Fushiguro Megumi stared in disbelief at the scene before her.

The special-grade cursed spirit seemed to have seen something incomprehensible, frozen in place, and even let out a threatening growl.

"Lin... En? How did you get in?"

Fukuro Megumi's voice was somewhat hoarse. How did he get in? This is the domain of a top-tier cursed spirit; even the exit is sealed!

"As expected, this cursed spirit, which has strength but lacks wisdom, will instinctively make me, an ordinary person bound by rules, wary."

Lynn didn't look at the top-tier cursed spirit that was so close at hand. Instead, he turned around and quietly stared at Fukuro Megumi. "It's just a minor function of that card."

"Since you've already torn up that business card, it means you're going to make a deal with me."

Lynn extended a finger and shook it gently. "I can help you out of your predicament and save your life and that one-handed boy's life. But you will have to pay the price."

"Wh...what price?" Fushiguro asked breathlessly.

Lynn pointed to the shadow beneath Fushiguro Megumi's feet, "I want you to summon a certain shikigami unconditionally for my use someday in the future, whenever I need it. No matter what that shikigami is, even if it's that... big guy you were trying to summon."

Fukuro Megumi's pupils dilated in shock.

This guy... really knew about the existence of Mo Xu Luo!

"roar--!!"

The ignored top-tier cursed spirit finally reached its limit.

It roared and charged forward, its pale hand imbued with a cursed power capable of slicing through steel, aiming straight for Lynn's head. It moved so fast it left afterimages in the air.

"Watch out behind you!!" Fushiguro Megumi shouted, instinctively trying to form hand seals.

However, Lynn didn't even turn his head. He just looked at Fukuro Megumi, waiting for an answer.

"Did you make the deal?"

The deadly wind had already ruffled Lynn's tousled hair, and the claws of the Superior Cursed Spirit were only centimeters away from his neck.

"Deal!!" Fushiguro Megumi roared. No matter the cost, as long as Itadori and Kugizaki could be saved!

At that very moment, Lynn snapped his fingers.

"The contract is established."

[Transaction complete!]

[Item Acquired: The right to use one of Fushiguro Megumi's shikigami.]

[System estimate: 5000 points.]

Current balance: 5570 points

boom--!

There was no explosion of magical energy clashing; only a dull metallic clang echoed throughout the area.

Fushiguro Megumi's eyes widened.

Countless golden chains appeared out of thin air, like living pythons, instantly piercing through the chest, limbs, and head of the top-grade cursed spirit, freezing it in mid-air!

Those were not chains made of magical power; the aura flowing across them was ancient and majestic—that was… “rules.”

In this world called Jujutsu Kaisen, "binding" is an absolute law. And Lynn's cheat ability is to weaponize this law.

"According to Exchange Rule No. 8: All creditors of debtors are under the absolute protection of the exchange until the debt is paid off."

Lynn turned around, and the black folding fan snapped open, blocking the twisted and struggling face of the Superior Cursed Spirit.

"This kid owes me a huge sum of money. Until he pays it all back..."

"I can't die."

sizzle-

The golden chains tightened, and the top-tier cursed spirit let out a shrill scream. Its immense cursed power was completely powerless in the face of the "rules".

"What... what kind of technique is this?" Fushiguro Megumi was stunned.

Without hand seals or incantations, just a single sentence and a snap of the fingers, and the top-tier cursed spirit that had driven him to despair was nailed to the wall like a painting.

"It's just a businessperson's way of protecting themselves."

Lynn closed his folding fan. Although he appeared calm and collected, his hands, hidden in his sleeves, were actually trembling slightly.

This was the first time he had used the highest level of the "forced breach of contract" function, and his heart was bleeding as he watched the points being deducted.

[WARNING! Lethal attack detected!]

Triggering the "Creditor Protection Mechanism" requires 5000 points per 5 minutes.

Five minutes.

Lynn turned to look at Fuhei Hui, "I can only stop it for five minutes. Take that girl who fell into the pit and get out of here."

"As for the one with the missing hand, keep him here; I have something to say to him."

"But you..." Fushiguro Megumi hesitated, "You're all alone..."

"roll."

Lynn's voice suddenly turned cold and left no room for argument, "Don't make me lose money."

Fukuhei gritted his teeth and gave Lynn a deep look. Although Lynn's back was thin, it seemed incredibly tall at that moment.

"I understand! Thank you!"

Fushiguro Megumi turned and rushed into the darkness. Although his shikigami (Hun) was dead, he still had other shikigami to search for Kugizaki.

Watching Fuhei leave, Lynn finally breathed a sigh of relief, his inscrutable demeanor instantly crumbling.

"Cough cough..."

He coughed twice, covering his mouth, his palms sweating profusely. "Damn... pretending to be cool is exhausting. This top-tier weapon is much tougher than I expected; 5000 points only locked it for five minutes."

He looked up at the super-grade cursed spirit that, though nailed down, was still struggling frantically, trying to break the chains with brute force.

The golden chains have begun to crack.

"Is he about to break free?"

Lynn did not run away.

"Since we've already spent the money, how can we not get some of it back?"

Lynn pulled out the colorful "Rubik's Cube" from his pocket—the Prison Gate (a replica). Although it was just a fake used to scare people, its core material was still a special crystal capable of containing curse power.

This replica is also the source of his confidence to come here today and solve the problem.

Lynn was always a person who planned things out before acting.

He walked up to the Supreme Spell Spirit and held up the Rubik's Cube.

"In this way, the plan is perfectly completed."

"A top-tier cursed spirit, I wonder how many points it'll sell for, hehehe..."

However, at that moment...

A chilling aura suddenly swept over me from behind. It wasn't the oppressive power of a top-tier cursed spirit, but rather the purer, more malevolent aura of... the King of Curses.

"interesting."

A lazy and arrogant voice echoed in the empty space.

"It's unbelievable that someone can suppress the instincts of the soul with something as trivial as a 'contract'."

Lynn's hand froze in mid-air.

He slowly turned his head around.

Not far away on the pipe, Hisahito Itadori, whose severed hand had been gone, had somehow stood up. His tattoos had turned into black stripes, his severed hand had regenerated, and he now had compound eyes beneath his eyes.

Two-sided Su Nuo.

"Itadaki must have given his body to Sukuna before he passed out, he's just making things worse..."

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Lynn's forehead.

The disruption to his plan caused him a moment of panic, but he quickly calmed down and his mind raced.

Su Nuo was watching Lynn and the golden chains that were trapping the special-grade cursed spirits with great interest.

"Hey, kid."

Su Nu grinned, revealing a cruel smile. "Your technique is quite interesting."
