For Shui Jiangyi now, carrying out missions is something he is very adept at.
He followed Fushiguro Megumi and the others out of the campus with familiarity, and got into Ijichi's car with familiarity. The difference from usual was probably that this time, no one spoke on the way to the mission location. Everyone was very silent, and the air was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
Shui Jiangyi was tortured by such silence and wanted to speak several times. He wanted to say something, but he knew very well that now was not a good opportunity to say anything. The news of Gojo Satoru's disappearance was imminent, and the cursed spirit was watching him covetously.
Unfortunately, even though he was so clear-headed, he still couldn't calm down. He had to force himself to glance over and look at the scenery outside the window. The scenery, whether gorgeous or plain, passed by him quickly like a flash of light, leaving only a vague silhouette.
He felt a little bit like he was out of the world. Unlike usual, this time there was no system chattering in his ear. Everything seemed very quiet, so quiet that it felt a bit lonely.
Mizue Yi thought that since he became Yuji Itadori, he rarely felt so lonely.
After completing the mission and finding Gojo Satoru, he will explain it to everyone.
That should be a good time.
·
Yijizhi's car stopped in the suburbs, and Shui Jiangyi got out of the car. His endurance had become very high after repeated missions. After getting used to the pain for a while, he could walk normally now, and there was no pain on his face.
He was just a little confused and asked Yidizhi: "Are you sure the mission location is here?"
He said that the scenery outside seemed so familiar when he was in the car. When he got out and took a closer look, he realized that this was the place where the kimono-clad woman named Yingzi brought Mizue Yi when he just woke up. This was the so-called mansion of a high-ranking official in the world of sorcery.
However, compared to the grandeur at that time, the nobility that could be felt just by standing at the door, the mansion was now in a very dilapidated state, almost more than half collapsed, with the ground in a mess, rubble and wood chips everywhere, and a smell of stale dust, which was why Shui Jiangyi did not recognize it at the first sight.
Yi Dizhi felt a little guilty about Shui Jiangyi's doubts, and couldn't help but chuckled twice: "It's right here."
"Hito, do you know where this is?" asked Megumi Fushiguro who got off the car later.
Shui Jiangyi nodded and explained, "Yes, wasn't I brought back from outside by Gojo-sensei once before? It was here that I met Geto Xia. "
Mizue Yi didn't finish the rest of the words, but Fushiguro Megumi had guessed most of it, and his eyes immediately turned cold. He was not a stupid person. In other words, Fushiguro Megumi was much smarter than ordinary people.
"It seems that this matter is not as simple as just worrying about the teacher's disappearance, right?"
Most of those senior executives are jealous, so Gojo Satoru is the one who destroyed this place, right?
When Gojo Satoru asked the high-ranking officials in the world of sorcery to meet with Itadori Yuji, he refused countless times. Later, when Takedan tried to meet with Itadori Yuji without Gojo Satoru's knowledge, he accidentally made a mistake and something really went wrong.
They are just cursed spirits. If you can't find Gojo Satoru, you can just arrange for someone else to do it. After all, there aren't so many cursed spirits that require Gojo Satoru to personally remove them. Otherwise, the curse world would have perished long ago. Why bother looking for them?
I'm afraid they want to use them as a raft to force Gojo Satoru out?
Although he didn't really imagine them to be that bad, the expression on Ijichi's face told him clearly that this was the case and he was not wrong.
Fushiguro Megumi was a little angry, and felt that Gojo Satoru was a little aggrieved.
Ichichi quietly defended himself, "No, I didn't think so. The window detected a cursed spirit inside."
"So you just suspect that the teacher is holding a grudge and is unwilling to take action?"
Fushiguro Megumi clenched her fingers tightly, and Kugizaki Norose rubbed Mizue Yi's back. She knew him much better than Fushiguro Megumi and the others, and she had already had some slight guesses before this.
Mizue Yi understood the meaning of the music as soon as he heard the strings, and immediately reached out and held Fushiguro Megumi's hand. His fingers slowly followed his clenched fingers, stretching out his tense strength and silently giving him strength.
Although Gojo Satoru is not a very reliable teacher, and sometimes he is even very childish, doing nothing and leaving everything to the students, but...
He also truly shielded his students from all the storms and rain that might have destroyed them, and cared for them like seedlings.
"This..." Ijichi tried to explain, but the facts were right in front of him.
Indeed, even he did not understand it, but this was the clear reality.
The high-ranking officials in the world of curse arts were not willing to believe in Gojo Satoru. Even though he had saved them from the frenzy countless times and even though he had never failed, they were still deeply wary of him.
The hand held by Itadori Yuji seemed to bring him infinite courage. Fushiguro Megumi took a deep breath and said indifferently, "Get out of the way," without needing Ijichi's explanation.
It's one thing to feel irritated, it's another to deal with the curse.
Knowing that they had compromised and were willing to intervene in the matter, Ijichi hesitated and made way, and Fushiguro Megumi led the other three people and walked over.
Shui Jiangyi was familiar with this place. Even though the road conditions were complicated, he still walked into the courtyard with ease. The last time he came, the yellow roses that were blooming in the courtyard were now completely dead, with their waists bent and a terrible black color.
The place was littered with corpses, countless wounds were visible everywhere, and the traces of the fire were still visible.
The face lying not far away was even a face that Shui Jiangyi was very familiar with.
It was Yingzi's face. At that time, she opened the door with a smile on her face. Her smile looked like a lily, and it seemed as if she was still in front of his eyes. Now, she was lying on the ground with a big hole in her chest. Her face was covered in blood, and her eyes were wide open, as if she was crying tears of blood because she didn't want to die. Shui Jiangyi thought about it, walked up to her and closed her eyes, feeling a little reluctant.
But at this moment, a gust of evil wind blew towards me.
Shui Jiangyi raised his head and met a pair of bloodshot eyes. The cursed spirit with a snake face and a beast body stretched out its scarlet tongue and swept towards him. Shui Jiangyi stretched out his hand to block it unexpectedly, but before he stretched out his hand, Fushiguro Megumi had already summoned the Jade Dog, which bit the cursed spirit's arm and let out an angry roar.
Fushiguro Megumi naturally pulled him behind him and whispered in a low voice: "Execute the fourth tactic."
Beside him, Yoshino Junpei had already summoned the jellyfish, and Kugizaki No Rose had also taken out the hammer and raised her eyebrows at him proudly: "You've been resting in school for so long, you won't be exhausted, right?"
“I always remember it.”
A sense of security swept over him in an instant. Even though the situation was extremely urgent, and even though Shui Jiangyi had already felt a strong pressure from the cursed spirit just after it covered his face, he couldn't help but feel happy, because after such a long time, he could finally fight side by side with them again.
The jade dog bit the curse spirit's arm, the jellyfish hooked the curse spirit's body, Shui Jiangyi leaped up and kicked the curse spirit in the eyes.
The vigorous cursed energy exploded under his feet.
…
Life at the Jujutsu High School is stable and simple.
There are no classes and homework like in a regular school. Except for the danger when on a mission, life in the technical college is very leisurely. Even the wind passing through the technical college is slow, as if time has been slowed down infinitely at this moment, and even the nerves are lazy.
Especially in summer, the hot sunshine and the rows of trees planted in a row at the technical college are a perfect match.
The sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting swaying, mottled shadows on the ground. Cicadas chirped continuously on the trees. Under the tree, Shui Jiangyi was holding a bottle of orange soda, which he drank in one gulp. The cool, sweet and sour carbonated drink made him exhale a breath of fresh air. He lay on the soft grass under the shade of the tree and yawned slowly.
Such old times are perfect for taking a nap.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Before Mizue Yi could close his eyes, he was caught by Fushiguro Megumi and Kugizaki Norose who had rushed over.
Kugizaki Norose was holding a new notebook, biting the pen with a worried look on her face, and cursed in a low voice: "What the hell is this? To be honest, I never wrote this kind of thing in my previous school."
Fushiguro Megumi looked like she was used to it. She lay down on the left side of Shui Jiangyi and watched the clouds in the sky with her eyes half closed. "His requests are always so strange. I guess you will get used to it in the future."
"Huh?" Nagizaki Norose suddenly felt like her life was over. She dropped her pen and hugged her son, saying in pain, "Can I drop out of school now that I regret it?"
Shui Jiangyi was woken up, smiled and sat up on the grass, and said in a serious tone: "I think you can do it, although you will definitely be called by Gojo Sensei to compete with you, right?"
"Well." Fushiguro Megumi was too lazy to persuade him. He had seen this kind of thing many times. Fushiguro Megumi was focused on talking to Yuji Itadori about serious matters. "He said that before the next mission, we need to carefully study a set of cooperation plans, and it will be considered qualified only after he has reviewed and approved it. It is also an assignment and must be completed."
"Eh?" Shui Jiangyi was a little surprised. What kind of strange assignment was this? "Did Mr. Gojo and his classmates do the same thing before?"
Fushiguro Megumi recalled for a second: "I only remember that every time he came back from a mission, he would lie in the infirmary of the senior Ieori and pretend to be dead."
"But." Fushiguro Megumi's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he said, "It should work."
"What effect does it have?" Fushiguro Megumi was the one who knew Gojo Satoru the best among them. Gojo Satoru was also the most famous and strongest in the world of curses. At that time, he had a bit of a second-year syndrome and wanted to become a powerful person. Shui Jiangyi gossiped, "Is it the kind of effect where one plus one is greater than two? The kind that can kick the cursed spirit in an instant?"
Fushiguro Megumi shook her head and said, "No, it's used to..."
He seemed to find it difficult to explain the reason. He paused for a long time before saying, "It's used to connect people."
Kugizaki No Rose sighed deeply: "So, if we have this time, why not go out and have a good meal!"
Fushiguro Megumi didn't respond, but picked up the notebook that fell on the ground and asked seriously, "Design it?"
"don't want!"
"Yuujin is a melee fighter, right? If we were to design it, would we want to highlight Yuujin's strengths?"
"?" Kugizaki No Rose was dissatisfied, "What? Am I not qualified to be a melee player? Let me join in!"
Shui Jiangyi quickly protected his food: "I'll give you the second plan!"
…
The wind gradually blew the past far away, making the stories of the past seem so far away from the present. With a cry of pain from the cursed spirit, Shui Jiangyi's feet dropped and he stepped down heavily. The restraints of Nagizaki No Rose had already nailed it on its body. He watched helplessly as the cursed spirit fell in front of him. Shui Jiangyi fell to the ground with unstable breathing, and acted as if he was breathing rapidly due to intense exercise.
In fact, the pain in his feet had caused his nerves to start twitching.
Suddenly, his shoulders went limp, and Shui Jiangyi turned around to see that Yoshino Junpei's jellyfish shyly stretched out its tentacles and started to act coquettishly on Shui Jiangyi's shoulders, just like a little cat clinging to his shoulders and not wanting to get off.
Shui Jiangyi felt a little itchy and couldn't help but reach out to touch the little jellyfish's head.
Yoshino Junpei glanced away without saying anything, but he also did not force the little jellyfish to come down. Instead, the tips of his ears turned red.
Nagizaki Norosei pulled out a tissue from her waist and wiped the blood off her hands, saying with emotion, "My demeanor is still the same as it was back then."
Shui Jiangyi couldn't help but laugh, but before he could say anything, the system alarm sounded directly in his mind, causing him to have a headache for a moment.
"Yi Yi!!!" the system that rushed back from the main system space screamed, "Oh no! Something is going to happen to Gojo Satoru, hurry up and follow me!"
Shui Jiangyi was caught off guard by the system, and couldn't help but use a little force on the little jellyfish, causing the little jellyfish to hold his fingers and cry. After he recovered, he comforted the little jellyfish while frowning and negotiating with the system: "What do you mean? What happened to Gojo Satoru? Do you know where Gojo Satoru is?"
This series of questions has troubled him for a long time. Where is there a person who can imprison Gojo Satoru and restrict his personal freedom? But if Gojo Satoru is not trapped, why doesn't he show up?
The system sighed loudly upon hearing this: "One by one, nothing happened to Gojo Satoru. He is..."
Play yourself into it.
"After rescuing you that day, Gojo Satoru secretly detained Geto."
"Then what?" Shui Jiangyi's heart was already starting to feel goosebumps, and he seemed to think he already had the answer.
"He made a bet with the cursed spirit in Geto's body, betting on whether... Gojo Satoru could successfully wake up Geto."
Shui Jiangyi clenched his fingers tightly. He was a little bit unbelievable. What did the system mean by this sentence? What did it mean that it could not successfully wake up Xia Yujie? Wasn't Xia Yujie already dead?
Is Gojo Satoru gambling his own life on a game that has a 99% chance of ending in failure?
Fushiguro noticed that something was wrong with him and asked him, "What's wrong? Is your leg uncomfortable?"
The system said: "The specific situation is still unclear, but Gojo Satoru made a huge bet with the cursed spirit. The longer he loses consciousness, the shorter his chance of waking up."
And now, a day and a night have passed since Gojo Satoru fell into a deep sleep.
"Let's hurry up and save him." The system said in panic. Gojo Satoru is the son of the plane of this world. If Gojo Satoru dies, not to mention their mission, this world will be in danger.
Shui Jiangyi exhaled lightly, and he pressed the system firmly into his spiritual consciousness. He smiled at Fushiguro Megumi and said softly, "Megumi."
His tone was intimate and natural, and Fushiguro Megumi responded subconsciously, "I'm here."
"Gojo-sensei has been misunderstood." Shui Jiangyi said, "Senior Ieiri has not sent any message, which means that Gojo-sensei has not been found there either. We need to find the teacher as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to report to the upper echelons of the Jujutsu world."
The best way is to give an explanation to the senior executives before finding Gojo Satoru. The best candidate is...
Fushiguro Hui understood what Shui Jiangyi meant. He glanced at Shui Jiangyi and said, "I'll explain it."
So before they could even catch their breath, the two of them separated again.
Before leaving, Megumi Fushiguro told him several places where Gojo Satoru might appear.
Mizue Yi left Ijichi and the car to Fushiguro Megumi, and followed Yoshino Junpei and Kugizaki No Rose to different places.
Shui Jiangyi knew Gojo Satoru's address, so he randomly picked one and prepared to turn around and leave to make the most of his time. However, he didn't expect that before he left, Kugizaki No Rose grabbed his hand.
Nagizaki No Rose's hands are a little cold.
Shui Jiangyi looked back at Kugizaki No Rose who was holding his hand. The girl's calm eyes were filled with the color of the clear sky. After coming back, Shui Jiangyi and Kugizaki No Rose did not spend much time together. He was always chased by time and could only talk to people sporadically. Unfortunately, before this separation, he was very busy, and so was Kugizaki No Rose.
"Your legs..." Nagizaki No Rose was stopped by herself just as she started to say something. She shook her body vigorously and changed the subject to "Be careful."
This was the second time he was told this today. Shui Jiangyi's heart skipped a beat and he felt sour and soft. The words that had been brewing all the way finally came out of his mouth. He smiled and said to Kugizaki No Rose: "I will come back safely. When I come back, I want to tell you a secret."
"Oh?" Seeing Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro singing the same tune and forming their own little group without her, Kugizaki Norose couldn't help but smile, "Okay, when you come back, I'll listen to you tell me this secret."
"You have to tell me first, not Fushiguro." Kugizaki No Rose said proudly.
"Okay." Shui Jiangyi suppressed the bitterness in his heart and nodded desperately.
After watching Kugizaki No Rose leave helplessly, Shui Jiang Yi turned around and ran towards the technical high school.
The system that had been watching them say goodbye in his mind was a little puzzled: "Why did you lie to them?"
Shui Jiangyi looked calm and said clearly, "I didn't lie to them."
"?" The system was not convinced. This is not called cheating. "You clearly knew that Gojo Satoru was in the dungeon of the high school, why did you separate them?"
"But don't you know that Ijichi has begun to doubt Gojo Satoru because of the mission just now. If you want to be absolutely sure, this is the best way to deal with it. Otherwise, won't there still be trouble after you come back?" Shui Jiangyi said seriously, and the routine words were repeated one by one, making the system feel doubtful.
Seeing that he had fooled the system, Shui Jiangyi sighed.
This was indeed the reason, but in addition to this, he also had a selfish motive, which was to leave himself a way out. However, using his own body organs in exchange for their chance of survival had already made him speechless, and if he was also charged with knowing where Gojo Satoru was but still hiding it from them, he would be convicted of this crime.
Shui Jiangyi thought to himself that he couldn't face that kind of look a second time.
…
Although he had never been to the dungeon in the high school when he was awake, he had already figured out the path through the mirror in his spiritual sea.
At this time, he ran straight towards the dungeon. There was no one around, it was empty. The winter wind blew coldly on his face. Shui Jiangyi ran while thinking about things to relieve the pain in his legs.
He and Ieiri Naoko had met with teachers from the neighboring school before and learned that a social gathering would be held soon.
The seniors should be training for the social gathering now, so we should be able to meet again then. What a coincidence! Before the Jail Gate, Huihui and the others seldom saw each other. They were trained by Gojo Satoru to handle their own tasks. They were familiar with Senior Gojumaki, but after returning from the Jail Gate, they disappeared. I haven’t seen Senior Panda for a long time, and Senior Gojumaki is also...
Shui Jiangyi pushed open the door of the dungeon.
Walking slowly along the dark path, Shui saw burning candles after taking only two steps. The candle wax had been hanging down for a long time, dripping along the wall all the way to the steps, like tears left by the crying candles. Shui suggested following the traces and walking towards the destination.
As expected, Gojo Satoru was found inside.
Xia Youjie, whom he had just met, was handcuffed to the wall, even worse than he was then. Thinking of what happened when he just woke up from the Yumenjiang incident, Shui Jiangyi actually laughed out loud.
The system felt that after returning to the main system, it could no longer see through Jiang Yi's every move. Yi Yi seemed to have changed a little.
The system wondered: Did I miss something?
But at this moment, all of this was not a big deal. The majestic dance was the most important thing. Before Shui Jiangyi opened his mouth to urge him, he walked to the side of Gojo Satoru, squatted down, and reached out to feel Gojo Satoru's breath.
Fortunately, Gojo Satoru's breathing was steady and his complexion was relatively good, as if he was just asleep.
Shui Jiangyi felt relieved and sat down on the ground with his legs crossed. The ground was slippery and there was some liquid on it. But Shui Jiangyi was in no mood to pursue the matter because his brain was lacking oxygen due to the pain in his legs. After he sat down, the pain was finally relieved. He looked at Gojo Satoru's sleeping face and asked the system, "Have you ever encountered a special case like this before?"
The system said in embarrassment: "Yi Yi, to be honest, not only is there no such exception, but things like the collapse of the world line are also unprecedented."
Shui Jiangyi whistled: "Good fellow, I have to feel honored, right? To be the first in your history?"
The system smiled awkwardly but didn't say anything. Shui Jiangyi frowned and said, "But what can we do? I ran over here despite the pain, just to watch Gojo Satoru protect him?"
"Wait! Let me check!" The system thought for a moment, then took out the thick system instructions book from the very beginning from its mind and flipped through it with a crackling sound.
Shui Jiangyi just sat there and looked at him, and then at Gojo Satoru. The sleeping Gojo Satoru did not look like he was struggling on the brink of death. On the contrary, his expression was very stable, with his eyes closed, like a sleeping princess.
Shui Jiangyi has always been like a weak cat in front of Gojo Satoru. This time, time and space suddenly changed, and their identities switched. Gojo Satoru became the one who needed him to save. Shui Jiangyi actually felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
It was as if a proud fate had lowered its head. Inexplicably, Shui Jiangyi felt a strange emotion.
"Got it!" the system shouted, and it picked up the book and moved it in front of Shui Jiangyi.
Article 127 of Star Law: When the target of the mission falls into a deep sleep, you can use your powerful mental force to forcibly invade his sea of consciousness.
Shui Jiangyi looked at this and was silent for a while: "You or me? Do we have such strong mental power?"
If there was, he wouldn't be beaten up now.
The system could not help but remain silent for a while, and he carefully suggested: "Why don't we ask for advice..."
Two sides of Sukuna?
As an absolutely powerful man who has traveled back and forth with Yuji Itadori for countless rounds, the system finally understands why Ryomen Sukuna can easily catch him without any effort.
It's because of such long wandering that his edges have been smoothed out. If he still had the same personality as when he first met Yuji Itadori's Two-sided Sukuna, it would have been very difficult for him to become Gojo Satoru.
Shui Jiangyi immediately understood the system's implication, and he felt a little confused.
It's possible for Ryoumen Sukuna, but he hasn't forgotten the contract between Ryoumen Sukuna and Geto. Now that he can finally confirm that Ryoumen Sukuna won't harm him, can he be sure that Ryoumen Sukuna won't attack Gojo Satoru?
Gojo Satoru is the strongest human being, and any cursed spirit would want to step on him when they see him.
There is no cursed spirit who doesn't hope that Gojo Satoru will be successful.
"Well, you're right." Ryoumen Sukuna interrupted, "But I don't want to."
"You!" Shui Jiangyi was caught saying bad things behind someone's back. His face was red, and he almost had his balls boiled. He covered his face and said, "How could you secretly listen to my heartbeat from behind?"
"Why can't I?" Ryoumen Sukuna said in a bad mood, "Not only can I listen to you now, I can also torture you when you are in pain. Have you forgotten that you cried in front of me not long ago?"
"What? It's you!" Mizue Yi had just been caught and now he was badly beaten again. He didn't have time to confront Ryomen Sukuna.
He was forcibly pulled into Ryomen Sukuna's spiritual world. His feet felt an excruciating pain. Mizue Yi's legs went limp and he fell on Ryomen Sukuna.
His body felt as cold as a piece of ice. Shui Jiangyi felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to move away, but was forcibly picked up by Ryomen Sukuna and placed on the throne where Ryomen Sukuna often sat.
Sitting in such a high position, Shui Jiangyi didn't dare to look at what was under his feet. Of course, he didn't have time to look.
Because he was forced to sit on the throne by Ryomen Sukuna and was unable to move, Mizue Yi wanted to speak.
He grabbed my chin and lifted me up.
"What?"
"Is it only for such trivial matters that you would think of asking me for help?" Ryoumen Sukuna met his eyes and said in a calm tone.
"I……"
Shui Jiangyi didn't know why Ryoumen Sukuna asked this. Wouldn't it be a good thing not to disturb him?
But Ryoumen Sukuna's tone was too coercive, and he could not help but glance over and stammered, "I was going to ask you, but before asking you, I just want to think about it for a while."
"How do you think?" Ryoumen Sukuna seemed to be interested in this matter and continued to ask.
Of course I don’t know!
Because I never thought about looking for Ryomen Sukuna!
Shui Jiangyi gave up thinking and decided not to answer him, and went straight to the point: "So, if I ask you, will you help me?"
"No." Ryoumen Sukuna said mercilessly, "I'm not a fool to risk my life to save a human being."
"Then, is there any way? Can I go?" Shui Jiangyi asked cautiously. He knew that he was still a child. Although he had traveled through many things, his mental strength was definitely not that strong.
But he didn't expect that Ryoumen Sukuna glanced at him and nodded: "You can."
"Really?" Shui Jiangyi widened his eyes. Has his mental power become so strong?
"It's not that strong." Ryoumen Sukuna said lightly, "But you can use not only your spirit, but also Yuji Itadori's spiritual power."
"I..." Shui Jiangyi felt that he had nothing to say at this moment.
First, he was shocked by Ryomen Sukuna's words that he had pretended to install his system, and then he was exposed by Ryomen Sukuna.
"...How to use it." Mizue Yi no longer wanted to care about why Ryoumen Sukuna knew so much about this matter. Mizue Yi asked silently, "I have already accepted all of Itadori Yuji's memories. There are not many left."
Ryoumen Sukuna smiled. His smile was always sarcastic, but this time it was tolerant. He said, "No."
"No?" Another reversal, Shui Jiangyi couldn't help but frown, "What do you mean?"
"How do you think a 15-year-old boy like Itadori Yuji has such a strong wish that is enough to make the whole world revolve around him?"
Shui Jiangyi had never really thought about this question before: "Because his friends all seem to be miserable?"
"Because every ending has been played out in front of him more than once."
Every word of Ryomen Sukuna's words was like a heavy hammer hanging on Shui Jiangyi's spirit.
As Ryomen Sukuna spoke, a memory that had never existed before suddenly popped up in Shui Jiangyi's mind.
That was the end of the memories he had ever received.
Having lost all the people close to him, Yuji Itadori woke up in a daze.
He found himself back in the past, but before he could wake up, he discovered that the place he had returned to was...
It is the death of grandpa.
The sky was covered with white, accompanied by the beeping sound of critically ill machines. Yuji Itadori's grandfather was covered with a white cover and pushed to the morgue.
As soon as Yuji opened his eyes, he witnessed the death of his grandfather. After silently dealing with his grandfather's body, he realized that this day was the day he met Megumi Fushiguro. He hurried to school.
The fishy night wind blew past him, and he didn't even have time to wipe the tears from his cheeks.
The light flickered, and the light bulb hanging from the ceiling of the classroom was swung down by the cursed spirit's arm. The broken bulb smashed to the ground, shattering into glass shards all over the floor, reflecting the cruel scene.
In front of him, Fushiguro Megumi was pierced through the chest by the cursed spirit.
The black-haired boy coughed up blood and closed his eyes.
Yuji Itadori rushed forward.
die.
…
Next time, Yuji Itadori witnessed his grandfather's death. He didn't dare to stay, so he dropped his bag and ran to school.
Before his seniors could remove the seal on Ryomen Sukuna's finger, he snatched Ryomen Sukuna's finger and ran outside the academy, where he happened to run into Fushiguro Megumi who came to remove the cursed spirit. Before he could hug Fushiguro Megumi who was not dead yet, he heard a sharp cry coming from not far away.
When Yuji Itadori turned around, he saw his senior being swallowed by the cursed spirit's enlarged mouth.
The cursed spirit smiled at him, with traces of flesh and blood still remaining on its teeth.
Fushiguro Megumi stepped forward angrily, and Yuji Itadori watched Fushiguro Megumi fall behind with disdainful eyes. He closed his eyes and swallowed Ryomen Sukuna's finger.
The power surging from within his body allowed him to kill the cursed spirit, but Ryomen Sukuna took over Yuji Itadori's body.
He stretched out his hand and wanted to kill Fushiguro Megumi. Although Yuji Itadori screamed wildly inside his body, he did not stop Ryomen Sukuna.
Fortunately, Gojo Satoru arrived in time and grabbed Ryomen Sukuna's wrist. With a smile on his face, Gojo Satoru said lightly, "Don't bully my students in front of me."
Seeing the familiar face of Gojo Satoru, Yuji Itadori was so sad that he almost shed tears. He opened his mouth to call Gojo teacher, but involuntarily reached out and fought with Gojo Satoru.
Halfway through the fight, Gojo Satoru lost.
Yuji Itadori, dead.
…
Start over.
In front of Megumi Fushiguro, Yuji Itadori tried his best to suppress Ryomen Sukuna, and followed Gojo Satoru to the high school, where he became classmates with Megumi Fushiguro and Kugizaki No Rose.
When he received the assignment to the juvenile detention center, he left Gojo Satoru's phone number.
Before arriving at the juvenile detention center, they called Gojo Satoru and asked him for help, and they encountered a special-grade cursed spirit.
Unfortunately, Gojo Satoru arrived too late.
In order to wait for Gojo Satoru's arrival, Yuji Itadori refused to make a deal with Ryomen Sukuna.
After the cursed spirit killed No Rose Kugizaki, he stood in front of Megumi Fushiguro.
In his mind, Ryomen Sukuna laughed at his inflexibility and his restlessness.
Yuji Itadori, dead.
…
Start over.
Before entering the juvenile detention center, Yuji Itadori signed a contract with Ryomen Sukuna.
In the juvenile detention center, after successfully letting Fushiguro Megumi and Kugizaki No Rose escape, he teamed up with Ryomen Sukuna to kill the cursed spirit.
Yuji Itadori, who came out alive, was considered by the high-ranking officials of the curse world to be in cahoots with Ryomen Sukuna, and they ordered Gojo Satoru to kill Yuji Itadori.
Yuji Itadori was hidden in the basement by Gojo Satoru and was released only when the exchange meeting was held.
On the way to track down the cursed spirit, he met Yoshino Junpei.
Junpei Yoshino invited him back to his home. In order to avoid tragedy, Yuji Itadori refused the proposal of going with Kento Nanami and stayed at Junpei Yoshino's home.
That night, the real person sneaked in.
Yoshino Junpei and his family died.
When Yuji Itadori opened the door, he had just finished taking a shower and wanted to have a long talk with Junpei Yoshino, but what he saw was a pool of blood.
A seductive smile with a real person.
"It turns out that there is still one fish that has slipped through the net."
…
Knowing the future, Yuji Itadori tried again and again to change that tragic future, but was forced to move towards a familiar future after dying again and again.
No matter how hard he tried, his friends would always die in front of him.
The node of this story survives, but is forced to die at the node of the next story.
Time and again, as if it was an eternal curse, it followed him, making him a hero respected by everyone again and again. After becoming the focus of everyone's attention, he would return to the past again and again to meet his friends and his teachers.
Once again, he watched Gojo Satoru being sealed in the Hell Gate and Itadori Yuji spit out blood on the battlefield.
He looked at the cursed spirit in front of him and the bleeding ground beneath his feet, and for the first time began to wonder, was there really any meaning to his countless trips back to the past?
What can he change?
What he can do is not just to watch his friends die again and again, experience the separation of life and death again and again, be fooled by fate again and again, be thrown into the mud again and again, and return to the beginning of fate again and again.
