Nanami: "Shin, I need you to head outside the barrier and group up all the staff outside. Once you notify them that Gojo has been sealed, and return back underground, our top priority will be to retrieve Gojo while they call for more support."
Shin: "Sir, yes sir."
Hearing this, Shin wasted no time and headed outside the barrier as fast as he could before Ino was about to start a speech. While running, Shin noticed some leftover curses attacking the civilians who weren't in the designated shelter, but that was not enough to stop him. Gojo being missing was worth the unfortunate sacrifices. 'Sorry, Gojo is at the top of the list so you better run faster than the curses or start using a curse technique. Right now, it's the survival of the fittest.'
Once outside, Shin looked around while running along the edges but found bodies of dead agents. Each one had the exact same wound on them, stabbed with a sharp weapon. Not liking the situation, Shin tried looking around for Ijichi. After 20 minutes, Shin picked up Ijichi's scent and upon following it was met with a gruesome scene.
Ijichi was severely wounded with stab marks just like the rest. Checking his pulse, Shin felt a weak pulse. 'Shit, I need to find Ms. Ieriri fast.' Shin called for Ms. Ieiri's location before picking Ijichi up on his back and running towards her. 'Right now, your life is the only one I'm worrying about.' As Shin got closer to the location, he felt the presence of something strong. This presence was enough to cause Shin to experience cold sweats.
Reaching Ms.Ieiri, Shin was barely able to call out to her as his voice was shaky and soft. Regaining composure, Shin called out for aid before leaving Ijichi. Returning back, Shin noticed that the city was silent, extremely silent. It was as if everyone was refusing to move a single inch. Suddenly, Shin heard loud laughter but was unable to determine where it was originating from. 'Why does it sound familiar...'
Suddenly, the ground shook as explosions and sudden destruction appeared all around Shin. Looking up, Shin saw two beings fighting, their clash intensifying by the second. Needing to understand the situation, Shin headed to the closest highest rooftop and observed the conflict. 'Oh no.' In front of him were two special-grade curses, Jogo and Sukuna. What was weird about this fight was that Jogo looked different, a bit purple.
While they were dueling, Shin's ears picked up a different conflict not too far from him. Looking in that direction, Shin saw a familiar shadow. 'Is that Fushiguro's shadow?' Quickly, Shin headed towards him to regroup and possibly get more information about the current chaos. Within Fushiguro's hearing range, Shin was about to call out to him, but the appearance of Toji caught his full attention. Quickly understanding the situation, Shin hid his presence as much as he could and waited for an opportunity to strike Toji.
Following them as Toji chased, a chance appeared when Fushiguro lured Toji into a straight narrow street. Without hesitation, Shin immediately dashed behind Toji, hoping to get his staff to chew onto Toji's head. Sadly, the execution did not play out as Shin had wanted. Toji effortlessly grabbed Shin's staff and then threw Shin in front of him toward Fushiguro's direction. Quickly getting up, Shin watched as Toji snapped his staff in two like they were made of straws.
Shin: "Oh fuck you, dude."
Looking at Toji closer, Shin noticed his eyes were black and lifeless.
Shin: "Hey, Fushiguro, you got a plan in mind? Like maybe a big wolf?"
Fushiguro: "Won't work, I've thrown everything at him and nothing seemed to work."
Toji: "Hey, you, what's your name?"
Fushiguro: "I'm Megumi Fushiguro."
Toji: "... Not Zenin? ..."
Suddenly, they both watched as Toji stabbed himself in the head before collapsing. Examining the body, the face of Toji shifted to that of an unknown male. 'I'm keeping this thing then.' Shin pulled out the weapon Toji used to stab himself.
Fushiguro: "You're really gonna keep that?"
Shin: "What? You saw how he broke my toy didn't you."
As they both walked away, Shin quickly sensed the movements of another individual behind them. The person was creeping behind them, trying not to be obvious while hiding their presence. 'I feel killing intent.' An idea came to Shin's mind.
Shin: "Hey Fushiguro, the principal was looking for you, they're in this spot."
Fushiguro listened before flying off in his shadows. Once he was out of sight, Shin turned around and spotted the person, Haruta. Upon realizing he'd been caught, Haruta tried making a dash but Shin grabbed him by the throat before he could get away. Weirdly, Shin's hand experienced an intense cramp, forcing him to let Haruta free, but he was eventually caught again not long after. Begging for his life, Haruta cried and begged excessively.
Haruta: "Please let me go, I was just scared! I promise I was going to follow you guys in the hope of making it out alive!"
Not wanting to hear the words coming from the same guy who had killing intent, Shin decided to toy with him. First, Shin broke his right hand before letting him go to be caught again. He broke his left hand before letting go, next was his left arm, and right arm, tearing off his jaw, left foot, right foot, left leg, and finally right leg. Once he was incapacitated, Haruta could do very little but gurgle out blood as he twitched while crying excessively. Finally, Shin stabbed him with the sharp Playful Cloud. 'Damn, like butter, so smooth.'
Throwing the body away, Shin was about to search for everyone else but looking up, he was given a disturbing scene. Innocent people falling and getting caught in the crossfire between two devils and a plane falling from the sky in flames. 'What a sight.'
Before resuming his search, Shin noticed a sudden shift in the air.
