9 CHAPTER IX

Guannanjing's life has completely changed.

He was taken by Qi Suo to an ancient building that looked a bit like a Buddhist temple but not quite like it, which was probably the former house of his shell Xia Youjie, because Qi Suo was still using the identity of the other party, and there would always be people shouting at him. He wasn't interested in what was hereβ–‘β–‘ base camp, to be precise, he couldn't go out to school, he didn't care about anything anymore.

Every day, he just wanders around like a little ghost in a yukata, and he can sit in a daze anywhere.

Before, except for the occasional help to do something for Qi Suo and meet strange spell spirits, he didn't participate in the other party's human social circle at all, yes, Qi Suo would rather take him to see spell spirits than see humans. But now it's probably because he lives in isolation and no longer becomes a human being outside, so Qi Suo no longer deliberately separates him, and many times Guan Nanjing is lying on the couch reading a book, and Qi Suo is chatting with people across the screen.

He accidentally found a lot of Buddha incense in this room, which was sandalwood, but he didn't know which kind of sandalwood, he only felt that the bitterness was familiar and reassuring, so he ordered it every day. It's strange that there are so many people coming and going, and none of them are stained, only he seems to be soaked in a few days. After talking outside the screen, Qi Suo opened the barrier of this gold-embroidered delicate bird, and could often see Guannan Mirror lying on the couch with his face supported in the faint incense mist, and the soft black hair and cheeks were illuminated by the light, so he couldn't tell whether it was Xia Youjie's memories and emotions or his own happy and stable heart.

He said he wanted to teach him, but he didn't lie. His best lectures are Japanese history and Chinese, and in Chinese he is more adept at Old Japanese and Old Chinese. When there are no visitors, he holds his head in one hand and a book in the other, lying on his side on the couch and talking to Guan Nanjing about the texts, all kinds of allusions come at his fingertips, and he understates it as if he is telling the story he has experienced.

When he read that Emperor Suiko made his nephew, Prince Shotoku, regent of the crown prince, Shotoku, he could even tell what kind of incense burner was used for the ceremony, as if he was quietly watching some incense under the porch. Speaking of the allusion "Three Offerings of Tea", he lazily said that it was someone else's business, and it was on Ishida Mitsunari, and it was as if he was the little novice who really served tea, and held a cup and offered it to Hideyoshi.

Reading history books is so bad, the past is like smoke, the same story repeats itself, it is exciting at first, but after a long time, I only feel lonely and hopeless, and Guannanjing gradually falls asleep.

Midsummer came, and there were trees outside the courtyard, but no cicadas chirped, so the weather was so hot that it was almost dead silent. Guannan Mirror also has to light incense, in the faint smoke, the tall black-haired man leans on the couch, his forehead hair is half wet, the purple eyes under the bangs are often slightly closed, and the underwear is also close to the body, and he is thin day by day, but he still has a lazy and free demeanor, only whispering that this shell is afraid of heat and does not like to eat at this season.

Guan Nanjing didn't like him to use Xia Youjie's body to be comfortable, but he didn't like him to make Xia Youjie's body uncomfortable. He didn't like cursers, he didn't like spells, he didn't like to talk about conspiracies, he didn't like to discuss ideals, and he didn't care about anything but reading and barely being interested. Although he said that he had brought all the things from the past, most of them had not even been dismantled, but he had just left them there, just played the opening game, and just bought a set of movie discs, but they were all lying in the dark corner, gradually turning ashes.

But even so, Xia Youjie's heart was beating with strong joy. He didn't realize that the shell seemed to have an unprecedented effect on him, or that he realized it but still didn't care, or even indulged in it a little. The long summer is long, except for the scorching summer day is a rainstorm day, the sky outside the window is dark, the rain hits the plantain crisply, but the house is more and more silent. He looked at the Guannan Mirror curled up beside him like a kitten sleeping peacefully, and only then could he gently stroke the hair of his sideburns.

One inside and outside the screen is watching and the other is talking, two worlds entirely. After reading the history of Japan, Guan Nanjing began to learn classical Chinese according to the textbooks, read ancient Chinese books, and read recommended books on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

He read Taoyuan Jieyi, and Qi Suo arranged the curse master who used it to communicate, some believed that he was Xia Youjie, some did not believe it, some pretended to believe it, and some pretended not to believe it; He read three visits to the thatched house, and Qi Suo finally tied up with a student in Kyoto High School while chatting with a real person, and fished out an internal shackle in his hands; When he read that the grass boat borrowed arrows, they had already obtained what they wanted from the high commissioner, although the flower royal who fought in the front was not lightly injured.

The thing is the nine-phase diagram of the mantra, and the ten fingers of the Buddha.

didn't ask for it, Guan Nanjing treated Hua Yu's injury. The other party is probably the only clean guy in this piece of garbage heap where people are not like people and spirits, and occasionally when he hears what plants he sees reading a book, he will silently plant them in front of his window. He felt as if a small explosion had erupted on it, shattered and destroyed. Speaking of which, this is the second time it has escaped from Gojo Satoru's hands, and the first time it also took the leaky pot with it, not an ordinary embarrassment. It hurts it, and it becomes a matter of asking for it, and it seeks skin with the tiger, and the harm is endless.

The ready-made case is that the cursed master who was still drinking here last week is gone. Qi Suo didn't care at all in front of Guannan Mirror, showing his true feelings, he wanted to get rid of these guys through the hands of the spell master, and smiled and told him that someone would help recycle the waste when it was used, which was the most comfortable thing in the world.

"Those guys, arrogant and stupid...... It's not human, it's just a monkey. I don't hate people with bad hearts, madness is a power, but I really hate stupid people......"

He said casually while laying a sunspot, twisting Zi'er and looking at the Guannan mirror with a smile, waiting for him to take the next step.

Guan Nanjing looked at the chess game carefully, did not answer his words, and did not allow the faint sympathy for Hua Yu in his heart to produce any fruits, and only watched from the wall. The spell spirits are not stupid, this is just a battle between black and black, full of cruelty and blood, each with his own ability, each hiding his own eyes, to see who can go to the end. On the contrary, Hua Yu deliberately said to him after waking up:

"Gurgling Purr ......"

Although the voice didn't know what a strange syllable combination was, the meaning was directly transmitted to Guan Nanjing's mind:

"I see it...... That friend of yours, he's fine. ”

After a while, he added: "I didn't deliberately kill him, although he was the weakest one." ”

Guan Nanjing even reacted for a moment before realizing that it was talking about Shunping. Just like the mobile phone that has been smashed a long time ago, Yoshino Shunpei, a person who is linked to his campus life, seems to have been smashed out of this world together, and he only now knows that the other party has been taken to the high school.

Also, after all, with a little bit of mana, even if you can't be a spell master, you still have the ability to be a logistic.

Anyway, it's better than continuing to be friends with him - too far from heaven, too close to Kisso. Perhaps that's why the sorcerers went out of their way to protect him.

Guan Nanjing was silent, and did not answer Hua Yu's implicit kindness, but gently put his hand on its broken eyes: "Sleep." ”

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

Seeing that the door of his office was not closed and still bright, Iiri pushed open the door with a tired face, and as expected, Gojo Satoru was sitting in a Barcelona chair, one hand supporting his temple, and the other hand was slowly turning.

He was obviously looking at something closely, and the ring was turning different lights under the lamp because of the change of angle, and it looked brilliant and beautiful.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Go check on Nanami, it's time for him to wake up."

Iiri didn't know what Gojo Satoru thought, she only felt that if she had to wear this ring every day, she would only feel a kind of pain all the time. Looking at the other party's expression, combined with what she asked before, she guessed something, hugged her arms and leaned against the door and asked:

"Did you find ......anything from that skinning curser?"

"Ahh Satoru Gojo held up an extremely delicate and miniature red-lacquered drum in his hand, which was barely visible, and the two sides of the drum were surrounded by many intricate spell patterns: "If you inject mana, the drum will vibrate, and it will cause people to be confused, hallucinate, and bleed to death in both ears." Amazing, right? It is very rare to have such a small but powerful first-level spell device. However, such a rare thing, eight of them were found in his house alone. ”

The two of them were silent together for too long: it wasn't the spell that made it work like this.

It is not the paper that makes up the drum surface, but the skin, the skin of a special physique, the human skin.

"I haven't met him in eleven years, and the last time I saw him, it should have been just a doppelganger of mana......" Gojo Satoru slowly raised his head and looked at the silent Iiri Glass: "Glass, it's strange to say, I shouldn't be afraid, I don't have a heart beating or my hands shaking, but I've been sitting here for half an hour, and I still haven't touched it." ”

"Is this fear? I'm a stranger to fear. When people talk about fear, are they describing this feeling? ”

He asked.

The tone is really confused, really puzzled.

Iiri lit a cigarette and closed his eyes gently: "Who knows, Gojo." ”

"How long have I been asleep, my sister?"

When she entered the room, Nanami had woken up, better than she had expected, but not much betterβ€”she had been unconscious for so long that she wasn't sure if the other person's spirit had been damaged.

"Open your eyes. Turn. Close your eyes, open your eyes, okay. What is the number? ”

She compared it to him, and her smoking skills were wonderful, and the cigarette was still as steady as a mountain in her slightly leaning posture, and no ashes had fallen.

"I'm not stupid, I'm not amnesia, I'm not crazy, I'm not controlled by spells, my sister is a schoolmate." Nanami Kento asked with a hollow look in his eyes and a hoarse voice, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"Please use the word 'coma' – it's been a long time, almost three months. Stuck in a nightmare and can't get out? What was the pre-coma intelligence? I really don't want to be so indifferent, but so much has happened in the time you have been asleep, and now we are very passive......"

Nanami Kento was stunned for a moment: "Nightmare? No, it's a beautiful dreamscape to be exact. ”

He seemed to want to raise his hand to cover his face and block the light, but because his limbs were too weak, he only reluctantly turned his head in the end: "I should have been confused by spells...... I...... I saw the mirror. ”

"I was fighting a face sewing spell, but after repelling the other man, I fled outside, waiting for backup, and that's when I saw the mirror. There should be other spell effects around that are spells that cause illusions, otherwise they wouldn't be so realistic......"

"Wait a minute." Ierim interrupted him: "So you met him so early? Damn, I should have thought of it a long time ago, where does Yidi know that three-legged cat first aid technique to help you stop the bleeding. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What are you talking about? Nanami Kenren's voice began to tremble slightly, as if he couldn't even pronounce it: "That's an illusion......"

"It's not an illusion, it's a real mirror." The eyes of the house were clearly extinguished in the smoke: "But I don't know for what reason, kidnapping, coercion, control...... Right now, he's mingling with an unknown enemy. ”

Guan Nanjing sat with his face on the mahjong table with no interest, looking at the first three of the nine-phase diagram that had completed the flesh.

The nine-phase diagram is a picture used to record the nine stages of a person's body after death, and it is often painted how the beauty turns into dry bones step by step ugly, with the intention of letting people see through the impermanence of life and death. However, Kamo Kenronz, who made the nine-phase diagram, was trying to create a life, even though he created the evil fetus of a human and a spell spirit, using his own blood - but taking such a name, combined with the fact that the nine-phase diagram of the spell is a stillbirth with nine stages of development, still seems extremely ironic.

A parent who is a hundred times more vicious than the Qi Suo next to him. *

This is the first time that Guan Nanjing has seen the "fleshy" body, in addition to the swelling and still maintaining the human appearance, but there are more tattoos on the face, the blood and bad paint are very peculiar, obviously there are the basic body structure and organs of the person, but it does mutate, as if the real person fabricated those modified people.

But even though he looks very strange and is very tall, his eyes are so simple, he can really see that he is a child. The three of them were curled up naked on the ground together, swelling to protect their two younger brothers, and the blood was still eating their fingers in a daze.

It was impossible to count on the spell spirits or to count on Qi Suo to take care of them, so Guannanjing got up in silence and took them to take a bath, comb their hair, and bring them clothes to fit them on. The level of consciousness of the body is also different from what he understands.,Swelling is also a newborn.,At the same time, the strength is stronger.,Thinking ability and social experience seem to be more sufficient.,Leave the two younger brothers to make him feel at ease after looking at the south mirror and go to negotiate with the mahjong group alone.。

Guan Nanjing cooked food for the two brothers who were so hungry. Blood Tu squatted on a chair and clumsily tried to tie a bib to himself, while the bad appearance was curious to look around, and asked what the life of a human being in Nanjing was like, and what a human like him did every day?

"......" Guan Nanjing was silent for a while, but he didn't lie in the end: "I will go to school and study with my friends." ”

"With friends" is automatically translated as "with brothers", and the bad face and blood point to themselves and ask:

"Can we go too?"

After all, it is the result of resentment, and they seem to already know that their appearance is different from that of normal humans, so they want to hide and feel worried. Guan Nanjing couldn't tell the truth anymore, and said softly: "Okay, it's just that the uniform has to be changed, so it will take a while." I'm in the same situation, I'm only at home for the time beingβ€”"

Bad looks and blood smeared cheered.

The mahjong room is not so lively, only the sound of touching cards is constantly flowing. Listening to the sound outside, he was silent for a long time, closed his eyes, and said to them:

"I choose you."

Then he opened the door and went out to interrupt his younger brothers who were asking if Guan Nanjing could learn cooking at school, telling them that they had something to do and couldn't study for the time being, which was really sorry.

"It's okay!" Bad sumo wrestled on him.

"As long as we are with my eldest brother, it is the happiest thing in the world, even if we go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, we will do it!" Blood smeared on him, too.

Brothers.

For some reason, he felt a stabbing pain in his empty chest again, as if he should have a brother too, but how could that be?

Seeking skin with the tiger is still seeking skin with the tiger. The three brothers in front of him were different from all the curse masters and spell spirits, which made Guan Nanjing feel very bad uncontrollably. But he didn't know what he had to do, so he just pulled out his chair:

"Let's eat first."

Ugly, stupid, dull, weak.

Qi Suo looked at the bad looks and blood smears who were running around through the door, and hated them in his heart for being a failure, and his eyes were really gentle when he looked at the south mirror. Although it is said that Knotweed Yuhito is the most successful one, he is the goods handed over to Su Wu to form a contract, and Qi Suo naturally has no nostalgic mood. The Nine Phases Diagram was not born by him, and it was a great failure, so he had never felt anything, only remembering the strong sense of disgust and loss after his hopes were shattered.

Only Guan Nanjing is not only the first time he has given birth by himself, but also a powerful, intelligent and beautiful one. Although there was an accident after his birth and he became a chaotic body, it was precisely because of this accident and unplanned that he became the only child he could stay with. After the ideal is realized, what kind of life will Guannanjing live? To be honest, he didn't know. But whether it's good or bad, it's all created for him by him-

"Xia Youjie, as a human being, what ideals are you striving for?"

The leaky pot suddenly asked while stacking cards.

The ten fingers of the Su Fu were all handed over to it for safekeeping - to be honest, this was unexpected, and it also made him change his opinion of the "Xia Youjie" in front of him a little, and decided to test him more.

"'Mother's love', I have such feelings for all mankind."

He looked at the Guannan Mirror outside the door and said with a smile: "I will create a new world full of infinite possibilities for my children." Whether the new world is suitable for him to survive or not, it is far better than this dying human society. If the true mother of humanity is dead and no one is trying to carve out a real future, then from now on, I am the new mother. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is it. Leaky Pot thoughtfully: "You really have a special disgusting thing to say, but I choose to respect you." Let's see whose dreams can be realized. ”

Kiss finally moved her gaze to his face, met the huge orange eyes, and smiled slightly.

Maniac, the leaky pot thought a little admiringly.

Idiot, Qi Suo scolded with great disdain.
