Chapter 170 Players are grilling

170.

You removed the door and sat in the empty, dusty lobby, thinking:

Good news, the system says your store is still there, all store functions are normal, and you can even sign up to participate in the National Food Contest under the name of "Iron T Fire Fighter".

Bad news, the system map does not recognize this place as your store, saying that this is the territory of the Panxing Sect, and you should leave. There is a store here, guess who is not invited.gif

So the store function does work, but you can't use it in the store.

Oops, the store has really become Schrödinger's store... huh? This description is so familiar, has anyone ever become Schrödinger's living person before...

Oh, it's Xiaojie. Oh, you suddenly remembered that you asked Fushiguro Shige to help look after the store before you left? Where are the NPCs?

You click on the clerk list and find that Ye Dou is offline, and all other data are question marks. Well, the person is still alive, but there is no way to recall him.

Fushiguro Shiji's data is normal, but he is not in Tokyo at the moment, and you can't call him back.

Not in Tokyo... Where else could he go if not in Tokyo? His wife and children are clearly still in Tokyo. Could this guy have lost money in horse racing and quietly sold your store and fled?

When you think of this possibility, you start to feel murderous.

But how do you remember that the registration for the first round of the National Food Contest was ten years later? Did you speedrun the previous rounds in the second round, so the National Contest was also opened earlier?

Not sure, just take a look at the game time: July 2018.

It doesn't seem like too long ago. You click on the system log and the last record shows the time of November 2008.

Haha, it really didn’t take too long, a 0 turned into a 1. It’s normal for this kind of 01 event to occur in the code world... What the hell!

How come the second round is the same as the first round, and it accidentally jumped to ten years later? Fortunately, you gave Night Fighter twenty years of food before you left, otherwise what would happen if the cheap employees were gone again... Never mind, this is not important.

The important thing is that the registration for this week's National Food Contest has been completed. You think sadly that you don't want to do another three weeks.

But think about it from another perspective, aren't you immediately avoiding ten years of detours and getting to the branch line in one go?

If there are too many bugs like this, it will greatly affect the gaming experience - you can’t even imagine what the plants planted in the Zen temple look like now.

You quickly sent a message to the administrator 123: There is a bug, compensation for amnesia, five stars for the game, everything else is my fault.

An automatic reply popped up quickly: Dear, the administrator is temporarily offline. If you have any questions, please leave a message after "Mami Mami Hong".

It's not like the administrators are on holiday for the Spring Festival in advance, right? Damn it, they are not allowed to take a holiday, come back and fix the bug for you as soon as possible! Be careful or Noah's Ark will deduct their wages!

The kitchen in the store is long gone. You walk around the store and find that there are 0 items to pick up. Tsk, didn't they say this place is the territory of the Zhuzi Sect? Why is there nothing to pick up?

You took out your original cart from your backpack and sighed. Well, after ten years of hard work, you are still the owner of a cart that fights against the urban management.

The store is just where the cart is placed, and Chef Ruga can just stand back and start cooking!

Before reopening the store——

You take out your bug net, open the map, and begin searching for the location of the cursed spirit.

"Frey, let's go catch the cursed spirit together."

*

"The five inmates are still stranded in the building with the cursed fetus." Ijichi Kiyoshi pushed his glasses up and looked at the first-year students of the technical high school. "They need to be treated before the cursed fetus hatches. If it can completely transform into a perverted type, it is very likely to hatch a special-grade cursed spirit."

The expressions of Fushiguro Megumi and Kugizaki No Rose became solemn.

"Oh, I see." Yuji Itadori showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, then he looked at Kiyotaka Ijichi, touched the back of his head and asked bluntly, "So what is the special grade? I still don't understand."

The other three explained to him the classification of cursed spirits. Under the premise that ordinary weapons can cause damage to cursed spirits, cluster bombs are needed to destroy special cursed spirits.

"Eh——" Yuji Itadori's eyes widened, "Isn't that terrible?"

"We should have sent sorcerers of the same level as the cursed spirits, but this line of work is already understaffed, so it's normal to encounter missions that are beyond our capabilities." Ijichi Kiyotaka paused, "Your mission is only to rescue the survivors, not to fight against the special-class ones. If you encounter a special-class one..."

"Escape, or die."

Yuji Itadori, who is not yet accustomed to the world of curses, is not clear about what the special-grade existence is, but he saw the sadness and despair of the survivor guardian who came to meet him after hearing Ijichi's lies.

"Fushiguro, Kugizaki." He looked at his companions with a determined look, "We must rescue them!"

Kugizaki Norose let out a breath: "That was when..."

“Rustle…rustle…”

There was a strange noise coming from the bushes nearby.

What happened? Could it be that the cursed fetus has already hatched and escaped from inside? A drop of cold sweat slid down Ichichi's forehead. Didn't the "window" confirm that the cursed fetus was still in the building and seal off the surroundings?

If the "window" gave false information... Ijichi glanced at the ordinary people and the first-year students behind him, and his brain started working quickly, trying to find a way to get them out of here.

While the others were still standing there in shock and uncertainty, only Yuji Itadori noticed something and walked straight towards the bushes: "Arnold..."

"Excuse me, are you in any trouble?"

You are grilling the fly heads you caught earlier, and are still deciding whether to sprinkle chili or cumin on them, when you suddenly hear an unfamiliar voice coming from behind you.

"Ah? Trouble? Me?"

When you just want to turn around to see where the NPC is, you find that because you have been crouching for too long, a paralysis debuff has been placed under your character's health bar. Once you move, you will fall forward uncontrollably.

In short, your legs are numb.

I told you long ago that games don’t need to pursue realism in places like this!

Norose Kugizaki heard a series of clanging sounds, which seemed to be the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and came over curiously: "Hey, Yuji, what are you doing?"

When she saw you falling to the ground, she took a few steps back in horror, grabbed Fushiguro Megumi's arm, and looked at Itadori Yuji in disbelief: "Oh no, Fushiguro, Itadori actually created a headless corpse in such a short time!"

"Eh? Eh?" Yuji Itadori was a little at a loss, "Wait, this lady is not a corpse... Fushiguro, Kugizaki, don't retreat further and further!"

"Yes, yes, this one..."

After taking a sip of the potion that removed the paralysis, you got up from the ground again, looked at the top of the pink-haired boy's head, and called out his name naturally.

"Yuji Itadori is right, my aunt is not dead yet."

"Huh? Do you know me?" Yuji Itadori was a little confused. "Have we met somewhere before?"

"We just met." You answered calmly, "Now he knows you're a sorcerer, so..." You glanced at the others warily, "Are you here to snatch the curse spirit from me?"

No one answered.

At this moment, you noticed that the boy with a black sea urchin head next to you was staring at you in surprise.

Noticing your gaze, he subconsciously murmured, "Boss...?"

Who is this? Do you know him? This sea urchin head looks familiar... You look at the name on his head and suddenly realize: it's Fushiguro Megumi, the good son of Fushiguro Shinobu!

"Xiaohui, you've grown up in the blink of an eye." You approached her enthusiastically, grabbed her hand and began to shake it up and down, "Do you still remember auntie? You held her in your arms when she was little."

"…When I was a kid, you held me in your arms." Fushiguro tried to pull his hand back, but failed. He sighed, "Long time no see, boss."

Wait a minute, I was just shocked by the familiar two-meter three-can, and now I think... Is the boss not wearing a helmet? Fushiguro Megumi raised his head and tried to see your face that had been hidden for many years.

"Ti...Tiger, am I seeing things?" Kugizaki Norose opened her mouth in surprise, "White...white hair...blue...blue eyes, although he doesn't look like him at all...but..."

"Yes, Kushizaki, you are not mistaken." Yuji Itadori showed a solemn expression. He looked at Kushizaki Norose and nodded, "It is the same appearance as Gojo teacher."

"Could it be that she is..." Kugizaki Norose suddenly had an idea, "Gojo-sensei's..."

Nagizaki No Rose: "Sister."

Knotweed Hisahito: "Sister."

They looked at each other for a moment and said at the same time: "Huh?"

Ijichi was already shocked by the sudden change. Even though he knew that being an assistant supervisor was not easy, he never thought that one day he would be involved in the family affairs of the Susan family.

What to do? Should he resign after knowing too much?

"you……"

Fushiguro Megumi suddenly felt a little tired. He felt even more tired when he thought about how many dirty things would happen if the high-ranking officials of the curse technique knew your appearance. Not to mention——

"None of this matters." You bent down, smiled brilliantly, held Fushiguro Megumi's shoulders tightly with both hands, and continued in a terrifying tone, "Where's your father? Why is the store I asked him to look after gone?"

Megumi Fushiguro didn't dare to speak and just remained silent.

"He..." Fushiguro Megumi looked away guiltily, "He lost money betting on horses and mortgaged his shop to the leader of the Bandei Cult..."

As a son, although he didn't like Fushiguro, he still tried to say a few good words for him: "He also takes on missions to make money, but..."

"only?"

"It's just that the speed of making money is not as fast as the soaring speed of house prices." Fushiguro Keito paused, "And the interest of the Pansei Sect keeps increasing..."

In retrospect, it was very likely that Fushiguro Shinjiro, who was arranged by the Bandei Cult, was unhappy about the loss of money, but he didn't dare to say anything - after all, he really mortgaged his house.

Megumi Fushiguro also knew that this person had sneaked into the room of the leader of the Pansei Cult in the middle of the night and tried to "get" the title deed and the IOU back, but failed.

"Okay." You let go of Fushiguro Megumi and took a step back. "How about this, you tell me where the beads are?"

You pulled out the heavy sword and smiled: "Auntie, go and have a chat with them."

"...Kayu Kaguru." Fushiguro Megumi, who didn't really want to get involved in this mess, told you the current situation directly, "The current leader of the Bandei Cult is Kaguru Kaguru, and the boss's shop is in his hands. At the same time..."

"He, like Gojo Satoru, is a teacher at a technical college."

Half of the chaos in the world of curse was caused by these two people, but Megumi Fushiguro estimated that even if you knew that the world of curse was in chaos, you would just happily drink it while it was hot.

He was silent for a while, and finally spoke:

"Also, he is currently the number one person in Japan who popularizes the law, and he actively fights against all kinds of human trafficking cases. He is deeply loved by the general public, and he is also the sorcerer who has the closest connection with the police."

"Because he wants to find you, the boss."

You stood there, trying to successfully buffer your CPU-blasted brain: So... Geto Xiayou thinks you were kidnapped?

You gasp. You try so hard to be abstract, but you can't win against the purely abstract NPC.

"Fushiguro, do you know this...senior?" After you finished talking, Yuji Itadori looked at his friend with a little curiosity, "Is she Gojo-sensei's sister?"

"Sister?" Fushiguro Megumi's expression became a little strange, "She is Gojo-sensei's..."

He opened his mouth and didn't know how to describe it, boss? Elders? Or is it the next head of the Gojo family who was unilaterally designated by Teacher Gojo?

The boss doesn't seem to know about this yet? Fushiguro Megumi thought hesitantly, should I tell her now?

"Yes, I am Gojo Satoru's—" You interrupted Fushiguro Megumi and said righteously, "The mistress of the eldest son of the grandfather of the young mother of my second uncle's third uncle's husband, Gojo-go!"

When you go out, you give yourself an identity. There is no need to envy others. As long as you are brave enough, you can be anyone.

Yuji Itadori and Norose Kugizaki, who were so confused by you, only remembered your name: Gojo-go.

Megumi Fushiguro knew that this was a completely made-up pseudonym: …

He had no intention of exposing you. After all, the scene of Fushiguro being beaten by you and Frey was still vivid in his mind.

"Let's not talk about it anymore. Have you eaten? If not, how about some barbecue made by aunt?" You enthusiastically took out the fly head you just grilled, "Want to try it? The taste is a bit like chili peppers... Oh, you haven't eaten it, right? Have you eaten grilled giant green worms? It's quite similar to that... I mean the texture."

Netizens from the neighboring countries have sent you many special delicacies, such as leeches, scorpions, and silkworm pupae... They said that they would be crispy if fried. But you can't cook, so you left it all to Morobushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei to handle.

Later, your refrigerator is full again, and they tell you to eat something good. If you need food, go to them instead of eating insects. Even though you have to endure the discomfort, you will know that it is delicious after taking a bite.

But this is a bit too advanced for the conservative Japanese.

For others who hear your description, it may be a bit too far-fetched - who would eat a cursed spirit?!

However, Yuji Itadori, who had eaten Ryomen Sukuna's fingers raw, pinched a fly head from your hand and asked curiously, "Can you really eat it? I've only eaten dry fingers."

"You can eat it." You put the fly head into his mouth with your backhand. "Don't underestimate it because it's small. It's food with repellent properties."

Concentration is the essence.

To prevent the NPC from vomiting, you covered his mouth tightly.

"See." You smiled kindly, "Didn't you eat it?"

“Hmm…Hmm!”

After chewing a few bites, Yuji Itadori widened his eyes in surprise, because his mouth was full of roasted fly heads. He turned around and danced with his hands to show his companions how delicious the dish was.

"Wow..." Nagizaki No Rose showed a disgusted expression, "You are so brave to eat it..."

“Edible.”

Megumi Fushiguro didn't react much, as he had seen it many times before. The first time he was stuffed with cursed spirit rice, he cried and shouted that it was delicious.

I can accept it physically, but psychologically I just want to vomit.

After swallowing all the fly heads, Yuji Itadori was about to say something: "Yue——"

He spat out a piece of finger.

[You have obtained a clue to SSS-grade ingredients]

you:?

What kind of cursed spirit material has to do with fingers? Do you have to collect seven weird-looking fingers to summon SSS-level ingredients?

Yuji Itadori opened his mouth: "That..." Why did he spit out Ryomen Sukuna's finger?

"Stop making noise."

You interrupted Yuji Itadori's questioning, took out the grill, skillfully added charcoal to the fire, put the skewers on, turned the half-toasted butter over, and sprinkled a handful of sesame seeds and cumin on it.

"Auntie is grilling."

What's there to ask? This finger was judged as the debuff itself and was dispersed by the fly head.

After seeking help in vain, Yuji Itadori looked at Norose Kugizaki and Megumi Fushiguro blankly and helplessly: "Fushiguro, Kugizaki..."

"I think I vomited up Ryomen Sukuna."

Should he pick it up and eat it again?
