Because they had their backs turned, Itadori Yuji and the other two did not see the presence that appeared behind them.
Only Reiger, who was facing Itadori Yuji and the other two from afar, took in the entirety of that presence.
It was a humanoid creature, with pale skin and flesh, a wide gaping mouth on its face, and four claw-shaped eyes distributed on its head.
Without a doubt, it was a Curse Spirit.
Moreover, unlike the comical-looking Curse Spirits from before, this Curse Spirit was filled with a sense of horror and eeriness from head to toe, resembling the "ghost" in Reiger's memory, sinister and terrifying.
Its hands hung down, red palms elongated like claws, its split mouth clearly smiling, allowing Reiger to distinctly feel that this monster was very happy, very pleased.
As for why it was happy, why it was pleased?
It's simple.
Because it was enjoying itself.
It considered the humans in front of it to be its prey, its playthings.
