Chapter 54 Chapter 54 A few minutes later.

"The field expands."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was more like ripples caused by a huge rock thrown into a calm lake.

A distorted energy erupted with Eri Kimoto as the center, and the scene before everyone present changed.

The light seemed to be distorted, and what was under my feet didn't feel like a floor, but more like I was trapped in a pitch-black darkness. After the collision of the cursed powers of the two sides, the domain of the special cursed spirit Dai Tian was about to disappear!

The few candle lights that suddenly appeared in the sky slowly lit up like ghost lights. With this strange light source, everyone was shocked when they finally saw the scenery clearly.

...This isn't even the juvenile detention center we were just in. The environment was already strange under the influence of the super-cursed spirit Dai Tian, ​​but now it feels even more like a haunted house, okay?!

Standing in this semi-finished domain, the special curse spirit Dai Tian also looked a little confused. Most of his own domain had disappeared. He turned his head frantically and scanned the surrounding environment.

It was pitch black, and the ground beneath his feet was also sticky and dark. It was quiet, with no sound except for the rapid breathing of the teenagers lying on the ground. What made people stare even more wide-eyed was indeed these dolls stacked together.

They are densely packed and piled up like mountains. No matter which direction you look, you will see dolls that make your scalp tingle, and dolls of various shapes.

There were large and small ones, some in human form, some in animal form, and of course some in the form of cursed spirits. There were so many that it was impossible to describe them in hundreds or thousands.

Some were missing arms and legs, some had shattered glass eyes, some wore tattered clothes, and some even had bright red marks on their mouths, as if they had vomited blood... They were all dolls, and the incomplete and intact dolls all had empty eyes, staring at Qi Ben Eri and Dai Tian in the center of the area.

"A child puppet show... not quite."

It was like a suffocating horror scene, which gave several people goosebumps.

Eri Kimoto stood in the center of the area, her face pale and almost transparent, her body trembling frighteningly, and even more frightening was the blood that seemed to be dripping uncontrollably from her nose.

Her hands still maintained the posture of a puppeteer, and her body could be seen trembling with the naked eye. It was obvious that opening up this incomplete domain was already a terrifying burden. At least for her now, it was still too early.

But after wiping the blood from her nose, the smile on her face and the fiery heat in her eyes were indeed so bright that it was frightening. Fushiguro Megumi was horrified. He subconsciously seemed to know that it was best not to be touched by anything in this area. Among these countless dolls, some were her original collection, and more were dolls that were infused with cursed spirits.

"Eri!" The boy with the sea urchin hair looked at her anxiously. Eri Qiben's condition was really worrying, but it was both a worry and a reminder, so he could still continue to cooperate.

Dai Tian, ​​who was trapped in the doll trap, was obviously irritated by this strange space and the dolls' empty gazes. He took a deep breath and shot out another wave of curse power from his mouth, but this time it was blocked in mid-air.

Before it exploded, a giant bear-shaped doll appeared in the air with its mouth wide open and was sucked into its stomach. Immediately afterwards, a strange and murderous light flashed in the doll's glass eyes.

"Ahaha."

"That counts!" Qi Ben Eri's eyes brightened a little more, and she giggled happily, covering her lips. "How interesting!"

As if to verify her words, all of a sudden, there seemed to be movements of varying sizes among the piles of dolls. Fushiguro Megumi immediately reached out and pulled Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki, who were not far away, to her side to prevent them from being affected.

Then it appeared that dolls of different styles seemed to come alive. They were no longer restricted to their own shackles, but restored to their original abilities. They even became stronger in the domain of their masters.

With all kinds of fierce lights in their eyes, they rushed towards the special curse spirit that had just touched the taboo from all directions, and instantly submerged its body.

"Roar—" Dai Tian roared in shock and anger. In addition to shooting out waves of curse power, he also used his claws to tear apart these annoying cursed dolls.

But the number of these cursed dolls was too large. Even if they were torn apart, it would not affect their movements at all. What was even more terrifying was not this.

The special curse spirit seemed to find that it had lost some control over its body. The power of paralysis and erosion was gradually spreading along the places it was touched. This feeling made it feel confused, and soon a strange fear arose in its heart.

A somewhat panicked expression appeared on the face of this special cursed spirit that was born today. It could not think of any other way but to use its fists imbued with cursed power to hit the densely packed dolls more forcefully and more violently, and then tore them apart anxiously and savagely.

"What's going on?!" Kugisaki Nobara barely managed to stand still: "This...is this Eri's territory?!"

"No, it's the unfinished version of the half-domain," Fushiguro Megumi said with a serious expression, his eyes fixed on the man, as if he was ready to provide reinforcements at any time, "She..."

So awesome.

"Hey,"

"The overdraft is huge,"

"That's really interesting,"

"I thought she would call that sister over like last time."

A sudden voice appeared beside them, and Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara turned around suddenly.

Yuji Itadori quickly waved his hands: "It's not me!!"

It's Ryomen Sukuna.

Ryoumen Sukuna's mouth popped out from Yuji Itadori's face, and his tone was full of malice and interest: "How long can you hold on?"

This old monster can only talk big. The currently very sober Yuji Itadori will not let him out easily.

.

After the paralysis, the piercing pain began to appear again. The intense pain seemed to indicate that he had become a fish at the mercy of others. At least now Dai Tian was in trouble. He could not get rid of it or escape.

This situation reminded the other people watching of a bug trapped in a spider web, which could only wait to be bound, tortured and die. However, Eri Kimoto's current appearance was too abnormal.

Seeing that Eri Kimoto was like a madman, she continued to tighten her hands while laughing. There was madness flashing in the girl's eyes, and the blood from her mouth and nose could not be stopped.

Fushiguro Megumi was horrified. After she coughed up another mouthful of blood, Fushiguro Megumi finally couldn't bear it anymore and he also made the same move: "Enough——"

A louder scream finally came from the mouth of the special curse spirit Dai Tian.

His mind was disturbed, his movements became slower and slower, his curse power became chaotic, and after his body was covered with densely packed dolls emitting dim light, he finally had no ability to resist. The special curse spirit Dai Tian was submerged and then dismembered.

The special-grade creature, which had only been born not long ago, was torn into pieces and disappeared. The entire space fell silent again, and then everyone heard a slight "click".

"Yo,"

Ryoumen Sukuna scoffed, "I didn't expect there was another one here."

Itadori Yuji also came back to his senses from what he had just seen. He looked at the fallen objects on the ground in surprise: "Why is there Ryoumen Sukuna's finger?"

Before Fushiguro Megumi could think about it, the madman over there had reached his limit.

The place where she stepped felt like solid ground. The faint will-o'-the-wisps had disappeared, and the piles of dolls had also vanished completely. Everything had disappeared, whether it was her half-open domain or the domain of the cursed spirit Dai Tian. This place had returned to its original normal juvenile detention center.

All her strength was instantly drained away. Everything she had just been holding on to, everything she had been forcibly maintaining to fight against the special-grade curse spirit, made her fall backwards with almost no strength left.

Fortunately, I fell into a warm embrace.

"Eri!"

"painted--"

Compared to the other two people's voices, the first one to appear behind her was the person she had been with the longest, Fushiguro Megumi caught her in time.

The madman in his arms was pale and bloody, and his nosebleed hadn't even stopped yet, but when she looked up at him, her eyes were frighteningly bright.

Seeing that she seemed to want to say something, Fushiguro Megumi immediately lowered her head: "Are you okay?!"

Eri Kimoto responded by suddenly raising her arms and wrapping them around his neck.

“So tired…”

She buried her head in the boy's neck obediently. Before closing her eyes, Eri Norimoto whispered with the last bit of strength she had: "So...how many points can you get this time, Fushiguro-san?"

There was an imperceptible happiness in his tone.

There was also a hint of coquettishness that she herself was not aware of.

“....”

Fushiguro Megumi pursed her lips tightly and held her tightly in his arms, even though she had already closed her eyes.

"What a messy idiot."

....

....

So tired.

Eri Kimoto felt like she had been floating in endless darkness for a long time. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the Chinese class when she first transferred to Saitama. Did Natsume Soseki feel the same way after jumping off the boat in his dream?

Then, consciousness slowly gathered in the gradually clearer sounds around her, and she hoped that Eri could hear the voices around her ears more and more clearly.

"Are you really just still sleeping?"

"It's already the third day. Even a half-open domain is too much for her, right?"

"Tsk! Damn, it's a special mission! What the hell are those people thinking?!"

"Keep your voice down."

"You know it, Yuta, Rika will probably go berserk again, and then--"

"Don't make any noise! ​​Let her sleep well!"

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, I know, don't pinch my ears, Wild Rose—"

It's so noisy, maybe everyone is here.

My sense of touch has also returned. Who is helping me pick up the blanket? The hand pauses for a moment before leaving without a trace.

Her sense of smell gradually recovered, and Eri Kimoto seemed to smell a very familiar scent, which was getting closer and closer to her, fresh and soothing.

"...Why aren't you awake yet?"

It was a very soft voice, it was Fushiguro-san's voice. I felt like I could guess it accurately without even looking at his expression. He must be frowning again.

It's funny just thinking about it. Qi Ben Eri squinted her eyes a little bit, and after a while she adjusted herself, she slowly opened her eyes. At the same time, she also heard the voices of her peers and seniors.

"Eri! Are you awake?"

"Eri-Eri is awake!!"

My blurred vision gradually became clear, and I saw my classmates and seniors. In addition to the urchin-haired boy who was very close to me, there was also a silver-haired man sitting upside down on a bench beside me who was also very conspicuous.

"Eri."

"Are you okay?"

Gojo Satoru, who was on a business trip, also returned.
