Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Parasitism?! ...
Yuji Itadori is in mourning today. His grandfather passed away today, or to be more precise, just a few hours ago.
It wasn't an accident or illness, it was just a natural death. This kind of death is normal, but it would be abnormal if healthy predecessors also died today. Itadori Yuji thought of his grandfather's last words before his death.
"You are strong, Hisahito. You need to help others."
"Help others within your ability. Try to save those you can. It's okay to feel lost, and it's okay to not be thanked."
"You must die surrounded by people, not like me."
Now is the time to start, Yuji Itadori thought.
As he was speaking, a strange cursed spirit that didn't look very tall but had eyes all over its body appeared at the stairs. This cursed spirit suddenly appeared from the corridor, staggering and almost reaching Eri Kimoto. To be honest, it scared him.
"I want to go."
Yuji Itadori said it again, looking straight at the two of them, expressing his determination awkwardly but firmly: "I won't cause you any trouble! I will do my best to help you!!"
Compared to Fushiguro Megumi who was still frowning in opposition, Eri Kimoto suddenly raised her eyebrows and showed a playful smile.
She pulled out a dagger from somewhere and started playing with it. The next moment, a silver light flashed, and the cursed spirit's head was blown off. The twisted wailing sound slowly dissipated in the air without even being uttered.
"I think Itadori-san can follow me," Eri Kimoto hooked her finger and retracted her knife, "I'll keep an eye on him."
“…”
“…”
Now is not a good time to argue at all. Fushiguro Megumi turned around with a dark face and continued to rush to the fourth floor, destroying all the cursed spirits that appeared along the way.
"He agreed,"
Qi Ben Eri smiled and waved to the boy behind her: "Hurry up and follow."
The three of them increased their speed again, sprinting along the dim stairwell and corridor.
Megumi Fushiguro and his two jade dogs led the way in front, Eri Kimoto let Yuji Itadori in the middle, and she herself was at the back. It was so easy and effortless to deal with the cursed spirits that were not of high rank on the road.
But what really concerned people was the ominous aura coming from the fourth floor. It was getting stronger and stronger, making people's scalps numb. Fushiguro Megumi couldn't help but feel more anxious. She sighed heavily and glanced behind her subconsciously.
Itadori Yuji followed closely behind him. He must be trying hard to see the appearance of the exorcised cursed spirit. Although his expression was a little strange, his steps were not hesitant at all.
Eri's steps were still as light as a black cat, but her eyes clearly did not miss the cursed spirits that appeared. Every swing of the dagger that seemed to be thrown casually was accompanied by a silver arc, accurately piercing the head of the cursed spirit that turned from an angle and wanted to pounce on her. Her movements were clean and neat, and carried a kind of effortless coldness.
It should be fine... Retracting his gaze, Fushiguro Megumi finally rushed to the fourth floor. The ominous curse aura was already visible to the naked eye! It was in the classroom at the end of the corridor!
"Bang--"
I kicked open the door of the classroom with the words "Paranormal Research Society" written on it, and the scene inside the classroom rushed into my eyes. A male senior in school uniform, Iguchi, was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. There was blood on his forehead, and it seemed that he was dead or alive.
The female senior named Sasaki was leaning against the wall with her mouth covered in fear, and in front of her, a cursed spirit that looked like several cursed spirits fused together had stretched out several hands and was about to grab her!
"Senior!!" Yuji Itadori's eyes were bloodshot, and the speed of his sudden burst was beyond the limit of ordinary people. It was more like a yellow cannonball. Before Eri Norimoto and Megumi Fushiguro could react, he rushed in front of Sasaki.
All the strength of his body seemed to be concentrated in his right leg. This kick was so perfect that it was exaggerated. With a whistling sound, it directly kicked the cursed spirit away.
Although no substantial damage was caused, the cursed spirit did retract all its hands. Then, the agile Yuji Itadori quickly picked up his senior sister by the waist, and picked up the senior who fell to the ground, but retreated to the classroom door in the blink of an eye.
"..." Although Fushiguro Megumi was startled for a moment, he subconsciously commanded the Jade Dog to kill the cursed spirit. Everything was over in just a few breaths.
"Sasaki-senpai, are you okay?!"
"What happened to Iguchi-senpai?"
As Itadori Yuji supported the pale and trembling Sasaki, Fushiguro Megumi and Norimoto Eri looked at each other. They were both shocked by the speed and power that Itadori Yuji had just unleashed. It seemed...
Even the world-class Olympics held every four years is not worthy of him!!
This guy is definitely not an ordinary person!
"...Yuji?" Sasaki finally seemed to have come back to her senses. Her voice was trembling, and her panicked gaze withdrew from the cursed spirit being tormented by the jade dog. Then, she looked tremblingly at the two unfamiliar boys: "You...you guys?!"
"They're here to help!"
Yuji Itadori hurriedly explained, while also checking on Iguchi-senpai's condition: "Senior is still breathing! That's great!!"
Megumi Fushiguro quickly glanced around the classroom and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no other cursed spirits.
As if no one was killed, the young man's frayed nerves relaxed a little. He quickly walked over to the frightened Sasaki, squatted down, and got straight to the point: "Do you have the finger wrapped in the talisman paper?"
Sasaki nodded quickly as if remembering something. He reached into his pocket with a trembling hand and stammered as he spoke, "That's it! As soon as I opened the talisman paper and those things... those monsters appeared!!"
Her face was filled with fear and dread. Sasaki looked like she was about to cry. She quickly pointed her finger at Fushiguro Megumi and said, "This is it! This is it!!"
It was dry, purple, and the nails were a bit long, exactly as described by Geto Suguru. Eri Kimoto was not very interested after taking a look at it. She glanced at Sasaki, who seemed to have no other problems except being scared, and slowly paced and squatted in front of the unconscious wellhead.
"It's a relief that I wasn't eaten," Fushiguro Megumi sighed as she took Ryoumen Sukuna's finger. "It's a miracle."
"Why eat it? Is it delicious?" Yuji Itadori asked politely, "It doesn't look very hygienic."
"...Stop talking nonsense. Of course, you're eating it to gain powerful cursed energy." After checking that Ryoumen Sukuna's fingers were still in good condition, Fushiguro Megumi finally showed a relieved expression. He thought for a moment and then asked, "Where's the talisman paper?"
Although, the talisman paper might still be of some use, otherwise he and Eri Kimoto would attract a lot of cursed spirits on the way back to the high school. Even if it could block a little bit more of their aura, it would be good.
"No... I don't know where it was thrown." Sasaki swallowed, tried to calm down a little, and then pointed to a certain place: "Maybe over there"
"Great! The cursed item has been found, and the seniors are still alive."
The heavy stone in Yuji Itadori's heart fell to the ground. What worried him more now was that Iguchi had not woken up yet. He stood up, quietly moved to the side of Fushiguro Megumi, and asked, "Can I call an ambulance now? Senior Iguchi's injuries look quite scary."
Eri Kimoto squatted in front of the wellhead, and upon hearing this, she stretched out her finger and poked his head with her fingertips.
Everything seemed to have calmed down, but just when everyone thought the crisis was over and relaxed!
A head silently popped out from the ceiling above Fushiguro Megumi's head. Without any warning, this cursed spirit poked its upper body out of the ceiling and opened its huge mouth. It appeared too suddenly and at an incredibly fast speed. By the time Fushiguro Megumi reacted, it was already too late. After a loud bang -
Qi Ben Eri's red pupils suddenly shrank: "Megumi?!!!"
The dust cleared, and there was nothing where Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori had been standing. Thanks to Yuji Itadori's reaction speed, he pounced on Megumi Fushiguro in an instant and took him away from the attack of the sneak attacking cursed spirit. The injured cursed spirit roared and wanted to continue to pounce on the two teenagers, but the next moment it actually knocked them both away. Most of the wall had been demolished, and the dust was flying exaggeratedly.
"Youruhi!!!!!!"
Sasaki's scream was too harsh.
Eri Kimoto tutted at the noise and was about to go to support Megumi Fushiguro, but her arm was tightly hugged by Sasaki, who was still screaming, like a drowning man clinging to a piece of driftwood: "There's... there's another one!!!"
Eri Kimoto frowned and looked in the direction she pointed. It turned out to be the second-level cursed spirit that she saw lurking in the abandoned playground at noon. Isn't it courting death to come and join in the fun at this time?
Without any further hesitation, Eri Kimoto raised her hand and summoned her sister. She had just been thinking about whether to use the reversal technique to help that well mouth, but finally decided not to disturb her sister. But now the situation is completely different. She must deal with the cursed spirit as quickly as possible and then go to help Fushiguro Megumi.
"Eri?"
Rika was still a little confused when she appeared, but after her sister said "Sister, take care of them", she rushed towards the cursed spirit on the other side with a dagger in her hand in a flash.
Her eyes were cold and heartless, and her figure was moving in the corridor like a ghost. After jumping high, Eri Qimoto used the force to stab the dagger in her hand into the eyes of the cursed spirit. The green cursed spirit howled and tried to pierce her body with its claws. Eri Qimoto sneered coldly, and instead loosened her hand, wrapped all the cursed power in her fist, and then smashed it down.
Knowing that her sister was doing well, Rika Kimoto pointed at Iguchi and Sasaki. A gentle white curse quickly enveloped Sasaki, and the bleeding from Iguchi's wound, who had fallen to the ground, visibly stopped. Even his breathing gradually stabilized.
Sasaki also felt his condition recovering, and even the weakness caused by excessive shock seemed to have disappeared a lot. He looked at the girl who appeared like a ghost in disbelief. He could vaguely see that she looked a bit like Eri Kimoto.
'Don't be afraid.'
"It's all right."
Sasaki could still hear the little girl smiling at him saying this, and she really didn't seem that scared anymore.
There were also several explosion-like sounds coming from the rooftop outside. Sasaki could feel that Eri Kimoto's speed was getting faster and faster.
Trying to calm her breathing, she stared nervously ahead. Eri Kimoto was about to kill the monster and looked really strong. Sasaki thought that everything that happened today seemed to be because she insisted on uncovering that thing. She really caused a lot of trouble for everyone. If she could get out alive, she must express her gratitude and apologize.
At this moment, an indescribable feeling of absolute malice and destruction came overwhelmingly from the direction of the rooftop, and it was even more exaggerated than the malice just now!
Qi Ben Eri froze in place, a chill running down her spine and straight to the top of her head. She and her sister suddenly raised their heads and looked towards the rooftop.
At that moment, her mind went blank. Without hesitation, Eri Kimoto jumped out of the large hole she had just made at top speed. Her destination was, of course, the rooftop of the building next door. That's where Megumi Fushiguro was!
...
...
The cool night breeze blew and ruffled the hair of several people on the rooftop, and the whole scene came into view. When Eri Kimoto arrived, she saw Megumi Fushiguro at a glance. He was half-kneeling not far away, covering his chest with one hand, his face as pale as paper, and there was still blood at the corner of his mouth.
Eri Kimoto looked in the direction he was staring at. Standing over there...was that still Itadori Yuji? !
It was clearly Yuji Itadori's body, but at this moment it exuded a completely different aura. Strange black lines appeared on his face and body, and there were two narrow, scarlet eyes.
"The flesh of the cursed spirit is so bland,"
"Where are the humans? Where are the women?"
Even his voice became strange. He was laughing wildly, as if he was excited about returning to the human world and being able to kill people.
...What is going on? !
What happened to Yuji Itadori... Eri Kimoto widened her eyes in surprise. Is it Ryomen Sukuna who appeared now? Yuji Itadori was parasitized?!
"Hello,"
"woman."
Suddenly, without any warning, Yuji Itadori's face, which was occupied by Ryomen Sukuna, suddenly filled his sight. He was so close that his nose was almost touching his.
Itadori...No, this is not Itadori Yuji.
Ryomen Sukuna's grin was joyful yet cruel, and his four eyes stared at her without blinking. Eri Kimoto was frightened by his strange smile that didn't continue. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, and only her heart was beating wildly in her chest, and it seemed that every hair on her body stood up.
Then she saw Ryoumen Sukuna raised his hand,
"...Eri!!!!"
