Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King.

tread!tread!tread!

clang!clang!clang!

The sound of empty footsteps.

The sound of metal colliding.

Accompanied by the dim light and shadow reflected on the convex round mirror at the corner.

Mingming carried the giant axe on his shoulder, looking straight ahead without turning back, and warned: "You two, they are coming."

"Your name is Mingming, right?"

The first thing that caught the eyes of the three people.

He is a horse-faced uncle wearing a green frog hat.

He was shirtless, with a chain tied around his right wrist, and the other end of the chain was wrapped around the neck of a giant bulldog.

The visitor's aggressive gaze was always on Ming Ming, and he completely ignored Haibara Yu and Itadori Yuji.

Mingming was not moved at all, and a touching smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Youren, no matter how you act, Huibara and I will cooperate with you."

"Oh!"

Yuji Itadori clasped his fists and looked at the invading enemy seriously, without any fear in his eyes.

……

Shibuya Hikari Building, 5th basement floor

Shibuya Subway Station.

Shintoshin Line platform.

『21:26』

As the "prison gate" slowly closed, the last thing that Future saw was the charming and seductive smile of Lu Suo, and her lips moved slightly.

But in the future, it is no longer clear what she said.

The "Prison Gate" regained its cubic shape and quickly shrank to a size that could be held in one hand. It then floated into the palm of the noose, and the six eyes corresponding to the numbers on the dice closed at the same time.

See everything settled.

The real person walked over like a curious baby.

He leaned down and carefully observed the cube of flesh and blood in the hand of the noose, and asked: "Is this no longer usable?"

The rope nodded in affirmation: "Yes, it can only carry one person. Unless the person inside commits suicide, it cannot be used again."

While the two were talking.

The originally scarlet flesh-colored "prison gate" quickly turned into the color of dark gray cement.

"Humph, so boring." Upon hearing this, the real person stood up and spread his hands, his disappointment evident in his words, but soon he showed a happy smile again: "Forget it, anyway."

"Seal completed!" x3

The long-planned plan was successfully implemented, and the three of them all had relaxed expressions with bright smiles on their faces.

At this time.

Ocean disaster.

Tuo Gen also arrived at the right time.

“Puff, puff~”

It still has that Q version of its childhood, nothingness.

But beneath this rare and lovely appearance lies a terrifying fighting power that is enough to command the ocean and devour the land.

"Ah la~"

When Luo Suo saw Tuo Gen coming, he couldn't hide his smile: "Now everyone is here."

"So, about the future..."

"Um?!"

The words paused.

The smile on Lu Suo's face instantly turned solemn. She lowered her head to look at the "Prison Gate" in her hand, which was shaking continuously, and a sense of abnormal weight was gradually coming from it.

"What's wrong?" Lou Hu asked in surprise.

boom! ! !

however.

No need to wait for a reply.

The "Prison Gate" in her hand suddenly fell to the ground!

Under the heavy pressure, a huge pit was immediately smashed into the ground, and spider-web-like cracks instantly spread across the entire platform!

"Varied--"

When Lou Hu saw this, his eyes almost popped out of his head and he subconsciously took a half step back in fear. Zhenren, Tuo Gen and Lu Suo also looked panicked and surprised.

"As expected of a Zen temple, even if it is sealed, it is difficult to completely cover up this powerful presence. How terrifying!"

I saw.

The "Prison Gate" fell to the ground.

Its six eyes that were originally closed opened again, reflecting the slightly dim blue eyes of the future present, and seemed to be overwhelmed by some kind of tremendous pressure.

All eyes were bloodshot, revealing a human-like look of fear, and tears were flowing uncontrollably.

Inside the "Prison Gate Territory".

Click! Click! Click!

into the eye.

It is a collection of countless skulls gritting their teeth.

They support and construct the independent compressed space inside the "Prison Gate Border".

now.

Mirai, who was completely naked because her cursed power was banned, was lying on a 300-square-meter bone bed with a comfortable expression on her face, passively accepting the hard work of the massagers below.

"Sure enough, physical time does not pass."

"The working principle of the 'Prison Gate Border' is to achieve the effect of 'silence' by limiting the release of the sealed person's magical power."

"At the same time, a barrier like the one we have now will be constructed, and the physical time inside will be constant at the moment the seal is achieved."

"The subjects sealed inside will not show signs of starvation or aging. The only thing they can do is think."

"As the sealed person's thinking deepens, a moment in the outside world can be one year, two years, ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years or ten thousand years for the sealed person."

"The more one thinks, the slower the relative time of the sealed person will feel."

"If one does not understand the truth and remains in a state of deep thought until the seal is naturally lifted, the sealed person would have already died spiritually."

“That is, the disintegration of the ‘soul’.”

"In the original work, I leaked everything because I wanted to avoid this kind of situation, so I tried my best to empty myself and actively maintained a dazed state in the 'Prison Gate Frontier'."

"But even so, after 19 days in reality, I still felt like hundreds of years had passed since the blockade was lifted."

"Kuowa-e-ne~" (How scary~)

"This time difference makes me feel desperate just thinking about it =w="

Future chuckled and changed the subject:

"but--"

"For me, whose soul is severely damaged, this is actually the best opportunity for recovery."

"Thinking can proceed, and the results of thinking can be reflected in the mind. In other words, it can also affect the 'soul'."

"Although the real damage to my soul can be restored naturally, the speed of recovery is getting slower and slower..."

“Just like an infinite series that converges infinitely, it approaches 0, is approximately 0, is slightly equal to 0, but can never reach the reality that is completely equal to 0.”

"If the soul is not fully restored, the body cannot be fully restored either. The same is true for the spells that are bound to the body."

"In this world of spells, the only place that can provide me with enough time is the Prison Gate Territory."

"Well~"

"Although the old lady Tianyuan also has it, but the one from Luso is more cost-effective."

"It can not only be a legitimate opportunity to register, freeing up the stage for the younger generations to test themselves, but also allow Nozomi to emerge from behind the scenes and escape from her unselectable status."

"only......"

"Otome, I never thought that the noose would be you."

"Even though you were under the surveillance of the Shadow Shikigami until the Shadow Empire was destroyed by the real person, you didn't behave in any unusual way."
