Following Yuji's exclamation, everyone frowned and looked at him with serious eyes.
Looking at the old bloodstains on the gray and worn floor tiles, along with the bullet holes deeply embedded in the walls, everyone was puzzled.
"It seems that an accident happened in the Tombs of Star Corridor many years ago."
"But why are there old bloodstains in this rarely visited place?"
"Also, judging from the location of the bullet holes in the wall, it seems that they were shot from the rear door?"
Kazuma knew everything that had happened here.
At this mont, a gentle voice that seed to transcend ti and space, echoed in Kazuma's mind.
"Let's go back ho, Riko-chan."
Bang!
A ruthless bullet pierced Riko's head, destroying the hope that had just been born in her heart.
Kazuma shook his head, dispelling the images in his mind, and sighed internally.
We have to ask gumi's good father, Toji, about this.
That shot could be said to have started it all.
Toji, who was only interested in the bounty back then, probably never expected that his actions would have such a huge impact, right?
That's right, the blood on the ground was the blood of Amanai Riko, the Star Plasma Vessel who was shot in the head that year.
As a peer, Yuki was aware of the tragedy that had occurred eleven years ago.
"This is the scene where the Star Plasma Vessel was shot and killed. This is also the pain that Gojo has always been reluctant to ntion."
"Let's go. Now is not the ti to reminisce about the past. Master Tengen is just ahead."
Yuki looked deeply at gumi.
She did not specify the cri committed by his father as that had nothing to do with gumi.
In fact, father and son had completely different personalities.
If the kind-hearted gumi knew that all of this was done by his father...
He might do sothing as foolish as taking on his father's sins and sacrificing himself in repentance.
Co to think of it...
She was once chosen by Tengen to assimilate with as the Star Plasma Vessel, but of course, she never followed through with Tengen's wishes.
"Oh... it would be great if we could bring that damn guy back to life to atone for his sins."
Waving her hand, Yuki shook her long hair and strode forward.
Her words were confusing to so, but they gave Kazuma an idea.
Resurrection to atone for sins? That's an interesting thought.
Kazuma's mouth curled slightly as an idea ford in his mind.
What would have happened if he had told Toji that gumi's last na was Gojo back in Shibuya?
Toji would have probably lost all composure and torn open the prison realm with his bare hands.
...
Led by Yuki, the group passed through several shifting doors and finally entered Tengen's main hall.
This place was isolated from the world, a pure land between life and death.
The surrounding space was nothing but a blank void. There was no sign of Tengen anywhere.
Yuki crossed her arms and guessed, "Ah... could it be that Tengen is here but refusing to et us?"
"Hey! Master Tengen? We have brought the wanted criminal Kazuma here. Why don't you co out and show so support?"
She suddenly shouted, causing everyone's expressions to twitch.
"Yuki-senpai, please stop provoking him!" gumi couldn't help but complain.
If Tengen and Kazuma actually fought, given their strength, they and the entire Tombs of Star Corridor would be the ones to suffer.
Kazuma had a neutral expression. Though Tengen's strength was never detailed much in the plot, he was definitely weaker than Gojo.
Tengen's power lay more in "wisdom" and barrier techniques.
Just when everyone thought Tengen wouldn't appear...
An old voice echoed around them.
"Nice to et you, excellent juniors."
Everyone turned toward the source of the voice.
A figure bathed in sacred white light slowly approached.
As the light faded, a four-eyed figure, dressed in a long robe, ca into view.
Yuji stood there in a daze, whispering, "Is this the sorcerer who claims to be all-knowing? Master Tengen?"
gumi asked, "This guy... is he even human?"
Yuta said, "So this is the mysterious Master Tengen?"
The strange appearance, neither fully human nor fully monstrous, left everyone with mixed feelings.
Unfazed by their curious gazes, Tengen remained calm.
He said, "The descendant of the Zenin clan, Sugawara's descendant, a Cursed Womb, Heavenly Restriction user, and a perfect vessel for Sukuna, a rarity in a thousand years."
With just one glance, Tengen, who had never left the Tombs of Star Corridor, accurately identified everyone's origins.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
As expected of the all-knowing Tengen!
However, when Tengen's eyes fell on Kazuma, his expression froze strangely.
"Your origins... even I cannot see through them?"
This statent was shocking!
Everyone turned their eyes toward Kazuma!
Everyone knew that Kazuma was brought back to Jujutsu High by Gojo when he had gone out to buy dessert.
But no one knew Kazuma's true identity or origins.
And now, even the all-knowing Tengen was unable to discern Kazuma's past?
At that mont, two dazzling rays of light shot out from Tengen's calm eyes, instantly covering Kazuma's body.
Tengen wanted to uncover the truth behind the man standing before him.
However, the next mont—
A sudden, scarlet eye filled with rotating tomoes covered Tengen's vision.
A strange scream echoed as Tengen's face twisted in pain. He covered his stinging eyes and staggered back.
"Curiosity kills more than just the cat."
Kazuma's calm voice cut through the air.
Just now, Tengen had attempted to spy on him without his consent.
Naturally, he wouldn't allow it—not because he feared being exposed as a transmigrator.
After all, the system would safeguard anything related to the system and his previous life.
If Tengen had such an ability, then what was the point of Gojo and Sukuna?
Kazuma was simply guarding against Tengen attempting sothing underhanded.
Besides, in his current state, Tengen was not to be trusted.
Seeing this, everyone gasped.
No way... Kazuma's genjutsu is so powerful that even Tengen can't resist it?!
Maki scoffed internally.
Those are eyes that can even peer into the past and future—how could Tengen possibly resist them?
She vaguely recalled how, during their battle, Kazuma had exposed mories she had never shared with anyone.
He knew her past even better than she did herself.
All of a sudden, the once-mysterious Tengen lost so of his prestige in everyone's eyes.
After a mont, Tengen composed himself.
"You are Kazuma, the one the higher-ups asked to capture, correct? I apologize for my rudeness just now."
Even as he spoke, Tengen's mind raced. While silently cursing the higher-ups, he ntally placed Kazuma's na alongside the most powerful figures in history.
"Hey, Tengen, if you still stand with sorcerers, then give us an answer."
Yuki looked straight at Tengen, demanding a response.
Perhaps others at Jujutsu High held Tengen in high regard, but she had no fondness for him.
Tengen t her gaze and spoke calmly, "Though I may look like a demon, my heart remains human."
"Ask. I will answer all your questions."
