It was not until now that Shui Jiangyi truly understood why the system remained silent for a long time when Gojo Satoru said with a smile, "I want you to kill you."
There is also that sentence: what seems to be true cannot protect you.
Gojo Satoru, a natural winner, the strongest man in the world of curse arts who possesses six divine eyes and is arrogant and wanton, has also been looking at the corpses of his companions and enduring grief all the way to where he is today. He is like the predecessor of Itadori Yuji. All the pain that Itadori Yuji has experienced, Gojo Satoru has also experienced.
Even more heartbreaking.
Because he was the strongest, when his closest person defected, no one could support him except him. He could only bear it silently, withstand all the pressure, withstand the accusations of his best friend, and watch his best friend die in front of him.
Even funerals can be done quietly.
Shui Jiangyi didn't even dare to think about what kind of emotion Gojo Satoru was feeling when he said those words to Itadori Yuji in a nonchalant manner.
It was such an immense loneliness. Wasn't Gojo Satoru tired after carrying him on his back for such a long time?
Perhaps, the reason why he was kept was that Gojo Satoru could no longer hold on and his spine bent.
·
Ryomen Sukuna lowered his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.
The pink-haired boy was sleeping in front of him, his eyes tightly closed with anxiety, and suddenly, a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
He stretched out his thumb to wipe away his tears and licked the tip of his tongue. The salty taste brought unspeakable pain. Ryoumen Sukuna looked at him in confusion and said, "You are really the strangest person I have ever met."
“Why does one person have such great emotional empathy for another person?”
Obviously, he is not the real Gojo Satoru, and Gojo Satoru may have already let go of the past, but he, an outsider, still holds a grudge against it.
Ryoumen Sukuna could not understand such complicated emotions, but this did not prevent him from wiping away the pink-haired boy's tears and waiting quietly for him to wake up.
So when Shui Jiangyi opened his eyes, he saw Ryomen Sukuna sitting on his throne, holding his chin with his hand, looking at him with great interest.
He sucked in a breath of cold air and wanted to run, but he was no longer the Piao Piao in Gojo Satoru's dream. Now he was lame and had nowhere to go. He could only meet Ryomen Sukuna's eyes sullenly: "I..."
As soon as Mizue Yi saw Ryomen Sukuna, he immediately got out of his sad state and quickly remembered that he had pretended to be Ryomen Sukuna to meet Kasugano Ken. He couldn't help feeling a little guilty and tapped the floor with his fingers anxiously.
"What?" Ryoumen Sukuna asked in a good mood. He took in all of Shui Jiangyi's little movements. "Why are you holding me back?"
Shui Jiangyi just remembered then.
Oh, it turns out that he was not the only one who pretended to be Ryomen Sukuna! The moment Gojo Satoru appeared, he immediately locked Ryomen Sukuna into his spiritual world to prevent him from taking over his body.
Facing Ryoumen Sukuna's question, Shui Jiangyi really wanted to stand up and shout, "Are you asking a human question? If I don't hold you up, when I open my eyes, I will definitely be hung up by Gojo Satoru with chains again!"
However, he was so frightened when facing Ryomen Sukuna that he couldn't say these words, so he kept silent for a while and then said, "If I say that I just passed out and therefore I am unconscious, would you believe me?"
Ryoumen Sukuna frowned: "Because of the dream you just had?"
"Huh?" Ryoumen Sukuna actually knew about this?
Shui Jiangyi was a little surprised, but he didn't feel surprised for too long. After all, this was Ryoumen Sukuna's personal space. Ryoumen Sukuna knew everything, so it wasn't surprising. He nodded guiltily: "Hmm..."
Ryomen Sukuna stood up.
He walked slowly from the throne to Shui Jiangyi's side. The posture of looking up made Shui Jiangyi raise her head with some effort to barely see his face. Shui Jiangyi couldn't see his expression clearly, but instinctively felt that he should have something to say. Shui Jiangyi asked seriously: "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Ryoumen Sukuna didn't say anything, but just sat cross-legged opposite him. After looking at him for a moment, he suddenly reached out and pinched Shui Jiangyi's face: "You seem to have gained weight."
During this time, he was kept in the infirmary by his family member Naoko. Although he had no time to move freely, he did gain a little weight. His originally thin cheeks were now filled with soft baby fat that felt very soft when pinched.
Ryomen Sukuna seldom touched such soft things, so he kneaded it repeatedly out of curiosity.
Shui Jiangyi was pinched on the face by him, but he dared not say anything. He said vaguely: "In your spiritual world, I will also feel the pain, okay!"
What he said was full of resentment, but when Ryoumen Sukuna heard it, he heard it in a coquettish tone, soft and vague, which made him even more curious. He loosened his hand and found that there were actually red marks on Shui Jiangyi's face caused by his pinching. However, they were not deep, just shallow and tinged with pink.
It is so tender that you can imagine it without even thinking too much.
"You violated our contract." Ryoumen Sukuna retracted his gaze and stated. His tone was very calm, without even a beat, but Shui Jiangyi's heart tightened once again after hearing it.
He glanced at Sukuna secretly and whispered, "Well, how do you want me to compensate you?"
Shui Jiangyi didn't know why, but at the beginning, the relationship between him and Ryomen Sukuna was very clear.
It is the relationship between the host and another soul that appears in the body. They do not interfere with each other. He occasionally gives his body to Ryomen Sukuna to let Ryomen Sukuna go out for some fresh air. Ryomen Sukuna makes him grow faster than others.
However, as time went by, his relationship with Ryomen Sukuna became closer and closer, especially after the Jigokumon Kyo incident, it progressed by leaps and bounds, making him feel guilty and remorseful every time he faced Ryomen Sukuna.
Shui Jiangyi comforted himself, "Perhaps it's because Ryoumen Sukuna never broke the contract between us. So when I broke it, I felt particularly guilty."
He was still comforting himself, and Ryoumen Sukuna chuckled.
He was seldom so peaceful, which surprised Shui Jiangyi. He hesitated and didn't dare to say a word.
Ryoumen Sukuna tilted his head and said meaningfully, "I haven't thought of it yet, so let's just hold on to it for now."
Holding it? Not that it was impossible. Anyway, he owed Ryomen Sukuna so much that he couldn't count it with just two hands.
Shui Jiangyi nodded, but before he could say anything, Ryoumen Sukuna pinched his cheek again.
Ryoumen Sukuna, who was doing evil without knowing it, thought to himself, "Can other parts of your body become so soft?"
