Chapter 31

the other side.

After the "long-lasting" meeting finally ended, the head of the Kamo family returned to his ancestral home with a gloomy face.

Like most old families, the Kamo family lived in a traditional Japanese courtyard. The butler, dressed in a proper kimono, bowed at the door and said respectfully, "Welcome back, sir."

The head of the Kamo family was obviously used to the scene before him. He didn't even slow down his pace. He strode towards the family meeting room and asked the butler who turned around and followed him half a step behind him: "Have you found any leaked blood recently?"

The butler lowered his head: "Not yet, sir."

"Keep looking."

The butler glanced at him secretly, trying to figure out what the master was thinking.

When Gojo Satoru hinted that a child was lost among these families, the two most likely to be shot were the Zenin family and the Kamo family.

Unlike the more Buddhist Zenin Naohito, the head of the Kamo family reacted greatly and sent people to search for things outside on the day he returned.

From the housekeeper's point of view, although the master of the family has always been very concerned about whether he can give birth to an heir who inherits the Red Blood Manipulation Technique, that is more for his own face, not that he cares that much about his bloodline.

This can be seen from how much the family's children secretly dislike him.

Now that the other party has invested so much thought in this, it undoubtedly seems a bit abnormal.

The butler asked tentatively: "Master, if we find it...?"

The head of the Kamo family glanced at him and said firmly: "Report to me first when you find it, no matter when, understand!"

The butler bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

"Let's gather key personnel to the conference room first. This is an urgent matter. I want to see everyone within ten minutes."

The butler lowered his head even more: "Yes."

Within ten minutes, almost all the people of any status in the Kamo family gathered in the conference room.

The head of the Kamo family shared the information he learned at today's meeting with the family without reservation.

For example, the world of curse arts once had a systematic technology for making containers, and a victim of this technology has recently been frantically seeking revenge. Oh, yes, that's the one who just called out - or something.

Everyone present was shocked after hearing this.

After finishing speaking, the head of the Kamo family paused for two seconds, looking at the thoughtful faces below, giving them enough time to think: "This is what happened."

One of the elders reacted quickly, but his focus was clearly off.

He asked hesitantly, "The technology for making containers...is there any record of this in our family?"

Unlike the Gojo family, who worship the Six Eyes and have more information, they automatically pick up the identity of the victim.

Most of the Kamo family members took the blame and thought that they had a part to play in this matter.

It's not because of anything else, the main reason is that this seems to be something that their family can do.

Maybe because the family ritual is related to blood, a few "scientific geeks" appear in the Kamo family every few generations and do some messy experiments.

For example, more than a hundred years ago, when Nozomi sneaked into the Kamo family and secretly created the Cursed Fetus Nine Phase Diagram, did the Kamo family not notice it at all?

——I’m sure they are somewhat aware of it, but they just don’t think it’s that serious.

Even though the Kamo family later declared that Kamo Kenroku was a stain on the family, they still gave their heir a homophonic name.

From these various details, it can be seen that the Kamo family's acceptance of human experiments is at least several levels higher than the average level of the magic world.

Especially now that they were in their own meeting room, after the elder took the lead in revealing the truth, the minds of the others below gradually became active.

The head of the Kamo family first ordered some people to go to the clan's database to look for any relevant information, and then left another group to continue the discussion.

One of the elders suggested: "I think we can do two things: look for information while we start research from scratch."

Another person shook his head: "But if we study it from scratch, it will take a considerable amount of time and energy. When the other families see that we are unable to shrink, they will soon realize what we are doing."

"How is it possible that it can't shrink? Research certainly requires experimental materials, whether it's the appropriate choice of curse spirits or 'consumables', they all need to be brought back from outside."

"Do you think that's all in the past? There's still 'consumables'. Now every test piece is extremely valuable. You won't be wasting materials unless you really make some progress!"

The two argued for a while, and a young voice interrupted: "I think it is entirely possible to leave only a very small number of elites to conduct scientific research, and the others can maintain the previous disguise."

"After all, this is not a matter of urgency."

This young man, who was trained as the successor before Kamo Kenki was born and is not yet thirty years old, has a face full of arrogance.

"Or are you afraid you won't live long enough to see that day?"

"you--!"

The scene before us was just like something that had appeared in some idiotic news story, where the losers started discussing the spoils when the matter had nothing to do with anything at all.

And they fought over uneven distribution.

"Enough!" The head of the Kamo family shouted to stop the conflict from escalating further.

"Look at what you look like!"

Everyone was silent for a moment. The head of the Kamo family glared at the young man who had fanned the flames before, and then slowly gave new information: "I got another piece of news from the Jujutsu High School - the cursed spirit stole the Nine Phases of the Cursed Embryo Diagram before leaving."

"Everyone is paying attention to the whereabouts of the cursed spirit now, so it won't be very noticeable if our Kamo family blends in with them."

"Then we can capture the cursed spirit openly as an experimental subject, and retrieve the Nine Phase Diagram at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."

When the time comes, it will be easier to carry out reverse engineering experiments with the finished product than to build a tall building from scratch, as the Curse Embryo Nine Phase Diagram...

The Nine Phase Diagram was originally created by Kamo Kenroshi by mixing his own blood, and each of them inherited the Red Blood Manipulation Technique.

This is undoubtedly the most suitable curse for the Kamo family to capture and use as a container.

And thinking about the characteristics of the container... imagine that there are at least nine clan members who inherit the family tradition of sorcerer in every generation... no, if so many appear at once, people will definitely get suspicious, but one or two in a generation will be fine.

Others wouldn't even find it strange because this is a family ritual passed down from the Kamo family.

A beautiful future opens before everyone's eyes, and pairs of sparkling eyes are embedded in the wrinkled face.

In the outside world's ranking of the three major families, some people think that the Gojo family is first, some people think that the Zenin family is first, but no one has ever thought that it is the Kamo family.

The Kamo family is the eternal third of the Yusan family.

It would be impossible to say that the Kamo family did not care about this at all over the years.

The head of the Kamo family glanced at the clan members who were imagining a bright future, and said in a profound tone: "The future will belong to the Kamo family."

"I will immediately set up a capture team and try to complete it as soon as possible!"

"I will immediately set up a research team and be on standby at all times!"

"I, that... old man..."

The head of the Kamo family frowned and looked at the butler who suddenly burst in through the door, and angrily shouted: "What a blind man! Can't you see that I'm busy!"

The butler remained seated, "Yes! But the master of the family has previously instructed that if there is any news of..." he should immediately alert you.

The butler glanced at the other people in the room quietly, hiding the most crucial information, but the head of the Kamo family immediately understood what he meant.

This... you just said you didn't have it, but now you found it?

"Then this is the tentative arrangement! Meeting adjourned!"

Looking at the hurriedly leaving back of the head of the Kamo family, the young sorcerer who had fanned the flames had a sneer on his face.

The head of the Kamo family knew nothing about this. He hurried to the reception room and asked the butler, "What's going on?"

The butler tried to recall: "After the master of the house gave the order a while ago, we sent several teams out to look for people, and they came back to report at the morning meeting every day."

"Today, one team was late for the morning meeting. In order to avoid delaying the work, I decided privately to inform you of the results of other groups first. As a result, when you were in the meeting, the late team came back with their people..."

Kamo family head: "How is that person?"

The housekeeper hesitated: "Well, the master will see it with his own eyes soon, so I can't say anything more."

He recalled the young man he had just seen.

The man looked to be in his early twenties, and the head of the Kamo family was already in his fifties, almost sixty, so it was indeed possible that he was the child.

But that temperament...

Depending on the different purposes of the householder in finding a bloodline, the butler can make different assessments of that person's temperament.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the door of the reception room. The owner opened the door with a "swish" and met the eyes of the man sitting quietly in the room.

He was tall, with hair that was a little long for a man, tied into two buns. Because it was not long enough for a braid, it was left hanging. The dark smoky makeup under his eyes made him look like a rock singer picked up from the underground streets of Shibuya.

Under normal circumstances, seeing someone dressed like this, the head of the Kamo family would at least step forward and lecture him, but now he just stared at the horizontal lines on the other person's nose, unable to hide his excitement.

Red Blood Technique! This child inherited the Red Blood Technique!

"What's your name?"

The man glanced at him, then looked away as if he didn't care. He paused for two seconds before speaking slowly.

"You can call me Ah Fei."

Haha! You didn't expect that! (Running around)

The clip will be posted tomorrow, so tomorrow's update will be postponed to 9 o'clock (actually I wanted to postpone it to 11 o'clock, but I think most of the kids should be asleep by then).

ps: Tomorrow was supposed to be the last day, Saturday, but the plan changed. I deleted the draft I saved because it didn't feel right, so now there is only one chapter in tomorrow's update, and it's still not settled (bitter smile)
