Chapter 12 Itadori Yuujin: 7-kai-sensei... Junpei's follower seems to truly be a saint.
"Gentlemen, let's conclude this capability sharing session for now."
"Things on my end are progressing very well; nine level-two sorcerers have already awakened."
"I estimate that by the time the Shibuya Incident happens and the extinction migration occurs, my strength will have reached the level of the Five Mansions."
"Of course, the premise is that it won't be discovered beforehand by strong individuals of the level of Gojo Satoru, Sukuna, and Tosaku."
Zhou Huilu cleared his throat twice and summarized his thoughts.
He acts very cautiously, relying on the ability to split his soul through "non-action transformation," and always presents himself to the outside world as an alternate body.
His true form is hiding in a corner unknown to anyone. Even his close companions, like Louhu and Huayu, who are like family to him, do not know where he is hiding.
In this situation, if he could still be found and killed by the Five Constellations in advance, it could only be said that fate had intervened.
"Don't let your guard down. The Cursed Return World has all sorts of bizarre and strange settings, and the people in it aren't exactly mentally sound. Maybe Lu Suo has already activated the Death Annihilation Return?"
"That guy is a pure fun-loving person, and the way he achieves fun is not just by reviving Sukuna or merging Tengen with all of humanity."
Digital Road Ping said cautiously.
In the original story, Lu Suo plotted for a thousand years, all for the sake of watching a grand spectacle, hoping to merge all of humanity with Tian Yuan and evolve into the highest-level cursed spirit in history.
The logic of this kind of abstract, entertaining person cannot be measured by common sense.
Furthermore, the many actions Lu Suo took in the original work were essentially just preparations for the "Death Return," and Lu Ping's ability to awaken the magical power of ordinary people saved him a lot of trouble.
As more and more ordinary people awaken as sorcerers, Lu Suo might actually start the Death Return Journey ahead of schedule.
"I know, so I'm preparing for both possibilities."
"Who says only he can activate the Death's Return? Is it possible for me to activate it too?"
Zhou Huilu Ping looked meaningfully at the other Lu Pings. They were all of one mind and understood what he wanted to do in an instant.
"A very... insane plan."
Digital Road is flat.
"but."
The group exchanged glances, a smile playing on their lips, and said in unison.
"I like."
……
Curse Returns to the World, Tokyo, in a detached house.
Yoshino Junpei sat resignedly on a tatami mat, his eyes sunken and bloodshot, looking like he hadn't slept well in a long time.
Seated before him were four people: Yuujin Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki, and Kento Nanami, all specialists in sorcery. Nanami was in charge of leading the team, while Itadori handled the specific investigations and communications.
"So, you've been trying to contact the Holy Spirit all this time, but it seems to have discovered the connection between you and us, and thus severed your ties?"
"Looks like he really is a cunning fellow."
No, that's not it.
Shunping's previously gloomy eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed Huzhang's collar excitedly, retorting angrily.
"It was the Holy Spirit who saved my life and our lives. He was not cunning. It was because I was too weak that I dragged everyone down."
"You bunch of guys, didn't you claim to be sorcerers protecting humanity? But... but where were you when we were going through all that?!"
"Compared to you, the Holy Spirit is the true protector of mankind."
Seeing that the usually docile Shunpei had suddenly become angry, Itadori keenly sensed his emotions and gently comforted him, following his words.
"Things aren't as bad as you think. We're not here to cause trouble for Lord Holy Spirit. We're just investigating, you know?"
"Tell me the truth about what you know. It would be best if this could clear up any misunderstandings. If it's really as good as you say, I promise I will never be an enemy of the Holy Spirit, okay?"
"You know my personality, Shunping, I would never lie."
Looking into Itajō's sincere eyes, Shunpei bit his lip, and then, with a trembling voice, recounted his experiences over the past few days, sentence by sentence.
A month ago, a "second-level apostle" of the Holy Spirit Cult helped Shunping awaken his magic.
Then, on the first day after awakening the spell, he killed all the people who had bullied him, including Ito Shohei.
Yes, they were all killed, not a single one was spared.
Even Lian Shunping himself didn't expect that he could kill so smoothly, without vomiting or feeling any fear.
Yes, only the exhilaration of avenging a great enemy.
Perhaps, his fondness for horror and gore movies stems from a savage beast within him, which he simply suppresses.
After taking that first step, he realized that resistance was such a simple thing.
Even without magical powers, a small knife and a sharp ruler are enough for revenge.
After that, he chose to join the Holy Spirit Cult and, together with that Second-Level Apostle, completed many "missions" and saved many people.
One month, just one month.
Shunping's worldview, outlook on life, and values have all undergone a radical transformation.
He had witnessed the bloody scenes in underground boxing rings, watching those bloated rich people clamoring for a teenager to challenge a tiger, while they stared with bloodshot eyes, completely disregarding the life or death of the lowly commoners.
They also witnessed the appalling extravagance and hedonism on the private island. The gentle and refined politicians on television had all shed their pretenses and exposed their most primal side, indulging in the dark emotions in their hearts.
He had seen gamblers who had lost everything, betting their wives and children in hopes of winning back their fortunes.
I've also seen seemingly innocent girls swindle honest people out of their life savings and then squeeze every last drop of their blood and sweat dry.
Painful things, desperate things, unbearable things, disgusting things.
Too much.
After witnessing these things, Shunping even felt that what he had experienced before was nothing.
But the second-level apostle grasped his shoulder with a serious expression and said righteously.
"Do not compare your suffering to others'. Suffering is suffering, and everyone's pain is the same. This is what the Holy Spirit told me."
"If you think that the pain of the past is nothing, then you have betrayed your past self and are bullying yourself again with those people."
"The most important thing is to remember how you felt back then and to rely on the willpower you forged during that time to keep going."
"These words were also spoken by the Holy Spirit."
The more deeply Shunping participated in the various activities of the Holy Spirit Cult, the more he revered the legendary Holy Spirit, who truly was a being who could bestow miracles upon mortals.
He neither amassed wealth nor indulged in lust, and he rarely even showed his face. He always maintained a casual attitude towards the apostles' withdrawal or joining.
The only thing he did was give them power so they could live their lives well, and once they became strong enough, they could repay him with a little bit of magical power.
Really, that's all.
Gradually, even Shunping, who had never believed in gods, began to believe that the Holy Spirit was the true God.
If such beings are not gods, then what are the gods who ignore the suffering of the world and let them torment in hell?
After listening to Shunping's pilgrimage-like account...
Fukuro Megumi gave a disdainful sneer.
Nanami Kento frowned slightly.
Kugizaki Nobara sighed softly.
Only Itadori turned his head with a serious expression and spoke to Nanami.
"I can tell that Junpei isn't lying, Nanami-sensei."
"They seem to be following a saint, no, a Holy Spirit!"
