Chapter 83: Day 83
Chapter 83
The Shin-Foshiguro family is either eating or on their way to eat.
The atmosphere inside the house can make outsiders who see all this feel pure warmth and liveliness. Soft lights are reflected in every corner, and bubbles are bubbling at the bottom of the pot.
People, from adults to children, gathered around the hot pot table, chatting and laughing, temporarily forgetting the troubles of life, enjoying the joy of food and friendship...
What the hell!
There were six people in the room (and Yato), so they had at least six hundred eyes in total. (Itadori Kaori accounted for two hundred, and little Yujitsu was counted as negative one hundred.)
Kanako, who prides herself on being extremely smart, chooses to use deterrence tactics to the extreme.
She was wearing a combat cheongsam and had a three-section staff hanging around her neck.
As soon as he entered the room, Yuji Itadori politely bowed and greeted him, then asked curiously, "What is that?"
Kanako: "This is a necklace I specially ordered."
Kaori Itadori: “…” Nonsense.
"This is Kaibab's father, the long-lost Kaibab..." Kanako heard Fushiguro Megumi cough loudly and quickly corrected him, "He's the long-dead dad."
Megumi Fushiguro: It would be better if you didn’t change it!
Yuji Itadori: "How amazing! My dead father can be resurrected!"
Fushiguro Shijiro chose to remain silent.
But he didn't just sit there and do nothing. He took Gojo Satoru and his Soul-Releasing Sword and combined it with the chain in his coat pocket.
The chain in his hand is getting longer and longer. As long as one end is not observed, the length of the chain can be extended infinitely... This is the cursed Thousand Mile Lock.
Kaori Itadori calmly sat down with Hisahito, watching the ingredients being put into the hot pot, her brain seemed to be connected to the universe.
Gojo Satoru used chopsticks to mix the seasoning. "Feel free to tell me what you want to eat, little Hisahito. By the way, I sincerely recommend the hot brain flower."
Yuji Itadori lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Can I have a bottle of yogurt?"
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Itadori Kaori stood up and quickly said, "I'll go buy it."
"No, you don't." Kanako stopped her. "What a coincidence! We have a huge stock of yogurt at home!"
Fushiguro Megumi immediately went into the kitchen and brought out two boxes of yogurt with different flavors: "Here you go."
Yuji Itadori's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Sea Urchin!"
He also thanked the others sweetly: "Thank you also to the clam siblings and the kelp."
“Eat hotpot, have fun!”
The part of Kanako's heart that was reserved for all the well-behaved children was about to melt.
Fushiguro Shier glanced at her and said, "Put away your idea of kidnapping children."
"? What are you talking about!?" Kanako exclaimed, "Don't make weird jokes in front of little Yuujin. I'm the big sister who loves and cares for all the cute pups in the world equally!"
Fushiguro Shier took the opportunity to pick up some meat: "It's almost the same idea."
Megumi Fushiguro: I inexplicably want to say "support".
Yuji Itadori scratched his frizzy hair, trying to understand the meaning.
"Like", "love children", so that's it...
Then he smiled widely and said, "I'll like Sister Clam very much, too."
Kanako: !!! (covering her chest)
System: Damn, a straight-talking social genius who can attack Kanako appears!
The Fushiguro family collectively lost their real names tonight, feeling half happy and half sad.
The good news is that little Hisahito has passed the test of repeated observation and testing, and now it can be confirmed that he has no talent for spells and cannot see curse spirits.
Evidence: Gojo family's cheating spoilers about Rokugan, and the system flying around in front of him without any reaction.
The boy's naturalness and cheerfulness don't seem fake, and he exudes a simple childishness from beginning to end.
Judging from his behavior, he speaks clearly and is polite, and he is definitely a child who has received a good education.
What is worrying is: Why did Kaori Itadori raise Yuji like a normal mother?
What is her purpose? Is it related to her identity as a curse master?
As a result, Yuji Itadori received overwhelming favor from the entire audience. Kanako would fight for meat between him and Fushiguro Shinobu, and Gojo Satoru would share Fushiguro Megumi's embarrassing stories with him.
"...Okay, stop talking." Megumi Fushiguro dodged Yuji Itadori's overly hot gaze.
In the foggy living room, Yuji Itadori burped softly.
Finally, the highlight is here.
Kanako took brains out of the refrigerator and threw a full plate into the pot.
While stirring the brain flower in the soup like a wizard pounding medicine, she said to the person beside her: "Auntie, why don't you move your chopsticks? I'll give you the next plate."
Itadori Kaori said with a hint of meaning, "It seems like you guys really love brain-shabu... You even made full preparations in advance."
Kanako stared at her intently, concentrating all the oppressive aura in her body and releasing it in one direction.
"Auntie Yuji, please sit down." She moved her lips.
Kanako: "Don't you like eating brain flowers?"
Kaori Itadori is just one of the identities of Suture, and Kanako has previously revealed information about Suture to the team.
For example, Suture also exists in history, being the "stain on the Kamo family" and "the worst sorcerer in history."
In order to prevent Maki, Mayi, and the rebellious Kong Shiyu from being involved in the arrest dispute, they were arranged to be completely evacuated in advance.
The entire stage is handed over to the three giants who have unreliable personalities but are extremely reliable in fighting... and Xiaohui.
They are the three top figures in different fields of the magic world and even the world... and Xiaohui who has not grown up yet.
Megumi Fushiguro was the first to notice that something was wrong with Yuji Itadori.
The attention of the others was more or less focused on the suture line. While Kaori Itadori didn't move at all, Yuji Itadori rubbed his eyes inexplicably sleepily and fell backwards while shaking his whole body.
Fushiguro Megumi quickly caught him and checked his breathing and heartbeat: "He is asleep, or possibly unconscious."
Fake banquets always end quickly. Who would have thought that the first person who couldn't hold back and took action would be "Itadori Kaori".
Kanako's Youyun "necklace" and Fushiguro Shigeru's Wanli Lock were thrown at her at the same time, wrapping around her arms several times.
Gojo Satoru went to check on Yuji Itadori's condition, and the black sunglasses he took off were thrown into the hands of Megumi Fushiguro.
"It's a technique that was laid long in advance. The binding conditions cannot be known until it is officially activated."
"From all the information that can be revealed, it seems that Hisahito has established a physical contract with a certain curse..."
He gently tapped Yuji Itadori's head with two fingers, and soon, a pattern composed of talismans appeared on Yuji's forehead.
Kanako secretly clenched her fists. She didn't want to think about what mystery was hidden behind this strange pattern.
Making a pact with a curse doesn't sound like a good thing.
There's no way it was a contract signed by Hisahito, so it's Suture's doing...
Kanako questions all constraints, both active and cursed, equally.
Oh, except for some individual techniques (excluding Xiaojie).
She herself was an exception, as almost all curses were crushed and defeated by her. (Real person: nodding.jpg)
"You two look alike... Aren't you little Yuuhito's biological mother?" Kanako asked in a deep voice, "If you're his mother, why did you use him?"
Kaori Itadori looked indifferent and waited for her to finish her speech.
Kanako: "Or... is your love for your child also a facade?"
After considering for a moment, Yuji Kaori slowly said, "Your question itself contains many flaws."
"I have never denied my love for this child... There is no doubt that he is a child conceived and nurtured by me personally in my love."
Yuji Kaori sneered, "Could it be that you sorcerers have arbitrarily set rather harsh standards for even the definition of love—such an emotional thing?"
"Her answer was evasive," said Fushiguro Shigeki.
Yuji Kaori smiled and retorted, "The same is true of your questions."
"This feeling is strange. I haven't made any major mistakes in all these years, and I didn't even notice when you guys found out about me..."
"But you found me. That's a combination of terrifying action and organization." Yuji Kaori said calmly, "Is this a coincidence?"
She asked herself and answered: "This can't be a coincidence."
"The only two possibilities are: one is that you used some kind of prophetic technique to predict my whereabouts in advance, or two, after revealing the truth in the future, you chose to return to this time and try to kill me as soon as possible."
She took the opportunity to scan the faces of everyone present, admiring the expressions written on them.
"It seems I was right." Itadori Kaori nodded slightly, then announced, "Itadori Yuji is my hostage from now on."
Her state and tone were full of confidence, as if she was sure that she could escape from the multiple threats.
"You...!" Kanako's mind raced, "Gojo Satoru, can't you tell what kind of possession technique she's using?"
"Well, if I hadn't known the answer earlier, I wouldn't have been able to tell that she was occupying a body."
The same should be true of Geto Suguru in a certain parallel world, a body-stealing technique that even the six eyes cannot see through...
Wait, something's wrong.
Kanako quickly pushed her thoughts forward, all the way to the basic knowledge of spells.
The ritual is engraved on the body, so what the six eyes can easily see is always the body and not the soul.
After Suguru Geto took over Suguru's body, Suguru was also able to use the cursed spirit manipulation technique. Therefore, the true nature of her ability is actually...
"Put a part of the original body into another body, and then complete the possession through processes such as occupation and assimilation." Kanako finalized.
Gojo Satoru clapped his hands: "Yes, it's just as we speculated before."
"What's under that skull with that dotted line on the forehead? It must be the brain that was replaced."
He tapped his left hand against his right: "As the saying goes, you are what you eat. Brain flower is exactly the same as yours, so you should like it."
Yuji Kaori deliberately interrupted, "You care about humans more than I thought."
She looked at Kanako, "When I first met Yuuji, even if I allowed such a dangerous existence to remain, I would not act until he lost consciousness."
Then he shifted his gaze to the area between Gojo Satoru and Fushiguro Shijiro: "You all acquiesced to the thoughts and actions of that white-haired girl, which means she is the organizer of this action."
"Your kindness, or cowardice, will hurt you." Kaori Itadori slowly began to talk about Yuji's "role".
"He is a child I personally raised—as a vessel for Ryoumen Sukuna."
As we all know, when a person tirelessly carries out his plan, it often means that he is definitely bound by some kind of constraints.
But self-exposure has its advantages, because it can ensure that what the person says is definitely the truth.
So the three members of the Brain Flower Arrest Team and Xiao Hui patiently listened to Yuji Kaori talk about an experiment that started in the Edo period...
“…” Kanako’s eyes gradually narrowed into slits.
An hour later.
Fushiguro Shiori knocked on Kanako's head.
Kanako suddenly woke up: "What? Is that nonsense story finally over?!"
A well-shaped expression appeared on Yuji Kaori's forehead: "You're talking nonsense...?"
What did you take her perfect plan for?
Gojo Satoru yawned and stretched out his arms heavily. "How can you be so long-winded? The hot pot has gone cold, and the brains in the pot have been reincarnated thirty times."
Kanako opened a bottle of strawberry yogurt and drank it "tons, tons, tons" and asked, "Is there anyone who has listened to the whole thing and can give a brief summary?"
She looked at the awake Fushiguro Shijiro.
"Oh." Fushiguro Shier said with a frown, "I was distracted and didn't hear it."
"Unreliable man!" Kanako shouted.
At this time, the very reliable minor, Megumi Fushiguro, stood up silently, cleared her throat, and said in a childish voice at a very fast speed:
"What she meant was that she spent a lot of time finding the technique, setting the bindings, and signing the contract, while omitting many ambiguous experimental hypotheses and processes."
"The final practical result was to give birth to a child in a female body, to bear the curse of Ryomen Sukuna, and to try to win Ryomen Sukuna over to become a useful force."
"About the same."
Kanako frowned and shouted in disgust, "How despicable!"
Kaori Itadori's eyes widened when she heard this.
Why does the content summarized by Megumi Fushiguro sound like a story outline full of loopholes?
But don't panic, it's not a big problem.
"If Hisahito died today, the curse connected to it would cause a riot."
"Just imagine, a container that can perfectly absorb Ryoumen Sukuna's cursed power—even if it falls into the hands of the General Management Department, it will become a very useful item."
Kaori Itadori smiled calmly and gently.
She was convinced that she had grasped the three people's weaknesses, which was their bottom line.
From the individual life of a man named Yuji Itadori to the interests of all human beings, no matter which side they choose, it is enough to make them hesitate.
"How about we talk about a new deal?"
"Trade? Are you worthy of it?!"
With a crisp "crack", the glass shattered and fragments flew everywhere, hitting the living room floor in all directions.
The humanoid cursed spirit with long blue hair fell to the ground silently. It laughed like a madman and raised its third finger towards Kaori Itadori with disdain.
"Eh, what a disgusting soul! It's polluting the eyes and ears of Kanako-sama and me."
Kanako was surprised to see such a standard Geto family photo-taking gesture.
What’s going on? She hasn’t had time to catch the real person in this world yet!
Kanako quickly checked the system background and saw 99+ messages sent unilaterally from the bound cursed spirit Zhenren (the messages were received but blocked).
The last one stops at the surprise emoticon package where it accidentally discovered that it could find Kanako through positioning.
And special tips marked in red.
[System prompt: The current cultivation value is close to 100 points. In order to prevent the energy generated by the wish at the moment of reaching the maximum value from disrupting the world balance, the early and slow release of wishes is enabled by default.]
[Your wish has been confirmed, parallel worlds are merging...]
"Kanako~" After mocking the stitches, the real person excitedly moved closer to Kanako.
"Can I kill her? Can I? Can I?" Zhenren rubbed his hands expectantly, the collar and dog tag around his neck sparkling like his eyes.
"What's that word, moral kidnapping?" The real person's ability to learn is incredibly fast. "She actually tried to challenge you with her words. Lady Kanako, why don't you just give her to me?"
The real person said proudly, "Because I don't have any morals at all!"
Kanako: "Yeah, that's right!"
After observing the true identity of the real person, Kaori Itadori's expression finally couldn't hold back.
In front of him is Gojo Satoru, one of the strongest in the world of curses; behind him is Fushiguro Shigeru, the pinnacle of human flesh; above him is Kanako, whose soul is unfathomable; and below him is a special-grade humanoid curse spirit, whose technique is suspected to be directly related to the soul.
There was hardly any fight she could have won without cheating.
As for the only one who could be defeated, Megumi Fushiguro...she would probably have died before she could touch him.
Noose stared deeply at the ceiling.
She began to think about the poetry and distant future of life, and non-existent memories gradually emerged in her mind.
She stood under the city wall, invincible, until one day, a head with a diameter of more than ten meters popped out from behind the wall.
There is not just one head, but four giant heads.
That day, Nozomi finally recalled the fear of being dominated by the powerful, and the humiliation of facing a group of people with inferior abilities...
She's not going to be a villain anymore! Damn sorcerer!
【Author’s words】
The abducted real person gradually became a decent person (buhi)
Since Aunt Juan is now in the shell of Tiger Stick Mommy, the third person is her.
A short ending made me play my favorite giant and JOJO meme (satisfied)
