Volume 1: Chapter 140 Why do I always like to dream?
A relatively complex departmental composition can indeed ensure the stable operation of the entire body, but if there is no reliable monitoring or circulation mechanism, even the most perfect whole will gradually decline.
Whether it is a dynasty or a government, it often follows a relative curve from its establishment to its heyday, and then from its heyday to its decline.
Even with Kokichi's own Mecha Maru Zero, the damage to one unknown component would require a lot of time to repair, and no matter how many updates and iterations were made, the entire machine would eventually be eliminated by the new puppet.
The Spell Inspectorate had only been around for a few decades. Although there had been official organizations of spellcasters before, none had been as unified and powerful as they were today.
Those above the senior level can issue orders to those below them at will, but those below the senior level have no means to monitor those above them, so the mechanism appears to be very imperfect.
Of course, it is also possible that when the three great families joined forces with the government to establish the General Directorate, they never thought of allowing sorcerers below the level of high technical school to become senior executives.
The highest level of students at the technical college can be promoted to first-level sorcerers who can receive higher salaries and benefits, but they will not be senior executives who sit in the back and make decisions.
In fact, in addition to the members of the three great families, many of the so-called general directors' office are ordinary people from the government who are not considered sorcerers.
There were accidents and traitors among the people over there. From the perspective of the senior specialist, it is really difficult to point out any flaws unless there is conclusive evidence in advance.
Or maybe if we can reach a consensus with the three great families, it wouldn't be impossible...
But with Gojo Satoru and Itadori Yuji around, isn't this a bit too difficult?
"High-level..."
There's really no way Emiya could investigate this kind of thing alone. He couldn't possibly sneak into the general directorate himself, could he?
Even if the senior executive who colluded with the cursed spirit was stupid, it was impossible for him to leave clues at his post. At most, there would be some clues at home... But it would be difficult to carry out the next investigation without even a suspect.
It seems that in order to prevent powerful sorcerers from taking personal revenge on the staff of the General Directorate, a lot of information is still hidden from those below the level of senior specialists, which is simply providing space for the rampant growth of evil.
As for the other question, which part of the body is the difference between a sorcerer and a non-sorcerer, Emiya really has never understood it. After all, cursed power can be generated in any part of the body.
I'll just ask Miss Glass when I get back, and by the way, I'll also ask you about the [Reversal Technique].
"Emiya-sensei! Is everything okay on your end?!"
At this moment, the voice of Angehime was heard, and she rushed to Emiya's side along with Meimei.
As reinforcements arriving later, their speed was quite slow. But after seeing the frost still lingering on Mingming's weapon, Emiya roughly understood what had just happened.
The reinforcements of the two sides actually collided with each other before arriving at the battlefield, but the other side used control techniques to delay time, which caused Angehime and the other to be a little slower.
If one's body is accidentally covered by frost, it is not easy to get rid of it.
"Did you eliminate the enemy all by yourself, or did they escape?"
"That curse master's strength was quite terrifying. If she hadn't refused to fight, we two might not have been able to escape unscathed."
Indeed, that kind of frost magic is quite outrageous both in terms of offensive and defensive capabilities, and can be used as an auxiliary to control the enemy at any time. It is much stronger than the ability to only create a bullet.
With such an enemy, plus the person who was about to kill Mechamaru, the strength of the two curse masters must definitely exceed the capabilities of a first-level magician. How could they be defeated by Emiya alone?
They can't just say they've accomplished their goal and give the mechanical pill to...wait?
At this moment, An Utahime suddenly remembered something and noticed the young man standing next to Emiya.
"You're Mechamaru... No, with Kokichi?!"
As a teacher, Angehime is different from other students. Of course, she has already seen what her student's true form is like.
But who is this handsome stranger in front of me?
"is teacher......"
Fat otakus who stay at home all year round and friends who have only chatted online will inevitably feel embarrassed when meeting offline. Xingji has such feelings.
What's more, he had just made such a mistake, and it would be fatal for him to meet with acquaintances again.
"Really you?!"
"No, I mean, how could it become like this... Could it be some kind of humanoid robot? Weird..."
Faced with Angehime who was full of doubts, Xingji had no choice but to repeat what he had just said.
After everything here was temporarily over, Emiya did not let Angehime and Kokichi return to the Kyoto school, but took them back to the Tokyo school temporarily.
After all, it is safer to go to the Kyoto school where the inside story is still unknown, or the Tokyo school where there are more people of our own, and it is not easy for people with ulterior motives to notice anything.
Because the inside story had not been reported directly to the technical high school and above, Mechanical Maru's puppet had to continue its activities at the Kyoto school. At the Tokyo school, Yaga Masamichi provided a relatively secluded location to discuss the information he had learned.
"The insider said...the enemy's target is in Shibuya?"
"Are they planning to launch a large-scale attack on non-magicians to achieve some purpose..."
By night, Gojo Satoru also returned to the high school, and Emiya immediately informed him of the information he had obtained from Kokichi.
Then it appeared that Gojo Satoru was thinking seriously with one hand supporting his chin, while with the other hand he was holding a spoon, constantly scooping soup from the bowl and putting it to his mouth, making a slurping sound.
Elegant? No, this word has probably never been associated with a guy like Gojo Satoru.
"I didn't expect those guys to have much of a moral compass, but I didn't expect them to launch such a large-scale attack...Are they truly not afraid of world trouble?"
"Oh, sorry. I almost forgot that this time the enemy isn't just the Curse Master, there are also curse spirits as the main component."
Normally, a rational curser would not plan any plan to subvert society and destroy the soil that he has cultivated; an irrational curse spirit could not even come up with any decent plan.
Now the purpose of the cursed spirits is clear. Do they want to eliminate humans and become the masters of their own destiny?
"Really? It's just some unpresentable excrement. Why do I always have such meaningless dreams?"
Volume 1: Chapter 141: Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first
After all, cursed spirits are nothing more than creatures derived from human negative emotions and the resulting "curse".
Call it excrement or an accessory. In short, if humans didn't exist, the cursed spirit species wouldn't have come into being.
It’s like vegetation comes first, and then all kinds of parasites are born.
In fact, various intelligent animals also have negative emotions, but that kind of weak emotional energy rarely forms real curse power or affects anything.
In addition to constantly gaining magical power from the "curse" that gave rise to them, cursed spirits can also be considered as living beings because their own emotions can also affect their own magical power.
In other words, even if the 'curse' that caused its creation completely disappeared from human society, the cursed spirits could use their own emotions to condense the cursed power, but even then, their power would be several times weaker than when they had the support of human emotions.
As for whether the cursed spirit's emotions will generate new "curses" or even give birth to new cursed spirits?
All I can say is that there is indeed such a possibility, but it is easy to imagine that the efficiency and production capacity will be pitifully low, and no sorcerer would be bored enough to study such a subject.
You have to know that individuals like sorcerers who can control their own cursed power will never have any excess cursed power flowing out. The real "curse" that constitutes the curse spirit all comes from the negative emotions and cursed power inadvertently revealed by non-sorcerers.
It was for this reason that Geto Suguru came up with the extreme method of eliminating all non-magicians to suppress the cursed spirits.
Individual cursed spirits are just like sorcerers. Their self-generated emotions and cursed powers will be digested by themselves. Most irrational cursed spirits are not even aware of this, so how can they be reborn?
Even if there are eight billion people on this planet, aren't the cursed spirits that are born still within the controllable range?
And for some unknown reason, about half of the cursed spirits and sorcerers are born in the small island country of Japan, so there are very few particularly powerful cursed spirits born in the outside world, and even if there are, they will be easily annihilated by the dispatched Gojo Satoru.
If those cursed spirits really completely destroyed the curse world here, they would really be close to their goal of destroying humanity.
Just looking at it from an objective and rational perspective, after the complete extinction of humans, even if the cursed spirits do not disappear with them, it will be difficult for them to give birth to new individuals. Where on earth do they get the courage to create such a plan?
"It took so much effort to give birth to so many intelligent cursed spirits, but I didn't expect that every one of them would be a great dreamer."
Well, Gojo Satoru understood that there was no right or wrong from the perspective of different species. Humanity had already wiped out countless species, so it was in no position to blame others for such things.
After all, isn't the curse brewed by these guys based on all kinds of bad things?
But this did not prevent him from belittling and despising those cursed spirits from his own perspective. Don't the strong have such rights?
"But it's true... As long as the problem can't be fundamentally solved, new cursed spirits will be born sooner or later. Even if the magicians can always suppress them, the people who sacrificed in the process are useless..."
Emiya would never say that cursed spirits also have the right to survive. Even if his kindness is shown to individuals other than humans, it must be because the other party also has good intentions.
The cursed spirits are inherently determined to be unable to coexist peacefully with humans, so the best thing to do is to slaughter them completely.
When was the first cursed spirit born? It's impossible to trace back to such ancient times, but it must have been at least two thousand years ago.
Over the past thousands of years, mankind has been able to develop steadily into the current society. This shows that the magicians of every era have always been able to suppress the momentum of the cursed spirits, and the process has been safe and sound at best.
But even so, the price of this achievement is always the dedication of countless sorcerers and the countless ordinary people who lost their lives for no reason.
At least the original idea of Geto Suguru was correct. It is not reliable to rely solely on the sorcerers to curb the development of the cursed spirits. It is still necessary to cut it off at the root.
Unfortunately, Emiya probably didn't have the chance to ask Geto Suguru what he thought during his high school days.
"That's true. It would be nice if all the troubles could be solved once and for all. Unfortunately, I'm not the type to do research."
After drinking all the soup in the bowl, Gojo Satoru, with his arms leaning on the table, spread out his palms neatly.
As for the fact that the cursed spirits have disappeared, whether the General Directorate and the government will liquidate the sorcerers who possess abnormal powers...this kind of thing is not within Gojo Satoru's consideration at all.
Anyway, no matter how powerful the cursed spirit is, it will not be his opponent. Those various modern weapons that only sound powerful have to stand aside.
It is not known whether the radiation from the nuclear bomb can penetrate the [Infinite] shield, but ordinary explosives certainly cannot, and he can easily move out of the range of destruction in a short time.
Apart from assassinations, sorcerers above level one would probably be difficult to defeat with conventional forces...and once the operation failed, those high-ranking officials would have to consider whether they could keep their heads.
If that time really comes, the government might be crazy enough to drag the sorcerers who have been freed from the burden into the war, and then let themselves be destroyed in all kinds of unrest?
After all, it seems that even if the cursed spirits ultimately defeat humans, the fundamental reason for their own destruction is still humans themselves?
If possible, Gojo Satoru really wants to lay off all those good-for-nothing guys, and the world might become much more peaceful.
"But there's another very important point. Even if we know the enemy's target is likely the entire Shibuya, how do you think we should respond, Emiya-kun?"
Gojo Satoru asked Emiya with his arms crossed.
"Set a trap in advance to counterattack, or temporarily evacuate the people to minimize the losses?" Emiya tried to answer.
Personal battles and decision-making were fine, but he hadn't really considered this kind of large-scale battle.
But no matter what, reducing losses and striving for victory should be two unchanging goals, right?
"No way."
Gojo Satoru ruthlessly denied this view.
"The starting point is correct, but there are many problems in actually implementing it. Even a fight between two people could lead to unexpected events, let alone a scene like this?"
"First, do you think the government would just evacuate people without knowing the date of the attack? This is one of the country's economic centers."
"Then, they also knew that we knew the planned location. If Shibuya was just a random target they picked, without any real need, then they could have just sat back and watched it happen, then changed the attack location at will."
"It's not just Shibuya. Shinjuku, Bunkyo, Chiyoda... or even the outlying Koto and Edogawa districts... In this small country, there are plenty of places and hostages for them to carry out their plans."
Not to mention other places, Tokyo alone has a total of 23 administrative regions, and the smallest part has a population of hundreds of thousands.
There are more than 20 urban areas crowded together not far away. What can we do? Clear out all the people to prevent attacks?
So where should these evacuated people go? Would it be easier for the enemy to hold them hostage if they gathered together?
Things will be difficult when the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light.
"indeed......"
Emiya had to agree that convincing the government to fully cooperate was already a difficult task, not to mention that the enemy seemed to be able to correct the attack target at any time?
"So what should we do? We can't just do nothing, right? Otherwise, what's the point of getting this information?"
"If those cursed spirits achieve their goal, the casualties will be at least ten thousand..."
The fact that they were preparing to launch a direct attack on an entire district showed that they were ready to fight tooth and nail. They would no longer hide their whereabouts, and they were even less likely to show mercy to non-magicians.
"It's very troublesome. After all, if they try hard to hide in the sewers, there's really no way to find them... The best case scenario is that they will still attack Shibuya, but we can't show obvious precautions. Evacuating the people is too conspicuous."
"For the next period of time, I will try my best to stay in Japan and will not go beyond the neighboring countries, so that I can rush back as quickly as possible if an accident occurs."
"But to ensure things don't get too complicated, I'd better go talk to the higher-ups first to discuss my concerns."
"By the way, don't forget to provide me with dinner!"
That’s it for now, let’s eat first.
Volume 1: Chapter 142 You all must become stronger!
"By the way, didn't you also say...that guy was using Jay's image?"
"Just borrowing his name to continue the deception is already despicable enough, and with the use of a technique like [Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique], I'm afraid it's not just a disguise..."
"Don't worry too much, Emiya-kun."
"I'm going to get that guy out of Jay real quick."
