The brave Simmel wants to resign

At first glance, it sounds calm, but the ending note rises noticeably, making one imagine the fawning smile of a middle-aged man.

My name isn't important, but we met a year ago.

a year ago?

【————】

Beach, ocean, girl's smile, best friend's blood, and bullets piercing through his face.

as well as...

Those monkeys, laughing and clapping with a chilling intensity like Japanese dolls.

My head was filled with a loud bang.

Xia Youjie stopped walking and stood amidst the flow of people coming and going.

"...I'll ask you one more time, who are you?"

[Hehe, it seems you have the answer.]

We are not here to cause you trouble, and we have no intention of engaging in any hostile acts against any sorcerers.

"Then why hide the location of the headquarters?" Xia Youjie said coldly. "If you hadn't been hiding, this would have been over long ago."

Hehehe.

The unpleasant laughter continued on the other end of the phone.

【Natsuyu-kun, you're strong, and Gojo Satoru is strong too.】

No matter how much money we spend or how many curse masters we find, we will not be able to defeat you head-on. We regret that.

His brows furrowed involuntarily, and Xia Youjie felt his heart pounding more and more wildly as he listened.

"...What exactly are you trying to say?"

[Xia You-kun, do you know how cursed spirits are created?]

[It is an uncontrollable malice and negative emotion in humans.]

But the person on the other end of the phone was clearly engrossed in their own world.

Therefore, to eliminate a cursed spirit, 'faith' is necessary.

Humans are fragile; we cannot stand firmly on this cruel land on our own two feet. We need guidance, we need to support each other.

The Panxing Sect is a community where people support and help each other.

[And Lord Tengen, who has escaped death, is the great being who guides us!]

With faith, we will no longer feel anxiety, jealousy, anger, or fear.

We will not give birth to cursed spirits; this is the path humanity should take.

"...What are you trying to say, all this gibberish?"

I wanted to prove to you the legitimacy of our existence, but you don't seem interested, which is a pity.

But it's okay, one day we'll understand each other.

However, before that, yes...

【Summer Oil Guy——】

Please exit this mission.

What if I refuse?

You may be strong enough.

But not everyone around you is like that.

"..."

"you."

Da da da.

Tokyo, a city teeming with people.

Today is just one day away from Christmas Eve, so there are more people than usual. On the main road, everyone subconsciously avoids the boy in the black school uniform.

There was no one else within a five-meter radius.

They didn't even dare to focus their gaze in that direction.

Xia Youjie gripped his phone tightly, staring intently ahead.

"You...you dare to lay a hand on the people around me?"

It's ok.

Every one of my acquaintances is protected by a cursed spirit, so no matter what kind of cursed mage the other side sends...

For a fleeting moment, the repulsive face of Fuheshchen flashed through my mind, but I quickly shook off that thought.

If the other side can bring in a second Fuhesh, then there's no way we can defend against it.

impossible.

There will never be another man like that in the world.

【hehe.】

Laughter broke out again.

That annoying tone again.

You seem to look down on us.

However, Xia You-kun, we are also children of God; sorcerers and non-sorcerers are equally powerless.

But this answer, for the first time... made Xia Youjie feel a chill from the bottom of his heart.

[I already told you, Xia You-kun.]

[As long as you have faith.]

We will no longer feel anxiety, jealousy, or anger...

[And no longer afraid.]

! ————————————————

The utter silence that caused excruciating ear pain arrived.

The jarring vibrations made Xia Youjie feel dizzy and his mind went blank.

Staggering, the next moment, as his voice returned to normal, Xia Youjie abruptly turned his head to look at a corner of Tokyo.

The firelight shone into the dark night, thick smoke rose, and the lights in the living rooms of the houses seemed to spread as if receiving a signal.

"explode!"

"where?!"

Fire!

The dense crowd began to make a lot of noise, but Xia Youjie, who was in the center, hung his arms down as if all his strength had been drained.

That's the direction of Xia Youjie's house.

Chapter 39 Breaking Jade

Xia Youjie lives in a high-rise apartment building.

There are three reasons why no one is prepared for such a sudden event.

First, in the world of sorcerers, almost everyone assumes that their disputes will not involve ordinary people, because everyone is skilled in sorcery and naturally knows that the source of sorcery power is the fear of mortals.

The more worldly matters are involved, the more the power of the curse will expand infinitely.

Nobody wants to be a world-destroying madman.

Second, since sorcery is a technique passed down from ancient families, the protection measures for those who become sorcerers by chance and their ordinary families are not yet perfect.

Imagine if a Japanese high school student suddenly awakened to magic. Would the high school protect all those involved with him in the real world in order to establish a contingency plan to protect him?

Parents, school friends, teachers, childhood sweethearts from elementary school, the cashier you often chat with at the convenience store...

The required manpower and resources are simply too enormous. The most that a highly skilled sorcerer can do is 'hide relevant information'.

three....

—Overturning all the above inferences, Xia Youjie himself actually set up protection for the apartment where his parents lived.

Xia Youjie was a precocious and intelligent child. Knowing that his parents were his weakness, he used his spell manipulation skills to set up a defensive network at home.

Furthermore, since the Kaba sisters are also temporarily staying at home, they had just strengthened their protective measures last month.

but.

All of this is to 'guard against sorcerers'.

The cursed spirits will react to sorcerers who also possess strong cursed power, but will therefore ignore mortals.

Panxing Sect rented a house downstairs from Xia Youjie's apartment building and planted explosives there. They also carried out directional demolitions at various points in the high-rise apartment building.

In that instantaneous explosion, the cursed spirits couldn't react, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to protect the mortal humans in the subsequent explosions.

In an instant, the impact and high temperature of the explosion could kill a human.

In addition, her parents had sent her a text message five minutes before the accident...

Xia Youjie understood almost instantly.

It's impossible for anyone to have survived.
