Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King

Student Activity Center.

"What time is it now?"

"The short hand points to 11 o'clock."

A cursed spirit with horse mane on its back, a human body and a frog face with four eyes, wandered in the corridor on the fourth floor, humming to itself about the time.

'What on earth is that thing? ! '

Sasaki "Maki" was hiding at the corner of the corridor at this moment, covering her lips with her hands to avoid being afraid of making a sound. The cursed spirit, which could only move straight for the time being, did not notice her.

And there was no figure of "Toudou" in the well beside her.

As soon as the two opened the talisman paper, they were frightened by the cursed spirit that was attracted and fled separately, completely ignoring each other.

When the cursed spirit with a human body and a horse mane and a frog face with four eyes completely disappeared, Sasaki "Maki" was about to sneak away from here and look for help.

Suddenly.

"Sa, Sa, Ki~"

The voice of "Toudou" in Iguchi came out from behind her intermittently.

"Iguchi, great, where did you go? I couldn't find you anywhere..."

Sasaki "Maki" breathed a sigh of relief, looked back, but her lips and teeth couldn't stop trembling.

I saw.

Iguchi "Toudou" appeared from the shadows.

His head was completely wrapped by a strange creature shaped like a "face hugger", without showing his facial features, and his whole body was like a puppet controlled by its spirit!

"!!"

The cursed spirit on Iguchi "Toudou"'s head was still constantly pulling and tearing his face, as if it wanted to completely devour him from the head.

Sasaki "Maki" was so scared that he froze in place.

At this moment.

"What time is it now~"

The cursed spirit with a human body and a frog face that had walked away earlier was attracted back by the voice of "Toudou" in the well mouth.

It suddenly appeared without warning behind the edge of the corner where Sasaki "Maki" was leaning against, and a dry, ugly, broad palm directly wiped Sasaki "Maki"'s face.

"Ah--Wu!!!"

At the same time.

Kick! Kick! Kick! Kick! Kick!

Fushiguro Megumi had just finished climbing the third floor and was approaching at a very fast speed.

"The curse has been activated!"

"The breath is still so strong!"

"Which cursed spirit swallowed Sukuna's finger!"

Bang!

A knight kicked open the half-open door of the fourth floor.

An ugly cursed spirit with spider legs in the lower body, ham sausage in the upper body with eyeballs and a big mouth blocked Fushiguro Megumi's way.

"Trash, get out of my way!"

As the cursed power surged, Fushiguro Megumi's speed increased instead of slowing down. He turned into a human-shaped missile and smashed the "second-level" cursed spirit with his head.

The next moment.

He rushed forward.

He instantly broke through the low-level cursed spirits that came one after another.

He encountered a group of "first-level" cursed spirits that were as heavy as a small mountain, and their bodies were made up of various animal corpses and human remains.

"Is that you?"

"The culprit with a big appetite!"

Fushiguro Megumi originally wanted to try and continue to use the beating technique to exorcise this "first-level" cursed spirit and refresh his PB.

PB=Personal Best, which is a personal best, often used in track and field events such as running.

However.

The two people held in the mouth and hanging on the body of this meat mountain cursed spirit were the two people who were the target of this rescue, which made Fushiguro Megumi's body, which was originally preparing for a second acceleration, stop instantly.

"How can you repair it!"

"You beast, do you want to threaten me with these two people?"

As long as Fushiguro Megumi has the intention to approach, the meat mountain curse spirit will immediately bite and tear Sasaki "Maki" and Iguchi "Toudou".

Blood splattered everywhere,

It was chilling.

The two had lost consciousness before Fushiguro Megumi arrived.

Their clothes were torn and their heads were bleeding.

At this moment, their life energy was even lowered to the freezing point!

The meat mountain curse spirit instinctively felt the threat of two deaths from the shadow of the human in front of him, so it was rare to have a clear mind and use some brains, but not much.

"You really make me angry!"

"Zenyuan Sensai once said that when doing things, you must always keep your thoughts open."

"In that case, you can't stay!"

Fushiguro Megumi crossed his hands and instantly made a deer-shaped hand shadow.

"円——"

Bang! ! !

Just as he was about to summon Enka, the cursed spirit nemesis.

To give this ugly, filthy, treacherous and cunning meat mountain cursed spirit a positive energy SPA, a baptism of body and soul.

But at this moment.

A figure that was beyond Fushiguro Megumi's expectations, somehow, broke the glass outside the fourth floor and jumped here.

At the same time, it also interrupted his spell.

A few minutes ago.

At the back gate of Sugizawa Third High School.

After Fushiguro Megumi left.

Yuji Itadori was stunnedHe stayed there for a long time without moving.

He wanted to go, but he was a little afraid.

Yuji Itadori had a human instinctive fear of the extraordinary existence that he did not know.

"Can I only listen to what he said and wait here?"

"What am I afraid of?"

They will die!

'Death? '

'Yes~ the breath of death is approaching. '

'I am afraid of death too, how can I not be afraid of death? '

'But... am I really afraid? It seems that I have no feeling at all. '

'When my grandfather died, I cried, not because I was afraid, but because I felt a little lonely. '

'Now, the death that is about to happen makes me feel my weakness and powerlessness. Can I do nothing but watch my grandfather die? '

His hands dangling and shaking uncontrollably, Yuji Itadori questioned himself.

"Both are "death", is there any difference?"

You are powerful, so you have to save others.

Grandpa's last words suddenly came to his mind.

Yuji Itadori looked at his hands that couldn't stop shaking, pursed his lips, and was speechless.

'Am I really strong? '

In a trance.

Yuji Itadori seemed to have returned to his youth.

Cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the breeze was gentle.

Dad and Mom were rarely here, and the three of them shuttled through the rain forest of petals together, enjoying the tranquility and beauty.

The short-haired beautiful woman with some traces of surgery on her forehead smiled quietly at the young figure with cherry pink hair who was looking far away on the shoulders of the white-haired and blue-eyed young man.

"Dad, I accidentally pinched a classmate and made him cry today. They think I'm too strong and don't want to play with me." The boy was very distressed about this.

The young man thought without hesitation: "This is a good thing~ Yuji is very strong, so he doesn't need to play with the weak."

"But I want to play with them, Dad, can you let me not be so strong?" The boy shook the young man's head and asked.

"They all say I'm a gorilla, but I'm not a gorilla!"

Hearing this.

The young man smiled and explained:

"But if I had more strength, Yuujin could protect my father and mother from being bullied by bad guys, and I could also protect my favorite classmates."

This was the first time that the boy established the concept of "strength" in his mind - strength is protection.

"Yuujin, although you may not understand it now, "having a sword in hand" and "having a sword but not using it" are two different things."

"The time when you need strength will always come."

"Okay, then I still hope to have more strength, and I will protect the happiness of my father, mother and grandfather!"

The boy's sincere and enthusiastic emotions made the white-haired blue-eyed young man and the shoulder-length short-haired beautiful woman smile at each other, and both of them were relieved.

"But I still want to play with my classmates~"

The boy's head drooped between the young man's snow-white hair, and he was very confused about controlling his own strength, and his little face was bitter.

"Dumb tape~"

The young man laughed and said confidently:

"When Yujin grows up a little bit, he will naturally be able to control his power."

"As long as you wish, fate will definitely be on your side. After all, you are my son..."
