Curse back: Gender-swapped cosplayers always meet the real person

Chapter 418 Baby 2 Sukuna

Ryomen Sukuna neither attacked me nor killed anyone.

I think he must have some kind of plan in his mind, and he actually knows very well what this place is.

But I was too angry to ask him and just walked forward, observing the surroundings and wondering which era I had traveled to.

This is probably the back garden of some noble mansion. The brick walls are more than two meters high and painted white. Tiles are neatly stacked on the roof. The corridor is connected to the pavilion, and on the right is a large lotus pond.

The flowers that should have been in full bloom in the summer are now almost withered.

The edges of the petals curled up and closed inward unnaturally, revealing the yellowed roots. The center of the lotus leaf was dotted with black spots, as if its growth had been forcibly interrupted by some force.

Walking forward, you will see ancient-style houses built with a symmetrical structure. Four houses form a courtyard. Counting the eaves, there are about five courtyards.

Walking from here to there, the first two are as silent as death. You can hear the chirping of cicadas and the singing of birds flying on the branches, and the sound of footsteps on the ground is particularly obvious.

The last three courtyards were brightly lit and filled with noise.

When such sounds are heard here, the lively areas always seem more lively, and the deserted areas seem more deserted, and the dividing line is particularly obvious.

So I took two steps forward and heard it more clearly.

People dressed in light-colored robes, like servants, were walking back and forth in groups of two or three at the entrance, in the corridor, on the gravel road and in the courtyard, looking anxious. The drooping branches of the osmanthus tree in the courtyard were swaying constantly due to the coming and going of people.

The anxious and disoriented footsteps, the rustling curses and mutterings, the sound of water being splashed, and the woman's painful and unstoppable screams, created a scene that made even the onlookers feel extremely anxious.

It looked like someone was giving birth.

When I finally stepped into the courtyard, I heard a baby's loud cry.

What followed was a group of people screaming.

"Monster!!! She gave birth to a monster!!! It's a monster, a monster!!!"

Immediately afterwards, several people stumbled out, stumbled through the door, and passed by me and Ryoumen Sukuna who were standing nearby, as if they didn't see anyone at all.

They fled in such a hurry that they didn't even look back once.

...What monster?

I couldn't help but push open the door that was tightly closed by the last person who escaped, and walked in.

The scene inside the courtyard was even more bleak and horrifying.

The knocked-over stone tables and stone benches, the scattered furnishings, and the footprints left on the soil after being stepped on, left one dirty and messy mark after another.

At the door, there were two corpses wrapped in turbans, lying beside the table, with dilated pupils and eyes open. It seemed that they died from excessive fear.

The place was in a mess.

Two shadowy figures were projected on the only closed screen window, and the sound of conversation could be clearly heard from inside.

An old and heavy voice, probably the Grandma Shen I just heard.

The other one was young and weak, probably the "madam" who had just given birth.

"Madam." After a long silence, Granny Shen stood up, walked up to her, and said, "Before the master of the family comes back, please let me take the child away."

The lady hugged the child tightly in her arms, lowered her head, and did not answer.

"Madam," Granny Shen repeated the second time, her tone becoming anxious. She advised, "This thing was born with two human faces and four pairs of hands. It is a symbol of disaster and bad luck. The head of the family will not allow such a monster to become his eldest son. It will even implicate you who gave birth to it. If you allow it to grow up in the future, it may even be spurned and insulted by the world."

"It would be better if I could just--"

"Mother-in-law," the lady interrupted her, and she said calmly, calmly and firmly, "He is not a monster."

"This is my child."

"There is absolutely no reason in this world for parents to abandon their children to live alone."

"But as for the master of the family." Granny Shen obviously had no confidence in the master she was talking about. She said, "Don't forget, the master of the family has several lovers outside, and he will have a concubine next year. If you don't give up..."

"If the master wants to abandon him, then I will leave with my child."

"Even if you can leave, where can you go?" Granny Shen said in embarrassment, "Even if you are also from a noble family, your mother's family will never accept such a... child, and may even expel you."

After hearing this, I have basically determined where I am and what era this is.

Thousands of years ago, the Cursed King was born.

Ryomen Sukuna remained silent.

He stood quietly by the door, no emotion visible in his eyes, but when Grandma Shen spoke, the corner of his mouth curled up in a vaguely sarcastic smile.

And the conversation inside continues.

"I heard that... the great Onmyoji Abe Haruaki is the son of a white fox and can command many shikigami to serve him. If I beg him, then perhaps I can get him a chance to turn things around and survive."

Hearing this, Ryoumen Sukuna finally spoke.

He turned around and said with an ambiguous expression: "Hey, woman, go in and take him away."

"what?"

"You were told to take him away." He raised his eyebrows and said in a bad tone, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"Why should I listen to you?" I was still worried about Yuji being possessed by him, so I frowned and said, "What did you do to Yuji? Return his body to him immediately."

"Tsk." He flicked his tongue impatiently, thought for a while, and said, "If you do as I say, I will return this kid's body to you."

"Otherwise, I can use it as long as I want. It's up to you."

"What do you mean you can use him as long as you want?" I remembered what happened before, stared at him and said, "What kind of constraints did you make with him?!"

"Just tell me whether you agree or not." His tone became more dangerous. "My patience is limited."

Me: “........” But my patience is limited.

"Hey," I said, "Even if the one in there is your childhood self, it doesn't make sense to just barge in and snatch the baby that a woman has just given birth to with great difficulty."

"What's more, the one inside is your mother."

To be honest, I have little sympathy for Ryoumen Sukuna, but based on the conversation just now, I also know that his mother is not the same kind of person as him.

And it's hard for me to do anything about such people.

However, until now I still don't understand what exactly Zuosuo wants to do.

Mimiko's life or death is uncertain now, and it is unknown whether Glass and Shinji can use the soul-summoning flag to rescue her in time - probably they can.

I was stabbed before I fell into a coma, but now I have fully recovered. After waking up, I actually traveled back a thousand years ago with Ryomen Sukuna. This leap is really too big.

And besides, can he really be in the same time and space as his childhood self?

Isn't there a theory that if your selves from different timelines meet, the universe will explode?

"Tsk, what do you know?"

After a while, he stood at the door, folded his arms and looked inside, paused, and said in a complicated tone: "Her life will be better without me."
