I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 372 - 24: Forever Night (Part 2)

I don’t know if the Universal Medicine will work...

Even though it’s a replica, only about thirty percent of the original’s Effect, it’s still quite astonishing... Besides, if the quality is insufficient, quantity can make up for it—this method also exists.

However, the Witch’s current problem, strictly speaking, isn’t really an injury or illness, but a state that began with the resurrection... So chances are, the Universal Medicine won’t have the expected Effect, as the essence of medicine is to restore the user to their original state.

But what if the user’s current state is already like this?

This is the crux of the problem. He pondered seriously, thinking perhaps it might be worth finding an opportunity to try it out first, and if it doesn’t work, he could think of other solutions later...

"... Where did you say Kaguya’s lair is?"

The Witch’s cold voice rang out. Her calm words seemed devoid of any special fluctuations. She looked at Gu Mo, her eyes devoid of emotional ripples, and the trace of wistfulness in them was well-concealed.

"... Somewhere around the Fuji Five Lakes, but I can’t recall the exact location clearly."

Gu Mo rubbed his brow, contemplating as he answered. After all, it was a rather distant memory, naturally making impressions much fuzzier. He only remembered the positioning of Fuji Five Lakes by connecting the legend of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" with Kaguya and the five mystical treasures.

The Dragon Head Jade, Penglai Jade Branch, Stone Alms Bowl Before the Buddha, Yan’s Child Amber, and Fire Rat Fur, each treasure corresponds to one of the five lakes...

That should be the situation. Additionally, it seems the Celestial Maiden’s Feather Robe can also be taken to Mount Fuji for destruction, so everything is inextricably linked to the surroundings of Mount Fuji. Therefore, Kaguya’s stronghold should be within this range... it’s just unclear exactly where.

Of course, they just needed to head in that direction.

"Then let’s head there now..." The Witch gently nodded and stated calmly. Although the arrival of this eternal night indicates Kaguya is terrifying indeed, there are some things that must be done. It seems only the two of them could act normally in this world now.

If they didn’t resolve this, who could they possibly rely on?

Or, Himura Kagome might have indeed gone back five hundred years to seek help, but Kikyo wasn’t someone accustomed to pinning her hopes on others, so she was naturally ready to take action.

"Are we going now..." Gu Mo nodded compliantly, then couldn’t help but ask, "By the way, Kikyo, did you have something you wanted to say earlier?"

"..."

"..."

The Witch was turning her head towards the distance, her motion paused slightly at his words. She gently raised her hand to comb the fallen tresses beside her ear, softly saying, "I hope you can abandon your thoughts... There’s no need for you to go to such lengths, I can’t bear it either..."

Without turning around, she was only facing away from him. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"I understand that now. I’m no longer interested in the Four Souls Jade..." Gu Mo nodded repeatedly, as if he had suddenly understood, speaking decisively and without hesitation.

Kikyo still didn’t turn her head, only letting out a silent, faint sigh.

She clearly wasn’t talking about this...

Yet, she also felt an indescribable feeling in her heart... She wanted to make things clear with him and was mentally prepared for the possibility of parting ways. However, he chose not to address it directly, much like his earlier ironic words that instead made things immediately clear.

"I hope so..."

She murmured softly.

...

...

Perhaps, in a certain sense, it was the same time.

Five hundred years ago.

Warring States Era.

"Kaguya... it’s been quite some time since I’ve heard that name."

Master Maitreya, who was following ahead while carrying Himura Kagome, spoke up as they dashed through the forest. His Physical Strength was quite admirable, allowing him to keep up with Inuyasha’s pace, while still managing to contemplate and speak, appearing full of vigor.

"Indeed, it happened during my grandfather’s time. He was already cursed by Naraku then and passed through a village while tracking him... But the seal shouldn’t be so easily broken."

"Master, the incident occurred in my time, which is five hundred years in the future... With so many years having passed, nothing would be surprising."

Himura Kagome poked her head out from Inuyasha’s arms, explaining loudly through the rushing wind, her face appearing slightly pale.

Returning to this era, racing back from the forest to the village in urgency alarmed everyone... Plus, she hadn’t realized she was carrying a large backpack, essentially performing a weighted cross-country run—her potential had Burst under the emergency.

People are like this; unless pushed, they don’t know their own limits... Ah, no, rather, they don’t know what they are capable of.

But no matter how much potential is released, there must be a limit, so now Himura Kagome had to be carried by Inuyasha towards the Bone-Devouring Well... She had long been accustomed to such occurrences, feeling neither shy nor awkward.

"Five hundred years later..."

Master Maitreya’s expression turned somewhat helpless, as he didn’t have much realization in this regard. Only when the girl returned each time with various convenient foods from the modern world could he feel a tinge of exotic flavor.
