Eishu Juvenile Detention Center. The Entrance.
"Born of darkness, blacker than darkness."
"Purify that which is impure."
Ijichi cast the Curtain. The sky turned black.
"A Special Grade?" White Zetsu scoffed, putting his hands behind his head. "The Higher-ups really overestimate these weaklings."
"Mama's Boy," Nobara retorted. "If you're so tough, why don't you go in alone?"
"Scared?"
"Scared?!" Zetsu snorted. "Back in the day, I fought from Hong Kong to Portland Street! I've killed 800 Special Grades!"
"Sure you have," Nobara rolled her eyes.
"Senior Zetsu," Megumi asked seriously. "Where are your Cursed Tools?"
"Taken away," Zetsu shrugged. "Mirai-boy took the Dragon-Bone and Crimson Lotus back before he left for his overseas mission. Said Gojo didn't want us relying on them."
Megumi frowned.
Gojo-sensei is gone. Mirai-sensei is gone. And Zetsu is disarmed.
This feels like a setup.
"Let's go," Yuji said, pushing open the door. "People are waiting."
...
Inside.
"What... what is this?" Yuji gasped.
The hallway was twisted. Stairs led nowhere. The door they entered was gone.
"Where's the exit?!" Nobara panicked.
"Cough." Zetsu put on a pair of sunglasses.
"Relax, Rookies. This is an Incomplete Domain."
"The Curse is using its energy to warp space. But compared to Mirai-boy's Domain... this is trash."
Yuji and Nobara breathed a sigh of relief. If it's not as scary as Mirai-sensei's Infinite Tsukuyomi, maybe we have a chance.
"Jade Dog!" Megumi summoned his white wolf. "Find the survivors!"
...
The Third Floor.
They found three corpses. Mutilated.
Yuji checked the name tag on one. Tadashi. The son of the crying woman outside.
"Megumi," Yuji said. "Let's take his body back. His mom needs closure."
"Leave it," Megumi said coldly. "We need to find the living. He's dead."
"What?!" Yuji grabbed Megumi's collar. "How can you be so cold?!"
"He was a criminal!" Megumi shouted back. "He killed a little girl while driving without a license! If I save him, and he kills again... that's on me!"
"I save people unequally!"
"You two!" Nobara yelled. "Stop fighting! This isn't the time!"
Zetsu watched from the back, smiling faintly.
The Saint vs. The Pragmatist. Interesting.
"Hey, Nobara," Zetsu walked toward her. "Let's break them up—"
SQUELCH.
A black hole opened in the floor beneath them.
"AHHH!"
Nobara and Zetsu fell through the floor and vanished.
"NOBARA! ZETSU!" Yuji screamed.
SPLAT.
Megumi looked at the wall. His Jade Dog... was embedded in the concrete. Dead.
"Yuji! RUN!" Megumi roared.
He grabbed Yuji and turned to flee.
But he stopped.
Cold sweat poured down his face.
Standing right in front of them—less than thirty centimeters away—was the Special Grade Finger Bearer.
It grinned.
