Chapter 84: Day 84 of Cultivation
Chapter 84
"Wait a minute, Masamune." Kanako said in a commanding tone.
Masato immediately quieted down and turned back, his smile changing from sarcasm to an extremely innocent and warm one: "No problem, Kanako."
Its attitude towards other people is completely different from that towards Kanako, and its double standards are becoming increasingly apparent.
Kanako walked up to Yuji Kaori and asked calmly, "Why did you use the word 'cowardly'?"
"How do you judge...that I'm a coward?" Kanako asked carefully.
Kaori Itadori raised her eyebrows slightly.
It turned out that she was offended by a negative adjective.
[Kanako: Since you are a mother, why do you use little Yuujin? ]
"Why can't a biological mother use her own child?" Kaori Itadori asked specifically.
[Kanako: Is your love for your child a pretense?]
"And my opinion remains unchanged—it's you who have set rather harsh standards for love."
"My love for Yuuhito doesn't conflict with my use of him as a vessel for Ryoumen Sukuna."
"Your thinking sounds extremely simplistic. Good is good, bad is bad. While such a perspective might be considered compassionate at best, it's cowardly to me."
Kaori Itadori noticed that the spell binding her had loosened slightly. She suppressed her surprise and continued with the conversation.
"The human mindset in this world is mostly self-centered. We use material things to satisfy basic needs, entertainment to gain momentary pleasure, and connections with others to build the most lasting...emotions."
"Everything can be a tool, and I am just me." Kaori Itadori gently pinched her fingers.
"So I am willing to do anything for myself...to satisfy my curiosity, change the world, and even make the world my enemy." Kaori Itadori lowered her eyes.
"Of course, what I call cowardice is just my subjective assessment of you. It has nothing to do with who you are, but rather who I think you are."
Kanako tapped her chin with her finger, lost in thought.
After pondering in vain, she looked at Gojo Satoru and Fushiguro Shinobu for confirmation... then realized that it would be better not to ask them.
Then he looked at Fushiguro Megumi again with full trust: "Xiaohui, please find a translator in the same language."
"Why do I, a person who has never attended elementary school, have to explain things every time..." Fushiguro Megumi was speechless, but still did it.
"She was cursing you, and then revealed that her goal was to destroy the world just for fun."
Itadori Kaori:?
How did her previously enigmatic lines become such a summary that left no room for suspense and riddles?
"I see." Kanako sighed, "So what Brain Flower-chan meant was that she thought I would be defeated by a small word, and now she still thinks she has the chance to destroy the world."
Megumi Fushiguro: "...Brain Flower-chan?"
A new nickname was born.
Kanako: "I'm just curious about how Brainflower-chan thinks... Now she sounds a bit pretentious."
Commonly known as arrogance.
But it’s not a big problem. Guys who become stronger are more or less arrogant.
"But this kind of arrogance has different levels," Kanako said vindictively. "For example, in front of me, no one can speak over me and say something about how I'm the only one who's superior!"
Gojo Satoru pointed at himself in confusion.
"Do you see that cursed spirit over there? It's my pet. Even after the probation period and becoming a regular employee, it will always be just a pet," said Kanako.
The real person tilted his head and racked his brains for a moment, then blurted out, "Great!"
Even Yuji Kaori started to complain: "...This is not a compliment to you."
Real person: "It's okay, I love this way of saying it."
Itadori Kaori: “…”
Kanako: "You see, that's why I often do things that go against morality."
She thought for a moment and added seriously, "Occasionally breaking the rules."
The system is about to break down: ...always, every moment!
"Throw away all the adjectives that define humans, like kindness and cowardice. They are meaningless to me because I believe I am supreme."
"Don't even think about ppting me!" Kanako said sternly.
System: That word is pua.
Kanako told everything with an expressionless face.
She folded her arms, her bright red eyes still clear.
Unlike usual, people can see a childlike purity on her face, and can also catch a glimpse of an aura that far exceeds her age.
"I will respect everything, including you. From my point of view, the biggest reason why you are a villain, Brain Flower-chan, is because you are my enemy - that's all."
"I always feel like I'm the heroine of a comic book (world), and I still think so now, so one day there will be a decisive battle between me and the villain."
"I understand, but I absolutely don't agree with your thinking. I won't try to persuade you, whitewash you, or try to reconcile you. I'm just waiting for the day of our fight to the death."
"I won't judge anything about you. There's only winning and losing. This is the simplicity I uphold."
"After all, just because I understand a lot of things doesn't mean I have to tell you everything! That would sound boring and long-winded, and I hate preaching the truth the most!!"
Kanako turned her back and hummed twice very loudly and proudly.
"Go ahead, real one."
The real person asked: "Do you want to kill him directly?"
Gojo Satoru suggested, "Just keep her half-dead. Don't expect her to be able to sober up and spill all the information."
Kanako affirmed: "That's right, we can't just think about catching the enemy every day without destroying her like in the comics, which will lead to her escaping!"
"Okay." The real person's arms transformed into two sharp scimitars.
At this moment, a strange image suddenly flashed through his mind, and the real person subconsciously repeated it.
"I don't know why... Whenever I see her, I get so angry, as if she's going to kill me in a very painful way somewhere..." Masato said, "No, it's a purification~"
The color of the Wanli Lock on Kaori Itadori suddenly became bright and dark.
She also seized this opportunity and suddenly used the "anti-gravity mechanism" that was born with this body.
The interference of gravity was originally limited to a single individual, but when combined with the reversal technique to shorten the technique's cooling time, and the forward rotation technique to expand the gravity range, the effect will become completely different.
In the half second that gravity dragged out, a shallow suture scar appeared on Yuji Kaori's forehead. The scar continued to spread in all directions, and finally...
Kaori Itadori fell down.
When testing her breath, Gojo Satoru confirmed that the person named Itadori Kaori was dead.
It should be that Kaori Itadori's body was already in a state of death before being possessed by another body, and the sutures forcibly supported her life.
The sutures escaped in an unexpected way.
"That girl used some tricks," Gojo Satoru said. "To avoid falling into the hands of someone she couldn't escape from, she used some method to allow her consciousness to leave her current body."
"The brain is still in the same place and may come back at any time." Fushiguro Shigeru watched the Wanli Lock in his hand gradually disappearing, feeling puzzled.
"She can change the state of the cursed tool?"
"Well... Brain Flower-chan isn't that powerful." Kanako touched her nose guiltily. "It's not that the state of the cursed tool has changed, it's that the world has changed."
Kanako nodded in agreement and looked out the window: "Well, the weather is going to change."
Based on her wish reward, different parallel worlds are slowly merging.
First of all, the real person who has a binding relationship with her broke through the world barrier. So, based on this calculation, Kanako guessed that Geto Suguru must have also completed the fusion.
The rules for replacing and filling in the world line changes were as she had thought before, and they were based on Kanako's belief that "everyone should live a happy life."
Also known as the "rule of better solution".
The Wanli Lock and the Soul-Releasing Sword were originally the cursed tools they looted from Fushiguro Shiro, and now they belong to Suguru Geto, so the cursed tools in Fushiguro Shiro's hands will be deleted.
Because it is a "better solution", taking Takeshi Suguru as an example, there will never be another Takeshi Suguru who defected from the high school, nor will there be another Takeshi Suguru whose body is occupied by sutures after death.
Kanako forcefully blocked all the roads that led to an unhappy future, leaving only the one in front of her.
Although there is no guarantee that this is the only way to go on perfectly, Kanako is not troubled by it.
Just keep going, no matter what turns and obstacles there are, that is the effort and price everyone is paying.
As for whether you can achieve a perfect clearance? Don't worry, there will never be a worst-case scenario.
Kanako is very confident about this.
Inside the house, Yuji Itadori woke up and walked out of the room, rubbing his eyes: "Um... why did I fall asleep?"
There was a commotion in the living room.
"What's going on, everyone?" Yuji Itadori looked at the messy house in confusion. "Where's my mom?"
Fortunately, they reacted and moved quickly, getting rid of all the strange things in advance (?).
Kaori Itadori's body will be taken back to the technical high school for storage and research.
Kanako said, "Your mother went back first because of something——"
In short, use white lies to delay the truth.
"His Royal Highness, do you want to go to a school that's right for you?" Kanako asked. "The kind where you can drop out at any time if you don't like it."
"And he was recommended."
*
Geto Suguru, who was sorting out his thoughts in the backstage, felt that the fusion of the worlds was not an easy matter.
He thought it was more like replacement than fusion, and there was no such thing as different world lines disrupting memories.
Kanako sent Yuji Itadori back to his grandfather's house and left his contact information for the high school.
Grandpa Itadori seemed to have guessed something a long time ago and only asked two simple questions where Yuji couldn't hear.
"Will Kaori stay away from my grandson and never interfere in his life again?"
Kanako's answer was, "Yes."
Grandpa was silent for a while, then asked, "Can Hisahito grow up peacefully?"
Gojo Satoru said, "That's natural."
"If you have any questions or emergencies, please feel free to contact us." Kanako added.
Finally, the old man thanked them seriously, and then watched them go away until they disappeared at the end of the road.
Kanako did not follow the large group that arrested "Itadori Kaori" back to the high school.
That evening, she finally arrived with a jar and the real person.
"I just went to the Spirit Master and Mob-kun, and they gave me something!"
Kanako placed a cheap, rustic pot on the ground.
Nanako and Mimiko, who had finished their studies and training, came forward and asked, "Is this the thing?"
Nanako said bluntly, "It's so ugly!"
"The appearance is not the point, the point is what's inside." Kanako opened the lid.
As a thick purple smoke floated out, Nanako and Mimiko immediately sensed the sudden increase in the concentration of cursed energy in the air.
The transformed real person jumped out of the jar and landed steadily on the ground while returning to its original form.
It wiped the corner of its mouth lightly: "It seems that the quantity is not very large, and the experiment is not completed yet..."
It is called a jar, but it is more appropriate to describe it as a small cage for raising insects.
The dimple swore that this thing was best used to increase strength (by devouring other cursed spirits inside), and that it was obtained by accident from a person with special abilities who had gone astray.
Increasing the level doesn’t mean much to Zhenren, but Kanako is attracted by the durability of the cursed spirit in the jar.
And the interior is very small, so there is no need to worry about it escaping. Kanako simply throws the real person who loves to do experiments the most in to play.
As a master in every sense of the word, Kanako was very curious about the specific progress made by the real person whom she had left alone for a long time.
"Do you mean you need to show it off?"
Zhenren thought about it for a while and ran to find Geto Suguru to borrow the technique.
Nanako and Mimiko also ran over to watch.
Geto Suguru stretched out his hand.
"I'm not asking you to use magic on me, I'm asking you to give me two cursed spirit balls that have not been recovered yet!" The real person was eager to prove himself.
It placed two pitch-black cursed orbs in its palms and spoke eloquently, "The fundamental principle of Wuwei transformation is to change the form of the soul. This change will also automatically reflect the shape of the body."
"So as long as we do it right, everything can be changed—"
The real person paused, then handed the curse ball back: "Okay, eat it and see."
Under the gaze of everyone, Geto Xiayou opened his mouth and swallowed the ball in one gulp, just as he had been doing for many years.
Only this time, the nausea-inducing or queasy taste didn't reach my taste buds.
Instead, there was a very strange taste...it could even be called a familiar taste, which Geto Suguru confirmed several times.
He tentatively asked, "Barbecue...barbecue smell?"
The moment the answer rang out, Kanako high-fived him: "That's right! That's it!"
"We've made an epic breakthrough in changing the taste of the Curse Spirit Balls!!!"
Xia Yujie was stunned for a moment: "...You still remember this."
Although Nanako and Mimiko didn't know what happened, they more or less knew something about Geto Suguru's resistance to the process of recovering the cursed spirits.
So after hearing the "smell of barbecue", they all applauded excitedly thinking that Geto Suguru would no longer have to worry about swallowing the cursed spirit ball.
They didn’t forget to praise: “The real person is great!”
"The real person is a chef!"
Kanako snatched away the other cursed spirit ball and took a few bites of it.
"Delicious—" Kanako's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Can you make different flavors in the future?"
The real chef immediately said, "Absolutely."
Kanako chewed it and was very touched. "That's great! From now on, I can eat Curse Balls of various flavors..."
The real person was flattered and lost himself in the praise: "I can prepare a banquet for all the cursed spirits and invite everyone to eat."
Geto: "That's not necessary."
When he thought of the scene of everyone sitting around the table eating curses... the picture was too beautiful, he didn't dare to look at it.
