Chapter 20

The principal of Kyoto School, Rakuganji, is a hunchbacked old man who looks like a rotten dead tree. His spine has long been bent by the weight of time. The only signs of his rebellious youth can be seen from the astonishing number of ear piercings and earrings he has.

Why is Sukuna's container still alive?

He suddenly thought of something and asked Gojo Satoru who had just come over to provoke him, "The 'acquaintance' you mentioned before is Sukuna's container?"

Rakuganji had heard about Gojo Satoru's message at the time, and although the higher-ups didn't tell him in detail because they felt embarrassed, the principal was more or less aware of the turmoil caused by that sentence.

Although I don't quite understand it.

"Well, that's another matter."

Gojo Satoru waved his hands.

"It has nothing to do with you, the principal. You just need to pass on the original words honestly."

Although Rakugenji is a conservative faction that Gojo Satoru hates, he is not a sorcerer from a clan, and has no connection with the cursed spirits from thousands of years ago.

Leyan Temple was confused and had no way to deal with the opponent, so it finally left in anger.

Yega Zhengdao, who had witnessed everything, called out to the man who was about to leave: "Satoru."

But when the people really stopped, he didn't know where to start.

He had known Gojo Satoru since he was in technical high school. Over the past decade, he himself had not changed much, but Gojo Satoru had changed a lot.

Yaga Masamichi watched helplessly as Gojo Satoru trained one class of students after another in the high school, and also lost one class of students after another - you know, the graduation rate of the Jujutsu High School was sometimes not even as high as the mortality rate.

Behind the cold numbers are bloody and tragic stories one after another.

The student who was full of expectations will never come back after a certain mission. Although it is just a very weak curse to himself, it can always take away the important existence of Gojo Satoru.

Over the past ten years, Gojo Satoru has grown a lot by stepping on the blood of others, so much so that sometimes Yega Masamichi is worried that the future that the other party wants may never come true.

But the source of students in recent years is indeed good. Last year, a student who was rated as special appeared after a long absence. In addition, I don’t know what happened recently, Gojo Satoru has become more "energetic" and full of hope.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Gojo Satoru was originally lifeless... What Yaga Masamichi wanted to express was that Gojo Satoru was originally more like a "symbol" of hope rather than "possessing" hope.

No matter how strong the enemy is, as long as Gojo Satoru is sent out, you will be at ease. No matter how difficult the problem is, as long as you see Gojo Satoru, you will feel at ease.

But no one has ever asked what exactly supports Gojo Satoru to move forward step by step.

...No, it’s not that no one asked, but the problem that Gojo Satoru faced could not be solved with the help of one or two people.

Just when Yega Zhengmichi was daydreaming, Gojo Satoru seemed to see through his thoughts.

He smiled and comforted the mentor who had accompanied him for half his life: "Don't worry."

"I know all about it."

In this regard, Bai Yun said:.

You have no money.

The patched system panel can attest to this.

Somewhere in Tokyo, Bai Yun had been killing cursed spirits these days, trying to gain progress on the main quests before taking care of his own business. After a few days of darkness and gloom, he finally realized, after being reminded by the system, that it was time to go to the Jujutsu High School to restock supplies.

Following the instructions of the location, Bai Yun quickly arrived at the outskirts of the Jujutsu High School.

Although we are in bustling Tokyo, the vegetation is lush and the place is quiet and remote.

The sorcery academy, which seemed like a secluded paradise, was now covered by a barrier invisible to ordinary people.

A quiet energy surrounds the school. When you gaze into it, you feel like you are staring into the air, trees, or soil, an ancient natural force that makes people subconsciously ignore the traces of human activities hidden within it.

Generally speaking, it is similar to the "Muggle Repelling Charm", mainly for concealment, with a weak protective effect.

Because of the barrier, Bai Yun was not very clear about the specific situation inside the barrier, but he could still roughly guess it through the existing information.

As a young person in the 21st century who is also interested in acting, Bai Yun would occasionally check out what kind of literary and artistic works this strange world has, and in the process he would inevitably come across some messy things.

For example, today, he saw a video in which Gojo Satoru and Yuji Itadori were posing strangely on the roof of a pickup truck, and they were almost pulled off the car when passing through a bridge tunnel.

According to the time when the video was uploaded, the exchange meeting in the barrier should have already started.

Although Bai Yun had an urge to jump in front of everyone in Kyoto School and personally leave a correct first impression on them before Gojo Satoru tried to poison them with his weird stories that he didn't know where they came from.

But he had work to do.

Furthermore, Gojo Satoru wouldn't discuss the background story of a special-grade cursed spirit with ordinary students from other schools...right?

Bai Yun struggled for a moment, but finally suppressed his own magical power fluctuations and sneaked in the direction of the system mark.

Although there are not many students in Jujutsu High School, there are surprisingly many buildings. So many that, judging from the current number of students, each student would have more than enough space to have two or three small buildings.

So obviously, these large and small buildings are not all "teaching buildings".

The Jujutsu High School was established not very long ago, but before it became a school that recruited talents from outside, it was one of the most important bases in the world of Jujutsu.

The mortality rate of a sorcerer's job is extremely high, and it is basically like walking on the edge of a knife. Occasionally, they will be cursed for revenge, so a long time ago, there was a trend for families to stick together for warmth.

When the main force is out on a mission, these families will send the elderly, children, women and children to the allied families for shelter and provide protection measures and rewards such as spells. After the mission is completed, in order to preserve the honor of the family, they will refuse to directly belong to another family and return to their own clan territory.

Over hundreds of years of practice, more and more families have joined in. It is not known when it started, but people no longer take the spell tools back to their families. Instead, they just throw them there. Although they still own them, they agree to share them with others.

There are many interests and games involved, and Tianyuan is the key to maintaining the current delicate balance.

Tian Yuan, who has lived for thousands of years, stopped interfering in the affairs of the world of spells a long time ago. He is like an ancient tree, supporting the barrier for eternity, protecting the masters of spells from the prying eyes of the outside world. At the same time, he is not greedy or protective, and protects the safety of spell tools and cursed objects equally. He is the most competent warehouse manager in the world.

But this reputation is about to be broken.

The location of the warehouse where various cursed objects, including Ryomen Sukuna's finger, are stored has been jumping. Except for Tengen, no one knows which door of the hundreds of doors in the Jujutsu High School leads to the real warehouse.

——Unless you have a positioning.

When he finally found the entrance to the warehouse, Bai Yun stared at the historic and ancient door, took a deep breath, and then used his divine power to "infiltrate" directly from behind the door.

The two guards in the warehouse were so shocked when they saw him.

Treating entities as if they were nothing is a scene that often appears in various horror movies, and coupled with the special nature of the work of spells...

When a seemingly complex humanoid cursed spirit crossed numerous barriers and appeared in the warehouse that was theoretically the safest in thousands of years as easily as drinking water, the guards' shock can be imagined.

Judging from the current quiet atmosphere in the outside world, this cursed spirit even escaped Gojo Satoru!

"Who are you! How did you find this place..."

Before the guard could finish his words, he met a pair of scarlet eyes, and then he remembered nothing.

His companion saw this development and turned to run, but was also pulled into the illusion, fell down paralyzed and lost consciousness.

The scene returned to peace. Bai Yun wasted no time, stepped over the two people and began to search the warehouse for cursed objects.

The only cursed items he could use were below special grade, but fortunately in the warehouse, apart from Ryoumen Sukuna's finger and the Cursed Embryo Nine Phases Diagram No. 1 to 3, all the others met the requirements.

Although the choices are already abundant, there is an old saying in Bai Yun’s hometown: “Since you are here, you are here.”

Adults choose to have them all.

Of course, in order to avoid being caught while stealing, Bai Yun did not touch anything below level two. Instead, he chose to take more level one spell items first, and then reached out for the special level ones.

When he took the Nine Phase Diagram and was about to put Ryomen Sukuna's fingers into the Shenwei Space, Bai Yun suddenly noticed a familiar breath coming from the door.

He turned his head and saw the real person squatting next to the guard. Like a child who saw something fun, he kept poking the guard's unresponsive body.

After noticing Dao Baiyun's gaze, Zhuo burst into surprise and enthusiasm that he could not understand at all.

"I didn't expect to see you here."

The real person's face was full of curiosity.

"You tampered with that finger, too? Why?"

Bai Yun, who really hadn't thought of an excuse yet, glanced at his finger subconsciously.

Cursed objects can be used to attract curses. For example, if one is placed in a shrine a certain distance away from the school, the curses caused by the students' resentment can be effectively attracted to a more remote place.

But because of this, the curse in the cursed object will become stronger and stronger as time goes by. In recent years, the speed of progress in sealing techniques has completely failed to keep up with the speed of the growth of the curse.

Bai Yun remembered these.

And because the seal cannot keep up with the growth of the curse, even with the seal in place, the curse within the cursed object can still vaguely sense the outside world.

——Bai Yun was staring into the abyss.

He doesn't know this yet.
