Chapter 79
When Gojo Satoru returned to Kamado Miru's room, the crushed high-end dessert was still lying intact in the trash can.
He walked over, picked it up, and dusted off the box.
…
Why is there blood on it?
Noticing that there were spots of blood on the lining of the box underneath the cake, Gojo Satoru paused.
He pulled down the sunglasses on his nose a little, revealing six dazzling eyes.
There is no cursed energy in the blood.
"This is……"
Naturally, Geto Suguru followed Gojo Satoru.
He just took a quick glance at Kamado Kenryu's room before catching up with someone, and did not enter the room to see the trash can behind the bed.
"You were going to ask me what happened this morning, Jay?"
Gojo Satoru twitched his lips, stood up and looked back at the black-haired boy who followed him in, and showed him the rotten high-end cake and the pure gold logo: "This is the reason——"
"I'd also like to know why my cake is with him."
"And he's still missing."
"Wait a minute, Satoru."
Xia Youjie took out his cell phone from his loose pocket, lowered his eyes and looked through the contact list: "I'll ask him for you."
"Miru is not someone who would do something like this for no reason."
"…Huh? You still have his contact information?!"
Gojo Satoru pushed back his specially made sunglasses, raised his voice and pointed at the phone in his best friend's hand.
Having said that, he didn't say anything else. After complaining, he put his raised finger back.
His expression looked a little irritated.
This caused Xia Youjie to look up and glance at him.
If it were Wu from two days ago, he would probably have said a few more words at this time.
It's a bit strange, Wu's attitude.
Taking his gaze away temporarily, Xia Youjie sent the question to Shen Du Jianliu.
The message received no response.
“…”
Maybe busy?
Xia Youjie thought for a moment and did not call the other party. Instead, he put away his phone and asked his best friend the question he had just asked on the playground: "Wu, what do you mean by inspection?"
"Literally, of course."
Gojo Satoru didn't explain anything further. Seeing that there was no news from Jie, he simply left Kamado Miru's room with the scraps that were no longer edible.
"I need to go out for a bit, Jay."
"If that guy has any news, remember to tell me."
"……Um."
Finding that Gojo Satoru was not as furious as he had been before he chased him out, Geto Xiayou breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't look like the fight has eased. Did that guy encounter something at the entrance of the high school...
Geto Xiayou recalled the dazed look on Gojo Satoru's face as he leaned against the door frame when he caught up with him.
never mind.
He looked away thoughtfully and pressed his temple with his hand.
Let's wait for Jianliu to reply to my message first.
The other party was not in good condition last night. His skin was pale and sickly, and there was no reason for him to leave in such a hurry in the morning.
Xia Youjie couldn't help but think of what Shen Du Jianliu said to him last night -
I went to the headquarters to investigate the theory of 0 mana that you mentioned.
I want to tell you the first time I get the news.
…
Could it be that he went to the headquarters of the magic world?
He has also been chatting with himself about this situation frequently via his phone recently.
It can be seen that Shen Du Jianliu has always taken this matter to heart.
Thanks to the other party's support, Geto Xiayou's insomnia symptoms have been gradually reduced recently.
Having someone to share his inner thoughts with relieved the heavy fatigue from his shoulders that were almost crushed.
Geto Xiayou sighed.
He kind of regretted not staying with Jianliu last night, but letting him close the door and be alone.
Maybe when people encounter something, they don't need to be alone.
However, the other party left so early in the morning, maybe he went to the hospital or something.
After all, his complexion was very bad at the time, his skin was so transparent that the blood vessels were clearly visible, and it was abnormally white.
Maybe he returned to his family or went to the hospital for treatment in the morning and didn't see the news.
…
Don't worry too much.
Shen Du Jianliu is very strong.
Given the opponent's strength, nothing serious should happen.
***
At this moment, in the empty and cold laboratory.
The sunlight could not filter in through the gaps in the high windows; the white walls reflected the faint light, almost blending into the wall.
“Cough… cough…!”
Shen Du Jianliu covered his mouth, but he couldn't control the violent cough in his chest and suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The dark scarlet liquid instantly splashed all over the ground.
The previous strain successfully improved part of his blood, and the staff has taken it for analysis.
Today new viral protozoa need to be implanted to continue destroying his cells.
If the adaptability is good, we can try to conduct the experiment on ordinary people the day after tomorrow.
"Master Jianliu, once you inject this strain, there will be no turning back."
"Are you sure you want to continue the experiment?"
This is what the staff in white coats said before leaving.
"Sure."
Kamado Kenryu agreed without any hesitation.
Today's condition is worse than yesterday, especially after the injection of new things, the boy's increasingly bulging blood vessels are almost about to burst under the skin.
He supported himself on the stage with one hand, his face as pale as a piece of crumpled rice paper.
Blood oozed from the corners of his mouth and he coughed uncontrollably from deep in his throat. Every breath was accompanied by severe pain, as if a broken bellows was operating with difficulty.
Large amounts of blood splattered on the ground, and his coughs echoed in the empty laboratory.
Despite this, there was no expression on the white-haired boy's face.
These behaviors have meaning.
It doesn't matter if I destroy my body, even if I die, there is no problem.
He held his sweaty forehead, and his bloody fingertips passed through his scattered silver bangs, casting a faint shadow on his fair forehead.
There are still many unfinished plans for today.
He originally planned to deal with the cursed spirits after finishing the experiment, and spend the rest of the time going back to the high school to care about Geto Suguru's mood and Gojo Satoru's safety.
On the way to deal with the cursed spirits, you can also buy some ordinary desserts to bring to Gojo Satoru, carefully explain what happened in the morning, and apologize first.
pity……
The will is there but the strength is not enough.
Shen Du Jianliu could feel that his body was as heavy as if it was filled with lead, and the blood under his skin was still raging, much more serious than yesterday.
He is not in a good state to spread hope.
Always understand the principle of stopping losses in time, and Shen Du Jian Liu will not force himself.
Forcing yourself to do something that is currently beyond your reach may actually lead to failure.
The boy, whose internal organs were aching and whose chest could not stop coughing, had no time to pay attention to the vibrating phone in his pocket as he leaned against the wall.
Naturally, the message mixed in with the curse spirit's broadcast was also ignored.
***
Since Nozomi was not at home, Gojo Satoru sent the high-end dessert he found in the trash can to the Gojo family for testing.
Not only that, he also asked his family to investigate the current situation in the world of sorcery, after all, he didn't have time to go back in the past few days.
Gojo Satoru suspected that the number of cursed spirits in this world had not decreased at all.
Rather, someone is putting pressure on the task assigned to the High Commissioner.
If the number of high-level cursed spirits has really decreased, then what about the special-level and quasi-first-level ones that have been "hunting him down" these past two days?
And... Mr. Ye Moth said that you can only get the mission by asking for it from the higher-ups.
Is it only the high school, or is it also like this for the Gojo family, all the three great families, and all the sorcerers in the sorcery world?
If it is the latter, then it is a big problem, because it means that some extremely powerful cursed spirit is really growing in the dark which no one knows about.
The strength should be at least equal to his current level, because the cursed power in the world of curse requires balance.
But if it's the former...
A sentence suddenly popped up in Gojo Satoru's mind.
They are my friends.
I insist that they have nothing to do with you.
Because Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru are the two most important people to me in this world.
“…”
Gojo Satoru sighed softly, feeling quite annoyed, and quickened his pace back to the technical high school.
As soon as he got back to school, he saw two second-year students walking in, chatting and laughing.
"Ah! Gojo-senpai!"
Huihara Yu noticed someone out of the corner of his eye, and stood on tiptoe to wave at him from a distance.
"You don't even know that we encountered a cursed spirit that was about to reach level two outside."
"My hands were a little raw after not cleaning them for a long time, but they were wiped out in no time!!"
"When Nanami went back to get the cursed tools, I dragged it by myself for a long time!"
"Really? Really? - Very strong."
Gojo Satoru waved at them, thought for a moment, then pointed at himself and said with a grin, "But they are not as strong as me."
Nanami Kento: “…”
Haibara Yu: "That's right! Gojo-senpai is the strongest!"
"But where did you encounter the cursed spirit?"
"It's in the commercial street near the foot of the mountain at the technical high school. I thought there were fewer cursed spirits recently, but in fact, I still encounter them occasionally!"
"Except for dealing with cursed spirits occasionally, this period of time is really free."
"Yeah."
The curve of Gojo Satoru's mouth straightened.
"…By the way, how's that dessert of yours going?"
Nanami Kento has not forgotten Gojo Satoru's angry expression in the morning. Now it is almost noon, and he only saw Gotsuyoshi in the school, without even a shadow of the other two.
"Did you find it in the room?"
"Don't talk about this in a hurry."
Speaking of Kamado Miyazawa, the corners of Gojo Satoru's mouth drooped completely, and his mood obviously returned to an irritable state.
Thinking of how Jie and Nishiko both praised that guy, Gojo Satoru couldn't help but turn his attention to the two second-year juniors.
"I said—"
"Have you seen that guy Zenin Jianliu?"
Although the other party never attended classes, spent little time in the dormitory, and didn't even wear a decent school uniform.
But the fact that Nanami was able to remind him in the morning that the dessert was taken away by the other party meant that they had met before.
"I have seen it before...what's the matter?"
"What do you think of that guy's character?"
"Good man!"
Before Nanami Kento could answer, Haibara Yuu gave the answer first: "Gojo-senpai, you don't know yet, right?"
"We almost died in a Level 1 mission a while ago. We were barely alive when we were brought to Senior Jiaru."
"Ah... I know that one."
Gojo Satoru touched his chin with his hand. He was not in the high school at the time, but was doing a mission somewhere else. Suddenly, he received news that these two idiots were going to die.
"The assistant supervisor called me and asked me to go for a response, but then canceled the call. I heard someone solved it later?"
"right!"
Huiyuan Xiong nodded seriously and said, "The person who saved us was Zenin-senpai."
"He's super powerful. He can cut a first-level curse spirit just like cutting vegetables!"
"ha?"
"I remember it was early August when you guys were together... He hadn't enrolled in technical secondary school yet, right?"
"It seems so? We are not particularly sure."
Huiyuan Xiong didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He gave Gojo Satoru a thumbs up and said, "Although Zenin-senpai doesn't talk much, we actually have very little communication with him."
“But I feel like he’s the type who gives silently!”
"…and the body doesn't look very good."
Nanami Kento added in a calm tone.
“In short, the seniors in Zen Temple are really nice!
Huihara Yu raised his arms and said the last words in unison with Nanami Kento -
“He’s a good man.”
Gojo Satoru: “…”
The air was inexplicably silent for a moment.
"Gojo-senpai?" Huihara Yu called him in confusion.
"Ah, nothing, I'll go up first, you guys can do whatever you want-"
Gojo Satoru waved his slender arms and strode towards the dormitory area of the school with one hand in his pocket.
Everyone who has come into contact with Shen Du Jianliu says that he is a good person.
Jay said this, and Glass said this.
Now even the two younger generations say so.
certainly……
Gojo Satoru recalled what happened yesterday when he and Kamado Miru just left the high school. That guy's behavior could indeed be described as that of a pushover.
A super nice guy.
After saying goodbye to Haibara Yu and Nanami Kento, a tall, white-haired boy went straight back to the dormitory.
The items have been delivered to my home, and all I have to do now is wait for the results.
As for the rest...
He turned over in bed, not wanting to think too much.
Otherwise it will be the same as yesterday, the more I think about it, the more contradictions I find, and there are too many things I don’t understand.
It's just disturbing my emotions.
Fortunately, the cake test results came out quickly.
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru just ate some instant noodles in the school cafeteria and received a call from home that evening.
The results of the experiment on the dessert debris are -
poisonous.
And it is highly poisonous.
