K-type Mage

"He's a monster," said Maestro.

"Wrong." Eun said.

"He is human," Nyarlathotep said.

The images projected in mid-air flicker in the dark room, and it is very obvious that it revolves around the black-haired youth named "Yuan Shen" on the basis of "overall view".

The curse spirit of the different eyes has a similar appearance to human beings because of the nature of its birth, but it is still completely different.For example, after knowing that the brain flower companion who occupied the human body was cheated by the partner, when faced with the invitation of "want to see what happens?", he readily agreed.

"Yuen." The real person called out the partner's name, and tilted his head curiously, "Is Yuanshen fun?"

"It's fun." You En nodded briskly for such an ordinary question, but it was particularly scary because of the subject. Considering their real identities, the communication between the two guys seemed a bit "congenial". Subtle meaning - don't care about human beings.

"Can I play too?" the real person continued to ask, like a child asking for a toy from others, "I really want to play."

"I refuse." Eun said, his expression became stern, as if he was angry just hearing such a request, "Even if I lose interest, I won't give him up to other guys."

"That's really decisive, Eun." The real person complained, "Aren't we partners?"

"It's just a temporary cooperation." The dark-skinned curly-haired young man smiled slightly, his gentleness replaced the previous sternness, and his words were like the persuasion of an elder. "Isn't your goal a good game?"

"Huh ha ha ha..." Manu Ling laughed, "It is indeed a very interesting game."

The black-haired young man who cannot be seen on the screen sat silently on the sofa, his expression was so sad and joyless that he looked like a stone sculpture.

Makoto was drawn to the attention again.

"I like the look on his face," he said. "It's so different from the normal smile—you're copying him, right? Or is he copying you?"

"Who knows." You En smiled softly, "But he really likes me with an optimistic smile."

"It's so pitiful. You lied to him." The curse spirit, who didn't understand human feelings at all, let out a pretentious exclamation and pity, "He hates you."

Yoon's smile couldn't help but widen.Maybe it's because of the judgment of the curse spirit, or maybe it's because the young man in the picture raised his eyes to look at the void at the same moment, and seemed to be looking at him across time and distance, and there was still no wave of calm in the dark pupils.

The real person saw those eyes.The curse spirit has never felt the temperature and environment that affect human beings, but at this moment a certain sense of being seen through and suppressed is coming: he trembled uncontrollably, as if seeing the biological instinct of a natural enemy.

Aware of this, he fell into deep thought, and vaguely understood why the "partner" paid attention to each other.

"...what kind of him do you want to see?" he asked.

You En looked at him with a little surprise, as if he hadn't expected that this curse spirit could catch the point, but soon there was a pure smile filling his brows and eyes: "It's hard to say." He crossed his legs and turned his gaze back to Looking at the young man who has bowed his head in the picture, "I know everything about him, but I want to see him become what I don't want to be."

"Very evil words were spoken." The real man sighed hypocritically thoughtfully, "I wish you success, Eun."

"I would like to borrow your good words." When You En said this answering sentence, the image of light emitting in the midair suddenly flashed, and then went out in the next moment.

The space was plunged into complete darkness.

"I'm impatient." Youn shrugged and stood up from the chair, "Then I'll go first, remember to speak nice words for me in front of Mr. Maoshu."

"I will." The real person is still stuck in the chair, looking into the void, "And I won't be angry, Mao Shu likes you as a partner very much."

You En smiled slightly, did not respond to this, opened the door and walked out, and disappeared.

***

Nyarlathotep has always been able to find people's weaknesses, perhaps the most understanding guy in the world.

Yuan Shen withdrew his gaze, he didn't see the naive face on the other side, but he was sure that he met the other's eyes.

Greedy guy.

He lowered his eyes to the ground, and heard the conversation of the group of best friends in his ears. As a super conjurer, he noticed something was wrong very quickly. ——To be precise, Wujo Wu is now in his second reincarnation, and Xia Youjie is in his first reincarnation.

The former already has guesses, the latter is just a little confused.

As [Yuen], the deity gained the friendship, trust and guilt of the traverser.

So what does he want to see now?get what?

Yuan Shen silently stretched out his mental tentacles to seize control of this projection space.Surprisingly not hindered.

Still a test.With such a judgment, he almost wanted to leave everything behind and fall asleep again.

It's a troublesome and scary thing to have to know your enemy.Falling in love and killing each other... It's really bloody and clichéd.

The other party was testing his bottom line, testing his current appearance.But He knew it.

Put on a show.Every step of the way.

Yuan Shen took a deep breath in his heart, and his mental tentacles moved the time, allowing the space to enter the night.

People don't notice it.

So when the man with glasses faced the crisis of life and death, Wujo Gojo and Xia Youjie stopped the "assailant".

Masako was quietly thrown onto the tiled wall of the bathroom by Xia Youjie's spell.The boss quietly walked through the wall and appeared outside the door.

The man in glasses didn't die, but he fainted from the shock of the brief attack.The rest of the guests were not woken, but one door was still open.

Yuan Shen stood up slowly, took out the registration form with only his name left from the counter, and walked up the stairs.

When the extraordinary ordinary people saw him, their shocked eyes appeared for a moment.He quickly covered it up again, silently and carefully avoiding this "stranger" like an ordinary person, and walked cautiously to the end of the corridor where there was no movement.

"Masako." The black-haired young man who appeared in the sight of the two young men called out the maid's name calmly and gently. He lost his composure under his gaze, and turned away in embarrassment and embarrassment, trying to cover his face.

Wujo Wu and Xia Youjie looked at him in surprise. They lost their memories of the last time and were confused by his appearance, but they didn't speak.

The boss didn't speak.

Yuan Shen, who was in the center of the line of sight, stood there with a gentle tone, and said, "It's over long ago, Masako."

"..." Masako, who knew that covering up was useless, looked directly at him, sad and painful, "But I'm still here." She said, "I woke up again because of you."

"I'm sorry." Yuan Shen said this, dry to the point of perfunctory, but he couldn't express his apology with exaggerated language, because he couldn't express it at all, "...I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize." Masako said, "I know this is not what you expected." She smiled, "I didn't have the chance before, but now I can finally tell you."

"I am very grateful for your company. It is my honor to meet you as if I believed in a god."

The woman who smiled with tears in her eyes, even though her face was destroyed, was devout to the point of incomparable beauty.

"If you come to finish it, I will be very happy." She closed her eyes, calmly showing her willingness to be slaughtered.

So her god granted the wish.

Xia Youjie took back the curse spirit that bound her body when Masako looked at Yuan Shen. Under the gaze of others, her body gradually became transparent, and the smile on her face was also tinged with reassuring joy.

When Masako's figure completely disappeared, the whole hotel trembled.The wind and rain outside the museum had stopped at some point, including the man with glasses, and those from the tour group also quietly disappeared into the room.

There are only five people left.

The boss didn't disappear.He smiled and said, "It seems that you are in trouble."

Yuanshen turned to look at him, spread his hands, and faded away those indifferent and gloomy emotions, he became clear again, and said: "Want to go with me? Help me take care of a child."

"I'm just a fragment." The boss spread his hands like him, and took a step towards him, changing from a middle-aged man into a black crow, "Let's go, let me meet the child you like." It flapped its wings and landed on the young man's shoulder.

The trembling in the hotel still didn't stop, Yuanshen stroked the crow's feathers, looked at the others, and said in a relaxed tone, "You guys should remember this too."

The next moment the hotel disappeared, the faces of the other three became ugly and terrifying in every sense.They recall and realize that they were caught in samsara without knowing it.

The sky was deep black, and after the valley and the lake disappeared along with the hotel, it became an empty, dry meadow.

The black-haired young man with a crow resting on his shoulder stood there, with a smiling, indifferent expression, when the "ordinary man" retreated, because of the black passage that appeared beside him, it became a little weird.

The "ordinary person"—that is, the brain-shaped curse spirit occupying the human body, judged the situation very quickly, even if he was hesitant because of the passage that appeared just right, he jumped in decisively.

Yuan Shen did not stop.

Wujo Wu and Xia Youjie had never seen a brain wave, and had no way of knowing that the other was a curse spirit, but at that moment, they did see the abnormal suture on the other's forehead.

"Mr. Yuan, who is that?" Gojo Satoru asked casually, he was still very upset about the fact that he was so easily hidden from memory.

The same is true for Xia Youjie, whether it is the strength far surpassing his peers or the self-confidence and self-esteem that the boy has not dissipated until now, they all feel unhappy.

"Ah..." Yuan Shen said slowly, "It's probably You En's "partner". He said, "I was cheated." "

"Trapped?"

"Correct."

"...a unilateral partner."

"Hahahahaha! No wonder it has that kind of expression!"

It seemed like it was over.

***

"I thought you would be free," said the crow, "but you are still restricted."

The black-haired young man walked silently on the street at night, and the street lamps cast his shadow on the ground long.

"No way." He finally spoke, as if he had just collected his thoughts, but he still didn't intend to express his thoughts and changed the subject, "That child is fine, I can't stay with him for too long."

"Well, before I die again, I will watch him." The crow spread its wings and said docilely.

It used to be the consciousness of the copy of the so-called [Reincarnation Hotel].Disappeared with the end of the dungeon, but was awakened again.

"What did Masako say to you at the end?"

This time, Yuan Shen was silent for a longer time.

"... pray to me, eternity remains," he said.

Believers make a prayer at the end.Be gods not for your own sake.

"I'm not a god." He closed his eyes, "I'm just a human being."

"But you are her god," said the crow, "you promised."

"...Yes." Yuan Shen nodded and admitted.
