Chapter 26 (Exclusive to Jinjiang Literature City)
According to Lu Suo, its ultimate goal is to optimize the power of curses in order to achieve the evolution of all mankind, and Japan is the experimental site it has chosen.
It has been working towards this goal for over a thousand years. The reason it is targeting Gojo Satoru this time is because it was defeated twice by the Gojo family's six-eyed sorcerer when it was causing trouble before. Therefore, the most important step for it to achieve its goal is to deal with the six-eyed sorcerer.
Lu Suo's combat strength is not very good, at least compared to the Six-Eyed Sorcerer.
So it could only kill the Six-Eyed Sorcerer when he was still an infant. But what it didn't expect was that no matter how many times it tried, it wouldn't be long before a new Six-Eyed Sorcerer would be born in the Gojo family.
After repeated experiments, Lu Suo discovered a breakthrough: only one Six-Eyed Sorcerer can exist in this world. In other words, if it successfully seals the Six-Eyed Sorcerer, then no new Six-Eyed Sorcerer will ever be born again.
This is why it went to great lengths to find the top-grade cursed artifact, the Prison Gate, because only the Prison Gate could seal away Gojo Satoru.
Unfortunately, despite its meticulous planning, it failed to anticipate Jing Yuan's existence.
As the messenger of the Star-Hunting God, Jing Yuan could easily launch a dimensional attack on this world. If he hadn't deliberately suppressed his strength, he could have easily taken down not only a small prison gate, but even cut the entire planet in half.
There's nothing we can do; this is the power of an Envoy-level being.
After confirming that Lu Suo had explained everything that needed to be explained, Jing Yuan took out the gourd specially made for him by the Ten Kings, which was engraved with a kitten pattern, and put Lu Suo, Zhenren, and Tuo Gen, who created this space, into it.
"Should we bring that volcano head in as well, or use it as a furnace?" Jing Yuan asked.
With a flick of his toe, Gojo Satoru retrieved the volcano head that had rolled to the ground earlier: "Let's put it back in."
He still has a lot to deal with, and the project of transforming the leaky pot into a hot pot stove will have to be postponed.
"Oh dear, I really owe you a debt of gratitude this time." Gojo Satoru expressed his thanks to Kagemoto. "If it weren't for you, I would definitely have been sealed away."
At that time, the world of sorcery will be in big trouble.
"No need to be so polite," Jing Yuan said with a smile. "After all, we're partners."
As a teammate, Jingyuan has always been very reliable.
A beeping sound came from Yu Zhao. Jing Yuan took it out and glanced at it, discovering it was a message from GIN.
"What's wrong? If it's something important, you can leave now. I'll take care of things here," Gojo Satoru said.
“No,” Jing Yuan smiled and said, “I was just warned by the homeowner.”
"Huh?" Gojo Satoru blinked in surprise. "You know the owner of this house?"
“Yes.” Jing Yuan nodded.
Moreover, his other house was the one where he tragically died under Jingyuan's Star Raft.
Even before the two of them entered the house, Kyungwon had taken a picture with the jade pendant and sent it to Gin, jokingly saying, "The owner of this house has the same surname as the fake name you used in Japan~ What a coincidence."
However, GIN did not reply to him at the time, probably because he was busy with a mission, and only contacted him just now.
GIN: "Because that's the house in my name."
Jing Yuan: "..."
"What are you planning to do in my house?" Gin, clearly aware of his destructive tendencies, immediately warned, "Don't you dare cause any damage in there!"
"But there's a cursed spirit inside..."
“I trust you’ll control the force you use when you do it.” Gin added at the end, “unless you don’t want chocolate dumplings for dinner tonight.”
Jing Yuan: "..."
Well, thankfully he held back when he attacked, otherwise, who knows how GIN would have retaliated when they met tonight.
“So, let’s find somewhere else to talk,” Jing Yuan said.
Gotsu nodded.
Considering the special nature of these cursed spirits, and the fact that Xia Youjie was also involved in this matter, Gojo Satoru took Jingyuan back to the main family.
The Gojo family truly lives up to its reputation as a large family with a history of nearly a thousand years. Even in Tokyo, where land is incredibly expensive, they still manage to own a vast mansion.
"I thought you would take them straight back to the Jujutsu High School." Jingyuan admired the surrounding scenery as he followed Gojo Satoru deeper into the courtyard.
“Jay’s body is not suitable to be in the high school,” Gojo Satoru explained. “Although those old geezers are so weak that their kneecaps are brittle, they are still a troublesome group to deal with.”
He has always hated trouble.
"I see." Jing Yuan didn't say anything more.
The two walked into the sealed room, where Ieiri Shoko was already waiting.
The woman in the white coat had a lollipop in her mouth, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw Jing Yuan.
Her gaze swept back and forth between the two men before she said, "This white-haired guy, this height, Wu, could he be your long-lost brother?"
Jing Yuan: "..."
Gojo Satoru: "..."
“Just kidding,” said Shoko Ieiri. “You two don’t look alike at all, especially Kagemoto, who looks much more reliable than you.”
Little did she know that Jingyuan was just as unreliable as Wutiao Wu was at that age. If it weren't for General Tengxiao and his sword master keeping him in check, this white lion cat would have been a master at destroying things.
"Shoko, how could you say that to me?" Gojo Satoru said, looking aggrieved. "When have I ever been unreliable when it comes to important matters?"
"So reliable that you almost got sealed away by the prison gates?" Ieiri Shoko looked at her friend with dissatisfaction. "You knew that handing over Jay's body to me to handle was the best outcome, but you insisted on doing it anyway."
"I never expected there to be such a disgusting sorcerer..." Gojo Satoru lowered his head, looking as dejected as a stray cat soaked in the rain.
Possessing someone else's body is truly despicable!
"What's done is done, there's no use blaming yourself now. Besides, didn't you two already resolve it?" Ieiri Shoko raised her hand and ruffled Gojo Satoru's hair, thinking to herself how nice it felt, while comforting him, "Cheer up, you never used to look like this."
“Shoko…” Gojo Satoru looked at his friend with teary eyes, then stepped forward and gave her a big bear hug. “It’s so good to have you here!”
Shoko Ieiri stroked the cat's head and said, "Get down, you're so heavy."
Putting aside Gojo Satoru's height of 1.9 meters, his muscular physique alone is quite impressive. If Ieiri Shoko were just an ordinary doctor, she would have been unable to stand up the moment she was bear-hugged.
Releasing Ieiri Shoko, who was almost suffocating from his weight, Gojo Satoru asked, "Did you bring the cursed corpse you asked Principal Yagura to make?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan, who had been pretending not to exist, instantly perked up, his eyes sparkling.
Is he finally going to have a kitten of his own?
“Of course.” Ieiri Shoko bent down, picked up the specially made box at her feet, and said, “Here it is.”
Jingyuan and Gojo immediately stuck their heads over.
They carefully opened the box and saw a tiny kitten, no bigger than a palm, sleeping on its back. Jingyuan couldn't resist reaching out and pinching its pink paws.
Ah, it feels so good!
Jingyuan felt that he could die without regrets because he had such an adorable kitten.
“It’s so small,” Gojo Satoru said.
It was only slightly larger than the mochi he usually ate.
“It will grow bigger,” said Shoko Ieiri. “Pandas used to be this big, and now they’re about your height.”
"Will this raccoon dog grow that big?" Jingyuan looked at Ieiri Shoko with some concern.
He has already owned one lion and doesn't plan to own a second one.
“No, it won’t,” Ieiri Shoko explained. “Principal Nocturne was modeled after an ordinary kitten. It could never grow as big as a tiger or a lion.”
Jing Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Although the lion is nice, he still prefers the small and cute raccoon dog.
"What does it eat on a regular basis?" Jingyuan carefully rubbed the cat's nose with his finger. "Does it need a litter box like a regular cat?"
"No need." Seeing how much he liked it, Ieiri Shoko handed him the box containing the cat. "It only looks like a cat. It's still a cursed body. It doesn't need to eat or excrete."
“That’s really convenient to raise,” Gojo Satoru said. “I feel like Principal Nocturne could get rich from this.”
“Unless the jujutsu world publicly acknowledges the existence of cursed spirits, it’s impossible,” said Shoko Ieiri.
"Then let's make it public," Gojo Satoru said nonchalantly.
Shoko Ieiri looked at her friend in surprise: "Are you serious?"
Once the existence of cursed spirits is made public, it will inevitably cause panic among most people. Since cursed spirits are born from negative human emotions, there is a fear that their numbers will surge.
“Isn’t it said that the power of the cursed spirits and the power of the cursed sorcerers will reach a balance? So if the power of the cursed spirits is suddenly increased, we cursed sorcerers should also be strengthened.” Gojo Satoru gently teased the kitten that had just woken up with his finger and said in a light tone, “So even if it is made public, it is not a big problem.”
For a moment, Ieiri Shoko didn't know how to refute.
“Let’s hold off for now,” Jing Yuan said. “I don’t think it’s the right thing to do until you have complete control of the magic world.”
Regardless of what Gojo Satoru wants to do, in Jingyuan's view, the most important thing is to first deal with the group of high-ranking officials who are always causing trouble for him; otherwise, there's no point in talking about anything else.
"As teammates, they might not be of much help, but they're definitely good at holding you back." Jingyuan patted Gojo Satoru on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Trust me, this is my advice to you as someone who's been there."
