Chapter 144 The Movie Theater Death Incident
Chapter 144 The Movie Theater Death Incident
When Kotomine Shirou and his companions received the mission from Gojo Satoru, a month had already passed since he promised to complete it.
During this month, all four members of the group, including Shirou Kotomine, have grown tremendously.
This is probably why Gojo Satoru has been delaying the dispatch of missions.
After all, the reason for assigning missions to the four of them at this time was to hone their combat skills and indirectly improve their strength.
However, all four of them had been rapidly improving their strength.
Therefore, dispatching missions becomes less of a concern.
It's unlikely to have the desired effect.
Now that the four of them are strong enough, their rate of progress has begun to slow down.
Gojo Satoru's mission was finally assigned.
Their destination was Kawasaki City in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Cai Guangchen hurried forward.
Exorcism is a more important matter.
"There are only two cursed spirits in total, who will take action?"
At this moment, a cursed spirit is lying on the ground of the rooftop, watching us.
Although I don't have many words that I can't refute, I still realize that arguing with Fushiguro Keiro is a very foolish thing.
As the two attackers struck, the two monsters immediately perished.
"This person has indeed been missing for many years and is a prime suspect. You cannot investigate me until the police have thoroughly investigated my case."
With permission granted, Yuuji Itadori and Nobara Kugizaki stretched their arms and muscles while intently watching their target.
Facing the two cursed spirits, Itadori Yuujin swung his fist, which was enveloped in cursed power.
Cai Guangchen said earnestly.
It's just a matter of time.
"Suspicious? Why?"
"The identity of this person who has been around for many years is still under investigation, but you still think that person is very suspicious."
According to the intelligence we obtained on this trip, the bodies of eight junior high school students were found in a movie theater in Kawasaki City.
Although I'd love to test my current martial arts skills, I lack combat experience, and Itadori Yuuhito and Kugizaki Nobara, whose skills have also improved only recently, clearly need more.
Our cause of death was also due to increased intracranial pressure caused by head deformation, leading to respiratory paralysis.
"So you only said the other person wasn't a suspect, but you didn't say they were definitely the perpetrator!"
Looking at the photos of the eight deceased in the documents in their hands, it was obvious from their own judgment that the seven people present could see the work of the Wuhuan Curse Spirit.
This finally relieved Shirou Kotomine of the heavy burden that had been weighing on his shoulders.
Our purpose in coming here is to investigate the murderer of that case.
Following in front of Kanagawa, Fushiguro Keiro looked at the information in his hand as he walked and said, "According to the current information, apart from these eight junior high school students, none of them have been in school for many years during the movie screening."
Kugizaki Nobara chimed in.
After all, judging from the circumstances of the victims in that case, the cursed spirit that caused that case should actually be quite powerful.
Before they knew it, the seven people had not yet reached the rooftop.
The remaining eight, including Itadori Hisahito, squeezed to the front.
And the remnants of cursed power that appeared behind our eyes at this moment were exactly what we were looking for.
The seven people, who had never encountered such a situation before, were immediately stunned.
"Oh no, stop talking about those childish arguments. You girls need to be more mature. This is a mission."
Their combat abilities also received a slight boost.
Fushiguro Keiro leaned against the wall next to the entrance, showing no intention of making a move.
"Judging from the remnants of cursed power underground, the cursed spirit that attacked the movie theater was the type that couldn't move freely. If that's the case, how did this person manage to survive its attack all these years ago?"
Before Kanagawa could even remind them, the eight members of the Fushiguro Eiro group immediately looked around.
So how exactly to achieve that outcome still requires the efforts of all seven of us!
After all, we are professionals in investigating cases.
That's a very unusual phenomenon.
As someone who also dislikes reading comics, I immediately picked up on Cai Guangchen's joke.
"Let's go!"
Letting me take the lead is obviously the worst option.
"We'll leave that to them!"
"They actually found a clue despite how complicated it was?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, gazing at the scenery outside the window, Shirou Kotomine smiled and murmured to himself.
Kanagawa has a high degree of trust in the abilities of its police officers.
By this time, Shirou Kotomine had already laid the foundation for developing these two abilities.
Among the seven, Kanagawa, a level seven sorcerer, is considered quite experienced on the other side.
"There are only a few clues around here that are not worth investigating. It's better for you to set off now and retreat along those remnants of cursed power."
Fushiguro Eiro refused.
"There's a mistake!"
Cai Guangchen sat in the passenger seat.
"No, you may all leave!"
It wasn't until it killed a person who had no talent for curses that it killed him.
Because the mastermind behind that incident was the top-tier cursed spirit "True Man".
That's wrong. At this point, Fushiguro Keiro only remembers those important events; I've long forgotten the specific details.
"But some cursed spirits only attack specific groups of people."
Although his desire to have fun was thwarted, Fushiguro Eiro didn't seem to care.
The only one I know is not the one behind the scenes, but the real person.
At this point, we hadn't yet seen any of the clues the police had collected at the scene on the way here.
Fushiguro Eiro had no recollection of the specific details of that incident.
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine was no longer able to prepare for leaving that world.
After all, among the seven of us, only Kanagawa lacked relevant experience.
However, the time for the low-level sorcery exchange meeting was still far away, so Fushiguro Keiro decided to leave that world before attending the meeting.
I was also the first of the seven to see them.
He had largely accomplished most of the goals he set for himself when he first came into this world.
"Is that something to be taken for granted?"
"Come here!"
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine was in a very good mood.
It was quite slow before Fushiguro and his group arrived at the movie theater.
"Forehead!?"
Cai Guangchen said, "If."
Then remove it.
Therefore, what we investigated later was not clues on the real level, but clues on the level of magic.
Kanagawa and Fushiguro Keiro shared the same thought: those were just two big monsters.
Only the abilities of Black Flash and Domain Deployment remain to be mastered.
The so-called residual power of the curse is not a trace left before the spell was used. It is just that such traces are very faint, and if one is careless and looks around, it is difficult to see and will be missed.
Even without us, they probably would have figured it out.
"Although Shohoku is indeed a low-ranking school in Kotomine Satoshi Prefecture in the Slam Dunk story, that's the world of a manga, so he shouldn't be delusional."
The two cursed spirits that died were not exorcised; instead, their corpses remained.
Moreover, our mission that time required us to use our brains.
While moving forward, I also forgot to look for traces of myself in the distance.
This is not my area of expertise.
Yuji Itadori, who was standing next to Fushiguro Eiro, asked.
Fushiguro Eiro reasoned.
Hisahito Itadori chose to remain silent in response.
However, the premise for that reasoning to hold true is that the other party is a mindless, incapable, and incapable of killing spirit.
Before I could even utter those words, I was utterly defeated and shut my mouth.
...
After all, those two cursed spirits were indeed weak.
It does not possess any abilities related to the soul.
After that period of intensive training, both Yuujin Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki underwent a complete transformation.
On my warning, the other cursed spirit was discovered very slowly.
Furthermore, I learned how to expand my domain when I was on the verge of life and death.
The heads of the eight victims all underwent slight distortions, as if they had been possessed by aliens.
Therefore, there's nothing I can't do to help with the investigation of this incident.
All I can remember is that the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Master was almost exorcised by the combined efforts of Yuujin Itadori and the First Grade Cursed Sorcerer Kento Ichikai.
So I chose to abstain and run away.
There are no worthless clues among them.
Meanwhile, Kugizaki Nobara wielded her hammer, driving a steel nail back into the monster's body.
Knotweed Hisahito said with a smile.
At this moment, Fushiguro Eiro and his six companions were traveling by car towards our destination.
Before getting on the bus, led by Ijichi Kiyoshi, Fushiguro Eiro and his six companions quickly left the movie theater.
Since we haven't found anything, there shouldn't be any clues in reality.
"The power of the curse is tainted!"
Although only one eye was visible behind the seven people, the other eye was also out of Fushiguro Keiro's sight.
Hisahito Itadori immediately lost the ability to resist such a claim.
After all, those two cursed spirits are definitely the culprits we're looking for.
"This is Kanagawa! The Shohoku basketball team is located here!"
In reality, the most difficult problem in that case was actually the exorcism.
Because Kugizaki Nobara is right.
"Kugizaki Nobara asked."
"So, weren't you going to chase after those remnants of cursed power and retreat?"
Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugizaki shouted at the same time.
"It is the remnant of cursed power."
The driver of the car was still the same assistant supervisor, Kiyoshi Ijichi.
As expected, Fushiguro Keiro stopped the pursuit after taking advantage of Itadori Yuuji's words.
"How can he be so sure that you live outside the world of comics, that you are characters created by someone else?"
Concentrating intently, we slowly came to see the remnants of the cursed power.
What is surprising is the manner in which we died.
Cai Guangchen reminded him.
...
Fushiguro Keiro was quite interested in those two large monsters.
I will use the remaining time to truly experience it.
That was a super-grade cursed spirit that lacked intelligence.
In the screening room where eight middle school students were murdered, seven people stopped in their tracks.
"But after that, you'll need to take care of those guys first."
Fukuro Eiro nitpicked.
Fushiguro Keiro spread his hands and said.
"You can have it!"
I'm only interested in weaker guys, like real people who are top-tier cursed spirits.
Seeing this, Kugizaki Nobara clapped her hands to stop Fushiguro Keiro from pursuing her.
But something unusual happened right afterward: it was very slow.
After arriving, Fushiguro Eiro and his eight companions appointed Kanagawa as the commander-in-chief among the seven.
"What's so obvious about it?"
From the case analysis, the most difficult part of that case was finding the target without knowing how.
