If we encounter some cursed spirit again, he will probably abandon me and run away.

"Okay, it's too dangerous here. I'll take you out." Seeing that he didn't respond, Hamada Sou stretched out his left hand and touched the tip of his nose, then suggested again.

"Go out? Is there any safe place here now?" Xia Yujie repeated, looking at the man in front of him with his deep purple pupils, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

The man nodded firmly, "Of course, the back is a very safe place."

He lied. It wasn't safe back there, but at least it was much safer than here.

He also heard that there was a so-called "sorcerer" in the rear, and it seemed that he was from a relatively large family.

In this case, it would definitely be much safer to send ordinary people to the rear.

Xia Yujie sneered, but the sound was not loud enough for the man in front of him to hear.

Hamada Sou let him get in the car, and drove all the way from the city to the suburbs, and then stopped in front of a building that looked familiar to Geto Suguru.

No, it wasn't the building that looked familiar to him, but the sign on it -

——Zenin family.

Xia Yujie suddenly realized something.

Gojo Satoru and his students should be at the front line right now - with Gojo Satoru's personality, there is no way he would stay behind.

Of course, it was impossible for that bunch of old bastards to let Gojo Satoru, the strongest one, stay behind.

So those who stayed behind were those guys who had no skills but a little bit of arrogance brought up in feudal families.

Xia Yujie narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed in his purple pupils.

Hamada Sou sent him outside and said to him:

"It's safe here, just stay here."

The blue-eyed man narrowed his eyes at him and spoke gently.

I don't know why, but Geto Xiayou always has the illusion that he is being treated as a child.

After saying this, Hamada Sou turned his body to the side and gave him a soothing smile.

Xia Youjie got out of the car - he was going to see who was inside.

However, the moment he got off the car——

A cursed spirit attacked at lightning speed and rushed towards Kagome Geto.

The black-haired young man was too lazy to even look at it, and he moved his fingers slightly, preparing to exorcise the curse.

It's just a second level. For him now, exorcising it is no different from eating and drinking water.

However, before he could release the spell, he was knocked down by the same force.

The two of them successfully avoided the attack of the cursed spirit and stood up from the ground again in a slightly clumsy manner.

Xia Yujie looked at the man in front of him with a complicated expression.

Aren’t ordinary people unable to see cursed spirits? Then who is this guy?

The guy who claimed to be a policeman didn't turn his head. He just asked him in a gentle but somewhat unconfident tone, "Are you not hurt?"

Xia Yujie blinked his eyes, and for some reason, he said, "What if I say I'm injured?"

The policeman was silent for two seconds, as if he was thinking about something, but his answer came out quickly, "Then I'll send you to the hospital. In this environment, the wound will get infected if it is not treated."

Xia Yujie cast his eyes towards the policeman's right hand that was covering his abdomen and said, "Okay, let's go."

The policeman didn't move.

"Not leaving?" asked Xia Yujie.

The policeman did not answer his question immediately, but after a few seconds he replied: "...Let's go!"

He saw the policeman stand up staggeringly, turn his back to him, and walk towards the car.

"You are injured."

This was a declarative tone. Looking at the unstable but exceptionally tall figure in front of him, Xia Yujie couldn't quite describe what he was feeling.

Ordinary humans - that is, humans without cursed power and techniques - can usually only see cursed spirits when they are on the verge of death.

So the policeman was nearly dead.

Xia Yujie thought.

This is not the only evidence for his conclusion. The reason why he is sure of this conclusion is because...

He smelled a strong smell of blood.

The amount of bleeding from a normal injury would not reach this concentration.

But it had nothing to do with him.

He shouldn't have said that.

The cursed spirit nearby was waiting for its chance to strike. It looked at the two people warily, and finally decided to attack the human who had the smell it liked.

So he curled himself up, and the tentacles behind him began to swing like waves, and finally slammed the ground, causing a huge reaction force that made it bounce off the ground and fly past like a ball.

——He attacked directly towards Geto.

This cursed spirit was nothing to Geto Xia Yu, but just as he was about to exorcise it, it struck for the third time.

Yes, he was knocked down by the policeman again.

But this time he was not as lucky as the previous two times. The policeman was hit and rolled five or six meters outside.

Geto Suguru struggled to break free from his arms. Hamada Sou was now out of strength and after moving twice, he was unable to stand up.

So the black-haired young man stood aside with his eyes lowered, the policeman's somewhat pale face reflected in his deep purple eyes.

He said nothing, but deliberately formed a spell with his hands in front of him and summoned a cursed spirit.

Seeing the policeman's pupils move with the appearance of the cursed spirit, Xia Yujie knew that he could still see the cursed spirit.

He made a gesture, and the cursed spirit he was controlling moved away from the ground, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed up the cursed spirit that had just attacked it.

After doing these things, he looked down at Hamada Sou again.

Would he get mad? Or sad? Or even just want to kill him?

Hamada Sou was stunned for a moment, then she narrowed her eyes with some relief, and there was genuine joy in her aqua blue eyes.

"So you have the ability to protect yourself. That's great."

There was a smile in his tone.

There was no sadness or anger, just genuine happiness for him, and perhaps some satisfaction that he could protect himself.

"No wonder you're alone in a place like that." said Hamada Sou.

"Hmm." Xia Youjie hummed, his deep purple eyes met those aqua blue eyes, and when he touched the depths, he shuddered a little.

He was the first to look away and stated a fact indifferently, "You are going to die."

"I know." Hamada Sou was still smiling, and his aquamarine eyes also moved away to look at the sky in the distance.

It is now 3:40 in the afternoon. The sky is high, vast and a deep blue.

There was something firm rippling in his eyes, and a cloud was reflected in them, which seemed more beautiful than the sky.

"I was ready when I chose my career," he said.

Xia Yujie listened quietly. He didn't know why he was still standing there, so he sat down.

The robe fell to the ground covered with dust and some blood, becoming stained just like his target.

"Policemen serve the people and the country, protecting the weak and upholding justice, but they will eventually die." Hamada Sou glanced at Geto Suguru, then continued:

"So I have been prepared since the beginning, since I entered the police academy - I have to live up to the five-petal cherry blossoms on my shoulders."

Xia Yujie didn't say anything, he also looked up at the sky. The sun was hiding behind the clouds, and one or two dazzling rays of light were shot out in the gaps between the clouds, which made its presence particularly noticeable.

"But some people are not worthy of being protected." Xia Yujie said coldly.

"I know, but there are always more worthwhile things than unworthwhile things," Hamada said. "You know what? The first time I was hurt, it wasn't because of the suspect, but because of the victim."

Xia Yujie's breathing paused, and his fingers that were pressing on the ground curled slightly, as if he wanted to dig a hole in the ground.

He didn't reply, but Hamada Sou knew he was listening.

"A serial killer kidnapped a mother and daughter and locked them in a room with only one door. When my colleague and I went there, they were hiding behind the door with a knife in their hands."

"After I went in, my mother rushed towards me with a knife in her hand." Hamada Sou raised his head slightly, revealing his neck hidden in his uniform, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.

——There is a scar that runs across the entire Adam’s apple. It doesn’t look deep, but it is particularly eye-catching and shocking at this location.
