Chapter 7
In fact, Bai Yun simply thought that what the real person said was disgusting, so he took action.
He didn't even think about the characteristics of the real person's technique at first.
But it is not difficult to trace the cause afterwards. According to the system introduction, Yuji Itadori has the soul of Ryūmen Sukuna in his body, and can vaguely sense the state of the soul, so he can also effectively attack the real person.
Although Bai Yun does not have Ryoumen Sukuna in his body, he has a system! In theory, he can also vaguely feel the shape of the soul.
So it's not terribly surprising that his attacks are effective against real people.
Bai Yun figured it out, but the real person didn't.
From its birth to now, it has never encountered such a thing.
The real person made a quick judgment: "Well, run away."
After saying this, he fell to the ground in a pool as if melting, and slipped out of the apartment through the gap in the door.
After most of its body escaped from the scene, a deformed little hand stretched out from the remaining part and waved to the boy: "I will come back to see the effect later. See you next time, Shunping."
Junpei Yoshino clenched his fists when he heard the curse spirit's final blatant threat. He stole a glance in Bai Yun's direction, and took a deep breath when he found that the other party had no reaction.
After all, he is still a kid who has just entered high school. The events of the past few days have had a great impact on Junpei Yoshino, so when he is nervous and panicked, he will subconsciously seek a sense of security from "close people".
Although this so-called "close person" was not only someone he had just met, but was also a cursed spirit, and had made demands on him that were like a □□ sacrifice, the only good thing he had ever done was to punch another scumbag.
It’s not that Bai Yun doesn’t want to take down the real person right here, the problem is that as a growing villain, what if the real person suddenly gains enlightenment during the fight?
Bai Yun can roll over, but "Uchiha Obito" can't!
On the other side, Yoshino Junpei seemed to have adjusted his mood. He turned his head and looked at Bai Yun: "Sacrificial offering...do you have any requirements?"
Bai Yun thought for a moment and said, "I want one, alive."
"As for the specific candidates, you can consider it carefully."
"This is about whether you can ever see your mother again."
In fact, according to the requirements of the Reincarnation of the Earth, as long as the person is alive, it will be fine.
But according to Bai Yun's understanding, if they just captured a living person, regardless of his own wishes, Uchiha Obito would definitely not help.
Although Uchiha Obito is close to being a villain who wants to destroy the world in terms of what he did, and seems to have no bottom line, he actually joined the Infinite Moonlight Project for the sake of world peace.
Wherever there is a winner, there must be a loser. Uchiha Obito lives in a world where ninjas fight each other and even children in their teens are thrown onto the battlefield and treated as consumables.
In addition to the blood and gore visible to the naked eye, this kind of world also breeds some characteristics that are not felt in normal times and only appear in moments of crisis.
For example, even children are willing to sacrifice themselves for the so-called "greater good".
For example, Rin, who was originally plotted to become the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, voluntarily died at the hands of her teammate Kakashi in order to avoid going berserk and destroying the homeland where she grew up under the orders of the enemy.
This is not how a thirteen year old should think.
Neither Rin nor Kakashi should have to bear this.
It was the distorted world that forced disaster upon them.
Uchiha Obito has always just wanted to create a better world, but because of his distrust of humans, he chose an extreme way.
Helping Yoshino Junpei because his experience was similar to mine was just a spur of the moment, not an obligation.
If Yoshino Junpei's choice is not satisfactory, it would not be surprising if "Uchiha Obito" withdraws at any time.
After dealing with Yoshino Junpei's problem, Bai Yun bent down and picked up Ryomen Sukuna's fingers.
He had just come here following the cursed spirit that was attracted by the cursed object.
【Identifying...】
【Successful identification】
[The special cursed item Ryomen Sukuna's finger is bound by "terminating life and not causing harm to others", achieving the effect of being indestructible. Although it contains powerful cursed power, it cannot be used by the system. ]
[PS: Not recommended for consumption. ]
Who would eat this?
Bai Yun looked at it over and over for a long time, but couldn't see anything special.
But according to the system, the real person's magic formula is printed on it. As long as the high school retrieves this finger, the real person can follow the magic formula to find the high school's warehouse.
Although special-grade spells cannot be used by the system, the same may not be true for first-grade spells.
Thinking of this, Bai Yun asked the system to mark his finger and then threw it back to the ground.
Yoshino Junpei hesitated and said, "How should I tell the people at the college?"
It seems that he is really afraid of never seeing his mother again. Even if it is just a blank check, Yoshino Junpei dare not let the curse rise in the slightest.
“That’s something you need to think about yourself.”
Bai Yun didn't really care whether the college knew him or not - or rather, the more people who knew him, the better, after all, it did feel like something was missing without an audience.
Before leaving, Bai Yun seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Yoshino Junpei, "Oh, that finger."
"That is a special cursed item. If it is not sealed, it will bring about a curse."
Seeing Yoshino Junpei's expression change slightly, as if he realized something, Bai Yun smiled mockingly and added, "Be careful when handling it."

The next day, Yoshino Junpei did not call the High Commissioner immediately.
He placed his mother's body back on the bed in her bedroom, stuffed it with ice packs, and took a black dress from her closet that he didn't have.
Then he put Ryomen Sukuna's fingers in his pockets and went to school.
To see my mother again requires a living sacrifice.
Three of the people in Ba Ling's small group died, but there were still some alive.
When these two conditions were placed in front of Junpei Yoshino at the same time, he was not faced with a question of "will I do it?"
It’s “how to do it”.
Today, all the students gathered in the gymnasium. The results of a previous essay writing competition have come out, and now is the time to present the awards.
Yoshino Junpei hadn't been to school for a long time and was not wearing a school uniform, so he quickly attracted people's attention.
As a class of students, everyone had some guesses about why he hadn't come to school before.
In the micro-society of school, approaching a bullied person is almost as blatant as provoking the bully. So even if they notice it, most people will just pretend not to see it.
Except the perpetrator himself.
The perpetrator needs to consolidate his or her position by repeatedly bringing the victim to the bottom.
As Yoshino Junpei expected, Sato Shota was the first to come up: "Look who's here."
Seeing Yoshino Junpei looking at him with a cold gaze, as if he was examining some commodity, Sato Shota became furious and grabbed him by the collar.
As his classmates around him exclaimed in low voices, he lowered his voice and raised his chin proudly: "What kind of expression is that?"
Yoshino Junpei just looked at him quietly without saying a word.
In addition to being angry, Sato Shota also felt a little doubtful.
He felt that Yoshino Junpei was a little different from before.
The risk-avoidance instinct etched in his DNA made him let go subconsciously. At this time, a classmate nearby couldn't help but stepped forward to dissuade him.
"…Forget it. The awards will be presented soon and the teachers will be here soon."
Someone stepped down, and Sato Shota stopped insisting: "I'll deal with you later."
He turned and left. When he passed the classmate who was trying to stop the fight, Sato Shota threatened him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "And you, didn't I tell you before that you can just write casually? What's the matter with winning the first prize? Huh?"
The other party lowered his head and dared not refute.
Seeing the other party's unwillingness to resist, Sato Shota seemed to regain his confidence and mocked again: "My talent is just a consolation prize, it's so funny."
After the people left, no one dared to approach Yoshino Junpei, but he didn't mind. He just half lowered his head, and through the cover of his bangs, he stared at Sato Shota's pocket.
He just put Ryoumen Sukuna's finger in.
He had hesitated at first.
If the mother wakes up and finds out the price at which she was resurrected, will she be disappointed in him?
But until the other person actually comes alive, all these thoughts are meaningless, right?
Yoshino Junpei paused for two seconds and casually dialed the contact number left by Itadori Yuji: "I may be about to do something not so good now."
Yuji was stunned: "Huh? What happened suddenly?"
"Goodbye, then."
"wait--"
If the curse comes first, he will capture Sato Shota as a sacrifice.
If Tiger Stick comes first, give up for now.
Now, everything depends on God's will.
Just as Yoshino Junpei was calculating, a familiar and creepy voice suddenly came from behind him: "What? You haven't caught the sacrifice yet? I am so looking forward to it."
He turned his head suddenly and happened to see the real person tilting his head and nodding with determination.
"Let me help you."
