Hero Tomie

The old man who lived alone fell in a pool of blood.

The strange man stood aside covered in blood.

The boy who pushed open the door froze his smile, and his pupils shrunk down on the old man.

A busted homicide scene.

After many storms and waves, he has a calmness and calmness that is different from ordinary people. Faced with this kind of scene, Kujo Jotaro also feels that he can't explain it.

The boy who opened the door didn't give him a chance to explain.

The young man's slender body suddenly burst out with a powerful aura, and he disappeared from the door in an instant and came to him in front of him, meeting a pair of murderous black eyes.Anger was burning in the black eyes, and strangely there was an imperceptible indifference.

At the same time, he suffered a heavy punch to the abdomen, which caused the internal organs to be twisted together, and ruptured beyond the limit of endurance, and the thick bloody smell rushed straight to the throat, which was also mixed with broken organs and tissues.The body flew backwards, directly penetrated the wall and fell into the courtyard, smashing a stone lamp, and the shattered stones scratched through the clothes and sank into the muscles on the back.

Falling down in the yard, his vision was blurred, the sun was falling through the maple leaves, Kujo Jotaro closed his eyes.

He finally understood why there was a trace of indifference in those dull black eyes, because in those eyes, he was already a dead person.

"Mr. Jotaro! Mr. Jotaro! Did something happen to you?!"

A young boy's anxious voice came from the phone that fell aside.

Kujo Jotaro's upper and lower eyelids were constantly fighting, and finally opened his eyes. The blood from the unknown wound made his vision turn bright red.Panting with difficulty, Kujo Jotaro fumbled to get back the phone.

"Jousuke, come to Kawakami Shrine, hurry up."

Kujo Jotaro hung up the phone and sat up with one hand propped up. Through the hole he knocked out, he saw the boy kneeling in a pool of blood, anxiously calling for the old man, and vaguely heard the emergency call from the hospital.

He roughly wiped off the blood around his eyes, spat out the blood in his mouth, and made another call.

The other party's signal is very poor, and it takes a long time to connect.

Some distorted female voices came intermittently.

"Have you been to Moriou Town yet? Kujo, have you seen my son, isn't he beautiful?"

Kujo Jotaro took a look, he was very beautiful, but also very fierce, he punched me until I was going to be hospitalized.It's just as good as the dio that hit me with a steamroller back then. The problem is that I can hit the dio back, but I can't fight back when your son hits me!

"Kawakami, your father's life is dying." Kujo Jotaro explained the situation succinctly, without mentioning the rest.How to choose next is Michiko Kawakami's business.

"The wound has healed," Fu Jiang asked the system in a cold voice, "Why hasn't my grandfather woke up yet?"

After Fu Jiang punched the suspected murderer away, he immediately checked his grandfather's condition. The old man was still breathing. Although it was weak, at least it hadn't reached the worst point.Immediately, he used the Guitian Double Shield on the wound.

"Based on your current physical condition where walking is difficult, using the Shuangtian Return Shield forcibly can heal the wound, which is already very good."

The system cat still looks fluffy and cute. It licks its paws with its pink tongue, but the words it speaks are very indifferent. A pair of emerald-like eyes are shining beautifully, without any emotion.

Fu Jiang flew the cat bullet out of the system, and focused on using Shuangtian Guishield again.

The golden light film is thin, and the dim light is almost disappearing. With both hands supporting the light film to cover the grandfather's abdomen, trembling slightly.Thin beads of sweat ooze from his forehead, his face is as pale as delicate and hard jade, without a trace of blood, his eyes are persistent and bright, and he is pushing his limit to treat grandpa.

This is the Fu Jiang I know.

The system cat hugged its tail and licked. It was Fu Jiang with such eyes that finally became the only winner.

Anything indifferent, willing to be mediocre, is a deceiving illusion.A person with such eyes should be born to be a fighter.

The thin light film was stretched to the limit, and a thin crack exploded, and then spread out of control, like a spider web, crumbling.Finally, after a crisp sound, it disintegrated and dispersed, turning into little golden light and dissipating in the air.

Fu Jiang's eyes turned cold, and the already chaotic atmosphere on his body became darker.

He remembered that there was a Tomie in Duwang Town, and hundreds of demons, all above lv3.

"Aren't you afraid that they are coming to swallow you now?" Sensing the change in Fu Jiang's aura, the system that had been with him for tens of thousands of years instantly understood what Fu Jiang was going to do, and hurriedly scolded. "They are afraid of you because of your strength. Now that you have no strength, they will obediently let you eat it?"

"Didn't I also be a weak cannon fodder like an ant at the beginning of the game?" Fu Jiang sneered, "Didn't I also gnaw all the way up?"

"... Fu Jiang..." A weak voice came, and the old man raised his hand tremblingly, "You are back..."

Fu Jiang hurriedly held his grandfather's skinny hand and agreed to him, and all other thoughts disappeared.

"Grandpa, I'm back," Fu Jiang said to his grandfather in a calm and gentle voice, "The ambulance will be here soon, Grandpa, you will be fine."

His lower lip was about to bleed from being bitten, and he used his last bit of strength to enclose the priest's blessing in it, hoping to help the old man tide over this difficulty.

"It was done by a prisoner on death row who escaped from prison." Jotaro Kujo walked in through the hole, "He has committed a lot of crimes in Morioh Town recently. I'm afraid he wanted to hide in the shrine and alarmed your grandfather."

"I'm Jotaro Kujo, a friend of your mother Michiko Kawakami. She should have mentioned to you that I went to Morioh Town recently, and she suggested that I stay at Kawakami's shrine. I arrived 2 minutes earlier, and your grandfather has already fell, and the condemned man escaped."

Kujo Jotaro approached, and unexpectedly found that the wound on the old man's abdomen had healed. He checked the old man's injury at that time, and then called Jousuke to come to rescue him.In just a short moment, the blood on the ground was still there, but the wound disappeared. He looked at the young man thoughtfully, could it be that he was also a stand-in messenger?But he didn't see the substitute appear.

"Mr. Jotaro! Where are you?" A panting voice sounded in the front yard, and the boy Dongsuke Jousuke who possessed the Crazy Diamond of Healing Substitute finally arrived.

Kujo Jotaro agreed, and footsteps came towards the backyard.

"Mr. Jotaro!" Although based on seniority, the 28-year-old Kujo Jotaro should call the 16-year-old Higashika Josuke his uncle, but Higashika Josuke respects his calm and steady "nephew" Jotaro very much. "Are you hurt?! Crazy Diamond!"

The red and white stand-in Crazy Diamond suddenly appeared, and gave a frenzied output to Kujo Jotaro. After a while, Kujo Jotaro fully recovered from his injuries.Dongfang Jousuke was a little puzzled, Mr. Jotaro didn't seem to let him skip class in a hurry because he was injured.

Tomie's eyes lit up, staring at the person who appeared out of nowhere, it was the same type as the big pink cat beside Yoshikage Kira.

Can grandpa be cured?

"Jousuke, look at the old gentleman over there." Kujo Jotaro said in a low voice. "It was injured by Angelo."

At the mention of that name, Higashika Josuke's eyes became dangerous.Not long ago, his grandfather, an old man who had been a patrolman in Duwang Town all his life, was killed by him who escaped from prison because he had arrested Angelo.

Jousuke's grandfather's funeral has just passed, and he and Jotaro are searching for Angelo's trace.

"Crazy Diamond!" Jousuke hurriedly used his promotion to treat the old man in a pool of blood, "Grandpa Kawakami!"

When Grandpa Jousuke was a policeman, he patrolled Morioh Town every day. He was diligent and conscientious, and he often came to take care of the shrine on the top of the hill on the edge of Morioh Town.The family also visits the shrine during New Year's Eve, and has a close relationship with Kawakami Shrine.

Kujo Jotaro noticed that when Crazy Diamond was approaching the old man, the boy gave up a convenient position for treatment.

Can you really see the substitute?

Nervously watching Crazy Diamond treat the old man, Dongfang Josuke noticed the boy kneeling beside the old man.

"Tomie!" Higashika Jousuke recognized his childhood playmate Kawakami Tomie at a glance after not seeing him for more than ten years.

Tomoe's appearance has changed a lot now compared to when he was a child, but Dongfang Josuke doesn't recognize people by their appearance.He always remembers one thing that can make him add the word "beautiful" before it is beautiful, then it must be Fu Jiang!

"I'm Jousuke, Dongfang Jousuke, when did you come back? Have you seen that scumbag who injured Grandpa Kawakami!"

Tomie looked up at the man who claimed to be Jotaro Kujo, "I only saw him when I came in." He was only worried about his grandfather's injury, and he didn't care whether there was a Higashi Jousuke in his accumulated memories of tens of thousands of years.

"Can you heal my grandfather's wound?"

Fu Jiang asked bluntly, and didn't mind letting the other party know that he could see that thing.

Dongfang Jousuke was surprised for a moment, "Fu Jiang, can you see it too? Are you also a stand-in messenger?"

"I'm not, I just can see it." Fu Jiang shook his head, "Jousuke, can you heal my grandfather's injury?"

Dongfang Jousuke looked embarrassed, "My crazy diamond ability is repairing, which can repair objects and bodies. Grandpa Kawakami's physical injuries have healed, but he is old, his health is not good, and now he is frightened..." Jousuke Glancing at Fu Jiang, he couldn't bear to say the following words.

Crazy diamonds cannot restore the spirit.

If the full version of the Shuangtian Guishield is used, the grandfather's physical and mental state can be restored to before everything happened.However, it can only be used once in five years, and all spiritual power will be exhausted once.Fu Jiang just used this opportunity on Xiao Curly.

"Where is the injured patient?!" Duwang Town is not too big, and the ambulance personnel quickly drove to the shrine and rushed in with first aid equipment.Seeing the old man lying in a pool of blood, seeing the horrific amount of bleeding, and roughly estimating the old man's age, his heart sank.

Fu Jiang, as the only family member, also went with him, and he felt empathy for having just lost his grandfather's support, and the childhood friendship with Fu Jiang naturally also went together.Jotaro Kujo was entrusted by Michiko Kawakami to help take care of his father and young son before she rushed back, and went to the hospital together.

Fu Jiang called his father about his grandfather, and the school also extended the vacation. He guarded the old man non-stop in the hospital.

Fu Jiang still remembers a woman named Ding Ji he met in the hide-and-seek game, who has the ability to dream.In that game, their identities were both 'people', and the two cooperated to clear the game together.

Before the separation, Ding Ji, who could not speak, dreamed of Fu Jiang's future.

"Death and destruction will be with you all your life, and no one will accompany you on your journey."

After returning from the game, Fu Jiang lost the intimacy with his parents, and the family relationship was weak.The only person who made him close was his grandfather. Seeing the old man lying on the hospital bed suffering from illness, he was overwhelmed and decided to try his best to swallow all the hundreds of demons staying in Duwang Town. If it was not enough, he would use the current Fu Jiang System, go to other worlds to find more energy.

"I advise you to calm down." The system cat squatted opposite Fu Jiang, "You know how much energy a full version of Guitian Double Shield needs." The system cat looked at the lonely Fu Jiang and sighed, jumped on Fu Jiang's head, "It would have been better if I had chosen the time-space drop point one day earlier."

It's a pity that there is no if, Fu Jiang can easily travel through time and space with the help of the system, but no matter which time and space he is in, on the same timeline, he can only go forward and cannot go back.

The past has become a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it.

In the end, Fu Jiang did not carry out his plan. It was not the system cat that stopped him, but the old man in a semi-comatose state.

The old man who is sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious will look for his grandson when he is awake, talk a lot, and call his daughter's name.

"...I visited the Tianshui family's shrine, and there are many people...I think that when I inherit the shrine, the Kawakami family's shrine will also become famous...It's lively..." The old man murmured, "But you They're all gone... they're gone... Michiko..."

"I'm back, Grandpa." Fu Jiang held the old man's hand and wiped away the muddy tears of the old man with a soft sponge. "I will make Kawakami's shrine the most famous. Look at me... soon."

"Fu Jiang, you have to be obedient...don't be picky eaters, eat well..." The old man twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, "Grandpa will buy you toys...don't fight with other children..."

"I know, I'm obedient, but carrots are really hard to eat."

……

This intermittent conversation lasted for four days. Before the sun rose on the fifth day, the old man suddenly recovered and his memory was no longer confused. He called Fu Jiang to help him sit up, opened the curtains, and faced Man □ Xia.

"I have asked Kigami to make your kimono. I have made three sets. The pick-up list is on the second floor of my bedside cabinet."

"I don't know the Mugami family. I'll pick it up myself when grandpa is well."

"...Grandpa can't walk anymore, Fu Jiang, you go, I will watch you behind you."

Fu Jiang's eyes were red, and one of the few childhood memories was that an old man brought back an old children's bicycle, and it was on the approach to the shrine, holding the back seat for him to learn all afternoon.

That's what I said when I finally let go.

"I'll watch you from behind."

When the morning glow was at its most beautiful, the old man stopped breathing.The sun still didn't show up that day, and the clouds became thicker and thicker, blocking the sun's rays, and it began to rain at noon.

Michiko Kawakami did not see her father for the last time. When Jotaro called her, she and the research ship were conducting an important research project in Antarctica.Far away from human habitation and inconvenient transportation, it took many trips before finally setting foot on the homeland.

Just in time for the farewell ceremony.

Michiko cried so much that she couldn't help herself, and fainted several times on the way. Compared with Fu Jiang, who stood quietly and returned the gift, she was too indifferent.But those who participated in the whole night before know that those who cry loudly are not filial.

There were many people who came to the funeral, including acquaintances in Morioh Town, as well as some old friends who had a good relationship.

The obituaries they received were all handwritten, with beautiful calligraphy, from Tomie Kawakami, Kawakami's grandson.

Shinto's funeral procedures are very complicated. When his daughter has not returned home, setting up the venue and contacting relatives and friends are all arranged by Tomie Kawakami.He is a teenage boy, and there is nothing wrong with what he does. After hearing that he will inherit the Kawakami Shrine, a group of old friends are sincerely happy for Kawakami.

Compared with the daughter who has been away from home for many years, this grandson is more likable.

What's the use of crying so much now?The old man lying quietly in the coffin could no longer hear anything.

Moreover, this grandson is also very capable, and even invited the head of the Chang family.

Kawakami Shrine's Ding Lingling, although he can be counted as a member of this circle, Mr. Kawakami has no spiritual power, neither does his daughter, and his relationship with the circle is already very weak.

Zhang Yimen can be regarded as a leading figure in the circle, and Zhang Jingsi, who is in charge, is young but very powerful, and has subdued many monsters as shikigami.He is also mysterious, and it is rare to see him on any occasion.It was surprising that he even participated in the whole night yesterday.

"Don't be too sad," the old man who came from Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture comforted Tomie, "Your grandfather must be very happy that you can inherit the Kawakami Shrine. This is my granddaughter and grandson. I talked to your grandfather about you before. When I was there, I even said I would introduce you to each other."

"Hello, I'm Kagome Higurashi, please forgive me." The girl bowed to Tomie, and her younger brother Higurashi Sota followed suit.

"Thank you." Fu Jiang nodded slightly in thanks.

Inuyasha, who followed Kagome all the way to Moriocho and hid in the sacred tree, suddenly realized. No wonder Kagome was so surprised to see the priest Tomie 500 years ago, and I am afraid that he knew him now.Met in the Warring States period, and heard all kinds of legends about priests, so I was confused.And Fu Jiang took special care of Kagome, probably because of this reason.

After seeing off the old man at Higurashi Shrine, Tomie saw Chang Jingsi as soon as he turned around.

"I have something to do, I can't accompany you." Chang Jingsi straightened the collar of the kimono for Fu Jiang, "Don't be too sad, take care of yourself."

"What do I ask you to do?"

"Wait for you to rest for a while, come to Chang Ben's house when you have time, and I will test it for you. You want me to introduce you to the task of eliminating demons, and I also need to know your current strength so that I can screen for you." Si smiled lightly. "Don't worry, at least wait until you graduate from high school. I will contact you then."

At night, the Kawakami Shrine is even more deserted after the bustle.

Michiko was arranging her father's belongings as Michiko heard muffled weeping from her grandfather's room.

Fu Jiang sat by the window in a daze in the room his grandfather had prepared for him.

"Do you regret using that chance to fight Fire Fist Ace?" The system cat sat on Fu Jiang's shoulder, gnawing on the dried fish.Its essence is a system, and it cannot empathize with the joys and sorrows of human beings. "If you don't use it up, you can save your grandfather."

Fu Jiang did not answer, leaning against the window and watching the lights in the distance.

"You are too arrogant, Fu Jiang." The system cat licked its paw, "This is a problem that all strong people with powers that are different from ordinary people will have. After you come back from victory, you think everything is too simple. You have stronger than others. With tens of thousands of times of power, you can easily achieve your goals no matter what you do. So you are arrogant, thinking that everything will be as you wish."

"Arrogance? Do I have one?"

"You have." The system pointed out ruthlessly, "You look at everything that happens around you with contempt, because you think it is very simple, so you don't care. Every strong person will make this mistake. After gaining power, they may be able to Maintain your good qualities such as kindness, integrity, enthusiasm, etc., but without exception, you will breed arrogance that you will not be aware of."

"You think you can easily control everything around you, but you are not. No matter how powerful you are, there are always times when you are powerless. Like you that day."

"That's because I'm not strong enough."

A meteor streaked across the night sky, rekindling the light in the dim black eyes.

"I don't regret saving Ace, I only regret that I am not strong enough. If I am strong enough, I will not be restricted once every five years, and I will not use up all my strength once I use it. My powerlessness is only because I am not strong enough."

"I need to get stronger."

After Fu Jiang's grandfather's funeral, Fu Jiang told Soichi Matsudaira and Michiko Kawakami of his decision.

"I will inherit Kawakami Shrine."

"Yes," Soichi Matsudaira still supported his son unconditionally. "I will let someone take care of the shrine. After you graduate from university, you will tell Dad when you have specific plans."

"No, I mean I'm going to inherit the shrine now. After high school, I don't plan to continue my studies."

"No." Michiko objected. "I know you are sad, and I understand your impulsive decision now. But you are really too young, and I cannot agree with you to spend the rest of your life trapped in this shrine."

The guilt and longing for her father made Michiko very haggard, but she still firmly opposed her son inheriting the shrine now.

"You should go and see the wider world, don't regret it."

"It's my decision and there's no need to discuss it."

"What about your studies?" Matsudaira didn't want Fu Jiang to live alone away from his parents at a young age. "At least finish high school first." There is still more than half a year before Fu Jiang finishes his senior year of high school. I just hope that time can dilute the sadness and let Fu Jiang calmly rethink his future.

Matsudaira left Duwang Town one by one, and he failed to bring Tomie back with him.

After pondering for a long time, he dialed a number.

"Is this Mr. Atobe? Hello, I am Soichi Matsudaira, Tomie Kawakami's father. There is something I want to ask you about Tomie."

After seeing off Michiko Kawakami, Tomie welcomed his friend again, and Keigo Atobe brought his pet dog to the shrine.
