Curse Return: Demon Void Girl Doesn't Want to Be a Weakling

Xia Youjie appeared, greeted them, and sat down next to Wutiao Wu.

"What? It's Jay."

Gojo Satoru leaned back in his chair, tilting his head back and looking at the ceiling above him.

He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"What's wrong? Why are you sighing as soon as you see me?"

Xia Youjie pouted and said with dissatisfaction.

Gojo Satoru scratched his head, then sighed again: "I told my students before that we are always alone when facing death, so I feel ashamed to think of you."

"How could he be alone?"

Xia Youjie burst into laughter after hearing Wujiao Wu's words, "Are you stupid?"

"Huh? What are you saying, kid?"

"As human beings, we are always forming bonds with other people."

Xia Youjie also imitated Wu Tiaowu in a similar manner, tilting his head back and looking at the ceiling.

The bright lights were a bit dazzling.

He paused for a moment before speaking again: "Whether they are monkeys or sorcerers, they are all the same."

"The emotions that arise from interactions with others will always come to mind when you truly part ways, no matter how indifferent you may have seemed before."

"That's not like you, Jay."

Gojo Satoru turned his head to look at Natsumi Yukichi.

"That's because I've experienced it firsthand."

Xia Youjie chuckled and turned his head to look into Gojo Satoru's azure eyes: "When you killed me."

Chapter 235 South? North

"..."

Gojo Satoru was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "Coming to interrogate you?"

"How could this be? How could this be?"

Xia Youjie chuckled and sat up: "I just wanted to tell you this principle."

"Even someone like me, on the verge of death, will feel reluctant to part with close friends."

He stretched out his foot and kicked Gojo Satoru, "You must have built even more bonds now."

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru closed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

"See, just as I expected."

Xia Youjie smiled and asked, "Have you made any new friends yet?"

"Oh, are we friends?"

Gojo Satoru, recalling Mashiro's disdainful look and expression, twitched the corner of his mouth: "Maybe they're just close friends?"

"Isn't that just being friends? Don't nitpick."

"Maybe so."

Gojo Satoru clenched his fist: "There shouldn't be any problem handing it over to her afterward."

Seeing Gojo Satoru's expression, Natsumi asked with a smile, "How does the King of Curses feel?"

"That's really strong!"

Gojo Satoru raised his hand and crossed his legs: "Every step was calculated, leading me little by little into a dead end."

"Was it my own carelessness?"

"Carelessness? Perhaps."

Gojo Satoru recalled the battle and said helplessly, "But making me careless was one of Sukuna's goals."

"I didn't expect you to rate it so highly."

Xia Youjie was a little surprised; it was unusual for the ordinary Gojo Satoru to say something like that.

"I've already been beaten to death by her, so if the evaluation is low, then my evaluation will be even lower."

"There's such a consideration involved?"

"Of course."

Gojo Satoru chuckled and sat up.

He looked at the empty station and remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "I think I heard Mingming mention it before."

"what?"

"If you want to become a new version of yourself, head north. If you want to return to your original self, head south."

Gojo Satoru walked to the platform and waited for the train to arrive.

So, do you want to go south or north?

Xia Youjie also stood up and slowly walked to Gojo Satoru's side.

"A brand new self is no longer possible, after all, there is no future."

Gojo Satoru chuckled self-deprecatingly, looking up at the sign pointing south: "Then let's head south."

"Is that so? I think an idiot like you should go to the other side."

A light, melodious voice, with a touch of liveliness, suddenly came from behind Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru turned around and saw Tennori Riko making a face at him.

"Isn't this happening within the daytime?!"

Gojo Satoru looked at her, somewhat surprised, and walked over to rub her head.

"Idiot, what are you doing!"

Riko slapped his hand away and fumed as she tidied her hair, which Gojo Satoru had messed up.

"Me too, Senior Gojo."

"Oh, Haibara!"

Gojo Satoru laughed happily, "What, did you come to keep me company?"

"No, it's not that, Gojo-senpai."

Haibara stood still and pointed to the platform to the north: "You should go to that side."

"north?"

Gojo Satoru was taken aback for a moment.

"Yeah, yeah, pursuing a brand new version of yourself is what you, an idiot, should be doing!"

Riko walked around behind Gojo Satoru and pushed him to the other side, saying, "Why are you so heavy!"

"Hey! That's incredibly rude of you!"

Gojo Satoru smiled and let Tennatsu Riko push him onto the platform heading north.

He sighed, scratched his head, and said, "I've already said there's no future, and the train heading north won't come either, right?"

"That's hard to say."

"What do you mean...?"

"Waaaaah—!"

Gojo Satoru paused for a moment, but his words were interrupted by the train's whistle.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the train whose doors had opened to him.

"why?"

Gojo Satoru muttered to himself, filled with doubt.

"It's too early to head south now, Gojo-senpai!"

Haibara smiled and waved at him.

"They say evil deeds live on for a thousand years, and that's exactly what you're talking about."

Riko stuck out her tongue and gave a soft hum, but a smile played on her lips.

"Go, Wu."

Even his former friend Xia Youjie smiled and waved to him, saying, "Make sure you get along well with your new friends."

"..."

Gojo understood, fell silent, and his expression gradually faded. "I understand."

"Why are you looking so sad? There's still a lot of work waiting for you to do."

"Ah."

Gojo Satoru nodded slightly, turned around and boarded the train: "Then I'll be going now."

"Goodbye."

The doors closed, the train began to depart, and the three figures were no longer visible.

Gojo Satoru found a place to sit down and closed his eyes.

"Teacher Gojo, what a coincidence."

Upon hearing the sound, Gojo Satoru opened his eyes again and looked at the person in front of him.

"It's Hisahito."

"It's not just me here, everyone is here."

Itadori chuckled and looked at Gojo Satoru.
