Gojo Satoru quickly saw Miyauchi Hikage leaning against the car, a look of exhaustion on his face, and in his arms, a girl who looked like she had passed out.
He compared him with the photo that Yaga Masamichi had given him, and after confirming that this handsome youth was the Miyauchi Hikage he was looking for, Gojo Satoru walked over to his side.
"Can you still stand up? Need my help?" Gojo Satoru glanced at the girl's condition, confirmed that she should have only fainted temporarily due to some psychological shock and was not in any mortal danger, and then asked Miyauchi Hikage.
Miyauchi Hikage had, of course, seen Gojo Satoru appear before him in a flash from a distance.
He sized him up carefully.
He looked no different from his impression.
White hair, black clothes, wearing an eye mask.
He shook his head at him. "I'm just not familiar with the ability yet, so I'm a little tired. It's not a big problem."
Then he pointed his hand towards the alley about 500 meters away.
"The spirit of that Yuuko found us there just now and attacked us. I barely managed to teleport away with Konomi. I just don't know if she's still over there now."
Seeing that Miyauchi Hikage could still maintain a stable mental state at this time, Gojo Satoru carefully sized him up again.
Perhaps because he had just completed his awakening, his spirit and body now seemed to be in a period of transformation.
Miyauchi Hikage, who in the file had a physical aptitude with barely Grade 1 potential, was now, under the influence of some unknown power, rapidly transforming his body.
Even without considering his spatial teleportation ability, it seemed that he might be able to reach the level of a special-grade just by relying on his own body.
"This era really keeps producing all kinds of geniuses," Gojo Satoru muttered to himself, and then told Miyauchi Hikage to stay here while he went to the alley he had mentioned to look for traces of that vengeful spirit.
The alley was indeed a mess, with a rather obvious fluctuation of resentment power left behind, as well as an almost imperceptible special power, which should be the power from Miyauchi Hikage's teleportation.
However, Gojo Satoru carefully sensed it on the spot, but could only feel a faint resentment power fleeing in another direction.
And this resentment power dissipated after fleeing for a kilometer or two. It seemed that the other party had sensed some threat and had hidden itself.
For this kind of vengeful spirit that was single-mindedly focused on hiding and running away, it was quite troublesome even for Gojo Satoru to track it down and would take a lot of time.
It seemed that he could only start from the other main body of that vengeful spirit.
Gojo Satoru thought, and then looked at the backpack scattered on the ground in the alley. This should be what Miyauchi Hikage had left behind before teleporting.
He simply helped him pack it up and then returned to the car with the backpack.
"That vengeful spirit may have sensed my presence, so it has already fled in a hurry." Gojo Satoru had no intention of hiding his strength.
After all, he had teleported and flash-stepped all the way here. This method naturally couldn't control the cursed energy in his body from leaking out.
Perhaps on his way here, some newly born vengeful spirits and Cursed Spirits had been erased by the aftershock of his cursed energy.
Kanoe Yuuko, this super Grade 1 vengeful spirit, clearly had intelligence no less than that of a human. It was normal for her to choose to run away when she sensed danger.
He threw the backpack back to Miyauchi Hikage. "Your backpack. See if everything inside is still there."
Miyauchi Hikage nodded, then casually flipped through his backpack. "It's basically all here, nothing's missing."
Gojo Satoru had originally wanted to chat a little more about his ability, since he would most likely be his student in the future.
But as he had spent some time coming and going, Itou Kaiji at this time had also run out of the school.
After seeing the collapsed Miyauchi Hikage and the unconscious Fujimiya Konomi, he also quickly took out the car keys and opened the car door. "Boss, should we take Fujimiya-san to the hospital?"
Miyauchi Hikage looked back at Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Satoru waved his hand. "Although I don't think it's necessary, if you're worried, it's fine to take her for a check-up. But it's not suitable for you to go."
Miyauchi Hikage's body was currently in a transformation period after awakening. A normal hospital would definitely not be able to find any problems.
Only then did Miyauchi Hikage turn his head, stand up, and slowly carry Fujimiya Konomi to the back seat of the car and put her down, then continued to ask Itou Kaiji, "Then let's not send her to the hospital for now. But how's the situation on your side? Is everyone still safe?"
Itou Kaiji immediately began to explain what he had experienced in the past hour with animated gestures.
Being trapped in a room he couldn't leave, being pulled into an illusion by the evil Kanoe Yuuko to feel her hatred, and being unable to break free with all his might.
And then being saved by the kind Kanoe Yuuko, and finally, the evil Kanoe Yuuko fleeing in panic.
He still wanted to show off the videos he had taken in the basement, but Miyauchi Hikage waved his hand, saying that he had no energy to look at these things now, and that they should talk about it tomorrow.
"So Chairman Kanoe's situation is more dangerous now?" Miyauchi Hikage frowned, and then glanced at Itou Kaiji. "Forget it, your driving skills are not good. It wouldn't be good if something went wrong with you helping."
"But let's go to the school first and see if there's anything else they need help with," Miyauchi Hikage wiped his forehead. It seemed that because of the rest just now, his condition had recovered a little.
It was only at this time that Miyauchi Hikage turned his head again to invite Gojo Satoru into the car, and at the same time, took the opportunity to ask about his identity.
"A teacher from Jujutsu High... Anyway, Gojo Satoru-san, thank you so much for rushing over at this time."
After Gojo Satoru introduced himself, Miyauchi Hikage also showed a grateful attitude.
Gojo Satoru waved his hand carelessly. "After all, you're a talent our principal values, and you might become my student in the future. You don't need to worry too much about this kind of thing."
He said this, and then sat down in the passenger seat without any hesitation, and fastened his seat belt. "Then let's go back to the school together. I happen to have some questions for that Yuuko."
Since the matter had been resolved and there would be no more crisis for the time being, he naturally no longer planned to use the power of teleportation.
Itou Kaiji naturally knew that this Gojo Satoru must be a very important person, so after Miyauchi Hikage was seated, he drove the car up the slope in front of Seikyou Academy's main gate.
Kanoe Kirie had not yet regained consciousness. Although her condition was not as serious as Kanoe Yukariko's, it was definitely a bit worse than Fujimiya Konomi's.
Hiiragi Inori was still in the school checking on Kanoe Yukariko's body.
As for Yuuko.
Looking at the two people lying on the ground.
One was the younger sister who had killed her sixty years ago.
The other was a Kanoe descendant who looked exactly like her.
Looking at these two people, her heart could not calm down at all. She just wanted to get away from them, preferably to never see them again.
But she couldn't leave now.
Due to the chaotic disruption of the ley line, she still maintained her connection to it, but the ley line could no longer restrict her range of movement.
It could be said that as long as her power was sufficient, she could continue to exist in this world.
But it was precisely because of this that, even without restrictions, she could not leave this place for the time being.
Because this was Kanoe Yuuko's main base.
With the ley line in chaotic disruption, the only way for her to obtain the power to continue to exist was through the rumors about herself in the school.
Before the ending of the shadow Yuuko was determined, she naturally could not leave, lest the other party come back here to draw power after she had left.
Only after everything about the shadow Yuuko was completely settled could she leave this place with peace of mind.
"But, if I had that diary... maybe I could speed this up."
When she thought of that diary, Kanoe Yuuko also saw Itou Kaiji and the others driving into the school, and after getting out of the car, Miyauchi Hikage was carrying the backpack with her diary in it.
But as she tried to sense the whereabouts of the diary.
Then she was stunned to find that until a few minutes ago, she could still vaguely feel it, and could even summon it with a single thought. But now, although she could still sense the connection between her and that diary, she had lost the ability to summon it.
Could it be my imagination?
Kanoe Yuiko floated in Miyauchi Hikage's direction.
Seeing this female ghost staring at the backpack in Miyauchi Hikage's hand, Gojo Satoru also seemed to have noticed something, so he did not intervene.
Miyauchi Hikage naturally knew Kanoe Yuuko's purpose, but he had deliberately left his backpack in the alley and had already prepared his excuse.
He handed his backpack to Kanoe Yuuko with an apologetic look, and once again told the truth he had fabricated.
He was attacked by the shadow Yuuko, and in a hurry, he escaped from there with his awakened ability, but ended up leaving his backpack behind.
Hearing this, Kanoe Yuuko's heart became even more uneasy.
So, that self had noticed that she had put the diary in Miyauchi Hikage's backpack, so from the very beginning, her purpose in running away was to snatch that diary from him?
Noticing that the expression on Kanoe Yuuko's face was not right, Gojo Satoru also came over. "What did you put in his backpack before?"
But because she was still nominally the owner of the diary, she was still enjoying the diary's indiscriminate shielding function and could not explain it to anyone.
She anxiously explained for a long time, but Gojo Satoru on the side could only roughly understand that Kanoe Yuuko's side had a powerful magical tool that could resist the shadow Yuuko's mental invasion, and could probably provide her with powerful strength at critical moments, but as a price, she could not describe the situation of that magical tool in any form.
"Sounds like some kind of special-grade Cursed Tool with a built-in binding vow," Gojo Satoru judged. Although he wouldn't worry about a special-grade Cursed Tool, he couldn't stay in Saitama Prefecture to track the shadow Yuuko's trail. At most, he would report this matter and let the Jujutsu higher-ups and the Shinto higher-ups discuss how to find the trail of that vengeful spirit.
But this kind of search would generally not yield any results.
If those guys were so easy to find, the number of special-grade vengeful spirits and Cursed Spirits that had died at his hands would have at least doubled by now.
In the end, it would probably just be sending a special-grade spirit medium over to help repair the ley line, and then sending a Grade 1 priest over to rebuild a shrine in this vicinity to defend against the shadow Yuuko, who could return for revenge at any time.
The good news was that the Kanoe Yuuko before him might have a chance to be promoted.
After all, her connection with the ley line of this place was too deep. After the shrine was established, although she could not become the guardian deity of the shrine, she would also be qualified to have a statue and a shrine as a divine messenger.
However, he didn't need to worry about this kind of thing. After all, there was still Hiiragi Inori, the genuine shrine maiden, here.
After Gojo Satoru stated the possible future arrangements, so that Kanoe Yuuko no longer had to worry about the matter of her other self, her expression looked a little lost.
So, after living in a muddle for sixty years, without having yet been freed from the past, she could still become a so-called deity?
Until the ambulance took the unconscious Kanoe Yukariko and Kanoe Kirie away, she had not recovered from Gojo Satoru's explanation.
She just stood at the school gate watching the ambulance leave, and ignored the thanks that Hiiragi Inori expressed to her.
Seeing that Kanoe Yuuko had no reaction, Hiiragi Inori knew that her heart was still full of confusion, so she left her here to continue thinking.
She, on the other hand, was on the phone with her mother with a bitter face, reporting the situation on her side and asking the higher-ups to send someone over to help repair the ley line.
After all, she was not a special-grade combat power like Gojo Satoru, who didn't need to consider anything other than taking action.
The current Gojo Satoru, after casually setting up a sealing barrier to prevent the influence of the ley line from spreading further, had gone to find a place to eat a late-night snack.
And she would probably have to stay here tonight to sort out the spiritual power of the ley line, and would definitely have to write a bunch of reports to explain the situation here later.
Fortunately, besides the dazed Kanoe Yuuko, there were also Miyauchi Hikage and his group who could accompany her here.
Because they had gone through so much tonight, even Itou Kaiji, who had not suffered much damage, was clearly showing signs of fatigue after the effects of the adrenaline wore off.
Naturally, it was impossible for them to drive back to Asahigaoka for more than an hour.
They were planning to make do in the school's infirmary for one night tonight and leave tomorrow after they had recovered their spirits.
After refusing Miyauchi Hikage and the others' offer to help, Hiiragi Inori waved her hand at them. "You guys should go and rest. There are still a lot of things to clean up tomorrow."
At first, Itou Kaiji patted his chest and said that he had no problem now.
But after entering the infirmary, he was still bragging to Miyauchi Hikage one moment, but as soon as he had tidied up and lay down on the bed, and his head had just touched the pillow, in the next moment, he was already letting out a faint snore on the bed.
Seeing Itou Kaiji sleeping so soundly, Miyauchi Hikage shook his head, and then took out his diary in the darkness.
Then, from his own diary, he pulled out the gray diary with Kanoe Yuuko's name on it.
Now it was time to see how the shadow Yuuko felt being sealed in his diary.
