Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 224 Meeting the Enemy
A moment later, the car moved away from the city. There were fewer and fewer houses on both sides of the road, more trees around, and the terrain gradually rose. A continuous mountain range appeared in everyone's sight.

As the car drove deeper into the mountain, the air around it gradually became gloomy and a layer of cold dew formed on the car windows.

Reincarnationists who possess negative energy can sense the cursed power in the air and those cursed spirits that are invisible to the naked eye.

Reincarnationists without negative energy can also use their powerful five senses to identify traces of cursed spirits in the air.

Of course, it is more convenient to use special glasses.

Cursed spirits of all sizes appeared in every corner visible or invisible to the public. Their bodies were difficult to describe in words, as if they were made by randomly splicing together organs from various creatures. From rock walls to woods to mountain roads and wastelands, these inhuman monsters could be seen everywhere, and there were no less than a thousand of them.

There are more than just curse spirits among them. Wen Lie, who does not use special glasses and does not have negative energy to change his perspective, can use his keen eyesight to distinguish the modified humans whose appearances are as strange as the curse spirits, and they account for one third of the number.

However, there is no point in distinguishing these. No matter what they are, they must be killed.

"many."

Yuji Itadori was startled. He looked around and the cursed spirits blocking them were like a dense swarm of bees, as if they had poked a hornet's nest.

This number of enemies, even if they are all only level three, is very deadly.

Kugisaki Nobara took out a hammer and nails and said confidently, "No matter what it is, once there are enough of them, they will become mere scum. There's no need to be alarmed."

Megumi Fushiguro said nothing. He looked at the cursed spirits around him, his face turned grim, and what happened a year ago flashed through his mind.

The scar on Angehime's face twisted like a centipede.

"Don't be too careless! Many of Gojo's students, including new sorcerers, have lost their lives because of underestimating their enemies."

Her tone was very anxious and her face showed uneasiness.

"However, in the current situation, the key point is no longer whether to underestimate the enemy... Fushiguro Megumi, did Gojo Satoru really kill Geto Suguru a year ago?"

Angehime looked at Fushiguro Megumi with a serious attitude, no, it was even stern.

Fushiguro Megumi was silent for a moment before shaking her head: "...I don't know...but if it's Gojo-sensei, I wouldn't be surprised no matter what he does."

Angeji held her head and said angrily, "What on earth is Gojo thinking?"

Nobara Kugisaki and Yuji Itadori looked at Iori Utaha strangely. It was not surprising that Iori Utaha always got angry at Gojo Sensei.

However, her attitude on this occasion seemed to imply that the traitor incident was also related to Gojo Sensei.

Megumi Fushiguro noticed the confusion of his two classmates and calmly explained, "A gathering of cursed spirits of this magnitude couldn't have occurred naturally. Ordinary cursed spirits lack intelligence and won't obey the commands of special-grade cursed spirits. There's only one way to gather hundreds of them: Curse Spirit Manipulation. This technique allows you to manipulate subdued cursed spirits for your own use."

Kugisaki Nobara asked in surprise, "So, the traitor, or the mastermind behind colluding with and even controlling the special-grade cursed spirits, is actually a sorcerer you know?"

"My apprentice, former special-grade sorcerer, current special-grade curse caster, who killed 112 ordinary people and their parents and rebelled against the Jujutsu High School, Geto Suguru."

An Geji nodded. She looked at the cursed spirits around her with an extremely heavy expression.

Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki were shocked.

In the 21st century, killing three or five people is already a major case that shocks the whole country. There is actually a sorcerer who killed so many people, not even sparing their parents.

"How insane! How come Gojo-sensei never mentioned such a dangerous character to us... Wait!" Kugisaki Nobara had just asked when a question suddenly occurred to her, "Iori-sensei's junior? I heard that Iori-sensei was a student at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, only one year older than Gojo-sensei."

Itadori Yuji also realized what was happening. He opened his eyes wide and asked, "So, Geto Suguru is a classmate of Gojo-sensei?"

"Suguru Geto is not only Gojo Satoru's contemporary, but also Gojo Satoru's only close friend... No, it's not an exaggeration to say he's his only friend."

Wen Lie answered on behalf of An Geji.

He remembered the relationship chart that Jiji Xiaoxiao had posted. Lian Jiaru Nozomi was just a classmate of Gojo Satoru and was not even a friend.

"Only friend? That's heavy."

Nobara Kugisaki felt creepy. They were not lovers, but friends and close friends. How could there be only one such relationship?
"But it's hard for anyone to tolerate someone like Gojo-sensei and become friends with me, right? That Geto Suguru could even tolerate Gojo-sensei, so why did he become a curse-caster?"

An Geji said unhappily: "Don't look down on that guy. Those two guys have extremely bad personalities and never respect their seniors. In that class, except for Naoko, they were all scum."

Yuji Itadori scratched his hair and couldn't help saying, "Iori-sensei is so prejudiced against Gojo-sensei. I think Gojo-sensei is a very good person. He only has one friend... I think Gojo-sensei must be very lonely, right? Because he is the strongest, no one can stand with him and understand his feelings." Iori put her hands on her hips and sneered, "Lonely? Gojo Satoru? How could that guy be so sentimental?"

Kugisaki Nobara also complained: "I can't see that Gojo-sensei is lonely at all. Although he has a handsome face, he is actually a childish guy. How can such a person feel lonely?"

Ange agreed, "That guy has always been a childish kid, and he hasn't changed."

Nobara Kugisaki and Utahime An started complaining about Gojo Satoru together, and Megumi Fushiguro seemed to agree. Yuji Itadori was alone and could only bring the topic back on track.

"Then why did Geto Suguru defect? ​​Why didn't Gojo Satoru mention Geto Suguru to us?"

"Because Geto Suguru is dead..." Wen Lie had just said that when he remembered that the East China Sea team had experienced Jujutsu Kaisen 0. He turned to Liu Qiang and asked, "He's dead, right?"

Since the Tokai team has experienced Jujutsu Kaisen 0, they should have a chance to change the plot.

Liu Qiang answered seriously, "Xiaoyou Jie is indeed dead. We weren't strong enough at the time, so we could only play bystander on the edge of the battlefield and couldn't change anything."

For the East China Sea team at that time, the special-grade cursed spirit was the upper limit of the enemy they could deal with. Not to mention Noose, even Rimei could defeat the East China Sea team.

Of course, the captain also wanted to keep the plot unchanged at that time. As long as the plot did not change, the initiative would be in their hands.

If Mirai wants to stand on Nozomi's side, then the best thing to do is to say nothing. If Mirai wants to stand on Gojo Satoru's side, then reminding Gojo Satoru will cause Nozomi's plan to fail.

If that’s the case, why create variables?
After confirming that the plot of Geto Suguru's death had not changed, Wen Lie continued to explain to Yuji Itadori: "A year ago, on December 2017, 12, Geto Suguru released thousands of cursed spirits in Tokyo and Kyoto, and ordered them to be killed. This terrorist attack was called the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. At the end of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, Otsutsuki Yuta severely injured Geto Suguru, and the escaping Geto Suguru was killed by Gojo Satoru himself."

"If Geto Suguru is dead, what's with all these cursed spirits here? Is there anyone else in the world of curses who uses cursed spirit manipulation techniques? No way? Gojo-sensei..."

Nobara Kugisaki couldn't help but doubt Gojo Satoru.

In fact, except for those who know the inside story and Yuji Itadori, anyone who sees Geto Suguru's cursed spirit manipulation technique will suspect whether Gojo Satoru secretly let Geto Suguru go. After all, the friendship between the two is obvious to all.

"Let's not worry about that for now. Whether or not Geto Suguru is the mastermind behind this will become clear once we capture Mechamaru."

Liu Qiang, who knew the inside story well, didn't intend to waste time on this topic.

"Do it!"

Before he finished speaking, blazing flames erupted from Liu Qiang's hands, rising and wrapping around his forearms.

A few sparks flew from the corners of her eyes, and like a rocket launching, she rushed forward quickly, crossed the two-hundred-meter-long mountain road in a second, and broke into the space between the cursed spirits and the transformed humans.

Liu Qiang's body brushed past several cursed spirits, and the flames were like high-explosive grenades exploding at close range, blowing the cursed spirits into pieces.

She punched and kicked, and each blow was accompanied by raging flames. Ordinary cursed spirits and modified humans could not withstand it at all.

Although I don’t know how many tricks he has hidden, his level is indeed not bad.

Mikami took out a pistol slowly. The shape of the pistol was different from the common styles, and it did not look like a Gauss pistol or a laser gun.

Zhao Yingkong took a look, a flash of blood in his pupils, and found that the pistol was an energy body.

Mikami pulled the trigger, but what came out were real bullets. The bullets hit the cursed spirit, causing a grenade-like explosion, killing the cursed spirit.

Ninoyu did not stand idly by. He touched the mark on his arm, white smoke rose, and a huge fan appeared beside him.

"Wind Style: Hanging Net!"

Ninoyu unfolded a huge paper fan and waved it forward with force. A large area of ​​strong wind like a laser net whizzed past, cutting the body of the cyborg into hundreds of small pieces.

The three members of the Tokai team actively displayed their skills and did not show any fear in front of the Nakasu team, while Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki also joined the battle one after another.

These people are all very capable. At the very least, they are at the level of a second-level sorcerer. They can fight against first-level cursed spirits and destroy more than a dozen cursed spirits in one encounter.

However, the cursed spirits left here by Nozomi are not all small fry as Kugisaki Nobara said.

Although most of them are third-level curse spirits, the proportion of second-level curse spirits is no less than 30%, and there are dozens of first-level curse spirits.

The powerful curse spirits mixed in with the weak curse spirits and attacked Liu Qiang and others. If there were only these six people, they would not even have a chance to escape in the end.
