Chapter 007: Jay Becomes a Policeman
Because of Geto Suguru from another world, Gojo Satoru paid special attention to the police industry.
The Jujutsu world also cooperates with the police, and some police officers know about the existence of the Jujutsu world, making it easier to find them when they encounter inhumane cases.
However, Gojo Satoru usually didn't pay attention to this group. In fact, he never paid much attention to those he didn't care about.
[I swear to uphold the national constitution and laws, obey orders, prioritize police duties, not be afraid of any incident, not be hated by anyone, and perform police duties according to my conscience, impartially, fairly and justly.]
This is the oath that every Neon police officer will take under the cherry blossoms, and he believes that most people mean it when they say it.
As for Geto, he will only abide by the rules more strictly, and every move he makes will be that of a diligent and conscientious police officer.
In the world of sorcery, a vow is more like a curse that spreads from the soul and lingers on. If you sow the seeds, you reap the fruits. There are only two paths to take: disobey or obey.
At least this Geto Summer has shown himself to be an honest and excellent police officer.
But a police officer is supposed to protect every member of the public in the best interests of the public.
However, what Xia Yujie did just now was not what a qualified police officer should do.
Gojo Satoru doesn't want to see another Geto Suguru who goes crazy for his ideals and justice. If that is true, then everything he has considered must be overturned and started over again.
Idealists are easy to be beaten and reckless. This is one of the five things that I have learned from my mistakes. I will not make the same mistake again.
——Not seeing the other party’s struggle and pain, he will stop the loss in time.
"...I know the window exists," Chidori said after a few seconds of silence, "He won't die, and my actions haven't violated any laws."
There was no direct answer at all. Gojo Satoru stared at the person in front of him without saying a word.
Chidori lowered her eyes, unable to see his changing emotions.
The next second, he heard Gojo Satoru's voice: "Okay, go meet Jie."
Chidori was a little surprised. He raised his eyes to look at Gojo Satoru and saw that he had a smile on his face and was poking the unrecognizable parfait with his hand.
"It doesn't matter what Jie does," Gojo Satoru said casually, but with absolute confidence, "Because I will be watching from the side. No matter what the result is, as the strongest, I can cover it."
He spoke very naturally, which was due to his own strength that he was able to say this, and Gojo Satoru did have the capital to do so.
The strongest among human beings is the only one who stands at the top of the world.
If when he was young he could only stand there in disbelief, pinching his palms helplessly, then now he will definitely take a step forward, using whatever means he can, doing everything he can.
Chidori smiled softly. He really felt that Gojo Satoru in front of him was... so naive that he was cute.
——————
Gojo Satoru did what he said. After finishing the desserts he ordered, he pulled him into Ijichi's car.
Ijichi is also Gojo Satoru's junior, and of course he knows Natsuyuki Kagome, but when he saw Chidori, he surprisingly didn't react much.
Gojo Satoru must have made some preparations, Chidori realized, whether it was that group of students, the soothed Yaga Masamichi, or the currently silent world of spells.
The existence of Geto Suguru from another world did not seem to cause any waves in this world. No, it was Gojo Satoru who stood in front and blocked all the wind and rain.
This feeling of being completely protected made Chidori's heart tremble slightly, but compared to being the protected, he still preferred to stand in the front.
Gojo Satoru never said what he had done, so Chidori didn't say anything either. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "Would you mind telling me about your past?"
Even though he and Geto Suguru are the same person, different experiences have shaped them into different people.
Gojo Satoru crossed his legs and was silent for a few seconds after hearing Chidori's words. He then summarized it in the simplest words:
"When Jay and I were at the Polytechnic, we received a mission. During this mission, the person we were supposed to protect died. The person who died was an ordinary person who was younger than me.
That summer was too hot, and Jay was prone to daydreaming. After losing our junior and seeing a sorcerer's child being abused during another mission, he massacred a village and then defected."
It sounded like Gojo Satoru was summarizing their three years of youth like a mission statement, as if this was someone else's story.
After saying this, Gojo Satoru turned to look at Chidori, apparently asking him to talk about his own world as well.
Chidori was tidying up his hair slowly. His scattered black hair slightly covered his face, as if he was trying to hide something.
His earlobes were nice, but he didn't have earrings like people in this world, and they were faintly hidden under his hair.
"My story may be very long," he said, not as straightforwardly as he usually did, but just repeated in a very light voice, "Because it is very long, I'd better find a better time to tell it."
Gojo Satoru didn't say anything, but just shrugged his shoulders, knowing that he would know it sooner or later anyway.
"You should know that ordinary people are the source of the negative emotions of the cursed spirits," Gojo Satoru said coldly, "and you have quite a lot of negative emotions right now."
Chidori paused. Of course he knew this and was trying hard to control himself, but... emotions were uncontrollable.
"...I understand." He just responded softly. Even if it was difficult, he had to restrain himself.
Gojo Satoru could tell that the person sitting next to him was not in a good mood, and Chidori had no idea how powerful Gojo Satoru's six eyes really were.
Therefore, hidden by his black hair, the young man who had always been gentle and polite no longer concealed the tiredness on his face. His lowered eyes fell into the air, looking powerless and weary.
Also, when an ordinary person comes to a world completely beyond his cognition, becomes a weak person in need of protection, and sees terrifying cursed spirits, can he really maintain a stable mentality?
Such an expression made Gojo Satoru frown. He wanted to say something, but Chidori made another move. He slowly tied up his hair.
When he raised his eyes again, there was a faint smile in his eyes, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
Unwilling to say anything, he swallowed all the bitterness alone, then smiled and said he was fine.
Gojo Satoru suddenly snorted loudly, and crossed his arms over his shoulders in anger. Feeling the puzzled looks from the people around him, he said in a resentful tone:
"I really hate you the most!!"
"You are a teacher after all, are you still a child? Wu."
Chidori, who was worried about the dirt on her body, heard these inexplicable words, her smile froze, and she spoke lightly and complained.
"Huh? I'm a top hot teacher, but Jay has turned into an annoying adult."
Perhaps Chidori's words were too familiar, Gojo Satoru raised his head and retorted without thinking, even using a self-proclaimed name that he hadn't said for a long time.
"I'm so sorry, I'm 28 years old, and I'm indeed an older and more stable adult than that spicy teacher."
"He's only one year old. Humph, are you going to be as disrespectful as a rotten orange?"
…
Somehow, the two of them started talking about everything from age to appearance to occupation, talking about whatever came to mind.
Ijichi secretly glanced at the two people quarreling in the back seat. One was the strongest who terrified the world of sorcery, and the other was a mysterious and powerful visitor from another world. But now they were like children.
But the smile in his eyes was not deceiving; he was obviously delighted by the scene.
The two of them got tired of arguing, and they stopped after looking at each other tacitly, hugged their shoulders and tilted their heads to look at the scenery outside their windows.
After a long time, the car had already entered the large forest of the Jujutsu High School, and the relaxed atmosphere in the car disappeared silently.
"Ordinary people can see the existence of cursed spirits under the stimulation of death, but ordinary people without talent can't change anything even if they see it."
In the quiet carriage, Gojo Satoru spoke in a calm voice, stating the facts and also tearing apart the fantasy.
The pupils of those who heard it shrank slightly, which was a sign of surprise, but it only lasted for a moment, and the surprise was quickly suppressed.
He just murmured softly: "...Is that so?"
People without talent will never be able to enter the world of sorcerers in their lifetime. No wonder Geto Suguru in this world divides ordinary people and sorcerers so sharply.
Gojo Satoru stared at him, and indeed saw no other emotions from him except surprise and a little regret.
He was a little surprised. This suicidal move by Geto must have been a gamble on whether he could become a sorcerer, but it seemed more like... he just wanted to see the curse spirit with his own eyes.
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru are ultimately different individuals with their own thoughts. Even if they are close friends, they cannot understand everything.
In silence, they finally arrived at their destination. Ijichi, who stopped at the school gate, breathed a sigh of relief. If he stayed any longer, he would not dare to breathe!
Even though these two people didn't speak, their different auras made it seem like they were arguing and fighting against each other. Obviously, he was the only one who was hurt.
Gojo Satoru got off the car first. Xia Yujie smiled at Ijichi, as if to express his apology, but he did not say a word. He had the same arrogance as Gojo Satoru.
Chidori didn't have time to care about her dirty clothes. After all, Gojo Satoru had no intention of giving her any time.
When he reached the house he had been to before but had not opened the door, Chidori stopped and looked at Gojo Satoru in front of him.
"Jay's cursed power cannot be used for the time being. You go in, I will stay outside."
Gojo Satoru reached out and pressed the door, raised his chin at him, and said generously that he would listen outside.
Chidori knew that she still couldn't see. Gojo Satoru had obviously used cursed power to do something just now. No wonder he was stopped last time.
"I see." Chidori pushed the door open slightly, paused, and turned to Gojo Satoru and said softly, "Thank you, Satoru."
If the world of sorcery knew about letting him meet Geto Suguru, even if it was Yoga Masamichi, Gojo Satoru would probably be under a lot of pressure.
But he did it anyway, without even asking Chidori his purpose.
Gojo Satoru was stunned. After Chidori finished speaking, she pushed the door open decisively, walked in, and then closed it directly.
Chidori, who looked a little bit sullen, looked at Geto, who was sitting on a chair with a few talismans stuck on his body as a symbol.
His arm had recovered, and his sharp hearing as a top-class sorcerer enabled him to know who the visitor was.
Xia Yujie's black hair fell down past his shoulders, and he was wearing a clean monk's robe. He looked neither good nor bad. His face, which could not hide his tiredness, curled up into a smile, and he tilted his head and looked at him with a smile.
If we say that Geto Xia Yu in a white shirt is gentle and peaceful, he looks friendly and steady, with a refreshing softness, like a drooping pure white bell orchid.
Then the Geto in front of us is the mandala of "one flower, one world" in Buddhism, which does not hide its danger but blooms gorgeously.
The only similarity is that both the bell orchid and the datura are beautiful and poisonous.
