[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

Tianyuan is missing.

The first person to discover that something was wrong was the person in charge of the general directorate who used communication equipment and Tianyuan to report the work of the "window" and the status of the barriers of various confidential offices in Neon.

It is not uncommon for a message to be sent but not received a reply from Tianyuan until two or three days later.

After all, after staying in the dark underground for hundreds of years, as you age, your body can be reset through astral plasma, but your soul will always age.

It's normal to feel lazy and absent-minded occasionally.

But this time, the 'perfect container' Yuji Itadori was inexplicably separated from his symbiosis with Ryomen Sukuna after being in danger, and the two Sukuna fingers that were originally swallowed by it also disappeared.

The top brass of the general directorate wanted to know what exactly happened in the account, so they wanted to find out through the source of all barrier techniques - that is, Tianyuan himself.

Ask if it is possible to 'call up' what He 'saw' during the duration of the account on that day.

However, the urgent inquiry message sent this time fell on deaf ears, and during the period, he tried to make a phone call but received no response.

Finally, on the third day, without receiving any response, the liaison person sent by the General Directorate rushed to the Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

Accompanied by the principal Yega Masamichi, the two entered the Hongxing Palace deep underground.

Surprisingly, they encountered no obstacles along the way.

Even the barrier leading to Tianyuan's living room under the big tree that had grown for hundreds of years in Hongxing Palace disappeared without a trace.

The two looked at each other and felt that something was wrong, so after they carefully entered the room to investigate, they found that Tianyuan had disappeared.

You must know that the barriers in the secret places of the entire sorcery world, and even the "accounts" set by sorcerers before exorcising cursed spirits, are all based on the original existence of Tianyuan.

Nowadays, the barriers in other places have not disappeared due to Tianyuan's disappearance. Even the barrier outside Tokyo High School still exists.

But Tianyuan is missing!

He did not leave any words behind, and there were no signs before the incident. The only suspicious thing was that there was some faint remnant of cursed power left in the room where he existed.

Either the spell power itself was very weak, or it was processed in some special way by someone in advance.

In order to ensure the safety of the students, the spell power of all sorcerers entering and leaving Tokyo Jujutsu High School will be recorded.

Once a person with unfamiliar magical powers enters or leaves, the barrier outside the high school will sound an alarm, and all personnel currently inside the high school will hear it.

But the reality is that there was nothing abnormal about the barrier, but Tianyuan himself disappeared out of thin air.

Thus, there are two inferences:

First, Tian Yuan no longer wanted to "confine" himself for some reason, and decided to leave on his own without being discovered by anyone.

Second, Tianyuan was kidnapped by someone whose cursed power was recorded. He even removed the last layer of protective barrier without any preparation, but was attacked by the person who came.

Under the premise that the barriers in various places still exist today and sorcerers can still use the "tent", the top management of the General Directorate still believes that Tianyuan himself is not dead.

As to whether he wanted to leave on his own or was forcibly abducted, the senior executives of the General Directorate had different opinions.

But the only thing that is certain is that this news must be kept secret and Tianyuan must be found as soon as possible.

With the disappearance of Tengen in the past, the fact that the 'perfect container' Yuji Itadori had his two Sukuna fingers stripped off and seemed to have returned to being a normal person seems insignificant.

"Now a news story. A fire broke out in a restaurant on X Street in Nakano District. The fire has been put out. A total of 15 people, including the restaurant staff and diners, have died..."

Yuji Itadori scooped a mouthful of the gyudon with double salted and green onion beef, and the warm food filled his growling stomach.

He winked at Kugisaki Nobara who was sitting opposite him: "Such a big fire, and it came out of nowhere, is there a cursed spirit causing trouble?"

Kugisaki Nobara was eating creamy mushroom and bacon pasta on her plate. She shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Who cares? We just need to practice hard and improve our strength."

"Didn't Senior Panda invite us to participate in a friendly exchange match with students from Kyoto Jujutsu High School a few days ago?"

At this point, her eyes began to light up. "What do you think of the students at Kyoto High School, our so-called 'sister school'?"

"I want to have a good sparring match with them. I heard that as long as they don't kill anyone, they can do anything."

Yuji Itadori also took into account the other party's 'fantasy': "Teacher Ieiri has already given me a full body check-up, and now I'm completely normal. I don't have to worry about when that guy will come out and use my body to kill people at will--"

"So, maybe I can meet new sorcerers and make more friends at this exchange meeting."

Kugisaki Nobara showed disdain: "I heard that the education there is quite feudal, and it may not be compatible with us...Besides, isn't having me and Fushiguro enough?"

Yuji Itadori scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly, "As for friends, there is no such thing as too many."

Fushiguro Megumi slowly picked up a piece of pork and ginger grilled food, and looked away from the fire scene on the TV news: "There will be no exchange meeting this year."

"Huh? Why?"

Amused by the shocked faces of his two classmates, Fushiguro Megumi calmed down and whispered, "Inside information."

"cut--"

Kugisaki Nobara didn't buy it, and openly condemned her half-hearted behavior, "Stop keeping us in suspense, just tell us now."

Megumi Fushiguro didn't want to tell his two peers the source of his information, which was from his cheap father whom he only saw a few times a year.

Although he didn't know how the other party learned the news of Lord Tianyuan's disappearance, he also warned him that it was a turbulent time and he must be careful.

Although he thought that such news, which was enough to cause a sensation in the world of sorcery, would not be kept secret for too long, he did not want to bring himself into trouble.

What's more, if these two guys asked about the source of the information, he didn't want to talk about his affairs with his unreliable father, or even involve the past of the Chanyuan family.

So after considering many things, Fushiguro Megumi just said a perfunctory sentence without giving any details: "It's probably about Ryoumen Sukuna's missing finger, for safety reasons."

"In the report you submitted earlier, didn't you say that you encountered a mysterious man wearing a black cloak and a black mask that day?"

Kugisaki Nobara nodded: "Ah, there was such a person, but it was that person who saved me."

"I had almost run out of nails and was nearly eaten by a cursed spirit... The other party shouldn't be a bad guy, right?"
