After two and a half hours, at the hospital.
After a two-and-a-half-hour drive, Megumi Fushiguro brought Jie Jian and the others to the hospital.
In one of the wards, everyone met Megumi Fushiguro's older sister, Tsumiki Fushiguro.
Seeing so many people come with her "younger brother," Tsumiki Fushiguro looked at Megumi Fushiguro somewhat flustered.
Seeing this, Megumi introduced them. "Tsumiki, these are all my friends."
Tsumiki visibly relaxed.
Covering her mouth, she smiled at Megumi.
"I never thought you'd have so many friends. My Megumi has grown up."
"Shut up! You're so annoying."
The siblings' banter brought a trace of smiles to Yuji Itadori and the others' faces, which had been clouded by the Culling Game.
Yuji looked at Tsumiki Fushiguro at the right moment.
"Miss Fushiguro, we came to take you to join the Culling Game."
"Have you gathered enough points?"
Tsumiki Fushiguro's face lit up with joy.
She had long known about Megumi Fushiguro's plan to add a rule allowing players to leave the Culling Game for 100 points.
Since Megumi Fushiguro had brought her to join the Culling Game today, didn't that mean they had gathered enough points?
Yuji scratched his head awkwardly.
"Um... actually, not yet."
The joy on Tsumiki Fushiguro's face suddenly faded.
Seeing this, Megumi Fushiguro hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over for Yuji.
"Tsumiki, you don't need to worry. The Barrier now has rules allowing points to be freely transferred and everyone to enter and leave freely."
"Even though we still can't get you out of the Culling Game, once you register as a player, you can just come back out."
However, after hearing Megumi Fushiguro's words, Tsumiki Fushiguro's attention was drawn to something else.
She asked in surprise.
"You mean people can now enter and leave the Culling Game Barriers freely?"
Without thinking, Megumi Fushiguro nodded directly.
"Yeah."
However, he did not notice that after getting her answer, the curve of Tsumiki's lips rose a little too high.
At that moment, no one present would have thought there was anything wrong with the scene.
But one person truly was an exception!
As someone who knew everything, Jie Jian smiled as he watched Tsumiki Fushiguro continue acting.
Of everyone present, only he knew that the Tsumiki Fushiguro before them was no longer herself.
The one occupying this body now was an ancient sorcerer named "Yorozu"!
Although he did not know why Yorozu was still pretending to be Megumi Fushiguro's sister, Jie Jian could not be bothered to let her continue.
Suddenly, an arc of electricity flashed.
In the blink of an eye, the electric arc struck "Tsumiki Fushiguro" directly.
Having suddenly been shocked, "Tsumiki Fushiguro" immediately cursed.
"That hurt, asshole!"
Megumi Fushiguro immediately glared at Jie Jian.
"What are you doing?!"
Seeing that the atmosphere had turned tense, Yuji immediately tried to mediate. At the same time, he cautiously glanced at "Tsumiki" and thought to himself.
She's amazing. Fushiguro's sister is so fierce!
Faced with everyone's confusion, Jie Jian smiled faintly and raised a finger to point at "Tsumiki."
"Fushiguro, are you sure the person behind you is still your sister, Tsumiki?"
Megumi Fushiguro instinctively wanted to refute him, but Jie Jian's next words stopped him.
"The voltage of that electric arc just now was no joke. An ordinary sorcerer couldn't withstand it."
Cold sweat instantly ran down Megumi Fushiguro's face.
He suddenly remembered that sorcerers revived through incarnation would inherit all of the original body's memories.
That was why those ancient sorcerers reincarnated within the Barrier had been able to adapt to modern technology so quickly.
Megumi Fushiguro's sister, Tsumiki, had suddenly fallen into a coma for over a year for unknown reasons.
After the Culling Game began, Tsumiki suddenly woke up.
So why had he instinctively assumed that the Tsumiki who woke up was his sister?
At that moment, a cold laugh came from behind him.
"Oh my, I really didn't expect to be found out."
Megumi Fushiguro's heart jolted. He turned around slowly and incredulously, looking at his sister "Tsumiki" with terrified eyes.
He hoped he had misheard her, that everything happening was just a joke.
However, when Megumi saw the expression on "Tsumiki's" face—one he had never seen before—his heart sank sharply.
"Y-you, who are you really?!"
"Me?" "Tsumiki" laughed exaggeratedly. "I'm your sister, Tsumiki! Hahaha!"
After laughing wildly, Yorozu saw that she could no longer keep up the act and directly revealed her identity.
"My name is Yorozu. I'm an ancient sorcerer from a thousand years ago."
Yorozu looked at Megumi Fushiguro with a hint of pity.
"I had quite a lot of fun playing with you these past few days. Now that the Barrier no longer restricts entry and exit, I won't play with you anymore. Goodbye."
Megumi Fushiguro still refused to accept the truth.
He muttered to the "Tsumiki" before him, who was not his sister.
"W-why did you lie to me...?"
To Yorozu, the answer to that question was naturally obvious.
She knew perfectly well that Kenjaku would not give her a second chance at life for nothing.
Since there was a sucker willing to help her leave the Culling Game, she naturally would not miss the chance to get free points.
But now that her act had been exposed, she had no reason to continue pretending.
"Because it was fun, of course."
Yorozu answered Megumi Fushiguro with a smile.
The next moment, a thin dragonfly-like wing suddenly grew from her back. She took off directly from where she stood, turning into a streak of light and vanishing.
Seeing her choose to flee, Yuji and Panda, who had been watching from the sidelines, turned to give chase.
Just then, something unexpected happened!
A tiny mouth suddenly appeared on Yuji's face. It belonged to none other than Sukuna.
Immediately afterward, a word carrying the power of a Binding Vow came from Sukuna's mouth.
"Enchain!"
According to the Binding Vow Yuji and Sukuna had made, once Sukuna spoke the word "Enchain," no matter what happened, Yuji had to unconditionally surrender his body for one minute.
And now, the time had come for that agreement to take effect!
The instant Sukuna took control of Yuji's body, Megumi and Panda noticed it.
Sukuna grabbed Panda beside him and threw him directly away.
Panda's body rolled several times across the floor before finally smashing through a wall and coming to a stop.
Megumi Fushiguro looked at Sukuna in disbelief.
"H-how is this possible? How could Yuji let you out?!"
Sukuna smiled casually. "Who knows?"
He did not tell Megumi Fushiguro about his agreement with Yuji.
Time was short. Next, he had to gamble!
Sukuna began gathering all the cursed energy in his body, funneling a massive amount of power toward Yuji's little finger.
The next moment, Sukuna grabbed Yuji's little finger and pulled hard!
Before everyone's eyes, Yuji's little finger was forcibly torn off.
Sukuna burst into laughter.
It was also Sukuna's first time attempting to turn his soul into a cursed object.
Once he saw that he had succeeded, he laughed maniacally where he stood!
The plan was going perfectly. Next, he only needed to feed the finger to Fushiguro, and he could successfully take over Fushiguro's body!
Megumi Fushiguro had also briefly snapped out of the shock of his sister's death.
Unable to understand the situation, he thought Sukuna had taken over Yuji's body.
Never one to back down under pressure, he immediately clenched his fists and took a stance with one hand high and the other low.
He was about to summon Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga and blow himself up with this bastard Sukuna!
However, with Sukuna's strength, there was no way he would fail to notice.
In a flash, he appeared before Fushiguro and seized his hand, interrupting his summoning ritual.
But what Fushiguro had not expected was that Sukuna did not continue attacking him. Instead, he clamped a hand over Fushiguro's mouth.
Looking at Megumi Fushiguro so close before him, Sukuna could barely contain his wild joy!
He was about to succeed. The finger containing his soul was about to be fed to Megumi Fushiguro!
Given Megumi's current mental state, once his finger entered him, Sukuna would definitely be able to take over this body.
Then, the Ten Shadows Technique would be his!
That powerful Mahoraga would also become his new strength!
However, just as Sukuna thought his plan was about to succeed.
A voice that had been waiting for this moment suddenly exploded beside his ear.
"Sukuna, have you ever been hit by a Lightning-Speed Kick?"
