Under the cognitive distortion effect of [Delusion Creation], Rika originally wanted to find out about Natsuyu Eri's recovery from her injuries so that she could get rid of this only person who knew her identity at the right time.
Unexpectedly, from the moment Natsumi Eri began to doubt her, the power of her [Delusion Creation] spell increased exponentially. After she left, Gojo, who had noticed Natsumi's unusual behavior, briefly doubted Rika. It was at this moment that Rika's spell power was instantly burned away by more than half.
This immediately made Rika realize that the [Delusion Creation] would consume magical power depending on the strength of the target. If someone like Gojo Satoru, the strongest in the world, started to have doubts, it wouldn't be long before Rika would be exposed.
[It seems that in order to avoid being killed and to learn how to control magical power, I must disguise myself...]
With that thought in mind, Rika suppressed her true nature and did what she did best...
Meanwhile, in Sendai City, at the home of Hisahito Itadori.
For fourteen years, So has perfectly embraced the role of a mother. Over the years, she and Hitoshi Itadori have raised Hisahito Itadori together, watching him cry, watching him laugh, and watching him grow up peacefully.
Hisahito's grandfather, Yasuke Itadori, was so suspicious of Taku's motives that he tried to persuade Hisahito many times without success, and in anger, he moved back to the countryside.
However, considering that So had honestly taken care of Hisahito Itadori for fourteen years, he was no longer as resistant to So as his daughter-in-law as before.
That year, Yuujin Itadori was fourteen years old. He grew up normally under the care of his parents... but not quite normally either. In order to make Yuujin Itadori a perfect vessel for Sukuna, So would feed Yuujin Itadori a finger every two years.
Although Itadori Yuujin did not understand why his mother did this, it was her request after all, so he did not refuse. In this way, at the age of fourteen, Itadori Yuujin already had eight Sukuna fingers in his body.
Yuujin Itadori also noticed Sukuna's presence, but Sukuna's presence at most gave him another close friend to talk to, without changing anything much.
Until Itadori learned to use the internet and, by chance, came across communism and communist ideology, Sukuna became obsessed and made a pact with Itadori Yuujin to gain one hour of control over his body every day.
As for what he wanted to do with the control over his body, it was naturally to study the doctrines and ideologies he was once familiar with. After studying the history of a certain country, Sukuna almost burst into tears, exclaiming:
"I knew that even in the world after I die, there will be like-minded partners who share the same ideas and fight for the same cause. With such people, how can we not achieve a world of harmony?"
Upon learning that a certain European country was on the verge of achieving universal harmony, Su Nuo's longing for that country reached an unprecedented peak, and he couldn't wait to go there immediately to investigate.
Unfortunately, that country disintegrated eighteen years ago, so even if Sukuna wanted to go, he couldn't.
Even so, Sukuna still believes that as long as you learn from failures, you can always stay on the right path.
Yuujin Itadori was speechless at Sukuna's behavior. Although he didn't want to lend his body to this weirdo, Sukuna had promised to read him the answers for the next history exam.
Days passed by, and when August arrived, it was the Ullambana Festival. As the second largest festival after the Lunar New Year, there were naturally many grand activities.
However, Yuuji Itadori wasn't interested in that at all; he just wanted to stay home and play games all day. Just as he was opening one of his most customizable games as usual, So's voice came from the doorway:
"Yujin, Mom is going out to buy some groceries. My friend will be coming over later, so remember to open the door."
Yuujin Itadori readily agreed. Shortly after Su left, a rhythmic knocking sound came from the outer door, bringing Yuujin, who was holding the handle, back to his senses.
"Mom has friends? This is the first time I've heard of this in all these years. What kind of people are Mom's friends...?"
With that thought in mind, Yuujin Itadori put down the controller, went to the door and opened it. Before he could even see who it was, a long-horned snake head shoved his way in...
Chapter 117: A Large Wave of Guests Arrives
This is no ordinary snake head. Its scales are like black iron, its belly is white as frost, its back is covered with moss, its head has two horns, and its eyes are like red lamps. It is the Great Demon Serpent of Collapsing Mountain.
However, after years of consuming incense offerings, the snake possessed a divine quality beyond its wildness as a demon. This meant that Hisahito Itadori wasn't overly afraid upon seeing it; he was merely startled and blurted out:
"Oh my god, how come you're so ugly...?"
Upon hearing Hisahito Itadori's words, a hint of displeasure appeared on the snake's face. He flicked his tongue and retorted:
"He's obviously super handsome, isn't he? You brat, you're blind. I'm not going to bother with you."
The snake didn't take Hisahito Itadori's offense to heart; after all, he was just a fourteen-year-old kid, not worth making a fuss about.
He squeezed into the room, intending to find a place to sit and wait for Hisahito's mother (Sora) to come home. But as soon as he stepped into the room, he heard a soothing piece of music from Hisahito's room. As a man who had been a recluse for thousands of years, how could he not know what the sound meant?
Following the sound, he arrived at Yuujin Itadori's room and immediately saw the screen displaying the classic sandbox game "Minecraft." His eyes lit up, and he said:
"What kind of game is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
Without any hesitation, Snake sat down in front of the screen, picked up the controller, and began to control the game character.
Just as Yuuji Itadori closed the door, he saw Snake enter his room and start playing games, which left him feeling somewhat helpless.
"You think you're at home here? Don't mess with my save file. If you want to play, I'll just create a new one for you."
As Yuujin Itadori said this, he quickly returned to his room, snatched the controller from the snake's hand, swiftly created a new world, and then waved the controller at the snake:
"Do you need me to teach you how to play, you old man with the weird hood?"
"I don't need you to teach me, I'm a high-level player."
Snake snatched the handle, gave the backrest a push, and the character started moving smoothly. He immediately looked triumphantly at Itadori Yuujin and said:
"Also, I'm not wearing a hood; this is how I really look."
After saying that, the snake focused on figuring out how to play the game, leaving a somewhat bewildered Yuuji Itadori behind.
Looking at the snake's black scales, the moss on its back, and the pair of horns on its head, Hisahito Itadori was filled with doubt.
"That looks like a hood, doesn't it? Who looks like that?"
Yuji Itadori muttered to himself, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the back of the snake's head. The cool, damp touch of the moss startled him. He withdrew his hand and sniffed it; his fingertips were filled with moisture and the scent of earth, mixed with a faint fishy smell.
It wasn't until he touched it that Yuujin Itadori began to believe the snake's words. However, having witnessed the cursed king Ryoumen Sukuna, he wasn't too afraid or surprised after learning that the snake was indeed a snake demon.
He quickly shared it with the spirit within his body:
"Grandpa, look! It's a monster!"
Because Sukuna was the elder brother of Itadori Yuujin's grandfather in his previous life, Itadori Yuujin addressed Sukuna as "Grandpa," and Sukuna did not object to this.
Upon hearing Hisahito Itadori's words, Sukuna, who had been enjoying his studies in a certain country in his new realm, was quite surprised to hear the term "youkai."
After all, during the Heian period, cursed spirits were called monsters, but in modern times, the intelligence of cursed spirits has been greatly reduced, making them almost a different species from the cursed spirits of the Heian period. Therefore, in Sukuna's mind, monsters and cursed spirits represent two groups, just like humans and chimpanzees.
In order to see clearly the snake demon that Itadori Yujin was talking about, Sukuna opened the second pair of eyes under Itadori Yujin's eyes. When he saw the figure sitting in front of the screen playing games, he was stunned and had no idea who this guy was.
Upon sensing this familiar magical power, Su Nuo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"snake?"
Upon hearing Sukuna call out the snake's name, Itadori Yuujin's curiosity was immediately piqued, and he asked:
"Sir, do you know him?"
"of course."
Su Nuo made no attempt to hide anything, saying:
“A thousand years ago, I lived with a snake for a period of time. At that time, it was a giant snake that was over three hundred meters long. It’s really unexpected that it has become like this now.”
Upon learning that his mother's friend was a great yokai that existed a thousand years ago, Yuuji Itadori was so shocked he could hardly close his mouth. Although he was very interested in how his mother knew about snakes, at this moment, Yuuji Itadori's attention was focused on Sukuna:
"Sir, would you like to come out and catch up with him?"
Hearing this, Su Nuo was somewhat taken aback. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but show a gratified smile as he sat atop thousands of corpses in the Realm of Life.
Yujin Itadori remains as kind-hearted as ever, which is why Sukuna couldn't help but treat him as a junior. He even felt a little reluctant to possess Yujin Itadori's body to revive him in the future.
After all, Hisahito Itadori was such an outstanding child.
Sukuna rejected Itadori Hisahito's proposal, saying:
"Let's forget about catching up. I haven't figured out how to bring it up with him yet. But you, be careful he doesn't tear your room down."
"Don't worry, sir, I will."
Yuji Itadori readily agreed, and just as he was watching the snake awkwardly playing "Minecraft" and preparing to give him some pointers, there was another knock on the door.
Hisahito Itadori looked over, somewhat puzzled:
"Are there any other guests? Mom didn't say..."
Yujin Itadori walked towards the door, hesitated for a few seconds, and then opened it.
As the lock cylinder slid, two purple figures came into view, one tall and one short. The taller one had purple hair and eyes, and was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was wearing a white wool coat and a beige scarf.
The shorter one had a dragon horn-like ornament on her head and wore a meticulously designed dress. The top resembled a shirt, but it was connected to the A-line long skirt. A bow was tied at her waist, and the overall look was clean and neat.
This outfit is unreasonable. After all, it's October now. Doesn't it get cold to wear a dress?
A thought flashed through Hisahito Itadori's mind, and he felt slightly wary of the strangers who had come to visit:
"You are..."
Before Yuujin Itadori could finish speaking, the girl took advantage of his inattention and pinched his cheek:
"Are you Yujin? I've heard your mother mention you before. I didn't expect you to have grown so much when I first met you. I was hoping to play with you a lot while you were still a baby. What a pity."
...What exactly are you regretting?
Itachi was somewhat helpless. He didn't know how to deal with this girl who was obviously familiar with his mother. After all, this girl only looked a year or two older than him, and the girl next to her looked even younger than him.
He couldn't help but wonder: Where did Mom get to know these people? Could she have been scammed?
Despite his thoughts, he still invited the two people outside the door in. After closing the door, Sukuna surprisingly approached Itadori Yuujin and said:
"Yujin, can I borrow your body for a moment?"
Chapter 118: My World
After making a pact with Yuujin Itadori to gain one hour of control over his body each day, Sukuna rarely asked him for anything. So when Yuujin heard Sukuna offer to borrow his body, he was full of doubt:
"Grandpa, you used up an hour of my time this morning. Now it's my time, you can't go back on your word."
"I know, Yujin, those two people were very important to me, so... I guess I'm just using up tomorrow's time today."
Sukuna discussed this with Itadori Yuujin. In his plan, he wanted to see Lilith and Amelia, at least after helping So open the Death Return.
He really didn't expect to meet Lilith and the other person at this time, because he had no way of confirming whether they were the real people or reincarnations. So he thought of using Yuujin Itadori's body to confirm it.
While Sukuna was still pondering how to negotiate with Itadori Yuujin, the next second, he gained control of his body, and his signature runes began to appear, showing up all over his body.
Looking at the wrist covered in black runes, Sukuna hadn't expected Itadori Yuujin to agree so readily. Just as he was about to ask why, Itadori Yuujin's voice came from the depths of his mind:
"The old man has been in the finger for over a thousand years. He must really want to chat with an old friend. I'm not good at dealing with strangers, so I'd rather let the old man handle it."
Hearing this, Sukuna knew perfectly well what Itadori Yuujin was thinking. His claim of not being good at handling relationships with strangers was just an excuse, a way to avoid making Sukuna too embarrassed.
[Hirujin, you're becoming more and more likable.]
Su Nuo couldn't help but smile and sincerely praised them. Then, he began to think about how to start the conversation with Lilith and Amelia, whom he hadn't seen for nearly a thousand years.
Just then, Lilith's scream came from not far away.
