Chapter 108 - Their World 18
Somewhere in the world, black ink marks spread, blurring the lines written on the white paper.
But at this moment, it was probably because Xia Youjie had been silent for a long time, and the first-level conjurer couldn't wait any longer.He frowned, opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Xia You, what exactly is your so-called idea..."
Before he could finish speaking, the quilt on the hospital bed was lifted off suddenly, Chida Naomi blushed, and blurted out: "It's not him!"
Everyone: "???"
"No, I'm very sorry." Chida Naomi clutched the quilt tightly, dazed and painful, guilty and uneasy, she couldn't help but shed tears, and said in a trembling voice: "I should have had a nightmare before. I took everything about it as the truth, that's why I thought this classmate was the murderer... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I remembered, I remembered... The one who killed Oda and the others was a monster that looked like a lizard and also looked like a frog .”
Naomi Chida, who had previously accused Negi Toshihisa of being the murderer in tears, has retracted her confession!
The first-level conjurer turned his head slowly, and the small flames in his heart sprang up one after another. He clenched his teeth, looked at Chida Naomi with extremely unfriendly eyes, and said every word: "Miss Chida, what are you doing?" What means?"
Probably because his expression was too ferocious, Chida Naomi was frightened, her little face turned pale, and she was frightened back into tears.
"Mr. Watanabe." Xia Youjie took a step forward, blocking the staring eyes of the first-level conjurer, and said in a cold voice, "You scared Miss Qiantian."
"Is that you?!" The first-level conjurer, who finally had a title, turned his head suddenly and glared at Xia Youjie.The victim who was still talking about Negi Toshihisa's crimes just now changed his words suddenly, no matter how you look at it, there is something wrong!
Although he didn't see where the tampering was made, except for Xia Youjie, he didn't suspect anyone with this ability!
Yuan standing beside Xia Youjie took a look at Mr. Watanabe and frowned.
He doesn't like people who have ill intentions towards Jie.
Neki Riku couldn't take it anymore, he rushed over in two or three steps, stood in front of Xia Youjie, glared at Mr. Watanabe, and said sharply: "Why are you yelling at Master Xia You? That's right, now this woman has finally drained the water out of her head, what the hell are you..."
Xia Youjie put his hand on Negi Riku's shoulder.
The continuous output of swear words suddenly stopped, Neki Toshihisa gritted his teeth, and choked out a sentence: "Don't continue to slander me!"
Neki Riku was angry, and Mr. Watanabe was even more angry than him.He glared at Neki Toshihisa, and said with hatred: "Then how do you explain the filth in the wound of the victim's body?"
According to Neki Toshihisa, he had never seen the other five victims at all, he just got rid of the third-level curse, rescued Chida Naomi, called an ambulance, and left.
Chida Naomi bit her lip, she knew how much trouble she would bring to everyone if she changed her testimony, but she realized that she was wrong and couldn't frame that boy.She remembered now that when she was almost killed by the monster before, he saved herself.
Hateing that her mind was not clear before, and that even her savior could be remembered as a murderer, Chida Naomi mustered up her courage and said in a low voice: "Mr. ...I'm not lying, it's really a monster..."
Tears started to fall again.
"We know." Xia Youjie comforted in a gentle voice, then turned to Mr. Watanabe and said, "I want to re-examine the mantra on the corpse."
Mana Residual has a strong personal mana aura, so it is difficult to fake, but it is not impossible to fake it.It's not just once or twice that the high-level executives are blind. Instead of listening to their judgments, it's better for him to judge in person.
In the morgue.
Xia Youjie looked at the corpse on the dissecting table, and at the filth soaked in the incomplete parts of the corpse, he almost laughed angrily.
"This is your so-called evidence? When did the assistant supervisor of "Window" and the conjurers subordinate to the Director Council not even be able to distinguish the incomplete spell power? "
Is this the filth of Neki Riku's mantra?
These people seem to be teasing him!
However, Mr. Watanabe was very determined, looking at Xia Youjie like a liar who is opening his eyes and telling nonsense.He snorted, and said in a strange way: "Mr. Xia You, you don't have to excuse Neki Toshihisa. Doesn't he himself recognize that his spell power is filthy?"
Xia Youjie was startled, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Neki Toshihisa, but saw Yuanyi pick up a black spider thread from Neki Toshihisa's body.
[Nemu Rijiu insisted that he did not kill anyone, and he went to see the evidence left by the murder with the people from the Conjuration Directorate and Ranjiao's conjurer. ]
[Among the victim's severed remains, he sees the filth of his spell. ]
[Watanabe Kenjiro, who was in charge of this arrest operation, pointed to the filth on the corpse and asked sharply: "Do you still want to quibble? Neki Riku!"]
[Neki Riku is speechless. ]
[He seems to be caught in a strange circle. ]
[Could it be that he really killed these people? ]
[Or, there is a ferocious beast living in his heart, and when he didn't even realize it, it showed its fangs to those young lives. ]
[He is a murderer, he must...]
Yuanyi crushed the black spider silk.
Black ink stained his fingertips, exuding a strange smell.
"I..." Neki Toshihisa, who had been dazed before as if he was doubting his life, was shocked, raised his hand, and immediately turned back to Mr. Watanabe: "Of course I can recognize that my spell power is filthy, but this stepping horse Yes." The young boy forcibly paused, resisting the urge to swear, and said angrily, "Is this my curse power that is filthy!"
As he said that, his body directly ignited the mantra like a blue flame.
"Of course——" Kenjiro Watanabe's expression froze. He looked at Negi Toshihisa with an angry face, and turned his head suddenly to look at the filthy corpse hanging on the dissecting table. He was stunned.
"……no?"
So, are they wrong?
Kenjiro Watanabe quickly called several conjurers, and they all came up with completely opposite answers from before.
The power remaining on the corpse has nothing to do with Negi Toshihisa at all. The two are very different. Compared with the remaining power of human beings, it is more like the bite of a curse.
It's strange, why did they think that this was the filth of Neki Riku's mantra before.
"This..." Although Kenjiro Watanabe wanted to continue to suspect that it was Xia Youjie's fault, the current situation seemed more like someone trying to frame Xia Youjie's conjurer but failed.
Could it be that it wasn't the person Negi Toshihisa killed, but someone faked the scene to frame him?
What kind of stupid move by a high-level executive!
It's no wonder that Kenjiro Watanabe subconsciously suspected that he was in the upper echelon. Being from a family, he actually knew the pissing nature of the people in the upper echelons of the Director of Spells, and felt that it was entirely possible for them to do such a thing.It's just a pity that he, who somehow hit Xia Youjie's muzzle, became a chess piece thrown out by the higher-ups.
Kenjiro Watanabe's face turned pale, and under Xia Youjie's cold eyes, he reluctantly apologized to Neki Riku who was wronged.There is also a follow-up compensation process. Xia Youjie didn't want it from a pawn like Kenjiro Watanabe, he was going to chat with the rotten oranges.
However, this case cannot be dismissed as such.
Xia Youjie took out his mobile phone and made a call to the Armed Detective Agency in Yokohama.
Thank you for the Armed Detective Agency business card he received when he was in Yokohama under a false name and identity.
"Although Neki Toshihisa's suspicion has been cleared, there are many doubts in this case from the collection of evidence to the interrogation. I suspect that someone is behind it." Ignoring Watanabe Kenjiro's ugly face, Xia Youjie raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: " In my opinion, Mr. Edogawa Ranpo, a supernatural detective, should be invited to investigate the truth."
There must be something wrong with the black spider threads that Enichi picked up from Chida Naomi and Neki Riku.
"This is an internal matter of our conjuration world." Kenjiro Watanabe was insane to agree to the involvement of a supernatural detective, a non-magician, in this case. He looked at Xia Youjie with dissatisfaction, and emphasized: "Conjurers should not report to Xia Youjie." The non-magician exposes the truth about the power of spells and curses, so as not to..."
"So as not to cause the non-magician who knows the truth to have negative emotions related to the magic spirit and the magician." Xia Youjie took the words of Watanabe Kenjiro nonchalantly, with a cold expression, "Don't worry, hire Edogawa Ranpo The entrustment fee is covered by Ranjiao."
"Xia Youjie!"
"Mr. Watanabe." Xia Youjie said indifferently, "Our Ranjiao people almost became the victims of the director's misjudgment. We only want the truth, is this too much?"
"you……"
[Hello, this is Armed Detective Agency, what help do you need? ]
The call is connected.
***
It just so happened that Edogawa was so idle in the office holding snacks in a daze. He heard that there was a very tricky murder case related to a mysterious department of the government. The Armed Detective Agency happily accepted it. case.
"Lijiu, I have a task for you." Xia Youjie patted Negi Riku on the shoulder, "Go and assist Mr. Edogawa in investigating the case."
"Okay." Neki Riku nodded vigorously.He wants to see who is so wicked and framed him.
Glancing at Kenjiro Watanabe, who frowned and disapproved, Xia Youjie said coolly, "If Mr. Watanabe is worried, you can follow him and watch the investigation process of a detective. Trust the professionals."
Xia Youjie had witnessed Edogawa Ranpo's strength once when he was in Yokohama. It was very powerful, and it was beyond the reach of ordinary detectives.Throwing Kenjiro Watanabe over, Xia Youjie was very much looking forward to being stripped to the bottom by the famous detective for him and the executives behind him.
Temporarily handing over this trouble to the Armed Detective Agency, Xia Youjie returned to Ranjiao alone, with Yuan Yi behind him that no one could see.
Yuanyi stood in the main hall, staring blankly at Izanami who was sitting on the altar with drooping eyelashes and gentle brows, his lips moved but did not make a sound.His eyes moved down and landed on the two young god sons next to the mother god. He looked at the statue of the young god who had the same appearance as his young self in this life, and then at the statue with beautiful eyebrows and eyes clearly bearing the shadow of Xia Youjie. The young god statue could not help but curl the corners of its lips, and said in a low voice, "It's so cute."
The younger brother is so cute.
"Tuk Tuk."
Xia Youjie tapped on the low table, pretending not to hear Yuan Yi's words, and calmly said, "Yuan Yi, come and sit."
Yuanyi hurried over. He was sitting on the tatami with his hands on his knees, looking at Xia Youjie attentively and gently.
Xia Youjie pursed his lips. He had too many questions that he wanted to ask Yuanyi, but he felt that he had no position to ask.After hesitating for a while, Xia Youjie decided to throw the question to Yuanyi himself, and said slowly: "Yuanyi, these years... don't you want to say something to me?"
Say something?
Yuanyi laughed slowly, with gentle eyes, and said softly: "Jie, I miss you very much."
Xia Youjie looked at Yuanyi, looked at this former human being who had been taught for a few days to be particularly close, and even more distantly, they were even close brothers. Xia Youjie lost most of his strong momentum, and he whispered Said: "I miss you too."
He is a wound that Garonaj can never heal, one of the most painful memories of his life, and his most cherished family and brother.
As much as he loves Goddess and Kagutsuchi, he hates Izanagi.
After a pause, Xia Youjie said softly, "When did you remember that?"
"The Well of Bone-eating." Yuan Yi looked at Xia Youjie and said softly, "Human life is about to come to an end. When I saw you crawling out of the well of bone-eating, I suddenly remembered."
Thinking about it, who is the young man in front of him? Is it Xia Youjie who once gave him care and help, or Kaluo Najie, the twin brother of the same mother.
Think about what they have experienced together in the long past.
Realized why he time traveled from the future to the present.
Had to face the reality that they parted again.
***
Ji Guoyuanyi's world is transparent, as far as the eye can see, the world is straightforward and ugly.He was trapped in the dislocation between self-cognition and reality until Xia Youjie's arrival.
The world of Kagutsuchi is also transparent, as far as the eye can see, there are endlessly entangled threads of law and cause and effect, densely twisted, like a spider web that binds the lord of the sun wheel of destiny.He was also trapped in the dislocation of self-knowledge and causal line until he heard the heartbeat.
His brother, his half body, his Garanaj.
is the younger brother.
Snuggling up with Galanaj, the truth that the world reveals to him no longer seems so glaring.He learned to close his eyes and concentrate only on listening to the voice of Karanaja.
Finally, finally came the day of their birth.
Kagutsuchi opened his eyes.
Although in his heart, Galanaje is the younger brother, but he said that he wants to be the elder brother, and Kagutsudo, who dotes on his younger brother, will naturally not compete with Galanaje for the first birth.
But what did he see?
He saw a future causal line.
Following the causal line soaked in blood, he saw the slain Garonaje, saw himself who lost control of his original divine power because of this, burned the mother goddess and was beheaded by the ten-fist sword, and saw himself falling into the The mother goddess who lost everything in the underworld also saw Izanagi, the culprit who caused all this.
No!
Destiny is not immutable, cause and effect are always changing.Often just one choice will create a different future.
Kagutsuchi was born first.
Not only was he born one step ahead of Galanaje, but he also moved the line of cause and effect, delaying the birth of Galonaje, and pretending to have a similar divine power fluctuation as Galonaje.
Impatiently, Izanagi kills the new Lord of the Heavens, whom he has identified, and also kills the Mother Goddess when she is trying to protect him.
The mother goddess brought Galanajie into the underworld, and she still became the god of the underworld, but this time, she saved a child.Although he died before he was born, although he was born in the filthy place of the underworld where the gods shunned, his new destiny continued along another line of cause and effect.
Will we meet again?
In the pain of being torn apart from the god body and soul, Kagutsuchi thought in a trance——
[I don't want to die. 】
[I still want to see them. 】
【my mother. 】
【my brother. 】
On the verge of death, Kagutsuchi holds a line of cause and effect that is free from fate.
[Master Vulcan! 】
【Master Kagutsu! 】
The reverence and belief from living beings constantly repaired his broken soul. After some time passed, he finally regained a little consciousness and instinctively grasped the glimmer of life.
Without reincarnation in the underworld, he reincarnated as Ji Guo Yuan Yi.
Then, he met Xia Youjie.
When we met for the first time, we felt close and hit it off. We have been apart for many years, and it has never changed.And when this human body is gradually aging and death is approaching, he misses Xia Youjie more and more.
After 50 years of separation, when we finally meet again, the memory belonging to Kagutsuchi wakes up in the soul of Tsukuni Enichi.
It's Jay.
Even without the aura of divine power from the same source, his spirit can still recognize his most important brother.
However, there is no time.
He once again saw the causal line full of murderous intentions.
Sending Xia Youjie back 500 years with his own hands, Yuan Yi used this aging body to kill those guys who were hiding their heads and showing their tails.He knew who sent them, and he also understood the urgency of the other party to get rid of him.
However, it is impossible.
The soul finally recovered at that moment, allowing him to see the possibility of returning to his brothers, how could Yuan Yi let them destroy it.
Through that battle, Yuanyi abandoned that old body, and hid his soul in the broken Sunlun Saber.He deliberately let the broken knife fall into the bone-eating well, and hid it with the time-space fluctuations of the bone-eating well.
This collection is 500 years old.
He waited for Xia Youjie 500 years later, and used the thread of cause and effect to pull him and Gojo Satoru to travel through time and space, and came to the Warring States Period 500 years ago, where he met Ji Guoyuanyi in the past.
Karma of destiny binds into a ring.
Yuanyi's soul is sleeping in the sun wheel knife, and sleeping is one of the best healing methods for gods.Although he really wanted to see Xia Youjie, he didn't want to show his weak side in front of his younger brother.
He hoped that in Jie's eyes, his elder brother would always be the strongest.
however……
Izanagi is really annoying.
Sensing the approaching decaying divine power, Yuan Yi struggled to wake up from his deep sleep.
The scene from long ago was staged again.
No matter how many times.
Yuan Yi calmly thought:
No matter how many times, no one in this world can cross the sun wheel knife in his hand and hurt his most important younger brother.
He hugged Xia Youjie, and the original flame blazed up.
***
"It's actually that time..." Xia Youjie was slightly taken aback, no wonder Yuanyi looked at him strangely at that time, and the words he said were also strange.He originally thought that Yuan Yi had become a little old man during those 50 years, that's why he was so kind when he saw the 17-year-old Xia Youjie.
Xia Youjie pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, "What happened after that?"
Yuanyi looked at Xia Youjie and blinked innocently.
"Answer the question." Xia Youjie knocked on the low table, "You acted too hastily at that time. I just climbed out of the bone-eating well and saw you, an old man in his 80s and 50s. '[-] years', 'I've had a good time' were so blocked that I couldn't speak, and then I was pushed down the well of bone eating by you...Do you dare to say that you didn't do it on purpose?"
Because Xia Youjie thought that one day they would meet in Huangquan or meet his reincarnation, although Xia Youjie noticed that Yuanyi was behaving strangely, he didn't think deeply, but was a little melancholy.
Now, it is confirmed that Yuanyi is Kagutsuchi, not a human being, and has been sleeping in the sun wheel knife he picked up from the bone eating well... Xia Youjie doesn't like conspiracy theories, but something bad must have happened at that time matter.
The opportunity for him and Wu to travel through the Warring States period was the bone-eating well with energy fluctuations in time and space, and the black broken knife that Xia Youjie hadn't seen anything before.
Now, one corner of the secret about the broken knife has been unraveled. It is the sun wheel knife of Yuanyi, and the future Yuanyi has been sleeping in the knife.
The timeline is difficult to cross because the cost of change is too high.His past was woven into the Warring States Period, which he shouldn't have set foot in, probably just to meet Yuanichi who reincarnated as a human in that period.
It was Yuanyi in the future that prompted him to go to the Warring States Period, in other words, the price of crossing the time axis was paid by Yuanyi.
What made Yuanyi reunite with him in such a roundabout way?
Also, just like what Nuliang Huapiao complained about Daigo Genji back then, Yuanyi, as the most powerful swordsman in the Warring States Period, had sheltered Genji for so many years, and they couldn't even keep a little relic left by him.
As a result, Enichi's Hinata Knife was broken under the Bone Eater's Well, and the scabbard fell into the hands of the Nuragumi.
There is only one possibility, and that is: Yuanyi didn't die and was buried by Genji's people, but died outside, most likely in battle.
Here comes the key question: who killed Yuanyi?
Xia Youjie's eyes were deep and dark, revealing a frightening coldness.
Yuanyi: "...actually 67 years old."
He was only 67 years old at the time, not seven or eighty years old.
Xia Youjie: "Yuanyi!"
67 years old is the point?Seven to eighty years old is just a false finger, a false finger!
Yuanyi pursed his lips, silently swallowed the explanation of "I will be 68 years old in two more months", and said in a low voice, "Don't dare."
Xia Youjie was stunned for a moment, and after reviewing his previous question, he realized that Yuanyi's "dare not" was answering the previous question.
——Do you dare to say that you didn't do it on purpose?
- dare not.
In other words, Yuanyi came as if he had confessed his last words at that time, the pile of good things was good, don't read it and push it again, it was intentional.
The corners of Xia Youjie's mouth twitched, it was as if he didn't say anything.
Does he want to ask if he dares?
What he asked was obviously what happened at that time!
On both sides of the low table, the two brothers of the same origin stared at each other, speechless for a moment.
After a while, Xia Youjie said, "Can't you say that?"
Yuanyi: "...It's not impossible to say, it's just..."
"I just don't want to say it." Xia Youjie turned his head, instead of looking at Yuanyi, he looked at the courtyard outside the main hall.
Ranjiao's courtyard is really unique, which is worthy of his aesthetics.
