Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King

"No way, no way~" Yuji Itadori blushed immediately when he was praised by a female elder who matched his aesthetic taste very well, and he kept waving his hands to be modest.

Huihara Yu continued to explain: "Miss Meimei released the crow just now, probably to explore the situation inside the subway station with her own eyes and find the best route."

"Correct answer."

Mingming did not deny it, retracted her relaxed smile of family matters, and said solemnly: "I have a general understanding of the situation inside."

"Yuji, kill a large group of weak cyborgs, or exorcise a powerful cursed spirit, which one do you choose?"

"Uh--"

The sudden heavy atmosphere made Yuji Itadori at a loss, and the cruel facts in Meimei's mouth also made him sweat coldly.

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

"Well~"

"With your personality, you must choose the latter."

Said.

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

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

On the screen.

The map copied by Mingming looked like the picture of an old horizontal game.

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

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

"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 they carried cursed power."

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

"And my crows were destroyed between the first and second underground floors. The cursed spirits or curse masters who set up the 'tent' were 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."

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

"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. I haven't even seen the patched face before the crows were destroyed."

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

"Although there is a certain risk in dispersing the troops, with Huihara here, we can reduce this risk infinitely to a level close to zero."

Said.

Mingming turned his head and looked at Huihara Yu.

Huihara Yu patted his chest heavily and said, "Just leave it to me. I will protect the safety of Miss Mingming and the lives in a big bag!"

"Running away is not a crime, but living in disgrace is justified!"

"I'll fight!"

Said.

Huihara Yu made Bruce Lee's classic starting move, warmed up with small steps on the spot, raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, and kept screaming.

Seeing this.

Mingming and Yuji Itadori looked at each other silently.

"What should I do, Meimei, I suddenly don't want to be saved by Haibara-senpai, I feel a little ashamed = ="

"I feel the same."

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

"Oh!"

Click! Click! Click!

Another series of taps on the phone.

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

"We must act immediately. 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, Haibara and I will act together."

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

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

"It's okay, Meimei." Yuji Itadori looked determined: "I will never lose again!"

Before leaving.

Haibara Yu turned around and made a "call me if you need anything" gesture to Itadori Yuji, who just laughed it off.

…

『21:03』

Meiji Jingumae Station, Metropolitan Subway, second basement floor.

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

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

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Hearing the sound of the comingThe locust looked back blankly at the sound of footsteps.

"Huh?"

"!!"

Hisahito Itadori's pupils shrank sharply.

All he saw was.

The locust cursed spirit had a mouth full of beige carnivorous sharp teeth, which were covered with sticky blood, and the long canines on both sides of the upper jaw were bleeding continuously on the ground.

Tick! Tick! Tick!

And the object in the locust cursed spirit's hand.

—— It was 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 I'm eating?!"

The locust cursed spirit had a hot temper and roared angrily, and the human language exclusive to high-level cursed spirits came out of his mouth.

From Hisahito Itadori's perspective, the palm of the headless corpse was even trembling. It was obviously dead not long ago, and the body still had a fear reaction to pain.

With a blazing rage in his heart, Yuji Itadori frowned fiercely, 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 ... The locust cursed spirit threw the headless body aside like trash, pointed at Yuji Itadori with a hand covered in human blood, and asked again:

"You are a sorcerer, right?"

"Hey, I'm very smart!"

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

"Patched...face?" The locust cursed spirit repeated in confusion: "Patched face?"

Seeing that the locust cursed spirit in front of him didn't look very smart, Yuji Itadori endured his temper, and asked vividly, using his hands and feet: "It's the one with the stitches on his face = ="

Yuji Itadori's eyes that looked like a fool made the locust cursed spirit feel offended. He pointed at himself and shouted:

"Don't look down on me!"

"Of course I know that!"

"I'm very smart!"

Then

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

"The real person..."
