Then his tone became more serious: "If you want to stay in this line of work for a long time, you have to understand what cases ordinary police officers like us can handle. This case is no longer something we can intervene in."

He had seen the death scenes of the three victims in a movie theater. Even though he was experienced and could call himself a veteran, he was so frightened by the horrifying scene that he almost vomited his overnight meal.

Ignoring the two people whispering, Lin Qi and the other two walked into the cinema.

The movie had stopped playing long ago, and the bright lights allowed the three people to see the death scene clearly, which had not been touched.

"How miserable..." After seeing the miserable appearance of the three bodies leaning against the backrests of the seats, Yuji Itadori's pupils suddenly shrank.

The image of Okazaki's death in the juvenile detention center involuntarily emerged in his mind, but the corpse in front of him was far more tragic than that.

There was no doubt that what lay before him was a wrong death.

Not to mention Yuji Itadori, even Yukino Yukinoshita, who had completed many commissions to exorcise cursed spirits with Lin Qi, felt a little nauseous when she saw the inhuman appearance of the three people.

"Is it the same person?" She asked, suppressing the discomfort in her stomach.

"Yes, the remaining cursed energy is the same."

Lin Qi only took a glance and made a judgment that the souls of these three people had been twisted towards the direction of the cursed spirit, which was why they were in such a tragic state.

"There's also this way." Yukinoshita Yukino discovered the remnants of cursed energy leading to the employee passage.

"Ah? What are you two talking about? Residual cursed energy? Why can't I see anything?" Yuji Itadori looked confused. He couldn't understand their conversation at all.

"Can't you see it?" Lin Qi was a little surprised, "Didn't that guy Gojo teach you?"

"Well, he is that kind of person after all." Yuji Itadori scratched his head embarrassedly.

"It seems that guy has absolutely no ability to teach people!"

Lin Qi immediately laughed loudly. He still remembered the last time Gojo Satoru mocked him in the orphanage. This finally gave him the chance to fight back.

"Yuji-san, if you look carefully, you can find traces of filth."

Seeing that Lin Qi was only busy mocking Gojo Satoru who was not here, and had no intention of explaining to Itadori Yuji, Yukinoshita Yukino had to do it for him: "The residual aura is much weaker than the cursed spirit, so if you don't look carefully, your brain will subconsciously ignore it."

"Oh, I see. Let me try."

Yuji Itadori nodded, then narrowed his eyes and stared hard at the floor in front of him.

After a few seconds, a faint trace slowly emerged in his eyes and stretched crookedly towards the staff passage.

He immediately shouted excitedly: "Oh! I see it!"

"It's natural to be able to see it. Don't be so happy about such a small thing." Yukinoshita Yukino said in a flat tone.

"Yukinoshita-san seems to be used to these things." His blood cooled down a little at the cold voice, and Yuji Itadori asked curiously, "Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen you at Jujutsu High School."

"Lin Qijun and I are just partners with Jujutsu High School. It's natural that you haven't seen me." The black-haired girl explained, "I'm a sophomore at Chiba Sobu High School. As for Lin Qijun... she should be considered a vagrant, right?"

"I see." Yuji Itadori suddenly realized, "Second year of high school, that means you are a senior. What level of sorcerer is Yukinoshita-senpai now?"

"According to what Lin Qijun said, it should be level two."

"That's amazing! Just like Fushiguro!"

Yuji Itadori exclaimed.

"It has nothing to do with me personally... Stop talking nonsense, what should I do now?"

The light in Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she seemed not to want to talk about this topic anymore. If her strength was really that strong, she would not be so helpless in the hands of Ryomen Sukuna.

"This trace of filth is too fake."

Lin Qi's tone was full of disdain. The hook was blunt and the bait was salty, but he wanted to take the bait and see what the other party wanted to do to him: "Follow and see."

"Oh! I'm going to get serious!" Yuji Itadori said with full energy, clapping his palm and fist.

"Be careful not to lose your composure because of the heat of the moment." Yukinoshita Yukino reminded.

"no problem!"

The three of them followed the deliberately left traces of filth all the way to the rooftop. Yukinoshita Yukino sensed two reactions of cursed power and immediately reported to Lin Qi: "Lin Qi-jun, there are two weak reactions of cursed power. It seems that they should be enemies... people?"

What about people?

The black-haired girl showed a stunned expression, and Yuji Itadori turned around and was also dumbfounded: "Huh? Where is Teacher Lin Qi? Wasn't she walking behind just now?"

"Forget it, I'm more or less used to it..." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly and turned back to face the enemy on the rooftop, "Let's deal with the enemy in front of us first."

"it is good!"

"Then I'll take care of this one!"

Yuji Itadori dropped his umbrella and rushed towards a cursed spirit with a pitcher plant-shaped head hiding behind a water tank.

And Yukinoshita Yukino also found the cursed spirit that was crawling darkly and twistedly on the ground like a gecko.

Just as the two were about to take action, Lin Qi's voice suddenly came from above: "Oh, oh, let me remind you, these two small fish are transformed from humans."

The two men paused and looked up at Lin Qi, who was standing on the gatehouse with a bucket of popcorn in her arms.

"What do you mean, human beings?"

Yuji Itadori's pupils suddenly shrank and his gaze was fixed on the cursed spirit that was rushing towards him.

The cursed spirit is... a human being!?

……

...Chapter 92: A helpless act

These two cursed spirits are human! ?

Could such a thing happen?

While hesitating, Yuji Itadori was hit on the nose by the pitcher plant curse spirit that rushed in front of him. He took two steps back and two streams of blood immediately flowed out of his nostrils.

"Teacher Lin Qi, you said that this cursed spirit was transformed from a human. What's going on?!" Yuji asked loudly while hurriedly parrying and dodging the cursed spirit's attack.

When he was distracted, he accidentally revealed a flaw and was hit in the abdomen by the cursed spirit's punch.

His eyes widened immediately, and he hunched his body like a shrimp, and then he was knocked away by an uppercut and landed in a mess not far away.

"It means exactly what it says." Lin Qi grabbed a handful of popcorn and threw it into her mouth, while admiring the horrible look on Yuji Itadori's face as he was beaten by the cursed spirit.

Then look at Yukinoshita Yukino.

The black-haired girl held an umbrella, slowly closed her eyes, and pursed her thin lips tightly. Lin Qi could see the sadness on her face.

After a moment, Yukinoshita Yukino opened her eyes, and a trace of compassion flashed in her navy blue eyes.

An invisible slash flew out from her slender jade hand and slashed across the neck of the cursed spirit.

"Your... receipt?" The cursed spirit tilted his head in confusion.

The next moment, its head rolled off its neck and it died without feeling any pain.

Yukinoshita Yukino came to the fallen head of the cursed spirit, squatted down, reached out her hand without any resistance to the ugly head, and closed its eyelids.

"May you no longer suffer in your next life. Rest in peace." The girl said softly.

Two crystal tears flowed from the curse spirit's closed eyes, streaked across the dark green skin, and merged into the rain.

Lin Qi watched all this silently with a smile, a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

Yukinoshita Yukino had resolved the battle and was about to go help Yuji, but was stopped by Lin Qi.

"This is his battle, don't interfere." Lin Qi said, jumping down from the roof. Seeing the girl's speechless expression, she stuffed the popcorn in her hand into her arms.

Yuji Itadori seemed to have fallen into deep entanglement, and just kept parrying the punches from the pitcher plant curse spirit.

Damn it! The cursed spirit is a human being? How can I bear to kill him?

After blocking another heavy punch coming towards his face, Yuji Itadori slid back a distance, stood firm again, and got ready to continue dealing with the attack of the cursed spirit.

But if I keep going like this, I will lose sooner or later...

Although his physical strength and power were beyond ordinary people, he couldn't withstand being beaten like this.

Gritting his teeth, Yuji Itadori took the initiative to charge towards the enemy for the first time. After quickly dodging the oncoming punch, he went around behind the cursed spirit, hugged it from behind, and used ground techniques to lock its hands and feet. The cursed spirit immediately began to struggle violently.

"Teacher Lin Qi! Can't you think of a way to save him!?" Yuji Itadori shouted at Lin Qi.

"There's nothing we can do." Lin Qi said calmly, "From the moment they became like this, they were already dead."

"how so……"

Yuji was stunned, and the force he applied on his hands weakened, and he was freed by the cursed spirit. He elbowed him in the face with his backhand, and fell backwards, falling heavily to the ground, splashing water everywhere.

The hit of the back of his head on the floor made him feel a little dizzy. After seeing the cursed spirit sitting down on him, Yuji Itadori quickly rolled to the side and stood up again.

He was breathing heavily, his hands were shaking, and even his fists became weak.

"I'm sorry, I can't save you." He said with a painful expression.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, Yuji Itadori stretched out his hands and slapped himself hard on the face. His confused eyes became clear again: "But I can't just fall down here like this!"

The cursed spirit pounced again, but this time it failed to attack as successfully as before.

The fist wrapped in cursed power arrived first and hit the pitcher plant's head hard. The cursed power, which was a step slower, surged up from the abdomen to the arm and exploded again, directly piercing through the cursed spirit's head, leaving a bloody hole the size of a bowl on it.

"Wash, detergent..." The cursed spirit fell backwards, lay on the ground and gradually died.

Yuji Itadori looked down at the body lying quietly on the ground with a complicated expression, his eyes slightly absent-minded as he murmured, "It really hasn't disappeared."

He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and silently mourned for the dead in his heart.

"Well done." Lin Qi came over, patted him on the shoulder, and handed him a bucket of popcorn. "This is a reward."

"Thank you... No, Teacher Lin Qi, you suddenly disappeared just now. Did you just go to buy popcorn?" Just as Yuji Itadori was about to say thank you, the expression on his face fell.

Why do I feel that Teacher Lin Qi is not much more unreliable than Teacher Gojo?

"I didn't buy it, I took it." Lin Qi corrected, "After all, the cinema staff were gone, but I saw there was still a lot of popcorn left in the incubator, so I packed it here to avoid wasting food."

"One bucket per person." He said, and like a magic trick, he took out a bucket of popcorn from behind and started eating.

"Taking without asking is stealing. Doesn't Lin Qijun understand such a simple truth?" The cold voice of Yukinoshita Yukino came from behind the two of them. When she turned around, she saw a bucket of popcorn stuffed into her arms by Lin Qi.

"This is a reasonable requisition." Lin Qi said with confidence.

"This isn't really an excuse; it's just pure unreasonable behavior." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly, then picked up a piece of popcorn and put it in her mouth.

Watching the interaction between the two, Yuji Itadori scratched his head and said, "You two have a very good relationship."

"Well, it's okay." Lin Qi said with a smile.

"How did you know that?" Yukinoshita Yukino glanced away, "What are we going to do next?"

"There are no clues here, let's go back for a while." Lin Qi glanced at Yuji Itadori who was soaking wet, "Itadori also needs to change clothes, be careful not to catch a cold."

"I'm fine. I'm in good health. I've never been sick since I was a child." Yuji Itadori showed off his muscles and said with a smile, "But it's really uncomfortable to be wet all over."

"There's nothing to gain from staying here. Let's go." Lin Qi took the lead and returned to the corridor.

Before leaving the cinema, Yukinoshita Yukino saw the ticket office, so she walked up and put the money for three popcorns on the front desk.

For some reason, the girl suddenly felt a complex emotion in her heart: "My child is making trouble everywhere, and as a parent I can only help to clean up the mess."

……

...Chapter 93: Origin

The high school is located in Kanagawa Prefecture.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Yuji Itadori came to the small room that looked like the previous combat meeting room.

The two corpses of ordinary humans that were forcibly transformed into cursed spirits by [Transformation without Action] have been recovered and sent to the High School for research.

It seemed that he had not yet recovered from the battle not long ago. Yuji Itadori sat on the sofa with a towel draped over his head and a lost expression.

"Do you still feel bad about it?"

Lin Qi opened the door and walked in. Seeing that the pink-haired boy still looked absent-minded, she threw a can of drink at him.

"I guess so." Yuji Itadori took the drink he threw to him and was about to thank him when he realized something seemed wrong. "Wait, isn't this beer!?"

Casting a puzzled look at Lin Qi, Yuji Itadori said, "I'm still a minor, not old enough to drink."

"It's okay. You'll feel better after drinking this." Lin Qi had already opened his own can of beer and started drinking. He raised his glass towards Tiger Stick and smiled, "This is also a step towards becoming an adult."

"It is a crime to encourage minors to drink." Yukinoshita Yukino immediately cast a sharp look at him, "Does the hermit crab want to change his shell?"

"Don't worry about such a small matter." Lin Qi took out a bottle of strawberry milk from her pocket and handed it to her, "This is hush money."

After rolling her eyes helplessly, Yukinoshita Yukino took the strawberry milk and turned to Yuji Itadori and admonished: "Yuji Itadori-san, don't become an adult who can only numb himself with alcohol like Lin Qijun."
