Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King

Chapter 164

After being played around by Mirai like a dog, Sukuna became completely silent, and no matter how Mirai teased him, he would not respond.

This was exactly what Mirai wanted, so he wouldn't have to come out and yell again.

"Dad, are these ten fingers the same as the one I swallowed? That thing called 'special cursed object'."

"That's right."

Mirai threw the ten Sukuna fingers in his hand up and down like circus props, and Sukuna in Yuji Itadori's body was so angry that he laughed and dared not speak.

"There are a total of twenty of these things."

"The ten in my hand, the one in your body, the five kept by the technical college, and the four lost."

"Well~"

A nasty smile suddenly appeared on Mirai's face, "Originally, the technical college kept six, but I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, so I snatched one to make it even ω"

"Ha..."

Itadori Yujin felt that it was difficult to comment on the "snatch" in his father's mouth, so he simply ignored it.

"If there are a total of twenty...oh, do you count the hands and feet?"

"Then his toes are quite long, more like an orangutan than me, hahaha!"

"No."

Mirai denied: "Unlike ordinary people, Sukuna has four hands."

Bang! ! !

A Sukuna finger was suddenly stimulated by the invisible repulsive cannonball in Mirai's hand, instantly blasting a bathtub-sized dent in the wall of the secret room and deeply embedded in it.

High temperature caused by the strong impact force.

Even part of the wall was melted into a deep red fluid state similar to magma.

However.

In Yuji Itadori's eyes, at least Sukuna's fingers would be deformed and worn.

Under such a strong blow, it did not change at all. It was what it should be, and it was harder than you could imagine.

"As you can see, this level of cursed objects cannot be destroyed. It seems to be the underlying law of this world. Even I can't do anything about it for the time being."

The repulsive force in his hand turned into gravitational force.

Mirai instantly sucked back the Sukuna finger, and explained:

"Since a certain time point a few years ago, the curse has become stronger and stronger, and the existing curse seals can no longer keep up."

"We can only recover them one by one and reseal them."

"As for the special cursed items in this set of special cursed items..." Mirai paused, pointed at Yuji Itadori, and said, "It's decided to be you!"

"Yuji, you can resist or even suppress Sukuna's possession. For the "Two-faced Sukuna Finger", you are a perfect container."

"At the very least-"

"As soon as you die, the curse in your body will die."

"At the beginning."

"When I learned of your existence."

"Those cowardly old ghosts in the senior management of the high-tech college can't wait to use you to get rid of the hot potato of "Two-faced Sukuna Finger" as soon as possible."

"But--"

"When they learned that you were my son, they shut up and stopped talking about it."

"That's right~"

"It's hard to say whether there will be another container like you, Yuuji, who can perfectly withstand the Sukuna curse in the future."

"So, Yuuji, you have two choices now."

The playful smile on Mirai's face faded a little, and he continued:

"First, I will find a way to remove the Sukuna finger in your body, and then everything will be restored to its original position, and you can enjoy the peaceful campus life of a non-magician again."

"Second, you take the initiative to become a container, absorb all the Sukuna fingers, and take the huge risk of possible death or possession."

"No matter what the second choice is, you will be completely disconnected from ordinary life, so I personally recommend the first one. What do you think?"

Hearing this.

Yuuji Itadori frowned tightly.

For him, who is only 15 years old now, this choice that determines his future life trajectory is too difficult.

Seeing this.

Mirai smiled and said:

"If you can't make a decision now, go visit your two frightened seniors. We still have a lot of time, so there's no rush."

"Yeah!"

...

Sugisawa Hospital.

Sasaki "Maki" drooped her head with guilt on her face.

Beside her.

Iguchi "Toudou" was wrapped in bandages all over his body, lying motionless on the bed.

Seeing this.

Yuji Itadori, who had just entered the ward, also had a worried look on his face.

"How is Senior Iguchi?"

"The doctor said there's nothing serious, but he hasn't regained consciousness yet..." Sasaki "Maki"'s voice gradually became smaller, and mixed with tears.

"It's all my fault..."

"It's all my fault for asking him to go to school at night..."

"You shouldn't believe it,A strange monster suddenly attacked us, and I was caught..."

Tears of shame fell from the girl's eyes like a waterfall.

In Yuji Itadori's eyes, he couldn't help but feel distressed. It had nothing to do with love between men and women, only the most sincere friendship.

"I believe in you, senior."

"They are not monsters, they are curses!"

"Huh?" Sasaki "Maki" was stunned when he heard it.

"That finger is called "Special Curse Object", which has the effect of attracting curses and strengthening curses."

"So..."

"Seniors are not wrong."

"I'm wrong for picking it up!"

The depression on his face only lasted for a moment, and Yuji Itadori's sunny smile returned again.

"Go me~"

"Because of my fault, seniors and seniors have encountered this kind of thing."

"But don't worry, the person who can cure Iguchi-senpai is outside, and I will work hard, and this kind of thing will not happen again."

"Yuji Itadori? "

From Yuji Itadori's words, Sasaki "Maki" could clearly feel his extraordinary awareness. Combined with the previous horrific experience, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

In response to this.

Yuji Itadori just smiled back.

"Tape!"

"Tape all!"

"I really still want to see the smiles of my seniors!"

The voice fell.

The boy has made his choice.

...

After purifying the remaining curse on Iguchi "Toudou" and slightly modifying the two people's memories of the curse through illusion.

Mirai and Yuji Itadori stood shoulder to shoulder at the hospital gate.

Behind the two was a slightly dim but full view of the trickle of people.

In front of the two was a dazzling exposure that was so brilliant that it was difficult to see the details.
