Chapter 88: Final Episode

＊＊＊

"It really was a bomb that blew up so many cockroaches in the sewer."

When Hanami followed Megumi and prepared to get to know him quietly, a frightening voice sounded in front of Hanami.

"...?"

Megumi was sweating coldly and stiff all over.

He couldn't believe that he had been followed by the cursed spirit for so long without noticing.

"Gojo... sensei?"

An unexpected person appeared in the dark and narrow corridor on the first floor.

When Megumi looked over in the direction of the voice, he saw the tall white-haired man and a white-haired boy walking in calmly from the broken window.

Megumi was stunned, "And... Inumaki-senpai?"

"Toge."

Satoru stared at Hanami standing in the shadow with a sinister look, and the man stretched out his big hand and gently touched Toge's hair.

"If you want to go, go ahead. She should be here on the rooftop. Just leave things here to me."

"..."

Toge looked at Hanami, then turned his head to look at Satoru. There was hesitation in his purple eyes, but more determination.

The boy swallowed and nodded seriously to Satoru.

Then, he ran towards the stairs without looking back.

"Next..."

Satoru turned his attention back to Hanami.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and a relaxed smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He stretched out his hand to Megumi from a distance and said slowly, "Megumi, come to me."

•

*bang!*

A deafening sound like an explosion came from downstairs.

"?!"

Mahito who was about to attack Tiantian suddenly changed his expression.

The cursed spirit opened his eyes wide and looked at the direction of the first floor in disbelief.

"?"

Before Tiantian and Yuji could tell what was going on, Mahito's face was uncertain, and his eyes were filled with an extremely strong desire to survive. He ignored them and turned around and jumped down from the building.

"Wait!!"

Yuji was furious.

The boy looked terrified and uneasy.

He walked quickly to the edge of the rooftop and stretched his head down to look for Mahito's trace; but in the end he only saw a pile of slime-like things sliding into the sewer.

"..."

At that moment.

Yuji's face was empty and dead.

For a long time.

He smiled bitterly with a pale face.

"Haha, in the end, nothing was accomplished."

Tiantian: "Itadori?"

She saw that Yuji was not in a good mood, and did not dare to delay too much for a while, so she hurriedly walked towards Yuji.

"!!"

Yuji looked more and more desperate as he watched the girl behind him approach.

In the end, the boy held the edge of the rooftop tightly with both hands. He gritted his teeth and his expression became resolute. Yuji's strong arms flipped over the wall of the rooftop and his body fell to the other side of the tall building.

"..."

Yuji's face was neither happy nor sad.

At the last moment, he stared at the flat ground downstairs; he didn't know what to think.

This child who didn't kill anyone.

Decided to kill himself.

•

"!!"

Yuji's fall stopped.

The boy's tears slid down his cheeks, washing his turbid golden eyes crystal clear.

A huge binding force was tied to Yuji's shoulders.

"..."

When Yuji regained consciousness, he saw the unknown girl with her arms around his back, carefully dragging him back from the edge of the rooftop.

Yuji's eyes were red, and waves of tears kept hitting his nose, making his nose sore.

It was at this moment.

He suddenly couldn't control his emotions and collapsed.

"Enough! Let me go! At least let me decide my own fate!"

The boy struggled hard, but no matter how he struggled, Tiantian's strength was as solid as a rock, and he couldn't get out of her arms.

"Do you think I don't know anything?" Yuji yelled.

"Mr. Mahito said that as long as I eat the finger, my life will be over. Even if I don't end everything myself, someone will come to kill me."

"Since you are going to leave, why don't you let me leave by myself?"

"Are you going to deprive me of my last right?"

"Shh... shh..."

Tiantian held Yuji's shoulder with one hand and kept stroking Yuji's hair with the other hand, trying to comfort him.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

"No one wants to kill you, no one will hurt you."

Yuji collapsed and said, "It's a lie! It's all a lie! You! And Mahito, and grandpa! They are all liars!"

"Let me go, I beg you."

The boy changed his tone of anger and began to beg humbly.

It sounded like begging for mercy.

"I'm really, really tired, let me rest for a while."

Then, Yuji began to speak incoherently.

"I, I haven't rested well since a week ago. I'm really too tired. I've been looking for him, I, I haven't found anyone until now, I have no home, I have no grandpa, I have nothing, it's over, everything is over, it's all my fault... my grandpa, my grandpa... I'm done, I'm done..."

At the end... Yuji burst into tears, his inarticulate speech accompanied by wailing, like the last roar of an animal before death.

There was no company to continue.

A loved one who died in a bed.

Staying in the same room with a corpse for two days.

This was one of the reasons that made Yuji collapse.

•

"Itadori, your grandfather's death is not your fault."

Tiantian gently turned Itadori around, held his face with both hands, and looked seriously at the boy's tearful eyes.

"The old man died of heart failure."

Tiantian said seriously.

"Your grandpa passed away peacefully, without pain. His end was coming."

The girl's voice was slow and light, so that Itadori could hear it better.

"...?"

Sure enough.

Hearing the keywords [end is coming] and [no pain].

Yuji's expression was slightly stunned.

And now, Tiantian continued to speak.

"Your grandpa knew he was dying, and he didn't want to go to the hospital because he just wanted to spend the last moments with you."

"This was his selfish desire. Old people are like this. They return to their roots. You were by his side, holding his hand tightly, giving him the courage to face death and the calmness of the end."

At this point, Tiantian patted Yuji's face and smiled.

"Imagine that when you are old and dying, your children take you home. The surrounding environment is warm and familiar, no longer the cold corridor of the hospital."

"You even took a hot bath and ate your favorite food with an appetite."

"In the end, your children snuggled up to your bedside, just like when they were little."

"..."

Yuji listened to Tiantian's words, and his pupils gradually dilated.

The boy held her hand tightly, as if he was holding the last straw.

Tiantian: "There is no better way to leave. In this case, how can you say that your grandfather's way of death is wrong?"

"Itadori."

She looked into the boy's eyes seriously and hinted at him again and again.

"Be brave, be brave, Itadori."

"The elders watched us grow up, and we also have to watch the elders die; although everything is painful, as children, we have to witness their lives, right?"

"Life is a long farewell."

"Don't be afraid, be brave, look it straight, face it."

"Now."

Tiantian patted Yuji's shoulder.

"Relax, leave everything to me."

[System prompt: Transferring the power of Ryomen Sukuna's remains.]

A burst of white light enveloped Yuji and Tiantian.

In a dazzling white light, Yuji slowly closed his eyes.

The white light brought the spring afternoon breeze and the pleasant smell of sunshine on grandpa's clothes.

Suddenly.

Yuji felt like he was sitting at his desk, back to the eve of preparing for the midterm exam.

Complex math problems, messy English problems.

He was mentally broken, lying on the table and yelling in frustration.

'Can I? Can I really do this?'

The sound of footsteps came.

Grandpa brought a plate of ice watermelon and calmly came to the table, placing it next to his desk.

Yuji looked up and stared at the old man quietly.

The old man in his memory was still serious and unkind.

But this time, he did not yell at Yuji.

'Yuji.'

Grandpa touched his head, his voice calm.

'Be brave like a man.'

'You have to be an optimistic and kind child, live healthily and safely.'

"......!"

Yuji woke up.

The boy's face was full of tears, looking at the empty room.

"Grandpa?"

He murmured.

The window screen in the room moved slightly, the spring outside the window was full of spring, and the watermelon on the table was frost-stained.

Everything was over.

Everything just started.

•

[Fusion begins.]

"Arrgggghhhhh!"

An unbearable pain came from Tiantian's whole body.

It was not a simple physical pain, but the pain of her soul and body being torn apart.

When removing Ryomen Sukuna from Yuji's body, Tiantian also found that there were some messy cursed corpses in the boy's body.

Those cursed corpses that did not belong to Ryomen Sukuna should be the cursed corpses of some low-level cursed spirits.

Probably Mahito took these things as experimental subjects and stuffed them into Yuji's body in the early stage.

And now, Tiantian decided to clean them all up and not leave any hidden dangers to Yuji's body.

•

"?!"

When Toge came to the rooftop, he saw Yuji unconscious on the ground and Tiantian rolling on the ground in pain.

Tiantian was in a very bad state.

There were wounds of all sizes on her body, blood was flowing, and patches of reddish-brown were rubbed on the ground, which looked very tragic.

"Tiantian?!"

Toge's face turned pale, and he quickly walked forward and hugged Tiantian in his arms.

•

"..."

In the haze of severe pain, she felt something cold falling on her face.

Like morning dew.

Tiantian reluctantly opened her eyes.

She saw Toge crying and stroking her hair over and over again.

"What's wrong with you?" Toge asked.

"Are you going to die? Don't scare me, okay?"

The boy gently took her hand and rubbed her bloody wrist and palm with his lips.

"..."

Tiantian's eyelids were stuck together by blood, and she could hardly open her eyes.

In the haze, she still felt something flowing in her wrist and palm.

Cold and soft.

Finally, the cool feeling moved to her forehead, nose, and lips.

"Wake up, don't sleep."

Toge's voice was a little unclear.

This little drama made Tiantian feel like she was really going to die.

At the same time, she felt a little scared.

This system would not abandon her after using her, would it really throw her away after using her, and kill her?

Thinking of this, Tiantian couldn't help but feel sad, and was really a little sad.

But no matter what, she couldn't leave a psychological shadow on Toge.

This was her bottom line.

Tiantian sat up in shock from her dying illness and reached out to touch Toge's cheek.

"Toge... do you know what escpae plan is..."

Before she finished speaking, Tiantian's neck tilted.

She was out of breath.

Toge: "..."

The boy was completely dumbfounded.

He hugged Tiantian, his face pale, and sat there stupidly, at a loss.

But before he collapsed, Toge rolled his eyes, and a mysterious force interrupted his train of thought.

At the same time, Donut's body began to crumble—

[System prompt: Mission completed.]

•

When Toge woke up again, he felt as if he was lying on a soft bed.

There was the smell of blankets under him, and he felt warm all over as if he was indoors.

"Tiantian!"

Toge suddenly woke up, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

He remembered...

At the last moment of his memory, Tiantian's head tilted, and it was unclear whether she was dead or alive.

Ah... that look... it was probably...

Thinking of this, Toge felt a suffocating pain in his chest.

•

[China College Entrance Examination Experience System has been bound—]

A vague voice came to the boy's ears.

But his current mood and grief made him no longer have the extra leisure to pay attention to these.

Tiantian...

Toge's chest rose and fell rapidly, and he could hardly breathe, relying on biological instinct to breathe again.

She clearly said that she would be fine.

*slap*

Toge was slightly stunned.

Something hit his arm.

The boy turned his head and found a black-haired woman wearing a pink sling lying next to his bed.

"......?"

A bold idea filled Toge's chest.

At that moment, he almost stopped breathing.

With trembling hands, he gently turned the woman over.

A white face was revealed in the messy black hair.

"!!"

Toge took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

He recognized this face.

It was Tiantian.

The boy carefully placed his fingers on her artery.

The strong beating made people feel at ease.

Toge, who could no longer hold back his emotions, suddenly bent down, hugged Tiantian tightly, and cried bitterly.

•

"Tiantian, don't sleep, get up and cook."

At this moment, a woman in pajamas pushed the door open without hesitation, and was ready to wake Tiantian up with dead fish eyes.

"..."

Then, she and Toge on the bed began to look at each other.

Toge looked at the woman's blue eyes and gray hair, and was stunned for a moment. He didn't react for a long time and lay on Tiantian blankly.

"..."

Mother Liu looked at a strange white-haired man who was not too old. He was wearing a black outfit like a nightgown, half of his face was covered, and he was sneaking on his daughter's body. How disgusting it was.

The woman was stunned.

The woman's face was murderous.

The woman was furious.

Mother Liu picked up the "Qinglong Knife" made by Tiantian at the door, "F*ck your mother, you shameless thing! You r*pist in my daughter's room!"

Toge: "..."

Auntie, wait! What were you talking about? I don't understand Chinese!

[System prompt: Should you always change the voice package of China's five thousand years?]

At this time, the voice just now appeared in Toge's ears again.

[System prompt: China College Entrance Examination Experience System is officially online! Risk-free smuggling, one-on-one tutoring by 6,800 famous teachers! Punch Ivy League! Trampling IELTS and TOEFL! What are you waiting for?]

Toge: "??????!!!"

Tiantian! Help!!!
