"A Special Grade Cursed Spirit?"
Hearing Yuki Tsukumo's words, Zenin Kiyoshi was actually a little puzzled. For Yuki, it would be difficult for an ordinary Special Grade Cursed Spirit to survive even one move from her.
As of now, besides Jogo, there probably wasn't a Cursed Spirit in this world that would make Yuki Tsukumo seek help, right?
Even Jogo's strength was likely not enough to be considered a threat in front of her.
According to the original story, Suguru Geto's body, controlled by Kenjaku, could completely crush the four Disaster Curses in a one-on-one situation.
This proved that even the weakest Special Grade Sorcerer could kill a disaster-level Cursed Spirit.
And obviously, whether it was Yuki Tsukumo's ability or her own combat quality, she would not be at the bottom among the Special Grades.
Then... a Cursed Spirit that could make even Yuki feel a headache, the only possibility was that it was related to Kenjaku.
Damn it, can't this Kenjaku just take a break? Can't he let me collect everyone's affection before coming out to cause trouble?
Thinking of this, the disgust in Zenin Kiyoshi's heart for Kenjaku deepened by another layer.
However, Yuki Tsukumo obviously couldn't guess what Kiyoshi was thinking at this moment. She took out a slightly worn-out handbook from her leather jacket pocket.
Then, she threw the book to Zenin Kiyoshi and said:
"This is a powerful Cursed Spirit from over a thousand years ago, during the Heian era. And the most powerful one in this booklet is the Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga.
"I don't know what's going on recently. Although the barrier sealing Mahoraga is still being maintained by Master Tengen every year, there's always a premonition that it seems like that Mahoraga is about to be resurrected soon."
Hearing this, Zenin Kiyoshi only felt his mind in a bit of a mess.
Although the original story had mentioned some of the Cursed Spirits from the Sukuna era, those Cursed Spirits did not appear in the official plot later on.
But to be able to fight with Sukuna, and to be evaluated by him as having adaptive abilities similar to [Mahoraga], then from this, it could be proven that Mahoraga's strength was definitely at the Special Grade level, and was even comparable to a strong Special Grade like Yuta Okkotsu.
Imagining that kind of thing about to reappear in this world, Zenin Kiyoshi only felt that the future of this world was a piece of darkness.
However, since he had already promised the other party that he would accept any request, then he must also solve this matter steadily.
It was just that he still didn't know what kind of help Yuki Tsukumo wanted from the two of them.
And at this moment, looking at Zenin Kiyoshi's expression, Yuki Tsukumo naturally knew what he was worried about now. She gave him a helpless smile and then said cheerfully:
"Although the other party is Mahoraga, this matter has not been confirmed yet. Besides, so what if it is? The sorcerers from a thousand years ago were able to seal Mahoraga, so the sorcerers from a thousand years later will naturally not take it as a big deal."
As Yuki Tsukumo spoke, she patted her chest, and the slight movement of her clothes made Zenin Kiyoshi avert his eyes slightly.
After getting the cooperation conditions from Yuki Tsukumo's side, Zenin Kiyoshi also chose to cooperate with her.
He looked at the heroic Yuki Tsukumo in front of him, and then recalled the sad scene of her having only half of her body left when she died in the original story. He only felt that sometimes fate was really unpredictable.
After the two reached a cooperation, they really chatted a lot, not only about the information on the case, but also some of Yuki's own speculations about the Beika Town case.
This is what she told Zenin Kiyoshi.
"According to what she knows, cursed energy residue can actually be artificially interfered with sometimes.
"It's a deep purple bottle called the [Greed Pot]. As long as you have this thing, as long as you are in the place where the other party has stayed, the unique cursed energy residue on their body will be sucked and stored in it. When you use it again, you can just directly absorb the cursed energy that was previously stored in the cursed tool.
"And it is this method that can arrange the cursed energy on Zenin Kiyoshi's body, who was not at the scene at all, to the crime scene.
"The reason why Yuki Tsukumo didn't want to say this was basically to prevent Zenin Kiyoshi from being a scapegoat.
"In fact, after realizing that the cursed energy aura belonged to Zenin Kiyoshi, Yuki Tsukumo even took the initiative to handle and cover up those cursed energy traces for him.
"Although she hadn't met Zenin Kiyoshi at that time, and didn't even know what kind of person he was, Yuki Tsukumo only knew one thing: what the Zenin clan wanted to do was most likely a bad thing. For the things that the Zenin clan wanted to accomplish, preventing them from accomplishing them was a good thing for this world."
Although it was a bit excessive, many times, the harsh atmosphere of the Zenin clan could make everyone present feel a trace of disgust.
And what was more fatal was that before Yuki Tsukumo became a Special Grade Sorcerer, some people from the Zenin clan had already come to try to win her over, but their attitude was not particularly good, and they had some conflicts with her.
Under this premise, Yuki Tsukumo would naturally not want to help the Zenin clan.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Yuki Tsukumo always felt that this sentence was very right.
And when Zenin Kiyoshi asked why she had to investigate this case so deeply, a very gloomy expression suddenly appeared on Yuki Tsukumo's face.
"The reason I suppressed my doubts about the source of the residue, did not immediately submit a complete report to the higher-ups, and covered up your 'innocence'… is because I discovered that within that residue, there was a mixture of the unique cursed energy fluctuations of a 'Star Plasma Vessel'."
Zenin Kiyoshi's pupils contracted sharply! A Star Plasma Vessel! This word was like a cold key, instantly unlocking all the fog in his heart. Yuki Tsukumo's obsession with the Star Plasma Vessel, her abnormal pursuit of the case, everything had a reasonable explanation.
But, how could a Star Plasma Vessel be involved in such a thing? Aren't the fused Star Plasma Vessels all inside Tengen's body?
Yuki Tsukumo's voice dropped even lower, with a kind of desperate determination:
"That's not a living Star Plasma Vessel, but the cursed energy residue filled with pain and resentment left after being 'used' and 'drained'! They were mixed in with the residue fabricated to point to you like a potent poison, so faint they were almost undetectable, but that aura of despair after being 'fused' and then 'destroyed'… I will never mistake it!"
