Chapter 18

＊＊＊

Because of the emergency, Yuji, who was also shocked, had no time to reply to Sukuna's question.

Although Conan's football did not hit the cursed spirit, it had bought enough time for the high school students.

Megumi sensed more cursed breath from the cave and directly summoned Great Serpent.

The long and powerful snake was like a fish in water in the cave, instantly strangling more than a dozen level 4 cursed spirits in the cave wall.

"Itadori, I'll clean up the surroundings!" Megumi was used to the gap between the information brought by the "window" and the actual situation. Low-level curses were just more nutrients for his shikigami, so he had no complaints about it.

"Understood!" Looking at the space opened up by Megumi, Yuji exerted his speed to the extreme, stepped on the heads of the groups of curses on the ground, and ran towards the elementary school students who were about to fall into the pile of cursed spirits in the distance. At the same time, he shouted, "Kugisaki—"

Nobara frowned, and the whole person became a flammable and explosive barrel with the naked eye. "It's such a hassle..." Even so, while complaining in her heart that she didn't bring enough nails, Nobara still swung her hammer heavily, "I know!!!"

Because of the light source provided by the Junior Detective League, this time the nails wrapped in the vigorous cursed energy shot out violently, directly nailing the tentacles that tried to bind Ayumi again.

Accompanied by a shrill roar, the next second, Yuji, who happened to be below, used a mushroom-like curse as a step. His jumping ability, which was almost sent to the Olympics by the school coach, allowed him to catch the falling little girl steadily.

"Nice catch!" Yuji proudly stretched out his hand to give himself a thumbs up, and then shook his legs pitifully.

Eh, where is the ground below???

"Itadori—" Megumi wanted to wrap Yuji with the toad's tongue, but was a step late, and could only watch Yuji fall into a cave deeper in the cave.

Yuji used his body as a cushion for Ayumi, then jumped up and shouted energetically towards the light above, "I'm fine"

"Itadori, hold on!" Megumi looked at the low-level cursed spirits that were pouring out like a tide, and didn't think Yuji below would be safe.

What's more, there was a covetous Sukuna next to Yuji. Sukuna's blood-red eyes seemed to appear in front of him again, inhumanly high and cold.

While cursing the other person for being a fool in his heart, Megumi summoned the shikigami again with his shadow, "Divine Dogs!"

Nobara also accelerated the speed of hammering nails, cooperated well, and solved the bat-shaped cursed spirit above for the Divine Dogs.

A simple look at each other, at this moment, the two of them firmly believed in the same idea. Yuji was a newcomer in the world of jujutsu who didn't even know much about the power of curses. Therefore, it must be a quick battle!

While Megumi and Nobara stepped up their efforts to rescue Yuji, with only a little light coming from the top of the cave, Yuji looked towards Sukuna by instinct after confirming that the little girl in his arms was fine, "Miss Sukuna, are you okay too?"

Sukuna, who had been watching the three-person battle against the low-level curse as a movie, felt puzzled, "Of course."

Suspended in the air, Sukuna held her cheek and looked down at Yui, who was already in a state of embarrassment but still tightly holding the little girl in his arms.

It was obviously him who was in trouble. His left arm should have been broken during the fall and impact.

Sukuna raised her eyes and saw a pair of scarlet eyes on the cave wall.

Ants could swallow elephants.

When his left hand was completely depleted and his teammates could not provide timely support, he still held on to the naive fantasy of continuing to protect others. She couldn't understand it at all.

Listening to Sukuna's calm voice, Yuji realized that he seemed to have asked a meaningless question, and said awkwardly, "That's right!"

Perhaps because he still needed to protect the life of a little girl, or because he believed that his classmates would soon defeat the cursed spirit, or perhaps because he knew that the powerful Sukuna was watching him, Yuji was not as scared as he had imagined when facing the cursed spirit.

When you don't know what to do, just punch.

After transferring Ayumi to his left arm, which was basically unusable, and gently asking her to hold his neck tightly, Yuji swung his right arm and punched away the cursed spirits that were as big as medium-sized dogs.

His current physical condition determined that he could not defeat so many opponents with one punch.

Therefore, it was necessary to ensure that the curse under the fist lost its combat effectiveness in one blow, and at the same time give enough deterrence to other curses.

Sukuna, who was used to simply killing a few times, basically did not use any tactics, but this did not prevent her from simply analyzing Yuji's thinking.

Sukuna affirmed Yuji's fighting talent.

Although it looked like a crazy trapped beast, he still used some brains. It was good to be able to transform from an ordinary person who had never killed anyone to this in just a few days.

But that was the end.

The next second, Yuji let out an uncontrollable roar from his throat.

Facing the attack of several curses, he could not dodge in time, and his left arm was tightly bitten by the curse.

Even though he moved the little girl behind him in time and destroyed the curse in time. But the gushing blood still flowed from his left arm.

His left arm was almost torn off, with only one-third of the flesh still connected to the torso, and his bones could be clearly seen from the flesh and blood. Even though he had already realized that he was injured, the feeling of dying was different after all.

Yuji's mind was constantly filled with "it hurts, it hurts, it hurts...".

Like a computer program infected with a virus, he could no longer think rationally, and only the last instinct pursued the hope of life. While barely repelling the already blurred curse in front of him, Yuji uttered a cry for help full of expectation, "Miss Sukuna, Miss Sukuna..."

He believed very much. If it was Miss Sukuna, it would definitely work!

Sukuna stared at Yuji coldly.

What she did was entirely based on her mood. And Yuji had no relationship with her, it was just a choice under the interweaving of fate.

She knew very well that once there was a second, people's greed and desires were endless, and she was not so kind and tolerant. Even if Yuji had made her feel happy, that was it. She would not save Yuji's life.

After waiting for a long time without a response, Yuji recalled Megumi's words and felt a chill in his heart.

Miss Sukuna, was it really no different from the curse that was attacking him?

But at this moment, a shikigami similar to a large owl swooped down from above.

The huge current on his body made the curse that surrounded Yuji instinctively choose to avoid.

Because of the consumption of a lot of cursed energyy, Megumi was also a little exhausted. But even so, after hearing Yuji's cry for help, he still tried his best to choose to respond, "Itadori—"

Under the cover of Nobara, Nue broke through the encirclement, hooked Yuji who was holding Ayumi with his claws, and flew back to the ground.

The curse on the ground had been almost cleared, and the Great Serpent followed Nue back to the bottom to eliminate the remaining curses.

After Nobara took over the intact Ayumi, she immediately went to help Yuji, who seemed to have crawled out of a sea of ​​blood.

At first, she was extremely anxious, "Hey? Itadori? If you are still alive, just say something!"

But after a few careful glances, Nobara withdrew her hand and threw the 80 kg boy who fell softly on her to the ground.

"Kugisaki, I am seriously injured..." Yuji, who suddenly fell on his face, groaned in grievance, and had an urge to cry because of his unfair treatment and shallow friendship with classmates.

"What lies are you talking about!!!" Nobara was even more angry when she heard Yuji's full voice, and kicked him directly, "Tell me where you are injured?"

Yuji, who felt that he was bullied in school, pointed to his left arm with his right hand, "My left..."

Then, an intact arm came into his sight.

"What?" Yuji jumped up from the cold ground, "I clearly remember my left arm..." He would never forget the excruciating pain.

Yuji rubbed his eyes, and even pinched his left hand with his right hand, and then jumped again in pain. "It hurts so much!!!"

But the despair that had just swallowed him still hadn't completely left him, so he couldn't help but approach Nobara and asked seriously, "Kugisaki, isn't this a dream?"

Then, Nobara kicked him hard in the waist, "One kick is not enough, do you want another kick? Go help Fushiguro when you have time!"

Yuji was not angry after being kicked, and blinked his wet puppy eyes. Until now, he believed that his senses were not wrong. His left arm really came back intact!

Yuji touched his cheek, right hand, and chest, and then found that the bloody scars from the fight had all disappeared. The only thing that proved that he had really fought a bloody battle was the blood stains on his body that gradually began to turn black.

Only—

"Miss Sukuna, thank you!" Yuji bowed to Sukuna.
And sincerely apologized in his heart for doubting Miss Sukuna before.

Miss Sukuna did not come to save him immediately before, she must have noticed that the battle between Megumi and Nobara was about to end, and she did not need to take action. And he actually doubted Miss Sukuna who helped him to eliminate all the wounds before, which was simply a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs!

Sukuna did not deny it. This thing was indeed done by her.

After all, after Megumi's Nue joined the battle, she knew that Yuji would not die. If Yuji did not die, she would still be bound to him.

In this case, if Yuji lost a left hand, her activities such as browsing the phone and eating delicious food would be restricted. For the sake of her own quality of life, Sukuna chose to take action.

Originally, she just wanted to restore his right hand, but the first time she used the reverse cursed power for treatment, she was still a little unskilled, so she healed all of Yuji's wounds. And Sukuna had no intention of saying such a mistake.

Compared to Yuji's change of attitude towards Sukuna, which was adjusted in a blink of an eye, Megumi, who finally completed this mission, sat on the ground, feeling a pain in his brain again and again.

Perhaps because of the excessive consumption of cursed energy, his thoughts seemed to be tied up, and he couldn't understand Sukuna's thoughts at all.

Why did she unconditionally heal Yuji, and didn't even add a restraint to Yuji. What was Sukuna planning? Was she trying to play the emotional card with Yuji?

Megumi's eyes were a little confused.

Sukuna looked down at him with cold eyes, Sukuna chewed the dessert happily, Sukuna flew with them on the sword...

Even though he knew very well that curses were evil, Megumi couldn't help but gradually become less firm in his guess.

After finally finishing this mission, several high school students who were about to take a rest were surrounded by several elementary school students.

Seeing three high school students punching, kicking, swinging nails at an empty cave, and shouting words similar to the names of moves, this strange scene made the other elementary school students feel at a loss.

At first, Genta even suspected, "Did these brothers and sisters run away from a madhouse on TV?"

But when they saw Yuji's blood, even elementary school students realized the seriousness of the matter.

The temple of science in their hearts encountered the number one crisis at this moment.

Could it be that there were really monsters in this world?

But soon, Ayumi, who was rescued, dispelled their doubts.

While the teenagers in the cave were still busy, several children sat together to listen to Ayumi's analysis.

"This is definitely a trick!" Ayumi said confidently, "At first, I saw the pink-haired brother not only talking to the air, but his arm was torn apart, and the bones were exposed. It was really super scary."

"But now you see, the brother's arm is fine. He must be using some visual tricks to scare me!"

Mitsuhiko, a staunch believer in science, immediately agreed, "That's right! It's definitely like this!"

Seeing that the older brothers and sisters were done with their work, several children immediately asked in unison.

"Big brother, are you filming a prank show?"
"We all found out that the blood on your body must be a prop!"
"It is wrong to scare elementary school students like this, please let other staff come out!"

The high school students who originally thought they needed to make up a bunch of words to deal with the children looked at each other in bewilderment.

Afterwards, Yuji, who was disliked by the other two for being too lively, was driven out and negotiated with the children as a representative.

"That's right, that's it! I'm really sorry." Yuji pointed at his clothes stained with blood, "You are really smart. We failed, and we chose bloody paint on purpose..."

"Staff? I'll take you to the bottom of the mountain to find the staff later~"

Yuji changed the subject, "But it's wrong for you to break into our venue like this. You must bring your parents with you when you come to such a deserted place in the future!"

When it came to parents, a group of children thought of their parents who must be anxious and the subsequent punishment, and instantly became eggplants hit by frost. They no longer asked about the tricks that fooled them this time, but prayed for these brothers and sisters to say good things for them.

Everything seemed to be fooled so happily.

When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the assistant director and "window" and other staff in the jujutsu world who were professional in fooling ordinary people were waiting.

After listening to Yuji's previous fooling direction, the fully equipped "window" even carried out the camera equipment and fishing line and other "visual deception tools" from the back seat, perfectly completing the white lie.

Because all this could not be explained by science, Conan wrapped himself in a small blanket, and had to accept this statement after being puzzled.

But just as he was sitting in the car and preparing to leave, the pink-haired boy suddenly knocked on his window.

Conan opened the window in confusion and put on a professional child's business smile, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Yuji scratched his face, thinking that the question Miss Sukuna asked him to ask just now was inexplicable.

But even so, thinking of Miss Sukuna's life-saving grace just now, he still honestly served as a dedicated and dedicated mouthpiece.

The boy leaned close to the child's ear, and even if he deliberately lowered his voice. The clear and sunny voice fell to Conan's ears, but it was almost the same as thunder on the ground, "Your body is only seven years old, but why do you have a seventeen-year-old soul?"
