Shibuya Station, first floor.

A boy with pink hair and a mechanical body with green eyes walked through the quiet station.

They walked down another flight of stairs, their nerves extremely tense. At such a moment, enemies could appear at any time, and the atmosphere became incomparably heavy for a moment.

Feeling that the atmosphere was too stiff, Yuji decided to break the silence and wanted to liven things up between the two.

He said, "Mechamaru, why don't you use your real body to execute the mission?"

Mechamaru: "..."

Far away in the basement, the true body of Mechamaru couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out of anger.

"Seriously, man, your question is just as idiotic as asking someone in a wheelchair why they don't just stand up and walk. I really don't know how you could even ask that."

Yuji sensed the deep resentment emanating from Mechamaru and realized immediately that he had said the wrong thing. He hurriedly rubbed the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.

"I might have spoken out of turn. Sorry, but what exactly is wrong with your true body?"

"Due to a Heavenly Restriction involving Cursed Energy, my true body was born disabled and is fundamentally unable to walk like a normal person. My body is incredibly fragile, even exposure to sunlight causes burns. I have to soak in nutrient solution every day just to survive. Do you have anything else you want to ask?"

Yuji fell silent, knowing his words had made Mechamaru very unhappy. After all, with a true body in such a miserable state, one would certainly not want to talk about it with others. Yet, he had repeatedly asked about the other party's pain, essentially tearing open their wounds in a bloody mess.

The two continued to walk forward in silence until they passed a corner.

Just then, Yuji, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly looked up. Cursed Energy ignited on both his fists, and he looked ahead with a cautious expression.

Mechamaru's palms expanded, forming two black holes. Massive fluctuations of Cursed Energy gathered in his palms, ready to fire lasers at any moment.

They saw two figures appear at the corner.

The person on the left was over 1.8 meters tall. His black pupils were accented with purple. He had almost no hair on his head, save for a few tufts standing upright. His muscles were neatly defined, making him look very robust, and his face was covered in various nails, making him look just like a street thug.

At the same time, this person wasn't wearing any clothes, only straps tied around his body. He looked quite flamboyant and was currently standing in a seductive pose.

If this person was just strange in appearance and clothing, the one on the right could be said to have completely lost any human form. With a massive body reaching 3 meters in height, his bloated frame was filled with large amounts of pus. Cyan skin covered his entire body, his facial features were twisted together, and short, weak limbs grew haphazardly from this bloated torso.

These two were Eso and Kechizu, who had been ordered to block the advancing Jujutsu Sorcerers, and they happened to run into the duo of Yuji and Mechamaru.

Kechizu let out a strange, cackling laugh, causing more pus and blood to ooze from his twisted features.

"Nii-san, we've finally encountered Jujutsu Sorcerers this time, and they don't look weak either. Should we kill them both?"

Eso rested his chin on his hands and moved his right foot behind his left, striking an even more perverted pose that, combined with his robust muscles, was incredibly jarring.

"Then let us two brothers join forces to kill the two Jujutsu Sorcerers in front of us. Come on."

Such powerful Cursed Energy fluctuations... at least at the Grade 1 level but not yet at the Special Grade level.

Yuji calculated in his mind, then turned his head to exchange a look with Mechamaru beside him, and they launched an attack simultaneously.

Yuji pushed off with both feet, his figure flying out at a terrifying speed. The ground where his feet had been was left with two small craters. He swung his fists, with Cursed Energy swirling around his body.

Mechamaru's eyes burst with light, and the hole in his palms condensed a large amount of energy, suddenly streaking through the air.

Kechizu and Eso hadn't expected the two Jujutsu Sorcerers to attack first, but they reacted quickly, with countless amounts of blood erupting from behind them.

The four individuals' Cursed Energy fluctuations collided, shattering the ceiling above.

Mechamaru discovered that the opponent's blood was difficult to evaporate directly with lasers, so he simply increased the output power of his Cursed Energy, continuing to raise the number and rate of the lasers.

Kechizu and Eso realized that their opponent's lasers couldn't be blocked by blood, so they also increased their Cursed Energy output. The blood became more solid, and its quantity increased rapidly.

As for Yuji...

"Aaargh!"

He was caught in the middle of both sides' attacks and beaten until his skin was torn and flesh mangled. If not for his naturally thick health bar, he probably would have been roasted alive by that last hit.

Shibuya, fifth basement level.

The remaining hundreds of humans, hundreds of Sugurus, as well as the quartet of Jogo, Mahito, Choso, and Hanami, were all frozen in place, their eyes devoid of focus.

Their consciousness had been affected by Satoru's Domain. Their brains were flooded with an massive amount of chaotic information, making it impossible for them to form a single thought.

As for the culprit, Satoru, he was currently wearing a bright green hat, sitting slumped on the ground, crying and laughing at the same time.

He knelt before Jogo and shouted, "Why won't you let me forgive you! I'm really so sorry! Say something, please, let me forgive you! Don't give me the silent treatment like this, okay? Can you please say something? Don't ignore me like this, I'm begging you!"

Kenjaku, who had rushed over from afar, watched this scene. Even with his thousand years of composure and vast experience, he couldn't help but freeze on the spot.

Watching Satoru, who was crying, laughing, and rolling around on the ground begging for forgiveness, the corners of his lips twitched uncontrollably.

I must have walked onto the wrong set or maybe I ate some poisonous mushrooms. Or maybe... did someone cast an illusion on me? Which Jujutsu Sorcerer is it?
