The magnetic field rotation that began in Jujutsu Kaisen
Chapter 71: The Missing Knotweed
Shen'er went out to take on another mission and continued his crazy work spree.
Dong Yangping continued to be his "idle man".
Oh, now he can't be a freeloader either; he's been assigned a task.
Dong Yangping looked at the little sea urchin-headed creature on his shoulder. The little guy kept chattering away, but he didn't find it annoying at all.
Jiji complained that Hui was too noisy.
"They're jumping around and never stop, it's so noisy!"
She covered her ears. "I still need to do my research! I still need to read! Take him out to play!"
"Don't you dare send her back to Xiang Nai Hui Hui!"
"Okay, okay, I got it, I understand."
Dongyangping had no choice but to take Hui around.
At this moment, Hui was riding on Dong Yangping's shoulders, her little hands gripping his hair, looking around excitedly.
"Uncle, uncle, what's that?"
"crow."
"What about that one?"
"Utility pole."
"Um, um!"
"cloud."
Hui was not satisfied.
"Uncle, how do you know everything? How boring!"
Dongyang Ping rolled his eyes.
"You're asking common sense questions, of course I know them."
Hui tilted her head and thought for a moment.
"Then let me ask you something I don't know! Uncle, do you think I should change my name when I grow up?"
Dong Yangping was stunned for a moment.
"Change your name? Why do you ask that?"
"Because Mom sometimes calls me 'Megumi-chan,' which sounds like a girl!" Megumi pouted. "I don't want to be a girl!"
Dong Yangping couldn't help but laugh.
"Your mom just loves you. Besides, Hui is such a nice name; your parents chose it together, it's so meaningful."
Hui nodded.
Speaking of Higashiyohei, it reminds me of Megumi's full name—Kanae...
Dong Yangping: "Speaking of changing names, how about you change your surname? Your full name reminds me of someone whose surname is Butterfly."
"Uncle, what do you mean by 'the one surnamed Butterfly'?"
Dongyang Ping almost burst out laughing.
"It's nothing, I just remembered an anime. There's a girl in it named Shinobu Kocho, and her older sister is named Kanae Kocho, which sounds a bit like your name."
Hui blinked.
"Butterfly? What a strange surname. I still prefer my first name!"
"Yes, yes, your name is the best."
Dong Yangping smiled, but in his heart he thought: If there were a girl named Shinobu Kocho in the future, he might even feel that they were destined to meet.
But that's a matter for another world.
Just then, my phone rang.
Dong Yangping took it out and saw the caller ID: Stubborn Old Man.
This is his note for Itadori Yasuke.
Dong Yangping gets a headache just looking at this name.
When he sent people to bring Hisahito Itadori and Yasuke Itadori to live in Saitama Prefecture, he witnessed firsthand just how stubborn and headstrong the old man was.
"No way!" The old man shook his head vigorously. "I've lived here for decades, why should I move?"
"The conditions are better over there."
"No matter how good it is, I won't go!"
"Hiruhito has someone specifically to take care of him."
"I can take care of myself!"
"Safety is guaranteed."
"I've lived for decades and haven't been killed by anyone!"
……
Dong Yangping was speechless at the time.
No matter how much we tried to persuade him, even after we'd practically worn our lips out, the old man remained unmoved.
In the end, Higashiyo Hei was about to give up, but a while ago, Huzhang Jin somehow managed to persuade the old man to agree to move to Saitama.
Dong Yangping also kept his promise and prepared a large house for them.
Originally, the plan was to arrange for Hisahito and Megumi to live together, but the old man insisted on keeping his grandson, and since Shinji had taken Megumi on a trip, the plan had to be abandoned in the end.
Now this old man is actually calling me on his own initiative?
Dongyangping was connected.
"Feed?"
"Dongyang boy!"
The irritable voice of Itadori Yasuke came from the other end of the phone, making Higashiyohei's ears hurt.
"Is Ren with you?"
Dong Yangping was stunned for a moment.
"Ren? What happened to him?"
"He hasn't been home for three days!"
The old man's voice was filled with anxiety, "Three days! He won't answer the phone, and he's nowhere to be found. I asked the company, and they said he took leave, but he hasn't come back since!"
Dongyang Ping fell silent.
He hasn't been home for three days, and you're only looking for him now?
"Old man, your son isn't with me. What's going on?"
There was a few seconds of silence on Itadori Yasuke's side.
Then he said, "Ren is missing."
Dong Yangping frowned.
Missing?
He recalled the original story's setting—the character Itadori Jin had almost no screen time. In the original story, he seemed to have disappeared quite early on, leaving only Itadori Yamasuke to raise Hisahito alone.
Now, this "disappearance" has not been changed.
"Don't panic," Dong Yangping said. "I'll go check it out. Have you called the police?"
"no."
Why?
There was a long silence on the other end.
Then Itadori Yasuke's voice came, tinged with bitterness.
"You know Ren is no simpleton. What's the use of calling the police? What can they find out?"
Dongyang Ping fell silent.
He was right.
The police's tactics had no effect on him at all.
"Okay, I'll be right there," Dong Yangping said.
After hanging up the phone, he looked down at Hui on his shoulder.
"Megumi, would you like to visit a friend?"
Hui's eyes lit up.
"Friends? What friends?"
"A little boy about your age," Dong Yangping said. "He's a year younger than you and has pink hair."
"Pink hair?" Hui tilted her head. "What a strange color! I want to see it, I want to see it!"
Dongyang Ping smiled.
"Walk."
……
The Urajō family's new house is on the other side of Saitama Prefecture, a half-hour drive from their base in Higashiyohei.
Dongyang Ping was too lazy to drive.
He held Hui in his arms and activated the magnetic field flight.
Hui was so excited that she shouted "Wow!"
"Uncle, uncle! We're flying! We're flying!"
"Um."
"So high! So fast! You can run even faster than Dad!"
Dong Yangping's lips twitched.
If Shen'er heard this, he would probably be depressed for a long time.
Ten minutes later, the two landed in front of the Tiger Staff's house.
It was an ordinary two-story building, not much different from the surrounding houses. There were a few green plants in the yard, and a few baby clothes were hanging on the clothesline.
Dong Yangping rang the doorbell.
A few seconds later, the door opened.
Yasuke Itadori stood at the doorway, his hair whiter than before, and the wrinkles on his face deeper. But his eyes remained as sharp as ever.
"Come in."
Dongyang Ping carried Hui inside.
The living room was tidy, with baby bottles and supplies on the coffee table. Several boxes of toys were piled up in the corner, clearly prepared for Hisahito.
"Where's Yuhito?" Higashiyohei asked.
"They're sleeping upstairs," said Itadori Yasuke. "I just got them to sleep."
He glanced at Hui.
"This is……"
"Shen'er's son." Dongyang Ping put Hui down. "Hui, call him Grandpa."
Hui obediently bowed.
"Hello, Grandpa!"
Wasuke Itadori was taken aback.
Then he nodded.
"Good boy."
He took a piece of candy out of his pocket and handed it to Hui.
"Take it."
Hui took the candy and smiled happily.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Dong Yangping watched this scene. Although the old man was stubborn, he was still quite good to the child.
"Where is Ren's room?" he asked.
"Second floor, the one on the left," Itadori Yasuke said. "I'll take you up."
"No need," Dong Yangping said. "I'll go myself. You watch over the child."
He looked at Hui.
"Megumi, be a good girl here. When Yujin wakes up later, you can play with him, okay?"
Hui nodded vigorously.
"good!"
……
Dongyangping went up to the second floor.
Push open the door to the room on the left.
A familiar aura wafted over – it was the residual power of the curse from the scepter of the scepter.
But there is something else besides that.
A very faint, cold atmosphere.
Dongyang Ping frowned.
He closed his eyes, activating his magnetic field perception to its fullest extent.
Every corner of the room was clearly presented in his mind.
Bed, wardrobe, desk, floor, walls...
The remaining traces of cursed power drifted through the room like wisps of mist.
He followed those traces, tracing them back step by step.
Then he discovered—
There was a trail pointing out the window.
The curtains swayed gently in the breeze.
Dongyang Ping walked to the window and looked outside.
Below is the backyard, and beyond that is the neighbor's house.
But in his perception, the mark had not disappeared.
It extends into the distance, reaching all the way to the edge of the field of perception.
Dongyang Ping withdrew his senses, his brows furrowing even more deeply.
Among those traces, besides the curse power of Polygonum cuspidatum, there was something else that made him very uncomfortable.
It was an extremely cold and evil curse.
It was mixed with strong negative emotions—hatred, fear, resentment…
The feeling was like being targeted by a venomous snake.
