Curse back: Gender-swapped cosplayers always meet the real person

Chapter 300 Righteousness ptsd

Note: This chapter is two chapters in one

When Geto Suguru walked out of the sealing room, he still had a relaxed expression on his face.

His steps were neither hurried nor slow, his posture was calm and peaceful, and even the movement of turning around carried the sense of relaxation that only a top-class sorcerer could have.

Then he rubbed his temple, which was aching like hell, and silently looked at the colorful clouds floating in the sky. After a few seconds, he finally let out a breath slowly.

In the past twenty years of his life, he had never imagined that using chatting to obtain information would become such a painful thing.

Not only did Xia Youjie fail to get any useful clues from her, but she actually tricked him into revealing a lot of information.

I felt like I had aged ten years in an instant.

Is this the price of becoming a teacher?

If all the students he meets in the future are like this, he would just run away cleanly with his classmates and juniors and start his own business.

But if you think about it carefully, it should be that only Miss "Tiger Stick" is special.

It would have been fine if he didn't know anything about her and wasn't on guard against her, but she was actually extremely wary of him, as if she knew his personality and his way of doing things. She was extremely cautious with every word she spoke and was unwilling to even tell him her name.

The relationship is too unequal.

Moreover, during the conversation, every time she casually threw out a point of view, it would always hit him hard and was so accurate that it seemed as if it had been calculated.

But...is this possible?

Geto Xiayou tapped his fingers, walked to Gojo Satoru, and leaned on the railing to look into the distance.

When Gojo Satoru saw the big bump on his forehead, he immediately started to laugh at him mercilessly: "Hey, Jie, you promised not to let him go, to be ruthless and impartial?"

"I never said that, okay." Xia Youjie glared at him unhappily, "Who knew you would burn all the ropes on her hands without telling me. The responsibility is all yours."

"Because she keeps shouting that she wants to commit suicide, I am a little angry." Gojo Satoru muttered a few words, and immediately began to shirk responsibility heartlessly.

He said confidently: "Who would have thought that a special-level player like you would not be able to defend against a thrown stool leg? You are so weak. Is it because I haven't fought with you recently that I have degraded?"

Xia Youjie chuckled twice in a cold voice: "I don't know who got such a long cut last night, and he actually had the nerve to blame me."

"That was an accident, okay!" Gojo Satoru said unconvincedly, "Who knew she could go through the Unlimited!"

"Then this was also an accident for me."

"Tsk. Little Eyes has so many excuses."

"Satoru, if you say anything else, we'll go out and fight." Geto said with a wry smile, "Anyway, it just so happens that Kei handed Amagakiboko to me today."

"I'm not in the mood." Gojo Satoru leaned back against the railing lacking interest and continued to stare at the flower outside the corridor.

Xia Yujie paused and said nothing more.

His eyes began to empty, and his thoughts returned to the scene of his conversation with the girl in the room.

When Geto Suguru was studying at technical high school, he had already started thinking about and practicing his own righteousness (of course, he no longer mentions this now).

So, when he heard her say that killing herself was for the greater good, despite the initial embarrassment, he spoke a few more words to her with rare emotion.

And he advised her, as someone who had experienced it, that there was no need to rush to get everything done, and that she could just take her time.

But she seized on one of the points and started to fight back frantically.

"So you have a sense of justice, don't you?"

Geto Xiayou nodded.

"Your righteousness may not be recognized by everyone, right?"

Xia Yujie nodded again.

"That's it." She said, "Your justice and my justice are both justice. You insist on your justice, and I insist on mine. I didn't ask you to give up your justice, so why do you ask me to give up mine? Do you think my justice is not important at all, or do you think that only your justice is justice and mine is nothing at all?"

"Also, you haven't been recognized by others, but you still insist on the righteousness in your heart. I also insist on the righteousness in my heart for the same reason. Is that not okay?"

"What makes you so sure that I'm wrong? Do you have any evidence? Or can you refute it point by point?"

"Do you have to uphold justice because you are Geto Suguru, or do you want to uphold justice so you are Geto Suguru?"

Xia Youjie: “………”

"That being said...but..."

But he could hardly recognize the meaning of the word righteousness.

Besides, she was talking a lot, some of which were just sophistry, right? She never said what the righteousness in her heart was, so how could he refute her?

"I see you have nothing to say, why don't you just go out." She stretched out her hand and used her magical power without reservation, and the door in front of her opened.

In other words, even if she did not use Ryomen Sukuna's power, she was still very proficient in the use of spells, at least not worse than a first-level sorcerer.

Xia Yujie moved his fingers, but did not walk out as she wished. Instead, he condensed cursed power at his fingertips and closed the door again.

"I have listened to all your long speeches." His fox eyes curved and he showed a gentle smile, "But don't you want to know what my righteousness is?"

"........."

Miss "Tiger Stick" lowered her eyes indifferently and did not speak.

Xia Yujie just waited quietly and patiently.

Although, everyone around him, including Gojo Satoru, would show an expression as if they wanted to dig a hole and bury themselves in it when they heard his theories about justice. (Of course, this was during the high school period)

Except for Huiyuan. He always clapped his hands with bright eyes and praised, saying: "Although I don't understand what Senior Geto is saying, I support you."

But this guy always supports everything he does, so it’s actually the same as saying nothing.

But Xia Youjie had a strong premonition about this girl.

He said he wanted to talk to her about his own cause, and she would never refuse.

After thinking for a while, she put her hand down, looked up at him, and said, "Since you insist, I'll listen."

"I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so it won't cost me much to listen to you."

really.

Xia Youjie laughed lightly, and then said seriously: "First of all, you should be aware that cursed spirits are born from the negative emotions of human beings themselves, right?"

"Yeah." She nodded and replied, "I know that."

"But the negative emotions of the sorcerer will turn into curse power, and only non-sorcerers can produce curse spirits. Theoretically, as long as humans exist, curse spirits will exist."

"I and another special grade sorcerer, her name is Kujuku Yuki, once discussed a way to completely eliminate the cursed spirits."

"There are two solutions. One is to kill all non-magicians." He said, "The conditions to be met are very harsh. First, they must be killed in a very short time, otherwise many difficult curse spirits will be born due to negative emotions. Secondly, in addition to non-magicians, a considerable number of curse magicians will also become obstacles and prevent the executor from taking action."

"However, if these are the only two reasons, they cannot convince me to give up the plan."

When he said this, Xia Yujie deliberately stopped and observed her expression slightly with his eyes tilted.

Miss "Tiger Stick" opened her eyes slightly wide and looked at him in disbelief, as if she was surprised.

Well, it seems that her righteousness is not the same as this goal.

"Later, Gojo Satoru raised a new question." Xiayou Jie continued, "This method is fundamentally unfeasible. He believed that if all non-magicians were killed and only magicians were left, the human population would decrease rapidly to the point where it would be impossible to maintain the normal operation of modern society."

"Secondly, and this is the most important point. The offspring of a sorcerer are not necessarily sorcerers. In this way, within three generations at most, sorcerers and non-sorcerers will coexist, which will not have much impact on the elimination of cursed spirits."

She lowered her tense hands and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"So you're giving up on this theory, are you?"

".......Yes." Xia Yujie answered without hesitation, "I gave up this theory."

However, he had dreamed at midnight in the past that he really embarked on this path and went in the opposite direction of Gojo Satoru.

In that dream, he lost a lot.

Repeatedly swallowing the curse jade mechanically caused the loss of taste, the person he promised to protect was killed in front of him, the junior who admired him was killed by the curse spirit because of a mistake in reporting, the corrupt curse world continued to exploit them, and young cursers were abused...

Although it was something that had never happened in reality, it made Xia Youjie break out in cold sweats, as if he had experienced it himself.

After waking up, he was just grateful that everyone was still alive.

"What was the other path you chose?" she asked.

"Actually, there are two directions." replied Xia Youjie.

"what?"

"Turn all people into sorcerers or heaven and curse binders."

In fact, Fushiguro Shiori once agreed to Jiujiu Yuki's research plan, but it came to nothing soon after. Because she had no way to find a way to turn people into heaven and curse them, these things seemed to be innate.

It just so happened that in Geto Suguru's curse library, there was a special-grade cursed spirit that could transform humans into sorcerers, so over the years, their research direction has always been how to transform all humans into sorcerers smoothly, safely and efficiently.

"But even so." Miss 'Tiger Stick' frowned deeply and said, "The problem we are facing is also very difficult, right?"

"If we turn humans into sorcerers, wouldn't that be like randomly distributing highly lethal weapons to an indefinite number of people? The intensity of the struggle in the future will be even more terrifying than it is now."

"That's true." Xia Youjie nodded without hesitation, "Maybe we will just regress back to the jungle society."

"But think about it on the bright side. If the number of bad guys increases, won't the number of good guys also increase? In this way, a new balance will be reached, and it may not be worse than it is now."

"So, what you are thinking now is..." Seeing her looking at him hesitantly, Xia Youjie smiled and said, "Don't be so pessimistic."

"As sorcerers have developed to this day, the ways to use cursed energy have been increasing, and the types of spells have continued to evolve and grow. Every sorcerer is stepping on the shoulders of their predecessors to move forward."

He looked up and said calmly and objectively: "Perhaps one day in the future, a sorcerer will appear who can completely solve this problem."

“That person doesn’t have to be me.”

"I just need to follow the current path and continue to accumulate experience for that person so that he can avoid taking detours. That's all."

This is also an important reason why Geto Suguru decided to stay in the technical high school and teach with Gojo Satoru.

Overthrow the corrupt world of sorcery, change the oppressed fate of sorcerers fighting on the front lines, cultivate fresh and vibrant blood, and replace the old corrupt ideas.

Although the two people's goals are different, when it comes to practical actions, they reach the same goal.

"Wow." After hearing this, she said in a daze, "So this is your righteousness now."

"So..." Xia Yujie stretched out his hand and asked in an inviting tone, "Do you want to join us?"

In fact, this is the real purpose of his saying so much.

After more than ten years of hard work, and with the presence of him, Gojo Satoru, Nozomi, Yoga, Nanami, Haibara, Kuruki Kujuku, and half of Fushiguro Jōrō (because this guy will slack off if he's not paid), the sorcery world has actually been forced to revise many regulations.

Among the senior executives, one-third have been replaced by people who are more capable and adept at judging the situation.

As for the three great families, the Zenin family currently has Fushiguro Shigeu, and in the future there will be Fushiguro Megumi, Zenin Maki, Zenin Shin'ei and others. The Gojo family has Gojo Satoru, so the obstacles have actually been greatly reduced.

Not to mention that the girl in front of him can only use the ability of Ryomen Sukuna, even if she and Yuji Itadori have the same physique, he and Gojo Satoru can easily protect two such children.

The so-called "eating Sukuna's finger before killing him" was just an excuse used by Gojo Satoru to scare Yuji and to fool others.

So...the crux of the problem is not here.

Instead, it was on herself.

The first time they met, he caught a glimpse of the way she looked at the world.

Lonely and desolate, like a flame buried deep under the iceberg, waiting at any moment to leap out of the ice and plunge into the sea to extinguish itself.

This won't work...either by convincing her or by forcing her to stay.

Xia Youjie had a strong premonition that if he didn't hold this person's hand tightly and let her slip away, he would absolutely, absolutely regret it to the point of being beyond any further delay.

"........Sorry." She pursed her lips, as if she was seriously thinking about the meaning of his words, "I want to be alone."

"Could you please go out and let me think about it?"
