Chapter 52:

These two gazes naturally came from Naraku, who had inexplicably disappeared for a while.

He had been injured by Sukuna and had been working tirelessly to find a way to keep Naoko alive, only to have this cold-blooded woman, while he was away, take advantage of her absence and become entangled with another man.

The flames of anger nearly burned him, and he even had the urge to beat the adulterous couple to death in the street...

Since Kawase Naoko didn't take him seriously, he certainly didn't need to worry about this idiot's life or death.

Naoko was completely oblivious to this, unaware of the impending crisis, and continued to smile and stroll with her new boyfriend.

Besides Miki and Naraku, the only people displeased with this date were Sukuna, who was hidden within her body.

"Hey, kid... too noisy, get out of here."

Ilmi glanced sideways, and saw that Naoko, who had been normal just a moment ago, had transformed into a muscular man with a face covered in tattoos.

His ill-fitting shirt and skirt were bulging outwards. He glanced sideways with annoyance. It was clear this wasn't Naoko herself.

It seemed Sukuna's finger had completely fused with her, making it difficult to extract.

Having reached this point, Ilmu pulled out his phone, took a picture of Ryomen Sukuna, and then sent it to Miki with a message:

"Ah, your girlfriend has become your boyfriend."

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from his side. Without a second thought, he leaped to avoid Ryomen Sukuna's surprise attack.

"Quick moves..."

Ilmu pocketed his phone. "Now's not the time for a confrontation."

He quickly retreated into the crowd. The most important thing now was to find a way to separate the finger.

The High Commissioner's Office would no longer tolerate his perfunctory approach.

-

Ilmu prepared to discuss the matter, but Naraku's mind was already consumed by the flames of anger.

He sneaked into Naoko's room under the cover of night and stood in front of her bed.

He had felt pity for her countless times, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and put his palm on Naoko's flat and soft belly.

This little movement didn't wake up Naoko, but it woke up the two-faced Sukuna in her body.

Sukuna popped out an eye and opened a mouth on her face, with unconcealed expectation in his words:

"Do you want her to die? Ha... As long as you separate your fingers, she will become a curse, and even the Four Souls Jewel will no longer work.

Then, she will most likely be killed by an incompetent sorcerer...

"How interesting..."

He laughed softly.

Naraku knew how powerful he was: "You want to protect her?"

"I just want to make sure she's alive. As for whether she becomes a curse or not, it has nothing to do with me. "The crimson mouth laughed twice, "So... just act out this scene for me to your heart's content..."

The purple halo lingered in Naraku's palm, and the sleeping Naoko's face gradually turned pale, and her body twitched involuntarily, trying to break free from his shackles.

But it was useless, she had already been tied to the bedpost.

In the darkness, she finally opened her eyes slightly.

Half asleep and half awake, the moonlight illuminated Naraku's pale face.

She couldn't help but shouting in pain: "Naraku..."

The unusual movement in this rental house naturally attracted the attention of many people.

In addition to Illumi, who had been secretly paying attention to Naoko for many days, there was also Muzan Kibutsuji next door, whose sense of smell was different from that of ordinary people.

Sukuna's fingers revealed obvious finger shapes on her belly skin, and she subconsciously ate like a shrimp. She curled up like this, and her eyes opened slightly.

As if she realized that Naraku was doing something excessive to her, she hummed like a kitten and shouted, "Naraku..."

In the darkness, Naraku raised his eyes from her belly, met her gaze, and paused.

Because of this moment of distraction, he was thrown away by Ilmi who broke into the room, rolled twice, spit out a mouthful of blood due to the backlash of the magic, and staggered to the ground.

The heavy finger fell to the ground with a clang, and Ilmi bent down to pick it up.

There was a dark shadow in front of them, and he and Naraku raised their eyes at the same time and looked in the direction of Naoko.

She swelled up like a balloon, her muscles bulging, and she staggered up from the ground.

As if she was not fully awake yet, she shook her head, and even the rental house was shaking:

"Hey—Naraku—what's going on—I feel like I'm getting taller and taller—and my voice is weird—"

Her features were misaligned, her eyes bulging with fat, and her hoarse words echoed.

"It's like—it's hitting the ceiling—am I—that tall—"

Illumi looked up at her, lost in thought. "Completely cursed, yet still conscious?"

His gaze fell on the Shikon Jewel on her chest. The half orb still shone with a dazzling light, apparently protecting her.

"Although you're still barely human, I'm sorry, for the safety of the people around you, it's best you die." With that, Illumi pulled out several needles from somewhere.

"What—do you mean—am I—dreaming—?" Naoko rubbed her eyes. As she finished her words, she felt several spikes piercing her thighs. "What—is going on—it hurts—"

"You're not dead. Even your physique isn't human anymore." "After making such comments, Ilmu pulled out two more needles, but before he could do anything, Naraku crawled over and grabbed his trouser leg.

His cold eyes like a poisonous snake fixed him tightly: "Give me Sukuna's finger."

Ilmu kicked him away with a calm expression: "This is a treasure escorted by the Zoldyck family. As for you, you are just a shameless thief. "

Naraku spat out another mouthful of blood, and this time he was completely unable to get up.

He tried his best to get Sukuna's finger, but failed. Not only did he make Naoko cursed, but he also suffered from hemiplegia.

He lost both the wife and the army.

Ilmu weighed the needle in his hand.

Although he used a lot of strength, he could only cause her some minor flesh wounds.

It was the Four Souls Jade that was protecting her.

At this point, the only way to seal this woman up temporarily.

-

Naoko seemed to have had a very long dream.

In the dream, she turned into a bloated, horrible-looking "curse".

Her new boyfriend Ilmu and adopted son Yuuki were responsible for feeding her with fresh meat.

Although it seemed reluctant, the food was delivered in time.

As for her roommate Naraku?

He seemed to be lying in the hospital bed next to her because of hemiplegia.

Illumi and Yuuki-kun didn't like him very much, often mocking him before giving him some food as alms.

Strangely enough, Naoko used to love chocolate parfaits, but now, thinking of something so sweet, not only did she lose her appetite, she even felt like vomiting.

She wanted to eat meat, raw meat, fresh meat with blood.

Why did she say it was a dream?

Because she wasn't quite awake...
