I survive in a high-risk world by writing essays

It's just this one time, obviously it's more than one time, right?

I thought to myself.

It is undeniable that when I heard this familiar voice and tone, I was subconsciously relieved like a habit.

After the tense nerves were relaxed a little bit, the mental exhaustion caused by this series of events made me want to take a break, and I couldn't control my body to wake up, so I indulged my consciousness and entered A state similar to sleep.

At this time, of course, I didn't know when I submitted the manuscript, and the matter of asking Nakago to edit it just in case had already begun to materialize.

I'm not so amazing, I can know what others are going to do a hundred steps ahead, but I also thought at that time, there is any way to cross the time limit as quickly as possible, before it has been adapted into anime and movies. When it comes to things, let "Human World" reach the point where it can produce curses as soon as possible.

After all, whether it is the extension on the x-axis of time or the y-axis of space, it takes a long time.

At this time, I naturally thought of what Gojo Satoru had said when he persuaded me to go to the high school of conjuration - the gimmick of consuming death's last work.

Of course, I don't need to do this. We just need to proceed step by step. When the research results of Hengyangdou come out, my "Human World" has probably been on sale for a while. As long as I ask Zhong Xiang to edit it Help me negotiate various copyrights as soon as possible, give up part of the proceeds to increase the speed of dissemination to other countries, and then the film can be produced in about two years.

There is plenty of time.

But when I went to Dragon Palace Island, someone came to my room to search for things, maybe someone will pay attention to my new book.

It was with this in mind that I added the phrase "if there is any important news about me when the release is approaching, I will release it in advance" to the editor of Zhongxiang when I submitted the manuscript.

Even if I want to consume myself, it must be consumed by myself, and I cannot give this opportunity to others.

Leaving aside the chaos outside.

This time, the remodeled people in Shinjuku were witnessed by so many people, there were so many casualties, and there were so many evidences such as images and photos. Before the news was blocked, the news had already spread on the Internet.

Not to mention that this news is also mixed with the news that the well-known novelist Kuroshio was assassinated and disappeared at the end of the day.

In this era when the older generation has gradually stopped writing, and the Mesozoic era has some faults, the horror novelist Kuroshio Doom in the new generation is actually the most concerned figure in this field.

It is because of her appearance that the genre of classical horror novels has been revitalized in the market occupied by various suspense and reasoning novels, and many young people who have joined this industry in recent years have also begun to write simple horror novels. .

It is precisely because of this layer of relationship that what happened in Shinjuku spread faster.

"Huihara, have you heard?" In a certain law firm, Shizuka Huihara had just arrived at the office to put down her things when she heard what her colleagues said.

"What?" Haibara Shizuka asked casually, not very interested.

"[Giant monster appeared in Shinjuku, well-known novelist disappeared in Shinjuku] News! Haven't you read the news?" A colleague dragged a chair and came over to show her the news, "Many people are asking what is the publishing house of this novelist?" Is it true, but the publishing house backhandedly posted a news that the novelist's new book will be sold in advance, and this operation is a bit too coquettish."

Shizuka Haihara read the news following her colleague's words, and frowned slightly.

giant monster...

Because of some family factors, as well as her elder brother who died young, she knew the magic world existed, so naturally she would not guess like the netizens on the Internet what kind of experimental product that monster was, or that the monster in the special film was transmigrated into reality.

Although I don't know why the giant monster can be seen by ordinary people, and it can also be photographed by the shooting facility, in short, it should be related to the curse.

But these have nothing to do with her.

"What's the name of the new book?" Shizuka Huihara turned her eyes away to concentrate on her work, and asked casually.

"Let me see, it's called "Human World". Although I'm not interested in horror novels, I'm a little curious about the content of this novel because of the strange operation of that publishing house..."

Colleagues talking to themselves.

Just buy it and have a look.Shizuka Haihara thought so too.

I don't know how long time has passed, but when I regained consciousness again, I found myself in a place that was not completely unfamiliar.

The reason why I say it is not completely unfamiliar is because this place is the one I went to when I saw Xia You in my dream.

Courtyard, Japanese room, and Japanese-style corridor.

After I looked at the place I was in calmly, I didn't move much. The first person I saw after waking up was the person named Xia You who I saw with Xia You when I was in Dragon Palace Island. Michiko's woman, there was no one else around.

"Don't get up and walk around casually, the toxin on your wound has just been removed." Just as I lifted the thin quilt covering my body, Michiko who was sitting by the door said, without looking at me when she spoke , but focused on the needle thread in his hand, as if he was sewing something.

I paused, and touched the abdominal wound, and sure enough, I touched the neatly wrapped bandage.

"What's the name?" I asked aloud. When I spoke, I felt my throat was a little dry. I raised my hand and pressed my throat. When I looked up, I saw that there was water on the table not far from the tatami.

So it seems that the treatment is not bad?

"Michiko Sugawara." The other party replied.

"I'm sorry to bother you." I touched the bandage around my waist and thanked me.

"Master Xia You brought you back." Michiko Sugawara said, and finally raised her eyes from the things in her hands, and looked at me with some doubts, her eyes were not sharp, "Although it is just a non-curse Teacher, but Mimiko and Nanako said that you helped Lord Xia You when he lost his memory, so we want to thank you."

Her attitude is not quite what I imagined, but she is quite reasonable?

Originally, in my prediction, Xiayou's goal was to eliminate non-magicians. I guess the people gathered under his idea should be more world-weary and extremely hate non-magicians.But from Michiko Sugawara's attitude, I didn't feel particularly obvious rejection or disgust.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt dizzy, probably due to the sequelae of excessive blood loss or something.

I stopped talking and sighed in my heart.

I don't know what's going on with Ryoko and the others now. If Ryoko finds out that I'm missing, she might run away... and Xiao Zhihua, who was taken away by the doctor, doesn't know what happened.

According to my guess, the person who cooperated with the doctor should not be Xia You, so the curse of operating under the ground should take me somewhere else. How I hit Xia You in the middle is also a strange point. .

Also, if I asked the editor of Nakago when I submitted the manuscript, I don’t know if it will be used in this situation. The big movement in Shinjuku and the reformer who can be seen by everyone should not be hidden.

I pressed my eyebrows and closed my eyes thinking about these messy things.

After a while, I heard Michiko Sugawara's footsteps leaving and looked up.

There was no one outside the door.

After thinking about it, I stood up from the tatami mat, walked to the door, and before I stepped out, I saw the one placed in the corridor, which was where Xia You sat in the previous dream—a The mat, on the mat rests a brain.

Even I didn't expect that this scene was the first thing I saw after I came here.

The clarity of the picture is no less than the scene where the general spit out the ugly treasure, and then spit out a brain in the ugly treasure.

"..."

I paused for a moment, then looked up, and saw the black-haired meatball-headed corpses hanging on the clothes rack in the courtyard, and the corpses were still dripping water.

This overly routine scene instantly dilutes the serious atmosphere and tense mood a lot.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, Xia You." I first took a step at a normal pace, and when I felt that my abdomen hurt a little, I walked over in a small step, and then walked over to the cushion where my brain was placed. Standing still, he leaned against the pillar for a while.

Thinking of what Xia You said before I lost consciousness, my mood was somewhat complicated.

What surprised me was not where he appeared to save me, but his goal was to kill all non-conjurers and create a world with only conjurers, but am I also a non-conjurer?

The so-called I saved him once, and he paid me back once, sounds like an excuse.

I already know his past, and the more I do, the more I can notice his negative struggles.

"How's the situation outside?" I didn't say anything on this topic, but paused to ask the question I'm most concerned about right now.

[Your phone is under the mat, see for yourself. ]

I reached under the cushion where Xia You's brain was placed and touched it, and I actually touched my own mobile phone.

I didn't expect that my mobile phone is still strong, so it can still be used even if it is not broken.

As soon as I turned on the phone, a lot of news jumped out of it.

Not surprisingly, all I saw in this pile of news were reports related to Shinjuku, but unexpectedly, I found that my name also appeared on it.

What I saw after I clicked was the report that I was assassinated and disappeared in Shinjuku.

"So that's how it is..." After reading the news, I understood. I slid through the various comments below, without even moving my brows, and I already had a measure in my heart.

Although the person who cooperated with the doctor was using me as a springboard, and wanted to use the news of my disappearance or death to bring about a curse, but this situation is also an excellent opportunity for Gojo Satoru and I's plan.

Remember, our plan from the beginning was to find a way to expose the existence of the magic world and curses to the public. From this perspective, this person's purpose is the same as ours.

While I was thinking silently, Xia You said, [Now that you are awake, leave early, I have already paid you back once, and I will not show mercy when we meet again next time. ]

"That, Xia You, I didn't say that, you seem to be out of step with us..."

"What's the matter with you?" I wondered, "Didn't you still ask me if I want to go to your side? Look at the current chaotic situation, don't you want to do something? Take advantage of the chaos , although I do not agree with your ideals, but if I were you, I would take the opportunity to stir up trouble and muddy the already muddy water."

As a result, I was disconnected as if I didn't intend to do anything, so I'm ashamed to say that I have no ambition?

[...you are teaching me how to do things? ] Xia You couldn't see anything in his mind, but he heard the voice as if he was becoming angry from embarrassment.

Well.

I suddenly had a bold idea.

"By the way, you should have noticed the movements in the magic world, aren't you curious about what we are doing?" I asked.

[Solved high-level?It was the right decision, long overdue. ]

[Other than that, making something in the dark...? ]

[...]

"Guess it?" I tilted my head, and my lips curled into a rare arrogant smile, "We are trying to create a curse that can be eliminated even by non-conjurers, and conjurers can freely choose whether to become a person who protects others or not." People and children with the talent of conjurers can grow up like ordinary children and work hard. Curses cannot be completely eliminated, but society can be changed.”

"Do you think ordinary people are weak, and only relying on the strong can they live ignorantly? I don't deny your opinion, but please remember that not all the weak want to live ignorantly, ah, how do you say that Come on? Life will find its own way out."

"If I remember correctly, the last sentence is from "Jurassic Park". I don't know if you have seen it." I added.

After I said this, I wanted to say, "If you can't see the way forward on this path, why don't you try to follow my path", but after a pause, I still didn't say that. Speak up.

It doesn't matter if I ask or not, the important thing is whether he has an idea.
