Just like Kaori's death, just like Jin's departure.
Cloudy eyes gazed toward Kobe Suzuo, his expression indescribably complex.
There is no need to ask for my opinion anymore; as long as this child is happy, let him do as he pleases.
Kobe Suzuo nodded, her fingers tapping a few times in the void. The bright silver console in the center of the room split down the middle, slowly extending a smooth platform.
Fushiguro Toji picked up the box at his feet and placed it on the platform according to Kobe Suzuo's instructions.
The restrictions were opened, revealing eighteen fingers, each wrapped in sealing cloth inscribed with runes. The seals were fresh, as if they had been applied not long ago.
There is too little research regarding the soul, I haven't been able to find a way to separate Sukuna from Yuji's body for the time being, so the general direction of the plan has been set on weakening Ryomen Sukuna's power.
Kobe Suzuo and Merlin discussed for a long time.
They even went through the immense trouble of contacting the World Consciousness to strike a deal, finally settling on a conservative plan:
“Before Yuji comes of age, all the power within the Fingers must be destroyed, a vessel capable of containing Ryomen Sukuna's soul must be created using them as a medium. At that time, we will judge based on the actual situation whether or not to kill him—"
Kobe Suzuo finished her sentence in one breath and looked at everyone, "Do you understand?"
No one spoke, even Itadori Wasuke, who had been despondent for a long time, looked at him.
Itadori Wasuke: Making such a big deal out of it, but in the end, it actually has nothing to do with Yuji, doesn't it?
No wonder they were knocked unconscious the moment they walked through the door.
Kobe Suzuo looked blankly: "Is there something you don't understand?"
Satoru Gojo looked around and raised his hand to ask a question:
Does Suzuo know how to destroy the finger? The Special Grade Cursed Object is immune to fire and water; even Blue is helpless against it.
Kobe Suzuo said, "I have some ideas, but I'll have to ask Nobara Iori for help with this."
Nobara Iori pointed to the tip of her nose with her index finger. "Me?"
Kobe Suzuo nodded, "Yes, it's you."
He sent a text file of the theoretical overview of discussion to Nobara Iori.
I wonder if you have ever tried using Reverse Cursed Technique on a Cursed Spirit before.
Theoretically, besides using negative cursed energy multiplied by negative cursed energy to obtain positive life energy with healing properties, an outward-facing Reverse Cursed Technique can cancel out the cursed energy of Cursed Spirits or even Cursed Objects, thereby achieving the effect of exorcism or even purification.
Kobe Suzuo smiled gently and said to the dazed Nobara Iori:
“Practical operations might be a bit difficult. I have prepared a specialized studio for you at Jujutsu High. I have asked Tengen and Riko Amanai to assist you from the side using barrier techniques while you are attempting it.”
As Suguru Geto listened, a sudden chill ran down his spine. He glanced to the side and saw that Kobe Suzuo was indeed facing him.
He always had an ominous feeling, so he braced himself and spoke up first, "Is there anything you need me to do?"
Kobe Suzuo smiled and sent a copy of the document to Suguru Geto as well.
Suguru Geto glanced at the title:
Cursed Spirit Biology and Embryo Engineering.
Suguru Geto..
“The research institute has already filed the paperwork with the authorities, so everything is legal, compliant, morally sound!”
Kobe Suzuo spoke rapidly: "Don't worry, it's all legal, compliant, ethical; the official authorities have already filed the paperwork."
You only need to go to the research institute during your spare time, use Cursed Spirit Manipulation to ensure the survival rate of the experimental Cursed Spirits, focus on your scientific research. You'll find out more details when the time comes.
Oh, right. Both the research institute and Jujutsu High are legitimate organizations with full social security and housing fund benefits; it won't affect your studies or your future employment.
Of course, I would much rather you work directly for me after you graduate..
“Suzuo, wait a moment.” Seeing Kobe Suzuo getting increasingly worked up, Satoru Gojo hurriedly pulled on Kobe Suzuo's sleeve and asked him:
“What about me?”
Kobe Suzuo's long-winded speech finally came to an end. His dark eyes stared at Satoru Gojo for two seconds before he raised his right hand and shrugged.
Fushiguro Toji, with dead fish eyes, slowly pulled a small plastic card hanging from a blue string out of his briefcase and handed it over.
What is this?
Satoru Gojo asked.
Kobe Suzuo handed the ID card to Satoru Gojo and said solemnly, "It's an ID badge."
The side facing up showed Satoru Gojo's name, age, school, major, the ID photo was a handsome face grinning at the camera.
Satoru Gojo had a sudden lapse in judgment and covered his mouth, exclaiming, "Do you want me to be the CEO's personal little secretary, a controlled canary, or a helpless parasite, Suzuo?"
He spoke so candidly that even Kobe Suzuo almost lost her composure, flipping over the card in Satoru Gojo's hand.
Tokyo Jujutsu High, Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer, Assistant Teacher Certification.
Satoru Gojo let out a very suspicious hiss.
Kobe Suzuo thought it was a bit cute.
He coughed and explained, "Tokyo needs a Special Grade to guard it; someone still has to do the missions."
In addition, besides Yuta Okkotsu and Megumi Fushiguro, who have already awakened their Innate Technique, the school has recruited several promising adults.
Kobe Suzuo paused, then also mentioned the message Merlin had received not long ago:
There is someone who learned a Domain through self-study using only publicly available information on the internet, they need your help to take a look.
Satoru Gojo waited for a while without receiving a response, then tilted his head in confusion toward Kobe Suzuo, "Is there nothing else besides these?"
He had unconsciously moved close to Kobe Suzuo.
Arm against arm, he tilted his head to look at the screen in front of Kobe Suzuo, his soft white hair brushing against his cheek with every movement.
As she tilted her head, she drew even closer, so close that every single eyelash was distinct, her azure eyes seemed to contract and expand with every breath.
Kobe Suzuo suddenly felt a sense of trance.
Just like those who have gone through countless hardships to finally attain happiness, they might find such small details to be surreal.
He raised his hand to rub that white hair, feeling the sensation of the strands passing through his fingertips, said softly, "This is enough."
Satoru Gojo blinked and broke free from Kobe Suzuo's grasp.
Helping those present, who were hesitating and unsure of how to speak, to ask the question they most wanted to know at this moment:
“Why does Suzuo think this plan is feasible?”
Many things were just mentioned—whether it's using the Reverse Cursed Technique on Cursed Objects or conducting experiments on Cursed Spirit organisms, they are all concepts that have yet to be realized, aren't they?
Satoru Gojo asked, "If it can't be done, things will get very troublesome, won't they?"
Kobe Suzuo curled her lips, her chin tilted up at a forty-five-degree angle, her long legs crossed, her leather shoes shining brightly.
As soon as he opened his mouth, an elaborate floral background seemed to appear behind him, accompanied by an aura of dominance and a regal BGM.
“Because it's me, because it's for you, I can definitely do it.”
After Kobe Suzuo finished speaking, his signature overbearing and wicked smile softened slightly, becoming gentler and more genuine.
He looked at the people in the room and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were bright, he suddenly offered a random greeting.
He said:
It's a pleasure to meet you all.
..
Itadori! Stop blowing them up, we don't need that many balloons!
Fushiguro Megumi struggled to crawl out from the pile of balloons, then leaned back to retrieve his Divine Dog.
The summon, which was as large as a wolf, huddled in place with a muffled sound, its claws retracted for fear of popping the balloons.
Yuji Itadori took the balloon off the hand pump and looked up in confusion:
Huh? But shouldn't there be lots of balloons at a wedding? Brother Kobe asked me to help prepare them.
Fushiguro Megumi struggled through the doorway into the room, looking up at Itadori Yuji sitting on the ladder:
“Brother Kobe told you to prepare a bouquet, just one! Twenty or thirty is enough, you already have two or three thousand of them!”
Looking at the sea of colorful balloons that almost overflowed from the room, Itadori Yuji scratched his head and said cheerfully:
It's fine. If there's a lot, we can just wait for Brother Kobe to come back tomorrow and pick the ones he likes.
Fushiguro Megumi said irritably, "Don't you ever check your messages? He's coming back today, he'll be at Jujutsu High any moment."
Yuji Itadori's eyes widened, he hurriedly jumped down from the ladder, as the crowded balloons pushed toward him, almost soaring over his head.
He rushed to run outside, calling out to Fushiguro Megumi, "Then let's go pick him up quickly."
Fushiguro Megumi muttered speechlessly, "What do you think I came here to find you for?"
He summoned Divine Dog, making it grow to a suitable size, then flipped himself onto its back and jumped straight out the window instead of taking the stairs.
As he landed, Itadori Yuji happened to be walking out of the first floor, he raised his chin confidently toward the sprinting Itadori Yuji: "I'll be going ahead."
That's too cunning!
Itadori Yuji watched as a person and a dog darted past him at high speed, then they accelerated even faster.
The helipad was very close to the Elementary School, they saw the Kobe Family helicopter as soon as they went out.
It just seemed like today's landing procedure was a bit off; the helicopter lowered the lift directly in mid-air.
The two kids stopped in their tracks. Not only had the elevator been lowered, but the cabin door had also opened, two people were pulling at each other, it was unclear what they were doing.
Yuji's vision was somewhat better, but before he could take a closer look, his attention was drawn to the red spheres emerging from the elevator.
Where did the balloons come from?
He turned back with a sense of belated realization; the colorful balloons were like escaping spirits, scurrying out from his room's windows, the hallway windows, every corner in a frantic rush.
The deep blue sky instantly became vivid, like an ocean filled with colorful little fish.
Splash.
Two people fell into this sea.
Kobe Suzuo kept her eyes closed, her expression emotionless.
