Chapter 64 Theoretically
No one cared about the confusion and anger of the No. 1 high-dimensional creature at this moment. He could only comfort himself angrily that at least he didn't have to worry about Fushiguro Megumi's escape being too obvious. The only thing he needed to worry about was continuing to maintain the barrier.
It's a good thing when two worries become one.
......
Elsewhere, Yuji Itadori escorted Nobara Kugisaki to the relatively safe entrance of the crematorium, then turned and ran back: "Kugisaki, quickly go find the teacher. I'll go back and save Fushiguro!"
Kugisaki Nobara: "Are you crazy? That level might not be... no, it's definitely special grade!"
Yuji Itadori didn't know what level that cursed spirit was, but he knew that this guy was definitely not comparable to the guys he had seen in school before. At that time, those guys could kill himself and Fushiguro, but this bastard now was not someone that Megumi Fushiguro, whose cursed power was almost gone, could deal with.
Special grade cursed spirit, Yuji Itadori Yuji remembered this level because the Ryomen Sukuna in his body was also rated as special grade, even though it was only the power of a finger.
He also remembered what Kugisaki Nobara had said yesterday when she was giving him a basic knowledge of spells: only special-grade spellcasters can exorcise special-grade cursed spirits, and there are only four spellcasters in the contemporary world who possess special-grade strength.
And Miss Ghost...is not among these four.
When Sukuna came out, Gojo Sensei tried so hard to pull Sukuna away from Miss Ghost. Miss Ghost definitely couldn't deal with Sukuna alone.
Similarly, Oni-kun will definitely not be able to defeat this special-grade cursed spirit, and she will be in danger when Sukuna comes out.
Yuji Itadori thought as a matter of course.
So he had to go to the center of the battlefield and let Sukuna and that special-grade cursed spirit kill each other, giving others enough time to escape!
"Sukuna, if you don't help me later you will die too!"
Ryoumen Sukuna opened his mouth at Itadori Yuji's face and said, "I don't care. I'm not the dominant consciousness in this body anyway. Even if the 'me' inside you dies, I still have my other 18 fingers outside to use. When I get out, the first person I'm going to kill is that black-haired brat you went to save, and then that damn black-haired woman outside."
......
Damn it, one or two of them left her alone to show off, she will definitely scold them harshly when she gets back!
Kugisaki Nobara rushed out of the barrier, clutching the four Sukuna fingers in her hand. For the first time, she found herself so happy to see her teacher: "There is a special-grade cursed spirit in Gojo-sensei! Hurry and save Itadori and Fushiguro!"
Gojo Satoru held onto Nobara Kugizaki with one hand and pressed the barrier with the other, but his hand was still bounced away.
Kugisaki Nobara also noticed this anomaly and was dumbfounded: "Why is this account excluding Gojo-sensei... This isn't how the Auxiliary Inspector's mission account should be used!"
how so.
Our companions were only one step away from being rescued, why?
Cheng Xiaoyu stepped forward and inspected the barrier again. "That auxiliary inspector was a curse master in disguise. He tried to attack me. Now, this [tent] is closed until the 'expectation is completed.' Only exits are allowed."
In a desperate situation, given hope but quickly deprived of it, Nobara Kugisaki's voice trembled: "Why? We are just first-year students. Who is targeting us... No, is it Yuji or Fushiguro?"
Gojo Satoru said solemnly, "The Sukuna vessel and the heir to the Zenin family's ancestral technique are an eyesore to many people, but don't worry, they won't succeed."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Sukuna, point it at me. I want to get rid of it."
Seeing that Gojo Satoru had no objection, Kugisaki Nobara handed it over and added, "But when Sukuna comes out later, he will definitely come to you first. He just snatched a finger from Itadori and ate it. Sukuna must have become stronger now."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "It's okay, I'll throw Su Nuo's finger into the nearest septic tank later. I want to see if Su Nuo still has the courage to eat it after seeing this."
Kugisaki Nobara; “….”
Gojo Satoru: "......"
What a sinister and vicious trick!
Finally, it was Gojo Satoru who said, "Let's leave it. After all, it's Yuji's body. What if it was exchanged back the moment Sukuna swallowed it?"
This kid, Itadori, is already very unlucky, so let him go.
"That's true." Cheng Xiaoyu fished out a crystal ball from the shadow behind him. "Although we can't get in now, thanks to Kugisaki, the barrier is not so tight now. We can do something else."
......
Yuji Itadori feels very lucky.
When he arrived at the scene, although Megumi Fushiguro had many wounds on her body, she was still alive.
Although Yuji Itadori didn't know why the cursed spirit was so angry when it saw him throwing stones at it, he successfully absorbed the hatred of the special-grade cursed spirit into himself, allowing Megumi Fushiguro to escape the battle.
It hurts that his right hand was chopped off, and it hurts that his stomach was pierced by bones, but he has to grit his teeth and drive the threat away, and most importantly... he doesn't want to die!
It was not until his calf was cut off by the cursed attack that Yuji Itadori was forced to stop running.
"Hehe!" The newly born special-grade cursed spirit enjoyed the pain of its prey and walked over slowly on purpose, intending to end this cruel cat-and-mouse game.
At this time, the prey that had been fleeing in panic stopped screaming and even stood up.
The newborn curse spirit's brain was not very smart, but it still felt strange.
The calf of this prey should have been chopped off just now, but how come the calf looks like it's still growing well and only the trouser leg is damaged, and it can even stand up again?
"Tsk, that brat actually dared to call me out to do his bidding."
Why doesn't the prey run away or cry out in pain after standing up, but instead curses itself?
"Oh... those four fingers are all outside." When Ryoumen Sukuna shifted his gaze to the still confused special-grade cursed spirit, he suddenly had an idea and gave the cursed spirit an order, "Hey, come out with me."
Sukuna actually wanted to go after Megumi Fushiguro and Cheng Xiaoyu, but based on Yuji Itadori's personality, he would definitely be forced to go back before he could catch up.
But if he takes this special cursed spirit with him to hunt down Yuji Itadori's companions, it will be too late even if Yuji Itadori wants to forcibly change back to his body.
That kid will definitely collapse like this. It’s really funny to think about that scene.
Sukuna's attitude of not treating himself as an outsider at all irritated the cursed spirit. Feeling that he was being looked down upon, the special-grade cursed spirit roared and released the strongest cursed power attack towards the unclear situation.
Ryoumen Sukuna subconsciously repaired his right hand and slapped it to disperse the cursed spirit's attack wave. Then he realized, "Oh no, I subconsciously repaired this brat's right hand. You don't want to go out with me? Oh, that's right. A cursed spirit of your level can't leave the place where you were born, so you're useless."
This is not prey.
By the time he realized this, the crematorium curse spirit had already been slapped into the ground.
The real hunter, wearing the skin of the prey, was strolling beside it, admiring its miserable plight. "Is that all you can do? No, I just want to have some fun. Try harder."
......
When Fushiguro Megumi rushed out of the crematorium, she heard the sound of a tent breaking. She turned around and saw Gojo Satoru and Kugisaki Nobara surrounding Cheng Xiaoyu and looking at a floating crystal ball.
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Hui is out? Hiss - this injury is not light. Come here, I will treat your wounds, and then take a look at this to calm down."
Fushiguro Megumi said excitedly: "It's already this time and you are still deserting here?! Yuji's life is in danger now!"
Gojo Satoru patted Fushiguro Megumi's shoulder and said, "If Itadori was in danger, I would have rushed in when the barrier was broken. But the person inside now is not Itadori Yuji, but Ryomen Sukuna."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "And Ryoumen Sukuna is beating the special-grade cursed spirit that hurt you like this. The one we're going in to save now is not Yuji, but that damn special-grade cursed spirit."
Fushiguro Megumi was furious: "I didn't say it now, why didn't you go in before? Itadori and I almost died in there, Kugisaki must have told you what was going on inside!"
Kugisaki Nobara explained, "Because the assistant inspector was a curse-caster in disguise, he tried to attack and kill Miss Ghost Shadow the moment we entered. He had designed the [tent] so that you could only exit but not enter, and it could only be broken from the inside. The impact caused by my exit only allowed Miss Ghost Shadow to use her crystal ball to peek inside, and it wasn't until you came out just now that it was completely broken. It's not that Gojo-sensei and Miss Ghost Shadow didn't want to go in, it's that they couldn't."
"...I'm sorry, I misunderstood." After hearing these words, Fushiguro Megumi finally calmed down, and then he fell into a new confusion, "Then...what should I do now?"
Nobara Kugisaki pointed her thumb at the floating crystal ball, and when Megumi Fushiguro walked in, she saw that Ryomen Sukuna's thirty-six methods of torturing the cursed spirits were being performed inside.
It has to be said that Ryoumen Sukuna is really good at torturing cursed spirits. Megumi Fushiguro looked at the enemy who had just been showing off and playing a hunting game with herself and her teammates, and now was being teased and beaten by Ryoumen Sukuna. She had to admit that this was really satisfying, and she even wanted to cheer for Sukuna.
It is said that evildoers will be punished by evildoers.
Cheng Xiaoyu put his hand on Fushiguro Megumi's head, and under the treatment of the horse talisman, the wounds on his body healed instantly. Except for the fact that the curse power had not yet recovered, Fushiguro Megumi no longer felt any physical discomfort.
......etc.
Megumi Fushiguro suddenly had an idea.
"Um... Miss Onikage," Fushiguro Megumi said hesitantly in a low voice, "I have some personal questions to ask you, which may be a little offensive. It's about... your identity or something like that."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Just tell me, I'll answer if I can. You weren't this shy when you talked to me as a kid."
Megumi Fushiguro: "You are a demon physically, right?"
Kugisaki Nobara: "I didn't expect you to joke, Fushiguro..."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Yes, this appearance now is just my human mimicry magic."
Nobara Kugisaki: Huh?
Kugisaki Nobara silently asked Gojo Satoru with her eyes and body movements: Is this true?
Gojo Satoru gave a thumbs up and nodded: Really.
Kugisaki Nobara: ???
Megumi Fushiguro: "What kind of demon is it? The kind that eats souls and people? I mean physically."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "I can only say that it's edible, but not necessary to eat it, so please don't use stereotypes to judge my personal taste."
Fushiguro Megumi: "Then theoretically... you can also eat Sukuna's finger? After all, Sukuna's finger contains a fragment of Sukuna's soul."
Everyone turned their eyes to Cheng Xiaoyu: .....This seems to make sense in theory!
"From a theoretical and physiological perspective, it is indeed possible. In fact, the sinful souls and curses that have not dissipated for thousands of years can be considered a tonic for most of my people."
But Cheng Xiaoyu showed a look of disgust.
"But that's really not my cup of tea! Think about it, this bacon, which has been air-dried for a thousand years, has a soul like a particularly strong-flavored thousand-year-old brew. Even if you boil it in a crucible for three days, it still won't be flavorful. I feel like only those who like strong flavors, or elderly demons, would eat this stuff as a snack with alcohol."
“…”
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't tell me that even you guys are going to say I'm picky about food. Ginseng is so nutritious, but I haven't seen many people eat it raw!"
"No, it's just that I suddenly realized something..." Gojo Satoru said, "How do you know that the taste of Sukuna's fingers is not to your liking?"
