Chapter 40: The 40th Mom
Xiao Xia Youjie and Xiao Gojo Satoru high-fived each other tacitly, shouted together tacitly "Jointly called - the strongest -!", and then withdrew their hands tacitly.
Cat Wu shook his slightly swollen paws and looked at Fox Jie with a look of complaint in his eyes: "Jie, I know you are very happy, but is it necessary to use so much force?"
Fox Jie also blew on his swollen paws. He said helplessly: "Wu, didn't you also use all your strength? You are obviously as happy as me... Oh - Mom once told me that strength is mutual. So this is what she meant..."
"Hmph," Xiao Gojo Satoru snorted, then his eyes widened a little. He remembered something, grinned evilly, and raised his other paw, "The force is mutual? In that case, Jie, how about another high-five?"
Xiao Xia Youjie stared at Xiao Gojo Satoru's hand in silence for a moment, then said, "Did you use the unlimited technique?"
"No!" Gojo Satoru said without hesitation.
Xiao Xia Youjie immediately took out a lollipop and threw it to Xiao Gojo Satoru. Sure enough, the lollipop hovered in front of his palm. Although it was still moving forward at an extremely slow speed, the distance it moved was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
Xiao Xia Youjie helplessly spread his hands: "I'll just say it."
"No, it's because I was quick to react and activated my Unlimited Power immediately, so I didn't let you sneak attack me," Xiao Gojo Satoru said stubbornly, then he held the lollipop in his hand, unwrapped it and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it with disgust, "Why is it lemon flavor? It's a bit sour, not as delicious as the mango flavor yesterday."
"Satoru has already eaten all the sweeter flavors. The remaining lemon and orange flavors are pretty good, right?"
"It's OK, but I prefer sweet food."
"Then let's buy sweeter ones next time..." Xiao Xia Youjie was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly after saying this, then a look of surprise appeared on his face, "The Eye No. 3 I sent out to investigate found traces of wild curse spirits!"
"Huh? Really?" Gojo Satoru, who was eating a lollipop, was stunned. He felt that it was impossible for him to miss it. If he didn't look carefully, it would be acceptable, but he had searched carefully. He simply took off his sunglasses and flew into the air.
"Hey, Wu, come down quickly, it will be bad if we are seen again!" Xiao Xia Youjie shouted.
Before, Xiao Xia Youjie and Xiao Gojo Satoru were flying on the Ghost Fish Curse Spirit and were seen by other children. The other children kept shouting that they could fly. Fortunately, the other children were also children, so the adults just laughed it off when they heard it.
But the consequence of this is...
Little Natsuyu Geto and Little Gojo Satoru were pestered by other children to fly together.
"Sugaru-kun, can you take us flying?" "Sugaru-kun, can you teach me how to fly?" "Sugaru-kun, how do you fly?" "Gojo-kun, can you fly too?"...
The children gathered around Ko Natsu Arusho and Ko Gojo Satoru. Because Ko Natsu Arusho smiled so gently and Ko Gojo Satoru looked impatient, most of them called Ko Natsu Arusho's name.
Xiao Xia Youjie still remembered what his mother said, that he couldn't tell ordinary people about the existence of the cursed spirit. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He smiled and said, "Well... I can't fly. That day we were just... competing in the long jump. It looked like I was flying."
"But I saw you two flying more than ten meters above the ground, one meter high!" "I also saw you flying over the pond, and there were ripples!" "You were clearly flying! Xia Yu-kun, don't fool us--"...
Xiao Xia Youjie felt a little helpless about this, but he didn't feel impatient. Instead, he planned to persuade them slowly, or use other games to attract their attention and make them forget about it.
This was indeed his negligence. Ordinary people cannot see the cursed spirits, but they can see themselves sitting on the cursed spirits.
Xiao Xia Youjie really likes the feeling of flying freely. He usually doesn't have this opportunity in the city. He can only fly for a while on the Curse Spirit at home, and the speed cannot be too fast.
There are not many people in his hometown, and he made friends with Xiao Gojo Satoru who can fly. He couldn't help but show off his ghost fish curse spirit more often, and this situation resulted.
"I'm so annoyed, you little brats," Gojo Satoru only endured for a short while before pointing at the kids viciously, "Listen carefully, we are not interested in playing with weaklings like you! Get out of my way!"
Then the other children ran away, and Gojo Satoru even scared a few children to tears.
Little Gojo Satoru was still proudly showing off to little Natsuyuu Geto: "Geto, I'm awesome! Those brats started crying when I got a little aggressive."
Xiao Xia Youjie said: "Satoru, don't bully the weak, they are just curious."
Xiao Gojo Satoru made a face: "Who cares what they do? That's why those weaklings are pestering Jie, delaying our search for the cursed spirit!"
Xiao Xia Youjie could only smile and shake his head and continue to look for the curse spirit with Xiao Gojo Satoru, but it was not until today that they found any trace of the curse spirit.
Xiao Gojo Satoru didn't fly in the sky for long. After he "saw" it, he returned to the ground: "Even if they saw it, so what? It won't matter if ordinary people know about it, right? Didn't your mother accept it well? She is still keen on feeding the cats and dogs every day."
"My mother is special, but for most ordinary people, it's better not to tell them about the cursed spirits, right?" Xiao Xia Youjie said with a smile, "They will inevitably be afraid of unknown and invisible dangers."
"So, Jie, you really don't need to care about those weaklings... It doesn't matter if you care about a small number of weaklings," Gojo Satoru stretched and put on his sunglasses again, "There are cursed spirits, but they are new cursed spirits, very weak, probably at the level of a fly's head, right?"
"Just a tiny bit..." Xiao Xia Youjie was a little disappointed when he heard this. After all, cursed spirits of this level were generally not among his targets for taming. However, his frustration only lasted for a moment, and he soon smiled, "That's good."
"Good? What's good about it, Jie? Don't you want to subdue a powerful cursed spirit?"
"Yes, I hope to encounter powerful curse spirits, but I also hope not to encounter powerful curse spirits. I hope that the second-level curse spirit we encountered that day was just an extremely rare exception."
"Why?" Xiao Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows. "Although it is indeed very dangerous for you to deal with a level 2 cursed spirit now, even if you can tame a level 2 cursed spirit...but my point is, don't deal with it alone, call me, the two of us will definitely have no problem dealing with a level 2 cursed spirit!"
Xiao Xia Youjie chuckled and said, "It's not because of this. Aren't cursed spirits born from negative emotions?"
"Yeah, so what?"
"We have been here for so long, and we have only encountered a Level 2 Curse Spirit that seems to be from outside, and we just discovered a newly born fly head. This shows that my grandparents live in a good and safe place. I don't have to worry about their safety anymore."
Xiao Gojo Satoru shrugged helplessly: "As expected... As expected of you, Jie, you are still worried about the weak."
"Because grandpa and grandma are both very good people," Xiao Xia Youjie said, "Satoru, don't you think so too? Although Satoru also thinks that they are weak, the tone he uses is different from when he talks about other weak people... It's also different when he mentions my mother."
"Huh? What's different?"
"More...gentle?"
"No, I'm not gentle to the weak. It's just... it's just because I've been living in your house for a while that I've been treating them better."
Xiao Xia Youjie smiled gently: "Well, let's go and exorcise that fly head, right? Although it has no ability to hurt people, it's not good to leave it alone."
"Let me crush it!" Xiao Gojo Satoru clenched his fist.
On the way, Xiao Xia Youjie suddenly thought of a question: "Why are there so few cursed spirits in the countryside than in the towns? Is it because there are fewer people?"
"Well...I don't know either." Xiao Gojo Satoru shook his head.
There wouldn't even be a fly near his house. Even if a cursed spirit was born, he wouldn't need to take action, as someone would be responsible for exorcising it... Although there were no cursed spirits in the dark, sometimes there would be a few small insects that would come to kill.
As the son of God and the hope of the world of spells, Gojo Satoru has also learned a lot of knowledge about spells, which naturally includes curse spirits. However, due to his young age, what he has learned is limited, and he is not very patient about it. It is precisely because of his childish nature that after awakening the technique, Gojo Satoru does not want to learn written knowledge. He would rather have more actual combat to test his abilities.
Hearing Xiao Xia Youjie's question, Xiao Gojo Satoru thought about it seriously. He had read some records related to cursed spirits. There were many examples of powerful cursed spirits breeding in rural areas, especially in remote, backward and isolated villages.
"I can only say that my grandparents' village is made of nice people," said Gojo Satoru, "It doesn't mean that there won't be powerful curse spirits."
Xiao Xia Youjie's thoughts were very open: "I wonder if my father left behind some special cursed spirit, even if he is gone, he can protect us from being disturbed by the cursed spirit."
"Your father?"
"Well, even though mom always denies that dad is a sorcerer, I know that he is a curse manipulator like me!"
Xiao Gojo Satoru stopped and looked at Xiao Xiayou Jie and said, "Jie, your father can't be a curse spirit operator."
"Wu, you... do you know any inside information?" Xiao Xia Youjie widened his eyes.
Just as he was about to start thinking, he heard Xiao Gojo Satoru roll his eyes: "What's the inside story? Come on, do you think it's easy to meet a Curse Spirit Master? That's even rarer than my six eyes! Didn't I tell you? A Curse Spirit Master is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Xiao Xia Youjie looked panicked: "Impossible? How could my father not be a cursed spirit operator? But my mother..."
Xiao Gojo Satoru spread his hands and said, "Didn't your mother always say that your father wasn't a sorcerer?"
Xiao Xia Youjie nodded blankly: "Well... But that's to protect me... But if dad is not a curse spirit operator like me, but just an ordinary curse master, then why did mom tell me that dad is not a curse master?"
Baichuanmu: ...That is to say, is there a possibility that I am telling the truth?
There is no way. Baichuan Mu is an ordinary person, but he knows a lot about sorcerers. So the only reasonable explanation is that Xiao Xia Youjie's father is a sorcerer.
But now, is Gojo Satoru going to end this ideological transformation?
But it didn’t…
"That means," Gojo Satoru's expression became serious, "Although it's just a guess, there's a high possibility... someone high up in the world of sorcery has their eyes on your father."
"Huh?" Xiao Xia Youjie's eyes widened and he couldn't help but clench his fists, "Why does Wu think so?"
"Among the high-ranking officials in the world of curse arts, there are many who may not like me! They think I will get in their way. If another curse spirit master appears, they will probably be even more anxious..." Little Gojo Satoru put his hands in his pockets and walked in a nonchalant manner, looking up at the sky. People are a little worried that he will fall down when walking like this. "Maybe there is something special about your father's ancestral bloodline. For example... they found out that there is a curse spirit master among your ancestors?"
"But..." Xiao Xia Youjie was puzzled. "Isn't the curse spirit operator very powerful? Isn't it good to have a powerful companion? After all, aren't our human enemies curse spirits?"
Xiao Gojo Satoru snorted. He had experienced many assassinations and no longer had such naive ideas. He said, "Because they feel that they can't control the curse spirit, just like they feel that they can't control the six eyes... But I am the strongest. Even if I am not now, I will be sooner or later! Jie, you will become the strongest like me, right?!"
"Yeah, of course." Xiao Xia Youjie was thoughtful and his voice was a little dull.
Xiao Gojo Satoru was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Don't you know? Your mother changed her surname back to her original name instead of continuing to use the surname 'Suzuki' in order to better protect you."
Xiao Xia Youjie was stunned for a moment and said, "If... that's the case, why didn't I change my last name to follow my mother's?"
"Perhaps... it is also to give you the right to choose whether to be an 'ordinary' cursed spirit operator, or to choose to expose the great conspiracy behind it."
"The great conspiracy..."
