Chapter 234
"I, I can't go - I can't leave, I can't go." The third brother was actually answering me in a hurry, which made me realize what was on his mind.
After he and Koyuki fell in love under the fireworks, he returned to Edo on the eve of his wedding to sweep his father's grave in order to inform his father in heaven of the good news that he was about to get married.
When he came back, everything had changed. His beloved master and his fiancée were poisoned by someone from the martial arts arena next door and both died.
That's why he lost his mind and killed 67 people with his bare hands. He eventually lost himself and after being spotted by a scumbag boss, he was directly kidnapped to the ghost camp.
And then came what happened later. Komaharu, who had no memory, became Inoueza, and climbed up step by step to the position of Upper Rank Three until today.
The source of all his strength lies in his obsession, after all, he himself has no memory at all.
So, does the third brother, whose memory is confused, have some kind of PTSD due to the words "back" and "past"?
The light in my hand became brighter. I still had some advantages in this dimension of power. Against evil weapons, "Someone is waiting for you to come back. It's not too late. But if you don't come back, you'll have to repeat the same mistake."
My tone was light, but the content of my words touched the most vulnerable part of Third Brother's heart.
All of a sudden, his tightly wrinkled brows relaxed, and his body seemed to tremble. I didn't feel it obviously, and then he spat a mouthful of ghost blood on me.
The pink background was immediately stained with blood, as if to reveal something. The third brother looked at the kimono foolishly, and when he looked up again, the words in his eyes had been hidden like the fourth.
Logically speaking, demons at their level should have a certain ability to mimic other things, especially the numbers in their eyes. The Upper Four can hide them, not to mention demons of higher levels like them.
The golden pupils were shining, and there seemed to be some kind of emotion written in them, but it was very complicated and I felt that I didn’t quite understand it.
His next reaction almost made me spit out water——
“… Snow (ゆき)?” The sound was a little sour and astringent, like the feeling of grinding sand with a grinding wheel - it is difficult to describe it directly with words.
If I have to say it, I can only sum it up in one sentence - the voice actors are all from the monster series.
The third brother's mood and condition have stabilized. I'm not sure how much the memory has been opened, but when he said this...
I lowered my head and looked at my kimono. I thought about how I had just embraced him and patted his head - substitute literature?
Xiao Chou...Oh no, the Stand user is actually me?
My face twisted, the corners of my mouth twitched, and the ends of my eyebrows twitched as well.
This is not just a question of substitute literature. Am I still a green tea girl? How can I be a third party?
No, I am a CP fan, how can I get in between the CP!
CP fans will never give in!
I looked serious and was about to retort when I saw that my third brother still had his hand on my kimono, trying to pull the sleeves. However, he was a little shy and knelt on the ground with his head raised. His puppy eyes could not be hidden by his ridiculously long eyelashes.
I felt like something had poked my XP all of a sudden, my words got stuck in my mouth, and suddenly I felt like I couldn't utter a strong denial.
The third brother is now very unstable, just like a mentally fragile person. It is difficult to judge which action will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
What if...
I simply cut off my own way out.
Yes, that's right. I prepared myself mentally, since he didn't say the whole name just now.
I can just add a few more things to it and that's it.
What ntr? I'm just a delicate little flower, the fruit of love raised by the third brother and his wife, do you understand?
My reaction to making up lies is getting faster and faster now, ahhhhhhh - there is really not a single truth coming out of my mouth now.
I secretly covered my face in my heart. I really made up a crystal of love out of thin air. But this is better than interfering with my CP.
Having made up my mind, I quickly said with a bit of surprise before my third brother could react, "Mr. Komaji, did you remember the name that Miss Koiyuki had given me? It's just a flower, but you two still remember it..."
Thinking about it carefully, I remember that the "Xiyue" in Wang Xiyue is also pronounced as "ゆき", which fully proves that this word can be translated into many meanings and is completely feasible.
Isn't it normal for Lian Xue to grow some flowers to pass the time as she is in poor health? Isn't it also normal that among these flowers there happens to be the reincarnation of the blue spider lily?
I am the gift of kind people.
After all, I don't have to become a human every time I reincarnate. When the plot requires it, what's wrong with turning into a flower? I'm not even bothered by women's clothing now. Just kidding, what's there to be unacceptable about?
"Our...flowers?" The third brother was in a trance for a moment, and then at this moment when he couldn't figure out what was going on, he looked at my clothes and the bloodstains on them, and quickly accepted this setting, "Blue flowers, mine and Lian Xue's...flowers."
I feel a little dazed for no reason. I'm so awesome!
This is completely the setting of a loyal dog. That's right, accept the setting I have instilled in you, Third Brother!
I slowed down for a few seconds, mainly because my legs were numb because I had been in that position for too long. Although the third brother is not tall, he is really heavy.
Just when I was struggling over whether to summon the scumbag boss or the singing girl to help me get a new set of clothes, the third brother squatted down with his back to me and silently signaled to me.
Want to carry me?
Shit, I remember this is what Third Brother and Lian Xue always did, right?
It won’t work. I’m sure it won’t work.
I already feel like I'm on the edge of a NTR.
"It's getting dark, Wu Pou-sama... Wu Pou will probably find other ghosts to try the "medicine" you made soon. We have to leave here quickly." He didn't look back at me, but what he said was very important.
What, you're going to fuck me soon?!
Without thinking too much, I jumped up decisively. I knew my physical condition very well and it was more important to save my life. Now was not the time to consider whether to do it or not.
As expected, Third Brother and his friends were people who frequently went to Infinite City, and they easily found the "door" to leave. A large amount of my abilities were injected into Third Brother's body, and it became a subtle barrier according to my will, isolating the trash boss from unilateral control over him.
Because of the special nature of my ability, I was able to easily accomplish what Tamayo had been planning for a long time. Naruto is the personal secretary of the scumbag boss, but she is not as powerful and influential as the third brother, so she naturally won't use her ability to spy on the third brother's whereabouts.
So naturally, I slipped away right under the nose of that scumbag boss.
Learn from me what it means to be in the dark under the lamp.
I can imagine what the scumbag boss's expression will be like afterwards. He must be shocked and angry. The blue spider lily that he got is gone. Then he will inevitably find someone to vent his temper on, right?
You won't just lay off the senior employees this time, right?
I'm dying of laughter. Is this how a big boss looks like?
He only takes out his anger on his subordinates.
But let me be honest, you, scumbag, instigated a member of the Demon Slayer Corps to steal me here, and I instigated an upper-rank member to steal me back. That's not too much, is it? It's clearly a reciprocity, and it's fair.
As for the former team member...his death was the boss's own fault and has nothing to do with me.
The moment I left the Infinite City, the aura of that repressive evil suddenly weakened, as if my infinitely activated abilities had finally had a chance to rest.
The green hair that shone like stars in the dark night began to fade, and the light on my body also began to fade. At the same time, this power absorbed all the "choker" left by the scum boss on my neck and the blood sprayed by the third brother, and finally merged into my body.
Then I felt that I had more strength and my body seemed to be stronger. Even the fatigue after the continuous torment disappeared completely.
My god, why did this setting come so quickly? Is it because Boss Xia is the ghost king, so all settings related to ghosts will be directly accepted by the world consciousness when they come out of him?
Now I’m really going to eat a ghost!
I held Third Brother's neck a little tighter with my hands, mainly because I couldn't spread my legs under the kimono, so the posture of carrying someone on my back was already very delicate.
I always felt like I was slipping further and further down, plus Third Brother's speed - I felt like it was a northern spring breeze, slapping me in the face.
But I also know that this is all for my safety. Although the scum boss is a little scared, he is still the big boss after all. When he is not suffering from PTSD, he is still a hero. His strength is indeed beyond doubt. It is really a fool's dream to let the third brother fight with him.
He might have been taking care of my physical condition. This speed was far from his peak, and he even had the energy to talk to me.
The content of the conversation was not unexpected at all, and was still related to his past memories.
I didn't answer directly, but asked, "Actually... Miss Koiyuki didn't turn into a ghost, did she?"
Just a little test to see to what extent his memory has been recovered.
He was silent for a few seconds before he uttered the answer from his throat, "I, I just think she shouldn't become what I am now, but, but——"
"But, who does that name belong to? Lian Xue, Lian Xue--" The third brother chewed on the name over and over again. The memories that poured out like a torrent at that time gave him many fragmented memories, but none of them could be connected into a line.
If this situation happened to someone else, they would not risk everything and betray their scumbag boss with such passion just to steal me out because of a few fragmented memories and feelings.
This is a dead end for ghosts.
But the third brother is different. His life seems to always be on a one-way street - Accelerator, understand?
Ever since Master Qingzang pulled him back from the brink of sin, he no longer saw any other way.
In simple terms, he is a stubborn person who can do whatever it takes for his own "way" - how come he feels more loyal?!
Even after becoming a ghost, even when he couldn't remember anything, his subconscious mind continued to blame himself. He blamed himself not only for not protecting his family and loved ones, but also for impulsively returning to his original sinful path.
Like mist covering your eyes.
This is also the reason why I chose San Ge. He is so easy to fool. He really believes whatever I say.
But because I myself realized this, whatever I said would directly affect Third Brother’s memory, so I decided to talk as little as possible.
Regarding San Ge's past, it only takes up a few pages in the comics, so it's impossible to summarize it all. There are some daily routines that I simply cannot guarantee are free of logical errors.
If there are any contradictions or if it exposes some mistakes of the times, then the loss will be greater than the gain.
So, when my third brother wanted to hear more about the hidden past, I had only one answer.
“Some things only have real meaning when you pick them up again.”
Well, you have to figure it out yourself, let me tell you?
I'm afraid I'll say something wrong.
Go ahead and be logical, Pokémon Brother 3!
