章節 88: Chapter 88 : Me?
Kanagawa Prefecture.
Hayashizaki brought Yukinoshita Yukino to the location given by Ijichi Kiyotaka. It was a four-story office building.
The well-dressed businessperson was already waiting downstairs, with a pink-haired boy standing next to him, looking around.
"Oh! You're here!" Itadori Yuji quickly spotted the two coming over and waved to them. "Over here, over here!"
"Hey, Hayashizaki-sensei! And Yukinoshita-san!"
He raised his hand and greeted the two with a smile.
"Hello, Itadori-san."
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, returning the greeting.
"Hey."
Hayashizaki patted Itadori Yuji's shoulder, then took out his teacher ID and waved it in front of him, smiling. "You have to call me -sensei now."
"Oh!"
Itadori Yuji's eyes lit up as he looked at the teacher ID in Hayashizaki's hand. "Hayashizaki-sensei!"
Hayashizaki nodded in satisfaction, hooked his arm around Itadori's shoulder, and smiled. "So, what brings you here today? Are you here to let Sukuna out so I can scratch an itch?"
"Of course not! Even though I do enjoy seeing Sukuna get hit, when I think about it being my own body getting hit, it still feels a bit weird."
The pink-haired boy immediately shook his head.
"Actually, this was Gojo's arrangement..."
Ijichi Kiyotaka pushed his glasses up and spoke, recalling the conversation he had with Gojo Satoru.
"Because of some other matters, I couldn't take Yuji this time."
Gojo Satoru had smiled and said.
"So, the first-grade sorcerer who is available now is Nanami, should we ask him?"
Ijichi Kiyotaka asked.
"No, isn't there a better option?"
Gojo Satoru smiled slightly, speaking with a carefree tone. "Give Yuji to Hayashizaki. He'll definitely be happy to help, and it should be fun."
The memory ended, and seeing Hayashizaki's expression suddenly sour, Ijichi Kiyotaka started regretting sharing these trivial details with everyone.
"Well, that's about the situation."
Itadori Yuji casually put his hands behind his head and grinned widely. "Nice to meet you, Hayashizaki-sensei~"
Obviously, Hayashizaki's last words threatening Ryoumen Sukuna had been overheard by Itadori Yuji, and then he passed them on to Gojo Satoru and the others, which is why Gojo Satoru so easily handed Itadori over to Hayashizaki.
"Though I do feel a bit annoyed, like I'm being played by Gojo's white hair, it's actually perfect timing that Itadori's here, so I'll let it slide."
Hayashizaki said generously, as he wasn't the type to hold grudges.
Seeing that he didn't mind, Ijichi Kiyotaka quietly sighed in relief. "Please, come in and let's talk."
The three of them followed Ijichi Kiyotaka into a small room inside the office building, which resembled a strategic meeting room. Hayashizaki sat down on the sofa.
Through Ijichi Kiyotaka's introduction, they learned that this office building was a place set up for intelligence transmission by Jujutsu High. Basically, every prefecture in Japan had a similar facility, and the "windows" spread across Japan would collect information on cursed spirits and curses, which would then be gathered here and transmitted through a separate network.
As time progressed, sorcerers adapted with the times.
Of course, especially confidential information would still be transmitted using specific curses.
"This is the footage from the cinema surveillance at the site of the incident."
He turned on the projector in the room, displaying a video on the screen.
In the dimly lit cinema, only four high school boys were present. The three seated together ignored the movie content and were chatting casually.
Soon, something strange happened to the three boys. Their heads and bodies suddenly inflated, swelling into grotesque shapes, with blood streaming from their seven orifices.
The scene was clearly one of immediate death.
The remaining boy with a side-swept fringe looked panicked after seeing the horrific scene and ran out of the cinema in a hurry.
The video ended.
"Surveillance cameras can't capture curses, right?"
Itadori Yuji asked, and after receiving a confirmation from Ijichi Kiyotaka, he continued, "So the culprit is a curse?"
"That's probably correct."
The office worker nodded, "Based on the information provided by Mr. Hayashizaki, it's likely a special grade curse."
"Another special grade!?"
Itadori Yuji couldn't help but exclaim. Since Gojo Satoru brought him to the Jujutsu High, every enemy they've encountered, except for the first curse he exorcised with Kugisaki, has been a special grade curse.
"This culprit used similar methods to kill a student from our school."
Looking at the image, Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes showed a trace of reluctance, and she frowned as she coldly said, "I can't believe something like this happened..."
"It really happened..." Itadori Yuji quietly clenched his fist.
"I said we couldn't find it anywhere in Chiba. Turns out it came to Kanagawa."
Hayashizaki raised an eyebrow, then jumped up from the sofa and said eagerly, "Then let's go check the scene now."
The last time he grabbed the head of a special grade curse from Ryomen Sukuna, the system rewarded him with 12,000 points. How many points would this special grade give him?
Really something to look forward to.
"Please wait, Hayashizaki."
Ijichi Kiyotaka called out to stop Hayashizaki from leaving. "There's another piece of information that might be related to a special grade curse who mastered [Mushin Transformation]."
"According to Gojo, he was recently attacked by a special grade curse. The curse had the same level of intelligence as a human, could speak fluently, and even use domain expansion."
"When Gojo defeated it and was about to question it, another special grade curse appeared and took its companion away."
"So, special grade curses are teaming up?"
After hearing this, Hayashizaki waved his hand casually and said, "A mob, nothing to worry about."
"Let's go."
He called for Itadori Yuji and Yukinoshita Yukino, and they left the room.
"Good luck with your work."
Ijichi Kiyotaka watched them leave, then took a handkerchief out of his pocket to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
Although Hayashizaki wasn't like Gojo Satoru, who often gave him trouble, and seemed easygoing on the surface, being in the same room with such a powerful person still made him feel the pressure. Especially since Hayashizaki became even more imposing after successfully receiving a body.
As for the other task Gojo Satoru had given him...
"Hayashizaki's way of receiving a body is completely different from the curses we know that take over a host's body. I'm curious about it."
"Hey, Ijichi, why don't you investigate it? Hayashizaki seems to like you."
He could only think one thing: Me?
