Absolute Power Overwhelms!

Compared to Yuta Okkotsu's delight, Satoru Gojo showed no visible change in emotion.

From the beginning, he had expected Lu Lu to come with him.

After all, no matter how powerful a sorcerer was, he would not be foolish enough to oppose a world-class force from the very start.

Seeing the two of them come out, Satoru Gojo headed straight for the site of last night's incident without looking back.

"Since you've already made your choice, I won't waste any more words, Lu Lu."

"How much do you know about Cursed Spirit or cursed energy?"

Hearing Satoru Gojo's words, Lu Lu shook his head. What a joke—he did not possess even a trace of cursed energy.

Although he could see Cursed Spirits, and Star Platinum could directly harm them, he had not yet figured out why.

"Then I'll keep it brief. Cursed Spirits are exactly what they sound like—beings formed from intense emotions such as humanity's negative feelings or curses."

"The more negative emotions accumulate, or the stronger the person who placed the curse is, the stronger the Cursed Spirit becomes."

"Last night, two sorcerers died here with intense hatred in their hearts. Combined with this place's unusual conditions, an exceptionally powerful Cursed Spirit was born after just one night."

"Perhaps because it was only just born, its consciousness isn't especially clear. That's why we managed to get here in time."

By then, Lu Lu had already understood what Satoru Gojo meant by having him handle the matter.

Seeing the expression on Lu Lu's face, Satoru Gojo stopped walking and patted his shoulder approvingly.

"Then I don't need to explain what comes next..."

At the end of the street stood a pitch-black curtain.

Everyone in the surrounding block had already been evacuated, leaving only the three of them.

"This time, Lu Lu and Yuta will be the ones taking action. I'll cover your rear!" A bright smile appeared on his face as he spoke.

Yuta Okkotsu was immediately shocked upon hearing that. He had only joined Jujutsu High yesterday.

He had not even had time to systematically learn how to control the power of his curse, yet after hearing about Lu Lu last night, he had now been dragged directly into an operation.

In truth, this was also Satoru Gojo's selfish motive. He did not hold much hope that these two could properly exorcise this Cursed Spirit.

What he mainly wanted was to see the abilities of the Special Grade imaginary Cursed Spirit, Rika Orimoto.

There was also something else that Satoru Gojo found strange. Whether from the lingering presence at the scene last night or Lu Lu's reaction today—

The two sorcerers from the Zenin Family had undoubtedly been killed by Lu Lu, yet under the observation of his Six Eyes, there was not a trace of cursed energy within Lu Lu's body.

"Strange... Could it be a Heavenly Restriction?"

Naturally, Lu Lu paid no attention to whatever Satoru Gojo was plotting behind him.

The moment Satoru Gojo finished speaking, he stepped into the curtain.

Although Yuta Okkotsu was still hesitant, seeing Lu Lu enter so decisively, he was afraid but also worried for Lu Lu's safety. Gritting his teeth, he followed him inside.

The instant he entered the curtain, Yuta Okkotsu froze. His hair stood on end, and a thin sheen of sweat formed on his forehead.

It was not that he did not want to move. The eerie, terrifying presence inside had overwhelmed him so completely that he could not move at all.

The next second, Yuta's body trembled as an even stranger and more powerful aura burst forth from behind him.

But he desperately restrained that immense power, trying to force her back down.

"Rika... don't... Don't come out now...!"

"Slap!"

Just as Yuta Okkotsu was about to lose control, a large hand landed on his shoulder, and Rika Orimoto's presence vanished without a trace.

Huh...

Okkotsu turned around in surprise. It was Lu Lu, who had entered before him and had somehow come to his side.

Seeing that Lu Lu appeared completely unaffected, Yuta could not help but feel curious. He had just been about to say something when Lu Lu cut him off.

"Stop spacing out. Hurry up and deal with the Cursed Spirit so we can go eat. I don't want to miss breakfast!"

Meanwhile, Satoru Gojo stood behind the two of them, silently watching Lu Lu with an expression full of curiosity.

The power surrounding Lu Lu now intrigued him even more. What kind of curse could suppress even a Special Grade like Rika Orimoto?

"Mm... This time, it seems like we've really encountered something extraordinary..."

Only after the two walked more than ten meters down the alley did Yuta gradually recover.

Just as he was about to thank Lu Lu, he discovered that Lu Lu, who had been walking in front of him, had stopped.

Okkotsu looked ahead curiously, and his pupils abruptly contracted.

The target of their mission stood at the intersection ahead.

A massive monster nearly four meters tall wandered back and forth beneath the traffic lights at the intersection.

Its towering body was incredibly muscular, but it no longer resembled a human. It was built entirely from disgusting tumors leaking pus and blood.

At the top of its body, where its head should have been, two vaguely skull-like shapes could barely be made out.

One shrill and piercing, the other low and deranged—two completely different voices emerged from holes resembling mouths.

"This way? Or this way?"

"Which way is it?"

"Hehehehe... Brother... I think I found them... Behind us..."

The moment the shrill voice finished speaking, the surrounding space seemed to freeze.

Then, the two heads suddenly spun one hundred and ten degrees toward their backs, and four pitch-black holes stared at Lu Lu across the road.

A blood-red light began to flicker.
