Chapter 322: Emergency! "Have you discovered...
"Did you find it? Aurora." Gojo Satoru's voice sounded above the player.
"Did you notice it too? Gojo." The player looked at the situation in the ward and squinted his eyes unconsciously.
"Of course." Gojo Satoru, who had already taken off his sunglasses, said in an inexplicable tone, "But when I came here, I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
The victims in the ordinary ward who Elena said should have woken up now had calm expressions and their eyes were all closed. Around them, there were more or less weak but numerous cursed spirits circling.
"I really have to come here in person..." Gojo Satoru closed the door behind him and looked at the numerous cursed spirits, crushing them while thinking, "The people in this ward are awake during the day, but they become like this at night."
If I hadn't come here to observe in person, I would have let these ignorant victims return to being ordinary people.
Gojo Satoru approached the beds and carefully examined the victims' bodies.
"The situation in other wards is the same." While Gojo Satoru was thinking, the player who had checked several wards in succession pushed open the door and told the white-haired boy the bad news.
"The deeper into the hospital, the more cursed spirits ordinary people attract," the player frowned. "When I came here, Elena said that the hospital's patients are placed according to the time they were discovered."
"The closer to the hospital, the later the victims are rescued..."
"A simple and crude transformation." Gojo Satoru suddenly spoke, interrupting the player.
Player: "Hmm?"
"These people have had their cursed energy forms changed by a special spell, making it easier for them to attract the attention of cursed spirits." The usually unruly white-haired boy walked forward, lifted the long hair of the woman sleeping on the bed, revealing the back of her neck, and motioned Aurora to come forward and take a look.
"It seems like there's a phenomenon of cursed energy gathering..." The player stepped forward as instructed, muttering hesitantly.
"Indeed, they're worthy of being the evil cursers that the three great families hunted down. These people have been manipulated by Kamo Kento," Gojo Satoru said coldly as he tugged at Aurora's sleeve and walked out. "And they've been crudely and crudely transformed into disposable consumables."
Judging from the situation in the general ward, these people who had no outstanding conditions in any aspect had their physical conditions changed invisibly, and Kamo Kenroshi had also used special methods to restrict this physical condition, which is why this situation only occurs at night. So... those people in the intensive care unit...
"Then how can we save them?" Following the white-haired boy's force, the player asked in confusion, "Where are we going now?"
"Let's go to the intensive care unit now," Gojo Satoru said, "to see... whether the changes in those people are consistent with my current suspicions."
Player: "Huh?"
What had the white-haired boy discovered? Why had he suddenly come up with this idea? Had he discovered traces of something and was preparing to battle the cursed spirit?
**
When the confused players followed Gojo Satoru to the intensive care unit, they were surprised to find that it was quiet here. There was no scene of sorcerers fighting cursed spirits as the players had imagined.
"What's going on? It's so quiet here?" The player looked at Gojo Satoru with some confusion, but found that the white-haired boy had a confident expression, as if he had expected it.
"...As expected," Gojo Satoru said after seeing the victims in the intensive care unit. "The average level of cursed energy among the patients here is generally higher than that of the patients in the ordinary wards, and they also have traces of curses on their bodies."
“Better than those people out there,” he added.
"It's indeed much more advanced." The player said this as he looked at the clear and obvious curse marks on the NPCs' foreheads. "The traces of cursed energy on their bodies are much clearer than those of the people just now, and..."
"I always feel like there's something inside their heads..." the player murmured.
Aurora was right. There were indeed unusual traces of cursed energy in these people's heads, a bit like a kind of restraint...
Gojo Satoru, who was lost in thought, was suddenly startled. He looked out the window and paused at a certain place.
The player who was trying to wake up the sleeping NPC also inexplicably stopped what he was doing and looked at the white-haired boy with telepathic understanding.
In this area where only players and Gojo Satoru are still active, some things that shouldn't be there have appeared.
…
…
"Oh no! I can't find any interesting clues at all!" After a moment of silence, Gojo Satoru stretched and said loudly, "Let's go back, Aurora!"
"If I go back too late, the moth will start cursing again."
"That's true. There's no quick fix for this problem." The player, stretching in unison, yawned and agreed, "It's best to get your spirits up first and take down that curse caster and his accomplices tomorrow."
"This is even faster—" As he spoke, the player nodded in approval.
"Then let's go quickly! Aurora!" Gojo Satoru put his arm around Aurora's shoulders like a good friend, jumped out of the window at an extremely fast speed, and stepped out a big hole full of gravel on the flat road.
The player who remained unscathed by Gojo Satoru's limitless technique: "..."
Player: "...Since you allowed No Bottom Line to cover me, I will reluctantly forgive you this time, Gojo."
"Eh—, you're only forgiving me reluctantly? I was so careful not to let your feet touch the ground." Gojo Satoru said with a grin, "Aurora, shouldn't you be thanking me?"
"Is it possible... that my inability to touch the ground is an inevitable result?" The player didn't laugh but got angry and subconsciously kicked Gojo Satoru.
It's so funny. The damn white-haired boy didn't even consider whether the player who was being held by his 1.8-meter-tall tall guy was tall enough to step on the ground!
The player's feet are hanging in the air, okay!
"Hehe——" Gojo Satoru grinned, which made the players even more angry.
At this moment, a short but very broad figure suddenly appeared behind the two people who were fighting.
It restrained its aura, concentrated its mind and gathered its energy, and while the two men were too busy to pay attention to their surroundings, it jumped up and delivered a powerful blow!
The mysterious figure that suddenly appeared landed between the player and Gojo Satoru, who happened to have created a gap.
Player: “Wow~”
Gojo Satoru: “As expected—”
"It's actually a big fish!" Looking at the sudden curse spirit with very powerful power, the player and Gojo Satoru clapped hands tacitly. There was no displeasure in their eyes about the unexpected occurrence in the trip, only the joy of discovering a big fish.
Player: "Who are you?"
Gojo Satoru: "Why don't you just tell me your name quickly!"
"You actually dodged this attack?" The cursed spirit in grass-green clothes ignored the two people in front of him and said with some surprise.
"It can talk... and has curse powers... It looks like it must be a special-grade curse spirit," the player said dissatisfiedly. "It seems very confident in its own strength, but... it dares to look down on us like this."
The last time a player was so despised by the enemy was when Weilun came with such a strong force - but at that time, he was more immersed in his own world.
Of course, there is also Byakuran Jesso who wants to become the god of the new world, but that guy initially targeted Tsunayoshi and the others. By the time he finally discovered the terrifying side of the players, his story had already come to an end.
The player shook his head as he recalled the past, suppressed the inexplicable longing in his heart, and shifted his attention to the special-grade cursed spirit in front of him.
Gojo Satoru ignored Aurora's momentary distraction and said, "I didn't expect it to be a rare special-grade cursed spirit. It's really a rare species."
"But you actually came to me so brazenly. It's really surprising... Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Hmph, you little bastards." The unknown special-grade curse spirit snorted coldly and said contemptuously, "I am not those weak guys you met before."
"I, Louhu, am a wise curse spirit born from mankind's fear of the earth!" The one-eyed curse spirit, or Louhu, suddenly laughed wildly, and the hot magma rolled above the volcano on his head, making him look full of danger.
"A cursed spirit imbued with wisdom, born from humanity's fear of the earth..."
The player repeated the one-eyed curse spirit's words and smiled meaningfully. "If you're so powerful, then why did you choose to appear before us in the middle of the night, in a place with no buildings besides this hospital?"
"I'm afraid... you're afraid that we have foreign aid?" the player said with a smile.
One-eyed curse spirit Louhu: “…”
"Hahahaha, Aurora, you're really awesome when you spray venom at others!"
Gojo Satoru's undisguised laughter made the expression on Louhu's face even more ferocious!
"Damn girl, damn Six-Eyes..." Louhu clenched his fists and was not going to continue talking nonsense with these two guys who were experts in spell arts. He had already made a gesture, ready to kill them here.
Originally, he just accepted the advice of the curse master and came here to clean up the mess that the curse master had made.
But I didn’t expect…
Although it followed the curse master's advice to act at night, it happened to run into a student from the Jujutsu High School who came to check on the humans in the middle of the night - the legendary Rokugan Gojo Satoru, and Aurora, the first-level sorcerer who had caused the curse master to suffer several heavy losses.
Not only that, they didn't have any spell tools on them, and even the way they investigated those humans was superficial, like playing house.
"...This is truly effortless!" Louhu laughed heartily, scattering balls of fire gravel and saying, "Today, I will burn you all to ashes right here!"
A mere special-grade cursed spirit actually dares to act so arrogantly...
"Really?" The player smiled slightly, looking at the experience pack that was delivered to his door, and said happily, "Then come and give it a try! Little Bumpkin——"
