My Curse? A Different Yandere in Every Reincarnation
Chapter 124: Strange Things

Chapter 124: Strange Things

It’s been a week since all that happened, and I’ve been trying to see how far things can be hidden from me, formulating theories while my paranoia is at an all-time high.

I’ve done various things and attempts, and even with my limited resources, I went after answers, both from the sect people and from Yesheon herself, though maybe Yeom would be better equipped to answer questions about death.

First, I would repeat the same questions to Yesheon every day to see if she would give a different answer, and every night when she came to check on my curse, I would question her about it.

I wanted to make sure that Yesheon really didn’t remember things, and that she wasn’t just lying to me while pretending. After all, I’m a bit paranoid about strange things.

But Yesheon always gave the same response, showing that she truly "doesn’t" know anything, meaning she really forgot everything she said the first time. I also tried to question her about mythology under the guise of not knowing much.

After all, each world has its own mythology, and I wanted to find out how the mythology about death is in this world and what the inhabitants believe is right.

Yesheon talked about the heavens, mainly focusing on that aspect, and when questioned about death and the state of things, the responses were unsatisfactory, but it does reveal something.

Strangely, knowledge about what death truly is is always extremely hidden in any world I go to, and people barely know the name of death, referring to it only as "death."

Because for everyone, death is just an abstract concept, not something that actually has a form. Even in worlds with magic or cultivation, death is just an abstract thing without a form.

I also questioned more about Yesheon’s master and the techniques he used, because he was undoubtedly a genius just for having discovered the real name of death, which is Sayuri.

In addition to being a genius, he was also visionary, as he not only discovered Sayuri but also believed in what he discovered and continued to try to find out more until he probably hit an insurmountable wall.

In this case, I got good answers. He used techniques mainly focused on souls and had a technique called "soul resonance" that allowed him to closely monitor the transition state of a soul.

Basically, with this ability, he wrote various cultivation books indicating how to reach a certain level more easily after seeing different disciples surpass their limits.

Because he could monitor the state of the soul and what it was doing, which is very different from just being able to observe the soul as many cultivators do, his discoveries were more extensive.

This earned him a reputation as a sage and caused the orthodox sect to grow, ironically, he died, but no one knows how or remembers how, he just died as if he had completely disappeared, and no one finds it strange.

Not even Yesheon knows how, when, and where he died, and when I talk about how strange this is, she says it’s not, but can’t explain why it’s not strange when questioned.

I can only deduce that he was "eliminated" for knowing more than he should. Now the question is, who is limiting the information about Sayuri? What is this being that keeps hiding information?

And why hide such information from "mortals" like us? What is so special about knowing more about death?

I know that having knowledge about Sayuri must be unusual, since she is death itself, but why hide this from everyone? It’s not like knowing this would cause something special to happen or anything like that.

Knowing about Sayuri doesn’t grant immortality or immunity to her, after all, this master of Yesheon’s disappeared, showing that just because he knew things, he didn’t gain any benefits, in fact, Yesheon doesn’t even remember his name.

And when questioned about it, she gets confused and suddenly changes the subject, as if it’s a taboo to be mentioned. I decided to stop investigating when things got too strange.

I was with Yesheon and Yui when I asked a question. The question was, if you have a master, but don’t remember anything about him, but know that he was wise and investigated many things, doesn’t that mean he was "eliminated" without anyone noticing because he discovered things he shouldn’t have?

When I said that to Yesheon, the atmosphere became heavy, as if I had said something I shouldn’t have. I got chills, and Yesheon also got completely terrified. The atmosphere became very cold, and I felt like I was going to die. Yesheon seemed horrified, so we both ran out of the room we were in and went to our respective rooms, where we stayed for hours.

I don’t know what happened, and I didn’t have the courage to question anything else after that, so I never talked about, mentioned, or tried to ask Yesheon about these things again. I even thought about asking Yui what that was all about, but I was too scared that something would really happen, and Yui didn’t bring up the subject either, so I’m assuming she was also bothered by it.

Apart from that frightening experience, everything was relatively normal. I trained a lot with Lyuei, and thanks to the healing pills, I made great progress in physical training, so now I’m slightly superior to a common person.

So if an ordinary bandit attacked me, I could probably land some punches and maybe win, of course, if he wasn’t much stronger than me, considering the obvious difference in strength between common men and women.

Lyuei said my fighting style would be better focused on agility, flexibility, and complexity rather than something focused on raw strength, as my physique is unsuitable for things that rely on brute force.

Which is a bit of a shame, because most of the bodies I’ve had so far have been similar, so it seems I’ll never be suitable for things that focus more on strength than speed.

But it’s not all bad to know I can focus on speed. It’s great for running away from Yanderes and finding some support that can defend me, because the idea of trying to fight a Yandere is bad.

So far, I’ve never had many chances against Yanderes. It’s as if fate limits me to always being weaker than my Yanderes, so I’ll have to be smarter than stronger.

This makes me think that if I have to defeat a Yandere, I could "flee" from him and make him fall into a trap. It wouldn’t be a bad idea, and I could even try to be a better person.

But Yanderes are a danger to society, and they shouldn’t be free to do whatever they want, but that’s something for me to think about in the future. I have a lot to think about with the problems I already have.

As a week has passed, Yesheon came to tell me that she is ready to try the dual cultivation again. I guess she finally figured out a way not to be too affected by my extreme Yin.

Which is great for both of us, after all, our time is limited. The longer we take, the more bothered Yeom will get and want to come to us, and it would be terrible if Yeom saw me and Yesheon cultivating together.

It’s not like I’m in a relationship with Yeom; Yeom hasn’t even assumed anything with me, but I know the madness of Yanderes well. Yeom would probably see it as a betrayal.

Even though we don’t have anything special between us, because Yanderes’ minds are crazy.

At least she won’t suddenly join the orthodox sect, and to do that, she’d have to break the defense formation of that sect, which would alert everyone and give me time to become presentable enough not to be suspicious.

Of course, even though I find my life in the demonic sect boring, it’s undeniable that Yeom usually takes good care of me, and has never physically hurt me in a truly aggressive way.

Although she’s always been very jealous if I interact too much with other girls or men in the sect, reducing my friendships to 0, which strangely led to a ridiculous rumor about me.

In the demonic sect, they say "Those who Shizune doesn’t like disappear faster than 100 breaths," which is a total lie, since normally those people disappear because I’ve tried to befriend them.

This has also made me lonely, as the "me" in this world has distanced herself from people so Yeom would stop killing them, especially because Yeom has never hidden that she makes those people disappear.

She would say every time, "I killed so-and-so because I saw you had a strange intimacy with them." In fact, I believe Yeom only let me stay in the orthodox sect because she thinks no one would try to be friends with me or anything similar.

I bet she never thought Yesheon would try to be my friend and try to make me a member of the orthodox sect.

"Shizune, what are you thinking about?" Yesheon asks as she starts taking off her clothes to start cultivating together.

"Ah, it’s nothing, we can get started," I say with a smile, stopping to think about Yeom and the strange things.
