Curse Returns: What did the human-shaped wishing machine do wrong this time?

In the secluded mountain forest, lush trees cast long shadows, and wisps of mist swirl above the hot spring.

After delivering the numerous humans and Louhu here, Lu Suo returned to his secret base at a leisurely pace.

The silver-haired youth, who shouldn't have been here, had half his face hidden in the darkness. Upon seeing Lu Suo, his aura of rage was almost overflowing.

"Lu Suo, why does it have to be this? You'd better explain your reasoning, or you'll regret it."

Even after Alluka went to the Higher Vocational School, she did not lose contact with Rime, Zhang Xiang, and Itadori Yasuke. It was just that the school's special policies prevented her from meeting with them at any time.

During the phone call, Alluka said, puzzled, that they had recently encountered a very special cursed spirit and recounted what had happened.

Ever since Lord Sukuna's soul was suppressed, Rimei was sent away by Lusuo to fetch something. Unexpectedly, this happened as soon as he left. Rimei was very angry, and he felt that Lusuo did it on purpose.

"Don't be angry, the time will be up soon."

Hearing Lu Suo say that, Rimei rolled her eyes and tossed over a Rubik's Cube-shaped magical artifact.

This cursed artifact was obtained by Rōsō and Tengen from Genshin a thousand years ago, and they once attempted to seal Naniga's prison gate.

Their plan did succeed back then. Lu Suo didn't know how Nanika, as a cursed spirit, managed to do it in his mind for one minute, but he did succeed.

Before he could even reap the rewards, his body was instantly killed by Naniga. By the time Lu Suo had replaced his body again, Naniga had already emerged from the prison gates.

After Su Nuo transformed himself into an incarnate Buddha, the magical implement fell into the hands of Ri Mei.

Ryosaku had been longing for the Prison Gate for a long time. If Sukuna's consciousness hadn't been suppressed by Itadori Yujin's body, Rime wouldn't have gone all the way back to Mount Hida to retrieve this cursed artifact from many years ago.

The Prison Gate artifact holds special significance for Naniga, and Rime does not wish to use it unless absolutely necessary.

"As you know, I've made contracts with many sorcerers over the past thousand years. Isn't now the perfect time? Once we've dealt with Gojo Satoru, our plan will begin."

Lu Suo pulled the prison gate into his arms, his eyes unfathomable.

Perhaps before today, he would have hesitated about whether to use the Prison Gate, but after the real person said that Nanika would listen to Su Nuo, Luso was no longer afraid that Alluka would suddenly regain her memories.

Unlike Tengen, he did not personally take action against Alluka's death. This was because he had made a contract with Sukuna a thousand years ago, and he believed that Sukuna would not let him die before the plan was completed.

Except for not getting Xia Youjie's body, everything is now going in his favor.

However, with Alluka around, it's not a big deal even without the Spell Manipulation Technique.

"So you plan to use this cursed artifact to seal Gojo Satoru? Aren't you afraid that Itadori Yuujin will let Nanika release Gojo Satoru? Other cursed artifacts that can disrupt spells can also open the prison gates, right? Or should I go and wish to Alluka to kill Gojo Satoru?"

Rime thought Lusuo's idea was a bit foolish.

It's not too difficult to undo the Prison Gate; the cursed artifact that Fukushige used back then could do it, but Gojo Satoru destroyed the Tennis Hoko back then.

Furthermore, with Alluka around, Hisahito Itadori can command him, so what's the point of sealing him away? It would be more practical to just let Alluka kill Satoru Gojo.

"Killing Gojo Satoru would have been too costly. You don't want Tokyo's people to die before you've even carried out Sukuna's plan, do you? I've already destroyed the cursed artifact that unsealed Gokumon. Makoto told me that Sukuna could refute Itadori Hisahito's words at Alluka's place."

Lu Suo's life had been too long, and he found it too boring.

He wanted to recreate the peaceful and prosperous world of a thousand years ago, and to assimilate the magical power of the evolved alien Tianyuan with that of 100 million people, creating a magical spirit even stronger than Nanika.

If too many people die as a result, that would not be in line with Lu Suo's expectations.

Moreover, given Lu Suo's understanding of Su Nuo's personality, he would definitely be interested in that cursed spirit, and might even take matters into his own hands.

If Su Nuo could assimilate with that cursed spirit, that would be incredibly interesting, and it's the scene that Lu Suo most wants to see.

"If this is Lord Sukuna's plan."

Rime breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Lord Sukuna could stop Alluka.

He was afraid that the child would listen too much to Hisahito Itadori and ruin their plans.

Lu Suo is right.

It seems that everything is really moving in a favorable direction.

......

Tokyo High School of Curses —

Since the Kanagawa incident, Gojo Satoru has been severely criticized by the higher-ups.

Because of Alluka, meetings among senior executives have now moved from offline to online. This reduces the time that senior executives spend interacting with each other, but also increases the vulnerability to intrusion.

At least in Lu Suo's view, the private network set up by these old fogies was as flimsy as paper, making eavesdropping much easier.

During the online meeting, Gojo Satoru not only disregarded these high-ranking officials, but also fell asleep on the spot.

The higher-ups were extremely angry about the incident in Kanagawa, not only because Ryomen Sukuna had emerged from Itadori Yuujin's body, but also because Alluka had almost gotten into trouble by leaving the high school without Gojo Satoru's permission.

The higher-ups wanted to punish Itadori Hisahito, but because of Alluka's existence, they couldn't come up with a clear reason.

Gojo Satoru and Nanami Kento did not report that Sukuna could command Nanika, otherwise the higher-ups' attitude would definitely have been more serious.

The appearance of intelligent cursed spirits one after another made Gojo Satoru feel as if some conspiracy was approaching them...

........

Hisahito Itadori remained silent for a long time after the Yoshino Junpei incident.

Accompanied by Kenjiro Nanami, he returned to the scene of the accident, which was now surrounded by layers of turmeric-colored police tape. Police reports stated that the explosion was caused by a leak in the Kanagawa natural gas pipeline.

The scene is now a complete mess; not even the bodies of ordinary people can be found.

It was only then that Hisahito Itadori realized how cruel Ryoumen Sukuna was, because his momentary prayer had cost so many lives.

Hisahito Itadori felt extremely guilty.

He subconsciously wanted to reduce contact with Alluka.

He was somewhat afraid that Sukuna would do something else to Nanika through his body.

But he had only been hiding for two days when Alluka cornered him in the college dormitory.

"Why is my brother avoiding me? Did Alluka do something wrong?"

Alluka's pure and clear eyes held only simple confusion.

At the Yoshino residence in Kanagawa, he only saved Megumi and Yoshino Junpei. Why did the older brother and the Sukuna brother that Nanika mentioned not seem very happy?

Shouldn't helping others bring happiness?

Meeting Alluka's pure and trusting gaze, Yuujin Itadori felt a tightness in his chest, so constricted that he couldn't speak for a moment.

He wanted to say that he did this because he was so useless, which was why he had ruined his friends' lives.

If it weren't for him, Fuhei wouldn't have met the real person.

If it weren't for him, those ordinary people wouldn't have...

Fushiguro Megumi is now training harder because of that incident. Her classmate, Nobara, said she had never seen Fushiguro Megumi so serious.

Hisahito Itadori's fingers curled slightly, then relaxed again.

He reached out and gently tucked Alluka's wind-blown, slightly disheveled hair behind her ear.

"No, Alluka, it's because the sister school exchange meeting is coming up soon, and Fushiguro and I need to intensify our training."

"Oh, I see! I'll cheer you on in your match then."

Alluka nodded obediently and gave Hisahito an extremely bright smile.

He had heard Panda and the others talk about the sister school exchange event, but he couldn't participate because of his health. The second-year students were training hard.

Mr. Gojo said he could go to the venue on the day of the competition to cheer everyone on.

"Then I'd better do my best!"

Seeing his younger brother's smile brought Hisahito Itadori a little comfort.

He's been preoccupied lately, focusing his attention on other things. He feels he's not strong enough, and if he were stronger, perhaps he and Fu Hei wouldn't have encountered that situation again.

He didn't know if the blue-haired cursed spirit had been killed by Ryoumen Sukuna. If he encountered such a cursed spirit again, he would still be powerless to fight back with his current strength.

Yuujin Itadori was very competitive and devoted all his energy to daily training. He and Megumi Fushiguro worked extremely hard, which made Nobara Kugizaki feel a great sense of urgency.

The students all became more motivated, and Gojo Satoru was overjoyed.

He then happily handed the students over to Nanami Kento and went abroad.

Nanami Builder:......

Time flew by and the day of the exchange meeting arrived.

Since the policy of the exchange meeting is that the winning school will host the main venue, and the Tokyo school won last year, the venue for this year's event will naturally be the Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

Before coming to Tokyo, the students of Kyoto Jujutsu High School were called together for a meeting by Principal Yoshinobu Rakuganji.

"Your goal in this exchange is to kill Hisahito Itadori, the vessel of Ryoumen Sukuna."

Yoshinobu Rakuganji was dressed in a white kimono and wore metal earrings, his entire being shrouded in shadow.

He had been given a death order from above: he must have the students from the Kyoto school use this exchange meeting as an opportunity to kill Hisahito Itadori.

The higher-ups promised Yoshinobu Rakuganji that if Hisahito Itadori really died, they would treat it as an accident and would not hold the students responsible.

"But... Ryoumen Sukuna took over his body and killed many ordinary people, and what about his twin brother? Do we have to deal with them together?"

Zenjima Shinichi frowned and replied.

The incident in Kanagawa a while ago caused quite a stir.

Ryomen Sukuna possessed Itadori Yuujin's body and killed some ordinary people. It is said that Fushiguro Megumi almost died because of that incident.

Naohito Zenin was so angry with the Zenin family that he almost stormed Tokyo High School. Although he was rejected by Jinji Fushiguro, Naohito Zenin still regarded Fushiguro Megumi as one of the heirs of the Zenin family.

The higher-ups had held several meetings to discuss whether or not to execute Hisahito Itadori, but Gojo Satoru flatly rejected the idea.

Since Su Nuo's appearance this time seemed to be a rescue, the higher-ups didn't issue any further notices. They didn't expect to be waiting for them here.

As for the younger brother of the two Sukuna containers, the students of Kyoto High School only know that he is a person with a rather irritable personality and seems to have some special dealings with the higher-ups.

Furthermore, that person is currently living openly at Tokyo College, which is something that everyone at Kyoto College doesn't understand.

"His younger brother won't be attending this exchange meeting, so you can do whatever you want. Hisahito Itadori, as a vessel, is no longer human, so don't hesitate."

Compared to the students, Rakanji knew a little more; he certainly knew what Alluka's magic was.

But if they want to keep Alluka around to do things while having his students kill his brother, won't the students in Kyoto face retaliation?

Rakuganji Yoshinobu's heart sank slightly, sensing that something was amiss. Kyoto College teacher Ankagi also frowned when she heard about the task assigned by her superiors.

After he left, the students from Kyoto High School discussed it and decided to see how things went tomorrow.

On the day of the exchange meeting, everyone from the Tokyo school except for Nobara Kugizaki was very happy.

She was unhappy because she thought they were going to Kyoto for a trip, and she had already packed her luggage when she found out that the event was actually being held in Tokyo.

The students from the Kyoto school spotted their target the moment they arrived at Tokyo High School: a pink-haired boy, who was also the vessel for Ryomen Sukuna.

They exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat serious. The students from the Tokyo campus were puzzled as to why the people from Kyoto were behaving this way.

"You have excellent taste, student!"

From a distance, Anka-hime spotted a girl dressed in the same shrine maiden outfit as herself.

Because of her magic and her family background, the songstress wore a shrine maiden's uniform when she was studying at the vocational high school. She never expected that there would be a junior in Tokyo with the same taste as her.

She was so happy that she wanted to take the other person's hand.

Alluka didn't know Ankagi, and he was taken aback by her friendly attitude. Then, he smiled sweetly at Ankagi.

"Hello, my name is Alluka, nice to meet you."

As he uttered his name, the students at Kyoto High School all wore strange expressions.

This person... must be the container's younger brother...

Does dressing like this mean your technique is the same as the songstress's?
