Curse Returns: What did the human-shaped wishing machine do wrong this time?

"Gojo Satoru! This is not something you can decide! Putting aside how many high-ranking people that child has killed, if what you say is true, and that child has that kind of ability, he should use his ability to help us exorcise the cursed spirits to atone for his sins."

The dark figure behind the dimly lit shoji screen was reflected through the computer screen.

Even though these surviving high-ranking officials know there is no immediate danger, they still dare not step into the meeting room that terrified them, and they don't even dare to show their faces in online meetings.

Gojo Satoru crossed his legs and tilted his head back as he let out a big yawn.

"But how can one repay the price for a wish to exorcise a cursed spirit?"

Xia Youjie sat to the side and posed a profound question.

Since he could even use healing energy that could conjure human organs out of thin air, Xia Youjie naturally had no doubt about Alluka's ability to destroy cursed spirits. Moreover, Wu had said that it was a rule-based technique.

There aren't many sorcerers at the college level. The number of sorcerers on missions is completely disproportionate to the number of spirits produced by ordinary people in Japan each year. But isn't the purpose of sorcery to protect non-sorcerers?

If we use ordinary people as the price, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

"You must first bring that child here so we can determine his danger level. Furthermore, if we can find a pattern in the cost, we can completely offset the cost with criminals in prison."

The speaker was a very deep-set old man. As soon as he finished speaking, Gojo Satoru sneered and kicked over the chair in front of him without giving him any face.

"Stop dreaming, okay? Cursed spirits will always exist. Just like rotten oranges, one batch dies and another batch appears. What, will the prison never be empty?"

Gojo Satoru rolled his eyes, speechless.

He already knew what these people at the top were thinking before the report was even submitted.

They knew that the child would only be used as a tool, and they also knew that social order would gradually collapse.

—Once they taste the sweetness of chaos, all sorcerers will never be able to return to the normal world.

Will there be any sorcerers on missions at that time?

Everyone would think that all it would take is a simple wish, or the lives of a few criminals, and the cursed spirits would all die!

Although the world of sorcery reeks of decay and disgust, this kind of scene involving many innocent people is not what Gojo Satoru wants to see.

"...In short, it is a fact that the child killed the higher-ups. We will sentence him to death with a two-year reprieve and order the Night Moth Righteous Path to bring him here. These are things that must be done until he atones for his sins."

These high-ranking figures in the world of sorcery did not care about the deaths of their fellow citizens. After learning about the existence of the heaven-defying ability to grant wishes, they astutely discovered the possibility of profiting from it.

Whether it's 500 billion, exorcising cursed spirits, or a technique that even Gojo Satoru couldn't withstand, these are the capabilities that the General Headquarters needs most right now.

They need to re-establish their authority.

"You can publish whatever you want, we won't listen anyway. If you go too far, we'll kill you."

With his hands in his pockets, Gojo Satoru arrogantly kicked the computer in front of him, smashing it to pieces.

The annoying sound vanished the instant the electronic device shattered, but he stood there with a grim expression.

"Jay, these rotten oranges are still as disgusting as ever, aren't they? Why don't we kill the rest of them too!"

Although I had anticipated what choices these higher-ups would make, when I actually faced it, Gojo Satoru still felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"Wu, doing that is pointless, just like how those high-ranking officials who died were merely used as an excuse."

Xia Youjie shook his head, a hint of melancholy in his purplish-red eyes.

These high-ranking officials didn't care about Alluka himself, nor did they care how many of their peers died. All they cared about was the power in their hands and using high-sounding excuses to exchange the sacrifice of a few for a semblance of security.

If Gojo Satoru kills this group of high-ranking officials, wouldn't the person who takes over think the same way?

Everyone would think that way.

"Tsk... Anyway, let's stop Moth first. He can't openly defy the orders from higher-ups."

Gojo Satoru pushed open the door with some impatience and went out. Natsumi Yuki followed behind him and together they found the Night Moth Masamichi.

Sure enough, Moth had already been informed of Alluka's suspended death sentence. The group planned to meet the child and then figure out how to resolve the matter.

To everyone's surprise, the quiet room was empty, and the wide-open windows proved that people had escaped from there.

Xia Youjie hurriedly jumped downstairs and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found there was nothing downstairs.

"Strange, why didn't the high school's barrier give any warning?"

Moth of the Night never expected that someone could be lost right under his nose.

In his view, it was impossible for such a small child to escape on his own.

"Perhaps one of the elderly people is too old, and their barrier-breaking abilities are no longer effective."

Gojo Satoru's expression was relaxed.

Currently, Alluka's abilities have only been revealed to the higher-ups and the advanced students. The fact that she was able to abduct someone means that she is definitely not from the higher-ups or their side.

"Don't talk about Lord Tengen like that."

Upon hearing the implications of Gojo Satoru's words, Yagami Masamichi expressed his disapproval with a look of disagreement.

"I didn't name names! Wow, how could you say that about Lord Tengen?"

Gojo Satoru made a face that looked rather smug, and the next second his head was smashed open by Yomo Masamichi's fist, which was the size of a sandbag.

"Anyway, you should go and find him first. If that child is taken away by someone with ulterior motives, it will be no ordinary matter."

The Moth Lord is somewhat afraid that Alluka's abilities will once again cause social unrest.

He originally wanted to keep the child at the vocational college and use his connections to see if he could keep Alluka.

If this triggers another large-scale social unrest, he will truly have no face to make any more demands.

"I can roughly guess where he is~"

Gojo Satoru rubbed the bump from the moth's beating and hissed in pain.

The college didn't install surveillance equipment here because it was overconfident in the existence of the barrier. However, if the person could be taken away without alerting the college's guards and the barrier, the child would be absolutely safe.

"Shouldn't he be with his family?"

Xia Youjie now doesn't know whether bringing people here with Wu was a good thing or a bad thing.

Anyway, let's go check it out!

Gojo Satoru clasped his hands together.

He and Xia Youjie bought tickets for the next Shinkansen train to Sendai. Fortunately, it was still early and the Shinkansen hadn't stopped running yet.

When they arrived, they found the house deserted, with nothing left to be packed.

"The murderer really confessed without being asked."

Looking at the scene before him, Gojo Satoru slowly smiled.
