Chapter 31: Blood Sacrifice

The huge black curse spirit stood up and was as tall as the entire Shinjuku New Woman department store.

It made its face ferocious and let out a roar. Its tongue, which was long enough to drag on the ground, rolled up the entire department store building with a slight movement.

Ijichi Jiegao stood in the distance, watching the huge cursed spirit walking towards him step by step with footprints that were big enough to crush the road -

the red light was like a bomb cutting through the darkness, and with a loud bang, a violent color burst out. Gojo Satoru's "Ritual Counter-War·He" had already been like a very powerful shock wave that directly drilled through the huge black cursed spirit. Before the cursed spirit even knew where the enemy attacking him was, he was knocked to the ground by another wave of red cursed power, smashing down an entire street of buildings.

And then the next second.

Gojo Satoru appeared in the air, looking down at the scene in front of him from a high vantage point. His six eyes calculated the direction precisely without a trace of mercy.

"Ritual: Clockwise. Cang."

All the space around them suddenly collapsed, and the untouchable limitless force directly attracted and tore apart the row of cursed spirits below. Amid the painful howls of the cursed spirits, Gojo Satoru blinked gently. He stood in mid-air, judging all living beings like a god, and the first to bear the brunt were the crying and noisy cursed spirits. Next—he looked at the dark-skinned man standing on the roof.

Miguel took a sharp breath.

The feeling of looking into the eyes of a god was really bad, and he took a short breath.

He had thought about Gojo Satoru's strength, but he had never thought that he had such powerful energy - it really surprised him.

But it doesn't matter -

Miguel assumed a fighting stance, holding the rope wrapped around his waist in his hands.

Gojo Satoru is very strong, but what if he loses his technique?

What's more,

he is a sorcerer who is extremely good at close combat.

But Miguel was soon slapped in the face.

He moved quickly, his figure breaking through the wind like thunder, carrying enormous strength and cursed energy as he attacked Gojo Satoru. The slender rope wrapped around the surrounding buildings like a giant python to facilitate her movements, trying to tear the strongest man in front of her apart. However, Gojo Satoru just tilted his head slightly, sank his shoulders, and disappeared on the spot.

"Heh."

"You're only this young and you're here to join in the fun?"

The white-haired man chuckled, and his six pale blue eyes opened slightly. He followed the figure of the person in front of him accurately, and without hesitation, he cast "Cang" in mid-air, tearing into pieces all the cursed spirits that blocked his way. Her figure was as fast as lightning, and Miguel was entangled by her and smashed hard onto the roof of a building.

He spat out a mouthful of blood in pain, climbed up from the ground viciously, looked at the black rope in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, "Interesting, interesting."

"Special grade, this rope is made with the cursed power of the entire country, and can easily disrupt all spells, including--"

"You have no bottom line."

"Really?" Gojo Satoru put one hand in his pocket, dodged Miguel's attack without looking back, and combed his hair by the way, "Tsk tsk, the big guy from Africa is quite international, and speaks Japanese well. I thought he was going to speak English to you. Of course, Gojo teacher's English is also okay--"

Miguel's face sank, and he pulled the black rope in his hand to break the opponent's no bottom line.

Gojo Satoru raised the corners of his lips and narrowed his eyes slightly. His six pale blue eyes showed a hint of sarcasm under his white hair: "Oh my, is this the 'cordial greeting' you have over there? It's too rude. I'm not used to it."

The black rope suddenly rolled up again, and Gojo Satoru jumped up lightly, turned around and landed on the tall building. He looked down at Miguel, raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled: "This move of yours... might have hurt me when I was in kindergarten."

Miguel: "..."

The next second, the other party grabbed his hand and started fighting, punching him in the flesh without mercy.

米格尔在对方大的口吐鲜血涕泪横飞的瞬间，听见五条悟那欠揍的声音：“忘了告诉你，你的体术在我见过的人里算烂的。上一个像你一样爱健身的家伙可是把我打的好～痛啊。不过那之后伟大的五条老师就发愤图强精进体术了，怎么样？感觉不错吧？”

“抱歉啦，粗鲁了一点，但我要去找可爱的女孩子，所以——”

“没空陪你玩啦。”

这是米格尔彻底失去意识前听到的的最后一句话。

The other side.

The corridors of the college were in ruins from east to west, and it looked devastated everywhere, with almost no intact part. The broken ruins mixed with the smell of gunpowder, the purple blood of the cursed spirit that was about to disappear, and the blood that the woman in front of him kept spitting out, weaved together an extremely painful and cruel picture.

Kagura Mio was half-kneeling, the cursed power vibrating and echoing around her like silk threads, like the sound of a bell sinking into the deep sea, resonating with her inner pain and determination layer by layer.

The special-grade cursed tool Narukami that she had used for many years fell at her feet. The remnant silk thread was hooking Narukami and throwing it to her. Kagura Mio reached out her hand in pain, tightly grasped her clothes, and slowly climbed up from the ground.

In the brain, the adaptability of the procedure has risen to 95% again.

Ever since her power soared to 99.9% after sleeping with Gojo Satoru, Kagura Mio no longer dared to use the technique too often. Even if she did, she could control it below 80%. Now that it has suddenly soared to this value, it is really a bit difficult to deal with.

The glaring red mark, like blood, was constantly warning her that her body was reaching its limit. There was only a foggy consciousness left in her mind. All reason, pain and emotions disappeared at this moment. Kagura Mio had only one thought in her mind:

she wanted to win.

"Do you really want to beat me, Mio?"

Geto Suguru was standing opposite her, watching her get up from the ground with neither joy nor sadness.

He was wearing a monk's robe, and his deep purple eyes were gentle and cold, as if it had snowed early in Tokyo, and it was so cold that she felt a little melancholy.

Yes, he is no longer the Geto Suguru who used to eat ice cream with her and chat with her under the wisteria flowers.

But she was unwilling.

Back then, she tried to hold him back under the wisteria flowers, but failed. She tried to stop him in the alleys of Kagurazaka, but failed. Would she also fail in the technical high school - the starting point of everything?

"Mio, there's something wrong with your technique."

Geto Suguru looked at the crumbling Mio Kagura in front of him, and his tone of voice was as vague as mist: "Mio, do you really want to stop me?"

His voice was gentle, "You know I won't kill you."

Mio Kagura did not answer.

Her nasal cavity, chest, respiratory tract, and lungs were filled with a strong smell of blood. She felt that her body was about to break into pieces, just like the cursed dolls that were smashed by Gojo Satoru when she was a child - haha, at this time, she actually thought of that guy again.

Instinctively, she gently raised her hand, and the reverberating melody trembled slightly at her fingertips.

"I'm not blocking you... I just want to win."

Geto Suguru laughed: "Win our bet? You really are wasting your time on useless things."

Kagura Mio did not respond.

She gently took off her coat - a corner of the college uniform coat had been soaked with her blood, and wearing it now would only get in the way.

She looked at Geto Suguru and said softly:

"It's not just for the bet. I'll give you three chances and give myself three chances."

Time went back to a few days ago.

The day they met at Kagurazaka.

In the alley, Geto Suguru's eyes looked as gentle as ever.

He was still as calm and gentle as before, but with a little more restraint and suppressed pain.

This is his truest appearance - not deliberately imitating Gojo Satoru's madness and arrogance, nor is it the disdain he shows when monkeys kill humans, but rather the most authentic appearance of the 27-year-old Geto Suguru.

Kagura Mio looked at Geto Suguru and suddenly asked him, "Have you ever thought about turning back?"

Geto Suguru paused.

He turned his back to Kagura Mio and walked to the end of the alley. The sunlight was completely blocked by the alley. He stood in the shadow and said with a smile, "There's no turning back for me, Mio."

"What if there is?"

Kagura Mio suddenly asked.

"If there's a chance--"

"I don't have a chance."

Geto Suguru interrupted Kagura Mio and turned at the end of the alley.

"For the last time." Kagura Mio said, "Satsuguru Geto, you are someone who dares to embrace conflict and dares to move towards destruction, so why don't you dare to bet with me?"

She couldn't see Suguru Geto's figure, but she knew he was there.

"The first time, I was under the wisteria flowers. I could understand you, I understood your original intention, and I knew you were once kind."

"The second time, was just now, I gave you a way out, but you refused."

"The third time, the last time."

Kagura Mio said, "If I beat you, you will come back."

Suguru Geto laughed: "What do you want to bet with me?"

"Everything of mine. My life." Kagura Mio said without hesitation.

Xia Youjie raised his head and looked at the alley behind the corner -

the warm winter sun shone on him, but it was not warm, it was even a little cold, and it looked particularly dazzling.

After a long time, he said, "Then just try it."

"Do you really want to win, Mio?"

In Geto Suguru's "Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique: Ultimate", the special-grade cursed spirit Tamamonomae attacked Kagura Mio like the most powerful vengeful spirit in the world.

He used his strongest offensive.

You really are...fighting with all your might, Jay.

Kagura Mio's lips curled up with the last bit of smile, she raised her head without hesitation, and the Narukami that Gojo Satoru gave her cut her wrist like a swan song.

Fight with your life and sacrifice your blood.

Sorry, Satoru.

This is what she has to do.

She couldn't bear to see Yuta Otsutsukotsu and other innocent people die, and she had to stop Geto Suguru, and it would be best if she could get him to return to the high school - this would be a win-win situation.

"Ninety-nine Parts: Heavenly Evolution and Rippling Light."

She could use her own spells to simulate a similar effect. She used what little strength she had left -

"Resonance."

Geto Suguru's eyes widened.

Kagura Mio, she is resonating with Tamamonomae!

Of course, he knew clearly the consequences of the resonance between her technique and the cursed spirit. Once the compatibility was too high, her brain and spirit would definitely not be able to bear it. Kagura Mio was really risking her life with him!

The resentment from the vengeful spirits hit her brain, and Kagura Mio whispered, "You are no longer the Geto Suguru who needed my help... but I still want you to come back. "

The magic exploded, the cursed power surged!

Their battle was no longer distinguishable, it was a contest of wills and a collision of souls.

The sonic boom exploded like thunder, piercing through Geto's cursed spirit defense in front of eyes as big as Geto's, setting off a huge echo ripple, and in an instant shook him several meters away, and he fell to the ground.

The dust settled.

Both of them fell among the rubble, covered in blood, their breathing disordered and low.

After a long time, Geto turned his head and raised the corners of his mouth with difficulty.

That smile was like the trace of a boy left in the sun under the corridor of the high school many years ago.

"...I lost, Mio. "

He said it very softly, but it was as if the weight of the whole world had been lifted off his shoulders.

Kagura Mio smiled, feeling her vitality draining away from her body. The world in front of her became blurry, and she rubbed her eyes a little annoyed, only to find that she didn't have the strength to raise her hands.

She said, "You're obviously looking forward to coming back here too, Jay. "

Xia Youjie said: "Yes." "

She asked, "How many innocent people have you killed?" "

Xiaoyou Jie: "I don’t remember. "

Kagura Mio nodded,"Then spend the rest of your life atonement for your sins. "

Geto Suguru leaned opposite her and looked at her a little tiredly," Mio, you are really a monster. "

A monster who always has to suppress himself.

The upper limit is so high, but because of those reasons, he can only do this.

"I know. "Kagura Mio said," You said it before, and I heard it. "

Is that so..."

Xia Youjie closed his eyes and asked the question he had been thinking about for a long time: "Aren't you worried that I will break my promise to you before? Was it not necessary to establish restraints at that time? ”

“That one. "Kagura Mio took a deep breath and found her lungs were full of blood.

She sighed, touched the wound on her chest again, and finally chose to give up: "I don't want to be bound by anyone. "

Xia Youjie smiled, his purple eyes were like a crescent moon: "It is obvious that there is already someone by your side who is restraining you. "

Kagura Mio: “?" "

Just when she was about to ask further, a man with white hair and no bandages fell from the sky, holding Inujuan Ji and Panda on the left and right.

Before landing, Gojo Satoru threw the two students to the ground beside him without hesitation, then clapped his hands, stared down at the two classmates who blew up the school, then clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"Why didn't you call me for such a good thing as blowing up the school? "

Kagura Mio & Suguru Geto: "..."

He lowered his head slightly and looked at the scarred Kagura Mio. She was clearly smiling, but her tone sounded like she was angry. A sense of oppression from the inside out came over him: "Ah, Mio Mio. "

"It really...surprised me. "

"What, you don't like pure love anymore, and you like the bad guy with squinty eyes? ”

"This kind of bad man who can be made into seaweed cakes and thrown into the Sea of ​​Japan and disappear from this world with the heavy snow is the wrong answer."

Although he smiled, there was a cold chill in his eyes:

"Gojo teacher will not allow it~"

"So I have to punish you, Mio Mio."
