Chapter 85

***

"Itadori...are you home? I'm your senior."

The sturdy man walked to the door and looked at the closed door in front of him, and then looked at the two people with serious expressions behind him. He swallowed his saliva nervously and spoke in a stuttering voice.

The boy called loudly and pressed the doorbell.

....

There was no sound from inside the door.

"This shouldn't be. I clearly saw Itadori walking towards home..."

The sturdy man looked strange.

"Could it be... Itadori didn't go home?"

Thinking of this, his face was a little urgent. The sturdy man turned his head and looked at the two people timidly, "Do you two really need that thing urgently? Itadori... doesn't seem to be at home."

"Wait."

As soon as the sturdy man finished speaking, Tiantian gently raised her hand to stop him from continuing to speak.

The sturdy man: "?"

Under the gaze of the two people, Tiantian took a step forward and stretched out her left hand, pressing it lightly on the door panel in front of her.

*creak*

Accompanied by Tiantian's fingertips gently falling on the door panel.

The door of Itadori's house made a harsh sound of wood friction, slowly opened and closed, revealing the dark and obscure environment inside the house without a trace of light.

"The door is not locked."

Tiantian turned her head and looked at the two people and said.

"..."

A boy took Ryomen Sukuna's cursed object and ran away with it. The boy did not lock the door.

Everything, everything, was such an ominous omen.

Megumi's facial expression quickly became serious. A pair of cold green eyes stared at the dark door crack.

"You wait here, we will go inside to find Itadori."

The boy put his palm on the strong man's shoulder and spoke to him calmly. His attitude was unquestionable.

"Wait... wait!"

Perhaps the two people's appearance of loan sharks coming to collect debts scared the strong man a little bit, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

The strong man: "Since Itadori is not at home, it is not polite for us to enter so rashly, right?"

Megumi glanced at him calmly and said, "If you want to be polite, you shouldn't touch other people's things at first."

"..."

The strong man was speechless, but his friendship with his brother and classmate made him unable to let these two strangers enter Itadori's house so openly.

"You can go in... but I'd better go in with you, so that if the Itadori family loses something, at least I can testify for you."

Megumi frowned.

Letting ordinary people in such a place was the same as putting raw meat in front of a tiger's mouth.

He was about to refuse, but Tiantian patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, let him go with you, I'm here, nothing will happen."

After Tiantian finished speaking, without waiting for Megumi to react, she pushed open the door of Itadori's house expressionlessly.

*creak*

The door was wide open.

A smell of decay like a dead rat rushed towards the three people.

The three people covered their noses with their hands in shock.

?!

What was this smell?

Tokyo.

Toge, who was sorting clothes in his room, seemed to feel something.

The clothes in the boy's hand were not held firmly, and fell to the floor with.

"!!!"

An inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly rose in Toge's heart.

The boy suddenly widened his eyes and rushed to the window of his room in two steps, and his trembling fingers gently pressed against the cold glass.

Toge's pupils stared at the direction where the scarlet dusk and the night intertwined in the sky. It was obviously just an ordinary sunset, but now in his eyes it seemed like an eye of a storm, and all the ups and downs would be played out there in fear.

There was something... a bad feeling, happening over there.

That direction...

Was it Sendai?

It’s very hot now, but the front room of Itadori’s house was particularly cold, as if the air conditioner was turned on at 19 degrees, making people feel cold all over.

His house was not very clean.

On the contrary, the floor was full of various wooden boards and sawdust used for work, and there was even a saw standing brightly by the corridor; the sharp cold light made people feel panic in the dark.

The most important thing was the smell in the air.

It was the smell of rotten raw meat.

It had a bloody and rotten filthiness, and unlike other garbage, it was easy for people who smelled it to recognize it.

"..."

The strong man was already confused.

He looked at the messy scene in front of him in disbelief.

It's not that he had never been to Itadori's house before. In his memory, it was a warm, bright and clean space; not the daunting place now.

"Itadori... what is he doing? And what is this smell?"

The strong man bent his elbow to block his nasal cavity, with a weird look on his face.

"No one on the first floor, go upstairs!"

Tiantian looked around very calmly, turned around and said to Megumi.

The two looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and walked quickly towards the stairs.

"Hey! Wait!"

The strong man was startled and quickly followed with his nose covered.

The three of them arrived at the stairs almost at the same time.

As soon as they looked up and were about to go up, they all froze in place.

"..."

Tiantian and Megumi hadn't reacted yet. The strong man first covered his mouth to prevent his screams from bursting out, and looked at the window above the stairs with horror, his face full of disbelief.

There was no other reason.

At the window of the stairs.

There were two coffins that had been erected and not yet completed.

They stood quietly at the stairs, silently, like two standing people, quietly watching them.

"Is this... a coffin?"

Megumi stared at the two coffins upstairs and spoke blankly.

There was a big difference between Japanese coffins and Chinese coffins. Generally, they use less materials, were thinner, and were not as big.

But anyway, coffins were easy to identify, at least Tiantian saw it at a glance.

Strong man: "It’s so weird! What's going on? I... I want to call the police!"

The male classmate would probably have a shadow on the staircase for the rest of his life.

Seeing his pale face, the stunning sight at the staircase seemed to have stimulated him a lot.

The strong man spoke with a trembling voice, and his hands were shaking like Parkinson's disease as he tried to take out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket.

"You go out and call the police first, let's go upstairs and take a look."

It's unknown what more outrageous things would happen in this scene next, just going upstairs is so exciting.

Megumi weighed the pros and cons and finally decided to let the strong male classmate wait outside.

"Okay... okay!"

The sturdy man was frightened. This time he did not insist on going with the others. He turned around and ran away.

There were two rooms on the second floor of the Japanese duplex. The door on the left was wide open and there was nothing inside.

The door on the right was closed.

And the strange and unpleasant smell of dead meat was the strongest on the right.

The two carefully walked around the coffin and came to the door on the right.

Tiantian gently touched it with her fingertips.

*creak*

Like the door, the door was not locked and opened with a slight push; it seemed to be closed, but it was not closed tightly.

"..."

When the door was opened, the stench of the dead rat was like thick smoke, rushing towards the two people's sense of smell.

The room was dark and not as messy as imagined.

The curtains were drawn tightly, the desk was tidy, and there was no debris on the floor.

The source of the stench... was the tatami on the far right.

In the dark light, the two could vaguely see that there seemed to be a human figure lying on the tatami bed.

"..."

Megumi rarely felt nervous.

It had been a long time since he felt this way.

When he saw all kinds of strange cursed spirits, he didn't feel anything.

On the contrary, when he saw the corpses of his own kind, he felt the most primitive discomfort and panic in his heart.

"Why don't you be at the door, I'll go check it out."

Tiantian saw that Megumi didn't look good, so she suggested considerately.

"It's okay, no need."

Megumi shook his head, his voice calm.

When the two walked forward, they could see the person lying on the tatami clearly.

It was an old man who had been dead for at least a day.

His temples were pale, his face was ashen, and his body had already appeared in a state of rigor mortis; the old man's left hand was exposed outside the quilt, and it seemed that he had been holding something for a long time.

So that the thing in the old man's hand was empty, but his left hand still maintained a state of holding something in vain.

The corpse's expression was unusually calm.

Except for the complexion that was distinguished from that of a living person.

His eyebrows were peaceful, as if he was asleep, and his eyes were quietly closed.

"..."

Megumi stared at the old man in a daze and opened his mouth.

"...did that classmate say... Itadori has a grandfather?"

Tiantian: "..."

If she was not mistaken, this should be Itadori Yuji's grandfather.

Thinking of this, she felt a little reluctant.

Tiantian gently touched the old man's left hand with her hand, and communicated silently with the system in her heart.

[System, can you analyze the cause of death of this old man?]

[...]

[System prompt: Received, analyzing the cause of death of the old man]

*creak*

Just when both of them were silent.

A sparse sound suddenly came from the tightly drawn curtain.

"!!"

Megumi was stunned, but he reacted quickly and immediately pulled Tiantian up.

Then, a line like ink shot out from Megumi's fingertips-suddenly opened the curtain.

"!!!"

The scene behind the curtain made the two of them widen their eyes.

With the scarlet dusk as the background, the first thing that caught the eyes was a face that looked pale and unliving.

The boy held his hands on the upper window frame, staring at the two of them.

From the moment they entered the room, the boy had been holding on to the window and staring at them.

"The box is empty, and the finger was taken away by the senior."

The pink-haired boy looked at the two people desperately and spoke, with winding and hideous tear marks on his pale face.

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the two to react, he loosened his hands on the window frame, and the whole person fell headfirst from the window frame like a bird with broken wings.

"Hey!!!"

Megumi's pupils shrank, and he screamed reflexively, and rushed to the window quickly—
