Chapter 190: Curse High Occasion Desire? Appetite?
"It doesn't feel sharp at all." The player touched the Amasakihoko, and the man didn't stop her.
This strange weapon is much blunter than a knife. Even if you press your fingertips on it and apply a little force, it won't leave any marks.
For a cursed tool, it's far too 'harmless'.
"Hmm..." The expensively purchased cursed weapon was casually tossed into the arms of the person in front of him. He gave the player a vague, noncommittal response, "It's not meant to kill, but it's a spear that can be of vital use in a critical moment."
What are you talking about?
"Leaving?" He saw the player suddenly lower his head to check his phone, and probably guessed that it was news from the Polytechnic College, so he understood.
"Hmm..." The player was distracted to deal with the opponent.
After browsing the content above, the player looked up and showed him the screen: "Can the training for the next few days be postponed?"
"Senior Wu has organized a two-day hot spring trip for everyone from the high school." The player gave him a victory sign.
"Hiroshima?" He took the phone from Tenshoko and accurately glimpsed the address from the phone that flashed before his eyes. His tone was inexplicable, and the traces of smile on his lips deepened. "...Got it."
Eh?
The player was let go very quickly.
Players thought it would take some time.
Geto Suguru was performing a purification mission nearby. Based on the shared location sent by the other party, the player saw a young man standing alone at the cordon from a distance.
Ordinary people around were evacuated in advance by auxiliary supervisors. The player raised his hand, crawled under the cordon, and walked in front of Geto Suguru.
"Jie!" Seeing the other party's eyes subconsciously open slightly in surprise, the player continued uncertainly, "...or should I add senior?"
He smiled.
"Don't be so reserved, just stay as you are." The gentle senior said to the player.
The player suspected that he might have done something stupid without realizing it, but the other party was considerate enough not to point it out.
After all, the hand on his lips and his eyes revealed a light-hearted expression, which was completely different from what Geto Suguru showed, as if nothing had happened.
The other party did not bring it up, and the player did not ask any further questions.
He tilted his upper body and looked behind Geto Suguru openly. His monocle scanned and restored the energy fluctuations at the scene, resulting in a gradually weakening energy reaction.
"It seems... it's over?" The player blinked and asked the sorcerer in charge of the task in front of him for confirmation.
Before the players arrived, a one-sided crushing battle ended with an overwhelming victory for one side.
"Well, it's just a newly born first-level cursed spirit. It didn't take much effort." He said calmly, and stretched out his hand to lead the player to a scene away from the large pool of cursed spirit blood.
Watching the purple blood gradually dissolve into nothingness, the player followed Geto Suguru's footsteps a little late. Thinking of his current rating of only a fourth-level sorcerer, he repeated quietly, "Only a first-level..."
"Hmm?" He looked back in confusion, then his narrow eyes curved uncontrollably, as if amused by the player's tone, and even his voice was tinged with a hint of laughter. "Are you expressing dissatisfaction?"
"I believe that Fushimi's current talent has far surpassed that of a fourth-level sorcerer." He feigned contemplation, pondering until he had fully appreciated the gaze he was receiving. Then he spoke slowly, "I believe that in the near future, I might have the opportunity to recommend Fushimi for a promotion, huh?"
"Even if I'm an ordinary person?" the player raised the last word in his voice.
He chuckled and repeated affirmatively: "Even ordinary people."
"Facing the curse head-on, without fear, without running away, without being timid... In my opinion, Fushimi is very suitable for the profession of sorcerer."
Well, if the cursed spirit suddenly appears, the player will probably still be scared.
but.
Considering that the other party is as talented as Gojo Satoru, since Geto Suguru said so, these words probably... don't hold much water?
It seems that there is no need to think about changing careers and experiencing other professions after graduation!
"Ah..." The player slowly raised his hand, "So you asked me to come?"
The surrounding buildings were reduced to ruins in the previous battle. Geto Suguru led the players to the only building still standing in sight.
When you reach the highest point, you can see everything below clearly.
—Including curses moving from all directions toward where they landed.
It seemed as if something was vaguely attracting them and gathering towards the source.
The player sees his own confusion in Geto Suguru's eyes.
"To prevent our hot spring trip from being interrupted by unexpected missions, we decided to do a thorough cleanup during the final wave of cursed spirits at the end of summer," he said with a smile. "Wu has probably dealt with all the cursed spirits in the east by now."
"Without a technique as convenient as 'Cang'' for expediting travel, I'll have to seek external assistance." He placed his hands together, opened one eye, and observed the player's expression, making a gesture full of weakness. He asked the one who knew the answer well, "Will Fushimi be angry if I use him?"
oh!
The player is Geto Suguru's 'bait' for catching the cursed spirit!
Speaking of which, Rainbow Dragon can also travel...
His eyes involuntarily followed the dragon-shaped cursed spirit released by Geto Suguru.
No longer the obedient mount players had seen, the Rainbow Dragon, with its cursed and ferocious expression, opened its massive mouth, quickly approached the attracted cursed spirit, and bit down fiercely...
"Huh?"
The player's eyes went dark.
Geto Suguru withdrew his hand and took off his half-frame glasses.
As the players looked over with confusion, the young man, who had always had high emotional intelligence, suddenly seemed unaware that he had violated social distance and had no intention of explaining the reason.
"Don't look."
His attitude was as easygoing as ever, and the illusion of strength he had previously displayed vanished as he returned the glasses to the player.
"Fushimi doesn't need to do anything, just sit here."
Okay.
The player decided to act as bait as Geto Suguru requested and wait for the cursed spirit to take the bait.
The glasses returned to the player's hand, but he chose not to put them back on.
Losing the ability to see the curse doesn't matter to the player, as Geto Suguru is right next to him, providing him with as much safety as a nuclear missile launcher.
Although the cursed spirits cannot be seen, players can vaguely feel Geto Suguru's operation of continuously releasing the captured cursed spirits from the subtle fluctuations in the surrounding air.
An imperceptible, cool presence...wrapped around the player's wrist.
Player: Oo?
It is known that the sorcerer can see the curse spirit. Since Geto Suguru is a sorcerer, it is impossible for the other party to let the curse get close to the player.
A conclusion can be drawn.
The player looked serious: Stare...
"ah."
Geto Suguru opened his eyes unconsciously, and under the player's real gaze, he belatedly realized something.
"The subdued cursed spirits will also be attracted and want to touch Fushimi."
The player felt an invisible presence slowly tightening around his wrist, rubbing it stickily until it became painful if he applied even a little more force.
"They all like you very much," he said.
"Well...it's better to say that the more curse power one has...the deeper the feeling of being attracted." The player noticed that Geto Suguru was vague in his wording.
The strange feeling on the arm quickly disappeared. The player guessed that it was Geto Suguru who had done something. When the player looked up, the other party gave him a soothing smile: "If you are exposed to the cursed energy for too long, you will get sick."
Ah, after all, the player’s identity is that of an ordinary person!
The player nodded to show that he understood, and then more associations emerged.
Then, as a special-grade cursed object, would Ryomen Sukuna feel the same as a curse?
Hmm...
A physique that directly attracts cursed energy probably doesn't work on Ryoumen Sukuna.
At least the players didn't see Ryoumen Sukuna give her any good look because of this.
“…”
In the realm immersed in a pool of blood, the Curse King, with one knee on the bone throne, turned a deaf ear to the clear heartbeat.
Boring question.
The stomach that had decayed along with his body thousands of years ago began to move again like an illusion, awakening the hunger that had become unfamiliar to him over a long, long time.
He had to realize, before his survival instinct, what exactly was the desire that existed all the time and that surged up when the other party kept asking him questions.
That is...
Appetite.
"Ha." He chuckled briefly.
"Hey - it's always like this, either saying something harsh or just laughing at me." The ignorant player complained dissatisfiedly.
"Why can't the attitude be better?" the player said, but he didn't think the other party would change.
Unexpectedly, I received a reply from Ryomen Sukuna.
"My attitude depends on only one thing." Two pairs of scarlet eyes narrowed dangerously in the blood-red area.
“Are you loyal to others, or to yourself?”
The well-behaved players rubbed their cheeks with their index fingers, bewildered by Ryoumen Sukuna's question. "Even if you ask, I still..."
"Oh?" The usually impatient Curse King gestured for the player to continue.
The player put his hand down in annoyance. "I can only be sure that all my actions so far have not been interfered with or coerced by anyone. They are all out of my own will."
“…”
Is this... a bluff?
The player wondered uncertainly.
【Psychic】+15!
"*【Spiritual Communication】Progress: 100%[!]"
"*【Psychic】Skill activated!"
When the player clicked on the [Psychic] icon, he was immediately overwhelmed by the dazzling skill introduction.
[Clairvoyance]: Using sighs as fuel, I peer into the past. When the future overshadows the past, the false becomes true.
Player: Request Japanese to Japanese translation.
After studying for a while, the players understood.
This is it! This is the overwritten archive!
When a player uses psychic skills on any captureable character, the favorability gained from the captureable character in the past timeline will be directly inherited to the future timeline.
Players are eager to try
However, before that, players need to determine the target of the favorability event for the [Spiritual Communication] progress reward.
Everyone's faces quickly passed before the player's eyes, finally stopping at a condescending and disdainful expression.
As expected!
The player makes a fist.
"*Favourability Event: Target selected: [Ryomen Sukuna]!"
