End of the article

The dead memories suddenly began to attack Geto Suguru crazily.

This character has not appeared much in the comic series so far, and his specific role is...

A spiritual master who lives outside the rules. Generally speaking, he does not appear much, but he has been introduced in the current plot, saying that this spiritual master once had relatives and friends who were harmed by vengeful spirits.

A large part of the reason is that the organization played a role in fueling the incident. The spiritualist therefore resented the organization and chose to withdraw from it. He then walked among the people in his own way, specifically killing those who had positive identities but were doing dirty things behind the scenes that could not be brought to the surface.

If nothing else, this experience was probably taken from the few months when the two of them worked together to teach those high-level celebrities about the stars.

There are also some very subtle settings. For example, when the protagonist Mochizuki Chao, who is a top talent, learned that he had such an identity, this famous "knight" looked at him with a very complicated look.

If you just look at the pictures, you won't be able to appreciate anything. But after the reader ponders over the details, they will find that the literary drama in this passage is also quite meaningful.

They concluded that the character had mixed feelings about the protagonist's gifts.

First, he believed that the tradition of shamans would continue, and second, he believed that if he had such a talent that would work more quickly, he would not have caused the death of his friend. Even if he was already beyond help, he would have been able to avenge him in his lifetime.

"..." What's going on with this unpleasant feeling of being cued but not being completely cued?

Feng Zaoche smiled and took back his rough version of the setting set to avoid being affected later.

"What is the subsequent ending arrangement?" Xia Yujie asked.

"There are two theories. Which one do you want to listen to?" Feng Zao glanced at him.

"Then tell me everything." Xia Yujie made a "please speak" gesture with his hand.

Feng Zaoche pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "The high EQ view is that for a character like this, I don't need to consider the ending at all. The low EQ view is that he should continue with his original life. After all, the biggest contradiction in the story has been solved by Mochizuki himself."

"You said it the other way around," Xia Yujie asked. Generally speaking, the concept of high and low emotional intelligence needs to be reversed.

"No." Feng Zaoche shook his head, "For some characters, not explaining the ending is the best ending."

Just like 920 once said that this world actually originated from a comic, even before traveling through time, Kaze Hayateru was willing to believe that there was a world in his comics.

What he needs to tell the readers is the ending of the story, that the brave man defeated the dragon, that the initial obsession of pursuit has come to an end, and that the regret that could never be undone has finally been fulfilled.

The protagonist shoulders the mission of playing the entire story, and his or her ending must be known to everyone, but the supporting characters are not always known.

After hearing what he said, Xia Yujie understood what Feng Zaoche was thinking.

He wanted to say to that character, or rather, to the many characters in his works: You are free, the story will never restrict your development, and the limited space cannot describe the infinite life.

The character of Shota in "Crossing" is just one of them.

As expected of a cartoonist, he completely changes his demeanor when talking about characters. If I have to say anything, it would be that he becomes much gentler.

When Geto thought of this adjective that was incompatible with the life of a sorcerer, he smiled to himself.

"But come to think of it, I think Satoru hasn't discovered it yet." Kazehaya Tetsu saw Geto looking at him teasingly and added, "About the prototype."

"Actually he won't be mad at you even if he finds out." Xia Yujie said, and both of them knew this very well.

"I know he won't be angry, otherwise I wouldn't have used this trick at all." Feng Zao looked up at him helplessly, and his voice was already gritting his teeth when he spoke, "Is that the problem?"

Being caught drawing comics by the original author - okay, that's a small problem. Feng Zaoche felt so embarrassed just thinking about how conceited the original author would be in the future.

It wasn't a big deal, but he couldn't get over it psychologically.

It's really impossible to get used to this kind of thing. It's just like asking him to recite the dialogues from his own works as a public speaker. He will only get used to it after he stops working in this field in his next life.

This isn't the first time I've imagined what it would be like if I were caught red-handed, but no matter how many times I think about it, I can't get used to it.

"You'll know sooner or later. Your current status is already shaky." Xia Yujie's mouth curled up, as if he was looking forward to that time very much.

"It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death." Feng Zaoche chuckled and ignored him. "Let's talk about business. How is the 'school' over there?"

It is true that money makes the world go round. Gojo realized that Fuzaochetsu was doing the hard work - that is, capturing low-level cursed spirits from nearby and then using props to make them do work, such as moving materials and digging foundations.

This was actually out of consideration for cost saving. Even if it was outsourced to ordinary people, one would have to consider an extra layer of confidentiality. Feng Zaoche was too lazy to consider it and simply mobilized the "Cursed Spirit Construction Team".

What is noteworthy is that there seem to be a lot of rumors afterwards, such as the fact that Geto Suguru died because Fu Zaotoku had taken a fancy to his cursed spirit manipulation skills and wanted to take it for himself, and had already succeeded.

Don't you think that if this technology really worked, the world of magic would have been in chaos long ago.

But at least the school has a prototype. Considering the current population and the foreseeable population in the future, it does not need to be too perfect. It is enough to have all the necessary things.

The experience accumulated in this way can also be used in case of emergency in the future.

Feng Zaoche was still thinking carefully when he heard 920 pop up after a long absence and said: [Host, host, I have good news. Which one do you want to hear?]

920 previously said that he had accumulated enough creative points, so he would just open the system functions to him as usual while he went to repair the channel first.

When Feng Zaoche heard the news, he didn't feel anything. He had so many things to do here, so many that they almost filled up his brain, leaving no room for even the slightest bit of space.

Continuing the serialization of the original world was also one of his original intentions. Feng Zaoche had never considered giving up, and had even modified his ideas and completed the draft.

[You mean, I can go back and continue my serialization] Feng Hayato deliberately teased 920.

[Oh no, no, host, you forgot that your body in the original world has died. I have prepared an identity for you as your own relative. When the time comes, you can say that you have already drawn this part of the manuscript in advance...] 920 was anxious and repeatedly reminded, [After completing this step, you must come back.]

[Don't worry, I know how long it will take approximately] Feng Hayateru asked again.

After he and Geto Xiayou had finalized many of the future arrangements, Feng Zaoche had just taken out a new plan when his hand suddenly stopped.

[One year] 920 answered uncertainly, [It shouldn’t be that long, but this is the most conservative answer. ]

He sighed softly: [Forget it. I already have enough rumors about myself. I am not afraid of another resurrection. It’s just…]

Xia Yujie took this step first, and he followed suit immediately, using this trick to make a fortune.

"That's it. I can't hide away any longer." Xia Yujie's tone was filled with regret for losing his legal right to slack off. As he was talking, he realized that Feng Zaoche had been distracted for some time. "Well, what's wrong?"

"I suddenly remembered an urgent matter." Feng Hayate replied.

"What's the hurry now? Can't we just clean up these tails slowly?" Xia Yujie asked curiously.

Feng Zaoche said seriously: "I suddenly remembered that there may be a period of time after this that I need to... die first."

Summer Oil: "..."

The reason for the sense of shame is that I see Gojo Satoru every day, and I can see him again when there is a mission. If I have a legitimate reason to escape, it might not be a bad idea to get through this awkward period.

The more Feng Zaoche thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible, so he decided to try the self-destruct strategy.

After vaguely explaining that he had something to do and might need to leave for a while, up to a year, Xia Yujie glanced at him and said, "It has something to do with your technique."

No matter how powerful a technique is, it will have its limitations. After getting to know each other for so long, they have already reached a correct conclusion - the price to pay for Kazehatoshi's technique is probably to "complete" various missions or even comics to ensure its power and effectiveness.

However, most people prefer to only need the former. They really can't think of any connection between drawing comics and strengthening one's own skills.

"I guess so. For me, it should also fulfill my previous wish." Feng Zaoche nodded.

"A year is neither long nor short. You can go. The situation here has improved a lot. And when you leave... maybe you can catch a lot of big fish." Xia Yujie sighed, and his tone unconsciously became much deeper when he said the second half of the sentence.

Recently, many people have been trying hard to figure out Fuzaitetsu's technique. Although Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru are strong, there is no need to put in more effort since we already have a clear understanding of their techniques. It would be better to get rid of the most evil one first. Otherwise, who knows how much pain we will have to suffer from this.

If we really want to analyze the detailed principles of his technique, even the master himself doesn't quite understand it, so it's strange that they can figure it out.

Feng Zaochedi had curled up the corners of his lips and smiled politely countless times to show his sarcasm.

However, when Gojo Satoru mentioned the comics, it was actually a good opportunity to reveal his identity. Now that he has missed it, he should find another opportunity.

“等你詐屍……啊不，複活的時候我休息個一周，專門把我的漫畫趕完，嗯，本來就已經在收尾階段了，只差一部分內容需要填充， Special番外卷可以等到之後再行追加。”風早徹盤算道。

思來想去，他決定接受一個能“把臉給遮住大半”的采訪，這樣的采訪對漫畫家來說并非沒有先例，反正觀衆們關注的主要也是這人是這個作品的作者。

臉完完全全是捎帶看個熱鬧，看不着也沒有事。

“随便你，反正特級咒術師要是活了，肯定不會少活幹，也不缺這一件兩件的。”夏油傑扭頭假笑道。

……

在《跨越》有熱度的情況下，應個采訪并不是什麽困難的事。

風早徹戴着墨鏡口罩，一副想把自己的臉擋住，但又不是那麽想擋的姿态。

記者先是問了幾個問題，風早徹不是第一次接受這一類的采訪了，來之前在心底打過腹稿，也算是心中有數，回答得很快。

“風間老師請問您是出于什麽樣的心理創造出這一與衆不同的師長類角色的呢”采訪的記者問道。

萬萬沒想到會被問到這一道問題的風早徹: “……”

他就像是壓了半天沒有壓對面試題目的無助求職者一樣頓了個兩三秒——實則面上裝出了一副在組織措辭的樣子。

“因為望月尚且不夠成熟，他在接觸到組織的黑暗面時，遇見的人不夠多，見過的事也太少了，需要一位師長來幫助他，也像是目前為止很多的故事裏一樣，我其實思考過比較傳統的老師人設，但最終還是從我的一位朋友身上獲得了靈感。”風早徹慢慢地答道。

“設定本身是偏向陰暗低沉的風格，所以我才希望能夠通過這樣一個人物打破僵局，比起新穎，我更看重是的和設定本身的配合……”

采訪播出以後，在風早徹的瘋狂暗示下，夏油傑和他打了一手配合，讓五條悟看見了那段采訪。

不熟悉的人遮臉遮了個百分之八九十可能就看不出來了，但對于幾乎是朝夕相處的同學來說，辨認出風早徹簡直是不需要費半點力氣就能做到的事。

五條悟原地定住兩三秒，迅速抓到了問題所在，他轉頭看向夏油傑: “你也早就知道了”

這時候的風早徹已經把自己要暫時離開一段時間的計劃透露給了高專的大家，所有人對此均無什麽意見，他連咒術會那邊握着的一些工作也松了手，消息早就傳了個遍。

“只能說先前是懷疑他在給作者提供素材，現在……就是确定了。”夏油傑雙手一攤，倚靠在牆上， “先說好，我也是才知道沒有多久。”

五條悟露出個一言難盡的嫌棄表情: “不是，那他這次說有事是真的有事還是跑路”

“真的有事。”跑路也的确是事，夏油傑還是小小地維護了一下風早徹。

“我就說，我又不會為了這個罵他，而且他當時直接來和我說也行，我肯定會同意的。”五條悟唉一聲，見夏油傑從身後的抽屜裏摸出一副卷着的畫， “這是什麽”

“畫像，他給認識的每個人都畫了一張。”夏油傑補充道。

作為打配合的補償，風早徹甚至還給他畫了一個短篇漫畫，足足有個十來頁，有的是Q版小人，有的是原模原樣的畫風，內容是記錄這幾年在高專的故事。

五條悟本來也不生氣，這樣來了一下之後就更加好哄了，他打開畫像: “哇，這家夥的功底确實不賴嘛。”

偶爾他也會放松接觸一下漫畫之類的東西，對漫畫家水平的高低有一個基本的認知。

“還是等他回來你再親自誇他吧。”夏油傑說道。

“他人呢”五條悟問。

夏油傑: “早就跑了，也不知道是去哪裏，我問他萬一被追蹤了怎麽辦，他說不可能，與其相信咒術會有能力追蹤到他，不如相信他馬上就能拳打咒術會，腳踩各大世家。”

……

風早徹回到原本的世界後，确認過現在的時間線是他被發現死亡後的一個月。

他按照記憶中的地址将自己帶過來的那部分原稿寄去了合作的雜志社，并且說明這是他在自己家中意外發現的。

可能是風早徹沒有來得及及時寄出，才不慎遺落，不該讓他的連載作品成為永遠不會再有更新的絕篇。

成稿寄出後的三天，他就收到了回信，是負責和他對接的那個編輯寫的。

信中的言辭十分之激動，甚至提出了要主動過來見一見他，風早徹現在的身體和原先相比，已經有一些改變，在旁人圍觀瞧着時像是兄弟，但又不會錯眼看成同一人。

編輯對他極盡之誇贊，并且說他這一舉動是為整個漫畫史都做出了莫大的貢獻——誠然這無疑極度誇張了的說法，風早徹還是悲傷地笑了一下，客氣地把這話收下。

這時候再推辭謙虛就要被說成是不尊重死人了。

這邊的編輯最後承諾會和其他同事整理清楚這部分原稿，将後續的所有單行本一一制定計劃推出。

并且他還說在風早徹死前的一周，其實已經有公司來詢問過他們這邊，又是個來報價的，說的正是意欲将漫畫改編成動畫，只是還沒來得及談清楚，也就沒有告知風早徹。

“可惜……天不假年。”編輯還是在嘆息，殊不知天不假年的本人正坐在他對面。

擔心再繼續順着這個話題聊下去，就要演變成緬懷自己的來來回回，這未免也太過奇怪了，他怕自己忍不住破功。

風早徹将話題轉移開，和編輯告辭。

其實做到這一步已經足夠了，但他總覺得還是少了些什麽。

【……再留一段時間吧，等到你親眼見證最後一段故事，在讀者這裏有什麽反響。】920忽地溫和道， 【我是可以把這些轉述給你，但和自己親眼看到，聽到還是有區別的。】

風早徹被他說得心動，但心底歸根到底還是想着要回去瞧一瞧，可能是在那邊的世界裏操心慣了，一旦放開手就覺得這兒也放心不下，那兒也放心不下。

不過這樣的機會只此一次，回去了以後再想回來就難了，他已經是不在此世之人，就像漫畫裏說的那樣，不該再頻繁地于此間戀戀不舍。

說是說“斷舍離”，但臨到緊要關頭，才會發現當真不是那麽好做到的。

抱着前所未有的焦躁，風早徹又租了個房子暫住。

單行本發售的那一日。

他遠遠地站在書店邊上，看着排起長隊的人們。

大多數讀者的面容還很年輕，按理來說，每次新書發售人們大都是喜氣洋洋的，但這次的名頭說到底不一樣，因而也莫名帶上了一份沉郁之氣。

“風間老師……那樣勤奮的漫畫家肯定也不會希望看到自己的漫畫成為沒有結尾的作品，還好風間老師的親戚找到了稿子。”

“唉，風間老師一定是穿越到自己漫畫的世界了。”

“之前我還搶到了老師的親簽，沒有想到，這個故事能有結局真的是太好了。”

“難受，本來看老師之前分享了好幾個腦洞，我都非常有興趣的來着。”

謝謝你們的喜歡。

風早徹坐在臨近的露天咖啡館中，就這樣一連看了幾個小時，不知道在心中道了多少次謝，難得地又有了幾分悵然。

回到租住的房子，風早徹上網一查。

網上也一樣對結局好評如潮，大家順帶還感慨了一番自己的“早逝”，因着“作者已經死了你們就讓讓他吧”這條理由，倒是沒有什麽出言不遜的人在。

四個月一晃就這樣過去，風早徹總算明白了為什麽920會說最多一年，原來是看準了他會忍不住再多看看自己的世界的心情。

不過，也到了該走的時候了。

和920聯絡之後，風早徹敲定了返程的日期。

重新回到這個才和他熟悉起來沒有多久的咒術世界，風早徹看了看日歷，兩邊的時間流速應該是等同的，這邊的今天恰好是個休息日。

他群發了條消息，發現大家這時候果然大部分都在高專裏休整，天氣正好，溫度不高也不低，适合在戶外訓練。

還是先回去高專吧。

兜兜轉轉走了一個多小時，沿着山路拾級而上時，風早徹忽地感到一陣前所未有的寧靜。

才離開幾個月斷然和“背井離鄉”之類的成語談不上聯系，但眼下卻恰好有一種牽挂已了，可以專注當下的松弛。

“回來了”五條悟手裏揚了揚一本書，風早徹仰頭，走近一看才發現是《跨越》的最後一卷單行本。

他将原稿一口氣全部寄給了自己這邊的編輯，又拜托了高羽史彥時不時幫他看着進度，看上去還算是順利。

“嗯，回來了。”風早徹應道。

Behind me, standing near or far, were the teachers, relatives and friends I knew from the college. The sunlight was particularly warm, and the light and shadows that were exactly the same as in my memory were reflected in my eyes, adding a bit of passion to the life before my eyes.

The face is lively and the branches and leaves are lush.

It is the best age and the best people.
