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

The night view of Lan Ying City was very different from the downtown Tokyo in her memory.

There are also thousands of lights and dazzling neon lights, and the high-rise buildings here are lined up one after another, any one of which can be hundreds of stories high.

There are also countless suspended trains and aircraft shuttling through the night sky, leaving bright trails of light across the sky.

"Let me guess, do you want to apologize to me on purpose?"

There is also a small open-air garden on the roof of the apartment building. Under the temperature-controlled 'glass' rainproof device layer, there is even a sunken open-air barbecue area.

Huailiang leaned back into the curved sofa and said, "If it's for this, I don't think there's anything to say."

Xia Youjie's expression suddenly turned ugly: "You can refuse to accept it, but this is what I have to do——"

"Maybe you understand it wrongly, Jay."

Huailiang lit a cigarette lazily, "I was confused and resentful for a while, but after coming here, I had a rare period of peace, and I figured out a lot of things."

She is not a heavy smoker or drinker, and rarely shows strong dependence on any addictive substance.

But at this moment she had to admit that her reunion with Geto Suguru was far beyond her expectations.

This forced her to find something else to release her emotions——

Especially if you talk 'openly' about your last failed relationship.

"Now I know the complicated reasons why you decided to 'kill me'. I don't deny that it was partly my own fault."

Xia Youjie frowned and interrupted the other person anxiously: "No, it's not like that. I am too conceited and inferior, and I was blinded by the emotions in front of me——"

"Listen to me first."

Huailiang exhaled a puff of smoke with a hint of helplessness, "I'm not here to have a 'self-criticism meeting' with you."

She looked at the other person, who was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and a secret sense of joy rose from the bottom of her heart.

It seems that in addition to being able to easily manipulate the other person's emotions, he can even control his life and death.

But what good would it be for her to take his life?

"Strictly speaking, I did deceive you a lot, but I have to admit that I wasn't just playing with your feelings."

At this point, Huailiang reached out and gently pressed the left side of his chest. "The pain was real at that time, and there was also a lot of disbelief in it."

The antonym of love should be "indifference", but she couldn't ignore Geto Suguru.

"If we have to talk about fairness, there is no way to equate 'giving you back your life' with 'causing you emotional harm'."

Huai Liang pursed his lips, his long eyelashes slightly lifted, "Perhaps I need to experience the same pain as you, being deceived, fooled, and deliberately abandoned - only then can it be considered 'fair' to you."

"But I'm sorry, I've never had such intense emotions in my life, so I probably won't be able to do this."

At this point, she paused and continued, "And my 'fairness'...killing you? There's no point in saying this now."

Xia Youjie took a deep breath, his crimson eyes flashing: "So, you mean, everything in the past doesn't count?"

"Ah, you can understand it that way."

Huailiang felt the pungent smell of tobacco flowing through his lungs and respiratory system, and felt a sense of lightness. "Isn't it a good thing for you that I don't resent your 'brutal killing'?"

"You came to talk to me today, isn't it because you want me to let bygones be bygones and forgive you?"

Another important factor was that she remembered that before she lost blood and fell unconscious, the system reported that Geto Suguru's favorability towards her had reached 100.

And it was clearly stated that when she was in a near-death state, a "level one alert situation" occurred... probably referring to the situation where she was unable to choose the gift package on her own?

Therefore, the gift package with a favorability of 100 points for Geto Suguru was automatically distributed by the system as the 'gift' she needed most at the time.

What she needed most at that time, of course, was to stay alive.

If we infer this way, it was not the system that subjectively saved him who was about to die, but it was Geto Suguru who wanted to kill her, who "saved" her life because of his deep love.

There weren't many cases for her to analyze, and she had only gone through two weeks so far.

In the first act, the system automatically restarted in the infirmary of the Polytechnic Institute because the node transition of "major malicious incident" was not prevented.

At the end of the second week, a major bug appeared and they were stranded in another world.

This made it difficult for her to judge whether the cause of all this was the excessive impact of the death of the 'player', or whether it was really due to the overly powerful 'power of the curse' as Gojo Satoru speculated.

"But, but..."

Xia Youjie's lips moved several times, as if he was trying hard to think of the right words to turn the passive situation around.

He always knew that his sweetheart was very good at debate and had her own logic in doing things.

As she said, he should be happy about the other party's attitude of letting bygones be bygones, but he just couldn't be happy.

It was as if the strong and sticky love and hate that had once brewed in his heart were like insignificant trifles in the eyes of the other party, leaving no trace at all.

He asked himself honestly, he definitely didn't have the ability to detach himself from his emotions as quickly as the other person.

From his point of view, there is only one possibility, that is, the other party has never loved him seriously and deeply.

"But what?"

Facing the tangible pain that Xia Youjie felt, Huai Liang tilted his head and extinguished his cigarette butt. "I don't bother to hide it. Since you have given an explanation and your so-called 'reason', I will speak frankly."

His slender knuckles tapped the tabletop in a rhythmic pattern: "We're done."

Sitting on the other side of the sunken sofa, Xia Youjie covered his face in pain: "Is this a punishment?"

"If the 'past' is over, can I still strive for a new 'beginning'?"

Huailiang shrugged and said very frankly: "I don't know."

"I just want to enjoy this free time as long as possible before the 'system' comes back, even if it only lasts until tomorrow."

"And... even if we start over again, Jay, can you accept that I won't put you first?"

Huailiang added lightly: "I may never be able to meet your 'expectations', or to put it more rationally, I can't be your ideal 'other half'."

"I believe that a smart person should also possess the quality of knowing what's interesting, so... let's think about how to catch the mastermind after returning to Blue Star."

Huai Liang sighed: "This is what you should consider. My intuition tells me that the other party may be coming for you."

There was no good reason to bring up the scene she saw in the 'future scene'.

But Huailiang was very sure that she clearly saw the man with sutures on his head digging up Xia Youjie's grave.

Combined with what Gojo Satoru said, and the endless means secretly designed to target Geto Suguru, she can be sure that the target of the suture line, at least the temporary target, is Geto Suguru.

“Can I interpret this as caring?”

Geto Xiayou was like a drowning man, clinging to the last piece of driftwood and looking at the other party expectantly.

"If it makes you happy, then whatever you want."

Huai Liang pursed his lips, stood up and said goodbye, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, if you have anything, please contact me on the computer."

Xia Youjie did not stop him, but just responded quietly: "Got it."

"I will not give up."

After passing Geto Suguru, Huai Liang, feeling that he had solved a big problem, left the top-floor terrace with great ease. However, at the corner of the stairs going down, he unsurprisingly caught a glimpse of a hint of "blue".

"Does the corner sound good?"

Huailiang raised his eyebrows and looked at the tall figure leaning on the other side of the corner with a bad look, "I'm leaving."

Gojo Satoru stretched out his hand to stop him, a dark light flowing in his cobalt blue pupils.

Like a poisonous jellyfish lurking in the deep sea, wisps of "tentacles" float in the air in front of you.

"I also have something I want to say to you, Liang-chan."

The boy's hoarse voice, which was deliberately suppressed, slowly rang out, "Is summer over?"
