Chapter 415 Backstab
Note: This chapter is two-in-one, so it's a little bit of a knife
After Mimiko finished her words, she didn't seem to intend to get a response. After bowing, the girl turned around and left with a brisk step.
About five minutes later, Yuji had finished his call.
He probably explained the whole story to Gojo Satoru, and then he ran towards me quickly, like a lively little tiger, and said to me: "Sister Youxin, Gojo teacher said that he and Geto teacher are coming over."
"Eh?" I asked with wide eyes, slightly distressed, "Now, here, right now?"
"Ah, not so soon." He thought for a moment, "They said half an hour later."
"It just so happens that Teacher Getsu seems to know both Mimiko and Nanako, and she said she hasn't seen them for a long time, so she wanted to come visit them."
"Wait a minute, by that time, Mimiko and Nanako should have gone home."
"No." Yuji looked towards the end of the corridor behind him and explained, "When I was chatting with Junpei just now, he said that he formed a film club. They are all members of the club. It seems that they will stay to watch a movie together today."
Me: “........” How could I have forgotten this.
Having said that, I really envy the high school life of being able to join clubs.
At that time, I had an ambitious goal to study at a university in Tokyo, but the result was that someone forced me to take tutoring classes every day, and even threatened to throw me into the lotus pond in front of the school gate if I failed the exam.
In the end, I was the only one who came here.
"Oh, by the way." Yuji said, "Gojo-sensei seemed to have mentioned another special-grade sorcerer on the phone, and she seemed to be very interested in you."
"I said I hadn't had time to see you before, so I wanted to take this opportunity to come visit you." He said, "Sister Youxin, do you know her?"
Ah, here we go again.
I looked up at the sky speechlessly, my heart filled with a sense of confirmation: “It’s like this again.”
"Why don't we call Shen'er and Zhangxiang over as well, and have a meeting together."
"Hey, do you want to call?" Yuji was stunned, but he still took out his phone and said obediently, "Sister Youxin, what's Mr. Fushiguro's phone number?"
"0081-3...wait." I came to my senses, held his hand with a hint of amusement, and said helplessly, "It was just a joke. Why did you call them all here? It's a team building."
"Oh, by the way, there's still more than half an hour left, why don't we just go to Shunping's movie room and watch a movie together." I said, "I don't think they will chase us away."
"It will not."
"What movie are they discussing?"
"It seems to be The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Yuji asked, "Sister Youxin, have you seen it?"
"I have some impression of it," I said. "I saw it a long time ago. It seems to be a story about a man who starts out as an old man and gets younger and younger, and finally dies with the face of a baby who forgets the world."
Yuji and I walked along the corridor, chatting, and headed towards the movie room.
However, in the next second, my movements came to a halt.
Even though his brain didn't react, his body was already moving spontaneously. He grabbed the tiger stick from behind and jumped to the wall beside the corridor. He looked down at the dark-green liquid where he had just stopped.
The surging viscous substance seemed to have some kind of corrosive function, constantly spreading to the surroundings and edges, from the initial size of a coin to the size of three basketballs before finally stopping.
What is that?!
I turned around suddenly, grabbed the knotweed and jumped onto the beam again. When I realized the danger was coming, I had already transformed into the form of Ryomen Sukuna, letting go of my whole body's perception to check the situation, and at this moment, I heard the voice of a man behind me.
Rough and hoarse, like an iron stone thrown from the top of a cliff, full of the texture of metal collision.
“Good response speed.”
I turned around and looked at the guy who was commenting on me. My brows furrowed and my face turned cold. "Zenin Naoya, what are you doing?"
His hair was dyed an inky black color and stuck to his forehead without luster. The corners of his mouth were twitching, veins were bulging on his neck, and his skin was an unnatural light gray, like a dead person who had just walked out of a coffin.
The man's hands were more like claws than hands. His sharp nails pinched the necks of the two girls on the left and right. He let out a triumphant roar from his throat and said as if he was sure of winning: "Guess?"
Mimiko and Nanako were caught by him.
Mimiko hung her head, her black hair covering her entire face, motionless, no one knew whether she was dead or alive. Nanako's face was red, her breathing was rapid, she grabbed his hand in pain, her mouth opened and closed as she looked at me, as if she wanted to ask for help.
My heart kept sinking.
Zenin Naoya's current state looked very wrong. His cursed power was in a state of rampage, and he was like a walking gunpowder barrel, and there was no telling when he would explode.
"Yushin Yuji."
He used the super-speed of the projectile spell to dodge my attempts to save Mimiko and Nanako, tightened his grip, blood gushed from their necks, and tilted his head as he said, "I'm really confused."
"What are the advantages of a woman like you that would make him look at you differently?"
"Hey!" I almost didn't care where the hatred in his words came from. I gritted my teeth and looked at the twins who were held hostage, and said to him harshly, "If you have any problems, come to me. Don't use such despicable means."
"What's the point of threatening people with hostages? Is this your skill as a sorcerer?"
Damn it, I'm completely afraid of the consequences. If I move a little, he might go completely berserk and kill me, Mimiko, and Nanako together. I won't be able to fully perform my technique at all.
"Let them go?" He laughed as if he had heard some great joke. "You actually care so much about these two lowly women who are not even sorcerers."
When he mentioned the word "humble", he used extra force, as if he was spitting out each word from his chest, revealing his sharp and cold white teeth. The curve of his mouth corners became wider and wider, and the heavy shadow in his eyes almost jumped out. He said to me: "Hey, Yuji Yushin, let's make a deal."
"If you commit suicide in front of me, I will let them go, how about that?"
"Even if I die, you will just kill them, along with Yuji and even everyone else in this school." I analyzed the situation as calmly as I could, my eyes scanning the surroundings, "Tell me, what are you going to do?"
"Do you think your life is not short enough, so you want to speed up your meaningless life?"
There is no way to break through his range, so I can only attract his attention by chatting.
As I spoke, I was thinking in my mind what was wrong with this guy.
In the first three rounds, he was also completely despicable, but after all, he was a normal person who just looked like he deserved a beating. But the one standing in front of me has completely transformed into a bloodthirsty, crazy, hysterical manic patient, as if he would die together with the whole world in the next second - wait!
An idea suddenly flashed in my mind, and I raised my head, my eyes shot at him like steel knives, and asked, "Zenin Naoya, did you see anyone before?"
“I met someone… I met someone…” He lowered his head and muttered to himself. Then, as if stimulated by something, he raised his head and roared to the sky, “I saw him, I saw him, hahahaha!!!”
He lowered his head, looked at me with resentment, and said, "If it weren't for you, a woman, how could I have gone to see him, and how could it have turned out like this!"
“What kind of—” Before I could finish my sentence, I opened my eyes wide in surprise.
Standing in front of me, Zenin Naoya's black hair suddenly began to change and fell down.
The face of the handsome man slowly sank down to the neck and hardened into a skull mask without eyes, nose and mouth. All the clothes burst open, revealing the gray-white muscles all over the body and the lines covered with black lines.
His two hands retracted inward like the hands and feet of a turtle, and behind him, countless tentacles like octopus legs stretched out, dancing back and forth and twisting.
This is... the cursed spirit form that appears after he is killed by Maki's mother in the manga.
Why did he show up at this time? Did Koso do everything he did to Masamune to Zenin Naoya? !
What on earth does he want to do?!
Mimiko and Nanako were thrown fiercely into the corner by Zenin Naoya, who then dodged and two tentacles like sharp knives cut through the air and headed straight for their heads, at such a fast speed that there was no time to think.
Without thinking, I slashed out and broke all his tentacles. After making sure he lost all ability to move, I breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to Yuji and said, "Yuji, call Gojo Satoru and the others to go to the high school and invite Nozomi to come."
"Okay!" He took out his cell phone and said to me, "Sister Youxin, I'll make a call right away."
Nanako's condition was very bad. She had been holding her chest and coughing since she landed. It felt like a blade was blocking her throat, and she couldn't stop spitting out blood from her mouth.
Mimiko was no less in a bad condition. She was half leaning against the wall half a meter away from Mimiko, her head drooping as if the bones had been removed. Only her chest, which was still rising and falling steadily, proved that she still had vital signs.
I hurried over to them and was about to do some emergency rescue measures when I saw Nanako holding her throat and yelling at me with her eyes wide open: "Run!"
Even this word sounded like it was shouted out with tears and blood.
Run? Run what——
A chill went down my back.
A sharp object rubbed against the bone gaps in the spine and pierced into it, and the pain spread through the nerves to the internal organs like an electric current.
I heard the sound of the meat being stirred, moving up along the direction of the bone growth, as if a train was rolling over tracks in a barren wilderness.
I heard the knife being pulled out and the sound of blood spurting out from the broken wound, like a waterfall cascading down from the top of a valley, finally gathering into a lake.
“Go!” I heard Mimiko’s broken words, which were almost inaudible. She desperately crawled towards me, shouting at the top of her lungs, “That’s not Mimiko at all!”
Not Mimiko.
I turned around slowly and saw a familiar smile with obvious malice on the girl's soft face.
The wind blew through her thick bangs, revealing a bright red scar faintly visible underneath.
At that moment, sudden enlightenment and anger appeared in my mind at the same time.
"Suo, Suo!" Hatred instantly overwhelmed the pain and penetrated deeply into my heart. I shouted at him angrily, "What did you do to her!"
"Isn't this clear to you?" He spoke happily, as if he was talking to an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, "Dissect the body of the dead, take out the brain, and then-"
"It's waste utilization."
Pupils dilated, ears buzzed, and screams filled the world.
The girl who was talking to me just now and thanking me for pulling her out of hell has now turned into a walking corpse, a sharp knife in the hands of the evil man to stab me.
Rational thinking was no longer possible.
Instinctively performing the spell, I snatched the dagger from his hand, infused it with cursed power and pressed it against his heart. With just a slight scratch, this body and his brain would instantly be split into many pieces, shattered to the point where they could no longer be put together.
kill him.
Kill him kill him kill him kill him kill him kill him.
The urging and shouting echoed in my ears.
“Ahahahahaha…” Xiaosuo threw his head back and laughed. Then he stood there motionless and said calmly, “You won’t kill me.”
"This is the body of Mimiko Kagami. If you can use the spirit-calling flag, she can still survive. But if you do it now, my soul will not be annihilated, but she——"
He chuckled softly, "He will die for sure."
My fingers moved.
However, at this moment, he raised the corners of his lips and stabbed the dagger straight into my heart. The dark green sticky liquid splashed on my face. He put his arms around my shoulders as if hugging me, holding me tightly. When he turned his head, he still had a strange smile on his face.
"Youxin! Sister Youxin! Miss Yuji!" I heard someone shouting towards me, coming from all directions, like the roar of cars on a busy street, spreading and pressing towards me endlessly.
Turning my head, I saw many anxious faces from afar.
Gojo Satoru, Xia Youjie, Glass, Ninety-nine Yuki...
On the ground, the black and green contaminated blood finally gathered in one place.
They gathered together stickily, like some kind of life force, constantly climbing upwards, corroding my flesh, draining away my spell power and energy, slowly covering me like an airtight net.
Is this... the "black hole" channel mentioned by Zhang Xiang?
I tried my best to push Mimiko away, and my body felt a heavy sense of weightlessness, as if I was floating high in the universe, or buried deep in the center of the earth where magma was bursting.
Cold, hot, darkness and light overlapped, creating countless phantoms, and flowing colorful lights surrounded them, disappearing in an instant.
A second before I fell into complete coma, I saw the nearest Tiger Stick pounce on me and grab my hand tightly.
"Don't go." Someone seemed to say this.
