Chapter 5

After (thinking he had) clarified Kakashi's true family tree with Nanami Kento, Bai Yun felt a lot more relieved.

After all, the words have been made so clearly, there shouldn't be any misunderstandings, right?

After resolving the problem that had been lingering in his mind, Bai Yun began to concentrate on acting.

Uchiha Obito is a very complicated person.

When he was a child, he was basically the same as Uzumaki Naruto, the kind of little sun who would help old ladies cross the street. When he was taking revenge on society, he basically wore the vest of Uchiha Madara. When he pretended to be a gangster, he was a mean psychopath who would call himself a female high school student.

Later, when he finally became the second Ten-Tails Jinchuriki after the Sage of Six Paths, and saw that his years of hard work were finally about to bear fruit, Uchiha Obito suddenly overturned the ideals he had fought for for more than a decade, was persuaded by Uzumaki Naruto to turn against him, and died in the battle with Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

Bai Yun studied it in seclusion for several days, but still couldn't figure out how the final bend was made.

But if I keep it to myself, it will be no different from when I was in the mission hall.

So in the end, Bai Yun still went to meet Nanami Kento with confusion in his heart.

When interpreting Uchiha Obito, Bai Yun grasped two characteristics:

First, as a former big boss, he must have enough aura and it is impossible for him to answer every question.

Second, as a former terrorist who has turned over a new leaf, he should now be an unusually good cursed spirit and will not stand by and watch someone die.

Well, at least not when the other person has just helped you...right?

Anyway, leaving aside the details, Bai Yun felt that his performance this time was simply perfect.

Bai Yun thought, "If it was Nana Ming, she wouldn't have such a wild imagination as Gojo Satoru," and didn't know that even Uchiha Obito's surname was on the verge of mutation. After simply reviewing what had just happened, he began to examine his own shortcomings very motivatedly.

For example, when Nanami Kento asked him what his purpose was and why he suddenly showed up at this time, Bai Yun realized belatedly that his vest lacked motive.

He himself is here to act, but the vest is definitely not here!

Thinking of this, Bai Yun opened the system and called up the main task that he had just glanced at and then forgotten about.

"System, why did you say before that my main mission is to obtain enough energy to maintain world stability?"

Although Bai Yun clearly showed that he did not take the main mission seriously, the system had not evolved to the point where it would arouse any emotions because of this, and the content of the answer was exactly the same as last time.

[Once a crack appears in the world, it will tend to expand and even attract the surrounding parallel spaces. Therefore, a large amount of energy is needed to maintain the relative balance and stability of this world. ]

"I understand the logic, but what does this vest or role play have to do with it?"

[Searching...]

[Retrieval completed. This mission was imposed by the logistics team because they were dissatisfied with the fact that "the vest role-playing system and its host often caused the world's rifts to widen due to various improper operations." 】

Bai Yun: “…”

"I wanted to say this before. You guys are so free."

For example, Bai Yun herself changed groups in just one sentence, and now it seems that this is not an isolated case.

【Sorry, the system doesn't understand what you are talking about. 】

never mind.

Bai Yun suddenly paid attention to the main mission in order to find inspiration for the vest operation.

The energy that the system refers to is basically the special power system of the mission world, such as chakra, spiritual power, and the flame of death.

And for Bai Yun at this time, this energy is cursed power.

As long as one has cursed power, no matter if they are cursers, sorcerers, cursed spirits, or even ordinary people with just a little talent, they can become the "fuel" to maintain the world.

Among them, even if the curse power of the living is drained, they can slowly recover. At most, they will be a little weak and unable to do anything, but their lives will not be in real danger.

But for the cursed spirits, they are not so lucky.

The cursed spirit itself is made up of cursed energy. No matter how much or how little you draw, it will cause real damage. If you use too much force, you can even die on the spot.

The method of collecting cursed energy is also very simple - as long as the host has the idea of ​​extracting energy in his heart and touches the other party with his hands.

——Although it sounds convenient, unfortunately, it does not match the pseudonym "Uchiha Obito".

At least when wearing a vest, Bai Yun would never use this skill.

This is a question of professionalism.

In addition to active acquisition, the system will continue to absorb some of the thin mana in the air, so even if Bai Yun does nothing, he will not get nothing. And if you think this is too slow, you can also actively increase the density of mana in the air.

There are two basic operating atmospheres:

The first is to fight with the curse or the sorcerer, and you can push the opponent to the limit. The more active the curse power is, the easier it is for the system to collect it. Of course, you can also kill it directly.

The other is to make humans feel negative emotions including fear, in other words, like carrying a bag of rice up several floors (feel the pain).

Bai Yun: “.”

It's quite suitable for the identity of a big boss.

Bai Yun was not in a good mood, but she did not intend to refuse.

After all, if the progress of the main mission is poor, you will be caught and taken back to the mission hall to be imprisoned.

Since Uchiha Obito has turned over a new leaf, there is no need to consider the second option for the time being. The first option is also not suitable for attacking a sorcerer.

Then the only thing we can do is to kill some cursed spirits to survive.

While having lunch at Junpei Yoshino's house, Yuji Itadori suddenly felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.

After taking out his cell phone and looking at the caller ID, he looked at the mother and son beside him and hesitated for two seconds.

Today, Yuji Itadori originally came to investigate the mysterious death in the cinema and find out the situation from Junpei Yoshino, who was an eyewitness.

Although the two became friends by accident, met their parents, and are now having dinner together, since Yoshino Junpei claimed that he was not aware of the movie theater incident, the entire investigation should have nothing to do with him, and the existence of the Jujutsu World should be kept secret from them.

But at this moment, Yuji Itadori suddenly thought of the answer he got when he was curious about "Why most sorcerers cover their eyes".

Curses are sensitive to sight, and are more likely to attack those who can see them than those who cannot.

Yuji Itadori speculated that this might be related to the principle of the production of cursed power.

After all, being able to see but not being able to resist is a very scary thing.

People who died in despair are more likely to be cursed than those who died inexplicably.

Yoshino Junpei is a person who can see, but he knows nothing about sorcery. If we leave him alone, no one can guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen.

Thinking of this, Yuji Itadori said seriously: "I'm going to take a call first. I have something to say later. It may be a little weird, but please believe me."

Yoshino Junpei's expression was a little subtle, and his mother was already drunk. She was a little confused when she heard this: "Huh? What's going on all of a sudden?"

"We'll know in a moment." Without waiting for the two to react, Yuji Itadori answered the phone in front of them: "Hello, Mr. Ijichi."

Ijichi's weak voice came from the other end of the phone: "Finally I answered the phone... Long story short, Mr. Nanami encountered two special-grade cursed spirits today."

"What! Is Nana Ming okay?!"

Yuji Itadori was surprised: Can special grade be found so easily? ? ?

Ijichi comforted him, "Don't worry, Nanami-san has returned safely to the high school for further examination...but that's not the point of this call."

"The two special-grade cursed spirits that Mr. Nanami has encountered so far are temporarily called the Stitched Face Cursed Spirit and the Scarred Face Cursed Spirit based on their characteristics."

Yuji Itadori complained: "What an ugly code name."

"It was Mr. Gojo who started it. Time is very tight now. Please don't interrupt me."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Ijichi sighed and continued, "According to current speculation, these two cursed spirits should not belong to the same camp. Mr. Nanami first clashed with the Stitched Face Cursed Spirit and was injured, and then encountered the Scarface Cursed Spirit."

"According to Mr. Nanami's description, the Scarface Curse Spirit only exchanged some information with him, and finally used the reversal technique to heal his injuries."

Yuji Itadori was a little surprised: "The cursed spirit can also take the initiative to heal humans? So there are good people in the curse?"

Ijichi: "This is the first time I've heard of this. But no matter what, a cursed spirit is a cursed spirit. Even if this unknown curse healed Mr. Nanami once, it may not have good intentions. There may be more terrible conspiracies waiting for us in the future."

"So next time you see a cursed spirit, please don't let your guard down."

Yuji Itadori replied obediently: "I understand."

Ichichi instructed, "Also, because the recent situation is really unprecedented, please don't stay outside alone, Yuji. I'll pick you up now. Also, the targets of the special cursed spirits are not confirmed, and there is no guarantee that they have no connection with Sukuna, so please stay alert at all times."

"oh!"

After hanging up the phone, Yoshino Nagi couldn't help asking, "What happened? Is it related to what you want to tell us?"

"Yeah." Yuji Itadori nodded and shared with the two of them the reason why he met Junpei, some common sense in the world of sorcery, and his own concerns.

Finally, he added: "I'm not telling you this to scare you or anything like that, I just want you to know where to get help if there are any problems."

As a new-age fashion mother, Yoshino Nagi quickly accepted this statement: "I didn't expect our world to be so fantasy, just like in the movies."

Yoshino Junpei seemed a little silent since Yuji answered the phone. Since he was close enough, he could hear most of what Ijichi said on the other end of the phone.

The Stitched Face Curse... Is this about Mr. Zhenren?

Yoshino Junpei couldn't help but ask: "Are all curses attributed to bad people?"

Yuji Itadori was stunned for a moment, and his tone was not very sure: "Should it be? After all, it was born from the negative emotions of human beings."

Yoshino Junpei asked back, "But didn't you just say there is a curse that can actively heal humans?"

"Who knows... I've just come into contact with the world of spells, and there are many things I don't understand yet."

Yuji Itadori touched his neck awkwardly: "But it's not too late to make a judgment after we really encounter this kind of thing, right? Just like there are good people and bad people, after we meet, we can make further judgments based on what the other party does."

After Itadori Yuji left, Yoshino Junpei returned to his room and couldn't help thinking -

Is Mr. Real a bad guy?
