Chapter 371 I Decided to Deceive You
Chapter 371 I Decided to Deceive You
The first day of group battle came to an end.
After Aoi Todou separated from Itadori, they encountered an ambush by Panda. The two fought each other. Kasumi Miwa and Kokichi were tied up and hung on a tree face to face. Maki and Inugami bypassed the pursuit and blockade of Mai and Nishimiya Momo, and finally got rid of the second-level cursed spirit together.
I was concentrating on the surveillance screen the whole time and ignored even the shouting of the old man from Leyan Temple.
Until I saw Yuji carrying Kamo on his back walking towards the exit of the woods step by step, I closed my eyes, rubbed my aching temples, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Youxin, why are you so nervous?" Gojo Satoru asked in confusion, "Look, everyone is fine, they are all very friendly."
Does your friendship mean that both sides fight each other with fists until their faces are bruised and bloody?
That's really loving.
"You don't understand." I glanced at him tiredly, "Just think of me as being overly suspicious."
When Yuji and Kamo were fighting, my heart skipped a beat for a moment, and I always felt that something was going to happen that was beyond my control.
But fortunately, that feeling has disappeared now, and there were no major problems in the team battle as a whole.
"I'm going to take a rest." After letting down my hair that was tied up because it was too hot, I walked around Gojo Satoru who looked uneasy and went straight to the door, warning him, "Don't bother me."
The hottest period has passed and it is almost evening.
The sunlight at around 4pm was not glaring, and the wind blew through the forest, gently brushing the ends of my hair. Countless leaves danced in the light and shadow, as if little people with hands and feet were dancing happily to the sound of cicadas.
I lay lazily on the sloping lawn, with the scent of grass and trees lingering around my nose.
Two white clouds floated across the azure sky. I squinted my eyes and gradually a pug with big white ears appeared.
The wind moves, and the clouds move with it.
So the pug kept running and running, and turned into a limp piece of pancake with a hole in it in the corner of the northwest sky.
From this we can conclude that the wind is blowing from the southeast today.
There were soft footsteps on the gravel walkway under the lawn.
So quiet, as if afraid of disturbing anyone.
I turned my head and saw Yuji standing beside a tree, looking up at me blankly, as if he was in a daze.
"Yuujin." I sat up and asked him, "Why are you standing here in a daze instead of staying with everyone else?"
"Sister Youxin..." He looked hesitant and hesitant for a moment, as if it was difficult to speak, but he began to speak, "I, I have something to tell you."
"Then..." I looked around, and there were no benches around to sit on, otherwise I wouldn't have just laid here. Fortunately, the lawn was clean and the grass didn't hurt, so I simply patted the empty space around me and said, "Then sit here and ask."
So we both lay down on the lawn.
He didn't speak first, so I looked him over.
"Looking closely, you were really beaten badly."
Roughly estimated, there are at least a dozen wounds of varying sizes, including the forehead, neck, and shoulders. I guess there are also many scars in the areas covered by clothes. I couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you go find Miss Nitrate... to treat you?"
Damn, this name can never be changed.
"Oh, that's right. Miss Ieiri is still treating the seriously injured Kamo-senpai, and I thought I wasn't seriously injured, so I came to look for Sister Yushin first."
"Eh..." I asked, "You didn't even have time to treat your injuries, but you came to me. Is there something important?"
"Actually, they are two different things." Yuji touched the back of his head and said to me, "Just now during the fight, Kamo-senpai handed me a bottle of black-green medicine, saying that it was given to him by a strange man who claimed to be from Kamo's family. If it works on me, it can make Ryoumen Sukuna break free from my control and completely take over my body."
"Where is that bottle now?" I frowned, my expression immediately became serious, and asked seriously.
"Leave it to Gojo-sensei."
It was the noose that did it.
I am 100% sure that it was definitely done by the noose.
Almost instantly, I understood his purpose.
Maybe he felt that this chess piece of Yuji was no longer of any use, so he might as well use him to deal a heavy blow to me.
"It's a good thing you're okay." I checked his body again and said thankfully, "It's a good thing that Kamo didn't use his stuff on you."
"That's right." Yuji smiled sheepishly as if he remembered something, and said, "He said that this method was too despicable, so he decided to kill me with poison. But he was also quite soft-hearted. The poison would take effect in half an hour, so I had enough time to ask Miss Ienori for help."
Me: ".......Do you have any misunderstanding about being soft-hearted?"
"Eh?" He was stunned.
I sighed and reached out my hand, avoiding his injured part. I tapped his head with a little force and said angrily, "When you were a kid, you were definitely the kind of kid who would think that anyone you gave two lollipops was a good person and would be easily taken away!"
"Hey, Sister Yuxin." Yuji said unwillingly, "I'm not that stupid."
"So?" I crossed my arms and squinted at him. "What's the second thing?"
"The second thing..." When he mentioned this, the smile on his face faded a lot, and he pursed his lips and asked, "Sister Youxin, I want to ask..."
"What kind of person is our mother?"
I was stunned for a moment, turned my head away subconsciously, and asked, "Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
"Because, when Kamo-senpai was fighting me, he mentioned his mother." He lowered his head, with a look of confusion and loss that only a teenager would have. "His mother was a person who loved him very much. She was forced to leave him because of unavoidable reasons."
"He has worked hard for so many years just to become a powerful sorcerer and bring the person back."
I listened to him quietly.
"But, our mother..." Yuji said, "I have never seen her and I don't know what kind of person she is."
"I see." I nodded, and said with mixed feelings: "About her..."
In fact, when Yuji first mentioned his mother, what I thought of first was not his biological mother, but mine.
About the bouquet of lilies on the windowsill of the ward, and the woman lying on the bed, looking pale but still smiling.
Next came the annoying face of Nozomi with stitches, full of malice and interest.
Do you want that kind of person to be Yuji's mother?
What a joke, after all, he didn't treat Yuji like his own child at all.
To him, the Nine Phases Diagram of the Cursed Fetus were just like tools of use with only practical value, and he looked at them with distortion and cold scrutiny.
An atmosphere of silence spread among us.
Yuji started to feel uneasy, like a child who had done something wrong.
He clenched his hands nervously and said carefully: "Guomei, Sister Youxin, you probably don't want to talk about these things. Sure enough, I shouldn't ask."
"No." I came to my senses, turned to him, smiled comfortingly, and said, "I was just thinking about how to tell you about her."
I waved to him and said, "Come closer and I'll tell you slowly from the beginning."
Telling lies I made up.
I'm sorry, Hisahito, I still don't want that kind of person to be your mother, especially after he just implemented his plan to plot against you.
So, I decided to deceive you.
