Chapter 15 Find him, kill him

The air seemed to freeze.

Gojo Satoru, who claims to be the strongest, has been lawless since birth and has an arrogant attitude towards everything and everyone, just calmly looked at Kagura Mio lying on the ground.

The room looked extremely messy. The six eyes could see the remnants of cursed energy and knew clearly that someone had erased all traces and information in the room.

"You've been planning this for a long time, right?" Gojo Satoru said softly.

He was not angry, nor was he sad, even his breathing was eerily steady, as if nothing had happened.

But the walls of the entire room began to distort and the floor seats vibrated, as if they were squeezed to the limit by invisible pressure.

“······What do you mean?”

Gojo Satoru didn’t know what his mood was. In short, he had no mood at all. He just looked at everything happening in front of him calmly and indifferently, without feeling any emotion. Only his rapidly spinning brain was constantly analyzing everything.

How could Kagura Mio, his good classmate, his childhood sweetheart who had taken the blame for him so many times since they were young, the gentle but rebellious one, become like this?

She was just resting in the hotel, how could this happen?

He was just out on a mission, why was she like this?

Gojo Satoru looked at Kagura Mio indifferently, bent down without hesitation and hugged the girl lying on the ground, put Sukuna's fingers into his trouser pocket with one hand, and then took her away.

Bang—

his right foot stepped lightly on the floor, and the thickly carpeted floor instantly cracked into spider-web-like cracks.

He wasn't angry at all, he just needed to find that person.

—Find him and kill him.

He will do it. This is Gojo Satoru's promise to Kagura Mio, and it is also his oath to himself.

-

“······How come you are injured so badly?” Ieiri Naoko said through the phone, her voice still lazy as usual, but even an optimist like Haibara Yu could hear that Ieiri senior was really angry this time.

"Aren't you the strongest?"

"..." On the other end of the phone, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru were silent.

Haibara Yu couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere. He scratched his head and took the initiative to speak up to help, saying, "Maybe we encountered a difficult enemy--"

"It's my responsibility." Gojo Satoru's voice was light.

Being with Geto Suguru, he had long since shut down his bottom line, but the bruises on his face still showed his fatigue.

It was rare for the boy to have such a calm expression. Xia Yujie glanced at him calmly and reminded him in a low voice: "This is a hospital."

"Yeah, I know." Gojo Satoru said softly.

"······" Geto Suguru remained silent, recalling the scene when he met Gojo Satoru just now.

When Geto Suguru rushed to the hospital, Gojo Satoru had already completed the admission procedures for Kagura Mio. As soon as he came in, he saw the white-haired boy who was lively and jumping in the past sitting on the long sofa at the entrance of the hospital, his legs slightly apart, his elbows on his legs, and his exposed profile looking indifferent and calm.

It was already evening, and the lights in the hospital were warm and bright, shining on the boy's face, which should have made him look gentle and calm, but Geto Suguru suddenly felt that Gojo Satoru was very lonely.

Obviously, such an expression should not appear on him, and obviously he should not have any expression of sadness or loneliness. Obviously, they are the strongest -

but Gojo Satoru had such a real and concrete expression, as if he could run and jump into the Seto Inland Sea at any time.

For a moment, Geto Suguru suspected Gojo Satoru and he wouldn't find it strange even if he was told now that he would turn the entire Sendai upside down to find the suspect.

But it’s not.

That is Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru is flamboyant, arrogant, and confident, but he is also rational and restrained.

This guy is sometimes not that brave when facing emotions and might even choose to escape at the first moment. Kagura Mio is special to him, but Gojo Satoru's basic character will not change.

He couldn't possibly disturb the peace of the entire city just for one person.

But he will definitely track down a person to the end, no matter where he goes, he will find that person.

Geto Xiayou didn't dare to breathe and sat in silence beside Gojo Satoru until Gojo Satoru spoke to him first.

"Jie, we are the strongest, right?"

Xia Youjie hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes. Wu, it's just a mistake. Don't let this matter -" doubt yourself.

"No, I'm not thinking about that."

Gojo Satoru's mind was filled with everything the six-eyed man saw.

The six eyes that can see through everything cannot see through the heart of the girl he likes, but by chance he sees through the secret she has been hiding so hard, and he doesn't even know whether he should mention it to her.

As Kagura Mio's technique further escalates, her personality begins to deconstruct.

Gojo Satoru didn't know what would happen and what kind of disaster would be caused if Kagura Mio was completely deconstructed, but he only knew that Kagura Mio would definitely not want this to happen.

She is such a proud, strong yet fragile girl. She cannot accept that her personality is being parasitized by someone else.

What should he do then?

Theoretically, Gojo Satoru would eliminate anything that Kagura Mio didn't want to do, but Gojo Satoru sadly discovered for the first time:

he couldn't do it.

It was impossible for him to help Kagura Mio accomplish this. That was Kagura Mio's own technique, and that was Kagura Mio's own destiny.

Gojo Satoru suddenly realized that even if he was the strongest, he couldn't take care of her all the time, nor could he protect her from harm.

Even if he is the strongest, he can't do everything.

So, facing the questioning from Ieiri Shoko, Gojo Satoru simply said that it was all his responsibility.

Almost everyone noticed Gojo Satoru's abnormality - whether it was Geto Suguru who was sitting next to Gojo Satoru, or the three people who were gathered in a circle on the other end of the phone.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Geto Suguru looked at Gojo Satoru, the white-haired boy was looking out the window at this moment.

His handsome face looked particularly stunning amid the chirping of cicadas in early summer, like the melancholy protagonist of a girls' comic, but it was precisely the melancholy that made Geto Suguru feel stunning.

He suddenly realized that Gojo Satoru was not just feeling sad for Kagura Mio, he also finally broke his own fantasy of being omniscient and omnipotent, and completed his growth in a sense.

For Geto Suguru, it was when he was very young that he realized that there were some things even they couldn't do - he couldn't go home safely without an umbrella.

But Gojo Satoru can do it. When will the young master of the Gojo family ever have troubles?

Master Gojo, who had been growing up in an omniscient and omnipotent environment, finally became a human being at this moment. He finally realized that there were some things he couldn't do.

Geto Suguru also realized that there are some things Gojo Satoru cannot do.

Even Gojo Satoru can't do it.

The two people fell into silence. Just as Ieiri Shoko was about to say something, she heard Gojo Satoru say on the other end of the phone: "It would be great if I could reverse the ritual."

"..."

Gojo Satoru looked at Geto Suguru calmly, took the phone from him, and whispered to Ieiri Shoko: "When I get back, please teach me the reversal ritual."

Ieiri Shoko, who had never been so obedient and well-behaved, nodded silently and hung up the phone.

Gojo Satoru put down his phone, stretched, looked at Geto Suguru who was going to buy him coffee, and suddenly spoke.

"Jie, I have the answer to the question you asked me."

"..."

"Didn't you ask me what to do if she wants to die?"

Gojo Satoru looked at Geto Suguru, a strange emotion brewing in his glass-like eyes.

He laughed to himself, as if he had found a new answer: "I will find a way to keep her alive. Mio Mio, she obviously wants to live so much."

"No matter what, I will let her live."

Summer Oil Geto's breathing paused: "······You are crazy."

Gojo Satoru chuckled and said, "No, Geto. I just think that I am the strongest. I want to protect her and I want to be with her forever. If something happens to her, I will take all responsibility for it, as long as she can come back."

He simply couldn't accept Kagura Mio lying coldly in front of him.

They have lived together since they were five years old, and now they are sixteen, and Gojo Satoru has never thought of separating from Kagura Mio.

To him, Kagura Mio exists forever.

The compatibility of their techniques is 99%, the strongest. They are a well-known fighting CP in the world of sorcery, and are young geniuses known as the Sun and the Moon. They will be together forever.

He couldn't accept her leaving him.

-When

Kagura Mio woke up, she saw Gojo Satoru sitting beside her bed, motionless. The dark circles under his eyes revealed how long he had been sitting there and how long he had not slept.

She cleared her throat with some difficulty and watched Gojo Satoru calmly pour her a glass of water before going to call the nurse.

"······"

Her brain was spinning rapidly, and Kagura Mio was frantically trying to recall why she was lying here. She clearly remembered that she met a strong enemy and failed to defeat him, so she was injured. Then who brought her back? Judging from the posture, this is Gojo Satoru, right?

But something was wrong, something was wrong -

Kagura Mio closed her eyes tightly, her brows furrowed, and the moment her heart beat, she resonated with a certain pain, and that pain made her remember for a moment that her technique almost got out of control.

“······”

A terrible thought formed in my heart.

Gojo Satoru, do you know her situation?

Kagura Mio's breathing stopped instantly.

She didn't know what to do. She instinctively felt uneasy. She felt that her secret had been discovered, and she was afraid from the bottom of her heart - first, she was

afraid that she would lose control and become a container for the ritual, and second, she was afraid that if Gojo Satoru found out, it would become difficult for the two of them to get along.

As the holder of the technique, of course she had known about the BUG of the technique since she was a child, but this secret that she had suppressed for many years was suddenly known by the person she least wanted to know. For Kagura Mio, this was the most terrifying thing.

She didn't know how to face herself, let alone how to face him.

So she chose to remain silent until the nurse finished checking her physical condition. After Gojo Satoru sent the nurse away, he gently closed the door of the ward.

The strange silence made Kagura Mio a little anxious, so she asked first: "Where's Jie?"

"Why don't you ask yourself? Ask him as soon as you wake up?" Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows, leaned against the door, and looked at her with a smile.

Kagura Mio was silent for a moment.

The tacit understanding between childhood sweethearts made her ask directly: "You know everything, right?"

Gojo Satoru nodded: "Yes."

Kagura Mio said nothing.

She didn't know what to say.

At this moment, she just felt embarrassed.

She couldn't accept herself like that, and now she was forced to show herself like that in front of Gojo Satoru. For her, this situation would be worse than letting her run naked.

She couldn't accept herself facing Gojo Satoru nakedly and honestly. She always felt that their relationship needed restraint and suppression, and a certain sense of distance, but the person in front of her didn't seem to think so at all.

Gojo Satoru yawned lazily, pulled over a chair and sat down, fiddled with his sunglasses lightly with his fingertips, revealing a pair of beautiful and delicate eyes.

He stared at Kagura Mio and smiled: "Don't worry, Mio! I won't tell your secret to anyone."

He pointed to his six eyes, "There's nothing I can do, I saw it with my eyes. I didn't mean to pry into your privacy."

"But--"

Gojo Satoru said softly: "You must always work very hard to live."

"Otherwise--"

"Otherwise what?" Kagura Mio curled the corners of her mouth and looked at him with interest.

"I will lock you up. Lock you in a room where I am the only one there, so that you can only see me in your life."

If no one hurts her, she will not die.

The boy's eyes were fiery and determined, and Kagura Mio suddenly realized that Gojo Satoru could really do this, he was not joking.

Kagura Mio, who always talked big and flirted with him casually, felt ashamed at this moment. She looked away inadvertently and teased him in a natural way: "Gojo Satoru, you don't have any strange feelings for me, do you?"

Gojo Satoru said indifferently: "I have had strange feelings for you for a long time."

Gojo Satoru really thought so. At worst, he could tie her up for life. It didn't matter if she hated him or disliked him.

He just wanted her to live.
