The dust has settled.

The air in the underground cave was still filled with the pungent smell of blood and burnt food.

Lu Suo looked at Lynn with a strange smile in his eyes.

"Lynn".

Lu Suo stretched his arms and slowly opened his mouth.

"I'm really curious, where do you come from?"

Lynn used his cane to support his body and barely managed to lift his head.

"As I've said before, I've always just been a businessman."

Lu Suo spread his hands, and the terrifying curse pressure behind him slowly subsided.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then so be it. I acknowledge your strength, and I also acknowledge your 'greed.' A creator of chaos like you is exactly what I need in my plan."

"but……"

The conversation turned.

Lu Suo took a step toward Lynn, and the oppressive feeling that had just dissipated returned.

"Since you say you're a businessman, then let's make a deal."

Lu Suo squinted and held up two fingers.

"Two things. We need to establish [boundaries]."

"First."

Lu Suo's gaze swept over Lynn, and then over Shunping, who was standing beside him, looking terrified and desperately protecting Fukuhei.

"Everything that happened here today, especially regarding 'my' existence."

"Absolutely do not reveal this to anyone. Especially not to Gojo Satoru."

Lynn sneered inwardly.

He really is an old fox; he's still wary of Gojo Satoru.

But this suited him perfectly.

If he tells Gojo Satoru now, the Shibuya Incident might not happen, and then how will he harvest points in that grand chaos?

"Can."

Lynn agreed readily.

"I don't like to talk too much, but as long as the price is right, my mouth is tighter than a dead man's."

"And that boy over there." Lu Suo pointed to Shunping.

"Shunping, agree to his request," Lynn commanded without turning his head. "This is the price for survival."

"Yes... I swear, I will never tell!" Shunping nodded frantically, feeling like he was about to suffocate under the gaze of the two top-level experts.

A black chain of magical energy flashed through the air and wrapped around Lynn and Shunping's hearts.

"very good."

Lu Suo nodded in satisfaction, then raised his second finger.

"The second thing."

"Regarding the Two-Faced Sukuna."

"You said you would resurrect him. I'm very interested in that."

"Therefore, I want you to make a pledge: on the upcoming October 31st, Shibuya."

"You must feed all the Sukuna fingers you have collected to Hisahito Itadori."

"I want to see the complete manifestation of the 'Lord of Curses' on that day."

Upon hearing this condition, Lynn pushed up his broken glasses on the bridge of his nose, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

By having Itadori swallow a large number of fingers in Shibuya, not only can Itadori's consciousness be temporarily sealed, causing Sukuna to go berserk, but the situation can also be completely disrupted, creating chaos for sealing Gojo Satoru.

"Feed it to Khajiitsu..."

Lynn stroked his chin, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

"That's a bit of a demanding condition, Mr. Xia You."

"Fingers are a scarce resource; each one is priceless. You expect me to give them away for free?"

"This is for the arrival of a new era," Lu Suo said calmly. "And it is also the condition for your survival."

"No, no, no, that's not how you do it."

Lynn shook his head, his eyes gleaming with intense greed.

He suddenly stood up, and although his body was still swaying, his momentum was not weak at all.

"Feeding Itadori in Shibuya? No problem. I can set a bond."

"but!"

Lynn slammed his cane on the ground with a sharp crack.

Lynn stretched out a blood-stained hand and laid it out in front of the noodles.

"Give me all the Sukuna fingers you currently possess."

"These are my conditions."

The air freezes.

Shunping stared wide-eyed at his boss.

Are you crazy?!

They just finished a fight, and instead of running away, they dare to extort money from this monster?!

Lu Suo was also taken aback.

Clearly, even after living for a thousand years, this was the first time he had ever seen a guy who was so greedy for money that he didn't care about his life.

But he had originally intended to use his fingers as a condition of the deal.

He knew Lynn had been collecting fingers, but he didn't care what his purpose was, as long as he could revive Su Nuo.

If not given the money, Lynn might refuse to be bound, or even hide her fingers or sell them to a vocational college.

If they are given, since there is a "binding" effect, these fingers will eventually end up in the belly of the scepter.

The result is the same.

Moreover, by transferring the risk of keeping his fingers safe to Lynn, he was actually safer.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Lu Suo suddenly laughed.

"Interesting. Very interesting."

"You're the first person in hundreds of years to dare to bargain with me."

Lu Suo reached into the robe and pulled out a small, exquisite wooden box.

There are three here.

"This is all the inventory I have collected so far."

He tossed it casually, and the wooden box traced an arc in the air.

Lynn caught it precisely.

It feels quite heavy when you hold it.

[System Notification: Obtained high-value cursed item - Two-Faced Sukuna's Finger x3]

[Estimated value: 150,000 points.]

Lynn's hands were trembling slightly.

They've struck it rich.

This is a real windfall! Including the one from before, I now have a full four fingers on my hand!

"make a deal."

Lynn quickly stuffed the wooden box into his pocket, afraid that the other party might change their mind.

"I, Lynn, swear on my soul."

"On October 31st in Shibuya, I will feed all the Sukuna fingers I have to Hisahito Itadori."

hum-

Another, even thicker black chain formed between the two and then merged into their bodies.

【Binding】—Establishment.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Lynn."

As Lu Suo watched the deal being finalized, his smile grew even brighter.

I feel completely at ease entrusting my fingers to you for safekeeping.

"Take good care of yourself and get well soon. The next few months are going to be quite eventful."

Done.

The shadow behind Lu Suo began to twist, forming a vortex leading to the void.

In the final moment before stepping into the vortex, he took a deep look at Lynn.

Swish.

His figure disappeared completely.

The huge weight that had been pressing on everyone's hearts was finally lifted.

"call……"

Lynn's body went limp; this time she really couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

"Boss...boss!"

Shunping rushed over to help him up.

"Are you alright? Why did you agree to that condition? That was Sukuna..."

"..."

Lynn did not speak.

Some things are best kept to yourself.

Lynn leaned against Shunping, his face covered in blood and he was extremely weak, but he patted the bulging pockets in his arms and revealed a greedy and satisfied smile.

"With this seed money, when we get to Shibuya..."

Just then.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the entrance of the cave.

"Kuro!! Mr. Lynn!!"

Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugizaki rushed in.

The two were shocked to see the ruins and Lynn's disheveled state.

"What happened here?!"

"I've run into some trouble."

With Shunping's help, Lynn managed to stand up straight and swallowed the secret that had been sealed from her mouth.

He pushed up his broken glasses and pointed to Fushiguro Megumi on the ground.

"Let's talk about it when Fukuro wakes up."

"Let's go back to the vocational college."
