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

Huailiang has been getting anxious lately, not because he is worried about the system not being active for a long time, but because he doesn't know how turbulent and bizarre the situation in the world of spells has become.

In fact, she quite enjoyed such a free and easy life, provided that the two guys, Black Hair and White Hair, didn't make trouble for her every day.

Including but not limited to asking her to move in with them on the grounds of "what if the system comes back and teleports you back, leaving us behind?"

Although Huai Liang had thought about pointing out that there was something wrong with the logic of this statement, they were not together 24 hours a day. If the assumption was successful, those two guys would still be left behind.

But considering how thick-skinned Gojo Satoru is, he could definitely suggest a 'full-day bond' with her.

These days, she continues to hone her skills in the machining shop as usual.

At the same time, he did not forget to improve the precision of controlling his mental power by practicing "black medicine" and make some extra money at the same time.

"Hey, why are you stunned again?"

Gojo Satoru was half lying on the sunken sofa on the rooftop terrace, the sunlight sparsely falling on him through the "sunroom" made of unknown material on the top.

He stretched out like a cat that had just woken up in the sun.

"I'm so tired from dealing with those endless sentinels. Please help me to calm down~"

The drawn-out tone also sounds lazy.

Gojo Satoru leaned comfortably against the sofa, his long straight legs stretched out in front of him. "It's just a soba recipe. Is it necessary to make such a fuss about it?"

Huailiang didn't move, but followed the other party's words and asked: "The noodle shop is closed, didn't someone contact you to buy the recipe?"

"correct."

Gojo Satoru nodded, then puffed his lips in anger: "We talked fine, and when we met, he acted so arrogantly. Now he changed his mind and gave us a bargain. He even hinted at how powerful his family is in the capital—"

"It's almost like saying, 'Just take the money and leave, don't be ungrateful.'"

Huai Liang understood immediately. The eldest young master of the Gojo family had never suffered such humiliation. Even though Geto Xiayou looked gentle on the outside, he was not someone to be trifled with at heart.

"So I understand that after the deal was not concluded, the other party wanted to rob the other party directly?"

Huailiang frowned, "I was wondering why you two have been going out so frequently recently. Every time you come back you look exhausted."

Gojo Satoru wanted to say, "There's nothing to be tired about," but he was afraid of losing the benefit of "spiritual counseling."

He pursed his lips, but didn't say how serious the situation was. "They are just some small fry, but there are more of them, and they use a mental attack system that I am not familiar with-"

"By the way, did you notice anything wrong?"

Huai Liang nodded. Through several rounds of spiritual counseling, she did discover changes in Gojo Satoru's spiritual realm.

As early as the first week, she tried to provide spiritual counseling to Gojo Satoru, who was continuously performing unlimited magic for 24 hours in order to protect Tenriko.

It was also through that time that she successfully entered Gojo Satoru's spiritual realm.

In that vast and silent space like the moon, the only living thing was a six-eyed cat, except for a huge, spinning eyeball hanging in the sky.

In the second round, while escorting Tenriko to Hongxing Palace, the opponent was intercepted and killed by an ice sorcerer.

In order to repair his injuries, she had to try to enter his spiritual realm again.

"Be quiet and don't move."

Huailiang stretched out his hand, and the slender, white spiritual thread easily climbed up to the side of Gojo Satoru's head.

This time, she found another living creature in that silent space—

A green plant that has just sprouted and its species cannot be identified.

In the present day of the other world, after she entered Gojo Satoru's spiritual realm again, she found that many flowers and plants had grown in that dead space like the surface of the moon.

The six-eyed cat also became much stronger. Could it be a mutation caused by the disorder of time and space?

At least, in her past understanding, Gojo Satoru's spiritual realm at this moment is more like the vibrant spiritual realm of a normal 'guide'.

According to what she saw in the first act, Gojo Satoru's barren spiritual realm was generally a dead space that only Sentinels on the verge of mental breakdown would have.

This world also has sentinels and guides. Could it be that... he is gradually being assimilated?

Coming back to his senses from the increasingly lush space, Huai Liang withdrew the thread of mental power and frowned: "You can still use the cursed power, right?"

Gojo Satoru collapsed into a pile of limp cat cake, his handsome face full of satisfaction.

Having discarded his initial shame, he has gradually adapted to the pleasure brought by 'spiritual counseling', but it seems... this feeling is becoming weaker and weaker?

"Well, it has recovered about 50% now, right? If that damn consortium sends more people over, it should recover even faster."

Huai Liang's expression was startled. As expected, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's cursed power could be continuously restored during the battle.

Just like when she first landed on Blue Star in the first round and lost her proud mental power, she could only gradually regain it through the passage of time and continuous fighting.

In the second round, she was able to gradually use weak spiritual power, which was basically drawn from Huai's blood seal, not from herself.

This can also explain why Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru have not yet developed spiritual power.

But...if they stay a little longer, maybe the two of them will gradually master their mental power?

Huai Liang was a little undecided as to whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Well... I think we should find a way to get back as soon as possible."

Gojo Satoru saw that the other party didn't seem to be joking, and his face immediately became serious: "What? Is the problem serious?"

Huai Liang hesitated and said, "I think you may be being assimilated by this world."

"Although Jie has never asked me for spiritual counseling, at least the development trend of your spiritual realm is infinitely moving closer to the sentinels here."

Gojo Satoru thought about it and asked seriously, "Will there be any negative effects?"

"I am not very sure."

Huailiang was unable to explain the changes in Gojo Satoru's spiritual realm that she had seen in the first and second rounds, so she could only focus on the matter of 'assimilation'.

"At least for now, your cursed power has not degraded, but you haven't generated any new spiritual power either, but——"

Huailiang thought about the wording and hesitated, "Do you know 'combination heat'?"

The rising red glow followed Gojo Satoru's neck and climbed up little by little to his earlobe.

He stretched out one arm in front of his eyes, covering most of his face, and said, "The sun is a bit hot."

After a pause, he deliberately raised his voice to make himself sound more confident, "I know. After just one week here, Jay and I have already figured out the social situation here."

"Oh, generally speaking, guides and sentinels reach adulthood when they are fifteen, and they will experience the first wave of 'combination fever' within the next one to three years."

Huailiang continued in a steady voice like an emotionless science popularization machine: "Only the guide can calm the emotions of the sentinels who become particularly irritable and destructive during the hot period of the conjunction. In layman's terms, they will be forced into the 'estrus period'."

"Once combined, they are bound together exclusively, unless one of them dies."

She made no secret of her disdain for this situation, even using the term "estrus". "There are also Sentinels and Guides that develop more slowly, but they will all enter their first mating heat before the age of 20."

Except for herself.

Huailiang is the only guide in his hometown's hundreds of years of history who has never suffered from a combination fever.

Even when she was 25 years old before her death, she had never had that kind of mysterious feeling, so there is no need to mention this point.

At this point, Huai Liang revealed a gloating expression: "I remember that you are almost eighteen years old, right? So, if you don't want to be transformed into a sentinel who is forced into estrus -"

"Just pray quickly, hoping that the system will come back soon and that the process of your assimilation will be slower."

Gojo Satoru no longer cared about being embarrassed or angry at this moment. He seemed to be in some strange mood, thinking about something by himself, and did not respond.

After a while, he suddenly said: "If that's the case, can Liangjiang... help me?"
