Chapter 188 "It sounds like you're talking about me."...

Not harming anyone... If they sign the bond, Ryomen Sukuna will indeed not be able to violate that, which sounds pretty safe.

But Yuji Itadori paused for only a second before rejecting it: "No." He said, "You only said not to hurt anyone, but the expansionist is not a human being. Who knows if my other brother is a human being? This restraint is not complete."

Because he has been in contact with Sukuna recently and has been thinking about the relationship between humans and cursed spirits, Yuji Itadori is very sensitive to key words. Coupled with his intuition, he can keenly hear the limitations in Sukuna's words.

Now his view of his own camp is no longer limited to identity. Humans, cursed spirits, and other non-human and non-cursed spirit creatures can all be enemies or friends.

It is obviously not enough for Sukuna to simply say not to harm humans.

This word game came to an end just as it began.

"..." Although the proposal was rejected, Ryoumen Sukuna's tone did not change at all. He slowly and sarcastically said, "Kid, do you believe the words of that special cursed spirit with a strange hairstyle?"

"At least I can trust him more than you. I no longer judge my enemies based on whether they have cursed spirits or not."

Yuji Itadori pursed his lips, his eyes firm, and replied soberly, "I don't know what you are going to do, but you certainly wouldn't be so kind as to offer such a suggestion for no reason - I won't give you a chance."

Ryoumen Sukuna sighed, his tone leisurely, and the ending tone was drawn out: "It's just that I'm too bored, and I want to have some fun."

Yuji Itadori remained alert. He paused for a moment, then asked in a lowered tone, "Why are you so concerned about the information of my possible brother? What do you want to do by coming out?"

Just now, Ryomen Sukuna had already stated that he knew the information about his brother, so Yuji Itadori did not ask any further questions. Instead, he analyzed another key point from the other party's restrictive demands.

——The Sukuna guy said that if we meet then, he will come out for a minute. Why?

"What?" The two mouths that appeared on the back of the hands laughed, "——Of course, to get back the meal he owes me! Cooking or something doesn't matter."

Sukuna sneered, "I don't care whether he forgets or not, I just need to remember this account."

Ryoumen Sukuna laughed for no apparent reason, and the sound of his laughter echoed through the door of the dormitory room.

Yuji Itadori frowned, not understanding what Ryomen Sukuna said.

...It sounds like Sukuna knows each other. But what does it mean to owe a meal?

Thinking about it in his mind, Yuji Itadori acted without hesitation and raised his other hand to hit the back of Sukuna's hand where his mouth appeared.

There was a crisp "bang" sound, but unfortunately, Yuji Itadori only hit himself, and Ryomen Sukuna had already retreated.

However, this time, Sukuna did not appear in another place, but seemed to have lost interest and returned to the realm where he was born.

The ear-piercing laughter was no longer heard in the dormitory, and the entire space became much quieter.

Yuji Itadori turned over and lay on his side on the bed, still feeling sleepy. It could even be said that after this ineffective communication with Sukuna, he became more awake.

His possible brother...Yuji Itadori once again remembered the questions that Xiang Xiang had asked him about the young man with black hair and brown eyes.

Could it be him? Yuji Itadori was a little confused, but had some vague guesses.

Sukuna had just ridiculed that "the other party may not remember him", and the black-haired young man happened to have amnesia. And the other party seemed to fit the identity of Sukuna's old acquaintance.

However, Yuji Itadori was a little confused as to why his possible brother was an acquaintance of the Cursed King who appeared a thousand years ago.

...Could it be that I, like Fushiguro and Kugizaki, had a life thousands of years ago? And my possible brother was my brother thousands of years ago?

——Megumi Fushiguro and Norose Kugizaki have shared stories from thousands of years ago with Yuji Itadori. The two of them knew each other as early as the Heian-kyo period, but they had not met Itadori at that time.

Yuji Itadori looked up at the ceiling. He tried to use his imagination to think, but found that his subconscious was empty. No matter how hard he tried to dig, he found nothing.

He couldn't remember the stories from a thousand years ago, nor was he sure whether he had any past events from a thousand years ago.

There seemed to be only darkness in the depths of my memory, and a blurry long-haired figure that occasionally passed by.

Yuji Itadori let out a breath silently and thought to himself: Sukuna looks full of malicious intent.

Regardless of whether that guy was targeting the black-haired and brown-eyed young man, if you can see him again, just remind him.

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a knock on the dormitory door.

Yuji Itadori originally thought he had heard it wrong, but a moment later, the "knock knock" sound was heard again on the door at night.

“……”It’s so late, who is it?

To be honest, when there was a knock on the door in the middle of the night, the first thing that came to Yuji Itadori's mind was the horror movie he had seen before.

But then his thoughts came back to him.

There are no ghosts in real life, only cursed spirits, and cursed spirits will not knock on the door politely, so the person outside must be a human.

Yuji Itadori turned over and got out of bed, walked over in three or two steps to open the door.

——Standing outside the door was the expressionless black-haired boy, Megumi Fushiguro.

"...Fushiguro?" Yuji Itadori was slightly stunned, "Why are you here?"

"The walls of the technical college dormitory are not very soundproof," Fushiguro Megumi said calmly. "I heard bursts of laughter from next door, so I came over to take a look."

Yuji Itadori's eyes narrowed, and then he rubbed his cheeks a little embarrassedly: "Uh, sorry, it was that Sukuna guy..."

"I know it's him." Fushiguro Megumi nodded. "Are you okay? What did you talk about?"

Yuji Itadori paused and said, "I'm fine. Sukuna asked me to sign a bond and make a deal with him."

"Transaction?" Fushiguro Megumi frowned, lowered his arms from across his chest, and was about to say something, but paused, then took two steps forward, "Let's go in and talk in detail."

It was night time now, and the dormitory of the technical college was very quiet. Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori Yuji were talking as quietly as possible, but there was still a slight echo in the corridor.

The corridor was not a suitable place for late night talks, so the two chose to go into the dormitory to talk.

"Oh, okay." Yuji Itadori moved aside and after Megumi Fushiguro entered the room, he closed the door and pulled out the chair next to the desk.

"What kind of deal did Sukuna say he wanted to make with you?" asked Megumi Fushiguro.

Yuji Itadori blinked slightly, and then slowly said: "I once asked me about that matter."

There is no need to specify the details; the Fu Hu Zhi trio has their own nickname habits.

Since they locked onto the Potential Enemy Control Commission, they have defined many of their own terms to avoid being seen by those omnipresent eyes.

The "that person" they were talking about was the black-haired and brown-eyed young man who I didn't know was my enemy.

Fushiguro Megumi and Kugizaki No Rose both have complicated feelings for that person, which stems from events that happened thousands of years ago.

Yuji Itadori continued: "I asked him if he was my brother."

Fushiguro Megumi was stunned when she heard this, obviously not expecting the direction of this conversation: "...Brother?"

"Yes. I don't know what it means specifically, and I - I don't have any relevant memories. But I may really have a brother." Yuji Itadori let out a breath and said, "Sukuna said that he could help me find the brother I'm looking for, but in exchange, he has to come out for one minute when we meet."

"..." Fushiguro Megumi remained silent. After a while, he asked, "Why?"

"Sukuna's answer was that my potential brother owed him a meal and he wanted to get it back." Yuji Itadori took the initiative to ask, "I don't understand what this sentence means - did something happen a thousand years ago, Fushiguro?"

The King of Curses has been sealed away for thousands of years. When talking about the past, it must be the Heian-kyo period.

All Yuji Itadori knows about that era is what he learned from history. He doesn't know as much as Fushiguro and Kugizaki who have memories from a thousand years ago.

After hearing Yuji Itadori's words, Fushiguro Megumi first showed a look of contemplation, then his expression gradually became serious, and he said in a deep and slightly hurried voice:

"You didn't agree to him, right, Yuji?"

"Of course, I didn't agree." Yuji Itadori shook his head, "I don't trust Sukuna. Although I don't know his purpose, I know that I can't easily agree to any of his conditions. I will not be bound by him."

Then, he asked Fushiguro Megumi: "What's wrong? Do you know what that sentence means?"

"...A thousand years ago, I had a brief encounter with that person and Ryomen Sukuna." Fushiguro Megumi lowered her eyelids and said calmly, "Ryomen Sukuna seemed to have always wanted to eat that person, literally eat him."

"If you assume that he is your brother and what I knew a thousand years ago, then [returning the meal you owe] means that Sukuna intends to kill or devour that person within a minute."

Yuji Itadori looked dazed, he clenched and unclenched his fists, and looked a little nervous.

Fushiguro Megumi continued to analyze: "That person's current state is not right, and his strength level may not be able to keep up. If Sukuna really intends to take advantage of him, he may indeed..."

"I won't let Sukuna out." Yuji Itadori pursed his lips, his eyes sparkling, "No matter whether that cursed spirit with black hair and brown eyes is my brother or not, I will remind him - stay away from me, stay away from Ryomen Sukuna."

It was at this moment that a cool night breeze suddenly blew slowly from behind. The large window in the dormitory had been opened at some point, and it made a slight creaking sound as the evening breeze blew.

Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro turned around subconsciously -

Something flashed past the window, and then a figure with fluttering sleeves suddenly fell into the house.

The man landed on the ground silently, and the movement of raising his head was natural and smooth, yet seemed a little nonchalant.

A pair of warm brown eyes looked calmly at the stunned teenagers.

Then, the visitor slightly curved his eyebrows and said, "It sounds like you are talking about me - what do you want to tell me?"
