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

Gojo Satoru did not look back. His eyes were always on the girl who was smiling with gratitude after being rescued.

"Take out the stolen items and give us half of them, then you can leave."

"W-what?"

The girl, who had been continuously expressing her gratitude by saying things like 'Thank you so much', 'I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't appeared', 'I don't know how to thank you', was stunned for a moment.

The gratitude on his face turned into hesitation and indecision.

Gojo Satoru raised his chin and said, "I'm in a bad mood right now. Don't let me say anything unnecessary."

"I don't quite understand... This-"

Geto Xiayou walked out from the shadows at the corner and slowly walked to Gojo Satoru's side: "Maybe we can ask her something else, Satoru."

He originally wanted to smooth things over. After all, they had just entered a different world and were unfamiliar with the place. He could just find the girl in front of him who seemed to be frightened and talk to her.

"Hurry up if you don't want to die."

Gojo Satoru's expression still showed an extremely impatient and cold expression, "Nothing can be hidden from my eyes."

Perhaps it was the pressure from the powerful white-haired man, or perhaps it was the discovery that the man had a black-haired companion beside him, which made the girl feel great pressure.

She first glared at Geto Suguru uncontrollably, and then took out a palm-sized bag from her bracelet like a magic trick.

He carefully poured out four irregularly shaped dark blue stones, then slowly squatted down and placed them on the ground.

"And that's all."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly slipped away.

The figure was as nimble as a wild cat, with great speed and flexibility, like Catwoman in a movie on Blue Star.

Gojo Satoru frowned, seemingly not wanting to touch those stones on the dirty ground that looked like they should be extremely valuable.

With a slight raise of his hand, the stones floated in front of him.

"Hey, call the cursed spirit that can only store things out and take this ugly pink thing away."

Xiayou Jie did as he was told. The end of the "emergency" made him feel a little relieved. In addition, he realized that he was not the only one who came to this strange world.

This gave him a lot of sense of security.

Even a few minutes before he 'crossed over', his best friend punched him twice and snatched his girlfriend away from his arms.

But at this moment, the anger and bitterness in his heart were suppressed by the endless surge of anticipation.

He pursed his lips and tried to be careful with his words: "Your Six Eyes have collected a lot of information to deduce the 'weirdness' of this place. We must try our best to take root here first."

"At least we need to understand how this world works and find a way... to find her."

Of course, Gojo Satoru could understand the hidden meaning in the other person's words, but he was still angry at his 'little friend's' behavior.

He sneered at first, and then said bluntly: "Why are you looking for her? Do you want to kill her again?"

Feeling that he had done something wrong, Xia Youjie lowered his eyes and whispered, "I will apologize to her, and you...what are you doing here to accuse me?"

"A pursuer? Or a mistress?"

Gojo Satoru choked, his expression changed from cold to sour: "Anyway, she doesn't like you anymore, so you have no right to control my status."

Xia Yujie immediately came up with an idea and curved his eyebrows: "That means she hasn't agreed to your pursuit yet. It seems that you are not surprised that she is not a magician."

"Whatever agreement she made with you, it no longer counts."

At this point, he paused with a half-smile, "Before she 'left', she cast a spell on me. Now that I think about it... it should be the Huai family's unique 'blessing'."

"So, she must like me."

The repeated provocations and even beatings made Gojo Satoru's face change. The stinging jealousy prompted him to grab the other's collar: "Oh? Are you sure?"

"That's because you don't know her. Liang-chan won't fall in love with someone who tries to take her life again. You're too greedy, Jie."

Gojo Satoru cleared his throat and then folded his arms.

Soon he found his rhythm again: "I know you regret it, and you are glad that you can have another chance, but these are all based on the premise that Liangjiang is still alive and well on this planet."

"Although I don't know why you were so crazy that you killed her--"

“Because I love you so much.”

Xia Youjie raised his head: "I even thought that if I had the ability to curse her into a cursed spirit, I could always carry her with me. Don't you have a feeling that no matter what, I can't keep her?"

Gojo Satoru stroked his chin and said, "I have suspected this for a long time. She has been doing things in a mysterious way before, such as cleaning up the Banking Sect, developing communicators and curse tools, and hunting down Matsushita Kazuya, a middle-level executive of the General Manager's Department... What is the purpose of this?"

"After all, her actions can greatly increase the survival rate of sorcerers, and can also undermine the ruling position of the General Directorate and break the balance of major forces in the sorcery world."

At this point, Gojo Satoru couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips: "It's exactly in line with my ideas and 'interests'."

"But, you, a righteous guy, wouldn't you really believe the General Directorate's claims about her 'stealing the prison gate' and 'torturing and killing sorcerers to use their bodies as tools for spells'?"

Xia Youjie shook his head, an indescribable feeling of frustration hit his heart: "Although being fooled and used is not a happy thing, and I also doubted whether she had never loved me, but more importantly-"

He seemed to have difficulty speaking, and after a few breaths, he continued, "I want to kill all non-magicians. Perhaps this way I can avoid watching my companions get injured and die one by one. Perhaps only in this way can I avoid being manipulated."

"In order to make this point clear, I chose to start with the person I love the most, in order to cut off my retreat."

Gojo Satoru's pupils gradually dilated, and it took him a long while to digest the meaning of the other party's words.

The palms hanging at the sides loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again: "I really want to open your skull and see if it is empty inside."

"Are you crazy? Didn't I invite you to join me in changing the corrupt world of spellcraft?"

He paced twice in a rage, his clever brain connecting almost everything together: "No wonder Liangjiang has been asking me to observe your spirit and emotions more these days--"

It seemed that I remembered that most of the enormous pressure that my friend was under was caused by me.

Including but not limited to the act of stealing the other person's beloved, he can't get too angry, but he feels aggrieved when he suppresses his anger.

"There must be a conspirator behind this. Haven't you noticed that the endless stream of things that have happened in recent months are always targeting you?"

In the end, he chose to "shift the blame": "Continuously let your close comrades around you, such as Haibara and Nanami, receive missions with incorrect ratings and that they cannot handle."

"I always send you away to do endless high-level cursed tasks that require you to swallow the cursed jade, and even deliberately induce you to meet Jiujiu Yuki."

Gojo Satoru swallowed his saliva: "Graybara told me that he met a strange senior and repeated what he said to you. However, it just happened that—"

"I will immediately arrange for you to go to the small mountain village to face Nanako and Mimiko directly. This is a task where the 'little sorcerer' is persecuted by ordinary people."

"If I hadn't been there that day... would you have gone on a killing spree?"

Xia Youjie smiled dejectedly: "Yeah, am I stupid?"

"Someone else has been texting me about Liangjiang's unfathomable 'other side' and that... my best friend is secretly getting involved with the person I love the most."

"cough."

Even a thick-skinned person like Gojo Satoru looked uneasy for a moment: "You two are not married. Besides, if she really likes you that much, she would reject me harshly."

Xia Youjie felt a surge of anger in his chest again: "Oh, then I have to thank you for volunteering to be the 'touchstone' of my and Liangjiang's love?"

"Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now, let's first figure out what's going on here."
