Seemed like a family, everyone was talking and laughing, except for that captain, who was quite strong and didn't smile; no one isolated him because of how many people he had killed, or what he had done, and he seemed like a real guest.
After all, he knew everything within a radius of two kilometers from his center, wherever the air circulated, and that naturally included the words that they had said before, and this was the terror of 『Sage Mode』;
But he just couldn't sense that guy who controlled trees, and he would be truly blind once he hid underground, and he was a guy who was even more threatening than Mahito.
An hour passed.
"I'm full, I'm full, that was great."
Zhang Nian touched her slightly bulging stomach, and lay on the sofa, and had a satisfied expression.
"Don't lie down right after you've finished eating, and you should exercise more."
Lu Ya, who was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, reminded her.
"I know, Sister Ya."
Zhang Nian said and turned over, and lay on her side, and propped up her head with her right hand, and picked up the remote control and started watching TV. She displayed an appearance of "I know, but I won't do it."
"..."
"Give me the bowls and chopsticks in your hands, and I ate very well tonight, so I'll do the dishes."
Yuuki, who was holding the mandarin duck pot, said.
"Ah,… mm."
For some reason, Lu Ya felt very at ease listening to Yuuki's slightly tender and steady voice, and it was as if he could do everything perfectly as long as he opened his mouth.
Looking at Yuuki, who had left and walked into the kitchen, and also looking at Zhang Nian, who was lying on the sofa like a corpse, Lu Ya actually started to wonder if 16-year-olds should be as mature as him…
As this idea began to expand, it became increasingly uncontrollable; it was like comparing your own child with other people's children, and your own child was being ruthlessly crushed…
Looking at her own child, who had already started to become decadent, she suddenly became angry, and shouted, "Get up and go wash the dishes with Yuuki, you're clearly both sixteen years old, but your personalities are worlds apart, and can you be a little more obedient, and don't add trouble for your brother."
"..."
Seeing Sister Ya suddenly lose her temper, Zhang Nian was stunned, and she usually seemed to be like this, right…
But she had no choice but to get up, after all, Sister Ya was very serious once she got angry, and the resentment in her heart towards this guest who had come from Japan became increasingly deep, and he had interrupted her peaceful life, and had caused her to be unable to slack off as a matter of course.
...
"Bang—!"
The kitchen door, which had originally been open, was suddenly closed tightly, and Yuuki didn't turn his head, and he just asked with interest, "What, do you want to fight me? Looking at how angry you are."
"...Ha! You've been exposed, and you're clearly just a bad kid who only knows how to fight, and I've already recorded it, and I'll let everyone know that those were just things that you had been acting out."
Zhang Nian, who had developed a competitive heart, shouted loudly, and also took out the phone in her pocket, which was recording, and teased him with interest, "How is it, you didn't expect it, right, and I'll delete it if you beg me, and I'll let your external image remain perfect and flawless."
She thought that Yuuki was a person who cared a lot about his image, after all, he wouldn't be so pretentious if he didn't care about his image, and he would definitely beg her.
"That's the behavior of a child, but I should beg if Maki did this, after all, I'm increasingly needing someone who can comfort me now."
Yuuki's right hand, which was washing the dishes, stroked his heart, and his heart was throbbing, and he wanted to find someone to confide in, and he wanted to confide his suffering, but he didn't want to reveal his weakness, and it was a very strange emotion;
Was it because he was alone?
Yuuki's answer to himself was yes, and he had wanted to go back after just coming out for one day, and looking at their harmonious atmosphere, he instinctively thought of the time when he had been with Zenin Maki and the others, and it seemed that only that could calm his restless heart;
After all, they were all of himself, and there wasn't anything else that he could lose.
He continued, "Although my personality is very terrible, I'm usually like this, and you can report it if you want to report it, after all, there isn't a perfect person in this world, and I don't consider myself to be perfect, but I'll strive to do my best."
Looking at Yuuki, who wasn't paying attention to her and was continuing to wash the dishes, Zhang Nian felt the difference between them, and she was indeed a snot-nosed kid compared to him, and she was just too willful.
"Y-you're amazing, and I'll spare you this time."
He wasn't an opponent on the same level, and Zhang Nian could feel it, and if he was put in school, he would definitely be the class monitor, and he could change her view of him with just a few words, and this person was too terrifying;
She couldn't stay for long, or else she would be led by him, and Zhang Nian seemed to have seen her natural enemy, and after helping to wash the dishes together, she quickly fled, and she didn't want to stay for even a moment longer.
"Thanks."
Looking at Zhang Nian, who had fled, Yuuki thanked her.
"Oh yo, you were actually able to scare that lawless little girl into running away, and you're worthy of being you, and the captain is already prepared, Yuuki."
Zhao Yang, who had suddenly poked his head out, said with a smile. Although he was still maintaining a bit of vigilance towards him, he had been eavesdropping outside the entire time just now, and this kid's personality was just terrible, but he knew how to be a person.
"Okay."
Yuuki shook off the water stains on his hands, and raised his head and gazed at the ceiling, and that was Zhang Hao's room, and it was located above the kitchen on the first floor, and everything in this house was under his supervision, and he seemed to be flipping through some information at this moment.
...
"Knock knock!"
Zhang Hao, who was sitting in the room and flipping through a book and checking, heard the sound of knocking on the door, and he also knew that it was Zhao Yang who had come, and said, "Just push the door open and come in, and why are you making it so formal? Zhao Yang."
"Aiya, wasn't I trying to be serious?"
Zhao Yang pushed open the door, and poked his head in and looked at the captain, who was reading a book, and then he let Yuuki walk in, and said hello and then closed the door, after all, this was the captain looking for him to talk alone, and it had nothing to do with him.
"Sit down, and I'll talk about what I know, and although I'm a squad captain who's at the top in terms of strength, I also know very little about the information of the Specials inside China, after all, they're Specials, and they're strong, and they've already escaped the control of the country."
Zhang Hao raised his right finger and pointed at the stool on the side, and although he had a rough appearance, and the long scar on his face, along with his serious expression, would cause anyone to think that he was a tricky and serious person at a glance, he was actually very gentle, and you could feel this from his initiative to apologize before.
'They've escaped the control of the country…'
Yuuki muttered in his heart, and also said "Mm" and sat down, and according to Zhao Yang, there were two Special Grade sorcerers inside China, and they had already escaped the control of the country at this moment, and it also meant that they hadn't been defined as 『Special Grade Sorcerers』 through normal means;
But it was very possible that the highest assessment in this country was just Grade 1 sorcerer, and the title of Special Grade would only be opened up for special situations, and it was like those who were strong to the point that they didn't listen to the management of the jujutsu higher-ups;
It also meant that, in addition to those two people who had truly been given the title of Special Grade Sorcerer, there were still many Grade 1 sorcerers who possessed strength that was comparable to Special Grade, but they listened to the management of the jujutsu higher-ups;
Perhaps, those two Specials weren't the strongest inside China, but they were definitely the freest.
Yuuki didn't say a word, and he quietly listened to Zhang Hao's explanation. But he didn't know why, and the more he thought like this, the more he looked forward to it, and they didn't obey the management of the higher-ups, and he also didn't want to obey, but he had no choice but to listen because of some irresistible reasons, and they should have a lot of common topics between them.
"There are four places at the moment, and the first is Mount Everest, which Zhao Yang told you about before;
And the second is the Yellow River, which is known as the Mother River."
"..."
Yuuki frowned after hearing this, and he was somewhat unsure if this was really something that he could hear?
He also didn't understand what the direct relationship between this and Lu Xiaoyao was, but looking at his immersive appearance during his speech, he also chose to continue listening, and Chinese history had evolved into cursed spirits, and wasn't this very interesting?
Of course, what was more important was that he wanted to go and fight those cursed spirits, and obtain points, and the stronger they were, the more points they would naturally give, and this Special Grade cursed spirit, who was named 『Mother River』, sounded very strong!
An undying Special Grade hypothetical cursed spirit, and he could only be sealed, and wasn't this Two-Faced Specter?
But he was just more terrifying than him, and if he remembered correctly, it seemed that 890,000 people had been drowned by the Yellow River during the Republican era, and this had become a supernatural phenomenon, which was what the Special Grade cursed spirit was, and the curse that it had caused was naturally self-evident.
Zhang Hao continued:
"The third is 『Death God』, and he was born in the Qin Dynasty, and he was conceived when Bai Qi, who had slaughtered millions, committed suicide, but he was also restricted to within a few dozen kilometers of his tomb, and the address is in Xianyang, and although the harm isn't great, as long as you don't get close, all of the jujutsu sorcerers who have been sent in since ancient times have ended in death, and no one has been able to come out alive;
The fourth is 『Night Parade of One Hundred Demons』, and he was born eight years ago, and it was because a large number of horror movies had flowed into the country, and it had caused the people who had watched them to have an instinctive fear of the darkness, and it had conceived a Special Grade hypothetical cursed spirit. As soon as he had been born, he had unfolded a domain that was 300 meters in radius that could be entered at will, and after consuming tens of thousands of people, he had become the king of the hill, and although people had been sent to exorcise him from the start, they had all been killed, and the world inside the domain was like a ghost market in a movie, and you would find that it was difficult to come out after you had gone in, but because the cursed spirits inside hadn't come out, and the domain hadn't shown any signs of expanding, it still exists to this day, and the scar on my left face was caused by that Special Grade cursed spirit, and the location is in Putian, which is near Taiwan;
And the Special Grade sorcerer Lu Xiaoyao's technique is 『Commanding Spirits and Dispatching Generals』, and you know what this means, right?"
Yuuki's pupils contracted slightly, and he had roughly guessed Lu Xiaoyao's movements.
"It looks like you know a lot about Chinese history, and I don't need to give too much of an introduction to his technique, and you can just search it up online yourself."
Zhang Hao closed the book in his hand, and said, "It's said that people's hearts desire to be higher than the heavens, and that Special Grade sorcerer Lu Xiaoyao is like this, and he wants to be free and unfettered by all things, but reality can't allow him to be like this, and no matter how people live, they can't obtain true freedom, and they'll be managed if they violate some bottom lines, and it's been like this since they were young, and it's the same when they grow up.
The so-called Special Grade sorcerer, in China, isn't just a symbol of strength, but it's also a symbol of freedom, because he has escaped the restraints of the so-called jujutsu world, but he has also entered a greater restraint, which is called the restraint of the people, and once they start to kill their compatriots for no reason, then they will be besieged by the entire China, because they have already lost their humanity, and they have also lost their qualifications to be people."
"..."
Zhang Hao's words were like a knock on himself, and it caused Yuuki's pupils to contract involuntarily, and he was warning himself to not go too far, and to stay in his own circle with peace of mind, because once he jumped out of the circle, then the desires in his heart would never be satisfied;
A circle that was called freedom…
"Thank you for the reminder, and I'll always pay attention to my bottom line, and thank you very much for the information that you've given me, and I'll stay for one night, and I'll leave tomorrow."
"Mm."
Seeing Yuuki turn around and leave, Zhang Hao opened the book on the table, which was called [Chinese Cursed Spirit Record], and continued to add, "Lu Xiaoyao is a good friend of mine from when I was young, and although I haven't seen him in many years, remember to say my name when you're about to die, and he should let you go, and if you live, then quickly return to your country, and if you die, then be buried in China."
"Mm, thank you for your kindness."
Yuuki's figure, which had wanted to leave, paused, and nodded at him and then opened the door and left, and he also bumped into Zhang Nian, who was eavesdropping, but Yuuki had already known about this, and he just looked at Zhang Nian, who was squatting in the corner and thought that she had successfully hidden herself, and turned around and left.
'He can't see me, he can't see me!'
Zhang Nian shouted loudly in her heart as she squatted in the corner, and she didn't want to be entangled by this demon, but she was also somewhat looking forward to it. She also wanted to go out and exorcise cursed spirits, instead of staying at home, but her brother and the others weren't willing to take her, and Sister Ya wasn't a combat personnel either, and she didn't dare to touch that thing alone, and she had to find someone who was familiar with cursed spirits to travel with, and Yuuki, who had come from Japan, seemed to be the best candidate, and maybe he would agree to take her out tomorrow if she went to beg him.
After a moment, Zhang Nian was stunned after realizing that she hadn't been discovered, and turned her head and looked at the empty corridor, and where was Yuuki's figure…
It was similar to Geto Suguru's 『Cursed Spirit Manipulation』 huh… Yuuki, who was walking downstairs, thought;
A person who yearned for freedom had to possess the strength to break through restraints, then Lu Xiaoyao, who was holding the 『Special Grade Cursed Tool』 · 『Spear of Heaven』, would definitely go to one of these four places.
He recalled what Zhao Yang had said jokingly this afternoon, and they were hunting Special Grade cursed spirits on Mount Everest.
Yuuki then set his target on Mount Everest, and there was no other reason, and he felt that the thing that had killed the fewest people in these four forbidden places, and he would instinctively feel that it was also a lot weaker compared to the other three;
One was the 『Mother River』, which had drowned millions and could only be sealed; one was the 『God of Slaughter · Bai Qi』, who had slaughtered millions during his lifetime; one was the 『Night Parade of One Hundred Demons』, who had unfolded a domain that was 300 meters in radius as soon as he had been born, and had devoured tens of thousands of people, and had become the king of the hill; and this thing had naturally become the weakest of the three.
After all, you had to pinch the persimmons that were soft, and the cursed energy storage in his forehead was limited, and not to mention whether he could beat those three strongest ones, he didn't even dare to touch this 『Mother River』, and he was afraid that he would accidentally drown hundreds of thousands of people…
Calculating it like this, he could only touch Mount Everest, Xianyang, and Putian, and he would sleep well today, and he would start to set off tomorrow.
"The room has been cleaned up for you, and you'll stay here."
Lu Ya turned her head and looked at Yuuki, who was carrying two bags on his body.
"Mm, thank you."
Yuuki thanked her and also entered his room, and the door closed gently, and he took off the sling bag and backpack, and put them on the ground; then he lay on the bed, and turned off the lights, and quietly entered dreamland, and Yuuki didn't pay any attention to the sudden sound of knocking on the door, and he just pretended to be fast asleep.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
