Chapter 122 Chapter 122 Choice
So, in the middle of the night, Gojo Satoru, already feeling a bit irritated, was disturbed by a phone call. In his dream, he was back in high school, where he and Geto Suguru were sparring on the playground, while Nanami and Haibara were standing by, cheering them on...
The sudden ringing of a bell startled him awake: "Gojo-sensei, Geto Suguru's current location has been confirmed, and it's still in Shinjuku!"
"Although his men were very careful, his movements were too hasty and some alert auxiliary supervisors still discovered his tracks."
"The higher-ups have decided to send most of the sorcerers there. Geto Suguru is too great a threat. This time, we must completely eradicate him."
"The higher-ups have decided that you will be the one to carry out the decapitation mission."
Gojo Satoru's sleepiness completely disappeared, and after a long time, he hung up the phone.
“Tsk…”
…
At eight o'clock in the morning, workers who were preparing to go to Shinjuku to work were temporarily dismissed.
In order to completely eradicate the cancer of Geto Suguru, Shinjuku, a place that had not been visited for a long time, became lively again, and many sorcerers disguised as workers quickly entered the scene.
On the other side is a secluded place outside the crematorium.
Whether he was giving up or what, Gojo Satoru didn't rush to the scene immediately as requested. Instead, he first approached Itadori Yuji, who was collecting his grandfather's body. "Well, have you thought it over?"
"Are there many people who die from curses every year?" Yuji Itadori did not answer directly, but asked a seemingly ambiguous question.
He adjusted his mindset in just one night and began to care about the ordinary people who died because of the curse.
Gojo Satoru was silent for a while.
Looking at the child's earnest expression, seeking advice, he knew clearly that the child wasn't making excuses for his own choices, but was simply, genuinely concerned for ordinary people...
Perhaps I really misunderstood him...
"Yes, there are many. You can see some strange death cases reported in newspapers and on the news. Most of the real causes of death are due to cursed spirits."
"So, what's your decision?" Gojo Satoru extended a dry finger.
Hisahito took it directly and firmly determined his purpose: "If possible, I want them to have a proper death..."
Just as he opened his mouth to swallow his finger, a voice suddenly rang out from mid-air: "If you want them to die properly, then I don't recommend you swallow that finger."
"That will only deepen your connection with Ryoumen Sukuna, and you'll never be able to completely get rid of him."
Gojo Satoru turned abruptly and looked at the sky behind him: "Jay?"
"Long time no see, Wu." Geto Suguru responded with a hint of emotion.
He stood on the cursed bird, looking down at the two people on guard below.
No, it was only Gojo Satoru who was on alert. The child was looking at him with his mouth open in surprise.
The smile on Geto Xiayou's face was as gentle as that of the Buddha: "Sorry, Wu, can you let me take care of the child behind you?"
Gojo Satoru was stunned for a moment, and then felt that it was as he expected.
He glanced at the boy behind him, who looked surprised and felt a strangely familiar feeling coming over him.
Gojo Satoru had a strange expression on his face. He pulled down his eye patch and instantly transformed from a greasy uncle into a young "teenager". He looked at the pervert with a look on his face: "Last time, you took a fancy to the Jewish Qi Ben Rika, and this time you took a fancy to a living person?"
"Jie, are you heading in the direction of being a human trafficker?"
Gojo Satoru frowned and began to think about how to persuade his best friend who had already gone astray: "The current Yuji can only be considered a vessel. It shouldn't be possible to transform it into a cursed jade and then subdue it, right?"
Yuji Itadori was confused when he heard this, but it did not prevent him from realizing the purpose of the man in the air, which was him.
My world seems to have begun to change dramatically because of a finger yesterday.
He didn't know who to believe, but there was no doubt that he had become the object of competition between the two parties, and his impression of both sides was not too bad.
"I didn't come here for Ryoumen Sukuna's reincarnation, I came here simply for Itadori Yuji."
Geto Suguru looked seriously at Itadori Yuji, whose body was mostly blocked by Satoru. "Maybe I should have followed my heart and looked for this kid yesterday. Then he wouldn't have recklessly swallowed Sukuna's finger and been sentenced to death by those corrupt old men."
Gojo Satoru's pupils contracted slightly.
Jay really knew this kid...
Seeing Yuji Itadori's unusually gentle expression, Geto Suguru said, "Kid, you have to know that even if your body is strong enough to swallow all of Sukuna's fingers and successfully destroy these 20 special-grade cursed items, it still can't change the reality that those ordinary people were killed by the curse."
Yuji Itadori was stunned, frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"
Geto Suguru lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Because the curse will continue to be created by human evil thoughts and will continue to accumulate endlessly. If you kill Sukuna, you will only kill the largest ant in a group of ants. It will not have any effect on the outcome."
"Child, you are kind, but your kindness should not be used as a tool for those guys in the curse world to exploit you."
"Just because they could eliminate one of the special curses, they forced a kind-hearted child to sacrifice his life. That's their incompetence, not your fault. They have no right to arbitrarily dispose of your life."
"Come to me." Jie slowly landed and stretched out his hand: "I want to eliminate all the curses in this world. I need your help."
"Don't you want everyone to get the death they deserve?" His voice seemed to have a hint of temptation.
"You should be able to decide between exchanging your life for a special-grade beast or keeping your life and working with us to eliminate all curses."
Yuji Itadori was shocked by these words and stuttered a little. He just wanted to help others, but he never expected that one day he would face such a choice that seemed to concern the whole world: "But I... can't help you with anything..."
"I probably can't do it."
Yuji Itadori was a little flustered for a moment and subconsciously looked at the silver-haired man beside him.
Gojo Satoru also spoke at the right time to ease Yuji's nervous mood.
"Remove the curse?"
"Jie, do you want to come back?" Gojo Satoru stood up straight, chin in hand, and pondered: "Well, this might be a little troublesome."
The next second, Wu appeared beside Geto, put his arm around Geto's shoulder, and said with a sly smile, "But if you're willing to run errands for me and buy me ten years of wedding wine, I might consider it..."
Xia Yujie felt somewhat helpless and turned his attention to the white-haired man standing beside him who was a little taller than him: "Why, you don't have legs? Or have you eaten up your shamelessness? Have you become shameless yourself?"
"Huh~? Jay, do you know how annoying it is to bargain with those old guys up there?" Gojo Satoru was so angry that he went crazy.
"Five years, no less!" Gojo Satoru stretched out five fingers and gestured in front of Geto Suguru, "Those old guys summoned all the sorcerers in the world to siege you today. It's going to be very difficult to protect you~"
Xia Yujie quietly watched Wu playing tricks in front of him. Although he was touched by his sincerity, his expression gradually became serious: "Wu, you know what I mean."
"I never like to do things halfway."
"Since we want to eliminate the curse, we must kill them all."
"Hey? Jie, did you hit your head in that fight earlier?" Gojo Satoru moved exaggeratedly closer to Jie, circling Jie up and down in disbelief, trying to find anything unusual about Jie. "Remove the curse?"
But seeing the unchanging determination on Geto Suguru's face, Gojo Satoru slowly put down his exaggerated hands.
The field was silent for a long time before Gojo Satoru spoke: "You know this is impossible."
Geto Suguru was very calm, but the seriousness on his face could be clearly seen: "I know, because as long as humans exist, curses will be born all the time, but..."
His eyes were slightly sharp. "Is it really impossible? Or is it because the higher-ups are unwilling?"
Yuji Itadori, who was standing by, had already recovered from the shock that these two seniors were actually good friends. When he heard about the curse, his ears pricked up.
"Jay, what do you want to say?"
"The reason why there are so many cursed spirits in Japan is because of the Tianyuan barrier, right?"
"I've traveled to most countries before. Some countries have populations several times larger than ours, yet the number of curses is very small. The curse power generated by ordinary people has already dissipated into the vast universe before it can condense into a more powerful curse. Even first-level curse spirits are pitifully rare..."
"But this place is tightly enclosed by a barrier. While it may be able to monitor the fluctuations of the cursed energy throughout the entire world to a certain extent, and promptly discover the location of cursed spirits, it also prevents the cursed energy from escaping. Thousands of years of accumulation have caused the frequency of curses to become terrifyingly high!"
Yuji Itadori, who was standing by, understood some of what was said and his pupils suddenly shrank.
This curse actually came about like this?
"Every moment, countless cursed spirits are generated, killing ordinary people and those ordinary sorcerers who know nothing and just blindly accept tasks to remove curses." Geto Suguru's voice became gloomy, and he thought of his former admirer, Haibara Yu.
His life had just begun, but he lost his life because of these people's selfish desires.
"And this is simply due to the selfishness of the top management and the three great families. They want to ensure the status of the three great families and the continued existence of the sorcerers."
"Because of this, countless ordinary people's lives will be sacrificed..."
His voice gradually rose, his emotions building to a peak. "Why should they make decisions for ordinary people? Why should they make decisions for ordinary sorcerers without families?"
Gojo Satoru stared blankly at Geto's unusually determined and excited eyes. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Geto, you've really changed a lot."
What have you experienced in the past six months?
Geto Xia Yu lowered his eyes and suddenly looked at Yuji Yuto who was watching quietly at the side. Thinking of his experiences in Tianyan Sect over the past six months, he smiled bitterly: "Maybe the chunibyo period is over?"
"Are you still going to stop me this time?"
"Wu, I think that for you, you may not particularly care about the interests of your family, right?"
This sentence is a question, but also a sign of friendship...
Gojo Satoru fell silent.
After all, he is not just a person, he is also the current head of the Gojo family.
He is no longer as impulsive as he was when he was young. He is already an adult and has to consider and worry about far more things than Geto Suguru could have imagined.
"Who knows..." Gojo Satoru mumbled, then withdrew his hand and blocked the peeking Itadori Yuji. "But now, those old guys still know that I'm guarding this child. I can't give the child to you easily."
"I know." Xia Yujie smiled, and in Gojo Satoru's shocked eyes, he took out a black rope from his coat: "So, I am also fully prepared."
He smiled and looked at the boy who was stopped by Gojo Satoru: "So, have you made a decision?"
"Will you join me in finding a way to destroy the barrier, which will at least eliminate most of the curses? Or will you continue to eat that finger, allowing the curse to run rampant, and use your own life to eliminate the greatest curse?"
Yuji Itadori opened his mouth.
After a while, he roughly understood the whole story, and his intention gradually shifted towards the man who looked extremely friendly and kind.
He also had some understanding of the so-called senior management.
——He is definitely not a good person!
But no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what was so special about him...
"Can I really do this?" Hisahito clenched his fists.
"It seems that you have already made your own decision." Xia Yujie smiled and looked at Gojo Satoru: "Then leave it to me from now on."
"I'll take you away..."
A black whip shadow suddenly hit Gojo Satoru's figure almost in the blink of an eye, and with a crisp sound like thunder, it hit the ground where Gojo Satoru was originally standing.
Looking at the long dented cement pavement, Gojo Satoru's eyes twitched, and he immediately yelled, "Hey, hey, hey! Are you serious?"
"I've always been serious."
Geto Xia Yu pulled the rope, a smile flashing in his eyes: "Besides, I have wanted to beat you up for a long time."
"Be serious. You don't want to be thought of as someone who deliberately lets you win by those old men, do you? Do you want me to give you a false testimony?"
This time, not only his eyes, but even the corners of Gojo Satoru's mouth began to twitch slightly.
Is your family's perjury torn to the bone?
After hesitating for a long time, Gojo Satoru just gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait!"
Even elementary school students' harsh words are harsher than his...
But just as he finished his words, another whistling sound of wind broke through the air and hit him in the face.
This time, Gojo Satoru failed to dodge in time. The interfered Unlimited Technique absorbed most of the force of the black rope, but the remaining black rope came into direct contact with his palm, causing a burning pain.
He teleported in front of Jie without any thought, wanting to use the advantage of close combat to make the long-range advantage of the rope ineffective, but Geto's reaction speed was extremely fast. As soon as he teleported in front of him, he was greeted by Geto's fist, which had been wrapped around the black rope several times.
A simple, direct blow, straight to the face.
"hiss!"
The pain activated Gojo Satoru's senses, and he gradually became excited with the battle.
The child was right. Jie had really changed, not only in his thoughts, but also in his physical skills, which he was already good at. It was as if he had been reborn.
Gojo Satoru took a few steps back and touched the corner of his mouth. The inside of his lip was bleeding from his teeth, but he swallowed it to save face.
He laughed suddenly, unusually wanton, completely letting go of his true self. His eyes were full of fighting spirit when he looked at Jie, as if he had returned to his youthful days: "Come again!"
Jie's eyes flashed slightly, and the black rope used as a whip was quickly pulled back by the magic power. After twisting and rotating continuously, it formed an unusually straight and thick black stick in Jie's hand.
Whip, fist, stick, Jay has mastered the use of this black rope to the fullest, and has managed to make him look like a master of weapons.
And Jie is good at physical skills, so close combat can naturally bring out his strengths.
He couldn't teleport, but after a few steps, the air seemed to leave behind an afterimage of his rapid progress. He was so fast that he appeared in front of Gojo Satoru almost in a flash. He brought down a stick, but Gojo Satoru narrowly dodged it.
The next second, Gojo Satoru had teleported away from the spot. The speed of the fight between the two was so fast that Yuji Itadori could only see a fast-moving afterimage. At this moment, he had subconsciously widened his eyes, trying to learn something from it.
Until the fighting began to escalate.
It was unknown who was the first to use the technique, but the next second, a spherical He was hit by the black stick and changed its direction, flying towards the roof of the crematorium, which had been deserted by Gojo Satoru, and caused a violent explosion.
Countless cursed spirits suddenly appeared and began to interfere with Gojo Satoru's body, creating an opportunity for Jie's close combat.
The entire crematorium instantly turned into a hell on earth, and combined with the location, it really created a weird atmosphere.
"That black-haired technique is quite interesting..."
At some point, the two scars under Yuji Itadori's eyes opened his eyes, looked at the battle scene, narrowed his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"No Limits and Curse Spirit Manipulation?"
“So handsome!”
Yuji Itadori's eyes lit up, and he no longer cared about Sukuna's noisy voice: "Does Curse Spirit Control mean that you can control cursed spirits?"
Without waiting for Sukuna's answer, he began to mutter to himself, "This ability is amazing! Not only can it dispel cursed spirits, but it can also control them to help itself. Is this the real-life Pokémon Master?"
The stars in my eyes seemed to be popping out.
The cell phone rang suddenly, but Gojo Satoru ignored it.
The two sides temporarily stood about ten meters apart. Gojo Satoru breathed heavily. For him, this kind of evenly matched battle was something he had originally thought he would never experience again after completely mastering Wuxiaxian and Qi...
As a result, life always slaps you in the face mercilessly.
In just half a year, he had gone from being the strongest in the world of curse arts to being beaten twice, and this time the opponent was his best friend from high school.
He could be careless and pretend it didn't matter the first two times, but this time, he didn't want to lose!
His hand had subconsciously raised, the field ready...
But just when he thought he had secured victory, he saw his friend across from him also making a strange hand gesture...
Gojo Satoru's pupils suddenly contracted, then quickly dilated again, and he was extremely excited: "Hahahahahaha~"
That's right, that's Jay. He never doubted that Jay couldn't expand his own territory, but he didn't expect that he would be the first to feel it.
"Okay! Let me be the first person to experience the Jie domain!"
At this moment, the bell rang again suddenly, and the sharp ding-ding-ding sound was extremely harsh.
After receiving two consecutive calls, Gojo Satoru's brows slowly furrowed. He obviously couldn't pretend he didn't hear them anymore...
Gojo Satoru raised his right hand to make a stop gesture. The two men, who had already reached the peak of their fight, stopped their gestures instantly. "Hello?"
"Wu!! Where are you?!!!" Mingming's voice was extremely angry.
"Come here quickly!! Geto Suguru has a new special-grade cursed spirit, we can't hold on any longer!!!"
Gojo Satoru subconsciously glanced at Geto Satsuma, who was standing across from him waiting for him to answer the phone, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Geto Satsuma, are you on your side?"
"It hasn't appeared yet, but this cursed spirit is too strong. It's the red cursed spirit that appeared the day before yesterday! Now we can confirm that it is indeed Geto Suguru's cursed spirit. The problem is that we can't defeat it right now. Come and support us quickly!"
"Huh? So many of you can't beat a special-grade one??" Gojo Satoru's slightly provocative tone was full of sarcasm, and was heard clearly by the sorcerers who were standing back to back around Mingming to resist the red humanoid creature. They were so angry that they fell backwards.
"ha???"
Mingming on the other end of the line was so angry that he could barely hold his axe. "It's time now! Human lives are at stake! Come here quickly!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before Gojo Satoru replied, "But, Jay is with me now?"
Mingming: ...
Sorcerers: ...
grass!
As expected, both Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru are scum!!!
asshole! ! ! !
Actually lied to them!!!
