Looking at Chinatsu, who was covered in blood and lying on the ground, Gojo Satoru's pupils trembled like an earthquake, and a furious emotion surged from his heart, but he forcibly suppressed it the moment it was about to erupt.
Sensing Gojo Satoru's emotions rapidly rising, breaking through, stopping, and then descending, Fushiguro Toji couldn't help but praise Gojo Satoru's mindset in his heart.
"It seems a bit difficult to deal with the second one quickly, but if I treat this as a timed challenge, then it's quite interesting."
Fushiguro Toji's face still held a confident smile. He raised the Inverted Spear of Heaven high in his hand, striking a very peculiar combat pose.

After a moment of staring at each other, both sides swiftly dashed out from their distant positions, commencing a battle where both were racing against time.
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue!!!"
Booming sounds echoed, clearly audible even to Geto Suguru and the others who had already run inside Tokyo Jujutsu High.
It's just... "Something's not right. This booming sound should be from [Blue], but judging by the frequency, it doesn't sound like two against one; instead, it's one against one, and even the defensive side…"
Geto Suguru was somewhat stunned. As one of the strongest duo members, he couldn't imagine Gojo Satoru or Chinatsu being defeated. Both of them together still losing was an event he deemed absolutely impossible.
Geto Suguru's thoughts were a bit chaotic until Amanai Riko, who was by his side, suddenly stopped. Her eyes, which had lost their sparkle, opened, pulling Geto Suguru back to reality.
"Is this the place?"
At this moment, they had arrived at the innermost part of Tokyo Jujutsu High, a special space covered by a unique barrier.
[Tomb Chamber]
This is the residence of Tengen, who possesses the "Immortal Cursed Technique," and also the cornerstone of various barriers covering the entire country. It can be said that if this place is destroyed, all national barriers would be severely affected or even rendered ineffective.
"Walk up those stairs, pass through the gate, and reach the base of the central towering tree. There, you will assimilate with Master Tengen. Tengen will protect your safety with a barrier until the assimilation is complete."
As Geto Suguru calmly narrated the upcoming procedures, Amanai Riko's already dim light became even more ethereal.
Her maid, Kuroi Misato, was not by her side, because this current location was no longer a place she could proceed further into. They had to hug and say goodbye midway.
Just as Amanai Riko was about to lift her foot and take the first step towards accepting her fate, Geto Suguru, who was beside her, pursed his lips and suddenly spoke again.
"Or, you can choose to turn back now, and go home with Miss Kuroi."
Amanai Riko's brows unfurled upon hearing these words. She turned to look at Geto Suguru with a puzzled and surprised expression, and a faint glimmer of light bloomed in her pupils.
It turned out that when they first accepted this mission, they noticed from Principal Yaga's tone that he referred to "assimilation" as "erasure," his voice filled with guilt and remorse.
However, assimilation clearly cannot be equated with erasure, meaning one of these two must be incorrect. Geto Suguru and the others naturally sided with Principal Yaga.
Unlike the "assimilation" understood by most people in the Jujutsu World, Principal Yaga, though outwardly a muscular man, was actually very meticulous in his thinking. It's just that he often beat around the bush when doing things, making people ponder.
After learning Principal Yaga's thoughts and attitude, they had discussed this topic and reached a conclusion before meeting Amanai Riko.
What if the Star Plasma Vessel refused assimilation?
Then there would be no assimilation!
Even if doing so might make them enemies of Tengen, they did not change this decision.
It's okay, because we are the strongest.
Geto Suguru smiled and turned to face Amanai Riko, extending his hand to her.
"Whatever choice you make, we will guarantee your future, Riko. You have the right to choose."
...Meanwhile, outside Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Although Gojo Satoru forcibly maintained his sanity when he saw Chinatsu severely injured and collapsed on the ground, he was no match for Fushiguro Toji's ferocious attacks, and he was knocked to the ground, already mentally exhausted.
Fushiguro Toji let out a big breath. Although defeating Chinatsu relied on sneak and surprise attacks, the continuous defeat of two Six Eyes Users consumed far more physical and mental energy than a warm-up.
"This is really tiring. After this job is done, I really need to treat myself well." Fushiguro Toji swung the Inverted Spear of Heaven in his hand downwards, and blood was flung from the blade, splashing onto the ground.
Just as he was about to put away the Inverted Spear of Heaven and pull out a simple, unadorned handgun that was more effective against ordinary humans, his keen senses suddenly felt that something was amiss around him.
Wait!
Fushiguro Toji quickly turned his head to his right, towards Gojo Satoru's direction. After finding Gojo Satoru still lying on the ground motionless, his ominous premonition lessened somewhat.
With that feeling, he turned his head to his left, towards where Chinatsu was lying. Chinatsu was also still lying on the ground.
Fushiguro Toji couldn't help but inwardly grumble that he hadn't performed high-difficulty missions for too long, and his nerves were getting a bit oversensitive.
He took a step towards the interior of Tokyo Jujutsu High, and at that moment, Chinatsu's finger, which had been lying motionless on the ground, suddenly twitched.
"Hmm? Not dead yet?"
Fushiguro Toji paused, showing a suspicious expression, because in his judgment, with such severe injuries and lying there for so long, she should have been dead already.
However, just in case, he still took out the Inverted Spear of Heaven and ten thousand mile chain, preparing to use the combination of these two Cursed Tools to deliver a long-range finishing blow to Chinatsu.
Fushiguro Toji swiftly threw the chain in his hand, and the blade of the Inverted Spear of Heaven, capable of ignoring Limitless Defense, rapidly attacked Chinatsu's head.
Bang!!!
The blade of the Inverted Spear of Heaven violently plunged into the stone ground, emitting a deafening roar.
It missed... more accurately, it was dodged!
Fushiguro Toji turned around and looked behind him. Chinatsu, who had teleported to a new position, stood there. Her head was tilted downwards, and her arms swung slightly downwards without any added force.
Upon seeing this, Fushiguro Toji immediately pulled the ten thousand mile chain, retracting the Inverted Spear of Heaven back into his hand. He held the Inverted Spear of Heaven, intently observing Chinatsu, drops of sweat appearing on his cheeks, and he couldn't help but let out a muttered complaint.
"In broad daylight, I shouldn't be seeing ghosts…"
