The Law of the Heart of the Strongest Magician

By the time the movie was finished, it was already early morning.

Ling Yao's schedule has always been to go to bed early and get up early, especially the King of Gold, who strictly controls her regimen, so she never goes to bed late.

The idea of ​​watching a movie was suggested by Gojo Satoru.

Probably because she has been obedient for a long time, this kind of proposal is very tempting, so when she finished watching the movie, she was still a little bit excited and couldn't fall asleep at all, shouting to watch another one.

Gojo Satoru didn't listen to her at all, put the DVD away, and saw that she was still reluctant to leave, so he hugged her directly.

When he got to the door, he hugged her with both hands and couldn't open the door, "Ring the bell, open the door."

Ling Yao directly buried her head in his chest, refusing to communicate.

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows, he didn't care about this childish and meaningless act of dishonesty.

Put her down, open the door, and pick her up again.

The whole process was done in one go, and there was no chance for Ling Yao to react at all.

She put the bell back in her own dormitory, leaned against the door, and said with a smile: "It's too late, I can watch it again tomorrow, I'm going to sleep now."

The bell protested softly, "But I can't sleep..."

"If you can't sleep, let me sleep!"

"..."

Then, being stared at by Gojo Satoru, he washed up, got into bed, and lay down.

There was no room for negotiation in the whole process.

Not only was there no room for negotiation, but after she lay down, Gojo Satoru thoughtfully tucked in the corners of the quilt as if nailing a cage to death.

He said with a smile, "Go to bed early to grow taller."

The bell rang: "..."

The person who let her watch the movie must be Gojo Satoru.

Also made fun of her height.

Ling Yao closed her eyes, not wanting to look at him again, "I'm asleep."

"So--"

in the dark.

Gojo Satoru's voice was close to his ears, and it was infinitely amplified in the silence. His voice was low and soft: "Good night."

In the darkness after she closed her eyes, her sense of hearing was amplified. She heard the friction of Gojo Satoru's clothes when he stood up, the slight footsteps, and finally the sound of turning off the lights and the sound of the door closing.

Maybe it's because I was too excited to watch a movie before going to bed, and my brain couldn't calm down.

Images from movies always pop up in my mind, sometimes it is the scene of the girl playing with childhood sweethearts before she died, and sometimes it is the scene of promising to be with you forever when laughing, back and forth, it took a long time to calm down.

I didn't sleep very well this time.

Ling Yao had a very complicated dream, half-truth and half-false in the dream, mixed with reality and falsehood, and later, the protagonist of the perspective became herself, she saw that she was always following a person, and her eyes were always on On the other side, until later, she lay in the dust of the ruins where no one survived, closed her eyes and waited for death.

"The bell rings?"

Xia Youjie's voice brought Ling Yao's consciousness back to reality.

Her chin was supported, preventing her head from slamming heavily on the table.

Ling Yao opened her eyes, only to realize that she had fallen asleep unknowingly while doing her homework.

Facing Xia Youjie's gentle gaze, Ling Yao felt a little guilty for no reason, "I'm sorry... I was distracted just now."

Xia Youjie smiled, "Did you not sleep last night?"

"Well... I was dreaming last night, and I felt very tired after waking up. I was woken up by Wu to do my homework this morning, and I have not been very energetic." She spoke in a softer voice, afraid of being blamed.

I always feel that if I accidentally fall asleep while doing my homework, I will definitely be blamed.

But unexpectedly, Xia Youjie still smiled gently, "He shouldn't have dragged you to watch a horror movie last night. The next time you watch a movie, let's watch something more relaxing and interesting."

"I didn't feel scared... I don't know how to describe that feeling, it seems to be fear, but the fear does not come from the ghosts or bloody pictures in the film, but the constant... suffocation? Yes, it is like the feeling of suffocation , being tightly entwined by something and unable to breathe."

Ling Yao explained: "I seldom have anything to be afraid of. In fact, the ghosts in movies are people's imagination after all, but the curse spirits are real. I have seen many curse spirits. I think they A hundred times scarier than ghosts."

Xia Youjie listened quietly, and smiled a little after she finished speaking, "Indeed, curses are a hundred times more terrifying than ghosts, because they are real, and their harm to ordinary people is also real."

Ling Yao noticed his words, she said that cursed spirits were more terrifying than ghosts, while what Xia Youjie said was a curse.

She asked, "Is there any difference between a curse and a curse?"

"Didn't Enlightenment tell you?" he asked.

She shook her head.

Look dazed.

Xia Youjie sighed silently, a little helpless, "What did Wu tell you? About spells?"

Ling Yao thought about it carefully for a long time, but it seemed that... she had no memory at all.

Xia Youjie looked at the way the bell shook and thought hard, and then thought of Gojo Wu's style of forgetting to put down his account when doing tasks by himself. He probably guessed that Wujo Wu might not have mentioned it at all, so he smiled helplessly: "Then let me tell you."

He said slowly: "The relationship between curse spirits and curses is similar to that of subsets. Have you learned subsets in your middle school mathematics class?"

"..."

It took a long time for Ling Yao to answer in a very low voice: "Yes."

"Then you should understand?"

Ling Yao: "...um."

It was not difficult for Xia Youjie to sense the lack of confidence in Ling Yao's tone, and he couldn't guess the reason for a while, so he asked, "Why is the tone so uncertain?"

It took a while for Ling Yao to honestly admit: "I...math scores are not very good."

Hearing this, Xia Youjie laughed.

He had a nice smile, light and faint, without a hint of ridicule or blame, and not as sharp as Gojo Satoru, but Ling Yao still felt very embarrassed, and kept her head down without saying a word.

Xia Youjie took her pen for homework, turned over a page of draft paper, and drew a circle, "Those with obvious cursive power can be collectively called curses, and then, they can be specifically divided into curse tools, curses, and curses." Objects, spells."

He drew a few small circles in that circle in turn, and marked them with spell tools, spell objects, spell spirits and others, which were clear at a glance.

"It looks like this, can you understand a little?"

His voice was gentle and calm, in the heat of midsummer, like the sound of a leisurely flute, even the restlessness of the heat was calmed down.

Ling Yao nodded, "En."

She suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Then the kind you use... is called magic power?"

Xia Youjie smiled lightly, "Yes."

"Is the power of mantra inborn? Because I feel that people with mantra power seem to be rare. Before I met Wu, I had never seen this kind of person." She thought for a while and added: "Grandpa Jin I should have seen it before, his clan spreads all over the country from all walks of life, otherwise there is no way to send me to a high school... But I was too naive before and rarely talked to him, so I didn't have the opportunity to hear him mention it .”

"It's natural. Only conjurers can see the curse, but ordinary people can't. Therefore, not many people know about the curse."

"Are people with spell power called conjurers?"

Xia Youjie smiled and shook his head, "No, there are also cursers. Evil magicians are called cursers."

"Does evil mean that it hurts ordinary people?"

"Yes."

Ling Yao looked down at the draft book, the subset circle that Xia Youjie drew for her just now, slowly digested the content, then exhaled in a puzzled tone: "Why is there such a curse master?"

Xia Youjie didn't understand the little girl's question, "What?"

Ling Yao frowned, "Everyone is working hard to protect others, whether it is the king carrying the sword of Damocles or the conjurer manipulating the magic power, everyone is doing their best to protect the world." Without preparing to dedicate everything, everyone is working hard to protect this world, why would someone want to destroy this kind of peace and become a curse master, what exactly is it trying to do?"

She looked at Xia Youjie, her dark eyes were filled with bewilderment from the bottom of her heart, "Those who became curse masters, why are they?"

The little girl's eyes were as dark as midnight, with fine eyelashes, and there was childishness in the slightly childish daze.

She looked at him, waiting for an answer from him.

Xia Youjie was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ling Yao to ask such a question. He thought for a while, but he was afraid that Ling Yao would not understand, so he tried to speak plainly, "In the final analysis, curse masters are also human beings. Selfishness, interests, or reasons of one kind or another, they just put their selfishness on the more important side of the balance."

"..."

The little girl was still frowning, thinking hard, as if she still couldn't understand.

Sure enough, after a while, she raised her head and said stubbornly: "I still feel that there is no selfishness, which can be more important than responsibility."

Xia Youjie looked at her childish face and said such firm words, he couldn't help laughing, "It's good that you think so."

"I think I can answer your question now." She said suddenly.

Xia Youjie was taken aback, "Huh? Which question?"

Obviously, he didn't remember what the little girl said without thinking.

Ling Yao looked serious, repeating the last scene: "It was the day you sent me home, we were at the station, and someone was fighting. I asked you if you wanted to stop them, but you asked me—"

She looked at Xia Youjie, and spoke slowly, "What if the person you save is not worthy of being saved? What if the person you save hurts other people? If you save him, you will be killed." the people he hurt."

"You still ask me, my ability is to save people, but if my saving is meaningless, then why do I need to save people?"

"..."

Xia Youjie was silent and did not speak.

His expression remained unchanged, and his long, smooth hair was tied into a ball at the back of his head, adding a bit of softness to his face.But his gentleness at this moment is like condensed air, condensing into fog on the cold glass window.

"I think I can answer now." Ling Yao hurriedly opened her book, looking for the page she recited a few days ago.

Gojo Wu was going to do a mission elsewhere today, and he probably wouldn't be back until tomorrow, so he entrusted the bell to Xia Youjie. In addition to telling him not to starve the little girl to death, he also solemnly told him that he must supervise her for endorsement.

However, Ling Yao herself was quite self-conscious, before he reminded her, she had already opened the book and memorized it.

Now, she was rummaging through the book she had memorized.

After searching for a while, she didn't seem to find it, so she got up and went to the bookcase to look for it again.

She was eager to explain, and she was not tall enough, so she bounced around for a while before finding the book she was looking for.

When he found it, he stuffed it into his hand.

The expression was extremely serious: "You must read it, and you must recite the outlines in it. I will check it tonight, and give me a reading note on the weekend."

Xia Youjie: "Huh?"

The book was placed directly in his hand, with a heavy weight.

Also, the little girl's serious appearance and slightly childish eyebrows and eyes, because of her serious appearance, make people think that she should be joking, but when she is serious, even her eyebrows and eyes are competing, people know that she said These times, there is no joke at all.

Although, she couldn't help laughing at what she said.

He flipped through the book, and there were traces of underlines on it when the little girl memorized it. He pretended to be distressed: "Do I have to memorize it?"

The bell shook very seriously, "You must memorize it, and you must write notes for reading."

He couldn't help laughing, "Why?"

Ling Yao: "People can do wrong things, but they can't make mistakes in their thinking. Whether their thinking is correct or not determines whether they are willing to repent after doing wrong things. As long as the belief remains unchanged, there is no need to be afraid of doing wrong things. Just do what you want to do." Do it, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong, even if you make the wrong choice, you will get back on track."

"Recently, Grandpa Huang forced me to memorize a lot of books and learned a lot of truths. This is my understanding and my answer."

She pursed her lips, looked at him with a childish face, and wrote solemn things: "I don't know why you would ask such a question, maybe I encountered something at a loss, I might not be able to be a listener, Because I may not be able to understand... But I hope that you can find your own direction."

"..."

The sun slanted in.

Outlining the outline of Xia Youjie's figure into a semi-dark light and shadow, he smiled silently in the light.

Ling Yao grabbed his sleeve, raised her face and confessed again: "Be sure to memorize it, I will really check it at night."

Xia Youjie raised his eyes, with a faint smile in his eyes, in a playful tone: "What if I don't recite it?"

"..."

Ling Yao thought for a while, then asked sincerely: "Do you think I can beat you?"

Xia Youjie finally couldn't help laughing, it was a smile from the heart.

He rubbed Ling Yao's head and said gently: "I understand, I will recite it."
