Chapter 17: The unity of spirit and flesh

is so boring.

Kagura Mio stood in front of the chattering Rakuganji Yoshinobu and felt that her spirit was leaving.

"······is very important. If it weren't for Mr. Ikeda, our funds this year might be reduced a lot. So you must, must take it seriously, and don't neglect them."

"Master Ikeda's condition is really serious······You have already adapted to Ieiri's technique, right? Make a slight change to her technique, and make it more inclined towards psychotherapy to help Master Ikeda out of his predicament." "

The most important thing for the Ikeda family now is to deal with Master Ikeda's illness. You only need to do what we ask, and don't make unnecessary things. Do you understand?"

"······"

"Do you understand, Kagura?"

"Kagura?!"

"Huh? Yeah." Kagura Mio came back to her senses and looked at the old man in front of her.

Rakuganji Yoshinobu is the current principal of the Kyoto Jujutsu High School and the best channel for teachers and students of the high school to contact the top leaders of the Jujutsu world.

As Rakuganji Yoshinobu is in charge of new resources in the world of sorcery, he must be a big shot to be able to treat someone so seriously.

Sure enough, after a thorough body search, they walked to a remote and heavily guarded room in the Kyoto school. Kagura Mio confirmed the identity of this young master Ikeda through the servants and bodyguards coming and going -

Ikeda Jinsaburo, the only son of Ikeda Nagaichi, the current head of the Ariba-gumi, a heiress//social organization that has been active in the Kansai region for nearly a hundred years.

The conifer group has been active since the last century and has a history of nearly a hundred years. However, as time went by, the former hei// society// gradually became a prominent family in the Kansai region.

The reason why he is the only son is because Ikeda Jinsaburo's two older brothers died in revenge for handling the affairs of their father Ikeda Nagaichi.

Ikeda Nagaichi has no other children besides his three sons, and Renzaburo can be said to be his only child so far.

No wonder he had to go to the Jujutsu High School.

Kagura Mio raised the corner of her mouth, finding it a little funny.

The Jujutsu High School, which ostensibly relies on the Japanese government, is able to work for the Matsuba Group with the government's permission. The government, hei//society, and the magic world are in collusion with each other, connected with each other, and secretly communicating with each other. It is simply rotten.

But the disease that Ikeda Jinzaburo suffered from was not some inexplicable madness, but -

she looked at Ikeda Jinzaburo in front of her, who was singing and crying, stuffing food into his stomach frantically and saying that he was very hungry, and she actually wanted to laugh.

Sensing the unfriendly looks of the Matsuba Group members around her and the vague warning look of Rakuganji Yoshinobu, Kagura Mio restrained herself in silence, and then said calmly: "Is Master Ikeda showing abnormal symptoms because he is possessed by a cursed spirit?" The

members of the Matsuba Group looked at each other, and the burly man with the highest rank here said: "Yes. The master was frightened when he was collecting a debt, and a gentleman in the organization said that it was because of a cursed spirit. But after finding a professional sorcerer to clean it up, Master Ikeda is still the same as before."

This is natural, because the cursed spirit is not an ordinary cursed spirit at all, but an extremely resentful cursed spirit filled with fear, pain, despair, and resentment towards Ikeda Jinsaburo.

The resentment was so strong that it could not be eliminated even if it was exorcised - the resentment from a broken family.

The suffering and tears that the wife and children of their father, who were mortgaged because of the high-interest loan they owed that their father could not repay, endured were simply horrific. It is no wonder that Ikeda Jinsaburo was haunted by such a curse.

To be honest, Kagura Mio thought it would be better to just let the cursed spirit kill Ikeda Jinsaburo.

But it doesn't work.

Nothing is easy in this world. If you live in the world of magic, you must abide by its rules. She can only survive by following the rules, suppress her own thoughts, and do as they say.

This is what Kagura Mio has always thought.

So she just smiled calmly, looking at the people in front of her gently and obediently: "I know. I will do it. Please rest assured."

Then she closed the door and activated her own technique.

"Ninety-nine Odes: Resonance."

The technique called resonance can resonate with all beings that possess cursed power. Even ordinary people have a certain amount of cursed power, let alone Ikeda Jinsaburo who was once haunted by a vengeful curse spirit.

Feeling the surge of her own cursed power, suppressing her own pain, and restraining her own fear, Kagura Mio couldn't help but think of the white-haired boy.

Wu...What is he doing now?

In fact, Gojo Satoru is not having a very good time now - when the sharp blade pierced his chest and pierced his skin fiercely, the moment the blood seeped out, Gojo Satoru felt unprecedented panic.

This is the first time...

Holding his breath slightly and preparing for battle, Gojo Satoru smiled and asked Geto Suguru to take Tennuriko away first.

"Then let me see you--"

The white-haired boy blinked his beautiful blue eyes, his long eyelashes swept across, and his tone was strong but arrogant: "Is it worth challenging me?"

Fushiguro Jiner's keen perception made him aware of the boy in front of him with a somewhat strong attitude, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The reason why the High School sent Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru to protect the Star Plasma Body is because many people covet the Star Plasma Body. And Fushiguro Shigeu is the killer sent by the other party, whose goal is to kill the Astral Plasma.

However, to kill the astral plasma, we have to deal with those two little devils...

Fuguro Shigeer lifted the black hair in front of him and exhaled lazily. A little helplessness flashed in his unruly and dissolute eyes.

As far as he knew, there was still one little devil who hadn't come yet.

But it’s better that he didn’t come, so he doesn’t have to spend too much effort to deal with it.

The black-haired man had an ugly cursed spirit entangled on his body. He raised his knife with one hand and lazily dodged Gojo Satoru's attack. Looking at the boy in front of him who was sweating because of the pain, he casually avoided the boy's attack by constantly changing his speed.

The gravitational force was strong enough to suck in everything, and the small cursed force ball formed exploded at this moment. The smell of gunpowder was everywhere, and the wood chips and gravel that were rolled up were flying everywhere and rushed towards Fushiguro Shige's face.

A hint of interest flashed in his cold eyes. Looking at the young man in front of him gradually becoming exhausted due to long-term consumption, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

It was indeed rare for Gojo Satoru to panic.

In order to let Riko have a good time, he took the initiative to suggest staying for one more day.

The technique of No Limits was extremely brain-burning. In order to protect Tennuriko, he practiced it almost day and night. He was already close to the threshold, but was stabbed hard by Fushiguro Shige's surprise attack.

His rapidly working brain made him even more tired. Sweat dripped down his forehead. Gojo Satoru nonchalantly wiped away the sweat as he kept thinking about what to do next.

The other person was a person without any cursed power at all, and Gojo Satoru could not sense his existence at all. But the killer was haunted by a cursed spirit, and his location could be sensed by the spirit's direction -

no, that's not right!

The flying tiny cursed fly heads with extremely low cursed power lingered around Gojo Satoru like thousands of locusts passing by. This tiny cursed power made it impossible for him to sense the specific location of Fushiguro Shinobu.

Wait, wait, something's wrong -

Gojo Satoru's eyes widened, his keen intuition made him sense that a figure had appeared behind him at some point -

the black-haired man known as the "magician killer" was a calculating and ruthless wolf, he had already prepared all the plans for the six-eyed son of God in front of him -

"The technical high school transferred that girl away because they were afraid that she would die in an accident, right? After all, her technique is very useful."

The kind of technique that can enhance others.

"Oh, what a pity, I don't have the chance to kill him with my own hands."

"But--"

"Killing you would be nice too."

A smile appeared on Fushiguro Jyouji's scarred mouth. The special-grade cursed tool Amasaki Hoko prepared for Wuxiajin could destroy all spells, including Wuxiajin's -

the sharp blade pierced the young man's throat, and blood spurted out instantly.

The moment the pain is transmitted, the brain also feels particularly painful.

Kagura Mio thought, she was in so much pain.

To resonate with the cursed spirit means that she has to feel the cursed spirit's emotions. The mental pressure brought by the cursed spirit that was born out of countless negative emotions was enough to make the self-suppressing girl collapse.

It hurts so much.

Everything around her was disappearing, and Kagura Mio's pupils shrank slightly.

She saw, heard, and felt the things around her that humans called curses. Because something born out of human pain, disgust and hatred is tearing her apart.

They were screaming, howling, and roaring. Countless feelings that could not be described in words instantly flooded her world. In such a vast existence like the ocean, what was Kagura Mio to her?

It felt like she was drowning. Kagura Mio only felt the pain and despair from the bottom of her heart. They covered her senses like dense tentacles, slowly and maliciously entwining her soul.

It hurts. It hurts so much.

Countless densely packed fly heads were hovering on Gojo Satoru like flies. He felt like his body was cut into pieces like cola chicken wings. His torso, thighs, head... every part of his body was painful.

However, the physical pain could not stop his brain which was still able to think. Gojo Satoru felt as if his soul was leaving his body. He felt an unprecedented sense of freedom and reached a state that his predecessor had never reached.

Kagura Mio felt that her condition was very strange.

Ever since she treated Ikeda Rensaburo, she felt that her mind was in a trance and she wondered if she was mentally ill. Otherwise, how could she see Gojo Satoru floating in the air, saying something very childish like "I am the only one in the world who is supreme?"

She saw blood on Gojo Satoru's body. Was he injured?

It's rare that guy can still be mentally free after his physical body is so injured, but she is the complete negative example of Gojo Satoru -

her body is intact, but her mind is almost collapsed.

They are truly one in spirit and flesh.

Why.

So annoying.

So tired.

It feels so uncomfortable.

Kagura Mio thought.

There was some emotion in her chest that was about to burst out, the feeling that could not be suppressed, did not want to be suppressed, and could occupy her mind and reason anytime and anywhere, surged up again.

The cursed energy around her suddenly rioted along with her emotions, and several faint red threads appeared between her palms. Kagura Mio didn't know what she was thinking, and she had also lost this part of her perception. She just acted based on her feelings, and then let the extremely powerful force gushed out from the end of the red threads -

Gojo Satoru looked at the dead black-haired man in front of him, turned around without quite understanding, and stared at Kagura Mio.

She looked no different than usual, but just standing there made people feel different.

Is that so...

Gojo Satoru tilted his head, looked at the girl who released a powerful strength he had never seen before, and asked softly: "Are you in pain?"

Kagura Mio also stared at Gojo Satoru: "Are you in pain?"

The two stood in the sunset, looking at each other across the sun that was about to set.

The bright red light fell on Gojo Satoru's face. The two of them stared at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.

It was not a restrained smile, nor was it the happy smile when having fun together, but the kind of smile that came from the heart, could not be controlled, and was in a state of madness at any time.

Like an extreme madman.

This is what Geto Suguru said.

He looked at the messy Pansei Sect, and then at the boy and girl holding hands and standing silently in the Pansei Sect. For the first time, he thought from the bottom of his heart:

Gojo Satoru and Kagura Mio, a perfect match, a perfect lunatic.
