Chapter 35 49/50 Two chapters merged into one



As the "Send You to Buddhahood and Salvation Team" sang their wonderful songs, the souls who were originally enjoying the banquet burst into tears of emotion.

"Why am I so sad? It would be great. I hope someone can sing this song at my grave after I die. I will be very happy."

Gojo Satoru smiled and said, "Isn't this being sung?"

He sat lazily at the guests' table, with the sound of "Transform into a Thousand Winds" heard from all directions.

Gojo Satoru pointed out calmly: "You—were you not already dead?"

"...Is that so? So that's how it is." The ghost looked dazed. "I remember now. I'm already dead."

Gojo Satoru asked him with a smile: "Why, was life not going well when you were alive?"

"Ahh... that's it. My life has been a mess."

He finally recalled his past, mumbling, "I died in July this year. My best friend cheated me out of all my money... When I went to him to ask for the money, he hugged me and cried loudly. We went out to drink together, and when we got drunk, he pushed me off the bridge and I drowned in the cold river. I can't rest in peace."

Gojo Satoru calmly replied, "Really? Then you have a very bad eye for choosing friends. Don't consider just any cat or dog as a friend. Friends are very precious, and the threshold can't be that low."

He neither sympathized with nor pitied the dead. It seemed that he was just chatting casually with a stranger he met by chance one afternoon, but the dead liked the way he spoke.

The ghost choked up and said, "You're right. I didn't know people well and let him mess up my life. He was not a shitty friend at all. Now that I think about it, these few months after my death were the happiest and most joyful time of my life. I'm actually very satisfied..."

While it was speaking, its body was gradually becoming transparent.

The ghost said in relief: "Waiter, please say thank you to the boss lady for me. I really like her hospitality, but I have to go on my way."

The translucent incarnation of the dead spirits turns into tiny specks of light, letting go of everything in this world and attaining enlightenment.

Gojo Satoru murmured to himself: "It's really like this..."

Physical attacks only have a scare effect on the undead. What can defeat the undead is a sense of happiness, satisfaction, and a sense of relief from the heart.

Al walked over from behind him, his eyes loving and his tone gratified as he said, "You did a great job, Wu-chan."

"..." Gojo Satoru complained, "Being praised by you guys always gives me the illusion of being patted on the head by a kindergarten kid and told him I did a good job."

Berserker said in annoyance, "Oh, that's too much. How can you say that about Mom?"

The souls in the hall were liberated one after another by them. Some souls became Buddhas with a smile, while others who did not want to be liberated by them pushed the doors and ran away in panic. Amid the song "Transform into a Thousand Winds", the scene was in chaos.

When a ghost ran past them in a hurry, Al suddenly turned around and grabbed the ghost's hand with a smile on his face.

He nodded politely and gracefully: "Hello, Mr. Ghost."

The ghost was startled. It struggled wildly, “Let me go! Let me go! I don’t want to become a Buddha! I don’t want to leave here!”

The purple-haired Berserker looked at its face carefully, and then showed a surprised expression.

"Looking closely, you really look like someone - Aichuan Fuyuya, do you know him?"

The undead was stunned, "Isn't he... that super handsome star? Ah——!!!"

The body of the dead soul began to turn translucent, and the dead soul screamed in pain and joy: "Wuwuwuwuwu, I don't want to become a Buddha, but you said that I look like Aichuan Fuyuya, I am so happy!"

Berserker tilted his head and pretended to be distressed: "If you look closely, you don't really look alike. Ah, what I mean is that you are ten times more handsome than Aikawa Touya. You must have been very popular with women when you were alive, right?"

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa——!”

The dead screamed and became Buddhas.

Gojo Satoru: “…”

Al elegantly flicked his hair. "That's it, Go-chan. Direct praise is a more effective way to achieve salvation than chicken soup for the soul."

Gojo Satoru: “…”

Berserker said earnestly, "This is the wisdom of our elders. You must learn with an open mind, Go-chan."

“…”

My goodness, how stupid can the dead be to be praised and saved by such hypocritical words that are so fake that you can tell they are lies at once?

Gojo Satoru rubbed his hands together and said, "I can do it too. Just wait, Berserker."

They strode out of the corridor and began to launch indiscriminate rainbow fart attacks on ordinary undead passing by.

The purple-haired heroic spirit used the same trick again and asked, "Miss, has anyone ever told you that you look like Okino Yoko?"

The female ghost was stunned and said shyly: "W-what?! Ah——How did I become a Buddha, ah——!"

Berserker scores one point.

Gojo Satoru grabbed a ghost and said in a bad tone, "Hey, were you a celebrity before? I mean, the kind of celebrity who relies on his looks to make a living."

The undead was stunned.

It choked up and said, "I have lived for thirty years, and even my mother has never praised me like this. I am so happy, ah——!"

Gojo Satoru gets one point.

Berserker stopped another undead wearing a 2D T-shirt and said in surprise, "Oh, sorry, I recognized the wrong person. I thought you were Zoro from One Piece."

The dead soul muttered to himself: "Zoron, he is so handsome...ah——!"

Berserker scores another point.

Gojo Satoru pulled a ghost by the collar and said impatiently, "Hey, old man, that long-nosed old woman just now asked me to tell you that she has been secretly in love with you for a long time."

“Is this true, Tsuiko? Ah——!!!”

Gojo Satoru scored another point.

Amidst the endless stream of flattery, more undead souls were instantly liberated. Gojo Satoru liberated more than a dozen undead souls in one breath, then sat down on the corridor and said unhappily, "I feel like I've become a qualified scumbag."

Berserker sat down next to him, patted his shoulder gently, and consoled him: "Don't be sad, Go-chan. Becoming a scumbag is a necessary step for people to mature. It's okay."

Gojo Satoru: “…”

He sighed.

"This number of souls cannot be reduced overnight. I guess the lady boss hasn't performed any salvation for the souls of the dead in many years. Really, she is not working seriously at all."

Al rested his chin on his hand and thought, "Come to think of it, Wu-chan, we've made such a big fuss, the boss lady should have noticed something, right?"

"Ah, it's about time..."

If he doesn't come, it will be difficult for Geto to take any action.

Boom——!

They looked up suddenly and saw a house not far away suddenly collapsed. They immediately realized that the proprietress had run to Sakata Ginpachi's place!

"...I have never slept here forever~"

"I have ~turned into a thousand winds~"

The proprietress A Yan said coldly: "It's useless. My husband is not a ghost that will be saved by such a lame song."

The purple figure behind her exploded like a hedgehog, guarding the proprietress with great momentum.

Sakata Ginpachi had to stop singing. He was still very scared, but after going through the rituals along the way, he was finally not so scared anymore.

"I say, old woman, helping others to become Buddhas is a good thing, don't look at me so angrily. When you look at me like that, I think I have done something wrong."

The proprietress said gloomily, "You are asked to entertain guests, but you are not asked to help them attain salvation."

"Isn't it good to perform salvation? Saving the souls of the dead is what you... uh, what is that? Right, it's the duty of you mediums, right?!"

"Hmph." The lady boss said disdainfully, "I've said before, not all drops of water will fall into the basin. There will always be those who will never give up, those who will never heal, and those who will never want to enter the cycle of reincarnation... On what basis do you decide for them whether they stay or go?"

Sakata Ginpachi asked back, "What about you? What do you have to tie them down here?"

"Bound? No, this is their paradise. Every family member can feel happy and joyful here. This is where the water droplets belong. I love them. I live for them. I use everything I have to comfort their wounded souls. They all stay with me voluntarily!"

"Stop kidding yourself." Sakata Ginpachi sneered, "They stayed with you voluntarily? Don't be ridiculous, old woman. It was you who begged them to stay!"

Boom——!

When Al and Gojo Satoru arrived, the proprietress was beating Sakata Ginpachi in the ruins: "Ola olla olla olla olla olla olla——"

Al drew his sword and was about to join the fight, but Gojo Satoru said, "Wait."

Sakata Ginpachi, who had been on the defensive, finally moved.

He suddenly grabbed the incoming fist and turned the tables, pushing the proprietress out with unstoppable force: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Al noticed that Sakata Ginpachi's face looked like it was covered with a mask, and it looked very familiar. It was the state of being possessed by a ghost that he had seen in the hot spring before.

He raised an eyebrow: "He is possessed by the undead?"

"No." Gojo Satoru said with great interest: "He is possessed by a living spirit."

There are also various battles between psychics, and the boss lady Oiwa's fighting style is to let the dead spirits possess her body to increase her own spiritual power. This is different from being "possessed", it is "control" and "taming". Sakata Ginpachiku has a talent, but he has no idea about the skills of psychics, so he subconsciously imitates Oiwa's fighting routine.

All the undead in the entire hot spring villa are on the side of the proprietress, and the only ones he can use and rely on are his companions.

Sakata Ginpachi's companions merged into his bodies, successfully enhancing Sakata Ginpachi's power as a "medium", giving him enough strength to fight against the boss lady.

Possessed by a living soul, what a crazy act!

And Sakata Ginpachi did not let his companions down.

"Substitute number two, Iron Girl!"

"Substitute number three, the smile of the nightclub!"

"It is up to us to break the cursed chains that bind the undead here!"

Boom——!

The proprietress slammed heavily against the wall, and the undead in her body was forced to break away from her possession and separate from her body.

"How... is this possible!"

How could a guy who had never come into contact with the undead become so strong!

Sakata Ginpachi shouted: "Dark matter, omelette!"

Just before this crucial blow landed, a purple figure blocked the proprietress's direction and withstood Sakata Ginpachi's final blow. "Roar!"

Sakata Ginpachi was shocked and took two steps back. He looked at the purple figure protecting the lady boss with a bit of doubt: "You...are you not a ghost?"

I have to say, his intuition is very accurate.

The purple figure that has been haunting the lady boss is not a ghost, but a special cursed spirit!

Gojo Satoru raised his hand and made the "Cang" gesture.

"Make way, new medium. That's a cursed spirit. It's time for the sorcerer to come on stage."

Sakata Ginpachi: "!!!"

"The technique turns forward——"Cang"!"

The powerful curse rushed towards the purple cursed spirit with the momentum of tearing everything apart. The proprietress' pupils shrank: "Husband!!!"

The body of the purple curse spirit swelled up in an instant, and the special-grade curse spirit opened its arms, intending to withstand the attack of "Cang" and die together with the enemies present.

"roar--"

Half of its body was knocked off by Gojo Satoru's "Cang", but it still climbed up stubbornly.

It is indeed a special grade!

The several undead spirits that were forced to separate also quickly climbed up and were about to return to the proprietress' body when they were hit on the head by a ghostly object.

"ah!"

While throwing ghost objects at the other undead present, Xia Youjie said, "Satoru, don't kill it! Berserker! Roll it into a cursed spirit ball! I want to eat it!"

Gojo Satoru: “…”

This cursed spirit operator is beyond help.

Al took a step and instantly rose from the ground, the blade reflecting a blood-red light under the moonlight.

The lady boss screamed: "No——"

With a flash of the knife, a shocking gash was cut in the body of the special-grade cursed spirit. First, it was hit by a bullet from "Cang", and then it was slashed by the heroic spirit. The cursed spirit was like a deflated balloon, and its body shrank rapidly.

Al was about to make another move, but the lady boss threw herself at the cursed spirit with a fierce look in her eyes: "Don't get close to it!!!"

Al flipped his wrist and easily put away his weapon.

The translucent Kayu Kei, Ieiri Naoko and Haihara Yu finally arrived.

"Stop it, boss lady." Xia Yujie said, "We have destroyed the magic circle in the backyard. You can't turn the undead here into cursed spirits."

The lady boss hugged the purple humanoid cursed spirit tightly: "So that's how it is, you are actually sorcerers, no wonder you can easily make the soul leave the body..."

Xia Yujie was stunned and instinctively complained: "No, don't talk like the sorcerer's soul is leaving his body every day."

The lady boss muttered to herself, "My plan was about to be implemented, but you came to Xianwang Township at this time, and a talented quasi-psychic came with you... Is this God's will?"

"Oh." Al looked down at her and said softly, "Our arrival is not accidental."

The lady boss looked puzzled. Gojo Satoru pointed at Sakata Ginpachi and said, "That guy was the one who reported the secret to the Jujutsu Specialist."

"..." Sakata Ginpachi was stunned, "Ah? What Jujutsu High School? I didn't tell anyone. Hey, I'm the real innocent passerby here. How could I possibly tell anyone to you!"

"It's not you." Gojo Satoru said, "It's the female ghost that possessed your body."

Sakata Ginpachi was quiet for a few seconds, then suddenly made a vomiting gesture, and then a translucent female ghost was vomited out by him, and it was Ah Ling.

A Ling is the only undead soul among the several souls that just possessed Sakata Ginpachi's body.

Sakata Ginpachi vomited a few more times, and vomited out the souls of Kagura, Shimura Tae, Shimura Shinpachi and others one after another.

The lady boss was incredulous and asked, "Ah Ling, why would you help an outsider?"

The living people and the living souls looked at each other, and tacitly entered the spectator mode, watching the confrontation between the proprietress and the "informer" A Ling.

Ah Ling said frankly, "Yes, I was the one who informed on you. I asked Huiyuan-kun to send a letter to the Jujutsu High School, asking the Jujutsu Master to stop the boss lady."

Huihara Yu had a pair of big eyes, and even when he was inexplicably cueed, he still looked innocent and harmless.

Ieiri Naoko glanced at him and commented, "With Haibara-kun's mental qualities, he must be someone who can accomplish great things."

Summer Oil: "Are you sure he has good mental qualities and is not completely confused about the situation?"

The lady boss said in disbelief: "A Ling——"

A Ling said calmly, "Madam, we all know that Xianwang Township is a post station for the salvation of the dead, but we... haven't saved the dead in how many years?"

“…”

"You force them to stay in the mortal world, in this small barrier, and you plan to turn them into cursed spirits to stay with you forever. Are you really thinking about them?"

After a while, the proprietress smiled bitterly.

"You are right."

Aling is right, Sakata Ginpachi is right, what "the dead want to stay" is obviously what she wants the dead to stay.

"I... am a natural psychic. I have been able to see the figures of the dead since I was a child. People around me always think of me as a monster. I once deeply resented this talent, but later I realized that God gave me this talent so that I can save more dead souls. I am not a monster. My life in this world is meaningful."

Xia Youjie was stunned, as if he resonated with what Ayan said.

Al was the first to notice his change in mood. He walked towards Geto, "Geto."

He gave Geto a gentle hug.

Xia Yujie was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Al?"

Berserker Al smiled softly: "I just think...Jack really needs this hug right now."

“…”

Xia Yujie was a little moved. Just when he was about to say something, Gojo Satoru suddenly said, "Jie, have I ever told you that your bangs are actually very handsome? Although I said your bangs are weird when we first met, they are actually very handsome! Jie's aesthetics have always been good!"

Xia Yujie: “…”

Xia Yujie: "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Despite this, his translucent body began to emit a few faint starlights.

Ieiri Naoko: “…”

Ieiri Naoko asked suspiciously, "Wait, Geto, why are you becoming more and more transparent? Aren't you a living soul? Why do you look like you're about to become a Buddha?"

Al was stunned. He grabbed Xia Yujie's shoulders and shook them hard, saying anxiously, "Jie-chan! No! You can't feel happy! You will be saved! Listen to me, your bangs are really weird, they are not handsome at all, Jie-chan, you are really not handsome at all! Calm down!"

Xia Yujie: “…”

He didn't want to calm down, and even wanted to hit someone.

Xia Yujie pushed Al away and reached out to grab Gojo Satoru's collar, but unfortunately the creature's hand went straight through Gojo Satoru. Xia Yujie gritted his teeth and said, "Asshole, don't save me!!!"

Gojo Satoru laughed without any remorse and said, "No, I just wanted to see if you really think your bangs are handsome. You are hopeless, Jay, your aesthetics is really hopeless."

"Go to hell!"

Al quickly grabbed one with each hand, because as a heroic spirit... or rather, because of the special physique of a COSER, he could completely touch Geto Suguru in his soul state.

"Wu-chan, Jie-chan, you can't quarrel, and you can't fight in front of mom. Mom will be sad. No, you can't be so rude--"

"Let me go, Al!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Al! Just fight if you want to!"

"Eh? Nagging? Go-chan! Mom is obviously doing this for your own good! How can you say that to Mom!!!"

Gojo Satoru was shocked, "You have a fragile heart!!!"

The situation suddenly became even more chaotic.

Ieiri Naoko took a puff of her cigarette and silently took a step back.

Her soul after death comes with a cigarette that she can never finish smoking, so she has to take a few more puffs before returning to her body.

On the side, Huiyuan Xiong looked at Al and the others fighting in amazement. Then, the innocent black-haired boy said with envy, "They have such a good relationship."

Ieiri Naoko slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and drew a line between herself and the idiots: "They are just a bunch of idiots who are like birds of a feather."

On the other side, the voice of the proprietress A Yan continued.

"…I built this Immortal Hope Township, used all I had learned in my life to open a barrier that could protect the dead, and began to collect water drops that fell outside the basin. I wanted those who could not rest in peace in the secular world to become Buddhas here - that's what I thought at the time."

She finally recalled those good old days.

She, her husband, her adopted daughter Aling, and other staff members watched the dead souls attain enlightenment and enter reincarnation one by one. The feeling she had when she watched them was still filled with emotion no matter how many years had passed.

"Looking at their smiling faces when they attained Buddhahood, I was also very happy."

However, happiness came to an abrupt end at some point.

The image of her husband's emaciated face, tortured by illness, appeared in her mind.

The proprietress A Yan slowly developed a gentle expression.

“The day my husband died of cancer, I finally realized something.”

"Before I knew it, there were only dead people around me. I had no friends, and my contact with the outside world was even less. There were only ghosts, ghosts, and countless ghosts around me. So I thought, if one day even the ghosts are gone, will I really be alone?"

——Husband, please don’t leave me, please don’t die, I don’t want to be alone in this world, I don’t want to be alone, please.

——Ayan, I will never leave you, forever and ever, I will never leave you, I will be with you, always and ever...with you...

Her husband's hand slipped from her palm, and amid her tears and heart-wrenching cries, her husband's soul twisted and deformed, and finally became what it is now.

The lady boss said with difficulty: "It was me, I cursed my husband, I imprisoned him by my side in the name of 'love', and I wanted more dead souls to stay in Xianwang Township and accompany me. I cursed everyone."

She looked down at the dying purple cursed spirit and said bitterly, "It's my fault, husband."

The purple curse spirit opened its mouth and murmured, "Ayan, you... are right."

"……husband?"

"I will always be with you."

It suddenly opened its mouth, and the undead standing around them were the first to be hit and sucked into the stomach of the special cursed spirit.

The special curse spirit began to absorb the undead in the entire villa indiscriminately. The power released by the curse spirit even shattered the barrier and began to absorb the souls of the residents of the entire mountain and even the town at the foot of the mountain!

"careful--!"

Al then hugged the souls of Geto Suguru and Ieiri Nozomi into his arms to prevent them from being sucked away by the cursed spirits, and at the same time protected one more person, Haibara Yu. Gojo Satoru also opened a barrier constructed with infinite power to protect them firmly inside the barrier.

but……

Gojo Satoru's expression looked a little ugly.

Armin noticed Gojo Satoru's expression and asked anxiously, "Satoru-chan, what's wrong with you?"

Gojo Satoru frowned and said, "I felt it too, that feeling... of my soul about to be separated."

Everyone: “!!!”

Al was shocked and said, "Wu-chan, come to mommy quickly!"

The proprietress was also horrified and said, "Husband, husband, what are you doing? Stop it, stop it now!"

"Ayan - I will definitely be with you, and everyone will be with you too. Don't cry, don't be sad, we will always love you -"

"Husband, stop it!!!"

The powerful suction formed a strong vortex, and several undead who were playing cards in a room were sucked out of their bodies. After losing their souls, the bodies of Ieiri Shoko and others fell straight to the ground.

The cursed spirit that absorbed the undead instantly expanded to the height of an office building. It opened its mouth and roared, "Pika!!!"

Everyone: “…”

After a moment of silence.

Xia Yujie was horrified: "Glass, ahh ...

Ieiri Naoko: “…”

Al was furious and said, "No, give my daughter's Pikachu back! That's Nitro-chan's Pikachu!!!"

Ieiri Glass: "Who has a Pikachu?!"

Gojo Satoru: “Haha ...
