Upon seeing the snake's incredulous expression, Su Nuo felt a surge of immense accomplishment, as if he had finally gained recognition, and couldn't help but raise his head.
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out:
"After killing Yamata no Orochi, you will become the next King of Curses."
Hearing this, Su Nuo was somewhat taken aback. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Lilith had woken up at some point and was lying on the second-floor balcony watching his conversation with the snake...
Chapter 79: Where is the real enemy?
King of Curses? For Su Nuo, this is hardly a good term. In his view, monsters are composed of various negative energies and curses, and King of Curses is equivalent to Demon King.
"How could someone become the King of Curses? How utterly depraved must they be?" Su Nuo quickly retorted.
"Boss, I have absolutely nothing to do with the King of Curses. If I had to say, I'd say I'm a revolutionary."
"revolutionary?"
Upon hearing this word, Lilith couldn't help but laugh out loud, glancing at Su Nuo, and leaning back tactically while gripping the railing with both hands:
"You call yourself a revolutionary, so what have you actually done?"
Su Nuo held his head high and chest out:
“My ideas have influenced many people. These days, I have met many like-minded partners. We are all willing to fight for the same goal. Is that enough?”
After hearing this, Lilith shook her head slightly and continued to ask:
"Let me put it another way: how many of your companions are educated people?"
Su Nuo was taken aback, unsure of what Lilith wanted to do by asking that question, but he answered without hesitation.
"About a dozen or so, but most of them only know how to read and recite poems..."
Before Su Nuo could finish speaking, Lilith asked the next question.
"So your slogan is to overthrow the nobles and let everyone have land to cultivate, clothes to wear, and no longer worry about making a living?"
"........."
Su Nuo was silent for a few seconds. Clearly, what Lilith said was true. He looked at Lilith, not understanding what she wanted to say.
Lilith nodded slightly, thinking to herself, "Just as I thought," and said:
"Alright, I understand. Your revolution will most likely end in failure, so don't have too high hopes for it."
Upon hearing this, Su Nuo could hardly believe his ears. He stared at Lilith, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak.
Lilith, however, seemed not to have had enough and quickly raised a new question regarding Su Nuo's return:
"Shouldn't you be out there leading those farmers right now? What are you doing here?"
Su Nuo subconsciously answered:
"Of course, we're taking you to enjoy a life of luxury..."
"The revolution hasn't even succeeded yet, and you're already indulging in pleasure? That's typical hedonism."
Lilith couldn't wait to pin a label on Su Nuo, her tone becoming resolute:
"In that case, the revolution you are leading is bound to fail, I'm telling you."
Upon hearing this, Su Nuo immediately became anxious. He only wanted to fulfill Lilith's wish to "enjoy life in the city," but upon returning, he was treated like this by Lilith. How could he remain calm?
"Boss, what you're saying is a bit too much. With me leading them, the success of this revolution is inevitable. Even if you don't believe in me, there's no need to curse me like that."
Lilith, however, remained calm and posed a crucial question:
"Without you, what are they? Farmers, refugees, country bumpkins? Just a mob."
Upon hearing this, Su Nuo was completely flustered. He wanted to refute it, but he didn't know how. After thinking about it carefully, he even felt that Lilith's words made some sense.
Without Su Nuo, the ideal state would be an organization that could be easily wiped out by nobles or the court. Although ideas are immortal, their victory in the face of absolute power is very limited.
Su Nuo fell into a long silence. The sense of accomplishment he had just gained from the snake vanished instantly. He remained silent, pondering where he had gone wrong and what had upset Lilith.
The snake, who had overheard the entire conversation between Lilith and Sukuna, was completely bewildered. It couldn't understand the words about revolution at all, but it could tell from their conversation that Lilith was making things difficult for Sukuna.
Seeing that Su Nuo had been forced into silence, the snake wanted to plead for Su Nuo:
"Actually, this kid meant well. Isn't it a bit too much to keep negating him like this?"
However, the snake's good intentions only earned it a dismissive remark from Lilith:
Do you even know what class contradictions and struggles are?
"........."
The snake was speechless for a moment, completely unable to understand what Lilith was saying, so it had no choice but to obediently shut its mouth, bury its head in the lake, and only its eyes were visible as it observed the outside world...
Some time passed, and Su Nu still couldn't figure out what he had done wrong. He could only pin his hopes on Lilith and ask her:
"So, boss, what do you think I should do?"
"Leave here and continue doing what you're supposed to do."
Lilith answered very readily, as if she had already thought of this answer in her mind.
Now that things had come to this, even though Su Nuo was reluctant, he had no choice but to leave as Lilith had instructed. However, before truly leaving, he made a promise to Lilith:
"Don't worry, boss. Once the revolution is over, I will definitely make sure you live a good life... I definitely will."
After saying that, Su Nuo didn't even stay there for a day before going down the mountain again.
Su Nuo did not take the rugged path, nor did he use the Kusanagi Sword to teleport. Instead, he jumped directly off the mountaintop, and with a "thud," he landed on the ground.
The mountain was about 300 meters high, but even at that height, Su Nuo's legs were only slightly bent. After standing up, he took heavy steps and walked back the way he came without looking back.
After seeing Su Nuo leave, Lilith went back inside and sat at the dining table downstairs for a while. Amelia then brought tea and snacks.
While Lilith enjoyed her morning tea, Amelia stood to the side, and only after Lilith had almost finished eating did she finally ask out of curiosity:
"Boss, Su Nuo just got back, why didn't you let him stay for a while before kicking him out?"
Lilith glanced at Amelia, then quickly looked away, grabbed a piece of char siu with her bare hands, took a bite, and said while enjoying it:
"You think I don't want him to stay for a while? I've been so bored these days that I can only pass the time by sleeping."
However, after Su Nuo left, the organization he had painstakingly built was targeted, and if he wasn't allowed to return quickly, all his hard work might be destroyed.
Amelia was surprised:
Is it that serious?
"of course."
Lilith leisurely ate her morning tea, thinking that there were no secrets in this world if one wanted to, and said:
"After all, Sukuna's enemies have never been as simple as humans."
As she spoke, Lilith took another bite of the char siu, sucking on her fingers, and instructed:
"Remember to make more char siu next time."
Amelia nodded and said "yes," then began to clear away the dishes.
Several days later...
Su Nuo returned to the organization he had personally founded, feeling dejected. After being rejected by Lilith, he desperately wanted to rest and relieve his depressed mood.
However, before he had even returned to the base, he smelled a strong stench of blood from afar. This smell immediately made Su Nuo think of something bad, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickened his pace and returned to the base.
But what he saw was a ground littered with corpses. Those familiar people, those whose names he could recall, were now lying in pools of blood, as if they had just been through a battle.
No, it should be described as a one-sided massacre...
Chapter 80: A Mistake Made in a fit of rage
Among these figures, Su Nuo saw the person he least wanted to see. He rushed over, helped up the body that was no longer warm, and wiped the blood from the face with his hands.
"Tieping? Tieping? How could you... Who did this?!"
Holding Tieping's body, Su Nuo cried out, "Tieping was perfectly fine just a few days ago, but he died without warning or reason!"
The only apparent cause of his death was Sukuna's recent departure.
Looking at the gruesome corpses around him, Su Nuo smirked, blaming himself entirely for their deaths. If he hadn't left, these idealistic people wouldn't have died.
Su Nuo didn't know whether to cry or be angry. His upbringing told him that doing this was pointless. After a moment of confusion, he began to think:
Who is the murderer, and why did they do it?
The members of the ideal state were mostly farmers, numbering around six thousand. What could have driven the murderer to brutally massacre these six thousand farmers? What did they have that made them worthy of being killed?
At first, Su Nu couldn't think of any other reason besides the murderer deliberately seeking revenge against him, but soon he realized that these farmers possessed something even more terrifying than strength:
Thought.
Previously, when farmers were oppressed and enslaved, they never resisted. For thousands of years, their ancestors had lived this kind of life, and they had long been accustomed to it, not knowing what resistance was.
Now they've discovered that just because something has always been this way doesn't mean it's right.
They were no less noble than the nobility; they were human beings, living on the same land and breathing the same air.
Ideas spread, and as more and more of the oppressed understand this, and as more and more of the oppressed rise up in resistance, the first to suffer will be those powerful and wealthy families.
The murderer is obvious.
Su Nuo took a deep breath, preparing to settle accounts with those powerful and wealthy families, but just then, something strange suddenly caught his attention.
It was a weak breathing sound, so clear in this land littered with corpses. Su Nuo was startled and quickly followed the sound. Before long, he found a person with bandages wrapped around their head.
At this moment, the man's arm was broken and there was a huge gash in his abdomen; he was clearly beyond saving.
Su Nuo came to his side, her brows furrowed, and took the limp hand in hers, blaming herself:
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered this calamity."
"Lord Su Nuo...?"
The man recognized Su Nuo's voice. He tried his best to open his eyes, but it was no use. He could only open his mouth and pour out everything he knew.
The whispered words gathered into the name "Fujiwara" in Sukuna's ear, and the next second, the person breathed their last.
"Fujiwara..."
