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

"You don't need to explain so much, just tell the child he will agree."

As Tianyuan walked forward, she turned a corner and heard this voice, causing her to pause, her footsteps still suspended in mid-air.

The long-haired youth dressed in a moon-white hunting robe stood with his hands at his sides, his slightly upturned eyes fixed on Tianyuan's face.

He clicked his tongue.

The moment their eyes met, Lu Suo narrowed his eyes.

"His demands seem to be different from what you described."

Tianyuan stopped in front of Lusuo, his gaze calmly meeting Lusuo's.

"I didn't expect the difficulty to increase so quickly." Lu Suo gave a wry smile.

One of the rules for Alluka's wish, discovered by the Fujiwara family, is often overlooked by those people.

The rule is that when the object of Alluka's wish disappears or is hidden, he can no longer use his wish-granting ability on others.

This information was obtained by Tōsō after he infiltrated the Fujiwara household.

Only two days after Sukuna took Alluka away, the price that had just been set in that ritual has already started to increase.

"Loss body parts cannot be repaired by reversal surgery."

Tianyuan, who usually kept her emotions hidden, didn't look too good. She lowered her head and raised her right hand, her little finger still intact.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If Ryoumen Sukuna really makes some strange wish, even if a lot of sorcerers gather together, it won't help. Besides..."

Lu Suo paused for a moment and then shrugged.

"Do you really think the Fujiwara family would hand that child over to someone else or kill him? With him around, your barrier techniques won't be able to function properly, will they?"

In this era of the flourishing of sorcery, Tengen, who was skilled in barrier techniques, was not very famous. What she relied on was the immortality technique to make herself live long enough.

She had already identified four locations that would be perfect centers for the purification realms. Among them, the purification realm at the Yamaguni Imperial Mausoleum in Kyoto was controlled by the imperial family, while the purification realm at Mount Hida was Sukuna's hometown.

Because of Alluka, the Fujiwara family members who were in power were not quite normal. After hearing Ryosaku's words, Tengen remained silent for a moment and did not refute them.

"Don't worry, the scenario you're worried about is very likely not going to happen."

Lu Suo stroked his chin and smiled gently, as if everything was under control.

"Could you two idiots be any dumber?"

Ryomen Sukuna spoke in an unfriendly tone, his scarlet eyes sweeping over the noisy group of people, making it clear that he was not in a good mood at the moment.

As Rime walked along the road, he remembered that a set of drinking vessels that Lord Sukuna loved most had been submerged in that uninhabitable house. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should try to salvage it again, when a group of sorcerers came to his door, demanding that he hand over Alluka, while hurling insults at Lord Sukuna.

Rime was already in a bad mood, and after exchanging insults with the group of sorcerers who were leading them, he was about to start a fight when Lord Su Nuo, who was supposed to return in two days, came back early.

Looking at the mountain of various kinds of meat piled up in front of her, Rime felt very guilty.

Ryomen Sukuna despises idiots and won't even eat food made by idiots. He glanced at the scene before him with an unfriendly expression and guessed what was going on.

"Two-faced Suno! We've come to declare war. The day after tomorrow, our punitive army will arrive. Don't accuse us of ganging up on the few."

The leading sorcerer froze when he saw the two-faced Sukuna, and pulled a letter from his sleeve.

The words "Declaration of War" were written in a flamboyant style on the surface of the envelope.

In fact, ever since Alluka was kidnapped by Sukuna, the hearts of people throughout Kyoto have been somewhat restless.

Many people were skeptical about the technique that could grant any desired item, but who would have thought that all the meat consumed by the noble families of Heian-kyo would vanish without a trace overnight?

The Fujiwara family was convinced that it was that child who did it, because only that child had that ability.

These sorcerers believed this was a show of force by Ryoumen Sukuna after hearing about their plans; such blatant disregard for everyone was simply intolerable.

Their forces were almost fully assembled, and with two days to spare, the punitive expeditionary force could arrive and they could rest a bit more.

The leading sorcerer craned his neck, trying to hand the letter in his hand to Su Nuo.

He was still somewhat intimidated by this legendary ghost.

Normally, no one would kill the envoy before the battle, but Ryomen Sukuna has never been known for its martial ethics.

He merely glanced at the surface of the letter, showing no interest whatsoever.

With just a light glance, the man's head had already fallen to the ground.

The splattered blood stained the entire field of vision, and the sorcerers behind him only had time to see those eyes that never closed until death.

"Is it just you bunch of trash?" Ryoumen Sukuna sneered.

"This is no small matter. Abe, Kamo, Ashiya Masatsuna, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and Minamoto no Shinichi have all arrived. Your death will be imminent."

The sorcerers glared at the two Su Nuo, their faces still stained with the warm blood of their companions.

Unfortunately, the two Sukuna were here, unable even to collect the bodies of their companions.

"They're all the same kind of trash, tsk." Ryomen Sukuna casually propped up his chin, glancing at the group. "I'll go. You can choose one of you to deliver the message; the rest of you can stay here."

After Ryoumen Sukuna gained fame, the sorcerers who came to punish him never stopped.

Among them, the most famous were the Fujiwara, Sugawara, and elite troops of the Abe family.

Lu Su said that these sorcerers would form a united army to attack him, but Ryoumen Su Nuo didn't take it seriously. To him, there was no difference between an ant and a group of ants.

This world is incredibly boring to him; in fact, he even somewhat hopes that someone will come out and defeat him.

"Shameless! Don't even think about trying to sow discord between us!"

Having understood the meaning of the two-faced sorcerers' words, the sorcerers became furious after a brief commotion.

At this moment, everyone moved. If they didn't act now, they would die like their companions just now.

They knew this very well in their hearts.

"Tsk, is that all the strength you've got?"

To Ryoumen Su Nuo, these bastards were moving at a snail's pace, their movements so slow that the flaws were too obvious to be seen with the naked eye, and he didn't even need to focus his attention.

"Since neither of us is choosing, let's choose together."

With a cruel smile, Ryoumen Sukuna began today's hunt.

Pure malice, along with an invisible cursed blade, slashed towards the crowd, centered on his body.

When it was all over, the scene was already a river of blood.

The raging flames burned amidst the ruins, as if trying to incinerate everything, and the thick stench of blood even tinged the sky with a dark red hue.

Ryomen Sukuna glanced indifferently at the two idiots behind him. While he was fighting, Rime and Alluka were chatting about something.

The sorcerers died in extremely cruel ways, with arms that were cut open but not completely severed, and throats that were slit but still oozing blood and foam.

As one person was on their last breath, Ryomen Sukuna was contemplating whether to deliver the final blow when Alluka clasped her hands together, her eyes lowered with a smile of heartfelt tenderness.

"May the villain who wanted to kill my brother be happy in his next life."

He just smiled and watched quietly as that person breathed their last.
