Chapter 110: Mom
Gojo Satoru stared at Geto Suguru for a long time without saying anything, his brows furrowed even tighter, and there was a rare depth and calmness in his eyes.
It was the first time that Geto Xiayou and Baichuan Mu saw Gojo Satoru with such an expression. They both couldn't help but slow down their breathing and waited nervously for what would happen next.
"So..." Gojo Satoru stroked his chin, speaking slowly and in a heavy tone, "So this cod intestine is specially for pets?"
Baichuanmu: ...
Geto Summer Oil: ...
Xia Yujie picked up the packaging bag and took a look. It was specially marked with "cod fish sausage specially for pets".
The cod fish sausage was specially bought by Bai Chuanmu, so she naturally didn't need to confirm it again. She deliberately put the cod fish sausage and cat strips together, just in case the two cubs mistakenly thought they were snacks and ate them.
However, if Gojo Satoru would specifically ask this, and his expression was so confusing...
Bai Chuanmu opened his mouth in astonishment and said blankly: "Wu, you are not going to eat it?"
"Uh, I..." Gojo Satoru choked, hesitated for a while, and still said stubbornly, "I didn't."
But the brief moment of hesitation on Gojo Satoru's part was enough to explain the problem.
Bai Chuanmu pursed his lips and whispered, "Is it because I gave Wu cat food when we first met? I... I didn't expect Wu to become like this. You actually..."
The corner of Gojo Satoru's mouth twitched. He said indignantly, "How dare you bring up what happened back then? You actually come up here and feed me cat food!?"
"I'm so sorry," Bai Chuanmu apologized decisively with her hands clasped together. After apologizing, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "...Wu, you won't become addicted to pet snacks because of my behavior, right?"
Gojo Satoru snorted, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?!"
Baichuan Mu looked at Gojo Satoru seriously, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, you are."
"Hey! I'm not--!" Gojo Satoru gritted his teeth. If Baichuan Mu was not an ordinary person, not a sorcerer, nor a fighter, he really had to have a good sparring with her to ease the "hatred" in his heart.
Thinking of this, Gojo Satoru turned his head and looked at Geto Suguru, his eyes ferocious, as if saying, "If you don't speak for me, I'll fight you."
No, for the sorcerer, this is not a fight, but a friendly exchange to help the other party improve their strength.
Xia Yujie smiled helplessly: "I believe Wu on this point. After all, Wu is a natural sweet tooth. Most pet snacks are not sweet, right?"
"Indeed," Gojo Satoru nodded in agreement, "This cod sausage has a very light taste, mainly fishy."
Baichuanmu: ...
Geto Summer Oil: ...
Baichuan Mu thought, was Gojo Satoru so honest when he was a child? How come he accidentally let the cat out of the bag while talking?
Xia Yujie held his forehead, shook his head and sighed.
Gojo Satoru frowned, a little dissatisfied with the reactions of the two of them, and the authorities punched Cat and Dog.
Cats and Dogs:?
"Meow, woof?" The cats and dogs who were beaten for no reason tilted their heads and looked at Gojo Satoru with confusion in their eyes, then meowed and woofed at Geto Suguru to complain.
Xia Youjie was even more helpless: "Satoru..."
Gojo Satoru snorted and blew the dust off his fist: "What's wrong? I just wanted to test the strength of the evolved cats and dogs. Now it seems that they are still as thin and weak as ever, and their IQ has not improved much. They look stupid."
Xia Yujie thought to himself, that might not be the case. The cats and dogs have been crying and acting cute, asking me to avenge them. Moreover, they know that my mother can’t understand them, so they asked me to translate a few words of complaint for them.
This little guy... maybe he can't be called a stupid cursed spirit.
"…But there is almost no change in combat power." Geto Suguru still agreed with part of what Gojo Satoru said.
Xia Yujie waved his fingers, commanding the cats and dogs to jump and turn around for a few circles, and then commented: "The speed has not changed much, the jumping height has become a little higher, and the sharpness of the teeth...well, when it was level 4, its teeth were sharp enough to even eat copper locks. It really doesn't seem to have changed much."
As for other special abilities... none. The cat and dog are still ordinary cats and dogs, just a little bigger in size and cuter than before. They are no longer ugly and cute, but silly and cute. Now they look like a different-colored Corgi doll.
Although the progress is not great, Xia Youjie is still full of confidence: "Although the combat power has not improved much, but it has become cuter, isn't it?"
"Indeed~" Baichuanmu also squatted down and touched the cats and dogs' heads, saying with a smile, "It's much cuter than before, and now it looks more like an ordinary pet."
Xia Youjie smiled and said, "Mom, as long as you like it."
Gojo Satoru hesitated to speak. It was unusual to treat cursed spirits as pets, wasn't it? Was it really normal? But on second thought, the mother and son wanted to exploit the cursed spirits and let them do 007 work... Well, pets are good. Cats and dogs might be the happiest cursed spirits. They can be patted on the head and have cat food, cod intestines and other snacks. They really can't be too happy, okay? !
Geto Suguru fed the remaining small piece of cod intestines to Cat and Dog and patted its head. There was a small bump on its head, which was hammered out by Gojo Satoru. However, Cat and Dog seemed to have no idea about it. They just smiled foolishly at Geto Suguru, as if they had no sense of pain.
Xia Yujie stroked his chin and thought, but when he was attacked just now, the cats and dogs responded.
Xia Youjie thought about it and asked Mao Mao Gou tentatively: "Mao Mao Gou, what's the matter with this little bump on your head?"
Gojo Satoru curled his lips: "Hey, Jie, there's no need for you to hold a grudge like that, right? You're not thinking of standing up for cats and dogs, are you?"
What's the matter with the little bumps on the cats and dogs' heads? Aren't they just caused by his beatings?
The cat and dog tilted their heads and meowed and woofed, and the little bulge actually shrank back, and their little heads became normal again.
"Hmm?" Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows and stared at the cats and dogs seriously for a while.
He was irritated by the smell of cats and dogs before, and he didn't want to look at them just now. He didn't want to recall that disgusting smell again, but now...
Geto Summer Oil and Gojo Satoru said in unison: "Cotton?"
The two of them looked at each other again and said the same word at the same time: "Doll."
Xia Youjie and Gojo Satoru both smiled knowingly, they both understood that the other party had the same guess as themselves, or that the other party also knew the current situation of cats and dogs just like themselves.
Only Bai Chuanmu, an ordinary person, was confused. She raised her hands and said, "Well, Jie, Wu, can you two understand me, an ordinary person who doesn't know how to cast spells... Don't forget our principles, don't be a riddler!"
"Tsk," Gojo Satoru rolled his eyes at Baichuan Mu and waved his hand in disdain, "Come on, Aunt Mu, don't be a riddler. Who likes to be a riddler the most? Isn't it you?"
Baichuanmu: ...
Baichuanmu felt a little scared and upset. She was really wronged. Is it possible that you are too Di, not her? Is it possible that she didn't say something ambiguous on purpose, but your thinking rhythm jumped too fast and she couldn't keep up! ?
"Satoru," Xia Youjie patted Gojo Satoru's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't forget my mother and our goal. Sometimes my mother deliberately doesn't say the whole thing, one is for safety and stability, and the other is that she knows we can understand."
Baichuanmu: ...My dear, thank you so much for your trust.
"I understand—" Gojo Satoru yawned and spoke in a long voice.
Xia Youjie smiled gently and said, "And my mother is indeed not very good at being a sorcerer. After all, she is limited by her own conditions."
Bai Chuanmu nodded. That’s right, but it would be better if “not very good at” was changed to “completely unable to”.
Gojo Satoru hummed.
Xia Youjie continued with a smile: "So we have to be patient at this time, because my mother keeps throwing us and we are very patient."
Bai Chuanmu nodded again, thinking, Jie is indeed my son! That's great!
Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure she has patience with us... no, with me?"
"What if not?" Xia Youjie said with a smile.
"...Heh," Gojo Satoru spread his hands and read, "It appears, it's Mama's Boy Jie!"
Xiayou Jie looked at Gojo Satoru and tilted his head slightly, his expression becoming more and more kind, and then he said to Baichuan Muyi: "Mom, I think it's not good to eat ice cream now that the weather is cold. How about reducing my and Satoru's daily ice cream quota by half in the future... No, let's cancel it. This is for the sake of our health."
Baichuanmu was moved by Xiayou Jie's righteous words, and she has always been a person who is good at listening to children's ideas. She nodded in agreement: "Jie, what you said makes sense. It was mom who neglected it. From now on, the daily ice cream will be..."
"Wait a minute!" Gojo Satoru said hurriedly. He was so excited that he even flew up with the Unlimited Technique. Now he could look Baichuan Mu in the eye. He clenched his fists, "Hey, you... Aunt Mu, you can't do this. You can't change what you promised!"
"That's true," Baichuanmu scratched his face hesitantly, then patted Gojo Satoru's head, "But, Satoru, don't use the unlimited technique for now. Wouldn't it give you a headache if you use it too much?"
Gojo Satoru gritted his teeth and landed on the ground again, then Baichuan Mu half squatted down, so he didn't have to look up at the other person.
Baichuanmu smiled helplessly and persuaded: "But the weather is getting colder, how about changing to other snacks, such as the Daifuku that you like?"
"No," Gojo Satoru shook his head firmly, "Besides, I have a lot of favorite snacks, and Daifuku and ice cream are on par with each other. Neither can be replaced, and neither can be cancelled."
Xia Youjie said leisurely: "Haha, it sounds like Daifuku and Ice Cream are more like your best friends!"
Gojo Satoru glared at Geto Suguru with an unpleasant look, telling him with his eyes that if the daily ice cream was cancelled, he would never forgive him.
Xia Yujie spread his hands innocently, chuckled twice, and then studied the cats and dogs. The fur of the cats and dogs nowadays felt very smooth and soft, but they didn't look like real animals. They didn't breathe and had no heartbeat. Instead, they looked like dolls, dolls stuffed with cotton.
This is also why he and Gojo Satoru said those two words together.
After all, cats and dogs are essentially doll-type cursed spirits.
It...is born from what kind of negative emotions?
This may hold the key to studying the powers that cats and dogs possess.
Geto Suguru was still thinking about the cursed spirit, and Gojo Satoru was still arguing with Baichuan Mu about ice cream.
Bai Chuanmu asked tentatively: "How about halving it? And the reduced half will also be replaced with snacks...you can choose any snack."
Gojo Satoru wanted to refuse decisively, but then an idea came to him: "Can the missing half of the ice cream be exchanged for a whole portion of ice cream?"
That way, he'll have one and a half servings of ice cream!
Baichuanmu: ...
"No," Bai Chuanmu held his forehead and said, "You can't find loopholes like this."
Gojo Satoru snorted, "You can't have any less ice cream! You can deduct Jay's, but you can't deduct mine!"
Hearing this, Geto Xia gave Gojo Satoru a helpless look, but Gojo Satoru just snorted at him.
Bai Chuanmu sighed and said, "This is not a cut of the money. This is for the sake of your health."
"Okay, Aunt Mu, don't really believe what Jay said. We are sorcerers, and sorcerers are much stronger than ordinary people!" Gojo Satoru folded his arms and tilted his head back. There was no sign of guilt or lying on his face.
Baichuan Mu wondered in his heart, does a sorcerer have this setting? But... it should be, after all, most sorcerers also focus on physical skills.
Bai Chuanmu was still trying to persuade him: "But..."
Gojo Satoru pointed at the fireplace and said, "We still have Jie's fire curse spirit at home. The house is as warm as early summer. There's nothing to worry about!"
"Okay," Baichuanmu couldn't argue with Gojo Satoru, so he had to compromise, "Okay...what about you, Jie? Your ice cream..."
Gojo Satoru answered first: "Since Jie just said that, he definitely doesn't want ice cream! So Aunt Mu, you should cancel his share!"
Geto Suguru didn't really care about this. He originally thought that if Gojo Satoru really liked it that much, he could give his share to him. Anyway, what Gojo Satoru said made sense. It was warm at home, so it didn't matter if he ate a little more ice cream.
But when Geto Suguru looked up, he saw Gojo Satoru's gloating smile and gave up his idea. He didn't want to give his share of ice cream to this bad cat!
Xia Youjie said: "I don't mind, but as my best friend, Wu should share the good and bad times with me, right?"
Gojo Satoru spoke: “I…”
"Because," Xia Youjie interrupted him with a smile, "I know Wu should not be such a coward. After all, if he can't even do such a small thing, how can he be considered the strongest in the future."
Gojo Satoru was choked and speechless.
"Oh oh oh..." Bai Chuanmu, who was watching the show, couldn't help but applaud. She wanted to take out some popcorn and eat it while watching the show, but the consequence of making a sound was that Gojo Satoru would get angry with her and give her a glare from the angry cat.
Baichuan Mu thought, it's a little bit cute.
Then she took out her cell phone and took a picture of the angry cat Satoru and the smiling, scheming fox. She sighed in her heart that she didn't expect these two cubs would be scheming against each other for ice cream. However, Gojo Satoru was still a little inferior to the scheming Geto Suguru.
The clicking sounds of Bai Chuanmu's photos failed to ease the atmosphere or divert attention.
Gojo Satoru coughed lightly and said reluctantly, "I didn't expect you like ice cream so much, Jie. How about... Aunt Mu, can we both not cancel it?"
Baichuan Mu looked at Gojo Satoru, then at Geto Xiayou, and then found that her own child was trying not to laugh, so she smiled helplessly: "Okay~"
She could actually deliberately insist on her own opinion, but she was a little worried that Geto Suguru wouldn't be able to hold back his laughter.
This time Gojo Satoru finally smiled, and he hummed, "Are you satisfied, Jie?"
"Yeah," Xia Youjie nodded with a smile, then grabbed the two front paws of the cat and dog, lifted it up, and handed it to Baichuanmu, "Mom, try it, is it very light?"
Bai Chuanmu caught it doubtfully. The cats and dogs were so light that they seemed to have almost no weight. She could hold them firmly with one hand. She nodded: "Indeed...but..."
But Xia Youjie just walked around with the cat and dog for a few rounds before putting them down. At that time, they looked very heavy.
"The essence of cats and dogs is closer to a doll, and it can change the state of the 'cotton' in its body," said Xia Yujie.
Gojo Satoru added: "It's called 'cotton', but it's actually a kind of cursed energy. It feels like cotton, and its state... is a bit like the gray-green gas just now, but it's very mild."
Xia Youjie rubbed the belly of the cat and dog: "Maybe this can be used as its means of attack. No, to be precise, it should be regarded as an auxiliary. After all, it has no lethality... When it encounters danger, it can use this to interfere with the enemy's vision and sense of smell. This is its special ability, but... It needs to eat the cursed jade to activate it. In short..."
Gojo Satoru was very disgusted: "In short, Cat and Dog is still a useless cursed spirit, and can only be used as a mascot, unless you prepare a cursed spirit jade for it, right?"
Xia Youjie smiled helplessly and nodded: "That's right, but I don't expect it to fight, but it can also be stored in advance for emergencies, but there are very few situations where cats and dogs need to fight."
Baichuanmu touched the heads of cats and dogs thoughtfully, thinking, after all, cats and dogs are with her most of the time. Besides, she will not go to dangerous places, and she has other cursed spirits to protect her.
Gojo Satoru muttered, "I hope it doesn't use this trick in front of me, otherwise I'll beat it up every time I see it."
He also waved his fist in a threatening manner.
Baichuanmu smiled and said, "Hahaha, but if Wu is here, there is really no need for a cat-and-dog fight. Wu is still very reliable."
Gojo Satoru chuckled and said, "You have good taste."
"But..." Bai Chuanmu took the cat and dog in her hands and turned them over and over to check. The cat and dog obediently let her fiddle with them. "I think the cat and dog are so light because I'm an ordinary person and have a weaker sense of things related to cursed spirits?"
"No, CatDog can become as light as it is now, just like a doll, because it can change the state of the 'cotton' in its body in detail, just like there was a small bump on its head before." Xia Yujie waved his finger and gave an order. CatDog meowed and then gradually became heavier. "It can also become as heavy as a real corgi... But it can only change its weight within this range."
"Wow~" Bai Chuanmu couldn't help but sigh and put the heavier cats and dogs on the ground. The cats and dogs meowed and rubbed against her legs. "It's really interesting."
Gojo Satoru spread his hands and said, "I'm not trying to dissuade you, but these are just flashy things. They can only be used as mascots."
Xia Youjie smiled and said, "It's true for cats and dogs, but that's not the point."
Gojo Satoru asked, "What's the point?"
Xia Yujie blinked, and the light in his eyes seemed to become brighter. He said excitedly: "It, they, not only cats and dogs, all cursed spirits can change according to my will when they evolve! And they can also be derived and expanded based on my will--! For example, when cats and dogs evolved, I thought of mascots that could make their mothers happy."
Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows: "That is to say, when the cursed spirits evolve, you can not only control their appearance, but also their abilities."
"It should be half done, but I'm not sure yet. More experiments are needed." Xia Youjie said excitedly. He looked at Gojo Satoru with warm eyes, "Satoru, I need your help!"
