Admiration is the emotion furthest from understanding.
Because of admiration, we will always have a halo around the person we admire, a halo crowned with mystery, greatness, and glory.
We will attach everything divine to that person, and in this way, the true side hidden under that halo of glory will never be understood.
Zenin Kiyoshi put down the Jump manga in his hand. Inside was a line from the "Bleach" manga.
He sighed, and the faces of the few people he had currently tricked into a bit of a mess couldn't help but appear in his mind.
How to say it? It couldn't be called tricking. Tricking is a term that can only be used when one party wants to have some bad thoughts towards the other.
He had just chosen a way of interacting with a little bit of lies, tailored to each person's personality.
After all, whether it's a sorcerer or a Cursed Spirit, everyone's source of power is countless negative emotions. It can be said that anyone with a name in the jujutsu world has more or less some problems in their heart.
When communicating with people with psychological problems, one must pay attention to the method. It is understandable for him to do so.
Besides, he was making friends with these people with sincerity, and he did plan to provide help to these people in the future.
At least, he couldn't let them repeat the mistakes of the original story again.
Hanami was crushed on the wall of the subway station, the shattered rocks and purple blood were as desolate as a flower blooming underground.
Suguru Geto died at the hands of his best friend. Before he died, he was still longing for a curse that could dispel the barrier in his heart.
Toji paused for a moment with his body almost split in two, and finally said a last word that couldn't be considered a last word.
There are too many regrettable things in this world. If possible, he still wanted to change some things as much as possible.
However, before that, Zenin Kiyoshi looked at the words that appeared in his mind at this moment, a faint smile on his face:
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 25 points of affection from the Cursed Spirit Hanami, unlocking Hanami's character panel bonus.
Current affection: 25/100 (Slightly Favorable)
Current ability bonus: 10% of Hanami's total cursed energy, 10% Cursed Spirit Body.
Cursed Spirit Body Ability One: Obtains some characteristics of a Cursed Spirit body, that is, the host will not die before the cursed energy core is destroyed. The host's cursed energy core changes at this moment, the abdominal cursed energy core is virtualized, and will not immediately stop functioning when receiving a fatal injury.
Cursed Spirit Body Ability Two: The difficulty of using the Reverse Cursed Technique is reduced by 10%. At the same time, the host can use a portion of cursed energy to directly repair themselves. The current repairable range is as shown in the figure below."
The moment the voice in his mind fell, Zenin Kiyoshi subconsciously looked at the picture drawn by the system. When he saw the picture, his whole body suddenly froze.
It was a portrait of himself, and then the area from his lower abdomen down to his upper thighs was marked with a special red circle.
And that was the part of his body that he could directly recover with cursed energy.
How to say it? Although it did indeed occupy 10% of his entire body, and it was indeed the location of a sorcerer's cursed energy core, but... for some reason, Zenin Kiyoshi always felt that this thing was a bit sleazy.
He scratched his head, and Toji's voice came from behind:
"Are you done buying things? We should go back. The old man wants to see you tonight after you get back. It seems he has something he wants you to do. He's the only normal person in the entire Zenin clan, and he has been kind to me. It's probably not a problem for him to look for you."
"I bought it long ago. Your speed is a bit slow. Did you go to bet on horses?"
"I did."
"What was the result?"
"If I don't say anything, doesn't that mean the result wasn't good?"
Hearing Toji's slightly impatient voice, Zenin Kiyoshi's tone did not change in the slightest, just said flatly:
"For the opportunity to laugh at a gambling dog, I have always adhered to the principle of not wasting it. After all, only in this way can a scar be left on the gambling dog's heart."
If it were anyone else who said these words, Toji would definitely have given them a few hits to let them know how expensive the hospital fees are in Tokyo.
But for Zenin Kiyoshi's sarcasm, he couldn't feel much real anger in his heart. In fact, not only was he not angry, but he also had an indescribable strange feeling.
Is this what it feels like to be managed?
He actually wanted to experience it once, but no one had ever cared about him, let alone managed him.
The first time he experienced this feeling, he felt that it was not bad, not as unbearable as those fifteen or sixteen-year-old brats said.
So, Toji scratched his head, sighed, and said a little helplessly:
"I'll bet on something else next time. Betting on horses is not for me."
"The life of a gambling dog only has one ending: crying bitterly at the end, then being abandoned by everyone, and finally standing on a rooftop alone, falling towards the road below, falling from three dimensions to two dimensions."
"Tsk..."
Toji just clicked his tongue and didn't say anything to refute.
But Zenin Kiyoshi knew that this did not mean that Toji would really not gamble in the future. His way of thinking had been changed by gambling.
Some of the ways ordinary people get pleasure, such as delicious food, travel, and fitness, are no longer effective for him. The pleasure generated by gambling has even changed the other party's way of thinking. It is not an easy thing to change it back in a short while.
Toji is not a bad person, but he is definitely a mess in life.
To change such a person, there are still many things to do in the future.
Hanami still didn't know what those things were. She just silently followed Zenin Kiyoshi, gently reached out her hand to carry things for him, but it was not very obvious. After all, if all these things were made to float, it would scare many ordinary people.
After the three of them packed up, they finally caught the bus around six o'clock. Sitting on the bus, Zenin Kiyoshi looked at the still familiar scenery outside the car window, but at this moment, he suddenly frowned. Under the blood-red setting sun, a faint aura of cursed energy was slowly coming from not far away!
This aura was quite weak. The reason Zenin Kiyoshi was able to discover it was because of the special effect of his Six Eyes.
And along with this aura came a faint cry for help.
