The person was chanting a curse, but their hands were wielding the black magic.

"Persuading Gojo Satoru to return to the high school... isn't this task too difficult for us?"

Standing in the waiting room at the Tokyo dock, Nanami finished speaking and then leaned back so that her body slumped completely into the chair, as if all her energy had been drained away.

His head was drooping back, his gaze blankly fixed on the dim fluorescent light on the ceiling.

Unlike the other passengers around them who were chatting and laughing, discussing the sunshine and beaches of Okinawa with expectant faces as they waited to board the ship.

He looked like a prisoner about to be executed, completely out of place in this joyful atmosphere.

"It's alright, Nanami. I believe that Gojo-senpai will understand us."

Instead, it was Haibara Yuu who started persuading Nanami, who still maintained that inexhaustible vitality.

His eyes were completely clear, as if he truly believed that once they reached Okinawa and met Gojo-senpai, all their problems would be solved, and they could return to the high school together with smiles.

The two of them were completely unaware.

Not far away, mingled among the pedestrians, a child's figure was constantly staring at them.

Her fair face revealed unusually sharp eyes, which accurately focused on Nanami and Haibara.

This was Lu Ziyun, who was using her harmless appearance to spy on others.

What Lu Ziyun didn't know was...

Behind him was another figure, his entire face hidden under the brim of his hat.

He was completely covered up, with his hands in his pockets and his shoulders slightly hunched. He stood in a corner of the waiting room, leaning against the wall, trying his best to avoid attracting attention.

He can be described as a mysterious hooded man.

His gaze lingered between Lu Ziyun and Qi Hai, yet a sense of inexplicable fear lingered within him.

He leaned forward slightly, then suddenly pulled back, repeating this several times, as if he were engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and walked away.

"Come forward, kid, are you scared?"

A deep voice came from under the hood, full of malice and mockery, as if laughing at the cowardice of leaving.

"Shut up!"

Immediately afterwards, another voice rang out.

From beneath the hood, the sound of two hands came simultaneously.

Hidden beneath the pink hair is a face that is completely divided into left and right sides.

The left half belongs to Yujin Itadori, his face etched with exhaustion and struggle, his eyes slightly red and bloodshot.

The right half belongs to Su Nuo, revealing his gleaming white teeth and his eyes flashing with a scarlet light.

After swallowing thirty-five finger segments, Hadji's body finally reached its limit.

Now, half of his body has begun to be controlled by Sukuna.

If we approach Lu Ziyun, Fu Hei, or the people from the high school in this unstable state, Su Nuo might end up harming them due to her loss of control!

This forced Itachi to stop and suppress the urge to rush forward and rejoin his companions.

"hateful!"

Itachi forcibly suppressed the restless cursed power within his body, intending to leave this place with Sukuna first.

Find a safe place, then find a way to suppress the King of Curses within you, and then look for a way to reach Okinawa.

boom! ! !

As he moved, Itsuji stomped right through the floor!

The foot pierced through the tiled floor of the waiting room, sending fragments flying in all directions and leaving a jagged hole.

The pedestrians around were startled by the sudden noise and cast frightened glances at them.

After receiving the thirty-five fingers, the power of the cane reached an extremely terrifying level.

In addition, due to the initial binding, he exchanged a lifetime of enhanced spell power for twenty minutes of spell power suppression.

This will further enhance both magical power and physical strength in all aspects!

The number 35 doesn't just refer to Su Nuo.

It's still Japanese knotweed!

The current version of the Tiger Staff will certainly provide more power to fight against the Lu Suo.

However, this same power will also be used by Sukuna, who is gradually losing control of it.

To protect his companions, Itadori could only watch as Nanami boarded the ship bound for Okinawa, seeing Nanami and Haibara's figures gradually shrink on the deck.

Then, as Lu Ziyun stepped into the live house, even though Huzhang didn't understand why Lu Ziyun would go to such a place.

But he knew that everyone has their own path to walk and their own hardships to endure.

"Kid, keep hating me!"

Su Nuo's voice rang out again, sounding very smug.

"Your negative emotions are actually giving me strength!"

Sukuna would occasionally pull up half of his face, which was gradually losing control, and interrupt him, constantly tormenting Itadori's mind.

This was intended to make him lose himself in negative emotions, allowing his anger, fear, and resentment to become the power that nourished Su Nuo, so that he could completely control this body.

"...Is there any other way?"

As he felt his control over his body weaken, Itachi began to falter, and the feeling of being violated filled him with waves of nausea and fear.

"I need to combat negative emotions, but how do I combat the negative emotions caused by Sukuna?"

Walking with difficulty through the streets of Tokyo, Itadori's steps were unsteady and disordered.

Pedestrians hurried past him, no one noticing the boy struggling with the demon within him, no one seeing the struggle and pain in his eyes.

"Surrender, brat! This body is almost mine!"

Su Nuo bared his teeth and brandished his claws, his smile growing increasingly ferocious, as if he were about to pop open the champagne halfway through the event.

"No, Su Nuo."

"I'm the one who will win."

Yuji Itadori stopped in his tracks.

"I've found a way to counter you!"

With unwavering resolve, Tiger Staff met Su Nuo's menacing gaze.

The unprecedented confidence in his eyes froze Su Nuo's smile for a moment, and a barely perceptible unease flashed in his scarlet eyes.

"Go ahead and try it if you dare!"

Sukuna believed that Itachi had no way to resist and let him continue to control her body.

He controlled his body and led it toward a shop whose entrance was filled with thugs.

The shop's signboard flashed with colorful neon lights, making it particularly eye-catching in the night.

Then...

"Small steel ball!"

Standing before the steel balls, unprecedented laughter erupted from beneath the hood.

Hu Zhang's hands moved rapidly across the ball bearing machine, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he pressed buttons and pulled levers with fluid, effortless movements.

Moreover, as the exercise progresses, control over the body is gradually returning.

The muscles on the right side of his face were back under his control, and the split face was gradually becoming unified.

"Impossible, how can you suppress me again?"

"You only hit me with a steel ball, how come you can overpower me!"

Sukuna was terrified at losing control of his body again, yet he was unable to stop Itachi's progress in regaining control.

"If you create enough positive emotions, you can suppress your negative emotions, right?"

"So, all I need to do is enjoy myself, right?"

"Small steel ball!"

Huzhang's hands flew across the ball bearing machine, each pull of the lever bringing a sense of exhilaration.

It was as if all the worries and stress were launched out along with the steel ball.

Steel balls fell like raindrops, the score soared, the machine's music grew more and more exciting, and the colored lights flashed faster and faster.

Hadji was immersed in that pure joy, leaving all his fear, anxiety, and unease behind.

All that's left is this BB machine and the constantly fluctuating numbers.

Finally, just before Lu Ziyun's second debut, she used the money she won from playing pachinko to buy a ferry ticket to Okinawa!

Hisuhito Polygonum cuspidatum has landed in Okinawa!
