November 13, 2018, afternoon.

Tokyo No. 1 Colony.

After sending Jie Jian to Jujutsu High, Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro set out to find Angel, Hana Kurusu.

Yuji looked at Fushiguro beside him with some concern.

"Um, Fushiguro, I can handle this myself. Didn't Senior Jie say Sukuna had his eye on your body? You'd be safer staying at Jujutsu High."

At those words, a trace of worry flashed through Fushiguro's eyes.

He did not know why Sukuna had targeted his body, but judging from what had happened at the hospital, Sukuna truly had wanted to shove a finger into his mouth.

Yuji's suggestion was indeed the more suitable option, but Fushiguro did not want to be some tool that needed protecting. He wanted to contribute too.

"I don't want to trouble you all. I want to do my part too."

Fushiguro looked at Yuji, his tone serious and resolute.

"Besides, I'm a Grade 2 Sorcerer. I have confidence in my strength!"

Fushiguro's voice was firm and confident.

He was not an ordinary person. Even if Uraume really came, he could summon Mahoraga and blow him up before being controlled!

It was only because Jie Jian was not there. If he had been, he would have asked him something.

If Kenjaku sent a Grade 2 Curse to catch you, wouldn't you just get blown up?

Can you even beat a Grade 2 Curse?

Yuji can't eat Sukuna's Fingers to save you this time.

Yuji scratched his head in irritation.

"You idiot, what do you mean, trouble? Stop saying such distant things."

Yuji was deeply dissatisfied with Fushiguro's talk of "suicide."

But dissatisfaction was one thing. He knew he could not persuade Fushiguro, so all he could do was try his best to prevent such a situation from happening.

Yuji sighed and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Let's stop talking about Sukuna for now. We need to find Angel, Hana Kurusu, as soon as possible!"

The fingers containing Sukuna's soul and power had already been snatched away by Uraume. Sukuna could revive at any moment.

To fight Sukuna, Yuji had to quickly find Angel, Hana Kurusu, and free Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm.

Fushiguro nodded, concern flashing through his eyes.

"Yes, but where are we supposed to find Hana Kurusu...?"

At the moment, they had no idea where Hana Kurusu was. All they knew from Jie Jian was some information about her appearance.

But as the saying went, you can search high and low without finding something, only for it to fall right into your lap.

Just as Yuji anxiously looked around, wondering where he should go to find Hana Kurusu, a figure suddenly flew into his field of vision from the sky above.

It was a young girl with small wings on her back and a golden halo above her head.

"Uh..." Yuji raised a hand and pointed at the girl. "Fushiguro, doesn't that person look like the Hana Kurusu Senior Jie described?"

"What Hana Kurusu? What are you thinking? How could we just run into her like that?"

Megumi Fushiguro had not believed they could run into Hana Kurusu so easily.

However, the instant he looked up, he froze on the spot.

"Huh! It really does seem to be Hana Kurusu!"

Whether it was the wings on her back or the halo above her head, everything matched Jie Jian's description of Hana Kurusu exactly!

Seeing Hana Kurusu about to fly away, Yuji could not wait another second. He immediately chased after her and shouted toward the sky.

"Angel, Hana Kurusu!"

Hearing someone call her name, Hana Kurusu casually glanced down.

That single glance brought an unbelievable figure into her sight.

Megumi Fushiguro! Is that Megumi Fushiguro?!

Hana Kurusu's heart trembled, and she stopped in midair.

What Fushiguro did not know was that, when Hana Kurusu had been young, she had once been kept captive by a Curse for a period of time.

And the one who had ultimately saved Hana Kurusu was the young Fushiguro back then!

The instant she saw Fushiguro, Hana Kurusu recognized him.

At that moment, Fushiguro's anxious voice came from below.

"Hana Kurusu, wait! We need your help!"

Fushiguro's voice nearly made Hana Kurusu fall straight out of the sky.

She screamed inwardly.

Ahhh! It really is Lord Fushiguro, and he's actually looking for me!

Hana Kurusu forcibly suppressed her joy. After lightly clearing her throat, she slowly descended from the air.

Once she reached the ground, Yuji and Fushiguro hurried over as well.

Yuji looked at Hana Kurusu expectantly.

"Excuse me, are you Angel, Hana Kurusu?"

Hana Kurusu nodded.

"I'm Hana Kurusu, but Angel isn't me."

"Huh?"

Just as Yuji was confused, a small mouth suddenly opened on Hana Kurusu's face.

"I'm Angel. What do you need from me?"

The sudden voice and the mouth on Hana Kurusu's face startled Fushiguro badly.

Yuji, however, felt something familiar about it.

"Ah! Isn't this exactly the same as Sukuna's situation?!"

Hana Kurusu's current condition was identical to how Sukuna had been when he was inside Yuji's body.

Sukuna had also been able to speak by growing mouths on Yuji's body.

At the mention of "Sukuna," Angel's previously calm expression changed!

"What do you mean by that? You've seen Sukuna?!"

One of Angel's major reasons for incarnating and reviving was to kill the other ancient sorcerers.

In her view, once people died, they were dead. How could they revive and interfere with the world again?

And among all the ancient sorcerers, Sukuna, the King of Curses, was Angel's foremost target.

Upon hearing Sukuna's name, Angel immediately became frantic.

Yuji nodded somewhat awkwardly.

"Um, I guess you could say I have... Sukuna used to reside in my body."

"Sukuna was in your body!"

Angel's gaze sharpened, and she instinctively prepared to use Jacob's Ladder to cleanse Yuji.

But the next second, she realized something and spoke in disbelief.

"What do you mean, 'used to'?"

Since he needed Angel's help, Yuji did not hide anything and briefly told her the story of himself and Sukuna.

When she heard that Sukuna had tried to take Fushiguro's body, and that Fushiguro had helplessly released Mahoraga before blowing himself up with Kenjaku, Hana Kurusu's little face turned deathly pale.

She looked at Fushiguro in alarm.

"Ah! Fushiguro, is your body okay?!"

"Uh... I'm fine. Thanks for asking."

Megumi Fushiguro was taken aback, unable to understand why Hana Kurusu was so worried.

However, compared to Fushiguro, Angel cared more about something else.

"You're saying someone defeated Mahoraga? I thought Sukuna was already unmatched in the world. I never expected someone else to be as formidable as him. What Jujutsu High sorcerer is he?"

Although Angel was a sorcerer from a thousand years ago, Mahoraga's reputation had not yet spread in that era.

But after Kenjaku started the Culling Game, while searching for Sukuna, she had learned that Sukuna and Mahoraga had fought a great battle in Shibuya.

Although Sukuna had ultimately won, the process had apparently not been easy.

"It was Senior Jie Jian. Angel, you might know him."

"So it was him. He was actually that strong..."

The name Jie Jian immediately awakened Angel's memories of Tokyo No. 2 Colony.

At the time, she had heard the sound of an exploding thunderbolt and followed it, finding Jie Jian shortly after his battle with Hajime Kashimo had ended.

Previously, Angel had only been able to sense that Jie Jian was very strong. She had not expected him to be this strong.

He could even defeat an opponent whom Sukuna had to struggle to beat.

Yuji's voice interrupted Angel's shock.

"Angel, Sukuna can revive at any moment. I need your power to help save Teacher Satoru Gojo!

Teacher Gojo is the strongest Jujutsu High sorcerer of the modern era. With him here, we can definitely defeat Sukuna."

Nothing was more important than defeating Sukuna.

Originally, Angel had wanted Yuji to defeat Sukuna before agreeing to help him.

But now that Sukuna could revive at any time, there was no time to delay any longer.

"Alright. Where is this Prison Realm you mentioned? I'll help you remove its seal."

"Really?! That's wonderful!" Yuji was so happy he nearly jumped up. "The Prison Realm is at Jujutsu High. I'll take you there right now!"

Yuji could not wait to take Angel to Jujutsu High, undo the Prison Realm's seal, and release Satoru Gojo.

He believed that as long as the invincible Satoru Gojo was there, Sukuna would not be able to cause any trouble!

However, at that moment, an icy voice came from the building ahead.

"I didn't expect you to still be alive. What a surprise."

Yuji and Fushiguro's hearts trembled, because they had seen the person before them not long ago.

And not only had they seen him, they had nearly died at his hands.

"Uraume! Why are you here?!"
