[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

Chapter 20: You Can’t Be the Savior

Ye Mo Zheng Dao folded his arms and began to issue tasks.

"Starting from next Monday, what you need to do is to protect the Astral Plasma from being hunted. Currently, people from the Panxing Cult and the Q Organization have issued a bounty for its killing."

"Also, escort her safely to the Hongxing Palace before the full moon night, and complete her assimilation in front of Master Tianyuan."

Huailiang stared blankly at the blackboard, where there was a chalk mark that had not been wiped clean, and his thoughts drifted away silently.

To protect people, but also to send them to death.

This world is getting more and more upside down.

……

"Why do you have more and more solo missions recently?"

As soon as he came out of the classroom, Xia Youjie received another task text message notification from the general director's office.

Huailiang originally planned to go back to the dormitory to take a break, but she couldn't resist Gojo Satoru's desire to join in the fun, and he even carried her along.

He said he was taking her to buy a yukata, which was said to be necessary equipment for attending the fireworks festival.

Based on the central idea that it would be a bastard not to take advantage of a good opportunity, and since she had nothing to do anyway, she readily agreed to go.

In the carriage heading to the city, the three of them also discussed the astral plasma protection mission that would begin next Monday.

"Q is an organization of curse masters that has emerged in recent years. They are at odds with the General Directorate and want to make Master Tianyuan fail in his evolution in order to disrupt the curse world and re-cleave the forces in the curse world."

Xia Youjie crossed his arms and sat on the right side by the window. "A bunch of small fish snacks, nothing to be afraid of."

Gojo Satoru tapped the glass on the left side of the car with his fingers. "The Panxing Sect has existed for many years, and the top leaders in the sect are all wealthy people who are not magicians."

"They firmly believe that Tian Yuan is a god, so they don't allow 'dirty' star plasma to pollute the god. They want to keep it pure. They have offered a large reward for the life of the star plasma."

"Excuse me, so why don't you let me sit in the passenger seat?"

Being sandwiched between two DKs who were over 185cm tall, Huailiang twisted his body uncomfortably, "Are you really not too crowded?"

Xia Youjie turned his head and said in a clear voice: "Does Liang-san dislike me?"

Gojo Satoru even pretended to be vulnerable, "How sad! It wasn't like this before..."

"Stop, stop, stop -"

Huai Liang hurriedly spoke up to stop the farce that followed. She rubbed her swollen and aching head and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything. That's it."

Judging from the information currently obtained, with Gojo Satoru as the high-attack and high-defense tank top laner, Geto Suguru as the summoner mage mid laner, and her as an assassin jungler to support, it should not be difficult for her to protect the Astral Plasma.

But her eyelids had been twitching since she received the task, as if telling her that this task was not easy.

Tian Yuan, the sorcerer who has lived for a thousand years, has always been her main target of observation.

And the task centered around its "purification" this time may be the major event node mentioned by the system.

If it is known that the world will be destroyed in the future, then is Tianyuan, whose evolution failed due to the death of the astral plasma, the real culprit?

Tengen himself lives in the basement of the Tokyo Metropolitan Jutsu High School.

His barrier is updated daily, with a total of over 1000 ever-changing doors, only one of which leads to the Taboo Vault, which contains a variety of extremely dangerous cursed items.

When you reach the deepest part of Jiku, there is an elevator leading to the lowest level. Descending to the lowest level, you can reach the road to Tianyuan Xixia Hongxing Palace.

You must take the correct path to reach Kamiyakimoto-den, and you still have to go through the last door down the correct staircase path.

The mission is completed only after passing through the last barrier that requires Tianyuan's invitation to enter.

This can be said to be a very tight security measure.

However, from another perspective, Huailiang felt that Tianyuan was more like a prisoner held deep underground who was nominally protected but was actually being guarded.

She didn't know how long he had stayed deep underground. If she were in his shoes, she thought she might go crazy.

"Let's get back to the point. Protecting the astral plasma is just a small case. Liang-san, don't worry. Just follow me and Jie. We are the strongest."

Gojo Satoru hummed the song from the game he had finished last night, "Speaking of which, summer is here again, and I have to 'clean up' all the places around Tokyo, big and small."

Xia Youjie decisively chose to add insult to injury: "Didn't they say that because of your birth, and because of the balance of heaven, the cursed spirits have become more powerful in the past ten years?"

"So it's reasonable for you to worry more. It would be best if you could complete my task as well."

Huailiang does not quite agree with this statement, at least he thinks it is not the main factor, the most fundamental problem is still social problem.

She was very open-minded: "We can't control the life and death of every non-magician, so we just have to do our best."

Gojo Satoru seconded, "Right! That's what I told Jay before."

"He always seems to like to take the responsibility on himself, always saying things like 'with great power comes great responsibility'."

As he said this, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue, his disdain was evident in his words.

"Please, my strength is my own talent. Those non-magicians have never helped me in any way. Why do you want to blame me for their life and death~"

After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and clapped their hands in tacit understanding.

"Hey, isn't that too cold to think so?"

Geto Suguru objected, "The purpose of sorcerers is to protect non-sorcerers."

"Don't you think that 'survival of the weak' is the most suitable way for society to function?"

"Survival of the fittest, right?"

Huailiang did not hesitate to expose the other party's lofty ideals, "Survival of the fittest, isn't that the law of nature?"

"Besides, even if we take a step back, more than ten thousand people are killed by cursed spirits every year in the country, but do you know how many people commit suicide every year, or die in car accidents, diseases, vendettas, or natural disasters?"

Gojo snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, let it be. Even if it's a fight between non-magicians over power, money or women, many people will die."

The formation of cursed spirits in this world is easier than the generation of pollutants.

Even if there are not such a large number of cursed spirits, as long as negative emotions arise among ordinary people, the continuous population explosion will continue to generate cursed spirits.

Perhaps, this world has been cursed by God.

Xia Youjie still insisted on his own idea: "That's why he needs our help even more, right? Even if we can save one more life, it will be good."

Huai Liang was completely aroused by the other party's saintly thoughts and wanted to debate: "I don't deny that saving people is a good thing, but I don't think it's necessary to regard myself as a 'savior', because non-magicians are the root cause of cursed spirits, right?"

"According to your idea, if you want to protect everyone, you have to kill all non-magicians first, but this is simply a paradox."
