Satoru's neck seemed to be pinched by an invisible big hand, he could not speak, and even his breathing was almost stagnant.
He was very clear that the Sukuna could do this kind of thing.
'But, why hasn't he done it yet?'
"You wouldn't do that."
"How can you be sure?"
"Because you have no interest in other things. As for ideals of standing at the top of the world, it has already been completed. Such a thing has no attraction for you, but I can find other things of interest, so how about we make a deal?"
It could only be a deal, tough methods would be counter-productive.
Satoru had to find something that Sukuna was interested in.
"Heh...you are the most courageous person I have ever met. You are indeed interesting, not bad."
Not knowing if his words were a compliment, Satoru just felt a headache.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes went blank, and by the time he came to, he was already lying on the cliff.
The sky in the east has turned slightly bright, it turned out that it was already the second day.
Satoru clearly remembered that it hadn't been long since he entered that place, how could it be dawn when he came out?
'Is the flow of time inside and outside different?'
"My lord! So you are here!"
Mina trotted over and said apologetically, "My lord, Rina is impatient by nature, she doesn't mean anything else. I heard that she…"
"She just wanted to save people, I won't be angry with that."
"Well... my lord, you knew in advance that the blood was the antidote, but you didn't explain it clearly. She was also anxious in her heart… It's great if you don't get angry, but I am curious why did you know that the blood is the antidote?"
Although there was a saying that the poison and medicine goes hand in hand, but that ghost was scary at first glance, how could someone even think about using his blood as an antidote in the first place?
Perhaps Rina also cared about this issue.
"It's very simple, because I smelled the curse from his blood, Mina, from now on, 'curse' is no longer an illusory word, it really exists in this world. I should be the person who knows about this most deeply...you can go and report this to Terumi Mei if you think it is necessary."
Satoru left after finishing speaking, Mina knew that he said the last part perhaps thinking that she would doubt the relationship between him and the curse, but why would she doubt him at this point?
He obviously had so many opportunities to take advantage of others' dangers, but he still did what he promised.
He was not a bad person, and the curse could not possibly have anything to do with him.
Since he said that he was the person who knows the most about curses, then in this world, he was the only one who could suppress the emergence of curses.
When Mina went down the mountain, Satoru had disappeared.
If he didn't want anyone to find him, no one would be able to find him, just like the last time when he left without saying goodbye, Mina didn't look for him, but told the news to Terumi Mei and Rina in the office immediately.
Terumi Mei was now dealing with the issue of pensions for the dead. Hearing Mina's report, she couldn't help but think.
She had reason to believe that once such a magical power was born, it would bring a huge sensation to the whole world just like chakra did.
Everyone started learning chakra back then, so now...could they also learn how to fight the curses?
While Terumi Mei was thinking about this, Satoru had come to the border of the Land of Water.
If there was already a curse here, it meant that other countries might also have corresponding signs. It was possible that an era related to curses was really coming.
Curse or ninjutsu, which one was more powerful?
Or, could there would be people that combines the two?
There were too many issues to think about, but what Satoru needed to do most now was to go back to Konoha and talk to Tsunade about his recent discoveries, so that she could also prepare early.
When Satoru was going back, he passed a place called Flower Town.
The main business here was the Oiran Street, also known as Fireworks and Willow Lane, and one could smell a strong smell of powder just by getting close.
But it was already very late, and Satoru felt a little tired, so he chose to rest there.
After entering, Satoru was surprised by the prosperity there.
'On the border of the Land of Water, there is such a prosperous place?'
But after thinking about it, the scenery of the Land of Water was beautiful, and it was adjacent to the three nations. When ninjas and businessmen from various countries pass by, seeing such a good place, it was difficult for anyone to hold back and not take a look.
Satoru was not interested in these things at the moment, he just wanted to find a quiet place to stay, but he couldn't find a decent hotel after walking around the street for a few times. Just when he was thinking about finding a simple tavern to sleep in, he heard a burst of laughter from above my head.
"Oni-san, how about you come to play with me! That tall oni-san who is sunglass wearing!"
'Do she mean me?'
Satoru raised his head slowly, his handsome face actually made the veteran woman who have been in all kinds of scenes blush.
"Oh, this oni-san is so handsome, do you want to come and play, I'm free!"
"Don't go to her, that woman is looking for your money!"
Satoru laughed when he heard that.
The girls upstairs were laughing and pushing each other, and then someone came downstairs, trying to pull Satoru upstairs.
Seeing someone coming from that building, the other girls in the building were not to be outdone, they all wanted to bring this handsome man back to their territory.
If they have to serve people no matter what, why can't they just find someone who is more handsome?
Look at this man, he was tall and strong, with a head of glossy black hair that was a little long and tied casually behind his head, even though he was wearing the simplest black clothes, he looked perfect.
"This oni-san, come to me~"
"Don't! She has a very bad temper, she drove away several guests because of her bad temper!"
"Tch, didn't you too? I just don't want men who are not handsome!"
Their conversation made Satoru a little curious.
"What's the matter? Are you free to choose your guests here? Isn't it possible for people to hire them if they like?"
A woman pinched a handkerchief and lightly slammed Satoru's chest, and said angrily, "Onii-san, what are you talking about! The girls here are free to choose their own guests! No one can force us!"
There were really too many women here. It was not the kind of place where there were more wolves and less meat. Mutual selection was also a way of business. Some customers might spend a lot of money if the women voluntary go with them.
"I just want to find a place to sleep quietly, sisters can you let me go?"
Satoru squeezed out of the crowd with a wry smile, God knows how dizzy he was when so many women with strong make-up and deodorant came together.
