Chapter 33
The head of the Kamo family could clearly confirm that he was dreaming at this moment.
The sky was dark, the ground was gloomy, and he felt as if he was in a narrow cave, yet he seemed to be high enough to have a bird's-eye view of the entire land beneath his feet.
He seemed to be imprisoned in place by some irresistible force. He could not feel his limbs, his vision was blurred, and he could hear faint voices in his ears, accompanied by painful groans that gradually subsided.
As the moaning sound gradually faded away, Kamo felt that the restraints on his body seemed to have eased a little. He tried hard to open his eyes, but the position of the force he applied felt a little strange...
That... doesn't seem to be the position of a normal human eye.
"...home...wake up..."
The head of the Kamo family felt a powerful force flowing into his body from somewhere in front of him. The scene in front of him became a little clearer, and he could vaguely make out several people wearing black robes embroidered with red auspicious clouds.
"...Master of the family..."
“…Wake up!”
The head of the Kamo family suddenly woke up from his dream, and he looked at the butler beside him with a panicked look.
The butler was also shocked by the reaction of the head of the Kamo family: "Master, are you okay?"
Under normal circumstances, the head of the Kamo family would probably have scolded him directly, but now he was still trapped in the strange dream just now and couldn't extricate himself, so he just looked at the butler in a daze.
The housekeeper's heart sank, and he reminded, "Master, the Jujutsu Master has arrived. The meeting will start in about 18 minutes. Please be ready."
The head of the Kamo family then remembered that he had fallen asleep on the way to the Jujutsu High School.
He wiped his face tiredly, then waved away the butler.
I don’t know if it’s because there have been too many things going on recently, but after the exchange meeting, the head of the Kamo family always feels very tired, and occasionally has some bizarre dreams, but when he wakes up, he can never remember what happened in the dream.
Although I can't remember exactly what happened, the feeling left by the dream is always clear and profound.
——That kind of restrained powerlessness and anger.
The head of the Kamo family, who was worried, sat in the conference room, staring at the report in front of him with a thoughtful look on his face, but he couldn't read a single word.
Zenin Naohito, who was sitting next to the head of the Kamo family, still had his wine gourd with him, but he didn't drink any wine. He glanced at the head of the Kamo family who was obviously absent-minded, then looked around and found that nearly a quarter of the people present looked restless.
The people in the audience were still giving reports, probably about some recent changes in the world of sorcery.
That unknown, or at least special-grade cursed spirit howled so loudly and then disappeared from the world. No one could find the "person".
On the contrary, the group of ordinary, irrational, low-level cursed spirits were unable to distinguish the difference in strength between the enemy and us very well. Therefore, after such stimulation, the cursed spirits who felt provoked were either fighting or on the way to fight every day.
The team of sorcerers who went out to look for "Uchiha Obito" happened to collide with the cursed spirits who seemed to be injected with chicken blood. The two sides fought fiercely, which greatly affected the progress of the main storyline.
The only thing to be thankful for is that those mentally retarded cursed spirits possessed strength that matched their IQ, so although some members of the sorcerer team were injured, no one was killed or injured, which was a blessing in disguise.
Now the report was almost finished. The man sorted out the report in his hand and concluded: "... In summary, I hope that the adults can dispatch some personnel from the tribe to cooperate with our work."
Many children from large families do not even go to a technical college for sorcery, so those who actually go to the front lines are mostly sorcerers of civilian origin, and they are of course the first to sacrifice.
If the higher-ups only assign tasks but don't send people, those civilian sorcerers will either give up or be on standby with injuries and be ready at any time.
The sorcerer in charge of reporting took a deep breath. It was usually very difficult to fight against those ancient family leaders, and he was ready for a tough battle.
As expected, most families were unwilling to take the lead and sat quietly where they were. What surprised him was that some families who would normally think this behavior was "overstepping" and would have said something foul did not say anything.
Zenin Naohito shook his head when he saw this, and said to the sorcerer who reported it, "I have approved your application. You can go and discuss the details with Shan later."
Then he turned his head and looked around at the people who had just reacted: "For a mission of this magnitude, other families will also contribute, don't you think?"
The head of the Kamo family subconsciously wanted to retort: "When can you represent me?"
"When you have absolutely no reaction."
Zenin Naohito said bluntly: "Master Kamo, you have not been in good shape recently."
The situation is so chaotic now, everyone wants to pull others down, and the world of sorcery is about to be reshuffled. Of course, the head of the Kamo family cannot admit that his behavior is not up to standard at such a critical stage.
He thought for a moment and said, "I had a strange dream recently."
Although the dreams of sorcerers cannot be directly regarded as prophetic dreams, the dreams of the head of the Kamo family usually have some revelatory meaning, so it can be a reason to use them as a shield.
But in addition to being some kind of revelation, dreams may also be evidence of someone's conspiracy. The head of the Kamo family wanted to change the subject as soon as possible, but he found that the expressions of many participants changed for a moment.
If it was just one person, it might not have been obvious enough, but the expressions of nearly a quarter of the people changed at the same time, making everyone present realize that something was wrong.
"...You too?"
Several people looked confused. They exchanged information with each other and found that although they could not remember the specific scenes of their dreams, they could roughly confirm that the dreams were about the same theme.
Some of them are clan leaders, some are the next heirs, and some are just errand boys... The only thing they have in common is that they all "faced" the curse on the day of the exchange meeting.
Thinking of the devastation that affected the whole of Japan and has not yet completely disappeared, everyone's face was not very good.
They didn't know what this meant exactly, but there was a 99% chance that the effects of the curse would not be good.
Zenin Naohito, who did not dream of anything, pondered for a moment and then suggested: "Then you'd better observe for a while and put family affairs aside for now."
"As for the work that has been vacated because of this... I heard that you all have a lot of 'fresh blood' recently? Isn't this just the right time to use it?"
As he spoke, he happened to look to the side, where a very unfamiliar young man was sitting.
The young man who was being watched maintained a proper smile, and first nodded to Zenin Naohito as a greeting, and then looked at the head of the family beside him, as if to make his position clear: "If you need anything."
The young man is the heir that a certain small family has recently found. The ancestors of that small family were once wealthy, but they had offended a certain special cursed spirit in the past. As a result, the children born in the past hundred years have been prone to dying young, and the family has gradually declined. Now, they are in desperate need of people.
Because of this, their family was the first to actually "use" the method in this "find the child activity".
This proposal was neither good nor bad, and everyone habitually shirked the responsibility, saying that they would consider it in the future, so the topic was temporarily ignored.
After the meeting, the head of the small family happened to be stopped by his allies. It was unknown what they were going to discuss. The young man saw this and took the initiative to say, "Then I'll go out and wait for you."
The head of the small family was very satisfied with the young man's initiative and took the initiative to suggest: "No, you go back first. I won't have to talk about the past for long."
The young man did not refuse. He bowed, stood up, and then turned and left.
Seeing this, the allies couldn't help but sigh: "This new one you have is really good."
The patriarch of the small family suppressed his pride and said "hmm".
What he didn't know was that his hope of reviving his family would be shattered after he left the sight of the academy.
With a "bang" it turned into white smoke and disappeared.
Bai Yun was originally receiving all kinds of messy training at Kamo's house. When an extra memory appeared in his mind, he didn't even blink and put a perfect period on the test paper.
The butler standing in front of him looked at the time, then nodded, put away the test paper and planned to correct it later.
"Then let's stop here for today."
According to his experience, the head of the Kamo family will be back soon, and he has to make preparations in advance.
When he was leaving, he hesitated for two seconds whether to call Bai Yun, but when he turned around and saw the other's unruly hairstyle, he immediately gave up the idea.
Forget it. Although this kid is outstanding in both theory and practice, his aesthetics is really worrying. I'll probably get scolded if I go up to him.
After all, scores can’t be written on faces.
Bai Yun didn't know that he was almost caught and taken out for business. After sending the housekeeper away, he finally had time to seriously think about the information from his shadow clone.
If he guessed correctly, the dreams of the senior officials were probably the result of many coincidences that occurred when the real people were eliminated.
According to Bai Yun's calculations, although the real person was eliminated at that time, the "real person particles" "survived" for a short while.
At that time, the Jujutsu Master was also shrouding Gojo Satoru's [Account]. The "Real Person Particles" could be considered as part of the special-grade curse spirit and were temporarily retained for about a few minutes.
And during these few minutes, this guy who had reached a new level "parasitized" the old oranges who happened to be attending a meeting at the Jujutsu High School at the time, who were not so kind-hearted and had a very high degree of compatibility with real people.
However, because the "real person particles" are too dispersed, even if they parasitize, they cannot achieve the purpose of taking possession.
It's just because it absorbed too much cursed energy from the Outer Path Demon Statue (false) before being exterminated, so it causes its host to have some strange dreams.
As for why only some people have hallucinations - Bai Yun thinks this may be related to the degree to which the other person's mind is attracted to the "real person particles", the degree to which the other person protects his own soul, and the location at the time...
...wait a moment.
Bai Yun suddenly realized a problem.
Gojo Satoru was also in that barrier at the time, and was very, very close to the real person.
Bai Yun had a bad feeling in his heart.
——Could this guy also be able to see something strange?
I managed to squeeze out two chapters today.
I originally wanted to post this chapter tomorrow, but I wanted to speed up the process, so I posted it now.
If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to resume day 3 starting tomorrow.
Since I don't have any money left now, but I'm definitely not going to be home by 6:00 on weekdays, so tomorrow's update may be delayed. I'll say
