The brave Simmel wants to resign

But even if Simmel arrives here, can he protect everyone?

—At that moment, the girl's mind wasn't thinking about so many things.

She understood her own technique almost instinctively and used it.

【Signature Technique】

The ability to take photos using a mobile phone and perform certain operations on the objects within the photos.

In that instant, Nanako subconsciously used a spell on Shinichi and Miyoko, and then used Photoshop to remove the existing objects, thus creating the paradoxical reality that 'the parties involved are not in the space'.

The shooting and the initiation of the procedure are completed in an instant. The mobile phone is just a carrier of the procedure and does not mean that the entire process of 'photography' actually needs to be completed.

However, the technique is only used on the people in the photograph.

Because of the direction, she could only see two out of the four people.

She subconsciously chose Jin Yi and Miyoko.

----------

How are Jin Yi and Miyoko doing now?

Did I manage to save them properly?

At that moment, it seemed that Mimiko was also using a Command Seal while he was using a spell.

If Simmel comes, there will definitely be no problem.

But why... does Xia You seem so indifferent?

But whatever the outcome.

When Nanako saw Natsuyu like this, she still chose to hold his hand back.

Because it seems like he only has them left.

Stroking, stroking...

4 AM

Xia Youjie looked at the burning village, the place where he first felt murderous intent towards non-sorcerers, and it was also at that time that he was stopped by Simmel.

Perhaps, at any other time, if I hadn't met Simmel, I would have become the person I am now.

Seeing that the flames had not yet burned out and the firelight illuminated the night sky, Xia Youjie suddenly felt bored.

uninteresting.

uninteresting.

uninteresting.

But at the same time, he wanted to destroy everything and question himself about all the time he had wasted so far.

Xia Youjie looked at the two sisters.

Mimiko has woken up, and Nanako is comforting her.

"Well, let's go."

I tried to force a gentle smile.

Don't stay too long, or you'll get found.

Next, he plans to do what he wants to do.

Before that.....

"Nanako, Mimiko, can you voluntarily sever the connection with the Command Seals?"

Xia Youjie asked casually.

Unable to see the man's expression clearly, Nanako and Mimiko, holding Natsuyu's hand, exchanged a glance and said timidly, "Now... it should be okay."

They awakened the spell at the critical moment of their lives, and now both of them can sense the power of the spell and manipulate it.

Command Spells can also be used actively, and can even sever connections.

They didn't think much of it and did as instructed.

Xia Youjie nodded as he noticed that the originally shiny lines on the backs of the two sisters' hands were gradually fading.

If Simmel comes looking for us, things could get complicated.

That being said—

"I didn't expect you to come looking for me first. It seems the Stellar Body mission was completed ahead of schedule."

Xia Youjie stopped and looked into the darkness deep in the forest, his expression complex, but he still had a smile on his face.

But the person opposite him wasn't laughing.

"Hey, stop joking around..."

Gojo Satoru emerged from the depths of the forest.

The usually carefree and handsome face was now devoid of any smile, and the lines of his face were stiff from staring wide-eyed, with an unprecedented ferocity.

The most powerful sorcerer in modern times.

Gojo Satoru.

At 4:00 AM, he made contact with Xia Youjie, a former top-level sorcerer.

For the first time, those azure eyes burned brightly in front of Xia Youjie.

The power of the curse surged throughout his body, and his voice was squeezed out from the depths of his throat, unusually hoarse. His usual flippant tone was gone, leaving only suppressed rage.

"What are you doing, Jay...!"

Chapter 42 Break Your Limbs

Faced with his close friend's questioning, Xia Youjie did not get angry or laugh, but instead responded with a natural smile.

He seemed to have rehearsed the scene before him countless times in his mind, and every move he made carried the discipline unique to a stage actor.

"Specifically, what does that mean?"

Gojo Satoru seemed to be angered by the action and suddenly flung his hand away.

"Stop pretending!! Did you make this?!"

"..."

Gojo Satoru pointed to the village engulfed in flames in the distance, his expression filled with disbelief, anger, and...panic.

Why did you do that?!

"Wu, don't get so agitated." Xia Youjie remained calm, but after speaking, he looked up and pondered for a moment as if to consider his companion's feelings. "Didn't I tell you about the people in this village? You hate them too, don't you?"

"what?!"

Gojo was furious.

"Kill someone you hate?! Are you insane?!"

"hehe."

Xia Youjie seemed amused by this remark and was just about to say something—

...

The lip movements stopped, Xia Youjie glanced down and noticed Nanako and Mimiko's trembling little hands, and stopped arguing.

"Compared to this—"

Xia Youjie changed the subject.

"I originally thought Simmel would arrive first, after all, based on what I know, he would think of this first... Ah... judging from your look, he told you, didn't he?"

The man chuckled. “Simmel didn’t come here in person—I understand. Knowing his personality, he probably thinks it’s better for me and you to solve the problem. That’s great, Wu. You’re very trusted.”

—How did Simmel arrive at this conclusion?

It's actually not difficult; you just need to use your brain a little more.

It has already been deduced that: [The mole within the higher-ups was targeting Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suguru from the very beginning].

Adding to the analysis of the actions taken by the Panxing Sect against Xia You's parents, it's not difficult to deduce several facts.

opportunity.

The fact that the other party did not choose to act in November when everyone was off guard indicates that they had complete control over everyone's schedule, so it is highly likely that they rented the downstairs apartment in November and planted the bomb.

Since they started tracking them so early, they would naturally know about the existence of the Kaba sisters.

The Kaba sisters are clearly valued by Gojo Satoru and Natsume, but—why?

Since it is assumed that everyone inside the Jujutsu High School is trustworthy, then the higher-ups in Jujutsu must not know the true identities of the 'Kaba Sisters', because Yae concealed the fact that Simmel was a shikigami and did not allow the Kaba Sisters to formally enroll.

Therefore, an investigation will definitely be conducted.

Once an investigation is launched, it will inevitably follow the clues, going back in time to find the birthplace of the Gaba sisters by using information such as train surveillance footage.

That is, this village.

Then.

Since that 'mole' had contact with the people of this village, it's reasonable to assume that Xia Youjie would also come here to investigate the traitor's true identity.

For Xia Youjie, who is both meticulous and intelligent, reasoning at this stage is quite simple.

Simmel told Gojo Satoru all this, and the latter, of course, rushed over immediately.

but--

"...Jay, your parents are both alright."

Suppressing his anger, Gojo said to Natsumi.

"It's probably the effect of Nanako's technique. Her ability is to interfere with the existence of the subjects being photographed through her phone. After hiding the photos that included your parents, she allowed them to escape the first round of explosions."
