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

"Brother...brother..."

Noticing the figure perched on the roof, Nanika, with his dark features, grinned happily. His sharp, piercing voice, as if distorted, came through intermittently like a torrent of noise.

As she laughed, Duo Shuaiwan in front of her seemed to have his body torn and squeezed into layers of wrinkles by an invisible force, as if it were made of cloth.

Like weeds flattened by a hurricane, before he could react, his body was instantly twisted into a bloody mess by an irresistible force, splattering everywhere.

What seemed like an eternity actually lasted only two breaths. The piercing laughter, like the tolling of a bell, sent a chill down the spines of everyone in the Fujiwara family present.

she……

What does the Nanigar call him?

elder brother?

That two-faced, four-armed monster? The monster they're performing this ritual to destroy?

Under their terrified gazes, the two Su Nuo, perched on the roof, propped their chins up with one arm and coolly raised their eyelids: "You've caused me a lot of trouble. Where's that guy?"

Seeing that they actually knew each other, the Fujiwara elders huddled together in fear. The guards noticed the abnormality of the altar and immediately surrounded them, shielding them behind them.

"What an idiot."

The atmosphere in the courtyard was heavy, and the once bright sky was now covered by dark clouds.

Two-faced Su Nuo stepped onto the green tiles of the roof, his exposed black runes extremely arrogant. Amidst the despair and panic of these people, he took a step forward and landed lightly on the altar as if walking on flat ground.

"Trouble...?"

Nanika tilted her head sluggishly, deep in thought, her high-pitched voice filled with obvious confusion, her whole being frozen in a grayish-white light.

She seemed to freeze for a few seconds, her dark features tumbling like a ball of yarn, before returning her body to Alluka.

Alluka is back.

He excitedly opened his eyes, his wet pupils filled with anticipation as he looked over.

"Brother! Did you come to pick me up?"

Unlike her interactions with the Fujiwara family, Alluka's true self at this moment was no longer elusive, but it was precisely this difference that made them even more terrified.

Ryomen Sukuna did not answer him. His scarlet eyes swept over them, and he appeared in front of them just as they were about to escape.

Did I tell you to leave?

His deep, unpleasant voice contained a nonchalant sarcasm.

An unbridled killing intent crashed down, and the materialized oppressive aura emanating from the strongest curse master caused these pampered adults to feel a stinging sensation on their skin, tremble, and turn pale in an instant.

When they first faced the legendary two-faced, four-armed monster, they took a step back in panic, but their bodies, weakened by the loss of strength, caused them to fall to the ground.

At that very moment, they felt extreme regret and cursed Fujiwara no Michimitsu for holding this unnecessary ceremony.

They never imagined that Lord Alluka, who had always been worshipped, and this monster were actually brothers.

Thinking of the wish the Fujiwara family made to the black-haired boy, and the blame they took for Ryoumen Sukuna...

In an instant, they felt their hair stand on end.

It was as if a pair of hands tore everything apart from the darkness, and everything stolen had to be repaid. They finally got their day of reckoning.

only……

If they are brothers, why aren't they together?

When the former clan chief framed Ryomen Sukuna, no one came out to refute him.

Yes, it seems none of them have mentioned the Two-Faced Sukuna.

They stared directly at Alluka, whose eyes were wet and looked like those of a happy little puppy, as if they were staring directly at the malice of the entire world.

"They're quite obedient."

Seeing that these people weren't as unreasonable as the punitive expeditionary force, Ryoumen Sukuna chuckled with pleasure and slowly lifted Alluka by the scruff of her neck as if she were a kitten.

He walked unhurriedly toward the exit of the altar, each step sending shivers down the spines of everyone else present.

They watched the two figures of Su Nuo as they walked away, and just as their tense nerves began to relax slightly.

Click, click.

With a few soft sounds, and slashes so fast they couldn't be followed by sight, along with the rain falling from the dark clouds, streaks of blood suddenly appeared on their forearms, thighs, necks, and even heads, to the astonishment of the crowd.

They didn't even have time to let out a scream of pain.

With the sound of blood gushing out, neat fragments fell onto the sandy ground, like weeds being cut.

"..."

Alluka, held in Sukuna's hand, looked back with some confusion, as if she had discovered something.

The blood-red spray that splattered everywhere perfectly avoided the direction of the two Sukuna. He walked through the blood-red, and both he and Alluka were completely clean.

"Lord Su Nuo!"

Rimei, who had come from the Daijō-sai festival, respectfully knelt on one knee before Sukuna.

He seemed completely unfazed by the blood-red expanse before him, as if it were commonplace.

Just now at the festival, the adult seemed to have discovered something and suddenly disappeared. Rime was delayed by a woman.

"Take him away."

Ryomen Sukuna glanced at Rime and threw Alluka to the ground.

Rime had just noticed what Lord Sukuna was carrying, but out of respect, he didn't look closely. When he heard the order, he raised his eyes slightly and met a pair of very familiar eyes.

"Xiaomei! I miss you so much!"

Amidst Rime's complex expression, Alluka let out a cheerful and crisp cry, ignoring the dust clinging to her kimono as she rushed over.

Rime instinctively reached out her hand, just as they had when they were still each other's only support.

There was still no news of Alluka, and Rime once thought that he had been killed by the Sugawara family as the murderer.

They never imagined they would meet again one day.

Ryoumen Sukuna glanced at her with his arms crossed as if bestowing a gift, and in that one glance, Rimei froze and almost lost control of her expression.

He hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Lord Su-Su Nuo, is he also an ingredient?"

Rime was kept by Ryomen Sukuna's side not because of his strength, but because of his special cooking skills. Ryomen Sukuna would simply give him some difficult-to-handle ingredients.

As Rime placed Alluka on the ground, her heart tightened suddenly. For the first time, she had received an answer to her fears from Lord Sukuna.

"Xiaomei, what are the ingredients?"

Alluka's face, free of any gloom, broke into a bright smile.

Looking into those gray-blue eyes filled with curiosity, Rime's words caught in her throat, as if she had lost her tongue.

He hesitated for two seconds, thinking of asking Lord Su Nuo for instructions, but saw that the figure had already gone far away.
