Jujutsu Kaisen: I Made Sukuna Owe 100 Million Yen

Nishi-Tokyo City, Eishi Juvenile Home.

The black sedan came to an abrupt stop outside the police cordon.

"arrive."

Kiyotaka Ijichi pulled up the handbrake, adjusted his reflective glasses, and said in a calm, robotic tone, "The area ahead has been confirmed as a Class-A Cursed Embryo. Mission objective changed to survival and rescue. Once hatching is confirmed, retreat immediately."

"Although I really want to say 'Please don't die'..." He paused, a glint of absolute rationality in his eyes, "but in the face of a Special Grade, fear is the only bargaining chip for survival."

Fushiguro Megumi gave Ijichi a deep look. This assistant director, who was usually sweating profusely, seemed unusually unfamiliar today.

But he didn't have time to think about it.

"Let's go."

The trio crossed the cordon. As the dark curtain of the "tent" fell, the surrounding light was instantly swallowed up.

The moment I stepped into the dormitory building, reality crumbled.

There were no stairs or corridors at all. What lay before them was a twisted industrial maze. Huge pipes spiraled overhead like intestines.

"This is... the realm of birth."

Fushiguro Megumi's heart sank. "That thing has already hatched!"

"The door! The door is gone!" Yuujin Itadori turned around in horror, only to find that the original entrance had been replaced by a wall.

Before they could recover from their shock, the jade dog (white) suddenly let out a mournful howl.

"Something's coming!"

Fukuro Megumi turned around abruptly, only to see a huge black mouth suddenly crack open in the ground.

"Kugizaki!"

Nobara Kugizaki, standing at the very back, didn't even have time to scream before she was instantly sucked into the black vortex.

"Wild Rose!!" Itari roared, trying to pounce, but missed.

Then, that thing appeared.

It hung upside down on the pipes overhead, its body deathly pale, its face devoid of features, except for two rows of teeth like a shark's.

It simply waved its hand lightly, as if shooing away flies.

puff.

Blood splattered.

Yuji Itadori stared blankly at his left hand—it was empty, his palm and half of his forearm had been neatly severed, and blood was gushing out like a fountain.

"Ah... Ahhhhhh!!"

The excruciating pain didn't reach the brain until two seconds later.

Too fast. Too strong.

This is not a battle; it is a one-sided massacre.

Fukuro Megumi froze on the spot, his hand gesture to summon the Jade Dog frozen in mid-air. His Jade Dog (white) had its head twisted off by the white monster just moments before, and it was now embedded in the wall, dissipating into black ink.

That was absolute violence.

"Fukuguro! Run! Take Kugizaki and get out of here!" Itajira clutched his severed arm, veins bulging on his face. "I'll hold it off! As long as I'm about to die, Sukuna should show up!"

"Don't joke around!" Fushiguro Megumi gritted her teeth, "The Jade Dog is already..."

He immediately formed hand seals, attempting to summon a new shikigami to find an exit, even if it meant sending Kugizaki out first.

However, reality dealt him an even more devastating blow.

"Damn it... we can't get out!"

Fushiguro Megumi was horrified to discover that the surrounding space was completely sealed off.

Unlike ordinary realms of birth, this special-grade cursed spirit seems to have undergone some kind of mutation, completely severing the connection point to the entrance.

The butterfly effect caused by Lynn's time travel has made this cursed spirit much stronger than before.

"This is different from what Mr. Ijichi said... The strength of this Special Grade fighter far exceeds expectations!"

In that instant of distraction, the Superior Cursed Spirit let out a cry-laughter sound like a baby.

boom--!

A terrifying shockwave of cursed power struck from behind, sending Fukuro Megumi and Itajō flying more than ten meters. Fukuro Megumi crashed heavily into a load-bearing pillar, while Itajō fell unconscious.

"Cough cough..."

Fuhei coughed up a mouthful of blood and broke two of his ribs.

He struggled to lift his head, and a top-tier cursed spirit was already standing in front of him.

It’s over.

Urajima's hand was broken, Kugisaki went missing, and he himself was seriously injured.

Despair overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

At this critical moment of life and death, the scene from last night suddenly flashed through Fushiguro Megumi's mind.

……

Let's go back to the early hours of yesterday.

Lynn shook his head, silently calculating the details of his deal with Fukuro Megumi.

Tomorrow, Fushiguro Megumi will face a life-or-death crisis.

According to the original plot, Itachi will release Sukuna at a crucial moment to kill the special-grade cursed spirit.

But Lynn wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to make a deal with Fu Hei. He planned to rescue Fu Hei in exchange for something that would come in very handy at some point in the future.

He snapped his fingers, and a jet-black card appeared in his hand.

Product Name: Exchange Invitation (Reverse Version)

[Type: Consumable]

[Effect: After being torn open, the exchange owner is teleported in reverse to the user's location.]

Price: 500 points.

[Note: This invitation, modified using the power of a reversal spell, can actually teleport the host to the guest.]

This card was an item that Lynn bought with great effort after she traveled through time.

This was also preparation made a long time ago for tomorrow's plans.

So that evening, Fushiguro Megumi finished training and was on her way back to the school building.

The mysterious man in the gray vest stood next to the vending machine and handed him a black business card.

"When you realize your 'mutual destruction' is meaningless, when you realize your so-called sacrifice can't save anyone..." "Tear it apart."

At the time, he thought it was just the nonsense of a charlatan.

He didn't want to pay attention to this ordinary person who had no magical powers, but the black card gave him a very strange feeling.

As if by some strange twist of fate, he accepted the card.

When I came to my senses, the man had vanished without a trace.

……

Let's go back to the present.

Fushiguro Megumi's trembling hand reached into his pocket, his fingertips touching the hard card.

Did that man... anticipate this moment all along?

He knew he intended to use that shikigami to perish together with the opponent.

The super-grade cursed spirit raised its claws, preparing to deliver the final blow.

Fuhei Hui's eyes hardened. He didn't know if the man named Lynn was a fraud, but he had no other choice.

He didn't want to resort to a suicidal move while there was still hope.

Fukuro Megumi suddenly pulled out the business card and, with her last bit of strength, tore it in two.

tear.

Almost at the same time, on the treetops outside the juvenile detention center.

Lynn, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and the second hand of the antique pocket watch in his hand had just reached zero.

"Transaction request confirmed."

He swallowed the last bite of his Xijiufu and patted the crumbs off his hands.

"We're open for business now."

The next second, his figure vanished into thin air.

But in front of Fushiguro Megumi, the claws that should have fallen stopped in mid-air.

The originally muddy ground was now covered with a shallow layer of water, clear as a mirror.

A figure wearing a dark gray vest is slowly emerging from the void, stepping on the water.

A gentle voice suddenly rang out.

"We meet again, young master of the Zen family."
