Shoko Ieiri: "..."
Has Suguru Geto been poking around some kind of baby den lately? Why are there always kids popping up around this guy?
She wanted to laugh, but thinking about what happened today, Shoko Ieiri couldn't bring herself to smile.
The principal, the homeroom teacher, and Suguru were all under control. Should she tell Gojo about this?
No.
She can't contact Gojo.
Let alone the fact that Gojo hasn't been answering their calls lately, they're very likely being monitored by the Jujutsu Headquarters. If she contacts Gojo Satoru now, she'll be controlled too, and then they'll be completely in the dark.
What is the Jujutsu Headquarters trying to do?
They're specifically keeping Yaga-sensei and the others under watch and then "gathering evidence." It looks like they're up to no good.
She furrowed her brows slightly. Suddenly, Shoko Ieiri realized something else. The cursed spirit around Megumi's neck looked familiar. Thinking about it carefully, wasn't this the one Suguru personally registered the cursed energy of yesterday? It seemed to be... a rare cursed spirit that could be used to store items...
"What's going on with this?"
The two children didn't say anything. Shoko Ieiri said again, "Don't worry, I'm Suguru's classmate. I won't tell anyone about his business."
The two children looked at each other, then remembered Suguru's interaction with this older sister before he left. They finally told the truth.
It turned out that after Suguru Geto sensed something was wrong, he not only told them not to mention Gojo Satoru, but also said he would give them a cursed spirit. This cursed spirit would later save him.
Shoko Ieiri poked the ugly cursed spirit. The ugly cursed spirit twisted, opened its mouth, and spit out a cursed spirit weaker than itself.
"——!"
This, this is—
Is this Suguru's backup plan?
Outside the school gates, the Kyoto Jujutsu High car set off.
The assistant supervisor was on the phone while driving, "Yes, Principal Gakuganji, we've already detained the principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High, Masamichi Yaga, and Suguru Geto. The guards in the interrogation room have also been replaced with Kyoto assistant supervisors. Yes, yes, I'll leave two experienced Jujutsu sorcerers behind. Okay, we're on our way."
What they didn't notice was that the cursed spirit's saliva stuck to the bottom of their car. A cursed spirit burrowed underground and followed them, relentlessly.
At that moment, in the interrogation room.
Suguru Geto was isolated in the deepest interrogation room on the first floor of the prison. His hands were tied behind his back to the back of the chair with special ropes, and his cursed energy was temporarily sealed.
There was a camera in the corner of the room. There was also a first-grade Jujutsu sorcerer watching him closely in the interrogation room, and two assistant supervisors were guarding the door, all from Kyoto Jujutsu High.
On the way in, Suguru Geto had observed that all the guards in the prison had been replaced with unfamiliar faces. They must have been changed in a round.
The lounge room across from him was similar, with two assistant supervisors guarding the door. He guessed that the principal and Yaga-sensei might be in the room across from him.
He had to rescue the principal and the teacher first.
Logically speaking, Kyoto Jujutsu High didn't have the right to do this at Tokyo Jujutsu High. But Kyoto's Principal Gakuganji was not only the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High but also a member of the Jujutsu Headquarters, with a lot of authority.
Suguru Geto sighed, "I don't understand. Isn't it good to have Gojo Satoru protect society as a member of Jujutsu High? Why do you seem to want him to become a curse user more?"
The first-grade Jujutsu sorcerer answered upon hearing this, "If he wasn't named Gojo, and didn't have the Six Eyes, the elders of the Jujutsu Headquarters would be more willing to tolerate him."
"..."
Suguru Geto understood.
The Jujutsu Headquarters hates Gojo Satoru, and it seems it's more than just "hate."
If Gojo really died during the mission to protect the Star Plasma Vessel, the Jujutsu Headquarters would probably be very happy.
It's ironic. To suppress the Gojo family's momentum, they're even willing to let the Jujutsu world lose such a powerful Jujutsu sorcerer.
Are the leaders of the Jujutsu world really just a bunch of dark, cowardly losers?
Suguru Geto curled his lips mockingly.
The Jujutsu sorcerer from Kyoto said unhappily, "What are you laughing at? Suguru-kun, your situation is already very dangerous. If you're smart, you'll protect yourself and not keep speaking for Gojo Satoru."
Suguru Geto politely said, "Thanks for the suggestion. I just think... that 'rotten oranges' are even more rotten than I imagined. They're about to rot completely."
The Jujutsu sorcerer reprimanded, "Suguru-kun, watch your words!"
Suguru Geto didn't say anything else. He calculated the time. He thought it was time to start acting soon.
His cursed energy was sealed, but his contract with the cursed spirits was still in place. Although he couldn't directly order the cursed spirits to do anything because of the special structure of the prison, he had given them orders beforehand before entering the prison. When the time came, all the cursed spirits would act at the same time.
Half an hour later.
The time of the demon.
Boom! The entire prison shook three times. The first-grade Jujutsu sorcerer guarding Suguru Geto was startled.
An earthquake?
Boom!!!
The ground shook violently again, a hideous crack appeared in the ceiling, and then the prison's internal alarm blared.
The first-grade Jujutsu sorcerer quickly opened the door and asked the assistant supervisors outside, "What's going on? Why did the alarm suddenly go off?!"
The assistant supervisors guarding the door were equally dumbfounded, "We don't know!"
Just then, another assistant supervisor rushed in and shouted at them, "It's not good! Tokyo Jujutsu High is under attack by cursed spirits!"
The Kyoto Jujutsu sorcerers all looked at each other in disbelief, "What?!"
"Tokyo Jujutsu High is under attack by cursed spirits!!!"
The Kyoto Jujutsu High people: "..."
This kind of rare event, which happens once every few years, why did it have to happen today?
Their faces all turned ugly.
Damn it, most of the Jujutsu sorcerers in Tokyo were called away by the Jujutsu Headquarters today. The remaining forces guarding the prison were also sent away by them. Now, only the Kyoto Jujutsu High people are left here!
Before they could react, half of the ceiling above them disappeared. Everyone looked up and saw a gray, pancake-like face. It was chewing on the prison ceiling like it was chewing on a cookie, with relish.
What was even more terrifying than this cursed spirit.
What was even more terrifying was that behind this cursed spirit, there was a dense swarm of cursed spirits. The cursed spirits that could fly were flying in the sky, and the ones that couldn't fly were all jumping onto the roof, the walls, and the pancake cursed spirit. Hundreds of cursed spirits covered the sky above the prison like a cloud.
"!!!"
What is going on?!
Except for some special circumstances, cursed spirits don't have the habit of living in groups. It's impossible for them to naturally gather together to attack Jujutsu High. Could this be a terrorist attack organized by some curse user?!
The organizer of the terrorist attack, Suguru Geto, pretended to be shocked, "Hey, what are you all standing there doing? The interrogation rooms on the first floor are fine. The underground prison holds the most heinous curse users. If they escape by accident, who will take responsibility?!"
The Kyoto Jujutsu sorcerers, of course, knew the seriousness of the situation.
The prison, of course, is used to hold curse users and traitors. They're all the people who haven't been sentenced to death and those who are about to be sentenced to death. They absolutely can't be set free.
The first-grade Jujutsu sorcerer roared, "Why does it have to be today?!"
Suguru Geto sneered, "That's what I want to ask! Why are you causing trouble on a day like this?!"
The guilty Kyoto Jujutsu High people: "..."
Suguru Geto was acting too confidently. Plus, the situation was really urgent. They didn't have time to think, so they could only immediately organize a counterattack, "Protect the prison with all your might!"
The Kyoto Jujutsu sorcerers fought against the cursed spirits above them. The cursed spirits weren't very high level, at most they were just Special Grade, and most of them were just second and third-grade trash. But there were just too many of them.
"Damn it, how did so many cursed spirits come out at once?!"
"Too many, too many!"
"Someone must have deliberately released them!"
The Kyoto assistant supervisor hurried in and untied the ropes for Suguru Geto.
In the face of a great enemy, one more person means one more strength!
Just then, a voice, old but full of energy, came from the room across from him, "I'm afraid a curse user is trying to break out of prison."
It was the old principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High.
The old principal pushed open the door and looked at the sky with concern, "Last month, we caught a small leader of a curse user organization. He's going to be executed next week. These cursed spirits are probably from the remnants of the curse user organization."
Masamichi Yaga followed the old principal out. He casually glanced over and recognized several familiar cursed spirits.
