• Tengu adapted to its injuries and continued fighting at close range, but Shen Yuanyi eventually cut it apart, and its body fell to pieces.

After defeating the Tengu, Shen Yuanyi learned that a secret ritual could grant cursed techniques at the cost of most of a subject’s lifespan, and that thieves had stolen six Cursed Objects, including the Heavenly Cloud Sword. The chapter ended with Geto Suguru revealing that an experiment had produced an unexpected gain, though restoring the power behind it would remain difficult.

Shen Yuanyi investigated the cinema killings, protected Itadori Yuji while he befriended Yoshino Junpei, and hunted transfigured humans linked to Mahito. After Mahito and Geto Suguru set a new plan in motion, Shen Yuanyi rushed to a school massacre and confronted a Special Grade Cursed Spirit called Bone Woman.

• After receiving an urgent report of a Curtain and mass deaths at a school, Shen Yuanyi rushed there and found Bone Woman among the bodies in the auditorium.

Shen Yuanyi destroyed the Bone Demon after uncovering how it shifted its vital point, while Geto Suguru’s group studied the fight and discussed plans to exploit human weaknesses. At the massacre site, Itadori Yuji swore to exorcise Mahito, and Shen Yuanyi left with him and Yoshino Junpei.

During the Kyoto Goodwill Event, the battles shifted in the students’ favor until an emergency report sent Shen Yuanyi and Gojo Satoru to investigate a likely Special Grade Cursed Spirit in Shizuoka. Gojo warned that the incident might be a trap designed to distract them from Jujutsu High and its Sukuna’s Finger, leaving him waiting while Shen Yuanyi went ahead alone.

• Gojo took Shen Yuanyi to a deserted roadside in Shizuoka, and Shen vanished to investigate while Gojo waited before returning.

Shen Yuanyi investigated a prison where two Special Grade cursed spirits had killed everyone inside. He discovered that one spirit attacked souls and repeatedly revived as a one-eyed cat-like Matatabi, then killed it for good after eighty-six deaths.

• Shen Yuanyi entered the prison and found prisoners and staff dead from blood loss, while an unseen attacker killed another prisoner before him.

• Shen Yuanyi activated Time Stop, revealed the cat-shaped cursed spirit fused with human bodies, and struck it down.

• Shen Yuanyi warned Gojo-sensei that the Shadow Net video could expose jujutsu to ordinary people and cause a dangerous response.

• After negotiations failed and American forces escalated their military presence, the Jujutsu World united and prepared for Gojo Satoru’s mission.
