Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 297

The Zenin family's wishes are clear and firm, but being firm alone is of no use, and the Gojo family's position is equally firm.

With the support of Gojo Satoru and Kamiganichi, the Gojo family appeared to have a strong argument: After all, this was the decision of the child's parents, wasn't it? Even if the child had Zenin's surname, could Zenin Jiajie regard the child as his own "property" and do whatever he wanted with him?

At this point, it is useless for the Zenin family to say anything. We are now in a modern society. As the core pain point has said, this is a decision made by the child's parents. They are the real guardians in legal terms. The Zenin family does not have sufficient position to decide whether the child named Zenin Hui should stay or go.

If the Gojo family had not intervened, the Zenin family might have been able to find a way to slowly bring the child back, but now this idea is no longer feasible. Many people in the Zenin family know about that guy's character.

Anyone who has some understanding of him would not have the idea of ​​trying to get Chanyuan Hui back from Shen'er. Although many of them look down on Shen'er because he is not a magician, one thing they have to admit is that Shen'er is very strong in terms of magicians or fighting between humans.

When he was still in the Zen temple, Shen'er had beaten up many of his own people, leaving many "legends" in the Juliusu team.

It was impossible to force the Gojo family to hand over the child, and there was no way to communicate with them. Zenyuan really had no way to deal with it for the time being, and could only watch the 'Ten Shadows' that should have belonged to them go to the Gojo family.

Putting aside the various reactions of the Zenin family, the situation here in the Gojo family is much more harmonious. After all, they are the ones who appear to have "beneficiated" the most. After Xiaohui was settled in the Gojo family, his life was actually not much different from his original life.

After all, although he has awakened the technique, he is still young, and Ogata Yuzuki still has to take care of him, and he also needs a teacher to enlighten him about the knowledge of spells.

For the ignorant Hui, it was probably like moving. His mother and father were still around, and he had no friends of the same age as he had not yet started school. In addition, due to his personality, it seemed that Ogata Yuzuki was more affected than him.

But it is not surprising. Ogata Yuzuki is an ordinary person who knows nothing about sorcery. Now all her knowledge about the world of sorcery still feels somewhat unreal.

Especially since her own children seemed to have extraordinary abilities. Could it be that they could turn their shadows into two big dogs? She couldn't understand it, but it didn't stop her from supporting the decisions of her husband and her savior, Shen Yuanyi.

She is just a mother who sincerely hopes that her children will have peace and happiness in the future.

……

A year goes by in a blink of an eye.

Nothing special happened during this period. No one knew where the real people, including Nozomi and the others, hid and there was no news about them. However, Kujuku Yuki traveled all over the country and even abroad. The thing that stood out was his freedom.

The five-year-old Zenin Hui has started kindergarten. During the year that Shen Yuanyi has been his magic teacher, although the little guy does not understand what magic is, he at least knows that the two big dogs, one black and one white, that he often summons to play with cannot be seen by many people, and he cannot let them attack others at will.

To be honest, you don't have to worry too much about other aspects. First of all, no matter whether Hui is attending kindergarten now, or the middle school or high school before entering the Jujutsu High School, he must be selected by the Gojo family.

Secondly, even if a five-year-old child says something bizarre, people who hear it will probably just think it is the naive words of a child. Who would take it to heart except those who know the truth?

And one year after the end of this astral plasma incident, Shen Yuanyi will also usher in another important turning point in his destiny, which is the defection of Geto Suguru in the original time and space.

In the original destiny, Tenno Riko died at the hands of Shinji, and Gojo Satoru became the "strongest". However, because of an incident that happened afterwards, Geto Suguru took the opposite path from Gojo Satoru.

Shen Genichi had seen the full picture of that incident in the records of the General Headquarters, and also learned about it from Gojo Satoru. In short, Geto Suguru went to carry out an ordinary mission of exorcising a curse.

The mission location is a village. Unlike the bustling city, the people there live a simple life and have simpler thoughts, so simple that even the ugliness is displayed to the extreme.

The problem of the village was very simple, there was just a curse at work. Xia Youjie simply revealed his official identity and dealt with the two curses, and he was thanked by the villagers.

Then he found two children, two girls imprisoned in a wooden cage made by the villagers. Xia Youjie didn't even recognize what those two huddled together dirty creatures were at first.

After recognizing that they were two living children, Xia Youjie vaguely saw the body of Tenriko lying in the headquarters of the Panxing Sect. The blurred faces of the believers seemed to overlap with the villagers.

"Why……"

The situation of the two girls was not complicated. They had the talent for spellcasting and could see the existence of curses. When the curse really appeared in this remote village, they caused panic among the villagers.

On the one hand, people were indeed dying in mysterious circumstances. On this basis, two children were saying strange and terrifying words, claiming that they had seen "ghosts."

In order to reduce the fear in their hearts, the ignorant and foolish villagers, driven by collective fear, believed that the two girls were possessed by ghosts or even children of monsters. The girls, who had no family members left, were "tried" and eventually locked up in a wooden prison that no one dared to approach. They could only wait quietly for death until the arrival of Geto Suguru... No one knew what kind of ideological change Geto Suguru had experienced. Perhaps this was the last straw that broke the camel's back. In short, the final result of the matter was: Geto Suguru killed everyone in the village and defected to become a curse master.

Afterwards, he killed the high-ranking members of the Panxing Sect, usurped the sect and established himself as the new leader. He set the goal of "killing all non-magicians" in an attempt to force people whose lives were threatened to awaken their qualifications as sorcerers. Many cursers later gathered under him and formed a curse organization that could not be underestimated.

And then... everything happened as Kamigami Genichi knew personally. In the end, Geto Suguru started the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" and died at the hands of his former best friend Gojo Satoru. His body was occupied by a noose, which triggered all the stories that followed.

But things are different now.

Tennenriko was not dead and maintained frequent contact with them. The Panxing Sect had also been destroyed. And the most important thing was that Shenyuanyi had been paying attention to the establishment of concepts in this regard since he started teaching him.

The turning point of fate will also appear here.

"Teacher Genichi, is this mission difficult? Why did you ask to come along?"

Geto Suguru has great respect for Kamigata Genichi, not only in terms of strength, but also because of the latter's selfless teaching to the three of them. In the world of spells, inheritance and knowledge are very important.

Gojo Satoru, who was born as the one and only 'Son of God' of the Gojo family, naturally couldn't feel it, but Kagome Suguru was born in an ordinary family. Even though he had extremely strong talent, if he didn't have such an inheritance, he might not have even reached the threshold of the reversal technique until now.

Of course, he was also very curious about Shen Yuanyi's initiative to carry out this mission together. According to the description in the intelligence, the curse in this mission was not troublesome, so why was this...

However, Kamiganichi had no intention of telling Geto Suguru about all this in advance. According to his preparation, this incident would not only not cause Geto Suguru to become a curser, but would also allow him to contribute to his future plans.

Since he couldn't get anything out of him, Xia Youjie didn't care much about it. Their teacher was always mysterious, and because of his techniques, it was not difficult to understand.

"But, the technique... Could it be that Genichi-sensei 'saw' something?"

With a sudden idea in mind, the two set off, and after twists and turns on the road, they arrived at the remote village.

The villagers who had lived here for generations had never seen two people like this. The "city people" in their memories were not as good as these two, especially the one with white hair, who made them feel uneasy, as if this originally beautiful place with mountains and rivers was not worthy of them.

After revealing their real official identities, the villagers, led by the village chief, were still a little skeptical, but still chose to believe them. After all, in a village where even young people are unwilling to stay, what is there worth these two people plotting?

After trying to find out about the curse, as expected, no useful information was obtained from these frightened villagers. The nearly ten people who died had different causes of death, including drowning, sudden death, and suicide.

However, judging from the time when the curse appeared and the damage it caused, the cursed spirits here may have only reached the first-level threshold at most, otherwise the casualties would have been even greater.

Xia Youjie was also prepared for this, and immediately searched for traces of the curse at his own pace. He released several cursed spirits that specialized in this area, and they roamed around the village, looking for the place where the curse was the strongest.

It's not too difficult, including the process of exorcism after finding the cursed spirit. The reason why Geto Suguru came is mainly because there haven't been any special-grade curse incidents recently, so a special-grade sorcerer can't go out without a special-grade cursed spirit. It can be regarded as a "daily task".

The cursed spirit was killed in that abandoned house that looked like a ancestral hall. In order to confirm whether the curse was completely removed, Geto Suguru sent out scouts to do a final screening of the cursed spirits.

No trace of other cursed spirits was found, but Geto Suguru received unusual information from his own Shikigami.

"Sir, there..."

The village chief, who dared to come to the scene only after learning that the "ghost" in the village had been exorcised, saw Geto Xiayou walking towards the back of the ancestral hall in confusion, and a look of hesitation clearly appeared on his old face.

But it was too late for him to stop Geto Suguru. With rich mission experience, he certainly would not be influenced by the judgment of ordinary people who knew nothing about spells. When he went straight to the back of the dilapidated ancestral hall, he saw a simple but effective wooden cage.

"This is nothing, and it's not a curse..."

After hearing the footsteps of someone coming, the two unidentified objects huddled in the shadow of the wooden prison moved, and then Xia Yujie saw a pair of eyes.
