The Law of the Heart of the Strongest Magician

"..."

"..."

No one answered the phone.

Unwilling to give up, she made a second call, but still no one answered.

The middle-aged woman who borrowed her phone got impatient and rolled her eyes, "Don't call if you can't get through, and don't get in the way here, cry in another place, it's really bad luck."

"..."

One last glance at the phone interface.

Ling Yao returned the phone to the middle-aged woman, said in a low voice, "Thank you."

After the middle-aged woman took back her mobile phone, she twisted her waist and disappeared into the corridor.

Silence was restored again, the wind and rain at the entrance of the corridor hit the stone slab in front of the door, leaving traces of cold.

The sound of Nanako and Mimiko fighting could be heard from the upstairs room. They were having a good time, when Nanako suddenly heard cheers: "Master Xia You is calling!"

Ling Yao raised her head buried between her knees slightly to listen to the movement over there.

But she couldn't hear anything.

She raised her hand slightly, wanting to release Liu Ying to listen, but finally put down her hand and buried her head in her knees again.

The body has long been numb from the cold, and the sky is gradually getting dark.

In the corridor, there was the sound of cooking and cooking from various houses, and there was a scent wafting out, mixed with the coldness of the wind and rain, it stimulated the nose and made people feel sour.

Xia Youjie left for a whole day after going out in the morning, and finally at around ten o'clock in the evening, Liuying sent a message of Xia Youjie's unusual movements.

When she stood up, she didn't know if it was because of the cold wind blowing for too long, and she hadn't eaten for a day, and she always felt sore and weak in her waist and abdomen, especially when the cold wind was blowing, it was extraordinarily cold.

The rain outside hadn't stopped yet, Ling Yao tried to step outside from the entrance of the corridor, gritted her teeth, and ran out directly.

The wind and rain came down, and people shivered from the cold.

She had no choice but to speed up her running to make the coldness less obvious.

Liuying took her to a deserted place on the outskirts of the city. The fireflies flickered to illuminate the road ahead, but because the place was too desolate and it was raining, every foot was in the mud.

Shrubs and thorns ran across the calf, leaving deep and shallow scratches.

The branches of the trees above her head were swayed by her, and large drops of raindrops fell, hitting her collar, making her bone-chillingly cold.

Pushing aside the last branch, I finally walked out of the jungle. There was a path in front of me. There was a light at the end of the path. From the outline, it seemed to be a temple or some other religious building.

Before she could see clearly, a shadow flickered in front of her.

A knife rested on Ling Yao's neck.

A playful and dangerous laugh came from above the head: "Little friend, didn't your parents teach you not to run around in remote places at night?"

Ling Yao looked up, and saw a vague figure on the tree branch, who smiled sullenly: "Congratulations, I won't see the sun tomorrow—"

"Are you a curse master?"

Ling Yao stood on the spot and asked.

The other party clicked his tongue, "You actually know the curse, it seems that you are not an ordinary person? No wonder you are so calm, I wonder if you will still be so calm when I chop you up later?"

The knife was still on her neck.

Ling Yao didn't feel scared, she wanted to ask if Xia Youjie was here too, at this moment she heard Xia Youjie's voice coming from behind a tree in front, "Forget it, you can't kill Drop her."

Following the sound, Xia Youjie's figure also slowly walked over from behind the tree.

The lights were dim, and his figure dragged a dim shadow, like a wandering soul.

The curse master smiled disdainfully, "You know this girl? She is very strong?"

Xia Youjie hummed, "Let's not say whether you can kill her, even if you can, I advise you not to do it."

"Huh? This is your sincerity for coming to us to cooperate? Could this be your little lover? He came here to find her husband from a thousand miles away?" Sincerity, how about killing your little lover to prove yourself?"

"Don't repeat my words. If you want to kill, you can do whatever you want, but you have to be ready to be chased and killed by Gojo Satoru at any time."

"—?" The other party's hand on her neck hesitated for a moment, "Gojo Satoru?"

Xia Youjie ignored him and said, "You are really persistent, when are you going to stay with me?"

Although the subject was unclear, and Xia Youjie's expression could not be seen in the dim light, Ling Yao also knew that it was speaking to herself.

From Xia Youjie's appearance, Ling Yao's gaze was fixed on him, and she replied: "I said before, if you kill someone, I will save him, and I will follow you until you stop killing someone."

As for the knife on her neck, indeed, she didn't care about it. No one in this world could kill her. Apart from normal birth, old age, sickness and death, her death was only possible.

It was precisely because she believed that she would not die that she dared to take risks and followed Xia Youjie all the time.

The curse master hesitated for a moment. Obviously, Gojo Satoru's name was very intimidating, and he didn't want to get into trouble.

The other party took down the knife and was about to leave. The conversation between him and Xia Youjie seemed to be over before she arrived, and he only said one sentence before leaving: "I look forward to your performance, the future leader of the Panxing Sect. "

After the curse master left, Ling shook his neck and looked at Xia Youjie hesitantly, wondering if he should walk over.

Instead, Xia Youjie spoke first, "Isn't it cold standing there?"

Raindrops kept falling from the branches above his head, making his neck sting from the cold.

Ling Yao pushed aside the branches and walked to Xia Youjie's side.

He turned around and continued to walk forward, his pace was not fast, even if Ling Yao was so weak below the waist and abdomen at this moment, he could still keep up.

It was a rainy day, there was no moonlight, only gloomy darkness.

After a while, Xia Youjie finally said, "Are you going to follow me like this?"

Ling Yao looked up at him, nodded, "Yes."

"Ah."

"You didn't go back to the high school today?"

"Ah."

"You only show up when I do something?"

"Ah."

The top of his head suddenly sank, it was Xia Youjie's palm.

"So you haven't eaten today?"

Ling Yao felt a little astonished, as if such an action was only three days ago, but it seemed that a century had passed, so long ago that she thought she would never see Xia Youjie like this again.

His nose suddenly felt a little sour, "Yeah."

She is not very good at disguising emotions, so the grievance in this response is obvious.

Xia Youjie smiled slightly with eyes hidden in the darkness, and rubbed her head, "Why don't you eat something, even if you don't know how to cook, there are biscuits and the like."

"I... didn't go in." Ling Yao choked, and when she spoke again, the sadness she had been holding back for a day became more and more uncontrollable, but she knew rationally that the Xia Youjie now was not the Xia Youjie before, so she still endured He said without crying, "Nanako doesn't like me, and I don't want to disturb your life... Anyway, I just want to save people and stop you from killing more innocent people, so I didn't go in."

He rubbed her head, and then she heard the sound of a bird in the distance, not like a bird, it was a very strange song.

"It's my curse spirit, it can fly, and I'll take you to dinner later." He stopped, and there was a lake in front of him, the surface of the lake was unclear on a moonless and starless night, "Let's chat with me for a while. "

The rain on the top of the head also stopped unconsciously.

Ling Yao looked up, the rain was still falling, but she couldn't feel the rain falling.

Xia Youjie explained from the side: "The curse spirit is above the head to block the rain."

"This lake has a history, do you know?" He said suddenly.

"I don't know..." Ling Yao glanced at the lake, just after she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a little familiar.

Because the light in the rainy night was too dark, and she had been looking at Xia Youjie just now, she didn't notice where this place was for a while, but only now did she realize...she had been here.

Isn't this the place where the school organized a camping trip? She slipped out of the dormitory in the middle of the night, and Gojo Satoru brought her to this lake.

She just wanted to say that she had been here before. The last time Gojo Satoru told her that this lake was formed by a curse master who used magic power to penetrate the ground, and the underground water gushed up to form the lake.

Xia Youjie has already opened his mouth, "There are many families in the magic world that have passed down their spells from generation to generation. The most famous is the Yusan family. Wu was born in one of the Yusan families. The art world is also well-known, and the most frightening among them should be the Yi family."

"Why do you use the word fearful to describe it, because the techniques of the first family are very domineering and cruel, and the head of their generation is even more famous for being cold-blooded. He is a person who can even kill his own flesh and blood. Except for the Wutiao family, No one in other families dares to make friends with the first family, and the reason why the Wutiao family has good relations with the first family is only because Wu's mother has a close friend in the boudoir who played with him when he was young, and fell in love with the head of the first family."

Ling Yao blinked her eyes very slowly.

She has heard of this surname before, in the dream of the curse spirit, the girl named Zhiying seems to have the surname I.

Then it's no wonder that the girl named Zhiying and Gojo Satoru have known each other since they were young... Maybe they were childhood sweethearts or something, although Satoru kept saying that he didn't remember.

"Five or six years ago, the head of an aristocratic family attempted to dominate the family, and attracted thousands of curse spirits to wash Tokyo with blood. That night, the city of Tokyo was filled with blood and corpses were scattered everywhere."

Ling Yao was stunned for a moment, "How is it possible? If something like that happened, how could Tokyo be so peaceful now?"

"Because it failed." Xia Youjie said, "No one knows the specific details. Those who witnessed this incident have passed away at that time, and the only records and evidence are kept by the high-level officials of the magic circle. A top-secret file that is forbidden to read."

"However, this lake serves as a warning. Everyone who becomes a conjurer will be warned repeatedly from the beginning of school, to have justice in his heart, to protect non-conjurers, and not to repeat the same mistakes to reproduce such a disaster."

Ling shook his eyelids and asked in puzzlement, "Then why did you kill non-conjurers?"

"Did I tell you before? The root of the curse is the negative emotions of human beings. If there are no human beings, there will be no curse."

He raised his head to face the water, and the raindrops fell in front of him like silver chains, "I want that kind of world.

When he said such words, he didn't feel his madness, but a kind of calm, almost relieved calm.

"I disagree," she said.

"I know you won't agree. It's because no one agrees, so I don't intend to explain to anyone." He smiled, and the rain was still soft. "Everyone will think that killing ordinary people is too unrealistic. But You see, didn't someone almost do it a few years ago?"

He pointed to the lake in front of him.

This lake is very big. The last time Ling Yao visited, it was almost impossible to see the end at a glance. It seemed like a broken moat that split the world, splitting life and death into two ends. Just looking at it, you would feel the breath of death rushing towards your face. .

Xia Youjie smiled, "Although I don't know why the curse master of the Yi family changed his attack, the curse power thrown out of this lake was originally intended to attack the city. If the attack direction had not been changed, Tokyo would have been in ruins, right?"

"My disapproval is not that it is unrealistic to kill ordinary people. I know that if Xia You wants to do that, maybe it can be done."

Xia Youjie was startled, and then smiled lightly, "After having this idea, you are the first person to say that I can do it."

"However, I still don't agree." Ling Yao felt her stomach ache and her legs were limp, but she spoke every word clearly, "I don't think killing all ordinary humans can cut off the root of the curse."

Xia Youjie became a little interested in what she said, "Why?"

Ling Yao rubbed her stomach, feeling a little sore.

She still answered Xia Youjie calmly, firmly and calmly, "Because conflicts are universal and can never be resolved. Old conflicts disappear and will turn into new ones. It is precisely because there is always Things will continue to move forward only if there are endless contradictions to be resolved. It can be said that the existence of contradictions is the driving force driving the development of the world.”

Xia Youjie was startled, then laughed and said, "Why do you say such philosophical words?"

"I recited it." Ling Yao answered him honestly, "It's the theory of contradictions in Marxist philosophy. It was painful to memorize at first, because it was very difficult to recite, but then Grandpa Huang told me a lot, and I gradually understood it."

"For example, the initial needs of human beings are the same as those of ordinary animals, just to eat enough to survive, but the primitive way of hunting has gradually been unable to meet human needs, so they learned to plant and use tools. With other needs for survival, today, human beings have mobile phones and televisions, can take cars when traveling far away, and can make phone calls when communicating. New issues such as information leakage.”

She said a lot in one breath, feeling her waist and abdomen became weaker and weaker, "So, you think killing ordinary people is the end, but in fact it is just the beginning of another world. Maybe it will briefly show the situation you want , Maybe you can see the picture of your dreams in your lifetime, but this state will not last forever, and the peace you are looking forward to is just a wrong road."

The rain fell mercilessly, forming circles of water nests on the lake. In the silent mountains and fields, the sound of such rain was loud and indifferent.

It took a while before Xia Youjie made a sound from his throat, "Wrong way? How are you sure that this is a wrong way, not the right way?"

"Because the world is not chosen by heroes, but the world chooses heroes. It is because the world needs heroes that it has heroes."

Ling Yao endured the increasingly obvious soreness in her waist and abdomen, especially when the cold wind blew past, that feeling made her feel even more powerless.

"The world is not created by great men engraved on the boundary markers. On the contrary, it is created by millions of ordinary, mediocre, and inconspicuous human beings in this world. If you don't want to change this world, this world will be destroyed. You change. Looking at the history of all countries in the world, there are many people who advocate reform and change. Some people succeed and some fail. The reasons for failure are different, but the reasons for success are inseparable from conforming to the trend of the times.”

"So, Xia You, what you want to do will definitely fail."

The final conclusion was like a hammer hitting Xia Youjie's nerves.

His eyelids twitched, and after a long time, he heard him say in the cold wind and rain, "You also recited this?"

Ling Yao nodded sincerely, "Well, it's the Marxist view of heroic history."

After thinking about it, he added: "There is also my own understanding."

"I don't know why you have the idea of ​​killing ordinary people. I always think that the innocent people in this world are the majority."

This time, Xia Youjie did not wait for an answer.

Because the dark sky was suddenly illuminated, like a meteor passing by, flickering dazzling light, suddenly passing through the field of vision.

Accompanied by that, there was a loud crash of the forest behind him collapsing.

The world seems to be shattered from the outside, with a dazzling gaze that cannot be ignored and cannot be escaped, it breaks into your world forcefully, and it cannot be rejected or escaped.

Xia Youjie's face was filled with astonishment in the light all over the sky. He looked up at the twinkling stars all night, "Aren't these your fireflies? Why are there so many of them all of a sudden? You suddenly cast a spell?"

"..."

Did not hear the answer from the bell.

Xia Youjie looked down at Ling Yao next to him, and saw that the other party's face was already stunned by the flowing fireflies falling from the sky like a galaxy, as if he had lost his ability to think, and could only stare at the flowing fireflies all over the sky.

The rain kept falling, countless fireflies shuttled in the rain curtain, the world turned into waves, and the air engulfed in the dark night was rendered in a color brighter than the Milky Way.

The rainwater falling from the sky was illuminated and fell all over the sky, like thousands of glowing silver threads.

Then, in the forest that had already collapsed, on a road that was split, someone walked towards them step by step against the rain.

The silvery white fireflies surrounded him, like a galaxy, connecting two ends, one end there, one end here.

The constantly jumping light spots fell on his hair and shoulders, and the ends of his hair were blown by the wind in the rain curtain, and brushed across his forehead, revealing a pair of blue eyes that were as breathtaking as glaciers.

The thin and dense rain streaked behind him, turning into thousands of shining silver chains in the flowing firefly galaxy, dividing the gray-black rain curtain into pieces.

His tall figure was in the center of the light, walking towards her step by step.

Ling Yao had never seen so many fireflies, as if they wanted to light up her world.

At that moment, it was like thousands of stars falling.

It seemed like someone had said to her a long, long time ago that I hate when people cry in front of me.

So she always restrained herself from crying.

But at this moment, she seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, she ran out of the range of Xia Youjie's spell to block the rain, and ran towards the person who was walking towards her.

The rain hit his face, shivering with cold, but there was no moment when he wanted to run to his side so strongly, no moment was so intense.

His legs were so weak that he almost fell when he was about to reach him.

Gojo Satoru supported her, and before he could speak, someone rushed over and hugged her tightly in his arms.

There was a soft lump in his arms, still trembling, and then, he heard the little girl cry instantly, as if she had been wronged, "Why did you come...how did you find me... ..."
