Yuuki Itadori turned his head to look at Yuuki, who was staring at his phone, and the other two looked over with curiosity after hearing this, and they wanted to see how the second-year senpai would handle this kind of mission.
[Famous Haunted Spots in Sendai City]
[Answer: The Eighty-Eight Bridge Bungee Jumping Incident.]
"What are you searching for that for? Yuuki-senpai, aren't we going to go to the school next?"
Itadori asked with some confusion.
"Oh!"
Kugisaki Nobara, who was on the side, looked at Itadori, who had a dumb expression, and she knocked his head forcefully and said, "Haunted, you idiot, aren't the haunted events in the eyes of normal people caused by curses?"
"Eh, that's right."
Itadori, who had reacted, touched his head, which had been hit; "Doesn't that mean that the cursed spirit is there?"
"You shouldn't come to a conclusion so quickly, Itadori, and Yuuki-senpai might just be taking a look ahead of time to make things easier for the events to unfold later."
Himura Mafuyu had just finished speaking when she received Yuuki's encouragement; "You guessed right, and after all, there's no difference between the haunted events and curses in the mouths of non-sorcerers, and this Eighty-Eight Bridge is a famous suicide spot nearby, and the little delinquents of the past seemed to hold bungee jumping there late at night, and it was called a courage testing event."
"Uh… what a bunch of idiots, and they'd just take a rope and go bungee jumping?"
Itadori Yuji complained, "I hadn't expected that there would actually be people who are even dumber than me."
"But, if the cursed spirit is there, shouldn't it have already been discovered? After all, these kinds of haunted spots are the same as schools, and Jujutsu High should have people, who go to patrol them regularly according to reason, right?"
Kugisaki Nobara asked with some confusion, and although she had only joined Jujutsu High this year, she had been exorcising curses ever since she had obtained her technique, and she naturally knew more or less about these things.
"We wouldn't know about that, and that so-called patrol is just going through the motions, and normally speaking, cursed spirits, who are being controlled by desire, will actively attack humans, who are invading their territory; but another possibility… is that the cursed spirit is very smart, and it possesses a way of thinking that surpasses ordinary people, and it knows how to hide."
Yuuki simply gave two examples, and he also caused the difficulty of this seemingly simple mission to increase, and after all, running into a cursed spirit, who had a super high IQ, was rarer than running into a contemporary celebrity on the street;
Ruling out celebrity fans intentionally trying to get close to them.
"Then should we go to the Eighty-Eight Bridge directly?"
Itadori Yuji asked with confusion.
"You should follow the process! You idiot, and this was said by Yuuki-senpai, and not us, and we should go to that school to investigate first."
Kugisaki Nobara said with disappointment, and this guy was only good at fighting, and his EQ wasn't too high on the contrary, and he had forgotten what Yuuki-senpai had said before directly, and Yuuki-senpai wouldn't interfere directly during this mission, and what they did was all up to them.
"Yes, yes, and I'm really sorry that my IQ is low."
Itadori Yuji stuck out his tongue, and then he pulled open the car door and sat inside.
"It's that your EQ is low, and your ability to react to things is too slow."
Kugisaki Nobara also pulled open the car door and sat inside after she had finished speaking.
"Hehe."
Himura Mafuyu smiled, and he also followed and sat inside.
"Let's go, and there's still some time until it gets dark, and we should go to that school and take a look first, and hopefully we can get some useful information."
Yuuki sat in the passenger seat, and he revealed a faint smile while looking at the three people, who were sitting in the back, in the rearview mirror.
"Mm."
"Clunk!"
The car door was closed, and Nitta Akari drove towards Urami East Middle School.
[11:30:20]
The black sedan stopped at the entrance of the school, and the group got out of the car, and Nitta Akari took out the school entrance permit and walked inside.
The group ran into an old man, who had a head full of white hair and was wearing a navy blue tracksuit, the moment they had walked inside.
"You guys are?"
The old man adjusted his glasses, and he looked with confusion at the five people, who had walked in from the school gate.
"We're from Jujutsu High, and we're responsible for investigating the mysterious deaths of Kaneda Taichi and the others, and I had greeted your school a few days ago, and do you have any impression?"
Nitta Akari took out her proof and said.
"Jujutsu High… oh, so it's you guys, and everyone is so young."
The old man remembered this matter, and his expression also became lost, and it seemed that he was reminiscing about the students, who had died.
The group exchanged a glance after seeing the old man's expression, and they felt that this person was promising, and Himura Mafuyu walked forward and asked, "May I ask, what is your relationship with the deceased?"
"I… I was their teacher."
The old man said slowly, "I've also heard about the events of Kaneda, Shimada, Yamato, and Mori yesterday, and after all, this place is just so big, and it's impossible to not hear about them…
Although they had graduated almost twenty years ago, it still seems like yesterday to me, because they were all problem children, and they used to give me a headache too, and what is it that you want to know?"
"We want to know, did they ever go to that Eighty-Eight Bridge? Like suddenly disappearing or something mysterious…"
Itadori Yuji also wanted to be smart this time, and he asked directly at the key point based on the information that Yuuki-senpai had prompted before.
"Oh, and you've actually become smarter!"
This outrageous statement had immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Itadori also wiped his nose and hummed softly, and he was enjoying the gazes that were being cast on him, and it seemed that he was saying: 'This is my true level'.
"Eighty-Eight Bridge… oh, are you guys talking about the thing, where delinquents used to hold bungee jumping at the Eighty-Eight Bridge late at night, which was popular back then?"
The old man, who had been pondering for a moment, realized and said, "That's right, and there had indeed been a disappearance case there, but it wasn't them, and it was other students;
There were four students, who had been absent from school for no reason, and of course, this wasn't something that had happened once, and it wasn't anything rare. The school contacted the families of the students, who hadn't attended class, and their families said that they hadn't returned home the night before.
It had caused a big commotion back then, but they had been found lying under the bridge quickly. And then there was naturally a round of lectures, but they had all insisted that they couldn't remember anything.
That's all I know, and I don't know if it'll be of any help to you guys."
"I understand, and thank you, grandpa."
The three exchanged a glance, and they were even more certain about where the enemy was at this moment.
"Let's go, and it seems that we've already pinpointed the enemy's location, and we should exorcise it earlier, and then we should take the money and go buy some nice clothes."
Kugisaki Nobara had just finished speaking when she was questioned by Itadori Yuji, "Huh? Didn't you just finish buying clothes last week? And you're buying them again now? Can the closet in the room even fit them?"
"It's none of your business, and I just like to make myself pretty, and I'll never think that I have too many pretty clothes, and it's my business whether they can fit or not."
Kugisaki Nobara kicked the guy, who had talked too much, in one go.
"Then we should go and buy clothes together after this is over, and it'll be autumn soon, and we should prepare our clothes in advance."
Himura Mafuyu said with a gentle expression, but the black backpack, which was behind her, was so eye-catching, and the gold chain, which had been covered by her clothes, was revealing one side, and she cast a sidelong glance at Yuuki, who was silent on the side, and her face was somewhat red.
It was her first time carrying out a mission with her senpai, and she had to perform well this time.
"Since you guys have already investigated clearly, then that also proves that you don't need me, and you should just give me a call if there's anything, and I'll cooperate with you with all of my strength."
Nitta Akari, who had seen that things had entered the right track this quickly, also heaved a sigh of relief, and she wouldn't have to run around all over the place, and investigating the information for this thing had almost exhausted her, and she also felt a sense of accomplishment because things had progressed this quickly now, and after all, she had written those pieces of information out one by one.
"Mm, oh, that's right, how has Junpei been recently? I haven't seen him since the Okinawa incident last time."
Itadori Yuji, who had been preparing to leave, asked about Yoshino Junpei.
"Him, and he's currently following Ijichi to investigate other missions, and anyway, I've been hearing him complain recently that that mission is too troublesome, and his legs are about to break from running, and they're probably suffering together right now."
"Is that so, then thank you, and I'll see you tonight!"
"Mm, and I'll be picking you guys up near the Eighty-Eight Bridge."
Nitta Akari, who was watching the group leave, was also going to enjoy this rare time to rest, and they, these assistant supervisors, would have to run until their legs broke once a mysterious death incident occurred, and they would have to provide reliable information for the jujutsu sorcerers to help them exorcise the cursed spirits.
But as far as things were concerned at this moment, it was very worthwhile, and after all, hard work was always rewarded, and the information that she had provided had also saved the lives of the jujutsu sorcerers, and it was already enough that she could continue to cooperate with them in the future.
"Mm~, I should go and rest."
Nitta Akari stretched, and she started to plan where she should go to play during this rare time.
...
"What do you say, brother? Is it here?"
Koinokuchi Gorge, under the Eighty-Eight Bridge.
Kechizu, who was walking on the gravel road, looked at Eso, who was on the side.
"I can sense it, and it's indeed here, but that thing seems to have hidden itself, and we should just come over again at night, younger brother."
Eso, who was wearing a black bodysuit, looked around, and other than that Eighty-Eight Bridge, which was high above, he wasn't worried about being seen by people because it was being covered by the dense trees, and there was a flowing stream other than the gravel on the ground, but the stream's water flow was very small, and it couldn't even submerge the gravel, and it seemed that it would run dry at any time.
And there was also this saying that was circulating in the jujutsu world;
"At night, entering from under the bridge, and there's also one thing, there should be a river at the bottom of the gorge, and the act of crossing the river and the boundary line to arrive at the other side has an important jujutsu meaning."
Although he didn't know who had spread it, that river was very likely this one, and he had confirmed that they could only see the cursed spirit, who had taken the Special Grade cursed object Ryomen Sukuna's finger, by crossing this river at a certain time because of the events, which were circulating here.
"Let's go, younger brother, and we should report the situation to our older brother, and we'll come over again at night."
Eso touched the water, which was flowing in the stream, and then he got up and left.
"Alright, brother."
[21:09:54]
At night, under the silent bridge, the place, where crickets should have been chirping and mosquitoes should have been swarming, was like a no-man's land at this moment, and it was deathly silent…
The silvery-white moon was illuminating the sky, and Yuuki was sitting on top of the Eighty-Eight Bridge, and the sage marks were appearing on his face, and a pair of scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan were rotating slowly, and he was staring intently at every move under the bridge;
The silvery-white moonlight was illuminating the young man, who had a backpack on his back, and he had the aura of a young swordsman.
"An invisible domain, which is hidden on the other side of the stream huh…"
Itadori and the others had arrived at the bottom of the bridge at this moment;
"It can basically be confirmed that it's here."
Itadori Yuji had sensed the strangeness keenly, and this place was surrounded by trees, and there should have been bugs flying all over the sky according to reason, but at this moment…
"Mm."
Kugisaki Nobara silently took out the hammer, which had been placed behind her, and three nails were wrapped in blue cursed energy, and she had already prepared to fight at any time.
"Then we should go and exorcise it."
