(33) I will never forgive him

Xia Youjie didn't remember me and Edogawa Ranpo, after his eyes swept over us, he met with Yi Gu Yuta and Gou Juji.He held a dry and wrinkled ball in his finger, and the two students were very afraid of Xia Youjie and the round object in his hand.

"That's a baby mummy."

Edogawa crouched behind me in random steps and whispered.

Ok.

I answered in my heart, and led Edogawa Ranpo to withdraw quietly from Xia Youjie's sight.My intuition tells me that if I don't leave quickly, I may be forced to fight the boss in the game.

I only have a water gun filled with oil, and I don't have any other self-defense weapons at the moment.Now there are candles around, but if the entrance is blocked by people, the flames will be ignited at this moment, which is the ending waiting to be roasted.

I stared at the mummy—it was rusty red all over, curled up all over, and the hollow pupils seemed to be black and cloudy eyes opened at this moment.Maybe because I stared at it for a long time, I even saw that its little finger seemed to move a bit.And when I looked away, the mummy seemed to glance at me with black eyes.Even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I felt a chill of being stared at by prey brushing over my head.

Xia Youjie squinted his eyes, smiled and said, "Actually, I wanted to come and see the legendary super magic spirit "Lixiang".It's a bit disadvantageous for me to meet with Wu here. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already landed in front of Yi Gu Youtai.This speed is extremely fast, and it is similar to Wujo Wu, is it because of the power of the so-called magic spirit, or the magic power?

Xia Youjie was full of praise for the magic power possessed by Yigu Youtai, and began to brag about it like brainwashing—as if the entire magic world could not be separated from the key power of Yigu Youtai.

This second reminds me of the picture of the club recruiting new students when I entered Didan High School in the first year of high school.Whether it's a literary club or a sports club, each one seems to have been honed from a performing arts club. They have a brilliant tongue and can praise people as "the reincarnation of Ziwei Xing" or "Beckham II".This nonsensical tone made the freshman high school students exaggerate, as if they had a talent that only the seniors could see.

So, I thought, "Is there a shortage of people on the side of the Curse Master?"

"Student Yi Gu, have you ever thought about such a question—as a magician, as a strong person in this society..."

I don't know what Otoku Yuta thinks, but I'm a little surprised about one thing—why the "conjurer" is a strong person in this society.What kind of statistics and investigations did this conclusion come to?

"Darwin's pigeon experiment tells us that survival of the fittest is the true meaning of race reproduction since ancient times. However, in our society, the strong cannot live for themselves, but have to adapt to the small and despicable weak." The primate of all things actually stopped The pace of evolution*".Don't you feel there's something out of place here? "

I suddenly understood why anyone would want to complain.Because the other party's words are full of points that I want to correct, not to mention that the other party is using sophistry.Not wanting to get his attention, so I just kept silent.

The person before told me that "a capable person does nothing, this is the most stupid behavior".The reason why I say stupid is because I can stand out in that field and be famous for thousands of miles, but I avoid doing it. This is a waste of reputation, profit and wealth, and there are even a lot of "others' expectations". unattainable” possibility.But he didn't say it was "wrong" or "irresponsible".

Because the last person to do it is yourself.

There is a psychological gap because you can't get what you want, and you can push this gap to others or magnify it on social injustice.I think such people are nothing more than suffering from modern diseases, work pressure cannot be resolved by themselves, and they do not want to seek treatment from a psychologist.

Although the job of a conjurer is difficult and there are many unsatisfactory things to do, there are many important and difficult jobs in society.To take a recent example, Toru Amuro has not had an easy job.The country's laws on the protection of undercover agents are limited. Once some undercover agents make a principled mistake in an undercover organization, they cannot go back and continue to be policemen.

Yigu Youtai didn't talk to him and asked hypocritically: "What do you need me for?"

""Naturally kill ordinary people and create a world with only conjurers"*. "

As an ordinary person, I: "..."

As a famous detective, Edogawa Ranpo: "..."

In the next second, before I could see anything clearly, a strange gust of wind rushed from in front of me.Edogawa was walking behind me. It was not easy to hide, but it was impossible not to do anything.

At the same time that Edogawa and I barely dodged, a resounding "Blast it" also passed by.Then there was a hemispherical deep depression on the wall behind it, as if the alien that we couldn't see was blasted on the wall.

The dog curly thorn quickly guarded in front of us, and the scarf covering the chin has been pulled away at this moment, it is obvious that it was his voice just now.

As soon as Yi Gu Youtai saw this scene, he immediately pushed Xia Youjie's arm that was on his shoulder during the conversation, and said sharply: "I will not be with anyone who hurts my friend."

I subconsciously looked at Bone Youta.

His three views are not correct.

It cannot be judged because someone has done something against their own interests.When the other party's words are not correct, you should immediately understand your position.Do you want to nod when the other party says "I promise you, I won't hurt your friend, but you have to cooperate with me"?

While Yi Gu Youtai pushed away, Xia Youjie made a move to avoid the opponent's attack, even suspended in mid-air.

"You set up a tent here? "Otoko Yuta is now obviously used to many things about conjurers, and he can casually pop up industry terms that ordinary people don't understand. But judging from the semantics, it should roughly exist like an "enchantment" and won't let People easily notice the situation inside the enchantment.

Xia Youjie said: "Now is not the time to confront Wu, but it's enough to hold on for a minute."

After his words fell, the entire space became narrow, as if the entire wide hall had become a cramped train compartment during rush hour.

Otogu Yuta turned towards us and shouted anxiously, "Senior Ayanokōji."

He is a freshman.

I am a sophomore.

"Mr. Heranpo, be careful, the front of you! Up! And the back."

I feel like I need someone else's perspective.Now, my situation is to see two students fighting wits and courage against the air, and the surrounding furnishings also fall down one by one.At this time, Goujuu threw a pair of round plain glasses at me.

"Those are the glasses of the monastery." Yi Gu didn't have much time to explain, and said quickly, "You can see the spirit of the curse, and this continues!"

While he was talking, he threw the knife in his hand into my hand as an armor.

This is what he usually uses to store the magic spirit.

When I put on my glasses, it's as if I've fallen into the world of a Francis Bacon painting.The surrounding monsters are distorted and huge, and there is thick and muddy light and shadow in the narrow space.The spell creature closest to us, with its five excessively white eyes open, was drawn to the candles burning around the university student.

"I asked Lixiang to tear open the "curtain", and Ayanokōji-senpai and Ranpo-san rushed out first. "

Satoshi's name would sound like one of those mellow girlish images.

I have also heard that some curse spirits have the image of human beings, but when I saw them at a glance, they were more than two meters tall, with thick hair growing on half of their faces, and their upper body was a strong body that had been tempered in the gym. It is as wide as the waist of Yi Gu.

"……I see."

I took Edogawa Ranpo's arm and ran towards the exit. Fortunately, Edogawa Ranpo was not afraid, as long as he followed the instructions to escape, it would not be too easy.

The shape of the spell object is mostly related to invertebrates.At this moment, they will not only attack people who are moving, but also be attracted by the lights in the room.This shows that they don't just perceive the surroundings through their eyes, they probably make judgments because of light and shadow, animal body heat and animal secretions.

I handed the toy water gun to Edogawa Ranpo, and told him that whenever he saw a candle, he would pour a stick of pine oil to attract their attention.

With the help of Gou Juan and Yi Gu, the road leading to the exit became clearer.

Xia Youjie, who was sitting on the floating curse spirit, watched us struggle condescendingly. When he saw the curtain was torn open by the special magic spirit "Lixiang", he threw the baby mummy in his hand towards the curse spirit group .

"You hardworking juniors, I'll give you some more ingredients."

The baby mummy was only in mid-air, and it caused the curse spirit without spiritual knowledge and intelligence to go wild, as if it wanted to use light and shadow to print a totem of demons dancing wildly on the wall.

"Oops! Lixiang, grab it!" Yi Gu instantly understood what the consequences would be, and his nervous voice followed.

"Beng—cough cough cough" Gou Juan's voice had also become hoarse and difficult.

What overshadowed their voices was the excitement of the spell spirits scrambling to be the first, like hyenas being fed meaty bones.

I didn't want to pay attention at first, but I don't know when Edogawa Ranpo took a candle by the side.As he "watched the trick" softly and hard, the slender candle was lucky enough to hit the mummy directly, and the fire instantly stuck to the mummy like a sticker.

Edogawa's random steps were not enough, and he sprayed oil in the direction of the mummy.The strings of water are like Yi Gu and Gou Juan anxiously trying to hook the hands of the mummy, trying to get closer inch by inch.However, affected by gravity, accuracy and wind direction, the pine oil only sprayed on their backs, hair and the backs of their hands until the water gun fuel was exhausted.

Luanbu said, "Okay."

As soon as these words fell, the curse spirit who grabbed the mummy first turned into a fire beast in an instant.The raging fire was like an infectious disease, and one by one was wearing a fleece made of fire, roaring in pain.Seeing this scene, Xia Youjie's face sank immediately, and the murderous intent in his eyes stabbed towards Edogawa in disorder.

I saw him holding a leech-like but hundreds of times larger curse spirit in his hand.

This movement is actually not as fast as imagined, much slower than the calculation in my brain——

The maximum strength of a person's fist is only about 224 kg.But if it is hit by something that is shot with all its strength, the lethality is far beyond this value.

I threw the empty water gun into the air, and swung it in Xia Youjie's direction directly using the knife as a bat.

"An ordinary person's powerless swinging a bat..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, Xia Youjie fell off the curse spirit.But I don't have time to check his situation, so the top priority is to call Yi Gu and Gou Juan to escape from the torn tent first.

After getting out of the tent, we ran towards Gojo Satoru.He and Toru Amuro were surrounded by corpses.This corpse is a curse spirit, and they had only disappeared for a little while when they rushed to the scene.

Amuro said, "How are you doing?"

"We're fine, but Senior Ling Xiaolu seems to have broken Xia Youjie's forehead." Yi Gu touched his forehead as he said, as if I hit his forehead, and said fearfully and worriedly, " Will he die?"

"He said before that he was strong, and I believed him."

But if he lied to me and made me a murderer, I would never forgive him.

The author has something to say:

[small theater]

Ayanokouji: If he lied to me and made me a murderer, then I will never forgive him

Xia Youjie: …………………………………… (It’s still my fault, isn’t it?)
