"Because he never doubted it."
Gojo Satoru replied to his message quickly, as if he had been staring at his phone waiting for his message.
The black-haired boy typed on the screen with his eyes downcast, then raised his eyes to look at what was happening not far away.
As a person with a keen intuition, Yuji Itadori quickly sensed Geto Suguru's emotions and is now explaining to him in a panic.
Fushiguro Megumi pursed her lips, lowered her head and continued typing.
A few minutes later, Yuji Itadori brought Geto Suguru towards them. Megumi Fushiguro took a last look at the screen and put away her phone.
Yuji Itadori shook his head and said with a hint of worry and a request for help, "Fushiguro, Nagisa..."
"Please help me explain this to Mr. Getsu. I feel like he doesn't believe what I'm saying."
"What? This kind of thing sounds fake."
"It's true."
The two voices rang out almost at the same time.
After hearing Fushiguro Megumi's answer, the other two looked at him blankly.
Kugino Rose pulled him and Itadori Yuji to a nearby place and whispered, "I think it's better for this kind of prank to stop here."
"If we all die, Gojo Satoru may not die."
"Yeah!" Yuji Itadori nodded silently.
Fushiguro Megumi pushed the two of them apart and came back to Geto Suguru. He looked up at Geto Suguru and said to him, "Gojo Satoru is dead."
"The cause of death was an attack by a cursed spirit."
He stared at Getsu without blinking.
When he heard the cause of death, the black-haired young man's eyes changed slightly.
But after Fushiguro Megumi uttered his first words, a certain aura surrounded the young man.
He carefully identified it and found that the aura represented "relief". Yes, it was "relief".
He is the kind of person who is nervous for a long time, waiting for a bad ending that is bound to come. Before the bad ending comes, he is worried and fearful. But when the bad ending actually comes, he will feel a sense of relief, "It's finally here", and a feeling of "breathing a sigh of relief".
...This is how Geto Suguru feels right now.
Megumi Fushiguro was a little confused. He knew that Geto Suguru was Gojo Satoru's best friend, and he also knew that this Geto Suguru was from a parallel world.
——But, but no matter how much I nitpicked the words, no matter how much I searched through the parallel world that Geto Suguru had described, I couldn't find the slightest trace of tragedy.
It’s as if they in the parallel world truly achieved a perfect happy ending.
Looking back now, Fushiguro Megumi suddenly realized that there was something abnormal about the world depicted by Geto Suguru.
It is so beautiful, so beautiful that it does not feel real at all, it is like a sweet dream.
If you wake up from the dream, you will be forced to face the miserable reality - which is undoubtedly extremely cruel.
But his current action is equivalent to personally cutting off the colorful and sweet appearance for him, grabbing out the rotten and fetid inside and spreading it under the sun.
He is like a cold-blooded executioner.
However, he must be the executioner, because if the wound is not treated and is hidden, then the originally insignificant wound will gradually expand until it devours his host.
Yuji Itadori took Fushiguro Megumi's cell phone, which the boy threw to them before he went to Geto Suguru.
After unlocking the phone, the screen showed the chat history between him and Gojo Satoru.
The content of the chat was probably about Gojo Satoru's thoughts on this matter. I won't write too much about it here. Both of them only focused on the last sentence.
"Try it out, Jay."
These words were completely different from Gojo Satoru's usual way of doing things; they carried a solemn meaning.
The pink-haired boy couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Geto Suguru who was standing over there. The stiff smile on the young man's face was gradually retracted by him, and his whole face became even more indifferent.
But he seemed to be shrouded in a layer of deep sadness that seemed to swallow people up, but when Yuji Itadori really felt it, that emotion disappeared without a trace.
The young man was calm, as if nothing had happened. He stared at the black-haired boy in front of him numbly and indifferently. He seemed to be detached from the world, with such a faint sense of existence that he almost disappeared from this world.
Yuji Itadori was a little confused. Kagome Takeshi's expression was too complicated: relief, numbness, sadness...
These emotions can be felt in him.
But how could someone feel numb after learning of the death of a close friend?
No one present understood it at all, and probably no one will understand it in the future.
"That's how it is." Xia Yujie spoke in a trance, his voice was erratic, as if it would disappear into the air with the wind at any time.
After a while, he seemed to realize something, his expression twisted, and his eyes were filled with pain.
He muttered something in a low voice, and sticky black cursed energy began to appear behind him. The cursed energy surged and rolled, gradually condensing into a twisted and bizarre cursed spirit.
The cursed spirit put several hands on Geto's neck, and with a ferocious look on its face, it wrapped its arms around his neck. Its twelve blood-red eyes stared intently at the young man in front of it. It slowly moved to Geto's ear and roared in pain and anger, "Why... Why!"
"Why...why do you have to..."
Its voice was fragmented and could hardly form a complete sentence, but the anger and pain in its voice showed that it was not a cursed spirit that could be underestimated.
Xia Youjie was strangled by him, but there was an inexplicable smile in his eyes. He took the initiative to move closer to the cursed spirit and raised his chin so that it could grip his fatal point more easily.
At the same time, he said, "Yeah, why ..."
Because his throat was squeezed, the words were almost forced out by him, hoarse and broken.
Megumi Fushiguro reacted quickly. He quickly made a hand shadow and the jade dog emerged from the shadow.
Kugino Rose and Itadori Yuji also reacted and they both assumed fighting stances at the same time.
But this cursed spirit was not something they could deal with right now. That cursed spirit was totally unlike a newborn cursed spirit. It was top-notch in both combat nerves and intelligence. He had been using Geto Suguru to block it in front of him.
