Survive a desperate situation

As we arrived at an empty place, the view in front of us suddenly became wider. The sun was just above our heads, and a black dog emerged from a protruding boulder, sniffing around.

"Let go!"

After finally seeing the light of day again, Nanako immediately picked up her phone to fight back. But as soon as she moved, the phone was snatched away by something black.

The two men hugged each other, and after realizing the difference in strength, they stopped moving for a while.

A black-haired man with an ugly face was holding the unconscious Yuji Itadori in one hand. Nanako looked at the black lines on the pink-haired boy's face, gritted her teeth and prepared to throw him away.

But as if seeing through her thoughts, the black shadow restrained her limbs.

"Don't move." Zenin Kei said coldly. He looked at Yuji Itadori who was still unconscious and made a "tsk" sound in pain.

"005."

The Black Jade Dog brushed its tail and then woofed as if in response.

[Speak human language.]

005, whose consciousness was temporarily attached to the jade dog, reacted. He controlled the jade dog to spin in circles, and seemed very satisfied with the feeling of being able to move freely.

Being a lowly storage bag that can only crawl is so frustrating.

"As you can see, I am temporarily possessed by the Jade Dog." 005 explained, and then said with some regret, "It's all your fault for being careless. There are a lot of valuable curse tools hidden in there."

As the head of the Zen temple, he naturally has the best and most weapons. He has several special-grade spell tools alone, and now they are being given away for free.

Zenin Kei ignored 005's complaints. He half squatted down, adjusted Yuji Itadori's posture, and reached out to the side of his neck.

He is still breathing, but due to severe injuries and excessive blood loss, he will not wake up in the short term.

The black lines on his face did not slowly disappear. Thinking of the finger that was fed, Zenin Hui felt troubled again.

If the seriously injured Yuji Itadori cannot wake up, no one knows whether it will be Yuji Itadori who opens his eyes in the next second. The only emergency measure that can be taken now is to get treatment as soon as possible.

"Maruko."

Mobilizing the last of his cursed power, a shikigami as tall as a man was summoned. Marika swung his huge horns, then lowered his head and touched the injured person with the tip of his nose.

The torn clothes were stained with blood, but the wounds were healing quickly, visible to the naked eye. As the pink-haired boy's breathing gradually became steady, the hand hanging on the ground suddenly tightened and thrust out.

With his accumulated experience, Zenin Hui backed away with his hands on the ground. The black jade dog 005, who had been watching, also stepped forward in time.

005 bit the hand, but was soon knocked to the ground by the huge force.

"You really can't be hard-hearted."

The half-lying man suddenly sat up, patted his sleeves, and said nonchalantly: "That indifferent look, is it really just an act? That kid really believed it."

However, Nanako and Mimiko who were present lowered their heads subconsciously because of the terrifying pressure.

I felt that my life would be threatened if I looked up and looked into their eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, it was no longer Yuji Itadori. Although it was the same face, the aura was completely different.

The huge pressure made people hold their breath subconsciously. After brushing his hair, the curse king from a thousand years ago, Ryomen Sukuna, clenched his fists solemnly.

"Only one finger? That would probably only last about ten minutes." Sukuna said with a crazy smile, "But that's enough. Before that - tell me, what is the purpose of waking me up?"

Sukuna turned his head and saw the twins, who looked alike, kneeling down with their heads on the ground.

"Please... please kill the cursed spirit that has taken over Lord Getsu's body! The man with seams on his head and wearing a monk's robe!" Although she was afraid, Nanako still mustered up the courage to speak.

The man said that if they cooperated with him to seal Gojo Satoru, he would return Master Geto's body to them. But everything changed after Zenin Kei appeared.

The cursed spirit that impersonated Master Geta had already disdained to pretend to be someone else. It seemed that the last bit of value it had was gone, so it simply drove the two away.

Sukuna narrowed his eyes, as if he was trying to recall whether he had seen someone like this before. A sneer appeared on his lips, and as he raised his hand, he realized something and stopped his action for a moment.

Zeninkei had just lowered his hands when he noticed the eyes on him. Although it was only ten minutes, he didn't think he could hold Ryomen Sukuna back by chatting.

But unfortunately, not only was his cursed power running out, he was also unable to forcibly expand his domain.

It seems that there is no chance of winning.

005 stood behind Zenin Kei and explained without complaint: "The ritual has been melted down. The domain cannot be used for a short period of time."

〖knew.〗

I don't know why, but 005 always felt that the deer ninja seemed to be easier to communicate with. Thinking of this, he followed his body's instinct and wagged his tail.

Zenin Hui glanced at them from the corner of his eye and strangely understood 005's thoughts. He wanted to answer: "It's because I like it the way it is now." However, their furtive discussion was obviously inappropriate.

The oncoming strong wind brushed past his side, leaving a deep wound where the bone was visible, and it also fell behind him, leaving a deep crack on the ground.

This seemed to be a signal, and the figures on both sides moved together.

"Jade Dog!" Zenin Hui shouted deliberately, and then stepped back to keep a certain distance.

After realizing that he was thrown out to attract attention, 005 barked and criticized loudly: "What are you doing! Is it easy for me to find a host?"

Looking at the shikigami hiding behind his master, Sukuna's expression was strange for a moment. But soon he raised his hand without hesitation -

The soft clouds in the sky blocked the sun, casting large shadows on the ground.

Apart from the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, there was no other sound around. Zenin Hui lay quietly on the ground. From the corner of his eye, he could see the two sisters, who seemed to have realized that the time was not right and had left.

The person approaching stopped and the smile on that face was particularly dazzling.

"Are you waiting for death?" Sukuna said from above, then sneered, "No, it's not that simple."

The person in front of him seemed to say something again, but Zenin Hui no longer had the heart to listen. He half-closed his eyes, looking indifferent to life and death.

"Is the mission over if I die?" asked Lu Ninja.

They were so close, as if they were back to back, 005 said meaningfully: "No, in that case we'll have to start all over again."

There was a hint of confusion in his light green eyes, and then they closed again.

His mission is to create trouble for the protagonist's growth, and then retire after the protagonist has grown to a certain level.

A successful villain should do this. The past scene replayed in his mind, and it seemed that a voice also insisted that he must do it, must do it this way.

"I hate the script you guys gave me, it's terrible." Lu Shinobi complained.

Originally, it didn't matter, and no one asked him to do anything. But on the blank paper, the route had already been set. Shikanin hated this feeling. It wasn't that he didn't care about the forgotten past at all, just like now——

He should lie on the ground, even if he died and started over again in the second reincarnation, everything would be fine and unimportant. But after thinking according to his usual habits, he could find that the path left for Yuji Itadori was a path with no possibility of survival.

Gojo Satoru was sealed away, and no one was protecting him anymore. The higher-ups would probably be eager to execute him. And possessed by Sukuna, he would probably not be able to escape the fate of being controlled by Sukuna.

Good guys never have a good ending no matter what they do, but bad guys have unique advantages no matter what they do.

The man on the ground stood up shakily, his original decadent and carefree posture disappeared. Blood flowed down his forehead, covering most of his face, and his smile looked particularly crazy.

"Yuji Itadori." Zenin Kei said with a smile on his face and a trembling tone, "I don't want you to die. This is selfish."

As he spoke, the black-haired young man clasped his hands together, as if he was going to forcefully open his domain again.

Sukuna looked at the little finger that was twitching uncontrollably, and replied with a mocking smile, "You're about to wake up, so I'll let you see it with your own eyes."

A large area of ​​black quickly spread, but the invisible strike cut the shadow and the person in half. As blood splashed, the person who was standing slowly fell down.

This is what Yuji Itadori saw when he opened his eyes. The familiar black-haired figure lost his support and fell forward with a thud.

After realizing what happened, his heart began to beat rapidly. Yuji Itadori opened his mouth subconsciously, but his chest rose and fell violently and his breathing became disordered.

He killed his teacher himself.

When Mr. Gojo asked him to build a good relationship with Mr. Zenin, Yuji Itadori decided to put more smiles on that face.

Mr. Zenin and Mr. Fushiguro are very similar. They both have serious personalities, but they are actually very gentle and considerate. For example, they both love and take good care of small animals.

So even though they didn't have much contact, Yuji Itadori relied on his natural intuition to confirm that the Zen temple teacher was a very good person.

Although it was difficult to accept the changes that happened afterwards, Yuji Itadori was still willing to believe that there were reasons and behind-the-scenes behind all of this.

But now, after learning that Gojo Sensei was sealed, he allowed Sukuna to kill another teacher while he was unconscious.

A choking sound was heard, and tears welled up in his eyes. The usually cheerful boy hugged his head, blaming himself and feeling regretful.

Why couldn't he die earlier? His existence has always brought misfortune to those around him. It would be better if he died earlier——

"Teacher Zenin..." Yuji Itadori shouted with sobs.

With trembling hands, he tried to pick up the person on the ground, but he didn't know whether it was because his eyes were too blurred by tears or the blood affected his sense of touch, he always felt as if he was holding a stone and it hurt.

"How long are you going to hold that stone and cry?" a cold voice sounded.

Yuji Itadori stretched out his hands to scratch his eye sockets, his face full of pain and despair becoming even more confused. When he looked more closely, he saw that there was indeed a stone in his arms.

"Hallucination?" The pink-haired boy cried and laughed, his face blurred with tears, looking very wolfish.

Zenin Hui clasped her hands in front of her chest, her original clothes were in tatters: "Of course not, it's just that in a critical moment, I used the shikigami to replace myself."

The attack did hit, but at the critical moment, he switched with the shikigami in the shadow.

Although the price of doing so is that the destroyed Shikigami can no longer be summoned, the power of the disappeared Shikigami will be integrated into other Shikigami.

After hearing the explanation, Yuji Itadori understood. But he still looked guilty: "The destroyed shikigami...will never come back, I heard Fushiguro say that."

"Um."

The black-haired man nodded, with a nonchalant expression: "Let's go."

Suddenly, something furry appeared at his feet. Yuji Itadori lowered his head and felt a little comforted when he saw the black jade dog sticking out its tongue at him.

At this time, among the large group of people rushing to Nagoya, the man with long pink hair stopped with a serious expression.

The people around him stayed away from him. Yuji naturally knew what others were thinking, but he didn't know the way, so he could only follow them.

Although he had eliminated that special-grade flower spirit, he knew that several other special-grade cursed spirits were also active on the front lines.

The sorcerers present were all injured to some extent. Although they had the shikigami summoned by Fushiguro Megumi to treat them, if a special-level one appeared, the whole army would be wiped out.

They discussed going to Nagoya to rescue the sealed Gojo Satoru. So Itadori followed secretly, and although they were discovered, both parties pretended not to know.

Gojo Satoru was sealed, but Itadori was neither surprised nor anxious, because he always vaguely felt that all this was arranged by Zenin Kei.

However, the closer we got to Nagoya, the more strange the feeling became.

There seemed to be a lot of things in my mind that I couldn't control. It was like a surging tide, overwhelming and difficult to control.

Yuji sat on a tall building, watching the others getting farther and farther away, and finally decided to act separately.

Before he could sort out the memories in his mind, he was eager to meet Zenin Kei.

It was not because he wanted to prove anything, but the vague connection between the two told him that for a moment, Zenin Kei was in a near-death situation.
