Chapter 23

＊＊＊

Ijichi didn't expect that he had just relaxed for a night, and as retribution, he encountered such a major incident the next afternoon.

While driving three high school freshmen to the scene of the incident, Ijichi explained the situation of this mission in the car.

"The location of this mission is Nishitokyo Central Hospital. Because the hospital has window inspections all year round, the birth of the special-grade cursed womb was discovered at the first time."

"Special-grade, is it the same as Sukuna-sensei?" Yuji, who had changed his words at the first time since last night, asked curiously, "Isn't that very strong?"

"Yes, special-grade is definitely not something you can deal with." Ijichi didn't think he could pin his hopes on the moody Sukuna, "This mission is completely different from the last mission in Beika Town! It should have been handled by a grade one or even a special-grade sorcerer, but the other sorcerers were all on business trips."

Ijichi realized that he was speaking a little hastily, and forced himself to slow down his voice and said, "Although the transfer was timely, six people still lost contact, including three pregnant women, two with advanced cancer, and one who had a car accident and has never woken up. If anyone survives, please rescue them."

"Of course, the premise is to ensure your own safety."

On the other side, the bright sunshine penetrated the shadows of the trees, and it looked like a good day for a picnic.

But there were noisy roars and cries coming from afar.

Several family members of the patients held the person in charge of the police tightly. They wanted to break through the police cordon.

"What is going on! Why is it blocked!"

"Is there any accident? Then rescue them quickly!"

"What happened inside? Tell me! Kana and the child are still inside!"

Because they missed their loved ones, their remaining rationality could not keep them calm.

Hospitals were not unfamiliar to Yuji.

Looking at them, he couldn't help but think of his grandfather.

If his grandfather who lived in the hospital was cursed and killed in such an unclear way...

The hot-blooded boy clenched his fists— absolutely unforgivable.

"Fushiguro, Kugisaki, let's go!"

"Yeah." Megumi's expression was full of seriousness.

"Do you need to urge me!" Nobara took out the hammer and prepared for the battle.

Sukuna raised her eyes and became interested in the guy who was said to be at the same level as herself now.

Special grade, wonder if it could compare with Satoru?

The boys gradually walked into the shadow of the high-rise buildings from the bright sunshine of early summer.

Ijichi watched the minors going away in front.

There was no law to protect minors in the world of jujutsu, and this kind of emergency situation was not the first time he had encountered it.

As an assistant director, he could only watch the children move towards the dangerous front.

And put down the curtain: "Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness, purify that which is impure."

Thinking of the laughter of the past few days, he bent down in a corner where no one could see.

Please come back safely, Fushiguro, Itadori, Kugisaki.

And please, Miss Sukuna.

The sky suddenly darkened.

"Sukuna-sensei?" Yuji, who saw the curtain for the first time, didn't understand what happened and decisively sought the teacher's answer.

"The technique of blocking vision." This basic of the basics had been played out in Sukuna's world for a long time, and Sukuna was unwilling to even give a glance.

In the tense atmosphere, Sukuna seemed to stand out as if she was on a picnic.

Yuji looked at Sukuna-sensei not far away and felt a little relieved for some reason.

Then he took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the inpatient department.

According to normal assumptions, there should be ward doors inside.

But what was beyond the imagination of the high school students was that it turned into an amusement park.

The huge amusement park was empty, and the sun was setting, leaving only a dilapidated and desolate scene.

The roller coaster not far away ran through the park like a blood vessel, and the afterglow of the sunset cast long shadows on the layers of amusement facilities, mixing red and black together.

The flowing clouds seemed to be nailed to the sunset, and it was hard to tell whether the smell of rotten rust came from the steel covered with red rust or the deep red liquid in the river.

There was no insect chirping in early summer, no warm summer breeze, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of their footsteps on the ground remained.

"What's going on? It was only afternoon when we came in, right? And this is not the inpatient department? Illusion?"

Nobara patted the rusty fence beside her in disbelief, and looked at her hands that were a little red from the thorns, and then realized, "Is this real?"

"Sukuna-sensei, what's going on?" Yuji looked at this scene and couldn't connect this place with reality.

Sukuna was also thinking.

It looked like a formation composed of cursed power, but it was vaguely wrapped in the breath of laws.

Was this the manifestation of high-level power in this world?

Special grade... It was indeed a little different from those ugly things.

However, what aroused Sukuna's interest was the familiar breath.

Like the only light in the dark night.

—A part of her body's strength, a finger.

"This is the birth domain of the cursed spirit. We must speed up." Megumi didn't know Sukuna's attitude, nor did he think Sukuna would help them deal with such a strong enemy, "Divine Dogs!"

The two Divine Dogs were emerged from Megumi's shadow, and there were unique marks on their foreheads. They were clearly one of Megumi's shikigami.

A pure white Divine Dogs whimpered happily as soon as it jumped out, and the other pure black Divine Dogs followed Megumi obediently, waiting for the master's order.

A big furry tail, soft ears, round and clear eyes... Sukuna couldn't help but think of the furry videos on the phone, and her eyes brightened slightly.

But soon, Sukuna turned her head away.

She had never concealed her preferences, and many people have offered beautiful monsters in the past to try to win.

But under her pressure, these monsters that were not strong enough to transform could only be frightened or collapsed.

Therefore, the furry ones in the video were better.

Megumi knew nothing about Sukuna's thoughts. He patted the head of his most loyal partner, "Take us to find other people in the field."

"Woof!"

Following the smell of the trapped people, the Divine Dogs led a group of people to a corner of the amusement park.

On the dark carousel, several vague figures appeared.

Suddenly, the carousel slowly rotated, turning the people on the chairs in front of a group of high school students.

They were twisted in different terrifying postures, like dolls being manipulated at will.

With the dripping sound of blood, the corners of the six people's mouths were pulled behind their ears and even the corners of their eyes, revealing inhuman smiles, as if welcoming their arrival.

Words such as weird and thrilling are no longer enough to describe the scene in front of them.

In this field, people were just toys created by the creator.

Could be played with at will, dignity could be ignored, could be wantonly humiliated.

Yuji rushed to a person and wanted to save him, but found that the blood on the person in his arms, whose belly was still slightly bulging, had already coagulated.

Her neck was twisted 360 degrees, with only a little flesh sticking to it.

It was death.

It was a different death from grandpa.

The relatives outside were still waiting for them.

They shouldn't be like this.

This was not right.

Yuji closed his eyes that had completely lost their spirit, not knowing what he felt in his chest.

"Miss Sukuna, can they still be saved?" Yuji hugged the girl who was supposed to be nurturing another life, and a little desire to struggle leaked out from his teeth.

Sukuna looked at Yuji and told him a fact indifferently, "It's hopeless."

The soul was gone, and it couldn't be saved.

"Is that so..." Yuji lowered his head and then tried to carry the bodies.

The boy's eyes were burning with fire, full of words— he had to take them back.

Sukuna stood beside Yuji, not understanding why he did this.

Suddenly, Megumi, who was trying to stop Yuji, immediately summoned Nue.

With the sound of a strong electric current, Nue, who was protecting the black Divine Dogs with its wings, collided with the cursed spirit that appeared out of nowhere.

Faced with the sudden electric shock, the newly born cursed spirit staggered, but then stood up straight.

If the black Divine Dogs had not pounced on its arm, Nue's chest would have been pierced.

Knowing that there was no chance of winning, Megumi immediately let the black Divine Dogs merge into the shadow and returned to his side, readying his hands, and roared, "Itadori, Kugisaki, run!"

Without Megumi's reminder, the two high school students were already terrified.

This cursed spirit had an overly large face, and the corners of its mouth were almost pulled to the ears like a clown with makeup on.

What made all the high school students even more terrified was that it actually began to speak in a vague human language, "Laugh... laugh..."

It was a completely different fear from the last time in the cave, which made them have no willpower to resist and just wanted to flee in panic.

But their feet seemed to have taken root in the ground, and they couldn't even take a step in the face of extreme crisis.

Just then, a voice brought them back to their senses.

"It's so ugly."

The condescending scrutiny, the cold and indifferent voice, and the expression without any emotional fluctuations instantly resolved the panic in Yuji's heart.

Sukuna-sensei was here!

"This is no longer a cursed womb, and it is not something we can deal with." Megumi immediately organized the Divine Dogs to bite and stand at the forefront facing the cursed spirit, and once again asked hiscompanions to evacuate immediately, "Run!"

"But, they..." Yuji couldn't believe it.

The relatives outside were still waiting for them to go back!

He couldn't leave the bodies of these people here!

"Forget what the assistant director said before! Go!" If Megumi hadn't been concentrating on the special cursed spirit, he would have punched Yuji in the face.

"Sukuna-sensei!" Yuji looked at Sukuna with a pleading look. Miss Sukuna was so strong, there must be some universal method.

Sukuna still couldn't read Yuji's eyes, but just watched the development of the situation quietly.

The guy named Ijichi had said it very clearly before, she didn't understand what Yuji was insisting on.

She could see at a glance that these people's bodies could not be saved, and even their souls were gone.

It was just a useless sympathy.

At the same time, accompanied by a powerful cursed force impact, a deep gully appeared on the originally smooth ground.

Even with the cover of the shikigami, Megumi was inevitably hit and was smashed into the Ferris wheel cabin not far away with a horizontal straight line.

When he raised his head again, his head was already covered with blood.

In the next short second, Nobara couldn't dodge in time, was grabbed, and like a basketball shot, was smashed into another Ferris wheel cabin at a high altitude like Megumi.

If she hadn't held on tightly to a railing, she would have smashed through the car and fallen from a height of hundreds of meters.

"I'm not a throwing toy! A*shole!" Nobara wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Ignoring the help of the Nue sent by Megumi, she quickly climbed down the Ferris wheel and ran towards the direction of the special curse spirit.

Listening to the inhuman laughter of the curse, watching the blood of the pregnant woman in the palm of his hand, and watching his companions getting closer and closer, Yuji made up his mind.

He wanted to save others.

And now, the only thing he could do was—

Yuji almost went crazy and quickly handed the person over to Megumi and Nobara, as well as Megumi's Nue.

Then he picked up the steel bar next to him and threw it directly at the head of the curse, successfully interrupting the curse's laughter and attracting the attention of the curse.

Yuji turned his back to his companions, "You guys, take everyone and escape!"

"You—"

"I have Sukuna-sensei! I won't die!"

His voice was full of energy.

Only Sukuna saw Yuji's hands shaking with fear.

"Retreat as soon as you hear the signal!" Megumi, who was already seriously injured, stopped trying to be brave.

If Yuji died, Sukuna in this body would also die.

With the restraint to Satoru, Sukuna would have saved Yuji anyway.

Seeing the two people and the shikigami taking the victims away, Yuji breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, facing the special-grade cursed spirit that suddenly appeared in front of him, only a fist away, he used all his rationality to think.

What should he do? Yes, he should gather the cursed energy.

Yuji pulled out the Slaughter Demon, and found the feeling of being chased by the cursed corpse in the high school, and chopped it hard.

The Slaughter Demon wrapped in the cursed energy left a wound of more than 20 centimeters on the chest of the special-grade cursed spirit, but before Yuji could breathe a sigh of relief, the cursed spirit grabbed the Slaughter Demon in Yuji's hand.

Yuji looked at the cursed spirit in disbelief as it easily healed the wound, and at the same time, it broke the Slaughter Demon lightly like breaking a disposable chopstick.

Like watching a little white mouse struggling with all its might, the newly born cursed spirit's already weird mouth grinned even wider.

"Just tell me, Sukuna-sensei, how can we delay enough time?" Yuji asked for the method to defeat the enemy while keeping a distance.

Sukuna-sensei promised that Gojo-sensei would teach him!

Then, Yuji found that the cursed spirit's hand had been inserted into his chest.

With the sound of flesh and blood, a hole appeared in his chest.

Blood rolled down like a dam opened.

Looking at his internal organs in the hands of the cursed spirit, Yuji finally realized that he was going to die.

Absolutely not,

Fushiguro and Kugisaki have not completed the evacuation.

What would happen to Sukuna-sensei after his death? Would she be resurrected in someone else's body?

In a short moment, Yuji's eyes were full of revolving lanterns.

His daily life should not be like this.

Where did it go wrong?

Hate the existence of the curse.

And the one who pulled me into this world...

No, no, no, I couldn't think like that...

But it really hurt...

At the last moment, he tried his best to turn his head away.

The beautiful girl next to him looked at him calmly, as if his life and death had nothing to do with her.

It was like a high god watching the ants struggling to survive below.

It turned out that he was such a weak existence that was not worth mentioning.

The extreme pain of dying prompted Yuji to shed tears, and he whispered something that he didn't know if he had said it out loud.

"Sukuna-sensei... save..."

Please, save me.

No matter what, save me.

Then, he heard an overly plain sentence...

"Oh."

The next moment, time seemed to be paused.

The translucent figure of the girl held his hand.

Not known if it was the influx of cursed power or the embrace of souls that made Yuji lose his original warmth and coolness. His extremely tired body seemed to be soaked in a warm hot spring.

Very comfortable, very peaceful, wanting to fall asleep.

This feeling was different from the previous Reverse Cursed Technique that only lasted for a moment. Before giving up control of his body, Yuji wondered if he had a beautiful dream when he was dying, "Sukuna-sensei?"

Sukuna, who occupied Yuji's body, pulled the collar of his school uniform uncomfortably and explained according to the binding vows, "Gojo was lying to you before."

"Huh?"

"The bind between him and me is that within a week, when you ask for help when you are facing a life-and-death situation, I must save you."

Facing a life-and-death situation, Yuji, who was almost dead, widened his eyes, "So, Sukuna-sensei has been waiting for me to speak?"

"Well, Gojo said that I can't tell you before the real answer is revealed, so that it will bring surprises." Sukuna, who had been waiting on hold, recalled Satoru's particularly bright smile at the time, and asked in confusion, "Surprise?"

Yuji was shocked by Satoru's bad taste.

He felt that he had a lot of complaints to complain about.

For example, Gojo-sensei, you were so outrageous, would you really not be sanctioned by the Ministry of Education?

Sukuna-sensei, you just believe it. Did you really not think there was anything wrong with Gojo-sensei?

However, in the end, Yuji still said happily, "Thank you, Sukuna-sensei!"

Even though the method and opportunity were a bit strange, Sukuna-sensei still saved him.

Sukuna was a little surprised.

She didn't understand the logic, and didn't know how to respond, so she could only spit out a simple "hmm".

It seemed that Yuji was very happy. Maybe the excellent teacher Satoru Gojo was really better at guessing people's hearts and giving people surprises?

Sukuna didn't continue to think about this issue. Her attention quickly shifted to "binding".

This time, it was also her test of the rule of this world called "binding vows".

At that moment, she did feel that she was bound by the shackles of the law.

If she didn't follow the agreement with Satoru, she would die.

Only when she took the action to save Yuji did this strong sense of threat suddenly disappear.

After confirming the effect of the binding, she could do whatever she wanted.

Sukuna's hand brushed across her chest, instantly stopping Yuji's injury.

She had killed curses before, but she didn't feel anything.

Only the special-level one in front of her, who was said to be the same as her and had some finger cursed power, made her a little interested.

The guy in front of her should not disappoint her, right?

Sukuna felt that she was very patient at this moment, and even waved to the cursed spirit in front of her who was doomed to die, and said lazily without caring whether the other party could understand human language, "Hey, show me your domain."

Sukuna had a feeling that she could open one, but it was just a vague outline in her mind.

And in front of her, there happened to be a cursed spirit who could show her domain.

As soon as the voice fell, Sukuna heard Yuji's somewhat worried question, "Sukuna-sensei..."

Yuji, who lost the right to control his body, was like a puppet trapped on a string. He could synchronize Sukuna's vision and hearing, but he could not control his own body.

It seemed like a dream, but compared to 3D movies, this feeling was too real.

Moreover, he could have an encrypted conversation with Sukuna-sensei, and the new experience was weird and wonderful.

However, Yuji, who knew the horror of the curse in front of him, was afraid of any accidents.

Although Sukuna-sensei was a very powerful special-grade, she only had the strength of two fingers after all. What if...

Sukuna raised her eyes, thinking that he wanted to return his body after she cured him, so he coldly told him a reality, "If you want to switch, you will die in the next second."

She only stopped the bleeding, and did not completely repair the wound.

Yuji heard the warning meaning in it, and immediately nodded obediently in his heart.

Sukuna-sensei was afraid that he would be killed by the cursed spirit if he switched without authorization, so she was protecting him!

Seeing the sudden change in the appearance of the person in front of it, and even the aura became stronger, the special-grade cursed spirit seemed to realize that something incomprehensible had happened in front of it, and stood there, hesitating and a little at a loss.

"Can't understand human language?" Sukuna's eyebrows slightly frowned.

Such intelligence could also be called special?

But it's not a big deal if you couldn't communicate.

"Since you don't understand, let me make you understand with pain."

Sukuna snapped her fingers, and one of the special-grade cursed spirit's hands was cut off neatly in an instant, and then healed again.

"It will also heal quickly." Sukuna was slightly surprised, but didn't care.

After all, this so-called special-grade cursed spirit was much weaker than she thought.

The series of actions of the special-grade cursed spirit, such as injury, surprise, treatment, and counterattack, were extremely slow in Sukuna's eyes.

Seeing that it was still trying to sneak attack her from behind, Sukuna, who was speechless, turned around, raised her leg and exerted a little force, and easily hit the opponent's head.

But at the same time, Sukuna did not kill it, but just kicked it hard into the concrete wall beside it.

Sensing that the special-grade cursed spirit wanted to raise its head, Sukuna slowly walked over and pressed the clown's bright hair again and again.

In the silent amusement park, the head of the special-grade cursed spirit collided with the steel frame in the wall, making a deafening "bang bang bang" sound.

Ignoring Yuji's series of "Sukuna-sensei is so strong", "Hit harder", "wakuwaku" and other messy voices in her mind, Sukuna raised the special-grade cursed spirit and warned with her last patience, "If you don't use the domain, you will never have another chance."

Then, a black and red scar was cut on Sukuna's heart, and it broke apart little by little.

The place touched by the clown was like being eroded by the wind, turning into dust little by little, but in just a second, a whole living heart was exposed.

"Sukuna-sensei!" Yuji screamed because of the sudden reversal of the situation.

The special grade cursed spirit whose cheek had been dented by Sukuna saw Sukuna was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing shrilly again, "Laugh~ Laugh~"

"Domain, a certain hit..." Rather than looking at the wound on her body, it was better to say that Sukuna was watching the effect of the previous domain, "So that's it..."

The cursed spirit saw Sukuna paused in place, so it stepped forward again, wanting to take the opportunity to repeat the previous operation and completely eliminate the existence that still made it feel scared.

The next second, it was pressed down by Sukuna for the second time and was forced to stick to the wall.

Sukuna didn't bother to care about the injury on her chest, but indulged her rare interest.

"What are the conditions for the birth of a domain?"

"There is only one form of activation of a domain?"

"Where does the activation of a domain come from?"

"Soul? Flesh?"

Sukuna approached the dazed special-grade cursed spirit, cut open her head, and carefully observed and studied it, "There is no spirit core of a spirit beast either."

The cursed spirit, which was extremely close to death not long after it was born, screamed in pain.

The dark red curse power surged, and in an instant it swallowed Sukuna's hand pressing on its neck.

The pain of being rubbed like a toy made the special-grade cursed spirit completely lose the courage to continue fighting with Sukuna. After breaking free from Sukuna's hand, it fled to the depths of the paradise.

You have to run quickly, and you must not be caught by this devil.

But the next second, the devil with a naked heart and a broken hand appeared in front of it.

Sukuna was not interested in the game of chase and escape, and kicked the special-grade cursed spirit back to the original place.

With a loud rumble, the head of the special-grade cursed spirit once again embedded deeper into the previous cut, and the position and angle were even exactly the same.

Sukuna walked back leisurely, and her slightly elongated tone carried a little dissatisfaction with the other party's lack of understanding of the situation.

"I told you not to struggle, you are very weak."

Sukuna sincerely felt that the classification of special-grade was simply inexplicable.

The special-grade in front of her could not speak, and its rationality and wisdom were really shallow. It was like a demon beast that no one could look down on.

The only value was...

"Itadori." Sukuna took the initiative to call Yuji, who was already stunned.

"Here! Sukuna-sensei!" Yuji, who had been ignored, quickly reminded Sukuna excitedly, "Sukuna-sensei, are you really not going to treat it?"

Because the current strength was only two fingers, Sukuna couldn't control much cursed power.

"I have another cursed power idea to try, so I have to use it sparingly." Sukuna felt that the vague idea in her mind became clearer and clearer, "Have you heard Gojo talk about the domain?"

"This is too advanced, I haven't heard of it!" Yuji replied loudly with full energy.

"Yeah." Yuji was too weak, and it was reasonable that he had never heard of it. Sukuna just asked casually, "In that case, let's try it once as we please."

"Huh?" Yuji suddenly had a different premonition, "Sukuna-sensei, are you..."

The response to him was a cold and confident "Domain expansion—".

Following the way the special-grade cursed spirits dispersed their cursed energy, Sukuna used all the cursed energy she could control at present and opened up her own domain for the first time.

In an instant, everything around her changed.

Dark and shiny tiles appeared on the ordinary cement road under her feet.

Although it was as smooth as a mirror, it could not reflect any figure, as if it was swallowing up the light.

Accompanied by the rumbling sound of heavy objects, the barriers on both sides were built in just a few seconds, forming a huge royal court that was much larger than the previous amusement park.

With mountains as barriers, magma as internal streams, and the sky as the roof,

Whether it was the walls, the ground, or the exquisite decorations in the hall, they were all deep black, and only the red clouds reflected on the open dome slightly eased the extreme sense of oppression.

The extremely majestic and ancient beauty made Yuji's eyes not enough to see, and he only felt that he didn't learn Chinese well, but she was so powerful, so powerful, and he wanted to urge Sukuna-sensei to switch perspectives.

In the overly familiar hall, Sukuna, who sat on the high seat of the Demon Lord, propped up her cheek with her hand. In the shadow of the Demon Lord, countless blurred shadows half-knelt to show their submission.

The special-grade cursed spirit who suddenly found itself in someone else's domain could smell the smell of blood in this domain, but it didn't dare to turn its head to look at the shadows on both sides in its peripheral vision.

The desire to survive told it that those monsters that didn't show their full appearance were much stronger than itself.

Not to mention the "king" in the distance whose pressure was so terrifying that it had to kneel on the ground. It didn't dare to look directly at her, and it couldn't look directly at her.

It didn't even dare to move a bit, it could only lower its head and taste the taste of extreme fear.

Outside the domain, the black-haired young man in a cassock wiped the fine cold sweat around the sutures.

In the Heian era, he had heard of the terrifying reputation of the King of Curses, but this was the first time he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

Although he was standing hundreds of meters away, intending to be an unknown spectator outside, he never expected...

The black-haired young man looked at the huge domain in front of him that he could enter by just stretching out his hand, trying to show a calm smile, and said leisurely, "I told you, Sukuna is worth winning over."

"Is this the power of Sukuna?" A cursed spirit shaped like Mount Fuji had a smoke ring on its head because of excessive excitement, "Just two fingers?"

In order to prevent being swallowed by the expansion of the unstable domain, the black-haired young man began to retreat.

The young man's handsome phoenix eyes reflected the domain with a diameter of nearly a thousand meters, outlining a bottomless smile, "Yes, this is the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna."

Without further words, other special-grade cursed spirits already understood why he was willing to use a finger to confirm his strength.

The King of Curses, so terrifying.

On the other side, Ijichi and other window staff took over the corpse from the Jujutsu High School students.

In an instant, the original hospital building and almost the entire hospital, along with half of the back mountain, were swallowed up by a crimson domain.

The huge and complex cursed power and the unprecedented super-standard domain frightened all the people in the jujutsu world.

Ijichi immediately made a larger-scale curtain.

Fortunately, the other personnel had evacuated three kilometers away, otherwise...

Ijichi felt a little scared.

No one thought that this was something that Yuji, who had just entered the jujutsu world, could do. The only explanation was that the King of Curses in Yuji's body occupied Yuji's body and opened up the domain.

Ijichi clenched his mobile phone and tried to call another person's mobile phone again and again.

The current situation could only be solved by the strongest person.

Before the call was successful, Ijichi saw two people who had just escaped and were about to turn back.

He quickly grabbed Megumi's clothes, "Fushiguro-kun, what are you going to do?"

Megumi waved Ijichi's hand away, his face firm, "Itadori is still in there, I have to take him out."

If Sukuna killed the curse, that would be great.

If Itadori died while collecting the body of someone else, then he would have to collect the body for Itadori.

Sukuna's reappearance and even being able to stay in the high school was the result of his private affair. No matter what the result was, he should bear it.

Nobara took advantage of the second when Megumi was grabbed and stepped into the field before Megumi, "Me too! How can I let that guy show off alone!"

He thought it would take some effort to enter Sukuna's field, but he didn't expect to encounter any obstacles at all.

As soon as he stepped into the field, he was overwhelmed by unprecedented pressure before he had time to distinguish the surrounding situation.

Every step towards the center of the field, he could feel the pressure rising rapidly. Not to mention taking a step, even standing was extremely difficult.

"Fushiguro! Kugisaki!" Passing through Sukuna's field of vision, Yuji saw his two classmates who had just stepped into the palace gate, and hurriedly shouted in Sukuna's mind.

As soon as the two stepped into the field, Sukuna, who was in full control of the field, sensed it.

Seeing two Divine Dogs standing outside the palace gate with their heads sticking out, she didn't know what to do.

Sukuna retracted her gaze, and also retracted the pressure on the two people and two dogs, allowing them to approach step by step.

Glancing down, the original special-grade cursed spirit was already lying at the bottom of the stairs of the Demon Lord's main seat, as if it was crushed by a force of gravity, and its whole body was trembling constantly.

"Too weak." If it weren't for wanting to try the power of this world, Sukuna would not open the domain to deal with such a guy who could not even be called a scum.

"In the past, you didn't even have the qualifications to kneel down to me."

"Feel honored."

Sukuna's words completely announced the death of the newly born special-grade cursed spirit.

The next second, the terrifying and hideous clown turned into ashes directly in the domain, and only a finger that fell to the ground.

Sukuna stretched out her hand, and the finger appeared in her palm.

It was no different from the previous finger, with abundant curse power and her soul fragments in it, each of which was calling her, eager to merge with her.

But Sukuna only put a mark on it to facilitate tracking, and put it into Yuji's school uniform pocket after preventing the Jujutsu High School from hiding it.

This kind of thing was incompatible with the word "delicious" at first glance, and she was not a masochist, so of course she had to let Yuji eat it.

Sitting in the place she was most familiar with, Sukuna felt exhausted from the soul after doing this last action.

She figured out a semi-finished domain, but at the same time, all her cursed energy was consumed.

Now she even felt strenuous to move a finger.

Megumi and Nobara also noticed the instability of the surrounding domain space and accelerated to Sukuna's bottom.

Staring at the mottled hole in Sukuna's chest, Megumi didn't understand what happened, and could only ask loudly, "Where is Itadori?"

The next second, the already shaky domain completely lost the support of the cursed power, and the huge cursed power space was like a broken glass, peeling off at a very fast speed.

As the domain collapsed, the boy on the high ground slowly opened his light pink-gold eyes.

The world in his retina was blurry, but he could still see two classmates with wide eyes not far away.

Before closing his eyes, the boy smiled faintly, 'Fushiguro, Kugisaki, you actually came to save me, thank you.'

Everyone was fine, that's great...

The throne collapsed rapidly, and the boy who lost his support could no longer hear his companions' calls, falling from the fiery height into the dark abyss.

At first, Yuji's eyes were dark.

"Sukuna-sensei?"

"Gojo-sensei?"

"Fushiguro? Kugisaki?"

"Is there anyone?"

No matter how loudly he called, he could only see the pitch-black darkness, and even the fingers that kept stretching forward did not convey any touch.

After running in the seemingly endless darkness for an unknown amount of time, Yuji's hesitation turned into anxiety, and anxiety turned into despair. In the end, Yuji felt relieved.

If we think about the worst, he was dead.

But before he died, he helped a lot of people.

After his death, his tomb should not be empty!

"So should I pray to the eight million gods now, what I want to be reincarnated into in the next life?" Although he didn't quite understand what was going on now, it didn't prevent Yuji from diverting his attention and looking forward to the future. "Becoming a panda and lying flat, eating and drinking? No, no, life feels quite boring like this. It's better to be reincarnated as a brave warrior in another world! Start a new adventure, or go to the future world to drive a Gundam or a battleship, which is not bad..."

Just as Yuji was holding his face and falling into a painful decision of a teenager, a light suddenly appeared in the darkness in front of him.

When Yuji realized it, he had entered another space.

This place was a bit similar to the architectural style of the royal court in the Sukuna-sensei domain before, both of which were mainly black.

But this was not a palace, but a revolving tower that seemed to have no end and went straight into the sky.

However, there were no stairs in this revolving tower. Each floor was filled with ancient books and even bamboo slips bound with cotton thread.

There were only two windows in the tower, and outside the windows was the same blood-red sky as the previous royal court.

However, what made Yuji feel strange was that there seemed to be no roof on the top of the tower. When he looked up, he saw a different blue sky from other windows, dotted with thousands of stars, and the sparkling light fell, which was incredibly beautiful.

After confirming that there was no danger, Yuji carefully looked around.

At first glance, this place looked like a library, but in fact, there were traces of life everywhere.

There was something that looked like a rice stove, and there was something like rice paste left in it. The reason why it was called rice paste was that the things in the pot had been completely burnt, and it was definitely something that Taro, the big dog from the neighbor's house, would not eat.

There were also a few scratches on the dark wall, from low to high, stopping at a height similar to Yuji, like a scratch of height.

Yuji was a little curious about the books, but when he leaned over, he found that the words on the cover were completely incomprehensible.

This should be Sukuna-sensei's territory. There was no escalator for the books at higher places. Sukuna-sensei should have flown up to get them.

After an unknown amount of time, when Yuji was about to close his eyes and doze off, a familiar voice sounded.

"This is my sea of ​​consciousness, or in words you can understand, my inner world."

Sukuna appeared on a futon in the center of a rotating tower, opened her eyes, and looked down at the visitor in her inner world.

She hadn't been tired enough to enter such a state for a long time.

The environment of the inner world changed according to her thoughts, so she chose the place where she lived at the beginning.

But she didn't expect that Yuji could enter her own sea of ​​consciousness in this way.

"Sukuna-sensei, am I dead?" Seeing the person he trusted, Yuji could no longer hide the doubts in his heart, "Can I go back to the technical high school? I saw Fushiguro and Kugisaki before, I really want to see everyone..."

Listening to the boy's endless chatter, Sukuna, who was already having a headache due to exhaustion, couldn't help but interrupt him, "Are you stupid?"

Sukuna completely forgot that she didn't have time to use her cursed power to heal the hole in Yuji's body, and just thought that his soul was so fine, how could he be in trouble.

"Wow!" Yuji didn't doubt the truth of Sukuna's words at all, but jumped up in surprise, "Then Sukuna-sensei, can I go back? Fushiguro, Kugisaki and Gojo-sensei may be worried."

After sleeping for a while, Sukuna, who finally recovered some of her strength, nodded, and with a crisp snap of her fingers, Yuji opened his eyes.

Then, he heard a scream like a chicken being slaughtered, "Yuji, you died miserably!!!!"

It seemed to be Gojo-sensei's voice.

Before he took his last breath, Yuji, who felt that he could be saved, immediately sat up and looked around.

He was wearing the pure white attire of the deceased, lying in a pure white coffin, surrounded by flowers, mainly pure white lilies and yellow chrysanthemums, looking like he could die peacefully.

On the right was a black-and-white photo of himself that had magnified N times, sealed on the wall with a black frame.

On the left were rows of people wearing serious black suits.

Yuji's eyelids began to twitch ominously.

Megumi's face was the same color as pig liver.

Nobara's hand had already reached her waist to dig out the nail.

Gojo-sensei, who was just "crowing", lowered his head, and his shoulders were shaking wildly and exaggeratedly like a zombie...

But the one with the richest expression was Mr. Ijichi, who was standing next to his coffin and preparing to offer flowers.

Yuji prepared himself mentally, raised his hand, and smiled brightly, "Hi, Mr. Ijichi..."

Then, Ijichi fully demonstrated the outstanding quality of a professional assistant director.

He immediately jumped back more than a meter, then took out a bag of salt from his right suit pocket and threw it at the dead soul in front of him, "All the soldiers and fighters are lined up in front of you! Evil spirits retreat!!!"

Rest in peace, Yuji Itadori-kun!!!
