Jujutsu Kaisen: My spells have no limit

Chapter 20 Searching for Suspicion

"Eh? We meet again, Mr. Nanami Kento and Mr. Ijichi Kiyotaka."

Inside the police station, Lin Yi, who had just left Xia Youjie's place, arrived at the station. He hadn't forgotten the missing person request he had taken on under his other identity. Since he had stumbled upon it by chance, he had to complete the request no matter what, even if it meant a reduction in the reward.

But he hadn't expected Nanami Kento and Ijichi Kiyotaka to be here. Anyway, it was fine as long as Gojo Satoru wasn't there.

"Oh dear, what a coincidence, Mr. Nanami. This must be our third meeting. This is the younger sister that my client asked me to find. Well then, I'll take my leave now. Until we meet again."

Just as Lin Yi was about to take the little girl's hand to leave the police station, the timid girl broke free and looked at Lin Yi with fear on her face.

The moment the little girl showed fear, Nanami Kento, a sorcerer, also sensed something was wrong, and Lin Yi frowned as well.

Although he was in disguise and could not see the curse power and curse spirit with his naked eye, his intuition was sharp, and he could sense the curse power emanating from this girl who was at most seventeen years old.

This is not the kind of magical power that an ordinary person should have. Ordinary people, whose brain structures are different from those of sorcerers, would have their magical power dissipate automatically if they could not guide it, and they should not have such a powerful overflow of magical power that is comparable to that of a sorcerer.

"Who are you?" the little girl asked Lin Yi timidly.

Facing the gazes of Nanami Kento, Ijichi Kiyotaka, and the police, Lin Yi also took out his identification from his pocket and said again, "My name is Lin Yilang, I am a private detective and part-time City Hunter. Ms. Takagi, your sister asked me to come and find you."

"I don't have a sister."

The answer given by the little girl named Takagi surprised Lin Yi, and Nanami Kento, sensing something was wrong, walked over to Lin Yi.

"Mr. Hayashi Ichiro, my apologies, but I think we need to have a talk."

That evening, at the police station, Lin Yi recounted the entire process of how he received the commission.

A simple missing person request: the older sister asked Lin Yi to find her younger sister who had been missing for several days. However, Qi Haijianren, who had just gone through an exorcism operation and had his plans disrupted by Lin Yi, noticed something was wrong.

Of course, Lin Yi noticed it too.

A cult from Central America, in collusion with a large local corporation, targeted runaway teenagers on the streets of Tokyo, conducting experiments on them to stabilize negative human emotions and generate cursed spirits.

Lin Yi wasn't sure if the experiment was successful, but this girl named Takagi was clearly acting strangely. Her current state gave Lin Yi the feeling that she was an ordinary person who was transforming into a sorcerer.

However, one of the underlying logics of Jujutsu Kaisen is that jujutsu masters are born with innate talent, and the level a jujutsu master can reach is also innate.

Not all sorcerers are capable of fighting against cursed spirits. Those who serve the official Japanese sorcery community and act as assistant supervisors to combat-capable sorcerers like Nanami Kento are also considered sorcerers, just like Ijichi Kiyotaka, who is sitting in front of Lin Yi taking notes.

They can guide and control their own curse power, observe the existence of cursed spirits with the naked eye, and set up barrier spells called "tents," but that's all they can do, because their innate curse power is insufficient to support them in a direct confrontation with cursed spirits.

Such sorcerers make up the majority of the sorcerer community in Japan, so there is a perennial shortage of sorcerers. Sorcerers basically work year-round without rest. Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer in modern times, travels all over the world and only sleeps about three or four hours a day.

So the question is, what kind of experiment could turn an ordinary girl into a sorcerer under certain conditions?

Having a good grasp of the general plot of Jujutsu Kaisen, Lin Yi quickly locked onto his target: a humanoid Super-Grade Jujutsu Spirit named Zhenren, born from human malice, whose technique is called Wuwei Transformation.

They can alter the brain structure of ordinary people by touching their souls, turning them into sorcerers.

This is the second underlying logic of the Jujutsu Kaisen world: the soul is greater than the body. Only aberrant beings like Ten and Tyrant, who completely abandon their cursed power, have their bodies supersede their souls.

But Lin Yi dismissed the idea as soon as it popped into his head.

The timing doesn't match. This humanoid calamity curse spirit was born very late. Although the exact birth time is uncertain, it's definitely not now; it's too early.

Who would that be?

"Mr. Hayashi Ichiro, Mr. Hayashi Ichiro, are you listening?"

Lin Yi's thoughts were interrupted by Nanami Kento. Looking at the interrogative look Nanami Kento gave him, Lin Yi honestly said, "Oh, I was wondering if I've gotten involved in something I shouldn't be involved in, Mr. Nanami."

"Yes, Mr. Hayashi Ichiro, so I hope you can cooperate with us."

"you?"

"Yes, due to work reasons, we cannot tell you the specific details, but we hope you can provide us with the contact information and appearance of the person who made the request."

"Okay, okay, no problem. Here's the contact information. As for the client, well, she has a great figure and a beautiful face; she's my type."

Founder of Nanami:···

After spending half an hour at the police station, Lin Yi finally returned to his residence in Ome Street, Shinjuku Ward.

The door closed and the lights were turned on.

Lin Yi threw himself onto the sofa and began to recall what had happened that night.

First, there are the two forms of his own technique, Polar Reversal. He has roughly figured out the Sorcerer form, which is basically a mage form. As long as he has enough spell power, it is a complete replica of Unlimited Blade Works.

Moreover, it doesn't have as many restrictions as traditional spellcasters. It doesn't require a lot of fancy spellcasting operations. It can materialize swords, inject spell power into them, and throw them out as missiles.

From this perspective, my sorcerer form is capable of meeting the criteria for a top-tier sorcerer, since one of the criteria for a top-tier sorcerer is whether one possesses the destructive power to overthrow a country.

The only problem is whether one's own magical power can support the consumption of such an infinite sword technique.

This is what I need to consider in my Heaven and Tyrant Kamen Rider form. In this form, I can absorb 0.1% of the opponent's total attributes to replenish myself when I kill a cursed spirit or sorcerer.

In other words, as long as he kills enough cursed spirits, he doesn't need to worry about his cursed power running out. His technique mechanism is the same as Xia Youjie's cursed spirit manipulation technique, with unlimited potential for growth in the later stages. He just doesn't know if destroying cursed tools can achieve this effect.

If destroying cursed artifacts is also an option, then he'll have to pull some strings.

So now Lin Yi is left with two problems.

First, what effect will this feedback of 0.1% of the target's total attributes upon killing them have on the disguised form of my passive skill? Will it prevent me from continuing to maintain my disguise as an ordinary person?

Secondly, Xia Youjie asked him to steal the commission of a top-level cursed spirit from the exorcism operation of the sorcery experts.

What happened at the police station gave Lin Yi some clues. After eliminating the option of the Humanoid Calamity Special Grade Cursed Spirit, there was only one answer left for Lin Yi.

Lu Suo, a sorcerer who has lived for a thousand years!

"Death Returns? Lu Suo, you ancient monster, you started your scheme so early. You didn't set your sights on me, did you?"

The thought of Lu Suo, the divine sorcerer who had been plotting for a thousand years, made Lin Yi feel that his current situation was precarious.
