"So you're a high school student, what do you do with so many criminal laws?"

Looking at the girl in front of her, who had been open and closed for a few years, Kashiwagi sat in her seat as if she was weak and laughing. At the same time, he turned his head and looked at the black cat again.

"And we can't be sure whether this cat is a curse or not, everything will have to wait for the investigation team to see it."

"But ......" Listening to Kashiwagi's words, Yang Momo seemed to want to say something more.

But then, her voice was interrupted by Kashiwagi with a gesture.

"No but. Alright, take it easy. Anyway, I injured this cat. As an adult, I'm not so pitiful that I want a little hairy kid like you to take responsibility. So rest assured, this matter will not implicate you. ”

"Oops, I didn't mean that!"

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Yang Momo jumped up from the sofa, and after yelling, he had to hold his hot forehead with his hand and force himself to say calmly.

"As long as I have participated in the operation, I can't run away, after all, there is evidence everywhere on the riverbank. I mean, we're really poking the big basket this time. According to the data checked on those meters just now, although it is incredible, the possibility that this cat is a curse has exceeded seventy percent. ”

"Seventy percent of you know, we've got more than seventy percent of the time. If one piece is damaged, it may affect the lives of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people in the future. Damn, I really can't calm down......"

"I know, trust me, you've made it clear enough, that's why you need to be more sane at this point."

Helplessly, he put his palm on his face and wiped it, and Kashiwagi got up and poured a glass of water for the girl.

"Now, let's take a closer look at how about recovering the matter, and let's just collect evidence."

"Okay, of course, no problem......"

While taking the water, the girl sighed in annoyance, and only after a half-loud voice did she ask faintly, "Where do you want to start?" ”

"Well, let's start with how you can tell that this cat is a spell. After that, I still have some details that I don't understand and want to ask you. ”

Walking slowly to the desk, Kashiwagi casually turned on the recording function of the telephone landline. As he just said, if you record more evidence, you can't go wrong.

"Understood, then this time, I will try to be as detailed as possible."

Holding the water and taking a shallow sip, Yang silently took two meters and approached the black cat who was still with big eyes. Then he set the water glass aside, and explained to Kashiwagi with two hands, holding a dial in each hand.

"You see, now the physical distance between me and this cat is about two meters, and the value on the psionic meter has jumped to 20 Pa, which is equivalent to the psionic strength of a human-level spirit. However, the hands on the table of calamity did not respond in the slightest. What does this mean, it means that while maintaining a distance of two meters, the black cat's calamity cannot have an observable effect on my body. That is, the evil spirit in its body cannot reach anything two meters away. ”

With that, the girl continued to take a step forward.

At the same time, all the meters in her hands also changed. One jumped to 40 Pa, while the other stopped at 1 Pa.

"A calamity of less than 5 Pa is an unfortunate misfortune that cannot cause harm to the body of an ordinary person. Psionics, on the other hand, have stronger resistance, and can almost ignore ill-pours below 15 Pa. Through this data analysis, this cat has no serious threat to the surrounding life forms for the time being. The ratio of psionic reactions to calamity reactions is uncertain, but the range of calamity fluctuations is less than 1.5 meters, which is at the isolation level of a regular spell. ”

"Why is the response ratio uncertain?"

At this time, Kashiwagi interjected inappropriately.

After all, the data of forty to one has clearly been derived, and the black cat's calamity ratio should have been determined.

"Because the meter model you have here is so old, data less than 1 will also be counted as 1."

Speechlessly, he rolled his eyes at Kashiwagi.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Momo seemed to prove himself. He stepped forward and put the psionic meter and the calamity meter on the black cat's body.

For a while, the sound of the values beating in the dial was endless. It wasn't until two breaths later that it gradually subsided.

"Well, in the case of zero contact, the psionic value has risen to 120 Pa, but the Calamity value has just entered the range of 2 Pa, how do you think I should determine the data?"

"Okay." Kashiwagi also had a deep understanding of his old instruments, so he shrugged his shoulders quite calmly: "Then what do you mean by conventional spells?" ”

"It's about the classification of spells, and it's normal that you don't know."

He lowered his head and removed the meter from the black cat's body. At this time, the girl's movements can be described as extraordinarily gentle. It's as if you're facing something precious and fragile.

"Normally, spells are based on their level of isolation, which is how effective they are at shielding from calamity. There are three types of secondary spells: regular spells, and special spells. Among them, the secondary spell can shield most of the calamities of the resentful spirits to the extent that they cannot threaten the lives of the psionic people, and the range of the calamity radiation is no more than ten meters. Conventional spells are even better, they can make the calamity of resentful spirits unable to threaten the lives of ordinary people, and the radiation range is less than or equal to three meters. For example, my Buddha of Happiness belongs to this level. ”

"Finally, there are the special spells, which have a very good isolation effect, and the most powerful ones can even seal the calamity completely. At the same time, it is precisely because of this that among the three hundred and three super-grade spells currently known, the ones imprisoned are also the most terrifying group of resentful spirits so far. It is an extremely important strategic resource. ”

"...... like this"

He touched his chin thoughtfully, and then Kashiwagi asked a new question.

"Then this cat, as a living entity, can it still act as a curse after death? If not, its value will be greatly reduced. Also, in my impression. The spells that can seal the evil spirits are all things that are closely related to their experiences in life. In this case, is this cat already involved in a ghost? ”

"Whew."

Perhaps because he had said too much, Yang Momo turned his head and drank a sip of water first, and then continued to explain to Kashiwagi.

"First of all, I think that after the death of this cat, eighty percent of it also has the ability to seal resentful spirits. In other words, what can really be used as a spell should be its skeleton, just like the monkey claw of the special spell. Luckily, what we damaged earlier happened to be its skeleton. ”

"Secondly, there are many ways to classify spells in addition to the isolation level. Among them, there are specific types of spells based on the spirits they can seal, and general-purpose spells. For example, the Buddha statue in my hand is a specific type of mantra. And this cat, if nothing else, will probably be a general-purpose spell. ”

"Universal."

Nodding clearly, probably to ease the atmosphere, Kashiwagi subconsciously quipped.

"Then this cat may still be a very rare breed."

However, when the girl heard such a joke, she could not laugh at all. He even squatted on the ground in frustration, while burying his face in the crook of his arm.

"So, we're finished."
