“Insight Eye, open.”
In Lin Ye’s field of vision.
On the Cursed Spirit’s body, black lines instantly appeared one after another.
Those were the division lines of the “Ten-Stroke Cursed Technique.”
“Too slow.”
“Too many openings.”
Lin Ye shook his head.
At the exact moment the Cursed Spirit’s scalpel was about to strike his head.
He finally moved.
He raised his right hand.
The fruit knife in his hand was swung out nonchalantly.
There were no flashy special effects.
Only a low murmur.
“Seven-Three.”
“Puchi—!”
That ordinary fruit knife actually sliced through the Cursed Spirit’s iron-hard arm as if it were cutting tofu!
Black blood sprayed everywhere!
“Roar?!”
The Cursed Spirit let out a pained, confused cry.
It didn’t understand.
Why could a fruit knife cut through its Cursed Energy defense?
But Lin Ye didn’t give it any time to think.
He took a step forward.
And closed the distance!
The fruit knife in his hand traced a graceful arc through the air.
This time.
He aimed for the neck.
That line was clearly visible in Lin Ye’s eyes.
The seven-to-three position.
That weak point flashing with red light.
“Goodbye.”
“Remember to brush your teeth in your next life.”
“Swish!”
A flash of blade light.
A hideous head soared into the sky!
The massive body swayed twice before collapsing with a loud thud!
With the death of the Cursed Spirit, its body began to dissipate rapidly, turning into a pile of black ash.
Leaving behind only a mess on the ground.
The entire corridor.
Was dead silent.
Everyone stood there with their mouths agape, staring blankly at the scene.
An instant kill?
Another instant kill?
And with an apple-peeling fruit knife?!
“Is…
is he even human?”
The nurse who had been saved looked at Lin Ye’s back, her eyes filled with shock and adoration.
So strong!
So handsome!
This is just like a superhero in a movie!
Lin Ye flicked off the non-existent blood from the fruit knife.
He turned and looked at the group of petrified bystanders.
“Who is the doctor on duty?”
He asked calmly.
A middle-aged doctor wearing glasses tremblingly raised his hand.
“I…
I am…”
“Oh.”
Lin Ye pointed to the black ash on the ground that hadn’t completely dissipated.
“Call the cleaners to sweep this up.”
“Also.”
“This knife is dirty; remember to get me a new one.”
After saying that.
Lin Ye walked back to the ward without looking back.
Leaving behind a group of people standing dazed in the wind.
“Holy crap…”
“Who was that young man just now?!”
“That was so badass!”
“I want to have his babies!”
The corridor instantly erupted into a commotion.
…
Back in the ward.
Lin Ye closed the door, shutting out the noise from outside.
He leaned against the back of the door and took a deep breath.
“Refreshing!”
“The feeling of that slash just now was incredibly smooth.”
“I couldn’t even feel any resistance.”
He glanced at the fruit knife in his hand.
Although it had sliced through the Cursed Spirit, this ordinary piece of iron had reached its limit; the blade was already chipped and curled.
“It looks like I need to get a proper Cursed Tool.”
“Otherwise, fighting with disposable chopsticks every time would be so uncool.”
Just then.
Sasaki had already sat up on the bed.
She looked at Lin Ye with sparkling eyes.
The door hadn’t been closed tightly just now, and she had seen a little bit through the crack.
Although she didn’t see the whole process clearly.
The image of that single-stroke decapitation was deeply etched into her mind.
“Lin…
Lin Ye-kun.”
“You’re so amazing…”
Sasaki’s voice was soft and sweet, carrying a hint of admiration.
[Ding!
Sasaki’s favorability has increased!]
[65 -> 75 (Heart Secretly Pledged).]
[Evaluation: Right now, in her eyes, you are the man who provides the greatest sense of security in the world.
Suggestion: Strike while the iron is hot.]
Lin Ye walked to the bedside and threw the curled fruit knife into the trash can.
Then he sat down and looked at Sasaki.
“Senpai.”
“There’s something I want to discuss with you.”
Sasaki’s face was red: “Wh…
what is it?
As long as it’s something I can do…”
Lin Ye smiled.
That smile appeared exceptionally charming in the morning sunlight.
“I’m leaving.”
“Going to Tokyo.”
Sasaki was stunned.
The light in her eyes instantly dimmed.
“So…
so soon?”
“Then…
will you come back?”
Lin Ye reached out and gently patted her head.
It felt really nice.
“Maybe, maybe not.”
“After all, the place I’m going to is very dangerous.”
“But…”
Lin Ye leaned in closer and looked directly into her eyes.
“If I miss you, I’ll come back to see you.”
Boom!
Sasaki felt as if a firework had exploded in her mind.
If he doesn’t like me, why is he flirting with me?!
If he doesn’t like me, why say such misleading things?!
This man…
Is truly a sinful bastard!
But why…
Can I just not bring myself to hate him?
“Then…
then you must be careful.”
Sasaki mustered her courage and grabbed Lin Ye’s hand.
“Also…
this is my contact information.”
She hurriedly picked up her phone.
“You must add me as a friend!”
“And you absolutely cannot delete me!”
Lin Ye took out his phone and scanned the QR code.
“Added.”
“Don’t worry, Sasaki-senpai.”
“I’ll send you photos often.”
“After all…”
Lin Ye silently added in his heart:
“You are my first long-term meal ticket…
oh no, Favorability ATM.”
[Ding!
Successfully established a long-term bond!]
[Obtained Item: Long-range Sound-Transmission Conch (Allows communication with capture targets anytime and anywhere, ignoring signal interference).]
[Points +500!]
Lin Ye was overjoyed.
This wave was a huge profit!
… New chapters come out on novelping.com first.
10:00 AM.
Lin Ye completed the discharge procedures.
Actually, there wasn’t much to do; mainly, he paid the fees for Sasaki.
Standing at the hospital entrance.
The sunlight was a bit dazzling.
Lin Ye carried a simple backpack and held a Shinkansen ticket to Tokyo in his hand.
“Whew…”
“Finally leaving the Starting Village.”
“Tokyo Jujutsu High…”
“Gojo Satoru, Fushiguro Megumi, Itadori Yuji…”
“And those damn ‘rotten orange’ Higher-Ups.”
Lin Ye put on a pair of black sunglasses (bought specifically to look cool).
A cocky curve curled at the corner of his mouth.
“Tremble, Tokyo.”
“I’m here.”
“This time, I’m going to stir up this stagnant pool completely!”
He strode toward the station.
His steps were firm, and his aura was fully unleashed.
Passing high school girls turned their heads one after another, whispering.
“Hey, hey, look at that handsome guy!”
“So cool!”
“Is he a trainee from some agency?”
Lin Ye felt great listening to these discussions.
However.
Just as he was about to step through the station’s ticket gate.
A middle-aged man in a black suit and glasses, looking timid and subservient, suddenly blocked his path.
The man was drenched in sweat, constantly wiping it with a handkerchief.
“Um…”
“Are you Mr.
Lin Ye?”
Lin Ye stopped and looked at the man through his sunglasses.
Ijichi Kiyotaka.
Assistant Supervisor of Jujutsu High.
Also the most pitiful corporate slave in the whole series.
“It’s me.”
Lin Ye answered indifferently.
“What can I do for you?”
Ijichi swallowed hard, clearly intimidated by Lin Ye’s aura.
But he still braced himself and said:
“Um…
I was sent by Mr.
Gojo Satoru.”
“He said…
if you’re going to Tokyo, you don’t need to buy a ticket.”
“A private car has already been prepared.”
Lin Ye raised an eyebrow.
“Oh?”
“That Blindfold Monster is actually quite thoughtful.”
“Where’s the car?”
Ijichi pointed to a high-end black sedan parked by the roadside.
“Right over there.”
“And…”
Ijichi hesitated, as if he had something difficult to say.
“And what?” Lin Ye asked.
“And Mr.
Gojo said…”
Ijichi was on the verge of tears.
“He said there’s a surprise for you in the car.”
“He hopes you can…
survive until you reach Tokyo.”
Lin Ye: “???”
Survive until Tokyo?
What does that mean?
Is this car heading to the underworld?
A sudden sense of foreboding welled up in Lin Ye’s heart.
But he didn’t back down.
“Interesting.”
“Then let me see exactly what this surprise is.”
Lin Ye strode toward the black car.
He pulled open the car door.
And sat inside.
And then.
“Bang!”
The car door was quickly closed and locked by Ijichi.
Lin Ye looked at the other person in the back seat.
When he saw that person’s face clearly.
He was completely stunned.
