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

Summer showers come suddenly and violently. After Rika finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened, and the rain curtain was swept down by the dark clouds. The sand was quickly soaked by the increasingly heavy raindrops.

"Huh? Alluka's turned back?"

Rika Kimoto looked quite surprised when she noticed that the black-haired child had suddenly returned to normal.

Yuta once said that his friend Alluka was a bit strange; sometimes his facial features would turn into dark holes, but he would quickly return to normal.

Before meeting him, Rika Kimoto didn't know why Yuta said that. But after meeting him once, she realized that Yuta's words were not an exaggeration at all.

"Time to go home!"

The sudden downpour kept hitting the ground, and the small, scattered raindrops quickly soaked the trouser legs of several children. Zhang Xiang shouted from not far away in the park, telling the children to hurry home.

"Um!"

Alluka responded and, together with Yuujin, was led home by Zhang Xiang. The pedestrians on the street were in a hurry; it would be dinner time in two more hours. Yuta and Rika, holding umbrellas, went home separately.

Yuuji Itadori kept thinking about how to bring it up on the way, unsure how to handle Rika's wish about her younger sister.

He had discovered that his younger siblings didn't seem to have any concept of good or evil; to Alluka, a human life and a little bird by the roadside were the same.

Alluka's compassion and love for all life are equal. Apart from her family, Alluka seems to have little emotional reaction to the passing of others.

Aunt Mei and Brother Zhangxiang don't seem to care much about the lives of ordinary people...

Yujin was somewhat panicked by this discovery, and he didn't know who to confide in.

He felt that this perception was wrong, but all his family members thought so. Was he the only one who was different?

Rika skipped and hopped her way home, which was in the opposite direction from Alluka's house.

As soon as she arrived downstairs, she found that the entrance to her building was cordoned off with two-tone police tape. Several people in police uniforms were walking back and forth in her home, and some neighbors were being questioned by the police from a distance. The scene was chaotic and noisy.

Qi Benlixiang paused, a somewhat absurd thought popping into her head.

"You're Rika Kimoto, right?"

While she was lost in thought, a policewoman in a uniform skirt gently walked over and stepped aside to block Kimoto Rika's view.

"Yes."

To outsiders, Rika Kimoto always presented herself as a well-behaved child.

"Where were you and what were you doing half an hour ago? When was the last time you saw your grandmother?"

"I went to visit a friend. The last time I saw her was in the morning, and my grandma made me boiled eggplant..."

After answering, Qi Benli was led aside by the police.

The policewoman didn't let her go back to her home. On the way, Rika casually glanced over and saw the blood spreading across the threshold.

Was her grandmother dead?

Rika didn't feel sad about coming to this conclusion.

After her father and mother died in an accident, her grandmother always believed that Rika was responsible for their deaths and had been abusing her all these years.

Qi Benlixiang's grandmother was found dead at home at 2:14 PM. The shape of her body was determined to be twisted into a rope shape by external force, and her internal organs and blood were squeezed out and splattered throughout the room during the process.

The person who reported the crime was Qi Benlixiang's neighbor. Because they smelled a pungent bloody odor at home, the police broke into the house and discovered a scene that looked like hell on earth.

The deceased's son and daughter-in-law had passed away a few years ago, leaving only a granddaughter in elementary school. However, it was clear that a little girl could not have committed such a murder, so the police only questioned Rika a few times as a routine matter.

Just as the police were still puzzled by the case, a leader from a higher department arrived with a few rather strange people and took over the case.

"Wow, this is getting really interesting."

When the long-haired sorcerer saw Grandma Qiben Lixiang's body, he took out his phone and took several photos of the body from different angles, then sent the photos to several contacts on his phone.

"The Dark Sorcerer, the mission needs to be kept secret, and..."

The assistant supervisor behind her turned pale when he saw the corpse. He cautiously tried to persuade the female sorcerer in front of him to stop.

"Hey, what's there to keep secret? Which sorcerer doesn't know about what happened back then?"

Mingming shook her phone with amusement. Her phone lit up a few times, and soon several messages came in.

The assistant supervisor remained silent for a moment, then went to the side to make phone calls to the higher-ups.

The reason he reacted this way was because this method of death was so famous.

The mass deaths of high-ranking officials back then still haunt the sorcerers and assistant supervisors; the murderer who killed so many high-ranking officials has never been caught.

Now, in Sendai, through the window, we have witnessed an incident of people being injured by curses. No one expected that the victim's death was exactly the same as that of the high-ranking officials back then. How could this not be shocking?

Mingming, who comes from Tokyo Jujutsu High School, knows more than the assistant supervisors.

Back when Alluka was in the high school, she and the songstress went on a mission to another region and never met them.

With her extensive sources of information, she had heard that the person who killed the high-ranking official was most likely a young child, and that the child's techniques were so unique that the high-ranking officials' missions were to capture the person alive rather than kill him.

She sent a copy of the photos to each of the three major families. The higher-ups had their own supplementary monitoring reports. Since the technique was very interesting, and the three major families seemed quite interested, there must be business opportunities in it.

After Mingming sent out the photos, Gojo Satoru called very quickly, along with a message from Zenin Naoya of the Zenin family.

After learning that the mission location was Sendai, Gojo Satoru casually said "I know" and hung up the phone. Mingming received 1000 million yen from Gojo in his card. The two often worked together and were already very familiar with this process.

Mingming hadn't expected that Zenji Naoya was so rich, but since he was a sucker anyway, she figured she might as well make some money.

Mingming, who was very happy to receive the money, glanced at the little girl being comforted by the police out of the corner of her eye. For some reason, she felt that there was a kind of joy in the little girl's eyes.

Alluka sat in the living room as if nothing had happened, fiddling with the toys Rime had just bought for him.

Yuuji thought for a moment, then slowly shuffled over and cautiously asked, "Little brother, is Rika's grandma still alive?"

Rika said she didn't want to see her grandmother again. Yuji didn't know what his sister meant by "didn't want to see her grandmother." Did she mean the person was dead, or that the person was being taken away?

"Of course we'll never see them again!"

Alluka put down the building blocks in her hands and gave her brother a bright smile.

"Um, um..."

Looking at his younger brother's smile, Yujin felt his hands and feet turn ice cold, and he was momentarily dazed.

"Hmm? Brother, aren't you happy that Rika's wish has been fulfilled?"

Alluka tilted her head, wondering why her brother's expression was not good.

"Brother, that's it. Killing is wrong."

Yujin racked his brains trying to figure out how to explain this to his younger brother, but when he met Alluka's somewhat bewildered gaze, he really didn't know what to say.
