Shadow Yuuko, Forced to Shoulder Debt

It seems the only way is to start with the other body of that Vengeful Spirit.

Satoru Gojo pondered this, then looked at the backpacks scattered on the ground in the alley. These must have been left behind by Miyauchi Hiyage before the teleportation.

He quickly tidied up for the other person, then carried the backpack back to the car.

"That Vengeful Spirit probably sensed my presence, so it hastily fled." Satoru Gojo made no attempt to conceal his strength.

After all, he had teleported here, so naturally he couldn't control the leakage of his internal Cursed Energy.

Perhaps some newly born Vengeful Spirit spirits and cursed spirits were wiped out by the aftershocks of his Cursed Energy along the way.

Kanoe Yuko, a super-level Vengeful Spirit, clearly possesses intelligence comparable to that of humans, so it's normal for her to choose to flee when she senses danger.

He tossed the backpack back to Miyauchi Hiyage: "Your backpack, check if everything inside is still there."

Miyauchi Hiyage nodded, then casually rummaged through his backpack. "It's basically all here, nothing's missing."

Satoru Gojo originally wanted to talk a little more about the other person's abilities, since the other person would most likely become his student in the future.

But as he spent some time going back and forth, Itou Kaiji had already run out of the school.

Upon seeing Miyauchi Hiyage collapsed on the ground and Fujimiya Miki unconscious, he quickly took out his car keys and opened the car door. "Boss, should we take Miss Fujimiya to the hospital?"

Miyauchi Hiyage Satoru Gojo.

Satoru Gojo waved his hand. "Although I don't think it's necessary, if you're worried, it's fine to send it over for a check-up, but it's not suitable for you to go."

Miyauchi Hiyage's body is currently undergoing a transformation after awakening, and ordinary hospitals certainly cannot detect any problems.

Miyauchi Hiyage then turned around, stood up, and slowly carried Fujimiya Miki to the back seat of the car. He then continued to ask Itou Kaiji, "Then we won't send her to the hospital for now. But how are things on your end? Is everyone safe?"

Itou Kaiji immediately began to gesticulate wildly as he recounted what he had experienced in the past hour.

Trapped in a room from which there is no escape, she is pulled into an illusion by the evil Kanoe Yuko to feel the other's hatred, and she cannot break free no matter how hard she tries.

Then, because of the kind-hearted Kanoe Yuko, they were rescued, and in the end, the evil Kanoe Yuko fled in panic.

He wanted to show off the videos he filmed in the basement, but Miyauchi Hiyage waved his hand, saying that he didn't have the energy to watch them right now and that they should wait until tomorrow.

"So Chairman Geng's situation is more dangerous now?" Miyauchi Hiyage frowned, then glanced at Itou Kaiji. "Never mind, your driving skills aren't good, it wouldn't be good if something went wrong if you helped him."

"But let's go to the school first and see if there's anything else we can help with," Miyauchi Hiyage said, wiping her forehead. She seemed to have recovered somewhat from her rest.

Only then did Miyauchi Hiyage turn to Satoru Gojo again and invite him to get in the car, while also taking the opportunity to inquire about his identity.

"The teacher of the Jujutsu High... Anyway, Mr. Satoru Gojo, it's really kind of you to come at this time."

After Satoru Gojo introduced himself, Miyauchi Hiyage expressed his gratitude.

Satoru Gojo waved his hand dismissively. "After all, you are a talent that our principal values, and you may become my student in the future, so there's no need to worry about this kind of thing."

He said this, then unceremoniously sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt. "Let's go back to school together. I also have some questions I want to ask that Yuuko."

Now that the matter has been resolved and there is no longer any crisis, he naturally no longer intends to use the power of teleportation.

Itou Kaiji naturally knew that this Satoru Gojo must be an extraordinary figure, so after Miyauchi Hiyage was settled, he drove the car up the slope in front of the Seiwa Academy.

Kanoe Kirie has not yet regained consciousness. Although her condition is not as serious as Kanoe Shizuuko's, it is definitely worse than that of Fujimiya Miki.

Hiiragi Inori is still at school examining Kanoe Shizuuko's body.

As for Yuko.

Looking at the two people lying on the ground.

One of them killed his own sister sixty years ago.

One is a descendant of the Kanoe Family who looks exactly like him.

Looking at the two people, she couldn't calm down at all. She just wanted to get far away from them and never see them again.

But she can't leave yet.

Because of the disordered Ley Line, although she still maintains her connection with the Ley Line, the Ley Line can no longer restrict her movement.

It can be said that as long as she has enough power, she can continue to exist in this world.

But precisely because of this, even without restrictions, she cannot leave this place for now.

Because this is Kanoe Yuko's headquarters.

With the Ley Line in disarray, the only way for her to gain the power to continue existing was through the rumors about herself circulating at the school.

Before Shadow Yuuko's fate is determined, she naturally cannot leave, lest the other party draw power from this place after she leaves.

Only after completely settling everything with Shadow Yuuko can she leave this place with peace of mind.

"However, if we had that diary... perhaps it could speed things up."

When she thought of that diary, Kanoe Yuko also saw Itou Kaiji and the others drive into the school, and after getting out of the car, Miyauchi Hiyage was carrying the backpack containing her Diary.

But as she tried to sense the whereabouts of the Diary.

Then she was shocked to discover that until a few minutes ago, she could still vaguely sense the Diary and even summon it with just a thought. Now, although she could still sense the connection between herself and the Diary, she had lost the ability to summon Diary.

Am I just imagining things?

Kanoe Yuko drifted towards the direction of the Miyauchi Hiyage.

Seeing the female ghost staring intently at the backpack in Miyauchi Hiyage's hand, Satoru Gojo seemed to sense something and therefore did not intervene.

Miyauchi Hiyage naturally knew Kanoe Yuko's purpose, but he deliberately left his backpack in the alley and had already prepared his explanation.

He handed his schoolbag to Kanoe Yuko with an apologetic expression and reiterated the truth he had fabricated.

Attacked by Shadow Yuuko, she hurriedly used her awakened ability to escape, but ended up leaving her backpack behind.

Hearing this, Kanoe Yuko felt even more uneasy.

So, did that other self realize that she had put the Diary in Miyauchi Hiyage's backpack, and from the beginning, her goal when she ran away was to steal the Diary from Miyauchi Hiyage?

Noticing the strange expression on Kanoe Yuko's face, Satoru Gojo walked over and asked, "What did you put in his backpack earlier?"

However, because she is still nominally the owner of the Diary, she continues to enjoy the Diary's indiscriminate shielding function and is unable to explain herself to anyone.

She anxiously explained for a long time, while Satoru Gojo, standing to the side, only roughly understood that Kanoe Yuko had a powerful magical artifact that could resist Shadow Yuuko's consciousness invasion and could probably provide her with powerful strength at critical moments. However, as a price, she could not describe the artifact in any form.

"It sounds like some kind of Special Grade Cursed Tool with built-in bindings," Satoru Gojo judged. Although he wouldn't be worried about a Special Grade Cursed Tool, he couldn't stay in Saitama Prefecture to track down Shadow Yuuko. At most, he would report the matter to the higher-ups in the cursed arts and Shinto, who would then discuss how to find the Vengeful Spirit.

However, such searches generally yield no results.

If those guys were really that easy to find, the number of top-tier Vengeful Spirit and cursed spirits who died at his hands would at least double by now.

In the end, they'll probably just send a top-tier Spirit Medium to help repair the Ley Line, and then send a first-class priest to rebuild a shrine nearby to defend against Shadow Yuuko, who could return for revenge at any time.

The good news is that Kanoe Yuko might have a chance to be promoted.

After all, she had a very deep connection with the Ley Line in this place. After the shrine was established, although she could not become the shrine's guardian deity, she was still qualified to receive a statue and a shrine as a divine messenger.

However, he didn't need to worry about such things, since there was the real shrine maiden, Hiiragi Inori, here.

After Satoru Gojo explained the possible future arrangements, relieving Kanoe Yuko of her worries about her other self, Kanoe Yuko looked somewhat lost.

So, after living in a daze for sixty years, and still not freeing herself from the past, can she still become a so-called deity?

Even after the hospital ambulance took the unconscious Kanoe Shizuuko and Kanoe Kirie away, she still hadn't recovered from Satoru Gojo's explanation.

She simply stood at the school gate watching the ambulance leave, ignoring Hiiragi Inori's words of gratitude.

Seeing that Kanoe Yuko didn't react, Hiiragi Inori knew that the other was still confused, so she let her stay there to continue thinking.

With a pained expression, she took her phone to tell her mother about her situation and asked her superiors to send someone over immediately to help repair the Ley Line.

After all, she wasn't a top-tier fighter like Satoru Gojo, who didn't need him to consider anything other than taking action.

After casually setting up a sealing barrier to prevent the influence of the Ley Line from spreading further, Satoru Gojo went to find a place to have a late-night snack.

She'll probably be staying here tonight to work out the Spiritual Power of the Ley Line, and afterwards she'll definitely have to write a whole bunch of reports explaining the situation here.

Fortunately, besides Kanoe Yuko who was in a daze, Miyauchi Hiyage and his group were there to keep her company.

Because of everything that had happened to them that night, even though Itou Kaiji hadn't been hurt, he was visibly exhausted after the adrenaline wore off.

Naturally, it wouldn't be possible to drive back to Asahigaoka in just over an hour.

They plan to spend the night in the school infirmary and leave tomorrow after they've recovered.

After declining the offer of help from Miyauchi Hiyage and the others, Hiiragi Inori waved her hand at them, saying, "You should go and rest. There's still a lot of cleanup to do tomorrow."

Itou Kaiji initially patted his chest and said that he was fine.

But after entering the infirmary, he was still bragging to Miyauchi Hiyage, but as soon as he settled down on the bed and the needle was still in his head, he started snoring softly.

Seeing Itou Kaiji sleeping so soundly, Miyauchi Hiyage shook her head, then took out her Diary in the darkness.

Then, he pulled out the gray Diary with Kanoe Yuko's name on it from his own Diary.

Now it's time to see how Shadow Yuuko feels about being sealed inside her own Diary.

Chapter 191: Shadow Yuuko who is forced to take on debt

In the darkness, looking at the Diary in her hand, Miyauchi Hiyage felt that Shadow Yuuko was incredibly unlucky to have encountered such a thing.

Let's move forward a little bit.

Before Satoru Gojo Miyauchi Hiyage arrived, and after Kanoe Yuko, Shadow Yuuko was suppressed by Kanoe Yuko, whose strength had surged dramatically.

Through her connection with Kanoe Yuko, Shadow Yuuko believed she had figured out the truth behind her own sudden increase in strength and was already searching for Miyauchi Hiyage's whereabouts.

Although she didn't possess the sudden surge of power that her original body had, she did need to be much more proficient in using her own power in order to absorb the backlash against her original body as soon as possible.

So at that time, she was waiting for an opportunity to escape while subtly investigating the whereabouts of the Miyauchi Hiyage, using the Spiritual Power within the Ley Line that she had corrupted.

Although it was somewhat unexpected that Miyauchi Hiyage was able to bypass her control over the school and escape outside, she quickly located Miyauchi Hiyage a few hundred meters away from the school by using the Ley Line to sense the abnormal fluctuations.

Then, just as Hiiragi Inori and Kanoe Yuko were about to join forces to seal her away, she used Kanoe Shizuuko's name to attract Kanoe Yuko's attention.

She was certainly filled with hatred for Kanoe Shizuuko, but what she wanted was not simply to kill her, but to torture her with all the cruel tortures in the world, and finally kill her only after she could no longer extract any negative emotions from her.

Therefore, after discovering Kanoe Shizuuko's appearance, she controlled her after the latter entered the Old Schoolhouse and made her feel her pain in the illusion.

Then, disguised as Kanoe Shizuuko, she went to the basement to take over Kanoe Kirie's body.

Who would have thought that the original plan would be forced to be revised twice because of a small Diary?

Having decided to seize ownership of the Diary first and then seek revenge after Kanoe Yuko's power was exhausted, she chose to detonate the power of the Ley Line, catching them off guard, and then escaped.

After realizing that Kanoe Yuko had indeed stopped chasing after them immediately because she was worried about the safety of the ordinary people, Shadow Yuuko even felt a rare sense of pleasure.

This pleasant feeling lasted until the moment she appeared before Miyauchi Hiyage.

The only thing that displeased her was that Miyauchi Hiyage still maintained that indifferent attitude at this time.

It even seemed calmer than before.

The other person's appearance really displeased Shadow Yuuko.

After all, she could sense a hint of negative emotion from Hiiragi Inori, with Miyauchi Hiyage being the only exception.

She really wanted to let this guy enter her illusion and see if he could still be as calm as he was now.

However, now that she has destroyed the Ley Line, she can no longer use illusions on others.

Unless she can become a top-tier Vengeful Spirit now.

Therefore, she had no other thoughts at the moment, only wanting to get rid of Miyauchi Hiyage and take the Diary from Miyauchi Hiyage.

With this Diary, as long as it can provide her with even a little help, her strength will be much greater than that of Kanoe Yuko's original form, and she will definitely be able to become a genuine Special Grade in a much shorter time.

However, her luck was really bad today.

Especially when she attacked Miyauchi Hiyage, and he took out the Diary on his own initiative.

"If you want it, why don't you just ask me? Why do you have to do it yourself?"

As Miyauchi Hiyage uttered these words that she could not understand, and then threw the Diary directly at her.

A reminder seemed to appear in Shadow Yuuko's mind as well.

"We sensed the Diary holder's resistance to their debts and initiated enforcement proceedings."
