Jujutsu Kaisen: I Made Sukuna Owe 100 Million Yen

Shibuya, the ground.

Hisahito Itadori ran all the way here from Meiji Jingumae Station.

My lungs felt like they were on fire, and every breath I took smelled of blood.

"I...I have to tell everyone!"

"Gojo-sensei has been sealed away!"

Rushing into the tent, a hellish scene greeted my eyes.

The once bustling Shibuya has been reduced to ruins.

Countless deformed, cyborgs with only half a body or extra limbs are wandering aimlessly and causing destruction.

Seeing the overwhelming number of monsters, Itachi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Too many..."

If we had to deal with them one by one, we wouldn't have had enough time to save Teacher Gojo.

Just as Itachi gritted his teeth and prepared to force his way through, a scene from the street corner ahead stunned him.

Among that group of menacing cyborgs, one figure stood out from the crowd.

He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, and his pace was as leisurely as if he were strolling through a backyard.

Faced with the ferocious monsters rushing towards him, he simply raised the black cane in his hand.

Hey.

The cane gently tapped on the forehead of a cyborg.

Without any violent movement, the cyborg suddenly collapsed to the ground as if its spine had been removed, and then turned into ashes.

The man turned gracefully, his cane swinging again, each strike precise and deadly, as if conducting a silent symphony.

"Mr. Lynn?!"

Huzhang shouted, his eyes gleaming with surprise.

That person was Lynn, the owner of Exchange No. 8.

Hearing the shout, Lynn stopped what he was doing. He turned around, adjusted his sunglasses, and revealed his signature gentle smile:

"Oh my, isn't this Itadori-kun? Running so late, you're really full of energy."

"This isn't the time to talk about this!"

Tiger Cane rushed to Lynn in a few steps, panting, and grabbed Lynn's shoulder:

"Mr. Lynn, what are you doing here?"

"As you can see," Lynn shrugged, pointing to the wreckage on the ground with his cane. "Although I'm just an unofficial staff member, I still hold the title of 'logistics consultant' for the college. With something this big happening, I should do my part and help clean up the streets."

"Very good!"

Hope was rekindled in Huzhang's heart.

He had personally witnessed Lynn's abilities. Although he didn't know the exact upper limit of Lynn's strength, this man always managed to pull out all sorts of amazing gadgets to turn danger into safety.

"Mr. Lynn, it's an emergency! Mr. Gojo has been sealed away! We need your help, as long as you're here..."

"Was Gojo Satoru sealed away?"

Lynn raised an eyebrow, his face showing just the right amount of surprise.

But soon, that surprise turned into a helpless, bitter smile.

He gently pushed away Hu Zhang's hand that was gripping his shoulder and shook his head:

"Itadori-kun, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"

"Huh?" Itachi was taken aback.

"Although I really want to help..."

Lynn sighed:

"But you should know that in the college's records, I'm just a mere level two mage."

Lynn spread his hands and pointed to the cyborgs around him who were getting up:

"Just dealing with these grunts has already exhausted me. A battlefield involving top-tier cursed spirits, curse masters, and even Gojo Satoru..."

He patted Huzhang on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"Someone as weak as me would only be a burden to you if you went there, and you might even have to take time out of your way to protect me."

"But……"

Huzhang scratched his head.

Although Mr. Lynn's words made perfect sense and were logically sound, he couldn't help but admire Lynn's impeccably tailored suit, which was perfectly straight, and his calm and composed demeanor...

Something just doesn't feel right.

Is this what you call "going all out"?

"Alright, Itadori-kun."

Without giving Itajitsugi time to think, Lynn gently nudged him.

He held the top-grade spell artifact, the Golden Law, in his hand, feeling the kinetic energy accumulated from striking those cyborgs just now flowing joyfully within the staff.

This is a great opportunity to farm monsters and stack passive abilities, so we can't let it get interrupted.

"Leave this to me. I'll take care of cleaning up the perimeter and make sure no cyborgs can interfere with you."

Lynn winked at Huzhang and smiled:

"Go, do what you're supposed to do. Gojo Satoru is still waiting for you."

"……I see!"

Uruga's gaze hardened once more.

Since Mr. Lynn has said so, we can't waste any more time.

"Mr. Lynn, I'm leaving this to you! Please be very careful!"

After saying that, Itadori took another step and charged into the depths of Shibuya Station like a cheetah.

As Huzhang's figure disappeared, Lynn's smile gradually faded.

He lowered his head, looking at the cane in his hand that emitted a faint black light, his fingers gently stroking the handle.

"Alright, that nuisance is gone."

Lynn turned around and looked at the dozens of cyborgs pouring out of the alley. There was no pity in his eyes, only the pleasure of looking at "power banks".

Even if it's just a small fry, every little bit helps.

This was a chance discovery by Lynn, during his previous journey to the sealing battle with Gojo Satoru.

He casually smashed a cyborg and actually made some money.

These cyborgs, though essentially human, can still be recycled by the system.

Hey.

The cane taps the ground lightly.

Black ripples spread silently in the night.

……

Itadori leaped onto the rooftop of a tall building, facing the chaotic streets of Shibuya below. He gathered his strength and roared with all his might:

"Nanami—!!!" "Gojo-sensei!! He's been sealed away—!!!"

This shout contained a magical power, rolling across the sky above Shibuya like a thunderclap, drowning out the sirens and screams from the streets.

……

A few minutes later.

Guided by that shout, several figures quickly converged.

"Itadaki!" Fushiguro Megumi arrived first with Ino Takuma.

Next up was Nanami Kento, a first-level sorcerer dressed in a light-colored suit who remained calm even amidst the chaos.

"Nanami!" Itadori saw a reliable adult and felt like he had found his pillar of support.

"Don't shout in such a big place. Are you trying to attract all the curse masters here?"

Nanami frowned, but didn't seem to blame him.

He pushed up his goggles, his expression grave: "Explain the specifics."

Before Itajimaru could speak, the miniature mechanical ball hanging from his ear spoke first: "Let me explain, to save time."

Mechanical Maru succinctly recounted everything that happened in B5F: Gojo Satoru activated his 0.2-second domain to protect non-magicians, and was subsequently captured by Gokumon Tsutomu.

"Prison Gate Frontier..." Qi Hai repeated the name, a hint of coldness in his voice.

"How is Teacher Gojo doing now? Is it too late for us?" Itadori asked anxiously.

No, quite the opposite.

"This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Gojo Satoru's information volume is too enormous, and Gokumon Tsuyoshi cannot move him until he has 'dealt with' him. Natsuyu is also currently trapped on B5F."

"In other words," Nanami instantly understood the situation, "we need to fight our way back to B5F and retrieve the box before the enemy moves Prison Gate."

"That's right."

The goal has been set. But a huge obstacle still lies ahead.

"However, a 'Sorcerer-rejecting' barrier has been placed around here." Ino Takuma pointed to the black barrier around them. "If we don't remove this barrier, the subsequent support troops from the advanced training institute won't be able to get in, and we won't be able to move freely."

After a moment of silence, Nanami Kento made his decision.

As a seasoned first-level mage, he understood that the personnel allocation at this moment was of paramount importance.

"I'm going to meet up with Ijichi." Nanami turned around, his back to the three young men. "For a situation this large-scale, we need an assistant supervisor to coordinate the command headquarters and the outside world. Communication is currently blocked, so I need to go and check on the security of the external command system."

"Eh? Mr. Nanami, are you going alone?" Ino asked, somewhat surprised.

"You're enough here, Ino." Nanami glanced back at Ino, her tone calm but full of trust: "Although you're only a Level 2, you've already demonstrated sufficient strength in the pre-Level 1 assessment. Unravel this 'trap,' and then take Itadori and Fushiguro to B5F."

"Can you do it?"

Takuma Ino was stunned for a moment, then his face showed undisguised excitement.

He had always admired Nanami and longed to gain the approval of this senior.

"Yes! Leave it to me! I won't take a salary for nothing!"

Nanami nodded, then looked at Itadori and Fushiguro: "Please."

After saying that, he picked up the short knife wrapped in spotted cloth and disappeared into the darkness alone.

……

After watching Nanami leave.

"Alright! Since Mr. Nanami has said so, let's get to work!"

Ino pulled down his hood, covering his entire face, and his demeanor instantly became wild.

"I have a clue about the basis of this account." Ino pointed to the tallest building not far away—Shibuya S Tower.

"If it is the kind of barrier that 'locks everyone inside,' the base point is usually hidden deep underground or in a secluded place to prevent it from being destroyed."

"But this kind of tent that 'refuses entry to specific personnel' will actually set up its base in a conspicuous place in exchange for increasing the strength of the barrier."

"This is also a kind of constraint."

Ino pointed to the top of the S-Tower: "Look, that's the highest point in all of Shibuya, and also where the barrier is most concentrated. The base point is definitely there!"

"Then let's just fly up there." Fukuro Megumi formed hand seals, and shadows surged.

"Nue!"

With a cry, a huge orange bird burst out of the shadows.

Megumi Fushiguro and Yuujin Itadori each grabbed Nue's claws, while Ino used his enhanced body to follow closely behind.

Whoosh! Nue carried the three of them vertically into the air, rapidly ascending outside the glass curtain wall of the building, heading straight for the top floor.

……

Shibuya S Tower, rooftop helipad.

Three huge wooden stakes were driven into the ground.

In front of the wooden stake stood three figures: the curse master Arisaka Jiro (a bald, burly man), Granny Oogami, and her grandson.

Just then, the trio in the air launched a surprise attack.

"Itadaki! Now!" Fushiguro Megumi shouted.

While still in mid-air, Yuujin Itadori suddenly released Nue's claws and, using the momentum of his fall, charged straight at the bald man who looked the most robust (Arisaka).

At the same time, Fushiguro Megumi swung a steel wire through the air.

Arisaka tried to defend against Itajō's attack, but found that it was not a simple kick.

The combination of Tiger Stick and Hidden Black is seamless.

Fushiguro's steel wire precisely wrapped around Arisaka's body, while Itadori's kick became the propulsion.

"Get down here!!"

Itadori kicked Arisaka in the face, and with the electric shock from Fushiguro Megumi, Arisaka was sent crashing through the edge of the roof railing.

Whoosh—!

The two of them, clinging to Awasaka, plummeted from the rooftop hundreds of meters high!

"What?!" Granny Oogami was stunned for a moment.

While still in mid-air, Itajimaru shouted towards the rooftop, "Ino-senpai! You take care of those two up there! We'll get this big guy down there and deal with him!"

……
