Chapter 94 The Second Player
"'Special grade cursed spirit', does that mean that cursed spirit is very powerful?"
Igarashi Yuuki looked confused and thoughtful, and then he searched his memory carefully and thought about it. His final answer was still affirmative: "But I'm sorry, boss, I still don't have any memory of seeing or feeling the 'special cursed spirit' you mentioned."
When this guy said "sorry", he actually looked apologetic - as if he was really sorry for not being able to find the answer Gojo Satoru wanted.
...Are you being too sincere?
Is there really such a guy in the world...who can be so quickly and completely honest with a stranger he just met and had a fight with for no apparent reason?
No matter from which aspect, this guy called "Igarashi Yuuki" is too weird, right? ?
The air suddenly fell into an inexplicable, subtle silence.
Until Igarashi Yuuki calmly gave another answer without noticing anything: "Boss, you mean that my change might be related to that 'special cursed spirit'? Is that why you came to me? Will this have any impact on you or other people?"
Gojo Satoru touched his nose and said, "Don't you want to know what effect this will have on you?"
His expression was a little hard to describe - he probably realized something. What the hell, didn't this guy consider himself when raising the questions?
This guy... Gojo Satoru thought about it. Could he be the type who is "completely righteous" and "ignores himself and only cares about others"? Did he think that such people only exist in various legendary novels and are praised like gods?
Gojo Satoru rubbed his arms with a grimace, leaned back, and suddenly felt as if caterpillars were crawling on his body.
What the hell, he is completely allergic to this kind of people!!
Igarashi Yuuki hesitated: "...I don't think this is that important, there's no need to ask."
Gojo Satoru felt that he had guessed correctly, but he was not happy at all: What the hell, he was actually like this! ! This is too unbelievable! ! !
Ugh - to be honest, he even feels a little "disgusted" now.
Xia Yujie looked up at the sky, and was also somewhat surprised and moved - his train of thought was similar to Gojo Satoru's. However, his attitude and view were very different from Gojo Satoru's.
He originally thought that he was a decent and good person who had helped many people, but compared to Igarashi, he suddenly felt that what he had done was nothing. Igarashi Yuuki's ideas even made him admire her a little - he was not sure if he would always keep such ideas?
Are the bad thoughts he sometimes has really too dark?
Xia Yujie silently reflected on himself.
Gojo Satoru curled his lips and said everything at once: "Do you know what is happening to you now? Ah, if I really want to describe it, I can probably say that you have merged with that cursed spirit."
"Just now you were able to use the spells that Jie and I used, all because that cursed spirit was fused into your body. The cursed power and spells you used also came from that cursed spirit."
That's why he asked before, whether he was a cursed spirit or a human being - even if the six eyes could see his current physical condition, he couldn't tell whether he was still himself, or his soul had turned into the shape of that cursed spirit?
Although through the fight just now and Igarashi Yuki's answer just now, he also confirmed that this guy is indeed a normal human being. Even if he has merged with the "Curse Spirit", he is not affected by it at all - although this is too strange and unbelievable, it is better to say that he has never seen or heard of such a situation, but the fact is so unreasonable. Igarashi Yuki's emotions are as stable as they can be, and his negative emotions are almost non-existent. He is not affected at all.
——But this didn't stop him from speaking so seriously to him at this moment.
If I could scare him, that would be great.
"Besides, if those old men in the world of curse who are always nagging and only know how to have wild thoughts and are always afraid that a hole will fall from their heads and hit them one day knew about this, they would definitely find a way to kill you."
Gojo Satoru finished his words in one breath, and gave Igarashi Yuuki a deliberately scary and evil smile: "So, you also think it's not important?"
The faces of Kagome Katsu and Hanayama Haruna beside Gojo Satoru became more and more solemn as they listened. Even though Kagome Katsu clearly remembered Gojo Satoru's words "Igarashi Yuuki is a human", and guessed that he was deliberately exaggerating the impact to scare people, his last sentence was not wrong - if this matter was known by some people in the world of curses, even "cursers"... Igarashi Yuuki would definitely be in danger.
"No, is it really that serious?" Hanayamain Haruna frowned and spoke stutteringly.
"The existence of a half-human, half-cursed spirit, this has never happened in the world of curses before... at least not that I know of."
Gojo Satoru snorted and said lazily, "Do you think those old men in the world of spellcasting are any good? Oh, and there are also spellcasters. If they find out, it will be another kind of trouble."
However, Yuuki Igarashi remained calm and composed.
"Will it have such a serious impact on me? It sounds a bit scary."
He nodded solemnly, and then suddenly laughed: "But I think I know my body better than you do... At least now, including when I used those 'spells' you mentioned just now, I didn't feel any discomfort in my body, and it didn't affect me in any way. Ah, except that I felt a little dizzy and wanted to vomit just now?"
"--Even if it may have undergone some changes that I may not know or understand, but whether it is me who couldn't see these things before or me who can see them now, nothing has changed. I am still myself. This is enough. As for the other external changes that you mentioned, boss, I don't really care about them."
There was now a smile on Igarashi Yuuki's baby face, which originally looked childish, revealing two gleaming fangs and faint dimples.
These are things that should make people appear "cute", but whether it is his calm and soothing words or the calmness and determination that emanates from his clear and bright peridot green eyes, they all make him appear exceptionally stable and reliable at this moment, exuding a powerful appeal that can make people involuntarily calm down and relax their anxiety.
He continued speaking in a steady and patient voice: "Besides, no matter how terrible the consequences you mentioned may sound... I still have confidence in myself. I don't have many advantages. I am sometimes unlucky, but one advantage is that I am very adaptable, and I am also very strong. No matter how terrible the consequences seem, I can find a way to survive. No matter what the consequences are, I am capable enough to bear them myself."
"That's why I think there's no need to ask these questions... These impacts don't really matter to me. But other people are not me, so of course I have to ask clearly whether it will have any impact on others. So, boss, did you misunderstand something before?"
He suddenly tilted his head, as if he had just realized this, and his eyes slightly widened. This action was surprisingly suitable and natural for him, making him look no longer calm at this moment, but rather a little cute.
However, no matter whether it was Gojo Satoru or Geto Suguru, no one would ignore the implied meaning of his previous words.
——He is not some ridiculous "good-natured saint who only cares about others, even completely ignores himself because of others, and regards himself as more important than anything else"; instead, no matter what happens, he has the strength and confidence to not let himself live a bad life and continue to survive. In his view, those possible impacts on him are irrelevant and do not need to be overly concerned.
This is a "self" that is completely opposite to Gojo Satoru's previous idea.
This is a rather arrogant self-confidence.
Of course, the premise of self-confidence is that he needs to have the strength to match this self-confidence, otherwise it would be as ridiculous as sitting in a well and looking at the sky - and in this regard, whether it is from the perspective of Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, or Hanayamain Haruna, he undoubtedly has it.
This "arrogance" actually made Gojo Satoru instantly recover from his lethargy, and his eyes lit up.
"Wow, it turns out you're pretty arrogant too, Yuuki-chan."
Gojo Satoru smiled and put his arm on Igarashi Yuki, changing his expression very quickly.
“But I like your confidence!”
What young people lack the least is arrogance and ego. For teenagers of their age, there is nothing to be afraid of. The more confident they are, the more people will admire them, which is exactly what they like.
Gojo Satoru is like this, and so is Geto Suguru. Even if Igarashi Yuuki is not the kind of person he thought he was admirable for, he still admires his confidence - after all, he has the same strength as him and Satoru. So why can't he be so confident?
"Before, Wu probably thought you were the type who would sacrifice yourself for others. He thought people like that were too 'serious' and annoying, so he deliberately exaggerated."
Xia Yujie smiled and said, "But don't worry, it's not as serious as Wu said."
"By the way, Igarashi, don't call me boss - Satoru is the one who pays. Just call me Geto."
"Hmm." Gojo Satoru chuckled carelessly, with a face full of fearless and rogue confidence. "There's really nothing to worry about. Not everyone is as powerful as me, with the 'Six Eyes' that can see through your cursed power. It comes from the cursed spirit hidden in your body. At most, they will guess that you suddenly woke up and became a sorcerer and have a spell."
"Ah, I guessed it." Igarashi Yuuki smiled brightly with a cunning look, "Because before, apart from you, the boss, who asked me this, Getsu-kun and Haruna-san seemed very surprised... So I guess not everyone can see this. That's why I was so confident and dared to say that just now."
