"It hurts..."
"Have you been scared out of your mind?!"
It was the first time that Satoru reprimanded a person loudly with such a harsh voice.
He was so frightened by Rina's mindless behavior just now that his heart almost stopped beating, she was so brave that she actually wanted to use herself as a test product.
"Eat this."
Satoru took a drop of blood from Akira's wound and brought it to Rina's mouth and said, "Trust me, you will be fine, I can be sure this is the antidote."
Rina's consciousness was already a little blurry.
The moment she was bitten, she already regretted her actions, thinking that she shouldn't use her own life to stand out, but it was too late to regret.
At this moment, like a rusty machine, her movements became very slow, and it took a full ten seconds to bring her mouth close to Satoru's fingers.
She lightly stuck out her tongue and licked Satoru's fingers.
For some reason, her mouth opened automatically, and the fishy smell almost made Rina roll her eyes!
"Vomit…"
"Don't throw up, sit down and rest for a while."
Satoru helped her to the chair next to him.
After more than ten minutes, Rina's consciousness gradually became clear, and her arm was no longer hurting. When she looked at her body, she didn't appear to be swollen or poisoned. There was nothing life-threatening.
'This thing works!'
Rina was pleasantly surprised and wanted to collect blood and send it to her teammates, but Satoru pushed her against the wall and forced her to look at him.
"Rina, what's your last name?"
"I don't have a surname... my sister and I are both orphans."
"Then your sister is the only family member you have. Have you ever thought about what will happen to your sister after you die on impulse? She will never forgive herself in her life, just like Terumi Mei once did, she will hate herself why she took a little rest and didn't stopped you."
"I…"
Before she could speak further, she was interrupted again by Satoru.
"If you don't have the corresponding strength, don't try to be brave, that's not called being a hero, it's called being stupid. I hope you won't be a stupid person anymore."
Satoru's eyes were very cold, as if he was interrogating a prisoner, which made Rina feel guilty.
Perhaps it was the cold aura on Satoru's body that scared Rina to the point of crying, so Satoru couldn't continue to reprimand her and could only sigh helplessly. He stroked her hair and said, But your courage is at least commendable, go to the medical department, I already know what this person is, after your Mizukage wakes up, we will solve this matter together."
"Will there be no more deaths in the village?"
"Well… he is the murderer, never mind, just go."
Intuition told Rina that Satoru seemed to have a lot to say, but she didn't stayed there to try to get answers from him, she had to save lives first using the antidote.
In the afternoon, Terumi Mei woke up, and along with Mina, she came to the prison.
They heard that Satoru already knew who the murderer was and knew the inside story.
"What exactly happened?"
"He is cursed. Curses are an unnatural force. It is difficult to explain, but it can indeed make him look like this. As for those who were killed by him, it is estimated that their life-force was absorbed and collected somewhere."
Although the answer given by Satoru was not particularly long, it contained too much information.
Both Mina and Rina looked in disbelief, because curses was indeed something beyond their cognition.
Terumi Mei didn't speak, she lowered her head and frowned, she obviously didn't just believe it, but she had to let Satoru finish her sentence.
She was thinking about how to ask the answer with the fewest questions and avoid Satoru's impatience.
"Why can you be sure this is a curse?"
"Because I can smell the curse in his blood."
In this world, no one knew curses better than Satoru, he could smell the curse on Terumi Mei before everyone else, and he could also smell the curse in this person's blood.
"Then why did he killed others? For their life-force?"
"To put it simply, it's enough to treat him as a "tool". He sucked the lives of one person after another, but I still don't know where the sucked life-force was sent to and to whom? Who is the real culprit behind the scenes?"
When the last sentence was said, a gust of wind blew from nowhere in the originally closed cell, and a coolness climbed up from the soles of their feet, making them unable to move as if they were nailed to a pillar.
"The murderer behind the scenes... In other words, there may be another Hayano Akira, right?"
He was just a tool, and it doesn't matter if he was caught. Since the real culprit behind the scenes was able to get one tool, he could get a second tool.
Satoru said, "I don't know if this person is innocent or not, but he has lost his life as a human, and it is impossible for him to recover."
He could be sure that the curse on Akira would disappear the moment his life ends, and he might not find any clues at all.
(T.L Note: Shouldn't his Rikugan help him in that?)
The more this kind of things happened, the more Satoru was inspired with some kind of strange fighting spirit.
Since the Kento's death, the word "curse" had appeared around him with extremely high frequency. It's hard not to think that there was someone deliberately trying to pull himself into a game.
Why?
Why was it him?
Why wasn't it be someone with better control, or someone with more desires?
Before he knew it, Satoru came to that cliff.
Yamada took his own life there, and the murderer was Obito.
At the beginning they made a bet that if the curse was lifted, Obito would not kill that team member, but to this day, Satoru still doesn't know why Obito killed that person.
Satoru took out a strip-shaped object wrapped in layers of gauze, and bursts of coercion emanating from it, even if it was as strong as Satoru, it could not be underestimated.
After opening, Sukuna's fingers on both sides lay quietly in his hands.
Ryomen Sukuna, which was the strongest sorcerer in the world of jujutsu, and also the strongest curse. Now that he came out, what kind of changes will it bring in the future?
'If I want to find clues and find the truth, do I have to get involved more actively?'
Inexplicably, Satoru thought of the way Rina used her own life as a test subject. She first came into contact with death before she could determine whether she could escape death or not.
Satoru held his fingers tightly and looked up into the distance.
After looking at it for a long time, his expression remained the same, and he ate that thing calmly.
