My brothers have big problems

After finishing the phone call with Knotabagi Yuhito, Asakawa Chen followed the address he reported and walked into this well-known coffee chain store, waiting for Nanami Jianren's arrival.

Until a man with glasses and yellow hair, who seemed to be an elite office worker, sat in front of him with a cat box and began to order.

"Give me a cup of Americano coffee, please. Do you need anything, Ah Chen? You're welcome. I'll treat you to dinner."

Asakawa Chen blinked his eyes, but he didn't recognize anyone.

"Then give me a caramel macchiato, who are you?"

"It's Qihaijian, long time no see."

"Liar! You look much older than Brother Wutiao! Besides, you look like an office worker, right?"

"It's a former office worker. Also, please don't compare me with Mr. Gojo. It's been 12 years, and my changes are the most normal."

is that so?But Qihai looks more haggard and older than imagined?

Does it happen after 25?

"It's not easy to grow up. But if you trust me so much, it really doesn't matter if you come alone?" Asakawa Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to wipe his neck.

After thanking the waiter for the coffee, Jianren Qihai blew on it lightly, took two sips of coffee and said, "It's no big deal, do you think I'm going to guide Youren Knotabagi without knowing what it is? As for you, don't you Have you set a curse with Mr. Gojo?"

Curse, as a person who often deals with words and contracts, it is impossible not to know what he can do.Asakawa Chen took a sip of the caramel on the top of the coffee, said with a spoon in his mouth, "It's quite bold to be different from what I imagined, I thought Qi Haihai was a cautious school."

"Why do you even start calling me that? How can I say that I am also one of your seniors?"

"That's only one year older than me! And I like the name Qi Haihai!"

"Well, the name is up to you. I'm not being bold, but relying on Mr. Gojo's judgment."

Brother Wujo's ability to judge?Asakawa Chen put a question mark in his heart: "He even believes that I am schizophrenic, and still wants me to talk to him."

"He told me, and that's one of the reasons why I met you here."

You don't think so, do you?Asakawa Chen looked at him in shock, racking his brains to figure out how a normal mantra could prove that he was not "cracked".

But think about the three normal people who were sent to the hospital by the driver as patients in the philosophical story. It seems that they failed to prove success, so they gave up the explanation.Thanks to Qihai Jianren's thinking is much more mature than Gojo Satoru, he will definitely use his own eyes to judge.

"Forget it... Did Brother Wutiao say that although he is very good at talking with people, but he can't do anything after being treated coldly by the other party. So he asked you?"

"Don't worry, I don't care about your condition. I just have something else to tell you." While preparing to open the briefcase, Jianren Qihai reminded softly: "Although I have confirmed it before, it is still up to you Search again, there are no eyes and ears of conjurers around here, right?"

"Don't worry, the little tricks of eavesdropping and spying cannot hide from my eyes. There are only cameras built in the coffee shop. They are always connected to the Internet to upload information, and I can do it anytime I want."

"That's good. Although I hate the behavior of the upper echelon, I will basically follow the rules. It has nothing to do with Mr. Gojo if they want me to monitor you, but the method is up to me. So I came to monitor you at close range."

As Qihai Jianren said, he printed an instruction and pushed it in front of him, and Asakawa Chen glanced at it.

This confidential record is written about the time when he, Gojo Satoru and his students first met.

Brother Wutiao proposed to entrust him with the task of eradicating himself.

But because of Jie Ge's relationship, the magic world seems to take it very seriously, and even doubted Wu Tiao's attitude.

Qihai was also sent to monitor the two of them.

If Wutiao brother is found to have any abnormal behavior, he will be regarded as a curse master immediately and sentenced to death.

It's not that the people above have doubts about Gojo Satoru's position at all.Asakawa Chen tapped the document in his hand with a smile, and finally burned it to ashes with a small fire escape.

And at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the store on a large scale.

It wasn't because of the fire he lit, but because the man who lowered the brim of his hat suddenly got up, grabbed the little boy sitting opposite him, and took out a fruit knife and pressed it against his throat.

"Koichi! Let go of Koichi! I'll take him as a hostage!"

The mother yelled in horror, but the robber threw the black bag on the counter regardless.

"Don't move, don't bark! The cashier quickly put all the money in this bag, and you also hand over your own money. If you dare to hide it, I will kill the boy."

The entire quiet and comfortable atmosphere of the coffee shop has changed, but Asakawa Chen doesn't care about the surrounding environment at all.Still calmly drinking the coffee in his hand: "It seems that you in the magic world are also very helpless towards Brother Wutiao, and unexpectedly made such a bad plan. Obviously without him, it will be very difficult for you."

"I don't believe anyone can deal with him. This is a threat."

Jianren Qihai: "Yes, it's a threat. But I decided to tell you first, because Mr. Wujo is more likely to get angry and clean up to the upper level. He has endured those people for a long time, and this time it may have touched his bottom line."

Asakawa Chen lightly shrugged: "After all, it is the conjuration world that wants to use all kinds of dirty tricks that exist in society, and I might want to do the same thing."

It is impossible for Wutiao brother to be killed by any magician, but the magic world can threaten the lives of his family, students, and friends.Even if he was from the Yusan family, it was impossible for him to withstand the pressure from the entire conjuration world.

"Before dealing with the magic spirit, the magician has to fight against the ugly side of human nature... You have worked hard enough."

Asakawa Chen sneered twice, attracting the robber's attention, and led the boy towards them.

"Hey, what have you been talking about here? Are you blind or deaf? Didn't you see the knife in my hand? Hand over your belongings!"

Neither of them raised their heads to look at the robber, Jianren Qihai's glasses reflected the light, and he just said indifferently: "So I don't want you to act rashly."

"Although Qihaihai doesn't respect Gojo-ge, he still regards him as a trustworthy senior, so he came to be a lobbyist. But my relationship with that person has never been good." Asakawa chuckled.

"That's great, and I'm not trying to persuade you to have a good relationship with him."

Jianren Qihai thought, ever since I found out that you were going to enter the High School of Conjuration, I have been worried that you and Gojo Satoru would not be able to do good things together.And indeed it is.Hearing that Gojo Satoru made the students wear maid outfits with him, he was a little worried about the future of these new students.

"Don't worry, I can't get along with him. But I'm not a cold-blooded curse spirit. Knowing kindness and repaying it is my most basic principle. I will remember Wutiao's help."

Ignoring the perpetrators who glared at them angrily, Asakawa drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp.

Roughly feeling the humiliation, the bandit angrily turned his hostility towards the two of them, yelling obscenities and cursing loudly.Jianren Qihai looked into his eyes and sighed slightly in his heart: "My ability is not enough to stop you, I just hope you don't go too far."

"Don't worry, I'm very low-key. Even if I try to do something, I won't be noticed."

The moment the bandit turned fiercely towards Asakawa Chen, his body suddenly softened, his eyelids gradually sank, and he fell in the direction of Asakawa Chen.

Jianren Qihai quickly snatched the fruit knife from his hand, and the boy who found himself out of danger ran to his mother in panic.

But Asakawa Chen jumped over the table while the robber fell towards him, landed beside Qihai and grabbed his arm, pretending to be at a loss.

"Wow! Brother! He's so scary! Let's go!"

Qihai Jianren: "..."

You are the one who wants to scare people to death. Even if it's acting, he can't afford this brother.

Besides, they ignored the environment and chatted for so long, is this kind of acting really necessary?

"Be quiet for a while." Qihai Jianren squatted down calmly, and found that the robber had received an anesthetic injection in the back of the neck, looked at Xia Youchen suspiciously, took out his mobile phone and called the police.

In order not to get involved in the trouble of taking notes, Asakawa Chen immediately faded the illusion, so that ordinary people could no longer be aware of his existence, and walked to the park of the nearby hotel in leisure time, waiting for Qihai to escape from it.

However, Jianren Qihai escaped much faster than Asakawa Chen imagined.

He sat on the branch of a big tree and shook his legs: "It happened so quickly, I thought the recording time would be a little longer than expected."

Nanami Jianren: "This area is very close to Mihua Town, and it is a place with a lot of magic spirits. I often come here. Compared with these robbers and robberies, they are probably more focused on solving murder cases."

With Xia Youchen's ability, they probably wouldn't have to work so hard, but his ability shouldn't be abused like this.

"Is it true that you can resurrect others?"

As if touching a topic of interest, Asakawa Chen's tone changed accordingly, jokingly said: "Oh? Does anyone in Qihaihai want to be resurrected? Like Huiyuan or something like that?"

Jianren Qihai frowned slightly: "Can people who have passed so long be resurrected?"

"To be honest, I haven't tried it yet. As long as he is not burned to ashes, I can save him. Do I need to try?"

"No, it's too late."

Too late in many senses.

Jianren Qihai glanced at Asakawa Chen, but he just spread his hands in regret.

Although Hui Yuanxiong's performance during his lifetime was inconspicuous, his vitality has always infected the entire high school.

But his death has subtly changed many people.

For example, himself, and Xia Youjie who later became a curse master.

The chasing and playing children ran and screamed past them, and looked strangely at Jianren Qihai who was talking to the big tree.

The color of the sky is getting darker, and the darkness is like layer after layer of tulle covering the setting sun, making the summer wind also have a bit of coolness.

After a long silence, Qi Haijian raised his head and said, "You are much more indifferent than before. To be precise, you are indifferent to strangers. Leaving aside your attitude towards Mr. Gojo, you used to treat strangers more than you do. She is much more gentle now, is this also a change in character after becoming a curse spirit?"

After hearing this question, Asakawa Chen also seldom pondered for a moment, and then jumped off the treetop to answer the question: "When Qi Haihai was young, when he saw homeless people begging on the street, he would take out his pocket money. Do you give them money?"

Following his words, Jianren Qihai thought back for a moment.

"Yes."

Asakawa Chen stood in front of him and asked, "What about now?"

Jianren Qihai: "No, I didn't know it when I was a child. Those people are just enjoying the process of getting something for nothing. The real homeless people live in fixed tent houses in the park. Few people are willing to beg on the street, but rely on part-time jobs and life picking cans."

"My change is similar to this. I used to always think about being better for these people in need and thinking more about them. We are just a little luckier than him, with better relatives, friends, or lovers by our side …but I later found out that not everyone is worth helping.”

"Some people take other people's unconscious contribution for granted, and even break his bones and break his wings when that person can't do what he wants." Asakawa Chen put his hands on his chest and smiled wryly.

"I dare not say that I was the one who felt the most, but my heart was really torn apart by that feeling. Probably since then, I have discovered that 'gentleness' may be an ability, but this ability is about to be I'm mentally drained. So I'll leave that last bit to you guys."

Qihai Jianren was silent for a moment.

In fact, during the high school period, he was the same as Hui Yuanxiong.He admires Xia Youjie, who fights for non-conjurers, more than Wujo Wu, who acts recklessly.

So when Xia Youjie killed a villager and defected, he, the teacher, and even the entire magic circle were shocked.

When he saw Xia Youchen for the first time, he also secretly lingered in his heart that the two were not alike at all.

It was only now that he realized that the pair of brothers resembled each other very much.

They're all so considerate of others that...

"No, the only tenderness left, please keep it to yourself."

Asakawa Chen: "It's so strange, even if I'm already a curse spirit? Do you think so too?"

"Before you, I thought all curse spirits were shit. At the same time, I have never met any human-shaped curse spirit who would be so considerate of others. You are the first. I think this is quite scary, so this kind of The ability is still for you to use for yourself."

Asakawa Chen thought for a while, and agreed with Nanami Jianren's words.

You are right.What he did would make these conjurers forget that he was their enemy, and it would make it difficult for them to attack him.

"Going back to the previous topic, what do you think about your ability to resurrect others?"

Asakawa Chen turned his eyes away: "It's very convenient?"

To be precise, it should be so convenient that it makes him sick.

"It seems that you don't like this ability too much." Qihai accurately captured his micro-expression.

Life is a fragile thing, an accident can easily take it away.

People usually don't feel its value, only when they lose it.

It's like a glass that I've been using all the time. I just think it's commonplace every day. It's not until it is broken that I realize my heartache and realize that I like this glass.

But what if, like Xia Youchen, he has the ability to easily recover the "glass"?

The more he uses it, the easier it is to overlook the value of the "glass".

The worst situation he can think of is that this young man who has prayed and blessed many seniors he has never met will play with the lives of others at will one day in the future.

"It's getting late, let's talk while walking. Although I can't bring you back to Huiyuan, can I entrust you with one thing?"

Jianren Qihai checked his watch, then walked towards the street.

Asakawa Chen walked down the street with him unhurriedly.

"What do you think?"

"Achen, help me take care of this cat."

"……what?"

Regardless of Asakawa Chen's surprise, Jianren Qihai continued: "My neighbor is also on a business trip, and I am worried that no one will take care of it. Your brother mentioned before, do you take care of the stray cats nearby?"

"You said this..." In fact, Asakawa Chen is not a hidden cat control like Brother Ban. After falling in love with cats, he and Quan Nai will deliberately find Ninja Cat to sign the psychic scroll behind his back... Although this matter was finally rejected by Quan Na and he found out.

"I don't treat those stray cats as my pets. Cats are only semi-domesticated animals, and I only feed them because the residential area in this area is too old and rat-infested. It's more like an equal employment relationship with them Well, so I haven't even given them names."

Jianren Qihai was very surprised: "You didn't want to tame cats before?"

"Yes. To keep a pet is to be responsible for it wholeheartedly until it leaves us. We have to give it a name, take care of its food, clean up its feces, and take it to the doctor when it is sick... If One day they will be missing and I will be worried, and I will be sad when they die. I also have limited energy."

How to say it is the same as raising a child, Jianren Qihai suddenly had a wonderful sense of sight.

"You young people like to use the word "Tucao", so can I complain about you?"

"If you want to complain about others, you don't need to apply. Qihaihai?" Asakawa Chen smiled. It would be interesting to say that a mature office worker would speak ill of others so straightforwardly.

"I just thought you would be angry, so I took a vaccination in advance. To be honest, after I heard from Mr. Gojo that you want to control everyone's dreams, I think you are like a kid with a second disease. Now junior high school students will come up with something More interesting ideas."

Asakawa Chen waved his hand and smiled without hesitation: "It's okay, at least I'm only a second grader, arrogant and self-righteous. But it's one level lower than my brother's third grader's dream of killing all non-conjurers."

"Then why do you still want to tame people? Humans are not even half-domesticated animals."

"Really? Qi Haihai, look at these people with mobile phones on the street before talking? Could you leave the Internet when you were an office worker?" Asakawa Chen sneered, and his smile gradually deepened.

Jianren Qihai was speechless for a moment.

"This is something that people themselves invented, and it's not domestication."

Asakawa Chen shook his head: "Humans are the most advanced animals. At least on the current earth, there are no creatures that can domesticate us. What about the relationship between people? The Internet can quickly shorten the relationship between people, but at the same time, it is also a condition. reins."

"Taming others subtly, didn't someone do it before I took action? Qi Haihai is sure that what she has heard and seen, what we like and what we believe in are all based on our will Did you choose?"

Asakawa Chen gestured to his temple to shoot.

The reason why he knew this was because when Bai Lan ruled the world, he did so according to his brother's idea.

In fact, very few people are aware of this change.

"In this fast-paced information age that doesn't even have time to think carefully, who can be sure that their thoughts and opinions are not imposed by others? Humans are inherently lazy, and how many people are willing to truly think independently?"

"You mean, what you want to do..."

"Yeah, what I want to do, in fact, others have already done it. Even the curse spirit can't jump out of the human framework and knowledge, can't you come up with a method that you have never seen before? If you want to stop me, just go ahead." Come stop it."

Jianren Qihai stopped and took a deep breath. After all, he still underestimated Xia Youchen.

"Whose companion are you?"

"Isn't it good to ask me so directly? Are you sure I won't lie to you?"

"I'll judge for myself."

"How should I put it, I am a person who helps relatives but does not help, but this is also when I am sober."

Asakawa Chen walked up to him, stopped and turned to look at him.

The colorful neon lights hit him, but Jianren Qihai couldn't see his expression clearly.

"If one day I lose even the last of my humanity, please don't hesitate to treat me as an enemy."

After saying this, Asakawa Chen was taken aback for a moment, glanced at the message, and realized what he had forgotten.

He raised his head suddenly: "Oops, I forgot to unseal the dog volume."

"seal?"

"Yeah, in order to let Goujuan play idiom Solitaire with everyone this morning, I sealed his spell."

"You can even do this kind of thing..."

Fortunately, he only used this ability in these games, Qi Haijian was a little lucky. "It's already off-duty time. I will continue to search for a special magic spirit recently. I will leave it to you during this time."

"Just kidding! Do you really want to ask a curse spirit to take care of the cat?!" Asakawa Chen blew up the cat's hair before the cat.

"From the past, your malice was aimed at people and curse spirits, not at creatures weaker than you."

Jianren Qihai, who opened the cat box, handed the cat to him. Chen Asakawa lowered his head and took a look at it, only to see that this pure white rural cat raised its fur all over, stretched out its paws and growled at him.

"Look, it feels dangerous. Aren't you afraid that it will be frightened and bald by my side?"

Jianren Qihai held his chin and thought for a while: "The hair will grow back if it's bald, and if it doesn't work, I'll have to think of a way for you."

"Are you also the feces shovel officer of the cat master?!"

"I'm not qualified as a shit-shoveling officer, and I have to get rid of some curse spirits that are more dangerous than you, so it's up to you."

The moment Qihai Jianren put the cat into his arms, Asakawa Chen subconsciously cast an illusion on himself, so as not to make the cat look like it was floating in the air in the eyes of others.

But at this moment, Jianren Qihai did not join the crowd and gradually walked away.

Asakawa Chen looked at his back and roared: "Then don't give it to me! Did you hear me!"

"Believe it or not, I ate it?!"

I'm a dog pie now, after all, dogs don't betray people.Asakawa Chen thought dully, lifted Mao Mao's nape, and looked at his big golden eyes.

"Hey, your master doesn't want you anymore, do you have anything to say?"

The big white cat struggled twice in the air, leaving a scratch on his body.

Asakawa Chen carefully looked at the cat with the broken eye, feeling that he had been deceived.

How could this wild and weather-beaten appearance be a cat raised in Qi Haihai's house?

Why is he like a sick child, whose parents gave him a pet, trying to use it to heal his heart?

Asakawa Chen glanced at the rebellious cat again, but in the end he couldn't resist Jianren Qihai's kindness, so he sneered and decided to take it away.

"Heh, enough is enough, little cat, you can't beat me. You should be glad that my name is not Schrödinger."
