Underlying Currents / I'll Allow Them to Challenge Me!
He asked anxiously in his heart.
"Asuramaru, is there any way to save them?!"
In response to Yuji Itadori's question.
Asuramaru simply replied calmly, "This is because the form of the soul has been altered, possibly due to some kind of Cursed Technique. It's quite troublesome."
Of course, it's not impossible to save them...
"What kind of method is that?!"
Upon hearing that there was still hope, Yuji Itadori couldn't wait to ask.
But the answer I received was...
"Find the mastermind behind all this, kill them with the Azakana in your possession, and turn it into the Sealing Barrier Mask, isn't that enough?"
Let the mastermind behind this clean up the mess they created. The one who tied the knot must untie it; that might offer a glimmer of hope. You really are an idiot."
After saying that, Asuramaru ignored Yuji Itadori.
Upon hearing the result, Yuji Itadori's anger subsided, and he raised his fists.
"I will definitely save you!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and swung his fists.
Aiming at the limbs of the Transfigured Human, he unleashed a powerful Divergent Fist, his fist imbued with Cursed Energy.
The next moment.
His limbs were broken one after another, and he collapsed helplessly to the ground.
Meanwhile, Kento Nanami watched quietly from the side. Although he didn't know what Yuji Itadori was deliberately hiding, he had no intention of asking.
He simply took out his phone, snapped a picture of the Transfigured Human in his direction, and then, after clearly seeing the Transfigured Human in the photo...
Kento Nanami had completely accepted that this was the reality of humanity, but he did not regret severely injuring the Transfigured Human.
Instead, he spoke calmly.
"It seems that our opponents are very likely, as you said, human!"
However, a definitive answer can only be obtained after Miss Shoko from the Jujutsu High performs an autopsy. Right now, we need to send these two Cursed Spirit back to the Jujutsu High."
"Dissect them? But they are human..."
Yuji Itadori was still thinking of saying something.
But before he could finish speaking...
Kento Nanami, standing beside him, calmly interrupted, "Be rational, Itadori- kun. Only by finding out why they became like this can we save more people!"
Chapter 125 Undercurrents
Yuji Itadori remained silent.
Even if we manage to catch the mastermind, it doesn't guarantee we can save these 'humans'.
At this moment, he once again felt anger and pain, until finally he looked helplessly at the two 'humans', as if he had used up all the strength in his body.
"I understand, Senior Nanami."
Seeing this, Kento Nanami stopped talking, took out his phone, and made a call.
"Ijichi... Could you please take the two Transfigured Human on the movie theater rooftop back to the Jujutsu High and hand them over to Miss Shoko?"
A response came from the other end of the phone.
"I see."
After putting the phone away, Kento Nanami looked at the dejected Yuji Itadori and said in a deep voice, "Today's mission is over. Now... it's time to go home."
The two left together.
As night fell, the two sat in a nearby hotel.
At that moment, Kento Nanami's phone rang.
The person who called was none other than Shoko Ieiri was in charge of the autopsy. Nanami put the call on speakerphone and placed it on the table in front of her.
The sound of Shoko Ieiri from inside.
"These two are undoubtedly human, or rather, they were originally human, but were forcibly transformed into this state by some kind of Jujutsu, with their brains and brainstems being tampered with."
The Cursed Energy within him and the confusion in his mind are probably due to this. As for how to treat it, unfortunately, the Reverse Cursed Technique is ineffective; only the caster can know the answer."
Both of them fell silent.
On the other end of the phone, Shoko Ieiri's voice continued, "By the way, is Itadori listening?"
"I am here."
It was only then that Yuji Itadori came to his senses, and what he heard next was Shoko Ieiri's words of comfort.
"To put it simply, their deaths were caused by shock due to the modifications, and it has nothing to do with you. You didn't kill them." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Before we knew it, it was afternoon.
In a secluded room, Kento Nanami pointed to a map on the wall and said, "The recent disappearances and mysterious deaths have all been compiled into a 'Cursed Residue Report' by the window, which will help pinpoint the criminals' hideouts."
"Should we charge over there now?!"
Yuji Itadori stood up, looking impatient.
However, Kento Nanami immediately stopped him, saying, "That is indeed true to some extent. I will investigate this myself from now on, and I will leave other tasks to Itadori -kun."
As he spoke, he turned on the surveillance playback on one side.
Inside, a melancholy boy with half his face covered by shoulder-length hair appeared. "Junpei Yoshino, the boy who survived in the movie theater at the time."
The victim attended the same high school, but judging from his words and actions, he wasn't Curse User. I'll Ijichi; please investigate Junpei Yoshino."
The plan was set.
Itadori and his companion couldn't wait to leave the room.
But only a moment later.
Ijichi turned back and couldn't help but ask, "Do you already know where that guy is hiding?"
Upon hearing this, Kento Nanami nodded slightly.
"Deliberately leaving behind Cursed Residue was a way of luring us. The choice was between going alone or taking Itadori with us on the adventure. I simply chose the former, after all, he's still just a child..."
Exactly.
Yuji Itadori also returned, but he didn't hear those words. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Nanami- sensei, be careful."
"Itadori -kun, I'm not a faculty member, so please don't call me teacher." Kento Nanami breathed a sigh of relief and replied calmly with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"How about we call her Nanami?"
"I'll beat you up..."
Meanwhile, Asuramaru, inside Yuji Itadori's body, was also making plans.
According to the instructions of the iliac apology, the man wished to be buried, and the heart was filled with remorse. The agreement was made to allow him to continue his work. The instructions were to change the subject of the agreement.
According to the original storyline, there was only one Special-Grade Curse, the Mahito, so it's possible that more than one will arrive this time.

I'm kind of looking forward to it.
As for not worrying about Yuji Itadori being killed, that's just empty talk. After all, they have the trump card of the horn, and their main strength is confidence.
If you manage to escape, I'll admit defeat!
The next day, early morning.
Ijichi then drove with Yuji Itadori, and the two slowly followed Junpei Yoshino, who was walking on the side of the street.
Looking at the target ahead, Ijichi specifically reminded him, "Once we reach a secluded place, let this lowly Grade 4 Fly-Head Cursed Spirit attack him."
If you cannot see it, please perform a purification ritual to exorcise the Cursed Spirit. If you can see it but do not know how to deal with it, please also perform a purification ritual to exorcise the Cursed Spirit, and then inquire about the situation that day.
The bad outcome is that he took matters into his own hands and eliminated the Fly Head, so please arrest him immediately!
"Okay, I understand!"
Yuji Itadori got out of the car, took the Fly-Head Cursed Spirit from the passenger seat, and followed closely behind Junpei Yoshino.
They followed him all the way.
Until they arrived at a street or alley.
Junpei Yoshino then stopped and started talking to a fat, greasy old man in front of his house.
Seeing this, Yuji Itadori also released the Fly Head in his hand, and perhaps following his instincts, the Fly Head flew straight towards Junpei Yoshino's direction.
Just as the Fly Head was about to fly over his head, Itadori hurriedly ran forward.
"Wait a moment!"
Catch the Cursed Spirit at the last second.
Junpei turned his head and his gaze immediately fell on the Cursed Spirit.
"He can see it. Shouldn't we be considering the second option by now?" Yuji Itadori pondered for a moment before stepping forward to ask.
"I have something to ask you, please come with me."
"Where did this brat come from? He's my..." The greasy middle-aged man was about to scold him when he was met with Itadori's decisive hands.
She ripped off his pants and ran away.
"Wait... what are you doing?" The greasy middle-aged man hurriedly chased after him.
Even Asuramaru couldn't help but complain.
They truly applied what they learned.
You're willing to learn just because I've taught you Satoru Gojo?
However, I sensed that a Special Grade aura was hidden nearby.
And there's more than one.
There are three!
It's obvious without even guessing that it was a robbery,...
Interesting...
Meanwhile, the outside world...
Itadori had already run a lap around the block, leaving the others far behind, and returned to the starting point, appearing behind Junpei Yoshino.
"Let's go."
"Isn't it unnecessary to do this on purpose?" Junpei Yoshino asked, somewhat puzzled.
But what he received was a deeply moving answer from Yuji Itadori: "But don't you hate that guy? You wouldn't want someone you hate to keep hanging around your doorstep, would you?"
This was also the first time Junpei Yoshino had experienced being treated kindly by others.
He immediately followed behind him.
The two of them went to the steps by the nearby river and sat down.
Chapter 126 I allow them to challenge me!
Until dusk.
Only then did Itadori dare to ask the question.
"I said, someone died at that movie theater you went to before. Did you see anything, like this thing I'm holding?"
Upon hearing this, Junpei Yoshino calmly replied without changing his expression, "I didn't see anything that day. I've only recently started seeing things like this myself."
