However, neither the native humans nor professionals in the field of sorcery and medicine know the reason.

Then there is only one possibility: a completely new type of cursed spirit, which brings a completely new spell.

This means that the principles behind the spell are completely unknown. Unless the spirit that cast the spell is caught, no one knows what the conditions are for the spell, or how to avoid or resist it.

This is really bad news.

“Miss Fox is right, this kind of technique is unheard of.”

Ms. Shoko Ieiri on the other end of the phone seemed completely listless; her voice was weak and listless, as if she might fall asleep at any moment.

"So, what's the reason they possess cursed powers?" Nanami Kento asked, continuing the conversation.

After Miss Fox administered an HP potion to these two people and their condition stabilized, they were undoubtedly just two ordinary people who couldn't see the cursed spirits.

But it wasn't like that when they first appeared. They were filled with cursed power, and with their alien appearance, they were practically indistinguishable from cursed spirits. Even the experienced sorcerer Nanami Kento couldn't recognize that these two were originally human.

"Can we find any connection between modifying the body and giving ordinary people magical power?"

"The three people who died in the movie theater died immediately after being modified."

Shoko Ieiri suddenly mentioned the reason that prompted the three of them to investigate: the three twisted corpses that suddenly died in the movie theater.

Looking back now, it's clear that it was the work of the same cursed spirit.

"The body's transformation does not cause the internal organs to readjust to the new shape. The bones only change in density and size. Even if a tail grows, there will be no coccyx inside."

"If an ordinary person suddenly gains magical power, it is very likely related to a certain organ in the human body."

"And this organ... is the brain."

The answer was as expected.

When the two alien humans first appeared, they had no clear reason and only attacked people who came to the roof of the movie theater, like NPCs that had been programmed.

The HP potion is used to repair injuries. The alien's body grew into that shape on its own, so it doesn't count as an injury. However, after Miss Fox gave the two people the HP potion, it took effect. Their sanity was restored, and at the same time, the overflowing magical power in their bodies disappeared at that moment.

It was obvious that some of the body's passive limbs were healed by the HP potion and returned to their original state, causing the curse power to disappear.

If it's related to reason, then this organ is easy to guess—it's definitely the brain.

"The relationship between the brain and magical power is still shrouded in mystery. This discovery, however, once again confirms that the birth of a sorcerer is related to the extraordinary nature of their brain."

"But what exactly is the difference? That cursed spirit probably understands it better than we humans do." "The one who understands humanity best is actually humanity's enemy."

"By the way, is Itajang still listening?"

After a long silence, Itadori Yuujin paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes, I'm listening."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone after hearing the answer.

Then the sound of footsteps leaving could be heard, and only after the sobbing of the two people ceased could Ieiri Shoko's voice resume:

"Their outcome, simply put, is that as long as they capture the cursed spirit or extract the principles of the spell from it, there should still be hope for recovery."

Although it was a glimmer of hope, it was also a message that those two people couldn't hear.

New cursed spirits, new spells, everything is full of unknowns. Even the news that Ieiri Shoko is telling us now is not to be doubted; it was specifically told to Itadori Yuujin.

"As long as we catch that cursed spirit!" Yuujin Itadori clenched his fists, but his expression wasn't as intense as expected.

It seems that Ieiri Glass made a mistake; Hisahito Itadori wasn't confused at all.

"That's a great realization. That's how you should do it, so you can save more people you want to save, young man." Miss Fox smiled and patted Yuuji Itadori on the shoulder.

"Oh my!" Yuujin Itadori responded energetically.

Miss Fox suddenly paused for a moment.

I felt a slight prick on the palm of Itadori Yuujin's hand as I touched him, and the aura of cursed power flashed by—it was Itadori Yuujin's.

Miss Fox narrowed her eyes and silently accepted the provocation.

"What's wrong, Miss Fox?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt like introducing you to one of my friends."

"Oh, Miss Fox's friend... what kind of person is she?"

"A home security guard who has stayed at home for decades and never went out also likes to soak himself in a jar and spy on others through a camera while hanging upside down."

"Isn't that terrible!?" Hisahito Itadori exclaimed in surprise. "Won't Miss Fox's friend be difficult to get along with?"

"No, no, if He knew about Hoopus, He would welcome you. Don't worry."

Miss Fox smiled.

Moreover, it's not just about welcoming Itadori; they're also interested in the Ryoumen Sukuna within Itadori's body. How could they not like a special life form from another world that's delivered right to their doorstep?

There's a saying that goes something like this: in the DC universe, having a good relationship with Superman is a kind of superpower, isn't it?

So the reason why Miss Fox and Ya Niang have a good relationship is the same.

After being apart for about a week, it's only natural that Miss Fox would miss Ya Niang and want to bring her new friends over for a visit.

"Let's decide on this. Once this matter is settled, You'll come with me to visit my friend."

Miss Fox stood up, her emerald green eyes brightening slightly as she looked past Yuujin Itadori and landed on Sukuna Ryoumen.

She raised an eyebrow, a response to the two Sukuna's provocation.

"Now, the halftime break is over. That cursed spirit knew how to use the remnants to guide us there, so it's obviously not a simple guy. We'd better be on our guard from now on, Itadori-kun."

"Ouch!"

“Well then.” The voice of Ms. Ieiri Shoko, slightly amused, came through the phone before it was even hung up, “I will take good care of those two people until you obtain the principles of that technique.”

"Please, Miss Ieiri!" Hisahito Itadori immediately bowed.

Chapter 517 The Humanoid Cursed Spirit in the Sewers

The sewers really stink.

These are Miss Fox's thoughts while in the sewers. She deliberately left behind filth to lure the sorcerer who was tracking her here. It's disgusting that she chose such a place as the location.

"Can't these two people be saved?"

The blunt knife wrapped in patterned cloth was dripping with a liquid that couldn't be red. Nanami Kento looked at the alien whose limbs he had severed and asked.

Once you drink the HP potion, as long as you still have some health left, any injury can be healed, provided that you still have some health.

The two aliens released by the cursed spirit appear to be still alive...

“They had already died from shock. The only thing keeping them moving was their magical power keeping them alive. The medicine was no longer effective, and... these two bodies seemed to be stored away for reuse.”

Although Miss Fox lacks professional knowledge and skills, she can still make a simple judgment about the cause of death using spiritual scanning.

Moreover, the moment these two aliens appeared, Miss Fox could see their souls dissipating rapidly, far too fast for them to catch up.

"Is that so?" Nanami Kento nodded, his gaze falling further into the sewers.

"They should be coming out soon enough. They deliberately left behind filth to lure us here."

Miss Fox also stood up and stood next to Nanami Kento.

New cursed spirits, new spells, and the unknown are always the most troublesome things.

"These are the addresses of people who have recently gone missing."

"It seems like they're all concentrated in one area, Ms. Nanami."

"I am not a faculty member, so you don't need to call me teacher."

"So, do we need to investigate all these locations?"

"No need, we can handle these places. You have other tasks, Itadori."

So both Nanami Kenji and Miss Fox coincidentally sent Itadori Yuujin away and went directly to find the Cursed Spirit.

The process unfolded exactly as expected. The cursed spirit deliberately left behind remnants along the way, quickly leading them into the city's sewers, where it then released two alien creatures to attack them.

Now it's not just filth, but the very source of filth is here, watching them.

"Oh, that's great, that's great. If it were Gojo Satoru, I would be very troubled, but if he comes too weak, I won't be able to do the experiment."

The figure is that of a young man around twenty years old, with his body and face covered in stitches.

Medium-length blue hair, with heterochromatic gray-blue eyes.

A black shirt with a grid pattern paired with jeans.

"Humans?"

"No, it's a cursed spirit, a cursed spirit that looks like a human."

It is a cursed spirit, its appearance is no different from that of a human, and it also wears clothes.

Gojo Satoru explained to Miss Fox that the birth of a cursed spirit is formed by the concentration of overflowing cursed power from humans.

The most concentrated source of magical power is undoubtedly fear.

Fear of the earth, fear of the forest, fear of the ocean, fear of the sky, darkness, and even fear of people.

Then.

"The fear between people, the creation of cursed spirits?"

“Bingou! You guessed right~” the humanoid cursed spirit replied happily.

It seemed to regard both Nanami Kenji and Miss Fox as prey that it could easily obtain.

Nanami Kento stretched his neck and glanced at the time.

"We'll talk about the rest later. I hate working overtime."

Swinging his blunt sword, Nanami Kento was the first to charge forward, and the humanoid cursed spirit also channeled its cursed power to meet Nanami Kento's attack.

Thump, thump, thump.

It was clearly a blunt knife and flesh, yet they made this dull sound when they collided.

Nanami Kento's blunt blade relentlessly pursued the humanoid cursed spirit, relentlessly pursuing it. Each time it missed, he would swiftly strike again; if blocked, he would quickly adjust his stance and attack once more, using his feet and blade in a crisscrossing attack, creating an atmosphere of intense pressure as if he were racing against time. Even so, the humanoid cursed spirit handled the situation with remarkable ease.

He blocked one strike, dodged another, and occasionally raised his fist to launch a pointless attack, as if playing a game, teasing his opponent with his superb dodging awareness and counter-attack skills.

Miss Fox watched from the sidelines, showing no intention of joining the attack.
