Chapter 78 There is a Heaven Above Heaven [2] A Moment of Freedom (1, No 2…
The heart of the incarnated cursed Fusangshen is as cold and hard as iron. The soft past is sifted out by a huge net, and the excess emotions are like floating objects left on the sieve, which are easily thrown away at some unknown time.
The fragment embedded in Tsurumaru Kuninaga's soul is crying, but its "voice" is too small and dissipates as insignificant as the morning mist in Honmaru.
The incomplete mind of "Shirasugawa" could no longer bear such terrible words, so it chose to -
In a safe courtyard on the outskirts of Tokyo, in a house guarded by more than a dozen Tsukumogami in turn, Gokotui's explosive crying attracted the attention of others.
Amid the ferocious yet panicked howls of the little white tiger, everyone saw that the Shinsengumi, who had been sleeping peacefully for eleven days, had been carefully cared for under everyone's eyes, and his face looked rosy as if he could wake up at any time.
But at this moment, the spiritual energy was like sand blown away by the wind, and the gentle colors were peeled off layer by layer, leaving behind a body without a soul...
My heart is beating fast.
Yakiri Hasebe was still questioning, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga seemed to have realized something.
He controlled the domain and checked it out. The young sorcerer who was thrown into the corner of the domain was still immersed in the hallucination and did not make any noise.
Before he could figure it out, the domain that he could control at will suddenly became out of control, and Bai Qichuan, who had been scattered and disappeared, reappeared without him constructing an illusion!
This "Shirasukawa" who appeared out of nowhere was dressed simply, with his hair loose and unrestrained. He had a gentle look, and stood at an arm's length from Tsurumaru, stretching his hand forward, his sleeves falling to reveal a bloodless wrist.
Shirasu Gawa moved his lips but no sound came out. Tsurumaru Kuninaga recognized that he was saying:
[Field expansion - there is a sky above the sky]
Oh? Isn't that the name of his field?
"Shirasugawa" was still smiling at him.
so……
“He” wants to act opposite me?
Tsurumaru Kuninaga thought: I have never encountered such a situation before!
His domain is lethal, but he has never used it to kill anyone. He is the master of the domain, so no matter how he plays with it, he will not be hurt.
The sudden appearance of the "Shinsen" surprised him for a moment, but life without shocks is meaningless! He likes such little surprises!
Tsurumaru extended his hand.
He did not take the usual approach and instead pinched the other's wrist.
He smiled and said: Accept the invitation.

[Selected: Morning Dew's Past]
[This is a place that Tsurumaru Kuninaga has never been to, at least for him.
No one could see him except a little baby.
The place speaks an incomprehensible language and has a familiar yet completely different culture. Tsurumaru Kuninaga learns everything with curiosity and happily accompanies the "Little Shinsengumi" as he grows up.
He also learned how to write the three words "Baisuchuan" in ancient Chinese.
The horrified face of the little kid when he realizes that no one can see him and initially thinks he is a ghost is really hilarious!
I don't know if it's because of this, but the child is a little startled, but he has learned to pretend to be calm. Tsurumaru Kuninaga thinks this "little adult" is so interesting, and scares him every now and then, but he always believes it...
Time passed quickly. At least Tsurumaru Kuninaga felt that the baby grew bigger in the time it took him to stretch.
Most of the time he treated Shirasu as a child, he didn't teach him anything, just chatted with him occasionally. He also tried to wander around, this illusion was incredibly real, it was like another complete world!
He watched the child grow into a serious teenager with a stern face, and then into a gentleman with a friendly smile. The young man in white was as bright as a jade tree in the wind.
When the young man stood under the willow tree and looked back at the "god" that only he could see, he smiled from afar and said to the god who always lied to him: "Are you going out again? See you next time."
The girls who witnessed this scene turned their heads away shyly.
Only Tsurumaru Kuninaga knows that this person is not as calm as he seems. Even if the child grows up, he is still a coward! He is always timid when making decisions, worried about the consequences, and living an uncomfortable life!
Putting aside the filters of loyalty, devotion and love, Tsurumaru Kuninaga can define this kind of character as "cowardly".
"It's quite interesting," Tsurumaru Kuninaga thought, "At least it's not boring to watch this kind of thing."
Although such a Shinsengumi was not enough to impress him.
It seemed like just a blink of an eye, the sky and the earth darkened for a moment, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga found Shirasuga again. He had become a Shinsengumi of the Time Government.
This illusion was a bit fake compared to the previous one, but I could still immerse myself in it.
This time, Bai Suchuan couldn't see him.
Time, which was flowing faster than poured water, slowed down at this moment.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga turned into a transparent man, watching Shirasuga's transformation from a genius who was proficient in literature and calligraphy to a Shinsengumi with humble spiritual power and mediocre abilities.
He met different Tsukumogami step by step as fate would have it, and his cowardly character seemed to have no effect on him. After all, he was in the stable Honmaru, and all the swordsmen secretly doted on him.
"What about me?" Tsurumaru Kuninaga asked curiously, not knowing who to ask.
"When will I appear?"
Tsurumaru Kuninaga does not exist in this drama.
On the first day that Shirasu became a Shinsengumi, he fell in love with collecting swords, and appreciating them brought him endless pleasure. So even though his spiritual power was limited, he still insisted on expending his body to forge swords, and collected all the common or rare famous swords.
But he didn't meet Tsurumaru Kuninaga...
He had heard of this famous sword handed down from the Heian period, and he was extremely eager for it. He didn't know why, but he didn't want to miss this sword. But he never got it in his life...

Bai Qichuan disappeared in the illusion, and the blood color on the face of the young man in the field faded a little, but he still maintained a compassionate smile, as if he was enduring pain, or as if he suddenly realized something.
"I don't want to..."
Tsurumaru Kuninaga interrupted and said, "I don't like this ending."
But this shouldn't be jealousy...
Even though he just said that he didn't love Bai Qichuan, don't delay him! But if he didn't even exist, he would feel very uncomfortable!
Unable to ignore the depression in his chest, he fought for control of the domain and replaced the illusion led by Shirasu Kawa:
Uncontrollably, his spell power was faster than his brain, and by the time he realized something was wrong, the surroundings had already changed as he wished...
#This is the first illusion he had after realizing the expansion of the domain#
[Just like in reality, Tsurumaru Kuninaga appeared in Honmaru at the beginning of Shirasu River's tenure. He gave the Shinsengumi a huge fur ball of the same style as her clothes, secretly took her out, and confessed to her...
After experiencing the test of life and death, the Shinsengumi collected all the swords scattered in the world, completed the mission, and returned to Honmaru with his partner...
Until the end of the human Shinsengumi's life, the loyal Fusangshen will stay by his side.
In the end, he willingly became this master—also the burial object of the only lover of his long life...]
It is more realistic than the scene controlled by "Shirasugawa", and more like what is most likely to happen if the White-haired Tsukumogami has not terminated the contract.
This is the beauty that Shirasuga longs for, and it is also the expectation that Tsurumaru Kuninaga has hidden in his heart and forgotten.
Cracks appeared in the beautiful and classical picture, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga used his ten fingers to tear the illusion into pieces!
The smile on his face disappeared completely.
He looked at Shirasuka mockingly: "Who are you? A shikigami sent by the government of time? A trick played by a sorcerer?"
"Why? Was that what you wanted to see?"
When Tsurumaru Kuninaga thought about how he had just followed the wishes of "Shirasugawa" and presented a happy scene to the Time Government or the sorcerer behind it, he felt so sick that he wanted to vomit!
"You want to control me with these?"
The noble and pure temperament of the white-haired young man was mixed with impurities, and his mocking smile made him look not like a god, but a fallen demon! Indeed, he was already half cursed!
"Do you still think I can't bear to leave him?"
"Do you think that when I see his face, I will become a dog that has finally found its home, following its master everywhere and wagging its tail?"
He selectively ignored the fact that the ending of "becoming a burial companion" was something he had imagined when he was already half cursed. Now he was furious and attributed all his unusual thoughts to the manipulation he had been subjected to! When he saw Bai Suchuan again, he only remembered that he had been fooled!
The cursed spirit is the embodiment of malice. When the pure and kind swordsman loses the long-term nourishment of spiritual power and relies on curses to nourish himself, even the most noble and pure crane will become extreme and dark!
"Next time you want to test me, use a real person!"
He pinched the fake "Shirasu-chuan" angrily: "This fake look, looking at me with this kind of eyes, just makes me want to vomit!"
The "Bai Sugawa" in the palm of his hand was like a ball of sand. With his fierce pinch, it exploded and shattered, disappearing without a trace!
The only person left beside Tsurumaru Kuninaga was the unconscious Yasakiri Hasebe.
But the feeling of being invaded and spied on is even worse!
“It” hasn’t left yet? “It” is still here?
Plop——
Tsurumaru Kuninaga repeated the action he had done countless times before - raising his hand and pressing his heart.
Plop, plop——
Something gentle and terrible has awakened!
Dense and sour feelings crept into his heart, like the gnawing of ants, injecting soul-stirring and bone-eating acid, breaking his soul apart, crushing it, and throwing it on the fire to roast!
Tsurumaru Kuninaga pressed the disobedient organ hard. Since the contract was released, the emotions he had dreamed of came without warning, disrupting his original mood!
It was so strange! It was as if a heavy rain had poured down on his head, sadness, pain, despair, mixed with a fine and dense bitterness, and the thing in his chest kept throbbing with pain, so uncomfortable that even he, who had a strong physique, felt like vomiting!
The air around me seemed to become thinner because of the constant pain, and every breath I took could be the last!
This is...
Is this sadness...?
Tsurumaru Kuninaga hunched over, looking at Shirasuga, who was three meters away with tears streaming down his face, and wanted to ask him something.
This time, Shirasu's expression was more real than any other! More vivid than the reality that Tsurumaru Kuninaga had constructed, and more real than the Shirasu who had only smiled at him just now! So real that he even felt that the arrival of the unconscious original body mentioned by Yasuke Hasebe was nothing more than this!
But he couldn't be real.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga wiped away the tears on his face expressionlessly and looked at Shirasuka's feet.
From the knees down, including the clothes, it looks like the hazy scenery behind the mist, and the painter was even too lazy to outline the edges clearly!
"What...is...this...trick?" Tsurumaru Kuninaga asked through gritted teeth.
He had thought about it and tested it before. He could still feel joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and he would also feel disgusted with "being buried with others", "being robbed", "long-term boredom", etc. So he believed that what he lost was only the loyalty bound by the contract with Shirasu Chuan, and the love derived from it...
But this surging sadness almost overwhelmed his reason! Even since he was born in the Heian period, he had never experienced this before!
No, maybe he had experienced it, but this feeling was also forgotten by him along with "love"...
"Ha, huhuha..." Tsurumaru Kuninaga forced a smile, "That's all you can do..."?
ah!
The moment he raised his head, he was almost speechless! He looked at the Shinsengumi who ignored his legs and could make it look almost real!
So true, so true...
The look in Shirasu's eyes...
That look...
Broken eyes.
The overturned glass cup, the stars in the cup also poured out. His tearful eyes turned into Tsurumaru Kuninaga's long-term nightmare.
This human doesn't even need to move, he can defeat the Tsukumogami who is almost as powerful as a top-grade cursed spirit just by using this terrifying spell!
How terrible!
Even though he hadn't said a word so far, every tear of his was filled with moving bitterness, and even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were telling how much love hurts, how much pain he suffers...
Get out! Get out!
Tsurumaru Kuninaga tried his best to drive out the "Shirasugawa", and even suspected that all this was caused by Yakiri Hasebe! Get rid of them! Get rid of them all!
However, the abnormality in the field did disappear, but his heart did not slow down!
Why!
He has completely regained control of the domain. This is the safest place. Why is the terrible magic still working?
Why hasn't his sadness disappeared?
He doesn't want to get back the lost part!
He doesn't want to experience this!

This prompt appeared on Jiang Jiu's game panel. Bai Qichuan had not yet recovered from the tearing pain, and the lost player had to accept this reality - his limited-time mission had failed.
The panicked Tsukumogami finally saw that the spiritual power was gathering together again and was injected into the dried body of the Shinsengumi bit by bit.
His pale face visibly regained its color, but there was more sadness between his brows, as if he was enduring unbearable pain.
Great! I don't know what happened, but I'm glad that the lord is okay!
Wu Hu Tui hugged the tiger and thought with tears in his eyes.
It's a pity that the judge still hasn't woken up...
I don't know where Hasebe-dono is. When he comes back, I must report the lord's situation to him in time!
That night, the boy who took care of the Shinsengumi and wiped the young man's body with a short sword held the Shinsengumi's smooth and lifeless calf, trembling to the point of being speechless...
