COSER, summoned by the strongest

Finally, they invited the old butler into the reception room.

The old butler tremblingly walked into the stronghold of the Panxing Cult, and kept a certain distance from the purple-haired heroic spirit.

It is not an illusion, this young man has a lot of hostility towards himself.

Kong Shiyu left voluntarily. Riko Tenuchi and Misato Kuroi didn't come out of their room when they knew there was a guest coming. Xia Youjie originally wanted to avoid it, but Al looked nervous for fear that someone would snatch his child away. , No matter how hard he pulled, he refused to leave, so he had to stay with Al.

He is not worried about Satoru, but only worried about Al's mother's love bursting out and hurting people under the personality of "Minen Raimitsu".

"Al." He said helplessly in the team channel: "This is a family matter of the Gojo family, we shouldn't be sitting here."

"Jie-chan." Al said seriously, "Wu-chan's family affairs are our family affairs."

...It sounds reasonable, but there is no such reason at all!

"Yo." Jia Ruo Nizizi gossiped, "The people from the Wutiao family finally went to find you?"

Xia Youjie: "!!!"

Gojo Satoru: "!!!"

Good guy, so you are still there!

The teenagers who often forgot that Jia Ni was also in the chat group were startled, Xia Youjie quickly asked, "Grass? Do you know what's going on?"

Jia Ruzi said coolly: "I don't know. But in the morning, people from Wujo's family came to see Mr. Ye Moth. As for what they talked about, I don't know at all."

"..."

It does sound like they came prepared, um, at least they reached some kind of consensus with Mr. Ye Moth or the high school.

Al said with a sad face: "Jie sauce, I always feel that the little home we just built will be forcibly destroyed by external forces."

He now looks like a parent who is worried about his children going to work in big cities and then never returning.

Xia Youjie was shocked by his wonderful metaphor, and said dryly: "Really? I didn't know you liked this stronghold so much."

Al said sadly: "You don't understand, this stronghold symbolizes the beginning of a story."

Jia Ruozi silently pricked up his ears.

I just heard Al continue: "The three of us, mother and son, have grown up together, deepening the bond little by little in the difficult life, and have more and more beautiful memories, as well as the career and wealth we created together, and the closer and closer we are. love and ideals.”

Jia Ruozi: "..."

No, it's been a while since I saw you, and your style of painting has changed to this?

Xia Youjie: "..."

Gojo Satoru: "..."

The painting style of this berserker is getting weirder day by day, to the extent that the real Minamoto Larimitsu will fight when he sees it.

Al said sadly: "But, but our earth-shattering new life has not even begun, and we are facing a super crisis. What should we do? We haven't earned billions of dollars, and we have received the nitrous in a smooth manner—"

Jia Ruozi complained, "So there is still such an agreement between us?"

Gojo Wu on the side said speechlessly: "Hey, Al, I haven't expressed anything yet."

Xia Youjie also complained: "In the hard life, increase the fetters little by little... Are you sure? Your main character will only be nestled in the kotatsu, reading manga and listening to music. If you can run an online store, you are the best." God."

They chatted enthusiastically in the team channel and were busy complaining to each other, but in the eyes of the housekeeper of the Wutiao family, all three of them were extremely silent, and the atmosphere on the scene was very awkward.

After a while, the housekeeper took the initiative to say: "Master Wu, Mr. Xia You, Mr. Al... Mr. Before coming here, I visited the senior management and Mr. Ye Moth. They also know that I came here to see you."

Gojo Satoru leaned on the sofa behind him and said indifferently, "Oh, so what? Let's get straight to the point. You know I've never been patient with things I'm not interested in."

So the old butler obediently went straight to the topic: "As long as the two are willing to turn around, the higher-ups are willing to—" He was halfway through speaking, and then cautiously changed his words: "The higher-ups are willing to accept the two of you again."

Gojo Satoru smiled.

His blue eyes were so clear and indifferent, as if he had seen through everything long ago.

"Let me guess, the original words of those rotten oranges are trying to give us a chance to redeem our sins?"

The old butler sighed inwardly, as acquiesced.

This is the meaning of the high-level, and it is also the development that both the Gotiao family and the high school hope.

He is the clearest about Gojo Gojo's uncompromising temper, and because of that, they never came to Tokyo to disturb him after Gojo Gojo went to high school, but this time the incident was really too big.

It’s so big that no one can sit still, even the elders of the Wujo family are jumping up and down in their own houses, wishing to fly directly in front of Wujo Wu and shout that their children and grandchildren are not filial-but the truth is, no one dares to do this, only one dares to persuade It was he, the hard-working old housekeeper, who Wujo realized.

Fortunately, Gojo Satoru did give him a face.

The white-haired boy said impatiently: "If you want to persuade me, just say it directly. By the way, our reception room is charged at 10 yuan for 1000 minutes, so you'd better finish speaking early."

The old butler: "..."

On the side, the man with long purple hair looked at the butler expressionlessly, and clenched the knife around his waist. As long as the butler dared to say something that moved Gojo Satoru, he would be able to separate the poor old butler on the spot.

The old butler: "..."

Who the hell is this gentleman?

Perhaps because he had received his heartfelt words, Al smiled slightly, and said "friendly": "Friendly reminder, you have been sitting here for 10 minutes."

The old butler: "..."

Wait, are you serious about asking for money? !

The aged butler sighed, and spoke faster: "In fact, the higher-ups don't want to be enemies with the two super magicians, and the Wutiao family will do their best to keep them. If Master Wu and Mr. Xia You want to return to Gao After school, there is still room for change in this matter.”

Gojo Satoru asked him: "Is that so? We can go back to the high school to continue studying. What about Riko that day?"

The old housekeeper was silent for a while, then shook his head lightly.

Wujo Wu said indifferently: "The reason."

"...high-level officials believe that the existence of Riko Amane has challenged their authority."

Gojo Satoru smiled: "Are they serious? We did not hesitate to go to war with Tianyuan to keep Lizi. Now, we will abandon her for Gaozhuan? They don't really think that rural place is great?"

Xia Youjie rubbed the center of his brows, but he didn't intervene in the conversation between Wujo Wu and the old housekeeper.

At this time, Al raised his head consciously, looking in the direction of the door of the reception room.

The old housekeeper seemed to have guessed that Gojo Goku would say this, he calmly explained: "The deadline for assimilation has passed, Lord Tianyuan is safe and sound, the enchantment and 'tent' of the high school can be used normally, the astral body existence has become meaningless."

When he said the word "meaningless", his tone sank slightly, but he quickly covered it up.

"It doesn't matter whether the astral body is alive or dead. Now that things are up, the high-level officials don't have to kill her, as long as they send her abroad, the result will be the same."

"..."

"Master Wu and Mr. Xia You challenged the higher-ups for the astral body. Sending the astral body out of Japan is a step back for both parties."

"Did you hear that, Jay?"

Xia Youjie sighed and said, "I heard, the hopelessly rotten oranges have rotted to the point of stink. The thought of continuing to work for them as laborers in the future makes me want to vomit."

"Ha, I think so too."

"Why does she have to leave?" Gojo Satoru raised the corners of his mouth and sneered, "Going to a completely strange country, speaking a strange language, and keeping anonymity, is it just to maintain the face of the rotten oranges?"

"Yes." The old butler said helplessly, "This is for the face of the higher-ups."

He simply let go.

"Power and status are what they have pursued all their lives. In their eyes, their majesty is much more important than a girl's life. The higher-ups think so, and the Gotiao family also thinks so, and Gao Zhuan has no objection to this." No one in this world cares about whether the astral body is free, whether it is safe or not, whether it is happy or not, she is just a tool, a symbol, and no one really cares about her life or death except you."

Gojo Satoru smiled and said, "You dare to say it."

"It's the truth, sir."

Xia Youjie finally said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Housekeeper, but we will not fulfill their wish. Sister Lizi can already live in the sun dignifiedly. As long as we firmly stand by her side, she will You can live freely."

"..."

The old butler sighed softly.

He had known for a long time that this trip would probably return in vain, but seeing the upright and stubborn appearance of the teenagers, he felt inexplicably sad.

This kind of stubbornness—not just referring to this astral event—how long can this kind of stubbornness last?

Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, anyway, it will end one day.

Gojo Satoru waved his hand, interrupting the butler's inexplicable sentimentality: "Have you finished the lecture? You can go back after the lecture, and tell others that we will never repent, and we will fight you. In short, try to sell a wave of misery, you mission is over."

The old butler: "..."

Al smiled and said, "Are you done talking? Oh, the time is exactly 10 minutes, and you will be charged 2000 yuan."

The old butler: "..."

Very good, the young master is relieved to have such a companion who can manage the house by his side.He took out two 1000-yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to Al, and left the waiting room.

When he opened the door, he bumped into Riko Tenuchi who was standing outside the door. Riko Tenuchi stood quietly outside the door, as if she had no intention of avoiding it.

The old housekeeper paused, nodded to her, and left calmly.

"Lizi." Xia Youjie said softly, "Don't think too much. Didn't we make an appointment? No matter what choice you make, we will guarantee your future."

"Well, I trust you."

Riko Amauchi showed them a smug smile.

"Just now... I suddenly thought, without me, you would have had a bright future, right?"

Gojo Satoru rolled his eyes: "Are you an idiot? No matter what happens, our future is the brightest."

Riko Tennouchi burst out laughing.

Al walked over and patted Riko Tennai on the shoulder lovingly: "That's right, Riko-chan, you should trust Wu-chan and Jie-chan more, they are very loyal children."

Xia Youjie said helplessly: "Return this sentence to yourself. If you say you want to be independent together, then of course you will be independent together. Wucai will not leave with his family. Don't worry about gains and losses there for no reason."

Gojo Wu said unhappily, "That's right."

Al expressed that he was very moved. When the sons grow up, they will awkwardly comfort the insecure mother. It is really something worth celebrating.

When Al was happy, Tenuchi Riko also patted Al's shoulder lightly.

Al tilted his head, "What's the matter, Riko-chan?"

Riko Tenuchi asked with a serious face, "Who are you?"

Gojo Wu & Xia Youjie: "..."

Kong Shiyu is an ordinary man.

Ordinary enough to give people the illusion that this guy looks like a high-level assistant supervisor.

On this day, Mr. Kong Shiyu, who looks like an assistant supervisor, brought the first commission.

"The client is a guy I know. A colleague in her company was attacked by an unidentified curse spirit and is currently in the hospital. There is no pay for this task-because she is also poor, but according to her analysis, the curse spirit should be quite powerful .”

Putting his hands in his suit pockets, he said to Xia Youjie, "Either you can earn money, or you can earn curse spirits. As long as you meet the above requirements, you can entrust—is that what you said, Xia You?"

"Yes, that's right." Xia Youjie said with a smile: "After subduing the curse spirit, I will pay you an agency fee according to the level of the spell spirit. Don't worry, since I plan to cooperate for a long time, I will not play tricks on the issue of agency fees. of."

Kong Shiyu smiled, "Ah, don't worry, I actually trust you a lot—I mean, when it comes to collecting agency fees. Then, here is the address and contact information."

Xia Youjie took the note and took a look.

"Kawasaki City...?"

Kawasaki City is very close to Tokyo, and it is connected to Tokyo and Yokohama neighborhoods. If you take a car, you only need to take one stop to reach it smoothly.

It just so happened that Gojo Satoru had recently gained a new understanding of the reversal technique, so Xia Youjie only took Al to set off on this day.

"Wu-chan's reversal technique always feels like it's almost done."

"Well, almost."

Al and Xia Youjie walked out of the station in Kawasaki City one after the other. The scenery outside the station was not noisy, but it was clean and comfortable, and it was a city full of life.

The heroic spirit with long purple hair flicked his hair: "The last time I went out alone with Jie-chan was when I went back to Jie-chan's house."

Xia Youjie nodded, feeling a little emotional.

"That's right, it's been almost a year now."

Al asked him half-seriously and half jokingly: "Aren't you planning to go home and have a look?"

Xia Youjie smiled helplessly and said, "No, I can just send money to my family on time every month. They probably don't know that I dropped out of school."

Since he entered a college, he has been rebellious to the limit. He has long hair, pierced ears, changed school uniforms, and skipped classes at every turn. Now he has directly upgraded to drop out of school to start his own business, and plans to develop a church.

At first glance, it sounds like a completely hopeless young man who lost his way.

When he was thinking this way, Al grabbed his shoulders and kissed his hair hard.

"It's okay! It's enough for Jie-chan to have a mother!"

Xia Youjie didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "...Yes, yes."

He took out his mobile phone and looked through the phone book: "Contact... Let me see, it's Manami Suda, right?"

"Oh, is that the person?"

"Ok?"

Xia Youjie looked up following Al's gaze, and saw a beautiful woman with big curly hair and a well-dressed suit waving at them.

So Xia Youjie also waved to him.

Sure enough, the beautiful woman who received the response came over gracefully, and introduced herself: "I am Manami Suda, and you were introduced by Kong Shiyu... um, monk?"

"Yes." Xia Youjie said without changing his expression, "We are the exorcists introduced by Mr. Kong, just call me Saito One Two Three."

Saito One Two Three is a fake identity shared by Al, Wujo Wu, and Xia Youjie. As for why the name is so perfunctory...you have to ask Al.

The big beauty chuckled: "What a perfunctory name, you don't look like monks at all."

Al smiled and said, "Oh, there's nothing I can do about it. It's too hot, and Jie Jiang doesn't want to wear cassock."

Xia Youjie whispered: "Al, don't call me Jiejiang, call me Saito One Two Three."

Al immediately changed his tune and said, "Oh, there's nothing I can do about it. It's too hot, and Yi Er San Jiang doesn't want to wear cassock."

beauty:"……"

She nodded inexplicably, pointed to Al, and then pointed to Xia Youjie: "Your name is Al, and your name is Jiejiang. I have already remembered that."

Xia Youjie laughed.

They took Suda Manami's car and set off for the hospital in Kawasaki City. Suda Manami said: "That guy had an accident three days ago. He was in the lobby downstairs of the company. There was a tear in his back and blood flowed all over the floor. blood. But all the colleagues in the hall at that time can attest that he was not attacked by any suspicious person, but fell down by himself inexplicably."

Al raised his eyebrows: "Curse spirit?"

"Well, it should be the curse spirit, after all, ordinary people can't see the curse spirit, can they?"

While driving, Manami Suda said, "We called an ambulance and thought the matter would be over, but unfortunately, when I went to visit him yesterday, I found that he was in poor condition."

"The condition is poor?" Xia Youjie asked, "Is it because the wound has not healed? If this is the case, it should be that the curse power of the curse spirit has eroded the wound, causing the wound to not heal and bleeding profusely."

"You do understand very well." Manami Suda comforted: "It seems that Kong Shiyu introduced me to a good magician, at least not a liar."

Xia Youjie raised his eyebrows: "Do you know magicians well?"

"I used to be a personal conjurer for a while, but this job was dangerous and insecure, so I finally resigned, and now I work in a very ordinary company."

"As a personal conjurer, it's normal if you can't continue..." Xia Youjie said gently: "May I take the liberty to ask about your strength?"

Sugata Manami shrugged: "Probably——is it a first-class?"

Wow.

One level.

There are very few first-level conjurers in the magic world, and this woman can say frankly that she is a first-class conjurer, which shows that she is full of confidence in her own strength.

So, what was the "event" that forced her to seek help from other conjurers?

When they arrived at the hospital, they saw a scrawny man.

"Senior Suda...you came to see me again. Cough, cough, cough——"

As the man spoke, he kept vomiting black blood.

Al Momo raised his hand to block Xia Youjie behind him.

The long purple-haired Heroic Spirit frowned. He lowered his head and clearly saw green caterpillars wriggling in the black blood coughed up by the man.

This is an ominous thing, a dirty thing, and humans should not be contaminated.

The man who was coughing up blood didn't realize it.

He couldn't see the worms in the blood, and after coughing earth-shatteringly for a while, he started looking for water.

"Water, water..."

He touched the empty bottle next to the bed, and suddenly flew into a rage. He screamed hysterically: "Water! Water! Water! Water!"

Manami Sugata opened the door and went to ask the nurse for water. Both Manami Sugata and the nurses outside showed no surprises, indicating that it has been like this these days in the hospital.

Xia Youjie quickly glanced at the furnishings in the ward, and noticed that the curtains in this ward were pitch black. It was clearly broad daylight, but the ward was dark and stuffy.

He walked over and was about to open the curtain, but the man said angrily, "Don't open it!"

Xia Youjie turned a deaf ear, and opened half of the curtains at once, the blinding sunlight illuminated the hospital bed, the man suddenly wailed, and writhed in pain like a bug.

"...he's afraid of the sun."

After reaching this conclusion, Xia Youjie pulled the curtain back to its original position. At this moment, the nurse came in with a box of water. Al took the box of water from her, opened it with his own hands, and handed the man a bottle. .

The man immediately got up, unscrewed the bottle cap, and began to drink water in gulps, like a traveler who has been thirsty for several days in the desert.

Xia Youjie asked the nurse, "Excuse me, has he been drinking so much water?"

The nurse was stunned, then nodded and said: "Yes, I can drink one box a day, and the amount seems to have increased again today."

Xia Youjie asked again: "What's wrong with his body?"

The nurse also seemed puzzled: "His wound has initially healed, and there are no other problems after inspection. We don't know why he is like this."

"...Well, thank you, you can go to work, we are here to take care of him."

The nurse nodded and quickly left the ward.

Sugata Manami closed the door of the ward, watched the man eagerly unscrew the second bottle of water and poured it down his throat, and said softly, "Did you see anything?"

Xia Youjie said with a serious expression: "Afraid of the sun, kept getting water, and became irritable and irritable... Al, see if there are more bugs in his blood."

Hearing this, Al held the man's skinny arm without hesitation. He slashed lightly on the man's arm with the dagger, and bright red blood flowed out. Along with the fresh blood, there were also wriggling worms. .

"..."

Sugata Manami frowned.

Xia Youjie's tone was light but firm: "Poulu demon."
