Humanoid self-propelled wishing machine

Chapter 40

"In the end, why do you care about your past beliefs and past efforts? Now that you have denied your past self, doesn't that mean it was wrong?"

"Just like a butterfly doesn't care about the old cocoon shed, a snake doesn't care about the body it discarded, no bird wants to go back to the eggshell it pecked open, everything is denying the past self , Negating those who are moving forward among the old things that have been abandoned." Shuji Tsushima said.

He put down the small spoon with a "crack, thud", picked up the sugar cube jar on the table and opened it, concentrated on stacking white square crystals into the coffee cup, carefully preventing the liquid from overflowing the white porcelain. the edge of the cup.

"I'm just not sure if the path I want to take now is the right path. If I change my mind halfway and look back, I feel that everything I have done is just pale and futile..."

"If you want to do it, do it right away, if you're tired of it, just give up halfway, it's no big deal."

Shuji Tsushima said, "Because you are strong, aren't you?"

"Unlike weak people like me, strong people have the right to act recklessly. They don't need trembling prudence, exhaustive planning, and long waiting... Ah, speaking of it this way, it's really exciting People are envious."

"On this point, Gojo Satoru has done much better than you."

"Enlightenment?" Xia Youjie was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, "Comparing Wuwu to me is meaningless, he was born in one of the three imperial families in the world of conjuration, and conjurers are his natural talents that he can never shake. position." Mentioning his close friend, his eyes naturally showed soft emotions, "Although Enlightenment always says that he hates theories, in fact he is the one who is least likely to stand up to the magician. People who go against it will only try their best to change the entire corrupt environment, even if it is much more difficult.”

"But I'm different." He said, carefully dissecting himself, "I was born in a very ordinary town, my parents, classmates, neighbors, and the people around me were all ordinary people, before I was discovered by [window] people , I've never even seen a conjurer."

"I knew it when I was very young. Everyone around me is different from me and cannot see the curse spirit. With such a special ability, I must take the responsibility of getting rid of the curse spirit and protecting everyone. People will understand what I'm doing and just think I'm doing something weird."

"Frankly speaking, I might be a little lonely, so when I know that there is a group of magicians in this world, I feel such strong joy in my heart."

"Here are my mentors, my best friends, my juniors and my ideals."

Xia Youjie's expression was one of sadness and softness. These are the things he wants to cherish. Even if he will eventually have to take a path that runs counter to them, he never wants to be like Shuji Tsushima said. These precious people and fate were thrown away.

Shuji Tsushima understood what Xia Youjie had said.

He just chose to protect the conjurer between protecting the non-magician and the conjurer.

"After all, haven't you already made a decision?" Shuji Tsushima began to stir the coffee filled with sugar cubes again, and strands of syrup melted into the coffee viscously. Makes a toothache.

His movements this time were a bit rough, unlike the light movements that he had never even touched the cup wall before. The hard sugar cubes collided in the cup, making a ping-pong-pong noise.

"You're right." Xia Youjie closed his eyes, "All I need to do now is to make a better and more reasonable plan to realize my ideal."

Gradually, a firm light shone from his dark, narrow eyes.

"Huh?" Shuji Tsushima became a little interested, "Then what were you planning to do?"

"Ah, that..." Xia Youjie scratched his cheeks, and said with some embarrassment, "I want to kill all the non-magic masters so as to stop the birth of the curse spirit."

"Wow, it's terrible, if you decide to do this, wouldn't I be the first victim!"

Shuji Tsushima said so, and hugged himself pretending to be afraid, but the expression on his face was completely different. He seemed to have lost his desire to explore all of a sudden, and said without interest, "It sounds There is no possibility of realization, just like the villain’s speech in the hot-blooded comics, which will definitely be stopped by the sanction of righteous people in the end.”

"I thought you could come up with some more original plans."

"Then do you have any suggestions?" Xia Youjie's attitude was quite modest, and he did not underestimate Shuji Tsushima at all because of his age.

"Me?" Shuji Tsushima looked up at Xia Youjie, and said casually, "I will kill all the magicians."

Perhaps because of Shuji Tsushima's performance of being so wise and close to monsters, Xia Youjie really believed Shuji Tsushima's words for a moment, and subconsciously showed a look of vigilance in his eyes.

Then he realized that Shuji Tsushima might just be joking.

The child, who gradually relaxed, lazily lay down on the table in the coffee shop, and poked the half-melted sugar cube in the coffee with a spoon, "As long as you kill all the magicians, the existence you want to protect will disappear , wouldn’t the tragedy and pain disappear together—well, just kidding.”

"But in this way, you should also understand that the contradiction you are trying to eliminate is absolutely impossible to eliminate, unless one side of the contradiction completely disappears, so that the contradiction itself no longer exists."

"What you can do is to minimize the damage caused by the contradiction as much as possible, and then reduce it again, so that the wounds caused by it on the body can heal faster."

Thinking that he would ask Xia Youjie for information in the future, Shuji Tsushima reluctantly cheered up and offered some practical suggestions to Xia Youjie, "First of all, you should start from the most basic." His As if this is not a big deal, "To become a high-level man in the magic world, let's subvert the whole system first."

"I'm not ignorant of the magic world. Your current system is to [window] observe the magic spirit and determine the level, then the high-level will issue tasks, and then the assistant supervisor will contact and distribute them to the magicians of the corresponding level. How about this?"

"That's right." Xia Youjie nodded and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"Of course there is a problem." Tsujima Shuji glanced at him with disgust, "The level formulated is not precise enough and sometimes even makes mistakes, and too much time is wasted on the road, and the tasks are all assigned to the assistant supervisor regardless of priority, and wait until When the conjurers arrived, everyone was cold, or there were too many conjurers who received the task, wasting combat power. There are obviously convenient magic tools that can be used to reduce the casualty rate of the conjurers, but the expensive ones are fatal. And the higher-ups didn’t give any subsidies…”

He counted on his fingers, "It's a system like a nightmare. It's really hard for you to live well in this situation until now."

For some reason, Xia Youjie always felt that he was being ridiculed.
