After finishing the stew, Hyuga Gen watched the news for a while. Seeing that there was nothing of interest, he returned to his bedroom and reopened the wooden box.

For some reason, Hyuga Gen always felt a voice in his heart tempting him to put on the mask, but Hyuga Gen had lived two lives, and the superposition of his mental strength made him ignore the voice.

His mental strength is currently the only area where he is stronger than a normal person.

Just then, Gen suddenly remembered that Tama had once gained the power to summon the Shadow Legion without wearing a mask, probably because she had a tattoo on her ankle.

Moreover, Xiaoyu did not initially show any signs of being corrupted by darkness after getting the tattoo.

So, if one's mental strength is strong enough and one possesses the magic to remove tattoos at any time, would it be possible to fully utilize the power of a mask through sashimi without wearing one?

If anything seems amiss, they immediately use magic to remove the tattoo.

But this kind of magic might only be possessed by my father. How to learn this magic without revealing Niga's mask is a big problem. Or perhaps we could try to use the power of the conglomerate to buy the formula for this potion from my father overseas.

However, these are not problems that can be solved in a short time.

"We can only wait and see if the sorcerer who comes tomorrow can solve this."

Thinking about the sorcerer the butler was going to arrange for tomorrow, Hyuga Gen simply stopped thinking about it and went back to bed, quickly falling asleep.

"Quack, quack, quack!"

When Xiang Yuan woke up again, it was already noon the next day. Hearing the constant cawing of crows outside, he checked the time and realized, well, he didn't have to go to school today.

After a quick wash, Hyuga Gen, feeling a bit hungry, glanced at the empty refrigerator, stroked his chin, and muttered to himself:

"Now that I'm so rich, should I hire a maid to cook for me and clean my room? Do any rich young masters cook for themselves?"

"Ding-dong"

Just then, the doorbell rang. Hyuga Gen immediately thought of Mrs. Yumiko next door, so he rushed over and opened the door.

"Yumiko Fu"

"Quack, quack!"

As soon as Hinata Gen opened the door, he saw a flock of crows suddenly disperse from the doorway, revealing a tall, adult woman whose face was mostly covered by a thick braid.

He was also pulling a large suitcase with his right hand.

Good morning, Hinata-kun.

Looking at the woman before him, Hyuga Gen searched his memory and realized he didn't recognize her, so he asked in confusion:

"Who are you?"

The woman smiled upon hearing this, tossed her long hair in front of her face, and began to introduce:

"Nice to meet you. I am Meimei, the former assistant supervisor of Tokyo Metropolitan High School of Jujutsu and a first-class jujutsu master. From today onwards, I will be responsible for protecting Hinata-kun's safety. Please take care of me."

"Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School? That sounds familiar."

Hearing this somewhat familiar school name, isn't this the school of the protagonist in the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" that I watched in my previous life? I think the protagonist's name was Itadori Yuuji.

It's another extremely dangerous world.

Unfortunately, he hadn't finished watching the anime, so he didn't recognize the first-level sorcerer named Mingming in front of him. Thinking of this, Hyuga Gen wanted to slap himself. Why didn't he finish watching it back then?

"Aren't you going to invite me in, Hinata-kun?"

"How could this be? Please come in, Ms. Mingming."

"Just call me Mingming, Hyuga-kun."

Hearing the mature woman's voice in his ear, Hinata Gen finally realized what was happening and immediately stepped aside to welcome Mingming inside.

After brewing two cups of tea, Hyuga Gen sat down opposite Mingming and casually asked:

Are there many level-one sorcerers like Sister Mingming in the country?

Mingming didn't pay attention when Hinata Gen called her "sister," and after taking a sip of tea, she slowly said:

"Level 1 sorcerers, there are a certain number of them active in Tokyo, but I can assure you that my strength is among the top of the level 1 sorcerers."

"Please don't worry about that, Hyuga-kun. Since I've received a large sum of money from the Hyuga Group, I naturally won't let you suffer the slightest harm, unless I die."

Seeing Mingming's confidence, Hyuga Gen didn't elaborate on the topic and instead let Mingming explain it to him.

After more than ten minutes of explanation, Hyuga Gen gradually understood what he had seen last night.

Curses are generated from negative human emotions (such as resentment, regret, pain, shame, etc.), and these negative emotions can form destructive curse spirits under certain conditions.

Meanwhile, Gen Hinata also learned about what happened at Shibuya Station last night.

After Hinata Gen left, the subway train that he and Nanao Akane missed was unfortunately struck by a cursed spirit when it reached the middle of the route before the next station, and all the passengers perished.

It is said that the pressure of living in Tokyo was too great, and more and more people were committing suicide by lying on the train tracks, which led to the resentment growing to a critical point, which triggered this incident.

To prevent public panic, the authorities covered up the incident, which is why Gen Hinata didn't see any news reports about it.

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Gen felt his hair stand on end, his face turned pale, and he felt a wave of fear wash over him.

Thankfully, I managed to drag Nanao Akane to Shibuya last night so we could have a good time. Otherwise, the two of us would probably have become food for the cursed spirits.

At this moment, Mingming also noticed Hinata Gen's expression and waved her hand in front of Hinata Gen a few times.

"Hinata-kun? Hinata-kun? What's wrong? You look terrible."

"I'm fine, just a little shaken. I almost got on that subway last night."

"That's really lucky."

Upon hearing that Hyuga Gen had almost gotten into trouble, Mingming nodded. No wonder the Hyuga Group spent so many yen to hire him, a freelance sorcerer, as the bodyguard of this young master Hyuga.

Thinking about the commission that the Hyuga Foundation promised him every month, he couldn't help but feel that Hyuga Gen was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Washing seaweed, washing seaweed!"

Just then, Hyuga Gen's cell phone rang. When he answered it, he saw that it was his butler calling.

"Feed the housekeeper."

"Young Master, has Miss Mingming gone there yet?"

Hearing the butler's concerned voice on the phone, Hyuga Gen glanced at Mingming, who had already walked away on his own, and nodded, saying:

"Yes, Mingming just arrived at my place, and we're chatting together now."

The butler on the other end of the phone said apologetically:

"That's good. Young master, let me tell you, I originally wanted to hire a top-level sorcerer to protect you."

"But right now, all the top-level sorcerers are unavailable, so we can only ask a well-known first-level sorcerer in the industry to go. Please forgive us."

After hearing this, Hyuga Gen smiled and said:

"Sister Mingming is a really nice person. I'm already very satisfied. After all, top-level sorcerers don't just serve one person. They need to be responsible for the safety of more people."

"By the way, butler, I have a question. How many yen did you promise to pay Sister Mingming?"
