Even as Kokichi Muta shouted like that, Mahito no longer cared. He continued to ask Kenjaku in a voice Kokichi Muta couldn't hear, "So, in the event that the other party has likely violated the binding vow, do we still need to fulfill the agreement as originally promised?"
Kenjaku stroked his chin and replied, "The answer is yes. A binding vow with others will not stop because of one party's violation before it is concluded."
"Then there's no choice." Mahito nodded slightly, accepting the result for the time being.
"Actually, I originally intended to recruit him to our side. With his ability to control puppets across infinite distances, he could have been quite effective in Shibuya," Kenjaku said, shaking his head slightly with a hint of regret.
"That would be difficult, wouldn't it? Unless you kidnapped those Jujutsu Sorcerers from Kyoto Jujutsu High to threaten him, or perhaps turned him into a Cursed Spirit first? But since he's violated the binding vow, you'd better maintain the Veil properly. I have no intention of facing Satoru Gojo right now." As Mahito spoke, he walked toward Kokichi Muta with an arrogant, swaggering gait.
Kenjaku was naturally aware of this. Let alone Mahito, even if he used all his means, encountering Satoru Gojo in this situation would only result in death. On this point, their interests were aligned.
"Cough, cough... hurry up, you bastard...!" Kokichi Muta, half his body soaked in the medicinal liquid, coughed violently due to his continuous shouting. The blood he spat out as he coughed dyed the liquid red.
Looking at Kokichi Muta, Mahito even had a feeling that it wouldn't be long before he was killed by the backlash of violating the binding vow.
Mahito lowered his upper body and reached out toward Kokichi Muta, leaning his head close to Kokichi Muta's ear to speak mockingly.
"After I heal you, I advise you to commit suicide immediately. That way, after you turn into a Cursed Spirit, you might even see the scene of me ravaging Kasumi Miwa~"
As Mahito spoke, he activated Idle Transfiguration on Kokichi Muta, repairing the effects his body had suffered due to the Heaven and Curse.
Kokichi Muta was stunned for a second by Mahito's words. By the time he reacted and was about to speak—
"You...!"
Mahito had no intention of following the development in the manga and giving this weak Jujutsu Sorcerer named Kokichi Muta time to prepare for battle. Taking advantage of Kokichi Muta's momentary daze, he didn't give him any room to breathe, and Mahito's palm struck Kokichi Muta's face once again.
"Sorry, I was lying just now. I have no intention of letting you enjoy it~"
Instantly, Idle Transfiguration was activated again. Kokichi Muta, who had just been 'reborn' due to Idle Transfiguration, was easily finished off by Mahito's hand.
Under the influence of Idle Transfiguration, Kokichi Muta's body completely turned into a pool of crimson liquid in the bathtub.
It was at this moment that Mahito and Kenjaku sensed a surge of extremely powerful Cursed Energy rapidly approaching.
Kenjaku simply spoke calmly, "Someone has entered the Veil. By the way, Satoru Gojo seems to be outside the Veil. I'll leave this person to you. I'll give you ten minutes; the Veil will end after ten minutes."
After Kenjaku finished speaking, he immediately prepared to slip away.
As for Kenjaku's reason for fleeing, Mahito was naturally well aware. It was nothing more than wanting to preserve Suguru Geto's sense of mystery until the time they used the Prison Realm to seal Satoru Gojo.
Although Mahito hadn't expected much from Kenjaku in the first place, he said:
"I don't care about you slipping away. That guy already violated the binding vow. Maybe your secrets have already been reported to Jujutsu High."
Kenjaku only responded with a smile, "That's not necessarily true. If that were the case, someone would have acted before we entered here and set up the Veil, not waited until after you killed him. I'm off."
After thinking about it carefully, Mahito also felt Kenjaku's analysis made some sense.
By now, Satoru Gojo must hate him to the bone. Coupled with the information about Suguru Geto he had deliberately leaked earlier, if Kokichi Muta had really told them everything, things certainly wouldn't have developed this way.
It was likely that Kokichi Muta's body couldn't withstand the consequences of fully revealing the information. It seemed the frail body brought by the Heaven and Curse had been a big help.
In the next second, a man with terrifying Cursed Energy erupting from his body, wearing a black hoodie, smashed through the layers of walls in Kokichi Muta's secret base and landed in front of him.
The man put his hands in his pockets and tilted his chin at Mahito.
"Heh, covered in stitches... you're the guy who made a mess of the Exchange Event?"
Having read the manga, Mahito could naturally recognize at a glance that this was Hakari, who should have been a third-year at Jujutsu High.
As for why Hakari appeared here, it was because after the Exchange Event, Utahime, who was supposed to be responsible for the follow-up investigation of the mole, had died. Considering the strength of the enemy, Satoru Gojo didn't have Kusakabe or Mei Mei take over. Instead, he had Hakari look for abnormalities and notify him.
Mahito wasn't overly surprised by Hakari's appearance. After all, he had already experienced the situation of suddenly running into the unplanned Tsukumo Yuki.
Moreover, with a simple deduction, Mahito could guess that it was most likely because Jujutsu High was short-handed and lacked combat power that The Big Three Families intervened and Hakari returned.
Mahito was actually quite curious about the true strength of this Hakari, who could fight alongside Uraume until Sukuna was defeated.
Mahito burst into laughter.
"You really are cautious, actually daring to come in only after activating the 'Domain Expansion' jackpot state."
"..."
Hearing Mahito's words, Hakari's face darkened.
"Why does he know my information?"
"Logically, when they were cooperating with Kokichi Muta, I was no longer at Jujutsu High. Was there a need to look into my information?"
