Chapter 411 It’s not your fault
Note: This chapter is two chapters in one
Ok.
Now I understand a little bit why Yijichi is so afraid of me.
Maybe it's because he spent too much time with Gojo Satoru, and the keen sense of smell he developed from living under that guy for a long time allowed him to accurately identify my true face?
By the way, it seems that he became particularly afraid of me starting from the third round. Could it be the buff left by Gojo Kiri?
Looking at it this way, it seems that we can’t blame him.
Because, judging from my performance just now, I seem... a little fierce.
"Ah, that, that..." I put my hands back into my pockets, looked up at the sky, and smiled awkwardly, trying to restore my image in their minds, "Actually, I'm not that violent usually..."
"Pa pa pa..." Loud clapping sounds came to my ears.
I turned around and saw that I didn't know who started it, but the four of them, including Yoshino Junpei who had just been beaten, had stood up straight and started clapping.
Yuji kept jumping in front of me, his eyes shining like stars. He looked up excitedly and shouted to me, "As expected of Sister Youxin, you beat them away in just two or three moves!"
The remaining few kids also surrounded me and spoke to me as if I were the leader.
"Amazing."
"So handsome!"
“The action is super cool.”
I:".........."
Eh? Eh? Eh?
This is quite different from what I expected. But it seems to be OK.
"Um..." Yoshino Junpei brushed away the scattered hair on his forehead and said carefully to me and Yuji, "Thank you for your help. My name is Yoshino Junpei, may I ask who you are..."
"Ah!" It was only at this time that Yuji remembered to introduce himself. He raised the corner of his mouth and introduced with full energy, "My name is Yuji Yuji, and this is my sister, her name is Yuji Yushin."
"Hello, Yoshino-kun." I nodded in a friendly manner.
"Hey, Junpei." At this moment, Nanako came over with her hands on her hips and asked him unhappily, "What's wrong with you?"
"Didn't you tell me to call me right away if they come looking for you again?"
"Ah..." He covered the wound on his face with some shame, lowered his head and explained, "My phone was kicked away by them."
"So, you should have called them the moment you saw them from a distance."
"But!" Yoshino Junpei raised his head, "I don't want to bother you all the time."
"It's too lame to rely on others to rescue you every time."
"How can this be called trouble?" Seeing that he was still arguing, Nanako raised her voice and glared at him, "It's just beating someone up. We don't have anything else to do anyway."
Yoshino Junpei: "......"
Although I don't know how Mimiko and Nanako knew Yoshino Junpei, but from watching them scolding for these two minutes, I can feel that their relationship seems to be... pretty good?
Yuji listened for about two minutes and suddenly remembered that he still had a task to complete. He turned around and looked in the direction of the infirmary: "Sister Youxin, I still have a cursed spirit that has not been exorcised!"
"Exorcism of cursed spirits?" Mimiko immediately realized what was going on when she heard this professional term. She frowned and asked, "Are you sorcerers?"
"Yes." Yuji nodded, then realized, "Wait, you are the wild sorcerers Mimiko Kaba and Nanako Kaba introduced in the information?"
"Yes." Mimiko pointed at Nanako and said, "I'm Mimiko Kaba, and she's Nanako Kaba."
"Well, can I ask why you refused to exorcise that cursed spirit?" I asked.
Fifteen minutes later, I had a general idea of what was going on.
To sum up, this is what happened.
The twin sisters met Yoshino Junpei about half a month ago.
At that time, I happened to meet the people who were beating people, so I beat them up and drove them away.
These people were quiet for a while, but recently they came back to harass Yoshino Junpei. As for the guy who was possessed by the cursed spirit, his name was Ito Shota. He relied on being the son of the school director to bully Yoshino Junpei and a group of students for a long time.
Due to his wealthy and powerful family background, the teachers chose to turn a blind eye, and some even advised the bullied students to keep quiet in the name of "it's just a good relationship".
But it was precisely because of this indulgent attitude and the many evil deeds he had done that the negative emotions of the public towards him gathered into a curse spirit, which was growing wildly at an alarming speed.
And now, the cursed spirit that was about to grow into the second level was only nailed to Ito Shouta. Mimiko and Nanako felt that he deserved it, so they chose to stand by and watch, and did not come forward to exorcise it.
"So that's how it is." After listening to the whole process, I nodded and said, "I have a general understanding of the situation."
Indeed, it is a rather tricky situation.
If it was just to exorcise a cursed spirit, it would be simple. However, I just accepted the commission and drove here, but I found out that the cursed person was a school bully who didn't deserve to live a good life.
If he had died like this, it would probably have freed a lot of people.
It can also make the school director who adopted his son but didn’t teach him pay the price.
No matter how you look at it, it's a win-win outcome.
In that case, why not just let him die... Just as my thoughts were wavering like this, I was suddenly stunned, and then I slapped myself without hesitation.
It's numb, red, and even a little swollen.
“Sister Youxin!?” Tiger Stick was startled by my fierce action and almost jumped up. He ran over and held my hand, asking, “What are you doing?”
Uh...I started to abuse myself for no reason.
He noticed that my face looked a little strange, and asked quickly, "What's wrong with you, Sister Youxin."
"It's okay." I stroked my cheek, shook my head, and whispered to him, "I just suddenly remembered something."
Some very distant things, as if they happened in the previous life.
This is where the blood of the people I killed splashed on my cheeks.
In the second round, 37 people fell down one after another. After walking out, I held onto a tree trunk and vomited for a long time.
Three weeks, 16 people, I even recorded a video, it was all killed in one go. And I sat on the tree, half dead for a long time.
After both murders, my mind was completely blank. I can’t describe what specific emotions I was feeling, but it was overwhelming and I had all kinds of images.
The total number is 51 people.
I remember everyone's life story, age, appearance, how many people are in their family, and even what they like to eat and what their hobbies are. I can't forget them all.
I can't forget the looks they gave me before they died.
Even though, as Shen Er said, these are all damned people.
If I don't kill them, they will come and kill me. It's a completely legitimate counterattack. You don't even need to remember the numbers.
But there is still no feeling of relief or comfort.
Their hands are stained with the blood of their fellow men, and lives are heavy in their palms, to be taken and given away at will.
This feeling...is really, really uncomfortable and makes me feel guilty.
The once law-abiding Suzuki Yuri, who would only call the police even if she was stalked by someone she hated, has become Yushin Itadori, who will break ribs without hesitation and send others to death without even blinking an eye.
What's even more terrifying is that after crossing that line, the first thought that came to my mind when facing these people again was to bypass the law and resort to lynching.
I don't even think there's anything wrong with it.
That's why I slap myself.
These are not things that students who have just entered society and are still studying should bear.
Especially a kid like Junpei Yoshino.
If he had not been forced into a dead end, how could he have been so easily bewitched by the real person and finally stepped into the endless abyss?
Damn it.....it's because those annoying adults do nothing, like to pass the blame on others and pretend they know nothing, that the world has become so bad.
These guys, when it comes to grabbing profits, are like vultures that have been hungry for ten days and won't let go. But when something really needs attention happens, they ignore it without a care in the world.
They are the ones who deserve to die the most!
Just as I was lost in thought, Yoshino Junpei stood up and bowed vigorously to me and Itadori, looking apologetic and uneasy.
He lowered his head, letting his hair cover half of his face, and said carefully, "I'm sorry, I've caused trouble for you and the others in the cangue field."
I came back to my senses, was startled, and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Because." He pursed his lips, revealing a bit of stubbornness and obstinacy, "It was because of me that the others in the shackle field chose to refuse to exorcise the cursed spirit. So, you had to make this trip, and you were in a dilemma because of my affairs..."
"Yoshino-kun."
Maybe my behavior just now caused misunderstanding.
I interrupted him without hesitation, showing a slightly serious expression and said sternly: "Please don't say that."
He stared at his fingers in silence, the level of his cursed energy beginning to fluctuate.
This is a manifestation of the constant ups and downs of emotions.
emm.....According to his current mood, if he really kills Ito Shota or simply exorcises the cursed spirit, it would be difficult to guarantee that his mind would not be distorted in the future.
I suddenly turned my head to look at Yuji and winked at him.
He was stunned, opened his mouth and asked silently: "Let me speak?"
I nodded.
"Uh... Junpei-kun. What Sister Yushin meant was..." Yuji scratched his face and explained in confusion, "Even though I saw a scumbag, I still had to exorcise the curse from him, so I felt very uncomfortable."
"But that's because that guy is annoying to begin with. The problem is not with others, and it has nothing to do with you."
Having said this, he turned around, raised his eyes slightly, and tilted his head, as if asking - am I right?
I gave him a thumbs up.
"So, in the end," Nanako couldn't hold back her temper and stood up, saying to me angrily, "You guys are still going to help those people clean up the mess?!"
"Ah...you can't say that." When I tried to explain, she puffed her lips and still looked at me angrily.
"Look, the cursed spirit is growing really fast."
"so what?"
"So." I glanced in the direction of the infirmary. There was still black gas coming out of there that only sorcerers could see. Maybe the situation hadn't gotten completely out of control yet. The curse spirit was still just devouring Ito Shouta's vitality. I explained, "Level 2 is easy to handle. You can handle it with your strength."
"But what if the cursed spirit evolved to level one or even level three before Ito Shouta died?"
Nanako was stunned, clenched her fists, and said, "No way..."
"Do you dare to bet? If the time comes, are you sure you can exorcise the cursed spirit alone without hurting other innocent people?" I nodded in understanding and said, "It should be difficult to do."
"Nanako-san, if anyone really gets hurt by this, I think you'll feel really guilty."
Mimiko walked over to her, gently held her wrist, and shook her head at her.
After struggling for three seconds, Nanako let go and admitted unwillingly: "Okay, you're right, I really can't do it."
"Hey, don't make that expression." I stroked my chin and corrected her, "A sorcerer is not here to serve the bullies."
"I was just thinking about how to exorcise the cursed spirit and keep him alive while making him suffer enough so that he can't bully others in the future."
I looked around and asked expectantly, "How about it, do you have any good ideas?"
Mimiko and Nanako looked at each other, and Yuji looked up at the sky and really started to think.
As for Yoshino Junpei, his eyes were always fixed on his hands without focus, as if he was still in a daze.
"Yoshino-kun." I walked over and said to him, "Do you know why I asked you not to say that just now?"
He still shook his head.
I let out a long sigh.
I really hate being preached to, but after hearing what was said just now, I still couldn't help but want to refute.
"Because," I said, "you just acted like you were blaming yourself for everything that happened."
"I guess when you're being bullied, you probably keep asking yourself over and over again why this happened. What did I do wrong? Why are they targeting me? Is there something wrong with me?"
His hands were shaking slightly, he covered his mouth, and a tear fell from his eyes.
A small area of the ground was wet.
"Those who bully you are self-righteous and domineering. They like to form cliques and exclude others. Their thoughts are radical and their spiritual world is extremely barren. They can only get a little satisfaction by bullying others."
"This has nothing to do with who you are or what you have done." I gently placed my hand on his shoulder and continued, "You are not wrong, and there is no need to find fault with yourself."
"They are the ones who are wrong, and they are the ones who should be punished."
"........."
After a moment of silence, Mimiko suddenly came out and said, "I've thought of a way."
