Chapter 11

The next morning, Gojo Satoru told Yuji Itadori the information he had learned from the cursed spirit.

When he heard that he might have had many companions with unknown names hundreds of years ago, Yuji Itadori was stunned for a long time.

For the boy who had just entered the world of sorcery by accident not long ago, the possible filthiness among the upper echelons behind this information was not as shocking as the possibility of another life that had disappeared but should have existed.

But Nanami Kento thought more.

The blond sorcerer frowned and raised his doubts: "This is impossible... If there really is such a technology that can mass-produce containers, then what happens next will not be something that an individual can control."

A very pressing problem in the world of curses right now is that the curses of various cursed objects are becoming increasingly powerful, but the sealing technique is completely unable to keep up.

This is not a problem that has arisen suddenly.

In fact, hundreds of years ago, when most curses were weak and sealing techniques still had an overwhelming advantage over cursed objects, someone proficient in the sealing technique had proposed this foresighted guess.

Once the curse of a cursed object, especially a special cursed object, overwhelms the power of the seal, the special cursed object that cannot be destroyed or sealed will inevitably become a hot potato, uncontrollably and unstoppably attracting nearby curses to strengthen itself, and will cause a disaster one day in the future.

After all, there is a saying that goes, a sorcerer can win the curse countless times, but if the curse wins just once, the result will be something the sorcerer cannot bear.

And if there really is a systematic technology for making containers...

It may sound cold-blooded to say this, but this is indeed a good opportunity to destroy a large number of special spells.

From ancient times to the present, perhaps only Gojo Satoru can compete with Ryomen Sukuna, who has twenty fingers. But if it only has one finger, there have been many sorcerers in history who are capable of exorcising the opponent.

Twenty fingers and twenty containers can make the King of Curses disappear from this world forever.

Many people would think this is a good deal.

Therefore, although the curse, as pure evil, increases the probability of unknown variables in the production technology of the container, as a great invention that involves all of humanity, this technology cannot simply be forgotten by history.

Gojo Satoru shrugged, “I haven’t asked for more details yet.”

At that time, Gojo Satoru did think about pressing on with the victory and exploring the real reason why the container technology had not been passed down, but Curse remained silent and just stared at him with his scarlet eyes that seemed to contain countless emotions.

Gojo Satoru didn't know about the curse at that time - or rather, Bai Yun actually glared at him with his Sharingan bulging out in resentment because he didn't know how to make the logic right, and he just thought that the other party was remembering something sad.

In order to prevent the cursed spirit from losing control of his emotions on the spot, and adhering to the theory of sustainable development, Gojo Satoru decided to quit while he was ahead and left with the existing intelligence.

But he also feels that there are still many loopholes in the current speculation, so he often shares information with Nanami Kento, the only person who has seen each other so far, and Itadori Yuji, who is also a container and has the right to know.

"Since there is no relevant information now, unless the cursed spirit made up a huge lie to deceive everyone..."

After a two-second pause, Gojo Satoru continued, "Otherwise, it could only be that something really happened at the beginning, causing all the families to unanimously agree to completely abandon the container-related technology, and they were even unwilling to give their descendants the opportunity to choose."

Gojo Satoru made a pair of scissors with his hands and gestured to the other two people present: "By the way, I think it's the second one."

"Because the first kind of lying is of no benefit to the cursed spirits."

Nanami Kento imagined it along the lines of the first idea.

If nothing really happened in the past, then Scarface Curse Spirit would not only need to deceive Gojo Satoru first, but also need to convince Stitchface to cooperate with him to reveal the relevant information about the container. Moreover, this cannot explain the problem that he can use the unlimited power even though he does not have the six eyes.

Yuji Itadori, who had been silent and wondering what he was thinking, came to his senses: "What, what do you mean by no limits? Isn't that the teacher's technique?"

In response to Yuji Itadori's confusion, Nanami Kento explained: "Yes, and generally speaking, if you don't have the Six Eyes, even if you inherit the Unlimited Technique, you can't drag 'Unlimited' into reality and maximize its capabilities."

Itadori Yujin seemed to understand: "But that cursed spirit can do that?"

"Yes."

After getting the affirmation from Nanami Kento, Yuji Itadori had no idea what he was thinking about and his expression looked a little strange for a moment.

He looked at Nanami Kento, then at his own teacher, and said word by word, "So, that cursed spirit is roughly equivalent to the version of Gojo Sensei from hundreds of years ago, and was once a container?"

Nanami Kento: "…………"

When the blond sorcerer looked over, Gojo Satoru realized that he seemed to have forgotten to tell Hisahito the details of the curse, which was why the other party now looked like a formidable enemy.

The atmosphere at the scene was silent for a second, until Gojo Satoru smiled and waved his hands: "No, it's not like that, that curse does not have six eyes."

"It can use unlimited skills for another reason."

According to Gojo Satoru's observation, the principle of the cursed spirit using the technique is similar to setting an "anchor" inside its own body, and then using the "anchor" to position itself each time. By keeping the cursed power used each time and the messy details such as the running route completely consistent, it achieves the forced replication of the technique.

For example, a world with unlimited six eyes would be filled with complete scrolls, while a world without six eyes and only with rituals would be completely blank.

If you get full marks, you can perform the spell, but if you make a mistake, the "infinity" that was forcibly pulled into reality will backfire on the sorcerer.

What the cursed spirit does is to circle the location of a certain "test paper" in its own blank world, then write down the locations where all the correct answers should be filled in, and answer the questions in the void, forcing itself to get full marks without even being able to see the test paper.

A very dangerous and brilliant idea.

Moreover, instead of the more defensive forward technique, the curse spirit chose to try the more offensive and more dangerous reverse technique.

Once misplaced, the cursed spirit's body will be forcibly pulled out of the "safe zone" to fill the missing space.

For a cursed spirit whose entire body is made up of cursed energy, this does not seem to be an unacceptable risk, but don't forget that this is a skill that the cursed spirit possessed when he was alive.

Both the "circling the area" and "writing down the correct answer" parts can only be completed by people with six eyes, and there is only one chance, and only success is allowed. Failure is not allowed.

The cursed spirit has completely placed the power of life on another person.

——They must have been quite close.

Nanami Kento continued to explain: "Our current guess is that the Curse Spirit and the Rokugan of that generation grew up together and were close childhood sweethearts. Hatake was a Rokugan from the Gojo family who was stranded outside for unknown reasons, and the Curse Spirit was an ordinary member of the Gojo family who inherited the unlimited technique."

Yuji Itadori nodded in confusion: "Oh, is that so."

Hearing this, Gojo Satoru suddenly remembered something he had forgotten: "Ah, it seems that my previous guess was wrong."

Nanami Kento almost couldn't catch his breath. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and finally spoke slowly: "...Please explain it in detail."

Gojo Satoru said heartlessly: "Because I recently discovered that the cursed spirit is probably not from the Gojo family. The ancestral emblem behind him has nothing to do with the Gojo family."

The cursed spirit never turned its back on them during the several encounters.

Perhaps it was because of its different position that it could not let down its guard. So it always used a spell to leave directly, as if it felt that it would be attacked if it exposed its back.

This time, perhaps knowing that as long as Yuji Itadori is still Sukuna's vessel, Gojo Satoru, who is "although no one expected it, but unexpectedly a really reliable and good teacher", will not attack him, the cursed spirit rarely used conventional means and walked away.

Only then did Gojo Satoru see the family emblem embroidered on the back of the cursed spirit.

Even though Gojo Satoru is not interested in any family including his own, he has stayed in the Gojo family's old house for many years and received all the old-fashioned education as a child, so he will never forget his family emblem.

Whether it is a branch family or the main family, in the past perfect tense or the future ongoing tense, this pattern has nothing to do with the Gojo family.

Just as Nanami Kento was thinking about what this meant based on the information provided by Gojo Shin, Yuji Itadori next to him suddenly spoke.

"Is there a possibility that..."

When the other two looked over, Yuji Itadori took a deep breath, as if squeezing out the rest of the words from the depths of his throat.

"Is that the mark of being a 'vessel'?"
