Curse back: Gender-swapped cosplayers always meet the real person

Note: This chapter is a combination of two chapters.

The information you need.docx

Do you want to open the document? "Yes."

Gozhuo Temple: It was built in the Heian period, at the beginning of the capital's relocation to Heian-kyō. It covers an area of ​​about 18 mu and has a history of more than a thousand years. It has suffered from lightning strikes, earthquakes, fires and other disasters several times and has been rebuilt three times.

The most recent reconstruction was about 600 years ago, and its architectural style has strong "Edo period" characteristics.

The monks of this temple do not worship Buddha, Guanyin or eight million gods, but a nameless clay statue, that is, a human figure printed in the brochure of their temple.

They claim that when the "Five Evil Worlds" arrive, a savior will appear and sacrifice himself to save them.

However, unlike ordinary monks, once entering this temple, monks often do not live beyond the age of 40, as if they were cursed. They are not allowed to marry and have children, otherwise, even if they return to secular life, they will bring disaster to everyone around them.

Therefore, they often adopt children abandoned by their parents as the next generation. Until entering the modern society with a declining birth rate, their inheritance has almost been cut off.

Three treasures were once enshrined in this temple.

The one called Dream Fulfillment is the most precious treasure of the temple and has the power to make people's wishes come true. Its current whereabouts are unknown.

The soul-calling banner can call the souls of the dead back to this world and allow them to walk in the human world for a long time, which is no different from resurrection. The price is to sacrifice one person's life. [Note: The sacrificed person will return to the other world]

The third treasure is unknown and has never been recorded.

Note: Ms. Yuji, don't you think that the situation in this temple is very similar to the curse that my family suffered? No one can live past the age of 40. ^_~ ——Shimizu Masato

I:".........."

Do you want to exit the document? "Yes."

After turning off the screen, I held the phone tightly, speechless for a long while.

I don't understand why this person likes to make fun of his own hell. Does he think that life is hopeless and that he will die soon is something very interesting?

Even if I don't like his weird personality, his strange train of thought and his exaggerated kneeling and aria-like behavior of expressing love, it doesn't mean that I am happy to see him say that he wants to die!

That day, before Shimizu Masato left, he left me his contact information again. Soon after, this guy sent me all the information he could collect about Gotsuchi Temple as a lawyer.

To be honest, this temple is really mysterious.

Even the monk who once entrusted Masato Shimizu with the task has been missing and his whereabouts are unknown.

The document he sent me consisted of only a few hundred words in my mailbox, and it did not answer my questions at all.

After thinking about it, I still feel indignant.

I simply opened the chat box and typed back to him: Can you please be serious? You're still posting ^_~, you think you're very humorous. If you make fun of this again, I'll take a screenshot and send it to your cousin.

Let Nanami go over and watch him, and he will behave himself then.

Shimizu Masato replied: Eh... As expected, Ms. Yuji prefers the type of Kento. Actually, you can tell me directly, I am happy to be a matchmaker.

I:"........."

There's no hope for this man. Don't die at the age of 40. Die now.

Taking a deep breath, I put my phone directly into my pocket and turned to look at the temple in front of me.

Since there was so little information, we decided to go directly to Wuzhuo Temple in Taitung to conduct a field investigation while we still had some free time.

It's not too different from what I had initially thought.

The narrow temple gate and the cinnabar red wooden boards were covered with dusty spider webs, the walls were overgrown with weeds, thorny vines and brambles sprouted from the base of the wall, and the lush green leaves swayed in the wind, so green that water could almost drip out of them, as if a group of water ghosts with long black hair were slowly climbing up from the bottom of a deep pool.

The comic murals on the wall with extremely strong colors and styles were mostly covered, making it almost impossible to see what was painted and the specific details.

I tentatively opened one corner and followed the gap to see the two Sukuna printed on it. The four red pupils looked into my eyes at the same time, as if they had really come alive and were ready to attack.

Wow, your drawing skills are really good, at least better than mine.

It was scary and shocking. Combined with the gloomy season and weather, it's no wonder I thought there was a ghost here.

"That's where I picked up the book." I heard Shen'er's voice coming from above my head behind me. Turning my head, I found that he had jumped onto the roof next to the door, half squatting and overlooking the layout of the yard.

I couldn't see the direction of his finger.

"You just went up there like that?" I asked in surprise.

"I knocked on the door for a long time but no one opened it. What else do you want to do?"

"......If I remember correctly, you only knocked once." As I said that, I looked around. Although this is not a busy area, it is near the popular tourist attraction Sensō-ji Temple. If we are caught by someone, they might mistake us for sneaky thieves and call the police to arrest us.

"You're talking too much nonsense." He tapped the tiles under his hands impatiently, "Are you going to come up or not?"

"Do you want me to go down and hug you?"

…Thirty seconds later, I leapt onto the roof independently.

Following the direction of Shen'er's finger, I saw the place where he had picked up the book, and was stunned.

The facilities inside are so simple that it hardly looks like a temple.

The square corridors are planted with yellow bamboos, and in the center there is a big tree. Under the tree there is a square stone table with fallen leaves, bamboo leaves and soil piled on it, and its original shape is almost unrecognizable.

The reason why I was stunned was that...this place actually overlapped with the scene in my dream cleverly, consistently, and completely.

It was the dream I had inside the prison gate of Gojo Satoru's house, which guided me to find the soul-summoning flag to revive Geto Suguru.

I was in such a bad mood at that time that I forgot to think, but now when I think about it carefully, the monk in the robes and with white eyebrows is the same person as the old man I met in the real world and mistook for someone with Alzheimer's disease.

"Leave what you want where you first met it."

The thing I wanted most at that time was indeed the spirit-calling pennant. And the place where I first encountered it was indeed in front of Tennen Riko's grave, where it was handed over by Kuroi Misato.

What he said before was actually all true...?

So, the long-haired woman sitting opposite him whose face I couldn’t see clearly was me?! And I had played a game of chess with him over there before, at some point I couldn’t remember???

"...... Damn it." I gasped and couldn't help but take a step back, almost falling on my back.

"Hey!" Shen Er quickly grabbed my arm, glanced to the side, and simply dragged me to the yard, asking dissatisfiedly, "I say, what's wrong with you?"

"The cerebellum atrophies for unknown reasons?"

Me: “…You have such a vicious tongue.”

"I can be even more venomous." He snorted, holding his arms and observing her up and down for a while, then frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Are you sick again?"

It seems that my sudden fainting last week left a deep impression on him.

"It's okay." I waved my hands, shook my head tiredly, rubbed my temples and said to him, "I'm in good health."

"It's just that I suddenly realized that my brain is like a sieve."

A lot of things fell out when I shook it.

It turns out that what I was missing was not just the memory of the last period of time when Gojo Satoru changed his gender.

So, going back further, how many things have I forgotten?

Even so, I still had the nerve to say that others had Alzheimer's disease. Now it seems that the real dementia is me!

"Huh, you just realized it now." Shen Er crossed his arms and chuckled with an ambiguous tone, "I thought you would never find out."

"...What?" I stopped rubbing my head and looked up at him. "What do you mean by that?"

But he ignored me and just walked forward, reaching out to touch the covered tabletop, and then analyzed: "No one has come to clean it for such a long time, it must have been abandoned for a long time."

As he spoke, he walked deeper into the trail.

"Hey, Shen'er!" I didn't have time to care about his analysis. I kept chasing after him, "You remember more than me, don't you?"

"Didn't we agree to share information? Tell me what you know."

"Very, very ...

"Tsk, Suzuki Yuri, you're really noisy." He stopped, picked his ears and said impatiently, "Is the speaker a spirit?"

"Then who asked you to be a riddle teller?" I said unconvincedly, "You have something to hide and you blame me for yelling at you!"

"Oh." He turned around, raised the corners of his lips expressionlessly, and said coldly, "Isn't it time for you to keep it a secret from me?"

I:"......."

Ah, this, he blinked guiltily.

Why is he still remembering that incident? A narrow-minded little man can never accomplish great things!

"If you don't remember what I said to you, what can I do?" Fushiguro Shigeki stared at me for a long time and suddenly said this.

"Eh?" I was stunned and asked quickly, "So you told me about it. When did it happen?"

He stretched out his hand, palm down, about waist height, and swung it back and forth: "Didn't I tell you?"

"When I first saw you, you were this small, wandering on the street and I picked you up."

Me: “…….Huh?”

Ha ha ha ha?!!!!

"Didn't you just make that up?!"

"You always thought I was talking nonsense?"

yes!

I always thought that he didn't want to admit in front of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru that I saved his life, so he simply took the initiative and said that he was the one who took me in.

After all, this is more logical.

But it is impossible to follow his statement! Looking back, the height he gave is that I was only six or seven years old at most.

A child of six or seven years old once traveled to this high-risk world, and let the money-loving, murderous God and Tyrant give me food, drink, clothes, and money to spend.

Why, I am his biological child.

To put it another way, it seems that even his own son does not receive such treatment!

"Generally speaking, this is my impression. The fragments are fuzzy, and some memories can't be connected, but..." Shen Er was still talking over there, but he turned his head and met my questioning eyes, and said unhappily, "Why, do you think I'm lying?"

"I never lie."

I:"........."

But boss, even this sentence of yours is a lie!

She claimed that she couldn't even remember what her son looked like, but she recognized him from a distance.

Let's not talk about anything else. How badly did you cheat me in the second round? That's 1 billion!

I still can't forget it.

Still staring at me.

"........It's not that I don't believe you." Facing his gaze, I explained to him with some difficulty, "It's just that I need some time to relax."

I know that Shen Er will never joke with me about what happened in the past. After all, he must have experienced being questioned by someone without memory many times in the past, and I should be the one who understands his feelings best.

“But won’t things become more complicated this way?” I twirled my hair in annoyance. The clues that had been gradually becoming clearer in my mind became a tangled mess again, circling around like a group of greedy snakes biting their tails. I had no clue at all.

I have lost so many memories. It is not my first time to cosplay as the gender-changed Geto Suguru. The first time I traveled through time, I was just a child. When I met Shinji, he took me home and raised me for a while.

Now let’s look back, think carefully, and review it.

When he first landed near the battle site in Shinjuku, he was surrounded by ruins and the remnants of cursed spirits. After realizing that he had traveled through time, he immediately summoned the cursed spirits to save Geto Suguru. He even met Gojo Satoru and talked nonsense to him without batting an eyelid. This reaction is indeed very suspicious.

At that time, I thought it was because I had a big heart and was a person who could remain calm, steady and composed in the face of danger.

It turns out that it was not my first time traveling through time. My subconscious mind had been trained, and it became natural after I got used to it!

"Don't think about it." Just as I was immersed in random guesses, Shen Er reached out and tapped my forehead gently. He slowed down his tone and said, "It's useless to rack your brains for things you can't remember. When the time comes, just wait for it to straighten itself out."

“......Oh.” That’s true.

We walked and talked all the way, and when we reached the end of the path, we arrived at the back door of the temple.

And over there, there stood a figure I didn't expect. He turned around and looked at us blankly, with a familiar look of confusion.

"What's the matter?" I asked. "Why are you here?"

Note: What is actually being said here is the heroine's first time traveling through time, when she was really 19 years old. This corresponds to the girl who disappeared on th Street in the previous article.

As for why she is a child in his eyes, it involves spoilers, so I won’t talk about it for now. I just want to explain to everyone that the heroine did not travel through time when she was a child. ╰(￣▽￣)╭
