Curse this wonderful world

48: [The Curse of 48]

Did Mr. Congressman kill someone?

The answer is certainly yes.

In front of Shen Yu, all concealment and lies are meaningless.Mr. Senator wanted to quibble at first, but after wasting another bullet, Fukaha soon became impatient.

Although she still has enough bullets in stock, she is a little annoyed that she has to bother with Nitro every time.

"You don't think you'll be fine if you don't tell me, do you?" The girl tilted her head, "Or is it because I heal you every time, that you have the illusion that I really won't kill you?"

"Uuuuuuuu!!"

"Well, then you really guessed right. Our conjurers only kill curse masters. I really don't know how to kill ordinary people." At least, I will never kill ordinary people in front of my peers.Shen Yu thought about it, and then laughed, "But Mr. Murderer is not a human being, right? A bastard who has killed innocent people must have the consciousness of being killed by others."

"And~" Fukaha narrowed his eyes, approached Mr. Senator's ear, and whispered as if whispering something. "Even if I don't do it, tortured and killed the two call girls and took a video of the congressman who hid it in the safe, aren't you afraid that you will be eaten by the beautiful big sister's wraith at night when you are alone at home? You said ~ if the big sisters come to you tonight, will the gentleman behind you who helped you smooth out the traces and gag you with money come to rescue you in person?"

She said, and made a very cute cat action, and then saw the middle-aged man wide open in horror, and gradually filled with deep despair and graying red eyes, and giggled.

What happened next was like watching a movie for Xia Youjie.

Nitro's cell phone recorded Mr. Congressman's statement.Shen Yu quickly cleaned up the blood and bullet casings on the ground.Five notifications for moths to call the police.Because Gaozhuan had a lot of cooperation with the police, and the people involved in the case were special, Noctuid's phone call was highly valued. In just a few minutes, a police car drove all the way to the scene with its horn.After withdrawing the [account], Gojo Satoru pinched the arm of the unscathed Mr. Congressman except for his pale face—despair and blood loss—with one hand, and threw him roughly to the front police.

It is really useless.

When the police car drove away again, Fukaha looked in the direction of the taillights of the car and dialed the number of her contact person in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Compared with "Japan's safety and security", I believe that no matter who the supporter of this congressman is, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not let her down.

Ah, at this time, I felt that Dazhu's alternate status was really useful.Today is also a day to thank Kurosawa Koki and the main office of the shrine.

And when she hung up the phone, she turned around to see Xia Youjie with a complicated face.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Although he knew that Shen Yu could [see], Xia Youjie still chose to ask, "I can also look at my phone."

Is it because he is afraid that he will not agree with such an approach?Xia Youjie thought that although he was indeed taken aback by Shen Yu's sudden action, if he had been told in advance that it was because of this reason, he would not be so rigid about his methods.

However, it was not Fukaha who answered him.

"I told Xiaobudianer not to tell you first." Gojo Wu came over, habitually reached out and put his hand on Shen Yu's shoulder, looked at Xia Youjie and shrugged. "Because you're so upright, Jay."

"What do you mean?" Xia Youjie frowned.

"Literally." The matter was settled, the annoying garbage was packed away, and Gojo Satoru's mood improved visibly.He casually picked up a bunch of girl's black hair, and while playing with the ends of her hair, he explained: "Based on what the little one saw. The reason why that guy rushed in and spouted nonsense is because he is mentally ill."

"It means that he really is the kind of guy who thinks he's great and makes two to five or eighty thousand people look down on him," Shen Yu interjected.

"Secondly, he has a guilty conscience." Gojo Satoru didn't care about Shen Yu's interruption, and continued to speak at his own pace.

"I guess I asked someone in private after the last time, learned the meaning of the curse, and thought of the source. Immediately, I felt guilty and scared. But I have already entrusted the high school, and it is too late to revoke the entrustment."

"And the upper management attaches great importance to this guy's entrustment, and they couldn't wait to call us here—this group of rotten oranges did a good thing unintentionally this time. This guy is afraid of being discovered by us, so he is so excited."

As he said that, he suddenly laughed, "Ha, Jie, do you know? The little guy said that this guy heard the information about [Six Eyes] somewhere, and he was afraid that I would find some clues! It's so funny! He What do you think the six eyes are? X-ray or MRI?"

"Maybe you thought you were a fluorescent searchlight with a luminol reaction. After all, he was the one who killed in this house."

Seeing that Gojo Satoru unconsciously began to braid her hair, Fukaha quickly pulled the hair out of his hands while still interrupting. "The more people who don't understand, the more they blow up [Six Eyes], don't you know it best?"

——Speaking of which, why can he braid three strands with one hand?Is the strongest even hand so clever?

Gojo Satoru didn't care, Fukaba let go of his hand as soon as he pulled, "So half-baked is half-baked. Well~ Although it's not completely wrong." Although it's not completely wrong, after all, if the deceased left behind before death If strong negative emotions are transformed into mana and linger at the place of death, he can indeed see it.

But this kind of thing doesn't matter.Gojo Satoru looked at Xia Youjie and continued the topic.

"So, that trash rushed over to find trouble. The little one said that he wanted to get rid of us quickly. After all, conjurers don't have the power to enforce the law, and what the little one sees can't be used as evidence."

"You also heard his confession just now. This guy has done a thorough job of destroying the body. The only thing that can be counted as evidence was hidden in the safe. The few things that could barely be regarded as witnesses were also stuffed with money. Threatening to gag, it is impossible to stand up and accuse. The dead are people who don’t even care about their disappearance. As long as we leave and he destroys the last evidence, no one can do anything about him.”

"Even if high-level government officials know about mantras and spiritual powers, it's impossible to use 'things that only some people can see' as evidence." He tilted his head as he said, "Didn't it also be said in yesterday's TV series? , In the current judicial system, even if a prisoner surrenders himself, it will not be counted if there is not enough evidence."

Xia Youjie understood completely now.He looked at the two classmates with complicated eyes, and then turned to look at the family who was talking about something with the night moth. He thought it was the same as here, and he was repeating the situation that he didn't fully explain just now.

There is a little loneliness of being excluded from the plans of friends and classmates, but more pride.Xia Youjie's brows finally relaxed, and he completed Wutiao Wu's words from the perspective of his own understanding.

"So, you guys agreed that I and Noctua would draw the firepower, and Wu Moth suddenly made an attack on you, and Shen Yu signaled me to let Noctua chase after you. You left, that guy must have breathed a sigh of relief. So when that guy relaxed , Nitrate under the [tent] Shen Yu to extract a confession, and you happened to take this opportunity to tell the night moth about it."

"BINGO!" Gojo Satoru nodded and laughed.But he quickly said again: "However, Jie, not telling you is not just to let you attract firepower. Although it does need you and Noctua to contain it, after all, it takes a little time for the little one to collect information."

"But the main reason is that you are too upright. If you knew what this trash did at that time, you must not be able to control your expression, right? So I told Xiao Budian not to tell you first."

Shen Yu also added on the side, "Xia You, don't look at how angry he looks. That guy is an old fritter. Although he is a little flustered, his inner psychological activities are very clear. He is very purposeful. He has been They all know what they are doing. If you reveal your secrets, he will definitely find out if he stands close."

Rather, playing politics can kill people, destroy corpses and destroy evidence, and people who don't let go after being shot, how could they be really angry?

"Ah..." Indeed.

Xia Youjie let out a breath and finally laughed.Relieved and relieved, there is still a little unreal feeling of going out to do a mission and seeing the students of the same level cooperate with each other to play a cameo detective.In the end, it all boiled down to a sort of proud rejoicing.Thanks to the wit and cooperation of his classmates.Otherwise, the two lives would really be buried in darkness forever.

And deep feathers.Mr. Senator has always been afraid of Wu's six eyes, but he did not expect that he really found a "once and for all" witch for himself.

"Of course, this witch is a serious clergyman." Shen Yu also curled the corner of her mouth, "If you say once and for all, it will be once and for all. I heard that there are powerful spells in prisons to suppress it. I think Mr. Senator don't have to be afraid to hear any strange noises. .”

"Xia You, Wutiao~" The voice of Nitzi came from a distance, "What are you doing? Get ready to go."

"Here we come." Wujo Wu replied, let go of Shen Yu and took the lead in striding over.

Xia Youjie and Shen Yu were side by side, and they also took steps.Looking at Gojo Wu's back, Xia Youjie narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yu raised his head.

"It's nothing." Xia Youjie smiled and shook his head, "I'm just thinking, Wu's filter is thick enough." It's too honest.How could it be that exaggerated?On the other hand, I realized that a person who is usually so afraid of trouble can suppress his temper and cooperate with Shen Yu to uphold justice for a stranger this time, which is great.

However, Shen Yu shook his head, "It's not."

"Ok?"

"It is true that you are too upright." Also too gentle.Shen Yu didn't say the rest of the sentence, just looked at him and continued: "Let's not talk about what Xia You, Nitzi and Wujo think, what happened today is probably very rare for you, but for me, It's not a coincidence at all."

"...Deep Feather?"

"I can [see]. So, have you ever thought about it? I think it's easy to find hidden crimes. Killing is probably less common." It's not that rare, like in Yokohama. "But other things like petty theft, injury, obscenity, dereliction of duty, and bribery can be [seen] even if you are just walking on the road."

Rather, I can't finish watching it at all.

"..." Xia Youjie stopped in his tracks.

"So, if I want to, I can become a very good detective." Fukaha also stopped, turned around, and looked him straight in the eyes, "But, I won't do that. Even today, I will go through the trash Mr. Congressman, I want to send him to prison because he is so annoying. Whether it is his attitude towards you or his words, I hate him very much."

So, just pure willfulness.

"So, I'm just taking revenge on him."

And the so-called justice is just a by-product of her revenge.She's an ex-Mafia raised by the Mafia, so of course she's not a good person with integrity.She can do whatever she wants, self-willed and self-centered.

However, Xia Youjie was different.

"But, you know it, right?" Although Fukaha said interrogative sentences, Fukaha did not use a questioning tone at all.Just like Wujo Wu said, Xia Youjie was too upright.Even if he has a small problem of being complained about by the nitrous, the 15-year-old Xia Youjie is indeed a very upright, gentle, and empathetic person—if not for this, everything that happened in the summer of cicadas would not have happened.

"You are someone who will act for others."

Xia Youjie stopped talking.

Deep Feather laughed.Without looking at Xia Youjie's expression again, she turned around and looked at the tall and green plants trimmed along the wall of the villa garden, and the clear blue sky above those beautiful trees.

"Conjurers protect non-conjurers—I heard that at that time. Xia You, I think your idea is amazing. I'm not joking. I really think you are amazing for thinking like this. But, not everyone Non-spells are worth protecting, right? Like this one today? Xia You, do you think we need to protect such rubbish?"

She looked up at the sky, and said something that was not cute at all in a very cute voice.

"To be honest, if it were me, I wouldn't save him if I saw such a guy being eaten by a curse spirit right in front of my eyes."

"...What exactly do you want to say?" Xia Youjie's Adam's apple went up and down, and he frowned.

——I probably want to say, I hope you can be more selfish.

——Just care about the people you want to care about, and protect the people you want to protect.If you could think like that, wouldn't it be...

She had thought many times that if she could stand in front of this person and communicate on such a topic, she must tell him so.However, when this day really came, facing Xia Youjie's question at this moment, Shen Yu just smiled and shook his head.

"It's nothing, just talk casually." She squinted her eyes and tilted her head, "Maybe it's just a little... feeling it?"

As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue, turned her face away, and showed her usual carefree and playful expression. "But this kind of topic is really not suitable for me. Anyway, everything is OK after the matter is resolved. Xia You~ Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he planned to speed up and pass him,

However, a hand grabbed the girl's hand.

"But, after all, such people are in the minority, right?"

"!" Shen Yu turned around.

Whether you will commit a crime has nothing to do with whether you have magic power or not.Ordinary people without magic power will kill people, and people with magic power will also become curse masters.If you generally define your philosophy as protecting the weak, that is, non-magicians, such an unspecified majority will inevitably be like today, and as Fukaba said, they are not worthy of protection—it is even better to say that death is more satisfying. of human scum.

Of course Xia Youjie knew this truth - he was a 15-year-old magician, not a 5-year-old kindergarten baby.

However, these are two different things.

"In this world, most ordinary people are still kind and peaceful existences. They have nothing wrong with them, they just live an ordinary life. Just because they don't have the power to resist the curse spirit, they are always in danger of encountering misfortune—if we If you don't protect them, who will protect them?"

The mantra is weak and the spirit of the mantra cannot be seen, and the victim is unaware even if the god of death is behind him.Survivors who can barely see but can't get rid of, can't even escape because of fear, and can only watch their relatives and friends being devoured in front of their eyes.A tragic death, but because of the malice born in this death, he indirectly became the victim of the perpetrator.

——It is precisely to curb and reduce the above tragedies that conjurers are needed, and you should also understand this point.

"So, we conjurers can't treat the group of 'ordinary people' as individual individuals." Xia Youjie looked at the girl with black hair and black eyes, his brows slightly frowned, but his expression was not serious.On the contrary, there was a helpless wry smile between his brows.

"Fukaba, I think what you said is right. If it were a person like today, even I wouldn't want to save him. However, not every conjurer can [see] like you. And it would be too selfish and arrogant to choose and judge who should be saved and who should not be saved according to one's own standards."

Reaching out his hand to gently hold the girl's cheek, he bent down, looked straight into her eyes, and said in a gentle tone as if explaining to a stubborn and angry child.

"If I don't know that the congressman has killed someone, I will save him no matter how annoying he is."

——This is what it means for me to become a conjurer.

"Ah..." Shen Yu blinked, [looked at] those black eyes that were close at hand.

—He was completely mistaken.

--but……

"You do, think so..."

"Yes." Xia Youjie nodded, and smiled helplessly, "Since we have this power, we must do something."

However, although his expression is gentle, there is an extremely strong will in his words and voice.

——Sure enough, no way.

Shen Yu thought, just like she thought, persuasion is useless.Because the "now" Xia Youjie chose this "meaning" on the premise of clearly knowing what human nature is.And the meaning he chose is irrefutable-no matter when, where and under what circumstances, the matter of "protecting the weak" is "absolutely correct" and "justice".

——That's why I said, if only you could be more selfish...

——Whether it is now, or...

As she was thinking this, Xia Youjie suddenly smiled.

"But, you don't have to."

"Eh?" Shen Yu raised her head and saw Xia Youjie smiling gently.There was pity in his eyes, he straightened up suddenly, and hugged the petite girl tightly in his arms.

Shen Yu took a breath, and heard a voice from above her head.

"Shen Yu just needs to do what you want. Or, you just need to save the person you want to save. I believe in you. You are the one who can really make judgments." He said, hugging her He tightened his grip even more, stroking her back with one hand like soothing a child.

——When you hold her like this, you will feel that this is clearly just a girl who is smaller and slender than her peers.

——It wasn't until today that he truly felt the weight of the ability to "see" from her words for the first time.

"It's hard. Thank you for your hard work." Xia Youjie could only find such a superficial vocabulary - he didn't even know if it could be considered comfort to the girl.However, he still wanted to convey this feeling to her, "Fukaha is great. Very, very good. She is really very cute and a very good girl."

what--

The heart seemed to be hit by something, and Fukaba's breathing paused.Her hands hang down stiffly by her sides, the girl is surrounded by a firm embrace and high body temperature, and through a thin layer of fabric, there is a calm and powerful agitation that does not belong to her.

That clear agitation was like pumping the emotion in his words into her body, and it spread into her chest along with the tightly embraced embrace, beating her heart one after another.

this person……

Shen Yu's long eyelashes trembled twice, and she suddenly wanted to reach out and hug him back—just a hug, she just needs to hug him...

As she thought so, she moved her fingertips slightly.Just at this time, the urging sounded again in the distance.

This time, it was Gojo Satoru: "Hey! Jie! Little one! What the hell are you doing? You're going to hug me back! I'm starving to death! If you don't leave, we'll leave first!"

The black-haired girl immediately stopped her movements as if awakened from a start.As soon as she pushed away the tall student of the same grade, she looked up and made a face at him.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Slightly slightly~ It's so boring! I don't want to discuss serious topics with you!" As she spoke, she turned around and ran towards Gojo Satoru who was standing beside the car with a displeased face.

"I'm coming!"

"What are you doing? So slow!"

"There is nothing~"

He looked at the girl who ran to Wujo, apologizing and flattering her with a smile on her face.Xia Youjie shrugged and followed.

——Obviously she was the one to discuss first, right?

—Well, but, forget it.This is also very good.Rather, this is Shen Yu.

A soft smile flitted across his eyes.Sure enough, she is still the cutest looking lively.
