Chapter 91
Coming to the end of the long and dark corridor, Shen Du Jianliu opened the door of the innermost room.
The moment the door handle was pressed——
An unnaturally sharp wind blew towards her from inside the house, instantly blowing Shen Du Jianliu's scattered hair and silver earrings backwards.
He tilted his head and dodged the unknown attack.
Something sticky hit the wall behind the white-haired boy.
The initiator of the attack seemed to be hiding in a dark corner not far away - in the independent bathroom of this room, constantly mumbling with sounds of wriggling and swallowing that ordinary people could not detect.
[Oh my god!] ! This seems to be... a curse! ! ? 】
【ah? ? ? ? ? ? 】
[Fuck, what a big and disgusting octopus, all covered with yellow-green pustules and wriggling granulations. I think I'm going to have a problem with octopuses.]
[Go ahead!] Jianliu, is it time to slaughter the cursed spirits again?]
[No, am I the only one confused? If I remember correctly, this is Wenye World? ? How come the curse suddenly came back?]
[You are not alone in front of me. Where did this cursed spirit come from in this wild world? I wonder if A Liu is going to start working alone day and night again?】
[Family, I have a bad feeling]
Shen Du Jian Liu: "..."
Although he couldn't see what the thing looked like, the barrage of comments had already described its appearance to him.
really……
Is it a cursed spirit?
Judging from its breath, the shadow cast by its body and the density in the air, it should be an ordinary second-level cursed spirit.
It's not extremely powerful, but it's not weak either, and it can spit out corrosive liquid.
The pale-skinned boy withdrew his gaze and glanced at the aluminum wall behind him where a small piece had been melted.
"System, won't you explain it?"
In his heart, he called out the mechanical voice of the room manager which had not appeared for a long time.
[System: Uh, this...that...]
[System: Host, you know that this is a super luxurious cruise ship. ]
[System: Because many rooms are often empty, the atmosphere is quite scary in the middle of the night. As these humans were passing on the news, cursed spirits appeared in the last room at the end of the corridor. ]
"Yeah."
Shen Du Jianliu was not very interested in this, and his cold voice interrupted the mechanical sound's hesitating.
"You know that's not what I want to ask."
[system:……]
[System: Okay, host. Didn’t I say before that there was a tiny bug when I sent you back to Wenye? ]
[System: Actually, you have not yet reached the time requirement to return. ]
[System: Because the launch was too urgent, we also tampered with some unimportant records, which caused some problems with the timeline. In short... the fusion of the two worlds is the best solution. ]
[System: Please rest assured, host! This situation will definitely not prevent you from continuing your live broadcast, nor will it affect your daily life... probably. ]
[System: Anyway, you don’t need to cooperate with the high-level officials in the magic world anymore, right? There is no need to pay attention to these cursed spirits that you can't see in the first place. ]
[System: If there is a problem, a sorcerer will solve it. Just ignore it. ]
It's still somewhat necessary.
Shen Du Jianliu would never ignore the cursed spirit in front of his eyes and leave this scourge that harms ordinary people and public facilities.
However, the system is correct in one point.
His deal with the top brass of the sorcery world has ended.
I will do my best to deal with the cursed spirits I encounter on the road, but I will no longer go around the world to actively eliminate them.
At the beginning, he took on the mission for the Jujutsu world alone. Firstly, he could rescue and help more people, and secondly, this itself was a transaction in exchange for the safety of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.
It can also lighten their burden and prevent those two people from being crushed by the heavy burden.
But now…
Shen Du Jianliu did not intend to force himself to continue moving forward, as his current physical condition was very average.
According to his own estimation, this body, which causes severe pain every time it breathes, may only have less than a year to live.
The goal of focusing on Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru has also come to an end.
Mr. Dazai, who still has despair in his eyes, is more important.
Shen Du Jianliu did not forget the year and time he saw at the door and in the banquet hall when he boarded this luxury cruise ship.
2018.
If the world is really integrated as the system says... Geto Suguru should be able to successfully implement his theory.
Otherwise, the distance from the hospital to the cruise ship terminal would not have been so long that Shen Du Jianliu would not have failed to notice even a tiny fly head.
"Is there any weapon I can use to deal with cursed spirits?"
“Any type is fine.”
His modified body allows him to skillfully use all weapons in the world.
[System: Hmm? ]
[System: Host, are you finally going to purchase the points mall again? ]
[System: Of course, do you want to buy the package I introduced to you a long time ago? The host’s live broadcast room is very popular now, and the views and rewards have recovered very quickly in recent days. ]
[System: Buying "glasses/colored contact lenses for seeing cursed spirits + level 4 curse tools" is no problem. ]
[System: By the way, cosmetic contact lenses are a "black technology" developed by our high-dimensional world. You can wear them for a month without taking them off. ]
“…”
Shen Du Jianliu and the system exchanged this so-called package.
The transparent contact lenses made of ultra-thin mechanical material will automatically be worn on the pupils, and the white-haired boy's vision will undergo a wonderful change.
This was the first time he saw the appearance of a cursed spirit since he had eliminated it for so long.
It was an octopus-shaped cursed spirit with pus all over its body. Its face was a combination of a ghost and a bitter melon, and it was not much different from the description in the previous barrage.
There is no need to put on a bandage, which is indeed relatively easier than before.
But it doesn't mean much.
A long sword of moderate length immediately appeared in his hand. Shen Du Jianliu tried the feel of it and rushed forward with the sword without hesitation.
The knife, which should have been extremely tough, could not withstand the boy's strength and was directly broken into pieces after killing the second-level cursed spirit.
The room, neither too big nor too small, returned to silence.
***
After quietly dealing with the second-level cursed spirit, Shen Du Jianliu left the last empty dark room, walked through the long corridor, and returned to the bright and brilliant banquet hall.
Edogawa Ranpo was selecting exquisite desserts on the table and devouring them with relish.
Shen Du Jianliu noticed the other party's position at a glance.
[Ahhhhhhhh Ranpo! ! 】
[Miru will definitely go find Ranpo to save his brother now, right? -]
[By the way, Ranpo still remembers Miryu? It seems that they didn’t meet much before.]
[Ranpo has such a good brain, there is no way he has forgotten. Miru once asked the Armed Detective Agency to commission him.]
[My heart is in a mess now! The cursed spirits have appeared, so how far can 5t5 and Jie be? Can the system explain this?]
[I have also seen 17 or 18-year-old Ranpo and young Odasaku. When Odasaku happened to run into Ranpo on his way to his death, they didn't recognize him either! 】
Oda Sakunosuke.
Kamado Miru walked towards Edogawa Ranpo while scanning the barrage with a calm expression.
Come to think of it, I still don’t know what the other party’s condition is, whether he is dead as the system said before.
You can ask Mr. Dazai later.
"Hello."
When he walked completely in front of Edogawa Ranpo, Kamado Kenryu greeted him politely.
The other person had black hair with slightly curled ends, his eyes were narrowed, and he was wearing a white shirt and a suit vest that was different from what he remembered, with a black bow tie at his collar. [Note 1]
It's normal party attire.
"Ah, it's you..."
Before Shen Du Jianliu could continue to say anything, Edogawa Ranpo had already turned back and said, "That's what Atsushi-kun just told me."
According to his reasoning and prediction, the person who came to see him at this time could only be the person that Nakajima Atsushi had mentioned to him a few minutes ago.
"You want to know... huh?"
Edogawa Ranpo's smiling emerald eyes suddenly opened.
"you……"
He seemed to be thinking.
His thinking entered a white-hot stage.
He suddenly realized what was going on and hit his left wrist, which was holding the plate, with his right hand, which was holding the cake fork.
[Ranpo is so cute]
[Great!] Did Ranpo remember A-Ryu?
[Wuwu Ranpo baby has cream on the corner of his mouth, I really want to wipe it off for him, but if I can’t, I’m going to collapse]
[Two cute babies reunited! 】
"There's cream on the corners of your mouth."
Kamado Kenryu lowered his head, took out a clean tissue from his pocket, and wanted to hold Edogawa Ranpo's cheek and wipe it off for him himself.
Edogawa Ranpo didn't refuse.
He was used to being taken care of, and even stood there obediently, raising his chin to allow the white-haired boy to help him wipe it clean.
The next second, a pair of bandaged hands suddenly reached out and snatched the tissue from Shen Du Jian Liu's hand without hesitation.
He took the initiative to wipe the lower half of Edogawa Ranpo's face clean.
"Hey! Mr. Ranpo, you are here."
"It's amazing that you're still alive."
Two voices sounded at the same time, one came from a bandaged black-haired young man who had just wiped someone's cheek, and the other came from Edogawa Ranpo whose cheek had been wiped clean.
However, after hearing what he said, Dazai Osamu's bright expression changed slightly.
He lowered his iris-colored eyes and stared at the two of them.
Following behind Dazai Osamu was a black-haired woman wearing a golden butterfly hair accessory.
"so?"
"Is this the guy you asked me to save?"
She has beautiful facial features and she is wearing a black suit jacket with a red short evening dress, which is a very intellectual party outfit.
"etc……"
Her eyes followed the other person to the opposite side, and when she saw Kamado Miru's deathly pale face, Yosano Akiko frowned.
"Have I seen you somewhere?"
"Of course I have."
Edogawa Ranpo smiled and picked up another piece of cake and ate it in one bite: "He came to the detective agency for a commission a long time ago."
"The umbrella under my desk is his—"
"Because this person is quite interesting, so it's easy to remember."
The smiling black-haired young man said this, and turned his head back to the white-haired boy whose skin was abnormally white and seemed to take a breath every time he took a step: "You said so?"
"A handsome and cool patient."
"I thought you were dead."
However, there is something a little strange...
Edogawa thought about it, then simply reached into his pocket and put the glasses he carried with him on his nose.
