My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Clang—!

Xia Youjie stood up abruptly, his expression one of horror, knocking the cup off the table.

In that instant, a chilling sensation emanated from Xia Youjie's brain and spread throughout his entire body.

He felt as if he were in an ice cave, a chilling sensation as if his entire being could be seen through. Gone was his previous nonchalance and ease; instead, his body was filled with murderous intent as he asked Hui, word by word, "Why... how did you know about this?"

Chapter 477 Conspiracy

Xia Youjie, to be precise, is called Li Suo.

He possesses the ability to transplant brains and exchange bodies, and has survived for thousands of years using this technique. He is also the true form of the "most evil sorcerer in history".

This is why Hui calls him "Insect," because his true form is a brain with teeth, which looks just like a wriggling worm.

When he was operating under the identity of "Kamori Kamo", he encountered a woman with special physical abilities.

This woman was able to conceive a child of a cursed spirit, a feat achieved through the mysterious power of magic.

These nine fetuses evolved into cursed objects, with the first to third becoming top-grade cursed objects, which are known to later generations as the Nine Phases of Cursed Fetuses.

The text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly from different sources. A direct translation isn't meaningful without further context or clarification.

This world is abnormal. Every human being possesses magical power, but only a small fraction of them are qualified to become sorcerers.

Most humans cannot become sorcerers, but the magical power they emit can form magical spirits.

Then the sorcerers and the spirits have been fighting each other since ancient times.

Because he believes the world is deformed, humanity is deformed and incomplete, and needs to evolve, to evolve until everyone becomes a sorcerer, or... everyone becomes a cursed spirit...

The text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly from different sources, and doesn't form coherent sentences. It's impossible to translate meaningfully without understanding the intended meaning.

Therefore, even Gojo Satoru's six eyes could not see his true form.

But now, his true form has been seen through at a glance by this mere cursed spirit?!

How could this not surprise him?

Seeing the surging magical power emanating from Xia Youjie, before Hui could even speak, Louhu, Huayu, and Tuogen had already stood up, watching Xia Youjie warily. They would swarm him at the slightest movement.

In their eyes, Hui was a cursed spirit, their companion, while Xia Youjie was just a sorcerer, an outsider even if he was a partner.

Hui ignored all of this. Whether it was Xia Youjie or the Star Spirits of this planet, they were all ants in her eyes, which she could wipe out with a single finger.

Although similar in nature to a Protoss, it exists entirely based on magical power. This incongruous appearance suggests that a sorcerer merged his soul into a planet, but his soul was too weak to reach the strength to become a Protoss. It's like stuffing the consciousness of an ant into the body of an elephant—incongruous and completely on the wrong evolutionary path.

Xia Youjie now realizes that he has fallen into habitual thinking and made a huge cognitive error.

That is, he never knew the true strength of the cursed spirit called "Hui" in front of him.

Because he couldn't sense any magical power or even her aura, he didn't imagine Hui to be that powerful.

Newly born cursed spirits are inherently weak, with zero development of their own spells and zero depth of understanding of cursed power. This is the stage when cursed spirits are best exorcised.

He quickly calmed down; after all, he was an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, and he sat back down in his seat.

"Everyone, calm down. We are still allies and there is no need for us to confront each other."

"Hey, before you talk about cooperation, shouldn't you explain what just happened?" Louhu's eyes darkened.

"Since that's the case, then... alright, I'll show you."

As Xia Youjie spoke, he turned around and looked around. Finding an angle where no one was paying attention, he reached out and pulled open the suture on his forehead, then peeled open a hole in his skull to reveal a brain-shaped monster with a mouth inside.

"Mommy~, disgusting! Disgusting!" Little Hui was overwhelmed by the nausea and vomiting, and cried out in pain as her mother struggled to speak.

"Be polite, and don't tell the truth in front of others," Hui Dundun instructed.

Hui recently consulted many children's education manuals and decided to raise Xiao Xiao Hui to be a well-behaved child who is moral, polite, respectful to her mother, and does not cause her any trouble.

Xia Youjie quickly covered his head: "This is my true form, a self-protection technique of a curse master."

"Why did you conceal this information before?" Louhu asked.

"I am a curse master, how can I easily reveal my trump card? Besides, what my true form looks like doesn't affect our cooperation, does it?" Xia Youjie's expression was very sincere. He paused, then looked at Hui.

"However, what I'm more curious about is Miss Huizi, how did you see through me?"

He seemed to be asking casually, but in fact he had already pricked up his ears and was listening intently to Hui's answer.

Hui remained unsmiling, her tone cold and flat: "What I saw with my own eyes."

"Oh." Xia Youjie narrowed his eyes, deliberately glancing at Hui's deep black pupils, wondering: Are these eyes like Six-Eyed's, possessing some special ability...?

“Alright, let’s continue discussing the cooperation,” Xia Youjie said.

"Where were we? Oh, Gojo Satoru, even if we joined forces we couldn't kill him?" Louhu looked at Xia Youjie with a questioning gaze.

Xia Youjie smiled and said, "You can try to escape, but you might all be wiped out. I suggest you think more about how to seal him away, rather than killing him."

"Seal it? Is there any way to do that?"

"Yes. Using a top-grade cursed artifact, Prison Gate."

"Prison Gate Frontier, Frontier?!" Upon hearing these three words, Louhu stood up excitedly, flames erupting from the volcano above his head, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

Not far away.

At the entrance to the kitchen of this restaurant.

The store manager, looking displeased, said to an ordinary-looking employee, "Table number 5 hasn't placed any orders yet. Go and check on them. One person is taking up such a big table, really."

"I'm sorry, manager, I resign." After saying that, the employee turned around and ran out of the store without looking back, not even asking for his wages.

The store manager stood behind, dumbfounded: "Huh!? Hey! Wait a minute! Why are you running?"

The man had no intention of explaining; he had been able to vaguely see some dirty things since he was a child.

Just now, he saw something far more filthy than ever before, a thousand times more so than he had ever seen before, a twisted, black mass, next to the man in the robe.

If you tell people about this, they won't believe you; they'll just think you're crazy. That's something he's learned over the past twenty years.

Therefore, he fled for his life.

On the table.

"Do you have that forbidden item?" Louhu asked, his voice trembling with agitation.

He had been lurking in human society for many years and knew a great deal about the world of sorcery, so he naturally knew the power of the sealing artifact, [Prison Gate].

As the water clock throbbed with excitement, its miniature volcano head spewed out scorching flames, instantly raising the temperature of the air-conditioned room by more than ten degrees.

"Water clock, don't get excited, it's getting hot," Xiahou Jie reassured him.

"Hello, sir, have you decided what you'd like to order...?" the shop manager asked Xiahou Jie as he approached.

The manager was a little surprised that it had gotten hot, but the more important thing now was to get this table of customers to order or leave, so they wouldn't take up such a large space.

Hui and Xiao Xiao Hui have a very low profile. If Hui doesn't take the initiative to talk to them, the store manager won't even notice them.

Seeing the human who had disturbed his good time, Louhu put two fingers together and used a spell.

Boom—!

The store manager's body began to burn; his clothes, skin, body fat... all burst into flames. His brain was instantly destroyed, and he couldn't even scream. All the moisture in his body evaporated, turning into visibly charcoal-black matter, and a pungent odor filled the room.

The smell wasn't like roasted meat; it was more like the smell of wood burning into charcoal, indicating that it had burned very thoroughly.

The store manager's body had his limbs bent and his body length shortened, very similar to a boxer's defensive stance in a match.

This is because human muscles coagulate and contract when exposed to high heat. Since flexor muscles are more developed than extensor muscles, flexor muscle contraction is stronger than extensor muscle contraction, resulting in a physical phenomenon.

A waitress next to me noticed that it had suddenly gotten warm. She belatedly turned her head to look, and then...

"what--!!"

She screamed in fright at what she saw, and the plate in her hand fell to the ground.

Her voice attracted the attention of everyone in the store, and they all looked over.

then……

Boom, boom, boom...!!

A series of explosions rang out, and everyone inside the store spontaneously combusted, causing the temperature inside to rise rapidly and filling the store with smoke.

"Cough cough, thank goodness we didn't choose a high-end store." Xia Youjie choked and sneezed.

Amidst the raging flames, the water clock asked, "Xia You, how many of Su Nuo's fingers am I equivalent to?"

"To put it bluntly, eight or nine."

"That's enough. Give me the prison gate; I want to keep it. In exchange, I'll kill Gojo Satoru."

Upon hearing this, Xia Youjie looked at the arrogant and ignorant cursed spirit with pity and said, "Alright, why don't you try it tonight? I'll find out where Gojo Satoru is. You do the work. If you succeed, the Prison Gate will be yours."

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

“We can now form a pact.”

"Okay, it's a deal."

The two sides hit it off.

Beside her, Xiao Xiao Hui held Hui's hand and asked, "Mommy, why isn't this big sister moving?"

"Because she is dead."

What is death?

"Death is the end point of life, the final destination of life."

"Then, how can I avoid dying?"

"It depends on your perspective."

"Oh." Xiao Xiaohui understood and nodded. The reason this older sister died was because she remembered that as long as she didn't want to die, she wouldn't die. So that's how it is.

Xia Youjie watched from the side, thinking to himself: This cursed spirit must be out of his mind!

What does it mean that "life and death depend on your thoughts"?

Is this something that can be decided by will?

Do they really think they're gods?
