Ryomen Sukuna's happiness did not last long, and Shui Jiangyi left angrily.

After Shui Jiangyi left, the system flew out from behind Ryoumen Sukuna's throne, trembling and majestic: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

The system spoke very respectfully, but in its heart it felt that this matter was simply unbelievable.

The first time he was caught by Ryomen Sukuna, it could be said that he was careless, but this time, before Mizue Yi woke up, he had made full preparations to avoid Ryomen Sukuna, but he never expected that he would still be caught by Ryomen Sukuna. In fact, Ryomen Sukuna was not affected by it at all, and it was caught effortlessly.

The system felt helplessly and furiously that this was impossible, because in this dimension, Ryomen Sukuna shouldn't be so absurdly strong, right?

It made up its mind that after escaping from Ryomen Sukuna, it would go to the Lord God to find out the truth.

Ryoumen Sukuna didn't care what the system thought, he just suddenly remembered something and wanted to remind it.

"He must have had a tough time recently."

"Eh?" The system was confused. It thought that Ryomen Sukuna was going to launch an all-round attack on it again, but it didn't expect Ryomen Sukuna to speak like this. It didn't quite understand for a moment.

Ryoumen Sukuna seemed to feel that it was a bit stupid, so he glanced at him lightly and repeated it again.

"When he needs it, stay with him for a while."

·

Ryomen Sukuna's reminder is not nonsense. The cause of this incident was the cause and effect that was planted a long time ago on the night when the real person was killed.

According to common sense, Shui Jiangyi shouldn't have been there at that moment, but he appeared there unreasonably. Even though the result was good later, it still aroused suspicion.

Gojo Satoru wanted to ask him directly, but Ieiri Shoko stopped him and whispered, "He doesn't want to tell you. Is it any use just asking him?"

It really doesn't have much use, and I can't ask it.

Therefore, Gojo Satoru held on to this belief and trust in Ieiri Shoko.

Gojo Satoru left Yuji Itadori to Naoko Ieiri. While Ieiri Naoko was treating patients every day, she lazily observed the changes in Yuji Itadori.

Although Yuji Itadori's unchanged state made people feel at ease and there was no sign of any flaws, Ieiri Shoko still used Fushiguro Megumi to seduce Yuji Itadori later.

The result was not surprising, Yuji Itadori brought out Geto Suguru.

The reason why Gojo Satoru showed up so timely was because he had not gone far away. He had been waiting for Ieiri Shoko to give him an answer.

Ryoumen Sukuna, who has lived for millions of years, easily guessed their plan, but was unwilling to reveal it to Mizue Yi.

What was the reason? Ryoumen Sukuna stared into the distance. He had been looking at this blood source for a long, long time. Silence and indifference were the eternal themes here, or in other words, the main themes of all the people and things Ryoumen Sukuna encountered.

Humans are a very cold species.

People fight for profit, and sacrifice their lives for gold, silver and treasure. There are many corpses in this world that die from fighting with others, far more than those killed by cursed spirits.

That's why it seems so strange that Mizue Yi shed tears for Gojo Satoru's story, and Ryoumen Sukuna had a faint thought about the evil of human nature.

He just wanted this feeling to last a little longer.

Although being close to Shui Jiangyi would make him feel uncomfortable, good and evil are originally opposite and different relationships, but Shui Jiangyi's existence allowed Ryoumen Sukuna to overcome this discomfort. He wanted to touch him and wanted to feel the shallow warmth from him.

I want something real, to leave something behind.

·

Shui Jiangyi opened his eyes, and as expected, he was now in the medical room of Nitro at home again.

Gojo Satoru sat lazily not far from him and smiled at him, very permeable: "Yujin, do you remember what I told you last time?"

The pink-haired boy couldn't help but lower his head: "I...but I found him, I can't just turn a blind eye, right?"

"Tsk." Gojo Satoru seemed a little annoyed, but he couldn't say anything. He wanted to blame Yuji Itadori, but he also knew that if it weren't for Yuji Itadori, he might not have caught Geto Suguru now.

It was just that he couldn't explain this sudden irritation. Finally, he reached out and rubbed the pink-haired boy's hair fiercely, stood up and said, "Then you have to take good care of me from now on. I'm leaving first."

"Teacher Gojo..." When Shui Jiangyi got closer, he realized that Gojo Satoru had changed his eye mask and put on sunglasses again.

The sixteen or seventeen-year-old, high-spirited young man he had just seen in his dream overlapped indefinitely, as if time and space had suddenly been dislocated. Mizue Yi, who had just been slightly distracted from the farce between Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru because of Ryomen Sukuna, was suddenly immersed in the final farewell again.

Gojo Satoru sat aimlessly beside the train track, watching the trains passing by with an expressionless face, listening to the noisy sounds of the crowd around him. He was in the crowd, yet he seemed not to be in the crowd.

Lazy eyes and hands hanging down helplessly.

He murmured, "Gojo-sensei, why did you suddenly change your attire?"

"Ah." Gojo Satoru turned around, pushed his sunglasses with his fingertips, and said casually, "Because I'm going to see an old friend."

"Is this the old friend you once told me about?" Shui Jiangyi asked knowingly.

Gojo Satoru shook his head. His eyes were beautiful under his sunglasses, but they were no longer the clear blue as the sky when he was young. They were more like sapphires that had been precipitated, full of traces of time. He said, "No, not that person."

"..." The pink-haired boy smiled in confusion, "Because I rarely hear Gojo-sensei mention topics like old friends, so I naturally thought it was the person Gojo-sensei was talking about. I'm sorry."

Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow: "No need to apologize."

He turned around and walked out of the house step by step, his voice was very soft and firm: "Because everyone thinks so."

No matter who it is, as long as they have known Gojo Satoru's past, the first name that comes to mind when they hear these two old friends is definitely Geto Suguru's name.

Why?

Why could there be any reason? Because, in Gojo Satoru's past, the only person he could still remember and the only one he could afford to call an old friend was Geto Suguru.

The one who had once been the strongest alongside him.

The curser died in front of him again.
