Chapter 70
The moment he heard about the Panxing Sect, Xia Youjie almost thought that the rotten organization was up to something again.
The memories of last year lingered in his mind for a long time, and he was silent for a long time before he found his voice again.
"Let's go."
The boy's lowered voice was a little hoarse.
He followed Kamado Miyazato and left the high school.
…
[Although, it’s okay to leave the destroyed wall over there hhhhh]
[Principal Night Moth: Who is it! ? Gojo Satoru, come out here! 】
[Why did Ah Liu suddenly mention Panxing Sect? I was shocked. Could it be because of that spirit-chanting woman?]
【See the flow: Dancing in Brother Jie’s minefield.jpg】
[Why does Liu want to take Jie to Panxing Sect? 】
[Is Liubao okay? He seemed to have a nosebleed just now. Does he really not need to rest?]
Shen Du Jianliu suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Geto Xiayou also stopped because of his actions.
The two had left the playground and walked to the gate of the technical college. If they walked a little further, they would be able to get down the mountain completely.
"Jay."
Shen Du Jian Liu glanced at him sideways, tilted his head and asked calmly, "Should we not worry about the wall that was broken just now?"
Xia Youjie: “…”
ah.
The air inexplicably fell into an awkward situation where no one responded.
After staring at each other with Kamado Kenryu for a few seconds, Xia Youjie suddenly curled his lips and revealed an understandably fake smile.
"It's okay, we've come this far anyway..."
"So let's run away?"
Maybe the teacher will think that it was Wu who did it.
"oh."
Shen Du saw that Liu listened to the other party obediently and quickened his pace.
Geto Suguru doesn't seem to be the good student with good conduct as he appears to be.
He looked away thoughtfully.
Coming to the bustling commercial street, the flow of people here is much greater than that of the college in the suburbs. You can see strangers passing by every few steps.
"See the flow..."
"What mission are you talking about?"
Xia Youjie looked at the people coming and going around him, until he completely left the suburbs of the high school and saw the busy streets and the clear blue sky above his head, his mind calmed down a little.
There is no auxiliary supervision.
There were no people with windows nearby.
When he heard Shen Du Jian Liu's invitation before, he subconsciously thought that the Panxing Sect had encountered a cursed spirit, and shamelessly wanted to entrust the senior specialist to deal with it.
At worst, it's some disgusting and crappy stuff related to Tianyuan.
But there wasn't even an auxiliary supervisor outside to take them to the mission location.
This means that the two people are now acting completely alone.
"It's my last mission, and it has something to do with Panxing Sect."
Kamado Miru did not answer Geto Suguru's question in detail: "So I'm going to go take a look."
"Last mission?"
"So... do you know where the Panxing Cult is?"
Geto Suguru was not sure how the missions were accepted within the Big Three. It was possible that Kamado Mikari's family or his direct superiors had assigned him the relevant tasks.
But it always feels too hasty.
He did know the approximate location of the Panxing Sect, after all, he had been there once.
Xia Youjie will never forget what happened that day. He just can't understand what the white-haired boy in front of him is trying to do, and when he became related to the Panxing Sect.
"Um."
"I know, don't worry."
Kamado Miru had seen a map of Tokyo before and had memorized all the buildings in the twenty-three wards.
Without any prior investigation or other preparations, he could directly take Geto Suguru to the headquarters of the Panxing Sect - the House of the Children of the Stars.
However, the white-haired boy who said this suddenly dodged and rushed forward after taking a few steps.
He grabbed the collar of the little boy, who was about to fall backwards onto the road, and put him into the area inside the fence.
"Don't sit on the road railing next time. It's dangerous."
"Huh?"
"Thank you, big brother..."
The child was stunned, and it took him and his mother, who was queuing up to buy something not far away, a few seconds to realize how dangerous it was.
After confirming that they were fine, Shen Du Jianliu returned to the black-haired boy with a calm expression.
Xia Youjie: “…”
The words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.
It took less than 10 seconds for Shen Du Jianliu to rush over and come back. The topic was too different. The black-haired boy was silent for two seconds before he said dryly: "That's great... I helped that little boy."
"Um."
After receiving the approval of the desperate people, Shen Du Jianliu nodded in a good mood.
The two continued forward and soon arrived at the subway entrance.
Stepping into the cool underground passage, the white-haired boy noticed a young woman with anxious and confused eyes standing next to the valve, holding a map in her hand, looking at a loss. The woman took the initiative to walk over again.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Ah... classmate, can I ask if you know how to get to Higashi-Shinjuku?"
"I-I'm totally lost."
"This is Genmu-Nakayama Station on the Tozai Line."
Kamado Miru pointed at the map in the other person's hand and said, "You can take the train from here to Otemachi and transfer to the Marunouchi Line, or continue to Iidabashi Station and transfer to the Oedo Line to Higashi-Shinjuku Station."
"Shall I write it down?"
"No... no need! So that's how it is. That really helps a lot!"
The negative emotion in the woman's eyes faded a lot.
She lowered her head and thanked him repeatedly, then put away the map and turned to leave the gate.
After watching the other person walk towards the bus, Shen Du Jianliu withdrew his gaze without any expression and obediently returned to the side of a certain young man.
“…”
Geto Xiayou fell into deep thought.
Until he got off the subway, Kamado Miru helped a total of 6 people along the way, including but not limited to helping an elderly person with their luggage, giving up his seat to a young mother holding a child, and other good deeds.
There was a station with a lot of people, and Shen Du Jianliu even took the initiative to let go of the safety handle above his head to let others hold it.
His legs were steady, but his thin and frail figure made people subconsciously feel worried.
When the subway was about to arrive at the station, it jolted violently due to inertia. Xia Youjie quickly grabbed the other person's thin wrist and motioned for Kamado Kenru to hold his arm.
He opened his mouth to say something, but looking at the other person's clear and puzzled purple eyes, he closed his mouth silently.
So, this guy...
Seems like an extremely nice guy.
The kind of person who would rather suffer injustice himself than not take care of others.
Geto Suguru suddenly refreshed his understanding of Kamado Mikari.
He used to give up his seat or provide help to the disadvantaged, but never to this extent, as if helping others had become an indispensable part of their lives.
"Jianliu, do you usually do this kind of thing?"
"This kind of thing?"
Kamado Kenryu glanced at the black-haired boy's expression, and scanned the commercial street they had just arrived at as they walked.
"You mean helping those in need?"
"Well...why are you helping them?"
"Because the strong should not bully the weak, and the powerful should protect the weak?"
Xia Yujie didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he asked this question.
Indeed, this was my previous unshakable theory.
But when he saw this group of ordinary people, his first reaction was not to help them.
Not only that, a group of wrinkled faces echoed in his mind. Xia Youjie told himself again and again that this was a very normal phenomenon and that all human beings have an ugly side.
He still felt sick.
Do sorcerers exist to protect non-sorcerers?
Bullshit theory, he no longer wanted to think about it.
Eliminate all non-sorcerers... This theory doesn't work. Perhaps only when you are desperate and have no other options will you choose this path.
Xia Youjie himself didn't understand what he wanted to do now.
"Jay, your question is weird."
Shen Du Jianliu noticed that there was a hint of fatigue in the other person's eyes. He stopped and pulled the other person to a shady place covered by a shed.
The scorching sun was blocked by the iron shed above his head. Shen Du Jian Liu's eyes were serious and he asked as a matter of course:
“Do you need a reason to help others?”
Spreading hope is the meaning of his life.
Xia Youjie was stunned for a moment, and noticed that the white-haired boy was about to turn around and leave again. He couldn't help but raise his hand and grab the other's arm.
"Where are you going again?"
"Go get some candy."
Kamado Kenryu pointed to the shop with a shed. The owner was sitting behind the refrigerator at the counter, fanning himself and yawning.
It looks like a small shop.
"I won't go far."
“It’s important to help people who need saving, but Jay is more important to me.”
The known desperate people are the ones you need to pay the most attention to.
Shen Du Jian Liu took out a bank card from his pocket: "I still want to buy you some candy. Do you like mint flavor?"
Xia Youjie: “…”
[It’s a critical hit, family members]
【Who can not be moved by this】
[Wow, Jianliu is really nice. He is always helping others.]
[+1, every time I watch his live broadcast, I can feel the positive energy and forget a lot of unhappy things]
Xia Youjie didn't know how he followed the Shen Du Jianliu to the Panxing Sect.
With a mint candy in his mouth, he raised his head in silence and stared at the building standing in front of him.
I thought that coming to this place again, my heart would be very confused.
In fact, Geto Suguru is particularly calm now.
Maybe the mint in my mouth was too refreshing.
"Jianliu, can you tell me what your last mission was?"
"Why is it related to Panxing Religion?"
"Because the legal representative of Panxing Cult wanted to assassinate the person I was protecting in my last mission."
Shen Du Jian Liu pushed open the door of the Star Child's House with a knife in hand and said calmly, "So I'm going to kill him."
"Huh?"
"Wait, assassination...?"
"You mean to say you're here to kill the people of Panxing Sect?"
Xia Youjie widened his eyes slightly in surprise. He had never expected that the other party's purpose was so straightforward.
As the two were talking, the door of the conference hall not far away was pushed open, and many elderly people who came to attend the church's preaching came out of the house.
Looking at their aged faces, the black-haired boy's straight and strong body froze in place.
Same background, same people.
What remains unchanged is the situation at this moment.
The ugly face that had been flooding into my mind in the form of nightmares day and night finally appeared before my eyes again.
Shen Du Jianliu didn't have so many concerns and directly called out to a middle-aged man.
"Where is Sonoda Shigeru?"
"Sonoda...? You rude child!"
The middle-aged man frowned with some dissatisfaction on his face, and raised his voice to lecture him: "Is it right for a nobody like you to call Mr. Sonoda by his name?"
"He is the one who led us to listen to the scriptures. If you want to see him, you must follow the procedures."
"Really, that's so rude."
"Yeah."
A man with a slightly mature tone walked out of the conference room behind the other party.
There was a sore on the other person's forehead, his eyes were narrowed, and his hair was neatly combed back with hairspray.
"Our church welcomes every believer equally. As long as you understand our only god, Lord Tianyuan, you will definitely..."
"Um?"
"You kid." Sonoda Shigeru narrowed his eyes and looked at Geto Suguru who was standing there, and stopped.
"Isn't he the sorcerer from the academy who escorted the astral plasma?"
"Why, have you finally realized that the decision I've been waiting for was the right one?"
"That little girl with astral plasma dared to defile Lord Tianyuan. She deserves to die."
Xia Yujie stood there with an unchanged expression, and his five fingers slowly clenched together.
Before he could act subconsciously, a stream of blood splattered on his face.
…
blood?
The black-haired boy raised his head belatedly and found that the man named Shigeru Sonoda had his brain pierced by the blade.
The other person's expression remained unchanged from the previous second, and there was no extra reaction before he died.
"See the flow..."
"You killed him?"
Geto Xiayou's voice was hoarse.
"Um."
Shen Du Jian Liu drew his blade expressionlessly and said indifferently: "Kill the others as well."
"What?"
"Wait, wait..." Xia Youjie took a step forward. He looked at the hall that suddenly became quiet, and the ordinary people around him who had not yet reacted to what happened: "Do you know what you are saying?"
"Know."
"I said kill them all."
Shen Du Jianliu carefully stared at the changes in the expression on the black-haired boy's face and said puzzledly: "Jie should not have any relatives or ties with them."
"Will you feel despair because of their death?"
"No...I have nothing to do with them."
but.
How can you kill ordinary people so casually?
Although he had thought about killing all these people at that time, and Wu had made a similar suggestion, he refused.
Because it doesn't make much sense...
"Then it's all right."
"As long as they don't feel any pain before they die."
Kamado Kenryu interrupted Geto's thoughts.
He did not close the scabbard, but leaned down slightly and rushed towards all the ordinary people present at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.
“……!?!?”
"etc!!"
Xia Youjie wanted to stop him in disbelief: "Don't be so impulsive!"
However, it was too late.
All the ordinary people in the hall were knocked to the ground. They didn't even have time to react and all fell to the ground in an instant.
There were both men and women among those people, mostly elderly people. They closed their eyes with pale faces, and no longer had the smiling and clapping look as I remembered.
For some reason, Geto Suguru didn't feel relieved at all.
The clapping smiling face turned into a dead face with eyes closed.
He suddenly covered his mouth, wanting nothing more than to vomit.
Cold sweat covered his forehead and the scene in front of him was distorted.
It's like a dream.
The handsome white-haired boy stood calmly in the middle of the "corpse". He held the knife in one hand and turned his head to look over calmly.
"I didn't kill them."
"……ah?"
Xia Yujie kept covering his lips and raised his head blankly.
Shen Du Jianliu shook off the bloodstains on the back of the knife, picked up the scabbard on the ground and slowly put it together.
"I just chopped it with the back of the knife."
"I just made them all pass out."
The pale-skinned boy blinked, stared at Geto Suguru's expression, and suddenly smiled.
"You're relieved, Jay."
"I heard from the assistant supervisor about your relationship with the Panxing Cult."
"You still have good intentions towards those who are not sorcerers."
“…”
Xia Yujie didn't say anything.
He lowered his eyes little by little, and also stood in the middle of this group of "corpses", looking at everything around him absurdly.
For a moment, he felt that the people at his feet were really blood-stained corpses.
The scene fell into a gray tone, and the blood splashed next to it was actually the pattern on his face.
Perhaps at a certain time and space, he had killed everyone with his own hands and walked on the path he had chosen without looking back.
The group of Panxing followers on the ground were the purgatory worlds where he had killed many people and thus overlapped with them.
"What should I do?"
"See the flow."
Xia Youjie's throat, which should have been gentle and pleasant, was unusually hoarse and he was almost unable to speak.
"What is a sorcerer and what is not a sorcerer... I can no longer tell the difference."
There were corpses everywhere on both sides.
"Don't worry."
The white-haired boy's voice was steady and clear, and his sincere tone had a very soothing power.
"I am willing to accompany you to find new solutions."
“Until you find it.”
Shen Du Jianliu held his slightly trembling hands.
"Because we are very good friends."
…
Sitting on the subway to the technical high school, Xia Youjie finally spoke after a long silence.
"Jianliu, do you know how cursed spirits were born?"
"Um."
Probably clear.
He learned about the situation in this world from the comments and the assistant supervisors.
"Then you should know that without cursed energy, there will be no cursed spirits." Xia Youjie lowered his eyes and stared at his fingers. He spoke his thoughts without reservation: "In fact, I have been thinking about it recently."
"Since killing all non-sorcerers won't work..."
"So what if we turn everyone's spell power to zero?"
"A sorcerer once discussed her theory with me. I had not considered this idea originally, and it was a viewpoint she abandoned."
"Because the last person who was similar to Jianliu, Tianyou Juefu, refused the research proposal and was killed by Wu."
“But it’s different now.”
Xia Youjie no longer concealed his inner thoughts. What happened today made him face himself again.
People cannot be stuck in the past and stand still.
Shen Du Jian Liu helped him jump out of the confused and disgusting quagmire.
"Miru, do you have any unique feelings about 0 cursed power?"
“I want to try to research this aspect.”
“…”
Shen Du Jianliu held the Soul-Releasing Sword in his arms and coughed with his hands against his lips.
Strictly speaking, he is not the god or curse of this world.
The strongest in terms of physical strength is entirely due to human experiments.
"Let me ask for you."
"Ask?"
"Well, you know I report directly to the top management."
Since those so-called high-level officials are the highest authority in the world of sorcery, they should have secret records that can be used or provide him with relevant research.
No matter what happens, you can ask the system.
Shen Du Jianliu is not from this world, and strictly speaking, the system here has nothing to do with him.
As long as we can provide help to Geto Suguru and eliminate his despair, any attempt is worth it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next stop is: Log Zhongshan Station."
"The tram will open its doors on the left."
The broadcast in the subway suddenly sounded at this moment, and the two people had returned to the suburbs near the college.
It took them less than two hours from departure to return.
"Jay."
Feeling the bloody taste in his mouth again, Shen Du Jianliu remembered something and took out a handkerchief from his pocket.
After swallowing the blood, the boy raised his hand and handed over the cloth.
"I have already washed the handkerchief you gave me last time."
"Thanks."
"Handkerchief? Ah..."
Of course, Geto Suguru did not forget the time when Kamado Miru suddenly had a nosebleed, and he gave his handkerchief to him.
"It's okay. Are you feeling well now?"
"We walked a lot today. Are you tired?"
"Would you like me to carry you back?"
Geto Xiayou looked at the white-haired boy's lip color with concern, because Kamado Miru always looked pale, and he was not sure about the other party's physical condition.
I remember the other person was coughing in the subway just now.
Blame him for being so focused on his own things on the way back that he didn't take good care of the other person.
Shen Du Jian Liu: "..."
His body is not that fragile.
"I'm fine."
He denied it without hesitation, and Kamado Miru wanted to pull up Geto's hand and return the handkerchief to him.
However, when he was about to touch the black-haired boy's palm, he seemed to touch some barrier.
The movement stopped strangely in mid-air.
"Hey, you..."
"Stay away from Jay!"
Gojo Satoru's voice sounded from not far away.
He twisted his delicate eyebrows, strode towards this side, and directly reached out and snatched the handkerchief from Shen Du Jianliu's hand.
"Enlightenment?"
Xia Youjie looked at him in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"…This is the only way back to the technical high school. Is it weird that I'm here?"
Gojo Satoru was nearly choked to death by his best friend.
He just went to deal with some things at noon, but he didn't expect Shen Du Jianliu to act so quickly.
You came to see Jay right after you separated from me this morning, right?
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shen Du Jianliu again, raised his fingers to pull away the sunglasses on his nose, and looked up and down at the other person's face with his dazzling blue eyes.
There is a bloody smell.
This guy must have just killed someone.
Gojo Satoru frowned, and with his eyes wide open, he looked down at the other person without blinking, without pushing his sunglasses back.
"Stay away from Jay, new guy."
For the first time, the boy's tone was tinged with coldness and ruthless warning.
…
"Enlightenment."
Xia Youjie frowned at the first moment.
Shen Du Jianliu blinked his eyelashes lightly and said nothing.
Feeling the vibration from the phone in his pocket, he was afraid that a new cursed spirit had appeared. He weighed the pros and cons based on the barrage of comments and decided to leave here temporarily.
Gojo Satoru has no upcoming missions, so he will probably go back to the technical high school with his partner.
Then there is no need to worry about the other person's safety.
Xia Youjie's mood has improved a lot today, and he knows that he can't act too hastily.
"I see. I just happen to have something else to do."
"See you at school, Jay, Gojo-san."
***
"...Really? Who wants to meet that guy at school?"
Gojo Satoru put one hand in his pocket, raised his slender arm and pressed the two buttons of the vending machine, his whole body filled with deep dissatisfaction.
At this moment, he and the black-haired boy had returned to the high school dormitory.
Geto Suguru didn't agree with Gojo Satoru.
He rubbed his temple with his thumb, watching Gojo Satoru pressing three buttons with one hand, and caught a bottle thrown by the other party with his hand, but his tone was not as gentle as before.
"Satoru, why did you say that just now?"
This guy has had some hostility towards Shen Du Jianliu since the first time they met.
Geto Suguru understands Gojo Satoru's character.
He wouldn't do this for no reason. He must have seen something and misunderstood it.
"ah?"
Gojo Satoru opened the pull ring of the can of soda and frowned again: "Do you want me to ask you this, Jay?"
"What are you angry about? Do you think I can't see it?"
"I haven't spoken since I came back."
"That guy is doing a job as a magician killer."
He made a scratching motion with his hand in front of his neck and stuck out his tongue to make an expression of being bitten off: "Every day he cleans up the mess for those rotten oranges up there. Otherwise, why do you think he doesn't have to participate in class tasks?"
Moreover, he might want to kill himself and Jay now.
Gojo Satoru did not forget the discussion between Kamado Kenryu and the Zenin family behind the scenes.
He didn't plan to tell Geto Suguru about the conversation he had overheard, so he decided to just take responsibility for the matter himself.
"Jay, let me give you a piece of advice."
"Absolutely, absolutely do not get involved with him."
Xia Youjie: “…”
The black-haired boy didn't answer.
Considering Shen Du Jianliu's performance in Panxing Sect today and what the other party said about the "previous mission", maybe what Wu said was true.
However, there was absolutely no way that guy would harm himself and Wu.
Otherwise, Shen Du Jianliu could have taken the opportunity to kill me today.
"Wu, you may have some misunderstandings about him."
Xia Youjie sighed, he walked forward, raised his hand and patted his best friend on the shoulder: "Ji Liu is a guy who acts like a pushover, he is definitely not that kind of person."
"ha?"
Gojo Satoru almost thought he had heard it wrong.
"See the flow??"
He turned his head suddenly and looked at the black-haired boy with a bun in disbelief: "Jie, when did you two become so close?"
"Enlightenment."
"Didn't I tell you that?"
Xiayou Jie smiled helplessly and stuffed the drink bottle in his hand back into Gojo Satoru's arms: "You are the only one who doubts him."
"Jianliu stayed with me for a day, he was a very nice guy."
"You may be tired recently, so go to bed early and eat less Daifuku."
Gojo Satoru: “…”
