Curse back: Gender-swapped cosplayers always meet the real person

Chapter 444 Keeping an Appointment

Note: This chapter is two chapters in one.

Apologies: I didn't check carefully just now and missed some content. I have added it back now.

Before taking the train to Kyoto, I decided to go to a pet store and buy a carry-on bag for my pet.

Large capacity, good-looking, backpack style, fully capable of accommodating two medium-sized small animals.

Of course, no matter what standard is used to judge, the cat and the summer oil fox are both super large in their respective categories.

After stuffing it in, your limbs cannot be stretched out, and even your face may have to be stuck together.

I think they would like to stick to it.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t like it, because I’m not the one being squeezed anyway.

The clerk was overjoyed when he saw me buy the most expensive model in the store without hesitation, and he even enthusiastically gave me some imported cat and dog food as a gift.

emmm...cat food is understandable, but what about dog food?

Is it because foxes are also canines? But Geto Suguru is indeed quite dog-like.

Anyway, with a cheerful "Come back next time" slogan, I walked out of the store with a lot of pet supplies.

The waiting time on the train schedule was almost spent choosing pet toys, and at 8:05, I finally managed to get a first-class seat purchased with Gojo Satoru's card.

At this time of year, there weren't many people on the train.

Because I thought I might meet Shen'er again, I didn't book a private room, but just put down a tent next to me to block out the sight and sound. (Shen'er is bound by heaven and curse, so this won't work on him)

In this way, a simple interrogation room that can be used as a base for me to interrogate people was created.

"Listen." I carried Gojo Satoru and Geto Xiayou to the table, crossed my arms and said to them face to face, "I have no intention of attacking you, nor do I want to force you."

"So, regarding the matter of the duel letter, it would be great if you could be sensible and tell them yourself."

"Decisive Battle Book?" When Xia Youjie heard these three words, he turned his head and looked at Gojo Satoru. The latter did not show any movement, and then said with understanding, "It should be Naoko who told you."

"So what?" I pursed my lips and said, "You guys won't tell me."

“Meow.” In response to my words, Gojo Satoru just blinked his eyes innocently, trying to get away with it by saying, “I’m just a cute little cat. I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

But, I ignored it unshakably.

After rubbing his ears vigorously twice, I grabbed Gojo Satoru's cat face coldly and said without any joking: "From now on, you can all talk, so don't play dead."

From the time he was locked up in the prison until now, the anger in his heart has been accumulating, just like the endless weeds that are pressed under heavy rocks but still keep pushing out and growing wildly.

As I said before, I am extremely bad at facing conflicts, let alone resolving them.

Conflict often means quarrels. Quarrels are fierce confrontations, with harsh words piercing each other's hearts, digging up old grudges, a sudden chill in the atmosphere, awkward pauses and gaps, and in the end it may even turn into a cold war.

Just like the last time I had an argument with Gojo Satoru.

This is the result of what I tried my best to avoid.

However, before leaving, Glass's words forced me to face the facts.

"I think you need to sit down and have a good discussion." She glanced sharply at Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, and said pointedly, "If you don't resolve the conflict, it will only get bigger."

"If they keep burying their heads in the sand like ostriches, they may do something even more outrageous in the future. So, Lily, you should just do it yourself."

This is the truth.

For a long time, because I was afraid of the breakup of the relationship I was maintaining, I always tried to avoid many things. If I couldn't avoid them, I would just make a fuss about it without any results.

It was not until the Yumenjiang incident occurred that I finally realized that their behavior had become increasingly outrageous.

Staring at the time on my phone, I said to Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, "From now until the train arrives, there are still three hours left."

"Let's talk about what you're thinking about," I said.

"You put people in the prison gate without any reason, just in the name of protecting me. Do you think this behavior is acceptable?" I said, "Who do you think I am?"

"A pet you keep, a poor creature who doesn't need freedom, or a puppet whose will must be subservient to you?!"

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

If we say that all the behaviors before the fourth round, such as tracking, proposing a deal to Shen Er to buy my information, and even extracting information from me in person, can be explained as the instability caused by the lack of control.

what about now?

They have recalled everything and know what kind of person I am. They also know that I regard them as important partners equally. How self-righteous must I be to do such a thing.

Even if they wanted to ensure my safety, they had a hundred better ways to communicate with me, but they chose this one!

"That's why I did this because my memories have merged." After a moment's silence, Gojo Satoru gave this answer.

"what?"

"Lily, you actually know the reason, don't you?"

I clenched my fists, veins popping out on my wrists: "I. Don't. Know!"

"Not only do I not know, I can't understand it at all!"

Gojo Satoru withdrew his gaze.

Before I knew it in my anger, he and Geto Suguru had both turned back into their original human forms and were sitting opposite me. Their long legs could only be staggered on both sides of my seat in the narrow space, giving me a looming feeling of oppression.

The moment I subconsciously pulled my legs back, Gojo Satoru pressed my knees with his palms.

I opened my eyes wide.

"It's because you love to avoid and hide. You don't explain many things to us. You always carry everything on your own. When I tell you to step back, you rush forward on your own."

This time, Gojo Satoru finally stopped making jokes and said in a calm, restrained but unignorable tone, "Actually, we are not the ones who avoid communication. On the contrary, you are the one."

"Have you ever thought of relying on me and Jie... no, anyone including Fushiguro Shier?" He said, "No, you didn't."

"No..." I opened my mouth, "I really do rely on you."

"Really?" Gojo Satoru curled his lips and smiled, saying, "Isn't it true that in your heart, you are a dispensable person, a consumable that can be abandoned at any time. As long as everyone can live happily, it doesn't matter even if you die."

"Look into my eyes." He pulled down the blindfold and said seriously, "Tell me, isn't it so?"

"I've told you more than once, I'll be very angry if you treat me as a tool."

"But you don't seem to have listened to me once." Gojo Satoru blinked and continued to speak quickly and coldly, "Actually, I'm tired of repeating this to you over and over again."

"You won't listen anyway," he said, "so why not just take action? Compared to letting you die over and over again, I think any other outcome is less unacceptable."

"Why do you think I would die so easily?"

"You almost died."

"But I survived every time!" I slammed the table, stood up angrily, and shouted at him, "So why do you look down on me?"

"I'm not looking down on you." Gojo Satoru paused for a moment and continued, "It's just that you don't really want to live."

"........."

"Jie." I took a step back, put my feet on the seat, sat down with my back to the chair, and turned my head to look at him unconvinced, "Do you think so too?"

Xia Yujie was silent for a moment.

After a while, he sighed deeply and said to me, "Lily, you want to know about the letter of challenge, so I'll tell you now, okay?"

*

The time when Suzuki Yuri was away was the most chaotic period for everyone.

The memories that continuously flow out of my mind include details of past life, repeated events I have experienced, the direction changed by the butterfly effect, conversations I had with someone, things I did in the past, things I want to do in the future, changes in people, things, and objects around me. The impact of these things cannot be summarized in a few words.

Haibara was killed twice, and the earth god devoured half of his body.

Nanami needs to witness the demise of a close friend more than once and find herself powerless to do anything about it.

Many people came and went on Nitro's dissecting table.

Gojo Satoru's six eyes can capture information beyond that of ordinary people. Once he opens a field, he can instill enough information into other people's brains to cause disability or death. However, this does not mean that his brain can fully bear the impact of all the memories.

Xia Youjie often saw him unable to sleep and running around all over the place.

People say he is crazy, but his behavior of joking, making jokes and playing pranks on students is almost the same as before.

He is normal, but one night, when he was eating daifuku as if nothing had happened, he suddenly took out the Amenakaboko he got from Kei and suggested that Gokumon Kō could be reformed.

Geto Suguru could have chosen to refuse.

And for good reason.

She will get angry and lose her temper. In serious cases, she may even choose to break up with them.

After all, no matter how good-tempered a person is, there will always be a day when they explode. He doesn't think that she can remain indifferent to such a thing.

However, all of this must be based on one premise, that is - there will be a day when she comes back.

What's the point of doing this if people are dead.

The transformation within the prison gate is not so much a premeditated imprisonment as it is a pillar supporting a certain faint hope.

So, when faced with Gojo Satoru's invitation, Geto Suguru found that he agreed without even a second of hesitation.

Although the speed and efficiency of the birth of cursed spirits in the world is declining sharply as Kujuku Yuki conducts more in-depth research on the newly emerged "monsters" and "cursed spirits", this does not change the fact that they still have a lot to do.

In the remaining days, Geto Suguru's sleep time was constantly compressed - in order to launch a full-scale encirclement and hunt down the sorcerer named "Nozomi".

That man was killed 43 times, and each time he was killed almost as soon as the "suture line" on his forehead was exposed.

In someone's words, we will kill him until he dares not to come back to life.

Until a month ago.

I don't know whether it was because he was disgusted with being killed mechanically or because his fear of repeated death finally overwhelmed his desire for conspiracy and intrigue, but when he made his last appearance, he took out a letter of duel.

The location is Shinjuku, and the time is December 12th, Christmas Eve.

Before this, no matter how he was interrogated, Xusuo had never revealed any information, but this time, he spoke.

"Do you know why the progress of this world always ends on December 2018, 12?"

"Because of Suzuki Yuri." He pronounced her name clearly, with a disgusting smile on his face, as if he saw through everything.

Gojo Satoru's hand paused for a moment, and Geto Suguru turned his head calmly.

The snake of lies was in the noose's hand, and they all knew that what this person was saying now was not a lie.

"Because of her, this game of knocking down and starting over can no longer go on." Zuo Suo said, "There are only two outcomes facing this world."

"Integration or total destruction."

"Whether you believe it or not." Ignoring the dangerous looks from the two, Kosuo continued, "The fact is, as long as Suzuki Yuri dies and the world merges, all problems will be solved."

"Do you think I will believe your nonsense?" Xia Youjie summoned the curse spirit expressionlessly.

“Curse Spirit Control Technique, hahahaha…” Luosuo looked at the curse spirit that had severed his tendons. He tilted his head back and laughed hysterically, as if he didn’t feel any pain. “Thinking back then, I was also able to use the Curse Spirit Control Technique, hahahahaha!”

"If you don't believe me, just go and meet me on the day of the final battle." He said with a smile, "Let's see if you can turn the tide and change the final outcome."

"In the end, you will find that no matter what you do, it will be futile. She is bound to die. Hahahahahaha—"

Before he could finish this sentence, Gojo Satoru broke his neck and he was completely silent.

And no trace of him was found in more than a month.

"It has come to this, and you are still trying to sow discord." Gojo Satoru threw the body aside, took his hand back and said calmly, "Jie, you didn't believe it, did you?"

"No." Xia Youjie said, "How could I believe it?"

Even if he holds a lying snake in his hand, a man like this will never tell the truth about the information he has obtained, and playing word games is a piece of cake for someone with thousands of years of experience.

But it is undeniable that, combined with the information obtained in the past, it is not difficult to draw the more likely actual meaning behind what this person said -

Only when Suzuki Yuri dies can the world be integrated and all problems be solved.

Instead, Suzuki Yuri will complete the act of world fusion at the cost of her life and soul. At that time, all "problems" will indeed be solved.

Except that in this world, there will no longer be any problem with her.

However, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru decided to go to the appointment.
