Chapter 349 Yuji Itadori watched the hastily departing Megumi Fushiguro

He needed to retrieve the Cursed Object before those two ordinary people got themselves killed, and then exorcise the Cursed Spirits from the mission.

"What a strange guy."

Yuji Itadori watched the hastily departing Megumi Fushiguro, a bit confused about what had happened.

In Yuji Itadori's view, Megumi Fushiguro was an even more extreme chuunibyou occult enthusiast than Senior Sasaki.

The so-called Cursed Object and curse were just fantasy settings that Megumi Fushiguro had read somewhere and firmly believed in.

But, what if it was real?

He recalled Megumi Fushiguro's hurried actions just now.

First, he chased him from High School to the hospital, and after talking to him, immediately returned to High School.

If it was a prank, it was a bit too much.

Just then, his grandfather's parting words echoed in Yuji Itadori's mind.

 

"Yuji, you are strong. Use that strength to help others, within your means. Save as many people as you can. Even if you're not understood or thanked, don't mind it. Just keep striving to save more people."

"You must die surrounded by people, not like me..."

At this thought, Yuji Itadori made up his mind.

He would catch up, follow in Megumi Fushiguro's footsteps.

If Senior Sasaki was really in danger as Megumi Fushiguro said, then he had to save them.

If Senior Sasaki and the others were fine, that would be for the best. He could talk to Megumi Fushiguro's family and suggest taking him to a psychologist.

To get to High School as quickly as possible, Yuji Itadori chose a shortcut. His physical prowess, far exceeding that of ordinary people, allowed him to easily perform many parkour moves that even dedicated parkour enthusiasts would struggle with.

On the fourth floor of High School, Megumi Fushiguro, who had rushed back at top speed, summoned his Jade Hounds. With the cooperation of the two Jade Hounds, he continuously eliminated the weaker Cursed Spirits in the corridor, saving Sasaki and Iguchi from the Occult Research Club.

The Jade Hounds swung their sharp claws, severing a disgusting Cursed Spirit that looked like a Fusion of a human and an insect.

Megumi Fushiguro quickly walked in front of Iguchi, his hand enveloped in Cursed Energy, grabbed the masked Cursed Spirit, and tore it apart, exorcising it.

Megumi Fushiguro supported the unconscious Iguchi and looked at Sasaki, who was slumped on the ground nearby.

"Can you still walk?"

"Yes, I can, I can walk."

Senior Sasaki trembled as she got up, looking at the Jade Hounds devouring Cursed Spirits nearby.

With the danger gone and two cute dogs beside her, Sasaki's mood finally calmed down a bit.

"Is that, a ghost?"

Still seemingly terrified deep down, Sasaki's hand, pointing at the Cursed Spirit, was still trembling slightly.

"It's a Cursed Spirit."

Megumi Fushiguro carried Iguchi, who looked heavier than him, with one hand, maintaining his cool, delinquent-like expression.

"If you can walk, follow me. Let's get out of here first."

Megumi Fushiguro had no intention of helping the Senior whose legs were weak, walking straight past Sasaki.

"Oh, right, you have a Cursed Object on you, don't you? That's very dangerous. I need to retrieve it."

"A Cursed Object?"

Sasaki immediately thought of the dried finger they had just been examining.

"Is it this?"

Sasaki took out Sukuna's Finger from her pocket, and Megumi Fushiguro showed a surprised expression upon seeing it.

The news of Gojo Satoru defeating Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses, had been a huge sensation in the Jujutsu World recently.

Information about Sukuna was widely circulated both in High School and on Jujutsu Sorcerer forums.

Megumi Fushiguro naturally recognized it.

'Sukuna, after incarnating, was already vanquished by Gojo-sensei. Sukuna's Finger should have disappeared.'

This was what surprised Megumi Fushiguro the most.

'No, the one that was eliminated before was the 16-fingered Sukuna, which means there are still 4 fingers unaccounted for.'

Megumi Fushiguro, unaware of the location of the remaining four fingers, mentally concocted a plausible explanation.

Outside the High School gate, Yuji Itadori, having just arrived, sensed a change in the High School.

It was an instinctive physical reaction to danger, as if some Vicious Beast, preying on humans, was lurking inside the High School.

"What that person said was true?"

Yuji Itadori looked at the High School in disbelief, then directly jumped over the gate and rushed in.

In war, urban warfare is the most brutal tactic because you have to fight in an extremely confined and complex environment.

Normal combat usually involves tactics and coordination, but urban warfare is different; not only is the fighting chaotic and unpredictable, but unforeseen changes can occur at any time and anywhere.

Megumi Fushiguro's current situation was similar to urban warfare.

"This is very dangerous, give it to me."

The moment Sukuna's Finger appeared, Megumi Fushiguro's attention was completely drawn to it.

In Megumi Fushiguro's view, such a dangerous item had to be retrieved and sealed with high priority.

Once a Cursed Object reaches Special Grade, it can be made indestructible through a binding vow.

Sukuna's Finger was the most powerful among them.

Not only was it indestructible, but it was also extremely difficult for it to incarnate.

For a thousand years, only Tomie, through her special immortality, had endured Sukuna's virulent Cursed Energy.

As Megumi Fushiguro's hand was about to touch the finger, a sudden change occurred.

A dark green large hand pierced through the ceiling from above.

It directly grabbed Sasaki, who was holding Sukuna's Finger.

Megumi Fushiguro secretly thought, 'This is bad.'

The Jade Hounds were behind him eating Cursed Spirits, and his right hand was carrying an injured person, making movement difficult.

Megumi Fushiguro gritted his teeth, his body suddenly stepping forward, and his left hand, which was originally reaching for Sukuna's Finger, pushed upwards with force.

Sasaki was pushed away by Megumi Fushiguro, and Iguchi, who was originally on his shoulder, was also thrown behind him by Megumi Fushiguro.

One Jade Hound used its body to cushion Iguchi, preventing him from getting hurt, while the other Jade Hound rushed towards Megumi Fushiguro for emergency support.

Boom.

Because Megumi Fushiguro pushed Sasaki away, the Cursed Spirit's large hand landed on him.

The Cursed Spirit forcefully slapped Megumi Fushiguro away, and his head hit the wall heavily.

This caused blood to continuously flow from Megumi Fushiguro's head.

Megumi Fushiguro, the battle-damaged beauty version.

The Jade Hounds nearby also melted like chocolate when Megumi Fushiguro's head took a heavy blow.

'My head, it hurts. Jade Hounds...'

Megumi Fushiguro struggled to open his eyes, his vision blurry as he looked ahead.

The Cursed Spirit, with an appearance like a lizard but with four eyes, six human-like legs, and a tongue also covered in eyes, was about to devour Sasaki and Sukuna's Finger together.

'Nue to save people... Round Deer to heal...'

The constant pain from his head made it difficult for Megumi Fushiguro to think. The Shikigami summoning, which would normally be completed quickly, now became exceptionally difficult.

"Let go of Senior Sasaki!"

At this critical moment, the strong athletic student Yuji Itadori, who had run at a speed not inferior to Megumi Fushiguro's car ride and used the trees to jump into the fourth floor, arrived.
