"Plop..."
As the clear sound of dripping water reached Itadori Yuji's ears, he slowly awoke, realizing after the fact and opened his drowsy eyes.
"Where am I...?"
He looked around in confusion, feeling as if he might have arrived in hell.
Below him was an endless stretch of blood-red water, like a lake of blood, with the sound of water pattering.
Above him was a sky of the same hue, with swirling clouds of crimson mist.
He lay in this blood water, seemingly floating on the surface, yet he felt no sensation of being soaked.
Itadori Yuji instinctively held his forehead, trying hard to recall what happened before he lost consciousness.
He remembered being in Shibuya with Nanami Kento and Fushiguro Megumi, pressing forward towards the third layer of veils after overcoming numerous challenges.
But then, they were attacked by a man dressed as a monk.
The man first ambushed Fushiguro Megumi, injuring him severely, making him unable to fight.
