[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

As Huailiang let go of his hand, Xia Youjie was stunned for a second.

His eyes were red as he looked almost greedily at the face that seemed to be his unattainable nightmare.

The tall figure was like collapsing rocks, settling down bit by bit as the shoulder line collapsed.

Xia Yujie lowered his proud head, and his complicated monk's robe was stained with dirty dust, piling up like a gray wave in front of his knees.

"sorry."

“Please, forgive me…”

The long black hair brushed across his cheeks, but failed to hide the slight sound of the big tears falling to the ground.

Faced with such clumsy and helpless apologies, which only repeated "I'm sorry" over and over again, Huai Liang suddenly thought of the only cursed spirit who understood the structure of the soul, the real person.

It says that people's joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are all metabolic products of the soul.

Just like at this moment, Geto Suguru was kneeling in front of her in an extremely humble manner of kneeling down to apologize.

His soul was wailing.

Huailiang felt that his soul seemed to be pulled out of his stiff and heavy body.

Half frozen, he coldly watched the endless pain the other person was inflicted by him, which gnawed away at his body and made it tremble continuously.

The other half was boiling hot, and the complicated and lengthy past invaded her brain, as if even her heart was burning.

She stretched out her hand hesitantly, unsure whether she would push him to the ground or push him further away in the next second.

Say something even more vicious, and it would be best if you never appear in front of her again.

Or I will... pick him up and calm his fear and panic.

After a while, she let out a long sigh.

He bent down and knelt, then pulled the man up, grasped his bony spine, and pressed against his chest.

Big hot tears fell on her shoulders, she thought, just like that day many years ago.

"I, I thought you really didn't want me anymore."

Xia Youjie held the person tightly in his arms, grabbing the lost treasure tightly as if he were the last straw.

Her face was covered with tear stains, and she kept sobbing and expressing her grievances: "Wu...you still care about me, right?"

Xia Youjie thought about many possible reactions from the other party, but even in the most optimistic scenario, he did not expect that the other party would forgive him so easily.

It is neither a perfunctory attitude nor a pretentious silence.

Instead, after he had revealed everything in an attempt to gain her forgiveness and to let bygones be bygones, she actually gave him the order to gain her 'forgiveness'.

He didn't know where she came from, or what power allowed her to appear by his side again and again.

At least now he knew what she was going to do.

He had already made an unforgivable mistake, and even if she would never forgive him, he would be willing to be driven by her and do anything for her.

In the short dozen seconds after kneeling, he thought over all the "possibilities" several times.

He thought, if she no longer cared about his tears, then he had no weapons left.

Huai Liang did not respond. In fact, she didn't quite understand why she did such a thing.

Her palms were warm, her chest was burning, but in her eyes... there was a hint of haziness and helplessness.

My brain, which I have always been proud of, seems to be filled with paste.

My chaotic thoughts kept wandering, in the midst of chaos and disorder——

A pair of azure blue eyes filled with amusement suddenly occupied the center of her mind and stubbornly refused to dissipate.

After a few breaths, those fragile emotions finally disappeared: "Tell me, are you willing to do anything for me?"

Xia Yujie held his breath and then nodded vigorously.

He didn't even dare to ask for any additional conditions, and he whimpered with a thick sob in his nose: "I do."

"I'd do anything if you could just forgive me."

Huailiang smiled, with the corners of his bright red lips curled up: "Even if it costs you your life?"

Xia Youjie did not hesitate: "I do."

"Ah... don't make it sound like you're asking me to agree so easily."

Huai Liang complained in a low voice, then struggled and barely broke free from the other's tight hug.

After a pause, she looked quietly into those narrow eyes that were flushed.

The white fingertips slowly stroked his handsome face.

He brushed across the broad shoulder line, slid down along the strong arm, and once again interlocked his fingers with that slightly curled hand.

"Then set the bondage."

Xia Yujie nodded slightly, and soon, a bright but not dazzling golden halo shone from their connected palms.

An extremely mysterious feeling flashed through his mind, as if he and the person in front of him had established some kind of unbreakable connection.

He frowned slightly, trying to recall the feeling of the description of the 'contract' he had read in ancient books, as if it was different from the current situation.

Is it because he has never been bound by anything related to "life"?

Huailiang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the thing in her body was not affected by the invasion of Ryomen Sukuna's fingers.

It still worked.

However, Geto Xiayou's look turned into a shaky fear.

The death row inmate who was about to be executed was greeted with joy at being pardoned before going to the execution ground, and his eyes turned into anxiety: "Liang, you——"

Huai Liang tilted his head, followed the other person's line of sight, opened his hands, and strange black curse patterns appeared on the backs of his originally flawless white hands.

She touched her neck, thinking that the black lines had spread there.

"It seems that time is running out. So, Jie, are you willing to help me find the last finger and take back the blood seal that belongs to me from the noose?"

A huge panic came over him, Xia Youjie's lips trembled, and his face turned pale: "How could it be, why did it happen--"

The voice was hoarse and full of disbelief, "Are you... going to die?"

Huailiang lowered his eyes: "No, since you have all the memories, you should know that even if I die, I will be resurrected again, right?"

When she looked up again, there was a smile on her face.

It was not a sarcastic sneer, nor was it a fake smile. If I had to ask Geto Suguru to describe it, it was her most genuine smile that came from the heart.

The last line of his voice was drawn out lazily as always, "Most importantly, I want the origin of Tianyuan's barrier that is in your body right now."

The heavy stone in his heart slowly fell to the ground, and Xia Youjie finally understood why the other party said "I want your life"... It turned out to be for this.

"I have completely absorbed the source of his barrier. My existence... is the source of the barrier. If you want, I can do it now—"

"Need not."

Huai Liang interrupted the other party and said, "It's not time yet. Now, let's find the noose first."
