II: Lily of the Valley
Chapter 92: Towards Silky Blue
Live or die, be beaten by a bear or hammered by Kugisaki.

＊＊＊

Yuji Itadori was dead.

Fake.

The mission report was written by Ijichi, and the report written by Ijichi was false. The culprit who forced Ijichi to write the false report was Satoru, who almost killed Sukuna and Yuji with Limitless.

The cicadas chirp up and down in the summer night, the shadows of the trees outside the window swayed, and the wind carried the heat of July.

Ijichi stood in the infirmary tremblingly, and Satoru sat silently on the chair in the infirmary, neither speaking nor making fun of anyone. Even with the blindfold on, it could be told that his expression was clouded now.

The white-haired young man pursed his lips into a straight line and sat on the chair with his legs crossed. There was no other person in the infirmary. Satoru, who usually liked to be pretentious at most, didn't speak. He just sat there, feeling invisible pressure. The air expanded, as if the air pressure also decreased, and a chill that filled the heart and spleen silently filled the infirmary.

Ijichi lowered his head and carefully reported the situation of this mission to Satoru. He dispatched a mission from the higher-ups, asking three first-grade children to face a special grade cursed spirit, and to rescue five people whose lives were unknown. After sorting out the details, the story was told to Satoru from beginning to end.

After the report, the assistant director carefully looked up at Satoru and found that the other person's face could be said to be extremely gloomy. Such an expression was rarely seen on Satoru's face, and it also told him that Satoru was really angry.

Ijichi choked on his saliva.

Shoko held the report in one hand and opened the curtains with the other. He saw Satoru sitting on the chair with a stinky face. The woman in a white coat raised her eyebrows, "It's rare. Are you angry?"

"Isn't that natural?" Satoru said with a sullen face, lowered his crossed legs, and silently told others that his current mood was not only bad, but full of gloom.

"An outrageous mission, an outrageous goal." Satoru said, "Moreover, Yuji's suspended sentence is more like a death sentence in vain than a suspended sentence. They were unhappy about this and used the special grade cursed spirit to kill Yuji honorably. "

The words he spoke were unhurried and not too ups and downs. Satoru used a speaking style that was not suitable for him, and used a calm tone to describe the dross and garbage that were openly hidden under the mission.

"If Megumi and Nobara are dead, they can successfully provoke me." Satoru continued with a sneer, "Killing two birds with one stone, you are really smart, old men."

Satoru's words set off huge waves in Ijichi's heart. With this explanation, he also understood that this was a death penalty field specially designed by the higher-ups. In order to kill the "Sukuna vessel" and provoke Satoru Gojo, they had a despicable plan and sent those children there with his own hands, which was equivalent to an accomplice.

The assistant director's hands could not stop shaking. He never thought that he would become an accomplice in the shady plans of the higher-ups. He personally pushed the children to the execution ground.

Satoru thought of Megumi, whose head was full of blood. He looked at the child who had grown up. Although his face was stinky, it did not prevent him from having a soft heart.

He thought of Nobara. This girl was like a rose with thorns. She was full of enthusiasm, and had a warm personality. In the most beautiful period of a girl, she almost lost her life because of the shameful thoughts of those dead old men.

He thought of Yuji. Yuji did not swallow Sukuna's finger voluntarily, but his original intention was to save people, so what about the "Sukuna vessel"? The despicable was Sukuna, not Yuji, and he was a hundred times better than those dead old men who only command and occupy high positions but do nothing good.

Satoru thought of Yayoi standing in the rain again. Her hair was wet from the rain. The red hair was mixed and stuck to her pale cheeks. The dripping rain washed away the blood. The red hair on her head looked like spilled blood.

The human heart was filled with all kinds of desires. People driven by desires would deprive children of their youth and even their lives for the sake of their own desires.

Squeeze the value of the children, deprive them of their lives, and deprive them of everything.

Just like what was done to him, Suguru, and Riko many years ago.

"You heartless old men." The voice was low and filled with a chilling coldness. "It's all about virtue anyway, so let's just kill them all."

The anger that had been deliberately suppressed in the heart was like a roaring beast. The flames of a prairie fire burn the heart, and the sharp claws and teeth seem to break the heart and roar out.

Ijichi, who was closest to him, shuddered.

A strand of hair on the temples was tangled around her slender fingers. Shoko turned her fingers leisurely, and the strand of hair became more and more tangled. "You are very fond of the students this time."

"Don't bully Ijichi too much." Shoko said with a chuckle, "It's not easy for him to be caught between us and the higher-ups."

These words express Ijichi's pain from taking over the grueling job of Satoru's exclusive assistant director. The assistant director felt warm in his heart. It feels really good to have someone who cared and understood, especially under a boss like Satoru, this kind of warmth was very valuable.

"I'm not interested in men's hard work." The white-haired young man said coolly.

Ijichi: "..."
Listen, was this what people say?!

"That's it, then it's okay. Ijichi is used to it anyway." Shoko took out a lollipop from her pocket, tore off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth. She didn't even look at Ijichi and continued to eat the candy on her own.

Ijichi: "..."

Seeing someone eating sweets in front of him, Satoru became angry and said, "Give me one, I want the strawberry flavor."

Shoko rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just go, you can go find the little redhead."

"Eh, Shoko is so stingy." Satoru flattened his mouth and then began to mutter to himself, like a big cat huddled in a corner sulking, "Did Yayoi send the candy? That's too much. It’s too much, you didn’t give it to me, it’s too much, it’s too much…"

Shoko had a dull face, holding the lollipop in her mouth like she was holding a cigarette, and threw the report in his face, "This is Itadori's death diagnosis report."

Of course, this was fake.

Satoru reached out to take the report, opened the document bag, and glanced through it briefly. He found that Shoko's ability to make fake reports was comparable to that of Ijichi who was tortured by him day after day and had to improve his fake report writing. The white cat put it with satisfaction. Putting the report aside, he raised his head and heard Shoko say, "According to what you said, Itadori's heart was dug out by Sukuna on the spot. Afterward, the heart was healed because he wanted to continue fighting with Yayoi."

After the heart was healed, Sukuna was immediately supressed down by Yuji and locked in the dark room.

"I gave them a full physical examination." Shoko bit the candy in her mouth and choked down the sweet lump of candy mixed with the syrup. "Itadori's body is fine."

"It's little redhead..." The woman in a white coat lowered her slender eyelashes, casting light shadows under her eyes.

"What's wrong with Yayoi?" Satoru said coldly as the five fingers of his left hand passed through the fingers of his right hand.

"I said there was something wrong, but she was fine. Very fine. She could jump up and down, and she even had an extra bowl for dinner." Shoko said.

Satoru: "Wow, that's great. I also hope that Yayoi will have more flesh on her body to make it more comfortable to hold."

Ijichi: "..."

Shoko frowned and looked at Satoru like a scumbag, "You finally stopped being a human being."

"Why am I not a human being?" Satoru protested loudly, "Little redhead is twenty-five now, not fifteen, everyone is an adult!"

The contempt in Shoko's eyes became more and more obvious, and she was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with Satoru.

"It's not true that she's okay." Shoko said. "She didn't have any injuries."

"According to Megumi, she and Sukuna teamed up to demolish the entire detention center." Satoru did not realize at all that what really dealt the final blow to the detention center was his Limitless that fell from the sky.

In that scene, Megumi could only describe it as two Tyrannosaurus fighting, and while they were fighting, a Godzilla fell from the sky.

It's a good thing that he wasn't injured, but Yayoi didn't know Limitless techniques, and the opponent was Sukuna with three fingers. In close combat, she didn't suffer much damage, but there were inevitably some scratches.

There was no injury on Yayoi's body at all. Satoru rubbed her face and looked around. He found blood on her forehead. After rubbing it with his fingertips a few times, he found that there was no wound there.

The red hair, on the other hand, became dirty, stained with dust and mud from the fight.

Satoru pursed his lips and then said, "It's not that she wasn't hurt."

"It's not that she wasn't injured. After the injury, the wound healed quickly on the spot." Shoko pulled the stick out of her mouth and threw it into the trash can. "She also asked Fushiguro if he wanted to bite her."

She still remembered that Yayoi raised her arm and asked Megumi if he wanted to bite her, he would be better soon. The sea urchin-headed boy pushed away the hand and turned away. His expression of rejection was like that of a good woman who had been teased by a deceiver.

Satoru: ???

Satoru: !!!

The white cat jumped up on the spot and made trouble unreasonably, "What?! I didn't even bite her! She actually let Megumi bite her! I don't care, I'm going to make trouble when I get back!"

Ijichi: "..."

Ijichi lit a stick of wax for the little redhead in his heart.

Shoko: "...have your brain been damaged by the little redhead?"

"I said before that she has a special physique." Shoko said, "That special physique is not only reflected in the fact that Six Eyes cannot detect her cursed energy. She has an effect similar to the Reverse Cursed Technique, but she didn’t know how to use Reverse Cursed Technique."

"The power of the curse itself is not suitable for healing, but the reversal of negative to positive can be used to heal a person's body." Shoko continued, "Little redhead's body is like a medium. She has powerful self-healing ability, this ability can only be used by herself. If others want to use her ability, they need to come into contact with her blood. The most convenient way is to bite her."

"This ability..." Shoko moved her lips, wanting to continue.

"We must not let anyone with ulterior motives know about it." Satoru's voice deepened.

Shoko looked at Satoru expressionlessly, knowing in her heart that this man's possessiveness was at work.

"To be honest, you are the one with ulterior motives." Shoko's eyes were complicated.

"Nonsense, I've never bitten her!" Satoru continued to make trouble unreasonably, "Even kissing is a recent achievement, okay?!" It took him more than ten years of hard work to achieve this achievement!

Shoko: "...please get out of here with Ijichi."

She didn't want to see this bad thing that attacked Yayoi again.

While three grown-ups were pushing around in the infirmary, Yayoi was holding a popcorn bucket and sitting in front of the TV in the basement. On the left was Yuji holding potato chips in one hand and a bear in the other. Megumi declined the popcorn. After the proposal of having a movie and popcorn, he sat down on the single sofa next to them and played with his Divine Dogs.

While the picture on the TV was changing, it was also accompanied by the affectionate dialogue between the male and female protagonists. Yuji's eyes were fixed on the TV screen without blinking, and the potato chip bag was placed on the head of the snoring boxing bear, and from time to time he fished out a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sharp scissors approach the red wire little by little and slowly press down on the wire. The extremely tense plot drives extremely concentrated attention.

*bang—*

The fist of the teddy bear curse in his arms accurately hit the side of Yuji's face. The powerful punch hit the flesh, and the muffled sound of the muscles colliding directly pushed Yuji off the sofa.

The potato chips that were originally pushed on the head by the teddy bear also flew up. The moment the potato chips in the bag scattered, Yayoi reached out and grabbed the flying potato chip bag, and opened his mouth to bite the fallen potato chips.

After a few clicks, the potato chips entered Yayoi's stomach.

Yuji rubbed his sore face and got up from the ground. The cute figure raised its gloved hands in the air and jumped up and down on the back of the sofa. It seemed to be saying 'you come and beat me, come and beat me’.

Yuji rubbed his face, very angry, "Don't hit people when they are eating potato chips!"

Yuji was extremely angry and grabbed the jumping curse. After shaking its fist a few times, it fell into a deep sleep and snored comfortably.

Yuji looked at the bear sleeping comfortably alone. This was Principal Yaga's special cursed corpse. As long as he didn't give it the cursed energy, it would beat him, keep beating him, and it would only single out Yuji.

Satoru adjusted the power of the curse to the one that Yuji could release now, and also dug out a lot of DVDs. Yuji was already holding the bear, excluding eating, sleeping, and solving physical problems. Yuji had been watching these DVDs, and he had been watching DVDs for a long time.

•

After returning to the high school, he went to the infirmary and asked Ieiri-san to do a full body check. After cleaning himself up briefly, he was dragged into the basement by Satoru.

The white-haired young man sat on the sofa with his hands folded in front of him. He sat on the sofa with his arms wide open. Most of his face was sunk in the shadows. Coupled with the black uniform, he looked like a Yakuza. Yuji choked on his saliva and waited conscientiously for him to speak.

"You're dead." Satoru said coldly.

Yuji: ???
Why did he die? Wasn't he still alive?

Satoru saw through the confusion on the little tiger's face and slowly explained, "It doesn't matter if you're alive, you'll be off your game from now on."

Yuji: ???
You might as well not explain it.

Satoru patted him on the shoulder and told him solemnly, "From now on, you have to become stronger."

On the bright side, the higher-ups rotten oranges would only keep an eye on the child. Instead of doing this, it would be better for the child to hide temporarily. After he had the minimum ability to protect himself, the group of rotten oranges couldn't easily touch him.

Although he didn't know what Gojo-sensei was doing, Yuji knew what he had to do now, which was to become stronger. There were many times when people were powerless. When his grandfather passed away, he was powerless. When he encountered a special grade cursed spirit, there was nothing he could do, so he went to Sukuna.

That guy was not a good person. Even though he knew he was not a good person, Yuji had to beg him. Not only did he fail to save anyone, but Sukuna, who dominate his body, almost killed Megumi and almost killed his last relative. This was the consequence of his weakness.

"I understand, sensei, please make me unbeatable." Yuji looked directly at Satoru's... blindfold, well, he was wearing a blindfold and couldn't see his eyes.

Satoru smiled with satisfaction, and after briefly explaining to Yuji what cursed energy was, he dug out a lot of DVDs, stuffed the bear that came from Yaga into Yuji's arms, and then the bear jumped and was beaten.

According to Satoru, this was the most tiring way to train for cursed energy - movie appreciation.

•

Yuji pulled away the bear that was beating him, and showed his teeth in a very angry look. Yayoi took the opportunity to stuff a few potato chips into his mouth, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, you will go bald if you are angry."

Yuji, who was pouting, hugged the bear and sat on the sofa, pinched the bear's ears, "This guy is really..." The beating was too brutal.

"By the way, is this Principal Yaga's bear?" Megumi sat petting his dog and glanced at the pile of DVDs next to him. "Gojo-sensei brought it for you to train, right?"

"Fushiguro was also trained like this?" Yuji asked.

Megumi nodded, "Almost, but it's not mainly about this training method."

"Eh?"

"Gojo-sensei is very casual." Megumi said expressionlessly.

"Casual?" Yuji's eyes were bewildered.

"For example, throwing people directly into the den of low-level cursed spirits." Megumi said in a steady tone like an old dog, as if it was not a big deal. "It has become a little more reliable in the past few years, so there is no such thing anymore."

Yuji: "..."
Fushiguro, you must be having a bad time.

"Yayoi-san, have you been to Saitama Prefecture?" Megumi asked thoughtfully.

Yayoi chewed the popcorn in her mouth, "I have been living in Saitama Prefecture for three years in junior high school."

Megumi raised his head and looked at Yayoi in surprise.

"That was my mother's hometown. I followed my mother back to her old house in the town and lived there for three years." Yayoi said, "I went to Urami East Junior High for junior high school."

"...a coincidence?" Megumi murmured.

"What coincidence?" The bear in his arms waved his fist a few times, but Yuji suppressed it.

"The school where I graduated from junior high school is also in Urami East." Megumi remained expressionless.

Yayoi paused while grabbing the popcorn. She looked at Megumi's sea urchin head and then at the bucket full of popcorn. She remembered that when she lived in Saitama Prefecture, she seemed to have encountered a sea urchin. That sea urchin seemed smaller than Megumi.

Yuji leaned over and said, "That, sister is Fushiguro's senior."

"Don't get so close." Megumi hit Yuji's head back with a fist. "Speaking of which, you should think about how to explain to Kugisaki that you are still alive."

Nobara, who was sent to the hospital before them, was still kept in the dark. She was the only first-grader who didn't know the truth. The news that Yuji was still alive would not be announced until the Goodwill Event two months later. With Kugisaki's personality, Yuji would have to kneel with the portrait frame hanging all night long.

Yuji held his head in pain from being hit, hugging his bear dejectedly, and sat on the sofa, feeling depressed, "I... am ready to be hammered to death."

Life or death, beaten by a bear or hammered by Kugisaki's hammer, he chose to be beaten by a bear.
