August 2006.
Gu Yan'an, a super magician, hunted down the top leaders of the Panxing Sect around the world.
The swiftness of the action and the cruelty of the methods are chilling to the core.
Frequent murder cases attracted the attention of various countries, but after investigation, they ultimately returned without success.
In September 2006, Gu Yanan returned to the junior college. On the same day, Japanese officials issued a notice defining the Panxing Sect as a cult organization.
All wealthy businessmen and senior officials who provided funds or protection for the Panxing Sect were forced to withdraw... They will be monitored by the cursed spirits for life.
At the same time, the world of magic underwent earth-shaking changes.
There was a major reshuffle among the top management, the Gojo family emerged strongly, and the Kamo family was directly kicked out of the top management. Although the Zen family wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get a share of the pie, all plans were abandoned after Gojo Satoru's visit.
Noctua Zhengdao became the principal with the shortest tenure in the history of the college. He was promoted to countless levels and served as the sole decision-maker in the high-level circles of the magic world.
Leyan Temple strongly objected and openly summoned magicians to carry out a desperate struggle. Xia Youjie had no choice but to throw him into the prison underground of the high school. The position of principal of the Kyoto branch was temporarily vacant.
The super magician Jiujiu returned to China, and Gu Yanan came forward to express his love... Oh no, stop him.
After some "friendly exchanges", Jiujiu Youji promised not to interfere with the reform of the magic world, but at the same time asked future high-level people in the magic world to provide her with funds.
Gu Yanan agreed - it was not at his own expense anyway.
During this period, Gojo Satoru and Gu Yanan fought again...the outcome was unknown.
People only know that the smile on Gojo Satoru's face did not disappear for three days.
August 20, 2007, High Commissioner Conference Room.
Night Moth had two dark circles under his eyes and waved the bill in his hand angrily: "Ten million! What does that woman want to do at Ninety-Nine? Buy a plane?"
Gu Yanan coughed twice: "She said waiting for the plane all the time is too time-consuming, so it would be more cost-effective to buy a plane..."
"What a deal!" Noctua threw a stack of bills on the table: "And you guys too!"
Gu Yanan, Xia Youjie, and Gojo Satoru blinked innocently.
"Who can tell me why there are so many incidents of curse spirits hurting people this year?" Noctua's facial features twisted together: "Why did you three special forces go out, but you still let the curse spirits flood?"
"After all, we are just three people..." Gojo Satoru shrugged helplessly: "Japan is so big, and the magicians of the Kamo family and the Zenyuan family have been unable to work recently. What can we do?"
Noctua frowned: "I have long advised that reforms should not be too violent! It would be easier for you to threaten them directly with force, but I am not of the same mind as you!"
Gu Yanan said with an unkind expression: "I think they are still living too comfortably recently... How about I come to visit them?"
"Get some rest." Xia Youjie shook his head and said, "If you push too hard, they will really rebel... You can kill them all, but can you really kill them all?"
Gu Yanan pulled his hair irritably.
"You should work harder." Noctua sighed and sat on the chair: "Everything has pros and cons. These are the consequences you will bear when you implement reforms."
After the meeting ended, the three of them walked on campus. Gu Yanan hesitated and said again and again: "I'm sorry... I didn't expect it to be like this."
Gojo Satoru kicked him over: "Okay, although you came up with the idea, if it's not what I want to do, no matter how much you try to persuade me, it's useless."
Xia Youjie also nodded and said: "Although it is very difficult now, in fact everything is developing for the better. The influence of conservatives is gradually becoming smaller, and many unreasonable regulations have also been changed - isn't this what we all want? Do you want it?"
Gu Yanan nodded silently, looked at Xia Youjie, and suddenly said, "Jie...are you tired recently?"
"Huh? Are you okay?"
Gojo Satoru frowned and looked up and down: "Isn't that right? You have the word "tired" written on your face now, okay? Do you want to rest for two days?"
Gu Yanan nodded in agreement: "Yes, the tasks you are responsible for can be divided between the two of us."
Xia Youjie smiled and refused: "No, it's just too hot in the summer and I don't have enough sleep to eat."
"Really?" Gojo Satoru looked at Xia Youjie suspiciously: "It's better to find some glass and let her take a look."
"No, don't I know about my body?"
"Okay...you have something to tell us!"
"knew."
The three of them walked out of the campus in silence. Gu Yanan waved his hand: "We won't see each other until about a month later."
Gojo Satoru stretched his body: "Although I say I don't blame you, I still want to blame you a little - if you find so many things for me for no reason, sooner or later you will treat me to a big meal."
Xia Youjie nodded in agreement: "And mine."
Gu Yanan dug his ears: "What are you talking about? I can't hear you..."
"Get out!" Gojo Satoru kicked him.
"Hahaha, let's go."
"Bye-Bye."
"Bye-Bye."
…
Xia Youjie watched the two people leave and got on the tram in silence.
He looked at the buildings in the distance and thought in a daze:
Wu became the strongest, and Gu was almost the same. When they go on a mission, they don't need help from others.
Glass would never carry out high-risk tasks, so he might be alone for a long time.
Jingle Bell……
"Hello?"
"Lord Xiayou, there is a cursed spirit in the suburbs, probably about level one. Look..."
"I know." Xia Youjie sighed imperceptibly.
Perhaps because of the frequent disasters last year, there were surprisingly many cursed spirits this year. In addition, the reform has just been implemented, and many conservative magicians are unwilling to contribute... The scope of the special level's responsibility has to deal with even more incidents.
Traveling long distances, purifying, absorbing... the cycle starts over and over again.
Xia Youjie stretched out his hand, forcibly condensed the curse spirit into a small ball, and then swallowed it.
No one knows what it feels like to have a curse spirit.
Unlike Gu Yanan, in his eyes, the curse spirit is just a rag that has been wiped with vomit. Every time he swallows it, he must have enough courage and mental preparation.
Xia Youjie choked to tears at the strange smell, bent over and retched.
Who am I doing this for?
Xia Youjie was startled by his thoughts and patted his face to wake himself up.
Nothing unusual...it's just something everyone knows is ugly.
Didn’t I choose to be a magician because I already knew this?
Bang bang bang bang...
Applause seems to have been with me ever since that day.
Don't waver.
Xia Youjie kept telling himself.
The applause came from far to near, like a yellow bell, constantly vibrating my eardrums.
Don't waver and fulfill your responsibilities as a strong person.
Xia Youjie walked on the street, his hands in his pockets clenching the fabric tightly.
"monkey……"
He murmured in a voice he couldn't even hear.
On September 10, Xia Youjie returned to the High Commission to report on the completion of the task.
Haihara Xiong appeared with a face of surprise: "Senior! Long time no see!"
"Long time no see... Do you want something to drink? I'll treat you."
"What a shame...I want a Coke."
"OK."
The two sat down, and Haihara Xiong drank half of it in one breath: "Ah! It feels so good."
"The thing on your neck... was given to you by Gu?"
Haihara Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "Yes, Senior Gu said that this pendant can help us at critical moments. In fact, I don't need it, I am very powerful now..."
Xia Youjie looked at this energetic junior with some envy: "You must be very tired recently."
"Yes, tomorrow's mission will be far, far away..."
"Remember to bring some specialties back."
"Yes! Do you want something sweet or salty?"
"Wu likes sweet things, Gu likes salty things...let's take half of each."
"Understood!" Haiyuanxiong saluted, and then asked hesitantly: "Then... what about you?"
"Me?" Xia Youjie was a little stunned, then smiled and said, "I can do it."
"oh."
After a moment of silence, Xia Youjie said, "Can you continue to be a conjurer? Don't you think it's too hard?"
"This..." Haihara Xiong thought deeply for a moment: "I don't think too deeply about everything. But I think that if you try your best to do what you can, it will feel great!"
"Is this so..." Xia Youjie murmured, "It's pretty good."
"Are you classmate Xia You?" A female voice suddenly sounded: "What kind of woman do you like...?"
Xia Youjie didn't know whether to complain or answer for a moment.
He looked at the yellow-haired woman in front of him and held back a sentence for a long time: "Who are you?"
"I like girls with big appetites!" Haiyuanxiong suddenly raised his hand.
"Haiyuan..."
"It's okay. She's not a bad person. I'm still very confident in my vision of people!"
"If that were the case, you wouldn't be sitting next to me..."
"Hahaha." The yellow-haired girl laughed: "Are you mocking him or yourself?"
After Haiyuanxiong stood up and left, the yellow-haired girl sat next to Xia Youjie: "You are still very cute as a junior."
Xia Youjie shook his head: "As a magician, he should learn to look at people with suspicion. So...who are you?"
"Special magician, Ninety-nine Yuki. You should know me, right?"
"Oh." Xia Youjie suddenly realized: "Are you the guy who thinks it's a waste of time waiting for flights and wants to buy a plane?"
"...Yes, I am that guy." Jiujiu Youji turned his head to the other side angrily: "I hate high schools."
"...I remember you finally bought a plane, right?"
"That's not what I mean." Jiujiu Youji shook his head and said, "I know it's just a disagreement with the policy of the college. People here are all practicing symptomatic treatment, and I want to implement causative treatment."
"What is the cause cure?"
"It's not about hunting down the cursed spirits, it's about creating a world without cursed spirits."
Xia Youjie looked at Jiujiu Youji in shock: "Can this... be done?"
Jiujiu Youji smiled and said: "Let me ask you where the curse spirit comes from?"
"Humanity."
"That's right." Jiujiu Youji snapped his fingers: "The curse spirit is the accumulation of the curse power leaked from human beings. So there are two ways to create a world without the curse spirit."
"One, let all mankind's curse disappear. Two, let all mankind learn to control the curse."
"Yi's idea is quite good, and there are practical examples. You know him."
Xia Youjie frowned: "Who?"
"The Chanyuan is very good. Because of the heaven and the curse, there are many examples of the mantra's power being the same as that of ordinary people, but he is the only one whose mantra power is completely 0. Although the mantra's power is 0, he can sense the spirit of the mantra with the five senses. Because The body has no magical power at all, but has gained resistance to the magical power."
"But there are too few examples of heaven and curses, so I focused on the second idea. Did you know? Magicians cannot produce curse spirits - of course, this does not include the case of death becoming a curse."
"Magicians can control the flow of magic power in the body, and almost no magic power will leak out... Generally speaking, if all human beings become magicians, then no magic spirits will be born."
Xia Youjie was shocked, and at the same time, a dark thought also appeared in his mind.
He even said it accidentally:
"What if...kill all non-magicians?"
