"Are you really not going to come out for a chat, Jie?" Gojo Satoru's voice echoed in this empty place, and then there was movement above his head.

Gojo Satoru took two steps back.

Then, a man with long black hair appeared in front of him.

The man was wearing a somewhat funny five-stripe cassock, and his black hair was not smooth, but it looked just right when tied into a half-bun.

His eyes were narrow, but not actually small, and on his face was a gentle yet false smile that was so fake it was nauseating.

This is his best friend - Geto Summer Oil.

Actually, Geto Suguru jumped down from the top of the eaves, and he had never thought of hiding it from Gojo Satoru.

However, meeting Gojo Satoru was unexpected.

"Good evening, Satoru." Xia Yujie smiled, his narrow eyes narrowed like a cunning and treacherous fox.

"Good evening." Gojo Satoru also smiled, as if the sensational defection half a year ago had never happened. They were still close friends, except that he became a teacher, and Geto Suguru became... a charlatan.

"Is there a memorial service here?" Gojo Satoru approached him, a look of curiosity on his face.

"Can Jay use spells or something to exorcise ghosts?"

Xia Yujie:……

After not seeing each other for half a year, his best friend was really getting more and more outrageous. He held his forehead and said, "It's just a religion. Why do you think it's some messed up feudal superstition?"

"Eh--oh well." Gojo Satoru drawled out his voice in disappointment upon hearing that.

"...It's obviously your idea that's too weird." Xia Yujie complained.

Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, they get along surprisingly well.

"Jie... you saw what happened just now, didn't you?" Gojo Satoru looked at him and approached him with a smile, "The cursed spirit just now was obviously Jie's."

The distance was very close, Gojo Satoru's cyan eyes were less than 20 centimeters away from him. Xia Yujie knew very well that Gojo Satoru was here to settle accounts with him.

Well, but...

"Well, you know I won't harm a sorcerer." Xia Yujie pushed him away with a relaxed expression, "The reason why my cursed spirit is here..."

"Because I was hunting down a curser."

Xia Yujie smiled and said, "Maybe you have met him too?"

Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Eh? What kind of curser is it? Tell me, Jay?"

"The reason I told you this was because I wanted to tell you." said Xia Yujie.

"Hmm?" Gojo Satoru hummed a questioning tone through his nose.

They haven't had any contact for a long time since Geto Suguru's defection.

Although he and Geto were close friends, he still didn't quite understand why Geto defected - maybe he had a vague feeling, but overall, in his opinion, Geto's behavior was a bit inexplicable.

But he was still willing to admit that Xia Youjie was his best friend and his nephew.

So it was really rare to hear Geto Takeru say today that he had something to tell him.

Gojo Satoru is also willing to listen, and if necessary, he will cooperate with Geto Suguru.

Looking at Gojo Satoru standing there lazily waiting for his answer, Xia Yujie was a little dazed.

Why did he defect?

Because ordinary humans are weak and disgusting, a bunch of ruthless and ungrateful people.

He is a sorcerer and a strong man, and he should protect the weak.
