[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

"Tell me, what's going on."

Jia Ru Nishiko knocked on the marble counter, and the bartender at the bar pushed a special drink of Tequila Sunrise at the right time.

The yellow, orange and brown-red layers of wine are extremely beautiful.

"How did you extract a cursed tool that cannot be scanned by instruments from such a fragile brain? Also, when did you have such a deep connection with the Fushiguro family?"

He took a sip of the cold wine in the cup and looked straight at Huailiang with his amber eyes, "I heard from Wu that you met Fushiguro Megumi for the first time last winter."

Huailiang immediately laughed: "Ah, that, it's a long story."

Jiaru Nishiko didn't buy it. As they had been drinking buddies for such a long time, their friendship had quickly warmed up, so naturally he wouldn't try to maintain a polite distance anymore.

She continued to ask: "Then let's make it short."

"For the first problem, use mental power to control it. Just do this first, then that, and finally pull it, and it will be fine."

The corners of Naoko Ieiri's mouth twitched as she heard this. She finally understood why Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru had looked astonished after listening to her explain the essentials of the reversal technique.

Her mood at the moment was like a thousand horses galloping through her mind, and she even wanted to pull the other person's collar and yell:

This way and that way, which one is it?

Huai Liang seemed not to notice the other party's secretive expression. He raised his eyelids and continued: "As for the origin of the Fushiguro family..."

"Let's call it affinity. It's almost like the first time I saw you, Naoko. I felt a strong affinity with you instinctively."

After a pause, her silver-gray eyes were filled with warmth, "Plus, when I was down and out, I received the favor of Huijun."

"So, isn't it only natural to help his sister escape the persecution of the malicious curse?"

Ieiri Naoko nodded, still showing a helpless look on her face: "I thought you were going to give a long speech about 'the obligations of a sorcerer' or 'it is my responsibility to protect non-sorcerers'."

“Ah…that.”

Huailiang seemed to remember something and smiled mischievously, "It sounds like there is a story behind it."

The singer on the stage was singing a country ballad. The colorful stage lights shone on his no longer young face, making him look decadent yet free.

After lighting a cigarette for herself, Jiaru Xiaozi lit one for Huailiang: "When we were still in technical high school, Wu and I had a close friend, Jie, Xiayou Jie, he always looked so compassionate."

As she spoke, she suddenly smiled, her amber eyes looking particularly bright under the light, "For a long time, I thought he was going to compete with me, a reserve doctor, for the main job of saving lives and healing the wounded."

"But later on, I don't know if it was because of the onset of Chuunibyou or because too much pressure had accumulated, but his mental state became very bad."

At this point, she sighed quietly, "I even prescribed medicine for him, but it was a pity that it didn't work."

"But he is living a good life now. The leader of Panxing Sect is such a prestigious title."

Huailiang nodded slightly and continued, "I just don't know what happened back then that caused him and Wu to become so unfamiliar with each other today."

She was indeed curious, but it wasn't entirely a break.

Geto Suguru did not follow the dark and hopeless path in the "original timeline", even though he mixed with the curse masters after leaving the high school and gathered their strength -

It would not have escalated to such an out-of-control extent. There was no indiscriminate killing of innocent people, and no "monkey" elimination plan was launched.

Furthermore, due to the peculiarities of its techniques, the Panxing Sect has also stepped up its efforts to search for and exorcise all kinds of cursed spirits, and can truly be called "a breath of fresh air in the world of curses."

He has done much more practical work than those old guys in the general managerial department who are just sitting there doing nothing.

The hand holding the wine glass paused, and a strange look flashed across Jialiu Xiaozi's face. She bit her lip and said teasingly, "No way - are you asking me for news related to Jay?"

Huai Liang would certainly not admit it: "What gave you this illusion?"

"I'm concerned about Wu, haven't you ever thought about reconciling the two of them over the years?"

Ieiri Naoko shook her index finger, her expression mysterious and playful: "But the subject of your previous sentence was 'he' who represented Jie first, and then 'Satoru'."

"'He and Wu have gotten to the point where they are so unfamiliar with each other today'. From a psychological point of view, the one whose name you care about more will be subconsciously placed at the top of the list."

Seeing the other person's expression of "leniency to those who confess", Huailiang smiled lazily: "I didn't expect that you, Xiaozi, also studied psychology."

"But didn't I mention 'him' because you wrote so many stories and words about 'him'?"

Ieiri Naoko's excitement gradually turned into suspicion: "Really?"

"Why not?"

Huailiang shrugged and tapped the side of his head with his hand, "Xiaozi, you should drink less alcohol, it will affect your judgment."

"The only way I can relieve stress is by smoking and drinking. Well, I have a reversal technique, so it's no problem~"

Ieiri Naoko yawned, looked at the watch on her wrist, and the hands pointed to 12:3 in the morning.

"Good times are always so short. It's almost time to go home. If Wu knew I brought you out for a drink, he would get mad again."

"That guy, ugh, I can't even bear to look at him."

Huailiang did not forget the original intention of coming out today: "I'd like to ask you to take good care of Jin Meiji."

"After all, she's been in a coma for so many years. Although her metabolism is still like that of a normal human, it's slower after all... She looks about the same age as Hui now."

Ieiri Naoko hummed, then assured, "There's nothing wrong. I checked it out. Her cerebral cortex is very active."

"It's just for a short period of time. She may have cognitive impairment. Let her brother stay with her more and learn more about the changes in the past and present... She will be discharged from the hospital soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure slowly approached.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Huailiang looked back over Jiaru Xiaozi's shoulders and saw that the man was wearing a well-cut shirt with the hem tucked into casual trousers.

Although it is a simple outfit, it has a unique charm because of her extremely superior figure.

The accessories embellished on the fingers and neck further highlight her unruly temperament.

Huailiang's pupils trembled: No, why is he here!

Ieiri Naoko also noticed the look in her friend's eyes, and turned her head to look back -

Oh, isn’t the person coming Suguru Geto?

Seeing the suspicion in Huailiang's eyes, she waved her hands and said quietly and quickly: "It's not me!"
