three days later.

On the edge of a forest on the outskirts of Tokyo.

Dong Yangping stood in the shade of a large tree, his eyes closed.

Ten kilometers away, there is an ordinary two-story building.

White walls and gray tiles, a few hydrangeas planted at the entrance, and a few baby clothes hanging in the yard.

It looks no different from the surrounding houses.

But in his magnetic field perception, there were two familiar auras hidden in that house.

A cold, viscous mass, like a slowly writhing swamp—the Lu Suo.

Another fiery, violent force, like a sleeping beast—Polygonum cuspidatum.

Dong Yangping opened his eyes, his expression somewhat subtle.

"What's wrong?" Yuki asked.

"They didn't run away," Dong Yangping said. "They're right here in Tokyo, less than 30 kilometers from where the last battle took place."

He frowned slightly.

"You didn't run away?"

"Yes." Dong Yangping nodded. "And..."

"And they live together. Like a normal family."

Tsukumo Yuki paused for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"See for yourself."

Dong Yangping raised his hand, a blue arc of electricity crackling at his fingertips. He gently touched the forehead of Ninety-Nine Yuki.

The next second, a scene flashed through Tsukumo Yuki's mind—

That was an "image" projected directly from Dongyang Ping's perception of the magnetic field.

An ordinary house.

In the living room, a woman sat on the sofa, holding a baby.

The woman was wearing loose loungewear, a gentle smile on her face, and gently rocking the child in her arms.

The baby was very small, about four or five months old, pink and tender, waving his little hands and babbling.

Beside them, a pink-haired man squatted down, awkwardly extending a finger for the baby to hold. He also had a smile on his face.

Beside them, an elderly man with gray hair sat in a chair, watching this scene with a complex expression on his face—warning, helplessness, and a hint of... relief?

Tsukumo Yuki was stunned.

"This...this is..."

"Tōsō. Kōjō Jin. Kōjō Yasuke," said Tōyōhei, "and that child."

He withdrew his finger.

They live together. Just like a normal family.

Yuki Tsukumo spoke up: "That woman... is she really the evil Rosne you mentioned?"

"Yes," Dong Yangping said. "The magnetic fields I marked are now crystal clear."

"But she..."

"I know what you're trying to say," Dong Yangping interrupted her. "I find it unbelievable too."

"But that's the truth. That guy who's lived for thousands of years is now breastfeeding a human baby."

Shen Er didn't say anything. When Dong Yangping was around, he just had to follow orders.

"What should we do?" Yuki Tsukumo asked. "Should we still kill them?"

Dong Yangping said earnestly, "Of course, don't be fooled by appearances. This kind of existence can no longer be viewed through the lens of common sense."

For the next three days, Dong Yangping kept a close watch on the house.

He used magnetic field perception to record the details of everyone's life inside.

Every morning at six o'clock, Watanabe Yasuke would get up, go to the nearby park, and then buy a newspaper.

Hu Zhangren leaves home at eight o'clock every day to go to work at a construction company and returns home at six o'clock in the evening.

Lu Suo stays home every day taking care of the children, cooking, and cleaning. Her cooking is delicious, and Hu Zhang Ren can eat several large bowls of it every time.

On weekends, the family of three would go shopping at the nearby supermarket. Rōsō would push the stroller, Itadori Jin would carry the shopping bags, and Itadori Yasuke would follow behind, looking like an ordinary retired old man.

Sometimes, Itadori Jin would hold Hisahito in his arms and sunbathe in the yard. Rōsaku would sit beside them, watching them with a gentle smile on his face.

Dong Yangping had seen that kind of smile many times.

That's a laugh only happy people can have.

"This is fucking..." Dong Yangping withdrew his senses and rubbed his temples.

He found himself unable to do it.

It's not that I'm afraid I can't win, it's that I can't bear to.

That scene was so heartwarming.

It was so heartwarming that it made you wonder if the battle that night was just a dream.

Day .

Higashiyohira finally got his chance. Itadori Yamasuke went out, taking Itadori Hisahito with him.

There were only two people in the living room.

Lu Suo sat on the sofa reading a book.

Hu Zhangren sat next to her, also holding a book.

But Dong Yangping noticed that Hu Zhangren's eyes were not on the book.

He was looking at Lu Suo with a focused and gentle gaze.

Like looking at a very important person.

Lu Suo seemed to sense it and looked up at him.

"What's wrong?"

Hu Zhangren shook his head, lowered his head, and continued reading.

Lu Suo smiled and reached out to touch his face.

Hu Zhangren's body stiffened slightly, but he quickly relaxed.

As Dong Yangping watched this scene, his sense of unease grew stronger.

Not right.

Something's not right.

He heightened his senses and focused his attention on Dr. Hu Zhangren.

Then he noticed—Pinus tigrin's pupils were trembling slightly.

The trembling was so slight that it was imperceptible to the naked eye.

However, it is clearly visible under magnetic field sensing.

That's a physiological reaction that only occurs when emotions fluctuate wildly.

At this moment, Urajima Jin's expression was clearly calm.

It even carried a hint of tenderness, but his pupils were trembling.

Now is a good time to make a move, but Shen Er and Jiu Jiu Yuki are not around, so Dong Yangping decides to play it safe.

Day .

The opportunity has arrived, and Itadori Yamasuke has gone out.

Hisahito Itadori was also taken away—Itadori Yamasuke pushed the stroller to the park for a walk.

In the living room, Lu Suo sat on the sofa reading a book.

Hu Zhangren sat next to her.

Everything looks the same as yesterday.

But Dong Yangping knew that something was about to happen.

Because he saw—Philodendron Huzhangren stood up.

His movements were slow and natural, as if he were going to pour a glass of water.

He walked behind Lu Suo.

Lu Suo didn't turn around; she was still reading.

Hu Zhangren stopped in his tracks.

He stood behind Lu Suo, looking down at her.

That gaze was very complex.

There is tenderness, there is pain, there is hatred, and there is also—love.

Then, he made his move.

For a moment, Dongyang Ping almost thought he was seeing things.

It was as if a switch had been flipped on Hu Zhangren's body.

That dull, slow, and lukewarm feeling has completely disappeared.

Instead, a real ferocious beast has taken its place.

His speed was incredibly fast, even faster than when he fought Dong Yangping.

He punched Lu Suo in the back of the head.

That punch carried immense magical power.

That curse power was not the simple physical enhancement it had been before.

Instead, it was a heat and ferocity never before seen.

It's as if it wants to tear everything apart.

Lu Suo reacted quickly as well.

She sensed danger and lunged forward instantly, simultaneously unleashing her full anti-gravity field.

But it didn't work.

Urajima Jin's fist pierced directly through the anti-gravity field.

That was pure power.

It is a terrifying force capable of tearing space apart.

"Domain Expansion—"

For the first time, Hu Zhangren's voice became clear.

"—'Soul Shattering Prison'."

In an instant, the entire living room was enveloped by an invisible force.

That's not an ordinary field.

Lu Suo screamed in agony, feeling her soul being torn apart.

It felt like countless hands were trying to pull her out of her body.

"you--!"

She finally turned around.

What I saw was Dr. Hokujo's blood-red eyes.

Those eyes held madness, lucidity, and endless hatred.

"Damn it."

Dr. Hu Zhangren's voice was so hoarse it sounded like it came from hell.

"Get out of Kaori's body!"

The second punch landed squarely on Lu Suo's face.

"Bang--!"

Kaori Itadori's head exploded.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

Bone fragmentation.

In an instant, Kaori Itari, the perfect vessel, was transformed into a headless corpse.
