Panda and Yuji Itadori dropped to their knees in despair.
They could not blame Jie Jian either. After all, the Culling Game was fraught with danger, so it was understandable that he had killed Hana Kurusu.
Seeing their condition, Jie Jian called out helplessly.
"Why are you kneeling on the ground? When did I say Hana Kurusu was dead?"
"Huh?"
Panda looked up in confusion.
"Didn't you say Angel wasn't in this colony?"
"That's right. She isn't in this colony. She went to Tokyo No. 1 Colony."
Panda raised a paw and scratched his panda head in confusion.
"Doesn't the colony prevent players from leaving? How did Hana Kurusu get out?"
Jie Jian sighed at Panda.
"It's because of her cursed technique. Hana Kurusu's cursed technique can nullify all cursed techniques, which naturally includes the Culling Game's colonies."
"That powerful?!"
The three Jujutsu High students cried out in admiration.
They had not expected Angel Hana Kurusu's cursed technique to be so overwhelmingly powerful that it could even nullify the Culling Game's colonies.
Panda suddenly scratched his head in frustration.
"Why did Hana Kurusu run off to Tokyo No. 1 Colony? We're in the second colony now, so doesn't that mean we can't find her?"
Jie Jian actually knew the answer to that.
When the Culling Game had just begun, Jie Jian's battle with Hajime Kashimo had drawn Hana Kurusu over.
Hana Kurusu did not excel in combat, and Jie Jian could not be bothered to fight her. They had merely chatted for a while before parting ways.
He looked at Panda and explained.
"That's because Angel's purpose in incarnating was to eliminate all ancient sorcerers who had incarnated.
Since Kenjaku had placed battle maniac Hajime Kashimo in the second colony, he had not placed many ancient sorcerers there.
Angel couldn't find any ancient sorcerers in this colony, so she left directly. She should be in Tokyo No. 1 Colony now."
Jie Jian's explanation made Panda and Yuji breathe a sigh of relief.
Since Angel was still alive, Satoru Gojo could still be saved. There was still time for everything.
However, Momo Nishimiya's expression changed at that moment.
"Y-you said who is here? Hajime Kashimo!"
Unlike Panda and Yuji, Momo was not an illiterate fool.
She knew exactly who Hajime Kashimo was!
"Is Hajime Kashimo famous?"
Yuji looked at Momo in confusion.
"Of course he's famous, you idiot!" Momo glared at Yuji irritably. "Hajime Kashimo was the strongest sorcerer four hundred years ago, said to have never lost a single battle!"
"Damn, he's that strong?! Doesn't that make him really dangerous?!"
Panda nervously looked around, afraid Hajime Kashimo might suddenly emerge from somewhere.
And for some reason, the moment Panda heard Hajime Kashimo's name, he felt uneasy.
However, Panda's worries were unnecessary.
Jie Jian raised a hand. "Uh... you don't need to worry about that. Hajime Kashimo is already dead."
The three looked at Jie Jian, and a guess immediately surfaced in their minds.
Momo cautiously spoke up.
"You killed Hajime Kashimo?"
Jie Jian nodded and sighed somewhat guiltily.
"It was all my fault. I didn't mean to kill him at first, but I accidentally one-shot him. Isn't that awkward?"
What did he mean, he accidentally one-shot him?
Was Hajime Kashimo some random nobody off the street?

At this point, the three Jujutsu High students could not say anything. They could only stammer out an agreement.
"R-right, Brother Jie, don't be too upset. It isn't your fault."
The three did not dare to continue dwelling on that topic.
Panda hurriedly spoke up.
"Then we need to hurry to Tokyo No. 1 Colony and find Hana Kurusu!"
"But how do we get there? We can't nullify the colony ourselves," Momo countered.
As soon as she finished speaking, both of them looked at Yuji.
Didn't they have one hundred points now?
It seemed they could add a rule to directly remove the colony's restrictions on players!
Seeing their looks, Yuji scratched his head.
"Uh... didn't we say we'd first add a rule allowing us to spend points to find substitutes?"
"Come on, plans can't keep up with changes." Panda hurriedly persuaded him. "Finding substitutes isn't urgent. Finding Angel Hana Kurusu and saving Gojo-sensei is what matters most."
Yuji nodded at that.
Indeed, adding the rule to find substitutes was something Megumi Fushiguro had come up with to save his sister.
But that rule was not urgent. His sister could still hold on for a few days. Saving sealed Gojo was more pressing.
Having thought that through, Yuji no longer hesitated and immediately summoned the Gold Beetle to add a rule.
"Gold Beetle, I want to add a new rule. Players are to be allowed to freely enter and leave the colonies."
As Yuji's words fell, the new rule was immediately added to the Culling Game.
[Ding dong! A player has added a new rule to the Culling Game. Rule 10: Players are allowed to freely enter and leave the colonies.]
Once the rule had been added, Yuji and Panda exchanged a look.
"Yuji, let's hurry to Tokyo No. 1 Colony."
"Okay, let's get going!"
However, at that moment, Jie Jian suddenly called out to stop them.
"Wait a moment."
"What is it, Brother Jie?"
"It's nothing. When you go, could you take me with you? I want to check out the first colony too."
After hesitating for a moment, Yuji immediately nodded.
"Sure. It'd be best if you were willing to come with us, Brother Jie."
Though he did not know Jie Jian's purpose, the fact that he had secured ninety-six points on his own proved that his strength was certainly not a problem.
With such a helper by their side, saving Satoru Gojo and ending the Culling Game would be much easier!
Jie Jian's reason for following Yuji was also simple.
He had come here to challenge Sukuna.
And what could make it easier to find an opportunity to challenge Sukuna than staying by Yuji's side?
"Haha, then I'll act together with you."
Jie Jian laughed twice, then turned to Charlie, who was directing the survivors behind him as they transferred their points, and called out.
"Charlie, you saw that the new rule was added, right? Help everyone here leave the colony later. Yuji and I are going to another colony to take care of something."
Jie Jian was not the only one happy about the new rule. The surrounding survivors were happy as well.
Although Jie Jian had protected them well, they were still afraid of the Culling Game colony.
Now that they were no longer bound by the colony, they could finally leave this damned place!
At this time, Momo Nishimiya from Jujutsu High also offered to help evacuate the nearby survivors.
After settling everything, Jie Jian and Yuji officially set off for Tokyo No. 1 Colony.
Yuji had only one goal this time.
It was to find Angel Hana Kurusu and rescue the sealed Gojo.
Jie Jian's goal was equally simple.
He would stay beside Yuji and wait for Sukuna to appear, then eagerly let him witness his Undying Thunder.
Jie Jian had a feeling that Sukuna was about to emerge!
