Chapter 8
The real person didn't intend to make a big fuss. After all, it would be bad if he provoked Gojo Satoru.
But it would be better if more people came besides Gojo Satoru.
He doesn't have a collection of sorcerers yet.
The real person was moving among the crowd. Both his dress and appearance did not fit in with the students around him, but no one except Junpei Yoshino noticed this uninvited guest.
Curse jumped onto the podium in full view of everyone.
At this time, the teacher was presenting awards. Sato Shota had a businesslike smile on his face and was holding the award certificate while bowing towards the audience to show his humility.
The real person is standing right there.
The two worlds that were originally separated intentionally seemed to merge together at this moment. Even for those who were not aware of the situation, it was easy to mistake the relationship between the cursed spirits and humans at a glance.
Inexplicably absurd.
The students below began to applaud, and the applause seemed to be for this scene that only Yoshino Junpei could see.
Could this be the world that Leaky Pot imagined?
I felt it carefully and it didn't seem to be anything special.
As expected, only humans like this kind of formalism.
The real person, who had lost interest, turned around and put his hand on the other person's head before Sato stepped down.
Waiting until the other person is alone may save you a lot of trouble, but it will also be a lot less fun.
And real people don't like that kind of boring development.
It just so happens that it has recently been trying to see if it can cause people to hallucinate by directly changing the brain.
This time, let’s see if we can get people to dedicate their lives peacefully and quietly.
【Transformation through inaction】
Under the effect of the technique, Sato Shota's brain underwent some subtle changes.
And because of his carelessness, a little bit of the cursed power that leaked out also affected the other party's external appearance.
Sato Shota's face physically melted for a moment, and amid the screams of the audience students, the real person let out an "Ah".
The cursed spirit said with a false apology: "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the business here."
As it spoke, it reached out to pinch the other's sticky face, trying to roughly restore it like it was plasticine, and ended up almost taking off Sato Shota's nose.
All the teachers and students were stunned by the incomprehensible scene before them. After the first person reacted, everyone screamed and rushed out of the gymnasium.
The real person didn't care and slowly made a seal on his hand.
[Born from darkness, from darkness to darkness, filth and filth will be completely eliminated]
A dark barrier slowly descended from the sky, trapping the students in the campus filled with a despairing atmosphere.
Ten minutes have passed since Sukuna's container received the call, and it should be arriving soon.
In any case, it would be better to keep some fresh humans for now. Even if they are not used as hostages, they can be used as stock.
Yoshino Junpei stood there in silence for two seconds, then slowly walked towards the stage.
"What? What happened to my face? What on earth happened?!"
Sato Shota fell to the ground. The real person's technique was to transform the soul and then react on the body. As the object of the technique, he only felt that his face was pulled and deformed by a gravitational force. It was weird, but it didn't hurt until it exceeded the limit.
My misshapen eyelids blocked most of my vision, but I could still hear my classmates’ terrified screams. The uneasiness in my heart could no longer be controlled and grew wildly like weeds.
Sato Shota raised his hand tremblingly, and when he touched the strange-feeling skin on his face, he suddenly shrank back.
At this time, he heard footsteps approaching from afar. Sato Shota raised his head and tried to identify the identity of the person from his narrow field of vision.
"Who? Who's here? What happened to me?"
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Sato Shota became even more panicked and shouted in the direction of the footsteps: "What the hell are you talking about! Are you mute?!"
Yoshino Junpei looked at the other person's ugly appearance with indifference, reached out and grabbed Sato Shota's collar, and walked towards the door without caring whether the other person would fall and get hurt because of the obstructed vision.
The curse precedes the sorcerer.
He has made his choice.
"Ah, failed."
Mami sighed as he watched Sato Shouta curse non-stop.
“The brain is a complicated thing indeed.”
Just as it was sighing, the real person felt someone approaching at a high speed.
Turning around, I saw Sukuna's container standing at the door of the gymnasium with its eyes wide open, as if it didn't understand what was going on.
Yuji Itadori's gaze shifted from the real person to Junpei Yoshino, and he stared at Sato, who seemed to be struggling in his hands but did not look like a living person, with his eyes furious.
"What are you doing, Junpei!"
When Yuji Itadori tried to get closer, the real person suddenly attacked him: "If you ignore me, I will be sad."
Although Yoshino Junpei has a spell engraved in his body, his brain is not the type that can use spells, so it cannot form a combat capability and can be left alone.
Although he really wants to use Junpei Yoshino to design a "bond" between Yuji Itadori and Sukuna, Masato is now more interested in things related to resurrection.
So it won't touch him for now.
As for restraint... there are more than one situation where Yuji Itadori has to call Sukuna out.
"You bastard—"
The two sides started fighting soon. In order to avoid accidental injuries, Yuji Itadori led the cursed spirits and fought little by little to the empty playground.
The real person saw through Yuji's little thoughts, but because it was exactly what he wanted, he didn't expose it. Neither of them took the fight seriously, and the two sides fought several times, but no actual harm was caused.
This delay lasted until Kento Nanami appeared.
Although Yuji Itadori went there alone immediately after receiving the call, he still remembered to call Kento Nanami and Ijichi to ask for support.
The sudden appearance of Nanami Kento broke the balance, and Yuji Itadori punched the real person hard in the face.
When the blood flowed down the real person's nose, everyone was stunned except Yuji Itadori himself, who caused the injury.
"Why is it like this again?"
The real person was a little bit unbelievable.
Nanami Kento grasped the key point.
again?
With some guesses in mind, Nanami Kento made a quick decision.
"Switch positions. I'll assist and you attack."
Facing the confused Yuji Itadori, the blond sorcerer quickly explained to him: "My spell has no effect on it."
"Eh? Then what's wrong with me?"
Yeah, what’s going on with Yuji Itadori?
When Nanami Kento and Masato were fighting before, the cursed spirit talked a lot about his own curses.
Soul or something.
So what is the difference between Yuji Itadori's soul and that of others?
——Sukuna.
Both sides thought of the King of Curses at the same time.
And Real People Associates thought of more.
Even if he doesn't say it himself, he will soon realize that I can't use the technique on Yuji Itadori.
In this case, it is better to make it public. Not only can you enhance your abilities, but you can also divert disaster away.
The real person changed his legs into the shape of a goat, and while dodging the coordinated attacks of the two people on the opposite side, he said with a hint of expectation: "I'll tell you a piece of information for free."
Yuji Itadori frowned and asked back, "What?"
Nanami Kento did not relax at all, and his attack speed was the same as always: "Yuji-san, please do not let your guard down. This may be a trick to attract your attention."
The real person snorted lightly: "That's too much, but I'm in a good mood now, so I won't care about it."
Afterwards, it lowered its voice in a pretentious manner, as if it was talking to a close friend, as if it was telling a secret.
"I met a humanoid cursed spirit yesterday. You should know who I'm talking about, right?"
The cursed spirit observed the expressions of the two people opposite him, and after confirming that they had indeed matched, he stared at Yuji Itadori and spoke slowly.
"I just discovered that it's the same as the Japanese knotweed over there..."
No, it wasn't staring at the knotweed, but it was like looking into the eyes of a deeper existence.
"They are all 'containers' of some kind of existence."
In the boundless sea of blood, on a throne made of bones.
The King of Curses opened his eyes.
