Chapter 71 Cruel
Chapter 71 Cruel
Yi Gu Youtai was too shocked to speak.
To be honest, after hearing this story, his first reaction was that Tsubaki was just confused by the extra memory in his head.That memory should belong to Qihualuo, not his own.
But after calming down a little bit, he felt that Saji Tsubaki was not someone who would confuse his own memory with that of others.Since he said categorically that Zashiki Warji is himself, there must be some evidence.
He is willing to believe that Saji Tsubaki was once a curse spirit, and he is willing to believe that he wants to continue to be a human being.
After a long time, he stumbled and said, "Why, why did you tell me?"
Even if things are true as Tsubaki said, his soul is the former curse spirit, but no one will see his flaws, and his appearance is indeed a flawless human being.
Why take the initiative to expose?
Hearing his doubts, Tsubaki first put his index finger in front of his mouth, and whispered "Shhh": "It's too loud."
Qi Hualuo fell asleep crying in his arms, and was snoring sweetly while leaning on his shoulder.
Yi Gu: "..." Seriously, the curse spirit absolutely does not need to sleep, Qihualuo is pretending to be asleep, are you afraid of waking her up?
This interaction made Yi Gu more certain that Chun was still the person he knew and hadn't changed.He lowered his volume speechlessly: "So why..."
"Well... because, there is one thing I want to ask you to help, and it must be you."
"……Eh?"
Halfway through the conversation between the two, the voice of the housekeeper came from not far away: "...Have you finally had enough of playing? Chun has already woken up."
"That cat demon? He didn't see anything wrong, and he couldn't help. Chun woke up by himself..."
Her volume was moderate, as if she was talking to someone.
Zuo Zhichun raised his head vigilantly, quickly silenced, he quickly fell back on the hospital bed, pretended to be weak, and mouthed to Yi Gu: I will talk about it later——
——It was too late and then it was too late, Wujo Satoru had already appeared in front of them.
Yigu Yuta shuddered all over, even with his strength, he couldn't sense Wujo teacher's approach in advance.
It's okay if it's normal, he has absolute trust in Gojo Satoru.But today, Saji Tsubaki was obviously guarding against the opponent.In the house outside, Niuzi is letting them in. Once Gojo Satoru approaches, she will pass on the signal.Saji Tsubaki, who received the signal, would immediately stop talking.
Therefore, Teacher Jiaru also knew that Chun's soul was a curse spirit.
It makes sense to think about it. As Chun's attending doctor, she must have a better understanding of his situation.Unlike himself, Chun had to take the initiative to inform him before he could understand.
As soon as Gojo Satoru came in, Saji Tsubaki fell down immediately...
Based on these conditions, he didn't want Gojo Satoru to know that he was once a curse spirit.Mr. Jiarui is on Tsubaki's side, and he is identified as an accomplice for unknown reasons, and Gojo Satoru is the "opposite" that they unite to hide.
...In just a short while, these thoughts flashed through Yi Gu's mind, and finally they were frozen into a sentence.
'Temporarily cooperate with Chunba'.
Suddenly changing from a human identity to a curse spirit, there must be many unspeakable secrets.Since Tsubaki decided not to tell Mr. Wutiao for the time being, he would help hide it for the time being.
After all, Tsubaki will not hurt them.
Yi Guyoutai pursed his lips, then turned around pretending to be natural, and said a little speechlessly: "Teacher Wutiao, it's too late, I've been chatting with Chun for a while."
Gojo Wu held Xia Youjie's curse spirit and seemed in a good mood: "Haha, Tsubaki is here anyway, so it's okay to come in later."
The poor little curse spirit has been sluggish, and I don't know how Xia Youjie, who shared his sight with it through the space, is feeling at this moment.
Gojo Satoru sat down very naturally: "So, what are you talking about?"
Yi Gu froze calmly, thinking to himself, they didn't collude with their lines, what should they say at this time?
Tsubaki looked calm, protecting his sister's little head on his shoulder, and covering her ears to prevent their conversation from waking her up.
He smiled and said to Gojo Satoru: "I chatted with Yi Gu about Qihualuo."
"..."
One sentence directly hit Wujo Wu's Achilles' heel.
While his elder brother was in a coma, he intentionally bullied his younger sister who was mentally as young as a child.Even Gojo Satoru was a little embarrassed to say it.
Feeling a little guilty, he avoided Tsubaki's sight: "Ah, that..."
His eyes rolled around twice under the blindfold, and he changed the subject on his own initiative: "...By the way, have you seen the cat, cat, and pig I brought back?"
Yi Gu Youtai secretly admired it, as expected of Chun, this move is so beautiful that it uses offense as defense.
This question didn't involve Tsubaki's secret, so he answered honestly: "Is that the curse spirit named 'Madara'? I didn't see it when I came here."
Zuo Zhitsubaki touched Qi Hualuo's hair, and replied very naturally: "I met, but he said he was worried about his contractor, so he left soon."
This is the confession that he discussed with Jiarui and Mr. Cat in advance: Mr. Cat failed to find any problems with Tsubaki Saji. After he woke up, the two parties said hello, and he left with the excuse of going back to protect Natsume up.
Gojo Satoru was still thankful that Saji Tsubaki didn't hold on to the fact that he beat up Kikara, so naturally he didn't notice anything wrong.
He also actively introduced Junpei who was brought back with Natsume to Saji Tsubaki.
"The number of first-year students has increased again. That's great. The high school has become more lively."
Tsubaki Tsubaki smiled slightly: "Ah, that's really a good thing, I'll go say hello when I feel better."
When he gets better, he will see if he can treat Natsume and those reformers.Thinking of this, Gojo Satoru restrained his smile, and asked very seriously: "How is your body?"
There was no need for Tsubaki to answer this question, and Kazuko who was standing aside directly said for him: "It's a surprise, it's much better than before."
Tsubaki Zuoji nodded: "I gained a lot of magic power in Qihualuo's birth enchantment, and the alienation between the soul and the body has improved a bit. Maybe I can go out with everyone in the future."
His expression was flawless, but Yi Gu seemed to realize something, secretly clenched his fists on his knees.
"Really! It's really good news."
Gojo Satoru has no doubts at all, he is not easy to deceive, but 100% trust in his companions.In his opinion, Jiarui Glass and Saji Tsubaki had no reason to deceive him with this matter, so he was very happy.
He flicked the body of the little curse spirit, and the strength of this finger was almost blown away by the other party: "Jie, did you hear that too?"
The curse spirit hummed weakly, but didn't know whether to answer or scold him.
……
Gojo Satoru, as the strongest in the magic world, is a well-deserved busy man.Although there are many times when he is lazy, but most of the time he is quite dedicated.
There is no way, if you don't work hard, more people will die, Gojo Satoru can't just watch this happen.
So he only sat for a while, and then left on his own initiative.
Jia Ruzi took away Xia Youjie's dying curse spirit on the grounds that 'Tsubaki can't touch the magic power for a long time': "Mr. Yigu, do you want to stay?"
She said this just to deal with Xia Youjie's gaze, and of course she didn't mean to drive Yi Gu away.Tsubaki Saji quickly replied, "I still want to hear what happened during their mission."
Jia Ruozi pretended to disapprove and sighed, telling him and Yi Gu: "Don't talk for too long, Chun just woke up and needs a quiet rest."
The two nodded obediently and watched her leave.
"..."
There were only the two of them left in the ward.
Maybe Lixiang and Qihualuo should also be counted.
The two sides were silent for a moment, and finally Saji Tsubaki spoke first: "Mr. Wujo..."
Yi Gu interrupted him in a rare way, he lowered his head: "It doesn't matter, I will help you hide it, as long as you don't become an enemy of everyone."
George Tsubaki smiled: "I will never be everyone's enemy."
"...I think so too."
Yi Gu wanted to pretend to smile easily, but found that he couldn't.I don't know if it's because getting along with Wujo Satoru just now consumed all his acting skills, and now he just wants to maintain a deadpan expression.
The two sides fell silent again.
This time it was Yi Gu who asked first: "Is your body really getting better?"
If he doesn't ask, he's done. When he asks, he gets to the root of the problem.Tsubaki Tsubaki was dumbfounded, and after a while he smiled wryly and said, "It's really sharp."
His reaction was almost a denial, and Yi Gu Youtai suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and he shouted almost uncontrollably: "Why do you lie about this kind of thing?!"
Now that your body is getting worse, hurry up and find a way to treat it!Why hide it?
Saji Tsubaki quickly put his index finger to his mouth: "Shh, shhh!"
He looked down at Qihualuo, and found that she had no tendency to wake up at all, so he was relieved.
Yi Gu Youtai looked at his appearance of not taking his body seriously, and all the pain in his heart turned into anger.But he still unconsciously lowered his voice: "What did Teacher Jiaru say? Does she also know about this?"
Saji Tsubaki gave him a helpless smile.
"...That's right, I asked a stupid question." Yi Guyou lowered his head unwillingly.
Since Jia Ruozi knew that Tsubaki's body was actually a curse spirit, it was impossible for her not to know his true condition.
Yi Gu bit his lips: "Is your physical problem related to the fact that you said that you are a curse spirit?"
Tsubaki Tsubaki nodded: "That's right, it's because my soul is a curse spirit and cannot be integrated with my body. So as time goes by, my body is destined to weaken."
In fact, his human body is like a good curse embryo, which allows him to naturally integrate into the environment of the magician, and strengthen himself by practicing spells.When the curse spirit inside the curse embryo grows to maturity, he will break away from the outer shell and return to the existence form of the curse spirit.
Strictly speaking, his death would not be the end of life.He just changed another form of existence, and even after returning to the curse spirit, his vitality will be even stronger.
But at that time, everything that belongs to 'Tsubaki Saji' will disappear, and that result is no different from death for the people that 'Tsubaki Saji' knows.
He lowered his eyes: "This is not a 'disease', so there is no such thing as a 'cure'."
Yi Gu Youtai took a few deep breaths, feeling dizzy for a moment.
He knew what kind of person Saji Tsubaki was, so he immediately understood the unfinished meaning of Saji Tsubaki's words.
He muttered to himself: "You just said you wanted to ask me for one thing. I thought you wanted me to help you find a way to treat yourself. Now it seems that you don't need it."
"...Sorry." Tsubaki Tsubaki lowered his eyes.
Although there have been speculations, but when he really confessed everything, Otoko Yuta still felt sad.
"Then what exactly do you want to do?"
Zuo Zhichun raised his head, looked at Yi Gu Youtai's depressed appearance, and said softly: "I don't have much time left. Before leaving everyone, I still want to do something for you."
Yi Gu's voice was hoarse: "Then why did you find me?"
Why did you just tell him to be a helper without telling Mr. Wutiao and Senior Xia You?
In terms of ability, he is not as good as those two; in terms of close relationship, he dare not say that he can surpass them as 'benefactors'.
He has experienced Hakoniwa, so he knows Saji Tsubaki.Zuo Zhitsubaki was grateful to Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie, just as he was grateful to him.
Why, he was the only one chosen to bear the pain of knowing the truth?
There are many emotions in Tsubaki's eyes, but there is no guilt.
He said softly: "Because, only You know too well..."
"...If my death can lead to a better future, then I will willingly accept this ending."
……
Yi Gu Youtai walks out in a daze, only to meet Jia Ruzi outside the door.
She was smoking a cigarette alone by the colonnade, looking at Yi Gu, she knew it at a glance: "He told you everything?"
"……Yes."
Yi Gu Youtai has no desire to chat, he is full of exhaustion at the moment, he just wants to find a quiet place where no one is around.
Jia Ruozi didn't stop him, but just looked at his back and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Tsubaki, it's cruel."
Yi Gu Youtai turned his back to her, and after a while, he answered in a low voice.
"……Yes."
Jia Ruozi chuckled, not knowing who he was laughing at: "Obviously he always talks about 'normal', but he turns out to be a complete lunatic."
"……yes."
She couldn't see Yi Gu's expression at this time, but she saw Li Xiang showing her figure, and hugged Yi Gu from behind in a panic.
"Youtai...don't cry."
