Chapter 194 The Second Player

Since neither Gojo Satoru nor Geto Suguru had any intention of "fighting", he had finished what he was saying - he would really be out of words if he continued, so why was he still staying here?

Although he couldn't figure out the reason, sometimes you don't have to think about everything so complicatedly. Xi Hai Qing Dou didn't say much, and before the two of them could react, he teleported away.

——Nonsense, why are you just standing there? Are you waiting for them to react and then stab him?

Although Xi Haiqingdou's original intention of luring the two of them here was indeed to "fight - tear up the card". Seeing the girl he liked die under the knife of his companion who just defected, a normal person would think of fighting with that guy first no matter what, right? Then he just went with the flow and tore up the card and went home to say goodbye to this world -

Unexpectedly, these two guys didn't play by the rules at all. They said so much but didn't fight. But not fighting, not having to tear up the cards was a good thing for Xi Haiqing Dou. Death has its advantages, and being alive naturally has its advantages - of course, the most important reason was that he didn't need to wait for ten years in this world.

After teleporting away from the old site of the Bandei Cult, Saikai Haruto let the aura and consciousness of the "greedy creature" cover the body of "Igarashi Yuuki".

The change in appearance was not that big. It was almost the same as when he fought with Fushiguro Shigeki in the second grade. Although he had more "tattoos", his original appearance could still be seen. But the most important thing was that with his current "weird" appearance, he was walking alone on the street with his hands in his pockets, and no one paid any attention to him.

It’s not that the people in Tokyo are knowledgeable and not surprised by this. The reason is actually very simple - it’s just that now, except for the sorcerer, no ordinary person can see him - or "Him".

And in the eyes of the sorcerer, his aura now... has become completely identical to that of a "cursed spirit".

It can also be said that the current "Yuuki Igarashi" and "Greedy" have completely merged together.

——This is the true final ending that Saikai Haruto wrote for “Igarashi Yuuki” in the comics.

Xi Haiqing Dou has no intention of looking for anyone or doing anything at the moment.

Before finding Hanayamain Haruna, he had already made arrangements for both the twins and Nico. Although given Fushiguro Shigeru's character, he would definitely not take care of the twins for a long time, but based on Nishimi Haruto's understanding of him, Nanako and Mimiko would most likely be thrown to Gojo Satoru and Kagome Toshi in the end.

Whether it's Gojo Satoru or Geto Suguru... let's not talk about anything else, but Saikai Haruto believes that even if he says "break up" with the two of them, they will still be able to take good care of the two sisters; and in the hearts of Nanako and Mimiko, the two of them are Saikai Haruto's best friends, so naturally they won't be too averse to them.

Of course, it was also because Saikai Haruto had laid a good foundation in the early stages - in the past year, he often brought the two sisters together with Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, so isn't this the reward? !

Although it might be a bit unfair to Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, but one has to be unfair to someone in life, so he can just leave all of Igarashi Yuuki's "inheritance" to them. Anyway, the two of them won't have a chance to retaliate against him.

He should have done most of what he needed to do by now...Xihai Haruto thought, he should have arranged everything, right?

So where did this inexplicable feeling of missing something come from? Did he forget something?

***

Ieiri Shoko was the last person to know that "Igarashi Yuuki killed 23 members of the Jujutsu Directorate, seriously injured 6 people, killed Hanayamain Haruna, and then defected from the Jujutsu world."

When she heard the news, Ieiri Naoko's eyelids jumped and the cigarette in her mouth almost choked her. She hurriedly put out the cigarette while coughing.

"It's actually true? What on earth are those guys doing?"

Naoko Ieiri felt isolated.

Whether it was Saikai Haruto killing the Jujutsu Directorate, or him killing Hanayamain Haruna and breaking up with Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, it would be fine if she had no involvement in any of these events, but why was she the last one to be informed of these events? Didn't they even tell her about the "breakup"?

What the hell, what is this, is this gender discrimination?

"Who asked you, Glass, to be on a business trip those two days?"

Gojo Satoru complained: "You're not even in Japan, so it's normal that you don't know the news, right?"

"It's not that I wanted to go on a business trip. It's a mission arranged by the people in the Directorate General. Wait, so many people died in the Directorate General. Will I not get the balance of the mission reward this time?"

Ieiri Naoko complained a bit, and suddenly murmured, "There is absolutely no news about that guy now..."

On the two days when Saikai Haruto killed Hanayamain Haruna, Ieiri Shoko was on a business trip abroad. Even the birthday present for Hanayamain Haruna was sent to her in advance, and she didn't even have time to call her, so naturally she didn't know anything about it.

It was not until she returned to China that Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru suddenly appeared at the airport to pick her up and take her back to school. She learned all this from them.

But the strange thing is... even though Hanayamain Haruna was her best friend, after learning that she was killed by Saikai Haruto, Ieiri Shoko felt nothing but disbelief and loss, which was a rare thing for her, and she didn't feel overly sad.

Xia Yujie had a faint smile on his face, but he looked as cold as if there was an invisible barrier between them. "What can I say? He has done such a big thing. Now everyone in the sorcery world is looking for his whereabouts. No matter if they are sorcerers or cursers, they all want to find him. With his personality, he must have thought about the consequences when he did these things. It's normal that we can't find his whereabouts now."

Nowadays, the people in the Jujutsu world are going crazy trying to find Saikai Haruto. Some people have even tried to find Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and even Nanako and Mimiko... Unfortunately, neither Gojo Satoru nor Geto Suguru have good tempers, and those who went to find Nanako and Mimiko never came back - although Fushiguro even cursed and said that the money he made was a big loss, he was still ruthless when he took action.

Ieiri Naoko blinked her eyes and realized belatedly, "Ah... that's right. It's normal that there's no news about him now."

She raised the corners of her lips, as if trying to lighten the mood, and said jokingly, "Well, although that guy's personality is more like Wu's, when it comes to understanding each other, you still know him best, Jay."

...I don't know why, but after she said this, the atmosphere suddenly became more tense, and Xia Yujie's expression became visibly colder.

Ieiri Glass: Isolating me again?

"Ah - that's why I said I have no idea what he's thinking."

Gojo Satoru's face was visibly irritated: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. In the end, everything is nothing to him?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "If we talk about arrogance, that guy is the most arrogant one!"

"If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it." Xia Yujie lowered his eyes and stood up calmly. "Anyway, just like he said, it doesn't matter what happens now."

"No - I'll be tangled up if I can't figure this out." Gojo Satoru turned around, stood up, and chased after him like a cat that smelled fish: "Hey, Jay, do you know something? Tell me now!"

"I don't know much more than you do." Xia Yujie said helplessly: "If you really want to know that much, why don't you just find him and ask him directly?"

"Huh? Are you kidding me?" Gojo Satoru was furious: "We've already said we've parted ways, how could I possibly go looking for him?!"

"... How bizarre that you three are going to split up one day." Ieiri Naoko said in surprise, "I thought you three would be conjoined twins forever."

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

Indeed, this is something that Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru have never been able to figure out: they have always walked this way, and no matter how things change, they still feel in their hearts that they should always walk together. But...how do they suddenly find that someone's path has been "different" from the beginning?

——Who wants to “part ways” with him or go to the “other side”? !

What Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru didn't say was that they both had the same premonition: the "goodbye" that Saikai Haruto said to them at that time might be his last "goodbye".

After this, it’s probably “never see you again”.

"...Ah, wait a minute, if they wanted to break up, that guy should have told you in front of both of you, right?"

Ieiri Naoko was a little slow and suddenly said, "He didn't seem to tell me that. If that's the case... maybe only the two of you have been 'broken apart'?"

"——Huh? Glass, do you think you're an exception?!" Gojo Satoru mocked back.

...Does this count as a prophecy coming true?

On the streets of Shibuya, Ieiri Shoko, still holding a plate of takoyaki in her hand, looked at a guy standing on the side of the road with his hands in his pockets, waiting obediently for the traffic light to turn red. She blinked slowly, and suddenly remembered the words she had jokingly mentioned when she was talking to Gojo Goga Yugetsu before.

No matter what, I have to beat Gojo Satoru up when I get back. That crow-mouthed bastard.

That guy... should I say "he" is a human or a cursed spirit? In short, he is both human and not.

But maybe he still looks more like a human. Although he looks more inhuman than before, after all, "he" nodded to her naturally after noticing her gaze, and he knew to obey traffic rules... Although it seems a bit funny that he did this after no ordinary people saw "him", this can also prove that "he" should still have the consciousness of belonging to the human race, belonging to "Igarashi Yuki", right?

Ieiri Shoko hesitated for less than a second, but still walked towards "him".

Now, what should she call him? "Wanted criminal"? "Igarashi Yuuki"? Or "Super Cursed Greedy Monster"?

It's a bit tangled.

But before she could walk up to "him" and call out the name she had finally thought of, the guy just looked at her for two seconds and then shook his head at her.

...Does that mean you don't want her to pass away?

Ieiri Nishiko was a little unsure.

What is going on? She is not Gojo Satoru or Geto Suguru, and she doesn’t have the ability to read minds... How can she know what he means by shaking his head if he doesn’t say anything?

She stopped.

"His" eyes curved and he nodded - it was so rare that after such a long time, Ieiri Naoko actually saw "his" eyes, which had turned completely black at some point, turn back to their original green color.

"goodbye."

"He" opened his mouth and a low, hoarse sound rang out, a bit like sandpaper. Although Ieiri Naoko was still several meters away from "him", and there were many pedestrians in between, the strange thing was that the syllables of "さようなら" floated into her ears particularly clearly.

So, Ieiri Shoko watched "him" smile at her, then turn around and walk away without looking back. His speed was not very fast, but he disappeared in the crowd from her sight in just two or three seconds - but how to put it, that smile combined with "his" current face, not only did it not have any friendliness in it, it even looked like he was deliberately trying to intimidate people.

...What's going on? Did “he” come here just to say goodbye to her?

Logically speaking, when she met "him" here, she should pick up her phone and make a call... no matter if she called Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, Yaga Masamichi or anyone else... even if he left, she should at least have an attitude.

And the cell phone is now in her pocket.

So Ieichiro Nozomi picked up a toothpick, picked up a piece of takoyaki and put it in her mouth.

I didn't notice it before, but that guy has really changed a lot now.

Ieiri Naoko thought that if it weren't for those eyes, she might not have recognized him at first sight. Even his voice had changed a lot.

And she said goodbye... but she didn't say a word. What kind of goodbye is this?

...I guess we won't see each other again, right?

For some unknown reason, Ieiri Shoko had a premonition of loss.

Ieiri Naoko took another bite of the takoyaki.

Ah, Tencent won’t help... I’d better not make this call.
