was silent for a moment, then raised his hand with dead fish eyes and said, "It's better to use the first light."

"……Oh well."

Yoshino Junpei recovered from the optical spectacle in front of him. Although he didn't understand why Saitama said that, he still allowed Yodozuki to restore the normal light at the beginning.

The two began to walk along the drainage channel that Saitama pointed to.Along the way, Yodotsuki moved the lights back and forth, while Saitama continued to look around as before, mumbling from time to time: "No..."

While walking, Yoshino Junpei secretly glanced at Saitama who was looking around from the corner of his eye.

Saitama is an unprecedented powerhouse and a hero he admires.On this point, Yoshino Junpei was very sure.Therefore, he is sure that what Saitama can concentrate on searching for now must be clues related to the enemy.

……

On the other end, Nanami Kento and Ino Takuma were still analyzing the filth while advancing.

"Although Saitama can't perceive the magic power, Yoshino can. Although Yoshino has just started for a short time, he is still a high school student."

Jianren Nanami carefully observed the filth on the ground, and said to Takuma Ino in a low voice, "Our goal is that special curse, even if we are all scattered, as long as both sides follow the trail of the curse, sooner or later we will be able to meet……"

While speaking, he approached the fork in the T-shaped passage.And at this moment, in the darkness, a pale palm suddenly protruded from the other side of the wall, and Jianren Qihai was about to bump into that palm.

"Mr. Nanami!" Ino Takuma suddenly exclaimed, and raised his hand to pull off the mask on his head.

"It has been discovered."

Jianren Nanami moved faster than Takuma Ino.The palm was only a few feet away from his face, and he pulled out the knife at his waist with lightning speed, and chopped towards that palm with a single stroke.

"Ten strokes of incantation - Waluowaluo!"

A bright light flashed, wrapped in a brilliant spell glow, Nanami Jianren's sword suddenly fell from the wrist of that arm.The sense of fulfillment and impact at that moment made him understand that he had hit it.

——The spell equipment given by Saitama is more advanced than his original weapon, and it is also more useful.

The pale palm was separated from the arm, and the palm fell to the ground like a rag bag, making a slight muffled sound.

A chuckle sounded from the corner, and the sound wave echoed ghostly in the dark passage.In the darkness, a snow-white face vaguely flashed past.

coming!

Nanami Jianren and Ino Takuma's nerves were tense in an instant.The sound of footsteps in the darkness changed from hasty to gentle, and finally stopped.

After a pause, footsteps sounded again.The figure of a young man gradually emerged from the darkness.

Blue hair, different-colored eyes, pale skin, body with sutures... This appearance is exactly the same as the information provided by Xingji.

"Conjurer?" The young man tilted his head, a childlike innocent smile appeared on his suture-covered face, "Are you here to find me?"

"...Are you a real person?" Jianren Qihai did not relax his vigilance, and asked in a deep voice.

"You know my name." Zhenren licked his lips, "Let me think about it, Ji Jun told you. If you can succeed, the child will be a great material. What a pity."

"But...you are here now."

The real person smiled without saying a word, and the severed hand hanging by his side moved slightly.

severed hand...

Jianren Qihai's gaze fell on his severed hand, and he suddenly noticed something unusual.

Even if the curse spirit is cut off, it can be regenerated immediately through the magic power.Because their bodies themselves consist of mana as negative energy, they don't even need a reversal spell.But the real person in front of him has not regenerated his body for a long time, this is because...

When Nanami found the trace of the real person the night before, Nanami Jianren called Xingji.

"Mr. Qihai, do you want to track down the real person?" Yuxingji told him on the phone, "The real person's spell is 'inaction transformation', but the necessary condition for activating the spell is 'contact with the body's hand'."

"Even if the real person uses his own spells to create a 'separation body', the hands of the separation body do not have the ability to initiate inaction transformation." Yu Xingji said, "Because I have formed a bondage with him to use inaction transformation to repair the body. , so be clear about the details of his technique."

……

The severed hand that was cut off is still the "real person's hand", and the real person wants to keep the severed hand still belongs to the "body's hand", so the real person does not grow a new hand.

Because once he grows a new hand, the new hand will replace the original severed hand to obtain the qualification of "the hand of the body", and the severed hand cannot activate the inaction transformation...

"That severed hand!" Jianren Qihai suddenly understood, and turned around, only to find that the hand he severed just now had disappeared.

"Ino!" Nanami Jianren roared loudly, "Beware of his severed hand! He wants to use the severed hand to approach us and activate the spell!"

At this moment, Nanami Kento saw panic surging in the eyes exposed from Ino Takuma's mask.

A faint sound of wind came from behind.Jianren Qihai bent down suddenly by instinct, and from the corner of his vision, he caught a glimpse of a pale palm brushing against his scalp.

Just when he turned his head to remind Ino Takuma, Masato had silently pounced on him from behind.

Jianren Qihai made a backhand knife, and after hitting the real person, he no longer wanted to fight, but quickly distanced himself from him.At the same time, Ino Takuma's palms converged, and the mantra brewed a conical cannonball with auspicious patterns.

"Visit Rui Beast No. [-] Xiezhi!"

The cone bomb spun, drawing an arc with a trajectory that did not conform to the rules of physics, and hit the severed hand that was flying towards Jianren Qihai.

The palm of the severed hand was pierced by a cone bullet, and a huge blood hole burst open immediately.Under the impact of Ino Takuma's spell power, the severed hand finally completely shattered and disappeared into the air.

"After that knife, the shape of the palm can be maintained for such a long time. It's really scary..." Ino Takumi couldn't help but feel a chill down his back when the cone bullet was released, "If Mr. Nanami didn't notice the rebirth, then Maybe one of us was touched by that severed hand..."

On the other side, between the ups and downs of the rabbit, Jianren Qihai and the real person have been fighting for several rounds.When the broken palm was destroyed by Ino Takuma's technique, a palm regenerated from the real person's wrist quickly.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ino Takuma's rear-end bullets can be seen in full view, and Zhenren thought to himself.

It is an attack that can chase after the rear, and it doesn't get along very well with him.As a result, the strategy of using the Halfhand is not very suitable.

But just right, because the Half Palm just now attracted the attention of these two conjurers, they didn't realize that they have now entered the scope of the expansion of the field...

Thinking of this, facing Nanami Jianren who swung a knife, the real man's jaw suddenly fell as if dislocated, and the facial muscles were pulled into a weird shape.

Jianren Qihai suddenly remembered what was in the information, and he tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, and quickly retracted the knife and jumped back: "Ino, get out of the way! This guy wants to..."

"The field expands..."

Before Nanami Jianren had time to remind Ino Takuma to stay away, the two pairs of small hands in Masato's mouth held together.

"Self-closing and round."

Countless pairs of huge palms emerged from the empty air, unfolding layer upon layer.At that moment, Nanami Kento seemed to see the giant Venus Flytrap gradually closing, and himself and Ino Takuma were as small as two mosquitoes trapped in it.

The field expanded, and even the ground shook.During the turbulence, the activity space of the two was gradually compressed step by step by the giant palm, until finally, they had to stand back to back in the field.

Countless pairs of giant palms that have been magnified thousands of times slowly patrolled in the darkness, and the skin lines became terrifying when they became huge.

"Welcome to my field."

The real person had already stood on the hill with giant palms at some point, looking down at the two of them.In a field as dark as night, he is like an evil god who descended into the world.

"You are probably at the first level. The momentum when you attack is like a solemn samurai. It feels very powerful." He pointed to Jianren Nanami and said.

Afterwards, Masato's finger moved to Ino Takuma: "Then you should be level two. Brown hair is weaker than blonde."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you directly." Zhenren said with a smile, "That's because..."

"You will become the 'material' for my experiments."

Ino Takuma subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Such a powerful, terrifying sense of oppression.This is the power of the curse standing at the apex of a super-level curse spirit...

"Ino, don't give up." Nanami Jianren said to him in a low voice, "The effect of the field is only 'must hit', not 'must kill'. And the only thing that dies at one touch is the palm of the body. So use the spell as much as possible next. To counter the guy's attack, never let his palm directly touch the body."

"We have to hold out until Saitama arrives," he said emphatically.

——Qihai Jianren is not lost.If he was the only one who fell into the field, perhaps he was now seven or eight points in despair.But now, with him in this situation, there are juniors who trust him wholeheartedly, which is why they came here.

He must be responsible for Ino Takuma's life.

not to mention……

Jianren Qihai looked at the knife in his hand.

It was a first-class spell tool that Saitama gave him.In addition to the spell power attached to this spell, there is also a teleportation spell hidden in it.

——I'm afraid this teleportation technique is one of the ways to keep those extremely evil cursers from being captured by the magicians for so many years.But now, the magic tool with the teleportation formula has come to him Qihai Jianren.

At the critical moment, he can also use the teleportation technique in the knife to win the hope of surviving.

With the reminder from his senior, Takumi Ino really felt a little more at ease.He nodded, and another magical attack was brewing in the palm of his hand, his nerves tensed to the extreme.

What follows is a protracted battle between the two sides to compete in spell power!

at this time.

The real person standing on the hill of palms was still contemptuously looking down on the two of them just now, but suddenly his expression changed, he covered his mouth suddenly, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"hateful……"

The real person suddenly opened his eyes wide, his pupils trembling slightly.He ran his palms over his face and felt a familiar sting.

The moment when I was attacked by the two-faced Su Nuo in the battle of Torakamigawa in Kyoto appeared before my eyes again.

At that time, Daoist didn't see anything clearly, he just felt a blur before his eyes, and he was blown away from a distance, and the domain was also shattered.

After that until now, the Daoist has not yet opened the domain.That's because after suffering that blow, his body was severely injured, and his spell operation was temporarily unable to reach the level that could open the field.

...But it's still not okay to rest and recuperate until today.

The giant palm that had been airtightly wrapped around it just now gradually faded and dissipated.Jianren Nanami and Takuma Ino, who had already prepared for a protracted battle, suddenly looked around in astonishment.

As if the glass landscape ball was broken, the self-closing circle shattered completely with a "click".And the real person tightly covered the lower half of his face with his palms, his slender eyelashes drooped, blood was slightly leaking between his fingers.

Suddenly, he quickly turned around and rushed towards the depths of the drainage channel.

"Catch up!" Jianren Qihai suddenly understood, and chased after him, "Although I don't understand why, Daoist can't expand the field at present!"

The excitement of escaping from the dead hit Ino Takuma's heart.There is only one thought left in his heart - he must be completely exorcised before the Daoist can expand the domain.

And at this moment, a real person's wanton laughter came from a distance: "Hahaha, hahahahaha..."

"I heard what you said just now," the real person shouted, "You have two companions, one has no magic power, and the other has very low magic power, right? Sorry, the two of you are too difficult to deal with together. .I'm off to find them, bye-"

There are some impurities in the laughter of real people.The crisp sound of some small hard objects hitting the hard ground echoed in the drainage channels, like a child swaying hard fruit candies while running.Afterwards, the crisp sound suddenly disappeared together at some point, replaced by the chaotic sound of many people's soles slapping the ground.

The two stopped abruptly.

Ahead, deformed monsters rushed out of the darkness.

"Damn..." Ino Takuma spat on the ground, "If this continues, we will lose that bastard, Mr. Nanami!"

"do not worry."

The knife in Jianren Qihai's hand was unsheathed again.He whispered, "Didn't you hear that just now? It's Saitama that Makoto is looking for."

……

at the same time.

Saitama walked forward under the light of the jellyfish Yodotsuki, whispering suspiciously to himself, his bald head glowing with a light flesh-colored light.

"What Qihai said is a lie. It seems that there is nothing here..."
