Chapter 157 The Second Player
The two girls hugged each other nervously: "We will be good and obedient!"
Ever since they met Saikai Haruto and were brought out by him, the two of them have never been beaten or scolded again, and they no longer have to live in a cage or eat bad food... In short, it was just like a dream.
No, even in dreams, life wouldn't be as wonderful as it is now.
The two little girls are sensitive and are very perceptive of other people's emotions. To them, Saikai Haruto was the first person who showed them pure kindness and saved them. It is not difficult to understand why they have a hen-and-birds complex towards him. The two little girls simply treat him like a "god" - and when treating a god, of course, the most formal and serious title must be used.
I want to be able to stay by his side, no matter where he goes...but I definitely don't want to go back to where I came from. If that's the case, then that should be "happiness", right?
"Don't be so nervous. You've been very well behaved. It's okay to be willful."
Xi Haiqingdou was helpless and touched his chin again: "Take a good rest in the hospital today. When the results of the examination are out tomorrow, I will take you to the Jujutsu High School... Mr. Ye Moth will definitely agree to let you live in the school!"
"…Hey, what's wrong? Do you have anything to say? Don't worry, you can say anything!"
Before Saikai Haruto finished speaking, he noticed that Nanako's expression became anxious and hesitant, as if she wanted to say something. He couldn't help but interrupt his words temporarily and encouraged her gently.
"Can we live with Yuuki-nii? ...Mimiko and I don't want to go to Jujutsu High School."
Nanako took a careful breath, held onto Mimiko's arm, and spoke bravely.
She didn't understand what a "college" was, but she didn't want to be separated from the person in front of her.
Oh, it looks like you have a serious hentai complex?
Xi Haiqingdou scratched his head.
"Then I'll take you two to the house I lived in before Tokyo tomorrow...it should still be clean there."
"I'll also have to take all those guys to court later. After this matter is resolved, I'll take you to the high school. Actually, the Jujutsu High School is not bad... Oh, it seems like there are a lot of things to do now."
It's actually a good idea not to go to the technical high school for the time being... After all, something big is going to happen at the technical high school tomorrow, and he definitely can't take Nanako and Mimiko with him. Other things are small matters, but it would be bad if he scared someone.
Nanako and Mimiko said in unison: "We won't cause any trouble for Yuuki-nii!"
"No problem. I can't handle these things by myself, but it doesn't matter. When I go back tomorrow, I can go find Teacher Ye Moth and ask Wu for help."
Xi Hai Qing Dou smiled and said, "I have told you two before that I can see those monsters just like you two - we call them 'cursed spirits', and it's not just you two and me who can see them. There are many people in this world who are just like us, and there are even more people in the Jujutsu High School who can also see cursed spirits... Of course, it's okay if you two don't want to go."
"Mr. Yemo is my teacher. Although he looks very serious, he has a good heart. He will definitely like you. Oh, by the way, he will soon become the principal of Yemo. There are also Wu and Jie. They are my classmates and good friends. Wu is very powerful. If you ask him for help, there is seldom anything he can't do. Although he likes to play tricks on you, if he scares you, just pretend to cry. It is very useful. And Jie , his words are good in every way, but they are definitely a bit long-winded; and Naoko and Haruna, they are both very powerful girls, Naoko's spell is the 'reversal spell', which can heal a lot of injuries, of course I can do it too! When I go back tomorrow, I can heal all the injuries on both of you, you just need to endure today... They are all very good people, they will definitely like you very much!"
Haruto Saikai began to introduce his classmates to Nanako and Mimiko with great interest.
Nanako and Mimiko still had many wounds on their bodies, most of which were accumulated over the years. If the inversion technique was used, the wounds on their bodies could be quickly removed, but Xi Haiqing Dou did not do so immediately. Instead, he took them to the hospital for a thorough full-body examination - these were all evidence of the villagers' abuse of them, so they could not be simply removed.
Nanako and Mimiko looked at each other.
"Are they the same as us and Yuuki-nii?" the girl with short golden hair asked in a low voice, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"yes."
Xi Haiqing Dou nodded, and said firmly: "They are also very good people, my companions... Especially Wu and Jie, you will know when I take you to meet them, we are the best - relatives and friends."
He smiled brightly and answered without hesitation.
After taking them both back and settling them down tomorrow, it will be time for him to return to the technical college.
According to his plan... as long as there are no accidents, he should be able to achieve what he wants, right?
...as long as nothing unexpected happens.
...There shouldn't be any surprises, right?
***
Record - May 2006, Tokyo City, in order to ensure that the star plasma body is assimilated with Lord Tengen, two second-year high school students (special-grade sorcerers Gojo Satoru and Summer Oil Killer) are urgently dispatched to guard the star plasma body.
It has been confirmed that the mission failed on the last day. The Astral Body Riko Amauchi was killed by the assassin sent by the Bandei Cult, Shigeki Fushiguro. She was confirmed dead and her body is missing.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Jujutsu High School, at the foot of Yanshan Mountain.
"Long time no see - Shinobu-kun."
The black-haired, green-eyed boy looked up at Fushiguro Shijiro, who had obviously come down from the mountain. The usual relaxed and sunny smile on his face disappeared, his brows slightly furrowed, his voice cold, and his expression was rare and solemn: "Why... are you here? Xiaohui is not here."
Igarashi Yuuki's body was tense and her thin lips were tightly pursed.
Meeting someone he knew should have been a happy thing, but the time was wrong, the place was wrong, the person he met was wrong, and the aura of that person was wrong - he shouldn't have met Fushiguro Shiori at the foot of the Jujutsu High School, and Fushiguro Shiori's body... shouldn't have such obvious bloodstains.
He originally came back to the technical high school to give others a surprise, but for some reason, the closer he got to the school, the more uneasy he felt. But no matter whether he called Gojo Satoru or Geto Suguru, no one answered the phone just now... Especially the call he made to Geto Suguru, which was hung up immediately after just two rings.
Are they busy with some important mission?
However, he remembered that when he talked to Wu on the phone yesterday, Wu told him that if Tenuchi Riko wanted, he and Jie would send her away and give up the identity of "Star Plasma Body". Apart from this mission, there should be nothing else important, right?
And he didn't think that this mission would be difficult for the two of them - according to what Gojo Satoru said to him on the phone yesterday, it should even be "very easy"?
Unexpectedly, he thought of the several waves of people he met on the way back who wanted to ambush him and the sisters Mimiko and Nanako. Although they were very weak, they were difficult to entangle with the sorcerer... Igarashi Yuuki felt even more uneasy.
There must be something wrong.
If there is any variable...would it be Fushiguro who suddenly appeared here?
Igarashi Yuuki pinched her fingers silently, and the uneasy feeling in her heart became more and more serious.
"Ah - it's you, Igarashi Yuuki. I thought you wouldn't show up."
Compared to him, Fushiguro Shige's condition can even be said to be extremely loose.
The young man with black hair and green eyes was wearing a black suit with blood stains that had not yet dried. A purple worm-like cursed spirit was entangled around his body and lying on his shoulder. His green eyes, which usually looked particularly deep, were rarely bright. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
"I'm not here to look for Xiaohui. Don't fool yourself. I'm here for the mission you wanted, to kill the Star Plasma Body."
Fushiguro Shiori said, his eyes narrowed slightly, his voice very happy: "But you are too late - whether it is Hanayamain Haruna, Gojo Satoru, Kagome Ken or the Star Plasma Body, they have all been killed by me -"
"This is impossible!"
Before Fushiguro Shinji could finish his words, the words came out without hesitation. Igarashi Yuuki's pupils shrank instantly, and his face was filled with undisguised shock.
Fushiguro Shiji continued to speak in a scattered voice: "You may still have time to rush over and collect their bodies now? Oh, no, that sorcerer named Geto Suguru might still be alive? He may still have a breath left. It seems that your luck is really bad... no, it's super bad."
"How is this possible..."
Igarashi Yuuki repeated it again, her voice extremely dry, her peridot green eyes were no longer as bright as before, but rather somewhat dark, her expression suddenly became frighteningly cold, and it was obvious that she was totally unable to believe this fact.
...Due to his carelessness for a moment, his plan did go wrong.
This time he took it for granted... That's why he suffered a severe setback and almost failed in the entire mission. His plan collapsed completely.
Xihai Qingdou gritted his teeth secretly, feeling extremely resentful.
In the previous round, Gojo Satoru, Kayuki Ken, and Hanayamain Haruna were the only ones who took Tenuchi Riko with them. However, the result of the incident was that although the four of them were injured and in some danger, no one died. However, a big problem appeared in this round.
The group of people from the Jujutsu High School were almost wiped out.
Hanayamain Haruna did not die - but it was not because Fushiguro Shigeru showed mercy. In fact, he stabbed Hanayamain Haruna in the heart with complete ruthlessness, so he thought he had successfully killed Hanayamain Haruna.
However, Hanayamain Haruna was lucky. Before she died, her curse broke out for once, and she used the illusion of "Senra Illusion" to barely maintain her life. Then she was lucky enough to contact Ieiri Shoko, and thus saved her life.
Before escorting Amanouchi Riko to the high school, Hanayama Haruna left Gojo Satoru's team and went to meet Fushiguro Shiori, and was almost killed by Fushiguro Shiori. This was something Saikai Haruto had not expected...
Hanayamain Haruna's move can be said to be a successful example of almost killing oneself, leaving Saikai Haruto at a loss for words.
Hanayamain Haruna suddenly broke away from his plan, but "Igarashi Yuuki" was not a suspicious and dark person like "Kendo" who would carry a locator and a bug with him or "give away" them. Therefore, Saikai Haruto knew that something had happened to Hanayamain Haruna through the forum comics.
Hanayamain Haruna almost died, and Saikai Haruto almost lost his mind - if Hanayamain Haruna died at the hands of Fushiguro Shige, his mission would be a complete failure, and the player himself would not be able to return to the original world.
Xihai Qingdou is full of resentment.
He knew that players were uncontrollable...and would always cause problems in his plans.
After knowing that Hanayamain Haruna was still alive, Saikai Haruto no longer hesitated and started rushing to Jujutsu High School as fast as he could. Without Hanayamain Haruna, only Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru were left, and Saikai Haruto was not sure if the two of them could still defeat Fushiguro Shinobu.
Although he had already rushed here early today, it seemed that he was still a step too late and failed to catch up with the fight between Gojo Goga, Yugetsu and Fushiguro Shigeki.
After all, Hanayamain Haruna was not with Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru and the others, so they naturally didn't need to slow down to do anything else on the way. They arrived at the high school earlier than in the previous round, so the time when Fushiguro Shinobu fought with them was naturally much earlier... It was normal for him to not catch up with them compared to the time in the previous round.
However, he didn't really believe what Fushiguro Shigeru just said.
Saikai Haruto had expected Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru to fail. After all, the fact that Fushiguro Shinobu appeared here so leisurely and unharmed was very telling.
But Saikai Haruto didn't believe that the two of them were dead - after all, the world consciousness hadn't reminded him that the mission had failed.
But Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru didn't die because they were lucky and had good fortune, and it had nothing to do with him. It was his arrogance and pride that almost led to the failure of the mission... After being a good student in this world for a year, did he almost lose his brain?
As the thought flashed through his mind, the expression on Xihai Qingdou's face became even colder.
