Chapter 56

Dozens of strong men might not be able to handle the山村贞子 (Satoko Isonokami) who stopped at the hands that could barely hold chopsticks.

"I saved you, not to let you continue down the wrong path."

At this critical moment, Chu Ci finally woke up. Not because of the plot, but because...

His head hurt terribly, and the mental stimulation was immense! Chu Ci's brows were knitted tightly, like an untouched virgin, and his mind was dazed, not fully recovered.

The remaining strength was already used to stop Satoko Isonokami's attack, and Chu Ci didn't even have the energy to activate the alchemy array with a snap of his fingers.

If Satoko Isonokami was a flood after a heavy rain, then Chu Ci was undoubtedly the only dam.

The precarious mental shield finally held, and Gao Shan Longji and the others narrowly escaped becoming vegetative.

Noticing Chu Ci's discomfort, the typhoon-like mental energy was forcibly reined in by Satoko Isonokami in a single breath, her face showing a hint of redness before quickly returning to its pale state.

The expression on her face, which had been carrying Chu Ci, changed repeatedly. She put away her cold and ruthless demeanor and showed a gentle and serene expression before turning her head and asking with a hint of panic.

"Are... are you feeling okay?"

Satoko Isonokami's lips, which were slightly red, moved, and her voice was a bit awkward but clear and pleasant, truly a good candidate for opera.

Chu Ci suddenly realized that indeed, before the tragedy, Satoko Isonokami was an actress in the high school drama club and naturally had a good voice.

"I'm fine, just woke up a bit too early and haven't fully recovered my energy," Chu Ci's lips curled slightly, as if he was just a bit sleepy.

Though he said that, Chu Ci was very clear about his own condition. After being 'woken up,' his state was extremely weak. He couldn't use the alchemy array, let alone get up. Any pimple-faced teenager could beat him up for three hundred rounds.

Satoko Isonokami sat by Chu Ci's bed, her eyes darting to Chu Ci's face and then to other places when she noticed his gaze. Her hands didn't know where to go.

Having been a vengeful spirit for decades, Satoko Isonokami was extremely unfamiliar with human affairs, let alone how to care for someone. Her face flushed, and she asked awkwardly, "Do you want some water? Or an apple? Or should I treat you?"

Seeing Satoko Isonokami's awkwardness, Chu Ci smiled gently, without any hint of mockery, but with an encouraging smile. "I'm a bit thirsty. Could you get me a glass of water?"

"No problem!" Satoko Isonokami, completely lacking the awareness of being a big boss, had no aversion to Chu Ci's request. Instead, she felt that Chu Ci giving her something to do was a form of affirmation. Clumsily, she picked up the thermos from the cabinet and ran out of the ward toward the water room.

As for the psychics, she treated them all like extras.

Chu Ci收回注视山村贞子背影的视线，随意瞥了一眼病房中挤得满满的路人甲乙丙，也不问他们的由来，微微颌眼，沉声道：“真红，把手搭在我的左手心上。”

下一刻楚辞就感受到一只清凉柔软的小手掌，没有回避，楚辞直接用意念从殖装虫空间内唤出一支炼金药剂，正好落在真红的手掌心。

“等贞子回来，让她搅拌均匀，给我服下。”

楚辞宅在轮回主域七天，可不仅仅炼制了几个魔偶，在炼制期间的空隙，楚辞也制造了不少炼金小道具，恢复类的炼金药剂更不用说。

取出来的这支‘精力充沛’炼金药剂虽然不对症，但眼下无疑是最好的选择，至于强行激发消耗的潜力，等回到主神空间也可以修复。

“楚辞，你究竟要做什么？！”高山龙司满心怒火，强行压抑冲到楚辞床前把他揪起来的冲动，低声质问。

一开始说要解除诅咒就要从贞子身上着手，接着又说录像带肯定毁灭不了要把贞子的怨魂召唤出来，然后又说把贞子复活说不定会把诅咒吸纳回去彻底解决问题。

可一圈绕下来，山村贞子倒是复活了，浅川玲子和阳一的诅咒却还是一变不变。

“我想干什么？不是很清楚吗。”楚辞压根就没睁开眼睛，闭着眼养神道：“我只是在拯救无辜的女孩子，而已。”

无辜？还而已！

不管是高山龙司还是其他人，全都露出荒天下之大谬的表情，一个害了许多人的怨灵，竟然是无辜的，那世界上还有罪孽深重之人吗。

“她是个妖怪！”高山龙司的声音极度压抑，好像怕被什么人听到一样。

“她只是个孩子！”楚辞眼睛一睁，锐利的目光让高山龙司不由别过头去，不敢直视。

“她害了那么多无辜的人怎么算？智子只是个普通的女孩子。”浅川玲子忍不住插嘴，质问楚辞到底是不是糊涂了。

“那她的遭遇又怎么算？她又何尝不无辜！”楚辞愠怒，世人总把自己的灾厄归罪于别人，可又从来不去体贴别人的悲伤。

“她何尝想过杀人？她何尝想要变成厉鬼？如果没有所谓的超能力，没有那个禽兽不如的伊熊平八郎，她不过是个简简单单的女生，上学，恋爱，工作，生子。你们以为她真的会扭曲到以杀人为乐吗！”

楚辞没有咆哮，因为他的体力不允许，但他的话清晰顿挫，字字诛心，剖开这些所谓的正义人士的心胸，直指他们畏惧强大畏惧死亡的卑微本性。

“哎~~你们走吧，浅川小姐和阳一留下来，我会劝贞子收手。”楚辞重新闭上眼睛，争辩几句话，又把他好不容易积攒的点滴体力耗尽。

超能力者们趾高气扬地来，灰头土脸地走，雷轩原本也打算留下来，但楚辞保证会完成任务后，也在贾腾英的劝告中离开，只是给了楚辞一个时限，让他可以做想做的事。

贞子取完热水回来，屋内仅剩三个大活人，浅川母子相拥坐在一旁，楚辞躺在床上养神，几个魔偶没有指令的时候，各行其事。

“你来啦。”因为炼成的关系，楚辞闭着眼就知道贞子的到来。

“嗯，你还想继续睡吗？”山村贞子放缓脚步，轻手轻脚地把保温壶放在床头，收拢素白长裙，乖巧地坐在看护座位上。

“我叫楚辞。”楚辞突然睁开眼睛，灼灼有神盯着山村贞子，没头没尾做了个自我介绍。

“我的名字是山村贞子。”山村贞子一愣，习惯性地接上话茬：“请多多关照。”

楚辞微微一笑，“能帮我准备一下药剂吗？”
