Chapter 26: Cultivation Day 26
Chapter 26
In her short undercover career, Kanako actually only did the very first thing in terms of revealing intelligence.
That is: before following the navigation to look for Geto Suguru, he left his student ID and broken glasses near the station he had just crossed over to.
Kanako's time travel was essentially the result of a cursed spirit activating a technique, and it was a special-grade cursed spirit. The remaining cursed power left at the station would definitely attract the attention of the cursed world.
Once they search the station and find that they cannot find the real body of the cursed spirit at all, they will go to find the invincible "Six-Eyed Perspective Reconnaissance Machine" (nicknamed by Kanako) - Gojo Satoru!
Once Gojo Satoru finds the things she left behind and sees with his own eyes the remnants of cursed energy condensed within them, he'll gradually understand everything...
Good, let's cut back to reality.
Looking at the low-level cursed spirits running around in panic, Kanako seriously considered whether she should also put up a symbolic resistance.
Noose had already run away without leaving any trace, and the cunning real person followed closely behind and disappeared on the spot. Only Louhu was left with a ferocious look on his face, and a large crater above his head was spewing lava.
Louhu is here! It faces Gojo Satoru head-on!
Kanako munched on Jurei brand sunflower seeds in amazement, applauding Louhu's courage and striving to be a frontline reporter reporting in real time:
Louhu cast a spell whose name she didn't know, and suddenly, there were explosions all around as if firecrackers were set off at the same time. Thick smoke covered the sky above the entire warehouse, and also bought a huge amount of time for Luosuo and others to retreat for several seconds!
The explosion was like fireworks, with a first-rate visual effect. Kanako once again praised Rokuko's performance spirit.
And then… and then nothing happened. Gojo Satoru's "No Limits" technique passively blocked all attacks, and the technique formed by his fingertips reversed, "He" completely crushing the lava and flames...
It was shot down to the ground, creating a rubble with a diameter of one kilometer.
Louhu went up, and it went up without hesitation! ...and was killed instantly with one move.
Louhu retreated to the back holding his broken body, and ran into the worried Hanamichi and... Kanako who was still gnawing on the cursed spirit.
Louhu: ???
It's so late and you're still eating! Lou Hu was furious and shouted, "Go away!"
When Kanako heard it was her turn to perform, she immediately dropped the cursed spirit she had chewed, wiped her mouth, and replied with a look of grief and anger: "No! I won't leave!"
While wiping his mouth, he wiped the corners of his tearless eyes and said in an impassioned tone, "I promised you that I would kill Gojo Satoru!"
"Now, that bastard has come to my doorstep. With such a good opportunity, how can he possibly run away!?" Kanako took a few steps forward, leaving Louhu with a meaningful back view that he had to rely on his own imagination to understand.
"Run away, don't worry about me. Even if I'm at a disadvantage in the confrontation, I will never reveal your information!"
"The worst case scenario is a one-for-one self-destruction, dragging Gojo Satoru down to hell together!" Kanako said.
"Impossible." Hanamiya retorted harshly while releasing a technique to distract Gojo Satoru.
"I won't... abandon my compatriots, Kanako." A small illusion of flowers and grass gradually materialized beneath Hanami's feet. "If you want to leave, let's leave together."
Louhu gritted his teeth and echoed, "We still need your strength to complete the great cause... How can we let you sacrifice in vain!?"
Kanako pursed her lips and lowered her head tremblingly: ...
The two special-grade cursed spirits thought that Kanako was struggling between the options of sacrifice or escape, but in fact... Kanako's shoulders rose and fell, and she bit her lips and tried hard to hold back her laughter.
Help! Let her go! If you don't let her go, she'll burst out laughing!
The system was filled with confusion: [Wait? Why are you holding back your laughter? Why does the appearance of Gojo Satoru in this parallel world seem like a hidden boss?]
System: [And what's going on: What about compatriots, sacrifice... Aren't they curses?! Why do these cursed spirits speak so righteously?! Is Gojo Satoru the villain after all?!?]
The system was so confused that it almost collapsed: [Isn't this a world similar to a shonen manga? Who is the good guy and who is the villain?!]
Ah, I figured it out.
Kanako, who is good at learning knowledge from major magazines, light novels and evening TV dramas, finally thought of the next lines.
She calmly stepped into the illusion created by Hua Yu, as if she had made up her mind: "Since I was born, I have warned myself to always follow my heart, never lie, and never lie... unless I can't help it."
Ignoring the last sentence that revealed her true feelings, Kanako gradually entered the stage of euphoria: "So what I said, Kanako, is that once you say something, it can't be taken back. Now I can feel a special energy driving me forward. Perhaps this is my mission."
After she finished speaking, Kanako paused for a second, slowly turned her head, and gave a relieved smile to Rougo and Hanami.
"To create a world filled with cursed spirits, you must work hard. We will definitely meet again."
The words ended there, and Kanako continued to smile.
Turning her head, she rushed straight towards Gojo Satoru alone, shouting something like "friendship, bond, future", and never looked back.
"...Hanagi, let's go." Louhu suppressed the anger and sadness in his heart, watched Kanako's back as she rushed into the smoke, thinking that this might be the last time she would see them.
Although the time they spent together was short, as a companion of the cursed spirit, Louhu understood Kanako's feelings and at the same time, respected her choice.
"I think I will never forget her in my life." Louhu said this and left with Hua Yu with great emotion.

Two hours after Gojo Satoru left without permission, Ijichi Jiegao finally received a text message from Gojo Satoru.
During the two hours, he was extremely busy, finding all kinds of excuses and roundabout ways to deal with the higher-ups' questions about "Where on earth did Gojo Satoru go!?"
He shed tears like a worker and excitedly clicked on the message.
Gojo Satoru: (＾Ｕ＾)ノ~ Yo, I'm not planning on coming back tonight. I'll be back to the technical high school tomorrow morning. I'll leave it to you, Ichichi, to explain things to those idiots~
Ijichi Jiegao experienced a great deal of emotional ups and downs: ...
Don’t do this kind of thing! Mr. Gojo!!!
"Where were we just now?" Gojo Satoru turned off his phone, pulled the black mask covering his glasses, and looked at the person across the table with a helpless look on his face. "Oh, speaking of which, the way you suddenly rushed over was really hilarious. You're such a talented actor!"
"Come to think of it, you're such a big eater..." Gojo Satoru held up his chin as he heard the restaurant staff exclaim in disbelief, "Gojo—Kanako?"
Kanako, who hadn't eaten human food for a long time, had no time to pay attention to the comments from the outside world. She finished a bowl of rice in two or three bites, and her mouth was full of food from beginning to end.
I found the time to reply, "Oh, you found my student ID, right? That's very convenient. I won't say any more nonsense. If you have any questions, just ask directly!"
Kanako took the initiative on the spot.
Seeing that Kanako seemed to have no interest in anything except eating, Gojo Satoru quickly regained his composure, ignoring her terrifying appetite.
He sat back in his chair and relaxed. "Kanako isn't from this world, is she? She came from another world?"
He hit the nail on the head. Kanako nodded and gestured, indicating that he should speak first, and she would explain it all in one breath after she had eaten enough.
"I'm very curious about the relationship between Kanako and I in that world. First of all, I can definitely rule out blood relationship," Gojo Satoru said. "Of course, this is just my curiosity. You don't need to explain it too clearly. After all, everyone has their own secrets."
He raised his lips slightly and said, "As for me, from the moment I first saw the remnant of cursed energy belonging to 'me' on my student ID, I believed that Kanako was 'my' companion."
Kanako ate until she was about eight-tenths full. She glanced at the overly hot gazes around her and the word "gaze" reminded her of the stories of the past few days.
Under the watchful eyes of Nozomi and the special cursed spirits, Kanako has always been playing the role of a cursed being, and she once worried that she would be exposed.
Why do I say slightly... Because Kanako only acted for a short while, she was not acting most of the time.
It's sincere.jpg
System: [??? Wait a minute?]
Kanako stopped eating, wiped her hands, and finally got to the point: "Gojo Satoru, what happened to Geto Suguru in your world?"
"Dead," Gojo Satoru said, "Killed by my own hands."
Kanako: "?"
Gojo Satoru answered very quickly. Although he did not show any sadness or anger, the system still felt the change in his aura.
It was as if a unique low-pressure environment had formed around it. The system was still shocked by the fact that "the Geto Suguru of this world was already dead." After a while, it realized belatedly that the low pressure was only increasing.
System: […It’s Kanako!! It’s Kanako’s murderous intent! It’s almost taking shape!!]
It was Gojo Satoru who spoke up first, pointing out Kanako's state. He quickly calmed down and changed the subject, saying in a relaxed tone, "Now that we're done with dinner, it's time for dessert. I know a shop that has amazing sweets!"
"But that guy who gathered three special-grade cursed spirits is using Geto Suguru's shell." Kanako finished all her speculations in one breath, "I understand now... Geto is dead, so this bastard is taking over Geto's shell."
Kanako recalled the time when she met Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, when a cursed spirit related to magic and fantasy once unknowingly proposed to live in her body.
Since even cursed spirits have the ability to do this, Kanako felt that the bastard must have used some special method.
"He's full of lies... Xiaojie is not that kind of person! I've been sulking alone for days, and I'm still angry now!" Kanako said angrily, "Gojo Satoru, take off your eyepatch first!"
Faced with such a sudden request, Gojo Satoru obediently pulled off the black hood, and Kanako stared at the pair of blue eyes seriously with her red eyes.
"Very good, I can confirm that you are Gojo Satoru." Kanako said, "The first time I saw that impostor's eyes, I knew he was not Xiaojie."
"Because he opened his eyes wide?" asked Gojo Satoru.
“??? Is this the only reason you can think of first?” Kanako was furious.
Wait, that's not the point.
The system finally realized: [...You figured it out from the beginning? How come I didn't know! I thought you were just cultivating your skills alongside Geto Suguru in another world!]
Kanako ignored the system's words and continued, "And then... because my physique is rather special, I can be called a human, and I'm also related to the cursed spirits. So I blended in with them and have been waiting for you at the base camp."
"You, Gojo Satoru—" Kanako pointed at him, "I believe that if you pick up that student ID and see the cursed power on it, you'll be able to find the base camp!"
"Then wipe out the base camp...especially that imposter in one fell swoop! I know you can do it!" Kanako said confidently, "Because you are the strongest right now."
"Just like me~!" Kanako turned her hand and pointed at herself.
"Puchi." Gojo Satoru laughed out loud, stood up to pay the bill, and half pushed and half dragged Kanako out of the hotel.
On the way to the sweet shop, Gojo Satoru muttered to himself, "Kanako... well, that's a catchy name. Gojo is a good last name... If the high school wants a new student, I'll call Ijichi and have him prepare a full set of daily necessities."
Kanako didn't bother to care about what he was thinking. She anxiously added, "That imposter in Gon's shell can use Gon's techniques. I'll write down the appearance, characteristics, and abilities of the three special-grade cursed spirits for you after I finish eating them. Once I've sorted out the intelligence and organized the manpower... this way, we can get rid of the villain in advance."
"There's one last thing, Gojo Satoru." Kanako followed up with a questioning question: "Aren't you angry?"
Gojo Satoru took steady steps forward. "Yes, I've been angry the whole time."
"Besides my cursed energy, your student ID also has Gon's," Gojo Satoru said slowly. "Thanks to Gon's remaining cursed energy, I was able to track you down and find your location."
"The moment I sensed the residual cursed energy of Gon, I knew there was an imposter, and I got really, really angry!"
Twelve years have passed, and his figure has become much taller than when he was in technical high school, making it more difficult for Kanako to look up every time. She looks at Gojo Satoru, who has become an adult, and inexplicably feels a sense of disharmony.
Then she realized that the disharmony came from Gojo Satoru's back. Kanako felt that his habit of walking in front on his own was not good.
What a bad habit!
Kanako thought: Gojo Satoru could be walking side by side with Geto Suguru, could be playing childishly with Geto Suguru, or could be walking together with his classmates... To put it another way, he could also deliberately use the "No Bottom Line" technique to tease her and lift her up into the sky.
But... you shouldn't be alone.
"Tell me the cause of Gon's death." Kanako said with a serious expression, "I won't let this happen."
【Author’s words】
Me writing the first half of the chapter: Laughing non-stop
I wrote the second half of the chapter: "Traveling Kanako Listens to Spoilers in the Future"
I've come up with a tentative mechanism for adding chapters: no matter what (collection count or nutrient solution) reaches 500, I'll add another chapter =w=. The collection count starts at 3000, and the nutrient solution count starts at 0. I don't think there will be too many people participating. I'll put it here first, and it will always be valid.
Thank you to the little angels who voted for me or provided me with nutrient solution between 2023-11-27 15:46:34 and 2023-11-28 17:37:30~
Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: Henan 16 bottles; poor me 15 bottles; dEVKxkBt, Luo 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
