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

Tourists ran frantically through the streets, the distant wail of sirens mingling with the sound of waves to create a chaotic background noise.

Alone on Okinawa Island, which was already gripped by panic, Fushiguro's demonic mind raced as he began to think about everything that had just happened.

Let's break down and reassemble each of the details we just discussed, and then analyze them again.

There is probably only one person who can fool Gojo with their appearance.

That was in 2009, in the current timeline.

If you style your hair like a sea urchin and hide your muscular physique under a long shirt like a college uniform, it's impossible to tell the difference.

Shen'er's figure was already similar to Fukuro's, and with a little disguise, he was enough to fool people. In addition, there was the dim light in the corridor and the fatigue of Gojo Satoru's Six Eyes after working overtime.

All the conditions combined to create this perfect assassination.

They had hoped to make Gojo Gosho their strongest fighter, but they never expected the situation to change so quickly.

Fu Hei gritted his teeth, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

He summoned Shen'er, who then drew a bloody gash on his body, using the pain to stimulate his dazed mind.

Enshika needs to stay by Gojo's side to continue treatment and cannot participate in the battle.

Therefore, Fukuro now only has one available shikigami slot.

In battle, Fukuro can only summon, deactivate, and summon again to switch shikigami.

This means he cannot use multiple shikigami simultaneously for synergy, cannot execute complex combo tactics, and cannot use another shikigami to save the day at crucial moments.

The strategy of hiding one's father was directly blocked, which greatly reduced Fuhei's combat effectiveness.

I'm already in this district.

And you've banned my strongest tactics?

If they were to face off against Shen'er, in a battle between two powerful opponents, the unequipped Fu Hei would actually be at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Fukuro can only unleash his domain at the start of the battle, relying on its high performance to quickly end the fight.

To avoid being caught by the loophole after the circuit breaker trips.

"Ten Shadows Technique, Father, come!"

Shen Er instantly emerged from the shadows. Without the slightest hesitation, he bent down and lifted Fu Hei up, letting Fu Hei straddle his shoulders.

Fuhei straddled it, immediately launching a combination attack.

Ride a big horse!

The ultimate physical body of the Heavenly Tyrant, with its dark figure running through the forest, left afterimages with every step, leaving deep footprints on the ground.

The scenery rushed past in Fu Hei's vision, several times faster than he could move using his curse.

A father riding a horse with his son – what a harmonious and loving scene.

Fu Hei continued to accelerate, pursuing the afterimage.

……

……

On the other side of the island, under the cover of countless cursed spirits, Gojo Satoru's treatment and recovery went very smoothly.

Amidst the continuous reversal of light, the almost bloodless body finally managed to exhale again from its throat.

"Jay?"

Gojo Satoru opened his eyes with difficulty, his pupils slowly moving until they finally settled on Natsuyuki's face, which was filled with worry.

"Enlightenment!"

Xia Youjie could not contain his excitement; his eyes reddened slightly, and his voice choked with emotion.

"It's so good that you're awake again."

He reached out his hand, wanting to help Gojo Satoru up.

However, when faced with Xia Youjie's kind greeting, what appeared on Wujiao Wu's face was not the relief of surviving a disaster, but an extremely serious fear.

Gojo Satoru frowned, his eyes filled with anxiety, as if there was something more important than his injuries that urgently needed to be confirmed:

"Where is Teacher Yuki?"

Xia Youjie responded:

"I chased the fake one away, and the real one was chased after by Mr. Ki alone."

Xia Youjie paused, then added, trying to reassure Gojo Satoru:

"Teacher Yuki has already identified the attacker; it should be an assassin from the Heavenly Curse."

"Rest assured, Gojo, we must trust Professor Yuki."

Natsume recounted everything that had happened while Gojo was unconscious.

Unexpectedly, when Gojo Satoru heard the words "heaven and curse," his brows furrowed even more deeply, and his clenched hands trembled again.

"No."

"Mr. Yuki made a mistake."

Gojo Satoru decisively and completely refuted Natsume and Fushiguro's claims.

Upon hearing this, Natsume also frowned, not understanding why Gojo Satoru was so certain.

Just as he was about to try to refute something, he was completely stunned by Gojo's terrified eyes and could only let Gojo continue:

"The attacker didn't fool me just because of his appearance!"

"My six eyes recognized it clearly; both the incantation and the spell were exactly like Yuki-sensei's!"

"Spells and incantations cannot be faked!"

"If it's as simple as Professor Yuki says, just an assassin bound by heaven and curse, then my Six Eyes should have recognized him immediately as not Professor Yuki."

"With my six eyes, there's no way I could be wrong!"

It was indeed Fushiguro's haste in pursuing them before Gojo Satoru had even woken up; he hadn't considered any other circumstances.

The reasoning is based on mere phrases and the assumption that "only Shen Er could disguise himself as Fu Hei to carry out the assassination."

But what if this assumption itself is wrong? What if the enemy possesses capabilities they never imagined?

Even the [Imitation] technique cannot possibly display the exact same residual curse power.

Yi Gu used the Ten Shadows, but the remaining remnants were still Yi Gu's; it was impossible to create a second identical source of curse power out of thin air.

unless……

"That attacker, if not in disguise, is none other than Teacher Yuki!"

Gojo Satoru shouted excitedly, even coughing up blood despite having just recovered from his injuries.

Blood stained Gojo's face again, but it couldn't stop his rage.

"I still don't understand what you mean."

Xia Youjie scratched his head, trying to understand the meaning of Wu Tiao's words, but he could never grasp the key point.

"What I mean is, the enemy is the real Yuki-sensei."

"It's not just imitating this low-grade stuff; it's conjuring up a real Yuki-sensei!"

"Conjure..."

Xia Youjie murmured the word repeatedly.

"Can he conjure up a second Yuki-sensei?!"

"Imitation? No."

Gojo paused, their gazes meeting in the air, as if something had suddenly connected their thoughts, causing them to speak in unison:

"The enemy's ability is—"

"clone?!"

"Because Ryouso obtained the necessary conditions to clone Professor Yuki early on, he was unable to replicate Professor Yuki's purple lips after a long day of hard work!"

The information is here at this moment.

Completely closed loop.

The clone is a perfect replica, a replica of Teacher Yuki at her peak, not Teacher Yuki who stayed up all night.

This tiny detail, the excessively vibrant blood color, ironically exposed the flaw in the entire plan.

Even so, this ability is still terrifyingly suffocating.

It can create an exact replica of a person out of thin air, with the same memories, the same spells, and the same magical power.

This is no longer a disguise, but a creation.

An unprecedented shock enveloped the two of them. Gojo Satoru and Natsuyuki looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

"If that's the case, then who is Yuki-sensei pursuing...?"
