They would all be crushed under the Gojo Clan's pressure, unable to breathe. That was the deterrent power of a genius, a monster.
Once Satoru Gojo grew up, he alone would be enough to stand against an entire clan. "The Zenin Clan will avenge me!"
The spider-like Hayato Zenin glared viciously at Satoru Gojo.
"The Zenin Clan would take revenge on me for a curse user?" Satoru Gojo looked at the spider-like Hayato Zenin in surprise. "You're from the Zenin Clan?"
The spider-like Hayato Zenin did not answer. He was destined to die today.
Even if Satoru Gojo spared him, he would die from his shikigami's backlash. But this was far from over.
Although he had fallen to become a curse user,
his faction within the Zenin Clan remained powerful. "Satoru Gojo, however strong you are, you're still just one person." Half his body had already been torn apart.
But the spider-like Hayato Zenin no longer cared at all.
He looked at Satoru Gojo sinisterly and said,
"Satoru Gojo, you're strong, but you can't possibly protect everyone around you."
"We'll start with your family and friends. Just wait and watch the people around you get killed one by one, then spend the rest of your life in regret!"
"Oh, right. Those guys might already have made their move." "If I remember correctly, you have an older cousin named Gojo Chingetsu, don't you?" The smile on the spider-like Hayato Zenin's lips grew increasingly savage.
"Satoru Gojo, I'll be waiting for you in hell. Before then, we'll collect a little interest from your family." The spider-like Hayato Zenin grew more excited as he spoke, completely failing to notice the strange expression on Satoru Gojo's face.
Chingetsu? Gojo Chingetsu?
If you're going after Gojo Chingetsu, I'm afraid all you curse users put together wouldn't be enough for him to kill. Satoru Gojo gave the spider-like Hayato Zenin, now reduced to a head, a sympathetic glance.
In this world, the ignorant really are the happiest.
Chapter 78: A battle between monsters, Chingetsu versus Toji Fushiguro-early morning.
Five hours had passed since Satoru Gojo killed the spider-like Hayato Zenin. Inside the airport.
Chingetsu slowly stepped off the plane, holding Mimiko's and Nanako's hands. Meanwhile,
on a bench inside the airport,
a young man wearing a tight black tank top, with a wild look on his face, was idly toying with a liquor bottle. No one knew how this man had entered the airport or brought alcohol inside.
The man's short black hair was tousled, and he seemed not to have shaved for several days. To other people,
this young man looked like an unkempt street thug or vagrant. But unlike an ordinary thug,
the man merely had a somewhat dispirited air; he was not filthy.
Compared with Satoru Gojo's flippancy, the man exuded more defiance and unruliness. It was as though nothing in this world was worthy of his regard.
This man was the Sorcerer Killer, Toji Zenin!
More accurately, Toji Fushiguro was now the more appropriate name for him. Because of his Heavenly Restriction,
Toji had been born without any cursed energy or cursed technique, so he could not become a jujutsu sorcerer and had been abandoned by the Zenin Clan.
Come to think of it,
Toji's experiences bore a striking resemblance to Chingetsu's. Except,
Toji Fushiguro had treated his Heavenly Restriction as his talent. In exchange for being unable to become a jujutsu sorcerer,
he had made the fullest possible use of what his Heavenly Restriction gave him.
It had granted him a nearly perfect body and perception of cursed energy. It could be said that even the faintest trace of cursed energy
had nowhere to hide before Toji Fushiguro. This was the "talent" his Heavenly Restriction had given him.
It was precisely his formidable close-quarters combat and superb assassination skills, combined with his sensitivity to cursed energy,
that had made Toji Fushiguro a jujutsu sorcerer killer whose very name terrified Jujutsu Society. And now, Toji Fushiguro had set his sights on Chingetsu.
"Gojo Chingetsu, the target of this job..."
"Not a trace of cursed energy flowing through him. Does this boy have a Heavenly Restriction like me?" A hint of amusement flashed through the man's hawk-sharp eyes.
"How interesting. Those guys finally found me something fun." Toji Fushiguro tipped his head back and drained the bottle.
He liked alcohol.
Because alcohol could excite him. At the same time, he hated alcohol.
Because no matter what he drank, he could never get drunk.
"Let's go meet him. I hope you don't disappoint me."
Toji Fushiguro casually tossed away the bottle and pushed off with his foot. In an instant,
Toji Fushiguro vanished from the spot.
A small crater had been stamped into the ground where Toji Fushiguro had pushed off. The bottle was still falling through the air.
Toji Fushiguro shot forward like a streak of black lightning. Without relying on cursed energy or a cursed technique,
Toji Fushiguro had achieved this inhuman speed through physical strength alone. It was truly appalling. "Suguru Geto?"
Chingetsu looked at the handsome boy before him in surprise.
He had not expected to run into Suguru Geto the moment he got off the plane. "Mr. Chingetsu?"
Suguru Geto recognized him too.
He had noticed Chingetsu earlier, but seeing him with two little girls had left him unsure for a moment. He had never heard Satoru Gojo mention that Chingetsu had daughters.
"Who are they?"
Suguru Geto looked at the sisters curiously.
Seeing this, Mimiko and Nanako both hid behind Chingetsu.
The sisters were deeply wary of everyone except Chingetsu. "They're... they'll be my little sisters from now on."
Chingetsu gently stroked the sisters' little heads. Who wouldn't like such well-behaved, sensible little girls? "I see."
Suguru Geto did not ask any further questions.
Seeing how much the sisters depended on Chingetsu, he did not think much more of it. After all, someone whom Satoru Gojo praised so highly
had to have some redeeming qualities in his character, at least. Suguru Geto actually very much wanted to talk with Chingetsu.
After all, back at the hospital, if not for Chingetsu,
he feared he would have fallen into the cursed spirit's trap and met an unexpected defeat.
But he had a mission this time, and his flight was about to depart, so Suguru Geto could only give a rueful smile and say goodbye to Chingetsu. "Hmm, looks like I found the right person. You really are Gojo Chingetsu."
Suguru Geto was just about to say goodbye to Chingetsu.
An arrogant male voice with a hint of world-weariness rang out behind him. "Who's there!"
Suguru Geto's pupils contracted sharply, and cursed energy began surging throughout his body as cursed spirits materialized around him.
Suguru Geto could hardly be blamed for reacting so strongly.
As a jujutsu sorcerer, caution was an essential quality.
Moreover, Suguru Geto constantly stayed alert to changes in his surroundings. He could notice even a fly passing by in time.
But this time,
he had not even noticed someone approaching from behind. Such a situation was undoubtedly fatal.
If the other party had been hostile, he would already have been a corpse. "Tch, no need to be so nervous, genius boy from Jujutsu High."
"Put those boring things away. If I wanted to kill you, you'd already be lying on the ground." "Cursed spirit-Rainbow Dragon!"
Suguru Geto summoned a dragon-shaped cursed spirit, which coiled before him. Of all the cursed spirits Suguru Geto possessed, this one had the toughest body.
Faced with the powerful Toji Fushiguro, Suguru Geto made his stance clear through action. "Oh-ho, so wary. Too bad you're not my target today."
Toji Fushiguro sized Suguru Geto up for a second, then turned his gaze to Chingetsu. "You noticed me long ago, didn't you?"
Although Toji Fushiguro phrased it as a question, his tone left no room for doubt.
Because he had noticed the changes in Chingetsu's gaze.
Chingetsu's eyes had followed his movements the entire time.
That meant his speed had long since been laid bare before Gojo Chingetsu's eyes. This was why Toji Fushiguro had shown himself voluntarily. After all,
a genius like Suguru Geto also carried a considerable bounty within Jujutsu Society. If it was convenient,
Toji Fushiguro would not mind collecting that bounty too. But now,
he had taken a greater interest in Chingetsu. This guy was his kind! "Move!"
Toji Fushiguro took out a pair of brass knuckles and slipped them on, waving his fists provocatively at Suguru Geto. "Otherwise, I can't promise I won't smash that little thing you summoned with a single punch!" Suguru Geto naturally knew what he meant.
Although the other man was strong,
Suguru Geto also had confidence in his cursed spirit, Rainbow Dragon. It was the toughest of all the cursed spirits he possessed.
"Tch, this is why I hate jujutsu sorcerers. You're all so condescending." Toji Fushiguro clicked his tongue, his gaze instantly turning cold.
"Then let me teach you a proper lesson."
