Chapter 373 Reopen
Note: This chapter is two chapters in one
Tiger Stick was already soundly asleep.
He slept very well, and his posture was almost exactly the same as the child in the dream.
With her eyes closed and her hands folded on her stomach, her chest rose and fell rhythmically and she could hear soft breathing sounds.
His mouth was slightly open, revealing his white teeth, his young cheeks were flushed, and his fluffy pink hair was fluttering in the wind.
It's like a tired bird that has been flying in the sky all day, combing its feathers and then resting in its nest.
The world-weary face that was swollen became less world-weary. After his gaze lingered on him gently, he turned around and looked at me quietly.
It can be seen that he probably wants to tell me something.
Not wanting to disturb Yuzhang's rest, I simply moved to the left, then stood up and walked quietly to Zhangxiang's side. The two of us walked side by side along the gravel road in the other direction.
After walking about a hundred meters, he finally stopped when he was sure that Yuji wouldn't hear the conversation.
I was just about to ask him what was going on, but I was shocked when he opened his mouth.
"Sister." He said, "I..."
"Stop, stop, stop." I was rarely called by such a cheesy name, so I closed my eyes, touched my arm which was covered with goose bumps, and stopped talking unbearably, "My name is Yuushin Yuji, why don't you just call me by my last name or first name."
"But no matter what you call me, you are always my little one." He said a little confused, "Call me Youxin or sister, it makes no difference."
"Of course there is a difference."
Although I'm cosplaying Yuji Itadori, I can occasionally transform into Ryomen Sukuna. What's going on? Usually she's a younger sister, but occasionally she turns into an aunt? This is too weird.
I'm not the real gender-changed Tiger Stick, I'm just a fake one. Wouldn't it be more troublesome then?
And also...
"Actually, according to life experience and psychological age," I said confidently, "it's more appropriate for you to call me sister than younger sister."
Even if Zhangxiang was a cursed fetus born a hundred years ago, he was sealed soon after he was born. The total time he spent in the body was less than two years. He was still just a child.
His eyebrows furrowed, and his expression clearly showed his complete disapproval of the term "sister". He firmly objected, "No, I am Onii-chan."
When it comes to being the big brother, he has unique insights and a unique stubbornness.
When I was following the comics, I actually never understood or sorted out the weird and twisted family relationships of Yuji's family.
That is, even if Noso had once possessed the bodies of Kamo Kentoshi and Itadori Kaori, according to the DNA map, there is no blood relationship between Itadori and Choso.
The only connection between the two of them is that their parents were both possessed by the same guy.
Is it that Brainflower's technique is so powerful that it can even change the genetic sequence of humans, or is the ethical relationship in the cursed world just so twisted, or is it simply a bug in the author's setting that cannot be resolved?
However, I can understand his feelings to some extent.
No matter which Ou Doudou they are, they are all his favorites. However, without recognizing Yuji, he chose to be a cursed spirit because he wanted his brothers to have an easier path, which ended up in the tragedy of brothers killing each other.
Having vaguely experienced it once, he will probably be more stubborn in defining himself as the eldest brother and take all the responsibilities on himself.
While I was still confused, Zhang Xiang was still seriously giving examples to prove the legitimacy of the brother-sister relationship between him and me.
"If you're saying that, then the man named Gojo Satoru has more information in his head than an average person would have in their entire life, so do you want to call him ancestor?"
I:"........."
Damn, I was so choked that I was completely unable to refute.
Between recognizing Gojo Satoru as my ancestor and recognizing Zhang Xiang, I decided to decisively choose to find another way.
"Anyway." I paused, and simply changed the subject, and said to him, "No matter what the relationship is, you should just call me Youxin first."
At worst, you can recognize me as your sister and I will recognize you as my brother, and we can call each other by our own names.
"......." After hearing what I said, he still seemed a little unwilling, but he could only say, "Okay then."
"Come to think of it," I asked him puzzledly, "Weren't you always with Hisahito in the past few days? Why didn't you show up today?"
It was an important game after all, and I hadn’t seen him all day.
"Geto Suguru said there was an annoying old man and told me not to appear in front of them as it would bring trouble to Hisahito." he replied.
"Oh, that old man."
I guess he is talking about the old man from Rakuganji Temple. Even the mission of Kamo to assassinate Yuji seemed to be sent by him.
"Then why did you go?"
"Xiaoyou Jie said that I didn't remember anything, so just follow me around to find the lost memories." He told me everything.
"Where did they go?" I asked curiously.
"Uh... I went to a station in Shibuya, a bus stop, and a place called Pansei Cult."
No wonder at today's exchange meeting, Jie only showed his lower body and then never appeared again. I thought he was going to exorcise the cursed spirit, but he was so considerate to accompany Zhang Xiang to go shopping.
"Did you remember anything then?"
He shook his head silently and said, "It just feels like those places are familiar, but I have no memory of them."
Ok.
"That..." Zhang Xiang seemed to have remembered something and looked a little dazed.
"what?"
"Regarding the mother you and Hisahito mentioned......." he said, "Are you talking about our mother?"
No, strictly speaking, the three of us have three mothers.
However, there seems to be no need to distinguish them carefully for him.
So I just asked him, "Why did you think of asking this?"
"Because I still seem to have an impression of her." Zhang Xiang said, "I remember her."
"........You remember her."
It is said that a baby can sense the outside world while in the womb. So maybe the baby still has some impression of his mother...
"I remember she hated me," he said calmly, as if he were telling someone else's story. "And she hated me very much."
"Hate me very, very, very much."
The self-loathing in his words was actually quite obvious.
“........” I remained silent.
There is not much description or information about the mother of the Cursed Embryo Nine Phases Diagram in Jujutsu Kaisen.
It only says that because of her special physique, she was able to give birth to children between humans and cursed spirits, so she was locked up in a noose and used repeatedly.
No, it's not even exploitation, but being used nakedly as a tool.
Just a few words in the book, when brought into this world, represent the hellish and miserable life of someone a hundred years ago.
"No matter whether she hates you or not." I pursed my lips and said to him, "You were not born into this world specifically to make her suffer."
"There is someone else who deserves to die the most."
"There's someone else... There's someone else..." Zhang Xiang kept repeating what I said. Suddenly, hatred flashed in his eyes. He said, "You know him too."
He turned around suddenly, held my shoulders, and asked excitedly, as if he had finally solved a riddle, "Sister, you also know what Kamo Kentoshi did, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes." I waved my hands helplessly and persuaded him in a low voice, "I do know what he did, but please calm down first."
"Okay." He was coaxed instantly and calmed down in an instant. He looked at me and said, "I'm calm now."
"I do know what Kamo Kenroshi did." After a few seconds of pausing, I explained to him, "Not only me, but many others also know about Kamo Kenroshi's evil deeds."
"He was a notorious curse master from the Kamo family a hundred years ago. He did many evil and harmful things."
If you ask me, just for what he did to Jiuxiangtu's mother, he deserves to be cut into pieces hundreds of times.
"Then where is he now?"
"Dead." I blinked and said softly, "After all, he lived a hundred years ago."
"Dead?" He raised his voice, with obvious disbelief in his eyes, "Impossible."
"I can feel that he is still alive." Zhang Xiang frowned and said seriously, "Sister, don't be fooled by that scheming man. He is definitely still alive."
"I'm going to find him." He turned and was about to leave.
Still calling her sister.
I sighed helplessly, tugged at his sleeve, and pulled him back forcefully: "Wait, you don't even know where he is."
"I don't know, but I can use blood sensing to get the approximate location."
"How much?"
He pointed to the north and said honestly, "I know he is in that direction."
Wow...that's really...very general.
"I must find that guy myself." Every time he mentioned the noose, he found it hard to calm down. He said excitedly with a gloomy face, "He hurt my brothers and sisters so badly, I want to kill him!"
Zhang Xiang, who came to this world from the previous world, didn't seem to be very clear-headed. If he wasn't stopped, he might really go on a carpet search. Moreover, even if he could find it, with the current strength of Xiang Suo and the power behind him, Zhang Xiang would definitely not be able to compete with him alone.
As he was talking, he wanted to turn around and leave.
"Wait." I continued to pull him and said loudly, "Have you forgotten your responsibilities as the eldest brother?"
He paused.
"His High School is still here," I said. "If you leave, who will protect him?"
"Don't forget, Yuujin swallowed Ryoumen Sukuna's finger and is now being treated as Sukuna's body." I persuaded him patiently, "Are you willing to leave him here alone?"
Eh... this phrase seems a little familiar...
Never mind, as long as it’s useful.
Zhang Xiang stopped where he was with a frown on his face. The two commands in his mind conflicted with each other, causing him to crash in a contradictory way.
"The entire world of curse arts is full of people who want to assassinate him." I simply downplayed the existence of Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Fushiguro Shiji, and whispered to him like a brainwash, "Just think about it, you are the only one who has Yuji."
"If you don't stay by his side and protect him closely, if someone comes to hurt him, you won't be able to protect him in time if you're too far away."
Okay, now he's really thinking.
"What do you think?" I thought about it and then asked, "Onii-chan?"
He lowered his head, his hands and sleeves hanging by his legs, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"I have one more condition." Zhang Xiang suddenly raised his head, staring at me with shining eyes, his face full of seriousness, "Can you . . . "
"Call me again." The voice was very loud, "Imito, it's about that Onii-chan, please call me again!"
I:"........"
No, brother, you have really remained true to your original intention in this life.
Sighing helplessly, I thought there was no one else around, so I just agreed.
"Okay then," I said, "just once."
In order to make it easier for him to hear, I even slowed down my voice and pronounced the words clearly: "Oh, Ni, Jiang."
"That's okay."
Zhang Xiang continued to raise his index finger, his eyes becoming brighter: "Can you shout it again?"
".......Hey, please stop pushing your luck."
"For the last time!" He put his hands together and said sincerely, "Please, Yimoduo, this is really the last time!"
.....It feels like I'm just coaxing a child.
With this mentality, I had no choice but to repeat: "Onii-chan."
By the way, I warned him: "This is really the last time, or I will beat you up."
"That's all." Zhang Xiang clasped his hands together, revealing a strangely satisfied smile. He said, "Although my brother still refuses to acknowledge me, it's great that my sister is willing to call me brother."
Fortunately, there was no one else around.
I thought again with relief, if there was a third person at this time...wait.
The man lying on the tree not far away, who originally had a weak presence but now suddenly appeared before my eyes, is he Fushiguro Shino?
I saw him lazily raising one leg, looking at me with interest, the corner of his scarred mouth raised, and his left hand circling around his head, probably mocking me.
When I looked closely, he was still lip-syncing to me from a distance.
"Great, it's Onii-chan~"
I:".........."
Wow, Shen Er saw it.
Hahahahahahahaha....It's probably too late even if I beat the person into losing his memory now.
Or maybe we should just destroy the world and start over. It wouldn't be so hard to accept if it happened again for the fifth time.
