Curse Return: Demon Void Girl Doesn't Want to Be a Weakling

Only one lamp was lit in the dimly lit room.

Lu Suo read through the intelligence he had just obtained from beginning to end.

The exorcism of Hana was unexpected, but still within the realm of possibility.

Having the real person use a clone to stall for time inside the college was the right choice; otherwise, even the real person might not be able to return.

The only good news is that we've achieved our goal: Su Nuo's finger and the first three numbers of the Nine Phases of the Cursed Fetus Diagram.

Two people disrupted his operation: Hisahito Itadori and Mashiro Kujo.

One reason is that they grew too fast, and their strength exceeded expectations.

One is a mysterious fusion of a shikigami and a human, whose strength and techniques are unknown.

Thinking of Kujo Mashiro, Ryosaku stroked his chin: "Besides Gojo Satoru, there's also her to deal with."

It seems that the combat power he thought was sufficient before is still not enough, and he urgently needs more combat power now.

Otherwise, the chances of winning against those highly skilled sorcerers would be too low.

The real person sat opposite him, resting his chin on his hand.

He didn't say a word after he came in; he seemed to be deep in thought.

Upon hearing Tōsō's words, he snapped out of his reverie. "Kujō Mashiro?"

"That's right, her threat to us is now on par with that of Gojo Satoru."

"She now has at least five spells." The real man recalled the scene of his clone fighting her, and a smile appeared on his face again.

His close, hard-fought battle with his clone allowed him to gather a great deal of intelligence.

Next time, I'll make sure she never comes back.

Lu Suo nodded, looking a bit troubled, and said, "Yes, it's a procedure similar to the one involving the 'Yi Gu' (乙骨). This is fine overseas, but now there's an even more troublesome one happening in China."

"Then what should we do?" The real person shifted their posture, lowering their hand from their chin. "How do we repair the gap in the flower's skin?"

"We can't make up for the quality issue, so we can only focus on quantity." Lu Suo stood up and walked to the cabinet at the other end of the room.

The drawer was pulled open, revealing a box containing the seal of Su Nuo's fingers; the talisman on the lid gleamed dimly under the light.

Lu Suo opened one of the boxes, and found two layers of talisman paper inside. Su Nuo rested her fingers on the paper.

The magical power of the fingers overflowed the moment the box was opened, causing the lights to flicker several times before returning to normal.

The real person focused their gaze on Su Nuo's fingers. "Are you going to feed your fingers to the cursed spirit?"

"Yes, give a few to the level one curse spirits that the Panxing Sect has taken in. Swallowing them will raise them to the special level." Lu Suo closed the sealing box and tapped the lid with his fingertip.

"Three top-tier curse masters will lead the team, one in Nagoya, one in Osaka, and one in Kyoto. Add ten more curse masters in each city as sources of curse power to keep them busy."

He pushed the drawer back, "The last finger was pulled back in, and that day it was stuffed into Itadori Yuujin's mouth at the same time, making Sukuna more complete, enough to make him lose control for a short time."

"Are you sure Sukuna will lose control as you predict?"

"I'm not sure, but Sukuna won't help anyone. He's been inside Itadori for so long, he should have lost his patience by now. Just give him a chance, and he'll do it himself."

Lu Su pointed with her finger, "If possible, it would be even better to have Su Nu join us. Even if that's not possible, we've still achieved our goal."

The official nodded and agreed to the plan.

……

The secret chamber was located inside the Panxing Sect. The three cursed spirits were contained in an iron cage beforehand, and the cage was covered with suppressing talismans.

When Lu Suo entered the secret room, he was carrying three boxes, with the real person following behind him.

Lu Suo placed the box on the operating table and opened the lid.

The cursed power in his fingers surged out again, and the three cursed spirits in the iron cage became restless.

Their desire for immense magical power made them disregard the power of talismans.

The first iron cage was opened, and just as the cursed spirit inside was about to rush out, Lu Suo reached out and pressed the cursed spirit back to the bottom of the cage.

The cursed spirit's momentum came to an abrupt halt, nearly causing it to be completely destroyed.

Lu Suo put his finger into the mouth of the cursed spirit, and after the cursed spirit swallowed it, its body began to swell.

The expansion process lasted for several seconds, causing the bars of the iron cage to bend outwards, and intense fluctuations of cursed power emanated from the cursed spirit's body.

Gradually, the expansion stopped, and the cursed spirit reformed.

Its size has increased by almost twice as much as before, and its spell power has visibly increased by one level.

It climbed out of the cage and bowed its head in front of Lu Suo Mian. It knew that even if it had swallowed its finger, the man in front of it could still take it back and end its life at any time.

Lu Suo pried open its mouth, his fingers already embedded in the cursed spirit's body, and he nodded in satisfaction.

"Next."

Soon, all three fingers were swallowed, and Lu Suo stood up and dusted off his hands.

Three newly created top-tier cursed spirits lay prostrate in the center of the secret chamber, their cursed power pressing against each other, emanating a terrifying aura.

Lu Suo turned and walked out of the secret room, and Lou Hu turned his gaze from the cursed spirit to him.

What a terrifying man. If we didn't share the same interests, I probably would have been schemed against and left with nothing but bones.

No, even if their goals were aligned, Hua Yu was still outmaneuvered and killed by him.

"There are still a few days left. Use these few days to train these three," Lu Suo said, looking at Lou Hu. "So that they are at least enough to hold off the sorcerers from other regions."

Lou Hu didn't answer. He waited until Lu Suo and Zhen Ren were far away before closing the door. The dull thud of the iron door closing echoed in the corridor.

Only the four big guys know what will happen inside.

"Spiritual beasts can only be used like wild beasts. War requires people, people who can lead teams, assess situations, and adjust tactics themselves."

Lu Suo walked along the road and said to the real person next to him, "Those curse masters in the Panxing Sect who have good spells, call them over tomorrow. Use the Wuwei Transformation to forcibly enhance their curse power."

"They'll die very quickly from this kind of modification."

"It doesn't matter, as long as they can hold out until the end of the war," Lu Suo said indifferently, treating these curse masters as mere expendable resources.

"How do you plan to get them to agree?"

"Tell them it will elevate their spell power and magic to a higher level," Lu Suo chuckled. "No one can resist that temptation."

Back in the previous room, the master glanced at him and said, "The loyalty of the Panxing Sect members to you shouldn't require you to use this kind of temptation."

"The least trustworthy thing in this world is the relationship between people." Lu Suo walked to the window, outside of which was the courtyard of the Panxing Sect branch.

"Only with benefits and faith can one be trusted. High-level curse masters don't have the same deep faith as ordinary people, so benefits must be added for it to be effective."

The real man didn't speak again; he was pondering what Lu Suo had said.

"The first batch will be called tomorrow. After the modifications, they need to be able to lead teams independently." Lu Suo pulled his hand back from the window frame. "You can start with the lower-level ones and experiment slowly. If they die, they die. Curse masters aren't curse spirits; we won't feel sorry for them if they die."

The man didn't reply. He picked up the cup, took a sip of cold water, and then placed the empty cup on the table, making a slight sound as it hit the surface.

"I understand, I'll do as you say."
