Chapter 66 Clearing the Scene
"Tsk, it's rare for me to be interested in chatting, but it turns out to be so boring."
Ryomen Sukuna had no interest in staying any longer. Although he didn't care about life or death and would fight if he didn't accept it, there were two guys standing opposite him who could crush him who only had 3/20 of his strength. He was not crazy and had no interest in getting into a 1v2 fight.
Before knowing that there were two monsters here, Ryomen Sukuna originally planned to take out the heart of this body and take the life of Yuji Itadori's other woman named "Ghost" as hostage, in order to ask Megumi Fushiguro to fight him so that he could observe the interesting curse up close.
Although Yuji Itadori's consciousness will recover sooner or later, if his consciousness surfaces during the period without a heart, he will die. Ryomen Sukuna knows very well that even if he says he can die, he still has a will to survive in his heart, and he will definitely hesitate or dare not surface his consciousness.
But the situation outside was not as Sukuna expected. In such a short time, the injuries of the woman named Kugisaki Nobara and Fushiguro Megumi were healed. This means that one of Gojo Satoru and Onikage must have the same reversal technique that can heal others as he did.
Then he probably took out Yuji Itadori's heart and replaced his body with it. The newly replaced Yuji Itadori was healed by the reversal technique before he could say a word, and it was even his consciousness, Ryomen Sukuna, who was in pain.
So what is the purpose of Ryoumen Sukuna staying here?
Cheng Xiaoyu raised her eyes. "Oh, yes, Yuji, you can change back now. You were awake when I slapped Sukuna just now, right? Look, Sukuna himself thinks he's redundant here. Why don't you just remove him?"
Soon, the black spell on the pink-haired boy's face began to fade, and Yuji Itadori regained consciousness. The boy touched the back of his head embarrassedly. "Sorry, I saw you guys were talking, so I thought I'd change back later."
Cheng Xiaoyu healed the wound on Yuji Itadori's stomach that exposed his internal organs, and then said to Gojo Satoru, "What are your plans for you and these three children?"
Gojo Satoru sighed towards the crematorium, now a ruin. "There's no way to plan anything in this situation. There's bound to be a mountain of reports to submit, and after I send the young people back, I'll have to investigate the theft from the high school. Oh, and do you need me to keep the news of the four Sukuna fingers a secret?"
Cheng Xiaoyu: "That's not necessary. You know these four Sukuna fingers are fake. I just took them for inspection. Now I'm done. If you need them for reporting, I can return them to you now."
"Fake?" Itadori Yuji couldn't believe it. "But the one I ate in the morgue before felt no different."
"Because that's the only real one. Otherwise, the five unsealed Sukuna fingers are in such a low-density area that this place would have long been a haven for cursed spirits."
Gojo Satoru explained to the students.
"The real Sukuna Finger is visible to ordinary people without cursed energy, but these four fingers are incorporeal and are simply a condensation of cursed energy and magic. Ordinary people can't see them at all. They are all counterfeit products concealed by the aura of the fifth, real Sukuna Finger. The purpose is to make you expend your cursed energy and physical strength to seal them."
Itadori Yuji then remembered that when he took the finger from the drawer, Ryomen Sukuna could have taken the opportunity to eat a few more fingers, but he waited until he took out the finger that was lying alone in the deepest part before intercepting it. He must have already seen the trap, but he still wanted to watch them have fun.
Gojo Satoru: "Since you don't want those fake fingers, Ghost, then give them to me. Report them to me so I can use them to issue a wanted order for the culprit."
Megumi Fushiguro: "Excuse me, what are you trying to test, Oni-san? If it's cursed energy, Gojo-sensei's [Six Eyes] would be more accurate, right?"
In fact, it is to check the special space-time traces left by one of the high-dimensional creatures, so as to analyze his recent condition.
But Fushiguro Shigeru had specifically instructed not to let Fushiguro Megumi get involved, so Cheng Xiaoyu made up an excuse: "I'm checking the ingredients to see if they can make soup for me. Unfortunately, this stuff isn't as nutritious as toilet paper and doesn't taste as good as slime. It also doesn't keep well; it'll only last a few days before it falls apart. I was thinking about getting some colorful nail polish and putting it in a vase to create a unique flower arrangement. Whether it's on a bedside table or a windowsill, it'll be a beautiful addition."
Everyone: “…”
I have seen people with old-fashioned aesthetics, but I have never seen people with obsolete aesthetics.
The only thing was that he had just been disconnected and missed a key plot, and was almost physically injured. Itadori Yujin thought Cheng Xiaoyu was just joking, and laughed heartlessly: "Miss Ghost Shadow is really a joke."
"Because black humor can effectively reduce the fatigue of office workers." Cheng Xiaoyu said, stepping half a foot into her own shadow on the tree trunk, and keeping half of her body hidden in the shadow, she said to the people behind, "Come here, that car can't move on the road even with both rearview mirrors broken off. The adults have important things to deal with now, so I'm taking you on a shortcut. Remember not to shake off the hands holding you in the dark, and don't try to attack the red eyes, they are there to guide you."
......
“I actually made it to the technical college!”
Under the guidance of the ghost soldiers, Yuji Itadori walked out of the shadows and found that the scene was the infirmary of the high school, and exclaimed with starry eyes.
"That's a really cool move! Is it Miss Ghost's technique? Can I learn it?"
Cheng Xiaoyu laughed and answered Yuji's questions one by one: "Maybe it can be considered a technique. But it's not popular to learn. You already have a Sukuna in your head. You don't want to put three mahjong tables in your head, do you?"
Hishito the knotweed: "Huh?"
"Excuse me, could you please chat somewhere else?" Ieiri Naoko, the actual person in charge of the infirmary, said to the five people who suddenly appeared in her office. "I have work to attend to here."
"I accidentally took the wrong path. Please bear with me, Nitro," Cheng Xiaoyu said. "The auxiliary inspector for this mission was a curse master in disguise, and these three children were forced to face a special-grade curse spirit. Although I cured their physical injuries, they must have suffered some psychological trauma. I'd like to trouble the kind-hearted Nitro to treat them."
Ieiri Naoko put away the report she was writing and said, "Oh, sure."
Kugisaki Nobara couldn't believe it: "Can the reversal technique heal psychological trauma? I always thought the reversal technique could only heal external injuries."
"Of course not, but when I took the medical license exam, I also took the psychological counselor license exam." Jiali Glass said and started to chase Cheng Xiaoyu and Gojo Satoru away, "Why are you two still here for the youth psychological counseling? Go do what you need to do."
......
Gojo Satoru took Cheng Xiaoyu to see the stolen storage room, and then these two evil humanoid natural disasters of the five elements kicked the four fake Sukuna fingers directly into the meeting room of the top leaders of the Jujutsu world.
Of course they didn't go in together. They had discussed the steps beforehand.
First, Gojo Satoru gathered everyone together. Based on the assassination attempt on Yuji Itadori and the theft of the high school, he speculated that an unknown organization was targeting the world of sorcery. It was even possible that there was an insider who had infiltrated the top echelons of the sorcery world and asked them to issue a wanted notice for the guy with sutures on his forehead.
"If, as you say, there is such a group challenging the authority of the magic world, we do need to issue a wanted warrant, but the evidence you have provided is very limited."
The top leaders of the curse world actually promised Gojo Satoru to keep Yuji Itadori, but in fact they still hoped that Yuji Itadori, the vessel of Sukuna, would die. However, because Gojo Satoru and the others had not had time to take actual action, they were happy to see someone willing to help them, and they also had perfect reasons to refuse.
"We are not misleading. The residue left behind by the curser who assassinated Sukuna Vessel is inconsistent with what was left in the High School's vault. We cannot see any connection between the theft of the High School and the assassination of Sukuna Vessel."
Gojo Satoru: "In this assassination attempt, there was a trap made with Sukuna's finger, and there were also forged Sukuna's fingers. All of our Sukuna fingers were stolen from the high school. These two things happened around the same day. Do you have Alzheimer's disease? You can't see the connection between them?"
A high-ranking official in the magic world retorted, "The High School also had the special spell item, the Nine Phase Diagram, stolen. Furthermore, one of the leaders you severely injured before the incident happened to be in charge of security for this area. The thief likely took advantage of this opportunity to steal."
Before, the top brass in the Jujutsu world would have mocked Gojo Satoru for being too suspicious after his refusal, but ever since Gojo Satoru suddenly got angry and really beat up several members of management, and even beat up all those who were making unreasonable arguments and relying on their seniority, they stopped looking down on Gojo Satoru and started to be reasonable.
"So you're saying the theft at the technical high school is my fault?" Gojo Satoru frowned, and they immediately replied, "Of course not. We're just being realistic. Even if the two incidents aren't connected, the fact that a curse master has infiltrated the curse world and assassinated someone is something we must take seriously. We'll be issuing a standard wanted warrant for the suspect you mentioned."
"At the same time, we fully agree with your opinion that there is a traitor infiltrating the world of sorcery. Indeed, given the strict security of the High Commissioner's vault, the thief would have been unable to pull off the theft without a traitor's tip. We will be conducting a thorough investigation of any suspicious individuals within the organization."
The high-ranking official in the curse world then asked Cheng Xiaoyu, who was standing nearby, holding a crystal ball in one hand, "Then why did Her Excellency the Ghost Queen attend the meeting? We have already handed over the handling of your alliance to Gojo Satoru."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "I'm here to kill people."
The high-ranking officials of the curse world broke out in a cold sweat. "Why? Because that curse master violated your authority? We have already transferred your affairs to Gojo Satoru. This matter has nothing to do with us."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Because that curse master wanted to kill me. You just let it go even though you knew he attacked a foreign guest like me. And you transferred all my dealings to Gojo Satoru, who is always busy and can't be found. I now have the right to suspect that you are trying to hire someone to kill me, or that you have already colluded with the mastermind behind the scenes to take possession of that extremely dangerous extraterrestrial infiltration object that could destroy the entire world and, most importantly, make me ineffective."
"At the same time, I reasonably suspect that you lied about the missing items in the vault. In addition to the special effects spells, there was also the extraterrestrial infiltration object I was looking for. The theft of the vault was all staged by you."
We don’t!
The crystal ball burst out with blue-purple smoke, and the high-ranking officials in the curse world who were blamed on their heads were instantly surrounded by the blue-purple smoke. They wanted to seek justice but found that they could open their mouths but could not make any sound, and could not even move a finger. They were forced to remain silent.
The last thing he sensed before losing consciousness was a crystal ball emitting a strange gravitational pull in the bluish-purple smoke.
After the smoke cleared, only two people were left standing in the conference room.
Cheng Xiaoyu concluded the meeting: "Simply put, I've discovered that you're more of a hindrance to me alive than dead. So, I'll have to ask you to leave early."
