Chapter 18: The Fate of a Jujutsu Sorcerer
Satoru sat cross-legged on the ground, staring intently at the elder.
His expression was serious, afraid to miss any detail.
Seeing Satoru, who was not as carefree and childish as usual.
The elder began to speak.
"Satoru, you should know about the incident from the Edo period hundreds of years ago."
"When the heads of our Gojo Family and the Zenin Family fought to the death in front of the emperor."
Satoru nodded, "I remember. After that battle,"
"Not only did the relationship between our Gojo Family and the Zenin Family reach an all-time low,"
"Our strength greatly diminished."
"If it weren't for the Kamo Family mediating, the Gojo Family and the Zenin Family might have already gone to war."
"That's right. That battle left both our families with heavy losses and severely damaged our vitality."
"But... don't you find it strange, Satoru?"
"It was just an ordinary contest between the The Big Three Families, yet it led to a deathmatch between the heads of the Gojo and Zen'ins!"
"And the Kamo Family, in this story, just happened to be the peacemaker, the good guy."
"Don't you find it too bizarre?"
"Grandfather, are you suggesting that someone interfered?"
Satoru's gaze instantly became grave.
Indeed, that battle was full of suspicions.
After all, to become the head of a family,"
One must have extremely strong power, as well as the determination and responsibility to think for the family.
They couldn't just act recklessly.
Because they represent not just themselves, but the family!
So, as the heads of the Gojo Family and the Zenin Family at that time,"
Even if they disliked each other, they wouldn't let things get out of hand.
Because they knew that once they fought, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But they not only fought but also fought to the death.
In the end, they even perished together in that battle!
This should never have happened.
"That's right. Do you also remember the Nine Figures incident from 150 years ago?" the elder asked.
"You mean the man called the stain of the Kamo Family, Kamo Kenrin," Satoru replied thoughtfully.
"That's right, I suspect..."
"The Kamo Family might already be doomed."
"I also suspect that the reason that battle happened back then was likely due to a hidden mastermind within the Kamo Family."
"So, you mean the Kamo Family might now be controlled by an evil Jujutsu Sorcerer?"
The elder spoke, "That's right."
"And that mastermind is very likely the one known as the most evil Jujutsu Sorcerers in history, Suitu."
Hearing Suitu's name, Satoru's brow furrowed slightly.
"That shouldn't be possible. He was a figure from a thousand years ago."
"Who knows, maybe he has a special way to extend his life that we don't know about."
The elder paused, then, as if giving final instructions, said,
"Satoru, from now on, the Gojo Family is in your hands."
The elder looked at Satoru, reluctant to part.
"Grandfather, I always feel that in the future, the Jujutsu World and the neon lights will undergo earth-shattering changes."
"Perhaps the family system of the The Big Three Families will be destroyed because of this."
"The decay and corruption of the Jujutsu Higher-ups and the family system."
"I hope you can change the current state of Jujutsu."
"Change this rotten Jujutsu World."
"That's why I sent you to Jujutsu High."
"Because only then will the Jujutsu Sorcerers have no class discrimination, no prejudice, and no bias."
"Only you, Satoru, the Eyes of the Azure Heaven of the Gojo Family."
"The possessor of the Six Eyes."
"You can definitely create this miracle!"
"Grandfather, I don't have much time left. Alas, I haven't seen my great-grandchild yet."
With that, the Barrier dissipated.
The elder's last bit of Cursed Energy was completely exhausted.
He closed his eyes, awaiting death.
Satoru slowly rose and promised the elder, "Rest assured, Grandfather, I will fulfill your wish."
"After all, I am the strongest."
After Satoru left,"
Several members of the Gojo Family came to the elder and used Jujutsu to send him on his final journey.
Dying in Jujutsu is the rule for a Jujutsu Sorcerer; this is the ultimate fate of a Jujutsu Sorcerer.
——
Outside the mall, Alex Moyan had already completed his task and was preparing to go to the countryside with Geto Suguru.
Seeing Alex Moyan already out of the mall, Shoko Ieiri was somewhat surprised.
"That's it?"
Shoko Ieiri calculated; Alex Moyan went in and came out
In just over two minutes!
That's too fast!
Not only was Shoko Ieiri shocked by Alex Moyan's lightning speed,
Even Geto Suguru was stunned.
That speed is too fast!
Did you upgrade to Thunder VIP?
Faster than Satoru!
I'm talking about the task. If you're thinking otherwise, reflect on yourself.
Alex Moyan said, "Just this? I'm already slow."
If it weren't for considering your feelings, I would have come out a minute earlier.
It was just a matter of a sentence, quick to the bowl.
Then those Cursed Spirits were collected by Alex Moyan like bullets, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
"Let's go, Geto Suguru."
Alex Moyan patted Geto Suguru on the shoulder and jumped into the car in one swift move.
Geto Suguru smiled helplessly.
"You really plan to go to the countryside with me?"
Alex Moyan had a matter-of-fact expression, "Of course, what's wrong with that?"
"Unless... you dislike me!"
Alex Moyan immediately put on a pitiful face, like a wronged wife.
Geto Suguru's mouth twitched, speechless.
The last time he saw this happen was the last time.
Seeing that Geto Suguru didn't speak, Alex Moyan wiggled his butt and found a comfortable sitting position.
"Anyway, I'm free. Might as well go to the countryside for a change of scenery."
"What if there's something fun?"
"Like a newly unearthed special grade cursed object or a Special Grade Cursed Spirit hidden deep in the mountains."
"Wow, just thinking about it is exciting!"
Looking at Alex Moyan with such a rich imagination,
Geto Suguru was a bit speechless, "Classmate Alex, your imagination is quite vivid."
Alex Moyan waved his hand, "Eh, it's just average. I'm usually very low-key, very aloof, not talkative, you know?"
Looking at Alex Moyan, who was about to write 'proud' and 'talkative' on his face,
Geto Suguru thought, "You're aloof?"
Indeed, the first time they met, Geto Suguru thought Alex Moyan should be a taciturn, extremely arrogant guy.
But after spending these days together,
Geto Suguru found that this kid, Alex Moyan, was similar to Satoru, outwardly aloof but actually not sensible at all.
Unlike me, not only handsome but also steady and mature.
Sigh, can't help it, who let me be so handsome?
Wait, I'm being influenced by these two!
Geto Suguru got into the car, and the two set off for the countryside.
After several hours of travel, the two finally arrived at a picturesque and tranquil village.
"Ah~"
Alex Moyan, who had been in the car for several hours, stretched lazily.
Breathing in the freshest air from nature,
Mixed with the aroma of earth, the scent of grass, and the fragrance of flowers.
As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they found several middle-aged men and women already waiting.
They were probably the village head, village officials, and the like.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they arrived at a prepared banquet.
Alex Moyan, with his rumbling stomach, enjoyed the feast.
During the meal, Geto Suguru learned about the situation of this incident from the village head and others.
Afterward, they came to the edge of the village.
Here stood a beautiful three-story villa.
However, due to long-term vacancy, it looked somewhat eerie and terrifying.
Alex Moyan and Geto Suguru also noticed the abnormality inside the villa.
