Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Special x Field...
In front of the Eiji Juvenile Detention Center in Nishitokyo City.
It was already dark, and the entire juvenile detention center was sealed off. Residents within a 500-meter radius were ordered to evacuate, using excuses like poisoning or a gas leak.
The person in charge of conveying the task was an acquaintance, Mr. Ijichi, who brought four people to the door of the juvenile detention center.
"We confirmed the presence of the cursed fetus approximately three hours ago. When the evacuation guidance reached 90%, we sealed off the facility based on on-site assessment."
"The five inmates of the second dormitory are currently staying there with the cursed fetus. If the cursed fetus fully metamorphoses, it is predicted to become a special-grade cursed spirit."
"Special grade?"
After glancing at her classmates, Norimoto Eri frowned and looked at Ijichi: "This isn't a task we first-years can handle, is it?"
I've been learning about the level classification during this period, and I'm a little surprised by this special-grade level that probably requires cluster bomb carpet bombing. Yuji Itadori: "Isn't the special-grade level very white?"
"Originally, we should have sent a sorcerer of the same level as the curse spirit to carry out the mission."
Yuji Itadori's special case means he has no rank, while Nobara is at level three. Besides Eri Kimoto, the second-level sorcerer, Megumi Fushiguro, explained, "But the only special-level sorcerer in the country, Gojo-sensei, is on a business trip."
"Unfortunately, this line of work is often understaffed, and we often receive difficult tasks," Ijichi pushed his glasses up. "But this is an emergency. You absolutely must not fight. If you encounter a Special Class, you can only flee or die. Your mission is to identify and rescue any survivors."
Even so, this mission was still incredibly dangerous. Eri Kimoto couldn't understand why the higher-ups had sent her and four of her peers to carry it out. Even if the mission was simply to identify and rescue survivors, why would four first-year high school students, who hadn't even finished their first semester yet, be required to carry out this special mission...
The world of sorcery is so short of people that it's a bit unethical.
Eri Norimoto was about to say something, but behind her, the voice of a mother who was isolated outside the juvenile detention center and was crying out about her son A Zheng was too loud. Itadori Yuji was obviously very reacting to this, and his eyes became extremely firm.
"Let's go, let's go save people."
....
....
After Mr. Ijichi put down the tent, the four of them stepped into the door of the second dormitory. Megumi Fushiguro summoned Haku immediately, saying that he could issue a warning when he discovered that the curse was approaching.
After the iron gate on the second floor was opened, what came into view was not a normal dormitory, but a building with a red glow. This was a living domain created by cursed energy. Megumi Fushiguro subconsciously felt that something was wrong. This was the first time he had seen such a large living domain.
"It's like the other world of Silent Hill," Eri Kimoto sighed. "Is this the realm of life?"
Fushiguro Megumi's face was serious: "Yeah."
After briefly explaining the birth area to the other two classmates, they continued to follow Xiaobai's navigation and walked forward. After walking for almost five minutes, a normal hall that was a little more spacious appeared in front of them, and there were three bodies lying on the ground.
The bodies of the three people wearing juvenile detention center uniforms were a bit horrific to look at. Yuji Itadori was not afraid. He walked directly to one of the bodies, reached out to check the name on the man's clothes, and confirmed that he was the son of the woman who had just been crying outside.
"I want to take this body out." Yuji Itadori said with a serious expression: "This is that man's son."
"The face is still recognizable. If we say he's dead without a body, his mother will definitely not accept it." Yuji Itadori was very serious.
"But..." Before Kugisaki Nobara could finish her words, she heard the sneer of the girl next to her, but when she turned her head, she did not see Eri Kimoto's smile.
Eri Kimoto didn't seem to care about the corpse over there. She had already turned her gaze away and put her hand on Xiaobai's head and rubbed it.
Megumi Fushiguro, who expressed her objection, directly pulled Yuji Itadori's hat and pulled him away: "Leave the body here. We still need to confirm the life and death of the remaining two people."
"Don't be ridiculous. The way we came here is too far to turn back. There's no chance of coming back!"
"Who said you were coming back!?"
"The bodies will be left here. We will have to take back the bodies of those we didn't intend to save. I don't have that plan!" Megumi Fushiguro grabbed Yuji Itadori's collar and spoke in a stiff tone.
But this made Itadori Yuji realize that something was wrong. He also grabbed Fushiguro Megumi's collar and said, "What do you mean by someone you didn't intend to save? What do you mean?"
To be honest, he always felt that although Fushiguro Megumi's expression never changed, he was strong and always made people feel at ease. Fushiguro Megumi was the type of guy who looked cold but was actually a very good guy. But what did he just say? What did he mean by someone he had no intention of saving?
"This is a juvenile detention center," said Fushiguro Megumi, looking unhappy. "Before a sorcerer goes on a mission, they'll get all the information about the scene in advance. This man named Okazaki Masaru was driving without a license and hit a girl on her way home from school. It was his second time driving without a license."
Yuji Itadori didn't know this because when they came here, he was sitting in the car and only Megumi Fushiguro read the information carefully.
The two classmates grabbed each other's collars, which was obviously not a friendly behavior. Nobara Kugisaki frowned and thought whether she should go over and persuade them. However, she did not notice that just after Megumi Fushiguro finished speaking, Eri Kimoto, who was squatting down and petting the dog beside her, also stopped for a moment.
"You've always wanted to save people, to point them to the right path to death," Fushiguro Megumi's tone seemed to have increased with anger. "But what if the people you saved took the lives of others in the future?"
"Then why did you save me?" Yuji Itadori also frowned and said loudly: "When you saved me--"
"What are you two doing?!"
Kugisaki Nobara finally couldn't help herself and shouted, "Is this the time to quarrel?! Can you at least consider the time and place?!"
But Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro were still angry and had not calmed down at all. They wanted to save everyone and save those who were worth saving. This topic made it seem like neither of them would show any signs of giving in. Eri Kimoto rubbed Xiaobai's head lightly, stood up, and glanced in the direction of the two men.
Of course, she felt that what Fushiguro Megumi said was right.
There are good people and bad people in the world. Some people are worth saving, and of course there are also trash who can just die. Like this teenager who drove without a license and hit someone, it's fine if he died, but in an already dangerous situation, he had to risk even more danger to take his body away. Yuji Itadori is a bit too naive, no, a bit too much of a protagonist.
Just when the two were arguing, Qi Ben Eri suddenly! Suddenly realized that something was wrong!
Eri Qimoto raised her head instantly, her pigeon-blood-red pupils shrank sharply, and for a moment, a creepy sense of crisis appeared behind her!
Without the slightest hesitation, her body's instinct was faster than any thought. Eri Kimoto loosened her hand on Xiaobai's head, and a silver knife flashed in her hand. The dark red cursed power attached to the knife, and she stabbed behind her without holding back!
“Clang——”
“Ouch!!”
The harsh sound of the clash was accompanied by Xiaobai's warning howl. This unprecedented warning cry from her own Shikigami made Fushiguro Megumi turn around suddenly.
"Varied--?!"
"Bang--"
The argument between Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori came to an abrupt end, and Nobara Kugisaki, who was walking towards them, was also stunned. After the smoke cleared, what appeared in their eyes was not only Eri Inori, who was protecting Xiaoshiro and retreating in a panic, but also a special-grade cursed spirit!
The special-grade creature slowly revealed its complete appearance. Compared to its pale face with no nose, no lips, only a pair of big eyes and teeth, its lower body looked like the shell of an unknown insect. However, it was more likely that it would continue to hatch and turn into other appearances. Its expression was not good-looking, probably because one of its claws was pierced.
However, this injury was not something that bothered it too much. With a puzzled expression, this newly hatched special-grade cursed spirit quickly healed itself and then looked at the four young men in front of it with sullen faces.
An indescribable heavy pressure frightened several people so much that they stood still for a moment. Even if they wanted to move, their bodies' instincts made it difficult for them to move at all under such locked gaze. This was the special grade!
"Special...grade...special grade!" Wild Rose got goosebumps. She slowly reached for the equipment bag at her waist and gripped her weapon tightly, her knuckles turning white.
The claws of the Cursed Child Dai Tian have recovered, and it seems to focus more on Qi Ben Eri, the human who stopped it from killing the Jade Dog and caused it to be injured. However, the girl who shook her hand seemed to be looking at it, with the same fierce eyes.
This was simply not a level that he could currently compete with his peers. Fushiguro Megumi immediately shouted, "Run! Run apart!"
The young man did not slacken his hands, and he formed seals with his hands in an instant. The jade dog Xiao Hei who appeared beside him also roared, as if he wanted to attract the special-level attention together with Xiao Bai, but this was obviously not enough.
The special grade curse spirit took a deep breath, opened its mouth and spit out a yellow light, just like the action of the Great Fireball Technique, releasing an energy bomb.
It wasn't a spell at all, it was simply the release of cursed energy, but the power was so strong that it blasted a deep gully in the ground.
Having confirmed its own strength, the cursed spirit showed a rather evasive expression and tore the insect shell of its lower body apart. With a hissing sound, it revealed its fully formed legs in loincloth.
"Tiger Stick?!"
At the critical moment, he twisted his body to avoid the cursed wave of the cursed spirit, but unfortunately he did not avoid it completely. Itadori Yuji was hit hard against the wall in the distance, covering his shoulder and groaning.
"Resonance!" On the other side, Nobara Kugisaki also seized the opportunity and without any hesitation, she hammered away a long nail with her hammer. The long nail hit with all her strength, but it only left a scar on the body of the cursed spirit, which was healed immediately.
Attracted by this, the curse spirit turned to Wild Rose, and an even larger wave of curse spirits was about to burst out from its open mouth. The speed was so fast that people had no time to dodge. Megumi Fushiguro, who was closer to her, almost flashed to her side at a rapid speed and pulled her to avoid the attack narrowly.
In just two breaths, the power of this special-grade curse spirit was clearly visible. The giggling special-grade curse spirit also knew the difference in strength and seemed to be laughing at their arrogance.
He could crush these young men with his flesh and blood alone. The special-grade cursed spirit Dai Tian, who was hiding beside Fushiguro Megumi, knocked him away with a punch, and kicked Nobara away the moment her hammer came down. Eri Kimoto quickly grabbed Nobara with her cursed force line.
Seeing that one of his colleagues had just stood up and was punched by Dai Tian, and another was spitting blood and seemed to be still trying to get up with difficulty, they were almost in a dangerous threat of death. Even if he was unwilling, Yuji Itadori could only say to Ryoumen Sukuna in his body: "Hey! If I die, you will die too!"
"Hahaha," Ryoumen Sukuna was enjoying the show, "I refuse. After all, even if you die, I still have eighteen clones."
At the same time, the suppressed and beaten Fushiguro Megumi struggled to form a seal again, even if it could only delay for a second. He looked at Eri Kimoto, his eyes filled with anxiety. This was a special level. At this time, would she call Sister Rika for help? If Sister Rika appeared -
However, the scene he saw shocked him greatly. He hoped that Eri Motomoto did not summon her sister!
The black-haired girl stood where she was, as if oblivious to the fall of her companions and the approaching death. Her eyes were fixed on the terrifying cursed spirit that was closing in on her. There was no fear or panic in her eyes, and she even smiled.
All he had was a focus that burned to the extreme. His body was trembling slightly, not because of fear, but because the violent curse power in his body was being compressed in an unprecedented way, as if something was clamoring to appear.
"It's easier to comprehend a territory in moments of life and death."
Geto Suguru's voice appeared in my head again.
The feeling this time is even clearer than the last time I faced the parasitic version of Ryoumen Sukuna.
It's true that her sister and brother-in-law are very strong, just like her backers, but relying on them will only make her a useless and weak guy. She doesn't want this. Qi Ben Eri wiped the blood from her nose and smiled, thinking that maybe now is the time to use her own strength to prove that she is also a strong person who can catch up with her sister and brother-in-law!
The claws were condensed with bright yellow cursed energy even greater than before, carrying a terrifying pressure. The fist of the special cursed spirit smashed down on the head of Qiben Eri, who looked like she was about to give up resistance. The shadow enveloped Qiben Eri.
At the moment when the fist was getting closer and closer to her,
"The field... expands."

The author has something to say:
Damn it, I had period cramps the past two days and couldn't update, I will try to update daily this week!!
ps. This field is an unfinished version. Although I have the help of two special teachers and a special brother-in-law, it feels too exaggerated to fully open the field at this age... After typing this sentence, I suddenly felt very funny. I felt that I could see Eri waving her hand: Yes, this is my network.
