Chapter 269 People who set off due to misunderstanding
The three were silent for a long time.
In the end, it was Maki who took the lead in breaking the heavy atmosphere.
"What's there?"
Maki pointed outside the island.
All you can see from here are the waves that occasionally crash onto the island and the thick fog.
"I don't know, but it's better not to go there."
Inoue Hao shook his head.
"why?"
Maki asked, confused.
"I tried, but there was only thick fog and I couldn't see anything. Even if I tried to swim away, I could only swim back to the island."
"So the only possible exit to this living realm is in the building in the center of the island."
Maki turned her gaze toward the ancient building in the center of the island.
At the same time, he began to think about how to take Inoue Hao away from this living realm.
Different from the two sorcerers.
It was obvious that Inoue Hao could not hold on for much longer.
Therefore, Maki felt that it would be better to exorcise the imaginary cursed spirit that had no trace yet.
The most important thing is to rescue Inoue Hao safely first.
"actually......"
Inoue Hao was a little hesitant.
When he realized that the original form of this cursed spirit might come from people's fear of Cthulhu, he had a guess.
But he was not a professional after all, so he didn't dare to speak out this guess.
It would be very dangerous if I misled the two people in front of me.
As a member of Window, Inoue Hao has also come into contact with the sorcerer.
I have seen the death of a sorcerer.
The window regulations also clearly require that the information be specific and accurate.
Because there have been incidents in the past where sorcerers died due to incorrect intelligence.
"Don't be so fussy. You are still a man. Just say whatever you want to say boldly."
What Maki, who is straightforward by nature, hates most is this kind of hesitation.
Whatever you want to do, do it immediately.
Procrastination will only increase the possibility of failure.
"Kumbu." (Never mind)
Inujuan Ji put a hand on Inoue Hao's shoulder and comforted him.
Although I don't know why Inugami Saki mentioned kelp.
But the comfort in his tone did make Inoue Hao relax a lot.
Yes, I am almost dying, why am I still hesitating?
Just tell him everything you know, and leave it to the judgment of the sorcerer who is good at exorcising cursed spirits.
Is there a better way now?
"In fact, I think this may not be the realm of life, but a dream."
Inoue Hao expressed his own judgment.
"Dream?"
“Salmon roe?”
Maki and Inugami Satoru both showed puzzled expressions.
"Yes, it's a dream. I've heard from my seniors before that the living realm is the inner spiritual world, and the outer living realm is created by the cursed spirits using cursed power, which means that the living realm has a range of existence.
But I clearly remember that I never stepped into any place in the village that looked dangerous or might be the territory of the living.
On the contrary, I had set up a tent and slept in an abandoned yard before coming here.”
Inoue Hao told the two about his actions in the village yesterday.
"Come to think of it, we also came here after falling asleep."
Maki thought that if it was a dream, then what happened to her made sense.
Because if I was brought here or teleported here, I would definitely not be unaware of it at all.
Panda wouldn't just give no hints at all.
Moreover, the Thousand Chance Umbrella was right beside him. If he teleported, it would be difficult not to take the Thousand Chance Umbrella with him.
"Salmon."
Inujuan Ji nodded in agreement.
"Then how are we going to get out?"
Maki asked Inoue Hiroshi directly.
"I remember in the movies one way to wake up from a dream is to die in the dream, but I..."
Inoue Hao's voice became smaller and smaller.
After all, this is a method in the movie, and no one can guarantee that this method can be used.
What if I die in a dream and my body outside becomes a vegetable?
What if my spirit dies immediately and my body dies soon after?
"Mustard." (Leave it to me.)
As if seeing Inoue Hao's doubts, Inujuki Satoru walked up and patted him on the shoulder.
"Do you have any idea?"
Inoue Hao looked at Inumaki Satoru with hope.
Inugami Saki nodded and then turned to look at Maki.
Maki also understood what Inumaki Satoru meant.
"bring it on."
The best option is to test this hypothesis by myself without any magic tools.
Gojuanji reached out and pulled down the zipper, revealing a face with snake eyes and snake fangs tattooed on it.
.....................
Late at night, Tokyo High School.
Yingzhi and Altria sat face to face at the desks that were put together, reviewing the mountain of documents on the table.
The contents of these files are very complex.
There are traces of cursed spirits submitted by the window.
There is a timetable for the sorcerer's tasks.
There is an application form for applying for support nearby.
There is an approval for the reward of the sorcerer for exorcising the cursed spirit.
There are compensation bills for public facilities damaged by the sorcerers in battle.
......
Yingzhi was overwhelmed by reading all the documents.
Fortunately, with the presence of Altria, who once managed a country, Eiichi was able to quickly understand the operation of the world of sorcery.
Yingzhi wants to master the world of sorcery and it's not just talk.
He has also been taking action.
After these years of accumulation and development.
Yingzhi dared to say that if he wanted to take over the world of sorcery, he would definitely succeed.
Two of the three largest forces in the world of sorcery will support him.
The vassals of the Zenin and Gojo families would not say anything either.
Local families such as the Shinkage-ryu, the Tsuchimiya family, and the Isayama family will also support him.
So now the foundation is laid.
All that’s lacking is talent and systems to build the high-rise building.
Therefore, Yingzhi plans to first understand the specific operating mechanism of the magic world.
For example, how the windows work, how the assistant supervisors mobilized the local authorities to evacuate the crowds, and where the high remuneration of the sorcerer came from...
These are all things that you must understand in order to master and change the world of spells in the future.
After all, if you don’t understand these things, you can just forcefully replace them with a new group of people.
What if after a while the local enforcement personnel discover that you actually know nothing and go back to the old ways?
For them, this is nothing more than tinkering with the data and using the magic of statistics.
It's impossible for Yingzhi to take people on secret visits around the world every day.
"Finally done."
Yingzhi pinched his stiff shoulders.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"...Please come in."
Although his tone was normal, Yingzhi was already praying in his heart that no new documents would come.
"Teacher Yingzhi, here is a document for applying for support and a report that I need to look at."
The one who came in was Rika Kimoto.
In order to become the woman who stands behind Yuuta Okkotsu and supports him in the world of sorcery.
Rika Kimoto is also trying hard to understand the situation in the world of sorcery.
The prayer failed, and Yingzhi reluctantly took the application form and report handed over by Rika Qiben.
The next second, Yingzhi's eyes became serious.
The one who applied for support was Akira Nitta, one of the assistant supervisors that Eiji had appointed to be in charge of the first grade.
The report was submitted by Ieiri Nishiko.
The content is the research results of the octopus man sent by Akira Nitta.
"Originally a human... was influenced by a curse... and was transformed..."
Key words were extracted one by one by Yingzhi.
"Could it be that a real-life cutie has appeared?"
When it comes to this kind of transformation, the first thing Yingzhi thinks of is a real person.
In addition, among the natural disaster curse spirits that appear in the plot together with real people, there is a Torgen that is similar in style to an octopus and Cthulhu.
So it is indeed possible for real people to transform into this kind of octopus man.
"Liya, let's go out and stretch our muscles."
Thinking of this, Yingzhi stood up directly.
Other natural disaster curse spirits don’t matter, but the real one must not be let go.
"That's good. My body is a little rusty after sitting for so many days."
Altria sensed the seriousness in Eiji's tone and stood up as well.
Before leaving, Yingzhi called Xiayoujie and told him to wake up and have fun.
