The Soulless

Chapter 102 The Soulless

"Speaking of which, Su Nuo is supposedly the strongest curse master in legends, so why can his fingers seal newly enrolled curse masters?" Chu Wuji asked curiously.

When reading the original work, Chu Wuji had this question: asking Fukuro Megumi, a freshman who had just entered the school, to change the seal on Sukuna's finger seemed a bit like child's play.

"That's because Sukuna used a curse when making the cursed object." A flippant voice came from the doorway.

Chu Wuji turned his head and saw that Gojo Satoru, dressed in black, had been leaning against the door at some point.

"You arrived so quickly, and it's already resolved?" Chu Wuji's words puzzled the three who were completely unaware of the situation.

"Of course..." Gojo Satoru drawled, mimicking Chu Wuji, "No!"

He raised his hands, placed his fingertips on his head, and made a big heart shape with his fingers: "Of course, I handed it over to my dear teacher to handle, just like you!"

"After all, isn't cleaning up after students' messes part of a teacher's job?"

"6

"..." After silently mourning for the righteous path of the Night Moth for three seconds, Chu Wuji chose to forget about the trouble he had caused: "Let's talk about Su Nuo's curse."

"Well, since you're so curious, let my dearest Gojo Satoru-sensei explain it to you." Although Chu Wuji had only called him "sensei" once, Gojo Satoru began to mention it repeatedly.

"As everyone knows, the principle of a curse is to lose something and then gain something else."

"The fingers that Su Nuo used to house souls and magical power were also like this. According to our analysis, he may have made similar curses."

"That is: the finger can be sealed, and if it is absorbed by the cursed spirit, it will not change the cursed spirit's soul."

"In exchange for this, the material of the fingers will be replaced with indestructible dead wax."

"Oh!" Yiguyoutai suddenly realized, "That's why we've been unable to destroy these cursed items, and have been using sealing methods to store them."

"Bang!"

Gojo Satoru pulled out a small confetti cannon from somewhere and fired it: "Bingo! Yuuta-kun answered correctly, one point added!"

Fukuro Megumi glanced sideways, a look of annoyance on her face: "Remember to clean it up yourself later."

Chu Wuji did not participate in the discussion, but was thinking about something.

He hadn't thought of it before, but now that Su Nuo was mentioned again, Chu Wuji remembered something from the original story.

As is well known, the reason why the technique of being born with skill is called "born with skill" is because it cannot be acquired through learning.

However, Yuuji Itadori, the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, later in the manga, obtained Sukuna's Life-Giving Technique.

The reason is simple: because he swallowed Sukuna's finger, Sukuna's soul stayed in Itadori Yujin's body for a long time, and through an imprint similar to muscle memory, it imprinted Sukuna's life-giving technique on Itadori Yujin.

Ultimately, this is a physical change, much like how Brainflower used real people's techniques to modify the brains of ordinary people in the Death Journey in the original work, turning them into sorcerers.

If that's the case... then is it possible to skip these prerequisites and directly imprint the surgical techniques into one's own body through the analysis of surgical procedures?

As for whether it can be achieved, we'll find out by experimenting.

With a thought, Chu Wuji temporarily closed the mini-game and returned to reality.

Under Gu Zixin's puzzled gaze, Chu Wuji suddenly stood up and closed his eyes. The scarlet light brought about by the change in his flesh and blood flowed around his body like fireflies.

The next moment, a pop-up notification appeared.

You have acquired the skill [Born Technique - Expectation Convergence], current proficiency [Grandmaster (cannot be improved)]

It works!

And you even saved one exchange!

The only problem was that Chu Wuji tried to transform his brain into the structure of a sorcerer, but the feeling of sorcery power still did not emerge.

"Is it a difference in the world?"

Although he can't use spells without curse power, it's not a big problem. Chu Wuji has already accumulated more than 90 points. Once the main story begins, he can kill a few more curse spirits and exchange for the [Curse Power] trait.

The next step is to figure out how to get the useful skills from the Spellcaster Battle.

With this in mind, Chu Wuji returned to the mini-game.

"Yo, Fukuro."

"Hmm?" Fushiguro Megumi turned around curiously.

"Your mission sounds good. I've never seen Su Nuo's fingers before. Let's go together."

Fushiguro Megumi turned to look at Gojo Satoru, and seeing that the other seemed thoughtful and did not stop her, she could only nod.

This senior named Chu Wuji is far too familiar with everyone.

"Then let's set off now! Where is the destination?"

"Uh... the first one was in the underground morgue of a Tokyo hospital, and the second one was in a high school in Sendai."

Having received the news, Chu Wuji stopped dawdling and pulled Fu Heihui out the door.

"Take good care of yourselves, I'm leaving now."

Watching Chu Wuji leave, Gojo Satoru pulled out the seat that Fushiguro Megumi had been sitting in and plopped down on it. Under the displeased but unspeakable gaze of Zenin Maki, he put his feet up on Zenin Maki's bed and took out his phone to open a chat application.

[Shoko Ieiri: Did you really kill them all? It seems you raised a devil even more terrifying than you two scumbags.]

[Xia Youjie (incarcerated): That's really extreme.]

[Shoko Ieiri: Do you even have the right to say that? Besides, aren't you in jail? How come you're still using a cell phone?]

[Xia Youjie (incarcerated): Wasn't it because Chu Wuji massacred the high-ranking officials that the heirs of those families were so scared that they transferred all their manpower to protect themselves? I just asked Wu to help me sneak one in.]

[The World's Most Handsome Man: Speaking of which, has Chu Wuji's report come out yet?]

[The world's most handsome guy had his nickname changed to "White-haired Scumbag" by the group owner after he was exposed to gunpowder.]

[Shoko Ieiri: I looked closely, and just like what you saw with your six eyes, it has no soul.]

[Gojo Satoru: Hey! Don't change my name like that!]

[Gojo Satoru: But it's just not there at all? I thought it was fused with the body, like that person.]

[Ieiri Shoko: Zen-in? No, it's different. That was caused by Heaven and a tyrant.]

The screen was turned off, and the black screen reflected Gojo Satoru's face. White bandages covered his eyes, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

"Just as I thought."

"Huh? What did you say, teacher?" Yuta Otsuko didn't hear Gojo Satoru's murmur.

"It's nothing. By the way, I'm going to Kikusui-an to buy some Kikufuku. Do you want me to bring some back for you guys?" Gojo Satoru looked up and fiddled with his white bandage. "Speaking of which, should I change my image a bit, like maybe get a black eye patch or something?"

"No need. By the way, when is the panda coming back?"

"Him... he just unfortunately saw something terrifying, and he's a bit frustrated. He's probably going to eat bamboo now."
