Holy patriarchal tool man
Chapter 65 One Day of the Tool Man
Gojo Satoru: "... Does this store look good?"
Xia Youjie leaned his head over and looked at his phone screen: "How is the distance?"
"It's very close to our mission location. When we get someone, let's go here for a meal first." Gojo Satoru said like this.
Hiiragi Eiji: "..."
Do these two guys really remember that they were on a quest instead of a tour? !
Hiiragi Eiji, who was eagerly reading the mission statement, was in stark contrast to the two male high school students around him.
Just when Gojo Satoru wanted to continue to explore the next recommended store with Xia Youjie, he keenly felt that the atmosphere in the car was not right. He looked up and found Hiiragi Eiji sitting expressionlessly in front of him. On the passenger seat.
"Teacher... what are you worried about?" Gojo Satoru patted the back of Hiiragi Eiji's chair dissatisfied, "No way? You won't be really scared by the description of Noctua, right?"
As he spoke, he yelled at Xia Youjie, "We are the strongest."
After hearing what he said, Xia Youjie also laughed, "Indeed."
Regardless of whether these words made Eiji Hiiragi feel relieved, anyway, the driver of the taxi along the way frequently looked at the two students through the rearview mirror, obviously surprised by their unintelligible remarks about the second class.
Hiiragi Eiji sighed helplessly in his heart, such a mission attitude is really problematic.Ten years later, Gojo Satoru will show such a relaxed and comfortable state when facing the task, that is because his strength is indeed at its peak, but compared with him now ten years later——
It is probably a gap between the top of the mountain and the one that is not halfway up the mountain.
This guy really hasn't experienced a lot of beatings, otherwise, how could he say such ignorant words with his current rookie level?
Thinking of this, Hiiragi Eiji turned his head to look at Xia Youjie who was sitting behind him calmly.The black-haired boy didn't know why, but he had been absent-minded since dinner today.
...No, it should be said that this state appeared after eating.
And just now, he was more just echoing Gojo Satoru.
Fortunately, it was in the taxi at night, Gojo Satoru didn't seem to notice the other party's situation.
Hiiragi Eiji's mood at the moment is very complicated. He probably knows why Gojo Satoru in the dream is only 17 years old. This must be because, during this period, his friend Xia Youjie had a special situation.
He has always been very concerned about Gojo Satoru's words before he fell into a coma—stop him, guide him, and save him.
It's just a short sentence, but it contains three very important information points.In the future, Xia Youjie might have done something irreversible, so Gojo Wu conjectured to stop him; as for the guidance, it was probably because his thoughts went astray completely, or it was possible that the belief he insisted on was actually wrong; He... would understand better.There is a high probability that Xia Youjie will not be around in the future.
So, this time, this mission described by Noctuid Righteousness as endangering the whole world, could it be the key point of the whole situation?
Hiiragi Eiji glanced at the dark night through the car window, the grey-purple ominous tulle was still coiled in the night sky.He remembered what happened shortly after he entered the dream—the color of the tulle deepened.Does this also support his guess?The key node is really coming.
...So, if this critical juncture is passed, will he leave soon?If this is the case, his actions at the Metropolitan Police Department will be further accelerated.
Although Eiji Hiiragi also wants to think things in a better direction, for example, Xia Youjie's thoughts have changed to a certain extent after experiencing the baptism of his mission, but if it is really so easy, how can Gojo Satoru Showing such a helpless expression?
Among them, many things must have happened that he didn't know.
After reading the mission report again, Hiei Eiji handed Xia Youjie's cell phone back to him, and the three of them also came to the boundary of Gaozhuan.
After Eiji Hiiragi got out of the car and paid the money, the three of them began to step on the steps and walk through the torii gates one after another to the inside of the high school.
Along the way, he was thinking about the contents of the mission report, Mr. Tian Yuan, the spell is "immortality", an existence who has lived for an unknown amount of time.Even the technique of immortality can exist, so the dream world he entered doesn't seem so surprising.
After the three of them saw Noctuma Zhengdao, he was poking the wool felt with his head down, and when he saw Hiiragi Eiji standing in line, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and then looked coldly at Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie , as if asking why the two of them brought Hiiragi Eiji here.
And these two people looked at each other carefully, but they refused to accept the move.Noctua Masamichi sighed heavily in his heart, and at the same time looked at Hiiragi Eiji with a complicated expression.
...The kid who even managed to solve these two difficult problems, this guy sent by Xili Qingliu is really not to be underestimated.
After briefly explaining a few words to the two of them, Noctua Masamichi stopped Hiiragi Eiji who was about to leave with the two of them.
After Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie noticed it, Dang even stopped and looked at Ye Mo Zhengdao with a vigilant face. This behavior made Ye Mo Zhengdao couldn't help but sigh heavily, "...I will Did you eat him? And do you really think Mr. Hiiragi needs you to worry about it?"
Thinking of Hiirai Eiji's abnormally strong fighting skills, and recalling the opponent's ability to instantly change the landscape, the two finally left reluctantly under the comforting eyes of Hiirai Eiji.
"Teacher Hiiragi, you must have noticed that the current students in this school have shown full trust and dependence on you." After the two walked away, Ye Mozheng said straightforwardly.
When he noticed the embarrassing expression on Hiiragi Eiji's face, even if he was a little speechless, he didn't mean any compliment, but simply stated a fact.
...What the hell is going on with this guy?
Just when Hiiragi Eiji was still a little shy because of being praised suddenly, Noctua Masamichi said suddenly: "But, do you think this is really a good thing?"
The smile on Hiiragi Eiji's face suddenly subsided, and he asked in a daze, "What?"
Ye Mozheng looked at him and said calmly: "They are destined to become unique conjurers in the future. At that time, can you still accompany them around like now? Will you really benefit their development by doing this? ?”
Noctua Moth Zhengdao's tone was very peaceful, and there was no accusation in his words, "It is precisely because they rely on you and trust you that you accompany them to paralyze their sensitive nerves, because they know, If you accompany them, it will be very safe. However, you should understand how dangerous this situation is, right?"
Hiiragi Eiji fell silent, of course he understood.
Just like during the Genin period, it was exactly the same state when being led out on missions by the Jonin teacher.
"I'm just..." Hiiragi Eiji took a deep breath, and finally pulled the corners of his lips helplessly, "I'm really worried about them."
These two people always boast that they are the strongest, but they must understand the truth that there are people beyond others and others.
"Your intentions are good," Ye Mo Zhengdao's expression softened a little, as if he was also moved by Hiiragi Eiji's worried appearance, because his expression was so real that Ye Mo Zhengdao couldn't doubt the truth in his words "On the road to growth, the people who accompany them the most are themselves after all. And we have no other way than giving them the way to use their power in normal times to make them stronger." Only constant Getting stronger is an important reliance for a magician to survive.
"However, I will not interfere with your behavior. Maybe your thinking is right." In the end, Noctua Moth said this.
When leaving the other party's office, Hiiragi Eiji slowly let out a breath of foul air in the direction of the sky.
He had to admit that what Noctua Moth Zhengdao said was very reasonable.What's more, the magic power of conjurers comes from their negative emotions, and every task is actually tempering them.
...but the mission is different this time?Hiiragi Eiji couldn't help thinking.
But another voice came out from the bottom of my heart—what's the difference?Aren't they all high-risk tasks?From another perspective, the more dangerous the task, the more it can stimulate people's potential?
With such a tangled mood, Hiiragi Eiji called Dazai Osamu while walking in the direction of the dormitory.
The phone rang about once, and he quickly picked up the person opposite, "Eiji?" Osamu Dazai's voice was a little surprised, as if he didn't understand why this person who had just left home for an hour suddenly called him.
Hiiragi Eiji also wanted to laugh at his inexplicable behavior, but after thinking about it, he was just——
"...Suddenly I want to say a few words to you, to hear your voice." Hiiragi Eiji said in a low voice, the reason is that he always felt that Osamu Dazai was actually a very reliable existence, "You—" Ready to take a shower and rest?
However, before he finished speaking, he heard a pinging sound coming from the other end of the phone, as if Osamu Dazai accidentally knocked over something.
Hiiragi Eiji's voice immediately became tense, "Dazai? Are you okay? Is something wrong?"
However, there was no answer from the other end of the phone for a long time, and just when Eiji Hiiragi was about to use Flying Thunder God to start long-distance teleportation, Osamu Dazai's faint voice finally rang out: "Eiji, you are so cunning." After leaving, he said such words to him who was left behind.
Only then did Hiiragi Eiji heave a sigh of relief, "...So, did you hit something just now?"
Osamu Dazai remained silent again, and Eiji Hiiragi didn't speak anymore, he just walked to a nearby big tree, and poked the bark covered with lines one after another.
"Tell me, what happened over there?"
Hiiragi Eiji nodded in satisfaction when he heard the beep of the microwave oven on the other end of the phone.It seems that even after he left, Osamu Dazai still remembered to warm himself a cup of milk before going to bed every day.
Eiji Hiiragi thought for two seconds, and couldn't help but relay the conversation between Masamichi Noctua and him just now to Osamu Dazai, "... Teacher Noctua is right, I seem to care too much about them." To Osamu Dazai Too.Thinking of this, Eiji Hiiragi felt a little depressed, "Is it because I don't trust you enough? I just—"
"You just care about these people." Dazai Osamu made such a judgment for Hiiragi Eiji in a calm and rational voice, "Eiji, don't doubt yourself, you can also make them grow and become stronger, but your means are more powerful. Just for peace."
Hiiragi Eiji's heart beat heavily, he finally knew why he wanted to call Osamu Dazai, because this person was always affirming him, and this gave him strength invisibly.
Hiiragi Eiji felt his ears burning hot at this moment, it was too bad, he was obviously the father, yet he always got spiritual comfort from Dazai.
As if feeling Eiji Hiiragi's uncomfortable mood at the moment, Osamu Dazai laughed softly, "Eiji, are you happy staying here?"
Hiiragi Eiji said without any hesitation: "Well, of course." In this illusory world, he has done many things that he was unable to accomplish in reality.
He became the guardian of Osamu Dazai; his power was not sealed, which led him to easily sneak into the high-level of the magic world, and he could carry out a reform; he could rely on his own strength to fulfill Wujo Wu's wish; Fu Jingguang's fate as an undercover agent has always been closely watching Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinhei, in case they encounter unscientific bombings...
He was undoubtedly happy.
but--
Hiiragi Eiji let out a low sigh.
Everything in front of me is just a dream after all.
"Why are you sighing?" Osamu Dazai asked.
Hiiragi Eiji hesitated several times, and still hesitated to put forward a euphemistic hypothetical proposition to Osamu Dazai: "... Dazai, if I told you that all this is just a dream, what would you think? You see, even the technique of "immortality" The spells are all real, so it doesn't seem strange that some people's spells are "dream building", right? "
"Do you think so?" Osamu Dazai asked calmly, "This kind of argument is indeed very reasonable. Moreover, there are not only spells in this world, but also supernatural abilities. With supernatural abilities that have such effects, I also agree with them." I won't be surprised." He actually didn't know what happened before Hiiragi Eiji came, and he didn't know why the other party thought it was a dream.He just had a vague guess—probably what the half of the "book" that went to Eiji's world did.
But that's good too, at least after coming here, Eiji didn't show any panic.He had made countless bad conjectures. For example, Eiji couldn't accept that he came to a strange world suddenly. He even thought of several sets of excuses to calm him down and realize that he could never go back to another world. world.
But with the help of the "book", he proudly omitted even this important step.
So what if the world is a dream?At least Eiji really appeared here.
After hearing such an answer, I felt as expected. Sure enough, people in this world would not believe such rhetoric.
However, the next second——
"Since in your eyes, all of this is just a dream, then no matter what Eiji does, it's okay, right? Because all of this is false." Dazai Osamu's low voice came over, and such words seemed to carry The meaning of demagogy, Hiiragi Eiji was instantly substituted into this hypothesis.
...Because it's fake, so there's nothing wrong with him doing anything?As long as it can reach his goal——
However, in an instant, Hiiragi Eiji woke up from this assumption.
He took a deep breath, "...But, even so, I don't seem to be able to do it."
He is awake in this dream. Under such circumstances, what excuses and reasons does he have to violate his principles?
Even in a dream, he wants to protect everyone in the best way possible.Even if it's all just fake.Because this world is so real, and at the same time, Hiiragi Eiji also has his own selfishness - this place is so real that even if he leaves, it seems that it will continue to operate.
If this is really the case, that would be great. He hoped that after he left, everyone here would be able to avoid all bad endings and move forward towards a bright future as they are now.It is precisely because of such greedy and unrealistic thoughts that he wants to open up a path that is most suitable for everyone.
"Do you think it's silly to persist like this?" Obviously there are many shortcuts in front of you, but——
He couldn't go against his own heart.Even in a dream, he couldn't do it.
"How could it be?" Osamu Dazai's laughing voice sounded, "Eiji like this seems to be shining."
Because Eiji is always such a dazzling and firm existence.
This is the person he wants to bring into this world no matter what.
After the conversation with Osamu Dazai, the gloom in Eiji Hiiragi's heart was swept away, and it was also during this conversation that he understood what he wanted most.
the next day--
"Eh?! Not going?!" Gojo Satoru looked at the apologetic Hiiragi Eiji in shock, "What do you mean not going? Didn't you agree to stay with us?"
Xia Youjie was also a little surprised, because Hiiragi Eiji didn't look like the type who would change his mind temporarily, especially when he was so concerned about this task.
In order to prevent his words from being doubted by the two, Hiiragi Eiji gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, because Master Siri needs to temporarily recall me. So you must be careful about this task, and I will wait for you to come back at the high school."
This is not a lie, Xili Qingliu's vest is already preparing for a new round of negotiations with the Metropolitan Police Department.
...But, Hiiragi Eiji also lied.It's impossible not to go, but he can't follow them openly, but he has to follow behind the two secretly, watching them complete their tasks all the way so that he can feel at ease.
This also leaves opportunities for the two to grow up. After all, this is a rare high-level mission, isn't it?In the end, Hiiragi Eiji still listened to the persuasion of Noctua Masato, and he didn't want to deprive the two of them of every opportunity to grow rapidly.
If there is an emergency, he can also show up immediately to help them solve the danger.But more, as expected, still have to be handed over to themselves.
After talking about it and finally appeasing Gojo Satoru, who had accumulated dissatisfaction to the peak, Hiiragi Eiji couldn't help but restore his old father image, and talked to the two of the precautions for this mission.
Although both of them were speechless, they didn't interrupt him.
At the end, Hiiragi Eiji finally fell silent.
"Have you ever thought about a question..." He was a little confused, should these two people understand where the most cruel point of this mission is?
Judging from the mission statement, the astral body is just a code name, but when they arrive at the scene, they will find that the so-called astral body is actually a living person.And their task is actually to take such an innocent character to death.
Yes, the so-called assimilation sounds as good as it sounds, but it is to restart Tianyuan's art by sacrificing the life of the astral body.
Looking at the two high-spirited teenagers in front of him, Eiji Hiiragi couldn't say what he said behind.
And at this moment, Gojo Satoru suddenly approached Hiiragi Eiji, rubbed his chin, and tentatively said, "Could it be... Eiji, are you worried that we will feel guilty when we do this task?"
Hiiragi Eiji opened his eyes slightly.
It has to be said that Wujo Satoru at certain moments really has an extraordinary keen intuition.
Now that the other party has guessed right, Hiiragi Eiji no longer concealed it, and he nodded slightly.Gojo Satoru also straightened up, showing an unspeakable expression, "...you are the only one who would think about such a question at first guess. I don't have that kind of guilt feeling at all." He looked at Hiiragi with a smile, The light in the eyes at that moment was astonishingly dazzling, "If the astral body refuses to assimilate, then it's fine not to bring her to the high school?"
"But--"
"What's wrong!" Wujo Wu raised his voice and interrupted him, "Don't you want us to do the same?"
Hiei Yingsi subconsciously looked at Xia Youjie, and the black-haired boy helplessly spread his hands and said, "Mr. Yingsi, in this regard, your thoughts are too easy to guess. So, Wu and I discussed it last night. If she doesn't want to come If so, let her go."
Hiiragi Eiji murmured: "...But, isn't it possible to cause a world crisis?"
But Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie still looked calm, "We are the strongest, if something like that happens, can't we just deal with it?"
...Obviously these words are often heard, but at this moment, Hiiragi Eiji has a different feeling in his heart.
He really hoped that they could maintain their current appearance forever, and not let their sharpness and self-confidence be destroyed by the cruel reality.
I hope that the established future that Wujo Satoru mentioned will never happen.
Knowing that these two people are actually not the strongest level at all, but Eiji Hiiragi was strangely relieved by them, "Okay, if something bad happens, we are all accomplices. I will fight with you Let's face it together." He said with a smile.
And the moment they heard his answer, the two teenagers opened their eyes wide.
... an accomplice?
That's a pretty good adjective.
"Xia Youjie Favorability +5"
"Gojo Goku Favorability +5"
"What, while talking about not coming, he also showed that worried look. Since you are so worried, then follow up." Until he got in the car of the assistant supervisor, Gojo Satoru was still complaining, "Also said and We are accomplices, we have already talked about it to that extent, but we haven't followed up."
Xia Youjie, on the other hand, was in a very calm mood. He thought of the special missions given to him by Hiei Yingsi. At that time, it was the same as now. journey of.
Looking at Gojo Wu's unwilling expression, Xia Youjie was also dazed for a moment.
I don't know when he started to become so calm about going out on a mission alone.For a moment, he felt Hiiragi Eiji's intention, "Probably, letting go at the right time is also a way for us to become stronger quickly."
After hearing Xia Youjie's words, Gojo Satoru was also taken aback, "...Huh?! I'm already so strong!" After subconsciously saying this, he felt that his fighting spirit was instantly aroused. "It's really troublesome. In order to avoid being read by him again when I go back, Jie, I will be super serious this time?"
Xia Youjie smiled slightly, "Of course I am too."
Metropolitan Police Department, conference room.
Eiji Hiiragi, the avatar in the form of Seiri Haruyuu, was sitting in a leather chair. Opposite him was the chief inspector of the Metropolitan Police Department.
The chief of police was a man over half a century old, but his eyes did not have the numbness that men of this age often have, but were sparkling.
And at the door, stood a black-skinned young man with blond hair - Jiang Gu Ling.
Not long ago, Hiiragi Eiji submitted the collected information to the Metropolitan Police Department. Such a move caused the Metropolitan Police Department, which had been stagnant all year round, to fall into chaos.
In this chaotic situation, the special planning department for spells was formally established.And Jiang Gu Ling was transferred to this newly established department and became a member of it.
At this time, he was standing with his hands behind his back, looking forward in a straight posture.
"Mr. Siri, I specially called you here this time to let you know that after discussion, we unanimously agreed to your proposal."
At first, the people in the Metropolitan Police Department couldn't believe his purpose at all, because Xili Qingliu was also a member of the high-level spell that he wanted to eliminate. He was a privileged minority. How could such a person Cut off the back road and let their official forces forcefully intervene?
But the temptation given by Eiji Hiiragi was too great, "After mastering the magic world, your official credibility and situation will also be greatly improved? If you have such a force as your support, presumably It will be much easier to deal with everything in the future." Such words hit the hearts of the guys in the Metropolitan Police Department.
Their current situation is indeed not very good, because they discovered a large organization, but because of the secrecy and deep background of this organization, they couldn't even take action.But if they control the power of the magic world and deal with such an organization, wouldn't the odds of winning be greatly improved?
"But it sounds like only the Metropolitan Police Department has vested interests, so why are you doing this, Mr. Sealy?"
Hiiragi Eiji laughed, "Because, such a dangerous force cannot be controlled by a few people. I believe that after reading the information I integrated, you have the same idea, right? I just did something that I think is right. What's more--" He paused, he just repeated what his real boss said to him, and what followed was his own thoughts.
"I hope that one day, these conjurers can also be included in the establishment. They should enjoy the treatment that official powers should have-honor and recognition, instead of maintaining stability in the dark like now. They are also Heroes should be known by the public. Perhaps in the near future, the government will be able to train a large number of conjurers and normalize conjuration, which will also make society more stable."
The Chief of Police looked at Eiji Hiiragi in surprise, such thoughts coincided with theirs, and from the words of the other party, it was not difficult to hear that this person was really thinking about the conjurer.
And hearing such words, Jiang Gu Ling, who had no expression on his face, couldn't help but feel a little fluctuated.
...He is a very powerful person, this Mr. Siri Haruyuu.
"We have fully understood your thoughts," the Chief of Police nodded seriously, "Then, I look forward to cooperating with you, Mr. Siri. However, regarding the high-level change mentioned in your plan, are you going to how to proceed?"
Eiji Hiiragi laughed, "It's very simple, I just need to tell those old guys that Seiri Haruyuu is about to withdraw from the high-level sequence due to physical reasons. Presumably, in order to choose my next successor, they will definitely gather together. At that time , is the moment when the Metropolitan Police Department and the Supernatural Secret Service Division will do something, of course, I will not stand by and watch."
Although his tone was so gentle, the bloody smell in his words could not be concealed.
...Is this the conjurer who was active on the front line?
Jiang Gu Ling looked away calmly, and stopped looking at the middle-aged man sitting at the conference table.
The chief inspector hesitated for a while, and finally said: "But if you do this, it will do you a lot of harm but not any benefit."
Hiiragi Eiji was a little surprised, the chief inspector seemed to be thinking about Haruki Shiri, "Don't worry." He said with a smile.
Because, he is not Xili Qingliu at all.
After coming out of the conference room, Furutani Rei personally sent Hiiragi Eiji all the way to the gate of the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Do you need me to take you back, Mr. Siri?" Jiang Gu Ling asked.
Hiiragi Eiji shook his head, he couldn't help but look at Furutani Rei twice more.How wonderful, this dream world.Neither Zero nor Jing Guang was sent to the Black Clothes Organization. They both joined the Special Planning Division for Spells. Unlike Zero, Jing Guang was directly appointed as the police stationed in the magic world in the future. At this time, he was following Xili Qingliu By his side, he handles daily chores for him.
It is also responsible for reporting the news of Xili Qingliu to the Metropolitan Police Department.It was precisely because of the information Jing Guang brought back that the Metropolitan Police Department agreed to cooperate with him so quickly.
"How is it, Fugu-kun, is your acceptance of news from the magic world okay?" Hiiragi Eiji asked him with a smile.
The black-skinned young man was startled for a moment, then nodded, "No problem."
"That's good," Eiji Hiiragi said, "Your colleague Zhu Fujun is also adapting well, it seems that you are all suitable for the tasks of this department." He quietly conveyed the situation of Zhu Fu Jingguang to Jiang Guling , lest the other party worry.
Rei Fuguya obviously also felt the kindness released by Eiji Hiiragi, which puzzled him very much.
...He always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this high-ranking man in the magic circle. The other party seemed to know him very well, and every time the other party came over, he would chat with him for a few words.It is difficult for Jiang Gu Ling to have any ill feeling towards such a person, even, he is very curious about this person.
He wanted to know the reason for all this.
According to the Superintendent of Police, it was the gentleman who had personally chosen him as a contact.
Perhaps feeling the other party's obvious kindness, Furutani Rei couldn't help but said before Hiiragi Eiji left: "Mr. Siri, did you know me before this?"
Xia Youjie leaned his head over and looked at his phone screen: "How is the distance?"
"It's very close to our mission location. When we get someone, let's go here for a meal first." Gojo Satoru said like this.
Hiiragi Eiji: "..."
Do these two guys really remember that they were on a quest instead of a tour? !
Hiiragi Eiji, who was eagerly reading the mission statement, was in stark contrast to the two male high school students around him.
Just when Gojo Satoru wanted to continue to explore the next recommended store with Xia Youjie, he keenly felt that the atmosphere in the car was not right. He looked up and found Hiiragi Eiji sitting expressionlessly in front of him. On the passenger seat.
"Teacher... what are you worried about?" Gojo Satoru patted the back of Hiiragi Eiji's chair dissatisfied, "No way? You won't be really scared by the description of Noctua, right?"
As he spoke, he yelled at Xia Youjie, "We are the strongest."
After hearing what he said, Xia Youjie also laughed, "Indeed."
Regardless of whether these words made Eiji Hiiragi feel relieved, anyway, the driver of the taxi along the way frequently looked at the two students through the rearview mirror, obviously surprised by their unintelligible remarks about the second class.
Hiiragi Eiji sighed helplessly in his heart, such a mission attitude is really problematic.Ten years later, Gojo Satoru will show such a relaxed and comfortable state when facing the task, that is because his strength is indeed at its peak, but compared with him now ten years later——
It is probably a gap between the top of the mountain and the one that is not halfway up the mountain.
This guy really hasn't experienced a lot of beatings, otherwise, how could he say such ignorant words with his current rookie level?
Thinking of this, Hiiragi Eiji turned his head to look at Xia Youjie who was sitting behind him calmly.The black-haired boy didn't know why, but he had been absent-minded since dinner today.
...No, it should be said that this state appeared after eating.
And just now, he was more just echoing Gojo Satoru.
Fortunately, it was in the taxi at night, Gojo Satoru didn't seem to notice the other party's situation.
Hiiragi Eiji's mood at the moment is very complicated. He probably knows why Gojo Satoru in the dream is only 17 years old. This must be because, during this period, his friend Xia Youjie had a special situation.
He has always been very concerned about Gojo Satoru's words before he fell into a coma—stop him, guide him, and save him.
It's just a short sentence, but it contains three very important information points.In the future, Xia Youjie might have done something irreversible, so Gojo Wu conjectured to stop him; as for the guidance, it was probably because his thoughts went astray completely, or it was possible that the belief he insisted on was actually wrong; He... would understand better.There is a high probability that Xia Youjie will not be around in the future.
So, this time, this mission described by Noctuid Righteousness as endangering the whole world, could it be the key point of the whole situation?
Hiiragi Eiji glanced at the dark night through the car window, the grey-purple ominous tulle was still coiled in the night sky.He remembered what happened shortly after he entered the dream—the color of the tulle deepened.Does this also support his guess?The key node is really coming.
...So, if this critical juncture is passed, will he leave soon?If this is the case, his actions at the Metropolitan Police Department will be further accelerated.
Although Eiji Hiiragi also wants to think things in a better direction, for example, Xia Youjie's thoughts have changed to a certain extent after experiencing the baptism of his mission, but if it is really so easy, how can Gojo Satoru Showing such a helpless expression?
Among them, many things must have happened that he didn't know.
After reading the mission report again, Hiei Eiji handed Xia Youjie's cell phone back to him, and the three of them also came to the boundary of Gaozhuan.
After Eiji Hiiragi got out of the car and paid the money, the three of them began to step on the steps and walk through the torii gates one after another to the inside of the high school.
Along the way, he was thinking about the contents of the mission report, Mr. Tian Yuan, the spell is "immortality", an existence who has lived for an unknown amount of time.Even the technique of immortality can exist, so the dream world he entered doesn't seem so surprising.
After the three of them saw Noctuma Zhengdao, he was poking the wool felt with his head down, and when he saw Hiiragi Eiji standing in line, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and then looked coldly at Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie , as if asking why the two of them brought Hiiragi Eiji here.
And these two people looked at each other carefully, but they refused to accept the move.Noctua Masamichi sighed heavily in his heart, and at the same time looked at Hiiragi Eiji with a complicated expression.
...The kid who even managed to solve these two difficult problems, this guy sent by Xili Qingliu is really not to be underestimated.
After briefly explaining a few words to the two of them, Noctua Masamichi stopped Hiiragi Eiji who was about to leave with the two of them.
After Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie noticed it, Dang even stopped and looked at Ye Mo Zhengdao with a vigilant face. This behavior made Ye Mo Zhengdao couldn't help but sigh heavily, "...I will Did you eat him? And do you really think Mr. Hiiragi needs you to worry about it?"
Thinking of Hiirai Eiji's abnormally strong fighting skills, and recalling the opponent's ability to instantly change the landscape, the two finally left reluctantly under the comforting eyes of Hiirai Eiji.
"Teacher Hiiragi, you must have noticed that the current students in this school have shown full trust and dependence on you." After the two walked away, Ye Mozheng said straightforwardly.
When he noticed the embarrassing expression on Hiiragi Eiji's face, even if he was a little speechless, he didn't mean any compliment, but simply stated a fact.
...What the hell is going on with this guy?
Just when Hiiragi Eiji was still a little shy because of being praised suddenly, Noctua Masamichi said suddenly: "But, do you think this is really a good thing?"
The smile on Hiiragi Eiji's face suddenly subsided, and he asked in a daze, "What?"
Ye Mozheng looked at him and said calmly: "They are destined to become unique conjurers in the future. At that time, can you still accompany them around like now? Will you really benefit their development by doing this? ?”
Noctua Moth Zhengdao's tone was very peaceful, and there was no accusation in his words, "It is precisely because they rely on you and trust you that you accompany them to paralyze their sensitive nerves, because they know, If you accompany them, it will be very safe. However, you should understand how dangerous this situation is, right?"
Hiiragi Eiji fell silent, of course he understood.
Just like during the Genin period, it was exactly the same state when being led out on missions by the Jonin teacher.
"I'm just..." Hiiragi Eiji took a deep breath, and finally pulled the corners of his lips helplessly, "I'm really worried about them."
These two people always boast that they are the strongest, but they must understand the truth that there are people beyond others and others.
"Your intentions are good," Ye Mo Zhengdao's expression softened a little, as if he was also moved by Hiiragi Eiji's worried appearance, because his expression was so real that Ye Mo Zhengdao couldn't doubt the truth in his words "On the road to growth, the people who accompany them the most are themselves after all. And we have no other way than giving them the way to use their power in normal times to make them stronger." Only constant Getting stronger is an important reliance for a magician to survive.
"However, I will not interfere with your behavior. Maybe your thinking is right." In the end, Noctua Moth said this.
When leaving the other party's office, Hiiragi Eiji slowly let out a breath of foul air in the direction of the sky.
He had to admit that what Noctua Moth Zhengdao said was very reasonable.What's more, the magic power of conjurers comes from their negative emotions, and every task is actually tempering them.
...but the mission is different this time?Hiiragi Eiji couldn't help thinking.
But another voice came out from the bottom of my heart—what's the difference?Aren't they all high-risk tasks?From another perspective, the more dangerous the task, the more it can stimulate people's potential?
With such a tangled mood, Hiiragi Eiji called Dazai Osamu while walking in the direction of the dormitory.
The phone rang about once, and he quickly picked up the person opposite, "Eiji?" Osamu Dazai's voice was a little surprised, as if he didn't understand why this person who had just left home for an hour suddenly called him.
Hiiragi Eiji also wanted to laugh at his inexplicable behavior, but after thinking about it, he was just——
"...Suddenly I want to say a few words to you, to hear your voice." Hiiragi Eiji said in a low voice, the reason is that he always felt that Osamu Dazai was actually a very reliable existence, "You—" Ready to take a shower and rest?
However, before he finished speaking, he heard a pinging sound coming from the other end of the phone, as if Osamu Dazai accidentally knocked over something.
Hiiragi Eiji's voice immediately became tense, "Dazai? Are you okay? Is something wrong?"
However, there was no answer from the other end of the phone for a long time, and just when Eiji Hiiragi was about to use Flying Thunder God to start long-distance teleportation, Osamu Dazai's faint voice finally rang out: "Eiji, you are so cunning." After leaving, he said such words to him who was left behind.
Only then did Hiiragi Eiji heave a sigh of relief, "...So, did you hit something just now?"
Osamu Dazai remained silent again, and Eiji Hiiragi didn't speak anymore, he just walked to a nearby big tree, and poked the bark covered with lines one after another.
"Tell me, what happened over there?"
Hiiragi Eiji nodded in satisfaction when he heard the beep of the microwave oven on the other end of the phone.It seems that even after he left, Osamu Dazai still remembered to warm himself a cup of milk before going to bed every day.
Eiji Hiiragi thought for two seconds, and couldn't help but relay the conversation between Masamichi Noctua and him just now to Osamu Dazai, "... Teacher Noctua is right, I seem to care too much about them." To Osamu Dazai Too.Thinking of this, Eiji Hiiragi felt a little depressed, "Is it because I don't trust you enough? I just—"
"You just care about these people." Dazai Osamu made such a judgment for Hiiragi Eiji in a calm and rational voice, "Eiji, don't doubt yourself, you can also make them grow and become stronger, but your means are more powerful. Just for peace."
Hiiragi Eiji's heart beat heavily, he finally knew why he wanted to call Osamu Dazai, because this person was always affirming him, and this gave him strength invisibly.
Hiiragi Eiji felt his ears burning hot at this moment, it was too bad, he was obviously the father, yet he always got spiritual comfort from Dazai.
As if feeling Eiji Hiiragi's uncomfortable mood at the moment, Osamu Dazai laughed softly, "Eiji, are you happy staying here?"
Hiiragi Eiji said without any hesitation: "Well, of course." In this illusory world, he has done many things that he was unable to accomplish in reality.
He became the guardian of Osamu Dazai; his power was not sealed, which led him to easily sneak into the high-level of the magic world, and he could carry out a reform; he could rely on his own strength to fulfill Wujo Wu's wish; Fu Jingguang's fate as an undercover agent has always been closely watching Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinhei, in case they encounter unscientific bombings...
He was undoubtedly happy.
but--
Hiiragi Eiji let out a low sigh.
Everything in front of me is just a dream after all.
"Why are you sighing?" Osamu Dazai asked.
Hiiragi Eiji hesitated several times, and still hesitated to put forward a euphemistic hypothetical proposition to Osamu Dazai: "... Dazai, if I told you that all this is just a dream, what would you think? You see, even the technique of "immortality" The spells are all real, so it doesn't seem strange that some people's spells are "dream building", right? "
"Do you think so?" Osamu Dazai asked calmly, "This kind of argument is indeed very reasonable. Moreover, there are not only spells in this world, but also supernatural abilities. With supernatural abilities that have such effects, I also agree with them." I won't be surprised." He actually didn't know what happened before Hiiragi Eiji came, and he didn't know why the other party thought it was a dream.He just had a vague guess—probably what the half of the "book" that went to Eiji's world did.
But that's good too, at least after coming here, Eiji didn't show any panic.He had made countless bad conjectures. For example, Eiji couldn't accept that he came to a strange world suddenly. He even thought of several sets of excuses to calm him down and realize that he could never go back to another world. world.
But with the help of the "book", he proudly omitted even this important step.
So what if the world is a dream?At least Eiji really appeared here.
After hearing such an answer, I felt as expected. Sure enough, people in this world would not believe such rhetoric.
However, the next second——
"Since in your eyes, all of this is just a dream, then no matter what Eiji does, it's okay, right? Because all of this is false." Dazai Osamu's low voice came over, and such words seemed to carry The meaning of demagogy, Hiiragi Eiji was instantly substituted into this hypothesis.
...Because it's fake, so there's nothing wrong with him doing anything?As long as it can reach his goal——
However, in an instant, Hiiragi Eiji woke up from this assumption.
He took a deep breath, "...But, even so, I don't seem to be able to do it."
He is awake in this dream. Under such circumstances, what excuses and reasons does he have to violate his principles?
Even in a dream, he wants to protect everyone in the best way possible.Even if it's all just fake.Because this world is so real, and at the same time, Hiiragi Eiji also has his own selfishness - this place is so real that even if he leaves, it seems that it will continue to operate.
If this is really the case, that would be great. He hoped that after he left, everyone here would be able to avoid all bad endings and move forward towards a bright future as they are now.It is precisely because of such greedy and unrealistic thoughts that he wants to open up a path that is most suitable for everyone.
"Do you think it's silly to persist like this?" Obviously there are many shortcuts in front of you, but——
He couldn't go against his own heart.Even in a dream, he couldn't do it.
"How could it be?" Osamu Dazai's laughing voice sounded, "Eiji like this seems to be shining."
Because Eiji is always such a dazzling and firm existence.
This is the person he wants to bring into this world no matter what.
After the conversation with Osamu Dazai, the gloom in Eiji Hiiragi's heart was swept away, and it was also during this conversation that he understood what he wanted most.
the next day--
"Eh?! Not going?!" Gojo Satoru looked at the apologetic Hiiragi Eiji in shock, "What do you mean not going? Didn't you agree to stay with us?"
Xia Youjie was also a little surprised, because Hiiragi Eiji didn't look like the type who would change his mind temporarily, especially when he was so concerned about this task.
In order to prevent his words from being doubted by the two, Hiiragi Eiji gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, because Master Siri needs to temporarily recall me. So you must be careful about this task, and I will wait for you to come back at the high school."
This is not a lie, Xili Qingliu's vest is already preparing for a new round of negotiations with the Metropolitan Police Department.
...But, Hiiragi Eiji also lied.It's impossible not to go, but he can't follow them openly, but he has to follow behind the two secretly, watching them complete their tasks all the way so that he can feel at ease.
This also leaves opportunities for the two to grow up. After all, this is a rare high-level mission, isn't it?In the end, Hiiragi Eiji still listened to the persuasion of Noctua Masato, and he didn't want to deprive the two of them of every opportunity to grow rapidly.
If there is an emergency, he can also show up immediately to help them solve the danger.But more, as expected, still have to be handed over to themselves.
After talking about it and finally appeasing Gojo Satoru, who had accumulated dissatisfaction to the peak, Hiiragi Eiji couldn't help but restore his old father image, and talked to the two of the precautions for this mission.
Although both of them were speechless, they didn't interrupt him.
At the end, Hiiragi Eiji finally fell silent.
"Have you ever thought about a question..." He was a little confused, should these two people understand where the most cruel point of this mission is?
Judging from the mission statement, the astral body is just a code name, but when they arrive at the scene, they will find that the so-called astral body is actually a living person.And their task is actually to take such an innocent character to death.
Yes, the so-called assimilation sounds as good as it sounds, but it is to restart Tianyuan's art by sacrificing the life of the astral body.
Looking at the two high-spirited teenagers in front of him, Eiji Hiiragi couldn't say what he said behind.
And at this moment, Gojo Satoru suddenly approached Hiiragi Eiji, rubbed his chin, and tentatively said, "Could it be... Eiji, are you worried that we will feel guilty when we do this task?"
Hiiragi Eiji opened his eyes slightly.
It has to be said that Wujo Satoru at certain moments really has an extraordinary keen intuition.
Now that the other party has guessed right, Hiiragi Eiji no longer concealed it, and he nodded slightly.Gojo Satoru also straightened up, showing an unspeakable expression, "...you are the only one who would think about such a question at first guess. I don't have that kind of guilt feeling at all." He looked at Hiiragi with a smile, The light in the eyes at that moment was astonishingly dazzling, "If the astral body refuses to assimilate, then it's fine not to bring her to the high school?"
"But--"
"What's wrong!" Wujo Wu raised his voice and interrupted him, "Don't you want us to do the same?"
Hiei Yingsi subconsciously looked at Xia Youjie, and the black-haired boy helplessly spread his hands and said, "Mr. Yingsi, in this regard, your thoughts are too easy to guess. So, Wu and I discussed it last night. If she doesn't want to come If so, let her go."
Hiiragi Eiji murmured: "...But, isn't it possible to cause a world crisis?"
But Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie still looked calm, "We are the strongest, if something like that happens, can't we just deal with it?"
...Obviously these words are often heard, but at this moment, Hiiragi Eiji has a different feeling in his heart.
He really hoped that they could maintain their current appearance forever, and not let their sharpness and self-confidence be destroyed by the cruel reality.
I hope that the established future that Wujo Satoru mentioned will never happen.
Knowing that these two people are actually not the strongest level at all, but Eiji Hiiragi was strangely relieved by them, "Okay, if something bad happens, we are all accomplices. I will fight with you Let's face it together." He said with a smile.
And the moment they heard his answer, the two teenagers opened their eyes wide.
... an accomplice?
That's a pretty good adjective.
"Xia Youjie Favorability +5"
"Gojo Goku Favorability +5"
"What, while talking about not coming, he also showed that worried look. Since you are so worried, then follow up." Until he got in the car of the assistant supervisor, Gojo Satoru was still complaining, "Also said and We are accomplices, we have already talked about it to that extent, but we haven't followed up."
Xia Youjie, on the other hand, was in a very calm mood. He thought of the special missions given to him by Hiei Yingsi. At that time, it was the same as now. journey of.
Looking at Gojo Wu's unwilling expression, Xia Youjie was also dazed for a moment.
I don't know when he started to become so calm about going out on a mission alone.For a moment, he felt Hiiragi Eiji's intention, "Probably, letting go at the right time is also a way for us to become stronger quickly."
After hearing Xia Youjie's words, Gojo Satoru was also taken aback, "...Huh?! I'm already so strong!" After subconsciously saying this, he felt that his fighting spirit was instantly aroused. "It's really troublesome. In order to avoid being read by him again when I go back, Jie, I will be super serious this time?"
Xia Youjie smiled slightly, "Of course I am too."
Metropolitan Police Department, conference room.
Eiji Hiiragi, the avatar in the form of Seiri Haruyuu, was sitting in a leather chair. Opposite him was the chief inspector of the Metropolitan Police Department.
The chief of police was a man over half a century old, but his eyes did not have the numbness that men of this age often have, but were sparkling.
And at the door, stood a black-skinned young man with blond hair - Jiang Gu Ling.
Not long ago, Hiiragi Eiji submitted the collected information to the Metropolitan Police Department. Such a move caused the Metropolitan Police Department, which had been stagnant all year round, to fall into chaos.
In this chaotic situation, the special planning department for spells was formally established.And Jiang Gu Ling was transferred to this newly established department and became a member of it.
At this time, he was standing with his hands behind his back, looking forward in a straight posture.
"Mr. Siri, I specially called you here this time to let you know that after discussion, we unanimously agreed to your proposal."
At first, the people in the Metropolitan Police Department couldn't believe his purpose at all, because Xili Qingliu was also a member of the high-level spell that he wanted to eliminate. He was a privileged minority. How could such a person Cut off the back road and let their official forces forcefully intervene?
But the temptation given by Eiji Hiiragi was too great, "After mastering the magic world, your official credibility and situation will also be greatly improved? If you have such a force as your support, presumably It will be much easier to deal with everything in the future." Such words hit the hearts of the guys in the Metropolitan Police Department.
Their current situation is indeed not very good, because they discovered a large organization, but because of the secrecy and deep background of this organization, they couldn't even take action.But if they control the power of the magic world and deal with such an organization, wouldn't the odds of winning be greatly improved?
"But it sounds like only the Metropolitan Police Department has vested interests, so why are you doing this, Mr. Sealy?"
Hiiragi Eiji laughed, "Because, such a dangerous force cannot be controlled by a few people. I believe that after reading the information I integrated, you have the same idea, right? I just did something that I think is right. What's more--" He paused, he just repeated what his real boss said to him, and what followed was his own thoughts.
"I hope that one day, these conjurers can also be included in the establishment. They should enjoy the treatment that official powers should have-honor and recognition, instead of maintaining stability in the dark like now. They are also Heroes should be known by the public. Perhaps in the near future, the government will be able to train a large number of conjurers and normalize conjuration, which will also make society more stable."
The Chief of Police looked at Eiji Hiiragi in surprise, such thoughts coincided with theirs, and from the words of the other party, it was not difficult to hear that this person was really thinking about the conjurer.
And hearing such words, Jiang Gu Ling, who had no expression on his face, couldn't help but feel a little fluctuated.
...He is a very powerful person, this Mr. Siri Haruyuu.
"We have fully understood your thoughts," the Chief of Police nodded seriously, "Then, I look forward to cooperating with you, Mr. Siri. However, regarding the high-level change mentioned in your plan, are you going to how to proceed?"
Eiji Hiiragi laughed, "It's very simple, I just need to tell those old guys that Seiri Haruyuu is about to withdraw from the high-level sequence due to physical reasons. Presumably, in order to choose my next successor, they will definitely gather together. At that time , is the moment when the Metropolitan Police Department and the Supernatural Secret Service Division will do something, of course, I will not stand by and watch."
Although his tone was so gentle, the bloody smell in his words could not be concealed.
...Is this the conjurer who was active on the front line?
Jiang Gu Ling looked away calmly, and stopped looking at the middle-aged man sitting at the conference table.
The chief inspector hesitated for a while, and finally said: "But if you do this, it will do you a lot of harm but not any benefit."
Hiiragi Eiji was a little surprised, the chief inspector seemed to be thinking about Haruki Shiri, "Don't worry." He said with a smile.
Because, he is not Xili Qingliu at all.
After coming out of the conference room, Furutani Rei personally sent Hiiragi Eiji all the way to the gate of the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Do you need me to take you back, Mr. Siri?" Jiang Gu Ling asked.
Hiiragi Eiji shook his head, he couldn't help but look at Furutani Rei twice more.How wonderful, this dream world.Neither Zero nor Jing Guang was sent to the Black Clothes Organization. They both joined the Special Planning Division for Spells. Unlike Zero, Jing Guang was directly appointed as the police stationed in the magic world in the future. At this time, he was following Xili Qingliu By his side, he handles daily chores for him.
It is also responsible for reporting the news of Xili Qingliu to the Metropolitan Police Department.It was precisely because of the information Jing Guang brought back that the Metropolitan Police Department agreed to cooperate with him so quickly.
"How is it, Fugu-kun, is your acceptance of news from the magic world okay?" Hiiragi Eiji asked him with a smile.
The black-skinned young man was startled for a moment, then nodded, "No problem."
"That's good," Eiji Hiiragi said, "Your colleague Zhu Fujun is also adapting well, it seems that you are all suitable for the tasks of this department." He quietly conveyed the situation of Zhu Fu Jingguang to Jiang Guling , lest the other party worry.
Rei Fuguya obviously also felt the kindness released by Eiji Hiiragi, which puzzled him very much.
...He always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this high-ranking man in the magic circle. The other party seemed to know him very well, and every time the other party came over, he would chat with him for a few words.It is difficult for Jiang Gu Ling to have any ill feeling towards such a person, even, he is very curious about this person.
He wanted to know the reason for all this.
According to the Superintendent of Police, it was the gentleman who had personally chosen him as a contact.
Perhaps feeling the other party's obvious kindness, Furutani Rei couldn't help but said before Hiiragi Eiji left: "Mr. Siri, did you know me before this?"
