Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

A corner of the library at Kyoto College late at night.

On the first day of December, he leaned against the bookshelf, directing Yukichi who was standing beside him.

"The sender should take some technical measures. Although it may not be able to hide it from that guy, at least it will prevent them from having any leverage over it," December said in a low voice.

Kokichi's long, slender fingers danced across the keyboard. "Are you so certain about the intelligence? 'Saitama Prefecture, Hachijūhachi Bridge, Special Grade Curse, Sukuna Finger, Cursed Embryo.' You know the Cursed Spirit's plan so clearly. Are you a spy too, or a double agent?!"

"That's right, I am a double agent, codename..." December 1st stared at Yuko with a wicked grin, "What are you thinking? I painstakingly gathered all this information."

"Look?" Kokichi asked, his face full of questions.

"Don't worry about that. We're allies, I would never harm you."

As the send button was pressed, an anonymous email, powerful enough to shake the entire world of jutsu, silently passed through layers of encrypted networks and landed in Gojo Satoru's mailbox.

Hopefully, this will make him more wary.

......

Saitama Prefecture, the Eighty-Eight Bridges.

A cold evening wind swept across the dry riverbed, making a mournful sound. It was already nightfall, and the entire bridge appeared eerie and sinister under the moonlight.

On the Shinkansen platform, all the second-year students from Kyoto School had gathered. Kamo Kenki remained as calm and composed as ever, while Miwa Kasumi appeared somewhat nervous, frequently tightening her grip on her knife. Makoto leaned against a pillar, twirling her revolver.

"Hey, friends from the Kyoto campus, you're here so early."

A signature flippant voice came from above the stone steps, and Gojo Satoru was still wearing his black teacher's uniform. Behind him, Itadori Yuujin, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugizaki Nobara were sizing up their comrades who had come from afar.

Gojo Satoru's gaze swept over the Kyoto group, lingering only on Yukichi for a moment before he smiled and said, "We received information that a special-grade cursed spirit will appear in this area." Gojo Satoru clapped his hands, his expression instantly becoming more serious. "Well, since the information is so detailed, I won't hesitate to ask the old man from Rakuganji Temple to borrow someone."

Soon, the group stepped into the void beneath the Eighty-Eight Bridges.

Almost the instant he stepped inside, an extremely cold wave of cursed power swept over his entire body. The surrounding scenery distorted in an instant, and the roars of the cyborgs rose and fell from the shadows.

According to the original story, this place should only contain the cursed spirit awakened by the touch of the finger, and the blood-stained and evil aspects of the Nine Phases Diagram. However, the appearance of the new moon in December not only saved Yukichi but also demonstrated considerable power, causing the cursed spirit's plan to change.

Kugizaki Nobara gripped the nail, her eyes scanning warily the shadows that writhed in the darkness around her.

"Everyone be careful, the density of the curse energy here is very abnormal." Fushiguro Megumi formed a hand seal, and his shadow shook violently beneath his feet.

Yuujin Itadori, standing to the side, was full of fighting spirit, his fists already wrapped with the shimmering power of the Jaden Fist. "No matter what comes, I'll just knock it all away!"

Just as everyone was poised to act, several dark figures exuding a top-tier aura slowly emerged from the ruins.

"Oh my, looks like you've prepared quite a bit." Gojo Satoru put one hand in his pocket, looked at the distant dense forest through his blindfold, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. "You've actually prepared such a big gift just for me."

Almost simultaneously, an extremely powerful surge of magical energy erupted in the city center several kilometers away, and the enormous flames could be vaguely seen even through the "tent".

"That's... the aura of Sukuna's fingers?" Itadori Yuujin's expression changed slightly.

Gojo Satoru's six eyes had also detected the anomaly in the distance.

"Although I know it's a diversionary tactic, if we leave it unattended, the ordinary people over there will be in trouble." Gojo Satoru turned around, a rare seriousness creeping into his usually frivolous tone. "Everyone at the Kyoto and Tokyo campuses, I'm leaving this place to you. Is that alright?"

"Of course, Gojo-sensei!" Hisahito Itadori responded loudly.

Gojo Satoru's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, leaving only a broken afterimage in the air.

As Gojo Satoru left, the surrounding magical energy surged in instantly, and the heavy pressure made Miwa Kasumi's breathing become somewhat rapid.

"They're here!" Noriyuki Kamo shouted in a low voice.

A dark red wave of magical energy surged from the flank like a torrent; it was the spell released by the evil aspect, aimed directly at the seemingly weakest member of the crowd, December New Moon.

"Mani-senpai, step back!"

Instead of backing down, December 1st took a step forward. He did not activate any offensive spells, but closed his eyes and focused all his attention on the wheel inscribed with the twelve spells in his mind.

The cursed power within his body was rapidly transformed through the wheel. Around him, the air seemed to twist strangely, and an invisible ripple spread outwards.

"Buzz—"

The dark red curse wave, which was originally powerful enough to penetrate reinforced concrete, seemed to hit an invisible wall when it reached half a meter in front of December's body. The violent energy was instantly neutralized by this wave, turning into scattered specks of light on the ground.

The scene fell into a deathly silence for half a second.

"It blocked it?" A look of extreme shock flashed in Fushiguro Megumi's eyes.

"This is the ability I've developed through these two days of special training—Ripple!" December 1st said, supporting himself on his slightly sore knees. Although his voice was weak, his eyes were exceptionally bright.

While the new moon was still basking in the joy of its success, the cursed spirits attacked once again.

"Don't stand there! It's not over yet!" Zenin Mai's gunshot broke the silence, and three bullets imbued with magical power were accurately fired at the lunging Bloodstained.

Another precise, dark red wave of magical energy shot towards the new moon, aiming straight for his brow. The villain had clearly come with a purpose, and his attack was no longer tentative.

"Saku!" Yukichi's pupils contracted slightly as several mechanical arms instantly sprang out from his wide sleeves, attempting to block.

However, the opponent was too fast.

That dark red curse wave was extremely insidious. Instead of producing a violent explosion, it pierced through December 1st's forehead like a red-hot steel needle in an instant.

"Bang!"

The cursed energy wave shattered the stone wall behind them.

A deathly silence fell over the scene. Miwa Kasumi's wooden sword slipped from her hand and landed with a sharp crack. Zenji Mayi's fingertip on the trigger trembled violently, her pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

"Saku—!" Yukichi's roar pierced through the disguise of the mechanical voice. He drove the mechanical arm almost recklessly, violently tearing apart the cyborg blocking his way.

To everyone's eyes, a clear, bloody hole appeared on December 1st's forehead. Blood trickled down his nose, his eyes were unfocused, and his body slumped backward like a lump of mud that had lost all support.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the talisman engraved with the image of a spirit dog was completely engulfed in a violent spinning motion.
