Seeing Gojo Satoru staring straight at him, Fushiguro Megumi frowned slightly:
"Um?
"What do you mean? Wasn't that matter already dealt with?"
"There is someone handling it, but it's strange precisely because someone is handling it."
"What's so strange about it? Judging from the mess at the scene, it's at most a level 4 cursed spirit, which any sorcerer could handle."
"Level 4?"
Gojo Satoru looked at him with a half-smile. "A single cursed spirit is level 4, but according to 'Window's' post-incident investigation, there are a total of 10 different kinds of remnants nearby. And eight of these remnants are distributed in eight different locations. Do you remember what I taught you?"
Fushiguro's expression suddenly changed:
"An eight-pointed star?"
Gojo Satoru nodded slightly:
"That's right, those eight cursed spirits formed an eight-pointed star on the map. And the remaining two kinds of remnants are in the center of this huge eight-pointed star. And it can be confirmed that one of those two kinds of remnants belongs to the special-grade cursed spirit 'Slit-Mouthed Woman'."
Generally speaking, remnants can only be used for tracking, not for determining the identity of the cursed spirit that left them, but special cursed spirits like the Slit-Mouthed Woman are exceptions.
Having seen it so many times, I've gained experience and can identify its identity through similar grime.
Fukuhei asked in a deep voice:
"So, those nine cursed spirits are just nodes in the eight-pointed star array, their existence merely serving as sacrifices to cultivate the Slit-Mouthed Woman?"
"Do not."
Gojo Satoru shook his head, his smile gradually fading. "A complete eight-pointed star array only requires nine cursed spirits. Moreover, judging from the traces at the scene, that eight-pointed star array was not successfully activated."
"So it's certain that the 'Slit-Mouthed Woman' wasn't part of the ritual, but was sent to prevent it from being disrupted."
"But even an urban legend like the 'Slit-Mouthed Woman' wouldn't regenerate this quickly. I killed it in Tokyo last year, and in less than a year, even if it grows faster, it would only be at most a level 1 cursed spirit."
"Judging from the remains at the scene, it has indeed been reclassified as a Class A crime. This means..."
Fushiguro Megumi's face darkened:
"Someone is using an eight-pointed star to mass-produce top-tier cursed spirits!"
Satoru Gojo made a bingo sign with both hands, pointing at Megumi Fushiguro, and gave her an approving smile:
"Bingo! Too bad there was no prize."
Fukuro Megumi's expression was extremely grim. Any special-grade cursed spirit was very difficult to deal with, and only a special-grade cursed sorcerer could reliably exorcise it. Among first-grade cursed sorcerers, only a few possessed the ability to exorcise special-grade cursed spirits.
Since the opponent is cultivating a top-tier cursed spirit but hasn't deliberately released it, it means they're definitely preparing a major attack. It probably won't be long before they recreate or even surpass the 'spectacle' of last year's Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!
"There's no need to worry so much."
Compared to the worried Fushiguro Megumi, Gojo Satoru waved his hand casually, "The ritual of the eight-pointed star array requires a corresponding cursed object to activate, which is essentially a losing proposition. Even if someone did do it, there aren't that many top-grade cursed objects in this world for him to use."
"Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, I'm still here, aren't I?"
"That's true."
Fu Heihui's expression softened slightly.
Indeed, although his personality is unreliable, his abilities are beyond doubt.
With five teachers around, even a large number of top-tier cursed spirits can be handled.
The only problem is that if those top-tier cursed spirits are scattered throughout Japan, even if Gojo Satoru can handle them, before he can, those top-tier cursed spirits will likely cause a large number of civilian casualties and cursed sorcerers to suffer.
Fushiguro suddenly remembered something else, and his brows furrowed:
"Since it's a top-tier cursed spirit, who handled this case?"
"Blind student, you've discovered the key point!"
Gojo Satoru patted his shoulder with satisfaction and explained under Fushiguro Megumi's disgusted gaze, "First of all, the Slit-Mouthed Woman is different from ordinary Special-grade spirits. Its simple domain is not something a Level 1 sorcerer can easily deal with, and it will definitely leave behind a lot of battle marks. Only a Special-grade sorcerer can instantly kill a Special-grade spirit."
"And in Tokyo, besides me, the only other top-tier sorcerer is that 'Phantom Princess'."
"The Phantom Princess?"
Upon hearing this title, Fushiguro Megumi immediately pictured the black-haired girl who was as aloof as an iceberg snow lotus.
He had met the other person once during the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons last year.
Fushiguro asked in confusion:
"Isn't it a good thing that she's willing to help?"
Gojo Satoru's face lit up with a pleased smile:
"That's the problem. Remember the first thing I said?"
Fushiguro Megumi looked puzzled:
"The Twilight God of Shuchiin Academy? What does that have to do with this?"
Gojo Satoru asked with a mocking expression:
"Of course there's a connection, because she studies at Shuchiin Academy, and Shuchiin Academy suddenly produced a god of twilight comparable to a special-grade being. She also happens to be involved with the Eight-Pointed Star Ritual and the special-grade cursed spirit, the Slit-Mouthed Woman. What do you think this means?"
Many thoughts raced through Fushiguro Megumi's mind, but one idea lingered:
"The person who constructed the eight-pointed star ritual and secretly cultivated a top-tier cursed spirit might just be that Illusion Princess!"
Chapter 113 Gojo Satoru: She's a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer. Yukinoshita: That's right, a chuunibyou.
When Fushiguro Megumi realized that the mastermind behind everything was likely the 'Phantom Princess', she began to break out in a cold sweat.
He couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she really did it.
Without a doubt, Tokyo will witness another Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!
Xia Youjie has already demonstrated through his actions just how much harm a top-tier sorcerer can cause when they betray him. And that 'Phantom Princess,' in Gojo Satoru's opinion of her, is even higher than Xia Youjie's!
Xia Youjie launched the Hundred Demon Parade to steal the shikigami of Senior Yigu, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Qiben Lixiang. So what is her purpose?
"It's not that bad."
Gojo Gokatsu understood what Fushiguro Megumi was thinking just by looking at his increasingly grim expression, but his own expression remained relaxed.
"This is just the speculation of those old men, and those old folks always have the most malicious conjectures about things they can't control. But I don't think she has any reason to do such a thing, otherwise she wouldn't have helped us during last year's Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."
"Moreover, if she really did it, she wouldn't have left such obvious residue for us to discover. So it's highly likely that someone framed her and deliberately left clues to make us suspicious."
"However..."
Gojo Satoru inserted his fingers into the gap under his blindfold, his eyes narrowing slightly. "If that's the case, then it means there's probably a mole within the Director's Department, otherwise they wouldn't have immediately suspected her."
"Teacher Gojo."
After a long silence, Fushiguro Megumi asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is her technique?"
"You didn't know?" Gojo Satoru asked, looking surprised.
"do not know."
Fuhei Hui's face darkened. He didn't have the Six Eyes that could see through all spells, so how could he possibly know?
Not only him, but the entire world of sorcery knew nothing about the spells of that 'Phantom Princess'.
Gojo Satoru stroked his chin:
"Well, it's actually quite simple. Her technique is somewhat similar to that of the Yi Gu."
Fu Heihui's expression shifted slightly:
"Imitation Technique?"
Similar, but different.
After thinking for a moment, Gojo held up two fingers and said, "You can think of it as the imitation technique of the Bone Mage combined with the construction technique."
Fushiguro Megumi looked surprised:
"Construction techniques?"
Gojo Satoru smiled:
"Is this surprising? Almost all sorcerers consider the construction spell to be the most useless spell, because among all spells, the construction spell has the lowest efficiency in using spell power, without exception."
"But what if we think about it from another perspective? What if the user possessed almost limitless magical power?"
Fushiguro Megumi suddenly raised her head. So that's why Gojo-sensei specifically mentioned it as Eto-senpai's imitation technique + construction technique?
Senior Yi Gu is a Special Grade cultivator, both because of his imitation techniques and because he possesses almost limitless magical power.
The same goes for Gojo-sensei, not only because of his six eyes, but also because of his limitless magic technique that consumes almost no magical power!
No matter how powerful a technique is, it still requires a massive amount of magical power to support it.
If the user of the spellcasting technique has almost unlimited spell power, then why bother considering the efficiency of spell power usage?
"The ability to construct spells is based on one's own magical power, building matter from scratch. Furthermore, the matter generated by constructing spells will not disappear after the spell ends. However, this also means that the consumption of magical power is extremely intense, which will put a great burden on the body."
"This is tantamount to creating something out of thin air, which is almost equivalent to a miracle in the eyes of ordinary people. However, because the efficiency of using magical power is too low, it has always been regarded as a useless technique by the world of magic."
"Zen Temple True Path's technique is a construction technique, and the limit of her unimpeded range is that she can make one bullet a day. So while others can only have six bullets in a revolver, her revolver can have seven bullets."
"But that's all. It's difficult to hurt other sorcerers with just one bullet, even if it's a sneak attack."
"However, if her magical power is close to infinite, then she can produce bullets without limit. She can use the revolver to achieve the effect of an infinite number of bullets, or even more exaggeratedly, she can use her magical power to condense even more powerful bullets, using the revolver as a machine gun, or even a machine gun!"
"Moreover, these bullets can be imbued with magical power, and they are infinitely numerous, which is enough to pose a deadly threat to any sorcerer. Moreover, the ability of constructing spells is not just about creating bullets, and her abilities are not limited to constructing spells!"
Gojo Satoru paused slightly, but did not continue with any examples.
He didn't fully reveal the truth about her technique, after all, she was still a friend, not an enemy, and it wasn't time for him to betray his teammates.
Fushiguro Megumi pondered for a long time, her expression somewhat puzzled:
"If that's the case, then why give her the title 'Phantom Princess'?"
Gojo Satoru looked at him with a surprised expression:
"Don't you think it sounds nice?"
"Just because of that?"
