We meet again~
A Voice came from above.
Tu Bai looked up.
On the rooftop of the Warehouse, a person stands.
No, it was not a person.
That thing wore a black robe, its grey-blue long hair was tied into twin tails that hung down to its chest. Its skin was a pale, sickly white, it wore a smile on its face, a very happy smile.
But most eye-catching were the black sutures covering its entire body. From forehead to chin, from neck to wrist, it was like a Doll that had been torn apart and sewn back together.
The Ice Blue Eyes stared at Tu Bai, shining with an eerie light.
Tu Bai recognized him.
Mahito.
That thing that appeared in the place where he was imprisoned. That thing that almost touched his Soul.
“I remember you.” Mahito jumped down from the Rooftop, landing a few steps in front of him, tilted his head while looking at him. “An interesting Soul. Last time, I didn't have enough time to get a good look at you.”
It reached out its hand, its Finger twitching.
May I take a look at your Soul?
Tu Bai took a step back.
Mahito laughed, laughing like a Child who had received a new toy.
Don't run away~ I'll just take a look, it won't hurt.
It took a step forward.
Just then—
A flash of White Light passed by.
Mahito was knocked back by something, flying out and crashing into the wall, leaving a dent in the Cement Wall.
Gojo Satoru stood before Tu Bai.
He wore Sunglasses, making his expression unclear, but the Cursed Energy surging around his body was intense. With Limitless fully activated, even the air seemed to solidify.
Mahito climbed out from the wall, brushed the dust off his body, his Smile remained unchanged.
Hey~ Gojo Satoru," it said, its tone sounding like a casual greeting. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be over in Shibuya?
Gojo Satoru did not answer his question.
"Who sent you?" he asked, his Voice freezing cold.
Mahito tilted his head, his Finger tapping against his Lips.
“It's a secret~”
Gojo Satoru moved.
Tu Bai only saw an afterimage, in the next second, Gojo Satoru was already in front of Mahito. He raised his hand, Cursed Energy condensed, struck with a palm.
Mahito dodged, but it was a narrow escape. His speed was great, but Gojo Satoru was faster.
Limitless is such a pain," Mahito muttered, pulling away. He looked at Gojo Satoru, something flashing in his eyes, "I can't beat you, but—
It suddenly turned toward Tu Bai and reached out its hand.
Tu Bai was well prepared, the Shield he had constructed appeared before him in an instant.
Mahito's hand touched the Shield, but it did not touch him.
"Tsk." Mahito curled his lips.
Gojo Satoru has already caught up.
He didn't hold back this time. With his Cursed Energy fully unleashed, the surrounding air trembled. He raised his hand—
Satoru.
Gravity erupted in a moment, Mahito's body was sucked toward it, out of control.
Gojo Satoru's other hand was already prepared.
Hah.
A Red Cursed Energy orb smashed into Mahito, hitting him dead on. Mahito was sent flying, crashing through two walls.
But in the next second, it crawled back up again.
The Black Suture on his body was glowing, the half of his face that had been blasted away was rapidly regenerating.
It hurts so much~" Mahito rubbed his face, yet he was still smiling. "As expected of Gojo Satoru. However..
Its body began to change.
The Suture disappeared, the skin turned dark blue, the body grew taller, several spikes sprouted from its back. Its Cursed Energy surged violently, crushing all the surrounding Grass.
Complete Form.
"Like this should buy us a little more time, right?" Mahito said, his Voice changing, becoming low and deep.
It rushed toward Gojo Satoru again.
This time it was much faster, so fast that Tu Bai could barely see it. But Gojo Satoru could.
He dodged the strike by turning his body to the side and grabbed Mahito's wrist with his other hand.
Limitless was activated.
Mahito's body stiffened—the contact with his soul was blocked.
"Your Cursed Technique is useless against me," Gojo Satoru said.
He swung him with force, slamming Mahito onto the Floor. The ground collapsed, cracking into a pit.
Mahito was still laughing.
It lay on the floor, its Ice Blue Eyes staring at Gojo Satoru: "So strong. I really want your soul."
Gojo Satoru ignored it.
He raised his hand, Cursed Energy condensed in his palm.
Mahito suddenly laughed, his laugh becoming even more eerie.
Do you know? That Rabbit," it said, "his Soul is very special.
Gojo Satoru's movements paused for a moment.
Just like that.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mahito's Body suddenly exploded, turning into countless tiny threads of Cursed Energy that scattered in all directions.
Run.
Gojo Satoru sneered.
You think you can run?
He raised his hand, Cang struck again.
Most of the threads were sucked back, reassembling into Mahito's Body. However, a few strands had escaped far away.
Mahito was sucked back in front of him, still smiling.
It's no use~ A part of me has already escaped. You cannot kill me.
Gojo Satoru looked at it.
"Is that so?" he said.
Then he expanded his domain.
Tu Bai only felt a flash of white before his vision went blank, he could see nothing at all.
It was a very strange feeling. Even though it was clearly only a Moment, it felt as if a very, very long time had passed. His brain was a complete blank; he could not remember anything.
By the time he snapped out of it, Mahito was already gone.
Only a few ashes remained on the Floor, scattering as soon as the wind blew.
Gojo Satoru stood there, his back to him. His Sunglasses had fallen off at some point, his Ice Blue Eyes shimmered faintly in the dim Light.
Tu Bai froze for a few seconds, then ran over.
Senpai!
Gojo Satoru turned to look at him.
His expression was calm, but there was a bit of sweat on his temple. Seeing Tu Bai running over, he reached out his hands to catch him.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
Tu Bai shook his head.
Gojo Satoru looked down at him, confirming that he was truly alright, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He leaned down, picked up the Sunglasses from the Floor, put them back on.
"Let's go, Must go back," he said.
Tu Bai nodded and followed him out.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered, "That person just now.."
Dead," Gojo Satoru said, "He's really dead.
Tu Bai was stunned.
He knew Gojo Satoru was strong, but seeing him kill a Special Grade Cursed Spirit with his own eyes still felt somewhat surreal.
He looked up at Gojo Satoru's profile.
That person walked steadily, his expression no different from usual, as if he had just casually dealt with some small fry.
“Senpai,” Tu Bai said suddenly.
Hmm?
