Chapter 191: 191
Night.
Chu Yang took a taxi to Sugisawa Third High School in Miyagi Prefecture, 300 kilometers from Tokyo.
The taxi fare was included in his allowance and would be reimbursed by Satoru Gojo.
Accompanying him was a new student from Jujutsu High.
After getting out of the car, Chu Yang glanced at the expressionless student beside him, then at the familiar middle school in front of him.
Had the plot officially begun?
"Didn't Gojo Senior tell you where the item was?"
"The Stevenson screen near the school."
"Is he an idiot? How could he put it in such a place?"
"I thought so too."
While complaining, the two found the Stevenson screen where Sukuna's finger was stored, and a strong cursed aura still lingered on it.
Chu Yang knew there was nothing inside.
Megumi Fushiguro opened the Stevenson screen, and it was pitch black inside, making it impossible to see anything. He reached in to feel around, but after a long time, he found nothing.
Megumi Fushiguro's expression changed. He directly stuck his head inside, wiggling around like a maggot for a long time, then pulled back out and looked at Chu Yang with a mournful face, "Teacher, the item is gone!"
Chu Yang calmly took out his phone, called Satoru Gojo, and without mentioning that Sukuna's finger was missing, he immediately launched into a scolding.
After the scolding, as if all his pressure had been released, Chu Yang comfortably stretched.
Megumi Fushiguro was dumbfounded.
Although he wasn't particularly polite to Satoru Gojo either, he never reached Chu Yang's level.
"Hahaha, don't mind it. This is just how we interact. He always speaks to me sarcastically, so I finally found an opportunity to vent."
Megumi Fushiguro swallowed dryly.
"Let's go, don't just stand here. The cursed object was most likely picked up by a student from the school. Let's go check the school."
Chu Yang put away his phone and walked towards the school.
"If a student picked it up, they most likely took the cursed object home. There's no point in us going to the school."
"That thing looks scary. Who in their right mind would take it home? It should be left in a classroom, like in some supernatural research club or something…"
Megumi Fushiguro's face was covered in black lines. He felt that this teacher in front of him exuded an unreliable aura just like Satoru Gojo.
Half an hour later.
The two stood in front of a classroom.
[Supernatural Phenomena Research Club]
A strong cursed aura emanated from the classroom.
"No way?"
"Even with the seal intact, it can't cover up this cursed smell. It's really about to fail." Chu Yang led Megumi Fushiguro in rummaging through the classroom and found Sukuna's finger. The wooden box that contained the finger had disappeared, leaving only the finger wrapped in a burial shroud.
By tomorrow night, Itadori Yuji's two senior classmates, who were courting death, would unseal the finger, attracting countless curses.
If Chu Yang took this finger in advance, it was unknown what Itadori Yuji's future would be like.
"Such a dangerous item is openly displayed in the classroom. If we had arrived any later, this school would probably have been in big trouble."
Megumi Fushiguro was still shaken. Watching Chu Yang quietly put away the finger, he hesitated. Satori had instructed him to personally bring Sukuna's finger back.
The person in front of him was also a teacher from Jujutsu High, and the person Satori had entrusted.
He should be reliable, right?
Megumi Fushiguro thought to himself, letting out a heavy sigh.
"Megumi, I have other things to do, so I won't go back to Jujutsu High with you. You can take a taxi back yourself, and remember to have Gojo Senior reimburse the cost."
Chu Yang, having obtained the finger, smiled and bid farewell to Megumi Fushiguro.
Megumi Fushiguro watched him leave, feeling that something was off, so he took out his phone and called Satoru Gojo.
"That strange teacher left with Sukuna's finger. Is that okay?"
"Don't worry."
"It's not that I'm suspicious, I just always feel that teacher is strange."
"What I mean is, I'm already here, so no matter what happens, there's no need to worry."
"Ah?"
Before the call ended, Megumi Fushiguro felt a massive amount of cursed energy approaching.
"Could he be rushing over because he got scolded?"
Megumi Fushiguro's expression was peculiar.
A bright light streaked across the dark night sky.
Just as Chu Yang tore off the burial shroud from Sukuna's finger, he saw Satoru Gojo descending from the sky.
"Hahaha, you're so efficient. When I heard the item was missing, I thought something might have happened."
Satoru Gojo scratched his head and chuckled, his gaze fixed on the bare finger.
He paused.
Chu Yang chuckled dryly.
"The seal is actually damaged so severely?"
"The guys in the logistics department clearly told me it was perfectly preserved."
"One would think you destroyed the seal…"
After a few playful remarks, Satoru Gojo noticed the atmosphere suddenly becoming awkward.
He clicked his tongue and looked at Chu Yang.
"No way, little Yang Yang?"
As soon as the words fell, Chu Yang swiftly put Sukuna's finger into his mouth and let out a satisfied burp.
Satori: "…"
Megumi Fushiguro, who arrived late, happened to witness this scene and immediately widened his eyes, shouting, "Teacher, you can't eat that! You'll die!"
Terrifying cursed energy continuously expanded with Megumi Fushiguro's warning, forming a storm centered on Chu Yang that raged outwards.
"Why would you do that?"
Satoru Gojo looked at Chu Yang with a complex expression. He truly couldn't understand the other's actions.
Unfortunately, Chu Yang couldn't answer him.
Chu Yang's consciousness fell into silence after eating Sukuna's finger.
In a space filled with mist.
Sukuna, whose consciousness had just awakened, was extremely excited because he felt the host's talent.
If he could seize this body, he could become even stronger than he was a thousand years ago.
Sukuna excitedly laughed up to the sky, his rampant laughter echoing in the dark space.
However.
As time passed, Sukuna gradually felt that something was wrong.
He couldn't freely change this space according to his will. Logically, he was the master here.
This mysterious space, it seemed, was not the host's consciousness…
The surrounding mist suddenly dispersed.
A majestic palace stood Majestic in front of Sukuna.
He stared blankly.
The grandeur of the palace exceeded his comprehension.
Unconsciously, Sukuna slowly stepped onto the stairs in front of the palace.
A person stood at the palace gate.
Sukuna recognized the other party; it was the owner of this body.
"Is this the world you created?"
Sukuna was somewhat amazed by the other's imagination.
"No, but to be honest, I'm surprised you can appear here."
Chu Yang, holding two swords, stood at the top of the stairs, looking down.
"You have many secrets. If I kill you, everything will belong to me."
Sukuna formed a hand seal on his chest, and cursed energy instantly erupted. A huge shrine appeared behind him, confronting the palace behind Chu Yang from a distance.
"Domain Expansion, Malevolent Shrine."
Sukuna's domain continuously expanded, as if it wanted to swallow everything around it.
However, when the domain spread to Chu Yang's feet, it suddenly stopped, unable to advance even an inch further.
Sukuna's expression changed drastically.
"This is our world. Your domain has no effect here."
Voices came from all directions.
Sukuna looked around and saw many beings with completely different clothing but who looked remarkably similar to Chu Yang.
"The scent of these souls is exactly the same; they… are the same person!"
As the Cursed King, Sukuna was extremely sensitive to souls, and he immediately discovered Chu Yang's secret.
