Transmigrated as Sukuna, but the Host is Yukinoshita?

Chapter 54 – Silence, Tonight’s Tokyo

“What a surprise.”

Not only Hachiman Hikigaya, but even Satoru Gojo was rubbing his chin in astonishment.

The invisible strike had undoubtedly originated from Ryomen Sukuna’s techniques.

How long had the young girl, Yukinoshita Yukino, been a vessel? Could her body already carry Ryomen Sukuna’s natural technique?

If Satoru Gojo only knew that Lin Qi had been on Yukinoshita Yukino for less than two weeks, he would be just as shocked as Hachiman Hikigaya would be.

Yukinoshita Yukino was able to use Lin Qi’s techniques in such a short time not just because the system quietly promoted the integration of their bodies and souls, but also because of the harmonious relationship between them.

If the girl had strongly resisted Lin Qi’s presence, it would have been difficult for her to achieve this integration, even with the system’s unseen assistance.

This single black flash finally ignited and exploded after two weeks of沉淀 (sedimentation).

The battle continued.

The wound was too shallow.

The surprised expression on the girl’s face flashed past, before she refocused on the fight at hand.

Though Yukinoshita Yukino had successfully executed Lin Qi’s cutting technique, the impact on the shadow cursed spirit wasn’t significant; it didn’t lose an arm but rather had its arm severed by more than half, still slightly connected to its shoulder.

No flesh was seen under the cut; the wound continued to flow with shadows, which soon regrew the arm as if nothing had happened.

Yukinoshita Yukino landed on the rooftop, while the shadow cursed spirit recovered from her attack, swinging a massive palm towards her small human form.

The girl raised her hand again, and the invisible slicing arrays flew over, severing all five claws of the cursed spirit, but the palm descended nonetheless, splintering the ground beneath her feet. Yukinoshita Yukino fell along with countless fragments into the corridor as angry roars came from above, shaking the stones beneath her.

She rushed down the narrow corridor, black shadows quickly advancing. Sharp claws swept past where she stood a second ago, slicing cleanly through the building.

As the main structure of the orphanage couldn’t withstand the intensity of this battle, it had already been heavily damaged, now riddled with holes and teetering dangerously.

After the cursed spirit’s attack, Yukinoshita Yukino used cutting technique to slash the ceiling open and returned to the rooftop.

“Stop wasting time, and destroy the core of its jujutsu energy directly,” Lin Qi commanded.

He wasn’t surprised she could use his techniques, as it was just a matter of time.

He was more interested in how many积分 points the準一级咒灵 (quasi-grade 1 cursed spirit) might bring.

“I understand.” Yukinoshita Yukino headed toward the shadow cursed spirit as soon as she landed, avoiding several attacks, then arrived directly below the cursed spirit.

She leaped high into the air, her fair and soft hand gently pressing against the cursed spirit’s chest. She muttered, “Bastard!”

With jujutsu-infused continuous strikes, she slashed through the cursed spirit’s chest, creating a large gaping hole straight through its heart.

Like a prime minister’s broad-minded spirit, the cursed spirit’s body froze, then collapsed under its own weight, smashing onto the rooftop. The entire building finally couldn’t support further impact, collapsing with a resounding crash and dust.

“Is it over?” Hachiman Hikigaya stared wide-eyed, but the dust obscured everything.

“It is over,” Satoru Gojo said, taking steps forward.

It wasn’t long before Yukinoshita Yukino emerged from the dust, waving off some of it while coughing lightly.

Points acquired: 28400

Five thousand points earned, great!

Lin Qi gained tremendously from this, and Yukinoshita Yukino was able to deploy black flash and her own techniques.

“Good job, well done,” Satoru Gojo congratulated Yukinoshita Yukino, clapping. “Wow, what a thrilling battle.”

Praising the girl, he didn’t forget to console another boy who fought until his jujutsu energy depleted, patting him on the shoulder to show encouragement, “You did great too, Hikigaya.”

“Ha… thanks,” Hachiman Hikigaya replied quietly, his expression a bit odd.

They had just met, yet he was already calling him by his name. He was so familiar it reminded him of someone else…

“Please, it’s mutual,” Lin Qi said cheerfully, as if he were the one who had battled hard, “Take this friend away. Call me anytime you need something like this done.”

“Don’t rush off,” Satoru Gojo joked, stepping sideways to block Yukinoshita Yukino, “You can’t leave now.”

“What?” Yukinoshita Yukino’s facial lines darkened, and her eyes changed from clear indigo to vivid red, “What do you mean?”

“Special-grade cursed object, a finger of Sukuna is missing,” Satoru Gojo continued with a smile but a tone devoid of amusement, “To ask you bluntly, did you take it?”

“Huh?” Lin Qi paused, instinctively denying, “Why should I care if something goes missing?”

“I see, and considering how things stand now, you seem most suspicious. Would you wait here for a moment while I have Minase check the area where it was lost?”

Soruto wouldn’t let him pass, clearly determined not to let him go.

“What are you talking about?” Lin Qi’s gaze turned cold, angry at the wrongful accusation and the thought of being detained; it took every ounce of self-control not to lash out, “I’m giving you a moment, don’t push your luck.”

“Get out of my way.”

What was going on?!

Meanwhile, Hachiman Hikigaya stood to the side, utterly confused.

Were they friends or foes? Why did their interaction change so suddenly?

“My superiors are both annoying and difficult to deal with, hence…” Satoru Gojo shrugged, though his relaxed demeanor belied the tenseness tightening his muscles, ready for combat.

“Why?” Lin Qi lifted his hand, expressionless.

At that moment, Satoru Gojo’s phone in his pocket vibrated.

“Hold on,” he held up his hand to signal a pause, then pulled out his phone, checking messages.

They were from Minase: Traces of Sukuna’s finger found; picked up by a school student, I’m on the way to retrieve it.

“Heh, guess it was a misunderstanding!” Satoru Gojo sheepishly scratched his head as he moved aside, clearing the scene, “You may go, please.”

Lin Qi glanced at him contemptuously, then walked past him. The clueless Hachiman Hikigaya hurriedly followed, very aware of the gesture.

Lin Qi grabbed hold of him.

Then, the curtain slowly drew back, and they met a charmingly attractive short-haired girl at the orphanage’s entrance.

Lin Qi: “…”

Yukinoshita Yukino: “…”

Yukinoshita Yono: “…”

Hachiman Hikigaya, carried by Lin Qi: “…”

And behind them, Satoru Gojo, looking puzzled, “What…?”

…
