Chapter 431: Is it really imprisonment? ? ?
Note: This chapter is two chapters in one
"That's right, that day was not my birthday." My throat was so dry that I couldn't speak. My eyes returned to the light blue petals and I whispered, "Likewise, December 12th is not my birthday either."
Because I am neither Kagome Kiyoshi, Zenin Shinji, Gojo Kiri, or Itadori Yushin, I am just a passer-by from another world.
After saying that, Gojo Satoru did not continue speaking. He stopped and his eyes stayed on the side of my face that was turned away.
The atmosphere condensed in silence, slowly brewing an emotion that seemed unspeakable, elusive, heavy and strange.
"So..." I hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "What happened after I left that day? Did you guys go..."
There was no sound after that.
On the night when Xia Youjie regained his memory, he only briefly mentioned some past events. He didn't have time to tell many details. He didn't even mention that the next day was his birthday.
"Are you celebrating your birthday?" He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "No, Jie came back to the technical college to say goodbye to me, and then he returned to Panxing Sect the next day."
"He said that he had agreed with you to use the special cursed spirit called Zhenren to transform the bodies of ordinary people. That's why we haven't met for a long time."
Zhenren, and two other special-grade cursed spirits, were all left to Geto Suguru before I left.
Now that I think about it, before his birthday, I only gave out three cursed jades that were so disgusting that they tasted like vomit.
He wanted to transform an ordinary person's body and fulfill his promise to me, but what kind of mood was he in to subdue the cursed spirit and return to Panxing Sect again?
I knew nothing about any of this.
Gojo Satoru's tone was relaxed, but the meaning behind his words was very clear. He teased leisurely and with a hint of accusation, "What a cruel fellow."
It was more like it was directed at me than at Jay.
"But now you are together as teachers." I pursed my lips and said to comfort him, "This way, everyone is happy."
"Everyone, is, happy, and joyful." The pronunciation of these four words was very slow, as if they were a spell uttered with difficulty from some ancient chapter. He looked at me and asked suddenly, "......What about you?"
"What?" I was stunned.
This guy didn't seem to be in a good mood, so every time he took a step forward, I couldn't help but take a step back.
Until my back was against the cold wall, and there was only one meter between me and Gojo Satoru, he stared at me quietly, and then asked, "So, in that happy ending you mentioned, will you be included?"
He seemed to be waiting for a positive answer.
I felt a dull pain at the location of my index finger, and when I lowered my gaze, I saw that it was the fingernail pressing on the flesh, rubbing back and forth, leaving a red mark - I realized belatedly that, oh, this was because I was feeling guilty.
My heart was like a soap sunk in a water tank, becoming soft and swollen, with transparent bubbles floating up one after another. These fragile things were even more quickly broken by the rapidly surging guilt.
"Of course." I looked up at him, finding myself in his pale blue eyes, trying not to look like I was lying, and said seriously, "Didn't I tell you?"
"say what?"
"It's about the fusion of worlds." I explained to him, "It's -"
"When Fushiguro Shigeki was in Kyoto, he once encountered you on a business trip from another world. Based on this incident, you found out that the world we live in was once a complete world. As long as the final fusion is completed, the timeline can be pushed forward, and you and I can live on the same land."
Gojo Satoru took over my conversation, speaking slowly and clearly. He blinked his eyelashes and tilted his head to ask, "Is this the case?"
"Yes," I said, "so I must be part of the happy ending."
"Really?" He smiled faintly, neither saying he believed it nor that he didn't believe it, but I felt that this was not the answer he wanted, and he was not very happy about it.
But I don't know what he wants.
“Satoru, I…”
I wanted to say something, but he stopped me with a finger, "Sh ...
Gojo Satoru grabbed my wrist briskly, opened the door and walked out of the room: "Okay, we've just been wandering around in the villa and haven't really appreciated the scenery outside. Let's go take a look now."
Entering from the front door and passing through the back door, there is a different scenery.
What I was stepping on was actually a beach.
Coconut trees, beaches, clear water and surging waves. If it weren't for the overly quiet space with only two people in it, I would have thought that I had been teleported to Hawaii by Gojo Satoru.
The fine and soft sand touches the sole of the shoe, making a fine friction sound, which is a very real touch.
Although I was mentally prepared, I have to admit that I was still shocked by this extent.
I took two steps forward, squatted down and reached out to feel the cool sea water. The salty and humid smell instantly hit me. I looked forward and couldn't help but let out a series of exclamations: "This is sea water, it's real sea."
"It's OK to have trees and flowers, bamboo forests, streams, ginkgo trees, cobblestone roads and such a big villa, but now there's even the sea."
"How are these made? It's incredible!" I turned around and asked him.
"Here." Gojo Satoru picked up a shell, tossed it in his hand, and said casually, "Do you still remember those weed fish that attacked you?"
The weeds and fish that attacked me...? I recalled and guessed that he should have said - "Hanayu and Togen?"
"Yes." He threw it forward, making several splashes on the water, nodded and said, "After you left, the special cursed spirit that should have been exorcised appeared again."
"I thought that after I killed them, this situation might happen again... I just happened to have the Prison Gate Border, so I put them to good use."
Me: “…” Zuosuo did say that these special-grade cursed spirits can be reborn continuously under the control of the gods.
However, what no one could have expected was that most of the scenery here was actually contributed by them.
"Wait." I thought of the doubts that had just come to my mind, and asked hurriedly, "Didn't our last experiment prove that the prison gate is also useful for cursed spirits? It can only accommodate one person at a time, so why can we all stay here well? Also, what is the purpose of going to such great lengths to build this environment?"
"Emm..." Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes and gave an explanation as if he was thinking hard. "There are many specific details, so I won't go into details. In general, I made some modifications and eliminated many of the restrictions in the Prison Gate."
"As for why..." He smiled and replied, "It's not Lily-chan. You said last time that you woke up and saw scary skulls and dark scenes everywhere, and you felt depressed and uncomfortable."
“That must be changed.”
"........"
I opened my eyes wide, my heart sank a little, and subconsciously took two steps back, distanced myself from him, and glanced at him with a slight scrutiny.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this reaction, Gojo Satoru didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with what he said. He tilted his head and laughed in confusion, "Why are you hiding so far away?"
"Enlightenment." I swallowed and cautiously asked, "Are you making the prison gate like this to cater to my aesthetic taste?"
"Half of it, I guess."
"What about the other half?"
"The skull inside was so pitiful. It looked miserable to leave it in the prison gate, so we took it out and buried it."
"Ah... so that's how it is." I nodded in sudden realization and quickly glanced around. "Thank you for considering my viewing experience when you designed it. It's really pleasing to the eye."
"Is that so?" Gojo Satoru's blue eyes lit up when he was praised, and he said with great energy, "I think it's super beautiful, too."
"It is very beautiful—" I continued to look at him tentatively and asked, "So, you don't want to leave me here, do you?"
He didn't speak.
"I would like to remind you in advance that restricting personal freedom and illegal detention are criminal acts and are not allowed in modern society!"
"But, Lily-chan, the law doesn't work in the world of sorcery."
"You can't use magic in the prison gate. If we talk about physical skills, you may not be better than me in a fight!"
"Hey, you want to beat me up?" He said in surprise, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
"You are morally condemned for doing this!" I choked and jumped up angrily, shouting, "What the hell, what's wrong with your brain? This is imprisonment!"
As I said this, I recalled the unknown hobby of Gojo Satoru that was mentioned at the party where they played the game of passing the flower.
What Xia Yujie said seemed to be that he likes to read substitute literature?
"I say." I looked at him suspiciously and asked, "You haven't read some messed up books and damaged your brain, have you?"
"What book?"
"I was the one who came first, so why did you fall in love with another man?" I scratched my head and looked up to recall, "I think that's what it's called."
Although it is long, the name is so explosive that it left a deep impression on me.
"But if you really want to play, find someone else." I rushed over, grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard, "I'm very busy, and I have a lot of things to do. I don't have time to play this kind of furry little game with you now!"
From a distance, Gojo Satoru looked down at me, as if observing something. He asked, "Lily, what if I say this isn't a game?"
".......What?"
“Yeah, yeah.” He reached out and touched his hair, his tone as if he was going to queue up in the city center to buy the latest cake tomorrow morning. “If I really wanted to imprison you here, would you be afraid?”
Is it really imprisonment?
If he insisted on doing this, I would probably be more angry and furious like last time.
But to be honest, I don't feel any fear.
This is Gojo Satoru... I don't believe he would hurt me at all. So, during this period of time, what happened that prompted him to make such a decision?
After a two-second pause, I let go of his hand, turned around, hugged his arm, and glared at him unhappily: "Tell me, what happened during the months I was away? What exactly are you going to do? If you don't explain clearly, I'll never let you go!"
“Yeah.” Instead of explaining, Gojo Satoru smiled and looked away, saying in an ambiguous tone, “You trust me so much.”
"I feel a little guilty about it." He stroked his chest and said with an exaggerated expression, "Really, it hurts a lot here."
The anger that had just subsided was about to be aroused again. I directly hit the part he was covering with force and said loudly: "If you can't get over it, just tell me quickly, or let me out, you bastard, why are you putting on a show for me?"
Gojo Satoru let go of his hand and was about to speak when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly beeped.
He turned on the screen, and I hurried over. I saw that the sender was Suguru, so I knew it was from Geto Suguru - but Yumenjiang actually had a signal?
When there was no base station built on Mount Kilimanjaro, Yumenjiang already had internet access? !
My pupils trembled in a burst, and I stared blankly at the words on the screen:
Satoru, Youruhito has been settled down. You've almost finished talking to her. It's my turn now. :)
This one:) is very Xia Yujie.
"Hey, hey, Lily-chan." Gojo Satoru pressed the lock screen button, put away his phone, and said in a relaxed tone, "It just so happens that Jie really wants to talk to you, so let him explain it to you."
"The prison gate can only accommodate two people at most right now, so I'll leave first and you guys can have a good chat." As he said this, his figure began to disappear.
"Hey!" I tried to keep him by my side. I reached out to grab him and asked angrily, "After all this talk, why don't you let me out and let us talk outside?"
"Go out now? No, I refuse."
Before leaving, Gojo Satoru returned the phone he had left in Ijichi's hand after changing into school uniforms last time, and left a message: "You can go online at will, and you can contact anyone you want."
"Don't go, Gojo Satoru." I yelled, "Just try and let me go aaaaaa!"
This bastard really just patted his butt and ran away, leaving me with eyes burning with flames as I met Xia Youjie who had just appeared inside the prison gate with a cell phone in his hand.
"lily."
Geto Xia Yu paused for a moment, let down his half-tied bun, and his black hair fell completely in front of his chest.
He squinted his eyes and smiled at me, still looking gentle, but the words he said were not so pleasing.
"Do you like it here?" he said. "As a place to live, it's not a bad place to live."
