After passing through the bottomless tunnel and experiencing a long period of darkness, Yuji Itadori found his feet landing in the waiting area on the third floor of the Shibuya underground station.

下一辆列车将于5分钟后的时间到达2018年10月31日,19:45分。电子屏幕上这样播报。

Tourists dressed in strange costumes, pumpkin or ghost masks, with their pockets stuffed with candies and snacks, dressed as various characters flocked in and walked in the same direction following the flow of people.

This familiar yet unfamiliar scene instantly made Yuji Itadori realize what time point he was in.

"Yuujin."

Someone was calling his name.

Yuji Itadori turned around and saw Mr. Getsuyuki, wearing the high school teacher's uniform, waving at him in the crowd.

There are no sutures on the forehead.

And it was at this moment that Yuji Itadori made up his mind.

He once stood in front of the hospital bed and made a promise to his dying grandfather, promising to do his best to help those in need until he died surrounded by people.

He once stood in front of Kamo Kenji who was about to kill him, and said loudly that he wanted to protect the people he wanted to protect and did not want to watch them die first.

He once stood in his ordinary campus, and stepped from the world of ordinary people into the gate of the world of spells full of danger and terror.

I don't want to be seen as just a slave of Ryomen Sukuna. I want to grow into a student that even Gojo Sensei can rely on. I want to be entrusted with things and be trusted. I want to live happily with everyone.

However, after making so many resolutions, the wishes seem to be just wishful thinking. They fly away before you even hold them tightly in your hands.

"I don't regret it." Yuji Itadori looked at the busy station avenue and saw that everyone's face was filled with happy smiles because of the Halloween activities. He clenched his fists, encouraged himself, and said, "This is the path I chose."

.........

Standing on the familiar wooden board in the basement, Yuji Itadori reached out and touched the crimson leather sofa, then, without hesitation, he fell down with his head in his hands and sighed with relief: "Wow, it's indeed a sofa certified by Mr. Gojo, it still feels so good to lie down on it!"

"Yuhito." Xiayou Jie's eyes swept across the bricks on the wall, and he keenly grasped the word "still". "When did you come here? I remember that this basement has not been open to students since the beginning of the school year."

"Teacher." Yuji Itadori showed his white teeth and grinned, "This is where I came from in my previous life."

"So, you remembered it too?"

"Hey, Mr. Getsu, you remembered it too?!"

Hearing Geto's question, Itadori Yuji was the more surprised one. He jumped up and stood in front of Geto, "So, Mr. Geto, you are not only a first-year teacher in the technical high school, but you also have the memory of being the leader of the villain Pansei Sect?"

"Yeah." Xia Youjie smiled gently and reminded, "But calling the teacher a villain doesn't seem right. A petty villain will punish him by sending him to the playground for extra practice."

"I see." Yuji Itadori reacted immediately, grabbed the hair on the back of his head, and said embarrassedly, "It's mainly because the contrast between your two images is too strong!"

"One is a good man like Gojo-sensei!"

"What about the other one?"

"The other one is a big bad guy who is the opposite of Gojo-sensei."

No matter if he is good or bad, he uses Wu as a reference standard... That guy can be labeled as a good person in the students' minds.

"Anyway..." Just as Geto Xiayou was about to speak, Gojo Satoru's voice came from the door, "Ahaha, Yuji, you've finished your bath."

"What's something extremely important you want to say to the extremely powerful Gojo-sensei?"

"Gojo-sensei, you're here too."

Yuji Itadori also greeted Gojo Satoru, and then said cheerfully: "The reason why I asked the teachers not to tell everyone about my return is because I plan to violate a restriction."

"Soon. No, not soon. In about a few dozen minutes, I will probably die."

"So, wait, can I see Sister Youxin one last time?!"

Gojo Satoru: “Huh?”

Geto Suguru's fox eyes widened slightly.

Yuji Itadori did not stay in the prison grounds for long.

He tiptoed to the door and quietly opened it a crack, letting light slowly flow in. He saw her turning over while hugging a pink heart-shaped pillow. She looked very tired, but at the same time she was sleeping soundly.

"Goodbye, Sister Yushin." Yuji Itadori said silently in his heart.

Although she was in the image of the gender-changed Gojo Sensei the last time he saw her, he preferred to call her Sister Youxin.

Because, unknowingly, I seemed to have regarded her as my real sister.

"Teacher." After coming out of the prison gate, Yuji Itadori sat back on the sofa, still looking optimistic and cheerful, "What will be the consequences of violating the constraints?"

"I've heard Ryoumen Sukuna mention this before, but I don't think I understand it."

"......"

"Bondage is an agreement between two people under the supervision of God. If either party violates the bondage, they will face punishment from God."

"Depending on the degree of violation of the agreement, the more times it is violated, the stronger the effect, the deeper the degree, and the heavier the punishment will be," explained Xia Yujie.

"I see." Yuji Itadori showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "It looks like someone will really die!"

"But..." Gojo Satoru asked casually, "Even if it means violating such a restriction, you still have to say it, right?"

"Yes." Yuji Itadori nodded firmly without hesitation, "Even if I die, I must say it."

"Sister Youxin...will definitely not agree." He smiled, his brown eyes sparkling. Even at this moment, they were still as clear as amber stones shining with a translucent light. "But, except for me, no one can help her in this matter."

"I don't want to see her in a situation where she's isolated and helpless."

****

After a heavy silence, Geto Xiayou asked, "Yuujin, finally, is there anything else you want to say?"

Yuji Itadori was lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with his eyes distracted. He felt waves of pain in his heart. He knew that this was the effect of the restraints taking effect.

"I want to say this to Onii-chan." Yuji Itadori opened his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Although I have only been his younger brother for a few days, he is really a good brother."

"I want to tell Sister Youxin that she is good enough. I hope she won't feel guilty about this."

"Last time, she helped me pick up the ball that I dropped." Yuji Itadori said intermittently, "This time, it's my turn to help her pick up the ball..."

"Everyone... I hope we can meet again one day."

Because I really like everyone I meet here.
