Chapter 19 Dream Back

　　"It's over."

　　When Xiaozi entered the house, he felt as if he had lost his parents. He told Yega Zhengdao what had just happened.

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao was silent for a moment, then said:

　　"I don't think Wu would do anything excessive. It's okay."

　　But Ieiri Nozomi doesn't think so.

　　The eldest young master does whatever he wants, so he must not irritate the sensitive younger brother.

　　Last time, Gojo got angry just because she accidentally called his name, but Gojo always thought it was a big deal to watch the fun and had to go up and provoke him.

　　Don't underestimate honest people... If you really piss off my junior, there's no way to end it...

　　Ieiri Shoko thought so.

　　However... being able to vent emotions is also a good way~~

　　Anyway, if she did something wrong, she would be the one to be scolded. But she stopped it. It has nothing to do with her.

　　Ieiri Nozomi went back humming a little tune.

　　The other side.

　　Ye Mo Zheng Dao hung up the phone, and the person on the other end asked:

　　"What's wrong? Is it Kei?"

　　"Well... he said he was just about to go to the library to look up some information. He's very diligent."

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao smiled faintly and said:

　　"Don't worry."

　　It was a huge room, with a glass case in the center, and a woman was locked inside. She had many tubes inserted into her body, and her face looked extremely pale.

　　However, after only a month here, many needles have appeared on her arms, there are seals under her feet to restrain her, only her face is exposed on her body, and her limbs are tied with talismans, making her unable to move.

　　"Really, let him not work so hard, and combine work and rest."

　　Although the woman's tone was complaining, she had a proud smile on her face.

　　"Thank you, Zhengdao. I'll trouble you to take care of my child."

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao pushed up his sunglasses, and the black lenses hid the emotions in his eyes.

　　However, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, his lips were straightened, and he said nothing.

　　"Hey, hey, hey, don't make that expression."

　　The woman laughed and said:

　　"You've always been like this, appearing fierce, but actually having a softer heart than anyone else. I used to love your hypocritical side the most~"

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao rubbed his eyes and couldn't help but chuckle:

　　"You're the same. Nothing has changed. You always like to play the emotional card."

　　The imprisoned woman laughed until she cried:

　　"Hahahaha, you found out~ But I was telling the truth~~ The right path~"

　　"……fraud."

　　Ye Mo Zheng Dao spoke softly, so softly that the woman could hardly hear it.

　　The two looked at each other through the thick glass cover, speechless for a moment.

　　Someone came to remind Noctua the right path:

　　"Visiting hours are about to begin, Mr. Noctua. Please hurry up."

　　The man whispered:

　　"Visits are not allowed. We have violated the regulations. Please go back as soon as possible."

　　Ye Mo Zhengdao looked at the woman in the distance without saying a word.

　　"Go back quickly, Zhengdao."

　　The woman said goodbye to him.

　　He thought that if the woman had her hands free, she would definitely wave at him happily. That's the kind of person she was.

　　Mingming is so timid. He was captured and locked up here. Mingming has been shaking with fear.

　　She clearly knew...what she would face in the future.

　　Is this the power that the identity of "mother" brings her?

　　Noctua walked out of the tunnel, and the sky was endless with blue sky and white clouds.

　　Even though he would soon become the principal of Jujutsu High School, he did not feel the slightest bit of joy in his heart, only helplessness.

　　His friend was locked up and he didn't even have a chance to save her.

　　Noctua walked straight to the flagstone floor, a place he had walked on countless times.

　　He also once wore a college uniform, with his good friends beside him. His friends left one by one, and his juniors went to the battlefield and never came back. He stood here, welcoming batches of new students, watching them grow from immaturity to maturity, just like he did back then.

　　Only he never left, watching those people go away from him.

　　"I'm going to have a baby, Zhengdao."

　　The girl turned her back to him and said, "I am still suited to an ordinary life. This place is not suitable for me. We will meet again in the future..."

　　That was their last communication in their youth. She left the world of spellcasting, lived in seclusion in the mortal world, and was never heard from again.

　　When they met again, the girl had grown into a woman, and her son was standing behind her. The two looked so similar that they were obviously a family with close blood ties.

　　As she said, during the years she disappeared, she did give birth to a child.

　　"teacher,"

　　Gojo Satoru suddenly appeared in front of him, his eyes behind his sunglasses fixed on him:

　　"Why was Kojima Kei's mother imprisoned?"

　　The phone on his body kept ringing, but he turned a deaf ear to it and just stared at Ye Moth Zhengdao.

　　Noctua righteousness pushes glasses:

　　"Why are you back? Where's Jay? Didn't I send you on a mission?"

　　He did not answer Gojo Satoru's question.

　　"Jie went ahead. I have something to take care of first. I'll be there soon."

　　Gojo Satoru paused for a moment: "Is it inconvenient to say?"

　　"This matter involves too many complicated issues, and I can't interfere. Just leave it alone. Don't tell Kei or anyone else. It's for the best for both of you. Wu, I'll pretend you haven't been here today. Leave now."

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao only said this.

　　Gojo Satoru looked at his teacher and didn't say anything for a long time.

　　This is the deepest darkness in the world of curse, and it is not suitable for them to face it now.

　　Adults always have a lot of worries.

　　"I see."

　　Gojo Satoru finally answered the phone. "Yes, Jay. I'll be right there."

　　After saying that, he disappeared.

　　The moth continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

　　A master of spells.

　　Xia Youjie was playing with the curse ball in his hand. He looked up when he heard footsteps approaching. "Are they coming?"

　　"Um."

　　Gojo Satoru responded.

　　"What happened?"

　　Xia Yujie immediately noticed that Gojo Satoru's expression was a little off, and immediately became serious: "Is it serious?"

　　"It's not a big deal."

　　There was a hint of sneer on Gojo Satoru's lips: "I just saw something I shouldn't have seen."

　　Geto Summer Oil: “?”

　　Geto Suguru wanted to continue asking, but Gojo Satoru remained silent.

　　He didn't ask again, and Wu would naturally tell him what he wanted to tell him.

　　"Let's go."

　　He retracted his gaze and stood up. "Let's go. Let's start early and finish early. We'll talk about it after we get back. At least, we are still students of Jujutsu High School."

　　The sun rises and sets.

　　The rewards for participating in the mission for Haibara Yu and Nanami Kento were distributed, and they immediately bought a gift for Kojima Kei.

　　Haibara Yu bought accessories for the scabbard, while Nanami Kento bought him a dagger for self-defense, saying that he could use it as a backup if his sword broke.

　　Haibara Xiong immediately made a "Pooh, Pooh, Pooh" sound beside him, saying it was unlucky and told him to spit it out quickly.

　　Nanami Kento had a blank expression:

　　"I'm just telling the truth. If you don't like it, you don't have to."

　　Kei Kojima was flattered and said quickly:

　　"I like it! Thank you! I love it!"

　　"Happy Birthday, Kei!"

　　Huiyuan Xiong laughed.

　　"Happy birthday, Kojima."

　　There was a faint smile on Nanami Kento's face.

　　Only then did Kei Kojima remember that today was his birthday.

　　His sixteenth birthday.

　　The day was so busy that I didn't think about it at all.

　　Kei Kojima went back and checked his phone, but found that there was no message from his mother.

　　This past month, my mother's work has become busy again, and it is often difficult for her to reply to messages for two or three days.

　　Kei Kojima was originally a little worried, so he made a video call and asked for leave from Masamichi Yega, wanting to go home and see his mother's condition with his own eyes.

　　But Ye Mo Zhengdao refused.

　　"I went to Tokyo two days ago and met your mother. She's fine... Don't worry."

　　This is what Masamichi Yaga said at the time, and he did not approve Kei Kojima's vacation.

　　Although such situations have happened before, Kei Kojima now sends messages to his mother every day to make sure she is in a safe place.

　　Kei Kojima held his cell phone, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.

　　"Mom, are you busy with work? Today is my birthday. The Haibara Yuu and Nanami Kento I told you about before bought me a birthday present."

　　He took a photo and sent it over.

　　When Kojima Kei came back from training in the evening, he got the reply:

　　"Happy birthday, Kyu! Sorry, Mom was so busy today! I forgot to message you right away. Go get along well with your friends. Mom loves you."

　　The mother attached a photo of herself at work.

　　When Kei Kojima saw the last sentence, he covered his phone with his hands, feeling a little helpless and shy.

　　This was the first time he had received such straightforward love from his mother.

　　He thought for a long time before replying:

　　"I love you too."

　　Three days later, the two seniors who had gone out to remove the cursed spirits came back.

　　At that time, Kei Kojima and Yuu Haihara and others were standing at the school gate.

　　Geto Xiayou lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and his face looked a little heavy.

　　Kei Kojima felt something and looked up at Geto Suguru, but his eyes met his.

　　When his eyes met hers, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

　　Geto Suguru's eyes were dark, completely different from the look he had every time he looked at him before.

　　It was obscure, with some strong emotions that were about to pull him into the abyss.

　　That look... Kei Kojima had seen it before.

　　Only once.

　　But after he saw Geto Suguru like this, he was killed immediately.

　　Kei Kojima's face turned pale instantly.

　　Geto Suguru quickly withdrew his gaze, so quickly that Kei Kojima almost felt that what had just happened was an illusion.

　　Not only Kei Kojima, but even Masamichi Yaga noticed that there was something wrong with Geto Suguru's mood.

　　"It's just a first-level curse spirit. It shouldn't be difficult for you two to act together."

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao frowned and said:

　　"What happened?"

　　Gojo Satoru glanced at Geto Suguru, who pursed his lips and said nothing:

　　"Well, it's a little tricky. It's a nightmare curse spirit that devours the dreams of many people. Jay and I were also dragged into it, and it took some effort to find its core. When I found Jay, he had fainted. He was mentally attacked by the curse spirit and suffered some trauma to his mind."

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao was surprised:

　　"Brain attack?"

　　This matter can be big or small. The head has always been the most important part of the human body. It has many central nervous systems. If it is injured by mistake, unpredictable dangers will occur.

　　"Well, don't worry, we just checked with Glass."

　　Gojo Satoru said.

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao tilted his head and looked at the silent Geto Suguru:

　　"Jay?"

　　Geto Xia Yu came back to his senses after hearing this:

　　"...Ah, I'm fine, don't worry, Mr. Yaga. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest. Satoru, can I let you write the report?"

　　"sure."

　　After receiving a positive answer, Geto Suguru said thank you and walked towards the dormitory. Gojo Satoru looked at his back in silence.

　　Huiyuan Xiong turned his head: "Huh? Kei, what's wrong with you?"

　　Only then did Kei Kojima realize that he was pulling his clothes so hard that they were almost torn.

　　This time, when Geto Suguru came back, he was obviously in a bad condition.

　　Kei Kojima had a strong intuition.

　　Deep down, a voice screamed at him to stay away.

　　The atmosphere given by Geto Suguru now has completely changed.

　　You must not be left alone or he will catch you.

　　Kei Kojima woke up again in the middle of the night, and his dreams were filled with those eyes.

　　He began to take the initiative to keep in touch with Haibara Yu, and every time he went out, he made sure not to be left alone.

　　He had a vague guess that perhaps the current Geto Suguru was the person who killed him in his previous life.

　　Haibara Yu was a little happy. He felt that after working so hard for so long, he finally got Kei Kojima closer to him.

　　I would send him messages every day asking where he was and wanting to train with him and hang out with him.

　　Nanami Kento was also forced to participate.

　　This guy is the most talented one in the first grade, but after completing the training arranged by the teacher, he just wants to lie in the dormitory and do nothing.

　　Now only Kei Kojima is willing to accompany him.

　　Haibara Xiong was very happy.

　　When he met Geto Suguru, Haibara Yu was very happy and talked to him for a long time. Senior Geto Suguru was as gentle as usual and answered all his questions in a warm voice.

　　"Habara is really hardworking. I can hear you calling Kei's name outside every day."

　　He smiled at Kei Kojima:

　　"——right, Kei."

　　Huiyuan Xiong choked.

　　Didn't we have a fight last time about names? Why did Senior Takeru still call me that?

　　Huiyuan Xiong said in a panic:

　　"Ah! Because it's too lonely for Kojima to train alone, I'll follow him. It won't be so lonely if we train together."

　　He glanced at Kei Kojima out of the corner of his eye, hoping that he would not be angry about this matter this time, but he saw that the guy's face was a little pale and he was pulling at his shirt.

　　"Why aren't you talking? Did I say something wrong?"

　　Geto Suguru walked over, looked directly into Kei Kojima's somewhat panicked eyes, and reached out his hand and placed it on his head.

　　But Kei Kojima didn't know how to resist.

　　She just looked up at the man with only one thought in her mind.

　　He knows!

　　He must have known!
