Chapter 123

Seeing Shengzai, who was planning to run out with an anxious face, Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki thought Shengzai couldn't accept such a blow and just wanted to open their mouths to say something, but were stopped by Gojo Satoru reaching out to the side.

Because Gojo Satoru saw that Shengzai's current mental state was completely fine, not at all like he was babbling.

So he asked: "Shengzai, why do you think Itadori didn't really die?"

Shengzai: (￣￣) Nonsense, because I am a transmigrator, and that guy Itadori is the Son of the World.

If he kicked the bucket so easily, then is he still the male protagonist in a shonen manga?

It's not that there are absolutely no shonen manga where the male protagonist dies, but generally, such knives only appear in the finale.

Now that the boss Ryomen Sukuna has only popped out for a short time, how could Itadori Yuji, as the Son of the World, be easily kicked the bucket?

Of course, the above words were purely Shengzai's internal rant. When he was asked by Gojo Satoru, Shengzai naturally gave another set of rhetoric.

"When I was fighting Ryomen Sukuna, I could sense that he had the idea of trying to use me as a replacement vessel, which means that the current Ryomen Sukuna is equivalent to falling into a deep sleep again without a vessel.

When Gojo-sensei arrived at the scene, Ryomen Sukuna shouldn't have fought you, but simply returned the body to Itadori, right?

Then the question comes, why did he do this? Even if he, with three fingers, wasn't an opponent, he wouldn't just sit and wait for death, right?

Clearly, he did this to use Itadori as a shield, but the dead Itadori has no such value.

In order not to let his hard-won consciousness fall asleep, and the cursed energy of three fingers, Ryomen Sukuna couldn't let Itadori die.

Or rather, before Ryomen Sukuna finds a replaceable vessel, the more Ryomen Sukuna fingers Itadori swallows, the safer he will be.

Because those Sukuna fingers are all Ryomen Sukuna's cursed energy. If you were Ryomen Sukuna, would you let that cursed energy disappear with Itadori?"

After listening to Shengzai's words, Gojo Satoru's expression moved instantly, and in the next second, his figure also disappeared in front of the three of them.

Tokyo Jujutsu High, Morgue.

Ieiri Shoko, known as the treasure of the academy, had just finished sewing up the hole in Itadori's chest, but just as she turned around, she didn't notice that a certain corpse on the operating table behind her suddenly sat up like a "zombie"!

However, Ieiri Shoko hadn't seen this hellish scene. Gojo Satoru, who had just used his technique to arrive here, witnessed Itadori, who should have been dead, actually resurrecting just as Shengzai said!

"Gojo, I told you long ago, don't use your technique without a sound, suddenly entering..."

Seeming to hear the movement behind her, Ieiri Shoko said while turning around with an unhappy face, but just as she wanted to open her mouth to scold her friend, in the next second, seeing Itadori sitting up behind her, she was also stunned on the spot.

This was because Ieiri Shoko, as medical personnel, had seen many dead bodies, and was also a sorcerer herself. Otherwise, seeing someone previously judged to be dead sit up by himself, and stare straight at her with his eyes, wouldn't a normal woman be scared to death directly?

"Gojo, did you do this? How did you do it!"

Itadori's body previously had no signs of life. As medical personnel, Ieiri Shoko could be absolutely certain of this.

Although she didn't believe there was a technique in the world that could make people resurrect from the dead, the miracle that happened before her eyes made her have to believe it.

"I don't have such power. I also just arrived and saw him climb up by himself.

Honestly, I'm also confused now. If it weren't for listening to Shengzai's judgment, I would have thought Itadori was already dead."

Itadori, who had just woken up, was also confused, but soon, thick-headed as he was, he also felt his situation was a bit awkward.

Because a big sister with long brown hair in front of him was looking at him with curiosity.

If it were just looking at him, that would be fine, but the point was that he was stark naked now, and the other party was staring straight at him with her eyes, as if looking at a rare animal. This made Itadori quite awkward.

Seeing the resurrected Itadori, Gojo Satoru was also very happy. After all, he had already learned the whole story from Fushiguro Megumi.

He learned that the reason Ryomen Sukuna came out to cause trouble again was mainly because Itadori wanted to protect Fushiguro and Kugisaki at that time.

No matter what, Itadori's character and actions made Gojo Satoru quite appreciative. After all, not everyone could do true self-sacrifice.

"So, the reason you were able to resurrect is because of Ryomen Sukuna's power.

As for why the other party wanted to resurrect you, have you forgotten the reason completely?"

Hearing Itadori's words, Gojo Satoru's face also showed a slight look of gravity.

Itadori and Ryomen Sukuna hadn't communicated for long, and even if Itadori's brain wasn't good, it was impossible to forget the details completely in such a short time.

And the only possibility for this to happen was that Itadori and Ryomen Sukuna might have reached some kind of agreement or contract.

But this agreement or contract, Itadori couldn't inform a third person, or even he himself forgot it, was also one of the contents of the contract.

From this incident at the detention center, it wasn't hard to see that Ryomen Sukuna was not only a man of strength, but also had quite a few ghost ideas.

If it weren't for Shengzai turning the tide this time, his conspiracy might have really succeeded.

Regarding the matter that Itadori might have signed an agreement with Ryomen Sukuna, Gojo Satoru didn't intend to report it to the higher-ups.

Because the current jujutsu higher-ups were already very wary of Itadori, and had always wanted to kill him.

If they knew about this kind of thing, then Itadori's situation would inevitably become more dangerous.

It was Shengzai on that side who could be explained to, because as Itadori's best friend, Shengzai was someone who could be absolutely trusted.

And various recent events showed that compared to Okkotsu Yuta, who only possessed strength and super talent, this guy Shengzai not only had strength online, but was also a brainy type.

Whether it was judgment, analytical ability, or the way of handling things, Shengzai had a maturity far beyond his apparent age, and could be called an all-around hexagonal sorcerer.

And honestly, Gojo Satoru, who discovered that Shengzai possessed these qualities, was actually quite pleasantly surprised inside.

After all, the current jujutsu higher-ups were all old schemers with thick faces and black hearts. He might be enough to make them feel wary in terms of strength, but if it came to playing tricks, he might not necessarily be their opponent.

An adult like himself was still like this, so high school students like Okkotsu and Itadori who only had talent and strength would be even less able to be schemed against by those old schemers of the jujutsu higher-ups.

It was fine while he was still alive, but what if he died one day? Without his protection, wouldn't these children of Jujutsu High become tools in the hands of the jujutsu higher-ups?
