A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

"I'll roast him well-done with a smile then."

"What you said..." The nurse felt ashamed when she heard it.

But it seems that the boy in front of him does not need comfort.

"You are Xuanhao, right?"

Just as Xuanhao was signing, a voice came from the side.

"I'm Fushiguro from the High School of Curse Arts. Sorry, time is running out. The special-grade cursed item you hold is extremely dangerous. Give it to me now."

"Special grade cursed item?" The nurse beside him didn't understand at all.

Xuanhao was also a little confused.

"Look at the atmosphere. I'm in mourning."

"You have this, right?" Seeing that Xuanhao didn't understand, Fushiguro Megumi took out her cell phone and continued to explain.

"Ok?"

Xuanhao looked at the picture on the phone screen and nodded slightly, "Yes, I found it."

"Then give it to me quickly." Fushiguro Megumi breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"I don't mind, but the seniors seem to like this thing very much." Xuanhao said puzzledly, "I can't tell what kind of useful thing it is. Even if you want to take it away, you have to explain the reason, right?"

"..."

Fushiguro Megumi fell silent.

He took Xuanhao to the side and began to explain.

"The number of unnatural deaths and disappearances in Japan is an average of more than 10000 people per year. Most of them are caused by the negative emotions released by humans - the 'curse'."

"Curse?" Xuan Hao scratched his head.

When he came here, he did feel some force flowing in the air, but he didn't feel it was a big deal. Anyway, it had no effect on him.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." Fushiguro Megumi said impatiently, "I'll continue."

"Places like schools and hospitals that carry a lot of memories are prone to accumulating curses."

"Bitterness, regret, shame, whenever humans awaken these memories, these places will become containers of emotions, so most schools will place cursed objects to ward off evil spirits. That's what you picked up."

"Exorcise evil spirits?" Xuan Hao became more and more confused as he listened. "Isn't it good? Where is the danger?"

"The word 'exorcism' does sound good..." Fushiguro Megumi said helplessly, "but it actually means using more evil curses to deter other curses. It's a bad habit of fighting poison with poison."

"Over the years, the seal on the cursed object has gradually weakened, and now it has become bait that attracts the curse."

"And the items placed in your school are classified as high-risk items that are classified as special-grade cursed items."

"Give it to me now before anyone is killed."

"I've already said that I don't care..." Xuanhao explained with a headache, "But this thing is not in my hand, you have to ask the senior."

As he said that, Xuan Hao threw a box to Fushiguro Megumi.

"!!"

After Fushiguro Megumi opened the box, her pupils shrank sharply.

empty.

  He tracked it all the way here, and it turned out to be the remnant of cursed power attached to the box! !

"Where are the things inside!?"

Fushiguro Megumi suddenly became excited.

"I already told you it's with the senior." Xuanhao replied.

"Where is his home?" Fushiguro Megumi asked again.

"I don't know, it seems to be in the spring area..."

Halfway through his speech, Xuan Hao frowned and stopped.

"What's wrong?" This time it was Fushiguro Megumi's turn to be confused.

"So, they said they would uncover the curse on that thing at school tonight." Xuan Hao suddenly remembered.

He thought this thing didn't seem to be that powerful, so he didn't take it seriously.

But now after hearing what Fushiguro Megumi said, maybe that thing is indeed very dangerous for ordinary people.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Fushiguro Megumi's face looked like she was constipated.

"Uh... is there something wrong?"

"It's more than bad... they will die." Megumi Fushiguro covered her face with her hands, her expression gloomy.

  ···········

night.

School, activity room of the Psychic Phenomenon Research Society.

Two students, a boy and a girl, were fiddling with the objects in their hands curiously.

"I can't open it~" The girl tried to open the sealed talisman paper.

The boy looked on speechlessly, puzzled: "Why did you have to sneak into the school to dismantle it?"

"Idiot, this kind of thing requires atmosphere!"

The girl retorted.

Obviously, they, like Xuanhao, are the type who do not believe in ghosts and gods, but are full of curiosity about these things.

"I know nothing will happen, so I want a more exciting environment, hehe~"

"It's been taken apart! It's been taken apart!"

The girl shouted excitedly.

But soon, she screamed again.

"What's wrong?" the boy asked in confusion.

"It's just... a human finger?" The girl looked at the thing in her hand, a little unbelievable, "Is it real?"

"It should be just a replica, right?" The boy broke out in sweat on his forehead.

  ···········

"Can the talisman be peeled off so easily?"

Xuanhao and Fushiguro Megumi ran towards the school together.

"No, people without cursed powers can't do that, normally speaking!"

Fushiguro Megumi replied, "But this time the contents are too powerful, and the seal has lost its effect over the years, making it no different from waste paper!"

"..."

Xuanhao felt a little embarrassed after listening to this.

Although Fushiguro Megumi said it so seriously, he still had no idea about the "curse", thinking that it was just a fancy and useless thing like a cursed doll, so he even felt that Fushiguro Megumi was making a big deal out of nothing. Or was this boy a chuunibyou?

However, the moment he approached the school, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure that he didn't feel in his daily life.

It was a chilling feeling of oppression that made one's spine shiver.

"You stay here."

After stopping, Fushiguro Megumi's expression became extremely solemn.

"Where is the activity room?"

He seemed to be planning to go into the school alone.

"Wait! I'm going too! The situation is not good, right?" Xuan Hao said, "Although we have only known each other for two months, they are my friends. I can't just stand by and watch."

"You stay here."

Fushiguro Megumi's face was extremely gloomy, and he spoke again.

In his opinion, Xuanhao was just an ordinary person who was a little stronger.

  ···········

"what time is it now?"

"The short needle is... eleven..."

A hoarse voice echoed in the corridor of the teaching building. A strange creature was wandering in the corridor, asking and answering questions to itself as if talking to itself.

In the corner, the girl who had just opened the seal was trembling.

I wondered what that monster was.

Just then, a figure walked towards her.

She was startled, but when she found the figure familiar, she immediately recognized it as the boy she had been with just now.

"Great! Wellhead! Where are you going——"

However, before she could finish her question.

The boy came closer.

"save……"

She saw the boy's face clearly at this moment. It was no longer a human face. Instead, his brain was covered by some hideous creature. There were countless eyes staring at her, which made her feel creepy.

“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo——”

The shouts echoed throughout the teaching building.

Fushiguro Megumi, who was heading towards the activity room, stopped and changed direction: "Damn it! Have they left the activity room? If so, those two people are probably in danger..."

He quickened his pace.

The breath I felt became stronger and stronger.

Turn the corner.

A ferocious cursed spirit stood in front of him.

But this was just an ordinary cursed spirit attracted by the cursed object.

"In the way!"

Fushiguro Megumi spoke impatiently while making seals with his hands.

"Jade Dog." Two wolf figures, one black and one white, emerged from his shadow.

"Eat them."

Fushiguro Megumi gave the order with cold eyes.

Then two wolf figures rushed out.

  ···········

the other side.

Xuanhao, who was left at the school gate, finally realized that it seemed unnecessary for him to obey Fushiguro Megumi's orders.

So he took the same step and rushed into the school.

  ···········

With two 'jade dogs' leading the way, Fushiguro Megumi had a smooth journey.

The number of cursed spirits was increasing along the way, which meant that he was getting closer and closer to his goal.

Turning a corner again.

He finally found the two students.

"hateful……"

But the two of them have been surrounded by cursed spirits, and it seems that the cursed spirits that followed the cursed object here want to absorb the two of them along with the cursed object.

"That's too late!!"

Just when he felt that even if he ran at full speed he would not be able to save people.

wow-

The sound of breaking glass came from the side.

"Xuan Hao!?"

Fushiguro Megumi saw a figure breaking through the window and it was Xuan Hao.

Xuan Hao mercilessly kicked the cursed spirit that was absorbing the two students like a meat ball, causing it to lose balance instantly.

Then, without stopping, he grabbed the two of them and pulled them outside.

The terrifying strange force pulled the two people out of the cursed spirit almost instantly.

Xuanhao hurriedly held the two men, one in each hand, and retreated to the back.

"What time is it?"

As the cursed spirit spoke, it locked onto Xuan Hao and reached out to attack him.

But Xuanhao's expression did not change.

Because Megumi Fushiguro on the side had already taken action.

Fushiguro Megumi waved his hands violently, and the two jade dogs pounced on him mercilessly, tearing Jiang Zhuling to pieces.

"call……"

Looking at the jade dog gnawing at the cursed spirit, Fushiguro Hui breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xuan Hao, "Although I really want to ask you why you followed me, you did a good job."

"Why are you so cocky? You can't save them without me, right?"

Xuanhao was speechless when he saw the arrogant Megumi Fushiguro.

"By the way, who are those two dogs feasting so merrily over there?"

"It's my shikigami. Can you see it?"

Fushiguro Megumi asked with some confusion.

"?" Xuanhao showed a puzzled expression.

"Curses are generally not visible to ordinary people, except in special circumstances such as when one is about to die," explained Megumi Fushiguro.

"Ah, indeed I have never seen a ghost." Xuan Hao nodded as a matter of course.

"Aren't you afraid?" asked Megumi Fushiguro.

"Why be afraid?"

Xuanhao was a little confused, "They have never hurt me."

"..."

Fushiguro Megumi was speechless after hearing this.

"The cursed item should be on these two people."

"found it."

Xuanhao touched a dry finger from the girl and handed it to Fushiguro Megumi.

"Is this it?"

"Ah."

Fushiguro Megumi nodded slightly.

"Part of the special grade cursed item 'Ryomen Sukuna'."

Megumi Fushiguro took the finger and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Two sides...what?" Xuanhao said he had never heard of it.

"You won't understand even if I tell you. It's very dangerous anyway." Fushiguro Megumi answered with a change of expression.

"Be careful up there!"

Xuan Hao looked upwards after hearing this.

The ceiling suddenly collapsed.

The two of them dodged at the same time without hesitation.

Smoke filled the corridor and the two were separated.

"Fushiguro!?"

Xuanhao shouted.

"Well--"

Fushiguro Megumi wanted to answer, but he didn't have the energy to do so.

Along with the ceiling, a giant cursed spirit also fell, and was now being held in the hand of this guy.

Megumi Fushiguro raised her hand with difficulty and tried to make a seal.

But the action was interrupted by the curse spirit.

The curse spirit threw him out mercilessly and smashed him hard against the wall.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

Xuanhao looked at this scene and asked with some embarrassment.

Although he really wanted to step forward to help, this was Yuji Itadori's body after all. He was just descending on it and could not exert his original strength at all. He could only rely on Yuji Itadori's natural strength.

However, such extraordinary power seems to be not enough in front of the cursed spirit.

  ···········

boom--

A huge hole was blown out in the teaching building.

Fushiguro Megumi flew out of the hole in a panic and fell on the platform outside.

"Cough cough..."

He stood up with difficulty and tried to perform the spell again.

But the strong impact made him dizzy and he couldn't concentrate for a while.

Just as the huge cursed spirit was getting closer.

A figure suddenly fell from the hole right behind him.

boom--

Xuan Hao knocked the cursed spirit down with a ruthless punch.

Then he landed steadily and looked at his fist with some dissatisfaction.

"Tsk, this little bit of strength is really not enough?"

The cursed spirit did not suffer any substantial damage, it was just knocked down.

"Are you okay?" he asked Fushiguro Megumi.

"Didn't I tell you to run away quickly?" Fushiguro Megumi responded with his head down, but in his heart he was marveling at Xuan Hao's strange strength.

"Isn't this the time to say that?" Xuan Hao curled his lips slightly, "If I look at this unclean thing and leave without getting rid of it, I will have a nightmare tonight."

As he spoke, he took a stance, ready to attack.

The cursed spirit stood up and launched a fierce attack on him.

The powerful force pushed him back a long distance.

But thanks to Yuji Itadori's natural physical advantages, he can barely hold on.

"Take the other two away from here."

Fushiguro Megumi said again.

"A curse can only be removed by a curse."

"Could you please find something to say?"

Xuanhao was speechless.

"So this thing is the type that physical attacks don't work on?"

"That's why I told you to take your people away a long time ago." Fushiguro Megumi urged unhappily, "If you don't leave, you will all die here. There is no point for people without cursed power to stay here."

"I say, why is the curse directed at this finger?"

Xuan Hao took out the finger that Fushiguro Megumi had lost in the previous battle and asked. (End of this chapter)
