During the Meiji era, Kammo Kenrin found a woman with a special constitution, he used her to experiment on a certain possibility.
The Cursed Womb in the Jujutsu High Treasury was.. born at that time.
After Kobe Suzuo obtained the rights to use the Treasury, he had Merlin assign identification numbers to all the "collectibles" within it.
He had speculated about the origins of those nine strangely shaped embryos, but he truly hadn't expected that these things were another creation of the Three Great Families.
And then? After you caught Kammo Kenrin, did he reveal the reason for doing such things?
Zenin Naobito took the "stamped" contract, paused for a moment, then replied, "We didn't catch him. As soon as the matter was exposed, that guy vanished without a trace."
Kobe Suzuo let out an extremely mocking "Ha," and contemptuously cursed him a useless piece of trash.
The Jujutsu World is going to be finished sooner or later.
Zenin Naobito, who was currently drowning in debt, shrugged indifferently, "Whether there's a way out or not depends on a single word from you."
Kobe Suzuo stood up and straightened his collar, tossing the can of beer back to Zenin Naobito.
If everyone else thought like that, I wouldn't have to work overtime every single day—
PAPA! Have they already left?
The door to the reception room was pushed open in a hurry.
Zenin Naoya ran until his whole body was steaming, his hair limp, looking into the room anxiously like a yellow-haired puppy.
Author's Note:
I thought Naoya would call him old man or dad, but in the anime, he calls him papa.
I'm not sure if he's being sarcastic, considering how happily he laughed when Naobito died.
Chapter 47: That 1v1
Zenin Naoya failed to see Fushiguro Toji, after a moment of disappointment, he turned to his father sitting in the center seat, excitedly shouting his brilliant idea.
“Papa, listen to me. If Toji is working for the Kobe Family, why don't we just buy him?”
He spoke with such ease and casualness, no different from a spoiled child who, upon seeing a favorite toy, insists that his father buy it for him and that he must have it.
Kobe Suzuo, standing by the door, let out a light chuckle.
The voice, muffled by the fox mask, was not as gentle as usual, carrying an inhuman raspiness.
Kobe Suzuo was covered in Cursed Tools, all of which had top-tier concealment effects.
Zenin Naoya didn't notice his existence at all, standing blankly on the spot, looking at his silent father in the room, then at the humanoid creature standing by the door.
.. Why does looking at this thing for too long make me feel so dizzy?
Kid.
Kobe Suzuo called to him, "Your father just asked me to look after you. Do you know what that means?"
Zenin Naoya shook his head in a daze, his nose twitching like a puppy's as he caught the familiar scent of alcohol in the room.
That old drunkard must have been drinking again.
What does that mean?
Dad is going to die? A deathbed entrustment? So suddenly?
"Heh." Kobe Suzuo let out a sound, mocking the idiot.
He raised his hand and tapped the fool's forehead with his cane; the force was light, but enough to make Zenin Naoya wake up.
Kobe Suzuo joked, "It means your father sold you to me."
Zenin Naoya clutched his head and let out a short "Ah."
He had just been thinking about buying Toji-kun back, but in the end, he was the one who got sold? For how much?
He looked into the room in disbelief, his voice filled with uncertainty, "Dad?"
Kobe Suzuo had no interest in the foolish task of personally looking after an idiot; he was planning to just dump the person directly onto Masamichi Yaga once they were actually sent to Jujutsu High.
Hmm.. it seems a bit unfair to the hardworking employee.
I'll have to give Masamichi Yaga a double bonus when I get back.
Upon seeing him come out, the Zenin Clan maidservant at the entrance knelt respectfully on the ground, holding the tray above her head and presenting it to Kobe Suzuo.
Kobe Suzuo put her phone and communication headset into her pocket and followed the Zenin Clan servants to the front courtyard.
Cai Ming, who was waiting here, was bickering aimlessly with her uncle's family.
Zenin Meita's old face turned a dark, bruised purple with rage, looking as if he might faint at any moment.
Get out! Once you leave, don't ever come back!
His most promising grandson patted Zenin Meita on the shoulder and tried to persuade him, "Aunt Cai Ming's life is just like this now; she isn't even considered a member of the Zenin Clan at this point, so there is no need for you to be angry with her."
The old man was even more furious: "Pah! She'd be better off dying outside a long time ago!"
Cai Ming stuck out her tongue and made a face, "I actually hope you can live a little longer, old man."
Her seemingly affectionate words caused Zenin Meita's furious expression to freeze on his face.
However, in the next second, Cai Ming pulled a kraft paper envelope from her pocket and shook it flippantly.
If you're gone, I'll have nowhere to claim my annual living expenses.
Bastard! That's my private savings—
Cai Ming picked at her ear and walked toward Kobe Suzuo. "What did you say? I didn't hear you. Oh, the Director has finished his business and is coming out, so we'll be heading off now."
She slipped away quickly, happily weighing the rather thick envelope in her hand.
Those upturned green eyes were exactly like those of the family she had left behind.
Once they left the Zenin Clan, Cai Ming reverted to his usual fawning and sycophantic manner.
He opened the car door for Kobe Suzuo to get in, then scurried into the driver's seat, touching and feeling the luxury car with envy.
Kobe Suzuo had to remind him once again, "Remember your seatbelt."
Cai Ming let out two "ohs" and said joyfully, "Boss, Boss, I'm almost done paying off my mortgage this year, I can buy a new one next year!"
Technique: Life Projection.
A person's life consists of three deaths: the heart stops beating, followed by social death, finally, being forgotten by the world.
First, before being "forgotten," death never truly occurs.
Second, the stronger the connection to the mortal world, the higher the efficiency of the projection.
Third, when Life Projection takes effect, there is the possibility of "extinguishing" death.
Cai Ming's Cursed Technique rules were quite complex; it was the type of Cursed Technique that the conservatives hated most—trendy but lacking offensive power, with an ambiguous Cursed Technique effect.
Before Kobe Suzuo took power and summoned all the Jujutsu Sorcerers of the Kobe Family, even Cai Ming did not quite understand the meaning of this Cursed Technique.
Whether in the Zenin Clan or the Kobe Family, Cai Ming was someone who was entirely dispensable; if she died, no one would even remember her.
She was not Zenin Toji; she lacked the courage to resist, her hatred was not thorough enough. She was covered in a foul stench, nearly rotting away in a corner that no one cared about.
Cai Ming glanced at Kobe Suzuo, who was busy working, through the rearview mirror with her green eyes, then gave a silly laugh. "Thank you, BOSS."
Kobe Suzuo was confused. "What?"
Cai Ming pleaded sycophantically, "Boss, for the sake of me accompanying you on this business trip abroad, could you please not deduct my performance bonus?"
Kobe Suzuo was cold and ruthless, "One thing is one thing. The company has its rules. Check with the finance department yourself."
He pulled out a communication headset and put it on, preparing to ask Merlin about his upcoming itinerary.
Merlin, who had just taken a huge bite of something at the Zenin Clan, spoke in a snide voice, still bringing up Zenin Naoya.
Oh, calling someone a kid~ I think this Zhuzhu also has quite a bit of potential.
Oh right, that nickname 'Piggy' has quite deep roots with you; rounding it off, it's all because of you that it spread.
I've triggered your Passive quite a few times myself. Looking at it, the position of the arrogant loser by this CEO's side is undoubtedly yours.
Kobe Suzuo was startled by the idiotic AI's lecherousness, nearly tearing off her headphones and throwing them out the window.
After enduring it for a long time, he finally cursed, "Get lost, you vile Artificial Intelligence, trying to sow discord and destroy the sincere feelings between me and Satoru-kun."
Merlin was shocked: "What? Have I already been branded as a wicked AI?"
Kobe Suzuo said indifferently, "If you keep instigating me to go out and develop relationships with all those random people, you'll be officially branded as cannon fodder."
Being cannon fodder never ends well, even for an AI personally created by the CEO.
Merlin let out its most human-like sigh in this world. "Fine, I know you are a hardcore romantic, Young Master."
Tonight, I'm going to change the Corner Game system into a Flag Destruction system. It will detect every possible spark of romance around a CEO and provide the best plan to try and cut down all the peach blossoms, except for the little white.. the big white flowers.
Kobe Suzuo..
I shouldn't have asked about romance the moment Merlin activated in the first place.
It's over now; a perfectly good AI has turned into a love-brain that can't go three sentences without mentioning romance.
Kobe Suzuo painfully tried to steer the conversation back to a proper topic:
Merlin, add special annotations to entries such as Kammo Kenrin and Cursed Womb.
Kobe Suzuo looked out the window at the shadows of the trees passing by, "He conducted experiments like that, acting like a mad scientist; how could he just abandon his research results and vanish into thin air?"
Even if he chose to go into hiding due to the pursuit of the Jujutsu World, he was still quite young back then; could it be that he truly didn't attempt any other horrific experiments?
Kobe Suzuo's tone grew heavy: "I have a bad feeling about this. Tell me, what are the chances that guy is still alive?"
There were too few relevant keywords, Merlin's retrieval speed was extremely fast: "Basic information is missing; the accuracy of the relevant speculative data remains to be verified."
Its electronic voice paused, providing a rather vague answer:
It's just, Young Master, there is one thing I can be certain of: the possibility you're guessing indeed exists.
Regarding immortality, there is a well-known case in the Jujutsu World.
Tengen.
