Chapter 190 Be careful in the next life
2018年11月9日，夜晚7:40，仙台郊外的一片空旷无人的原野。
It's bleak in winter and the weeds are overgrown.
Withered, thorny brambles and vines grow on the brown soil, winding forward in a twisted manner.
Li Mei and I sat under a three-meter-high tree.
The moonlight sprinkled lightly on his profile. The strong wind broke the branches and leaves on the trees, and his white hair fluttered, making the bright red look even more gorgeous like blood.
He pulled out a pocket watch from his white folded collar, looked at it against the light, and said calmly, "It's 7:40 p.m. now. You have 20 minutes."
"You're wrong." I reminded him, "You only have so much time left."
"In twenty minutes, I will end your life right here, so cherish your last moments."
"Really?" He remained calm, not seeming to be afraid of death at all. It was more like returning to a hometown that originally belonged to him. "This is the only way."
For the first two hours, after letting go and allowing the more than 100 people to receive medical treatment, he remained silent.
At this moment, I suddenly had the urge to speak.
"One day a thousand years ago, I met Lord Ryomen Sukuna." He fell into memory, a smile on his face, "At that time, many strong men challenged him, but without exception, they all fell into defeat."
"The loser must die." Li Mei's tone suddenly became cold. "This is the rule of our time."
"...You said it too, it was your era." I shrugged and retorted, "But times have changed."
The span of a thousand years is a huge gulf.
Thousands of years ago, perhaps it was normal to have corpses scattered across thousands of miles and rivers of blood.
But until now, I just cannot agree with a guy like Ryomen Sukuna who commits evil willfully and simply enjoys killing people.
This is reasonable, right? Who in their right mind would agree to be treated as food by an outlaw?
"Maybe you really support him." I pointed at his back and said rudely, "But what about others besides you?"
"There's nothing behind you."
"Do you think there are many people around you and Gojo Satoru?"
Li Mei glanced at me, but she didn't have the symptoms of a seizure as she did just now when Ryoumen Sukuna was mentioned. She just said calmly, "The strong are always lonely."
"Didn't you say that I'm not worthy to compete with your Sukuna-sama?"
"Indeed, I don't deserve it." He said bluntly, "But you and Gojo Satoru are indeed strong."
"But the group of people you have protected in your palms." Li Mei sneered and mocked, "They are small, fragile, and vulnerable."
"They can easily fall into meaningless defensiveness, suspicion and self-doubt, and fail to understand what is truly precious."
"They are like quicksand in your palm. No matter how hard you try to hold on to them, to retain them or to control them, it will be useless in the end."
Me: "…Do you think this is a curse? It is a curse."
"Thousands of years ago, I wasn't the only one who followed Sukuna-sama." Rimei ignored me and continued, "But in the end, I was the only one who stayed."
He looked up at me and asked, "Do you know why?"
"Because your cooking is delicious?" I raised my eyebrows. "That's the only reason I can think of."
"Because I'm the strongest among them."
"But I'm going to kill you soon." I reminded him, "This time, I won't give you a chance to revive again."
In order to prevent a situation like Nozomi from happening again, I need to bring Rimei back to the high school and let Glass deal with it.
But it’s too troublesome to carry the body back... and what if I’m mistaken for a murderer?
Although I seem to be.
"I know, you don't need to remind me." Rimei said coldly, "Because I am not Sukuna-sama after all, and I don't have the powerful abilities he has."
"Don't worry, you tried your best." I said, "At least you delayed me for three hours, didn't you?"
I said, "This is something that even your Sukuna-sama has not yet achieved."
The time has come to 7:57 pm.
The last three minutes.
I condensed cursed energy from my fingertips, and the energy was glowing with a dangerous red light and was ready to move.
"It doesn't matter." Rimei said, "As long as Sukuna-sama can come back to this world, kill people at will, eat meat, and exert his power."
"Then, even if I die, it won't matter... Wait." At this point, Li Mei's voice suddenly paused, and he looked at me suddenly, "Why are you not in a hurry at all?"
"I told you all." I sighed, "I don't think you, nor those bastards behind you, are capable of hurting them."
"No..." Li Mei frowned, thinking frantically, "No, no, no... There must be something wrong."
As if he remembered something, he pointed at my pocket and said, "Your phone...your phone didn't receive any calls!"
"Are you talking about this?" I put the phone in my pocket in front of him and showed it to him, "Is this it? There really is no incoming call."
"How is this possible..." he muttered to himself, "Even if they failed, as long as someone really attacked Itadori Yuji, they should have notified you first... How is this possible? They didn't even notify you... They betrayed me!"
"Why do you care so much about the attack?" I squatted down, facing his face, thinking, "Let me think about it..."
"First of all, it's more difficult to deal with three people than one person." I thought, "But Yuji and his friends went out together today, so you follow them all the way and strike when he is alone."
"But that person may not be able to defeat the Japanese knotweed, so they should arrange a second insurance."
I said, "We can set up an ambush on the road where Yuji feels unsafe and wants to find Kugisaki and the others to go back to the high school. There may be traps or something, so we can catch them all in one fell swoop."
"Perhaps... there is a third line of defense?" I racked my brains to think, "Which is to send out auxiliary supervisors or medical personnel, so-called "insiders", to lower their defenses after they have been injured in two fierce battles, and then take advantage of the opportunity to attack?"
"How did you know that!" Li Mei widened her eyes.
No, I just let my imagination run wild and made a random guess!
"..." After a moment's silence, Li Mei and I faced each other. He wasn't embarrassed yet, but I was already embarrassed for him.
"So in the end, they betrayed me, didn't they?" Li Mei said grimly.
"That's not the case." I choked. "In the eyes of those high-ranking people in the world of sorcery, I am much more terrifying than Ryoumen Sukuna."
After all, Sukuna was killing indiscriminately, while I wanted to kill indiscriminately in a targeted manner.
"Have you heard of Fushiguro Shirō?" I asked him.
Li Mei: “…”
"He has a famous nickname, Heaven and Tyrant. He also has another famous nickname." I paused and said, "The Magician Killer."
"None of this is important. What's important is that he almost killed Gojo Satoru alone."
"So?" asked Li Mei.
"He was resurrected recently, and I sent him to be a bodyguard for Yuji and his gang." I finally added, "He's a man who loves to play tactics and has a dirty heart."
I agreed with Fushiguro Shiji that if everything went well, he wouldn't have to call me.
"So, your plan may have never been realized from the beginning."
Li Mei fell into a deeper silence.
He lowered his head, and suddenly covered his face with his hands and laughed crazily, "So that's how it is... So that's how it is... Hahahaha... Lord Sukuna, I am sorry for you..."
"Think positively." I patted his shoulder and said lightly, "You have done very well."
I originally thought of just letting him go in peace.
But he reacted on his own.
"Let's do it." He raised his head and looked at the hazy moonlight.
"Well then..." I lightly stroked with my cursed finger, and a bloody mark appeared on Rimei's neck, "Be more careful in your next life."
