"You, haven't you quit smoking?"

In the infirmary of Gaozhuan, there are several cigarette butts on the newly purchased ashtray on the table by the window.

"When I think about the past, I want to smoke a few." Jia Ruozi still held an unlit cigarette in his hand, "I'll quit after this week."

She has heavy dark circles under her eyes.

"What happened in the past..." Gojo Satoru changed his sunglasses into a bandage after returning to the high school, and he stopped with a smile after saying a few words.

It was changed to two months ago, and the behavior of recalling those three years of youth was simply nostalgia, and laments like things are right and people are wrong are not suitable for him.

But now-

It can be regarded as a matter of right and wrong in another sense.Anyway, in the future, things like the 'golden age of the past' will probably be diluted by new memories.

Gojo Satoru was quite confident.

"Where's Xia Youjie?" Jia Ruozi asked.

Now that Gojo Satoru has come, she will ask.

"Jie, he's probably doing reorganization work in Panxing Sect now. After being preached over and over again, he finally couldn't hold back and surrendered."

"What about you? Surrendered too?" Jia Ruozi thought for a while, then lit the cigarette on his hand.

"I'm proactive."

The conversation in the infirmary paused for a while, and everything was still except for the smoke that drifted out.

"So you really reached an agreement again." After a long time, Jia Ruozi said.

There was neither surprise nor the usual 'expected' reaction on her face, it was just plain.

"As expected, it is impossible to be completely consistent. But differences in ideas do not affect cooperation." Wutiao said.The tone is not mature like him.

Yarui Glass turned his head and looked at Gojo's expression indifferently for a while.

10 years ago in Shinjuku... no, earlier, if it could be done.

She doesn't ask 'why' or 'is it okay'.

Jia Ruozi put out his half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray.

"Remember to buy me wine when you're done. It's more expensive. Both of you should buy it," she said.

-------------------------------------

When he first took over the Panxing Sect, Xia Youjie threatened the remaining people to obey him by killing people at the first congregation meeting.

He doesn't treat those non-magic masters as human beings, but in his eyes, the followers of Panxing Cult are the 'true culprits' of Tiannei Lizi's death, and their status is worse than that of ordinary monkeys. They can be used at will, discarded and destroyed disposable tool.

But now the people he has to face are all the magicians he has recruited one by one over the years.They are either moved by Xia You's personality charm, or attracted by the future of the magician described by Xia You, and they gather around Xia You one after another.

is a companion.It's family.

And what he is going to do now can be said to be a kind of betrayal.

What level of blow is it that the leader himself abandons the goal?

Although that original goal was too far away to be achieved.

How is it compared to the sudden death of the leader?

How about being deceived by the enemy occupying the corpse?

Xia Youjie pressed his temple with his thumb.

Can't escape.

He opened his mouth.

"What I want to say to you today may be a little difficult to accept. I will explain in advance that I can accept whether you want to leave or stay after listening. If you are dissatisfied because of this, please also target me alone, don't hurt a partner."

There was no sound from below.

"First and most importantly, from now on, I will give up the practice of ending the generation of non-magic masters. The Hyakki Night Walk on December 12 will be cancelled."

There was a little commotion underneath.

"I think the really important thing is not to destroy, but to actually change the fate of the magician. You don't have to be persecuted, you don't have to be injured or die because of the magic spirit that we obviously didn't create. I have always felt that the magician needs to be changed. Fate is about to take everything from the non-magician, but maybe it's someone else who took those things."

Before the listener had a bigger reaction, Xia Youjie went on to say: "I have cooperated with Wujo Wu. To be precise, Wujo Wu and I have reached an agreement with the government as magicians. They have built a new The department's Conjuration Affairs Division is in contact with the conjuration world—not with the director."

This time, the voice below disappeared completely again.

"The two meanings of conjurers as a profession and as a group of people with specific extraordinary abilities will be separated. The affairs of exorcising curse spirits will be provided by the government to provide intelligence and lead. Industry norms are limited to industry norms, not The kind of thing that can be punished at will. But tax evasion is definitely not an option, and the curse master who refuses to give up wounding and killing people will probably be liquidated."

"Is this all something you've decided?" someone in the group stood up and said.

There was unrepressed excitement in his voice—it was hard to tell whether it was negative or positive emotion.

Xia You glanced at him, and then replied calmly: "Yes. But when I signed the agreement, I only represent myself."

This is something that sounds strange at first glance.Xia Youjie and Wujo Wu were actually negotiating on an equal footing with the government, not including the forces behind them.

But it's not surprising when you think about it.Firstly, these two special-level magicians considered the special destructive power of the spells to be astonishing, and secondly, after rebuilding the structure of the magic world, Wujo and Xia You had better not have the support of power, so at the beginning, except for the special-level magicians All other magicians are treated as ordinary magicians in the agreement.

After hearing Xia You's words, the man who stood up was stunned.

Xia Youjie did not make decisions for them, his behavior was closer to 'abandoning' them.

The latter is sometimes harder to accept than the former.

Soon someone in the audience asked "why" "what's going on", and someone asked "what happened after you left these days".

The expressions on many people's faces are unacceptable, but no one has directly opposed it yet.

too suddenly.And they can also find some unstoppable trends from Xia You's words and the previous changes in the magic world.

If there is a reasonable enough reason——

Some people think so.After all, many people in the Panxing Sect just want to follow Xia You, and they don't have any deep hatred for non-artists.

Xia Youjie watched their reactions carefully.

What he experienced was too personal, and it seemed nothing to talk about in front of Gojo Satoru, Bradbury, or Tengen, but it was strange to explain it to others.

There is a villain named Ren Suo who has lived for more than 1000 years. In order to achieve his outrageous goal of exterminating mankind (evolving all mankind), he has continued to make troubles for 1000 years, causing countless tragedies——

Having said that, it sounds very unreal.

So Xia You said: "I heard some insights. For example, we should think about genetics and social structure. The suggestion I got was to put aside the disputes of ideas and consider solving problems through technical institutional structures." He gave up Bring up the matter of shoveling.

Xia You's answer was really beyond everyone's expectations.This is a very academic answer, which implies a lot of thinking from other perspectives, obviously from the person who made 'suggestions' to Xiayou.

But in terms of Xia You's previous statement, it is not appropriate to regard this unknown person as a contribution of "monster words". This is obviously a "suggestion" that requires serious thinking before it can be understood.

The commotion down below subsided again.

But this does not mean that they accepted Xia You's words, but that they understood Xia You's firmness now.

Can you be firm enough? I have already done it directly.

After calming down, the thoughts that can remain in the mind are clearer.

The person in front of him has chosen a new path, and wishes they would take that path as well.Xia You doesn't need their support, that kind of hope comes from pure caring heart.

"Is there anything I can do?" a girl sitting in the front row asked, standing up.

This is a young conjurer, her spells and the use of spell power were taught by Xia You.

Her question was naturally out of pure emotion.

Xia You stared at the young girl for a while, and replied: "What you can do is to seriously think about your future from your own perspective, and then do what you want to do."

After a while, more and more people stood up and asked questions.

Of course, it is not without saying a word all the time.

-------------------------------------

"What! You said that Xia Youjie disbanded the Panxing Sect?" An elderly man asked.

His expression was very disturbed, the teacup he was holding in his right hand fell on the small table, and the splashed tea stained the hakama with several dark water stains.

"Yes. Not only was the announcement posted on the website, but the original company and building's license to use it as a religious site was also cancelled." Said a young man in a suit kneeling a little far away.

"What's the matter? It's just superficial stuff. What I'm asking is, did he disband those curse masters?" There was a clear look of disgust on the face of the questioner.

"This..." The young man said with an apologetic smile, "It should be disbanded too, that building has been emptied. I haven't heard anything from Xia You himself in the past few days."

"Forget it, let's treat it like this." The old man still looked worried, "What about other news?"

The young man's expression became a little more tangled, and he replied softly: "Gojo Satoru has been attending classes normally since he returned to the high school, and he has never disappeared in the middle of the exorcism mission." Of course, even if that person has left, there is no one I know, he cursed.

"Has anyone over there contacted Wutiao?"

"Judging from the news that can be detected, everyone has been rejected. Wujo Wuming said that he will not accept anyone's solicitation..."

The old man's face became ugly for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Neutral. Consider him sensible. What did he talk to Tian Yuan before and still can't figure it out?"

The young man bowed his head and said only "yes".

There was a moment of silence with the room.

"What are you still doing here? Report if you have any news, and leave if you don't." The old man said impatiently.

The young man lowered his head even further, his forehead almost touching the ground.

"...The funds are broken..." His voice was as low as a mosquito.

"Can't hear you, speak louder." The old man frowned.

"...Our family's investments in Kyoto and Tokyo have all been frozen or included in restricted transactions. The National Taxation Office also demanded huge amounts of backpayment of taxes. The chain of funds in our hands is broken."
