Many months have passed since the successful mission. A lot of things have happened. Geto's actions have become far more reckless. He is killing humans at a far higher rate, daring the Jujutsu higher-ups to make a move.
However, the higher-ups have yet to move still observing Geto's actions. Due to Geto's sudden alliance with Mute, the higher-ups know little about Mute making them cautious. The only thing they know about Mute is the fact that he battled Mei Mei to a draw.
Throughout the months, Mute has been completing missions flawlessly, and the number of curses that Geto has is increasing rapidly. Geto's plan for December 24th is coming to fruition.
Today is October 24th. It's the middle of the night. A massive storm was happening. The sound of hail and thunder blocked out the sounds of screaming. In Tokyo, inside one of the many glass skyscrapers, an assassination was occurring on the 40th floor. The sound of heavy breathing and slow steps could be heard. A middle-aged blonde woman wearing a black suit could be seen leaning on a metal filing cabinet. A massive gash on her back was pouring blood.
The room the woman was in was dark and empty, filled with filing cabinets and a single long table made of oak. The woman painfully leaning on the filing cabinet, pushed off the cabinet, stumbling back before looking back and talking in a terrified voice.
" I-I didn't mean anything, I said about Geto, I promise you. "
The woman was staring at Mute wearing a pitch-black mask and a long cloak. The reason Geto wanted to woman killed is quite simple. The blonde woman was a news reporter. She often criticized Geto's cult, calling it a money laundering scam. To Geto that was a crime punished by death.
The woman shrieked back in fear seeing that Mute hadn't responded to her. She took a few steps back while holding her hands in front of her. Until she felt something wrap around her index finger. She glanced at her index finger and saw a small string wrapped around it.
If the woman could see cursed energy, she would watch as the energy went through the string before entering her body. Before the woman could react after feeling the energy entering her body, her heart exploded, and she vomited blood before falling back first on the floor.
Mute walked over to the corpse before the loud sound of thunder erupted, before lightning struck next to the skyscraper, illuminating the dark room. Mute looked forward before his eyes widened seeing his sister leaning on one of the windows with her arms crossed.
Mute stared at his sister confused. It was the first time he had seen his sister since seeing her through the windows of the arcade Mute locked eyes with his sister before the snake wrapped around his wrist grew larger, and dropped down onto the floor, the snake slowly began to consume the woman, Geto wanted the body to make her an example for other news reporters.
Mute walked past the snake consuming the woman, and walked towards his sister, before standing in front of her, ten feet away. Null unraveled her arms and spoke.
"It has been a while since we met, Brat. The last time I saw you was when you were in that arcade, and truthfully I was quite worried seeing you there. I thought you had grown soft and forgotten about your mission. However, after hearing you made an alliance with Geto, I understood why you were hanging out with those girls. Just don't let them get too close. You are a charming fella. "
Mute stared at his sister before nodding his head. An awkward silence emerged between the two before Null let out a loud sigh and spoke.
" Since you are my precious little brother, I decided to come tell you about the assassination request I'm about to take... "
Null started to walk towards Mute while finishing her sentence.
" Someone has hired me to kill a quite important figure in the jujutsu world. Without her, the amount of casualties from sorcerers battling other sorcerers or curses would skyrocket. I've been ordered to kill Shoko Ieiri... "
Null leaned over and grabbed Mute's right shoulder before she started to whisper into his ear.
" Due to the difficulty of this request, there's a high probability that I will die. In case I'm about to die, the Zenin Clan has ordered me to do a final act. In my final act in life, I'll replay all the actions, I have ever done to you at once, turning your body into mush. It only makes sense, the Zenin Clan doesn't want a free powerful loose end such as yourself. "
Mute eyes widened after hearing this, Null let go of her little brother before silently walking past him. Mute stood still as his sister's body behind him flickered disappearing from the skyscraper.
Mute instantly knew what his sister's plan was. The reason she told him this wasn't because she felt bad for him, it was because she wanted him to help her kill Shoko. Mute let out a loud sigh before he reached into his cloak pulling out his phone. Before texting his sister.
" What time do you want me to be there?"...
