Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 318 Doubt

When Gojo Satoru returned to Tokyo Curse High School, the interrogation of those curse masters had not even ended, and the return of the parties involved brought them more detailed information.

"The enemies are mainly a few cursed spirits, which are quite troublesome. More importantly, the intelligence of those cursed spirits is beyond my expectation. They can even have a conversation with me without any hindrance. If it weren't for the six eyes telling me that they are indeed cursed spirits, I might have thought they were some kind of sorcerer who was corrupted by a curse."

As soon as Gojo Satoru came back, he announced a bombshell news: it was not uncommon for cursed spirits to have intelligence or thoughts, and even to speak a few human words. However, all previous situations could be roughly classified as the nature of the birth of the curse.

It's not surprising that the curse born from people's negative emotions is tainted with some of their characteristics, but the thinking of those cursed spirits is just the instinct of fighting. If we make an analogy, they are roughly at the level of wild beasts, that is, they understand some basic tactics, choices and the like.

The human words they uttered were actually meaningless words carved out from a series of processes that led to their birth. Perhaps even the cursed spirits themselves could not understand their meaning. As for the barrier-free communication between them and humans...

The meaning behind it is too profound. No one thinks that Gojo Satoru would exaggerate on such a matter. Although he is unreliable in many things, at this time, in terms of spells, the words from Gojo Satoru's mouth are like his reputation, weighing heavily on the heart and the listeners cannot help but take them seriously.

"Tsk tsk, those cursed spirits are quite interesting. According to themselves, they even have their own names, namely Louhu, Zhenren, Huayu, and there is also a curse master who didn't say his own name.

These cursed spirits seemed to be very familiar with us or the current world of curses. They even recognized me at the first sight and tried to escape. One of them tried desperately to stop me, but I crushed the guy named Hua Yu with my domain, but let the other cursed spirits escape. "

In fact, the general situation of the battle had already been known earlier, and Gojo Satoru's narration only allowed everyone to further understand more detailed details of the battle, such as the true understanding of the cursed spirits with names he mentioned.

"This kind of strength is also outstanding among the special-grade ones. And the most terrible thing is that according to what Wu said, the intelligence of these cursed spirits is no different from that of humans. I guess the curse masters who invaded here are also related to them. So, what is their purpose?"

Ye Mo Zheng Dao pointed out the most crucial point. He and others had the same question, that is, Tokyo's strategic goal should be the more important one.

If other reasons are not considered, the existence of Hongxing Palace and Tianyuan are the targets that the enemy should attack. Although Tianyuan does not have any outstanding ability in exorcising curses head-on, as the center of the barriers spread all over the place, its importance has been verified through hundreds of years of practice.

Gojo Satoru sat back in his chair with his hands behind his head: "Well... the Jiku in Kyoto was forcibly broken open and some things were lost. I think the more important thing is probably the 'Sukuna Finger' that was transferred to Kyoto for safekeeping.

That's right, it's the famous Ryomen Sukuna in the history of curses. It is said that this guy has a total of twenty fingers. If this thing is swallowed by other cursed spirits and does not die, it will soon create a special-grade cursed spirit with fluctuating specific strength. Needless to say, it is dangerous, right?"

Gojo Satoru's expression became more serious when he said this: "I suspect those guys want to collect all the Sukuna fingers and try to revive them, so as to recreate the cursed era in this era. After all, the two-faced Sukuna is known as the 'Cursed King'."

Then he paused and finally talked about the issue that everyone present was actually concerned about at the moment.

"Also, some of the high-ranking officials in Kyoto have died. They seemed to have gathered at the Kyoto Jujutsu High School because of something. As you all know, the two Jujutsu High Schools are also among the most important places in the world of Jujutsu on another level.

Remember those cursed spirits I mentioned? One of them was called Lougu. His spell seemed to be about fire and magma. When they first broke through Tokyo Jugo and Jiku, they were unable to escape from the house in time due to the magma created by their spell, so they all died in the sea of ​​fire. "

Mingming twirled the braid in front of her, and there was a different meaning flashing in her raised eyes. At this time, the singer might have noticed the abnormality. Although the enemy's curse of invading the two places was a little unexpected, it was understandable after all, considering that those cursed spirits had the same wisdom as humans.

The invasion and the taking away of Sukuna's finger or other cursed items were understandable, but the death of some of the high-ranking officials in Kyoto was somewhat inexplicable. It was such a coincidence that those high-ranking officials gathered in Kyoto's Curse High School. It was such a coincidence that the cursed spirits used large-scale spells to kill and burn them to death. It was such a coincidence that they were all conservative high-ranking officials...

Even if we have to explain it, it is not impossible. We can just investigate the story about the gathering of those high-level officials. Kyoto has always been the sphere of influence of the conservatives, so it is understandable that they appeared in the Kyoto Metropolitan College of Jutsu.

As for the culprit mentioned by Gojo Satoru, that is, the cursed spirit named Rokuko, its astonishing strength and the destructive power of its magic can be seen from the images of the remains at the scene.

This kind of large-scale killing is indeed an inevitable death for ordinary people who are unfortunately caught up in it. Gojo Satoru's [No Bottom Limit] can protect himself, but it cannot expand the scope to the entire Tokyo Jugoku.

It seems that the sudden death of the senior executive in Kyoto was just an accident, but as the unspeakable thought arises in many people's minds at this time: Is it really such a coincidence?
However, even if we think about this "conspiracy theory" carefully, we will find that it is not so easy to explain. If this accident is not an accident, then the most likely mastermind behind the scenes is naturally the reformists who will benefit the most in the near future.

Who is the leader of the reformist faction? The answer is of course the one headed by the Gojo faction, more specifically the three masters and apprentices consisting of Kamigōichi, Gojo Satoru, and Geto Suguru.

How to put it... The Gojo faction is now in its heyday, and the reform plan and initial attempts are already underway. And most importantly, since the time of Gojo Satoru, the balance of power within the sorcery world has long been destroyed. The few special-grade sorcerers are more or less related to the Gojo faction, and two of them are even from the Gojo family, which means that the conservatives' foundation is still very powerful in the world. Otherwise, there would be no factions or ideological disputes, and everything would only follow the wishes of the most powerful party.

It's not that there was no motive, but even the leader of the conservatives, Yoshinobu Leyanji, did not think that Shenyuan would really carry out such obvious persecution.

It's not that we don't have the ability, but that we don't need to. We just need to continue developing it. As the magic gradually reveals itself in the real world, innovation will be on the right track without bloodshed.

But this method is really a bit... too urgent, and it is suspected of being in league with the thief. That is a cursed spirit, and colluding with the cursed spirit...

"Does all this have anything to do with you?"

Le Yansi thought to himself, but he already had a bad feeling in his heart. With the real evidence of those cursed spirits taking action in front of him, even if they insisted that all this was the conspiracy of the reformists, it seemed that they would have no way to deal with them.

"Shenyuanyi, can your technique save them?"

As if he had expected Leyan Temple to ask this question, Shen Yuanyi still had a faint smile on his face and immediately gave an answer.

"No, the spell needs a target. They have all been reduced to ashes by the spell of the cursed spirit. I can't possibly conjure them out of thin air, right?"

In fact, Shenyuan Yi can do it. He only needs to expand the reversal field and expand the target of time reversal to a piece of space, then everything in this area will return to the moment when the technique retraces it.

But wasn't all this exactly what he had planned? How could he use magic to save those worthless people now? In fact, the peaceful evolution that many people imagined was impossible. Under the peace that seemed to be heading towards an inevitable outcome, there could not have been no final struggle of those dying people.

Even if it's like boiling a frog in warm water, in the end all the living things in the pot have to jump a few times. How could those conservative leaders not be ruthless and fight for their lives when they are about to lose everything? However, if you ask if there is a way to suffer less losses, there is indeed a way.

In the long past, it is impossible for Shenyuan not to have such a plan. To put it simply, it would be to win over a group and destroy a group, thus naturally dividing those high-level sorcerers who were originally in the same interest group.

With the consensus that sorcery will no longer be able to be hidden in the future, there will always be people willing to accept the olive branch thrown by Shenyuanyi, and then betray their alliances and positions. In the end, most of the pain of change will only be confined to the replacement of the top sorcerers.

However, why did Shen Genichi go to so much trouble? He had already discussed the future blueprint in great detail with Xia Youjie and the others. In the foreseeable future, countless new sorcerers would be born from the crowd, and the whole world would be changed because of it.

Among those new sorcerers, there will definitely be talented people who can reach the level of Gojo Satoru and others. This is the inevitability of the times. So, do these new generation of sorcerers need to live up to their status and power?

At that time, if the interest groups represented by these conservative leaders still exist, it will be like different trees in an area competing for sunlight. The total "lighting area" is so small, and your huge root system and lush branches and leaves will inevitably block my absorption of sunlight.

This kind of conflict is inevitable. Instead of wasting time and energy on internal conflicts and losing unnecessary people and things, it is better to burn the forest clean at the beginning to make room for later trees to survive. The ashes of the former can also serve as fertilizer to moisten the soil.

However, the above reasons only account for about 40 to 50% in total. The main reason why Kamigōichi wants to use Noseso and Sukuna to reshape the present and pave the future is that he does not want to play any power games with those high-level sorcery masters.

This is a world of curses! Not to mention what Shen Yuanyi has done at this moment, didn't he, in the history of this world, twice override all the military nobles with his personal will?

Power and force.

Without the support of force, the so-called power is just like a beautiful appearance. In front of a being with truly unrivaled power, the former is like the courtesan in a red-light district, who can only allow himself to be taken advantage of and kneel on the ground.

There are always some among these military nobles who regard their own kind as ants, raising the class gap to a level that is even wider than that of race. If they want to climb to the top of the tower and hold on to the greatest power and never want to let go, then Shen Yuanyi doesn't mind giving them a little help.
