The Law of the Heart of the Strongest Magician

In the dilapidated alley, the garbage is crowded with the small garbage cans, and there are piles of garbage beside it.

Flies fluttered in disorder, and when someone passed by, they were not afraid at all, and still lingered in their territory arrogantly.

This alley is surrounded by poor residential buildings, and the wires stretched across it almost cover the sky from a glance.

The sound insulation effect of residential buildings is not good, the sound of pots and pans colliding, the sound of children crying, and the sound of couples arguing.

The window on the second floor was suddenly opened, and someone poked his head out and shouted impatiently at the opposite side: "Is someone dead at home in the middle of the night! Why are you crying! If you can't coax a child, just sew your mouth up!"

The crying of the child is louder.

Not long after, the opposite window opened, and the middle-aged woman came back screaming with a spatula in her hand.

The ground is wet, and dirty water has been poured in this place all year round, and a layer of dirt has condensed on the stone slabs.

Be careful even when walking.

The drunken man squatting at the base of the wall impatiently picked out his ears, but he had already gotten used to the noise in the alley, so he was not affected at all, and kept squinting his eyes drunkenly.

Until, at this time, a little girl walked into the alley.

The first thing that came into view was the little girl's thin white ankle, and then up, the calf.

Such a clean and pure little girl is rare in the dirty and poor alleys. Once she comes into sight, she is like a prey, making people want to destroy her more.

"Little friend, are you here to find someone?"

When Ling Yao walked into the alley, a drunken man blocked her way forward.

The alley was not wide at all, and he lay there, not conscious of giving way at all.

He smelled badly of alcohol.

Ling Yao slightly frowned, "What do you want?"

The firefly in the palm of his hand danced faintly, analyzing the traces left by Xia Youjie.

Since a long time had passed, Xia Youjie's smell had weakened a lot, and it took more time for the firefly to identify, so she lingered in this area for a long time.

The drunk man laughed, hiccupped, and reached out to touch Ling Yao's face, "I'm not seeing you, I'm afraid you can't find your way, do you want to help you? Where are you going?" , Uncle will take you there."

Ling Yao turned her face away, avoiding his touch, "I don't need it."

While talking, Yinghuo had recognized Xia Youjie's scent, flashing to tell her the information.

Ling Yao immediately raised her feet and walked towards the direction pointed by the firefly.

You can see Xia Youjie soon.

The uneasiness that had been suppressing in my heart finally subsided a lot.

The drunk man suddenly seemed to go crazy, blocked her way, winked and smiled disgustingly, "Why is little sister walking so fast? Let's follow uncle, uncle promises to let you..."

--boom.

The drunken face in front of him suddenly fell heavily to the ground, and his body was broken into a mass of bloody mud on the ground, mixed with the filth on the ground, bloody and dirty.

Following the drunken man's body fell down.

The vision blocked by him also appeared in front of Ling Yao, directly in front of her, at the end of the alley when she came.

The familiar figure was the one she had been looking for all day.

Facing each other from a distance, he smiled at her, and greeted her first as before: "Ling Yao, why did you come here?"

His long hair was scattered behind his back, with only a small ball tied.

The smile is a little fake, a little unreal, and it's not the same as the always gentle smile in my memory.

Ling Yao put Liu Ying away and hurried over.

When I got in front of him, I tugged at the hem of his clothes to confirm again and again, "Are you really Xia You?"

Xia Youjie smiled, "Is it because the weather is too hot? How could you ask such a question? Who else can I be except Xia Youjie?"

"..."

She looked up in a daze, looking into his eyes.

In the evening when the light had dimmed, he stood in front of her. She hadn't seen Xia Youjie smile for a long time, but this smile made her feel even stranger.

She turned her head, released Liuying, and rescued the drunk man first.

Xia Youjie said at this moment: "He just wanted to hurt you, do you want to save him too? Could it be too kind."

Ling Yao didn't look back at him, "They're all human."

"Useless humans."

"..."

Liu Ying withdrew, and Ling Yao slowly put down her hand.

"I just wanted to ask you, why did you kill him?" She turned her head, looking at him unreservedly with blankness and disbelief in her eyes.

"First of all, he can't hurt me at all. Secondly, even if he has that kind of intention, it's fine to knock him out, and let him get hurt and learn a lesson. His crimes are not so serious that he needs to pay with his life. .”

Xia Youjie's complexion did not change, he just looked at her silently, even the curvature of his smile remained unchanged.

When she spoke, she didn't answer her question, but said, "How did you find this place?"

Ling Yao pursed her lips, very persistently: "You answer me first."

He smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I'm just asking casually."

Xia Youjie patted the dust that didn't exist on his body, turned around and prepared to leave, "Go back to the college."

Ling Yao chased after him, and followed him, "What about you?"

"Me?" From the side face, you can see his chin slightly raised, "I still have a lot to do."

Ling Yao said directly: "Kill more people?"

He looked at her a little bit, "It seems that your purpose in coming here is not completely aimless. Are you here to persuade me, arrest me, or defect with me?"

Ling Yao frowned, she was not used to Xia Youjie's tone of voice at this time.

She said honestly, "I'm here to take you back to the high school."

Xia Youjie still had an indifferent smile on his lips.

Until this time——

"Goo."

Xia Youjie lowered his head, seeing Ling Yao's embarrassed face, he finally couldn't help laughing, "Are you hungry?"

"...Hmm." Ling Yao felt ashamed that her stomach growled at such an important moment.

"Why is your stomach growling before it's time for dinner?" Xia Youjie smiled, and this smile brought his strange feeling closer, "I'm gone, no one will cook for you? Nitro should be in Yes."

"...I haven't had dinner since last night."

"..."

There was silence for a while.

Xia Youjie restrained his smile and didn't speak any more, but he didn't intend to drive her away either.

Ling Yao followed him around in the alley, finally arrived at an old residential building, and followed him into the corridor.

Then, he took out the key and opened a door.

Ling Yao asked curiously, "Are you planning to live here in the future?"

Before Xia Youjie could answer her, the door opened at this moment.

The crisp voices of two little girls came from the front: "Lord Xia You is back!"

As soon as the door opened, two groups of little girls rushed over, each hugging Xia Youjie's arm.

"What's for dinner tonight?"

"Master Xia You, are you tired today?"

The two little girls adored him and talked with his arms.

At this time, he also noticed Ling Ying who was following Xia Youjie.

Their eyes became more vigilant.

One of the girls has a much gentler personality, "Master Xia You, who is she?"

The other girl was not so polite, and finally expressed her dissatisfaction, "Why would an ordinary person who doesn't have magic power follow Mrs. Xia You?"

Their words made Ling Yao a little embarrassed, and she stood where she was, as if she was an outsider who broke in rashly, disturbing other people's world.

Xia Youjie said to one of the girls, "Mimiko, go get a pair of slippers."

This sound meant to keep the bell ringing.

The other girl was obviously displeased, "Master Xia You, why do we take in an ordinary human?"

"She is not a non-conjurer." He did not say that she is not an ordinary person, but a non-conjurer.

He stood up, made room for the door, turned to Ling Yao and said, "Come in."

Xia Youjie went to cook.

The two girls were left playing in the living room, but neither of them seemed to like her, and they had a clear barrier with her, sitting on the other side of the sofa.

Ling Yao was not good at words, and she didn't know what to say to such obvious hostility.

So there was silence until dinner was ready.

The food is still familiar, it belongs to Xia Youjie's taste.

Since last night's dinner, she hadn't eaten three meals. If she hadn't been able to hold on and wouldn't starve to death, she would have been exhausted long ago.

Although you won't starve to death, the feeling of hunger is not comfortable.

She ate the meal in silence.

Nanako and Mimiko still didn't like her, and deliberately sat far away from her, Xia Youjie didn't stop him, because he didn't intend to let Ling Yao stay for too long.

He said, "After dinner, I'll take you to the station, and when you get back to the high school..."

"What about you?" Ling Yao interrupted him.

Xia Youjie's face remained unchanged, "I have other things to do."

The bell did not make a sound.

After a while, she hesitated and said, "Can you drive me away tomorrow?"

At this time, Nanako protested and cried out, "Do you mean to sleep at our house at night? Even if you stay overnight, Master Xia You will drive you away, why are you so shameless?"

"Nanaizi." Xia Youjie knocked on the bowl, "Don't talk while eating."

Nanako glared at Ling Yao, but obediently shut up.

Xia Youjie looked at Ling Yao again, "Do you want to send news to Wu and the others?"

Ling shook her head, "I was in a hurry when I went out, and I didn't bring my mobile phone."

She didn't bring anything, and after Noctua Zhengdao finished speaking, she rushed to the village without hesitation.

Xia Youjie was noncommittal, and said, "It's not safe at night, you can sleep here tonight, that's my room."

He pointed in a direction.

As soon as the voice fell, and before Ling Yao could speak, Nanako immediately objected: "How can that be done! Where will Master Xia You sleep!"

Xia Youjie said to her: "I have an appointment with the curse master tonight, and I will not come back to sleep. But, Nanako, don't always target Ling Yao like this."

"...Understood." Nanako reluctantly agreed.

Her gaze was still hostile to Ling Yao.

Ling Yao stopped talking. Although Xia Youjie still took good care of her, he felt that his existence was superfluous.

Obviously, it wasn't like this before yesterday.

Before he knew it, Xia Youjie was no longer the Xia Youjie who accompanied him to do homework, cook for himself, and take him to do tasks in the college.

He would buy himself ice cream, and he would smile and care if she was unhappy.

He is gentler than Wujo Wu, and he is also easier to talk than Wujo Wu.

But at this moment, she suddenly regretted that she shouldn't have been angry with Gojo Satoru by texting yesterday.

You shouldn't say things you don't want to talk to him about.

Don't lose your temper with him.

She shouldn't say such angry words, because now, she really wants to see him very much.

Just like that night when the adoptive parents came back after waiting for a long time, just a phone call, and he appeared in front of her.

He accompanied her out of the police station and cooked delicious noodles for her.

At that time, it was clear that my heart was full of uneasiness and panic, but as long as he was by my side, I wouldn't feel afraid.

That kind of feeling was not so deep before, but now I miss him like never before.

Miss him very much.
