Leader Zai and Despair Raids the World

——May 2006, 5——

ninth day.

"........."

The gurgling of the water stopped.A bony male hand reached out and turned the tap.

The other hand casually wiped the dripping face.

Xia Youjie raised his head from the pool and looked at himself in the glasses.

He didn't care about the embarrassing look with dark circles under his eyes due to lack of sleep for a long time, he only paid attention to whether the fragmented cement blocks on the top of his head had been washed away.

After guessing that it was almost done, Xia Youjie grabbed his half-long hair with both hands and wrung the water out forcefully.

Then the doorbell rang.

Xia Youjie listened carefully to the noises outside, and then observed the surrounding environment with the help of magic spells. Then he casually pulled up the hair rope around his wrist, and tied his half-dry hair into a low ponytail.

——It was not someone else standing outside the door, but the landlady who was staying in this B&B.

The middle-aged wife who was still wearing an apron smiled politely, exchanged polite greetings with Xia Youjie for two or three words, and then asked

"For lunch, do you want three servings of pork chop rice?"

"Ah, please give us four copies, thank you." Xia Youjie said calmly, meeting the landlord's gaze without changing his face. "You know, I'm still growing up and eat a lot."

"...Yes, yes, you are right, haha." The landlord smiled dryly, his eyes wandering for a moment.

She seemed to want to ask something, but she didn't know how to speak under such calm eyes, so she pinched the edge of the apron with her hands, and tentatively said, "Your two younger sisters..."

"Yes." Xia Youjie replied steadily, "We will stay together for a day, not for long."

"This, that's it..."

The landlady murmured back and forth a few times, her eyes flickering, and she took her leave after a while and left.

Xia Youjie opened the door again and walked back indoors.

The two "sisters" poked their heads out of the corner of the living room vigilantly when they heard the sound.

"Has the exorcism spirit been discovered just now?" Misato Kuroi, the caretaker of the "Astroplasma Body", asked nervously.

"Or did you come to find me?"

"Astroplasma" Riko Tenuchi asked.

"It has nothing to do with you, Xiao Lizi," Xia Youjie said gently, walked to the couch and sat down, trying not to sigh when he finally relaxed.

"You saw me subdue the curse spirit." His tone was relaxed.

"After all, this is... the ninth day."

The implication of this sentence is understood by everyone

Nine days have passed since the gigantic event that shook the foundation of the entire world at the hands of Osamu Dazai.

At a rate of 1000 million per day, the electronic technology spread throughout the country has reached 9000 million as of today.

——That is to say, already [-]% of the Japanese population can meet the mantra face to face through mobile phones.

How many curse spirits were born because of this?

"..." Xia Youjie pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, subconsciously not wanting to think about it.

He recalled the look of the landlady's wife, and reminded the two to "take time to rest."

Xia Youjie said frankly, "I'm afraid I won't live here for long."

"... Oh." Riko Tenuchi, the "star plasma body" who is a female junior high school student, agreed dully.

Although her age was far from being considered mature, the girl who never caused trouble for the magician during this period of escaping from the pursuit of the whole world simply pulled a blanket out of the cabinet and wrapped it around her body.

In an emergency, there is no condition to be picky.Everyone tried their best to survive, even if they had no appetite, they had to swallow food into their stomachs. The most painful night even slept half the night curled up in an abandoned old building with their backpacks and coats on their pillows.

Kuroi Misato also took action, swiftly packing out a few pillows from the bedroom, and piled up a soft fortress full of reassurance for Riko Amauchi.

In order to minimize obstacles in their actions, several people have become accustomed to falling asleep in the same room and keeping vigil at different times.

And Xia Youjie pushed his wet black hair to the other side, and took out the curse spirit that was forcibly restrained by the magic spell operation from his pocket.

From the outside, it was nothing more than a pitch-black sphere that exuded a foul feeling.

But Xia Youjie put it to his mouth without changing his face, and swallowed it with his eyebrows frowned.

Kuroi Misato immediately brought over a glass of warm water and handed it to him.

"... I didn't find any honey or candy, I'm really sorry," the caretaker, who had always regarded herself as a "star plasma" maid, lowered her head with a bit of self-blame, "It's really hard for you..."

"Where. It's nothing." The second-year student of the high school of conjuration comforted her calmly and gently, "Miss Heijing has taken good care of us. The taste of this thing is not so bad, it's a big deal," Xia Youjie He smiled, "I'll go and steal a piece of candy from Wu later."

Hearing this, Riko Tenuchi, who had already buried her whole body in the blanket, looked back at him.

"Is Mr. Gojo coming back soon?"

Kuroi Misato asked.

"The white-haired bastard is coming back soon???"

Riko Tenuchi couldn't help muttering.

"..." Misato Kuroi had a headache, "Miss...you can't treat your benefactor like this?!"

Misato Kuroi, who is the caretaker of the "astral body" and also a family member and friend, took a stern look. The girl pursed her lips and apologized reluctantly

"I'm sorry..." She dragged her voice out, but somehow she knew how much effort that guy had put in behind her back, how much effort she had put in for her survival, but...but! ! ! ! !

"That guy, really has a bad personality?!"

Even though she was apologizing, Riko Tenuchi couldn't help but whispered something.

Ah this.

Even Xia Youjie, who is a relative and friend, couldn't refute this point, so he had to politely look away and pretend he didn't hear this sentence.

no way.When Gojo Satoru found them, Xia Youjie had just won the trust of the "Astral Physique" duo, and it was the time when his vigilance was at its highest.

And Gojo Satoru was pushed to this side indifferently and irresistibly by the teacher, and had to watch the adult Gojo Satoru of another world steal his home in front of him in front of his own eyes, no wonder he was in a good mood.

——A white-haired monster with a gloomy expression like a villain descended from the sky. Except for Xia Youjie, the other two thought it was an enemy attack and almost attacked directly!

In the end, Xia Youjie managed to adjust and explain their respective identities clearly, and the atmosphere was froze by the disgruntled Fried Mao Mao's few words, which almost made Riko Tennei so angry that he reached out and scratched him!

... In the end, Tiannei Lizi didn't scratch anyone, and it was Xia Youjie who fought with Gojo Wu rolling up his sleeves with a furious tic tac toe on his forehead.

As it turned out, the fight was well-timed.

Because, in the series of pursuits that followed, there was no room for breathing.

If you want to ask why, it is because Tiannai Lizi, as an "star plasma body", is a "secret that is not a secret" in the magic world.

Compared with the other "star plasma bodies" who were secret candidates, she was the one who was pushed to the front of the stage.

Therefore, two strongest figures in the magic world were sent to guard.

Therefore, whether it is the Cursed Master Group, the Panxing Sect religious group that worships 'Master Tianyuan', or ordinary human assassins who have received a bounty from the black market, or an underground organization that tries to capture the "star plasma body" as an experimental body, Fake government departments... In short, there is an endless supply, and it is impossible to drive them away.

Not to mention, since there is no way to eliminate the filth of spells (such as a certain 'disqualification in the world'. The 17-year-old Gojo Satoru mentioned this, and the 27-year-old Gojo Satoru, who has not been found until now, plus the daily In the video, his teacher, who has repeatedly changed his persona, couldn't help but sneer again and again, so jealous that he became a puffer fish).

In order to avoid being tracked, the four-person group had to change places of stay every day, and they almost experienced the embarrassment they had never experienced in this life.

This is also the result of Gojo Satoru remotely controlling the Gojo family, moving the chess pieces that were buried in the magic world, desperately covering up with the high-level people in the magic world, and not being backstabbed by his own people in the magic world without adding insult to injury.

For the "strongest" Xia Youjie and Gojo Satoru, it's not the difficulty of the task that bothers people.

It was "how to keep the girl alive under the hostility of the whole world".

Several times among them, Xia Youjie was keenly aware of the killing intent emanating from Wutiao Wu's body.

——Not to the curse spirit.

——but aimed at the enemy who is an ordinary human being.

"Enlightenment."

One day, after Kuroi Misato's vigil, Xia Youjie dragged Gojo Wu away with a serious expression on his face.

"You...,..." He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to persuade his companion.

Instead, Gojo Satoru smiled.

Behind the dark sunglasses, Yingying's six eyes were bent.

"Relax, relax, Jay." He said lightly, putting his hands behind his head like an ordinary male high school student.

"I'm not going to go that far."

Wujo Wujo seems to be reassuring a friend, but also seems to be desperately grabbing the fragile sling in his hand.

"That's a step the teacher won't allow me to take."

17-year-old murmurs and repeats, chuckles

"Me, me. I still want to be the teacher's 'good boy'."

Topsy-turvy, more insane than sober, more sober than insane.

"…………"

At that moment, Xia Youjie almost saw a dark and ominous shadow under that pretending indifferent smile.

After that night, Xia Youjie didn't dare to leave Wujo Wu alone, and he couldn't rest assured that the "star plasma" duo who couldn't protect themselves against powerful enemies.

……… He felt that he had never worried so much in his life.

Where is this a team to do the task?It's just one person working hard to pull the whole family...

One day after that, Gojo Satoru couldn't take it anymore, and yelled something like "cutting the grass and rooting out the roots", "I want to start from their curse master's stronghold first ■■, then ■■■■■, then ■■■■ and ■■■■ ", ran to overthrow the stronghold of the curse master.

...Wait, where did you learn so many torture techniques that you have to mosaic? ! ? !Wu, please explain to me clearly——! ! ! ! !

Xia Youjie's roar was not answered.

— until now.

The window glass was knocked, and the familiar white hair stuck out.

Under the white hair was a face that also lacked sleep, and there were a few drops of blood stains on it that made people think about it, which was wiped off by Gojo Satoru nonchalantly when he turned over and came in.

"I'm sleepy, let me sleep." Saying so, he lay flat on the couch, and stretched out his long arms and legs carelessly.

This person ran away to do bad things without saying hello, and finally came back with such an unsightly appearance, which made the corners of Xia Youjie's mouth twitch, and wanted to punch that uneducated head with his fist. .

Thanks to the landlady who knocked on the door at this moment and interrupted (another) fight.

Xia Youjie calmly summoned the mantra to come out, carried the entire sofa in a different direction, and covered him with a shroud, no, a white sheet, to ensure that the landlady could not see the guy's long hands protruding from the sofa from the door long feet.

After disposing of the body (?), he walked over to open the door and took lunch from the landlord.

"Ah, that," the landlady called to him before turning around.

Xia Youjie stood still quietly, waiting for fierce reprimands, "What kind of monster is that?!", "It's all you freaks—" and other irrational reprimands.

this is nothing.

The young sophomore said to himself.

They have never seen the curse spirit.It is understandable and understandable to speak without choice under extremely violent mood swings.

And the landlady's eyes were flickering, she looked around, and then reminded like a thief

"You guys better leave quickly, I heard someone asking if there are any girls like your two sisters around here..."

A genuine smile appeared on that face that was still a bit panicked

"Also. It's really hard to fight such a dangerous monster."

This ordinary human being without magic power, an inconspicuous housewife who repeats her boring daily life, one of the thousands of ants that make up this world, smiled sincerely at Xia Youjie

"All the time."

"—thank you all."

"...Ah," Xia Youjie opened his mouth, clumsily not knowing what to answer for a while.

'You're welcome'?

'You're too kind'?

'is what we should do'?

He didn't have time to say anything, but he was gently pushed by the landlady, took his four servings of pork chop rice, and returned to the living room where the four of them gathered.

"I'm starving to death, what should I eat?" This was his only close friend who didn't know how to write the word "polite".

"Oh oh oh, are you here?" This is an innocent girl who should never be sacrificed meaninglessly.

"Be polite, miss." This is the caretaker maid who looks serious but gentle.

Inadvertently, Xia Youjie also smiled slightly.

At this moment, the slight vibration of the phone rang.

That's not another reminder sound, but a special reminder for "that" video.

Tennai Riko grabbed the mobile phone in front of her first, clicked on the play, and opened her mouth to bite the edge of the pork chop that was fried until it was golden brown and crispy.

—— After just one glance, she opened her mouth wide and let the pork chop fall back onto the dinner plate.

At the same time, what slid down the cheeks were the tears of the "astral plasma" girl.

Nothing else on the video, just a voting page.

That page wasn't even written by Osamu Dazai.It looks very rough, only showing the port to log in with real credential information, the same enlarged and heart-pounding headline

"Would you like to keep 'Astroplasma' alive?"

"Yes" on the left, and "No" on the right.

The numbers on both sides are increasing simultaneously at a terrifying speed.

——As Osamu Dazai said.

——This is exactly the choice of the entire human race.
