Temple and special horse racing skills

Go is over.

Countless people said so, as if Gao Yongxia's defeat became the beginning of a new era.

The beginning of a "computer can easily beat humans".

A year after Gao Yongxia lost to artificial intelligence and the computer Go defeated a series of professional players, Tsu Miki decided to join the Tokyo Ki Academy.

Xiaohui also successfully enrolled in the same junior high school. She is currently a freshman in junior high school and has not joined any clubs, but she always looks very busy, which makes the students around her talk a lot.

He didn't want to explain at all—his previous experience told him that rumors would only get more and more explanations, and he couldn't tell the truth about patrolling and exorcising cursed spirits while concurrently working as a window.

The shikigami that can be used by the ten shadow spells must be tamed by himself. During this year, he racked his brains and cooperated with two jade dogs and toads, and finally succeeded in taming the third flying shikigami: Nue .

This also means that, in addition to Wutiao Wupai Express Flight and Xia Youjie's flying magic spirit, he finally has the mobility and detection ability for short-distance flights.

For shikigami, this is definitely a surprising breakthrough.

The whole family even went out to have dinner that night to celebrate, and at the dinner table, Ah Jing suggested that he temporarily suspend taming more shikigami, but consider more uses of the existing shikigami.

"Now that the spell power is limited, it's already a bit difficult to tame the three current ones. Why don't you consider the expansion technique—Qi Hai should be able to give you some inspiration in this regard."

Ah Jing threw the child out with a face of course: "It can also prevent the shikigami from being completely destroyed."

Although one of the ten shadow spells will inherit the power of a certain shikigami if it is destroyed by other shikigami, this also means that the diversity of being a shikigami is affected, so before forming your own clear fighting style , it is best to ensure that each shikigami can be used reasonably.

The revolving restaurant in the high-rise buildings of Odaiba, even if their family is not too short of money, it is impossible to come here often. Xiaohui and Tsumiji are doing their best to deal with the fried meat in front of them, and listen to their suggestions with one mind and two purposes. ——Tsu Meiji is in the second year of junior high school this year, and next year she will fill out a career survey. She needs to decide whether to continue her high school education or choose another employment path.

"Otherwise, it's better to go to high school. It would be too..."

Ah Jing couldn't help covering her face.

Shir this guy didn't even go to school much.

Although the High School of Conjuration is a religious school, the only way to go is to become a conjurer after graduation, but if you don't become a conjurer, there is no difference between whether you have this degree or not.

"I also intend to continue to study in high school, but I haven't made up my mind yet whether it is a high school for further studies or another special category."

In fact, her level of Go is not bad, and she is considered a very talented type among amateur players, but if she wants to make a career as a professional, the pressure she faces is completely different.

Ah Jing does not intend to deliberately guide the other party to learn Go-this kind of thing is still of little personal interest, and the essence of Go is a very complicated subdivision field, which requires both talent and hard work, and sometimes it may not be able to do it if you try your best. Well done.

Most of the rest of the family are conjurers, even if Shi Er has no magic power, he is still eating this bowl of rice. Go players can already be regarded as the category with the highest level of socialization, and there is really nothing good to say suggestion.

"Otherwise, go and consult Miku-san."

Shi Er suddenly thought: "Isn't that guy outstanding in the workplace? Recently, I heard that he has reached the position of department leader."

He also gave congratulatory gifts when he was promoted.

"From the perspective of the pressure of modern society, it is better to go to high school with a degree? After all, the requirements for education are getting higher and higher..."

"Then it will involve liberal arts and science again, whether to go to university, what major to study and so on."

Shi Er glanced at the phone: "There is no one in the social area who can refer to."

"..."

Xiaohui finally couldn't help sighing: "Don't think so far for now, right? And your understanding of non-magicians is really—"

It's only the second year of middle school now, right?It has been discussed for several years.

"But no matter what plans you have in the future, we will support you."

Among the classmates, they occasionally chat about their future plans.

"Your family members are professional Go players, right?"

Some students are also very curious to ask for gossip: "What do they say? There is no future for this industry."

"Computers may indeed outperform humans."

Tsumiki smiled: "But even so, humans are still humans, and Go is still Go."

On this day, their club activity is not playing chess, but planning to hold a test of courage nearby.Tsumiji didn't intend to participate at first—after learning about the existence of conjurers and curse spirits in this world, it was easy to think that this kind of activity was an outright act of death. Worried about the safety of these people, she finally decided to follow along.

The location is Koinoguchi Gorge Bridge 88 in Saitama Prefecture, which is near the school. It is an entry-level place for everyone to hold a test of courage. As long as you successfully bungee jump from the bridge, you will be successful in the test.

The water flow under the bridge is not abundant, and it is the dry season again. There are even exposed rocks near the river bank. If one is not careful, it is easy to be injured.Don't start from the aspect of ghosts and ghosts, but only from the perspective of safety, it is indeed dangerous to a certain extent to conduct a test of courage here.

"It's okay, the rope is very strong, my dad is a member of the mountaineering club, this is a safety rope I stole from home."

A male student took out a rope from his schoolbag: "It's absolutely fine."

"If it really falls, there is still river water underneath to buffer it, so let's bungee jump at the deepest water level—is there anyone here who can't swim?"

Fujinuma also looked around: "If you can't swim, you can quit now."

That being said, being gregarious is almost engraved in the bones of every student, not to mention that everyone takes physical education class together. If they suddenly shrink back at such a time, it will inevitably appear inferior.

So no one raised their hands.

According to the original plan, everyone will have a quick lunch at a convenience store nearby, and then have a test of courage at night.Although the original plan was to be at midnight, a large group of junior high school students staying overnight outside the school obviously did not comply with the access control rules of most parents, so everyone took the next best thing and planned to adjust it to around nine o'clock in the evening - anyway, it was already dark at this time Thoroughly.

Now the sun has just set, and there is still a little bit of twilight on the horizon. In the field of spells, this time period is the time when ordinary non-magicians can see the spell spirit with the highest probability-the junction of this shore and the other shore, the moment of encountering magic, It is the most ambiguous time of the day.

Tsumiji stretched her neck and looked down the bridge. A large shadow was cast under the bridge hole. From her perspective, she couldn't see what was under the bridge.She has been tempered by Xia Youjie so that she is not afraid of heights. If the safety rope is okay, she will probably be the one with the best mentality among this group of students, but just to be on the safe side, she still sent a text message to Xiaohui—— This neighborhood happened to be his patrol area.

"Bridge 88? There's nothing over there...I just came here last week to see it, and there is no trace of filth. Basically, it is certain that there are no curse spirits."

The other party quickly replied: "Aren't you playing chess today?"

"Society activities, I will probably go home later today."

Jin Meiji replied: "It's good if there is no magic spirit. There are quite a lot of people here. I am a little worried that everyone will have an accident."

If Xiaohui had confirmed that there was no spell spirit, then it was just an ordinary test of courage.She watched as the male student in the class tied a knot on the railing of the bridge, tied his schoolbag and threw it down, the rope was hanging in the air and dangling back and forth, and the schoolbag full of books was still about two meters away from the water. If you replace the height of a human with the distance, the height of bungee jumping is just right.

"Big success!"

He clapped hands with the students next to him: "The test results are completely fine! Then let people go and try!"

If you say let people go, let them go, this age is when you are most courageous.One of the male classmates was eager to be the first, and everyone helped wrap the rope around his ankle, and just before they threw the man down with laughter, a car stopped next to them.

"what?"

"Who?"

"I don't know, do you know?"

Several students exchanged glances with each other.

A short-haired woman stepped out of the car. The hair on both sides of the ears fell on her shoulders. The most difficult place to look away was her forehead, which had obvious stitches from surgery.

"What are you doing?"

She asked, with a concerned expression on her face: "The bridge is very dangerous, it's better not to do anything risky."

The rare fun was suddenly spoiled, and everyone just wanted to dismiss this person quickly: "It's nothing, it's just club activities, we'll leave soon."

How come there are so many nosy people?The other party didn't leave knowingly, but walked closer and closer, squinting his eyes and looking at them one by one. When his eyes fell on Tsumiji's head, he paused for a moment, which made the little girl alert in her heart—she Must have seen a similar look somewhere.

"A test of courage? Hey—the young people of today."

The other party seemed to be reaching out to touch Tsumiji's head, but the little girl took a big step back to avoid her. Her movements were a bit exaggerated, her expression was vigilant, and one hand had already touched the backpack beside her.

——She remembered what kind of look it was.When he was in the Panxing Cult, he had seen similar gazes countless times. The leader of Xiayou looked at the believers with such eyes, and stretched out a hand towards the air in front of him. The spirit will turn into a curse spirit jade and stay in his hand.

Even though all of this is just air in her eyes, reaching out to the air, holding it, and finally swallowing a ball of air, occasionally causing a series of painful retching and coughing, but in Xiaohui's mouth, This is a particularly creepy and even a little frightening picture.

This is the expression on the woman in front of her.

——She is a conjurer.

Or, Curse Master.

Ordinary people have little chance of winning against a conjurer, even if they bring a gun.Tsumiki's brain is running fast, what does she mean by this?Do you have something on yourself?There must have been no magic spirit on her when she left the house in the morning, otherwise, everyone in the rest of the family could see the magic spirit, and it was impossible to remain indifferent to it.

So did you pick it up on the way here?It’s also hard to say, the neighborhood of the school is where Xiaohui patrols most diligently. Even if he is in class, the newly subdued shikigami will cruise in the sky like a hovering eagle. At this point, she still decides to trust her family members who have no blood relationship. , enough to ensure the “cleanliness” of Urami East Junior High School and its surrounding areas.

Xia Youjie said that many spells are triggered by skin contact, and you can't let the other party touch you.

Countless thoughts burst into the flash, and Tsumiki reached into the satchel, and with a slight click, her index finger was already on the trigger.

"do not come."

She lowered her voice to warn: "If you plan to do something without authorization, my family will never let you go."

"family?"

The other party showed a somewhat puzzled expression, glanced at her hand stretched into the bag, and then carefully looked at the little girl's face, and finally her eyes stayed on her forehead: "What are you talking about, I'm just worried about you guys These students just had an accident here at night."

Her concern seemed genuine, with a moderate expression on her face, but the stitching on her forehead was extremely abrupt—a classmate next to her elbowed Tsumiki's arm, trying to remind her to stare at others like this The traces of the operation are very disrespectful.

Ordinary people cannot see the mantra.

She couldn't deduce whether there was danger lurking around her, but the mobile phone in the bag had a function of calling for help. As long as she opened an app to ask for help, the people in her family would receive the pop-up address first.

But it was strange, compared to these classmates around her, this woman was obviously more aimed at herself.

Is there anything special about yourself?

The whole family can see the magic spirit, and most magicians have blood inheritance. In comparison, she is no different from most ordinary people.

Then the only possibility that comes to mind is... a threat.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and took the initiative to lower her voice: "If you think that this can threaten Kagami-san, you are very wrong. The strength of the two of them can beat the super class of the world, even if they really treat me here, they will not do anything. It will shake them."

This sentence seems to be the right password, the person in front of him was obviously stunned for a moment, and then looked at her carefully: "Karaki mirror? Are you a non-magician from the Kasaki family? No—from the family of conjurers The non-magician will not be like you."

"But I'm interested in you for other reasons. Now that I have known that world in advance, haven't I ever thought of giving myself a similar power? The power of a conjurer, the power to see the truth of the world... …and so on, since you already know what the world is like, you can’t spend your life blindfolded, right?”

There was a wind blowing across the bridge. At this moment, Tsumiji was shocked to find that the surrounding students were unaware of the conversation between the two of them.The last afterglow in the distant sky has completely dissipated, the sun sank to the other end of the horizon, and the pale moon and a few sparse stars began to climb into the sky.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

She took the gun out of her bag neatly and held it skillfully in her hand: "If you just want to express that you have no hostility towards me, you can leave now."

"Ah, there seems to be no way to be alerted."

The woman smiled: "It seems that those people really taught you very well. As a magician, it is already very good to have such a reaction."

"But there is one thing I need to tell you in advance - you are not completely without the talent of a conjurer. The brain produces magic power, and the body carries the spells. The two are not completely unified. If only the former is satisfied, it will become a magic spell. People who can see the spirit of the curse, if they only meet the latter, what do you think will happen?"

"Thanks to the telescope, at least for now, I don't want to appear in her sight."

The other party did not disclose the answer, but just got back into the car and drove away.

"Tsu Miki... Tsu Miki?"

Suddenly, a classmate called her name by her side, and she suddenly turned her head. There was no car around, and her satchel was still placed beside her. She reached in and fumbled, but she didn't even open the insurance.

But the meaningful conversation just now, and the sutures on his forehead are definitely not his own illusion.
