"HEY, ARE YOU listening?!" The man asked on the phone and started tapping his foot "I told you! The auto-locking door was left wide open!" the lights started flickering but he continued yelling, "Don't make me repeat myself! I told you this last week, too!"

He didn't notice but there was a camera there watching his every move "Why am I paying such high management fees?! Huh?! Screw you!" "Do it today! come inspect it right now!" A curse started forming behind him but he kept yelling on the phone

"Are you even listening to me?! I'll kill you!" The lights went completely out after that

"Kanada Taichi in Mo, Shimada Osamu in Yokohama, in August, Yamato Hiroshi in Nagoya, in September. These three died in similar circumstances. They were stabbed to death by a cursed spirit at the entrance to their apartments, all of them had filed the same complaint, with the property managers several weeks before dying, they claimed their auto-locking doors were left wide open none of the other residents have any idea what could have happened" The lady with the blonde hair said and focused her eyes on the road

"None of the dates or locations match, though could the same cursed spirit have killed them all?" Fushiguro asked no one in particular "Hey, could the cursed spirit be responsible for the doors? Do sensors like those pick up cursed spirits? They don't show up on cameras and stuff, right?" Itadori asked

"Apparently, the cursed spirit made the door operators go crazy, not the sensors," The lady said and made eye contact with Itadori through the mirror and put her focus back on the road "Oh... Operators?" He asked "And as for whether or not the same cursed spirit was behind this... Well, we couldn't be certain from just the residuals. After all, a lot of time has already passed. So we tried to track down any connections between the three. We found that all three attended the same middle school for two years." The blonde said and continued driving

"Meaning all three received the same curse, and it activated after time had passed?" Kugisaki finally spoke up "Precisely. That's highly likely." The lady said and looked in the mirror and back on the road "So we're going to that middle school now to question someone the three victims all knew, and I want you three to see what you can find as sorcerers." She said

"Way to go, Kugisaki!" Itadori praised her "Heh. What'd you expect?" Fushiguro sat back in the middle of them, clearly annoyed by this, that's when a question came to his mind, and asked the person "Hey y/n, you ok? You normally not this quiet" He asked and that got the attention of Itadori and Kugisaki who turned their heads to the girl

"I'm fine, just thinkin" Was all she replied with and went back to her own world, "A funeral?" Itadori asked, "Is this the home of that acquaintance?" Kugisaki asked, "Yes, it is..." The lady replied and sweat-dropped a little "Well, this sucks. He died the same way the other three did. He lived with his family, so there was no auto-locking door, but he was killed in front of the entrance. Previously, upon returning home alone, he reported "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯," To his other family members" The lady said

"I asked his parents, too, but they said they didn't know what relationship he had with the other three." She said and slumped her back slightly while walking up to the middle school "Man, there goes our only lead!" Kugisaki whined "Don't worry! There has to be something at this middle school!" Itadori tried to cheer her up but only worked a little bit, "I sure hope so," I scoffed lightly "What the fuck could be at a damn middle school?" I asked and glared at Itadori

"We don't know that's why we're finding out!" Itadori said with a smile at the end which caused me to let out another scoff and stuff my hands into my uniform pocket "For now, I've secured an appointment with a teacher, so I'm counting on you." She said "Roger" Itadori replied
