But people are different, especially since this is the special-grade Curse, "Two-Faced Su Nuo's Finger," a highly toxic object. Swallowing it directly, let alone gaining strong Curse Power, death is probably the only outcome...
However, before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt his hand empty. Perhaps because of excessive blood loss and severe injuries, leading to a severe drain of Physical Strength, no matter how tightly he held on, he still couldn't grasp the Curse Finger, which was bitten and pulled away by the other party.
Knowing there wasn't much time left, Yuji did not hesitate in the slightest, and tipped his head back to swallow the disgusting, dried finger whole!
This whole event, whether long or short, happened in just a few seconds, but it meant that the previously one-sided situation suddenly changed.
The gigantic Resentful Spirit didn't know what had happened, suddenly sensed the Curse's aura disappear, and clearly froze for a moment. The next second, a terrifying wave of Curse Power erupted from within the giant hand gripping a small insect, causing the entire arm to dissipate, evaporating completely like saltwater in high temperature!
Along with it, other nearby body parts also evaporated as if pencil marks were vigorously erased, disappearing from the paper.
"Cough! Cough, cough—"
Falling from mid-air and crashing heavily to the ground, Megumi Fushiguro coughed violently and spat a mouthful of blood. The impact made his vision spark with Venus, his sight went dark, and a force that usually wouldn't have been much nearly became the last straw to break the camel's back.
For a moment, he almost thought he was about to leave this beautiful world.
With his vision going dark in bursts, he tried hard to keep his eyes open. In his bloodshot view, he saw moonlight breaking through the nighttime clouds and shining down, falling upon the mountain-sized Resentful Spirit's body, giving it the last ray of light to its ignorant and chaotic consciousness.
The next moment, with Yuji's arm swinging strongly mid-air, the entire outline and presence of the gigantic Resentful Spirit were thus silently erased from existence!
"...!!"
Pupils suddenly contracted to the limit, Megumi Fushiguro knew the worst had happened.
Yuji's figure landed gently on the ground, and under the cold moonlight, the skin an inch below his eyes suddenly cracked open, revealing another pair of slender eyes, eerie and terrifying, chilling to behold.
He was no longer human…
But some sort of grotesque creature in human skin.
"Hahaha…"
The corners of "his" mouth slowly spread open, a slow and deep laughter emanating from "his" mouth, growing louder and more maniacal—
"Hahahahahahaha… The moonlight indeed feels best when experienced in person!"
The exhilarated "he" extended hands unknowingly sharpened into claws, tearing off the shirt to expose the upper body, muscles knotted, with strange tiger-like patterns all over the skin, resembling a werewolf standing upright laughing madly at the moonlight.
Under the moonlight, madness spread, a scene that could well be called a Nightmare.
"The Curse Spirit's flesh is too bland, what about humans! Women! Where are they!"
"He" turned around, looking around, all four eyes on the face gleaming with the hunger of a wolf, speaking words that were extremely shocking. Though "his" tone carried some playful, mocking hues, anyone could hear it was absolutely no joke, but truly articulating intended actions.
Then, "his" gaze, seemingly aware, moved upwards, meeting the eyes above the teaching building.
The prey had appeared!!
The cruel, cold, and slaughter-loving Two-Faced Su Nuo suddenly grew excited. Whether Curse Spirits or humans, they were merely livestock under "his" control, and to celebrate "his" return, "he" would start a feast.
That's right, Two-Faced Su Nuo had always followed only the guideline of whether "he" was happy, and this time was no exception.
Even though "he" was only one-twentieth, the essence would not change.
Thus…
Two-Faced Su Nuo slightly crouched "his" legs, then suddenly exerted force, leaving a blurred afterimage in place.
At the same time, standing above, having witnessed the entire process, Gu Mo frowned. Unlike what "he" imagined of a two-faced, four-handed Ghost God, it was just that the boy had some more tiger stripes?
Well, alright, "he" also grew another pair of eyes, but overall from texture to modeling, the change wasn't drastic.
As he thought this, an electric sound and sharp noise sparked through his mind as if a nerve was struck.
......
"Zzz…%￥#…Ren…Shi…exiting current assistant$#%&…"
......
The indiscernible, fragmented sharp noise made Gu Mo instinctively furrow his brows, simultaneously feeling his vision suddenly… well, go black.
After quite some time, he realized he might still have his eyes closed, so he opened them slowly with some confusion, his gaze slightly lost.
He looked around the dim room, paused and turned to the direction of the bedside cabinet, only to see the electronic clock's fluorescent light flashing dimly in the darkness, displaying the time as—
12:00
After a few seconds, his ability to think slowly returned.
He realized it seemed he had just woken from a dream, a new day had begun…
Wait…
Something didn't seem right?
...
...
"Hm? Escaped?"
In the swirling dust, the Two-Faced Su Nuo occupying the high school student's body uttered a perplexed note, "he" furrowed brows, surveyed the surroundings, and discovered his recent target had vanished without a trace.
"He" looked at "his" palm, a hint of bewilderment flashing through all four eyes.
Did "he" hit just now?
It seemed this question was meaningless, for judging by the result, that was indeed the case.
Recalling the scene just seconds before, when "he" ambushed the opponent, the calm, unperturbed look on the face he saw at the last moment, Two-Faced Su Nuo suddenly thought "he" understood something—
In fact, it was because it happened so fast, too suddenly, that the person involved had no idea what happened, thus "his" expression remained unchanged.
—But the same situation interpreted differently, leads to different understandings.
Given the current situation, Two-Faced Su Nuo naturally assumed that the "calm" expression was actually disdain and mockery of "his" folly.
"He's" expression darkened slowly, "he" clenched "his" fists steadily, laughing loudly into the night sky: "Hahahahahaha! Oh, I'll remember you, no one has ever been this bold…"
The next moment, the furious laughter abruptly stopped, Two-Faced Su Nuo suddenly turned towards the ground.
"Sensei!"
Megumi Fushiguro's weak yet joyful voice rang out, his irresponsible teacher finally arrived at the last moment. He thought the teacher might have gone somewhere for a night snack.
"Still didn't make it in time…" With striking white hair and standing over six feet tall, the man stood in front of his battered student, looking up at the possessed boy above. He couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret, "Is this really what that person intended?"
He could have arrived earlier, but as soon as he was near the school, the mysterious figure immediately noticed and cast a "cold" gaze.
As someone rare for even him to completely see through, and with his student right under that figure's eyes, he naturally wouldn't impulsively ignore any threat and charge in, choosing instead to stop cautiously and be ready for whatever might happen next.
But what he didn't expect was that the mysterious figure didn't make a move afterward, nor did he seize the special-grade Curse, instead leisurely watching the Ghost God's finger being swallowed by that boy, and only under Two-Faced Su Nuo's indiscriminate attack, quietly slipped away in an inexplicable way.
Could it be that this was the plan all along?
Looking at the boy possessed by Two-Faced Su Nuo above, the man also felt a headache coming on.
