'My... instinct? '

The curse spirit was a little puzzled.

"Yes, your instinct—the natural malice toward human beings."

Naturally... malevolent?

He finally realized the meaning contained in Aihara Qing's words.

'Stop joking, do you make me like humans?Protect humans? '

It's disgusting, just thinking about it makes me sick.

Even... His instinctive rejection of these words is more uncomfortable than killing him.

'Impossible, you die this heart. '

The expression of the curse spirit was as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a thousand flies.

'You really disgust me. '

extreme repulsion.

The mantra's reaction was within Aihara Qing's expectation, he smiled and shook his head.

"It's not what you think."

"Since the birth of the curse spirit, it has carried malice towards human beings. This is an established fact, and I cannot change it."

'Then what do you want? '

"I just want to restrain your behavior and try to teach you something."

'Constrain my behaviour? '

"Yes."

Turning his head sideways, Aihara Kiyoshi looked out the window at the sky covered by dark clouds.

It's going to rain soon.

"The magician wants to get rid of the curse spirit because your existence has caused great harm to human society. If you let it go, the consequences will be disastrous."

Just like Wujo Satoru said-they are evil, have no empathy, and are completely unworthy of sympathy.

so...

"If you continue to do evil, I will find a way to exorcise you without Gojo Wu's help."

"Before I was willing to teach you how to read, including saving you from him just now, it was only because you were just born and you haven't carried any sins on your body."

That time in the alley was the first time he did evil, but because the conjurer arrived in time, the woman was not injured.

Before that, the human-shaped curse spirits were hidden in Yokohama, learning various knowledge of human society and absorbing people's negative emotions to enhance their own strength.

Because it didn't have a large-scale impact, the conjurers didn't discover it until now.

"Then, since I saved you, I need to be responsible for your actions."

"I won't let you continue to do evil."

Otherwise, everything he does is meaningless.

"So, my condition is - do not harm innocent people."

......

port black

Akutagawa Ryunosuke received an order from the leader to assist the magicians from Tokyo in finding the humanoid magic spirit.

And - captured alive.

"Curse spirits... are things that only exist in urban legends..."

He looked at the sea, as if missing someone.

Regardless of whether such a monster exists, his Rashomon will all be crushed.

Teacher Dazai...

The conjurers mainly searched for Leibo Street, schools and hospitals.

These places are most likely to be born and attract spell spirits.

"Master Akutagawa!"

His men hurried over.

"what's up?"

"Traces of a humanoid curse spirit were found near the Yokohama Public Hospital!"

......

In the ward

'Thou shalt not harm the innocent? '

The mantra's naturally sharp intuition made him feel restless.

This condition is not unacceptable.

But just as disgusting.

Just the word "innocent" made him feel sick.

"Yes, don't hurt innocent people, other people... I don't care what you want to do."

"That's my condition. Whether you agree or not is up to you."

After all, Aiyuan Qing began to close his eyes and meditate.

He didn't seem to care about the curse spirit's answer.

Innocents...innocents...innocents...

The curse spirit was a little nervous, and began to habitually bite his knuckles.

Ah...innocents...disgusting...

In his eyes, all human beings are worthy of a painful death.

but......

Manu Ling handed the paper to Xiang Yuanqing again, and the pen tip rubbed against the paper to make a rustling sound.

'Make me stronger without hurting the innocent? '

In the final analysis, it was because he was not strong enough to be in this situation.

So...even if it's disgusting, even if it's against instinct, he can barely bear it.

Opening his eyes, Aihara Kiyoshi took the paper and placed it in front of his eyes.

"That's something you need to learn, to learn to discern who is really innocent."

How to distinguish between good and evil in the human world?

This is something that he can learn only after he puts himself into the position of human beings and learns human feelings and even various concepts and morals.

The conditions offered by this cunning human seem easy to accept.

In fact, this is the most direct subversion of the curse spirit's instinct.

The curse spirit's natural malice towards humans will drive him to contact humans and harm them.

But the bondage of not being able to harm the innocent will force him to discern the nature of the human beings before him before he can act.

Good or evil.

Going back and forth like this forced him to think.

someday...

His spell spirit will learn to 'love', the most wonderful feeling.

And how much power will a mantra spirit who has learned 'love' draw from it?

Probably nothing less than hatred.

Cunning humans seem to put the decision in the hands of the curse spirit.

But in fact, in front of him... from the very beginning, there was only one path.

'I accept. '

In order to survive, in order to become stronger obsession, Manu Ling had to make a compromise.

'The premise is that I want to become stronger than Gojo Satoru. '

"sure."

Aihara Kiyoshi's tone was very firm.

'If I don't get stronger, I'll kill you. '

"So, the bondage is established."

Lowering his eyelashes, Kiyoshi Aihara felt a rare pain in his conscience.

Yes, learning to distinguish the innocent is more difficult than learning to 'love'.

because......

Even human beings have no way to distinguish between true good and evil and absolute innocence.

This is conceptual in nature, a nihilistic product of the development of human civilization.

relativity

However, there is no doubt that the spirit will become stronger if it can draw strength from positive emotions.

Because, this means getting double the source of strength.

The premise of bondage is the truth of both parties, that is, there is no lie.

Bewitched by this tempting condition, the curse spirit is like Eve in the Garden of Eden, being lured by the snake to eat the fruit from the tree.

"Then, from now on, I will officially become your teacher."

'It's disgusting, the teacher called it that. '

Like a disobedient student.

However, Aihara Kiyoshi didn't care about the fact that the cat with its nails clipped didn't hurt or itch.

"Do you have a name?"

The mantra spirit that has produced wisdom and can communicate with people should have a name.

After a while, a word appeared on the paper.

'white'

He smiled and held out his hand to the mantra.

"Please teach me more in the future, Bai."

......

The conjurers have already set up tents in the hospital and are trying to evacuate irrelevant personnel.

The fluctuation of mana power made the human-shaped mantra named Bai become vigilant again.

"...conjurer."

Close your eyes, your long hair turns into filaments and winds to every corner of the hospital.

"Ah... so weak, those guys."

Turning his head, Manu Ling smiled at Xiang Yuanqing, and said softly: "If they try to kill me, then they are not innocent?"

He didn't care whether the man could hear him, and walked straight out of the ward.

"I'll come back to you after I kill them, teacher."

Sensing that the breath of the curse spirit was gradually disappearing, Ai Yuanqing lay on the hospital bed and sighed softly.

'The outside of the hospital was surrounded by conjurers, as well as port black people. '

The system reported in Aihara Qing's mind.

'I see, thank you. '

'Just let it go? '

"No problem, after all, there is a bondage..."

Aihara Qing was very relieved.

Because——distinguishing between good and evil is not as simple as the curse spirit thinks.

......

hospital lobby

A human-shaped curse spirit named Bai appeared in front of the magicians.

"Oh, are they all here to catch me? What a huge battle."

The appearance of the magic spirit made every magician present tense up.

"I'll just stand here, let's all go up together~"

Shiro opened his arms and made a gesture that seemed to welcome a hug.

He smiled, his expression very much like Aihara Kiyoshi.

The magicians didn't act immediately, they hesitated, fearing that this was a trick of the magic spirit.

"Oh~ are you so timid? It's really boring."

As soon as the words fell, the spell power turned into sharp blades, flying towards the magicians overwhelmingly.

However......

The blades seemed to have encountered some kind of barrier, and they were all blocked one millimeter away from the conjurers.

"Tsk... bondage?"

It's annoying.

The curse spirit retracted the blade.

False alarm, the conjurers looked at each other, and finally unified the attack signal.

At the same time, they launched their warlocks, attacking in the direction of the white-haired curse spirit.

Shiro raised the corners of his mouth, revealing sharp canine teeth.

The moment these people decide to attack and kill it.

——It is no longer an innocent person.

However......

"Extraordinary power - Rashomon!"

The thin young man stood against the light, and the supernatural power that was more terrifying than wild beasts formed a cage around the curse spirit.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke

Although he couldn't see the curse spirit, he used the conjurer to judge the location of the curse spirit, so as to capture it.

"The Port Mafia..."

This powerful and terrifying power made the magicians fearful.

"Hey! What are you doing? Why are you stopping us?"

Obviously, the top management has just reached a cooperation with them.

"The leader's order, capture the humanoid curse spirit alive."

Walking unhurriedly to the front of the cage, Akutagawa stared straight at the nothingness in front of him.

"Offenders...kill without mercy."

The situation fell into a stalemate for a while.

On the stairs, there were faint footsteps.

The crowd followed the sound.

I saw the black-haired young man wearing a long windbreaker, walking downstairs unhurriedly.

Under the open windbreaker, the hospital gown is clearly visible.

"Inducing the other party to act aggressively, even if you are hurt, you can't judge it, Bai."

The young man added with a smile: "It should be said that as a conjurer, exorcising the curse spirit, this kind of behavior does not consider other factors..."

"They're all innocent people, they're pretty fair."

Although for the curse spirit, they are the 'evil' side.

However, they have all saved many lives.

"Ah~ah~ I see, teacher, you really like to meddle in your own business."

The white-haired curse spirit shrugged helplessly.

"That means I can't attack them no matter what, right?"

"But teacher, they are bullying me now~ but I have no way to fight back."

Manu Ling pretended to be pitiful with an innocent expression on his face.

"They want to kill me, what should I do?"

Walking in front of the curse spirit, Aihara Qing stood beside the cage, smiled and said to the conjurer beside him: "Sorry, I can't hear what he is saying, can you please convey it to me?"

The answer, Aiyuan Qing had already given a humanoid spell named Bai.

Stay with me and get the right to live.
