Chapter 164: The High Curse Sukuna-chan——hi～……
Hmm, it's suddenly time for the mandatory selection process...
Fushimi Kyoji felt inexplicably uneasy, especially when everyone's attention was focused on her.
As if worried about the lack of chaos, Gojo Satoru surveyed the area that trapped them. "It's a fairly complete area. If we don't deploy a lethal field, it's essentially impossible to escape unscathed."
"The newly revealed special-grade cursed spirit can already deploy its domain. This isn't ruled out as being due to the excessive negative energy surrounding this area, but I believe the main factor is the binding effect."
"...bound?" the player repeated.
Gojo Satoru raised his hand to push back his sunglasses, hiding the look beneath. His tone remained unaffected by the nervousness, "In short, it must abide by the agreement in exchange for great power."
From the context of Gojo Satoru, players understand that this seems to be a way to improve their abilities by strictly adhering to restrictions.
"Don't worry. Based on the current intelligence, we are safe until we make our 'choice'."
Geto Suguru was paying attention to the players' emotions out of the corner of his eye, but suddenly heard his name being mentioned.
"Personally, I think the person who should leave is either Geto-san or Gojo-san."
The blond sorcerer spoke at a normal pace, his pale face proving he wasn't immune to the effects of being in the domain. "These two are undoubtedly the strongest among us. Once we're out of the domain, we can try to break it from the outside."
Obviously, the 'they' that Nanami Ken mentioned did not include the Warlock Killer who was also trapped in the area.
"...Tsk." The man who discovered this couldn't help but click his tongue.
Fushimi Kyoki noticed that Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu beside her were silently approaching her direction.
The next second, a shadow appeared in front of the player.
"Kid, would you consider me?" He lowered his gaze and directly introduced himself without any shyness, bargaining with half-truths, "You're right up my alley. I can charge you less."
Seeing the player just staring at him, he halfheartedly created a flirtatious demeanor: "How about giving you a 20% discount?"
It turns out it’s just a discount…
"I'll satisfy you. When it comes to pleasing women, I believe I'm much better than a clueless boy." He followed it up with a confirming 'Hmm?' and leaned forward slightly, suppressing the other person's aggressive aura. He glanced at the people in the technical college and said, "Consider it?"
The player didn't continue listening to what the other party said next.
——Geto Suguru covered the player's ears in advance to prevent her from hearing things she shouldn't hear.
By tilting his head back slightly, he could barely see Geto Suguru's calm expression, with no sadness or joy, and the silent lip movements he made to Shinji.
Players often see Gin with similar lip shapes. Since he acts with the opponent, he is often accompanied by the roar of explosions. As a result, even if his ears are covered by Geto Suguru, players can still guess roughly.
That lip shape says—
"……dross."
The ball-haired boy lowered his head with a kind smile on his face and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"No." This is probably the only thing I can say at this time.
The action, which seemed a little intimate and exceeded social distance, suddenly disappeared when Geto Suguru withdrew his hand at the right time.
Gojo Satoru, oblivious to the undercurrents, sensed the discussion was drawing to a close and urged, "This Cursed Spirit Realm feels so sickening! I can't wait to get out and blast it to pieces."
Just when the player's choice was about to be finalized and the conflict between Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru was about to arise, the man who had previously frankly admitted that his lifelong dream was to be a gigolo spoke again.
In a tone that everyone would think they were hallucinating, she casually said, "Then I'll be the mistress."
The effect was like a bolt of thunder out of the blue, making the surroundings immediately silent.
"...What?" After a long while, Gojo Satoru uttered a short questioning sound that was difficult to understand.
He was confused and had no idea what this person was suddenly talking about.
The man who abandoned the Zen Temple surname didn't think what he said was a big deal at all. He gave the special cursed spirit in the center of the area a not-so-friendly smile: "Anyway, didn't they say you can only take one person away?"
The player pondered, "Huh...it seems they didn't mention the exact number of people."
Gojo Satoru was still in shock from the other party's words, and didn't even care about Geto Suguru's barely detectable nod.
"I thought only the Kamo family was into this whole conniving thing..." If it weren't for the domain, Gojo Satoru would have been unable to stand it and walked away in the next second. "I never thought the Zenin family would also embrace this feudal custom."
"Whether it's dating or marriage, it should only be with one person, right?"
Listening to the innocent speeches of his peers, Geto Suguru almost wanted to warn them.
The most important thing now is to find a way to get out of this field. Where has the divergent thinking gone?
The player who believed it was feasible tried to convince the curse spirit with sincerity in his eyes: "As you can see, my love tree has many buds!"
"……"quiet.
The power of the special curse spirit suddenly erupted, and the overflowing murderous intent rushed towards them. The exposed skin even had the illusion of being cut by a knife.
The inhuman being became increasingly agitated, as if it would completely abandon its disguise at any moment and reveal its true ferocious face.
I'm angry!
"Just kidding!" The player immediately slid to his knees.
"It seems to be constrained, requiring it to complete a fixed process before it can attack us," Xia Yujie analyzed. "But if this continues for too long, there's no guarantee it won't run out of patience and directly violate the constraints. As long as we're in an area where our attacks are guaranteed to hit, we'll always be at a disadvantage."
This means that players must make a choice immediately.
Even if they don't know if it will work.
Geto Suguru suddenly looked at the player.
Kento Nanami and Yuu Haibara are just first-year students who have just enrolled and are obviously unable to fight against special-grade cursed spirits.
The chances of him and Gojo Satoru being chosen are equally high.
At a critical moment, the player's way to save the situation is -
The player who had been kneeling obediently suddenly raised his hand like a good student: "Well, I've thought it over. I'm going to choose the person who leaves with me..."
The area suddenly fell silent after the player's final words fell.
Eyes from different directions all look towards one place, waiting for the player's choice.
Fushimi Kyoji pointed directly at Gojo Satoru, and Geto Suguru's drooping eyelashes trembled as he watched the players' movements out of the corner of his eye.
Gojo Satoru watched as the hand pointing at him moved down a few inches, landing at the height of his arms.
"Ryomen Sukuna. I choose Ryomen Sukuna." The player finished his prepared speech in one breath, "Then please complete the bondage."
“…”
Geto Suguru took a step forward, frowned, and grabbed the player's wrist.
As a result, players saw an unreal red line appear on their wrists at some unknown time.
The other end of the line...
The fingers of Ryomen Sukuna in Gojo Satoru's arms floated against gravity, and the rich cursed energy in his vision gradually turned into large pieces of white bones.
As if sensing the presence of fear, the special-grade cursed spirit trembled and crawled on the ground uncontrollably.
Sitting on a throne made of bones, the man looked down from above, his scarlet eyes flashing with contempt.
That is... the King of Curses.
The hand resting on the white bones drooped naturally, with a red line on the wrist that was inconsistent with his temperament.
"Curse?" He placed one hand against his face and chuckled softly, "Consider it a reward for helping me return to the world... Die."
The invisible slash instantly shredded the annoying red line and appeared in front of the player in the blink of an eye.
A strong wind blew past the side of the player's face, and he subconsciously closed his eyes. The dull sound of a knife entering flesh filled his ears.
Neat pieces of meat fell and piled up...
The special cursed spirit that was exorcised in an instant slowly dissipated into the air.
A crack appeared in the area of their vision, revealing the light from the outside world.
'Click'
Silent cracks crept up the realm, and the realm that trapped them suddenly shattered.
The special-grade cursed spirit disappeared, and Ryomen Sukuna's figure became thin in an instant. He himself did not seem to care, and calmly looked down at the sorcerer who was standing in front of him intact.
The player was certain that this was the first time since the other party appeared that he had looked someone in the eye instead of glancing at them sideways.
Ryoumen Sukuna said indifferently, "You're holding your head high."
The player, realizing his implication, asked with genuine and offensive sincerity, "Are you... the Emperor?"
