The system said silently: "But the host."
This was a rare opportunity for him, and on several occasions, he solemnly chose to call Shui Jiang Yi as the host.
Shui Jiangyi said: "But what?"
The system spoke in a mechanical voice, "If you choose this, you will never be able to return to this world. You...can't say goodbye to them."
The reason why Mizue Yi can now return to the world of Jujutsu Kaisen unconditionally is that he is wearing the shell of Itadori Yuji, and there is always a being that he can possess at any time and place. When Itadori Yuji truly returns, the world line will converge and will no longer be able to accept a person from outside the dimension.
Shui Jiangyi doesn't look sad at all now, but how could the system not understand Shui Jiangyi?
He is the person who has been with Shui Jiangyi for the longest time. He has watched him go through life and death time and time again, and watched him transform himself time and time again into who he is now.
He also knows best how much Shui Jiangyi values feelings.
Every time he said goodbye, he had to be very patient before he could make the choice to say goodbye and turn around and leave.
The system still remembers that time, when facing the matter of Yumenjiang, Shuijiang Yimou planned the whole rhythm, the last night.
The moonlight outside the window was like water. He hugged the pillow and said to the system with a bit of depression: "Tong, I feel a bit uncomfortable."
The system held him and wrote out several sheets of paper, which made the plan very clear and flawless. He didn't understand and said, "Why do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Just..." Shui Jiangyi's eyes were a little unfocused. He didn't know where his eyes were looking in the room. It seemed that no place would be suitable. "I don't think I set aside time specifically."
"Leave some time?" The system was even more confused.
"I don't think I left time to say goodbye to them." Shui Jiangyi counted the steps on his fingers, "At that time, it seemed that there was no time at all. Were they caught off guard?"
"But it seems that saying goodbye is not a good thing." Shui Jiangyi thought of the world of Bungo Stray Dogs.
Under the dark night, the beautiful woman in kimono burst into tears because of his departure.
Sister Hongye is the person who never cries. She is the most feminine and charming woman Shui Jiangyi has ever met. She has the softness of a rose and the sharpness of a blade.
That night she burst into tears because of his departure.
After hesitating for a long time, Shui Jiangyi held the pillow in his hand, let out a long sigh, turned left and right while holding the pillow, and said, "But, no matter what, I still want to say goodbye to them. It's such a pity to think that we will never see each other again."
·
"Then let's not say goodbye." Shui Jiangyi tilted his head and said, "Anyway, I've been worrying about how I should tell them and how I should explain it."
"That's good now. I can put all the blame on Yuji." Shui Jiangyi said with a smile, "He should be able to handle it, right? He should forgive me, right? Although I said..."
Shui Jiangyi looked far away and said, "Although I have caused him a little trouble, Gojo Satoru is on my side now. If Huihui doesn't understand, I will let Gojo Satoru beat Huihui up. After all, Huihui is a person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, so he will definitely forgive me."
"The same is true for Junpei. Junpei's heart can be said to be the softest of all people. It's a pity that he doesn't admit it, but as long as Hisahito smiles at him, he will definitely not be confused."
"As for Ieiri-senpai, Gojo Satoru has already returned with Geto Suguru. I'm sure Ieiri-senpai won't be in the mood to bother with me anymore."
"As for Kugizaki...I don't think she can remember it."
He listed their names one by one, like a treasure, as if he was convincing the system as well as himself.
"There's really nothing to say goodbye to."
"But it seems that all I left for him are illnesses." Shui Jiangyi raised his head and looked at the system, "After I am gone, will all my illnesses be left to Yuji Itadori?"
The system felt that Shui Jiangyi was a little distressed. He stretched out his light wings to hold Shui Jiangyi's fingers and whispered, "No."
After you leave, all traces of you will be cleared, host.
The world line of this world will not be willing to leave any traces of alien species, and Yuji Itadori's injuries will gradually recover with the passage of time.
It doesn't even take long, just about a week, and he's a completely new person.
"Then." Shui Jiangyi was relieved. He looked at the system with a smile and asked, "Shall we go?"
"A mission to open the next world?"
The system was silent for a moment, and then said to Shui Jiangyi: "Host, although you can no longer wake up, there is still one person you can meet now. Do you want to meet him?"
Shui Jiangyi froze for a moment, pursed his lips, and said the name he had deliberately omitted: "...Ryomen Sukuna?"
"Yes."
How many times have I walked this road?
The system wisely chose to avoid suspicion and stayed outside the space. Shui Jiangyi walked along this road that he seemed to have walked countless times, looking at the bright red blood flowing on the ground, and stepped on the stone steps.
Shui Jiangyi thought: Maybe neither of the two Sukuna understands this space as well as I do!
There were only a few dim lights flickering in the dark night. Shui Jiangyi walked slowly, step by step, towards the throne of Ryoumen Sukuna.
While walking on this road, Shui Jiangyi had time for the first time to think about this brief interaction between himself and Ryomen Sukuna.
To be honest, Shui Jiangyi's relationship with him has been superficial so far.
but……
Every time, every time, it's like interacting with Ryomen Sukuna.
These are the secrets that allow him to escape from trouble at any time when he is at the end of his rope.
As Mizue Yi expected, Ryomen Sukuna sat on the throne.
His robe hung on the throne like flowing water, his eyelashes were lightly closed, the tattoos on his face were faintly visible, and his whole body showed a sense of silence, as if time had quietly passed through him, and then left no trace, leaving him forever in the deepest part of time.
Shui Jiangyi stopped three meters away. He had talked to Ryomen Sukuna many times before, but each time had never made him so nervous.
The tension made it difficult for him to even open his mouth. He spoke in a voice as weak as a mosquito's: "Ryomen Sukuna, I... I came to say goodbye to you."
After I finished speaking, one second, two seconds, three seconds.
Ryomen Sukuna said nothing.
Shui Jiangyi then remembered that Ryomen Sukuna would sleep during the day, and it was a deep sleep.
Is it daytime now? Shui Jiangyi doesn't know.
It should be daytime. He had just watched the dawn with Gojo Satoru. The sight of the thin light slowly rising from the horizon was so beautiful that it made people dizzy.
The fact that Ryoumen Sukuna was sleeping made Shui Jiangyi feel a little regretful, but at the same time, he couldn't help but relax.
He sat down cross-legged and looked up at the two Sukuna.
He had seen this face in the mirror thousands of times before, and every part of it was familiar to him. However, when it appeared on Ryomen Sukuna's face, it inexplicably had an indescribable flavor.
There was an unspeakable hostility lurking between his eyebrows.
Shui Jiangyi said, "I was once very scared of you. Very scared of you."
"But I have to say, people do develop feelings after a long time."
"Although you wanted to kill me at the beginning, and didn't do anything good afterwards, and even threatened me in the end, and made a contract with me, and then you hid from me that at night, you used my body to bet with the cursed spirit that occupied Geto's body. I still don't know what bet you made with him. If the cursed spirit hadn't died, I might have to explain it again, but..."
"But at least you didn't really kill me."
"At least we have been able to get along peacefully until now, and now it's my turn to say goodbye to you."
"Sometimes I feel that we are very similar. Of course, it's not about personality or anything else, but it's because we both have Hisahito's face. Or maybe it's this."
Shui Jiangyi thought: "Two people who look exactly the same standing together and talking face to face actually feel like peacekeeping." "I have tried to think about what you will look like."
"But I feel like I can't think of what you look like. Maybe the look in front of me is the most suitable for you."
"And I..." Shui Jiangyi narrowed his eyes, "I am very good-looking. People around me say that I am very, very good-looking."
"I won't tell you how beautiful it is. You can't see it anyway." Shui Jiangyi stood up and wanted to leave. "This is my farewell to you."
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his wrist.
The hand clamped Shui Jiangyi's wrist with such force that his hand bones almost hurt, and his palm was so hot that it almost burned him.
The relief on Shui Jiangyi's face suddenly disappeared. His feet seemed to be suddenly fixed, and his body was stiff and unable to move. He was fixed in place.
Ryomen Sukuna's lazy voice came from behind him: "So, is this what you humans mean by goodbye?"
"..." Shui Jiangyi opened his mouth stiffly and said in a low and embarrassed voice, "No."
"Then, do you want to say goodbye to me for real?" Ryoumen Sukuna asked. He stared at the wrist in his hand and thought thoughtfully.
It seems like this wrist is a little thinner.
Shui Jiangyi was speechless. He almost wanted to shake off Ryomen Sukuna and leave when his hand was held. The feeling of being caught by Ryomen Sukuna again reminded him of his experience that time.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you hear everything?"
"Hmm." Ryoumen Sukuna said, "I guess I heard it."
What kind of answer is it that I heard it?
Shui Jiangyi was helpless and angry: "You always play tricks on me like this!"
Before, I pretended to be a system in front of him, and now I pretended to be asleep.
"After you leave, I will fall into a deep sleep." Suddenly, Ryomen Sukuna changed the subject and said so.
Shui Jiangyi was still angry, and suddenly heard this sentence. He turned around and looked at him in disbelief: "What did you say?"
After Ryoumen Sukuna opened his eyes, the feeling of being at peace with the world and having been let down by time disappeared completely. His dark eyes held an indescribable look. In the past, Shui Jiangyi saw arrogance in his eyes, but this time, his look was one of indifference.
"After you leave, I will fall into a deep sleep." Ryoumen Sukuna repeated, calmly as if he was not talking about his own business.
"I have made too many contracts with you. As long as I am alive, the contracts will exist forever and will always bind me."
"So, when you're gone, I'll fall into a deep sleep."
"Aren't you afraid?" Shui Jiangyi started to speak in a ridiculous voice. He realized that his voice was hoarse when he finished speaking. He said, "Aren't you afraid that if I leave, I will never come back?"
Then, can you still wake up from your sleep?
Ryoumen Sukuna raised an eyebrow: "Isn't it a good thing for you that I fell into a deep sleep?"
Yes, the cursed spirit that occupied Geto Suguru's body died, and all the other cursed spirits that followed him were also killed. If Ryomen Sukuna also fell into a deep sleep, there will be no more powerful cursed spirits for at least ten years, unless a new powerful cursed spirit emerges in the world line.
But.
"Besides." Without waiting for Shui Jiangyi to speak, Ryoumen Sukuna said, "I will wait for you to come back."
These gentle and intimate words didn't seem to come from Ryomen Sukuna's mouth.
But it happened to come out of his mouth. Shui Jiangyi suddenly covered his face, turned his head and walked out.
Without even turning his head, he shouted, "Don't wait for me!"
Ryoumen Sukuna's voice was lazy, light, and faint, penetrating so far and reaching his ears: "Okay."
Shui Jiangyi gritted his teeth, thinking that Ryomen Sukuna was really unreasonable. He said nice things, but in fact...
Shui Jiangyi murmured, "Don't wait for me."
Because I myself don’t know if I can come back.
·
Shui Jiangyi is an orphan.
But he was a relatively lucky orphan. When he was three years old, he was adopted by a tall, dark-haired woman.
The black-haired woman was a school teacher. Although she was not a very gentle person, she tried very hard to arouse the interest of Shui Jiangyi, who had no interest in life at that time.
One day, she placed a piece of paper in front of Shui Jiangyi and asked, "Yi Yi, do you have anyone you like?"
Shui Jiangyi shook his head numbly: "No."
She then asked, "What about the personality you like?"
After thinking for a long time, Shui Jiangyi picked up a pen and wrote two words on the paper: gentle.
He said, “I like gentle people.”
The woman smiled and tapped his forehead from behind, then said with a smile, "It doesn't count."
Shui Jiangyi chased her and asked, "Why doesn't it count?"
The sun was shining brightly that day, illuminating the swaying green plants on the balcony and the milk tea-colored lip gloss on the woman's lips. She smiled and said, "Because in this world, everyone can show a gentle side."
