Chapter 226 Strange
An unnamed island in Ryukyu.
The fine sand on the beach sparkled in the sunlight.
Seagulls caught fish and shellfish from the shallow, blue water, and coconut trees bent their trunks toward the sea.
The waves are rolling over and over, with white flowers piled onto the beach.
There are several colorful parasols on the beach, with rattan chairs and high tables underneath.
There were several figures of different sizes lying under the parasols, all of them looking relaxed and at ease.
A circular black hole suddenly appeared a few meters behind the lounge chair, and then the air began to fluctuate slightly. The few people who were enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze noticed the unusual situation behind them.
A slender figure stumbled out of the black hole.
"Oh, Miss Yuji, what's going on?" The young man with medium-length blue hair turned his head slightly. He was lying on a rattan chair with his head as a cushion. Even though he saw his companion in such a depressed state, he still looked calm and at ease.
He took off his large beach sunglasses, revealing a face full of seams, and his heterochromatic eyes, one yellow and one blue, had a strange beauty.
It's called worry, but it's more like ridicule that has been packaged in layers.
"...Nozomi, have you met Gojo Satoru?" Volcano Head Curse, who was sitting in the sun without any shade, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice.
It picked up the hermit crab that was clamped on its trouser leg, burned it into charcoal with a whoosh, and threw it aside with a snap of its fingers.
"Cough, cough cough..." Kaori Itadori was in a miserable state. Her exquisite women's jacket was covered with scratches, her jeans were torn in several pieces, and there was a deep wound on her calf.
The tall Hanamika walked over and helped her up. The fingertips of his right hand extended and grew, rippling with vitality like a dead tree in spring. The thick and pure cursed power enveloped Kaori Itadori's whole body.
It reached out and pulled up Kaori Itadori.
"Thank you...Hanagi." Kaori Itadori's face looked ugly, her eyes were full of fatigue, and she gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
Hua Yu shook his head slightly and continued to output soft cursed energy with the scent of plants.
With its support, Kaori Itadori walked slowly towards that end.
The giant octopus balls soaking in the shallow sea also turned their heads to look at her, waving hundreds of tiny tentacles and swimming towards her, spitting out sea water from their mouths.
Louhu looked at Kaori Itadori coldly and did not say any words of comfort.
“…Not Gojo Satoru.”
Kaori Itadori spoke slowly.
The first sentence was beyond the expectations of all the cursed spirits present.
...Of course, except for Tagore who was swimming on his back in the sea.
Although Torgon, who looks like a giant octopus dumpling, is also a top-grade curse, he is currently in a "cursed fetus" state, which means that both his intelligence and strength are greatly restricted.
After all, now it can only soak in the water and spit bubbles.
“——It’s Su Ze.” Kaori Itadori’s face was pale and her voice trembled slightly.
"That Chairman, Su Ze?" Louhu widened his one eye, veins on his forehead bulged, bloodshot in his eyes was scarlet.
"...Yes, the chairman of the Jujutsu Committee and the leader of the new generation, Su Ze." Kaori Itadori's eyes flickered, containing complex emotions.
"Didn't you say he was not as good as Gojo Satoru? Why is he still so embarrassed—" Louhu was obviously a little skeptical.
"It was my negligence..." Kaori Itadori did not make too many excuses, but instead admitted her mistake frankly.
"I don't know what means he used to detect me who was hiding in the dark—" Kaori Itadori frankly told the truth.
It was truly unexpected that Su Ze could accurately capture her hiding place.
As a result, the opponent was able to rain down swords while he was completely unprepared. Then, with thousands of falling swords as the source, he launched a second round of fatal attacks almost seamlessly.
The most crucial reason why she was almost powerless to fight back was that Su Ze had no moral principles at all.
Whether it was before the first wave of sword rain, pretending to chat with Fushiguro Megumi while secretly locking her position to determine her location; or before the second round of sword formation, taking advantage of the opportunity of talking to me to secretly accumulate energy for the attack...
These are not very "above board" methods.
Of course, if she were asked to evaluate her secret conspiracy over the past thousand years, she would definitely say that she was "resourceful."
Of course, the most crucial point that allowed her to be ambushed by Su Ze was that she didn't notice Su Ze's little movements at all!
In this way, it is equivalent to poor Miss Itadori, who was caught off guard and suffered two consecutive powerful attacks from a top swordsman.
"But it's not completely a waste of effort this time." Yuji Kaori bent over and sat on the edge of the chair, "At least, I understand where Su Ze's strengths lie—"
That is to say, he is good at "far" but not familiar with "near".
Otherwise, he could have chased after me directly instead of using the Bagua Flying Sword as the final weapon for the harvest.
Of course, no matter whether Su Ze chases her or not, "Veluri" will teleport her away.
"Noose. Whether it's Gojo Satoru or Su Ze, these are not the key points--" The person who had been under the parasol on the far right suddenly spoke slowly.
He was wearing a black and white cassock and had short white hair. Until just now, he had been sitting upright and not saying a word.
He turned his head, revealing his feminine face, with his eyes slightly drooping, looking indifferent and ruthless. He said in a calm tone: "Nozomi, I am with you only because you promised to bring Lord Sukuna back to the world again--"
"……certainly."
It was only then that the injury of Yuji Kaori was barely under control. Su Ze's sword energy was so sharp that even if the skin was pierced by the flying sword's strong wind, it would cause tearing pain that went straight into the bone marrow.
Not to mention the parts that were directly penetrated.
To make an analogy, it is like there is some kind of characteristic in the cursed energy.
——For example, hundreds of years ago, there was a sorcerer whose cursed power contained lightning.
The young boy with a feminine face frowned, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "The "Container of Sukuna" has now fallen into the control of the high school. And with the high-level curse masters, those old guys who are rotten to the core, there is a high probability that they will directly wipe him out-"
His tone became unfriendly, and the wide sleeves and hem of his robe fluttered in the wind, and it seemed that the temperature around him dropped a little. The little turtle that was crawling towards the sea from his feet almost instantly stiffened, and then fell to the side.
"You have sent two of the fingers that contain Sukuna-sama's soul and cursed power into the hands of the enemy... Nose, tell me, how can you guarantee that you can resurrect Sukuna-sama?!" His face was furious, and his eyes were covered with a layer of transparent frost. The coldness around him had spread to Kaori Itadori's feet.
"Rime, calm down." Itadori Kaori looked calm, "Itadori Yuji was indeed the container I created to carry Sukuna... but that doesn't mean he is the 'only container' I prepared--"
"Although he didn't swallow Sukuna's finger, his existence itself is a time bomb that makes the world of curse unstable—" Yuji Kaori smiled with narrowed eyes, and said slowly, "You have been sleeping until recently when you were reincarnated and reappeared in the world... You may not understand that the world of curse today is very different from that of the past thousand years."
