Chapter 142 Bondage
Chapter 142 Bondage
Shi Ning opened her eyes wide in surprise. She stood at the door of the infirmary a little dazed, and then looked at the new task in front of her thoughtfully.
This is getting weirder and weirder. Does this system mean that since there are more of them, the original mission has become relatively simpler for them? In order to maintain the relative difficulty, the mission is directly changed?
But does a system really have such good thinking ability? Or are all the instructions of the system issued by the people behind it?
Who controls the system? Will they ever be able to return home?
One question after another suddenly jumped out of Shi Ning's mind, occupying all his thoughts.
The most important thing is, from the moment Shi Ning realized that all the character cards of the Jujutsu World were sealed, to the moment he entered the Jujutsu World and developed disgust towards the high-level officials in the Jujutsu World and chose to plan to take action against the Jujutsu World, as well as the missions they received, which were all about destroying the Black Organization...all of this has traces, and there seems to be a hand behind him, pushing him and guiding him to the current situation.
Who is that person? Is his stance good or bad? What kind of changes will it bring to the status quo?
Shi Ning was walking towards the dormitory while thinking, and on the way he happened to meet Zenin Maki and Inujuki Satoru who had just returned from a mission.
There was blood on the two men's bodies, and it was obvious that they were seriously injured, which made Shi Ning frown.
Although Zenin Maki's level is assessed as a fourth-level sorcerer, her own strength far exceeds the fourth level and is basically at the level of a second-level sorcerer. With the presence of Inumaki Satoru, who is a quasi-first-level sorcerer, ordinary missions would not cause them to suffer such serious injuries.
"What happened? Why are you injured so badly?" Shi Ning stepped forward and supported her other side.
Zenin Maki held her waist, bright red blood dripping continuously. She took a breath with some difficulty for a moment and said, "Nothing. This time the mission is a first-level cursed spirit, and it was another mistake made by Window. You don't need to support me. Teacher Ieori is in front of us, we can just go there."
"Salmon." Inujuan Ji nodded to Shi Ning and took Zenin Maki into the school infirmary.
No, this was not just a simple error in judgment.
Shi Ning narrowed his eyes and his brain started working rapidly.
Windows are usually a special group of people discovered by high-level people among ordinary people. They are usually powerless and can easily become pawns of the high-level people. This is a very fatal point for the Tokyo Jutsu School, which is regarded as a thorn in the side by the Jutsu world.
Without a source of information, it means that we can only obey the orders of the higher-ups, so whether the mission rating is level one or level four depends on their mood.
The error rate of Kyoto High School's missions is ridiculously low, and many of their students survive to graduate safely.
As for whether Gojo Satoru realized this... he should have realized it, but as a special-class soldier, he had too many missions and he didn't have time to build his own force.
"What are you thinking about?" A young man with dark green hair appeared beside Shi Ning with a cold and slightly hoarse voice.
It's Mandrill.
"Thinking about what we should do next." Shi Ning said in an ambiguous tone.
"..." Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I was there when she was injured."
Shi Ning was stunned for a moment. She looked at the boy in surprise, and then followed his words and asked: "Why are you telling me this? Do you think I will blame you?"
The young man pursed his lips. He raised his eyes, and Shi Ning's figure was reflected in his bright golden eyes: "They are your friends, and I...didn't save her."
As if to emphasize something, he repeated: "I didn't save her."
"Yeah, you didn't save her." Shi Ning nodded with a smile. He didn't even sulk as Xiao had expected. It was as if he was comforting an uneasy child.
Xiao hated the feeling of being treated like a child, but he couldn't help but crave it. This contradictory thought made him feel a little overwhelmed.
"How much of your memory has been restored?" Shi Ning held Xiao's hand, and they walked under the shade of a tree.
"I've... fully recovered." The young man opened his mouth, his voice becoming a little more difficult.
Because he has restored all his memories, Xiao can better understand that this is his former self, cheerful, lively, and kind. She has a love for life that he does not have now.
Xiao sometimes doubts whether he is the same person he used to be.
"So, you are telling me that you expect to be scolded by me?" Shi Ning said thoughtfully.
When she was in school, she had a pretty good relationship with this girl, or rather, the girl had a good relationship with many people in the class. She was kind, brave, and fearless, and deserved all the good praises. She was a small tree planted in love, sprouted in beauty, and grew in kindness.
If it were her original self, she would save Zenin Maki, she would definitely save her, but now, he chose to be obsessed and watch from the side.
Although I didn't show any action, my heart was in agony. I felt guilty for not taking action despite having the ability to do so, I was shocked at why I was so indifferent, and also... sad for myself today.
These emotions almost overwhelmed Xiao's heart.
The small tree that grew up in love and kindness had not yet had the chance to grow into a towering tree that protects everyone, but it was bent by a snowstorm.
Xiao didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly.
Shi Ning smiled. She stretched out her hand and rubbed Xiao's hair. The soft hair passed through the girl's fingers: "Isn't this still our little sun?"
"Understand the preciousness of life, feel sorry for your actions, and face your mistakes bravely. So what if you are no longer passionate? You are still yourself, and you are still the classmate I recognize, love, and trust." There was a smile in the girl's pure black pupils, like a breeze blowing on her face, more gentle and affectionate than a spring day.
No. Xiao tilted his head slightly, allowing Shi Ning's hand to rub more smoothly.
The sun emits a warm and vigorous light, and the moon is known to the world because of the sun's afterglow. So, you are my sun, and I am your moon, reflecting your light all my life. Everyone will change, but you are my anchor and my destination.
"So don't worry, you are still you." Shi Ning took back his hand, "You, me, and my classmates are just sick now. When we get to school later, I will treat you one by one and make sure you all recover."
Shi Ning blinked, raised his hand and made a pinky gesture, indicating that it should be pulled up.
Xiao was silent for a few seconds, then decisively reached out and pulled Shi Ning up: "Let's make a pinky promise and stay together for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be a puppy!"
Under the swaying shadows of the trees, the hands that were linked together shook, making an unchanging promise.
As soon as Shi Ning finished speaking, Xiao felt an invisible link established between the two of them.
"How about it, are you relieved now?" Shi Ning smiled and took back his hand. Xiao's cheeks flushed slightly, he nodded randomly, and instantly turned into a gust of wind and disappeared on the spot.
[Xiao: The bond has been established, the mission is completed. ]
【■■: Good job. 】
