The person is cursing and is a conjurer

Chapter 143: New life.

When Nanami Kento mentioned Yuji Itadori, Shigure Asa noticed that he did not appear in the mission to exorcise the cursed spirit.

"Speaking of Yuji, where is he? Didn't he come with you?"

"Faced with the unknown curse that appeared in the mission, I was not sure of winning, so I asked him and Mr. Ijichi to investigate the surviving boy in the cinema."

Nanami Kento said, taking off his goggles, revealing a pair of narrow and sharp eyes, "But now it seems that these things have nothing to do with the child named Yoshino Junpei."

"Really?" Shi Yuqian lowered his head and thought for a while, then suggested, "I think it would be better for us to go there in person."

".Did you discover something?"

"Earlier, Ijichi showed me some of the information you obtained during your mission, which included detailed information about that child. The people who died in the cinema were more or less related to that boy, but he was safe and sound. Don't you think that's a little unreasonable?"

Shi Yuqian raised his hand: "Of course, the above is just my guess. If it really has nothing to do with him, then let's just think of it as caring about the bullied child."

"Bullying?"

"Oh? Didn't you look at Yoshino Junpei's profile? With a little analysis, we can guess why he dropped out of school. After all, he had good grades and didn't have any serious illnesses."

Nanami Kento had not thought about this and only glanced at the child's information. He paused and asked Shi Yuqian, "What should we do now? Should we go to the child's home and investigate directly?"

"No, no, no, that would be too rude and would alert Yoshino Junpei. By the way, as you said, Yuji Itadori and Ijichi have already contacted him, right? If they are both high school students, Yuji should be able to interact with him. Maybe we can ask Yuji Itadori to arrange a time to talk."

"Should we call Yuji and ask him now?" Shi Yuqian suggested.

Kento Nanami did not refuse. He took out his cell phone and called Yuji, and the call was connected quickly.

"Oh~ Nanami! Have you exorcised the curse?" A cheering young man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Nanami? Hahaha." Hearing Yuji Itadori calling Nanami Kento, Shigure Asa couldn't help but laugh, "So, Yuji Itadori calls you that too?"

Compared to Shigure Asa's playful laughter, Nanami Kento's expression sank: "Yuji-san, I told you not to call me like that, or I'll beat you up!"

Yuji Itadori muttered, "What does it matter? I don't think there is a better name for it."

"Where are you now?"

"Me? I'm about to go to Yoshinoya for dinner." When Yuji Itadori said this, he naturally talked about his contact with Junpei Yoshino, including why he went to Yoshinoya for dinner now.

Yuji Itadori is a nagging person. He talked a lot, for example: Junpei can see curses. He and Junpei both like to watch movies, and Earthworm Man 2 is really good. They met Yoshino's mother while chatting, and she invited Itadori to her home for dinner.
Since Nanami Kento was playing his voice out loud, Shigure Asa could also clearly hear what Yuji said.

After Yuji Itadori finished speaking, Nanami Kento asked about some important matters: "I already know the general situation. So, Itadori-san, could you please make an appointment with Yoshino? We still have some questions for him."

"Well, that shouldn't be a problem." Yuji Itadori said, "When do you want to make an appointment?"

Nanami Kento looked at Shigure Asa, who thought for a while, then took Nanami's phone and said to Itadori Yuji: "Yuji, do you still remember me?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Yuji Itadori quickly reacted, "You are Mr. Shigure? Are you with Nanami?"

"We bumped into each other because of the mission. I heard that you were going to Yoshinoya for dinner tonight, right? Although it's very presumptuous, I have to go back to the high school tomorrow to deal with other things. Can you ask Yoshino's mother if she minds having two more people for dinner?"

"Okay, I'll ask."

There was a faint sound of communication on the other end of the phone, "Eh? Is that Yuhito's teacher? That's no problem."

"Thank you~"

Soon after the conversation, Shigure Asa hung up the phone and returned the phone to Nanami Kento.

"Why are you in such a hurry to go to Yoshinoya? Wouldn't it be impolite to suddenly say that you are going to someone else's house for dinner?" Nanami Kento, who took the phone, asked Shigure Asa in confusion.

"Ah~ I really have something important to deal with starting tomorrow. As you know, the Tokyo Sister Exchange Meeting is about to begin. I have to give the students a harder time so that they can work harder and grow a little bit."

"I was just asking casually, but I didn't expect you to agree so quickly. Let's go, Nanami~ Let's buy some souvenirs first, and then we'll go to Yoshinoya."

Tokyo, the home of the curse, is a gathering place for cursed spirits hidden in a bustling city.

The old iron door was pushed open, and white light revealed several people in the darkness. The masked man wearing an evil ghost mask, carrying a real person on his back, was supporting Hua Yu's clepsydra.

As the door opened, the evening breeze blew gently and a greeting came from inside the house.

"Hey~ You guys are back?"

Yuan Suqing, who was wearing a gray-brown yukata, sat on the sofa and looked at the few people and continued: "Tsk tsk. They all look miserable."

"Hanagi, your horn was cut off, Leaky Pot. With the rising curse power, you swallowed Sukuna's finger? Masamune, how many times did you get chopped by others to make you look so unlucky?"

"But, everyone, it's good to come back alive, at least you don't..."

As he spoke, the second half of Yuan Suqing's words got stuck in his throat, because he suddenly found that there was one person missing from the crowd. After a long while, he said to himself, "So one person was exorcised."

"Torgon. It seems that I won't be able to feel the sea breeze in my room anymore, nor will I be able to see the sunshine and the beach. What a pity."

The few people ignored Yuan Suqing, and fell on the sofa like an old machine that was about to be scrapped, without any reaction.

The wind blew the old iron door, making a creaking sound from time to time.

The room was eerily quiet. After two consecutive crushing battles, the cursed party completely lost their arrogance, and a deep sense of powerlessness filled their hearts.

"We chose the right time to deal with them one by one, but we were beaten up one-sidedly. If those two guys teamed up, there would be no chance of winning at all."

The confusion of not being able to see the future and the sadness of leaving partners turned into dark clouds of haze, lingering invisibly above the clepsydra.

"Click~" The masked man took off the evil ghost mask and placed it on the coffee table, revealing an ordinary face. The dark blue cursed power burned on his hands like flames. When his hands brushed across his cheek with the cursed power, his appearance changed.

She has long and narrow eyeliner, black earrings, and a wisp of bangs on the left side of her forehead.

He was exactly the person Shi Yu Qian had guessed—"Xia Youjie". Unlike the expression of the cursed spirit as he collapsed powerlessly on the sofa, Xia Youjie closed his eyes and recalled the fight with Shi Yu Qian in the sewer during the day.

"This is my first time using this body to fight against the strongest sorcerer. Does it feel good? The original body has a high level of understanding and control over its own spells. The spell manipulation technique can not only recover the spells and turn them into its own strength, but also extract their spells for use on itself."

"If we combine them properly and use the extension of the cursed spirit's domain, we won't be at a big disadvantage whether we deal with Gojo Satoru or Shigure Asa alone."

"A guy like this actually died in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons that he himself launched? The values ​​he followed and his understanding of the world are really too shallow."

Just as "Xia Youjie" was recalling, a pure blue flame ignited out of nowhere in the house, and the heat wave formed by burning the air caused the temperature to rise sharply!

Yuan Suqing looked calmly at the clepsydra in the middle of the living room, and said in a calm voice, "Are you crazy? Leaky pot, using magic here will expose our position."

At this moment, Xia Youjie also opened his eyes and stared at the clepsydra with interest.

The phantom of the blue flame is set off by the shadow of the clepsydra. At this moment, the expression on its face is a little difficult to understand, indifferent and silent. Because of the afterglow of the flame, it looks somewhat deep.

"Do you think we really have a chance of defeating the sorcerer?"

"It turns out that you've lost all your confidence due to the blow, you idiot." Xia Youjie supported his chin with one hand, with a scornful smile in his words.

"If that's the case, I'd better give up my ideal of exchanging the status of humans and cursed spirits as soon as possible."

"."

As he spoke, the smile on Xia Youjie's face gradually faded. He stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked out at the dark night, and said in a cold voice: "The process of realizing one's ideal is no different from walking in the night with a candle in hand. You can see the road under your feet clearly, but you can't see the road ahead clearly." "The end of the endless road will destroy one's mind, and the wind and rain encountered along the way will also torture one's character. If you don't have the courage to fall and stand up from the beginning, please don't embark on this journey."

“Since I got tired of searching, I have learned to find it once I look for it; since a headwind hit me, I have been able to resist the wind from all directions and sail on.”

The PUA master, the curse spirit mentor with his hands behind his back, Xia Youjie, is officially online.

Yuan Suqing looked at Xia Youjie, who was facing away from him, and the corners of his mouth twitched frequently: "Where did this guy learn this set of MLM words from? It's too ridiculous, isn't it?"

"What. Should. We. Do?" The leaking pot's voice was a little stammering.

When Yuan Suqing turned around and looked at it, he found a few tears in the eyes of the leaking pot, "Really? Brother, you believed him? You won't be punished for deceiving the cursed spirit!"

"Let's get well in the next few days. Then we can have a good time with the sorcerers at the Tokyo Sisterhood Exchange Meeting held by the sorcerers."

Xia Youjie slowly turned around, put his index finger between his lips, and whispered, "Don't worry, we will win!"

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The silver moonlight fell like a tide on the residential areas in Kawasaki City. At night, cicadas and frogs chirped incessantly, and the breeze was just right.

Yoshinoya is very lively tonight because of the guests. What used to be a quiet dinner for two people has turned into a party for five people.

"Already forty? I can't tell. I always thought Mrs. Yoshino was in her early thirties. Wow, you've taken really good care of yourself."

"Really? Haha, you really know how to talk."

Shigure Asa, Nanami Kento, Itadori Yuji and the Yoshino family were eating dinner around the table. Shigure Asa's nice words made Mrs. Yoshino laugh from time to time.

While they were chatting cheerfully, Mrs. Yoshino took out some chilled beer from the refrigerator.

"Want a beer?"

Shi Yuqian: "I have work tomorrow, so I won't drink tonight. I'm very sorry. However, Nanami is a great drinker, he's a heavy drinker!"

He touched Nanami Kento beside him to hint to him, and Nanami understood and took over the responsibility of drinking. The adults talked and drank with each other, and Yuji and Junpei were also chatting happily.

After drinking for more than thirty minutes, Mrs. Yoshino was a little tipsy and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Because of this, the topic of the dinner changed quietly. Shigure Asa picked up the vegetables on the plate and suddenly asked Yoshino Junpei: "Junpei, do you know that we are sorcerers?"

The unexpected question made Yoshino Junpei a little overwhelmed. He responded with a smile: "Spellcaster? What is that? Is he also a teacher?"

"When people lie, their eyes wander, just like yours does now."

Shigure Asa tapped the bowl gently with chopsticks. The "bang bang bang" sound made Yoshino Junpei blush with nervousness.

"Teacher Shigure"

Itadori Yuji seemed to want to explain something for the friend he had just met, but Shigure Asa didn't give Itadori a chance to speak. He continued to ask, "You should have seen the curse, right? The stitched face."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

Yoshino Junpei lowered his head, staring at the unfinished beef on the plate, trying to keep himself calm.

"Really? But I saw some of your recent experiences in you. You should have communicated with him for some time."

"Huh? How is that possible? Can you see other people's experiences? What nonsense are you talking about?" Yoshino Junpei raised his head to refute, but saw a pair of golden eyes that were as bright as flames.

"your eyes."

"Don't lie to me."

Yoshino Junpei was speechless. He did not choose to continue speaking, as if he was ready to use silence to counter the questions raised by Shigure Asa.

"Is that so? The reason you didn't answer is because you have a good relationship with him?"

The boy remained silent.

Seeing this, Shigure Asa was ready to put some psychological pressure on Yoshino Junpei: "Will you consider the people around you? For example: your mother"

"What do you mean?"

"We curse masters are different from the police. The attitude of those old men above is that they would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. You have close communication with curses, so we can definitely identify you as a curse master."

"The fate of the curse master."

Shi Yu Qian raised her eyebrows and looked at Yoshino Junpei at the opposite table with a sneer. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped a few degrees and it became a little cold.

"If you died, your mother would be very sad, right?"

"!!!", Yoshino Junpei stood up excitedly, and he suddenly shouted at Shi Yu Qian: "You guys, why are you all like this?!"

A phantom shadow appeared in the air, like a huge jellyfish. The jellyfish opened its tentacles and attacked Shi Yuqian. The young man in front of him took the first step, as if he wanted to get rid of the person who threatened him.

"Junpei!"

Yuji Itadori shouted.

In an instant, cold air gushed out, and the jellyfish with tentacles extending in the air were frozen into ice cubes. Yoshino Junpei was lifted from his position by Shigure Asa and pushed against the wall.

"Okay, now that your identity has been confirmed, Curse Master, Yoshino Junpei, do you have any last words to say? Oh, I think your mother would be very sad to know about your death. You should say less boring words, right?"

"Teacher Shigure!" Yuji Itadori looked at Kento Nanami, as if wanting him to stop Shigure Asa's behavior.

But Kento Nanami sat calmly in his seat, without any intention of making any move. He even signaled to Yuji Itadori with his eyes, telling him not to get excited.

Shi Yuqian punched the wall, and the cold air covered the wall with frost.

"Do you know what you are doing? Do you know what kind of creature you are protecting? It regards people as ants and uses the lives of children, the elderly, and women to please itself. For such a devil, you actually concealed his whereabouts and information from us."

"Do you have any conscience at all? Do you have any concept of life?"

"I" Yoshino Junpei breathed a little quickly, "I thought he only killed bad guys."

"Bad guys, what are bad guys? Do you mean those who bully you at school?"

"how do you know?"

"They are indeed hateful, but how are you any better than them now? If I had no strength, your sudden attack just now would have probably cost me my life, right?"

"No, I didn't!" Yoshino Junpei was a little dazed by Shi Yuqian's question, "It's not what you said, I just wanted to teach you a lesson."

As he said this, he was stunned for a moment, "Hey, I just..."

“When you meet a bad person, you should learn to protect yourself instead of hating the whole world. There are both good people and bad people in this world, and you can’t generalize everything.”

“No matter how bad the world is, there are always people patching it up.”

Shigure Asa let go of Yoshino Junpei and returned to his seat. What he said next caught everyone present off guard. "Junpei, do you want to transfer to the technical high school and become a sorcerer?"

"Just like Tiger Stick."
