Chapter 18

This is the thought process of this senior executive who bravely stood up.

Why would one look through a family tree? Either to add someone to it, or to find someone.

Unlike the Gojo family who still had unrealistic illusions about Gojo Satoru because of their lack of contact, the senior executives who had long realized that Gojo Satoru had no intention of getting married and having children and whose faces almost showed that they were destined to be alone did not think that Gojo Satoru might have an illegitimate child.

On the contrary, based on his heroic feat of intercepting Fushiguro Megumi, the senior executive guessed that Gojo Satoru had found a possible heir from an unknown family who was left outside. Adhering to the principle that once is a coincidence, twice is an accident, and three times is the norm, he wanted to see if there was any possibility that his family had a bloodline left outside.

Gojo Satoru made no secret of his ill intentions towards the higher-ups. The higher-ups also knew that Gojo Satoru had been thinking about ways to carry out reforms, but they always scoffed at his ideas.

Although Gojo Satoru is undoubtedly overwhelming in terms of strength, he is still too inexperienced when it comes to power politics.

He actually wanted to bring about reform by teaching students.

You have to know that the world of sorcery has been going on for thousands of years, and the relationships between the various families are complicated and intertwined, and they are all related to each other to some extent. Even if Gojo Satoru really taught a student who could enter a high level, he would only be as frustrated as the previous errand boy.

The current situation of the Zensan family is this: if Fushiguro Megumi is willing to return to the Zenin family, then his ten shadow magic techniques will make him the next head of the family. The current heir of the Kamo family who inherited the Red Blood Manipulation Technique is not only a concubine, but even his biological mother was dismissed and there is some rift between him and the family.

As for the Gojo family, the same thing applies: those who understand will understand.

Although it seems to be beneficial to Gojo Satoru and his friends, these three, including Gojo Satoru himself, are basically alone and have no power or followers of their own in the family.

Even if they really want to work together for reform, the people below are fully capable of fooling them by pretending to obey but actually disobeying their orders.

After all, they are strong enough, but so what? Even if Gojo Satoru can clean up the upper level with blood and replace it with new blood, what will happen after that?

The fresh blood that was replaced was also raised by the previous batch of rotten oranges.

Except for the shiny surface, the inside is still rotten.

Therefore, the top leaders never took Gojo Satoru's so-called reforms seriously.

But what if there are really more bloodlines of the families left outside?

The top brass are actually somewhat aware of their own situation, and young people who grew up outside will not become their pawns without complaint.

Therefore, if it really happens, they will most likely join Gojo Satoru.

By then, I will kill half of Gojo Satoru and exchange them for the other half, and then use my own strength to intimidate them. Maybe I can succeed in the reform.

Zenin Naohito was silent. Indeed, many members of their family had secretly run away, and the head of the Kamo family was even more devastated, because he had really cast a wide net for the sake of his successor, and for a moment he could not tell whether there were still descendants of his own out there.

After the head of the Kamo family was defeated, he did not forget to drag the others into the water: "Don't be so arrogant, Gojo Satoru was talking about 'you guys'."

The senior executive who stepped forward said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "This is a child, not a pair of socks. Who else would be like you two families who don't even care about the leakage of blood?"

"you--!"

Before the head of the Kamo family joined the war of words, Zenin Naohito suddenly noticed that the expression of the intelligence officer next to him was distorted for a moment.

Zenin Naohito frowned: "What's wrong?"

The intelligence officer tried to retract his expression of the old man on the subway looking at his phone, but failed.

"I just got news that Gojo Satoru went back to look through the family tree again."

The senior members who had been speaking out just now fell silent.

Why did you go back? It's only been a few days. It's just a family tree. How can it change so much in a few days?

...Or is it because something happened in the past few days that Gojo Satoru is not sure whether any members of his family are homeless?

“…”

The senior executives couldn't help but look at each other: How many people must have been missed for Gojo Satoru to confirm it over and over again?

But how could so many people be missed? What the man just said was right, this bloodline is not something that can be lost without knowing it!

The senior executives looked at each other and saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

In the world of magic, no one would steal children, right?

*

In the following days, the top leaders were caught up in a strange storm.

Gojo Satoru had no idea that the higher-ups had even more crooked thoughts than he did. After noticing that the higher-ups were behaving strangely and seemed to be on guard against each other, he immediately ran over to take credit to Nanami Kento.

Nanami Kento, who was writing a report: "..."

In fact, it's not because Gojo Satoru comes to him whenever he has something to do. Gojo Satoru's friends of the same age either dislike him to death like the geek, or are afraid of him to death like Ijichi.

Nanami Kento was one of the few people who treated Gojo Satoru neither humble nor arrogant, and was the only one who could discuss Uchiha Obito with him, but he suffered such a disaster.

Especially since Kento Nanami's reaction every time he heard the conspiracy theory was very interesting, Gojo Satoru liked to look for him even more.

After forcing the latest rumor on the other party, Gojo Satoru changed the subject: "How is Hisahito these past two days?"

Because the top management has been collecting intelligence everywhere recently, and in order to prevent Yuji Itadori from being discovered in advance, he has not been assigned any tasks recently and is only conducting 1-on-1 combat teaching indoors.

"He's had enough time to digest the recent events."

Nanami Kento paused for a moment, and sighed: "Is it a good idea to tell him about the container directly?"

Unlike Gojo Satoru, Nanami Kento still feels that this is not a topic that children should be involved in.

Gojo Satoru was particularly adamant in this regard: "It doesn't matter what Hisahito said, he will get through it."

The contented Gojo Satoru looked at the time, then looked at the exhausted Nanami Kento and said, "It's almost time. Get a good night's sleep today. The exchange meeting will start tomorrow."

The blond sorcerer slowly pulled his thoughts out of his complicated speculations: "In this case? Shouldn't the exchange meeting be cancelled?"

Gojo Satoru asked back: "Why cancel it?"

Because students from both sides gather together during the exchange meeting, it is very suitable to be caught in one swoop.

Nanami Kento sighed.

However, if Gojo Satoru was there, even if a cursed spirit really came, the students would not be in trouble.

Gojo Satoruyoshi sternly criticized: "Taking away the youth of young people is an act that is intolerable by heaven."

Nanami Kento was too lazy to argue with the other party, so he just said, "Forget it, I didn't say anything, and have a safe trip."

"Nana Ming is so cold——"

"Please get out of my house."

After finally turning back into a human, Nanami Kento looked at the unfinished report in front of him, was silent for two seconds, and then put down the pen with a headache.

His mind is now full of conspiracy theories and he is totally unable to write a serious report.

Nanami Kento has been working non-stop for a week. Today he started working at 7:30 in the morning. Now, after Gojo Satoru's interruption, it is already 8:13 in the afternoon. The deadline for the document is tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock...

Thinking of this, Nanami Kento silently put the pen cap on, walked two steps to the side, and fell face down on the soft sofa.

Let’s take a break first.

Some office workers are able to go to bed early, while others cannot fall asleep for a long time.

In the basement, Yuji Itadori was lying on the sofa with no lights on, holding an ugly and cute doll. The dim light from the TV next to him was the only light in the room.

This was the training method Gojo Satoru taught him when he was first trying to control his cursed energy. If his inner emotions caused his cursed energy output to fall short of the standard, he would be beaten up by the puppet in his arms.

Yuji Itadori no longer needs such basic training methods recently, but the habit of the past two months has made him subconsciously choose this mode when he wants to calm down and think seriously.

Accompanied by the shrill screams coming from the TV, Yuji Itadori, who was alone, suddenly asked, "Sukuna, are you there?"

After a brief silence, the wrinkles of the boy's skin under his eyes were stretched out, revealing a scarlet eye.

A crack appeared on the originally smooth cheek, revealing the sharp teeth that were completely out of character.

"What is it, kid?"

Yuji Itadori was not fooled: "Don't play dumb, you came out when I called you, it's obvious that you also have something to say."

Sukuna gave a twisted smile: "So what?"

The boy didn't bother to be polite and asked directly: "Have you seen other containers before?"

The King of Curses replied ambiguously: "Who knows?"

Ryomen Sukuna didn't lie about this.

Although it is a curse that has existed for thousands of years, it has been sealed and has almost never awakened.

Therefore, it really has no idea what happened in the outside world during this period of time.

But it would not tell the other party such unfavorable information so directly, but hinted: "If you let me meet it, I might remember something."

Ryoumen Sukuna was thinking of something, and his tone was full of joy: "You want to go find it?"

Without waiting for Yuji Itadori to refute, it continued: "Yes, compared to the sorcerers who use you as a vessel and want to execute you at any time, the cursed spirits with the same experience may be your peers."

The Curse Spirit's low voice was filled with undisguised temptation and ridicule; this was the instinct and pride of being the King of Curses.

"What? Are you going to run away?"
