Chapter 14

[Stare——]

[Stare——]

“Hey, hey, hey——!!!”

Gojo Satoru rolled his eyes: “Jie——! What do you mean by that expression?!”

“Do you think I Could it be the culprit of the explosion? "

Well... why not?"

Based on my understanding of Gojo Satoru, once this guy gets into a fight, he doesn't care about everything around him. When the time comes, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand it just by relying on the [tent] of normal strength.

...but...it won't burn the surrounding area to the ground, right?

Satori...his basic sanity should still be there.

Xia Youjie smiled and waved his hand: "How is that possible?"

"I just want to see what you think."

Haha, that's all.

Gojo Satoru had no doubt that the narrow-eyed person next to him was loudly complaining. But the important thing now is not to make jokes with Xia Youjie, but to find out the truth and lies of the woman in front of him.

"You said it's intuition?"

"And you know exactly what it will be in an hour?"

Even if it's a magic technique, it's a bit ridiculous.

"Although it seems like a joke, but... if possible, can you let me go inside the chemical plant to see it?"

"And, I also want to know... about spellcasters like you."

Angelica Although she didn't know what changes had happened to her, she was suddenly able to see the curse spirit and the attitude of the two teenagers towards her was obviously different from before. These made her realize:

She couldn't get any results no matter how hard she searched. The strange and mysterious world has unknowingly opened the door to her.

In this case, for safety reasons, Angelica certainly hopes to learn as much as possible about this new "world".

Well, that's not impossible.

Gojo Satoru felt his eyes itching and blinked twice quickly. At the same time, he once again attributed this problem to the fact that he was under the influence of Angelica.

"You're so curious - I don't care - Jie -!"

"If you want to take her with you, then take her with you."

As he said that, he turned around in an exaggerated way and walked towards the chemical plant swaggeringly. .

"I realize he's just not good at expressing himself." Xia Youjie has indeed acted as a qualified guide, and at the same time he did not forget to explain a few words for his friend, "But his mission has been delayed for a while, probably because he was in a hurry to set up... " Account

?"

Angelica finally asked the word that she didn't understand: "Does this word have a different meaning in your place?"

"Sorry, I forgot that you just awakened from the curse. " "Power."

Xia Youjie considers himself to be well-read, at least he has read all the relevant information in the world of magic.

But this was the first time he had encountered the sudden appearance of magical power and talent for magic in his twenties and thirties.

In order to take care of Angelica who didn't understand anything, Xia Youjie briefly explained to her the common sense in the world of magic - spell power, spells, and common terms.

"So that's it." Angelica nodded, feeling that the meatball-headed man's language ability was much higher than that of the white-haired one. "No wonder I haven't met him before...it turns out it's because they are all covered by the tent."

"Think about it, if I were still an ordinary person who couldn't see the curse spirit, I really wouldn't want those horrible things to interfere with my normal life."

Angelica had a hint of fear on her face, but soon , she shook her head with a smile, raised her head, and looked into Xia Youjie's eyes tenderly:

"But thank you for your hard work."

"Thanks to spellcasters like you, we ordinary people can have relative peace.

"It's not easy for you to be so young." "

As an ordinary person who has been protected by you silently, please allow me to say thank you

... thank you? "

Xia Youjie originally took her on a routine mission: this is how the magic world always helps these "new" magicians who cannot control their magic power.

Guide and educate until they are completely unaffected by the spell.

As for whether they choose to join the magic world and become a magician who only works hard all his life; or whether they choose to assist the magician in his mission; or whether they choose to break away from the magic world and return to peace. In the world of ordinary people, there are no extremely tough requirements.

Such sincere gratitude...

Xia Youjie was even a little confused: How long has it been since he heard it?

He was obviously constantly accepting and solving tasks one after another, but it became increasingly difficult for him to get the simple joy he felt when he first went on a mission from the perfectly completed tasks.

The client's grateful expression and voice of thanks at that time broke through the dust of time and became vivid in Xia Youjie's memory again.

"Thank you so much——!"

At this moment, Angelica's voice of thanks seemed to completely overlap with another voice in the distant space and time. The bright sunshine spread all over the place and also illuminated her fair face.

In her eyes, sparkling light was flickering.

Xia Youjie suddenly wanted to escape from those eyes that seemed to be talking back.

"Hmph - you just lied to me, right -?!"

Before Xia Youjie's emotion could dissipate, Gojo Satoru, who had quickly set up his account, suddenly responded:

"Hmm -?"

Gojo Satoru His eyes were so sharp. He immediately noticed that Xia Youjie's expression was strange. He immediately got closer and opened his eyes wide to look hard.

"Wu..." Xia Youjie had to raise his hand to push away the face that couldn't find any flaws but could always make people laugh or cry, "Are you planning to poke a hole in my face with your nose?"

"You are simply a genius - Jie!"

"Okay - let's try this next time!"

Gojo Satoru did not take Xia Youjie's complaints at all. Instead, he diverted his attention enthusiastically and turned the opponent The “kind” suggestion quickly added to his long list of pranks.

"That's right!"

He clapped his hands and thought for a while, but still didn't get too close to Angelica: "The spell spirits inside are all normal - quite weak and ordinary, giving people no desire to fight |

"You really think this chemical plant will explode?"

Angelica can certainly guarantee it. After all, this is the third bad thing she has experienced .

But the problem is that she can't tell the truth.

"No matter what, please take me to see inside the factory, can you?"

On the surface, there is indeed nothing wrong with the chemical factory. Just because it was notified by superiors, no one was there all day long.

In the empty factory area, the footsteps of several people were particularly loud.

In the entire factory, apart from the chemical pool and various equipment that Angelica couldn't understand the purpose of, there were only... blurry, slow-moving, and bloated curse spirits that could be seen everywhere.

Why are there so many inside the factory when we can't see many on the streets?

Angelica thought there must be something fishy in it: "In addition to negative emotions, is there any other way to form a curse spirit?"

Phew.

As Gojo Satoru walked, he casually knocked away all the cursed spirits that looked at him as if they were seeing delicious food, just like he was driving away flies, so that they could be wiped out in ashes.

This can also be regarded as a unique way to relieve stress.

At least for Gojo Satoru, his mood gradually recovered a lot along the way.

"There are so many human obsessions, false legends, gatherings of resentment, and so on."

In short, the true face of the curse spirit is: human beings' disappointment in the world.

Countless small disappointments were blown away like gravel day after day by the wind called time, and finally, at a certain moment, they became a terrifying curse.

They stare at the world with ghostly eyes, just to give a fatal blow to the world that disappoints them and the world that makes them painful.

"I told you - it's not a big deal

, right?" Although Gojo Satoru looked nonchalant, he carefully checked with his eyes every time he eliminated a cursed spirit to ensure that there was no residue. Stay - that woman is definitely bluffing me!

"This floor has almost been cleaned up."

Xia Youjie did not follow Gojo Satoru's words, but looked around and found the area division map inside the factory: "But there seem to be several floors underground."

"It needs to be cleaned up there too."

Compared to Gojo Satoru who still needs to "wave his little hands", Xia Youjie's way of dealing with the cursed spirits is simpler, rougher and more relaxed - he puts his hands in his pockets and walks slowly, with the man behind him The cursed spirits that looked like snakes but not snakes kept flying around, sucking every cursed spirit in the way into their stomachs like eating jelly.

"What kind of basement does an ordinary chemical plant have?"

Gojo Satoru was very dissatisfied: "Is there something ulterior?"

Angelica's heart suddenly jumped when she heard that, and inexplicable nervousness suddenly surged into her heart. .

This tension reached its peak when she stood at the bottom of the stairs, facing the dark space.

"Underground..." Angelica felt like she was frozen just by breathing, "There is something..."

"Ah, you don't need to say it-" Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie suddenly blocked the way. In front of her, the two people's faces were uniformly solemn and alert. "The curse suddenly became so strong - it's hard to ignore it!"

"I think I should know about this concentration of curse. What is the true face of this factory——!"

As he spoke, Gojo Satoru showed a particularly deep disgust on his face.

"It turns out that it's a petri dish for some rotten oranges."

Petri dish? What does it mean?

Although Angelica wanted to ask, she also knew that she could not interfere in the battle between the two young magicians at will.

So she could only connect the "context" and the original meaning of the words to translate it in terms of spells:

Could it be that...the white hair means...that

someone is deliberately using different levels of spell spirits to cultivate powerful special-level ones?

But what good does this do to the cultivator?

According to the knowledge about spells provided by Xia Youjie, there are currently only a handful of spellcasters and spellcasters in the world of spells who can control spell spirits.

If it wasn't for the purpose of manipulating the special level, then cultivating a special level would just cause trouble to the magic world.

...Ah...that's right...!

Angelica blinked her eyes. In just a moment, the two people who were in front of her had disappeared. However, in the distance, there were continuous sounds of fighting.

In the world of magic, in addition to magicians and magic spirits, there is also a special group of people - cursers.

Although he is a human, he takes pleasure in destroying spellcasters and humans.
