Jujutsu Kaisen: I Made Sukuna Owe 100 Million Yen

Exchange No. 8, inside the store.

Lynn stood in front of the full-length mirror and adjusted her newly tailored dark gray suit vest.

Now, after being transformed by the [Superior Physique], he has a tall and slender figure with smooth, yet not exaggerated, muscle lines, and is full of explosive power.

Lynn pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at the counter in front of him.

There lay quietly a weapon that had just been "purchased" from the system store.

To buy it, Lynn practically emptied all the working capital he had just earned from baseball betting and merchandise sales.

Points Balance: 3,032

[Superior Spell Tool - Golden Law]

It looks just like an ordinary gentleman's cane.

It is about 95cm long and has a matte black finish.

The staff is entirely black, giving it a heavy and indestructible appearance.

The handle is made of gold and designed as a combination of a "balance scale" and a "coiled serpent", with two scarlet gems inlaid in the serpent's eyes.

【Artifact Name: Superior Artifact - Golden Law】

【Origin: Exchange No. 8】

[Type: Top-grade Spell Tool]

【Cursed Tool Effect: 1. Accumulation: When the weapon is sheathed, the cursed tool will automatically absorb and store the kinetic energy and impact force generated by each parry and strike, converting it into "kinetic energy debt".

2. Settlement: The moment the sword is drawn, all accumulated "kinetic energy debt" will erupt at once, attaching itself to the first strike, causing several times or even dozens of times the destructive power.

Price: 1,000 points.

[Note: In negotiation, you can use either a silver tongue or a shrewd stick.]

After tidying up his equipment, Lynn picked up the staff called "Golden Law" and tapped it lightly on the ground.

Besides its powerful effects, the impressive look of this cane sword is also a reason why I was drawn to it.

"Shunping, is the car ready?"

"Alright, boss!"

Yoshino Junpei's energetic voice came from outside the door.

"Let's go."

……

The entrance of the vocational college.

Fushiguro Megumi, carrying a bag of magical tools, was preparing to leave the school gate with a solemn expression.

He had just received news of his sister Tsumiki's curse breaking out, and was extremely anxious, not even planning to call Itadori and Kugizaki.

"Kuro!"

Itadori and Kugizaki caught up, panting heavily.

"You idiot! Where do you think you're going all by yourself?!"

Kugizaki grabbed Fushiguro by the collar.

"We were accomplices!"

"This time is different..." Fushiguro Megumi gritted her teeth, "It's too dangerous, and it's my personal matter..."

"squeak--"

A black minivan glided smoothly in front of the three of them, blocking their way.

The car window slowly rolled down.

The young man in the driver's seat, dressed in a black suit and tie with his hair neatly combed, was revealed.

"Yoshino...Junpei?"

Itajō stared wide-eyed. "What's with this outfit? Going on a blind date?"

Shunping today has shed her former gloom and naivety.

Wearing tactical sunglasses, he looked like a capable ace bodyguard.

"I'm here to drive."

Shunping adjusted his sunglasses and said in an extremely professional tone:

"The boss said this is called corporate image."

"The boss?"

Before the three could react, the back door slid open automatically.

Lynn sat in the leather chair, his hands clasped together, leaning on his black gentleman's cane, a smile that was hard to decipher.

"Get on the bus, everyone."

"Where...where to?" Fushiguro Megumi was stunned.

"Saitama Prefecture, the Eighty-Eight Bridges".

Lynn tapped the car floorboards gently with his cane.

"Don't look at me like that, Fushiguro. I am the logistics advisor of the vocational high school, and I have an obligation to ensure that the school's 'high-value assets'—that is, you—are not accidentally destroyed due to some impulsive personal reasons."

"and……"

Lynn glanced at Shunping in the passenger seat.

"This is also our new employees' first field internship."

Fushiguro Megumi was silent for two seconds before finally opening the car door and getting in.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." Lynn took out a small notebook. "I'll put the travel expenses and attendance fees on your tab."

"..."

……

Urami Higashi Junior High School, Saitama Prefecture.

Just as Lynn had predicted, the investigation process was filled with a kind of awkward, comedic adolescence.

When that group of delinquents with dyed yellow hair and riding modified motorcycles saw Fushiguro Megumi, they uniformly stubbed out their cigarettes, bowed ninety degrees, and shouted, "Fushiguro-nii, you've worked hard!"

Itadori and Kugizaki laughed so hard they rolled on the ground.

"Brother Fu Hei? Hahahaha! So this is the kind of person you are?"

Fukuro Megumi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot; he wished he could summon the Demon Lord on the spot to silence these people.

"Wonderful."

Lynn stood to the side, chuckling.

Holding the phone in his hand, the camera steadily recorded this scene.

"Shunping, make a note of this."

Lynn said to Shunping, who was holding a notebook beside him.

"If this video is sold to Maki or Gojo, the starting bid is set at 50000 yen. If it's an exclusive buyout, the price could rise to 100000 yen."

"Yes, boss! Remember, intelligence is money!" Shunping took notes earnestly.

Fushiguro Megumi: "..."

……

An investigation was conducted.

When Fushiguro Megumi learned that all the deceased had been to the "Eighty-Eight Bridges" to play a test of courage, and that Tsumiki had also been there, her face turned deathly pale.

"The trigger mechanism for the curse... is the Eighty-Eight Bridges."

Fushiguro Megumi's voice trembled.

If that's really the case, then Tsumiki is now...

"Don't panic."

A gloved hand rested firmly on Fushiguro Megumi's shoulder.

Lynn stood behind him, leaning on her cane, her gaze behind her glasses calm and profound.

"Panic will only impair your judgment, which will hasten your sister's death."

"Let's go."

Lynn turned and looked at the long-abandoned bridge spanning the river in the distance.

Under the setting sun, the bridge looked particularly eerie.

"Let's go and see for ourselves."

The group arrived under the bridge.

The place is overgrown with weeds and has a gloomy atmosphere.

Just as Fukuro was about to form a hand seal to summon the Jade Dog to search for clues, Lynn suddenly raised his cane and stopped him.

"Keep the change, please."

Lynn walked to a spot under the bridge pier and gently tapped the ground with the tip of his cane.

"Thump."

The sound was dull, not like striking the ground, but more like striking an invisible drumhead.

"This is the boundary."

Lynn squinted.

In his superior perception, the spatial structure here was extremely unstable.

He turned his head and looked at Fushiguro Megumi.

"The entrance is right here. As long as you cross the boundary between life and death—that is, jump down from above—you can enter the barrier."

Lynn pushed up his glasses, his tone becoming serious.

"Shunping".

"Here!" Shunping stood at attention.

"Stay close to me during this operation."

Lynn's gaze swept across the deep, dark area beneath the bridge.

"I have a strange, bad feeling about this."
