In a villa on the outskirts of Tokyo, Tomie spoke calmly with Kenjaku on the phone.
However, the moment she put down the phone, Tomie burst into queen-like laughter.
Tomie had been under too much pressure during this period.
Not only had most of the gathered Curse Users been lost due to the Jujutsu World's crackdown, but even more than a dozen proliferated Tomies had been lost.
If Kenjaku and his group did not act soon, Tomie estimated that she would have to find a way to hibernate or hide while waiting for the next opportunity.
After laughing heartily for a while, Tomie walked to the display cabinet, opened a bottle of red wine, and elegantly savored it.
In Tomie's opinion, she was the most beautiful existence, so the wine she brewed herself was naturally the most beautiful wine.
Sitting in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Tomie began to ponder how much power she still had and how to secure the greatest benefit in the upcoming operation.
It was also on this day that the behavior of the upper-level personnel infected by Tomie began growing increasingly strange.
But when everyone acted strangely, these abnormalities were instead seen as a new trend and were ignored.
In the Tombs of the Star Corridor, Eichi, who was preparing for the final battle, quickly received this intelligence.
Tomie had begun to act.
Thinking of this, Eichi took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, is that Shuji?
Notify our people to get ready. They must be prepared to return to Japan at any time and participate in the work.
That's right. In the next few days, have them come up with a feasible plan, and you personally supervise it.
Not enough manpower? Then promote some from the lower levels. Didn't we prepare a talent reserve before? Select a group from the talent pool, and remember to establish Binding Vows with Cursed Energy when the time comes."
This Binding Vow with Cursed Energy did not necessarily mean absolute loyalty to anyone, but rather a guarantee that they would not reveal information about Japan's Jujutsu to other countries.
After all, in Eichi's vision, the application of Cursed Energy would become an important part of this country in the future.
Therefore, this new batch of important officials all had to make a secrecy Binding Vow with Cursed Energy.
As for how to make them establish a Binding Vow with Cursed Energy?
That was not difficult either.
Even ordinary people possessed more or less Cursed Energy, but they could not detect or perceive it.
Therefore, they could only let this Cursed Energy leak out along with negative emotions like curses, eventually allowing it to accumulate into Cursed Spirits.
Thus, as long as Mahito made a small modification to their brains, they could become Assistant Supervisors, or at least Window-level personnel.
This way, they would be able to perceive and use Cursed Energy, allowing them to establish a Binding Vow affirmed by the Cursed Energy System.
Moreover, this also ensured one thing: this batch of promoted individuals truly had to act for the country and its people.
After all, when they swore an oath before, it was just lip service. Once they left the venue and enough time passed, no one knew what they truly thought.
But now it was different. If they said one thing and did another, then even if the heavens did not strike them down, the Cursed Energy System truly would.
One had to know that Binding Vows with Cursed Energy were something even Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers like Kenjaku did not dare violate.
The King of Curses, who could not be killed even after being ganged up on for dozens of chapters, only exploited loopholes and never made a Binding Vow with Cursed Energy that would be violated.
After arranging matters with Zenin Shuji, Eichi went to Tokyo Jujutsu High's training ground and found a beautiful woman with an androgynous air, wearing a kimono with a jacket draped over it.
"I'll leave the rest to you. Those are inhuman beings who have fallen onto a monstrous path. You can kill them without hesitation."
"Leave it to me."
A fleeting smile appeared on the cold-faced woman's face, then was suppressed again.
After learning that she could act without restraint, she returned to her room and silently wiped her short sword, seemingly preparing for the upcoming battle.
Just then, Eichi saw Yuji scratching his head in the classroom.
He knew Yuji was researching his Domain.
Over the past month, Eichi had Medea and Kusakabe take turns teaching Yuji Barrier Techniques, hoping he could grasp Domain Expansion before the final battle began.
Although he did not know what Yuji's Domain Expansion would ultimately be, based on the available intelligence, it was likely a Domain capable of killing even the King of Curses, Sukuna.
Moreover, unlike the Domain Expansions of ordinary genius Jujutsu Sorcerers, Yuji's Domain was freer and more intricate.
It was not like the others, with only a single, monotonous scene.
So Eichi was actually very much looking forward to what kind of story would unfold between Yuji and Sukuna after Yuji grasped Domain Expansion.
Could it possibly reform Sukuna, then pull him in to fight a massive Cursed Spirit?
Under normal circumstances, Eichi would not think this way, but the problem was that Gege was clearly not normal.
Moreover, Sukuna was Gege's own son, so it was possible that he really would be forcibly redeemed for various reasons in the end, then return to Yuji's body to help them fight the great Cursed Spirit.
Just as in the United States, you could not assume someone's gender, in Jujutsu Kaisen, you also could not assume Gege's thought process.
Watching Yuji scratch his head, Eichi could not help but smile.
This expression was exactly like his own in his previous life during school, scratching his head in front of several rows of books and exercise books stacked over thirty centimeters high on the desk, wishing he could revert to an earlier stage of evolution on the spot.
Nobara was also scratching her head.
Although she looked a little better than Yuji, Nobara's eyes were becoming increasingly vacant.
Finally, the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, hugged Megumi's legs and begged the academic ace for guidance.
Megumi, defeated by the two clowns:...
Eichi watched everything happening in the classroom with a faint smile.
In Eichi's view, this was what students were supposed to be like, and what a scene at Tokyo Jujutsu High should look like.
The original situation, where first-year Tokyo Jujutsu High students had to fight on the battlefield and many students did not live to graduate, was truly unsuitable for Tokyo Jujutsu High and these young people.
Therefore, Eichi cherished this ordinary yet beautiful scene.
He would also do everything to protect this scene...
Thus, the last few days of peace quickly ended.
The sun set, and night enveloped the earth.
At a time that should have belonged to silence, countless lights and alarm sounds appeared one after another.
"Everyone, assemble!"
"Emergency mission. Get your equipment and prepare to depart immediately."
Tokyo, Shibuya.
As one of Tokyo's famous commercial districts, Shibuya boasted a large number of fashion stores, coffee shops, trending spots, entertainment facilities, and adult establishments.
Like Shinjuku, it was one of Tokyo's two sleepless districts.
As one of the centers of trends and fashion, many young people gathered here at all times.
In the sky over Shibuya, layers of Curtains were lowered by the Curse Users.
At the same time, Kyoto.
Countless terrifying figures advanced through the darkness. The hundred demons hidden in the night bared their fangs toward the light.
