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

"Just put it in the school's Stevenson Screen? What did you take Sukuna-sama's finger for? Just knock Itadori Yuuhito unconscious and feed him the finger!"

On the rooftop of Sugisawa Third Middle School, two figures stood with their hands at their sides on a spacious cement platform, watching as two school staff members placed a box containing the top-grade cursed artifact, Ryoumen Sukuna's Fingers, into the school's louvered box.

Rimei crossed her arms and pouted in annoyance at how those two people so disrespectfully placed Lord Sukuna's fingers inside.

"Don't you think feeding him directly is a bit too deliberate? Gojo Satoru will probably come looking for you too; you two must have had a lot of contact over the years, right?"

Wearing a new vest, the young man stood with his hands at his sides, his soft, jet-black hair hanging down, and a relaxed, amused smile in his eyes.

Excessive negative emotions can create a curse, especially in places like schools and hospitals. That's why many schools place talismans inside their buildings to ward off evil.

Ryomen Sukuna's fingers twirled a few times before a messenger delivered the item to Hisahito Itadori's high school.

Lu Suo's heart finally settled down after his gaze swept over the Stevenson screen and he saw the staff leave.

Unlike Rime's ideas.

Ryosaku knew that Hisahito Itadori, the container he had created specifically to suppress Sukuna, had a very high probability of suppressing Sukuna's soul.

He had to ensure that no sorcerer was involved in any step before the flesh was smuggled, so that Gao Zhuanfang would not be aware of their plan.

"Ha, once Lord Sukuna successfully undergoes the flesh-receiving ceremony, what are a mere Gojo Satoru worth?"

Rimei, a seasoned Sukuna fan, felt that Tōsō's actions were really unnecessary.

"Does Gao Zhuanfang still have a few Su Nuo fingers? You can't bring them out, so he'll have to go in and get them himself."

The tattered skin stretched out an extremely hypocritical smile.

The two disliked each other, and seeing that the plan was going smoothly, they parted ways. In a blind spot where Rimei couldn't see him, Lu Suo's eyes quickly turned cold.

These past few years have truly been the worst years of his life.

Rime, that dimwit, along with Fuheshen, wiped out the entire high-ranking members of the sorcery world. This time, Luso's disguise was unlucky and he was directly caught in the crossfire.

By the time he replaced the body with a suitable one, the entire headquarters was in complete chaos, and all the pawns he had planted had been wiped out by Rime, the undercover agent.

Not only that, Xia Youjie and Wutiao Wu somehow figured it out and started sending people to the director's office. Fortunately, the two of them were relatively young and their methods were still too clumsy. Nevertheless, Ryosaku was still somewhat disheartened.

The failure of Tengen assimilation resulted in the birth of two Sukuna containers, the transformation of the spirit into a cursed spirit, and the omnipotent wish-granting machine that was his son.

Almost all the factors that are conducive to altruistic plans have come together in these few years.

Starting with the two containers of Su Nuo, thinking about how he was about to fulfill his thousand-year-old wish, Lu Suo returned to his residence feeling somewhat elated.

After separating from Ryousaku, Rime did not return to the Urajō family. Over the years, he had been searching everywhere for the remaining Sukuna fingers. His efforts paid off, and he found four, but he could not find any more.

He had wanted Fuheishener to steal the Su Nuo finger stored at the high school, but unlike the Nine Phases Diagram, the cursed spirit would mutate once the Su Nuo finger entered Chou Bao's stomach, so Fuheishener didn't do it.

Now that Lord Sukuna's finger has been placed in the school, it must now enter Yuujin Itadori's body. I wonder if Alluka will be upset.

He has never been able to recover his memories of the Heian period. Rime knows that Alluka is a reincarnation, and her experience of flesh and blood is different from theirs, but he is still hoping for something.

"Xiaomei, you're back?"

Over the years, the black-haired boy who loved to act cute has grown up a lot. His face is still childlike, and he speaks and acts in a very childlike manner. His eyes are bright and clear, and just looking at him gives you a sense of innocent joy.

Seeing that the boy's features were becoming more and more like the person she remembered, Rime raised her eyebrows and handed a bouquet of flowers she had bought to Alluka.

"Hmm, are you going to the hospital to see Grandpa?"

Watari Yasuke was hospitalized a couple of days ago. It wasn't anything serious, just that his body was getting old and his organs were failing.

This ailment was easy for Nanika to treat, but the old man had come to understand the principles behind his granddaughter's wishes over the years, and he was very unwilling to hurt others, so he packed his bags and went to the hospital without informing anyone.

Yuji Itadori, Alluka, and the other two had approached Itadori Yasusuke several times, but the old man simply refused to leave the hospital, leaving them all quite helpless.

"Yes, my brother made soup before going to school, and I'm going to take it to Grandpa."

Alluka pointed to the insulated box that had already been packed on the table with a smile on her face.

The Itadori family didn't really restrict Alluka's movements, but Gojo Satoru's words still left some marks on his heart.

Alluka's school registration was always with Hisahito Itadori, but he rarely went to school and deliberately tried not to remember the names of his classmates. He only went to school occasionally with his brother to experience the school atmosphere.

Yuujin Itadori has a sunny personality and loves making friends. Alluka is happy to have Shoji and Rimei with her at home.

Yasuke Itadori, in a fit of pique, went to the hospital on his own, and apart from Hisahito Itadori's few criminals, no one at home was particularly worried.

It was really easy for Nanika to give the old man some life, and Zhang Xiang and Alluka were happy to coax him.

"Then shall I go with you?"

Luso has to keep Alluka occupied for the next two days to prevent him from going to school and ruining Luso's plans.

Rime didn't know how Luso had arranged things, but seeing that Alluka wanted to go to the hospital, he decided to go with her.

"Great! Grandpa will be so happy!"

Alluka smiled brightly, her azure eyes revealing her complete trust in Rime.

The white-haired curse master coughed twice, and the image of the old man Itadori Yasuke smashing things the day before yesterday flashed through his mind.

Alluka, do you really think that old man is happy?

He reached out and touched Alluka's smooth black hair, then picked up the insulated food container on the table.

In the living room, when Li Mei returned, she didn't plan to go to the hospital with him.

"I'll go check on Hisahito."

Compared to Hisahito, Alluka always needed someone by her side, and she felt more guilty towards her other younger brother, Hisahito.

He loves each of his younger brothers equally, but he still wants to share his time with them more evenly. He doesn't want to be a parent who doesn't treat them all equally; he wants Hisahito to feel his brother's deepest love.

"Let's go to the hospital together and bring his grandfather back."

Rimei's lips twitched, stopping the swelling in her mind.

Not only because the rope was placed with Lord Sukuna's fingers, but also because the swollen form is a physical body that can be seen by ordinary people.

He always felt that Hisahito Itadori was in danger at school, so he went to the school rooftop to spy on him with binoculars. The teachers had complained to Rimei several times, and Hisahito Itadori didn't want his spies to keep coming to his school.

"Oh well."

After pondering Itadori Yasuke's insistence on being hospitalized, Hisahito felt somewhat saddened by it and decided to bring the old man back.

The three of them carried the thermos to the hospital in Sendai, while Hisahito Itadori listened to his seniors tell ghost stories they had heard.

Yuujin, who knew about certain unknown entities since childhood, joined the paranormal research club at school, not for any other reason than that he didn't want his classmates to do anything reckless and actually get involved with cursed spirits.
