At the Akasaka State Guest House, Lin Yi and Xia Youjie sat facing each other.

He didn't believe that Xia Youjie, with his many years of experience as a top-level sorcerer, couldn't see the potential that Yi Gu You Tai had shown in his battle with him.

Xia Youjie might have a slight edge over Yi Gu Youtai in the early stages due to his experience, but Yi Gu Youtai has maxed out his level and everything else, so it's just a matter of leveling up his skills.

Egoku Yuta's talent allows him to quickly learn every skill a top-tier sorcerer should possess.

As a high-level technique for using magical power, the Reversal Technique is learned by the opponent after fighting with them.

After mastering the reversal technique, Yi Gu You Tai used the positive energy of transformation to drive the reversal of his technique. With Gojo Satoru as his teacher, it should only take about half a year.

All that's left is the Domain Expansion and the Ultimate Technique.

Even if we remove the domain expansion, it's still a battle between Yi Gu You Tai Ruo, who has mastered the first two techniques, and Xia You Jie, who has only mastered the ultimate technique, the Extreme Ban, over the years.

Even if Xia Youjie adds all six thousand cursed spirits he has collected, he may not be able to defeat Yi Gu You Tai.

More importantly, he didn't believe that Xia Youjie, after watching his battle with Yigu Youtai, still couldn't understand the relationship between Yigu Youtai and Zhouling Lixiang.

Otsuku Yuta and Jurei Rika are mutually reinforcing, but Otsuku Yuta is dominant.

This also means that as long as Yuta Ekiku is certain that it was his curse on Rika that caused Rika to become a cursed spirit, he will voluntarily lift the curse on the cursed spirit Rika.

Even if Xia Youjie killed Yigu Youtai, the spirit Rika he obtained using the Spirit Manipulation Technique would only be an empty shell, without any so-called infinite magical power, because the provider of infinite magical power was Yigu Youtai.

Even so, Xia Youjie's answer was that he wanted to subdue the cursed spirit Li Xiang to complete his great cause.

"If that's the case, your death will be meaningless, Xia Youjie."

"That's still better than living in this world full of monkeys, right? Ichi-chan, you care about me that much?"

"It's not out of concern, Xia Youjie. You will have to pay the price with your life for what you have done and the people you have killed. It's just that your meaningless death will bring a lot of trouble, which is why I want you to give up the idea of ​​specializing in sorcery and targeting Yi Gu You Tai."

This way, you'll feel more relaxed, and I'll feel more relaxed too.

"Looks like I was right, Ichi-chan and Satoru get along really well. Maybe Ichi-chan can become good friends with Satoru."

"So the negotiations broke down, right?"

"It seems so, Ichi-chan. Perhaps you're right. My death is meaningless, but living in a world that has never made me genuinely smile, it's better to just die like this."

Upon hearing this, Lin got up to leave, but was stopped by Xia Youjie.

"Ichi-chan, have you forgotten the 'bond' between us?"

"The condition for the 'binding' is that I will collect some cursed spirits that interest you. If necessary, I can help you cause some trouble for the high school of cursed arts, but I will refuse to cause bloodshed. What you need to do next is to have a teenager do it, which is not included in the content of our 'binding'."

Lin Yi repeated the "bond" he had previously made with Xia Youjie, opened the door, and saw Xia Youjie's two adopted daughters eavesdropping at the door.

Upon seeing Lin Yi come out, the two girls stood to the side, not daring to look at him.

"You should think about your two daughters at least a little, Xia Youjie."

After saying his last sentence, Lin Yi left, leaving Xia Youjie sitting there forlornly.

Xia Youjie looked at his two adopted daughters who walked in timidly, and then revealed a gentle smile.

"It's okay, Nanako, Mimiko, I just had a fight with Ichi-chan."

-----------------

Lin Yi rode his motorcycle aimlessly through the streets, feeling terrible after his unpleasant conversation with Xia Youjie.

Whether it was today's battle with Yuta Eto, the arrangement for Natsumi Yuuki and Gojo Satoru's meeting, or this conversation, Lin Yi did it all with a purpose.

If this battle with Otsuyuta can make Xia Youjie realize that even if he kills Otsuyuta and steals the cursed spirit Rika, it will be of no use to his great cause, then Xia Youjie's death can be delayed.

Even if the thousand-year-old sorcerer Rōsō couldn't stand it and came to kill him, Natsuyuki's abilities would allow him to hold out until Rōsō informed Gojō Sō. In that case, even if Rōsō successfully possessed Natsuyuki's body, Gojō Sō might not have been sealed away if he had been given a heads-up, and the Shibuya Incident and the Death Return would not have happened.

Ryosaku was killed by Gojo Satoru. As for whether Itadori Yuujin would swallow the finger that sealed Sukuna's soul under Ryosaku's arrangement, it didn't matter.

Without Lu Suo's scheming in the shadows, Su Nuo Guan could not be resurrected even when Itadori Hisahito died of old age.

It's not that Lin Yi is particularly great or has an overflowing saintly heart; it's simply that the underlying logic of the Jujutsu Kaisen world is too abstract.

In the underlying logic of the Cursed Return world, Cursed Spirits are things born from the overflowing curse power and negative energy of most ordinary people in this world, but the cycle of the birth of Cursed Spirits is within a roughly controllable range.

As long as most ordinary people are unaware of the existence of cursed spirits, the number of cursed spirits born will be small, and the birth cycle will be longer. In particular, special-grade cursed spirits, which are of the level of natural disasters, may only be born once every few hundred years.

Therefore, in Japan, or in other countries or regions, the exorcism of cursed spirits by sorcerers is essentially the same as the Holy Grail War in the Fate series – it is carried out in secret.

If the commotion gets too big, just use the excuse of a gas explosion to cover it up.

Moreover, in the storyline of sorcery, sorcerers and spirits have been fighting in Japan for thousands of years. There are only 17 special-grade imaginary spirits recorded in the Japanese sorcery world. Among the four special-grade spirits of the four calamities level, only four have been born in all these years, two of which are relatively new.

However, if the Death Return event is activated, and the Japanese sorcery community and the government are forced to publicly acknowledge the existence of cursed spirits to the world, making the majority of ordinary people in the world aware that their negative emotions can give rise to cursed spirits, that would be a different story.

At first, you might not see any clues, after all, Japan is still a vortex of curse power.

But the world's population is what it is; there are several countries with a larger population than Japan.

In terms of negative energy, they're not much less powerful than Japan, a country with high-pressure systems. Who knows what kind of cursed spirit might emerge from these populous nations?

The level of the Four Calamities is manageable. As long as you master the Reversal Technique, the Technique Reversal, the Extreme Reversal, the Domain Expansion, and combine it with your passive Devouring to absorb all attributes, you'll have no trouble getting through it.

But what if the special-grade cursed spirit that appears is even more outrageous than the Four Calamities? If you get a special-grade cursed spirit of the Five Constellations level, wouldn't that be just awful?

"Damn it, in the end we still have to kill Lu Suo to solve all the problems. But how do we find him?"

Lin Yi suddenly stopped and leaned against the roadside, beginning to think about how to find and kill Lu Suo, the thousand-year-old sorcerer who had been hiding in the shadows and plotting all of this.
