Chapter 221 I'm Sorry, I Can't Take You Away
It's about 4:30 in the morning.
After crying, all my strength was gone. I could only lean exhaustedly on Geto Suguru, staring blankly at the sky in the distance.
It had rained and the night sky became clear again, but there were no stars or moon. It was just heavy and dark.
I blinked and listened in silence as Geto Suguru talked about the past two worlds.
"In the first memory," he said, "after you left, I used real people to restore all those more than a hundred cyborgs to their original appearance. After that, I stayed in the Panxing Cult and studied how to transform ordinary people into sorcerers."
"This summer, I successfully converted a person," he said. "I went to the restaurant we had been to before with Wu to celebrate."
That store...I remember it.
In fact, I just went there not long ago.
But it's just that things and people have changed.
"Speaking of this." Xia Youjie chuckled, "Satoru and I have been worried that you might forget about us after you go back."
I did forget it, but then I remembered it again.
"Hmm....For the second memory, the time span is longer."
It’s normal. After all, it’s been more than ten years.
"That group photo was very delicately drawn, and everyone liked it very much," he said. "Wu found a custom-made frame in the back, and we all framed it and hung it on the wall in the lounge."
Well, I've seen it, and it was hung up.
"The blueprint you sent me... was about that Fox Jie." He exhaled lightly and recalled, "When I went to see the boss again, I was told that there was a serious accident in his home."
"It is said that my wife was in a car accident and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment overnight."
"So Wu and I asked Naoko to rescue her."
It turns out...even the boss's wife didn't have to die?
"He was super grateful and put a lot of effort into making my keychain." He narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a pity that I can't bring it here for you to see."
I:".........."
"Then it was always on my phone," he said. "Then I was laughed at by my students, who said that Geto-sensei was even more narcissistic than Gojo-sensei, as he actually had his own figurines on his phone."
"Teacher Xia Yu." I coughed and asked, "Did Jie become a teacher later?"
"Yes." He replied, "Didn't we make an agreement at the beginning? If you can't figure out something, you can think about it slowly."
"So, I decided to stay in the technical college to teach, and think while teaching."
That's great...If Jay hadn't defected, he would have been a very good teacher.
"As for Wu, he wanted to change the corrupt world of sorcery." Xia Youjie sighed, "He wanted to cultivate fresh blood from the student generation. So both of them became teachers."
"Glass quit smoking three years ago," he said, "but he still loves drinking as always."
"As for Nanami, she actually went into the business world, but after a few years of ups and downs, she decided that it wasn't for her." He said, "She and Haibara stayed in the first grade as teachers again."
"........What happened next?"
"The road we want to take is not smooth," Xia Yujie said frankly, "and we have encountered many difficulties and obstacles along the way."
“But it does produce a group of outstanding young people.”
"Besides, isn't Fushiguro Shiori the head of the Zenin family?" he said, "We have been following the strategy we discussed with you, and we have made some progress. Together with the Gojo family, we have suppressed the Kamo family."
"The Zenin family and the high school have been cooperating for many years, and many talents have emerged." He said, "including Fushiguro Megumi, Zenin Maki, and Zenin Mai, all of whom are rising stars in the world of spells."
That's great... This is obviously a good ending, why do we have to start over again...
"By the way, Nazu Miki." I asked suddenly, "She is not cursed, right?"
"No." Xiayou Jie replied, "Tsumiki's academic performance has always been among the best, with a high deviation value. In the future, she said she wants to go to medical school to save lives."
"As expected of Tsu Miki." I smiled and said proudly, "She will definitely..."
Having said that, he suddenly stopped talking.
There is no future....Tsumiki is lying in the hospital now.
However, if Nozomi is killed, Tsumiki should be able to wake up...
"How are Mimiko and Nanako?" After a brief silence, I thought of the two sisters I had just met.
Xia Youjie also paused, and then continued: "What Mimiko and Nanako said..."
"Mimiko didn't choose to become a sorcerer. She attended a regular high school and stayed with Ms. Kama. But Nanako joined a technical high school and was in the same class as Maki."
At this point, Xia Youjie was a little distressed: "But these two children don't seem to get along well with each other. They quarrel."
"......What should we do then?"
"Don't worry too much." He said gently, "As soon as Wu came, the two of them immediately united as a united front, sharing the same hatred and the same enemy, as if they were wearing the same pants."
"That guy is always like this." Xia Youjie smiled nostalgically, "It's better not to open his mouth. Every time he makes them so angry, he still says innocently that he doesn't know why he is angry."
I:"........."
A very reasonable direction.
"Wu...did he blame me later?" I asked. "When I left, I didn't find him. Was he angry?"
"Is he angry with you?" He seemed amused. "Rather than being angry with you, I think he's blaming himself."
"After you left..." He opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but suddenly frowned, "After you left...he...we..."
.......Have you forgotten it to this extent?
I turned around, put my hand on his shoulder, and said in a trembling voice: "Jie, can't you remember?"
"........" He closed his eyes and recalled deeply. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and said, "I can't remember."
Well... I took a deep breath, still holding on to some hope, and asked him carefully, "So, did you just forget to come here, and the things that follow won't be lost again..."
He didn't answer, just looked at me quietly.
Sometimes, no answer is also an answer.
I completely lost the last bit of hope, lowered my head dejectedly, and didn't know where to look.
I'm tired. I'm really tired.
"Jay," I said absentmindedly, "Since you can't stay, why don't you take me with you."
"You came from the other side, right?" I slowly leaned back against him, raised my head, and said tiredly, "Then take me back to the other side as well."
At least, I can get a good night's sleep in that place...
"Lily." He reached out his hand, held a strand of white hair, put it against his cheek, and said softly, "I'm so happy to see you again."
"After you left, I...thought there would be no chance of us meeting again in this life."
"But, we can meet again today." Xia Youjie narrowed his eyes and smiled, his eyebrows curved, "I have been waiting for this moment for a long, long time."
"So..." he said, "I'm sorry I can't take you."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and let his head rest on my shoulder. Only slight breathing sounds were heard, as if he had fallen asleep.
But I know that he is not asleep, his memory is completely fading.
I hugged him tightly and shouted hoarsely: "Jie..."
Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes and dripped onto his five-striped robe.
The world suddenly became bright, and the sun slowly rose from the east on the horizon.
The moment dawn fell, Geto Suguru left.
