Chapter 260: Adult's Responsibility
Tokyo, Kita Ward.
Somewhere in the wasteland.
boom--
The real person's broken body appeared from low altitude, and then fell to the ground neither lightly nor heavily.
Its face was still dull, with purple blood slowly oozing from the corners of its mouth, nose and eyes.
It trembled, put its hands together in front of its eyes, and stared at the palm of its hand that was rubbed bloody.
"Inaction... transformation?" It asked hesitantly, while trying to mobilize cursed energy to perform the ritual.
The next moment, Su Ze's calm face suddenly appeared in his mind.
That mysterious and strange "Qi"——
The "Qi" that resisted his strongest attack——
The "Qi" that severely damaged his soul——
In his mind, Su Ze's eyes were as dark as the night, calm without any ripples, and he seemed to be staring at it intently.
The real person suddenly felt cold all over, and his hands were shaking even more. Just raising them up exhausted all his strength.
The little bit of magic power that had just emerged in the palm of his hand instantly wilted, like a spark that drowned in the sea and went out in an instant.
Just thinking about the scene at that time made it close to collapse.
Not far behind, a gentle voice suddenly came, with a hint of realization in the tone.
"I asked Ze why he let me stay here..."
The real person's whole body suddenly trembled violently, and his messy gray-blue hair shook continuously.
It couldn't believe it and turned its head slowly to look.
The voice continued: "——So, there really is a thief here."
The owner of the voice was sitting on a bluestone nearby, surrounded by summer grass and flowers.
The real person's mouth gradually opened wider, and an emotion called "fear" appeared in his dull eyes.
On the other side, Xia Youjie smiled and dropped the dogtail grass in his hand, and gently stroked the small flowers at his feet.
Then he stood up and brushed the dust off his robes.
The fox eyes narrowed into slits, and the tone was gentle: "Okay, let's get started--"
The real person's face was filled with extreme fear, and he suddenly felt like a snow rabbit on the ice field, and behind him was a "wolf" with gleaming eyes.
That feeling is a sign of being "hunted".
The real person suddenly turned around and tried to run away, but he forgot that both of his legs were broken just now.
However, it only took one step before it lost its balance and fell heavily to the ground. The gravel on the ground crooked its nose, and blood gushed out of its nostrils.
The real person used his hands and feet to crawl forward in panic.
——It doesn’t want to die.
——It is only today that the "transformation through inaction" has fully evolved.
——It has not yet fully appreciated the human’s wailing before death!
"Ahhhhhhhhh——" The real person dragged his completely crippled legs and crawled forward like crazy, not caring at all about his palms that were rubbed with blisters.
Behind it, Xia Youjie looked at it quietly, slowly raised his hand, and his smile grew wider.
"The ultimate? Vortex."
The real person's head suddenly bent backwards, and his hands stretched forward instantly bent into several parts and folded around his body.
The broken body twisted into a deformed shape, and then turned into a black ball the size of an egg.
……
"The losses have been counted, as follows—" Ijichi pushed his black-framed glasses, held the summary sheet in one hand and spoke, "The personnel losses include one quasi-first-level magician, one second-level magician, one third-level magician, two assistant supervisors, one Jikuban, and more than ten injured people... There were no student casualties."
He repeated slowly in a deep, powerful voice.
Sitting around the long table in front of him were several top-class magicians, the principals of two technical colleges, and several people who were present when the incident happened.
Su Ze crossed his hands on the table, propped up his chin and listened quietly.
Next to him, Gojo Satoru was leaning back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest, his face covered by a blindfold, so it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
The other several people had different expressions.
There were originally two Kikuban, and Su Ze asked Yuta Otsutsuki to put on the Kikuban's robes in advance and hide among them.
At the same time, a true Jikuban was transferred away and replaced by a quasi-first-level magician.
Su Ze originally thought that this configuration was enough.
——But that Jikuban and the quasi-first-class magician eventually died at the hands of the real person.
The position of "Kikuban" is important, and the normal operation of the Tianyuan barrier cannot be separated from their assistance, so they cannot be transferred away completely.
Su Ze closed his eyes and exhaled softly.
Beads of sweat quietly seeped out of Yidizhi's forehead, and his face looked a little sad.
Although, in a large-scale invasion, this amount of casualties alone is already very shocking - but those fallen magicians and auxiliary supervisors, they are not just cold numbers on the casualty report, but living people.
However, in response, the cursed spirits and curse masters led by Nozomi paid a greater price.
Yidizhi was quite aware of this and naturally knew how much effort Su Ze had put in for this.
——He also knew how Su Ze would feel sad for his deceased colleagues.
Ijichi suppressed his chaotic emotions and continued, "In addition, five of the Sukuna fingers in the 'Kiku' were stolen by the other party—"
Mingming supported his head and spoke slowly: "...This is their real purpose."
Jiujiu Yuki sat opposite Suze. She scratched her hair hard, frowned and said in distress: "Sukuna's fingers... "Two-faced Sukuna", ah! It sounds like a guy who is a headache-"
Rakuganji Yoshinobu said slowly: "The Chairman has long warned us of the dangers of Sukuna... Now it seems that this is indeed the case."
There were no fingers on Kaori Itadori's body. I guess she had sent them away using special means.
Everyone fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.
——Su Nuo on both sides.
The owner of the title of "The Strongest in History".
Just the name makes people feel uncomfortable.
In the corner, Tenriko, who was in charge of recording the meeting summary, didn't dare to breathe, and even the sound of her writing became quieter.
"Hey, I said-"
A discordant voice suddenly sounded, which was a bit abrupt, but it broke the silent atmosphere anyway.
Everyone looked at the white-haired man who suddenly spoke.
Gojo Satoru raised one arm, and Wuxie said, "Do you still want to have... an exchange match?"
"Gojo! Now is the time to talk about that--" The singer at the end of the table was speechless, put her palm to her mouth and whispered a reminder.
Mingming also nodded slightly, agreeing with the singer's point of view.
Teacher Gojo pouted, seeming dissatisfied.
"Ah……"
Su Ze suddenly couldn't help laughing and chuckled, "Wu did ask a good question. But let's ask the children what they think——"
Everyone in the conference room was a little surprised for a moment.
Although Su Ze is not pedantic, he doesn't usually make a fuss with Gojo like this... ?
“Their events, of course, are for them to decide.”
"As adults, we should just try our best to fulfill the children's wishes."
Suze added with a smile.
Everyone burst into laughter, and even Leyan Temple curled the corners of his mouth in a rare gesture.
The head of the Gojo family showed a triumphant smile, with a look of a villain who has succeeded.
……
There is a cemetery at the back of the college.
The pink-haired boy knelt in front of the stone tablet and kowtowed several times.
He looked serious, but other than that, no extra emotion could be seen.
In front of him, the newly made tombstone was polished to a shine, and the small words engraved on it were vigorous and powerful.
——"Itadori Kaori".
