4 Chapter 4
***
Ten minutes ago, when you left Shinjuku Station after chasing the fly's head on the shoulders of passers-by, two young high school students who had received an unexpected task finally arrived at the scene using a special mode of transportation.
The incident happened suddenly, and ordinary means of transportation were naturally omitted. Considering that you may be a curser, a minute late could have one more non-sorcerer mutilated. Therefore, at Xia Youjie's suggestion, the two spell masters, who were still at a playful age, chose to abandon the assistant overseer who had been waiting at the school gate for a long time, and turned their heads and straddled the rainbow dragon that had been summoned at some point.
As a spell spirit that had been registered within the High Commission, the appearance of the rainbow dragon naturally did not trigger an alarm within the enchantment, but only caused the auxiliary overseer who saw it to slip his glasses and almost fell to the ground on the spot.
"No, no, Xia Youjun, this method is too dangerous, in case it is seen by a non-magician-"
"Unless you meet with the oncoming plane, you shouldn't have the leisure to look up and look around when you're working weekdays."
Xia Youjie said this, raised his hand very politely, and made a farewell gesture to the innocent assistant superintendent: "I will be careful to avoid the plane route, and I'll see you later, Mr. Ueda." ”
The moment the rainbow dragon slowly rose, his white-haired best friend, who was also sitting behind him, let out a loud "oh", and his eager tone was like a schoolboy who had just gotten a new toy.
"Now I can experience the fun of being a Pokémon player." Satoru Gojo commented, "When I come back, I will dismantle and reorganize my Sunny Sky Team, and Lao Tzu will also be a master of the flight department!" ”
"It's better to keep your mouth shut if you talk so much, and it's none of my business to get wind in my stomach later."
"Hell—so how long does it take to fly from here to Shinjuku? Do I have my own infinity to come fast? ”
"It's about 5 to 7 minutes, so that's why I told you to shut up and don't eat the wind - what's that expression?"
Facing the warning gaze from his best friend's side, Satoru Gojo restored the corners of his mouth that had been torn off by disgust to his original arc, twisted his head and said casually, "It's nothing." It's really useless - Lao Tzu retracted what he just said, it seems that the flight department really can't win the championship. ”
Xia Youjie: "......"
At this time, arguing with him about this kind of thing will only be dragged into the rhythm of the other party, and Xia Youjie, who is proud to be past the age of Ultraman's combat power, chose to take a deep breath and twist his head back to sit down again.
"You can fly on your own if you want to. But let me warn you, Satoru - if you bump into a big iron bird in the process, I won't help you deal with it. ”
***
Putting aside whether Gojo Satoru would crash headlong into a full passenger plane in the process of compressing the space and cause a tragic traffic accident, in short, in the gap between the two young college students with opposite personalities, Honglong slowly landed on the roof that the road's surveillance cameras couldn't see.
The height of a two-story building was nothing for the sorcerers, and when they jumped from the roof and walked down the alley to the entrance of Shinjuku Station, they were already surrounded by police cars and an unknown crowd of people who had arrived later.
The assistant superintendent in charge of liaison with government officials had apparently not yet arrived at the scene, and across a long cordon, Satoru Gojo stood in the crowd with his hands in his pockets, his face under sunglasses staring at the messy ground for a few seconds.
"How? Is the situation tricky? Xia Youjie sighed almost uncheckably at the messy scene, and it was not difficult to imagine the chaos at the scene at the time of the incident through here, "What kind of technique is the other party?" It's hard to tell by the remnants of mana alone. ”
“…… Very faint. ”
"What?"
"I said, the guy in the video wearing a strange doll costume, her spell is very weak."
Gojo Satoru retracted his gaze from the back of the cordon and turned to look at his best friend beside him, "Didn't you notice, Jay?" This guy's mana residue can't be caught at all, it's very likely that she didn't use the spell at all, and the only thing that can be hunted down is the mana left in the spell. ”
"I feel it, it's really weird." Xia Youjie said with a slight bow, his brows furrowed unconsciously, "So-this matter doesn't seem as simple as it seems?" The other party is very smart and didn't use the technique, just just to create panic among non-magicians, no matter how you think about it, there should be another plan behind it. ”
"Ah, I don't rule it out."
"Where did she go?"
"Over there."
Satoru Gojo stretched out his hand and pointed to a high-rise shopping mall standing in the middle of a forest of buildings a few hundred meters away.
"Her magic power is about the same level as that of ordinary people, and if you don't look carefully, it's really hard to find out in the crowd."
"That's why Nightmoth let you come with me, and here's why."
Xia Youjie smiled slightly. Be the first to push through the dense crowd and walk in the direction he has guided.
"Alright, let's meet her."
"After all, if I really let her slip away, not only me, but Satoru should also feel very shameless."
***
So the timeline goes back to the present.
With the unique vision of the six eyes, follow the faint magic power all the way to the interior of the mall. The lobby on the first floor was chaotic, with many people running in a hurry, shouting high-pitched remarks such as "call the police" and "there is a madman". There was also a group of people on the event stage in front of them, surrounding the host who was paralyzed on the ground, and calling the hospital's emergency number.
The scene looked very chaotic.
Seeing this scene, the spell spirit gymnastics made eye contact with the young best friend beside him, and they both had a preliminary understanding of the whereabouts of the strangely dressed girl.
"Where to start, there are too many people, and it will be too late to take the elevator."
"How about one person and three floors, Satoru's eyes are better, and the floor with a lot of people will be handed over to you."
Satoru Gojo put his hands in his pockets and nodded indispensably.
"Yes. Let's get started. ”
Xia Youjie couldn't help but sigh the moment he pressed the elevator: "Anyway...... At least for now, it seems that the other party has no intention of harming ordinary people. It's a good thing. ”
Truly.
Otherwise, even if they could get to the scene in the three minutes that "Infinity" desperately squeezed out, they would be greeted by a blood-colored Shinjuku street, not the farcical chaos of the scene now.
Compared with Xia Youjie's sentiments, which were mixed with a little compassion for ordinary people, Gojo Satoru, who was standing behind him, did not show superfluous emotions from beginning to end, and his businesslike face looked very cold.
He shrugged his shoulders, and did not express reasonable empathy for Xia Youjie's words, but dragged out his tone and said listlessly: "Ah-is there such a statement? Anyway, I'll have to write a mission report, and since Jay is so attentive, then I'll hand over my share to you—"
"You want to be beautiful, enlightenment." Xia Youjie decisively rejected him, "Do your own thing, I won't." Are you still a child? ”
"Hey, there's no flexibility at all, so I hate people like you—"
Regardless of how long the hatred in the mouth of the six eyes could last, at this time, the elevator finally came down from the sixth floor, and after confirming that it had stopped for a second, the door opened to them.
Xia Youjie grabbed the cuffs of Satoru Gojo, who was standing still with a big grin, and pulled him to the right-hand side to dodge, giving the elevator person a place.
And the moment the elevator door opened, the crowded crowd inside suddenly seemed to have found a passage called the bright exit, and in the restlessness, you pushed me and ran out of it. One of the women even lost her high heels.
"What happened?" Xia Youjie bent down to pick up the shoe and handed it to the woman, his gentle tone and peaceful smiling face made it difficult to think of refusing to answer.
The lady thanked him in a low voice and quickly answered his question.
"There's a mentally disturbed girl up there slashing people with a knife, don't go, it's dangerous!"
In the background, people rushing out of the safety stairs rushed to the service center, full of horror and gestured to the staff at the service desk, and successfully infected the other party with the same emotion.
Announcements to urgently disperse the crowd soon sounded in the mall.
Facing the scattered crowd, Xia Youjie smiled and thanked the kind lady, then turned his head and walked into the completely vacant elevator with Gojo Satoru.
"It's the sixth floor, right?"
"It's the sixth floor."
"I also deliberately chose a place with a lot of people to make trouble, which is even more suspicious now."
"So are you ready, there may be a fight in a while."
"Hah, does that need to be prepared for that kind of thing? Not all the time? ”
"I mean—remember to put the tent in your mind, where do you want to go, Satoru."
In between conversations, the elevator staggered and stopped halfway out of control between the third and fourth floors.
Satoru Gojo slapped the key hard, and after confirming that the thing was really out of order, he raised his hand without hesitation and blasted open the closed metal door with his spell.
The door to the fourth floor was also pierced by the majestic mana.
Xia Youjie was speechless for a while, but finally climbed out of the elevator with the figure of his best friend.
As soon as he hit the ground, Gojo Satoru paused and looked up at the heavy ceiling above him.
Xia Youjie said: "Is there anything on it?" ”
Satoru Gojo said, "A very strong source of mana, quasi-first-level...... No, at least it should be level 1. ”
A first-class spell spirit appears in the center of the city. Without a doubt, quite a tricky thing to do.
The fourth floor of the mall is the men's clothing area, Gojo Satoru stood in place and felt it, raised his feet and walked into the fourth store on the right, raised his hand and pointed upwards in Xia Youjie's puzzled gaze, and said:
"Probably in this location. If you use "Cang", you should be able to beat the spell spirit to ashes along with that guy. What do you think? Jay. ”
Xia Youjie: "......"
Even though they have been together day and night for nearly three months, at this moment, the words in the other party's mouth are still difficult to accept.
Xia Youjie gave up the idea of correcting the other party at this time, and just said, "No, just come to a passage where you can go up." ”
"That's easy to say."
Satoru Gojo said this, and raised his hand very handsomely, aiming his palm in a certain direction above the ceiling.
Then there was a 'boom' - directly through the mezzanine with magic force.
At the same time, Xia Youjie felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Look at it - sure enough, Lao Tzu's 'flying skills' are faster."
With the operation of the infinite limit technique, the distance of space was compressed, and almost in the blink of an eye, they jumped up from the broken hole, and then a surging golden wave followed.
In this overwhelming field, Xia Youjie clearly saw that the expressions of his best friends around him became a little stunned for a moment, as if something was beyond his common sense.
What could it be?
Xia Youjie thought instinctively.
Soon, however, he realized that he could no longer think about it.
Realizing this, the young mantra made the expression on his face as stunned as Six-Eyes.
Obviously, this is from the realm of suspected cursers.
And this area - there is a problem!
