Chapter 320: The End (1)
Note: This chapter and the next one are about everyone's reaction after they mistakenly thought Lily was dead. It's a bit messy and not from the protagonist's perspective, so if you don't like it, you can skip it.
After working continuously for more than eight hours, Jia Ru Nishiko made a cup of black coffee and looked up at the environment outside the window.
Today is a cloudy and rainy day.
Ijichi Jiegao trotted over from the other side of the corridor and began to report in a low voice about a new body that had been delivered.
"I heard that he is an auditor who has not yet officially enrolled, is that right?" Having become accustomed to the occasional news of sorcerers dying in battle, Ieiri Shoko's mood did not fluctuate much.
"Yes." Ijichi held the file, pulled out a piece of paper in his hand and handed it to Ieiri Naoko, "The name is Yuushin Yuji, female, 25 years old, died in a battle with more than five special-grade cursed spirits, the reason is unknown."
"More than five?" Ieiri Naoko turned her head in surprise and asked, "How could so many special-grade ones appear at once? Did she exorcise them all?"
"Yes." Ijichi swallowed and answered, "In fact, according to the on-site investigation, the total number is probably more than fifteen. Only one curse master escaped and his whereabouts are currently unknown."
In this way, he was no less than a top-class sorcerer. It was such a pity to die like this.
"What about the unknown cause of death you mentioned?" asked Ieiri Naoko, "Didn't the people who arrived at the scene investigate?"
"About that..." Ichichi trembled as he recalled those murderous looks at the time, and said heavily, "Yes. Miss Mingming, who was called over first, has already checked it."
"Although there are no signs of life, Miss Yuji has no wounds, has never been cursed, and has no bruises or scars on her skin. She can control the power of Ryomen Sukuna and possesses a reversal technique, so... the cause of death may still have to be investigated by you."
"Is that so?" After hearing this, Ieiri Naoko nodded indifferently and said, "Okay then."
As she spoke, she stretched and muttered to herself, "With such a high talent, you can imagine how angry those two guys will be... I'll just have to work overtime."
In the dissection room, a person was lying on a bed, his clothes neatly dressed and his whole body covered by a clean white cloth.
When Ieiri Naoko reached out her hand and was about to open it, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
After frowning and pausing for a moment, she finally pulled open the white cloth and saw the dead "Yushin Itadori".
Her eyes were tightly closed, her cheeks were rosy, her skin was fair and shiny, and her pink hair was loose.
If she hadn't noticed the rise and fall of her chest and the lack of flowers around her, she would have almost thought she was hallucinating and that she was standing in the forest looking down at Sleeping Beauty.
After just a brief meeting, she lowered her eyes and suddenly let go of the white cloth.
"Eh?" Ijichi was stunned, "Ms. Ieori, you......"
"I worked a long time today and I'm a little tired," she explained. "Let's talk about it another day."
"That's right." Yijizhi breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously and echoed, "Indeed, you have worked for a long time today and you need to take a break."
As he spoke, he showed a somewhat embarrassed expression: "However, the general directorate is also urging us..."
"Let Gojo and the others talk." Ieiri Naoko turned around and said without even turning her head, "They are all top-class sorcerers, they shouldn't be unable to handle something like this."
The tone of this last sentence is a bit strong.
Ijichi couldn't help but flinch. Although Miss Jiarui was usually so calm, but... I always felt that her mood today was particularly bad...

After leaving the anatomy room, Ijichi passed by the teaching building.
I saw three first-grade students sitting on the stairs not too far away from each other, with their heads hung dejectedly, each of them looking like they had lost their parents.
Like three dogs whose heads are wet on a rainy day but have nowhere to go.
Ichichi paused.
These days, Miss Yuzhang has been taking extra care of the three children. In addition, she is Yuzhang-kun's newly recognized biological sister, so it is normal for her to have such a reaction.
"Mr. Ijichi!" The moment she saw him, Nobara Kugisaki stood up, rushed to him, and asked rapidly, "Ms. Ienori, did she... did she say anything?"
"Got it." Yijizhi shook his head. "The investigation into the cause of death may not be progressing that fast."
"Is that so?" Kugisaki Nobara let go of her hand, not knowing whether she was relieved or disappointed, and whispered, "Okay then."
"You should have let me stay." Yuji Itadori touched the back of his head, rubbed his hair into a ball, and said dejectedly, "If I had stayed........."
"Until now, I still think Sister Youxin's judgment is correct." Fushiguro Megumi said calmly, "If you stay, there will only be one more corpse, and nothing will change."
"But after all, aren't we still leaving her there alone..." There was a slight pause in Yuji Itadori's voice.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
"Fushiguro, do you need to be so rational all the time?" Yuji Itadori couldn't help but ask.
"Huh?" Fushiguro Megumi asked, "What are you talking about, do you think I'm cold?"
Yuji Itadori lowered his head and said nothing.
"What do you know?" Fushiguro Megumi stood up with a cold face and said to him, "You know nothing at all."
"Do I have to show you how I feel?" He turned around and said, "Is she just your sister?"
Obviously......
"Forget it, why am I telling you this?" He waved his hand irritably and said, "Let's go."
Yuji Itadori was stunned: "Hey, what do you mean by that?"
But Megumi Fushiguro had already left him and walked away alone.
"Maybe he's angry that you think he's so cold." Kugisaki Nobara crossed her arms, staring at the receding figure, and suddenly kicked Itadori Yuji who was still in a daze, "Hey, go and apologize to that guy quickly."
"Although you are very sad about losing your sister, he is not completely heartless." She said sullenly, "What you said just now was too much. Go and apologize to me immediately."
Yuji Itadori touched the back of his neck and murmured to himself, "That's not what I meant..."
After thinking about it, he stood up and chased in the direction where Megumi Fushiguro left.
"Mr. Ijichi." Kugisaki Nobara turned her head and looked at him, saying seriously, word by word, "If you have any clues about the guy who escaped, please tell me."
"Okay." Yidizhi touched his nose and nodded.
Although he is much younger than me, he has grown a lot after this incident.
It's really...unbearable...
"Well, bye then." As she said that, she picked up the school uniform jacket that had fallen on the ground and chased in the direction the two people had just left.
Ijichi sighed deeply, holding the documents, and continued walking towards the office.
There, two big devils in a very bad mood were waiting for him.
