Chapter 139 The moon hangs on the branches, and the flowers fall
Misato Kuroi raised her arms high.
A ray of magical power flashing with blue light hit her wrist, her hand loosened, and the spirit-summoning flag fell to the ground.
Fushiguro Shino used the Wanli Lock to tie up Fushiguro Megumi in front of her.
He grabbed the rope of the overalls and lifted him up from the back.
Fushiguro Shigeru grabbed him and brought him in front of him, scolding him, "You little bastard."
He lowered his head, his hair hanging down, and said nothing.
Although she lost her hostage and was suddenly attacked, Kuroi Satomi did not panic. She stood there quietly.
"Ms. Kuroi..." Xia Youjie frowned and asked, "Even if you hate Fushiguro Shinobu..."
"No need to say more." She took a deep breath, covered her face and said, "I know everything you said."
"I apologize to you." She didn't look at Fushiguro Shier, but turned to me, "You have been taking care of this child, right?"
"I'm sorry for taking him away rashly."
With tears in her eyes, she looked at me with eyes full of sorrow.
This is the look of a mother who has lost her child.
I shook my head slightly.
If I were to say sorry, actually in my heart, I have always felt a certain sense of guilt towards Tenriko.
Not just because I saved her killer.
Moreover, if I had come a day earlier, perhaps the situation would have been completely different.
Even though Jiujiu Yuki said, she and I are accomplices.
But only I know that we are different.
"I won't kill you, just go." Fushiguro Jiner gently put Fushiguro Megumi down and said calmly.
Kuroi Satomi took a step back and laughed low, sadly.
“Hehehe…” She laughed, “Do I still need you to kill me?”
"I'm already as good as dead."
She looked up at the moon in the sky. Today was not a full moon.
A crescent, cold, sickle-like moon hung on the branches. Although it was summer, the air in the mountains felt cold.
With a sigh, Kuroi Satomi picked up the soul-calling flag again and began to tell the story as if she were telling a story.
"Every day since Master Tian died, I have been like a walking corpse," she murmured to herself, "I regret it, I regret it very much."
"If he had taken her away and ran away, would she still be alive now?"
“Then one day, a guy came up to me,” she continued, “and he handed me this thing.”
I frowned deeply.
"Who is this person?" I asked.
"I don't know him, but that doesn't matter." She shook her head.
"He had a mouth that seemed to have magic power, and he told me in a bewitching way that as long as I sacrificed a person's soul, I could call back the soul of the deceased."
She took a step back and pointed the spirit-summoning flag at herself.
This time, she moved quickly and without any hesitation, piercing deep into the artery.
The blood flowed along the spikes into the bell and quickly spread throughout the entire bell.
The black flag without any words began to flutter in the wind, and Tenno Riko's name appeared on it.
As the pure white flowers were dyed bright red one by one, the flower of afterlife was also slowly blooming.
"I thought about asking Fushiguro Megumi to be sacrificed," she said, "but he is just like the Tenten-sama I just met. He is so small, a child. I can't do it."
Due to rapid blood loss, Kuroi Rimi's face turned pale.
She collapsed to the ground, her head resting on the tombstone, staring deeply at the girl with a bright smile.
"My Lord." The female voice, which had become sharp due to anger and hatred, became gentle again, "From now on, you will live in my body."
"Hei Jing!" Xia Youjie rushed to her and reached out to pull out the soul-summoning flag, but she held it tightly.
She shook her head, "Suyu-kun, don't stop me."
"do not want!"
"No, no, no!" The left half of Kuroi Rimi's face slowly turned into the appearance of Tenchi Riko.
Tears fell from the deep blue eyes.
"Master Tiantian!" Kuroi Rimi burst into surprise, "Master Tiantian, you're back!"
"I really didn't think that I would see you again."
She kept on talking, "It's okay. I'm glad that Master Tian came back..."
Tenriko interrupted her excitedly, "I don't want Kuroi to die for me!"
Kuroi Satomi was silent.
"You, Kuroi, have always been my only relative."
Tenriko said, "Death is death, it is something that cannot be undone."
As she spoke, she slightly side-glanced at Geto Suguru in front of her.
"Suguru-kun." She closed her eyes and said, "I really, really want to keep living."
"But I hope that Kuroi can survive, so... please do it."
“.......”Silence spread in the air.
After a few seconds, Geto Xiayou nodded slightly.
"Goodbye, Riko-chan," he said gently.
"Goodbye, everyone." Tennenoriko turned around and looked at the people standing in front of her.
Her gaze stayed on the moon in the sky, and she stammered, "The flowers have fallen......"
Then he closed his eyes.
The soul-calling flag was pulled out and blood splattered on Xia Yujie's face.
The flowers that interrupted the ceremony slowly faded back to their original color, closing one by one.
A strong hand pressed on the wound, and blood flowed out, slowly and quietly.
"Jie, leave it to me." Gojo Satoru walked behind Geto Xiayou and put his hand on his shoulder. "I'll send her to Nozomi for treatment right away."
"Yes." Xia Youjie nodded and said, "Satoru, please."
The blood-stained spirit-calling banner was thrown to the ground.
"Fuguro Shiori." He asked, "Is this the result you want?"
"......." Fuguro Shier finally said, "At that time, I didn't think of any consequences."
"Kill Gojo Satoru, or be killed by Gojo Satoru." He said, "It doesn't matter."
"So you don't care now?" I looked at him sideways.
Fushiguro Shiji: “….”
I walked up to Fushiguro Megumi, squatted down and asked him seriously, "Megumi, why did you leave the Jujutsu School with Miss Kuroi?"
Fushiguro Megumi hesitated for a moment and looked at Fushiguro Shier, "She said that you killed the most important person to her."
"Humph." Fushiguro Shige snorted coldly, "So you followed her out?"
"......"
"You can't ignore the danger!" I pinched his cheek angrily, "Do you know that everyone is worried about you?"
"She didn't mean to hurt me." Fushiguro Megumi paused, then said, pulling her mouth apart, "I felt it."
"I'm afraid you don't just think that, right?" Fushiguro Shige folded his arms and snorted coldly, "I will take responsibility for what I have done."
"You don't need to atone for your sins."
"But......."
"You don't need to do that!" Shen Er said with a straight face, "Just remember it clearly."
Fushiguro Megumi was stunned and stopped talking.
Fushiguro Shigeki scratched his head and picked up Fushiguro Megumi again in annoyance.
"Tsk." He said, "You really deserve a beating, kid. I have to give you a beating this time."
Fushiguro Megumi: “….”
As he said this, he turned his gaze to me.
I:"........"
What do you mean.....to ask for my opinion?
"He's still young." I coughed twice and said, "So just spank his butt. He has lots of flesh on his butt."
Fushiguro Megumi's eyes quickly dimmed.
I turned my head and looked in other directions.
There’s no way, Hui. Your father is on the right side this time, and your aunt can’t save you.
