The magnetic field rotation that began in Jujutsu Kaisen

"Bang bang bang!"

Dongyang Pingpaimen increased the force of his blows even further.

"Yuki! Open the door! Something urgent!"

The window upstairs was flung open with a "whoosh," and Yuki Tsukumo poked half her head out, her golden hair disheveled, her face bearing an expression that said, "You better really have something important to tell me."

"Dongyangping! Look at the time!"

She pointed to the night sky, "One in the morning! You're knocking on my door at one in the morning?!"

"Something really big has happened." Dong Yangping looked up. "It's about cursed corpses. Self-reliant cursed corpses."

Tsukumo Yuki paused for a moment.

"What? Cursed remains?"

"Self-supporting cursed skeleton."

Dongyang Ping repeated: "The kind that has self-awareness and can generate its own magical power."

Yuki stared at him for three seconds, then slammed the window shut.

Dong Yangping thought she didn't want to talk to him anymore, but two seconds later, the door on the first floor opened.

Yuki Tsukumo was wearing a wrinkled nightgown, her hair was still messy, but her eyes were fully awake.

"Come in."

The laboratory of Jujiro Kyushu was filled with various instruments and materials.

Dong Yangping found an empty chair and sat down.

Yuki Tsukumo stood in front of him with her arms crossed, giving him the impression that she wasn't going anywhere until she explained herself.

"Speak, what do you mean by 'self-reliant cursed corpse'?"

Dong Yangping organized his thoughts.

"You know what a normal cursed corpse is, right? It needs a continuous supply of cursed power from its creator to move."

Yuki nodded. Of course she knew about this. Although she wasn't a professional, she still understood the basics.

"What if there were a type of cursed corpse that didn't need an external supply of cursed power, could generate its own, possess self-awareness, and even grow on its own?"

Ninety-nine Yorgos' pupils contracted slightly.

"...What did you say?"

Dong Yangping continued speaking.

"I roughly know the production method. Copy the information of the human body and soul, inject it into the cursed remains, and then insert three suitable soul cores. After about three months, self-awareness can be generated."

Ninety-nine Yuki fell silent, a long silence.

Then she spoke, her voice a little hoarse.

Do you know what this means?

"Know."

"If handled properly, this is the capital to dominate the world!"

Jiujiu Yuki took a deep breath.

"Where did you get this method from?"

"Never mind where I got it from."

Dong Yangping said, "I'm sure the idea is correct, but I don't know the specific method. Just tell me, is this thing worth studying?"

"Yes," Yuki Tsukumo said decisively. "Absolutely."

She paced back and forth in the room.

"Soul core... three-core structure... autonomous spell power circulation... this idea, this idea..."

She stopped abruptly.

"This requires an expert. I don't study cursed remains, so having ideas alone is useless. We need to find someone who truly understands how to make cursed remains."

Dongyang Ping nodded.

"Can you find it?"

Yuki Tsukumo thought for a moment.

"There is one; he's a top expert in this field. I just don't know if he'll be willing to help, but there's a high probability he will..."

Dong Yangping didn't intend to get involved in this matter either, and changed the subject, saying, "This isn't urgent, we'll talk about it later. There's something else going on now."

"What is it?"

"Help me kill someone."

Ninety-nine Yuki's movements stopped.

She looked at Dong Yangping, her expression becoming subtle.

"You woke me up in the middle of the night, first giving me a groundbreaking research idea, and then saying you wanted to kill someone?"

"Um."

"...Who is it?"

"We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Dong Yangping stood up: "You go to sleep first and get plenty of rest. I'll bring the intelligence over tomorrow at noon."

Tsukumo Yuki: "…………"

Dong Yangping walked to the door, then turned back: "By the way, I'll call Shen Er. Three people will be safer."

Yuki Tsukumo watched his retreating figure, lost in thought.

This man is acting very strangely tonight.

It wasn't that nervous, uneasy feeling; it was more like...excitement.

It's like a hunter finding his prey.

And how difficult was it for the three of them to kill another person?

……

Noon the next day.

In Shen'er's courtyard, three people sat around a low table.

Dong Yangping placed a stack of documents on the table.

"Take a look."

Shen Er picked up the top one.

Yuki Tsukumo also took a copy.

The room fell silent, save for the sound of turning pages.

A few minutes later.

She then raised her head.

"You mean... a dead person who's come back to life and is now pregnant. And you want us to kill her?"

"Um."

I've also finished watching Tsukumo Yuki.

She frowned.

"This woman... is suspicious. There are records of people coming back to life in the world of sorcery, but it's extremely rare. And look here—"

She pointed to a line of text on the document.

"She has a stitched scar on her forehead. That scar has been there from the time she died until she was resurrected."

Dongyang Ping nodded.

"That's no ordinary scar. It's the mark of a cursed spirit."

Shen Er and Jiujiu Yuki exchanged a glance.

Shen Er: "A cursed spirit? You mean, she's possessed by a cursed spirit?"

"To be precise, it's occupation."

Dong Yangping pointed to the document, "This woman named Itadori Kaori was originally dead. A cursed spirit possessed her body and 'resurrected' her."

Dongyang Ping paused, then added, "That cursed spirit is a brain-shaped thing. It has two abilities: first, it can possess the body of the deceased and acquire the deceased's spells; second, it can manipulate memories."

Ninety-nine Yuki gasped.

"To simultaneously obtain the deceased's spell formula? Wouldn't that mean...?"

"Yes." Dong Yangping nodded. "Just as you think."

Shen Er's brows furrowed.

"Where did you learn all this?"

"intelligence."

Without batting an eye, Higashihira continued his blatant lie: "I had someone investigate. Someone commissioned us... to screen everyone in Japan with suture scars on their foreheads. This Kaori Itadori is the most suspicious."

He turned to a page.

"Look at this. Itadori Yasuke, her father-in-law. From the beginning, he warned his son to stay away from her. He said, 'That woman is no ordinary person; you'll die if you're with her.'"

"This old man must have realized something was wrong too..."

Dongyang Ping gave a vague answer.

Another page was turned.

"Itadori Jin, her husband. He was originally just an ordinary office worker. But after marrying Kaori, his personality changed drastically. Now he has magical energy fluctuations—he has become a sorcerer."

Shen Er squinted.

"Brainwashed?"

"Very likely."

Dong Yangping said, "That cursed spirit can manipulate memories. It may have deleted something from Hu Zhangren's brain and inserted something else."

Looking at the documents, Tsukumo Yuki suddenly asked, "What about this woman's technique? Have you found it?"

Dongyang Ping turned to the last page.

"Kaori Itadori possessed a technique called the Anti-Gravity Mechanism, which could generate an anti-gravity field around her."

He paused.

"After that cursed spirit possessed her body, it should have also acquired this spell."

Tsukumo Yuki's expression changed.

"Anti-gravity? Then our attack..."

"It will be affected."

Dong Yangping said, "Flying objects will be bounced off, and getting close to her will cause weightlessness. Moreover—"

He emphasized his words.

"If she reverses the anti-gravity force through a technique, turning it into gravity, that would be even more troublesome. Any object entering the area would be directly pressed to the ground."

Shen Er remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he asked, "What are her weaknesses?"

Dongyang Ping shook his head.

"I don't know. But one thing is certain—she's inhabiting a human body. If we destroy that body, she'll have to find a new host."

He looked at the two of them.

"Therefore, our goal is not to kill this woman—our goal is to destroy the cursed spirit inside this body, which is the other brain inside this woman's head!"

Shen Er nodded.

Tsukumo Yuki also nodded.

"When will you make your move?"

"Don't rush. We need to be 100% certain. There can't be any unexpected events, otherwise..."

Dong Yangping stood up: "Intelligence indicates that she spends most of her time at home. Hu Zhangren is at work during the day, so she's alone at home."

He looked at Shen'er.

"You're in charge of covering the retreat. If anyone comes, stop them."

Look at the ninety-nine Yuki.

"You're in charge of keeping Hu Zhangren under control. If he suddenly returns or gets alerted, you handle him."

"And you?" asked Yuki Tsukumo.

Dong Yangping grinned: "I'll take care of blowing her head off."
