Transmigrated as Sukuna, but the Host is Yukinoshita?

Chapter 55 – Chapter 49 Aperitif

The dilapidated orphanage in front of them could truly be considered a den of demons.

The old stone walls, rusted iron mesh installed on them, and the entrance gate that had also turned red rust made it seem like dry blood that had turned murky.

Several crows perched on electricity poles on the nearby street, emitting mournful cries, the deserted streets exuding a desolate atmosphere.

More importantly, the negative curse energy emanating from the abandoned orphanage could even be sensed by the barely proficient Hachiman Hikigaya.

“It’s not good in there, right?” he started hesitating.

“Given your current strength, it is indeed not good,” Satoru Gojo said lightly. “From grade four cursed spirits to grade two, their numbers vary, but I estimate there should be no less than thirty cursed spirits inside.”

“Are you two really capable of handling this?” Gojo expressed his doubts.

“Of course, we can’t do it,” Hachiman Hikigaya answered without a second thought.

“How do you know if you don’t try?” Yukinoshita Yukino said firmly.

Their voices rang out almost simultaneously, yet their meanings were worlds apart.

“Your students are interesting.” Satoru Gojo couldn’t help but chuckle.

“You got it wrong, this guy is not my student.”

Lin Qi, standing in the realm of birth, felt utterly disheartened as he watched with black lines drawn across his face, this dead-eye boy was making him look bad.

“Do not dawdle, let’s go in,” said Yukinoshita Yukino calmly, then she took the lead.

Hachiman Hikigaya followed, scratching his head. When did Snowy become so brave?

“It’s great, one’s aura is very important!” Satoru Gojo praised, and then followed after the two.

“Let me make this clear, this time I won’t command you anymore,” Lin Qi told Yukinoshita Yukino beforehand.

“You don’t have to mention it.” She would request this anyway. She couldn’t rely solely on Lin Qi’s commands in battles. People cannot stay in one place forever.

She placed her hand on the rusty gate of the orphanage and easily pushed it open.

As soon as his right foot stepped into the orphanage, Hikigaya Hachiman’s eyes suddenly widened, an icy chill rushed up his spine.

The chilling curse energy seemed to morph into shadowy hands erupting from the ground, trying to drag her down to hell.

“What a miserable feeling.”

Hachiman Hikigaya stepped into the orphanage, instinctively shivering. He too was affected by the overwhelming negative curse energy.

After adapting to the unpleasant sensation, Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go.”

The energy here was too thick for her to locate hidng cursed spirits through curse energy alone. They had to investigate bit by bit and avoid getting surrounded.

This orphanage was vast and had various facilities including learning, sports, medical, and entertainment areas, presumably a place that brought happiness to abandoned children before its closure.

Unfortunately, due to unwise location choices and multiple paranormal events, it had to be shut down.

On the empty square sat many carved-out tree pits, an isolated flag pole stood on the podium, appearing lifeless under the overcast sky.

“There aren’t any here either,” Yukinoshita Yukino surveyed her surroundings, finally focusing her gaze on the connected buildings. “It seems they’re all hiding inside.”

“This feels like a horror movie set… This creepy place doesn’t want anyone going in.”

Hachiman Hikigaya rubbed his arms as a chilling wind swept past, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.

Yukinoshita disregarded his protests and walked resolutely towards the buildings.

“Hold on, wait for me,” Hachiman Hikigaya observed cautiously to avoid surprise attacks by cursed spirits. But upon turning his head, he found Snowy had already traveled quite far and hastily caught up.

This woman really has a bold heart!

Without waiting for Hachiman Hikigaya to join, Yukinoshita was already at the glass doors. The locks had long been removed, and she pushed the door inward.

This was a lobby, opposite the entrance were stairs leading upstairs, with corridors on both sides. From the floor plan hanging on the wall, rooms led respectively to dormitories and dining halls.

Not only was this a central hub to various sections, but also, in one corner of the lobby, there were circular benches and tables, and toys scattered on the ground, suggesting that children often played in the spacious lobby.

Look, a child was squatting on the ground, ineptly stacking blocks.

“Calling this a child is a bit of a stretch.” After entering the lobby, Hachiman Hikigaya saw the cursed spirit, who despite having a small frame, had a very stereotyped appearance—a sphere for the head, a large cylinder for the body, and four small cylinders for limbs.

He bore a striking resemblance to a mechanical life form portrayed in *NieR*.

“Use your technique, Dead-Eye Boy,” Lin Qi appeared. Hachiman Hikigaya hadn’t noticed the effects when he used techniques on Satoru Gojo previously, he shouldn’t be ineffective against such weak-grade four cursed spirits.

Hachiman Hikigaya nodded, extending his hand towards the cursed spirit. It had already spotted them, mouth widening grotesquely, baring a menacing grin, “Want to come… together… play…”

Interrupting the incomprehensible words, as his fist clenched tightly, the cursed spirit seemed to be pressed flat by an invisible hydraulic press, sealed away in a reflective surface that spontaneously appeared.

“What a fascinating turn.”

Lin Qi moved his hand, raising his hand within the realm of birth. In reality, Yukinoshita Yukino lifted her hand, knocking on the reflective surface. Inside, the cursed spirit looked out at her with wide, innocent eyes.

Does this count as the cursed spirit being diminished?

“Can this technique be used on yourself?” Lin Qi asked curiously.

“I haven’t tried, how could I use an offensive technique on myself?” Hachiman Hikigaya broke out in cold sweat. Did Lin Qi want to force him to confine himself within the reflective surface?

“Whatever, continue,” Fortunately, Lin Qi wasn’t so fanatical. Soon, he returned to his observing position.

Hachiman Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief, launching his technique and shattering the reflective surface. The sealed cursed spirit along with the broken surface dissolved into particles and vanished in the air.

“Where next?” Hachiman Hikigaya asked after dealing with the fourth-grade cursed spirit in the lobby.

“To the dormitory,” Yukinoshita Yukino pondered the floor plan and replied after a moment.

The dormitories were located at the far left of the building structure. Exploring them first and then cleaning up other areas later would be more efficient.
