Chapter 173 The Second Player

After listening to Saikai Haruto's explanation, Ieiri Shoko gave up the tempting idea.

"Next time, don't talk about being brave and doing good as if it were robbery or something bad!"

Ieiri Naoko hesitated to speak: She really wondered if Yuuki had really broken his brain. What should she do? - He was doing a good deed, saving innocent children from abuse, but when he said it, it was as if he had robbed the children of innocent villagers. It sounded like he was the bad guy who did the bad thing.

But those villagers really were going too far... Although she had seen ordinary people who couldn't see the cursed spirits being scared before, she had never seen anything so extreme. After hearing this, Ieichiro Naoko almost had high blood pressure.

What should I do if I start to want to beat someone up? !

There were two people nearby who were just trying to make things worse.

"Oh oh oh, so that's what happened - Yuki, you did a great job! Damn it, if I had known earlier I would have gone to Aomori with you, maybe we could have beaten up those scumbags together...those guys are as annoying as those scumbags of the Bandei Cult. Ah, how about we go to Aomori again in a few days and beat them up! Hey, Jay, you can't say I'm kidding this time!" Gojo Satoru yelled in an unhappy tone.

"I haven't said anything yet, have I? It's really unreasonable for you to blame me. Rather than beating them up, I think those scum are more suitable for humane destruction... They are really a group of people who are more disgusting than cursed spirits - Tsk."

Really...it sounds no different from "monkey".

Can those people be called "human beings"? I feel so bad...

By the way, he was reminded of those ordinary people in the Bandei Cult who were brainwashed by the Bandei Cult and were extremely enthusiastic about "Tengen" and were very happy about the "death" of Tenuchi Riko as a "star plasma body". Xia Yujie suppressed his inner anger, and his voice became lower and lower, and colder and colder, until it almost dissipated into the air in the end.

Similarly, his mind unconsciously recalled what Fushiguro Shigeki had said before, and some thoughts that he had held on to for a long time began to waver.

"Ah, so I have already reported this to the media and the police."

Xi Haiqing Dou pretended not to hear what he said next, and began to talk about his plan with a smile: "The whole village is suspected of being 'possessed'. A couple was tortured to death and their child was illegally imprisoned and abused for five or six years. Moreover, they were determined and righteous to madly regard the poor and innocent children as the source of the crime. How could such a despicable thing be hidden from the media, the public, and the administrative and judicial institutions across the country? Of course, the evil deeds of such a deranged person must be exposed to everyone."

As he spoke, he also emphasized the pronunciation of some words.

"..." Still immersed in his own thoughts, Xia Yujie was stunned for a moment, as if he had not yet thought that there was such an operation?

And it sounds... pretty good, what's going on?!

"Huh? Sounds like a good idea!" Ieiri Naoko's eyes lit up.

"Wait, Yuuki, what do you mean by this?"

Gojo Satoru is more "simple". He grew up in the world of sorcery and knows more about modern society except for the various eating, drinking and having fun in the past two years. He knows almost nothing about the methods Saikai Haruto mentioned - isn't the "media" for fun? What else is it for?

"Will what you said really work? I think it would be better to just kill all those people."

Young Master Gojo Satoru has always believed in "one force can defeat ten skills". It's not that he looks down on ordinary people... well, he just looks down on ordinary people. In his opinion, these methods are too "twistful and tactful". If you ask him, with their strength, wouldn't it be more convenient and quicker to attack them directly? Those villagers abused the "cursors", so as cursors, they turned around and bullied them back? Gojo Satoru has even begun to get a little restless.

Haha... it sounds good. If he really said that he wanted to "get rid of" those troublemakers, Gojo Satoru would probably be the first one to jump out and wonder if he was "replaced".

After muttering something in his heart, Xi Haiqingdou smiled righteously and brightly: "What are you talking about, Wu? I am a law-abiding citizen who never does anything illegal. If you encounter such bad people and bad things, you should ask the police to deal with them. There will be legal sanctions against them. But what Wu said is very dangerous... Be careful, I will call the police."

"Huh? Call the police? What's the use of calling the police? Find those policemen? The punishment is too light, isn't it?" Gojo Satoru's glasses slid down from his nose.

"This idea...Yuxi, have you already had an idea about it?" Xia Yujie thought vaguely, with a hint of doubt and trust in his eyes.

Well, although he didn't really believe that ordinary people could teach those evil villagers a real lesson...but he believed that with Xi Haiqingdou's character and brain, it couldn't be that simple.

"Well... you'll know when the time comes."

Xi Haiqing Dou kept the secret for a while, and with a sly smile, he revealed his true purpose: "But this matter is still a bit troublesome. I plan to make a big fuss about it, a very, very big fuss! But I definitely can't handle it alone, so - Wu, Jie, and Gao Zi, you will come to help me, right? Ah, and Ye Mo teacher - let's go and find Ye Mo teacher to help as well?"

"Hey, is it going to be a big fuss? Then I'll come!" Gojo Satoru's eyes suddenly lit up - wherever there's excitement and big events, there's no way he won't be there!

"Well... count me in too!" Xia Yujie raised his eyebrows - okay, Xi Haiqingdou successfully aroused his curiosity.

"Oh, really, my time is precious!... I lost to you, I understand, and I will help!" Ieiri Naoko pretended to be embarrassed for a second, then she couldn't hold back and showed a brilliant smile.

Well, how could she miss such an opportunity to vent her anger without beating someone up!

Should we say that his classmates are really easy to fool (cheat), or that they trust him, or that they are just a group of simple and passionate young people?

Xi Haiqing Dou silently raised his eyebrows. This is really... great for him!

But he did not disappoint them.

With the help of Gojo Satoru and Yega Masamichi, Xi Haiqingdou decided to go all out and make the news known to the whole country. There was even a tendency for the news to spread to other places abroad. The villagers of an entire village, due to their ignorance and backwardness, believed in the existence of ghosts, deliberately murdered a young couple, illegally abused their children for several years, and firmly planned to brainwash everyone and kill two innocent people. The little girl was regarded as a "monster" until a smart, clever, upright and handsome foreign boy accidentally entered this closed village and finally rescued the two poor girls after going through untold hardships. This horrifying incident was finally exposed to the sun... Through some appropriate "rhetoric", this incident now makes people all over the country think that the village is collectively crazy and possessed, and now this kind of behavior and the people involved in this incident are condemned by everyone.

Saikai Haruto was quite satisfied with the spread of this matter.

Well, it turns out that doing this kind of bad things is more suitable for him... Fortunately, although he hasn't done this kind of thing for a year or two and his hands are a little rusty, but isn't he slowly getting back to the feeling?

In order to maintain his good image to the outside world, he had to secretly guide them to come up with a way to do it together... After all, he, Igarashi Yuuki, is a good boy with an "honest and simple personality". How could he do such a messy and complicated thing? He just wanted to expose those "troublemakers" who bullied children to the public. The reason why there was such a big fuss was simply because the people of the whole country could not stand such outrageous and excessive behavior. It had nothing to do with him at all!

The result of this incident was not too bad: the mastermind who murdered Nanako and Mimiko's parents was sentenced to life imprisonment, several main participants were sentenced to 20 years in prison, the one who abused the two sisters was sentenced to 15 years in prison, and the lightest was a few months... Although these punishments were not particularly severe in Saikai Haruto's eyes, considering Japan's past "national conditions", it was a pretty good result.

Of course, the most important thing for Xi Haiqing Dou is not this, but also "public opinion" - he has saved a lot of evidence, even if those people are released, they are still "considered by everyone" now, and being released early is not necessarily a good thing. And in prison... it won't be easy.

By the time the matter was finally settled, several months had passed without anyone noticing.

Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Ieiri Shoko, who had been following this incident closely, were all "stunned".

"I can't tell...it turns out that you, Yuki, are the most evil and terrifying one." With a look of "awed" look on her face, Ieiri Shoko moved to a position far away from Saikai Haruto.

"What? Did I do something wrong?" Xihai Qingdou looked naturally confused.

"It's nothing...Nose is just praising you for doing a great job." Xia Yujie tried hard to hold back his laughter.

"This punishment is pretty good... Well, it suits them very well! Although I still think it would be more satisfying to beat them up." Gojo Satoru was still unwilling and "eager to make a move".

"Ah, actually I didn't expect this result... If I say I didn't mean it, would you believe me?"

Xi Hai Qing Dou looked up at the sky with an innocent expression: "I just couldn't swallow the anger in my heart, and I wanted to let everyone in the country know that what they did was wrong... But now it seems that the effect is a bit too good?"

"Is it heavy? I think this result is not bad."

Xia Yujie smiled, and there was an inexplicable dark aura in his smile. The depression that had been lingering in his heart was almost gone. "Calling others 'monsters'... wouldn't it be great if they could have a taste of being called 'monsters' themselves? They just deserved what they had done. They just reaped the consequences of the evil they had sown."

To him, such punishment is still very light... Those guys are all "criminals" of the same level, and only Xi Haiqing Dou will suddenly get entangled. However, seeing their current situation of being scolded by everyone like a rat crossing the street, I have to say that it is also very satisfying.

"...Jie, you are right." Saikai Haruto was convinced by Geto, his slightly wrinkled brows loosened, and he nodded heavily, saying as a matter of course: "After all, if they hadn't killed and tortured others first, there wouldn't be such a result."

——After all, it has to be you!

Gojo Satoru took advantage of Saikai Haruto's inattention and secretly gave Geto a look.

——Of course.

Xia Yujie received it smoothly and raised his eyebrows at Gojo Satoru without any humility or courtesy.

——Sure enough, it must be because Yuki is an easy-to-foolery, naive person, right?

Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Ieiri Shoko reached a consensus tacitly and happily.

"Come to think of it, Yuuki. How did you come up with this idea? I thought you would be like them and want to use the sorcerer's method to solve this problem."

Ieiri Naoko changed the subject, blinked her eyes, and said jokingly: "To be honest, I thought you would be like Wu and Jie at first, thinking of beating them up or even killing them."

Well...how should I put it, although I know that with "Igarashi Yuuki"'s personality, she wouldn't do such a cruel thing, but Ieiri Shoko just has this weird... "sixth sense"?

Ieichiro Nozomi is puzzled as she doesn't know that in the original world line, the first person to pick up Nanako and Mimiko in the village was actually Kagome Ken, and that at that time he really killed all the people in the village easily.

Xi Hai Qing Dou's mouth twitched: "I have said it many times, I am the most disciplined and law-abiding good citizen who never breaks the law, okay? How could I do such a thing!"

"Because no matter whether those villagers are ordinary people or sorcerers or cursers, their actions are 'crimes' in the secular sense."

The fake "easy to fool" "silly naive" sighed, as if he was speaking from his heart: "No matter whether Nanako and Mimiko can see the curse spirits, they are also ordinary people, two children at the same time. The "curse spirits" are just an excuse and a vent for the things those villagers did to them... So what if they can see the curse spirits? The ones who hurt others are always those villagers who keep talking about "monsters", not two weak children. If you ask me... those guys are the real "monsters" in human skin, the "curse spirits" in human clothing."

"The difference between humans and cursed spirits... is it based on appearance or heart? Although cursed spirits can also hurt people, sometimes, evil humans are more terrifying than some cursed spirits."

"...Not all humans and cursed spirits are the same."

Xia Youjie whispered, his mind moving slightly.

"Yuuki, your words are so complicated today..."

Gojo Satoru stroked his chin and put on a serious expression, but then broke down in a second: "Anyway, as long as we are strong enough, no matter if it is a cursed spirit or a bad human, they will all fall under our feet!"

"...Okay, Satoru, you're right!" Saikai Haruto put his thoughts aside and started laughing again with Geto Suguru and Ieiri Naoko.
