Sitting in the taxi, watching the night scenery of Sendai retreating continuously.
Satoru’s fingertips tapped his knees unconsciously as he pondered in his heart.
Regarding the study of the system’s gray avatar.
Now, only one final piece of key evidence is missing.
And this key evidence lies with Yuji Itadori’s grandfather, Wasuke Itadori!
“If Wasuke Itadori is still alive…”
“Then that proves that the timeline of this comprehensive anime world is advancing steadily based on the original story’s opening plot.”
Then, relying on the advantage of knowing the plot in advance, Satoru will become stronger at an extremely fast pace.
“But if Grandpa Itadori is not here, or has already ‘kicked the bucket’…”
Then the situation would be completely different.
That would mean this might be an extremely chaotic and terrifying world where nothing can be predicted.
Monsters attack today, and humanity’s order burns away tomorrow.
If I stay here for two days, I’d probably be ‘GG’ immediately.
Everything now depends on whether Wasuke Itadori is here or not!
Moreover, regarding intercepting Sukuna’s finger.
Going directly to find Grandpa Itadori is undoubtedly the optimal solution with the highest efficiency and lowest risk.
Going to the high school Yuji Itadori attends and trying to find the finger together with Fushiguro Megumi from Jujutsu High would absolutely be the worst strategy.
According to the plot I am familiar with, the finger is also highly likely not in the school’s louvered box at this moment.
Instead, it is in Yuji Itadori’s hands!
…
The taxi fare was very expensive, making Satoru grit his teeth in frustration as he paid.
A distance of less than two kilometers cost Satoru nearly two thousand yen.
If I include the return trip to Tokyo, then this one hundred thousand yen credit card probably won’t have much left.
Oh dear, how am I going to pay this month’s rent?
Inside the hospital, the smell of disinfectant permeated the air.
In his memory, Wasuke Itadori was staying in Room 301.
Relying on his handsome appearance and convincing charisma, Satoru easily made it to the third-floor inpatient ward.
I have to say, after the bonus from Fujiko’s’Straight-A Student’ entry, Satoru now feels that his memory is getting better and better.
Satoru can easily recall many details from the anime.
“Hello, I’m looking for Wasuke Itadori in 301.”
Satoru said with a faint smile, looking at the young nurse.
“You’re looking for Old Mr.
Itadori?
He shouldn’t be resting yet at this time.”
The young nurse’s cheeks flushed slightly as she looked at Satoru and answered somewhat shyly.
The nurse’s words instantly caused waves in Satoru’s heart.
Wasuke Itadori is still here!
As long as it’s not just a coincidence of names, it can basically be confirmed that the current timeline hasn’t been messed up!
Satoru maintained the calm on his face, suppressing the corners of his mouth that kept wanting to turn upward.
After thanking the nurse, Satoru arrived in front of Room 301.
Taking a deep breath and adjusting his facial expression, Satoru knocked on the hospital room door.
“Please come in.”
The voice sounded slightly hoarse and a bit weak.
Satoru pushed the door open and entered.
An elderly man with a thin figure and a pale face was leaning against the raised hospital bed.
He was panting slightly, clearly suffering from the torment of his illness.
It really is Wasuke Itadori himself!!
Satoru recognized him at a glance!
This is something worth being happy about!
Now let’s see if Sukuna’s finger is really in Yuji Itadori’s hands!
“Who are you?”
Wasuke Itadori on the hospital bed looked at Satoru vigilantly.
His eyes carried a trace of unapproachable majesty.
“Hello, Old Mr.
Itadori, sorry to bother you.”
Satoru greeted him politely.
“My name is Satoru, from the Tokyo Supernatural Phenomenon Research Association.”
“The situation is urgent, so I’ll keep it brief.”
“We monitored that your grandson, Yuji Itadori, took a wooden box from the school’s louvered box.”
“That is an extremely dangerous special grade cursed object!”
Satoru spoke very quickly, his voice urgent and low.
“Dangerous sealed object?
What kind of nonsense are you spouting, kid!?”
Wasuke Itadori’s gaze was sharp, his brows furrowed, and his tone was full of hostility.
“It’s not nonsense!”
Satoru emphasized his tone, locking eyes with Wasuke Itadori, and continued:
“That thing is recorded as a special grade cursed object!
Once opened, it will emit strong negative energy and attract a large number of unclean things!”
“Everything around it will be in danger, and it might even lead to loss of life!”
“Please, you must believe what I say.”
“And…
I can feel it.”
“You must have also come into contact with something similar.”
“Or…
a person.”
“I can feel that kind of aura from you.”
Once these words were spoken, Wasuke Itadori’s expression changed again, as if he had recalled something.
Observing the subtle change in the old man’s eyes, Satoru continued to up the ante.
Satoru knew that Wasuke Itadori was not simple.
It was mentioned in the appendix of the final volume of jujutsu kaisen that he shares a soul with Sukuna.
This point, although shocking, is indeed true.
Furthermore, his son Itadori Jin’s wife is Kenjaku.
Wasuke Itadori, who could perceive the danger of Kenjaku, is by no means an ordinary person.
Speaking of this, once he thought about his son having ‘battled’ fiercely with Kenjaku a few times, Satoru couldn’t help but lose his composure.
“I know Yuji is a kind-hearted person.”
“He only took it because he heard the seniors wanted to study it.”
“Therefore, I must stop him!”
“This is of great importance, and since I can’t reach him for the time being, I can only presumptuously come to you for help!”
“Please, you must tell him to come over immediately, just say you have an emergency, or tell me where he is, and I will go find him!”
Satoru’s tone was extremely sincere, his expression genuine, showing no sign of falsehood.
Wasuke Itadori’s expression was grave.
He stared fixedly at Satoru, his eyes full of calculation.
He didn’t know what the background of this young man in front of him was.
Wasuke Itadori was silent for a few seconds.
This young man in front of him knew his grandson’s name.
And accurately stated the course of events…
In the end, his worry for his grandson overcame all doubts.
Wasuke Itadori let out a heavy grunt and grabbed the old mobile phone by the bedside.
The call connected.
“Yuji?”
Wasuke Itadori’s voice was stern, full of an unquestionable attitude.
“Now, immediately, come to the hospital right away!
I’m not feeling well…
*cough cough*…”
“Yes, right now!
Don’t ask so much, hurry up and come over!”
He paused, glanced at Satoru, and continued to add:
“And!
Bring that old box you took from that crappy louvered box at school with you!”
“That thing is unlucky, don’t touch what’s inside, I want to get rid of it!”
On the other end of the phone, Yuji Itadori, although full of doubts, ultimately agreed.
After hanging up the phone, the hospital room fell into a brief silence.
Wasuke Itadori leaned tiredly against the hospital bed.
His sharp gaze looked at Satoru again: “Kid, you’d better not be lying.”
The finger is really in Yuji Itadori’s hands now!
It’s set!
Now the interception is guaranteed!
Satoru is undoubtedly surging with excitement now!
Satoru can now basically confirm.
The timeline of this world is advancing according to the original plot based on a certain temporal pattern!
This is extremely good news!
Satoru immediately realized clearly.
The benefits that can be brought by intercepting at the beginning of the story are undoubtedly the highest!
Things are starting to get interesting!
Satoru suppressed his surging heart and said solemnly.
“When Yuji comes, everything will be clear.”
“I swear by any name you are willing to believe, Old Mr.
Itadori.”
“When Yuji comes, everything will be clear.”
