Thanks to Hajime Kashimo, people could now enter and leave the barrier freely.
So, after settling his "final affairs," Higuruma chose to leave the barrier and turn himself in at the police station, facing the murders he had committed head-on.
Maki reached toward Hiromi Higuruma's retreating back, wanting to say something, but ultimately kept her mouth shut.
She really wanted to tell Higuruma that turning himself in would be pointless.
For a Grade 1 Sorcerer like Higuruma, this country probably wouldn't even put him on trial.
Unless he slaughtered people on a massive scale like Suguru Geto had, Jujutsu Society wouldn't send anyone to hunt him down.
"Forget it." Maki shook her head. "Jujutsu Headquarters will step in anyway. They wouldn't let a worker like Higuruma slip through their fingers."
Maki knew just how short-handed Jujutsu Society was. Headquarters wouldn't even let a Grade 4 Sorcerer like Kasumi Miwa go, much less someone as capable as Higuruma.
They were bound to meet again anyway, so Maki didn't bother calling after him.
Maki looked down at her waist.
The cursed tool confiscated by Higuruma's domain hadn't returned when he dismissed it.
Seeing this, Jie Jian couldn't help speaking up.
"Higuruma's courtroom is a total rip-off! How come it confiscates things but never gives them back?"
Maki nodded in firm agreement.
Exactly. What a rip-off!
As the "Heavenly Tyrant," she still relied heavily on cursed tools.
Now that hers was gone, she really did have a problem!
If she ran into a cursed spirit, was she supposed to kill it or not?
"Forget it. What's done is done. Let's head home."
Maki had taken out pretty much every formidable fighter in the Tokyo No. 1 Colony. There wasn't much left worth worrying about.
Megumi Fushiguro and Panda should have entered the barrier
