Yu Haibara cast a timid glance at Satoru Gojo but still did not dare speak. Meanwhile.
Chingetsu had already arrived at the airport.
The airport's waiting hall was crowded with people hurrying about.
For comfort and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chingetsu had booked a first-class seat. Now, escorted by a staff member,
Chingetsu was heading toward the lounge the airline had prepared exclusively for first-class passengers. There was still half an hour before takeoff.
Chingetsu chose to have a cup of coffee in the lounge.
The instant he entered the lounge, Chingetsu's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. Through his eyes,
the lounge was shrouded in gloom, deathly still. Clattering sounds rang out incessantly.
Ominous, viscous cursed energy filled the entire space, leaving only the lounge's vague outline visible. Chingetsu glanced back. The sunlight outside was still bright.
Yet within this tiny lounge, malice and evil were so concentrated they nearly spilled out. It was as though anyone who set foot inside
would sink into that darkness forever.
Chingetsu glanced at the staff member and saw nothing unusual in their eyes. In other words,
to ordinary people, the lounge was still the same lounge. Interesting...
An inscrutable smile curled Chingetsu's lips. He walked straight into the lounge, which resembled a haunted realm.
Chapter 65: Targeted?
Chingetsu was not alone in the haunted lounge. There was also a woman. To be precise, an exceptionally beautiful woman.
Chingetsu sat down opposite the woman without a care, picked up a newspaper from the table, and began reading. An interesting young man.
Lust gazed at Chingetsu, her eyes seeming to conceal a thousand unspoken words. A long purple dress with a slit draped her body.
Her neck was long, fair, and exquisite, her slender waist seemingly small enough to encircle with one hand. Her alluring eyes held smiles, charm, and enchantment.
They were veiled in watery mist, rippling with seduction.
The corners of her small mouth tilted slightly upward, her red lips parted like a deadly poison. She was a woman who exuded allure from her very bones.
She was also a dangerous woman. At that moment,
this woman had developed a keen interest in the youth before her. After all,
people who could ignore her, Lust, were truly rare.
Whether they were men or women.
Even the others in the organization looked at her with a faint trace of lechery. Unfortunately, I have a mission this time. Otherwise, I could have some proper fun with you.
Lust stretched languidly, revealing a breathtaking curve. Lust's identity was mysterious. She was one of the earliest members to join the Seven Deadly Sins. No one knew where she came from.
Even the others in the Seven Deadly Sins knew nothing of this outrageously beautiful woman's origins. They did not even know whether she was human.
For almost everyone who dared pry into Lust's secrets had disappeared. Thus, even within the Seven Deadly Sins,
Lust's identity was taboo.
Sukuna's Finger. Now that's a rare cursed object. Lust picked up a glass box.
Through the glass casing, a finger wrapped in white cloth strips could be seen inside. Halfway.
The reason the lounge had become like a haunted realm was precisely that Lust had peeled back the white cloth sealing Sukuna's Finger. The instant Lust took out Sukuna's Finger, the evil presence in the lounge grew even denser.
A sharp gleam flashed through Chingetsu's eyes. This woman gave him a strange feeling.
And when she took out Sukuna's Finger, he became even more certain that her identity was far from ordinary. After all, if an ordinary person held Sukuna's Finger,
the curses it attracted would kill them before they even knew how they had died. "This is a little tricky."
Chingetsu felt a headache coming on. Setting aside which side she was on,
fighting in an airport packed with people would be an enormous hassle in itself.
If his identity were exposed, those people in his family would keep coming to bother him. The annoyance alone could drive him to death. So, even knowing that the woman before him was no ordinary person,
Chingetsu could only remain calm.
He was not some single-minded fool who knew only how to fight and kill. If she did not provoke him, he would pretend not to see her. Time trickled by, and a boarding announcement sounded in the lounge.
Chingetsu stood, checked the time, and walked out of the lounge.
"Hehe, what an interesting young man."
Lust's gaze fell on Chingetsu's back, and an alluring smile curled her lips. Elsewhere, Utahime Iori and Shoko Ieiri had already arrived at a karaoke establishment downtown.
"Damn it, that Satoru Gojo..." Utahime Iori's face had "happy" written all over it.
Even after coming to karaoke, Utahime Iori had no desire whatsoever to sing. That guy clearly knew Gojo Chingetsu!
Utahime Iori gritted her teeth in anger.
If Satoru Gojo had told her even a little about Gojo Chingetsu, she would not have spent every day in such a distracted state. Shoko Ieiri had even teased her about it.
"Kuso! Damn it!"
Utahime Iori picked up the beer on the table, tipped her head back, and gulped down a huge mouthful! Shoko Ieiri stared at her, dumbfounded.
It was the first time she had seen Utahime Iori drink so uninhibitedly. Instinctively, Shoko Ieiri wanted to talk Utahime out of it.
But before Shoko Ieiri could speak, Utahime Iori had already leaned her face close. "Shoko, what does it feel like to like someone?" "Huh?"
I don't have any experience with that either. I've been single since birth for over a decade too. That was what Shoko Ieiri thought, but what came out of her mouth was something else entirely.
"Well, I think if you like someone, you should pursue them. If that doesn't work, drug them. And if even that doesn't work..." Shoko Ieiri's words grew increasingly outrageous, until even the half-drunk Utahime Iori could no longer bear to listen. "Wh-what are you even saying?!"
Utahime Iori's clear, bright eyes were a little hazy, her long lashes trembling slightly. "Shoko, you baka! Idiot!"
Whether from embarrassment or drunkenness, a faint pink blush showed through her fair, flawless skin, and her thin lips were as tender and delicate as rose petals.
At that moment, Shoko Ieiri suddenly felt a little envious of the youth named Gojo Chingetsu.
Chapter 66: The Curses Drawn In
Chingetsu boarded the plane without trouble. During the process,
nothing unexpected happened. There was just one thing that concerned him.
The woman he had met in the lounge had also come to first class. Her seat was right behind his.
The plane took off smoothly.
Chingetsu calculated the time in his head. If nothing unexpected happened,
he would reach his destination at around six o'clock, Fusang time. But...
Watching a dark shape flash past the window, Chingetsu looked a little resigned. A special grade cursed object like Sukuna's Finger held a fatal attraction for cursed spirits. Even ten thousand meters in the air,
curses were being drawn to it.
Chingetsu had already prepared for the worst. That dark shape that had just flashed past,
Chingetsu could be fairly certain, was at least a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit. Some low-level cursed spirits simply could not move freely at an altitude of ten thousand meters. A Grade 1 Cursed Spirit posed no threat to Chingetsu at all.
But they were ten thousand meters in the air.
And near him was a mysterious woman carrying Sukuna's Finger. If he sat back and did nothing, more and more cursed spirits would be drawn in. When that happened, not only would his original plans be delayed,
he might also end up with a whole series of troubles.
"At a time like this, I'd better check the front of the plane first." A shadow fell over Chingetsu's heart.
If the cursed spirits drawn in by Sukuna's Finger were not too unintelligent, the plane's cockpit
would be their primary target. At that thought,
Chingetsu calmly stood and left first class.
First class was not far from the cockpit. Just then, a strange noise came from above the cabin ceiling.
"As expected, the rats have caught the scent of meat and can't hold back anymore." A cold glint flashed through Chingetsu's eyes.
Using the Stand ability of Bites the Dust, he bypassed the flight attendant and arrived at the cockpit door. Whoosh!
Chingetsu gently placed his hand against the cockpit door. The erasure effect of Bites the Dust activated again.
An opening large enough for one person to pass through was instantly cut into the incredibly hard alloy door. "What's going on?"
Sensing something wrong, the captain turned to look behind him. "Who are you?"
The captain was calm and did not panic at Chingetsu's sudden appearance. "If I were you, I wouldn't press that button."
Chingetsu had noticed the captain's subtle movement.
"If I'm not mistaken, your hand should already be having trouble obeying you." Confusion flashed through the captain's eyes, but he instinctively tried moving his hand.
Yet his hand seemed to be stuck to the control panel.
