Chapter 156 The Second Player

"Seems to know nothing"... This sentence is well used, Xi Haiqing Dou simply couldn't be more satisfied.

Since Gojo Satoru and his team took on the Star Plasma mission, only one day has passed in this world - they took on the mission yesterday, today's itinerary is in Okinawa, and tomorrow afternoon is the time when the mission will end - that is to say, the total number of things that have happened or will happen is only two days.

But in another world, what happened in these two days was updated in five or six chapters in a row in the comics.

Although it is unclear how long the interval between each chapter of the comic is in the other world, according to the comments in the forum, it is obviously not as short as in this world.

In these five or six chapters of the comic, there are very few scenes about "Igarashi Yuuki". There are only one or two scenes of him in Aomori, which depict his experiences in the past few days - exorcising cursed spirits in the countryside; accidentally getting lost under the influence of the cursed spirits' spells, losing his mobile phone, and being separated from his assistant supervisor; accidentally entering a remote, backward and ignorant village; in the village, he found a pair of twin girls who were born with the ability to see cursed spirits, but were locked up and abused by the villagers as unlucky people; he rescued the two girls, took them away and sent them to the hospital, beat up the villagers and called the police, and then caught a few cursed spirits and threw them back to the village...

Although it seems that when Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru are not around, "Igarashi Yuuki"'s life is quite colorful, however, she only appears in one or two scenes in each episode, or sometimes never appears in an entire episode. She only exists in the mouths of Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru and Shinobu Fushiguro.

And seeing that he hasn't been able to get in touch with Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, or even Fushiguro Shijiro, the forums couldn't help but get anxious, asking him resentfully when he would be able to appear... It can't be that they have to wait until the astral plasma body incident is completely over while he still stays in Aomori and knows nothing about this matter, right?

Even in the forum, some people joked that they actually got scripts from different crews. Gojo Satoru's script was "Temptation of Travel", Fushiguro Shige's was "Assassination", and Igarashi Yuki's was "Today's Statement: Saving Abused Children" - under the comparison of the actions of the two sides, it seems even more like they are in two different comics with unsynchronized styles.

——So when does he plan to go back?

Even the system couldn't help but ask this question out of curiosity.

[Well...] ​​Saikai Haruto answered slowly in his mind, without any nervousness: [At least you have to wait until I settle Mimiko and Nanako, okay? Otherwise, wouldn't that be too irresponsible?]

——Mimiko and Nanako were the names of the two little girls he rescued from the village. Because their whole family could see cursed spirits, they were regarded as "monsters" by the villagers. Their parents were killed by the villagers, and the two of them had been locked in cages and abused since they were born. Although they were about five years old, they looked only three or four years old.

Although most of Saikai Haruto's original "getting lost" was fake, the fact that he would walk into that village and meet Mimiko and Nanako was indeed beyond his expectation.

He did remember that in the previous week, the twin sisters were adopted by Hanayamain Haruna and Kagome Geto after they met them a year later. He also remembered the general location, Saikai Haruto, but he originally thought that he would wait until the astral plasma incident was over and then find time to trick the others to come and look for them... He didn't expect that he would get lost here this time.

I don't know whether his luck is good or bad this time.

But now that he had seen it, there was no reason for him to return empty-handed. He would let two girls of such young age continue to stay in the cage in that village and continue to be abused for another ten days, half a month, or even half a year or a year. Xi Hai Qing Dou thought that although he was not a good person, he was not such a cold-hearted person.

Since we have encountered them in advance, we might as well take them away in advance - although the plan has been disrupted a little, as long as it has nothing to do with the players, it will not be a big problem.

So he immediately rescued the two girls from that ignorant and backward village, sent them to the hospital, and then called the police. Anyone who tried to stop him was beaten up by him - it was obvious that the two little girls had been locked up in cages for years, and who knew how much abuse they had suffered. It would be better for them to have a few more physical examinations and stay in the hospital longer.

As for the villagers who abused them, Xi Haiqing Dou directly captured a few cursed spirits from other places in Aomori and threw them into the village.

If he likes to treat children who can see cursed spirits as "monsters", then he might as well let them see how real monsters will treat them.

He then reported the matter to the police and planned to inform the media later and sue them all - regardless of whether they could see the cursed spirit or not, they were just two ordinary girls and would naturally be protected by the law.

Intentional homicide, illegal imprisonment, intentional injury, child abuse...these charges combined are not light, and if things get out of hand, it will make the people even more angry. At least those ignorant villagers should pay a price, right?

Xi Haiqing Dou didn't think that what he did was excessive at all.

Although there has always been a rule in the world of sorcery that sorcerers cannot attack ordinary people, but those guys...are not considered human beings, right? He was just giving them a taste of their own medicine.

Of course, such a big thing is beyond the ability of an ordinary middle school student like him to handle, so of course it is time to contact the technical college - in order to seek help from adults, he returned to the technical college and happened to discover the "stellar plasma" mission. Isn't this very reasonable?

[As for contacting them——It’s not my turn yet. The important people will only appear at the end. You know this principle, right? It would be great if I could appear at the last critical moment and attract everyone’s attention.]

The West Sea is clear and leisurely.

Although Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, Fushiguro Shige and even the forums were all talking about him, in fact, from the beginning, Saikai Haruto had no intention of directly participating in the astral plasma incident.

The reason is very simple.

Unlike Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, even after becoming a sorcerer, Igarashi Yuuki still tends to think like an "ordinary person".

In his words, "If there is a division of camps, then there are only two camps in the world: humans and cursed spirits. There is no third special camp."

——For "Yuuki Igarashi", whether it is an "ordinary person" or a "spellcaster", they are all the same in his eyes. There is no special difference, and he will not treat them differently.

Therefore, if "Yuuki Igarashi" had been involved in the astral plasma incident from the very beginning, this mission would have been doomed to fail from the beginning - not to mention sending people to a technical high school, he would even have "kidnapped" Riko Amauchi from the very beginning.

To exchange a person's life for a "possibility", this equation was not established from the beginning for "Igarashi Yuuki", not to mention hesitating. He even directly instigated Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru to join him in pretending to obey but secretly disobeying - he had done this many times in the past year.

If they didn't return to the high school, Fushiguro Shige's plan would naturally fail by half.

Once the time limit is over, if the "star plasma" does not merge with Tengen, there is no need for others to attack Tenuchi Riko and them anymore.

Naturally, there was no need for Fushiguro Shigeki to fight with them.

...Of course, although such an outcome would seem beautiful and good for everyone, it is not the outcome that Saikai Haruto wants.

After all, when it comes down to it, he is still "Haruto Saikai" rather than "Yuuki Igarashi".

From the beginning to the end, Saikai Haruto never forgot who he was, and what his real mission and purpose were.

The "peaceful resolution" of the Star Plasma incident is good, but if a manga wants a story to be exciting, unforgettable, and memorable, it naturally needs more tense and exciting "conflicts", and the same is true for Saikai Haruto.

In this case... "Igarashi Yuki" naturally needs to stay away from the incident itself from the very beginning, and wait for the right time to appear "just right".

Having made up his mind, Saikai Haruto stopped looking at the forum wailing and simply ignored the system's nagging. Instead, he took out his newly bought cell phone and called Gojo Satoru.

"Moshi Moshi?... Satoru, it's me. I accidentally lost my phone. This is a new one... Are you guys in Okinawa? Ah, damn, I really want to go there!... No, I have two kids in the hospital who need to be taken care of... Well, I've encountered a lot of things in the past two days... Hey, are you guys here for the mission too?... What? No way, no way, you and Jay are not really going to do that, are you? Honestly... Complete the mission and eliminate her? ...Ha, I knew it, that would be good...Really? Then you better be careful, I don't know why, I always feel that the bounty should not be that simple...Oh yes, in that case, I will take them both back tomorrow, and then maybe we will meet directly...Tsk - I said I am not jealous! Not at all!"

"...Ah, I have something else to do. Anyway, I'll hang up now. See you tomorrow!"

Noticing that the door seemed to be pushed, Saikai Haruto turned around to take a look, then directly hung up Gojo Satoru's phone.

He turned around and opened the door. When he lowered his head, he saw two figures who looked very similar but were exceptionally thin.

The two girls were still wearing hospital gowns, which made them look particularly empty and thin. Although they looked almost identical, one of them had blonde hair and the other had black hair, which made them particularly easy to recognize.

"Nanako, Mimiko? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

He half-knelt down and softened his voice and asked softly.

The two girls shook their heads timidly.

"Master Yuuki, will you leave?"

The blonde girl asked cautiously, with a timid and uneasy look on her face.

"You can just call me Brother Yuuki. Yes, I came from Tokyo, and of course I will return to Tokyo. But I plan to take you two away with me, do you want to?"

Xi Haiqing Dou rubbed the heads of the two little girls and gave them two affirmative responses.

"Can we also leave with Master Yuuki?"

The two girls' eyes lit up with hope, and with a little nervousness, they pinched the corners of their clothes and asked again, "Is it really possible? With Master Yuuki?"

"I told you not to call me 'Sir'. There's no need to use such a formal and serious title."

Xi Haiqingdou smiled, his eyes were bright, as warm as the spring sun, and he comforted them gently: "As long as you two are willing, I can take you back together tomorrow... But not today, you two need to rest in the hospital for another day, and listen to the doctor's instructions and do the examination."

If he goes back tomorrow...I guess he will be in time to catch the most exciting scene of the drama, right?
