Watch the movie supporting role replacement, the doctor is back to health

On the other side, Shigeo Kageyama, who had already understood that Reigen had no spiritual abilities, but also realized how important an influence Reigen's existence had on his own growth so far, looked at the light curtain with determination in his eyes.

"The master is a great man!"

In the light curtain, Geto Suguru finally asked the fatal question.

[Mr. Linghuan, I wonder what you think about the fact that sorcerers must protect ordinary people? ]

coming! !

Ling Xuan's eyes widened slightly for a moment.

Analyzing from this question, during the time when he and Geto Suguru didn't meet, something bad must have happened that changed Geto Suguru's perception of ordinary people, and these bad things should also be strongly related to the sorcerer!

The escort incident of "Astral Plasma"?

I heard that the matter has been successfully resolved! Whether from the perspective of a sorcerer, or from the perspective of an ordinary person, or a novice assistant supervisor like him who has both the concepts of a sorcerer and an ordinary person - everyone thinks that the matter is over.

Didn't I expect there was such a deadly hidden mine buried in the middle? !

"Star plasma" - I remember that in this incident, the main people who prevented Geto-kun and Gojo-kun from carrying out their commission were the folk groups that opposed the current sorcerer system, the sorcerer organization Q, and the Shoe Rubber Star Disk Cult that opposed the fusion of the pure and noble Tengen-sama and the filthy star plasma and worshipped Tengen-sama -

While thinking of these two things in his mind, Lingxuan Wunao believed that it must be the Star Plate Cult that caused Geto Suguru's current transformation.

The sorcerer protects ordinary people - indeed, although ordinary people as the protected objects also pay commissions, the irreplaceable nature of spell-related commissions makes the sorcerer's work naturally carry a sense of salvation and is genuine.

Spellcasters don't have to protect ordinary people... Spellcasters who retired from technical high schools, folk spellcasters, and even curse casters!

Although the example is a bit extreme, the existence of curse masters fully demonstrates that users of spells can survive without protecting ordinary people.

The only difference between a sorcerer and a curser is their views on their own positions: those who protect ordinary people are sorcerers, while those who use spells to do whatever they want are cursers.

So, does Getsuyu-kun want to degenerate into a curse caster because he thinks ordinary people are not worth protecting?

No, that's not right!

There seems to be an important piece of the puzzle missing in this thinking!

According to his understanding, Getsuyu-kun should not be a fragile man who would witness the ugliness of human nature in just a few days and thus decide to get rid of his identity as a sorcerer!

Even if the Astrolabe Cult really did something heinous, unlike him, Takeru, who has been a sorcerer since childhood, should still have a certain resistance - to put it bluntly, even if he is going to fall, he won't fall so quickly!

So there must be a reason!

There must be something that accelerated Xia Yujun's decline from a sorcerer to a curser!

And finding the true identity of that thing is what Lingxuan has to do now!

Lingxuan smiled lightly.

63. Mizi (3211)

[Heh~]

Lingxuan smiled lightly.

Geto Xiayou blinked twice - he felt that his question was actually quite sharp for the spirit who was an ordinary human not long ago.

In the past, he would never ask such a question. However, now, he actually wanted to see the ugly appearance of Mr. Linghuan, whom he once thought was worthy of admiration, so he asked this question.

In the end, the other party actually laughed?

Geto Xiayou frowned slightly. He didn't think Reigen was the kind of person who would completely change his position and look at things from the perspective of a sorcerer as soon as he became an assistant supervisor.

Although he believed that his past thoughts and actions were a complete waste of time, he did not think that his vision was that bad.

[A sorcerer doesn't have to protect ordinary people.] After slightly provoking Geto Suguru's mentality, Reigen immediately said the words he had prepared long ago.

[Oh?] This is another statement that surprised Geto. [I thought Mr. Reigen would say something like "This is the mission of a sorcerer" or "duty"? I didn't expect to hear this answer from you.]

[Because it is the truth.] Ling Xuan took a sip of water. This was probably the last time he would drink water. He would not give Geto Suguru and himself any room to think.

[Ordinary people cannot see the cursed spirits and cannot control the cursed power, so they can only be slaughtered unilaterally by the cursed spirits. The curse masters have the technology to exorcise the cursed spirits, so in this small market, the curse masters are at the upstream of the supply chain and there are no alternative products. ]

[Mr. Linghuan, do you think that sorcerers are a commodity? 】

[It depends on how you define "commodity".] No matter what he thought, Ling Huan's expression did not show any panic.

[In fact, the commission provided by ordinary people is enough to support the full operation of this small society of sorcerers, and even have the qualifications to pursue luxury and enjoyment, right? ]

[I am not saying how much contribution the public has made in this chain. Spellcasters are indeed risking their lives to protect ordinary people, so it is reasonable for them to be paid better, or even much better.]

[So, what is your basis for saying that sorcerers don't need to protect ordinary people? ]

[In fact, aren't the sorcerers who retired from the technical college and the sorcerers who are popular among the people doing this? ... Sorcerers don't have to protect ordinary people, and you can also choose to retire in the future. This shouldn't be a problem. So,]

Reigen lifted the teacup, then gently put it down, pretending to be thinking. [So, do you want to retire? Summer Oil-kun.]

[No!] Xia Youjie swept his hands in front of him. Reigen's words made him feel aggrieved, almost like he was misunderstood.

[So, do you doubt the beliefs you once held firmly? — This is a common thing. ]

[Oh? Mr. Reigen, do you often witness other people's faith wavering?] Xiayou Jie calmed down a little.

【As long as you get in touch with more people, you can find ways to understand a profession that seems completely unrelated to you from other perspectives. For example... after I resigned from a regular company, I thought that the experience of working in a place like a tinplate factory was completely useless. As a result, when I was doing other jobs, I unexpectedly often thought about the little things when I was working in the company. 】

Ling Xuan put his arms on the table and folded his hands. [I am not saying this to say that I have a lot of experience, but I just want to say that I have indeed seen many examples of people giving up the path they had been adhering to because of trivial matters in life.]

[Then could you please ask Mr. Linghuan, who has a lot of experience, to explain: Why does a sorcerer have to accept the saying that they are for the sake of ordinary people in order to call themselves a sorcerer? ! ]

[First of all, I think I have said that sorcerers can pursue other lifestyles.] Reigen raised his hand and said.

【Secondly, the occupation system of sorcerers, the system of exchanging work for other social resources with sorcery skills as the value, is quite mature. Summer Oil, can you imagine the blueprint of building and developing other production relations with sorcery as the means of production?】

【…】

[Humans are born with the need for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and so are sorcerers. In the current social structure, because sorcerers have rare skills and resources, and their numbers are few, in the current social model, I think it is a job that is very worthy of pride.]

[It has high pay, many special privileges and a very detached social status. At the same time, protecting the people can also greatly stimulate the practitioners' sense of professional satisfaction and moral honor. I don't quite understand ~ Xia Yujun is dissatisfied with the current sorcerers. 】

Reigen quietly changed the concept, but Geto Suguru didn't notice.

[I am just not satisfied with protecting ordinary people!! Those...! ]

[This... is very confusing. In my humble opinion, the current situation is like this——] Reigen held up a finger. [If you are not satisfied with the sorcerers protecting ordinary people, the current solution is to retire from the sorcerer position, or to rely on the big family to receive offerings... I know that Xia Yujun will not consider the latter.]

Ling Xuan raised his other hand and flicked his index finger. [On the other hand, if one does not want to retire from the profession of sorcerer, but also wants to make full use of his value as a sorcerer, and on top of that, he is also required not to have contact with ordinary people, then the person who chooses this path can only think about: what should he do to meet these conditions at the same time. ]

[How is it? Xia Yu-kun, do you have any idea about this? ] Ling Xuan hooked two fingers together, looked at Xia Yu Jie with a smile and asked.

Then a line of cold sweat broke out on his back.

[…I don’t know what to do. What does Mr. Linghuan think? ]

[To achieve the above goals, the sorcerer must use sorcery to create a new production model. Just like the situation of the breeding industry, farms, and processing industries, there are not only people responsible for production, but also people responsible for sales, people who buy goods and circulate them, etc. Only by connecting the upper and lower ends of the industry, and allowing the new industry to be completely participated in by the sorcerer and self-sufficient, can the picture envisioned by Xia Yu be realized, right? ]

【……is that so?】

[As you hesitated, this approach is really inefficient. The world of spellcasting currently has a way out for spellcasters to retire, and also has other ways outside of fighting, such as making spell tools, maintaining rituals and barriers, and serving famous families. On top of that, pursuing a production model that is separated from ordinary people is just a thankless task.]

[Most importantly, the number of sorcerers is not enough to allow them to live better than they do now without being ordinary people. If you tell others that sorcerers don't have to protect ordinary people, and they believe it, then they will become retired sorcerers or sorcerers who don't fight on the front lines. If they do, they will become curse masters. After all the twists and turns, they are back to square one.]

[Then——is there no other way? ! We don’t need ordinary people! ? Those inferior species who are defenseless and killed by cursed spirits! Monkeys who only waste sunlight and air? ! ! Why should more capable sorcerers risk their lives to protect them! ! ?]

【…】

Finally said it~

Ling Xuan withdrew his hand indifferently. He pretended to be a villain who was confident in what he was doing. He thought that if he said this, the current Geto Xia would be more likely to listen to him.

[In my opinion, sorcerers are just a kind of social division of labor. ]

【ha!?】

[There are unreasonable things like curse spirits in the world. Curse masters and ordinary people who protect the normal operation of human society under unreasonable threats are like worker ants and soldier ants in an ant colony. Maybe soldier ants are better at fighting, but worker ants are stronger. This is a difference in social division of labor. There is no superiority or inferiority in essence.]

[Are you trying to say that those monkeys who can't see evil spirits are part of the human race, just like the sorcerers?!] Geto Suguru waved his hand vigorously and retorted loudly. [What a joke~!]

[Among sorcerers, there are children whose aptitude is so poor that they are no different from ordinary people. Children from ordinary families may also have a talent for sorcery that is above the average level of sorcerers. If we just look at one side, the final result is -]

[Stop talking nonsense here!!!]

Xia Youjie stood up suddenly, and the chair behind him fell to the ground because of his action, but Xia Youjie had a ferocious face and didn't notice it at all.

[Mr. Linghuan, you are very smart, you should have figured it out, right?! ]

[No, what are you talking about? I...]

[No need to explain! I'll explain it to you! Yes! I became what you call a "curse master", but I have no idea what I did wrong! ]

Xia Youjie said loudly, his approaching action made Linghuan feel the crisis, but the more it was at this time, he must not retreat!

Once he retreats, cowardice will become a reason or excuse for Geto Suguru to despise him.

Once a person has an excuse, especially an excuse for Geto Suguru, whose thoughts have obviously fallen into extremes, to look down on "ordinary people", then his ears probably won't listen to a word the monkey says!

[Suguru-kun, you shouldn't be such a man - you still care about Huibara's affairs, and you still have love in your heart. But your love seems to exclude the category of ordinary people... Your values are no different from the past, but they have been distorted. ]

Xiayou Jie had already approached very close. At this distance, Xiayou Jie could just reach out and recreate the famous scene that often appears in movies and TV dramas and grab his collar - maybe even lift him up with one hand?

But he didn't do it.

He is furious and hesitant!

If he was really as determined as he said to be towards ordinary people, then he should not be angry and should not hesitate at this time.

〖In other words, is there still hope?〗

Lingxuan looked straight into Geto's gloomy eyes.

[Sugaru-kun, there should be one, right? The opportunity that made you say goodbye to your past self completely? It made you, who was originally kind, make judgments and choices that I, who knew your past self, could not understand. I think I am now a party to the case. Even if you want me to die in your hands immediately, can you let me know what opportunity completely reshaped your value perception of ordinary people? ]

Lu Si.MYGO

[Opportunity…]

Xia Yujie took two steps back unconsciously.

Reigen's fearless attitude is still very intimidating - a person who is not afraid of even death, at least now Geto Suguru is a little intimidated.

Shocked by the spirit's aura, Geto Xiayou began to recall why he became what he is now... the opportunity to change...

Opportunity...

What was the motivation that made him have this idea and want to put it into action?

Astrology

Those guys who didn't care about the celestial beings who were also human beings like them, in the process of facing them at the Astrological Cult headquarters, Xia Youjie deeply realized that "there are indeed some people in this world who are completely not worth saving."

He remembered that he was greatly shocked at the time. He used to be a person who had the arrogant idea that "all ordinary people are his protection objects", but after learning about the Astrology, he began to realize that some of the treasures he cherished and held in his arms were rotten from the beginning.

They emit a stench that is even more disgusting than that of cursed spirits, making people want to avoid them.

From then on, he began to care about whether the idea that sorcerers must protect ordinary people was correct, and gradually he developed the idea that sorcerers were superior to ordinary people.

But... by the way, if it were just that, he would probably become a sorcerer with a gloomy face that would scare children, and become an awkward person that makes his friends and teachers around him worry, right?

This is how the world is, cursed spirits are not the only bad ones.

In addition to the cursed spirits, there are gangsters, human traffickers, rapists, bullies, and selfish people - these terms were not created on the first day.

He did not notice their existence, it was just that in the past, Geto Suguru held the detached idea that "this is an internal matter of ordinary people, he is only responsible for saving the lives of ordinary people, and the rest is left to them to develop freely."

Because he is a sorcerer, because he is a special grade sorcerer. It is natural for him to put thinking at a very high level and be different from others. This is really a very normal thing.

However, the existence of the Astrolabe Cult made it impossible for Geto to ignore the things he had always ignored. Some things that he had never paid attention to before became like needles pointed at his eyes, and his heart was split in two.

Half of him follows the old ideas, the values ​​from ordinary society, the influence of his friends and teachers, his natural kindness and the education he received in college, which make him believe that the value of a sorcerer should be measured by "protection"; the other half begins to despise the existence of ordinary people who are poor, ignorant, greedy and ugly.

Yes, even at this point, "Spellcaster" Geto Suguru should not have the idea of becoming a "Curse Master" - after all, everything he has is here, in the technical high school!

Friends, teachers, lovely juniors and former beliefs... In the final analysis, just as Mr. Reigen said, if a sorcerer wants to realize his own value through sorcery, the best way is right here in the technical high school.

So, at this point, he should be worried and distressed, and eventually become a gloomy person, right?

However, he now wanted to become a curse master! He even wanted to carry out that almost impossible plan!

——Eliminate ordinary people all over the world! Create a world where only sorcerers survive!

Ye Wang: Humph, have you finally come to your senses?

Thanos: Is this a bit extreme? Mr. Spirit is right. The number of sorcerers is not enough to live a better life than now. You must understand that the resources that sorcerers have now are at a very generous level. If you rashly destroy the existing life, you will not be able to open up a more efficient and better life model. In the end, it is just a matter of impulse.

Gilgamesh: You boring bastard, a mere human being wants to become a god? How ridiculous! His ridiculous thinking can tell the level of the sorcerer. After all, they are all mortals, and when there are too many of them, it will be an eyesore.
