Shadow Mountain House in the middle of the night.
Kageyama Ritsu sat at the desk, closed his eyes, and held a good spoon in his hand, trying to recall the feeling at that time.
But until the forehead was soaked with sweat, the spoon remained unmoved, as before.
Kageyama Ritsu opened his eyes, weakly discouraged, and his hand on the desk was tightly clenched into a fist.
How can I use super powers...
At this time, it was close to ten o'clock, and there was a slight movement from the next room. Ritsu Kageyama knew even with his eyes closed that it was his brother who went out to fight for justice late at night.
Feeling powerless and complicated, Kageyama Ritsu took a deep breath, put the spoon back in the drawer, and lay on the bed looking at his hands.
Don't you really have that talent?
Kageyama Ritsu's eyes were fixed on the void, and he was gradually fascinated. What was more uncomfortable than despair was that Mingming just thought he had grasped hope, but it ended up in vain.
This sense of gap will drive people crazy.
The first time I used superpowers was because I did something like that...
Ritsu Kageyama's heart moved, and his thoughts gradually slipped into an indescribable abyss.
Thinking about dangerous things and having no time to take care of his surroundings, Ritsu Kageyama naturally missed the mobile phone on the desk that constantly reminded him of new information.
Until something suddenly sounded from the glass window, this sound suddenly awakened Kageyama Ritsu.
'Tuk-tuk--'
what sound?
Kageyama Ritsu looked at the window in bewilderment, approached hesitantly, lifted a corner of the curtain, and suddenly stopped his movements, wait, what if it is someone with evil intentions.
'buzz—'
The mobile phone also vibrated at this time, Kageyama Ritsu's attention was attracted, he hesitated for a moment, first picked up the mobile phone, and found that the chat room with only two people refreshed a lot of information at some point.
Junior Star: Are you okay?There has been no reply for many days, please let me know if you are safe.
Little Jiangxing: Hey, I won't really do anything stupid.
Little Jiangxing: I'm here to find you, don't be impulsive.
Little Star: Look out the window
what?
Kageyama Ritsu was stunned for a moment, then came to the window again, opened the curtain and opened it outside.
A boy with reddish-brown hair in a baseball uniform stood at the door of his house, holding a mobile phone in one hand. The screen illuminated his immature and delicate face. He seemed to have noticed something and smiled at him.
The sky full of stars fell into his eyes.
Are you moved when a friend you met in the chat room suddenly appeared in front of you?
What a ghost!
Kageyama Ritsu subconsciously opened the window, and for a moment didn't know where to ask, and finally choked out: "Do you know what time it is?!"
"I know, I know, anyway, let me in first~" Suzuki said with a smile on his face, his footsteps touched the ground, his whole body floated like weightless, and stepped out of Kageyama Ritsu's window.
Kageyama Ritsu turned his body away to let him in, feeling a little unbelievable, and couldn't help asking: "Are you really a young general?"
Suzuki answered his doubts with practical actions - he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and typed a few kaomoji.
Kageyama Ritsu's computer screen
Little Star: (.ω.)y
Kageyama Ritsu relaxed, but still felt a little nonsense, almost making him unable to distinguish dream from reality, folded his arms around his chest with vacant eyes: "Why did you appear in front of me so suddenly? By the way, how did you know my home address?"
"Hey hey, because I'm worried about you~" Suzuki will not dare to say that because he has investigated him, he pointed his fingers guilty, "Ru you ignored me before, I was a little worried that you would go into a dead end or something, after all, I'll tell you the way, if something really happens, I will definitely feel extremely guilty."
Ritsu Kageyama reluctantly accepted this explanation: "Then how did you find..."
"Ahaha, now that we've finally met, feel free to ask me any questions you have about the use of super powers!" Suzuki will quickly change the subject.
Kageyama Ritsu "..." for a while, sighed, gave up the questioning, and squinted: "What time do you think it is, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Suzuki scratched his head in embarrassment: "Oh, oh, then I'm leaving?"
Well, to be honest, it was really a bit wrong for him to leave the door at that night regardless. It should be said that Suzuki will be released suddenly, out of the monitoring of his father's organization, and he is a little carried away.
"Wait," Kageyama Ritsu said suddenly, with a troubled look on his face, "How far is your home from here? You don't come all the way here, do you?"
Suzuki changed his expression: "Cough, my home is in Seasoning City, and I recently came to Tokyo for something. I'm staying at xx Hotel."
"..." Ritsu Kageyama calculated the distance, and confirmed that the late bus was gone, and said helplessly, "If you can't, you can spend the night in my room, it's getting late now."
"Not so good." Suzuki will be a little moved, mainly because he has never had the experience of staying at a friend's house.
"Okay, that's it, I'll get you a new quilt."
In the end, Suzuki managed to stay overnight, and the two of them lay on the bed and the other in the quilt on the floor, speechless for a while.
Ritsu Kageyama turned his back to Masao Suzuki, and suddenly said, "Thank you."
"what?"
"That's right, it's about coming here to see me." Ritsu Kageyama said vaguely, he didn't say anything, if it wasn't for opening the window and seeing that Suzuki would be at the door, if it wasn't for his news, then...
He might really be in the dark and do something irreversible in order to successfully use his powers.
"It's okay." Suzuki will look at the ceiling, "After all, you are my only friend."
"...Don't you have any friends?" Kageyama Ritsu was surprised, "I think you have a pretty good personality."
"Um, the main reason is that I haven't been back to school for a long time, and I've been in my dad's organization. There are basically adults there, and there is no common topic." Suzuki will sigh.
"...It's not easy for you either."
"Each each other."
There was another silence, and the two laughed out loud.
"Why does it feel like each of our families has a hard-to-recite scripture?"
"Yes," Suzuki turned over, "Go to sleep, I will teach you how to use your abilities tomorrow."
"OK, good night."
Heitian's dreamland soon fell. When Shigeo Kageyama next door came back from his rescue mission tonight, he didn't realize that there was already a strange superpower next door. He changed his clothes tiredly and lay down to sleep.
The little dimple seemed to notice it, but didn't say anything.
……
When Shigeo Kageyama woke up in a daze the next day, he happened to meet Ritsu Kageyama who was already packed and ready to go out.
"Brother, good morning."
"Good morning." Kageyama Shigeo held a towel, looking at his brother's long-lost bright smile in confusion, "Did Ritsu sleep well yesterday?"
"It's okay." Seeing Shigeo Kageyama, Ritsu Kageyama showed a faint smile, but he didn't intend to talk further, so he went downstairs quickly and went out.
Kageyama Shigeo blinked: "How do you feel, Ritsu is hiding something from me?"
Little dimples on his face: "Your brother, you are amazing."
Kageyama: "?"
Japan's semester system is different from China's. There are three semesters in total. The first semester starts in April. After more than three months of study, the summer vacation begins. The second semester starts at the end of August and ends in December. Winter vacation, the third semester is from early January to the end of March, and then spring vacation. (Note 4)
And now, it is the second semester vacation of Shigeo Kageyama in the first year of junior high school. This vacation is very short, about two weeks at most, and he will spend Christmas and Japanese New Year at home, so few people take this vacation Also go to training classes or something.
...well, probably.
As soon as Shigeo Kageyama went downstairs, he was caught by Kageyama's mother and father.
"Shigeru, your grades have finally improved. If you don't take advantage of this time to consolidate, you will spend several times more energy to catch up after the holiday!" Kageyama's mother persuaded.
Father Yingshan agreed: "That's right, it's very important to review the past and learn the new!"
Kageyama Shigeo had an ominous premonition: "I will work hard on my own."
"Your learning efficiency is too low by yourself. Your father and I thought about it, and we still need a tutor."
"...But I already have, uh..."
The existence of Mogami Sensei should not be exposed, and the other party is not here now.
"have what?"
"It's nothing."
"Okay, then let's continue. In fact, the teacher will come today~"
"……Eh?"
Before Shigeo Kageyama objected, the doorbell of Kageyama House rang, and Kageyama's mother hurried over to open the door for the teacher.
"So you just came to inform me?" Shigeo Kageyama couldn't believe it.
Kageyama's father coughed, avoiding Mofu's eyes: "Ahem, we are doing this for your own good. This teacher was introduced by the training class. Because it is a newly opened training class, the fee is very low. Anyway, you can try to get along with him." It’s only been two weeks since we got along with him.”
"I'm sorry." The teacher has already entered, and the first thing that catches the eye is a head of light-blond hair, wearing glasses, and a suit and leather shoes. He doesn't look like a teacher but like an elite in society.
"We met for the first time. I am a teacher sent by the xx training institution. I am from Qihai Jianren. Please give me more advice in the past two weeks."
Alarm bells were ringing in Xiaodiwo's heart, and he sneaked under Kageyama Shigeo's collar and reminded him in a low voice: "Be careful, Shigeo, this guy is a conjurer."
"Conjurer?" Shigeo Kageyama looked up at Jianren Nanami, meeting his gaze.
Kageyama's father was the first to say hello: "Hi, hello, this is our son, Kageyama Shigeo, Shigeo, please say hello to the teacher."
"Hello……"
After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Qi Hai went straight to the topic with a blank expression: "Then let's start studying from today, Kageyama-kun, please bring a pen and paper, and of course the final test paper, let's go to the self-study room outside to study." , Sometimes I can concentrate more in the outside world.”
"Huh? Aren't you at home?"
"Please don't worry, we have a special study room." Jianren Qihai said a lot with a professional face, and easily persuaded Yingshan's mother.
Xiao Diwo secretly raised his vigilance, and reminded Maofu in a low voice: "Better be careful, maybe he is here to trouble you."
Kageyama Shigeo was puzzled, and also lowered his voice: "Why do conjurers trouble me? Aren't they heroes who secretly bury curse spirits?"
"Er..." How did Xiao Diwo know, he actually saw a curse master the night before yesterday, or two curse masters were killed cleanly by Moshang. Kill Kageyama Shigeo, but there is no harm in being more or less vigilant.
"Anyway, he has come to your house and lied to your parents that he is a tutor. This is obviously a lie. Maybe there are scum among conjurers!" Xiao Dimple thought much deeper than Kageyama Shigeo. Never underestimate the lower limit of human beings.
What's more, Mogami handed Kageyama to him. If something happened to Kageyama before that man came back, he would be dead. It's better to be careful here.
Seeing Shigeo Kageyama's unkind expression, Xiao Dimple hurriedly said: "Wait, you can't do anything here, anyway, get out of here with him first, stay away."
So, Kageyama Shigeo walked out the door with Jianren Qihai holding his schoolbag in silence. Seeing that the surrounding roads were getting more and more deviated, he stopped with a frown and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Jianren Qihai also stopped, and the atmosphere between the two of them was a little frozen.
"Did Gojo Satoru not tell you?"
"……say what?"
Kageyama Shigeo looked confused.
Looking at his expression, Qihai understood everything, and at the same time hardened his fist: "That bastard... Forget it, anyway, let's go into the coffee shop and chat slowly."
Perhaps because the other party mentioned Mr. Gojo, Shigeo Kageyama relaxed his vigilance a little, followed Nanami to a store, and Nanami led him to sit in the innermost seat.
"So what's going on?"
Jianren Qihai: "Didn't Gojo Satoru tell you that I am the person sent by the magic world to protect you."
"Ah?" Shigeo Kageyama opened his mouth wide, "No... I haven't heard of it."
"That unreliable guy..." Five cute Q-faces flashed in Qihai's mind, and he explained with powerlessness in resentment, "In short, you have been targeted by the stunt magic group. It's up to me to protect you."
"Is it that serious?" Shigeo Kageyama murmured in bewilderment. He had never had the experience of being protected by others, and he had no awareness of being in a crisis.
"Those curse spirits have intelligence comparable to that of humans, and they probably don't have moral restraints not to do other things, such as kidnapping your parents, so it's better not to stay at home as much as possible these two weeks, Of course this is just my suggestion."
Jianren Qihai said indifferently: "But your vigilance is good." At least he didn't directly believe that he was really a teacher who came to make up lessons.
"Ah, that dimple reminded me." Kageyama Shigeo said.
"Small dimples?"
"Don't expose my existence so quickly!" Little Dimple felt helpless, and had no choice but to poke his head out of Shigeo Kageyama's collar.
Qihai Jianren's gaze sharpened: "Evil spirit? Is it entangled with you? No wonder I didn't notice his existence just now, so I turned my head slightly."
"Huh!? Wait," watching Qihai take out a long weapon wrapped in a cloth covered with strange spells from his briefcase, Kageyama Shigeo quickly explained, "Although the dimple is an evil spirit, it is not malicious. , and have not done anything bad, so..."
"Evil spirits are different from curse spirits, because they have intelligence similar to that of humans, and are good at seducing humans with words. With all due respect, I may have been deceived."
"I don't think so, please put away your weapons, and Wujo-sensei also knows the existence of dimples!"
Under the repeated protection of Shigeo Kageyama, Jianren Nanami still put away the weapon in his hand, and instead was full of resentment towards someone, because even the fact that the target was accompanied by evil spirits all the year round, someone a little bit Didn't even talk to him.
【What kind of person is he?Well, Nanami will know when he goes, don't worry, he is a good boy. 】
Which good boy will protect the evil spirit? !
Qihai silently recorded this point in a small notebook.
"In short, I will protect you for these two weeks. I will stay near you as much as possible. If there is anything wrong, please communicate with me as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll remember." Hearing that the consequences were so serious, Kageyama Shigeo also put away his thoughts of underestimating the curse spirit, and tried to look serious.
Jianren Qihai pushed his glasses, and under the reflection of the mirror, his eyes calmly appraised the boy in front of him.
At the beginning, he refused the job, and had no interest in being a babysitter, but Gojo Satoru's next words made him change his mind.
"Not protection, but surveillance? What's going on?"
"Qihai has also heard similar rumors recently, about the king of curse spirits."
"Isn't that a rumor?"
"Yes, but the old men above are worried. They would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. You understand. So I want you to be the guardian. If it's you, those old men will feel relieved to some extent."
...Indeed, unlike the students brought out by Gojo Satoru, Qihai Jianren is close to the Wujo faction in the world of magic, but he pays more attention to order and rules. Of course, what is more important is that his strength ranks first even in the world of magic Number.
However, apart from the task of monitoring, it is more of a deterrent and protective function. With him to monitor, the higher-ups have no reason to hire a curse master. It is also a fact that Shigeo Kageyama was targeted by a super-level curse spirit.
So he came.
Jianren Nanami silently observed Shigeo Kageyama. At present, there are indeed doubts.
But since it was protection, why did Gojo Satoru specifically tell him not to tell Kageyama about the higher-ups?It's best not to even talk about the rumor, the person involved is entitled to know about it.
"Well, since you are not a tutor, what are we going to do?" Kageyama Shigeo asked cautiously.
From his own world, Jianren Qihai pushed his glasses and asked calmly: "Although I am here to protect you, after graduating from a high school, I gave up being a magician and went to an ordinary university, so This level of tutoring is still achievable.”
The subtext is, or to learn.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Shigeo Kageyama's eyes after hearing this, and he hesitated to speak.
"Or do you have a better suggestion? If you have something, just say it directly. I'm not a pervert either."
"Yes... um, is there no way for us to take the initiative?" Shigeo Kageyama asked anxiously, "I want to get rid of that super magic group as soon as possible."
Jianren Qihai was a little surprised, and quickly regained his composure, "There are at least three special-level monsters in the Mantra Group, and it is not the best policy to take the initiative to attack. I can understand your uneasiness and passive anxiety, but please also consider the difference between the enemy and us. Even if the magic world can support in time, it may not be able to support until then."
"It's not like that... I don't want Mr. Nanami to take risks! It's not because of personal uneasiness and anxiety." Shigeo Kageyama lowered his head, holding the cup in both hands.
"I don't want to let them kill other people anymore. Last time I obviously had a chance to kill those curse spirits, but I hesitated." Kageyama Maofu looked down at his reflection in the ice water, "Not only It is because of the hesitation that the people around may be affected, but the hesitation of whether those curse spirits should really be eradicated."
When the real people narrated their ideas, Shigeo Kageyama thought of the evil spirits he had encountered in the spiritual world who wanted revenge, and he hesitated.
In the past, he never hesitated to destroy evil spirits, but since then, he has doubted his own conception.
If evil spirits have the same thinking and even emotions as human beings, then what is the difference between them and human beings? The curse spirit called Dazheng even claims that they are new human beings. Is eradicating them really different from killing a human being?
Thinking of this, Shigeo Kageyama would feel trembling for his past actions.
This must be a fear that only the self who can see the two worlds can feel.
"It's better not to think too deeply. As far as the result is concerned, pulling it out should be the best option, right?" Jianren Qihai said after being silent for a while.
It was only then that Kageyama realized that he had spoken out what he was thinking at some point, perhaps because Mr. Qihai was a bit like a master, and he wanted to get guidance from him unconsciously.
"Yes, it turned out that I was wrong. I should have pulled it out without hesitation at the time, so I wanted to make up for my mistake as soon as possible and pull it out."
"But... I will not give up thinking." Yingshan said slowly but firmly, "Being able to see two worlds, this talent must not only be used for killing. I don't want to be the one being used, should I? Pull out, I want to have my own judgment, not be a knife in someone else's hand."
"Also, there are evil spirits like Little Dimple who can't do evil in this world, so maybe there are also curse spirits that are harmless to humans."
"Maofu." The little dimple was a little moved.
Nanami thought, he kind of understood why Gojo Satoru specifically told him not to tell Shigeo Kageyama about the high-level and the Curse Master.
This child is completely different from the conjurer reserve who grew up in a harsh environment full of intrigues.
Conjurers extract mantra power from negative emotions. In this way of fighting, the whole person tends to become extreme over time. Coupled with the hatred and disgust passed down from generation to generation by conjurers and conjurers, let alone remove the curse. Spiritual, even the boundaries of killing will be blurred.
Curse masters and conjurers are but a thin line.
However, the boy in front of him was different.
He even has a pureness that is rarely seen among his peers, without any dark colors, and has been well protected since childhood.
In his world, there is no concept of 'the curse spirit must be eradicated' or 'human beings who have something to do with the curse must be killed'.
He is not restricted by any rules and regulations, and has an infinitely possible future.
I want to make people raise this untapped jade, but I worry about the possibility of destroying him, or letting a young man with great potential go astray.
What happened to Xia Youjie, the magic circle can't afford a second time.
But who the hell taught this kid to be like this?Too tender and easily hurt.
"I probably understand what you're thinking, but my answer remains the same. There is a risk of being encircled and suppressed if you take the initiative to pursue."
"But I..."
"No matter how strong you are, you still have too little experience in dealing with curse spirits, so it's best not to say that you can handle this kind of thing. Besides, I have no intention of letting minors take the initiative to step into danger."
Kageyama Shigeo lowered his head, looking disappointed.
Qihai looked at him for a while, and said another thing: "But you should be interested in another thing."
Kageyama looked up in confusion.
"Do you still remember the man-made psychic incident you told Gojo Satoru? The higher authorities have already attracted attention. I am the investigator in charge of this incident. If you are free, please investigate with me." Qi Haijian The man pushed his glasses and said.
Yingshan's eyes lit up: "Is it possible?"
"Anyway, even if I don't agree, you will go to find it without authorization. It's too annoying that there is plenty of time during the student holiday." Jianren Qihai said slowly.
Besides, this task is much safer than looking for those dangerous spell spirits.Of course, the biggest possibility is that no trace can be found.
The Qihaijian people knew more or less about those high-level messes, so they didn't have much hope for it.
But Kageyama Shigeo didn’t know that although there was no way to find the dangerous curse spirit, the fact of man-made superpowers was also a thorn in his heart, so when he really took action in the magic world, he still had doubts about it. has hope.
So starting from this day, Kageyama Shigeo started the mode of going out early and returning late. He woke up very early in the morning, tutored homework with Jianren Nanami, and after finishing the homework, he began to investigate the matter of artificial superpowers, but as expected, he did not gain much.
Sato's research institute was built on the outskirts of a deep mountain, and there were very few surveillance cameras nearby, and the few surveillance cameras broke down on that day
Any fool can see that there is a problem.
Qi Hai silently thought to herself, it seems that their private investigation has been known by the higher-ups, and it is estimated that they will not get any useful information.
At the end of the day, still nothing.
Jianren Qihai's expression didn't change much, but Yingshan couldn't hold back any longer, his little face was full of disappointment.
Jianren Qihai couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yingshan."
"I know, but..."
"This kind of thing can't be done overnight, so take your time."
"Ok."
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the hotel room
Ritsu Kageyama has hardly been at home these days, and has been training his abilities with General Suzuki all day long, and he is almost able to levitate light-weight objects.
"You're very talented, Ritsu." Suzuki couldn't help applauding, "Of course you're a little bit worse than me."
"The latter sentence is superfluous." Kageyama Ritsu chuckled, obviously being able to use superpowers made him feel good, "Thank you for helping me train these days."
Suzuki will wave his hands: "It's okay, we are friends."
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door suddenly, Suzuki turned his face away, and muttered, "Here we come again", and his voice was drawn out: "Come in."
Several men wearing sunglasses walked into the room and bowed respectfully one meter away from Suzuki, behind him was a trolley full of documents.
"Master Suzuki, here are all the collected materials."
"Ah, got it. You guys back off." Suzuki waved his hand sullenly.
So these people left the room again, and after they closed the door, Suzuki changed from the indifferent expression just now, and said to Ritsu Kageyama: "Let's continue."
Kageyama Ritsu couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't you need to complete your mission?"
Originally, he wouldn't interfere with the affairs of Suzuki and their organization, but the little friend's mind of fishing was too obvious.
"Um, this task is so troublesome..." Suzuki will mutter, "Anyway, that experiment is fake, let him go, okay, okay, if we don't train, do we want to play games?"
With that said, the boy was already excited to get the video game.
Kageyama Ritsuko was all right, but when Suzuki went to look through the pile of games, he looked at the pair of documents and suddenly asked, "General, can I have a look at these documents?"
"Okay, you can do whatever you want!" Suzuki said indifferently, those are all the information about the artificial psychic research institute compiled by his subordinates, there is nothing to keep secret.
Ritsu Kageyama picked up the documents and looked at them with confidence, but at the same time he had other ideas in mind.
He is not a familiar person, although Suzuki said that he does not need to report to help him train, but as a Japanese who is used to returning gifts, Ritsu is not very good at receiving favors from others in vain.
Therefore, he wants to repay the other party in his own way.
Kageyama Ritsu sat at the desk, closed his eyes, and held a good spoon in his hand, trying to recall the feeling at that time.
But until the forehead was soaked with sweat, the spoon remained unmoved, as before.
Kageyama Ritsu opened his eyes, weakly discouraged, and his hand on the desk was tightly clenched into a fist.
How can I use super powers...
At this time, it was close to ten o'clock, and there was a slight movement from the next room. Ritsu Kageyama knew even with his eyes closed that it was his brother who went out to fight for justice late at night.
Feeling powerless and complicated, Kageyama Ritsu took a deep breath, put the spoon back in the drawer, and lay on the bed looking at his hands.
Don't you really have that talent?
Kageyama Ritsu's eyes were fixed on the void, and he was gradually fascinated. What was more uncomfortable than despair was that Mingming just thought he had grasped hope, but it ended up in vain.
This sense of gap will drive people crazy.
The first time I used superpowers was because I did something like that...
Ritsu Kageyama's heart moved, and his thoughts gradually slipped into an indescribable abyss.
Thinking about dangerous things and having no time to take care of his surroundings, Ritsu Kageyama naturally missed the mobile phone on the desk that constantly reminded him of new information.
Until something suddenly sounded from the glass window, this sound suddenly awakened Kageyama Ritsu.
'Tuk-tuk--'
what sound?
Kageyama Ritsu looked at the window in bewilderment, approached hesitantly, lifted a corner of the curtain, and suddenly stopped his movements, wait, what if it is someone with evil intentions.
'buzz—'
The mobile phone also vibrated at this time, Kageyama Ritsu's attention was attracted, he hesitated for a moment, first picked up the mobile phone, and found that the chat room with only two people refreshed a lot of information at some point.
Junior Star: Are you okay?There has been no reply for many days, please let me know if you are safe.
Little Jiangxing: Hey, I won't really do anything stupid.
Little Jiangxing: I'm here to find you, don't be impulsive.
Little Star: Look out the window
what?
Kageyama Ritsu was stunned for a moment, then came to the window again, opened the curtain and opened it outside.
A boy with reddish-brown hair in a baseball uniform stood at the door of his house, holding a mobile phone in one hand. The screen illuminated his immature and delicate face. He seemed to have noticed something and smiled at him.
The sky full of stars fell into his eyes.
Are you moved when a friend you met in the chat room suddenly appeared in front of you?
What a ghost!
Kageyama Ritsu subconsciously opened the window, and for a moment didn't know where to ask, and finally choked out: "Do you know what time it is?!"
"I know, I know, anyway, let me in first~" Suzuki said with a smile on his face, his footsteps touched the ground, his whole body floated like weightless, and stepped out of Kageyama Ritsu's window.
Kageyama Ritsu turned his body away to let him in, feeling a little unbelievable, and couldn't help asking: "Are you really a young general?"
Suzuki answered his doubts with practical actions - he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and typed a few kaomoji.
Kageyama Ritsu's computer screen
Little Star: (.ω.)y
Kageyama Ritsu relaxed, but still felt a little nonsense, almost making him unable to distinguish dream from reality, folded his arms around his chest with vacant eyes: "Why did you appear in front of me so suddenly? By the way, how did you know my home address?"
"Hey hey, because I'm worried about you~" Suzuki will not dare to say that because he has investigated him, he pointed his fingers guilty, "Ru you ignored me before, I was a little worried that you would go into a dead end or something, after all, I'll tell you the way, if something really happens, I will definitely feel extremely guilty."
Ritsu Kageyama reluctantly accepted this explanation: "Then how did you find..."
"Ahaha, now that we've finally met, feel free to ask me any questions you have about the use of super powers!" Suzuki will quickly change the subject.
Kageyama Ritsu "..." for a while, sighed, gave up the questioning, and squinted: "What time do you think it is, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Suzuki scratched his head in embarrassment: "Oh, oh, then I'm leaving?"
Well, to be honest, it was really a bit wrong for him to leave the door at that night regardless. It should be said that Suzuki will be released suddenly, out of the monitoring of his father's organization, and he is a little carried away.
"Wait," Kageyama Ritsu said suddenly, with a troubled look on his face, "How far is your home from here? You don't come all the way here, do you?"
Suzuki changed his expression: "Cough, my home is in Seasoning City, and I recently came to Tokyo for something. I'm staying at xx Hotel."
"..." Ritsu Kageyama calculated the distance, and confirmed that the late bus was gone, and said helplessly, "If you can't, you can spend the night in my room, it's getting late now."
"Not so good." Suzuki will be a little moved, mainly because he has never had the experience of staying at a friend's house.
"Okay, that's it, I'll get you a new quilt."
In the end, Suzuki managed to stay overnight, and the two of them lay on the bed and the other in the quilt on the floor, speechless for a while.
Ritsu Kageyama turned his back to Masao Suzuki, and suddenly said, "Thank you."
"what?"
"That's right, it's about coming here to see me." Ritsu Kageyama said vaguely, he didn't say anything, if it wasn't for opening the window and seeing that Suzuki would be at the door, if it wasn't for his news, then...
He might really be in the dark and do something irreversible in order to successfully use his powers.
"It's okay." Suzuki will look at the ceiling, "After all, you are my only friend."
"...Don't you have any friends?" Kageyama Ritsu was surprised, "I think you have a pretty good personality."
"Um, the main reason is that I haven't been back to school for a long time, and I've been in my dad's organization. There are basically adults there, and there is no common topic." Suzuki will sigh.
"...It's not easy for you either."
"Each each other."
There was another silence, and the two laughed out loud.
"Why does it feel like each of our families has a hard-to-recite scripture?"
"Yes," Suzuki turned over, "Go to sleep, I will teach you how to use your abilities tomorrow."
"OK, good night."
Heitian's dreamland soon fell. When Shigeo Kageyama next door came back from his rescue mission tonight, he didn't realize that there was already a strange superpower next door. He changed his clothes tiredly and lay down to sleep.
The little dimple seemed to notice it, but didn't say anything.
……
When Shigeo Kageyama woke up in a daze the next day, he happened to meet Ritsu Kageyama who was already packed and ready to go out.
"Brother, good morning."
"Good morning." Kageyama Shigeo held a towel, looking at his brother's long-lost bright smile in confusion, "Did Ritsu sleep well yesterday?"
"It's okay." Seeing Shigeo Kageyama, Ritsu Kageyama showed a faint smile, but he didn't intend to talk further, so he went downstairs quickly and went out.
Kageyama Shigeo blinked: "How do you feel, Ritsu is hiding something from me?"
Little dimples on his face: "Your brother, you are amazing."
Kageyama: "?"
Japan's semester system is different from China's. There are three semesters in total. The first semester starts in April. After more than three months of study, the summer vacation begins. The second semester starts at the end of August and ends in December. Winter vacation, the third semester is from early January to the end of March, and then spring vacation. (Note 4)
And now, it is the second semester vacation of Shigeo Kageyama in the first year of junior high school. This vacation is very short, about two weeks at most, and he will spend Christmas and Japanese New Year at home, so few people take this vacation Also go to training classes or something.
...well, probably.
As soon as Shigeo Kageyama went downstairs, he was caught by Kageyama's mother and father.
"Shigeru, your grades have finally improved. If you don't take advantage of this time to consolidate, you will spend several times more energy to catch up after the holiday!" Kageyama's mother persuaded.
Father Yingshan agreed: "That's right, it's very important to review the past and learn the new!"
Kageyama Shigeo had an ominous premonition: "I will work hard on my own."
"Your learning efficiency is too low by yourself. Your father and I thought about it, and we still need a tutor."
"...But I already have, uh..."
The existence of Mogami Sensei should not be exposed, and the other party is not here now.
"have what?"
"It's nothing."
"Okay, then let's continue. In fact, the teacher will come today~"
"……Eh?"
Before Shigeo Kageyama objected, the doorbell of Kageyama House rang, and Kageyama's mother hurried over to open the door for the teacher.
"So you just came to inform me?" Shigeo Kageyama couldn't believe it.
Kageyama's father coughed, avoiding Mofu's eyes: "Ahem, we are doing this for your own good. This teacher was introduced by the training class. Because it is a newly opened training class, the fee is very low. Anyway, you can try to get along with him." It’s only been two weeks since we got along with him.”
"I'm sorry." The teacher has already entered, and the first thing that catches the eye is a head of light-blond hair, wearing glasses, and a suit and leather shoes. He doesn't look like a teacher but like an elite in society.
"We met for the first time. I am a teacher sent by the xx training institution. I am from Qihai Jianren. Please give me more advice in the past two weeks."
Alarm bells were ringing in Xiaodiwo's heart, and he sneaked under Kageyama Shigeo's collar and reminded him in a low voice: "Be careful, Shigeo, this guy is a conjurer."
"Conjurer?" Shigeo Kageyama looked up at Jianren Nanami, meeting his gaze.
Kageyama's father was the first to say hello: "Hi, hello, this is our son, Kageyama Shigeo, Shigeo, please say hello to the teacher."
"Hello……"
After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Qi Hai went straight to the topic with a blank expression: "Then let's start studying from today, Kageyama-kun, please bring a pen and paper, and of course the final test paper, let's go to the self-study room outside to study." , Sometimes I can concentrate more in the outside world.”
"Huh? Aren't you at home?"
"Please don't worry, we have a special study room." Jianren Qihai said a lot with a professional face, and easily persuaded Yingshan's mother.
Xiao Diwo secretly raised his vigilance, and reminded Maofu in a low voice: "Better be careful, maybe he is here to trouble you."
Kageyama Shigeo was puzzled, and also lowered his voice: "Why do conjurers trouble me? Aren't they heroes who secretly bury curse spirits?"
"Er..." How did Xiao Diwo know, he actually saw a curse master the night before yesterday, or two curse masters were killed cleanly by Moshang. Kill Kageyama Shigeo, but there is no harm in being more or less vigilant.
"Anyway, he has come to your house and lied to your parents that he is a tutor. This is obviously a lie. Maybe there are scum among conjurers!" Xiao Dimple thought much deeper than Kageyama Shigeo. Never underestimate the lower limit of human beings.
What's more, Mogami handed Kageyama to him. If something happened to Kageyama before that man came back, he would be dead. It's better to be careful here.
Seeing Shigeo Kageyama's unkind expression, Xiao Dimple hurriedly said: "Wait, you can't do anything here, anyway, get out of here with him first, stay away."
So, Kageyama Shigeo walked out the door with Jianren Qihai holding his schoolbag in silence. Seeing that the surrounding roads were getting more and more deviated, he stopped with a frown and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Jianren Qihai also stopped, and the atmosphere between the two of them was a little frozen.
"Did Gojo Satoru not tell you?"
"……say what?"
Kageyama Shigeo looked confused.
Looking at his expression, Qihai understood everything, and at the same time hardened his fist: "That bastard... Forget it, anyway, let's go into the coffee shop and chat slowly."
Perhaps because the other party mentioned Mr. Gojo, Shigeo Kageyama relaxed his vigilance a little, followed Nanami to a store, and Nanami led him to sit in the innermost seat.
"So what's going on?"
Jianren Qihai: "Didn't Gojo Satoru tell you that I am the person sent by the magic world to protect you."
"Ah?" Shigeo Kageyama opened his mouth wide, "No... I haven't heard of it."
"That unreliable guy..." Five cute Q-faces flashed in Qihai's mind, and he explained with powerlessness in resentment, "In short, you have been targeted by the stunt magic group. It's up to me to protect you."
"Is it that serious?" Shigeo Kageyama murmured in bewilderment. He had never had the experience of being protected by others, and he had no awareness of being in a crisis.
"Those curse spirits have intelligence comparable to that of humans, and they probably don't have moral restraints not to do other things, such as kidnapping your parents, so it's better not to stay at home as much as possible these two weeks, Of course this is just my suggestion."
Jianren Qihai said indifferently: "But your vigilance is good." At least he didn't directly believe that he was really a teacher who came to make up lessons.
"Ah, that dimple reminded me." Kageyama Shigeo said.
"Small dimples?"
"Don't expose my existence so quickly!" Little Dimple felt helpless, and had no choice but to poke his head out of Shigeo Kageyama's collar.
Qihai Jianren's gaze sharpened: "Evil spirit? Is it entangled with you? No wonder I didn't notice his existence just now, so I turned my head slightly."
"Huh!? Wait," watching Qihai take out a long weapon wrapped in a cloth covered with strange spells from his briefcase, Kageyama Shigeo quickly explained, "Although the dimple is an evil spirit, it is not malicious. , and have not done anything bad, so..."
"Evil spirits are different from curse spirits, because they have intelligence similar to that of humans, and are good at seducing humans with words. With all due respect, I may have been deceived."
"I don't think so, please put away your weapons, and Wujo-sensei also knows the existence of dimples!"
Under the repeated protection of Shigeo Kageyama, Jianren Nanami still put away the weapon in his hand, and instead was full of resentment towards someone, because even the fact that the target was accompanied by evil spirits all the year round, someone a little bit Didn't even talk to him.
【What kind of person is he?Well, Nanami will know when he goes, don't worry, he is a good boy. 】
Which good boy will protect the evil spirit? !
Qihai silently recorded this point in a small notebook.
"In short, I will protect you for these two weeks. I will stay near you as much as possible. If there is anything wrong, please communicate with me as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll remember." Hearing that the consequences were so serious, Kageyama Shigeo also put away his thoughts of underestimating the curse spirit, and tried to look serious.
Jianren Qihai pushed his glasses, and under the reflection of the mirror, his eyes calmly appraised the boy in front of him.
At the beginning, he refused the job, and had no interest in being a babysitter, but Gojo Satoru's next words made him change his mind.
"Not protection, but surveillance? What's going on?"
"Qihai has also heard similar rumors recently, about the king of curse spirits."
"Isn't that a rumor?"
"Yes, but the old men above are worried. They would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. You understand. So I want you to be the guardian. If it's you, those old men will feel relieved to some extent."
...Indeed, unlike the students brought out by Gojo Satoru, Qihai Jianren is close to the Wujo faction in the world of magic, but he pays more attention to order and rules. Of course, what is more important is that his strength ranks first even in the world of magic Number.
However, apart from the task of monitoring, it is more of a deterrent and protective function. With him to monitor, the higher-ups have no reason to hire a curse master. It is also a fact that Shigeo Kageyama was targeted by a super-level curse spirit.
So he came.
Jianren Nanami silently observed Shigeo Kageyama. At present, there are indeed doubts.
But since it was protection, why did Gojo Satoru specifically tell him not to tell Kageyama about the higher-ups?It's best not to even talk about the rumor, the person involved is entitled to know about it.
"Well, since you are not a tutor, what are we going to do?" Kageyama Shigeo asked cautiously.
From his own world, Jianren Qihai pushed his glasses and asked calmly: "Although I am here to protect you, after graduating from a high school, I gave up being a magician and went to an ordinary university, so This level of tutoring is still achievable.”
The subtext is, or to learn.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Shigeo Kageyama's eyes after hearing this, and he hesitated to speak.
"Or do you have a better suggestion? If you have something, just say it directly. I'm not a pervert either."
"Yes... um, is there no way for us to take the initiative?" Shigeo Kageyama asked anxiously, "I want to get rid of that super magic group as soon as possible."
Jianren Qihai was a little surprised, and quickly regained his composure, "There are at least three special-level monsters in the Mantra Group, and it is not the best policy to take the initiative to attack. I can understand your uneasiness and passive anxiety, but please also consider the difference between the enemy and us. Even if the magic world can support in time, it may not be able to support until then."
"It's not like that... I don't want Mr. Nanami to take risks! It's not because of personal uneasiness and anxiety." Shigeo Kageyama lowered his head, holding the cup in both hands.
"I don't want to let them kill other people anymore. Last time I obviously had a chance to kill those curse spirits, but I hesitated." Kageyama Maofu looked down at his reflection in the ice water, "Not only It is because of the hesitation that the people around may be affected, but the hesitation of whether those curse spirits should really be eradicated."
When the real people narrated their ideas, Shigeo Kageyama thought of the evil spirits he had encountered in the spiritual world who wanted revenge, and he hesitated.
In the past, he never hesitated to destroy evil spirits, but since then, he has doubted his own conception.
If evil spirits have the same thinking and even emotions as human beings, then what is the difference between them and human beings? The curse spirit called Dazheng even claims that they are new human beings. Is eradicating them really different from killing a human being?
Thinking of this, Shigeo Kageyama would feel trembling for his past actions.
This must be a fear that only the self who can see the two worlds can feel.
"It's better not to think too deeply. As far as the result is concerned, pulling it out should be the best option, right?" Jianren Qihai said after being silent for a while.
It was only then that Kageyama realized that he had spoken out what he was thinking at some point, perhaps because Mr. Qihai was a bit like a master, and he wanted to get guidance from him unconsciously.
"Yes, it turned out that I was wrong. I should have pulled it out without hesitation at the time, so I wanted to make up for my mistake as soon as possible and pull it out."
"But... I will not give up thinking." Yingshan said slowly but firmly, "Being able to see two worlds, this talent must not only be used for killing. I don't want to be the one being used, should I? Pull out, I want to have my own judgment, not be a knife in someone else's hand."
"Also, there are evil spirits like Little Dimple who can't do evil in this world, so maybe there are also curse spirits that are harmless to humans."
"Maofu." The little dimple was a little moved.
Nanami thought, he kind of understood why Gojo Satoru specifically told him not to tell Shigeo Kageyama about the high-level and the Curse Master.
This child is completely different from the conjurer reserve who grew up in a harsh environment full of intrigues.
Conjurers extract mantra power from negative emotions. In this way of fighting, the whole person tends to become extreme over time. Coupled with the hatred and disgust passed down from generation to generation by conjurers and conjurers, let alone remove the curse. Spiritual, even the boundaries of killing will be blurred.
Curse masters and conjurers are but a thin line.
However, the boy in front of him was different.
He even has a pureness that is rarely seen among his peers, without any dark colors, and has been well protected since childhood.
In his world, there is no concept of 'the curse spirit must be eradicated' or 'human beings who have something to do with the curse must be killed'.
He is not restricted by any rules and regulations, and has an infinitely possible future.
I want to make people raise this untapped jade, but I worry about the possibility of destroying him, or letting a young man with great potential go astray.
What happened to Xia Youjie, the magic circle can't afford a second time.
But who the hell taught this kid to be like this?Too tender and easily hurt.
"I probably understand what you're thinking, but my answer remains the same. There is a risk of being encircled and suppressed if you take the initiative to pursue."
"But I..."
"No matter how strong you are, you still have too little experience in dealing with curse spirits, so it's best not to say that you can handle this kind of thing. Besides, I have no intention of letting minors take the initiative to step into danger."
Kageyama Shigeo lowered his head, looking disappointed.
Qihai looked at him for a while, and said another thing: "But you should be interested in another thing."
Kageyama looked up in confusion.
"Do you still remember the man-made psychic incident you told Gojo Satoru? The higher authorities have already attracted attention. I am the investigator in charge of this incident. If you are free, please investigate with me." Qi Haijian The man pushed his glasses and said.
Yingshan's eyes lit up: "Is it possible?"
"Anyway, even if I don't agree, you will go to find it without authorization. It's too annoying that there is plenty of time during the student holiday." Jianren Qihai said slowly.
Besides, this task is much safer than looking for those dangerous spell spirits.Of course, the biggest possibility is that no trace can be found.
The Qihaijian people knew more or less about those high-level messes, so they didn't have much hope for it.
But Kageyama Shigeo didn’t know that although there was no way to find the dangerous curse spirit, the fact of man-made superpowers was also a thorn in his heart, so when he really took action in the magic world, he still had doubts about it. has hope.
So starting from this day, Kageyama Shigeo started the mode of going out early and returning late. He woke up very early in the morning, tutored homework with Jianren Nanami, and after finishing the homework, he began to investigate the matter of artificial superpowers, but as expected, he did not gain much.
Sato's research institute was built on the outskirts of a deep mountain, and there were very few surveillance cameras nearby, and the few surveillance cameras broke down on that day
Any fool can see that there is a problem.
Qi Hai silently thought to herself, it seems that their private investigation has been known by the higher-ups, and it is estimated that they will not get any useful information.
At the end of the day, still nothing.
Jianren Qihai's expression didn't change much, but Yingshan couldn't hold back any longer, his little face was full of disappointment.
Jianren Qihai couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yingshan."
"I know, but..."
"This kind of thing can't be done overnight, so take your time."
"Ok."
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the hotel room
Ritsu Kageyama has hardly been at home these days, and has been training his abilities with General Suzuki all day long, and he is almost able to levitate light-weight objects.
"You're very talented, Ritsu." Suzuki couldn't help applauding, "Of course you're a little bit worse than me."
"The latter sentence is superfluous." Kageyama Ritsu chuckled, obviously being able to use superpowers made him feel good, "Thank you for helping me train these days."
Suzuki will wave his hands: "It's okay, we are friends."
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door suddenly, Suzuki turned his face away, and muttered, "Here we come again", and his voice was drawn out: "Come in."
Several men wearing sunglasses walked into the room and bowed respectfully one meter away from Suzuki, behind him was a trolley full of documents.
"Master Suzuki, here are all the collected materials."
"Ah, got it. You guys back off." Suzuki waved his hand sullenly.
So these people left the room again, and after they closed the door, Suzuki changed from the indifferent expression just now, and said to Ritsu Kageyama: "Let's continue."
Kageyama Ritsu couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't you need to complete your mission?"
Originally, he wouldn't interfere with the affairs of Suzuki and their organization, but the little friend's mind of fishing was too obvious.
"Um, this task is so troublesome..." Suzuki will mutter, "Anyway, that experiment is fake, let him go, okay, okay, if we don't train, do we want to play games?"
With that said, the boy was already excited to get the video game.
Kageyama Ritsuko was all right, but when Suzuki went to look through the pile of games, he looked at the pair of documents and suddenly asked, "General, can I have a look at these documents?"
"Okay, you can do whatever you want!" Suzuki said indifferently, those are all the information about the artificial psychic research institute compiled by his subordinates, there is nothing to keep secret.
Ritsu Kageyama picked up the documents and looked at them with confidence, but at the same time he had other ideas in mind.
He is not a familiar person, although Suzuki said that he does not need to report to help him train, but as a Japanese who is used to returning gifts, Ritsu is not very good at receiving favors from others in vain.
Therefore, he wants to repay the other party in his own way.
