The magnetic field rotation that began in Jujutsu Kaisen

When Jujutsu heard Shen's words, he was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "You've finally figured it out."

She adjusted her posture, placing her hands on the low table and leaning slightly forward.

"Now, please allow me to formally explain my research direction and ultimate goal."

Her voice became clear and rhythmic, each word pronounced precisely:

"Since becoming a top-tier sorcerer, and witnessing countless calamities caused by cursed spirits, the sacrifice of sorcerers, and the innocent deaths of ordinary people, I have come to a profound understanding of one thing—"

Ninety-nine Yogi raises one finger:

"Humans will continue to generate magical power."

"Negative emotions, stress, fear, hatred... these emotions are constantly growing, and every bit of negative emotion will be transformed into curse power and dissipate into the environment."

She held up her second finger:

"Cursed power will condense into cursed spirits."

"When the concentration of cursed power in a certain area reaches a critical point, or when a certain emotion is strong enough, a cursed spirit will be born."

"Level 4, Level 3, Level 2, Level 1, Special Level—the strength of a cursed spirit depends on the quality and quantity of its cursed power, but in essence, they are all born from negative human emotions."

The third finger is raised:

"Cursed spirits are the source of all evil in this world."

"They kill, create disasters, and spread fear. And fear breeds more cursed power, forming more cursed spirits—it's an unsolvable vicious cycle."

Tsukumo Yuki lowered her hand and glanced at the three people present:

"What are the sorcerers doing? Killing cursed spirits. Trying to fix things after the fact. Treating the symptoms but not the root cause."

"They work very hard and are very noble, fighting every day at the risk of their lives. Sorcerers suffer greatly in order to exorcise cursed spirits."

"But the problem is—as long as humans continue to experience negative emotions, the cursed spirits will never be eradicated."

"Kill one today, and two more will emerge tomorrow. Suppressed one top-tier enemy this month, but an even stronger one might appear next month."

"Just like the current high-level policy—coping therapy—it cannot fundamentally solve the scourge of cursed spirits!"

She paused, her voice lowering:

"I have seen villages destroyed by cursed spirits, I have seen entire families wiped out, and I have seen young sorcerers die before my eyes."

"Every time, I think: What if cursed spirits never existed? What if humans never developed cursed power in the first place?"

Ninety-Nine Yuki's eyes lit up, a light that bordered on obsession:

"Therefore, I must solve the problem at its root. Creating a world without curses is the only way!"

"After years of research, I believe there are currently two feasible solutions."

"The first solution: Eliminate the cursed power in humans."

When Jiujiu Yuki said this, his gaze fell undisguisedly on Shen Er and Dong Yangping.

The look in his eyes was as if he were looking at two precious experimental samples.

"Since curse power is the source of cursed spirits, then as long as humans stop generating curse power, or at least greatly reduce the generation of curse power, the number of cursed spirits will decrease sharply, and may even disappear completely."

She looked at Shen Er:

"Shen'er, your 'Heaven and Curse' has given me inspiration—you have no curse power at all, but your physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people. This shows that humans can survive without curse power, and even become stronger."

Shen Er snorted coldly: "Don't even think about it. Heavenly curses and bindings are not universal."

"Think about it, everyone becoming a cursed being? That's impossible. It's a 'binding' predetermined at birth, a forced exchange, not a technology that can be easily replicated."

"I know."

Yuki nodded: "But I think we can take a compromise—a weakened version of Heaven and Curse would also work!"

Her tone became excited:

"I don't need everyone to be as strong as you. As long as we can reduce the amount of cursed power generated by ordinary people to below the critical point, preventing them from forming cursed spirits, that will be enough."

"Furthermore, if I could understand the principles of Heaven and Curse, I might be able to develop a 'curse power suppression device' or a 'curse power absorption device' to install in cities and periodically cleanse the environment of curse power..."

"stop!"

Shen interrupted her, "You didn't mention any of this when you came to see me last time. What you said then was—"

Shen Er imitated Tsukumo Yuki's tone, exaggeratingly saying, "Shen Er-kun~ let me examine your body~ draw some blood, do some tests, it's very simple~"

Dong Yangping was laughing so hard he was practically rolling on the floor, and things were getting increasingly abstract.

Yuki Tsukumo blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for her: "That...that's a requirement for early-stage research..."

"Then I set my conditions."

Shen said coldly, "I said, research is fine, but give me the money. First, show me a billion yen to demonstrate your financial strength and prove you're not just talking nonsense."

He looked at Dong Yangping: "Do you know what that woman replied back then?"

Dong Yangping asked curiously, "How should I answer?"

She said—

Shen Er said, enunciating each word clearly, "Money is not a problem! Once I succeed in my research and save all of humanity, the money will naturally follow!"

The room fell silent for a moment.

Then Dongyang Ping couldn't help but laugh again.

Even Nanami Kento, who was in the corner, covered his mouth with his hand.

"So," Dong Yangping looked at Jiujiu Yuki, "you don't have any money?"

It's highly unlikely that a top-tier sorcerer would be short of money.

Yuki Tsukumo's expression instantly fell.

She slumped onto the tatami mat like a deflated balloon, muttering, "I'm poor...very poor..."

"It's all those short-sighted fools' fault!"

She looked up at Shen'er with a pitiful expression:

"I managed to save up a little money this time! Really! It's not much, but at least I can pay the deposit..."

"How much?" Shen asked.

"Three, three million yen..." Yuki Tsukumo's voice trailed off.

She even rolled her eyes.

Three million yen is a lot of money for an ordinary person, but for Shinji, who has just received two months' salary, it's not necessary.

Moreover, this amount of money isn't even a fraction of what he earns when taking orders on the black market.

Although he quit his life of crime because of Huihui, it shouldn't be this low.

Shen Er said to Dong Yangping, "You see, that's why I said she's unrealistic. Her ideals are lofty, but her wallet is skinny."

Dong Yangping burst out laughing.

I never expected that Shen Er, who is usually so serious, would say something like that.

Yuki Tsukumo retorted, "Money can be earned slowly! Besides, if the research makes progress, the higher-ups in the jutsu world will definitely invest! They can't wait to solve the problem of cursed spirits!"

"Then go and get them to invest," Shen said. "Don't bother me."

"They...tch, I don't get along with them," Yuki Tsukumo whispered.

The room fell silent again.

Looking at this only top-level sorcerer, Dong Yangping suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

He has ideals and abilities, but no money, and probably no supporters.

Should we try to recruit them?

"If the first plan doesn't work," Yuki Tsukumo suddenly sat up straight, her eyes brightening again, "I have a second plan!"

Her gaze shifted to Dong Yangping, her eyes burning with intensity that seemed to scorch him.

"The second option: make all humans sorcerers."

When Tsukumo Yuki said those words, Shen Er immediately closed his eyes and lay down, no longer listening.

Yuki Tsukumo: "How are cursed spirits born? They are born from 'uncontrollable' cursed power."

"Ordinary people can also generate magical power, but they cannot control it. They can only let it dissipate into the environment, accumulate, condense, and eventually form magical spirits."

"But sorcerers are different."

Ninety-nine Yuki clenched his fist:

"A sorcerer can control their magical power, transform it into spells, and actively use it."

"What if everyone became a sorcerer?"

Yuki Tsukumo's voice echoed in the room: "If every human being could control their magical power from birth, and transform negative emotions into controllable energy, then—"

"If this happens, the curse will not be born."

"The cursed spirit will disappear from this world."
