A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

"My mission tomorrow has to go somewhere quite far away."

After buying drinks, the two of them sat in the corridor and chatted. Grizzly Bear smiled and said to Xia Youjie.

"Really? I'll take care of you as a souvenir," Xia Youjie said calmly.

"Understood!! Do you like sweet or salty food?" Grizzly Bear asked with a smile.

"Satoru will probably eat it too, just something sweet." Xia Youjie responded.

"..."

After a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Haiyuan, can you still work as a conjurer? Don't you find it hard?"

"Well..."

Grizzly Bear was stunned for a moment when faced with this sudden question. He thought for a moment and replied, "My personality is that I am not used to thinking too deeply about everything. But I feel that I can do my best to do what I can! That feels great. of!!"

"That's it."

Looking at the energetic gray bear, Xia Youjie was stunned.

"you're right."

"Are you classmate Xia You?"

At this moment, a female voice came from the side.

"What type of woman do you like?"

The tall woman came to him and asked calmly.

"Um?"

Seemingly seeing Xia Youjie not responding to her question, the woman made a confused sound.

"Who are you?"

Xia Youjie asked with some confusion.

"I like girls with a good appetite!!" Grizzly Bear on the side didn't think there was anything difficult to answer, and responded with a smile.

"Haiyuan..."

Xia Youjie looked at him, a little ashamed.

"It's okay, she's not a bad person." Grizzly Bear said with a smile, "I'm very confident in my vision of people."

"...You have the nerve to say this when you are sitting next to me?" Xia Youjie smiled sarcastically.

"?...Yes!!" Grizzly Bear didn't know why, but he still didn't change his opinion.

"Ah hahaha! This conversation is very ironic." The woman laughed as she listened to the exchange between the two.

After chatting for a while, the gray bear said goodbye and left.

Only Xia Youjie and the woman were left in the corridor.

"Your junior is quite honest and cute." The woman laughed, waved goodbye to the gray bear, and teased Xia Youjie.

"I think as a magician, he should learn to look at people with suspicion."

Xia Youjie said helplessly.

"Xia You, do you want to answer my question?" the woman asked.

"Please answer my question first." Xia Youjie looked at the woman, "Who are you?"

"Special magician, Ninety-nine Yuki." The woman responded calmly, "So, you should know by now, right?"

"!!"

Xia Youjie looked at her in surprise when he heard this, "So you are the legendary...!?"

"Ouch! What's it like in the legend?" Jiujiu Yuki was a little curious about the legend about himself.

"Although he is a special-level person, he doesn't take any missions at all. He is just a lazy scoundrel wandering overseas." Xia Youjie replied.

"..."

Ninety-nine Yugi suddenly looked embarrassed.

"I hate high schools." She sighed and said.

"What a quarrel..." Xia Youjie looked at the woman in front of him speechlessly, thinking to himself.

"I'm kidding." But Jiujiu Yuji soon returned to normal, "But I do disagree with the policy of the college. People here believe in symptomatic therapy. What I want to implement is causative therapy."

"Cause therapy?" Xia Youjie was a little confused.

"It's not about hunting curse spirits, but about creating a world where no curse spirits appear." Jiujiu Yuki responded.

"!!"

Xia Youjie was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Then, let me teach you a little bit." Jiujiu Yuki looked at his curious look and explained with a smile, "Let me ask you, what is the so-called curse spirit?"

"The curse spirit can be seen as something formed by the accumulation and precipitation of the curse power leaked from human beings themselves." Xia Youjie replied.

"That's right. Then there are two ways to create a world where no curse spirits appear." Jiujiu Yuki raised two fingers and said calmly, "One is to make all human beings' curse power disappear... The other is to The first idea of ​​letting all human beings learn to control the power of magic is quite good, and there are concrete examples of success.”

"Example?" Xia Youjie asked doubtfully.

"You are also familiar with that person." Jiujiu Youji replied, "The Zen monastery is very special. Due to the role of heaven and the curse, I have seen many examples where the power of the curse is no different from that of ordinary people. But those who can do the curse Looking at the whole world, he is the only one who has 0 power. The interesting thing about him is not just that. Although Chanyuan Jin'er has 0 power, he can sense the power of the curse completely because he has completely abandoned it. , the body has completely separated from the curse, but has gained the resistance to the curse, so you don't have to feel ashamed if you lose to him. I once wanted to do some research on him, but he dumped me. . His death is really a pity. There are too few examples of Heaven and Curse Binding, so I am focusing on the second method. Did you know that magicians can't generate curse spirits?

"!?"

Hearing such a conclusion, Xia Youjie was slightly shocked.

"Of course, this does not include the case where the body of a magician becomes a curse after death." Jiujiu Yuki added, "Compared to non-magicians, magicians rarely leak magic power. Although the magic spell is used The consumption and capacity of magic power vary, but the most important reason is that the magic power of a magician will flow within the body. Generally speaking, if all humans become magicians, there will be no more magic power. There is a curse."

"So……"

Hearing this, those dirty faces flashed through Xia Youjie's mind, and a terrible thought arose.

"Wouldn't it be the same to kill all those who are not magicians?"

"Natsuyou, what you said is 'feasible'." I thought I would be refuted, but unexpectedly, Yuki Kujiu gave an affirmative answer without any expression on his face. "It should be said that that is the easiest way."

"Huh?" Xia Youjie was a little surprised when he heard this, "No..."

He just expressed his idea, but he didn't expect this woman to actually consider the feasibility of this idea.

"Adopt thinning method for non-magicians as a survival strategy to make them adapt to magicians." Jiujiu Youji ignored Xia Youjie and said calmly, "To put it simply, it is to promote their evolution. Just like birds The meaning of the process of growing wings. Of course, this requires a sense of terror and crisis. But unfortunately, I’m not that crazy yet. Do you hate non-magicians?”

"I have no idea."

Xia Youjie lowered his head and responded.

"I used to think that spells existed to protect non-magicians. But recently, the value of non-magicians has been shaken in my mind. The dignity of the weak and the ugliness of the weak, I can no longer distinguish between tolerance and contempt for the two. The me who is not a magician and the me who denies myself as a magician are like a marathon, but the image of the end is so ambiguous that I can no longer tell which one is my true heart."

"None of them are sincere." Kujiu Yuki said calmly, "You haven't reached that stage yet. You despise magicians, and you deny yourself like that. These two are just what you came to after thinking. Possibility. It’s up to you to choose which one is your sincerity.”

With that said, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Xia Youjie took her all the way to the entrance of the college until she started the motorcycle engine.

During this period, the two chatted a lot.

"Bye! To be honest, I still want to say hello to Gojo-san. It's just an unlucky time. The three of us are both special-level students. I hope we can get along well in the future."

Jiujiu Youji blinked at Xia Youjie and said goodbye.

"I will tell Wu." Xia Youjie said with a smile.

"Ah, yes, one last thing."

Jiujiu Youji seemed to have thought of something, and before finally leaving, he said, "You don't have to worry too much about the astral body. I don't know if there was another astral body at that time, or there was a new astral body. All in all, Tianyuan is very stable."

"..."

Listening to these words, Xia Youjie's face flashed in Xia Youjie's mind, and he fell into silence.

Watching the locomotive leave, he sighed lightly: "I think so..."

He should have guessed it a long time ago. The matter of Tianyuan's assimilation into the astral body is so important, how could there be no alternative plan.

No……

Perhaps from the beginning, Riko Tenuchi was just a bait released to the outside world.

This innocent girl was just a victim.

This world is really terrible...

············

Blessings come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.

Soon, the grizzly bear who went out on a mission came back.

But all that came back were corpses.

"That was supposed to be an easy Level 2 curse spirit subjugation mission...!!"

In the morgue, Nanami Kento, who was traveling with him, had a bandage on his head and spoke regretfully.

"Damn it...!! The belief in the earth god...it turns out to be an earth god...it's a Level 1 case...!!"

"Cultivation is important now, Nanami."

Xia Youjie persuaded Qihai Jianren while covering the body of the gray bear with a white cloth.

"Leave the task to Satoru."

"...Can't we just leave everything to him alone from now on?" Nanami Kento complained.

"..."

Xia Youjie did not respond when he heard this.

Being a magician is like a marathon. What if there are a mountain of corpses of your friends waiting at the end?

What's the point of them continuing to insist?

············

Record.

September 2007.

xx City, xx County (former xx Village).

Mission summary: Find out the missing people and abnormal deaths in the village. Remove the curse that caused the incident.

The person who performed this task was Xia Youjie.

One night.

He came to a dark room and saw the two girls imprisoned in the cage in front of him. They rubbed their aching brows and asked the villagers behind them in a troubled manner.

"What's this?"

Even without asking, he could tell that these were two young girls.

The problem itself is not the key.

The point is, these two girls were tortured for no apparent reason.

At this moment, the girl saw someone approaching and trembled in fear.

"What? These two people are the cause of a series of events?" The name of the village replied matter-of-factly.

"That's not right." Xia Youjie retorted with a slight frown.

"The two of them were not in their right mind and attacked the villagers with incredible force several times," the villager continued.

"I have eliminated the cause of this incident." Xia Youjie frowned and retorted again.

"My grandson was almost killed by them!" The villagers only resented the two girls.

"That's because he first—"

The girl reluctantly wanted to explain something.

"Shut up! Monster!!"

And the roars of the villagers made them tremble with fear again.

"Your parents are just like you!"

"If I had known better, I should have killed you while you were still babies!"

"No... don't be afraid."

Only Xia Youjie gently comforted the two girls.

"You who despise non-magicians, and you who deny that kind of self. Which one is your sincerity..." Regarding this question, he already had the answer in his heart at this moment.

So, after Xia Youjie comforted the two girls, he smiled and suggested to the villagers.

"Everyone, let's go outside first."

Then...

"ah!!"

"What!?"

"Why!! Ahhhhh!!"

"No ah ah ah -"

"Please, stop-"

Continuous screams rang out in the village.

Five days after the person in charge (Xia Youjie, a third-year junior high school student) was dispatched to the mission, it was confirmed that a total of 112 residents of the old xx village died.

The initial guess was that it was caused by a curse spirit. After analyzing the residue, it was concluded that it was caused by Xia Youjie's curse spirit technique.

Xia Youjie fled.

According to Article 9 of the Curse Regulations.

As a conjurer, he became a target of execution.

Gojo Satoru, who learned about Xia Youjie's murder, had a look of disbelief on his face.

"……What?"

"How many times do you want me to repeat it?" Noctua sighed helplessly, "Jie killed everyone in the village, and his current whereabouts are unknown."

"Of course I heard it. That's why I asked what you were talking about."

Gojo Satoru said it was incomprehensible.

In his mind, it might be normal for him to do such a thing, but it was impossible for Xia Youjie.

After all, it was Xia Youjie who stopped him from killing those scum in the first place.

"...Jie's home is empty." Noctua continued, "But based on the blood and filth left at the scene, it is estimated that he killed his parents with his own hands."

"How is that possible!!"

Hearing this, Gojo Satoru was even more unbelievable.

"Enlightenment."

Noctua Zhengdao covered his face, "I also...can't understand what happened to him at all."

············

"Do you need fire?"

On the other side, on a crowded street.

The house owner smoked a cigarette but could not find the source of the fire.

"Do you need fire?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came.

She scratched her head and looked over. She was a little surprised at first, but she still smiled lightly and said jokingly, "Isn't this the criminal brother? What are you doing?"

Yes, the person who came to her was none other than Xia Youjie, whom he was very familiar with.

"Hi."

Xia Youjie smiled and greeted her as usual, no... he felt more relaxed than usual.

Xia Youjie smiled and took out a lighter to light a cigarette for the other party.
