Yuuki ate the cake and wandered around, and had to say that the things that these big men bought were pretty delicious.
A fruit cake, were they looking down on him?
After wandering around for a full half hour, Yuuki locked the place of the final battle on a cemetery.
Although it was a little unethical to fight on other people's graves, there was no other way.
Touching the ring at this moment wouldn't cause the cursed spirit to react, but it would be more difficult to take the ring off Oto Mi's hand, and if the movement was too loud, it might cause the cursed spirit, who was sleeping, to wake up.
It wouldn't be fun then, and there was only this one chance. After all, he wasn't a pervert, and he wouldn't do a night raid every day.
As for the key, it wasn't difficult to make either, and he had already recorded the model with the Sharingan.
He could carve it out with a slightly sturdy piece of wood, and with all the prerequisites ready, the next step was to familiarize himself with the route.
Yuuki took out his phone, opened the map and looked at it. This place was three kilometers away from the villa, and the location was remote.
If he used cursed energy to run at full speed, it would take about eight minutes.
After all, the streets were complicated, and it was impossible to go directly through the houses in a straight line.
Eight minutes…
To be honest, it was a little long. It would be fine if the cursed spirit didn't go berserk during this time, but if it did, then it would be terrible.
If it really didn't work, then he would have to find another place.
It was really killing him.
Wait… what the hell was this place?
Yuuki looked at the black dot on the phone map, and then zoomed in on it. There was actually an unfinished building two kilometers west of the villa.
Although he didn't know what the hell it was, the west was also like this southern corner of his, which was close to the mountains and forests.
He had never run in these two directions with Oto Mi when he was taking a walk.
After all, he was thinking about how to become familiar with the cursed spirit in the ring, or accompanying those people to train, so who had time to go out and wander around alone.
"I'll go take a look."
Yuuki memorized the route and then turned off his phone, and walked towards the destination.
Fifteen minutes later, Yuuki arrived next to this unfinished building. There was a blue sign next to the gate, which read:
[Construction is not completed, entry is prohibited, if you are injured, you are responsible for the consequences.]
Yuuki just glanced at it, and then walked directly in.
There were a total of four three-story buildings built inside, and they had only built the framework of the buildings but hadn't painted or decorated them.
There was also a foundation similar to a swimming pool.
He didn't know how long this place had been abandoned, but the grass on the ground was already one meter high.
Perhaps some rich person was planning to come here to retire, but suddenly didn't want to live here anymore.
Anyway, no matter what, this place was more suitable than the cemetery just now.
Moreover, he didn't have to go around any complicated roads to get here, and there was a main road that directly passed through.
It was close to two kilometers, and it would take two or three minutes at the fastest, which was much better than the previous one.
"This place will do, I can also help the owner clean up the weeds on the ground, it's just that it might ruin some of the buildings, but it doesn't matter anymore, as long as no one dies."
Yuuki said with admiration.
Although he didn't know what the principle was behind the cursed spirit's body being in a mist-like state, or what kind of technique it was, it was impossible to change the fact that the curse itself was formed by cursed energy.
Since it couldn't, then the moves formed by cursed energy would cause damage to it.
This battle would be a 46 split, him 4 and the cursed spirit 6.
After learning from Shuuichi-sensei for 14 days, his reaction and his way of thinking had been completely changed. Taijutsu might be ineffective, but it was already enough.
After all, the initial intention of learning taijutsu wasn't to deal with this kind of cursed spirit, but to deal with Todo Aoi. The game between jujutsu sorcerers was far more dangerous than cursed spirits.
Except for those special-grade cursed spirits with intelligence. If he encountered those, he probably wouldn't even be able to run away.
Not to mention playing games, he would be fighting wits and courage with the air.
Yuuki walked around this abandoned villa twice to familiarize himself with the terrain, and then left directly.
It was almost 6:50 now, and Oto Mi should be awake.
Anyway, he was still her bodyguard today, and after completing the mission, he could go to the director to get his 10 million yen reward.
How wonderful.
10 million yen, if it was exchanged for RMB in his previous life, it would be an unimaginable number, and he felt that he could live a life of eating and drinking for more than ten years.
Although he couldn't buy a house, he could rent a house, and then live a carefree and carefree life of letting things be.
The current situation of contemporary young people was that they would let things be as much as possible, not marry and have children, and have the open-minded idea of adopting one in the future.
Or they would work as hard as possible, and not stop until they had burned you out, which was their noble idea.
Yuuki belonged to the second type at this moment, and he might start letting things be next year, and live the life of a cook who cooked every day and had no worries about food and clothing.
But no matter what, he had to get himself to the special-grade position this year. Not to mention being on par with Gojo Satoru, he had to at least catch up with Okkotsu Yuta.
Perhaps for them, being able to be promoted to special grade was a sure thing, but for Yuuki, he could only desperately complete system missions to improve his strength.
He didn't have a technique inheritance, his taijutsu relied entirely on copying, the Sharingan consumed cursed energy extremely quickly, his body was weak, and his cursed energy was pitifully low, a bunch of shortcomings.
His brain might be somewhat clever, but he couldn't survive with just that.
There was still more than a month before the exchange event, and he had to work even harder during this time, otherwise the system would release a mission to defeat Todo Aoi alone.
Heh… It really treated him like a person.
Back in the courtyard, Yuuki stood outside Oto Mi's room as usual, waiting until 7 o'clock.
Kazekoshi Shiko came over wearing a maid outfit, smiled at Yuuki, who was standing at the door, and took out a string of necklaces from her pocket and said, Today is the last day, right?
This necklace was woven by me personally, and if you come back to play without wearing this bracelet, I won't let you in.
Yuuki accepted it directly when he saw this, and said, "I also have a gift for Shiko-nee, but you have to wait until tonight."
"Then I'm really looking forward to it."
Kazekoshi Shiko rubbed Yuuki's hair, took a deep breath and then knocked on the door three times gently, and said, "It's already seven o'clock, Miss."
"Come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kazekoshi Shiko took out the key and opened the door, and led Yuuki in.
"Today is the last day, and to be honest, I'm a little reluctant to part with you, Yuuki-otouto. Do you want to come over and sleep together tonight?"
Oto Mi was wearing pink pajamas and sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, and looked at Yuuki with a smile on her face.
"No… no need, I can still sleep by myself."
Yuuki quickly declined. Although she was indeed very beautiful, he couldn't do what he couldn't do.
His body was also in the development stage, and it would be very awkward to sleep too close, after all, he wasn't some gentleman.
"Eh, that's a pity. If you want to come over and play with me, otouto, then call me at any time, and I'll drive to pick you up."
As soon as Oto Mi finished speaking, a cloud of black smoke floated out from the ring, forming the shape of a female human, stretched, and seemed to have just woken up.
Then, it hugged Oto Mi tightly, and stroked her beautiful hair with its right hand.
Yuuki saw all of this, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
His mind would often float with the thought of if his own mother was like this, would he let others exorcise her?
This kind of thought.
Although he had thought about it like this, he had rejected it, after all, he had deliberately approached them in order to exorcise the cursed spirit, and he shouldn't mix too much emotion into the mission.
Since he was going to do it, he had to finish it. What kind of ghost was doing it halfway… was he kind-hearted?
If he had to say it, his heart was cold, anyway, he had thought about it like this many times.
…
Night arrived.
"Good evening, Vice-Captain Luo!"
Mm, good. These are for the two of you, special weighted rings, and I almost died carrying them all the way here.
Even if you're still the weakest now, don't be discouraged, and burn them to death as soon as possible.
Yuuki was holding large and small bags in his hands at this moment, and was also carrying the backpack that he had come with on his back.
He had gone out at 6:30 and shopped for more than an hour to buy these, and although some were expensive and some were not, they were all carefully selected by him, and everyone could use them.
"Okay! Thank you, Vice-Captain!"
Gako and Tora looked at the packages that Yuuki had handed over, and took them with tears in their eyes. It was the first time they had received a decent gift in this year of being a soldier.
"Okay, you're welcome. If you want to thank me, then just report that you're safe to me every year, I'm going to give gifts to the others, goodbye."
Yuuki waved his hand and left directly, and distributed the gifts to the people on guard one by one, even those who were on break after changing shifts were the same.
After distributing them to the end, he only had three packages left in his hands, and these were gifts for Ito Shuuichi, Kazekoshi Shiko, and Oto Mi.
Anyway, he wouldn't wait until tomorrow morning to leave. He would exorcise the cursed spirit tonight, return the ring, and then leave directly.
He had already given the gifts, and if he didn't leave, then there would be a sense of sadness, after all, they had treated him especially well.
Walking through the intricate paths, he came to the small house. The iron door was open, and a shadow was swinging its fists quickly under the yellow light, and the sound of "dong dong dong" was still so steady.
Yuuki walked into the iron door, and before he could speak, he was scolded by Ito Shuuichi, "Didn't I tell you, you rascal, to not come over tonight? I've taught you everything that I should teach you, so hurry up and get lost."
Faced with this kind of scolding, Yuuki didn't say anything, but put the gift that he had bought on the table, bowed, and then left.
A moment later, the sound of "dong dong dong" could be heard from the small house again, as if no one had ever been there.
Yuuki also left directly. His heart had arrived, and sometimes he didn't say anything, but the actions he took represented everything.
Then there was Shiko-nee's gift. He came to the door, knocked a few times gently, and said, "Shiko-nee, your gift has arrived."
"Coming."
Kazekoshi Shiko opened the door, and was wearing a set of black and white loose pajamas at this moment, and her eyes were staring straight at Yuuki, and said, "You kid, you're planning to run away tonight, right."
"This…"
Yuuki touched his head, and said with some difficulty, "I've come to say goodbye to you, nee-san, thank you very much for taking care of me these past few days, I'll miss you, this is a necklace that I bought for you, Shiko-nee."
"Thank you, come find me to play when you have time, and I'll take you to my house then."
Kazekoshi Shiko touched Yuuki's head, and then took the gift down, and continued, "Do you want me to give you the key to Miss's room, so that you can do a surprise attack? Or put the gift in and then leave silently?"
"No need, I can just climb in through the window, Shiko-nee, you should go to sleep early too, good night."
After Yuuki finished speaking, he bowed and left.
"But I've locked the windows. Forget it, anyway, this kid has a way to get in, I don't care."
Kazekoshi Shiko looked at Yuuki's leaving figure, which disappeared straight away, and then closed the door.
Yuuki didn't rush to go to Oto Mi's room, but roamed around the courtyard, looking for a suitable piece of wood to carve a key, until 12 o'clock at night.
Yuuki came to Oto Mi's door with the 1:1 replica of the wooden key, and felt the calm cursed energy inside. Only after confirming that the cursed spirit was asleep did he slowly insert the key.
He didn't know if it was because he had a guilty conscience, but the sound made by each point that the key was inserted made Yuuki's heart skip a beat.
Although he knew that the sound was very small and wouldn't disturb her, it was no different from an alarm clock in his ears.
"Click—"
The door opened, Yuuki took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open and peeked inside, and then tiptoed in, making his figure lower than the bed to feel safe.
Crawling to the side of the bed, he slowly poked his head out and looked at Oto Mi's sleeping profile, swallowed, and just stayed there for a full minute.
Only after thinking that it was safe enough did he slowly get up, and look at the ring on her left hand.
Although he had touched it many times, he didn't know how to start at this moment.
Being a thief really tested his psychology, and he really admired those thieves who treated other people's houses as their own while the owners were sleeping at home, their hearts were really big.
Yuuki gently lifted her left hand, and then gently took off the ring on her index finger.
His left hand, which was holding the ring, didn't tremble at all during the whole process, and the cursed spirit inside didn't react at all.
Until the ring was completely taken off, Yuuki's taut heart relaxed, and his left hand maintained the pinched posture, not daring to let the ring shake too much. He tiptoed out of the room just like that.
The door wasn't closed, and he still had to open it when he came back later, and he didn't want to do this a second time.
Now he just needed to arrive at that abandoned building safely.
