"The situation was quite critical at the time, and then Gojozawa-senpai suddenly appeared in the air and knocked down the cursed spirit with one blow!"
"Fortunately, Gojozawa-senpai is here, otherwise Nanami and I would be in trouble!"
Haiyuanxiong described the scene in front of Xia Youjie.
"Na na na! Senior Xia You, can you also do that?"
Xia Youjie touched his nose and said, "Absolutely."
"As expected of Senior Xia You! Oh, by the way, this is the souvenir you asked me for!"
"Haiyuan, it's time to hand in the mission report."
Nanami said to Haiyuan. When she saw Xia Youjie, she stepped forward and said hello, "Senior Xia You!"
Xia Youjie smiled and waved in response, then looked at the two people leaving and fell into deep thought.
"Did you almost die... This time it was the blessing of the goddess of luck. What about next time? What about next time?"
"The marathon called a magic technique ends with a pile of corpses of friends. Even if the curse spirit is eliminated, it cannot be eradicated. Human greed and fear have no end."
Just as he was lost in thought, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
Xia Youjie woke up with a start, looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when he found it was Gojozawa.
"Hey, Ze, don't suddenly appear behind others, it will scare them to death!"
Gojozawa smiled and said, "It's obvious that you have let down your guard, right? What are you thinking about that makes you so distracted?"
Xia Youjie paused and asked tentatively: "Ze, do you think what we are doing is really right?"
"In this world, human greed and fear will never end, and the curse spirits will never disappear. In the end, nothing will change except the corpses of the companions in the path of a curse master!"
"Well..."
Gojozawa sat down next to Xia Youjie, "Then according to what you said, the sun will explode in five billion years, and everything will cease to exist, and dust will return to dust."
"Since everything will be annihilated sooner or later and nothing can be changed, then everyone might as well just leave it to pieces!"
Xia Youjie's mouth twitched, "That's not what I meant... Hey, seriously, Ze, why do you want to be a conjurer?"
Gojozawa was sweating a little.
I traveled to Gojo's house and became a six-eyed man. I don't want to be a magician, so it's impossible!
However, after these years, Gojozawa has completely accepted the life here.
"If I have to talk about it, convenience stores on the roadside, movie theaters in Ginza, comic conventions in Akihabara, AKB48..."
"Hey, hey, are they just these trivial gadgets?"
Xia Youjie looked puzzled.
"Jie, you always say that magicians should protect non-magicians, and even lose their lives because of it, as if this is a natural responsibility."
"But, I fight the curse spirit just for myself, because I like this world and I like living here, so I don't allow anything to destroy it."
"Do you think Haihara Yuo became a magician because he has the responsibility to protect the weak? No, but because the act of protecting the weak is his own passion, so in essence, he also lives for himself."
In fact, this problem didn't just confuse Xia Youjie.
According to the original plot, Nanami Kento also deeply doubted the meaning of what he was doing.
Later, as soon as he graduated from high school, he quit his job as a magician, abandoned his responsibility of "protecting the weak", and worked as a social worker in a company.
Later, after I realized what I was thinking (or maybe it was because working was more shit than being a magician), I returned to the ranks of magicians.
So in fact, the conjurer has the freedom to choose whether he wants to take on this responsibility.
Gojozawa turned to look at Xia Youjie, "Then, why did you become a magician, Jie, after giving up the shackles of protecting the weak?"
Ze's words made Jie freeze on the spot.
He began to ask himself why he became a conjurer.
Protect the weak?
It seemed that it was just the magician's dogma that he had been exposed to since he was a child, rather than what he really wanted to do.
For a moment, Xia Youjie became even more confused, and even a little irritable for no reason.
beep beep beep——
Suddenly, Xia Youjie's phone rang.
He took out his mobile phone and heard the voice from the mission department on the other end, "Mr. Xia You, I have a mission for you. The location is in a remote mountainous area..."
Gojozawa's ears moved and he overheard the mission location.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Xia Youjie sighed and turned to Wujo Ze with a forced smile.
"I'll get busy first."
Gojoze nodded, looking at Xia Youjie's retreating figure, and scratched his hair with a headache.
"Should I tell Satoru..."
On the outskirts of Tokyo, in a remote mountainous area in Hakone Prefecture.
"Monsters! Two monsters! Monsters just like your parents!"
"I should have killed you while you were still babies!"
"My children almost died because of you. I can't let you continue to do evil!"
Xia Youjie ignored the villagers' criticism and expressionlessly supported the two little girls shivering in the cage.
His clothes were shabby, his face was sallow and his muscles were thin, and his body was covered with bloodstains from abuse.
These two people are Gaochang Nanako and Gaochang Mimiko.
The village chief shouted loudly next to Xia Youjie: "Mr. Xia You, these are the two monsters!"
"The two of them chattered all day and night. After that, strange things happened in our village every day, and several people died and went crazy!"
Villagers in remote mountainous areas obviously still retain some feudal superstitions.
In their view, Nanako and Mimiko, who behaved strangely, were the culprits responsible for the frequent occurrences of strange things.
However, as a magician, Xia Youjie saw the clues at a glance.
"Two children who were born in a remote mountainous area and have the talent for magic... You can tell what's going on when you see this!"
Combined with the details told by the villagers, there are also the subtle movements and eyes of the two little girls.
Xia Youjie figured out the whole story effortlessly.
The two people who awakened their magical talents saw the cursed spirits that ordinary people could not see. The kind-hearted two people decided to use the awakened power in their bodies to help the villagers.
As a result, because their power was too weak, instead of exorcising the cursed spirit, the two men's abnormal behavior aroused suspicion and hostility among the villagers.
In front of me are two sisters huddled together, leaning against each other, and in their ears are the villagers' endless and unbearable curses.
Protect the weak? Who is the weak one?
Create a world without cursed spirits? Kill all non-spellcasters?
At this moment, Xia Youjie had no such thoughts in his mind.
He is just angry now and just wants to...kill people!
"that……"
Xia Youjie suddenly turned his head, smiled and said to the village chief: "I discovered something. Let's go outside and talk."
