章 3: The Kyoto General Hospital 1.
Contrary to what Kyoto General Hospital should be at this time of evening, it was completely dark, the traditional white paint replaced by a bright red color on the walls.
In the darkness, bodies could be seen scattered throughout the hallways, and if you listened closely, you could hear whispers spreading through the air.
The putrid smell wasn't the scariest thing in the hospital, but rather the number of moving shadows.
Along the way from the first floor, monsters, or rather cursed spirits of various sizes and shapes, moved synchronously towards the third floor.
In front of the only room lit up, where electricity still functioned normally, cursed spirits filled the entire hallway.
From first-grade cursed spirits standing directly in front of the door to third-grade ones at the end of the hallway, cursed spirits continued to pour in from outside.
The only thing keeping them from entering the room was the same thing that drew them to the hospital in the first place.
Usually, cursed spirits instinctively remain in their birthplaces, but driven by power, they were drawn due to the amount of cursed energy emanating from inside the room. Standing before the door was the most they could reach.
Inside the room, oblivious to the situation outside, the mother still slept from exhaustion after giving birth, next to her a peacefully sleeping newborn.
Without a doubt, this child was Onoki reincarnated anew, and undoubtedly, he was the one responsible for the incident that would later be known as "the Great Fire of Kyoto General Hospital".
Outside the hospital, just a few hundred meters from the entrance, many curses from the fourth and third grades, and even the second, were killed by Jujutsu sorcerers from Kyoto High School and various clans.
Directly in front of the hospital, Yoshinobu Jakuganji stood next to Zeinin Naobito.
After giving orders to sorcerers from various directions, the two entered the hospital with heavy hearts.
"This cursed energy makes me nauseous. This hatred and murderous desire make me feel like I'm being led to the gallows"
Naobito said, though his slight smile betrayed his words. However, if you looked closely, you could see sweat accumulating on his face.
Carrying a guitar on his back, Yoshinobu lightly replied, "This might be the last time we fight like this. Are you sure you want to go inside? You can wait here for reinforcements."
"The Gojo clan will arrive shortly, and you can enter with them."
"Hush, old man. You really know how to play on the nerves. If we weren't in such a situation, I would have hit you by now,"
Naobito said, advancing towards the entrance, and the old man quickly followed suit.
Shhhhh!
As soon as they set foot inside the hospital, they were greeted by the sight of many curses gathered together.
"It's time to shake some bones," Yoshinobu said after retrieving the guitar from behind him.
Curses that thought they had found new prey were hit by the cursed energy emanating from them. In that split second, they were already killed.
The sound waves from the guitar left grooves carved into the ground on their way to the remaining cursed spirits.
These curses of the third and fourth grades were unable to withstand such attacks and evaporated into the air immediately.
"It seems you still maintain your fitness, old man. But ultimately, they are just a few third and fourth-grade curses," Naobito scoffed after watching Yoshinobu cleanse the curses on the first floor and head towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
Most of the curses on the second floor were of the third grade and didn't pose much of an obstacle for the duo before reaching the third floor.
Now, the cursed energy in the air was thicker for Naobito and Yoshinobu to breathe calmly. Their intestines churned around each other in an attempt to expel what they had consumed before.
The cursed energy around them felt like hundreds of needles pricking their skin hundreds of times.
With determined faces, the two continued to advance down the corridor.
The other curses on this floor were destroyed by two first-grade curses standing in front of the only illuminated room on the entire floor.
Upon seeing this, the two knew that their goal was inside the room, but to reach it, they had to pass the two curses first.
"I'll take the raven-like curse, and you can deal with the doll-like curse," Naobito said seriously.
He wasn't afraid of the curse specifically, as it would take him at most a quarter of an hour to cleanse it. What worried him was what they would have to deal with after solving the curses.
Yoshinobu didn't have time to respond to Naobito when the curses moved towards them as if their enemies had already been identified. The doll-like curse was already in front of Yoshinobu.
"Play...with me"
the words came out mechanically from the doll's mouth as it threw a punch, which was intercepted by Yoshinobu. However, the force behind that punch was great, sending him flying through the window out of the hospital.
As for Naobito, he penetrated the ground with the raven-like curse's body as he laughed loudly.
Outside the hospital, Yoshinobu stood against the doll-like curse. It had a beautiful face, yellow hair, and a traditional princess dress. Despite Yoshinobu's short stature, the doll only reached his waist.
"Play... with me... plaaaaay...with meeeee"
the cursed spirit rushed towards Yoshinobu with force and in less than a second, covered half the distance between them.
However, it was met with sound blades.
With a strong step on the ground, the cursed spirit barely managed to evade, then charged again.
'It seems to be a cursed spirit specialized in physical strength and agility, with no notable intelligence except for basic instincts'
'Without a cursed technique, it shouldn't be difficult to kill it '
Yoshinobu thought quickly and refocused on the cursed spirit, which was just one meter away.
A strong fist heading towards Yoshinobu was deflected using the guitar enhanced with cursed energy.
High-level cursed tools aren't something easily broken, especially after he reinforced it with his own cursed energy.
However, the cursed spirit's attack didn't end there. By directing her hand forward, there was a hole where a massive amount of condensed cursed energy gathered.
With no means of defense, as the cursed spirit held onto the guitar tightly, Yoshinobu had no choice but to bolster his defense and face the attack head-on.
A beam of blue cursed energy burst in front of Yoshinobu directly.
"This... is... your... punishment... for... not... playing... with... me..." the cursed spirit exclaimed.
What the cursed spirit failed to notice, however, was that Yoshinobu's grip on the guitar remained strong.
From the smoke emerged Yoshinobu's calm voice.
"Well, did you have to make an old man like me work hard on a day like this? I still have to deal with the source of this nauseating cursed energy."
With that said, the smoke cleared around Yoshinobu's head. He was still intact after taking the attack head-on, though the edges of his beard were slightly singed.
"I've been trying to grow a beard for some time now. But seeing how you caused it to burn, that's an enough reason for me to torture you for the next hundred years."
The curse watched as Yoshinobu released one of his hands from the guitar and slowly reached to the side of the curse's head, precisely to where the ear should be.
Despite Yoshinobu's slow movement, the curse couldn't move. There was a massive pressure from the cursed energy constantly pressing on it, preventing it from moving an inch.
Yoshinobu's hand settled on the side of the curse's head, and the last thing the curse heard was the activation of his cursed technique.
[Cursed Technique: Human Megaphone: Partial Amplification]
With a snap of his fingers, massive sound waves were created, destroying everything around them. The glass windows of surrounding buildings shattered, and cracks appeared in the concrete walls.
In the center of the explosion, only the old man Yoshinobu remained, carrying his guitar on his back. There was no trace of the cursed spirit as it was completely destroyed.
After ensuring everything was okay, he dusted off his clothes and headed towards the entrance of the hospital.

I don't know the name of Yoshinobu Jakuganji's cursed technique, so I named it [Human Megaphone]. If you know it, write it in the comments.
"For Conversations"/ 'For Thoughts'/ [For Techniques].
I have a question for you, guys
Since Gojo can communicate with others and hear others speak during the activation of "Infinity," does this mean that sound can penetrate "Infinity"?
And can Yoshinobu Jakuganji's technique harm Gojo during the activation of his technique?
I'll wait for your answers in the comments, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts.
