COSER, summoned by the strongest

——Have you heard the legend of the Spider Woman?

I heard that there was a woman who hated spiders so much that she killed all spiders because she killed too many spiders in her life. She was cursed by the spiders' resentment and turned into a monster with eight legs.

"That was three days ago."

A woman's voice came out of the recording pen, her voice still trembling slightly.

"That night, I worked overtime until two o'clock in the morning. On the way home, I felt something following me. I ran home quickly. I looked through the window on the second floor and saw a woman fighting with her two legs. Crawling on the ground with two arms, like... like a spider."

"She must be the one who followed me!" The woman's voice became excited: "I was very scared and told my parents about it, but they only said that I was too tired... I didn't realize that there was something wrong until I saw the newspaper this morning. Many people have seen strange people like me, so I mustered up the courage to ask you for help."

After the recording was played, Al pressed the recorder.

The blond boy said solemnly: "Above!"

In the classroom of the first grade of the Tokyo Magic College, Al, Gojo Satoru, Xia Youjie, Nanami Jianren and Hui Yuanxiong are sitting together to study a new task.

Unfortunately, last night there was an armed conflict between the conjurers in Tokyo and a certain conjurer organization. Early this morning, several wounded were sent to the conjuration specialist. I was called out, and I heard that I will cooperate with "window" to interrogate the Curse Master in the future. I guess I will be busy all day today.

The blond boy pretended to sort out the documents on the table, and handed the page covered with the red stamp to Xia Youjie. Xia Youjie took the paper, coughed lightly, and said seriously:

"As you have heard, this recording was made a few days ago and was provided to us by a newspaper. In the past week, that newspaper has received more than 30 similar submissions."

Jianren Qihai frowned: "About the strange woman?"

"Not just women."

Xia Youjie signaled Al to hand him a page of information, and Al played the role of secretary competently, quickly pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Jianren Qihai, saying positively:

"That's it. In a tunnel in the suburbs, a driver saw a man with eight legs."

Hui Yuanxiong turned pale with shock: "Eight legs?!"

"It is said to have eight legs... But whether it is eight legs is still open to question." Al explained: "The driver was terrified. He stepped on the accelerator and fled the tunnel at the time, and went to the nearest police station to report the crime, but—well, After all, he was greatly frightened, and before the Spider-Woman incident became a big deal, everyone thought it was just his misreading."

Gojo Satoru sat idly on a chair, stretching his legs boredly: "By the way, the possibility that he was wrong cannot be ruled out."

Xia Youjie smiled: "Anyway, many people have witnessed 'Spider-Man', and the common feature of 'Spider-Man' is that they were all witnessed in the middle of the night. So the newspaper gave this event a It's called the 'Spider Woman Incident'. At the beginning, the newspaper office just took this incident as a gimmick to increase the sales of the newspaper, until yesterday, two editors of their newspaper office disappeared one after another."

Jianren Qihai asked, "Why did you disappear?"

Al replied: "Because the president of the newspaper felt that the Spider-Woman incident was very popular and could bring more benefits to the newspaper, he asked the two editors to learn more about the Spider-Woman incident and try to write more exciting articles. The editors all disappeared during the in-depth investigation."

"..."

What a miserable beating worker.

Wujo Wudao said: "The incident happened near Changqing Town. After an in-depth investigation by the window, many people have disappeared in Changqing Town recently. A rough calculation may have three or four people."

After the silence, the two first graders looked at each other, Jianren Qihai said thoughtfully: "Then what do you mean—"

Xia Youjie smiled and said: "I will leave this matter to you, congratulations, this is your first task after entering school."

Al on the side clapped his hands, applauding his masters very much. He was unbelievably active today, which can be called OOC.

Nanami Kento & Hui Yuanxiong: "..."

Sure enough, sure enough!

Hui Yuanxiong scratched his head, and asked a little confused: "Leave it to us... What do you mean? Senior Xia You, do you want us to defeat Spider-Woman?"

Such an immature speech, it looks like a novice among novices.

Xia Youjie looked lovingly, "First of all, we need to conduct further investigations on this matter. After confirming that the Spider Woman does exist, we can find a way to solve this matter from the root cause."

Hui Yuanxiong was even more at a loss: "Investigate... what is the root cause..."

Wujo Wudao said: "Hey, you are all conjurers now, so you don't want the seniors to teach you how to do the task, right? This is a trivial matter, you can figure it out yourself. It's just a second-level task, and I will give you a day , can it be resolved within a day?"

"One day?!" Hui Yuanyu turned pale with shock, "Impossible, Gojo-senpai, time is too tight!"

Gojo Satoru pretended to be serious and said: "Let me tell you, Huiyuan, the number of victims is increasing every day, and the two editors disappeared in less than two days. Maybe there is still a way to save them now. Say, yes Shouldn't you hurry up?"

Hui Yuanxiong: "..."

right.

right!

The black-haired boy learned from the pain and made up his mind: "Okay, leave this task to us, and we will definitely work hard!"

"Well, that's right."

Gojo Satoru nodded happily.

Jianren Qihai picked up the relevant materials of "Spider Woman Incident", read it carefully for a while, and pointed out one thing sharply: "The level of this task: tentatively set at level 2-3. The executor of this task : Gojo Wu, Xia Youjie."

Wutiaowu: "..."

Xia Youjie: "..."

Al turned his head and glanced at his two owners, and calmly said, "Look, I told you it would be exposed."

Xia Youjie looked away unnaturally, Gojo Wu pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and said confidently: "Is it strange that juniors help seniors with tasks? This is that, that, yes, campus bullying, we are campus bullying ah."

Qihai Jianren: "..."

No, wait, he didn't intend to escalate the incident to the level of "campus bullying"!

"Hey, Wu." Xia Youjie said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense, what is campus bullying? This is an arrangement of experience, experience."

"Ha, yes, experience." Wujo Wu perfunctory said: "Anyway, you two hurry up, I'm going to the cafeteria for lunch."

Jianren Qihai rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "No, wait, please wait a moment. The level of this task is from level two to level three, so it may be level one, right? Huiyuan and I are just freshmen A fourth-level conjurer may not be able to handle tasks of this level."

Xia Youjie comforted them: "Your strength must be beyond the fourth level, and you will probably be able to be promoted after the end of this semester. What you lack now is actual combat experience. Of course, just in case, we decided to lend you Al!"

Al raised his hand: "Hi, hi, hello everyone, I'm your special assistant supervisor, and it's only for today."

Qihai Jianren: "..."

He was even more disturbed when he heard the words. With this weird senior joining, things will definitely become even weirder.But considering the fact that he and Hui Yuanxiong have no actual combat experience, they can't refuse the help of Senior Al.

This is really...

Hui Yuanxiong said happily: "Eh? With Senior Al? Then I think it's okay. Senior Al is very powerful. He defeated the purple Super Pikachu!"

Al gave him a triumphant gesture without humility.

"You are very discerning, Mr. Huiyuan. But I will only take action in critical moments, so you are the main ones to do the task."

Hui Yuanxiong said cheerfully: "No problem!"

"..." Jianren Qihai sighed, "Okay, I understand."

Now that the two juniors agreed, Al stood up and turned the key in his hand: "I'll take you to the warehouse to get the magic tools."

"Curse equipment?"

"Well, Wu-chan and Jie-chan are types that don't need spell equipment, but most conjurers will still be equipped with weapons."

"Yes." Xia Youjie also said: "You go to the high school's arsenal to pick out two convenient spell tools and use them. After you understand your spells better, you can replace them with your own convenient ones."

Before leaving the classroom, Al said to Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie, "Don't forget my limited steamed buns from Sanshiya, Masters."

Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie waved to him happily.

……

Al opened Gaozhuan's arsenal, and soon, Nanami Kento and Hui Yuanxiong picked out an ordinary knife-shaped spell from the warehouse.

The level of spell equipment here is not high, because you need to apply for a separate application to borrow spell equipment above level [-], and they can only borrow these at will.

"Let me see……"

Al took out the registration booklet from the drawer, and wrote down the names of Kento Nanami and Yuo Haibara.

Hui Yuanyu said: "Senior Al, you seem to be very skilled."

"Well...it's okay." Al wrote it down and said: "During the winter vacation, the four of us cleaned the whole school, so we still know the school quite well."

"Eh? Do students still do this kind of thing?"

"That's not true. The main reason is that we have caused too many troubles, so many that we don't want to write a self-criticism, so the principal has to punish us for cleaning."

If there are too many lice, no itch, no worries about debts, if there is only one self-criticism to be written, then they will still write it, but if there are a hundred self-criticisms to be written, then only a fool will write it, just lie down and wait the night It is enough for Mr. Mo to come and beat someone.

Night Moth said rightly: "..."

Night Moth Zhengdao was also afraid of them.

Those who wear shoes are afraid of bare feet, but what about these brats?These boys belong to the amputated limbs.

After registering the magic tools, Al led them out of the school and took a bus to Changqing Town.

As for why not call for auxiliary supervision?Cough, that's because the assistant supervisors all know that Al is Xia Youjie's "curse spirit". It would be strange for the curse spirit to dangle around in school uniform, right?What's more, Xia Youjie was not here this time.

"Changqing Town is a place of good geomantic omen. If you buy a house in Tokyo in the future, remember not to buy Changqing Town."

"why?"

"Last summer, many people died in Changqing Town. Residents, police officers, reporters, medical staff, and security guards in nearby supermarkets all died."

Hui Yuanxiong asked in surprise: "So many people?"

Al nodded: "Well, the last case was also in charge of the High Commissioner, here, look there."

Nanami Jianren and Hui Yuanxiong turned their heads, and saw a tight house covered by a green cloth: "That is the haunted house in the last case, because I turned it into candy, so I can only seal it up, and it will not be closed. I don't know when that big candy will be melted... Ah, but I won't eat it. That candy house is already covered with too much dust."

"..."

Haunted house?candy?Too much dust?

Hui Yuanxiong originally wanted to continue asking, but Nanami Jianren shook his head quietly at him.

——Don’t be led into the painting style of Senior Al, absolutely not.

He still can't forget the horror on the bus half a year ago, and the sour experience of playing with the female ghost that night.

Senior Xia You and Miss Jiaxue are both normal people. Senior Wutiao has a fascinating personality and a very changeable painting style. It is obvious that Senior Al is the one who fixes his painting style on sand sculptures all day long. He can draw the whole class by himself. The man whose painting style is distorted into a sand sculpture...how terrifying.

Al was completely unaware that he was defined as a "terrible man" by this elementary school boy. An hour later, the bus stopped at a station in Changqing Town. Al got up and said, "This is it."

Two first-year conjurers followed him out of the car, and saw the four big characters "Evergreen Newspaper" written on the building across the street.

Oh!This is the newspaper on the data!

Al turned around and gave them a thumbs up calmly: "After much deliberation, I still think that the investigation should start from this newspaper. There are many things that can be investigated, such as the behavior of the two reporters before they disappeared. , who did you contact before disappearing, did you disclose your itinerary in advance, etc. By the way, it is necessary to search the personal belongings of the two reporters, and there may be unexpected joy.”

Hui Yuanxiong exclaimed: "It's amazing, Al-senpai, you are like the protagonist in the game!"

Al said modestly: "No, I'm just the protagonist from the mysterious universe."

Qihai Jianren: "..."

The direction of modesty is a bit wrong, isn't it?

Al scratched his face, recalling the action patterns of Wujo Xiayou and others, and said: "If, I mean if——if there is nothing here, then we can investigate the tunnel where the spider man appeared and visit again. The eyewitness who was driving, or the police who got the case at the time, etc., will always get details that the 'window' didn't find."

Hui Yuanxiong said sincerely: "You are very thoughtful, Senior Al."

Al said seriously: "Of course. As long as I have enough calories, I will have enough wisdom and mobility. When we finish this job, my three-color house-limited steamed buns will change from ten to twenty. "

Qihai Jianren: "..."

Is the steamed bun from Sansewu the only motivation for you to take action?

He said helplessly, "I understand."

The three of them crossed the sidewalk and approached the "Changqing Newspaper Office", but saw many people gathered in front of the Changqing Newspaper Office. Among the crowd, a high school girl in school uniform was arguing with an old man in a suit. Holding the girl's hand, he said aggressively: "Have you seen him? You have seen the two missing people, right?!"

Al slammed his fist into the palm of his hand and said excitedly: "It's triggered, a special event!"

Qihai Jianren: "..."

Don't treat tasks with the attitude of playing games!

The girl's face was a little pale, and it was unknown whether it was because she was frightened or because the old man grabbed her wrist too hard.

She struggled a bit, but didn't break away: "Let me go!"

The old man blushed and said excitedly, "Do you know their whereabouts? Did they get killed by Spider Woman? How much do you know about Spider Woman?"

"I don't know, President, please let me go..."

"You don't know? How could you not know? Didn't you just come here to ask about this?!"

He was about to ask further, when his arm was grabbed, Jianren Qihai said coldly: "Please let her go."

The old man was furious. He was about to turn his head and curse, but he saw three tall male high school students who stopped him, two of them were carrying a knife, and they looked like they could fight, and their aura suddenly became shorter. .

Jianren Qihai repeated again: "Please let go."

The old man sent the girl's wrist away embarrassingly.

Hui Yuanxiong hurriedly protected the girl behind him, and said a little angrily, "Can't you just say something if you have something to say?"

The old man became angry from embarrassment: "You don't meddle in other people's business!"

Al on the side said calmly: "Oh, it sounds like you are very familiar with this lady, why, we are 'others', are you a family?"

The old man choked, and the girl immediately denied it: "No, this is the first time I've met this president!"

"That's it." Al said the most irritating words in the calmest tone: "Then please don't tease others. Be polite to strangers, even if you are 70 years old. You Didn't your mother teach you this?"

The old man's face turned green.

In front of so many people, he was ridiculed by a brat who was barely 20 years old, and his face couldn't help turning blue and white.

Al quickly winked at Nanami Kento and Haibara Yuu, and they retreated with the girl in the name of protection.

They have all heard the previous conversation, this girl is obviously a key NPC!

"Hey! You—"

The old man wanted to catch up with reluctance, but the passers-by who were watching pointed and said: "Why do you still want to chase after him? You are so old, don't be ashamed!"

"This person is the president of the newspaper, right? Can the president of the newspaper just bully the students casually?"

"Listening to their conversation just now, that student doesn't seem to know this person..."

"I heard them talking about Spider-Woman."

"Ah? Which Spider-Woman? The Spider-Woman who has been discussed a lot lately?"

"Oh, it's so scary, I don't want to hear about Spider-Woman!"

"Let's go, let's go, let's go, everyone..."

After Al and the others left, two furtive figures appeared in the dispersed crowd.

The black-haired boy murmured, "That's pretty impressive, Al."

The white-haired boy in the hood said excitedly: "Jie, hurry up, they're turning a corner."

"Hey, wait, Wu, let's go to the newspaper office to find out what's going on!"

Five minutes later, Al and his party sat in a nearby coffee shop.

With a wave of his hand, Al ordered drinks for everyone, and ordered an extra portion of his favorite cheesecake.

The girl was a little embarrassed and said: "Thank you, but you don't need to treat me to eat. I just came here to ask the newspaper about something. Now that I have asked, I am going home."

Jianren Qihai said: "Although it's a bit abrupt, can you tell us about Spider-Woman and those two editors?"

"Eh?"

"Sorry, we heard your conversation." Jianren Qihai said, "Can you tell us everything you know? We are investigating this incident."

survey?

The girl looked at them in surprise, and after a while, she nodded slightly.

"That person was the president of the newspaper just now. I came to him because I wanted to ask..." She took out two business cards from her pocket, "Ask if these two people have returned to work for the newspaper."

The three members of Gaozhuan took the business card and looked at it. Good guy, aren't these the two reporters who were missing in the information? !

Sure enough, sleepy came to send a pillow!

Al bit his straw and asked, "Do you know these two reporters?"

"Yeah." The girl hesitated: "They all asked me about Spider-Woman, so I told them that one of my classmates' father was eaten by Spider-Woman, and they went with me to my classmate's house, Then, then..."

She shook her head and said worriedly: "Then I don't know."

Jianren Qihai doubted: "These two gentlemen disappeared one day apart, how did you meet them at the same time?"

"Not at the same time."

The girl explained: "That day, when I came home from school, I passed through a tunnel as before. At that time, one of the reporters stopped me and asked me if I knew there had been a spider-man here. I said I knew it and told him After talking about my classmate, he happily asked me to take him to the classmate's house."

"Is that so..." Al said, "So, you took him there?"

"Well." The girl looked more guilty: "I took him there. But because I was afraid of my classmate's mother, I sent him to the classmate's house and left in a hurry. The next day, I went through that tunnel again, Met the second Mr. Reporter who asked me if I had seen the first Mr. Reporter nearby..."

The three members of the high school: "..."

Al asked, "So how did you do it?"

The girl lowered her head: "I took him to my classmate's house again, because the classmate's mother just came home from get off work, and I left again. After that, the two gentlemen seemed to have disappeared."

"..."

Seeing that Al and the others remained silent, she said with a guilty conscience: "I was afraid that something might happen to them, so I came to the newspaper office to ask if they had come back to work. Unexpectedly, I happened to ask the president of the newspaper office, and the president was so excited... Well, something really happened to them, right?"

The three members of the high school: "..."

The girl stared at them for a while before she realized something: "You said you were investigating the Spider-Woman incident, then, maybe, you also need me to take you...uh, to my classmate's house to see see?"

"..."

Wake up, your classmate's house is obviously a devil's den, send one to die, don't take anyone to your classmate's house casually!

They looked at the delicate, frail, cute and natural girl in front of them, and the same thought came to their minds.

——What a guide in the underworld.

They found a treasure!

I thought I picked up a weak intelligence agent, but I didn't expect it to be a guide from the underworld.
