Chapter 120 The Second Player

"If you don't come out, I'll beat you until you come out!"

Xi Haiqingdou was too lazy to even look for the entrance and exit - he chose to directly demolish the house violently.

If one "Cang" doesn't work, then use a few more. If the forward technique doesn't work, then use the reverse technique. If magic damage doesn't work, then use physical damage directly. If one spell doesn't work, then use a few more and "stack" them together.

Anyway, he doesn't know much else, just that he has a lot of cursed power and is very strong.

It is difficult to break with external force, but as long as the external force is strong enough, it can be broken!

After firing a "Cang" bullet, Xi Hai Qing Dou didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to hear some sharp, crying-like groans and howls in his ears, and the strong discomfort of being "spying" by those eyes also subsided a lot.

Xi Haiqingdou immediately "continued to be powerful".

Those walls and "eyes" were too hateful, and Xi Haiqingdou was completely unwilling to have any contact with them. Fortunately, the long umbrella in his hand could finally be put to use. Swing, chop, split, and swing - Xi Haiqingdou held the handle of the umbrella and used the black long umbrella in his hand as if it were a knife.

Ignoring all the clutter, Xi Haiqing Dou's goal was clear. He just focused on outputting, outputting, and continuing to output in the maze. He didn't know how long it took, about five minutes? Ten minutes? Or twenty minutes?

It was not until the maze completely collapsed and shattered and the surrounding sounds disappeared that he finally realized what was happening and got out.

The first thing I did when I came out was to find a place to bend over and vomit - disgusting, disgusting, that thing is really too disgusting, it has almost reached the level of mental pollution!!

When he came out, Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru and Ieiri Nozomi were not around. There was only him and a weird-looking cursed spirit.

It looks a bit like a human, with a flesh-yellow body, wrinkled skin, and eyes of different sizes all over its body, which makes people feel embarrassed if they look at it for a second longer.

The cursed spirit that had appeared after the maze disappeared immediately became angry. Xihai Qingdou could even feel that the cursed energy in its body was becoming more and more chaotic and unstable. Then, almost instantly, its aura surged and rushed towards him, instantly changing from quasi-special grade to special grade.

Xi Hai Qing Dou: “.”

...He just knew it.

The curse spirit came with great force and speed as lightning, but Xihai Qingdou did not even raise his head. He slightly bent his body, exerted strength from his waist and abdomen, and jumped backwards. Although his movements seemed as light as a feather, he easily avoided the curse spirit's movements.

Although "a quasi-first-class cursed spirit suddenly evolving into a special-class cursed spirit" and going berserk on the spot sounds very dangerous, if it was any ordinary first-class sorcerer here, it would be fatal, and even escaping might not be possible. But for "Igarashi Yuuki", there is not much difference between first-class and special-class - it's just a difference in the length of time it takes to fight.

-Oh, and by the way, it also caused him some mental trauma.

That maze looks a bit like it, a "spiritual realm" or something like that? Saikai Haruto calmly dodged the attacks of the cursed spirits while also distracting himself with thoughts.

Because he thought it was too disgusting to abandon it, he completely gave up the idea of ​​directly starting it. It was also not easy to use "Cang" because it would make too much noise, and it would not be good if it destroyed the surrounding buildings of the orphanage.

Xi Haiqing Dou simply continued to hold the black long umbrella in his hand, holding the handle tightly, using it as a "knife" and a long stick, slashing horizontally, chopping straight, sweeping diagonally, and pulling back...

The speed of the curse spirit is fast, but Xihai Qingdou's speed is countless times faster than his. The young man's eyes are fixed on the curse spirit, not as warm as usual, but cold and ruthless, with a hint of unconscious excitement and murderous intent - like a beast about to catch its prey.

His movements were so fast that people couldn't even catch them in time, and could only leave afterimages in people's retina. He was on the left side of the cursed spirit in the previous second, and before people could blink, he appeared on the right side with his umbrella in the next second.

The curse spirit jumped to the left, so he jumped to the left as well; the curse spirit chased him, so he teased the curse spirit to run. If someone could see this, they would probably think it looked no different from beckoning a cat or a dog. While he didn't want to touch the curse spirit, his hands didn't hesitate at all, swinging the long umbrella in his hand to hit the curse spirit one by one, and at the same time using the long umbrella to distance himself from it.

His movements are actually not standard - although Saikai Haruto himself does know more than one kind of fighting skills and swordsmanship, "Igarashi Yuuki" has never been exposed to any standardized systematic learning in this area, so naturally he has no way of using the so-called "standard movements".

But the absence of "norms" also means the absence of "constraints", just like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace. While taking into account speed, the force is also extremely heavy. Each movement has a strange, wild and natural beauty.

The long umbrella in his hand was like a most handy sword, as agile as his other arm, and finally pierced through the body of the cursed spirit. His hand holding the umbrella handle and his body were less than 20 centimeters away from the cursed spirit, but the cursed spirit would no longer have any chance to touch him.

Xi Haiqing Dou stabbed the tip of the umbrella out of the other side of the cursed spirit's body, but there was not a trace of blood - this is another strong evidence to prove that the cursed spirit is different from "humans" and "animals".

"Bang!"

"Eh? Wait a minute!"

A huge explosion sounded, and Xi Haiqingdou turned his head and saw that Xia Youjie suddenly appeared with a woman in his arms and ran towards him from not far away: "Don't panic, kill it!"

"Getashi-san? And there's Nozomi-san and Satoru-san."

Xi Haiqingdou turned around, and his expressionless face was replaced with a bright smile in an instant, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Where have you been? Don't worry, Xia Yu classmate, this cursed spirit is not dead yet."

As he spoke, he opened the umbrella, and the umbrella spread out, revealing a complete semi-arc surface without any damage.

"Wu said that you disappeared alone, probably because of a curse. However, with your ability, nothing serious should happen, so we are not in a hurry to find you. Let's go save these two children."

Xia Yujie explained that there was a huge balloon-like cursed spirit behind him holding two children, and it seemed that they had not woken up yet.

Xi Haiqingdou took a quick look and saw that the two children looked frightened and their clothes were stained with blood, but they had no obvious injuries. However, the woman in his arms was also intact, but her body was covered in blood, her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and she was no longer breathing.

Saikai Haruto guessed that it was Glass who used the reversal technique.

"This is the missing young female teacher. I didn't have time to save her. She died before we got there."

Xia Yujie's voice was slightly low and his face did not look too good - probably because he felt a little unwilling to accept this matter. Although if they rushed over as soon as possible, the female teacher might not survive, but there might still be some hope, instead of being completely helpless like this.

Even the face of Naoko Ieiri, who followed behind, had a look of disappointment.

Xihai Qingdou opened his mouth, and suddenly didn't know what to say at this moment.

"You're pretty fast, Yuuki."

Gojo Satoru put his hands in his pockets and walked at a neither fast nor slow pace, his steps were still as casual as always, his voice was light and cheerful, as if his mood was not affected at all.

"There's actually another cursed spirit here, and it's a first-level cursed spirit, and you've separated from us... Yuuki, your luck is really bad."

He was amazed and looked at Xihai Qingdou as if he was looking at a rare giant panda.

"It's not level one, but probably half of a special level, right?" Saikai Haruto followed Gojo Satoru's words and corrected him, "Just now, it suddenly became very violent for some reason and evolved into a special level... But now it seems to have turned back to level one? Anyway, it's a very disgusting cursed spirit."

"Igarashi, you are really unlucky... This is not just ordinary bad luck, right?"

Ieiri Shoko looked at him sympathetically - she had been with Gojo Goga and Yugetsu along the way and had not encountered any trouble at all. The first-level cursed spirit was not difficult for them to deal with, and there was no abnormal "sudden evolution" that occurred. They had mainly wasted a lot of time saving the two children.

It's totally different from Saikai Haruto, who faced a quasi-special grade cursed spirit alone and suddenly advanced in the end.

"I remember Gojo's fiancée, Haruna, was supposed to be a professional shrine maiden. It's said that she's very effective. Maybe if you have a chance in the future, Igarashi, you can go to the shrine and pray for a talisman to change your bad luck?"

"Well... I've been to dozens of shrines since I was a kid, if not hundreds, but most of them say there's no way to lift the ban."

Xi Haiqing Dou helplessly smiled bitterly and replied, "But considering that it hasn't caused me any particularly serious harm so far, I'm used to it now, so it doesn't matter."

He looked at Geto Suguru and the Curse Spirit again - or would it be more appropriate to call it the "Curse Spirit Jade" at this time?

He asked, "Grandmother, do you want to capture both of these cursed spirits and make them your Pokémon right now?"

"Wait a moment." Xia Yujie hesitated for a moment, put away the two curse jades, looked up and smiled: "Now, everyone should go out first, it is more urgent to settle the people."

His spell required him to "swallow" the cursed spirit in order to subdue it, but the taste of the cursed spirit jade was like swallowing a rag covered with vomit, which was too disgusting, and he couldn't keep his face straight yet. He was used to covering up, and his pride and arrogance didn't allow him to show anything unusual in front of his classmates and friends, so he would always find some excuses to completely subdue the cursed spirit when he was alone.

"Don't worry about him, Yuuki. Maybe Jie feels embarrassed about his privacy, so he never shows us how he subdues cursed spirits in front of us."

“Is that so…” Saikai Haruto nodded thoughtfully.

Gojo Satoru didn't take it seriously, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and a look of eagerness appeared on his face: "Ah, speaking of which, Yuuki, if you also know Jie's spell, then can you also subdue cursed spirits? How did you do it? Is it the same as Jie?"

"How can it be possible that he is exactly the same as Getsu-san?"

Xi Haiqing Dou chuckled, "Student Wu, have you forgotten? My Three Elements Simulation Technique can only last for half an hour at a time. Even if I really subdue the cursed spirit, the time for the spell copied by Student Xia Yu will pass, and the cursed spirit will naturally no longer be under my control."

"Oh, by the way, I brought candy!"

Xi Haiqingdou slapped his forehead, took out a box of candies from his pocket, opened the lid, and handed the candies to Xia Yujie with a smile: "Xia Yu classmate, do you want to try it? It will bring some changes to your spirit and mood."

"Thank you very much."

Xia Yujie was stunned for a moment, thinking that Xi Haiqing Dou must have seen that he was in a bad mood and wanted to comfort him, and his consciousness relaxed with a tense and depressed look on his face. He was still holding the young female teacher with both hands and couldn't take it with his hands. But before he hesitated and lowered his head, he saw a hand flashing in front of his eyes and quickly took two candies from Xi Haiqing Dou's hand.

"Hey, what kind of candy is this? I've never seen it before. I want to eat it too! Jay, let me help you, you're welcome!"

When Gojo Satoru saw the candies he had never seen before, his eyes lit up. He reached out and without hesitation put one candy into Xia Yujie's mouth, and then put one into his own mouth.

"Wow! It's so sour!!!"

The candy melted in his mouth, but Gojo Satoru's face was tightly wrinkled, his eyebrows could pinch flies to death, he stuck out his tongue and kept fanning his mouth with his hand: "Yuuki, what kind of candy is this, why is it so sour?! So sour!!"

Xia Yujie let out a cold breath, and the expression on his face was as wonderful as an overturned color palette. It was hard to describe, and even his hands were shaking slightly - it can be seen how sour the candies that Xi Haiqingdou gave them were.

"Igarashi, are you doing this on purpose?"

The originally curious Naoko Ieiri silently withdrew her gaze and breathed a sigh of relief - that's great, fortunately she didn't eat it.

"ah……"

Saikai Haruto silently retracted his hand that was about to stop Gojo Satoru, "Student Satoru, this is not my fault, okay? You snatched it away by yourself."

He blinked, a sly smile flashing in his eyes: "How is it? Have you changed your mood?"

Xia Yujie smiled bitterly: "I am more energetic now... But let's forget about this kind of taste next time, okay?"

"If you don't like the taste, Satoru and Geto should remember not to eat anything for ten minutes. This is a homemade candy used for pranks. Although the taste dissipates quickly, within ten minutes, anything you eat will turn into the sour taste of this candy, even if it's something with a strong taste. I've tried it, and there are no exceptions."

Saikai Haruto explained, shook the candy in his hand, took out one and threw it into his mouth, and immediately frowned like Gojo Satoru and Geto.

"Of course, I think it can be used for more than just pranks. If you feel unhappy or have trouble calming down, you can try eating a piece of candy. It is guaranteed to calm your mind quickly."

After a while, he regained his composure and tried to pass the candy to Jia Ruxiaozi: "Hey, Xiaozi, do you want one too?"

“…Eh? Okay.”

Unable to resist her curiosity, Ieiri Naoko took the candy without hesitation, but she only carefully bit half of it - and then her expression became as distorted as Gojo Satoru and the others.

"Wow, so sour!!"

"Nose classmate, it will be useless even if you only eat half of it." Xi Haiqingdou couldn't help but chuckle.

"Within ten minutes, everything you eat will taste like candy"... Xia Yujie's mind moved, and he suddenly remembered the Curse Spirit Jade. If he ate the Curse Spirit Jade within ten minutes... would he no longer feel the nauseating taste of the Curse Spirit Jade?

In a flash, a thought flashed through my mind -

Did Igarashi do this on purpose?

Had he ever tried the taste of the Curse Jade before, so at this moment, he suddenly took out this kind of candy with a sour and strange taste, which was so overbearing that it could cover other flavors?

He suddenly looked up at Xi Hai Qing Dou.

As if they had telepathic connection, the baby-faced boy with black hair and green eyes also happened to fix his gaze on him, with a smile in his eyes.
