People are cursing back, and the good impression is full

But we still don’t know what exactly Jiujiu Yuki wants the two of them to do for us.

Looking at Zenin Qing's expression, Jiujiu Yuki naturally knew what he was worried about. She smiled helplessly at Zenin Qing, then said cheerfully:

"Although the other party is Yamata no Orochi, it has not been confirmed that it is indeed you. Besides, even if it is you, so what? The sorcerers of a thousand years ago were able to seal Yamata no Orochi, so naturally, the sorcerers of a thousand years later will not take it seriously."

As Jiujiu Yuki spoke, he patted his chest, and the slight movement of his clothes made Zenin Qing slightly avoid his eyes.

After obtaining the cooperation conditions from Kujuku Yuki, Zenin Seiya chose to cooperate with Kujuku Yuki.

Zenin Qing looked at the heroic Kujuku Yuki in front of him, and recalled the sad scene in the original book where only half of his body was left when he died. He felt that sometimes fate was really unpredictable.

After the two reached a cooperation, they actually talked a lot, not only exchanging information about the case, but also some of Kyuju Yuki's own speculations about the Beika Town case.

This is what she told Chanyuan Qing.

"According to what she knew, things like cursed energy residue can actually sometimes be created with some human intervention.

It was a dark purple bottle called the [Pot of Greed]. As long as it possessed something, and as long as it had been in the place where the other person had been, the unique residual magic power on that person would be sucked up and stored in the bottle. When it was used again, it would directly absorb the magic power previously stored in the magic tool.

And it was in this way that the cursed power from Zenin Qing, who was not at the scene at all, could be transferred to the crime scene.

The reason why Jiujiu Yuki didn't want to tell this matter was to prevent Zenin Qing from taking the blame.

It can even be said that after realizing that the aura of cursed energy belonged to Zenin Qing, Jiujiu Yuki even took the initiative to deal with and bury those traces of cursed energy for Zenin Qing.

Although she had never met Zenin Qing at the time, and didn't even know what kind of person Zenin Qing was, Jiujiu Yuki only knew one thing, that is, whatever the Zenin family wanted to do was most likely a bad thing, and if they couldn't accomplish what they wanted to accomplish, it would be a good thing for the world."

Although this is a bit excessive, many times, the harsh atmosphere in the Zenyuan family can make almost everyone present feel a little disgusted.

What's even worse is that before Kujuku Yuki became a special-grade sorcerer, some people from the Zenin family had already come to try to win her over, but their attitude was not particularly good, and they had some conflicts with Kujuku Yuki.

Under such circumstances, Kujuu Yuki naturally would not want to help the Zenin family.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Kujuu Yuki has always felt that this sentence is very true.

When Zenin Qing asked why they wanted to investigate the case in depth, an extremely gloomy expression suddenly appeared on Jiujiu Yuki's face.

"The reason I suppressed my doubts about the source of the filth, didn't immediately submit a complete report to the higher-ups, and didn't cover up your 'innocence'... was because I discovered that the filth was mixed with the unique magical energy fluctuations of 'astral plasma'."

Zenin Qing's pupils suddenly contracted! Astral plasma! This word, like an icy key, instantly pierced through all the fog in his heart. Jiujiu Yuki's obsession with astral plasma, her unusual pursuit of it, all had a reasonable explanation.

But how could the astral plasma be involved in this? Aren't all the astral plasmas that were fused within Tian Yuan's body?

Jiujiu Yuki lowered his voice even lower, with a determination that was almost desperate:

"That's not living astral plasma, but the remnants of cursed energy that have been 'used' and 'squeezed out', filled with pain and resentment! They are mixed like a deadly poison in the filth that is forged and directed at you, so faint that it is almost imperceptible, but that aura of despair after being 'fused' and 'destroyed'... I will never mistake it!"

Chapter 85 The meaning of existence

Kujuu Yuki's words cast a layer of strangeness over this incident.

Zenyuan Qing sighed. In fact, he had long expected that the real situation would be more difficult to solve than what he saw in the anime.

According to official statements, Lord Tianyuan needs to fuse the astral plasma every five hundred years, but from the Heian period to the present, only about a thousand years have passed.

If the official statement is taken as the basis, then up to now, Lord Tianyuan should have only fused two star plasma bodies.

But judging from the animation silhouettes in the original work, Tennuriko should be the fourth astral plasma body to be fused.

This is twice as fast as the official statement, which clearly means something is wrong.

However, in the previous face-to-face conversation with Tianyuan, she still did not reveal any clues to herself. She only said that there was some connection between [Six Eyes] and [Astral Plasma], and that [Heaven and Curse] was the key that might break this reincarnation fate.

However, there is no reasonable explanation in the original book about what the specific relationship between these three is, what specific role they play, the problem of the Tianyuan fusion process, and its wrong future of developing in the direction of [Cursed Spirit].

However, the original novel ended with Tian Yuan's death, directly burying these questions underground. The thousand-year secret was revealed along with Sukuna, Liao Ao, and others.

But that was an incomplete anime world, and now this is the real world.

All the questions must involve some secret, and these secrets have been quietly drawn out from the soil due to my sudden appearance.

Thinking of these upcoming complex problems, Chanyuan Qing felt helpless.

He just wanted to stay here and at least not show up and be the first to stand out until he had super strength.

But the development of things is always unexpected, as if everything is pulling him out of the gutter.

However, before Zenin Qing could respond, Tennen Riko's voice suddenly rang out. Her voice was filled with trembling and repression. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her eyes were red.

"Miss Jiujiu, are you saying that the Astral Plasma was ultimately abandoned by Tianyuan-sama? How could such a thing possibly happen? The Astral Plasma exists to help stabilize Tianyuan-sama's body, to allow him to continue protecting the entire world! How could it be discarded like garbage as you say?!"

Riko's voice grew from weak to hoarse, and her eyes as she looked at Jiujiu were filled with unspeakable sorrow and pain.

For her, becoming a star plasma body and then helping Lord Tianyuan stabilize the entire world is her only belief that supports her survival.

She died for the future of mankind and to save countless ordinary humans like her.

But now, someone tells himself that astral plasma is actually not important at all, it is just a piece of garbage that can be thrown away at will after being used.

This made Riko's worldview and the things she had always insisted on become a joke. How could she possibly accept such a thing?

Jiujiu Yuki looked at Riko at the moment. She was extremely tolerant of Riko, who was also a star plasma body. No matter how angry Riko was with her, she would not feel angry, because no one in the world knew better than her how big a blow this incident was to Riko.

But people grow up by learning to accept death, separation, leaving, abandonment... Only after learning to accept these things can people truly grow up.

Then, she looked at Riko and said in a calm and gentle voice:

"I know you can't accept all this, but Riko, you should have felt it too. I, like you, am also an astral plasma. You should be able to sense the connection between us. Anyone in this world could deceive you about this, but I, a fellow astral plasma, will never do that.

And I can't lie to you. If what I just said was false, you would be able to feel it very clearly, right? "

Listening to what Kujuku Yuki said, Riko lowered her head. She felt an indescribable chill all over her body, and the whole world seemed to have fallen into darkness at this moment.

Her voice was a little broken and sad at this moment:

"Then... what is the meaning of our existence? What is the meaning of everything I have persisted until now?!"

Riko didn't scream hysterically, and she didn't even shed tears. She just curled up her body and murmured softly in a voice that was almost heartbreaking.

Kujuyuki opened her mouth, wanting to say something to comfort Riko, but no words came out.

Two lines of clear tears had already flowed down Miss Kuroi's face. She always knew that Riko was pretending to be strong, but the only thing she could do was to pretend that she didn't know Riko's disguise and accompany her to perform that optimism.

But when this optimism and strength were shattered by the cruel reality, all the efforts between the two seemed like bubbles, without any meaning. They would only appear in this world for a moment, and then quickly shatter without leaving any trace.

She wanted to go up and hug Riko to comfort her.

But Kuroi knew that if Riko saw her like this at this time, it would only make her more painful.

Shen Er looked at all this and suddenly recalled his childhood. He seemed to have asked himself at that time what the meaning of his life was.

The oppression in the room was so heavy that it was suffocating, and the sound of rain outside the window seemed to be playing a dirge for the fragility and fall of life.

It was not until this time that Chanyuan Qing came out of his thoughts. He looked at the people in front of him with sad faces, and he felt the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

I almost forgot that most people here are not in a very good mental state.

Or we can say that among the people in this room right now, no one except me can have a healthy and complete childhood.

If we continue to let these autistic children continue like this, who knows what they will become in the near future.

Zenin Qing thought about what Riko had just said for a moment, and quickly figured out what the other party needed.

Although this may not be a good idea, it has come to this point, and the right thing to do is to let the other party move on as soon as possible.

Then, Zenin Qing walked forward, gently placed his hand on Riko's head, and spoke in a gentle tone like melting snow in early spring:

"I think Tennariko sounds much better than Astral Plasma, don't you?"

Chapter 86 Emotional Resonance

There was a warm and comfortable touch on my head, and in my ears came the gentle voice of Zenyuan Qing.

he asked himself.

Which name sounds better, Tennuriko or Astral Plasma?

But Riko is his name, and Astral Plasma has never been his name. Why would he connect these two things together...

Riko didn't think about this for a moment. She looked at Zenin Qing, and the despair in her eyes faded a little, replaced by a hint of confusion and puzzlement.

Zenin Qing could naturally understand it. After all, Riko was only in her teens, and it was difficult for her to understand these things all of a sudden.

What he needed at this time was the assistance of other people who were important to Riko besides himself.

The candidate at the moment is obviously Miss Kuroi.

Hei Jing did not disappoint Zenin Qing at this moment. She understood the meaning of Zenin Qing's expectant look.

Looking at Tenriko's heartbreaking expression, Kuroi could no longer hold back. She spoke with a choked but resolute voice:

"Ms. Riko, you are Miss Riko! You are the Miss Riko who chases butterflies in the yard and worries about being criticized when you get your clothes dirty.

It was Miss Riko who shared her snacks with the small animals and used her old clothes to make winter nests for them.

It was Ms. Riko who secretly shed tears because I was sick, it was Ms. Riko who stayed up late to study because of exam week...”

She rushed forward, hugged Riko, and burst into tears.

Riko felt the body temperature of Kuroi in front of her, felt Kuroi's slightly trembling body, listened to the words that seemed to penetrate deep into her heart, and suddenly scenes from the past emerged in her mind.

Looking at the images that emerged in her memory, Riko didn't know why, but she felt an indescribable depression in her heart.

The happy past was so vivid, but why, why did she feel that everything she had was meaningless at this moment?

Zenin Qing looked at Riko at this time, his eyes filled with gentle yet firm strength:

"Meaning is never bestowed by anyone, nor is it written in some mission statement. It is something you live out yourself, a product of what you like to eat, what colors you like, and what animals you like.

It grows up in every detail of how each "Tenno Riko" chooses to laugh, cry, deal with exams, bathe animals, and cook dinner for Miss Kuroi.

Star Plasma is just an ordinary idiotic code name. Although I don’t know what is going on with those abandoned Star Plasmas, since Lord Tianyuan doesn’t need Star Plasma, you can rightfully get rid of that ugly name.

And in my opinion, the importance of the name "Astral Plasma" is not even as important as the sesame seeds you sprinkled on the chicken wings tonight. At least I think those sesame seeds are a stroke of genius. Not only do they make the chicken wings look better, but they also taste more delicious.

Instead of worrying about those messy things, it is better to live a life that belongs to "Natural Reasoning". This is the most important thing for you."

When he said this, Zenin Qing glanced at Shino, then smiled and said to Riko:

"Take Uncle Shen'er, for example. He used to be just like you, unappreciated. But he's found a lot of interesting things, like embarrassing TV shows, horse racing where you always lose money no matter how you bet on it, and cooking where it always turns into a savory dish...

These things are the cornerstones of Uncle Shener. They have never been a name, a mission, or a chosen responsibility. As long as it is not the destiny and obligation chosen by yourself, in my opinion, it is actually just the wishful thinking of those bastards.

So, when are we going to eat? Didn’t you say you wanted to show me Riko-sama’s cooking?

Listening to Zenin Qing's words, although the tears on Riko's face had not completely disappeared, the sadness and despair in her eyes had disappeared. She looked at Zenin Qing, but this time her eyes contained some emotions that had never been there before.

It was a kind of unknown, faint affection that a girl had when facing someone she vaguely liked.

At this age, Tenriko is still unable to accurately understand the meaning of "liking", but she can actually clearly feel it through some subtle actions.

For example, if it were her previous self, she would not hesitate to do a series of things in front of Chanyuan Qing, such as blowing her nose and yawning, which might damage her appearance.

But now, if she wants to yawn, she will choose to hold it back; if she wants to blow her nose, she will choose to turn her back; if she wants to sneeze, she will definitely cover her face with her hands or a tissue.

In short, Riko would never do anything that might damage her image in front of Zenin Kiyoshi.

Just because Riko doesn't understand this feeling doesn't mean that Kujuku Yuki doesn't understand it.

Perhaps because both of them were astral plasma bodies, Yuki Kujuku was horrified to discover that when Tenuchi Riko developed a strange emotion towards Zenin Kiyoshi, that emotion would actually spread through Riko to herself, and even affect her way of thinking and emotions!

It’s not that Kujuku Yuki has ever liked anyone. As the only special-grade sorcerer at the moment, she is so busy that she almost has no time for herself, let alone something like falling in love.

But many times, when she read some literary works, she was able to understand from them what form love really takes.

And those so-called "loves", she actually developed the same "love" towards Zenin Qing in her own emotions.

After realizing this, Jiujiu Yuki felt her scalp tingling. What a joke! She was already seventeen years old, almost six years older than Zenin Qing. How could she have such emotions towards such a little kid?

How can it be? !

Although Zenin Qing looks well-developed overall, his temperament and expression make him look one or two years older than his actual age.

But, but this is really too ridiculous!

It must be a problem with this little girl Riko's emotional expression!

She took two deep breaths and looked at Riko, who was now completely bewildered by Zenin Qing. She felt that Zenin Qing was a little, a little... eloquent.

No, that's not right!

He just knows how to coax girls!

Why did I start having those weird thoughts again?!
