Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King.

"No way, no way~" When praised by a female elder who had exactly the same aesthetic taste as him, Yuji Itadori's face immediately turned red and he kept waving his hands to be modest.

Huiyuan Xiong continued to explain: "Ms. Mingming released the crow just now, probably to investigate the situation inside the subway station with her own eyes and find the best route to travel."

"correct."

Mingming did not deny it, and put away his lighthearted smile, saying solemnly: "I have a general idea of ​​the situation inside."

"Yujin, kill a bunch of weak cyborgs, or exorcise a powerful cursed spirit, which one do you choose?"

"Uh--"

The sudden heavy atmosphere made Yuji Itadori feel at a loss, and the cruel truth spoken by Mingming also made him break out in a cold sweat.

Just when he was hesitant, Mingming had already made a choice for him and said clearly:

"Well~"

"Given your personality, you will definitely choose the latter."

talking.

Mingming took out his cell phone, spent three seconds tapping and sketching, then turned the screen over and gestured to Itadori Yuji:

"This is the underground map of this station. I have sent it to your phone, Youren."

in the screen.

The map copied by Mingming looks like the screen of an ancient horizontal game.

From the first underground floor to the fifth underground floor, it is composed entirely of horizontal bars representing the ground and zigzag lines representing stairs. It is simple and easy to understand yet detailed enough.

"The place where the cyborgs are rampant and attacking ordinary people is the fourth underground floor, while ordinary people should be on the platform on the fifth underground floor."

"Should?" Yuji Itadori's small eyes were full of doubts.

Mingming explained: "The crows I commanded were unable to enter the fifth underground floor because of the cursed power they carried."

"It should be that the cyborgs drove the ordinary people away, forcing them to flee underground, which led to the current situation."

"And my crows were killed between the first and second underground floors. The curse spirit or curse master who set up the 'tent' was here."

"I don't know whether it was to hunt ordinary people going up, or whether it was due to the conditions of the 'tent'. The reason for choosing that location and the purpose of isolating the fifth underground floor are all unknown."

"It's right there!" Pointing at the dark depths of the subway station entrance, Yuji Itadori's face was full of indifference and ferocity like the cold-faced god of death.

"That guy is right down here!"

"..."

Feeling the strong murderous aura that was difficult to conceal emanating from Yuji Itadori, Mingming was silent for a moment and continued:

"It's hard to say. The crows were destroyed before I even saw the stitched face."

"But since there are cyborgs, then it should be correct."

"Although dispersing our forces has certain risks, with Huiyuan here, we can reduce this risk to near zero."

talking.

Mingming turned to look at Huiyuan Xiong.

Huiyuan Xiong patted his chest heavily and said, "Just leave it to me. I will protect the safety of Miss Mingming and the lives of those in your pocket!"

"It's not a crime to run away, but it's justified to live!"

"I'll fight!"

talking.

Huihara Yu made Bruce Lee's classic starting move, took small steps on the spot to warm up, raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, and kept making strange noises.

See this.

Mingming and Yuji Itadori looked at each other silently.

"What should I do, Sister Mingming? I suddenly don't want to be saved by Senior Huiyuan. I feel a little ashamed = ="

"Feel the same."

"If you don't want to be saved by Huibara, then work hard."

"Oh!"

despair!despair!despair!

Another round of tapping on the phone.

A cross-sectional view of the subway station was displayed on Mingming's mobile phone.

"We must act now. If we delay any longer, all the ordinary people on the fourth underground floor will die."

"In order to rescue all ordinary people as quickly as possible, Huiyuan and I will act together."

"We will enter from Exit 7, which leads directly to the fourth underground floor. If you encounter any danger, you should also go down to the fourth underground floor."

"The best case scenario is that by the time you meet up with us, the 'account' has been lifted, the ordinary people have been released, and we have figured out the enemy's purpose in isolating the fifth underground floor."

"It's okay, Sister Mingming." Yuji Itadori's eyes were firm: "I won't lose again!"

Before leaving.

Yu Haibara turned around and made a gesture to Yuji Itadori, saying "Call me if you need anything", but Yuji Itadori just smiled it off.

……

『21:03』

Meiji Jingumae Station, Metropolitan Subway Station, 2nd basement floor.

After separating from Meimei and Haibara Yu, Yuji Itadori came here alone.

As soon as he got off the elevator, he saw a huge humanoid locust curse spirit with one head and six arms, a dark green body, and black tiger stripes, crawling on the ground and gnawing on something.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

tread!tread!tread!

Hearing the footsteps of someone coming, the locust turned back blankly.

"Ok?"

"!!"

However, Yuji Itadori's pupils shrank suddenly.

I saw.

The locust curse spirit's mouth was full of beige carnivorous fangs and sharp teeth, which were covered with sticky blood. The long and sharp canine teeth on both sides of its upper jaw were bleeding continuously onto the ground.

Tick! Tick! Tick!

The locust curse spirit is holding the object in its hand.

——It was actually a headless corpse of a man in a suit whose head had been bitten off!

"What the hell are you looking at?!"

"Can't you see that they are eating?!"

The locust curse spirit had a hot temper and roared angrily, and it could speak human language that was exclusive to high-level curse spirits without any effort.

From Yuji Itadori's perspective, the headless corpse's hands were even trembling. It was obvious that he had died not long ago and his body still had some fear response to pain.

A burning rage surged in his heart, and Yuji Itadori frowned deeply, staring at the locust curse spirit with fierce eyes.

After a moment of stunned silence, the locust curse spirit seemed to recognize Yuji Itadori's identity, but said incoherently: "You, you are... curse-curse-curse... curse-curse-curse... curse... curse... a curser, right?"

"..."

Yuji Itadori's hands fell limply, his eyes were covered by a dark shadow, and he did not respond.

See this.

The locust curse spirit threw the headless body aside like trash, pointed at Yuji Itadori with a hand stained with human blood, and asked again, not giving in:

"You're a sorcerer, right?"

"Hey, I'm very smart!"

Yuji Itadori answered the question irrelevantly, and suddenly looked up and asked, "He's here, right? Where is the cursed spirit with the patched face?"

"Mending... the face?" The locust curse spirit repeated doubtfully: "Mending the face??"

Seeing that the locust cursed spirit didn't look very smart before, Yuji Itadori controlled his temper and asked vividly, using both hands and feet: "It's the one with the suture marks on its face = ="

The look that Yuji Itadori gave him, as if he was looking at a fool, made the Locust Curse Spirit feel offended. He pointed at himself and shouted in dissatisfaction:

"Don't look down on me!"

"Of course I know that!"

"I'm so smart!"

then.

The clever locust curse spirit cleverly sold out all its intelligence: "The real person is downstairs, and I am here to guard the 'tent'."

"Real person..."
