Chapter 162 Chapter 162 Zai: "I haven't drawn a card for a long time...

162

"The original purpose of Brain Flower and Zhenren sending the Curse Spirits to attack the school was to seize the Curse Embryo Nine Phase Diagram, right? If we move directly to the anchor point of Hongxing Palace, won't we be considered to be in cahoots with the Curse Spirits?"

Sakata Gintoki yawned and said weakly, "I don't want to be hunted by a sorcerer, especially a white-haired man."

Li Xiaoqi groaned for a moment, a puzzled look on his face.

"Is this the time the Cursed Fetus Nine Phase Diagram was stolen?"

Sakata Gintoki raised his hand and gently stroked his chin, saying casually, "That should be the case."

Li Xiaoqi tilted his head, "Hmm... maybe? I can't remember the details."

Sakata Gintoki turned his head and looked over, not paying any attention to Geto Suguru, and continued, "Um, um, didn't Itadori and the others encounter the pair of cursed brothers after the exchange meeting?"

When Li Xiaoqi heard this, he remembered something and his eyes lit up instantly.

“That’s right!”

Sakata Gintoki hummed softly, puffed out his chest and said proudly: "Gin, I am a loyal fan of Jump."

Li Xiaoqi clapped his hands, "Amazing, awesome! You're worthy of being a big boss."

Dazai Osamu raised his hand to support his forehead and pushed Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki into the portal.

"How long are you going to dawdle?"

Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki's faces froze, and they looked like they wanted to cry but couldn't.

"But, there are special-grade curse spirits here."

"That's right, Yin, I want to live another hundred years."

Dazai Osamu ignored the two of them and took the door back by himself.

When Geto Xiayou heard the conversation between Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

"How did you know the mastermind behind the attack on the Jujutsu High School? And the purpose of the cursed spirit? And the Nine Phases of the Curse Embryo Diagram should be a secret of the Jujutsu world..."

Geto Suguru had heard of the items sealed inside the Jujutsu High School, among which was the Nine Phases Diagram of the Cursed Embryo.

The birth of the Cursed Fetus Nine Phases Diagram was not glorious. It was the result of an experiment conducted by the Kamo family during the Meiji period on a woman with a special physique.

The woman was able to conceive a child with a cursed spirit. After seeking refuge in a temple run by the Kamo family, one of the three great families in the world of curse magic, she was exploited by the head of the family at the time, who forced her to conceive an embryo with the cursed spirit. She became pregnant nine times and had nine abortions, and these nine embryos formed the Nine Phases Diagram of Cursed Fetuses.

Li Xiaoqi curled the corners of his lips and met Xia Youjie's puzzled gaze with a bright smile.

"I just happen to know some of it."

Sakata Gintoki and Dazai Osamu did not continue speaking, but looked at Geto Suguru silently.

Geto Xia Yu noticed their gazes and quickly understood what they meant.

He smiled and whispered, "I believe you."

"You said these words to my face, and you believe me."

"Thanks."

Li Xiaoqi widened the smile on his lips and took two steps forward.

"let's go."

Xia Youjie had a gentle expression and walked beside Li Xiaoqi.

After hearing this, Dazai Osamu glanced at Sakata Gintoki with a reproachful look.

Sakata Gintoki spread his hands and looked apologetic.

He raised his chin and motioned Dazai Osamu to look at Geto Suguru and Li Xiaoqi.

Dazai Osamu's eyelashes flickered slightly, and he understood what Sakata Gintoki was conveying without words.

Li Xiaoqi believed in Geto Suguru, so he discussed it with Sakata Gintoki so openly.

He tightened his fingers, took a deep breath, and then reluctantly let go.

The group walked slowly along the forest path, getting closer and closer to the place where the fight was taking place.

The three of them deliberately slowed down their pace, not wanting the curse spirit to discover their presence.

The trees moved back, and the view that was blocked by branches and bushes gradually became wider, and the sound of flowing water could be heard faintly.

Li Xiaoqi narrowed his eyes and saw dark red runes in the woods.

"Um?"

The next second, Sakata Gintoki dragged Dazai Osamu and Li Xiaoqi behind a tall bush and stuck his head out to observe.

Li Xiaoqi pushed aside the leaves and his vision became clear.

Not far ahead, Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todou were fighting with Hanamiya, and black lightning appeared as Yuji Itadori moved.

The entire sky was covered in orange-red, and the clouds on the distant hills looked like fire.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Dongtang Aoi's face, and his rebellious smile looked particularly dazzling at this moment.

The sound of clapping was heard, and Aoi Todou kept moving, confusing Hanamiya's vision and giving Yuji Itadori the opportunity to attack.

This should have been the same scene as seen in the animation before, but there was something very conspicuous appearing in the open space where the stream flowed.

It was a precious treasure chest wrapped in dark red runes, reflecting tiny rays of light in the setting sun.

There were some burns on the bodies of Aoi Todou and Yuji Itadori.

Their faces were covered in black ash, and large areas of the surrounding grass were burned.

Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide and stared at the treasure chest in disbelief.

Is it really okay for the treasure chest to appear here in plain sight?

“……&**()()”

Hua Yu stopped, looked at the treasure chest, and said something.

Yuji Itadori frowned slightly, "Hey, I told you I don't understand what you're saying!"

Todo Aoi turned his neck, tensed his muscles, and held the special-grade cursed tool Youyun tightly in his hand. The red nunchaku bent into a snake shape.

"Youjin! Don't waste time talking to this guy, just kill him."

Sakata Gintoki frowned slightly, and Hanami's black left arm and the red flower bud on his shoulder were reflected in his eyes.

"This is……"

Geto Xia Yu's pupils suddenly shrank, and scattered memories emerged.

"I think I've seen this cursed spirit before...? Yes, it was the special-class one standing next to the suture cursed spirit. Besides that, there was another special-class one with a crater as its head."

Li Xiaoqi pondered for a moment and looked at his companions.

Dazai Osamu was standing nearby, his eyes fixed on Itadori Yuji and Todou Aoi, "Besides this cursed spirit called Hanamiya, there should be other enemies at the scene."

Sakata Gintoki couldn't deny it, "Yes, after all, Hanami doesn't have the ability of fire element."

The two were discussing seriously. Xia Yujie looked hesitant and said, "It's better not to talk too much, otherwise we'll be discovered..."

As a result, as soon as he spoke, Hua Yu noticed the movement here.

In an instant, a tall figure appeared behind Li Xiaoqi, Dazai Osamu and Sakata Gintoki, and the shadow covered them.

The three of them froze and turned their heads slowly like robots, screaming the moment they met Hua Yu's gaze.

"ah!!!"

The next second, Li Xiaoqi, Sakata Gintoki and Dazai Osamu quickly stood up, wanting to leave Hanami's attack range immediately.

Unexpectedly, Sakata Gintoki was tripped by the protruding tree trunk at the bottom of the bushes and fell face first to the ground.

He stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed Dazai Osamu in front of him.

Dazai Osamu's clothes were grabbed, and he staggered for a moment, half-kneeling on the ground with an unsteady step.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand like Sakata Gintoki and subconsciously grabbed the hem of Li Xiaoqi's kimono.

Li Xiaoqi was pulled down with great force and sat down on the ground.

"If you want to fall, just fall. Why are you pulling me down?!"

"Dazai! You're about to tear my clothes off—"

"It hurts, it hurts, are you going to leave me and run away? I am your companion after all!"

For a moment, the three of them showed their ugly faces and acted extremely despicable in the face of danger.

Geto Xia Yu took a step back, turned his head away silently, and raised his hands to cover his cheeks.

Hua Yu fell into a brief silence as he watched the scene in front of him where everyone was pulling each other and betraying each other's teammates.

He fixed his gaze on the translucent Geto Suguru, a puzzled look on his face.

Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todou looked stunned, staring at the three people who suddenly broke in.

"Teacher Geto?"

Toudou Aoi exclaimed in surprise.

Yuji Itadori raised his hand and scratched his hair, "I seem to have seen that translucent man somewhere before."

His brain froze for a few seconds, then a lightbulb lit up in his head.

"I remember now, you're Takeru-sensei! The one in the photo with Gojo-sensei and Nozomi-sensei—"

Geto Suguru came back to his senses and looked at Yuji Itadori, "Are you a new student?"

Yuji Itadori smiled brightly and nodded heavily.

"yes!"

"Teacher Geto, how did you become like this? Everyone's been looking for you for a long time. We heard that you became a curse caster, but Teacher Gojo and Teacher Naoko still don't believe it. They think it must be those people above who acted without authorization..."

Dongtang Aoi came to his senses and stopped him sternly.

"Yujin, no more words! If you still want to become a first-class sorcerer."

Yuji Itadori opened his eyes wide and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Toudou Aoi didn't say anything, but stared at Geto Suguru with a vigilant and defensive look.

“￥……%**”

Hua Yu spoke again, but still no one could understand what he said.

Suddenly, the sound of mechanical operation was heard.

Li Xiaoqi, Dazai Osamu and Sakata Gintoki, who were still pulling, were stunned and stopped.

A huge mechanical snake broke out of the ground and swayed its body in front of the three people.

The body made of polyhedral parts made a harsh metallic friction sound, and the gears and sharp corners on the head were accumulating energy.

In the blink of an eye, golden electric current surrounded the mechanical snake, making a crackling sound.

Li Xiaoqi was so frightened that he let go of Dazai Osamu's collar and said, "Oh my god!"

Sakata Gintoki and Dazai Osamu, who had also played the game, quickly recognized the mechanical device.

The giant snake of ruins!

Aoi Todou and Yuji Itadori let out a sigh and quickly stepped back a distance.

"Oh no! This mechanical monster appears again!"

Yuji Itadori shouted in a deep voice.

"Hey, you better get out of the way—"

Hua Yu flashed away from Li Xiaoqi, Sakata Gintoki and Dazai Osamu, and stood opposite Itadori Yuji, looking quite afraid of the giant relic snake.

"Ting ting! A precious treasure chest has been discovered ahead. Please defeat the giant ruins snake and open the treasure chest."

The voice of Administrator June echoed in my mind.

Li Xiaoqi's eyes went dark as he almost collapsed to the ground looking at the giant snake ruins that was almost three stories high.

"Beat, beat?"

Sakata Gintoki's face turned pale, and his hand reached to his waist to grasp the hilt of Toyako's sword.

Dazai Osamu stood up and walked in front of Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki.

Li Xiaoqi raised his head and stared at Dazai Osamu's back in a daze.

The black coat fluttered in the air currents created by the giant snake of the ruins. Dazai Osamu put his index and middle fingers together and drew them across his chest.

In an instant, golden light descended from the sky.

Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki opened their eyes wide in fear and shouted in despair: "You are so ruthless and you still draw cards. If you want us to die, just say it directly--"

Dazai Osamu turned his head, gave a thumbs-up, and said in disbelief, "It's okay. I haven't drawn a card in a long time. It's absolutely fine!"
