Jujutsu Kaisen: Nozomi no Sora

Louhu, Huayu, Tuogen, Zhenren.

A top-tier cursed spirit known as one of the "Four Great Calamities".

The so-called "natural disasters" are born from human beings' fear of the earth, forests, oceans and themselves, and are regarded as one of the cursed spirits representing natural disasters.

Their distinctive features are: volcano head, tree branch horns, octopus tentacles, and—stitched face.

If what appeared before Xuan Yi at this moment were these real monsters...

He probably didn't even have a chance to escape!

After all, cursed spirits have absolutely no pity for humans.

"I see, you're starting to empathize a little."

The man in front of me gave me a harmless smile, squinted his eyes, and just sat there smiling.

That smile did not make Xuan Yi relax in the slightest.

This only made him more nervous.

The other party is a top-tier curse master. If they suddenly turn on him, he won't even know how he died.

Xuan Yi swallowed hard and asked tentatively:

Do you know what these are?

"It's a curse."

Lu Suo spoke calmly.

"curse?"

"Someone's coming."

As soon as Lu Suo finished speaking, footsteps came from outside the door.

The ward door was not closed, and two people dressed in black knocked on the door and came in.

"Sorry to bother you."

One was a man in his early thirties, with a composed expression and a weary look in his eyes, as if he had seen it all. The other was a woman in her twenties, with a cool and aloof face, holding a tablet computer in her hand. Her gaze quickly swept around the ward before finally settling on Xuan Yi.

"Are you Genichi Nishio?"

The man spoke, his tone calm.

Xuan nodded subconsciously, only then realizing that there was no one by the bed, and Lu Suo had disappeared at some point!

Those conversations just now felt like an illusion.

"And you two are...?"

"Psychological support team for special disasters."

The woman spoke, her cheeks slightly flushed, seemingly embarrassed by the seemingly nonsensical affiliation of the department. Her voice remained flat, "We'd like to know some details about the fire this afternoon."

Xuan Yi's heart sank, but he remained expressionless.

If he wasn't mistaken, the two people in front of him were dressed like "Window"!

An organization composed of warlocks who are unable to participate in combat, or non-warlocks, dedicated to investigating information related to curses.

The eyes and ears of the sorcery world.

Over the next ten minutes, the two men asked him some questions.

The key points are especially about what he was doing before the fire, whether he noticed anything unusual, and whether he saw anything strange while escaping.

Although the "Window" organization belongs to the High School camp, Xuan Yi also knows that the current upper echelons of the High School were all old-fashioned and inflexible people before they were purged by Gojo Satoru. They had no concept of good or evil, right or wrong, only conflicts of interest and power.

They would not hesitate to sentence Yuta Otokoku and Hisahito Itadori to death because the abilities of these two were beyond their control.

To be honest, he would be suspected of being an accomplice of the arsonist. Most importantly, given Lu Suo's cunning, he might be hiding in some corner that Lu Suo can't see, monitoring everything here.

So he responded to the two in the simplest way—by refusing to answer.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

The five-minute conversation yielded no results and no valuable information was obtained. The man stood up and straightened his clothes.

"If you think of anything later, you can call this number."

Xuan Yi took the business card from the man and said nothing, only glancing silently at the name on it—Nishimiya Sousuke.

The two then left the ward.

After walking silently for a long time, Kobayashi Wu sighed helplessly beside her.

"He's a warlock, isn't he?"

"Who knows? Let's wait and see. If it really doesn't work, we can catch some 'fly heads' and then confirm it."

Nishimiya Sousuke rubbed his forehead wearily, then suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something.

He took out his phone and looked at it.

"What's wrong?" Kobayashi Kiri asked curiously.

"It's nothing." Nishimiya Sousuke shook his head and let out a soft sigh. "I've thought about it for a long time these past few days, and I've decided to transfer back to Kyoto! The approval just came through."

The two remained silent for a long time.

"I see," Kobayashi Kiri murmured to herself. "Well then, have a safe trip..."

In the ward.

With the nurse's help, he was able to lie down smoothly again.

Nishimiya Sousuke, this name does not appear in the original work.

It's also from the Nishimiya family... I might as well not think too much about it. After all, he's just an investigator from "Window". Since it's not a sorcerer who came directly to my door, there shouldn't be any big trouble!

Forget it, I'd better get some rest first before thinking about the future!

The future...

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a high-rise building opposite Genichi Nishio.

Lu Suo was standing by the railing, looking down.

The setting sun cast its warm glow on his face, half bathing it in golden light and the other half hidden in shadow.

"It's rare to see you waste so much time on a monkey."

A woman with long light brown hair, wearing a form-fitting dress, walked slowly towards them with the smile of a mature woman.

"Oh, it's Ms. Suda!" Ryousaku turned around and smiled. "He's not a monkey, you know!"

Manami Suda walked to his side, glanced lightly at the opposite ward, and smiled slightly.

"Is there something special about it that interests Lord Xia Youjie so much?"

"Well..." Leaning against the railing, Ryousaku rested his chin on his hand, looking thoughtful. "I'm just curious."

"Curious?" Manami raised an eyebrow.

"That child definitely has some kind of magical power; I'm pretty sure of it. The people from 'Window' went to look for him earlier, but he didn't seem to trust them. He should trust me more, after all, I saved his life!"

Lu Suo shrugged helplessly after speaking, his small eyes fixed on the windowsill in the distance, and murmured, "He doesn't want to reveal his sorcerer's constitution, trying to mislead me into thinking I'm not a sorcerer, or an ordinary person affected by 'corruption'... Is there something about me that makes him so afraid?"

Suda Manami seemed lost in thought as she watched the "fake Natsumi" in front of her actually start checking her own outfit, even smelling the scent on her clothes, becoming self-absorbed by that ever-fresh aroma...

She cleared her throat: "Is it because he overheard your plan with those three?"

"That's impossible!" Lu Su shook his finger, revealing a confident smile. "I always use barrier magic to handle my conversations with everyone, including now. I'm not that careless!"

"Besides—"

He paused, then suddenly laughed.

"The moment we walked into the coffee shop, that kid ran away! So... I really don't understand!"

He held his forehead, laughing so hard he could barely breathe.

"Are we just going to leave him like this? I can take care of him if needed..."

Before Suda Manami could finish speaking, Rōsō raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Ever since the failure of 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons,' the sorcerers of the High School have been hunting you down, haven't they? Leaving your 'remnants' here will surely cause unnecessary trouble!" Rōsō tilted his head and thought for a moment, then the corners of his mouth turned up. "It's rare to encounter something interesting, so I'll learn from Louhu."

Manami was stunned.

"You mean...?"

"Spirit Manipulation Technique - Wind Weasel."

The words fell.

A malevolent spirit wielding a scythe slowly emerged behind him, then transformed into a gust of cold wind and swept across the rooftop.

"Louhu is still too impatient! Even though I've warned him, he'll still go after Gojo Satoru tonight for a duel."

"Looking for... Gojo Satoru? Really?!"

Lu Suo did not answer.

He raised his hand, his long, slender fingers drawing an arc in the air.
