Chapter 214 Pendant
Chapter 214 Pendant
"Yeah, that's right." Gojo Satoru was the first to agree, nodding thoughtfully with his arms folded across his chest. "Besides, weren't you the one who spoke so confidently before? Why are you suddenly at a dead end now?" Suddenly thinking of something, he smirked, "Could it be that all the plain noodles you ate have gone into your head?"
"Then is there something sweet in your brain?" Geto Suguru, who could figure it out with a little guidance, quickly regained his composure and retorted as usual.
"No, my mind is full of my boyfriend!" Gojo Satoru said firmly as he hugged the man.
Xia Qi Qingyi: (╬ ̄皿 ̄) You’re a love-brained bastard!
"You can still fight back. It seems you have thought it through." Miyin raised his hand and patted the paw on his shoulder. After he let go, he lowered his head and whispered something to the big cat behind him.
The black cat that was originally lying on the ground slowly stood up and moved behind Geto Suguru. It opened its claws and pounced, and the whole cat lay on his back, successfully covering the tall boy who was sitting there.
"?!" This suddenness made the person's eyes widen. It was obvious that he did not expect to be treated like this.
"Since you look so haggard, you can hold Mia for a while." Miyin, who was carrying another white cat, smiled at him and said, "If you want to catch up on some sleep, you can go to the next room and sleep for a while."
"..." After being freed from the shackles, a sudden surge of fatigue overcame Geto Xia Yu, leaving him speechless... How could you even see this?!
But he was really tired, so he didn't refuse the kindness and took the ready-made large black heater to the lounge next door to catch up on his sleep.
After the people left, Gojo Satoru, who had originally looked very happy, suddenly lowered his head, rested his chin on the shoulder of the person next to him, and looked a little lonely.
"Even though I'm Jay's best friend, I didn't notice anything unusual about him..."
"There's been a lot more missions this summer. Aren't you often out on missions? The higher-ups separated you two to maximize efficiency. It's normal that you haven't noticed since you haven't seen each other much." Miyin patted his arm gently and consoled him. "Fortunately, it's not too late now."
"Hmm..." Gojo Satoru replied softly, moving closer and rubbing the other's neck.
After the big cat left, seeing Xiaoye sitting there, Miyin opened the box and released the little sea otter, and the two little blue guys soon started playing together.
Ah Qing, who had been drinking tea, put down his teacup and said calmly, "How about we let that young man come work with us for a while?"
"Eh? Is that okay?" After thinking about it, Miyin suddenly felt that this suggestion seemed feasible. "But just in case, I'd better report to Gui Deng."
Miyin took out her magic wand and waved it. Two leaves floated over from the potted plant in the corner, turned into paper and pen halfway and fell onto the table. She wrote a few words and was sent to hell.
Perhaps because the other party happened to be sitting at the table handling business, the reply this time was quick. A license with a special seal of Ghost Lantern appeared on the table along the same route, with a small skull pendant on it. Miyin put away the pendant and prepared to give it to Geto Suguru later, then picked up the license and handed it to Aqing.
"Okay, now that we have the permission, I'll have to trouble your young lady and the others to take good care of our Jie~"
The people next to him looked confused:?
"Well... you all know Ah Qing works for Hell, right? It's not good for Jie, a stranger, to appear in places related to Hell, so I asked the Assistant Officer of Hell for a permit, and this is the accompanying small certificate." Miyin swung the string on the skull pendant and explained, "Ah Qing's job is to travel with her mistress to various places to resolve human grievances. Perhaps letting Jie go and observe might give him some new ideas."
"But...won't this make things worse?" The little paper man Ina Yi sat on the table, looking thoughtful.
"No, Jie isn't the type to repeat the same mistakes." Miyin rested her chin on the table with one hand. "From the way he looked just now, it's clear that he's thought it through. He won't make the same mistake again. From now on, it's just a matter of letting him experience the two sides of human nature again. As for what he decides to do in the future... that's up to him~"
Silently eating coffee jelly, Qi Mu sighed and said, "What if he turns evil?"
"Don't worry, that day will never come." Miyin closed her eyes and smiled.
Judging from his deductions, the other party would only become more determined in his path. As for the dark path? It did exist, but it had already been crossed at the fork in the road.
……
When Geto Suguru woke up, the sky outside the window was already orange-red. The big cat that was beside him before he went to bed was nowhere to be seen. He was covered with a black blanket. Judging from the smell... it seemed to be Mia's fur?
He slept very deeply and dreamt of many bizarre things, but now after waking up he only had a vague impression of them and could not remember what they were specifically.
I was unconsciously pinching the blanket and daydreaming when I suddenly heard the door handle turning gently and a white cat's head popped in.
"I told you! He must be awake!"
"Then keep your voice down too!" A hand grabbed the white cat's shoulder and pulled it back, and then a small paper man came out.
"How do you feel now, Jay?"
"Thank you, I feel much better." The hustle and bustle at the door made him smile knowingly, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
He pinched the little paper figurine and sat down on the sofa next to him with Miyin, who had come in with him. He took out a small skull pendant from his pocket and handed it to her. "Jie, let Wu and I handle your part of the task. I've asked for a few days off for you to follow Ah Qing and observe her work."
"Eh?" Xia Yujie, who was suddenly assigned to a task, looked confused and took the things obediently. "Can I go?"
"We've got permission. Remember to bring this with you. They won't make things difficult for you." Miyin pointed at the small pendant and said, "You can think of this as a pass."
"Okay..." Geto Suguru held the pendant and did not refuse. Perhaps he should indeed leave the tedious task temporarily and go somewhere else.
Ah Qing, who was waiting at the door, opened it slightly and smiled at the person inside: "Do you need to prepare anything? Or do you want to follow me now, my friend?"
"Sorry, Aqing, I have a mission tomorrow that I'm more concerned about. Can it wait until the day after tomorrow?" Geto Xia Yu scratched his sleep-messy bun and asked a little embarrassedly.
"Of course, no problem. I'll pick you up from the Polytechnic College at nine the day after tomorrow." Ah Qing nodded at him. "Then, I'll take my leave today."
"Okay, thank you."
After bowing slightly to everyone, Ah Qing turned around and walked slowly downstairs.
"Aren't you coming in, Anan?" Miyin looked at the pink head leaning against the door and said teasingly, "Isn't this your gaming partner~"
Geto Suguru was originally invited to the group by Saiki because of the game. In their free time on weekdays, they would play games together online. In terms of friendship, they were actually not much worse than the few people in the high school.
"No need." Saiki's voice came, "Now that you're awake, I should go back."
After saying that, his figure disappeared from the spot, and he teleported back home.
"Actually, he is still quite worried about you, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until now." Seeing the person leave, Miyin turned around and betrayed the person.
"Yeah, I know." Xia Yujie smiled, "I'll buy some coffee jelly and send it over someday."
"Jie! You're going too far!" With no one around, Gojo Satoru rushed in from outside and threw himself directly at the head of the bed. "We're close friends, right? How could you not even tell me about your troubles?"
"You have a family now, and you have so many tasks... Maybe it's because you have more time alone, so you start to have random thoughts. You won't do that in the future." He has so many friends, so it shouldn't be his turn to have worries.
"Who do you think I am?" Miyin laughed and said, "Jie, you are our mutual friend and a very important person."
"Are you starting to denounce me?" Xia Yujie narrowed his eyes and returned to his usual foxy appearance. "Alright, I already know. Let me go, Lord Yayin."
He looked at him intently for a while, and the other party didn't hesitate and just let him look. After making sure that everything was really fine, Miyin handed over the little paper man.
"Then please take Ayi back home~"
