"The four of us are going out together?"
Suguru, like a fox that had found its prey, revealed a captivating smile.
Ever since becoming a cult leader, Suguru's aura had increasingly come to resemble that of a pyramid scheme boss.
"Want to bet on who can take care of that woman first?"
If it were anyone else, Satoru would probably be saying that he alone was enough.
But the rare chance to go on a mission with his middle school peers made Satoru a little excited.
After all, they had not gone on a mission together for almost ten years.
"Alright."
Eichi was also eager to try. Although he did not know why four Special Grades were needed for one Tomie.
But since Masamichi said so, they would not object.
"Don't interrupt me."
Masamichi rubbed his temples, already getting a headache as he looked at the four eager people.
"It's just that you're carrying out the mission together, not that all of you are going to exorcise Tomie together."
If these four were really placed on the same battlefield, the Tokyo Branch would definitely receive an astronomical bill for repairing public facilities the next day.
"Due to the impact of the Tomie incident, the Jujutsu world has been severely understaffed recently. To ensure the stable operation of the Jujutsu world in the Tokyo area, Saber, you are needed to command the overall situation."
Due to the initial lack of understanding regarding Tomie's situation,
Jujutsu Headquarters had assigned many Assistant Supervisors and "Windows" in the Tokyo area to search for Tomie's whereabouts.
This also led to many Assistant Supervisors disappearing after being lured by Tomie.
As a result, tasks and operations in the Tokyo area were heavily affected.
After all, although Assistant Supervisors are weak,
a large amount of the preliminary investigation and preparation, the mid-stage setting up of barriers and sealing off the scene, and the late-stage cleanup all require them.
Losing a large number of Assistant Supervisors in a short time left the Tokyo Branch in a frantic state.
Eichi and Masamichi also took the opportunity to demand more authority.
Who would dare say that Artoria, who had governed a country, did not understand management and command?
"No problem."
Artoria nodded with a solemn expression.
"Satoru, this mission to exorcise the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Tomie will mainly be carried out by you.
Although Tomie's scale is too vast and difficult to eliminate, that is not a problem for you."
"Of course, I'm the strongest."
Satoru unceremoniously pointed at himself with his thumb, his tone full of arrogance.
"Suguru, since Tomie's essence is that of a Cursed Spirit, then your Cursed Spirit Manipulation should be effective against her.
Capture one Tomie, then work with Satoru to exorcise all Tomies before more appear."
"No problem."
Suguru was also very interested in Tomie, who had grown to such an extent in such a short time.
"Finally, Eichi, we hope you can go find Lord Tengen and ask Lord Tengen to help search for Tomie's location."
Masamichi did not know Tengen's current situation, but he knew that Eichi had frequently visited Tengen in recent years.
And Tengen had always received him.
So Masamichi felt it would be better to let Eichi find Tengen.
This was also a backup plan.
A backup plan to be used if Suguru could not find out the whereabouts of the other Tomies from Tomie herself.
"I can."
Eichi naturally would not object, because control over Tengen was actually already in his and Suguru's hands.
As long as Eichi spoke, Tengen would not, and could not, refuse.
It was still that familiar underground bar.
Tomie was currently perfecting her future plans in her mind.
The course of events made Tomie feel a sense of crisis.
Since Tomie's rebirth, this was the first time another Tomie had been completely eliminated.
Although other Tomies had previously been sealed by special means, Tomie could feel that given enough time, those bodies with broken seals would eventually proliferate into new Tomies again.
This was the fundamental reason why Tomie had remained calm despite repeatedly hitting a wall with Satoru and Eichi.
But all of that changed today.
One of the currently strongest Tomies had been forced to reveal her Cursed Spirit body and then completely exorcised.
This caused a sense of crisis to rise in Tomie's heart.
Just then, that "Mr. Kamo" visited again.
"Long time no see. Ms. Tomie is still as beautiful and charming as ever."
Kenjaku sat down beside Tomie without ceremony and ordered a whiskey.
"You look a bit tired, Mr. Kamo."
Kenjaku showing up right after her failure made a hint of wariness rise in Tomie's heart.
Tomie could feel that the man in front of her was very attracted to her.
But Tomie vaguely felt that this man was not someone she could control in her current state.
Once his desires became unstoppable, future developments would definitely not proceed as she wished.
"I dream of you, Ms. Tomie."
Kenjaku did not care about the sarcasm in Tomie's words.
After all, everything was developing according to his wishes.
"Is Gojo Satoru really as strong as you say?"
Tomie picked up the glass of wine the bartender had brought and asked casually.
Just now, one of the Tomies had sent bad news.
Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer Gojo Satoru had already set out with Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer Geto Suguru.
The two of them would exorcise the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Tomie in the shortest possible time.
Tomie had learned this from an Assistant Supervisor who had just been affected by her and had not yet been completely broken.
Because a large number of Assistant Supervisors had disappeared recently, the casualty rate among Jujutsu Sorcerers had also increased significantly.
As a result, an atmosphere of unease had begun to spread through the Tokyo area.
To stabilize morale, Artoria immediately announced this news when the two set out.
At the same time, she made extensive adjustments to the tasks of the current Assistant Supervisors and Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Artoria also recalled all the Heroic Spirits and dispatched Toji, who had been conscripted, to exorcise advanced Cursed Spirits.
For a time, the pressure on Jujutsu Sorcerers in the Tokyo area was greatly reduced.
"Gojo Satoru, I really can't imagine what chance you have."
Clearly, Kenjaku had guessed the purpose behind Tomie asking this question.
"What about Ryomen Sukuna, would he win?"
Facing Kenjaku's answer, Tomie smiled.
Over the past two days, Tomie had also learned some information about Ryomen Sukuna and knew about the existence of Sukuna's fingers.
"Oh?"
Kenjaku raised an eyebrow, not expecting Tomie to still dare to target the strongest after two failures.
"Ryomen Sukuna would win."
Kenjaku's tone was firm.
"Are you that sure?"
Tomie suddenly had a strange feeling, as if Kenjaku's tone just now was that of someone who had personally witnessed Ryomen Sukuna's strength.
But was that possible?
Ryomen Sukuna was a figure from a thousand years ago.
"Naturally."
Even now, Kenjaku was still full of confidence in Ryomen Sukuna.
The only question was how many fingers Ryomen Sukuna would need to recover before he could defeat Satoru.
"Interesting, what do you plan to do?"
Tomie knew that Kenjaku definitely had his own agenda.
Otherwise, a person like him would not specifically mention someone who had been dead for a thousand years when Tomie asked that question.
But Tomie did not care, because she also had her own plan.
(To be continued.)
