Chapter 175 The Second Player
"Eh? Did my worst nightmare come true? First I saw my sister become a sorcerer and then a cursed spirit, and then it became a scene like the destruction of the world... It was super scary, it seemed even scarier than if super cursed spirits were invading everywhere."
Huiyuan Xiong waved his hand in the air meaninglessly, scratched his hair, and said with a smile: "So my biggest nightmare is being destroyed by a cursed spirit? I thought my biggest nightmare would only be related to my family."
There was still a hint of confusion in his smile.
He knew how dangerous it was to go to a technical high school to become a sorcerer. Now that he had become a sorcerer, he didn't want his sister to go to a technical high school either.
After all, he has always felt in his heart that "being an ordinary person is great", which is why he and senior Yuuki Igarashi have always had a good relationship.
So, although he always felt that he had nothing to worry about, if he really had to say it, he would probably see his cursed sister also enroll in high school and become a sorcerer, or become a cursed spirit one day?
But the "nightmare" he "saw" about his sister only lasted for a short while, and then quickly turned into a scene of "world destruction"...
So, according to what Senior Yuuki said, could it be that his biggest nightmare is the destruction of the world? Oh, so in his subconscious, he is still a person who cares about the safety of the world? Could it be that the pressure of exorcising cursed spirits recently is really too great?
Huihara Yu unknowingly fell into deep thought.
"The world is destroyed?" Nanami Kento was stunned for a moment: "What I saw in that spell, it was similar to the scene. But I also seemed to see Gojo-senpai and Geto-senpai in it? But they didn't look like them. What exactly was the scene... I can't tell. Anyway, it can be said to be a nightmare."
Recalling the scenes he had "seen" before, the blond boy's brows became slightly solemn, his tone was hesitant, and he still felt a little scared and didn't dare to believe it.
It was a scene that seemed as if the entire world was about to be destroyed and turned into nothingness. No matter how exaggerated and shocking the words were, they all seemed pale and powerless to describe it. However, it really... touched upon a part of his hidden worries.
Nanami Kento didn't doubt the truth of the curse - he did think that the scenes were like a terrible nightmare: although he didn't know why "Gojo Satoru" would also appear in his "nightmare", the destruction of the world plus "Gojo Satoru" was indeed a super terrible nightmare! Moreover, even if it was "the destruction of the world", there were various differences. At most, it showed that his and Haibara Yu's potential nightmares were somewhat similar?
"...This is really unexpected." Xi Hai Qing Dou blinked, his eyes darkened slightly, and then changed the subject, saying with a smile: "Then it seems that both of you are quite...'righteous', and you have a good understanding of each other?"
"And I didn't expect that you, Nanami, actually like Satoru and Jen so much? You can even see them in the spell..."
He touched his chin and sighed pretentiously: "Huh, I thought you and I had the best relationship, but I didn't expect it to be Wu and Jie?"
Nanami Kento was choked by his words and immediately forgot what he was about to say. He retorted speechlessly: "Since it is a nightmare, it would be better if you didn't show up, Senior?"
"Ah... that's true." Xi Haiqing Dou immediately accepted this statement and nodded in agreement: "I will go and laugh at them when I get back."
"Let's go, this mission was completed perfectly, hand in the mission and return to school!"
"Wait, wait a minute... Senior, where is the assistant supervisor? And this guy... are we just going to drag him back like this?"
Nanami Kento stared in amazement at the curser with his head on the ground, who was being dragged away by one of his legs by Saikai Haruto without paying any attention to him.
...Although this guy is a curser, their positions seem to be completely reversed in this scene! Senior, don't you think you look like a villain in comics?
"Hmm? What else?" Xi Haiqingdou finished stretching his half-stretched waist and turned his head nonchalantly: "There is no need to treat the enemy so well~ Auxiliary Supervisor, um, where did he go? Ah, maybe I accidentally threw him out? Never mind, that's not important! I can just take you two and teleport you back to school. He is so old, he will definitely not get lost, and he can find his way back to the technical high school independently!"
He laughed very happily.
Huihara Yu scratched his hair in confusion, still a little confused: "Eh? Is this all that matters? The Assistant Supervisor is not here..."
Nanami Kento had already sensed something unusual and frowned, "Senior, that assistant supervisor... is there something wrong with him?"
Xi Haiqingdou had an innocent expression: "Huh? It's just that I always feel that he doesn't like the look of him... Junior, don't think too much, there are no so many conspiracy theories, if there are any problems, just hand them over to me, a mature and reliable senior, to handle them! Nanami, you can also learn from Yu-kun, focus on the present, and don't think about so many deep problems!"
...Senior, what you actually mean is that Haibara doesn’t like to think, right?
After looking at Haibara Yu who was smiling brightly and looking particularly silly beside him, Nanami Kento was speechless for a moment.
However, Saikai Haruto no longer gave him any chance to speak. He pulled Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu to one side each. Black lines appeared at the corners of their eyes for a moment, and the figures of the three people disappeared from the spot in an instant.
When they reappeared at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, only three of the original four figures remained.
After seeing the familiar scenery near the school and hearing Saikai Haruto's cheerful voice "We're here", Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu immediately let go of Saikai Haruto and moved away from him. They tacitly found an empty space and started to eat.
There's no way. This spell of "Senior Yuuki" is convenient for catching up, but the only problem is that it can easily make people dizzy... It's like being spun around in a washing machine for several rounds, it's really uncomfortable.
"You two, this is too shameless, isn't it?"
The black lines on his face disappeared, and Xi Haiqingdou crossed his arms, shook his head and sighed: "It seems that I still need to exercise more times."
For example, even when he used this spell for the first time, he just felt a little dizzy... Junior students are just inferior!
"Forget it, there shouldn't be any danger now that we're in technical high school. I'll go back first. You two can take your time to adjust... Bye~"
After waving his hand casually and ignoring the "goodbye" responses from his two junior classmates, Xi Hai Qing Dou turned around and walked towards the school. The cheerful smile that had originally appeared on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a cold look.
——He threw the curser to the Jujutsu Directorate midway, which is why there are only three people left in Jujutsu High School. This mission...you can say he is overly alarmed or too suspicious, but he always feels that something is wrong.
It was clearly an ordinary second-level mission, so why did I encounter a first-level cursed spirit, and a "land god"? It almost evolved to a quasi-special level.
Obviously, he was there on a whim, so why were there three cursers there? No matter how you look at it, it seems like they were targeting him... So how did they get the information?
And there was the assistant supervisor, with a paralyzed face. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that the guy had bad intentions... Just looking at him made people feel unhappy.
"——So this is why you just dumped him outside and set up a tent, but then forgot about him?"
Yega Zhengdao crossed his arms and looked seriously at Xihai Qingdou who was kneeling obediently in front of him with an upright posture and an obedient expression.
Yega Zhengdao's eyes were sharp. Meeting his gaze, Xi Haiqingdou couldn't help but shudder. He showed an extremely innocent smile, trying to cover up his guilt: "What..., teacher, I just accidentally forgot about him... Anyway, nothing happened to him, right? He just stayed there for a little longer?"
He stretched out the thumb and thumb of his right hand and gestured to create a "small" gap.
Yeying Zhengdao was so angry that he clenched his fist and hit Xihai Qingdou hard on the head: "He was alone in the sun for three or four hours, and he thought that you three had an accident and didn't come out. If the Directors' Council hadn't sent someone over, he wouldn't even know that you three bastards had returned a long time ago."
"It hurts!" Xi Haiqingdou covered his head and said aggrievedly: "It was just an accident! Besides, wasn't he successfully taken back by the Director's Council?"
"I know you're suspicious of the Director Council, but Yuuki, the Assistant Directors are just ordinary people who follow mission orders. They don't know much."
Ye Moth Zhengdao sighed: "You are just letting your anger run wild."
The deliberately funny expression on Xi Haiqingdou's face faded.
"I'm sorry, teacher," he said, "but...I just can't help myself when it comes to anger."
"After all, they were the ones who started it."
