II: Lily of the Valley
Chapter 72: Hearing No Sound
Men will be punished if they are promiscuous outside.

***

The nights in late spring and early summer were quiet and beautiful. The cool night breeze carried the night insects one after another. The cold full moon was embedded in the dark sky, and the night howls of owls spread like ripples around.

The building location of Sugisawa Third High School was far away from the bustling city of Sendai, far away from the honking of cars and the hustle and bustle of electronic sounds. In the silent and quiet wind, the only sounds were the chirping of insects on summer nights and the rustling of leaves.

The moonlight was as thin as cicada wings, and the lights in the distance were like scattered torches in the dark wilderness.

The fluorescent light on the mobile phone screen lit up. Megumi Fushiguro took the mobile phone and entered Sugisawa Third High School.

After crossing the iron fence that separated the school from the outside world and passing by the stone monument with a sense of time, Megumi bypassed the teaching building and stopped in front of the lawn.

The night owl echoing in the night wind showed no intention of stopping. The soles of the shoes rubbed against the rough ground, and the rustling sound mixed with the shadows of the trees lingered in his ears.

The lush canopy cast mottled shadows on the top of the shutter box in front of the iron railing.

The boy with messy hair stopped in front of the shutter and complained from the bottom of his heart to the guy who put the things here, "Isn't it stupid that special grade cursed object is kept in a place like this?"

The boy walked over with a paralyzed face and opened the door of the shutter.

In the silent night, there was a dull sound as metal rubbed against each other. After the shutter was opened, Megumi was horrified to find that it was actually empty.

'Ah, the special grade cursed object is lost, are you kidding me!'

There was a turmoil in his mind, and the unreliable white-haired teacher's frivolous tone and casual expression seemed to come directly from his mind to his eyes.

The excessive shock caused Megumi to fall into a daze for a moment. After being dazed, the boy stuffed his spiky sea urchin head into the shutter box and pulled it out. He then closed the door of the box and then got into the bottom of the box. Then he touched the side of the box, and the door of the shutter box was opened and closed several times.

He searched it all over the place several times, not to mention the special grade cursed object, he couldn’t find any hair on the special grade curses!

The special grade cursed object, it seemed to be really... lost.

If it's picked up by ordinary people and was recycled without the seal being opened, then it would just cause a heart-racing events. If the seal was opened, then human life was inevitable.

A chill filled his heart, and Megumi called Satoru.

"No, there's nothing in the blinds," Megumi said.

"Huh?" Satoru on the opposite side paused, seemingly not expecting this situation.

"Really? It's so funny." The voice on the phone was so frivolous that it made people angry. This guy never seemed to be a serious and reliable adult. "Could he be going for a walk?"

Megumi said what he often said in a calm tone, "...I'll beat you up." Please be more reliable at this time, you unreliable white-haired teacher!

"Oh my, this is bad." The person on the other end of the phone didn't feel any sense of urgency about being threatened, and his tone was still frivolous, "Last time I didn't recycle that thing in time, but something terrible happened~"

Megumi's hand holding the phone tightened.

"Ara ara, by the way, if I remember correctly, the place where that thing is kept is at Sugisawa High School, right?" Satoru said to himself, "If necessary, remember to find a red-haired guy. That guy is very capable when fighting. The five senses are developed to the point of abnormality, maybe can help you~"

Megumi wanted to blow Satoru's head off on the spot, "..."

There was a huge crowd, and there were so many people dyeing their hair these days. Where was he going to find the redhead Satoru mentioned?

"So, you are not allowed to come back until you get that thing back." Satoru said.

There was a 'click', and the electronic sound of the phone being hung up came from the phone. Megumi put down the phone, looked around in the silent night, and finally gritted his teeth.

That thing, just die for him!

"I'll beat him next time."

Megumi had no choice but to stay in Miyagi Prefecture. Vaguely, he felt that the special grade cursed object should still be in this school. Thanks to the seal on the cursed object, he felt that the filth was very close at hand. It seemed like it was far away.

So Megumi had to wander around the school a few more times and moved to the school's closed football field.

After the grass underfoot twisted slightly, a cursed spirit that moved on six limbs crawled out of the ground, grabbed the slender telephone pole, climbed all the way up to the top of the telephone pole, and opened its arms toward the vast sky. A low, distorted roar came from its mouth.

Megumi frowned. Ordinary people could not detect it, but as a sorcerer, he could clearly feel that the curse in this place was stronger than anywhere else in the school.

In a sense, the Occult Club's speculation was half correct. There were indeed revengeful spirits causing trouble in this place, but compared to the term 'revengeful spirit', it was more accurate to use 'curse' to describe it.

A group of students gathered at the football field in the afternoon, seemingly waiting for a good show. The essence of human beings was to 'watch the show'. Wherever there were something to enjoy, there were people. At first, there were only two or three people, but later more and more people watching. More and more people were watching, focusing their attention in the center of the football field with great interest.

After the sound of a stretched metal falling to the ground, the young boy walked slowly into the center of the stadium. Everyone shouted 'Itadori' in unison and shouted his name. The rugby field echoed 'Itadori'.

Megumi watched helplessly as the opponent threw the ball 30 meters with his bare hands and in a non-standard posture, causing the metal net frame to bend.

He couldn't help but think of the "red-haired guy who was very good at fighting and had developed five senses" that Satoru said. After looking up and down at the little tiger who broke the world record by throwing a shot put, his eyes finally fell on the opponent's cherry blossom-like hair.

It's pink, not red.

Megumi looked away.

Facts have proved that this guy's gorilla-like physique was very similar to his senpai, Maki Zenin. He was very powerful and could run very fast. He ran past him in a flash, carrying the aura of a special grade curses object, and he didn't even have time to call him out.

"It is said that that guy can run fifty meters in three seconds."

Megumi's expression was distorted. Was he probably a car, not a person?!

Megumi had to go back and forth to inquire with the people around him. He learned from the people around him that the guy who could run fifty meters in three seconds was called 'Yuji Itadori'. He was the legendary ‘Tiger of the West’ who had passed the level of extreme physical fitness king, famous kickboxing athlete and real estate mixed martial arts athlete Mirko Filipovich.

Megumi: "..."

He didn't know where to start, not to mention the shameful nickname of 'Tiger of the West', wasn't Mirko Filipovich still alive?

"Oh, and Itadori's sister is a school teacher." The other party told him enthusiastically, "She is a beautiful red-haired beauty."

Megumi didn't pay attention to this. After simply thanking them, he went to inquire about the next target. When he found Sugisawa Hospital, the red sun setting in the west had already sunk into the mountains, and the rich night color dyed the sky. Maybe it was because of the cold night wind. There was a coldness that silently pressed on his heart.

Megumi found the boy in the hospital. He was in mourning. If he could, he really didn't want to disturb him, but it happened that he had taken the special grade cursed object. Or else, he might have to go down to accompany his relatives who died.

"Give me the things quickly before anyone is killed." Megumi had a calm face and a cold tone.

"I've already said I don't care anymore." Yuji threw the box out.

He was really not in a good mood right now.

In short, the special grade cursed object— Ryomen Sukuna’s finger was lost again.

On a mediocre road, two teenagers ran towards school like they were desperate.

To be honest, this kind of posture was most common when you wake up and realize that you were going to be late, but it was late at night, and compared to this terrible situation, Yuji was more willing to wake up early in the morning and look at the alarm clock to found himself late.

Sasaki-senpai and Iguchi-senpai, who took the finger away, said they would reveal the talisman at school tonight.

The curses placed in the school to ward off evil spirits essentially use more evil curses to deter other curses, playing the role of fighting poison with poison. After a long period of time, the seal that suppressed the curse gradually weakened, the cursed object became the bait of the curse, and the seal became a piece of waste paper that could be easily opened.

There was no doubt that the two students in the bait, along with the cursed object, would be swallowed up by the curse indiscriminately.

"You stay here." Megumi's face darkened as he climbed up the iron gate of the school. In the dark night, his face looked gloomy. He almost told him in a commanding tone, "You stay here."

Dog howls echoed in the empty night sky, sticky malice filled the world on the other side of the iron fence, and the twisted roars of curses were deafening.

Megumi and his two shikigami dogs chased the curse all the way to the corridor. At the end of the corridor were a boy and a girl with most of their bodies trapped in the curse.

With a crash, the glass window in the corridor was kicked open. The broken glass splashed in the cold moonlight. The boy grabbed the window frame with one hand. The moment he let go, his body moved in a way that was extremely unfit for a human body. He made a mid-air turn according to his movement patterns, punched the cursed body with one punch, and fished out a boy and a girl inside.

The timely cursed force hit the cursed body, and the flesh was torn open, the heart was broken, and blood that was different from human beings was splashed on the wall and floor. Two shikigami dogs, one black and one white, opened their mouths, exposed their fangs, and bite down the still alive and kicking two curses. The arthropod-like curses struggled in the mouths of the two dogs, but they could not avoid the fate of being eaten.

Yuji fished out the finger-like charm from Sasaki-senpai's pocket, but the ceiling twisted at the same moment, and a huge hand reached out from the chaos.

Without thinking, Megumi pushed Yuji away and fell out.

The reinforced concrete wall was directly smashed open, the circuit was torn open, dazzling sparks burst out from the incision, the ribs let out an overwhelmed whine, the internal organs were ruptured, the nerves spread pain throughout the body, and warm liquid flowed down his forehead.

The curse smashed the wall of the teaching building and rushed out. The huge impact pushed the thin boy from the teaching building to the rooftop of the building next door.

Megumi got up from the ground in embarrassment and watched Yuji being thrown into the sky together with the d*mn finger.

"Idiot, I told you to give me that thing! Otherwise you will be eaten!" The boy's roar echoed across the rooftop.

Megumi's first impression of Yuji was that of a gorilla with an unclear mind, but he didn't expect that this person's mind could be any clearer.

This guy just swallowed Sukuna's finger in one gulp!

"You idiot!" Megumi couldn't help shouting. 'The highly poisonous curse and Sukuna's fingers would kill you if you eat them!'

Even if he didn't die, he would become the cursed body.

Megumi was almost driven crazy by him.

In the world of sorcerers, death was a common occurrence, and death was nothing new. But if he had to choose one person to die, he would rather die himself.

Yuji Itadori, he was a good person and he didn't deserve to die.

At this moment, the bright moonlight peeled away the layers of dark clouds and fell into the world, illuminating the mess underneath.

The boy caught in the curse's hand seemed lifeless.

Something was rolling in the air, and as the distance got closer, it became clearer.

The whizzing cement board directly hit the curse spirit's mouth, breaking the teeth and smashing into the mouth. The force was so strong that Megumi directly heard the sound of bones breaking and muscles cracking. Blood spurted out and splashed all over the young man.

A hand pulled up the railing of the rooftop. The owner of the hand jumped up from under the railing, jumped up with amazing speed and jumping ability, turned around in the air, and kicked the cursed spirit. The cursed spirit was kicked out fiercely. It smashed into the teaching building on the other side, and the floors above the fourth floor wailed, dust fell rustling from the walls, and the raised dust blurred the vision.

More exaggerated strange power than Yuji.

What... strange power was this?!

Megumi saw a bright red color, like a burning fire, and her eyes seemed to be flowing with molten gold, full of weirdness and indifference.

The red-haired woman grabbed the boy's waist and took the boy out of the curse's hands.

The curse over there was still wriggling. Megumi didn't feel any power of the cursed energy on this woman. Without the power of the curse, the cursed spirit could not be exorcised, so the cursed spirit was still alive.

"Yuji? Yuji!" Yayoi patted Yuji's face, but found that her brother did not respond to her.

An accident happened again at this moment. Yuji moved, a strong curse breath spread from her brother, and all the senses were telling Yayoi frantically that it was dangerous, dangerous, very dangerous.

*boom—*

The unwilling cursed spirit came out again and rushed out of the teaching building. The tiles and slates were lifted off, and the roaring wind whipped up, and the floor of the teaching building shook wildly.

The rapid progress came to an abrupt halt, and Yayoi watched helplessly as her younger brother standing in front of her tore open the cursed spirit's body, and the bones, internal organs, pieces of meat, and fur were scattered in the moonlight.

Yayoi's pupils shrank and shivered.

In sight, the skin under Yuji's eyes cracked with a small gap, and then the gap opened, and the red eyes were exposed to the air. The moment the two pairs of eyes opened, they no longer had the amber pupils similar to hers. It was as red as hot blood.

Yayoi watched helplessly as her cute and well-behaved brother let out a series of crazy, weird laughter, and sighed intoxicatedly towards the moon hanging on the sky.

"Sure enough, the moonlight has to be experienced personally!"

Her ototo looked up at the moon and tore his clothes to pieces. The skin of his upper body was exposed to the moonlight. The boy's muscles were full and his body curves were smooth.

Megumi's heart had gone cold. The worst, the worst case scenario had occurred, and the special grade cursed object had gained a body!

Yayoi pupils trembled.

"The meat of the cursed spirit is so boring." The other party tore the remaining fabric on his body, "Where are humans, where are women? Women..."

*slap—*

An extremely sudden slap sounded in the air.

"Yuji Itadori! What nonsense are you talking about?!" Yayoi looked at her cute and well-behaved ototo in shock. She couldn't believe that after not seeing him for more than two hours, her brother turned into a pr*stitute looking for women!

Megumi watched helplessly as the furious redhead moved forward with lightning speed and slapped her ototo's face, which was so strong that the boy's face fell to the ground.

Yuji's face, which was stuck to the ground, slid forward half a meter against the rough ground.

Megumi: "..."
His own face hurt from the sight.

The cool wind of late spring and early summer blew away the floating dust on the rooftop. The bright full moon and the bright red hair formed a sharp contrast. The owner of the red hair was obviously very fiery. The red hair was as bright as blood, flying freely like burning flames, the veins on the forehead were protruding, and the eyes were as fierce as a tigress.

Megumi swallowed, feeling inexplicably scared.

Yuji got up from the ground in a daze and saw his sister with blue veins on her face. The moonlight was beautiful, but his sister was very angry. He was a little cold and his face hurt a little.

Yuji looked at himself and found that his upper body was naked.

"Hah—?!!"

"What hah? Are you going out to seduce women behind my and grandpa's back? Men will be punished if they are promiscuous outside!" Yayoi punched Yuji on the head, hitting the little tiger until stars appeared in his eyes.

The little tiger sat on the ground with a freshly baked bun on his head, looking at his sister in confusion, "What did I say to myself? I didn't say anything, sister!"

Megumi: "..."

This toxic siblings.
