Chapter 215 The chess player
Leaky Pot turned around angrily and said to the tall curse spirit behind him: "I clearly don't understand what you are saying, but the content goes straight into my brain! How disgusting!!"
Yuji Kaori smiled and eased the atmosphere, "Hana is also worried about you, why are you so mean~"
She paused, then continued, "Well... let's get back to the topic just now - of course there was a reason for using Sukuna's finger."
"…Is it really necessary to confirm this?" Louhu said in a deep voice, "Regarding Sukuna's strength——"
Yuji Kaori put one hand on her waist and looked carefully at the distance below the mountain. "The most obvious and easiest to understand point is to test Sukuna's strength. He is very special, and half-hearted tests are useless. Moreover, we got the desired result."
The staff of Kyoto High School could enter and exit the barrier freely. Kaori Itadori carefully observed the subtle changes in the barrier at this moment.
Leaky Pot squinted and said, "...I hope you are not making excuses. I don't think you have anticipated the situation on the other side—"
……
Saitama Prefecture, Eighty-Eight Bridges.
Nanami Kento was holding a young girl in his arms. She was wearing a high school uniform, with her long ponytail hanging in the air. The girl closed her eyes gently, breathing evenly, with a calm expression, and seemed to be asleep.
There were several rips on Nanami's indigo shirt, and there were some blood stains on the sleeves. The suit jacket covered the girl.
After all, the weather is a bit cold now, and she was frowning and curled up just now.
"...Really, this shirt was given to me by Huibara—" Nanami tilted her head to look at the tear on her shoulder, and said to herself with a bit of regret, "I quite like it."
He stepped out of the shadow of the bridge, and the suddenly bright view made him squint slightly.
On the low embankment next to him, a man in a suit waved to him, "Mr. Nanami, this way! Thank you for your hard work on the mission—"
The man was holding a phone with his head tilted, holding another girl in his arms. His black-framed glasses made him look like an ordinary office worker.
"You've worked hard too, Ijichi." Nanami looked up at the other party and responded.
Ijichi was touched. He had never heard such words when he was on a mission with Gojo Satoru.
Instead, they have to endure many unreasonable requests from the other party, including but not limited to "Please write down the mission report for me~", "I'm too lazy to go back, you can handle the follow-up--", "Meeting at 8 o'clock? Why hold a meeting when I'm having breakfast?"...
——Mr. Gojo… Is it possible that you were eating breakfast during the meeting?
...I was also threatened not to tell Chairman Su Ze about those things.
Caught between many troublesome people, Ijichi has to do his best every day.
Yidizhi took out a special sealed bag with deep and ancient patterns on it, and several talismans were pasted on both sides.
Nanami walked up to it and threw what she had in her hand in.
"'Sukuna Finger', a special grade cursed item - this is no small matter." Ijichi looked serious, sealed the bag quickly, and then put it into a cowhide bag, "It must be reported to Mr. Suze."
"...Are the other three children okay?" Nanami asked while looking down at the sleeping Fushiguro Miki.
Ichichi hung up the communication with the "Assistance Class" and immediately responded: "Well, the other three just fainted, they should wake up soon-"
He paused and looked at the girl in Nanami's arms - she should be Fushiguro Megumi's sister.
"She's fine." Nanami saw his doubts, "But if she had come a little later, it might have been hard to say—"
Ijichi was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning of the second half of the other party's sentence.
"The technique of that thing and the feeling there don't seem like an ordinary curse nest." Nanami whispered.
……
Kyoto Technical High School, on the top of a mountain.
"One finger was used to deal with Geto Suguru a few years ago; the other was placed under the Eighty-Eight Bridge..." Leakage Pot said slowly, "Neither of them achieved what you wanted—"
Kaori Itadori smiled gently, her expression normal.
"…What are you trying to confirm, noose?!" The veins on Louhu's forehead bulged, and the bloodshot in his eyes was terrifyingly red. The magma of the volcano above his head was flying.
"Pfft..." Yuji Kaori suddenly laughed out loud, her laughter was crisp and lively, "Lehu, why do you think it was Geto Suguru who came here to clean up the mess?"
The clepsydra that was about to explode was stunned.
"Why wasn't it Gojo Satoru... but a special-grade who had long since "retired"?" Yuji Kaori wiped away the tears from her eyes and asked with a smile, "Could it be that they just didn't pass the information back to the high school?"
"...Isn't it?" The clepsydra was a little hesitant.
"Haha, but Geto Suguru just happened to receive the news--" Kaori Itadori's smile became even more intense.
"Su Ze is demonstrating to me." She didn't keep it a secret and gave the answer the next moment, "He is questioning me - "Aren't you hiding in the dark? Why are you still being constrained everywhere?" "
Lochu frowned tightly, thinking that what Kaori Itadori said was a little unbelievable.
How could a conspirator who had been plotting for thousands of years be seen through by a young man who was not even a fraction of his age?
——I’m afraid that the other party may not even be able to figure out the identity of the noose.
"Haha, I don't have the habit of flattering my enemies," Yuji Kaori put her right hand on his cheek, "Hei Musi was originally a discarded pawn - this thing cannot be controlled, it is used to test the reaction here and Su Ze's situation -"
Yuji Kaori narrowed her eyes and smiled, "The other party's reaction is actually equivalent to the "chess" that Su Ze has placed... This is a test, a two-way test."
"There was something beyond my expectation at the Eighty-Eight Bridge... I wonder what method that magician used—"
"As for the fingers you used up, don't worry about them."
She said a lot of things in succession.
The clepsydra listened with a frown.
Suddenly, Kaori Itadori felt someone was looking at her, and she subconsciously turned her head to look to her side - that was the inner area of Kyoto High School.
There was no possibility of a direct threat from this position and distance. So, the only source of the threat was probably "line of sight".
That vague gaze that was impossible to tell whether it existed or not.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she squinted her eyes and smiled as she looked in the direction where the gaze came from - even though both parties certainly couldn't see each other.
Then she raised the corner of her mouth slightly, she was extremely sure that the owner of that gaze, the magician leader who first noticed her, had already received the feedback from her gaze.
The two sides, ten kilometers apart, seemed to make eye contact.
Kaori Itadori had a playful look on her face.
——This time, Su Ze attracted my attention because he was "too cautious"; next time, will he be exposed again for the same reason?
...or else.
Does he think that by "deliberately" revealing his flaws, he can lower his guard?
Leading you into a urn?
...It is still unknown who the fisherman is.
Kaori Itadori suddenly chuckled softly, covering her face with her slender fingers, so her expression could not be seen, and a few of her white teeth were revealed.
She seemed to be laughing wildly.
