Chapter 98 The Second Player
He originally thought that the Curse Jade would be difficult to swallow... but he didn't expect it to have some kind of "melt in the mouth" property, and it slid into his esophagus very easily and almost automatically.
——Then the next second, he immediately leaned against the wall and began to vomit violently.
"Tsk——"
Xi Haiqingdou held the wall with one hand, and the other hand could barely hold up the umbrella. His eyebrows, eyes, and nose were all wrinkled tightly together, and his face was full of bitterness and discomfort. Even his back and the arm that was leaning against the wall could not help but tremble slightly.
"Gee, gee, gee—"
Although he clearly couldn't vomit anything, Xihai Qingdou couldn't help but lower his head and hold onto the wall as he continued to vomit as if his heart was broken. He opened his mouth wide and stuck out his tongue wildly, trying to spit the Cursed Spirit Jade out of his stomach. Even his eye circles turned red from the vomiting - even though the thing had now completely "dissolved" in his stomach.
What, what, what?! Why is this thing so disgusting, so unpalatable, and so nauseating?! Why is there such a strange, horrible, and terrifying taste in this world??!
Xi Haiqing Dou was regretting to death.
Xi Haiqing Dou was puzzled: when he fused "Igarashi Yuuki" and the cursed spirit "Greedy" together before, there was no feeling at all, it just ended in a flash? But why is it not the same with this cursed spirit jade, but this kind of smell - it's totally a nightmare smell?
If he had known that the Curse Jade would taste like this, he would never have come here to die! What a disgusting taste! It was so horrible and nightmarish! !
And there is Xia Youjie - he seemed to take out the Curse Spirit Jade very easily and without changing his expression before. It is impossible to imagine that he had the same experience as he is now when he subdued those Curse Spirits, and had the same feelings?
——The contents of the "plots" he had received before were not completely detailed. They only gave a general idea of the plot and the direction of the story. Therefore, Xi Haiqing Dou had no idea that the taste of the cursed spirit jade that needed to be swallowed for Geto Suguru's "Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique" would be so... unbearable.
After holding onto the wall and vomiting for several minutes, Xi Haiqing Dou still couldn't recover - I can't take it anymore, it's just too terrible!! This smell can't continue, can it? It doesn't seem to subside at all, it can't last a whole day, can it?
Let him think about it, let him think about it...Oh yes, this might work!
He leaned against the wall and took out a box of candy from his pocket with shaking hands, opened the box, twisted the candy and stuffed it down his throat without looking at it.
Soon, the terrible smell that seemed like a mixture of swill, vomit, and chaos dissipated in an instant, and was replaced by a strong sour taste rising from the tip of the tongue.
[Sour Candy (R)]: A box of very sour candies used for pranks. If you eat one, everything you eat will taste like it for ten minutes.
Saikai Haruto narrowed his eyes in relief. That's great.
Although it is very sour, he had always complained that the taste was too sour and that it was really useless except for pranks... But the tastes are all contrasted, and Xi Haiqing Dou now only thinks that this taste is really fragrant! So useful!
At least he finally recovered and no longer felt like vomiting.
Although "Sour Candy" tastes very sour, its taste does not last long. It just has a buff that "no matter what you eat for ten minutes, it will be sour". As long as he doesn't eat anything within these ten minutes, it will be fine.
But before Xihai Qingdou could breathe a sigh of relief, he seemed to sense something. His mind moved, and the bluish-white, hyena-like cursed spirit instantly flashed and appeared beside him again.
He could feel it - he had an inexplicable, wonderful connection with it now, and he could drive it to do anything and it would never resist.
But this feeling only lasted a few seconds and then disappeared like the tide.
——The connection was suddenly severed, and the cursed spirit, which had inexplicably seemed docile, became fierce and ferocious again. The "relationship" between him and the cursed spirit was over.
——Half an hour has passed, and it’s time for him to use the “Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique” he copied from Geto Suguru.
Xi Hai Qing Dou and Ju Ling looked at each other: "."
In other words, all the time he had been suffering was in vain, right?
The results of the effect verification came out quickly, but Xi Haiqing Dou was not happy at all.
He curled up the corners of his mouth expressionlessly and sneered at the cursed spirit twice. This time, he kicked it without hesitation, giving it a quick death. The depression in his heart gradually dissipated.
Holding the umbrella, he straightened his back and stubbornly left the narrow, dim and somewhat dirty alley, leaving behind only a gradually shrinking and disappearing figure.
After leaving the alley, Xi Haiqing Dou ran back home quickly without looking around, took a hot shower, and then started feeding the cat.
Unlike before, this time he has a cat at home. It has black fur, golden eyes, and is the size of a palm. It looks like it is only a few months old. Xi Hai Qing Dou can't tell what breed it is, but it is still very cute. There is only one flaw - the color of its fur is too pure black, without a trace of mixed colors. If you turn off the light in the dark, you can no longer find it.
This cat's personality is not very clingy, it is "slightly aloof". Normally, it will not take the initiative to get close to him, and can live comfortably at home alone. However, if Xi Haiqingdou wants to pet the cat or hug it, it will not refuse - but the time cannot be too long. Once he holds it for more than half an hour, it will run away impatiently.
To be honest, Xi Haiqing Dou always had the illusion that "it was actually just sharing a room with him" and that he had found a "roommate" for him to live with - but this "roommate" was obviously not a human, but a cat.
...I don't know why it took the initiative to move in in the first place.
Although in the West, and in Japan from a certain period of time until now, there has always been a meaning of "black cats are unlucky", and there is also a saying that "if you meet a cat with golden eyes on the road, you will be unlucky", but Saikai Haruto does not avoid it and does not mind it - after all, he already has a debuff, and he is not afraid of the buff being added more severely. Anyway, no one cares and despises him.
Besides, keeping a cat, especially this cat, is really useful - since bringing this cat home, this family has never been robbed again. I don't know how it does it, but Xi Haiqingdou feels that he is more useful than the big dog used as a guard next door, and he doesn't even bother people.
——Besides, boys who raise animals and are decent are generally more popular? Saikai Haruto is a little unsure, but at least it won't be a demerit? ... At least not in boys' comics.
Pour the cat food into the black cat's special plate. The cat that had disappeared suddenly appeared in the room within a few seconds and walked slowly to Xihai Qingdou.
Xihai Qingdou held the cat and stroked it casually, then quickly let go of it before it got angry. He then made himself a simple meal. After eating, he sat on the sofa with contentment, crossed his legs, and started reading the forum at the system's reminder.
Each comic has its own dedicated forum and comic section, but most of them can also communicate with other forums and sections.
For example, before, Xi Haiqing Dou had seen a comment in a forum post on Si Xiao that "I want to see Cointreau beat up the senior executives of Curse on the set of Curse"... At that time, he didn't understand what kind of comic "Curse on the set" was?
Now that I think about it...it should be referring to this world.
"High-ranking curse masters" probably refer to high-ranking people in the world of curses. Saikai Haruto now knows this, as he has seen them mentioned in the plots that they are villains of this world and need to be cleaned up.
After opening the forum, Xi Haiqing Dou didn't rush to read the comics. Instead, he clicked on a post that he had seen before but didn't open due to an unexpected incident and later forgot about it, and read it carefully.
This post was published a long time ago in the forum. After a rough estimate, it was probably published before the comic was published. It also has the "hot" and "featured" logos on it. However, even looking at the title of the post, you can see the weight of the information revealed here.
[hot][Featured][Extra, Curse is going to have a new chapter! It is said to be a new main plot branch, mainly telling the story of Goka and his friends during their high school years in detail. Does anyone know? ! ]
1L
First!
2L
I'm coming quickly!
3L
Is this true? Did you really change the name of the book to "Gojoden"? Shocking.
4L
...I haven't heard of the news above.
5L
The people upstairs are so innocent, is that true? Don’t you know that our curse nickname is also known as “Gojoden”? (doge)
6L
Huh? Isn't the hero of this work Brother Hu? The hero of the boy's manga has become an adult?
7L
Le, the above person really doesn't know, right? Because wtw appears too many times and is too invincible, so you curse outside and call it "Gojoden", which is a joke... not really saying that the male lead is wtw.
8L
That road or more...! Got it!
9L
But once the new chapter comes out, maybe it will really have to be renamed "Gojoden". (Music)
After all, J said that this is also a branch of the main plot, and it is also a long-term content...which means that our Tiger may be missing for dozens of episodes in a row (.)
10L
I just climbed over the wall and looked at it on Twitter. It turned out to be true... It is said that it will be related to the main plot! It will also reveal the past stories of Gojo and others. In the middle, there will be new characters that everyone has never seen, and new old friends that have already been seen... Ah, J-man, why did you learn to be a mystery teller from the 74 next door! You can learn anything else, but you learn this! Urgent, urgent, I want to see the new chapter today!
Picture.jpg
11L
This Tai Chi move of J cannot be learned without twenty years of practice...
12L
I looked lonely...
13L
Oh no, I missed a picture! And this one!!
Picture.jpg
14L
Saved! May the good people above live a peaceful life! Damn, was Gojo Satoru so naive during his high school years? !
15L
Aaaaaa, Xiaowu, I'm dying! !
16L
Wake up, Xiao Wu has no bottom line, you can't kiss him. (cold.jpg)
17L
No one wants Nitro? Then I'll take her away! Nitro wife kiss~ Nitro from the college is so tender! !
18L
Hehehe, summer oil, hehe...
22L
Damn, there is too much information on this picture. Who are those blackened shadows standing next to the three of Wuxiaxiao?
23L
I counted them and there were three in total. They looked like two men and one woman. What a beautiful woman with long hair!
24L
What does it mean to paint it black? Does it mean we have to guess who it is? Or is it a new character that has not appeared in the main story?
25L
What if it's a character who died in the new chapter? (Hey)
26L
...The guy upstairs, tell me honestly, are you a knife that turned into a spirit?
