Note: The description of the torii in the article is quoted from Baidu Encyclopedia.

There was a voice in the dream that seemed to come from far away,

From far to near, echoing in the ears.

"Enlightenment. Enlightenment? Why are you in a daze?"

A hand waved in front of his eyes, Gojo Satoru's originally blurred thinking gradually became clearer,

He looked at the person who appeared before him,

The other party was a handsome boy with black hair and purple eyes,

About seventeen or eighteen years old,

It was someone he had never met before, but his manner of talking to him was very familiar.

[Strange...how could I...appear here suddenly? 】

【I just... came back from the meeting of the Yusan family... broke off the engagement... 14 years old... dreaming...】

thinking intermittently,

When I think about it again, I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my mind,

The boy with black hair and purple eyes looked at him,

There was a faint worry in his expression: "Wu, are you really okay?"

"Don't worry, Jay, I won't sleepwalk at critical moments."

He heard himself say these words, and for an instant—the hazy world that was originally separated by a layer of white mist suddenly became clear before his eyes.

Gojo Satoru remembered.

This year, the boy in front of him is the same age as him,

It was a classmate he met in a high school,

He is also his best friend Xia Youjie.

"It's fine." Xia Youjie said,

"Although there is news about Shimizu Sakura,

But don't get your hopes up too much.Four years have passed, and it is hard to say whether she is dead or alive now. "

"News from Shimizu Sakura"?

"Dead or alive"?

These two keywords suddenly dragged Gojo Satoru violently to the past.

what,

He remembered.

When Shimizu Sakura was eight years old, he was brought to his side by the Gojo family.

In order to protect her, he gave her the status of his fiancee.However, he didn't like this weak little girl, and he never planned to marry her in the future.

Although he protects her, he has always been indifferent to her, even though he knows that she likes to rely on herself,

But at the age of 14, the marriage contract between them was dissolved.

【No...he is not indifferent to Sakura...he has always been... coaxing her to protect her...】

My head hurts again, and my tumbling thoughts are cut off again.

Gojo Satoru continued to recall.

At the age of 14, the day after the marriage contract was broken, Shimizu Sakura disappeared.

She disappeared without a trace in Wujo's main house, and was snatched away under his nose.

In the past four years, he has used almost all the available power of the Wutiao family to find her, but there has been no news of her.

Where is Shimizu Sakura?Who was it that took her away?What is the purpose of that person?Is she dead or alive now?

For four full years, these questions remained unanswered.

Although Gojo Satoru doesn't like Shimizu Sakura and has always been indifferent to her since he was a child, he has promised to protect her after all.

It is a shame for him to not do what he promised, and even let her be taken away by his side.

Since she disappeared, he always dreamed of her in his dreams, the girl was crying sadly and pitifully, and kept calling his name begging him to save her.Gojo Satoru knew it was just a dream, but he couldn't contain the deep frustration he felt every time he woke up from the dream.

"Saving Shimizu Sakura" has gradually become his obsession over the past four years.

This year, he finally had a clue about her.

Although Xia Youjie has never met Qingshuiying, he heard his best friend talk about her, knowing that the idea of ​​finding her has almost become Gojo Wu's obsession, so this time he took the initiative to ask him to go to rescue people with him.

Aomori County is located at the northernmost tip of Honshu Island, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and has a very high forest coverage rate. According to the instructions obtained from the clues, the destination is in a deep mountain in the hinterland of Aomori County.

It is dusk, the time of encountering demons, and the Japanese Onmyo says that this is the time when ghosts, gods, and humans are most likely to appear at the same time.

In the depths of the forest, the setting sun stops at the end of the cliff like a giant ship. As time goes by, it gradually sinks, and the sky and clouds are dyed a misty pink-purple.

Red torii gates stand on the bluestone steps, which are ancillary buildings of Japanese shrines, representing the entrance to the realm of the gods. It is rumored that this is the dividing line used to divide the resting place of humans and gods, and has always represented solemnity and holiness.The strange thing is that the torii gates here are strangely red, as if they were dyed with blood. 1

Walking through the torii gate, what appeared in their field of vision was a splendid and magnificent shrine.

Deep in the mountains and old forests, in an inaccessible place, who would build such a magnificent shrine here?

In front of the shrine, the long-handled wooden spoon used for cleaning hands was turning regularly in the pool, and the wind chimes on the Mashen rang without wind, which was clearly a shrine. However, they visited all the shrines, but did not see any Gods and statues were enshrined.

Gojo Satoru noticed that each shrine seemed to have a strange symbol engraved on it.

"It seems to be the 'Phoenix'." Xia Youjie said, "The immortal birds in myths and legends will be reborn every 500 years."

"Is this shrine used to worship 'Phoenix'?"

"No. I saw lighthouse jellyfish and ouroboros in other temples just now."

Phoenix, lighthouse jellyfish, ouroboros...

Gojo Satoru understood: "This shrine does not enshrine animals, but 'immortality'."

Pushing away a shrine located in the deepest part of the shrine, a strong smell of blood came to the face. Xia Youjie and Gojo Satoru entered the hall. They were shocked by the scene in front of them at the same time, and did not speak for a long time.

On the walls, on the dome, and even on the stone lanterns in the corners, there are countless corpses of curse spirits piled up. The death conditions are strange and miserable. The blood flow meanders down, forming a huge pool of blood. Strange patterns were drawn with blood, as if doing an evil sacrifice.

They searched all the corners of the shrine, and found no trace of anyone, let alone Shimizu Sakura.

"It seems that we came late." Xia Youjie said, "The only thing left is the evidence that was not destroyed in time. The culprit has probably taken Qingshuiying away."

Gojo Satoru couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved after a trip. After all, no news is the best news at this time. He hoped to find Shimizu Sakura, but he didn't want her cold body to greet him.

"Let's go, go outside and see if there are any other clues."

Gojo Satoru said.

The moment they turned around, they heard the hum of the earth.

Thousands of curse spirits flocked to them from all directions of the shrine, impatient as if seeing delicious food. Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie suddenly understood that this was a trap, a trap to lure the enemy deep. Sakura's clues are just a cover, and the real purpose of the people behind it should be to take the opportunity to kill them.

But if that person thought that he could kill two super magicians with these low-level spell spirits, he would be too naive.

The two of them stopped hesitating and immediately activated their spell power.

【Spell Manipulation】

[Spell Reversal·He]

……

10 minute later.

The entire shrine was razed to the ground under the huge impact, and the original magnificent red bricks and blue tiles were all turned into ruins piled up on the ground.Although these spell spirits are not very strong individually, they win because of their large number and continuous flow. Wutiao Wu and Xia Youjie need to consume a lot of magic power to kill all the spell spirits. exhausted.

"...Let's go first." Xia Youjie frowned slightly, "This place always gives me a... great feeling."

Gojo Satoru nodded, and when they reached the edge of the shrine, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly returned to the place where the ruins were: "Wait a minute, I'm still a little concerned about the 'Phoenix' pattern, I want to take it back and study it. "

He squatted down and rummaged through the ruins.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

A curse spirit with long and sharp fingers suddenly appeared behind Wujo Wu. It was obviously a fish that slipped through the net in the battle just now. Although it was covered in blood, it was not dead. Wu rushed over, his steel-sharp fingers seemed to be able to pierce his throat!

The distance between him and the curse spirit was too close. Before entering the shrine, Gojo Satoru had turned off the no-lower-limit spell for the convenience of investigation, and now it was too late to turn it on!

Xia Youjie's pupils suddenly constricted: "Enlightenment!"

The long-term experience of fighting side by side with Xia Youjie gave them enough tacit understanding. Gojo Satoru did not hesitate at all, and activated the spell the moment he turned to face the curse spirit!

[Spell Reversal Heh! 】

The moment the curse spirit pounced on Gojo Satoru, a red shock wave pierced through its chest!The pain that Gojo Satoru imagined on his back being torn and scratched by the sharp claws did not come, and the touch of the sharp claws falling on his back was unexpectedly soft, and even his clothes were not scratched.

Its "arm" was around his neck without force and without hurting him.

Soft as a hug.

Gojo Satoru opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

At the moment of being killed by him, was this curse spirit... hugging him?

He thought of the curse spirits he saw in the blood pool just now that seemed to be materials for experiments, the unusually petite figure of this curse spirit compared to other curse spirits when they met each other, and the familiar hugging posture full of attachment ...He suddenly trembled, his face turned pale, his hands trembled uncontrollably, he realized that he had made a fatal mistake, at that moment he believed in the judgment of Six Eyes and his past experience without thinking, and never thought about this The curse spirit is actually not the real curse spirit!

The two sharp claws of the curse spirit hugging him hung down, and there was no longer any breath of life. She seemed to have fulfilled her wish, so she left willingly.It was as if she had endured four years of inhuman torture, enduring herself being transformed beyond recognition, just so that she could try her best to hug him again when she saw him for the last time.

Even if the price of this embrace is death.

She had been transformed so much that she could no longer see her original appearance, only those empty eyes were left, which were still as clean and clear as before.

How could he fail to recognize her?She was the girl who grew up with him, the girl he had been looking for for four years.

He hugged her tightly, even though he knew that the dead would no longer have perception, he still hugged her tightly and refused to let go.Gojo Satoru's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared into her eyes for a long time, every second of staring at her was so painful that he felt like he was going through a thousand cuts: "Sakura..."

His voice was extremely hoarse, and he could only support him calling her name for the last time after four years, and then he couldn't continue.

At three o'clock in the morning, Gojo Satoru woke up from his dream.

He recovered from the horrifying dream, and suddenly realized that everything he experienced just now was just a dream.

... no, not right.

It was probably not just a dream.

The Sakura in the dream was snatched away silently on the night when they were 14 years old and he broke off the engagement.

The time is tonight!

Gojo Satoru turned over from the bed and went straight to the room where Sakura Shimizu was. As expected, just like in the dream, her room was empty, and Sakura Shimizu was really taken away!

Calm down, Gojo Satoru said to himself, he is different from the Gojo Satoru in the dream, he is not so indifferent, nor does he ignore Sakura, he has been very kind to Sakura since he was a child, always coaxing her to make her happy , so reality may not necessarily develop according to the dream.Regardless of whether everything in the dream is a parallel world or predicting the future, compared with him in the dream, he now has too many advantages-he discovered Shimizu Sakura's place a few hours earlier than him in the dream. Missing, and he knew where she would be taken, the tragedy hadn't happened yet, and there was still time to save her!

This time, he can change Sakura's ending!
