Born as Gojo Satoru Cousin

The atmosphere inside the car was eerily quiet.

Ijichi occasionally glanced at Eiji beside him.

"If there's something you want to say, just say it." Eiji said flatly, unable to tolerate the silence any longer.

"Ah, it's not a big deal. Kamiki-san wants to eradicate Cursed Spirits, which one first?"

"Special Grade Cursed Spirits."

"Alright, I understand."

Ijichi was surprised that Eiji chose to confront Special Grade Cursed Spirits instead of the easier-to-eliminate Grade 1 Cursed Spirits.

Of course, only a few Jujutsu Sorcerers dared to say that eliminating Grade 1 Cursed Spirits was 'easy'.

"By the way, what type of Special Grade Cursed Spirit will I be facing?" Eiji asked.

Cursed Spirits are classified into three types:

First, Vengeful Cursed Spirits, created when humans become Cursed Spirits after death. The ancestor of the Three Great Jujutsu Sorcerer Families, Sugawara Michizane, is a Vengeful Cursed Spirit.

Second, Imaginary Vengeful Cursed Spirits, manifested from the cumulative fear of the masses. When many people share a fear, such as famous yokai or mythologies like the Nine-Tailed Fox, Imaginary Vengeful Cursed Spirits can form.

And finally, Disease Cursed Spirits. Plagues and common illnesses are concepts continually feared by humanity, giving rise to powerful Cursed Spirits. Disease Cursed Spirits can use Cursed Techniques to infect humans with their respective diseases to curse and kill them.

"The Special Grade Cursed Spirit we found this time is of the Imaginary Vengeful Cursed Spirit type. Initially, Gojo-san exterminated it, but he refused and handed it over to you, Kamiki-san." Ijichi said, helpless against Satoru's carefree attitude.

"I see." Eiji nodded.

As the car stopped at a red light, a group of high school girls crossed the street chatting cheerfully.

"Ignorance is bliss. That proverb is true."

"Why did Kamiki-san say that?"

Curious, Ijichi asked.

After a brief interaction, he concluded that Eiji wasn't difficult to approach.

"The number of unexplained deaths and disappearances in Japan exceeds ten thousand each year due to the direct influence of Cursed Spirits on normal society. If it weren't for Jujutsu Sorcerers sacrificing their lives to eliminate Cursed Spirits, how could society remain peaceful?"

"If ordinary people could see Cursed Spirits but couldn't do anything about it, I wonder if they could be as cheerful as they are now."

Eiji expressed his view.

Unlike his cousin, who now ideologically protects ordinary humans, he leaned more towards the belief that Jujutsu Sorcerers have no obligation to protect ordinary humans.

"Kamiki-san has a unique mindset."

Hearing that, Ijichi sweated on his forehead. After the green light, he stepped on the gas pedal, and the car started moving.

(Gojo-san, your cousin is very dangerous!)

He worried that Eiji might follow the path of Geto Suguru, exterminating humanity and leaving only Jujutsu Sorcerers. Moreover, with Eiji's potential as a bearer of the Six Eyes and owner of the Heavenly Restriction blessed with superhuman physical abilities, Ijichi feared Eiji could be even more dangerous than Suguru if he took that path.

(I have to tell Gojo-san about this, don't let Kamiki-san become like Geto-san)

Next to him, Eiji was unaware that Ijichi misunderstood him.

He might be apathetic and lack empathy towards ordinary people, only because he lacked connections with them due to a lack of interaction.

However, he wouldn't annihilate humanity. At least, he hadn't found a reason to do so yet.

"Some people have Fly Heads (Yoto) attached to them." Eiji said after observing along the way.

"That's common. Fly Heads are weak Cursed Spirits; they're not even ranked by their standards. Besides, Fly Heads only bring slight negative effects to ordinary humans, like stiffness, fatigue, headaches, and other mild symptoms. Moreover, this industry is always short-staffed. So it's impossible to mobilize Jujutsu Sorcerers to eliminate all Fly Heads."

"Makes sense."

After hearing Ijichi's explanation, Eiji no longer cared about it.

After 20 minutes of travel, the car stopped at the shopping center.

Getting out of the car, Eiji saw several police officers guarding to prevent civilians from approaching.

"Stop, this area is off-limits!"

One senior officer approached the two of them and gave a warning.

"Please take a look at this."

Ijichi showed his identification card to the senior officer.

Seeing that, the senior officer glanced at Ijichi, then at Eiji, who looked around with keen interest.

"So, you're from that department. Go ahead."

The existence of Jujutsu Sorcerers was no longer a secret to the police. After that, the senior officer cleared the way for Eiji and Ijichi to enter the shopping center.

"Are you going in?" Eiji asked, noticing Ijichi following him.

"Actually, managers shouldn't accompany Jujutsu Sorcerers when facing Cursed Spirits. Anyway, we'd just be a burden. But this time is an exception; the higher-ups ordered me to record Kamiki-san's fight scene."

With a handycam in his hand, Ijichi tried not to stray too far from Eiji, afraid he might be attacked suddenly.

"I understand."

Eiji didn't say anything about it.

If the higher-ups wanted to see his strength, he would show it to them!

*Da Da Da Da*

While riding the non-functional escalator, Eiji was greeted by a barrage of bullets fired from a machine gun.

Although attacked suddenly, not a single bullet hit him. Instead, they were stopped by the Infinity, and hundreds of bullets floated in the air.

"This..."

Ijichi was shocked to see this scene. After regaining his composure, he quickly started recording.

"Don't stray too far from me." Eiji said casually.

"Understood." Ijichi nodded, not daring to move away from him even without being asked.

*Whosh Whosh Whosh*

Dozens of RPG rockets were fired, but like before, all attacks stopped a few meters from Eiji.

"Very ugly." Eiji commented after seeing the Special Grade Cursed Spirit in front of him.

The Cursed Spirit resembled a very large humanoid figure floating with several guns as weapons, a rough skeleton body filled with screaming heads without bodies, and a very large and sliding barrel emerging from its skeletal surface. It also lost the lower part of its body, replaced by six ammunition belts attached to the bottom of its body.

*Da Da Da Da*

*Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh*

The Cursed Spirit ruthlessly bombarded Eiji with various types of firearms.

Facing the fierce attack, Eiji stood motionless because none of the opponent's attacks posed a threat to him.

Instead, he analyzed the Cursed Spirit in front of him.

"The main parts of both its arms seem to be M4 Carbines, with other famous assault rifles in its arms. AK-47, M16A1, and Mk18 assault rifles. Its head appears to be the slide and barrel of an M1911. Hmmm... Some firearms on its back seem to be unidentified Infantry Rifles..."

"Kamiki-san, this is not the time to appreciate the opponent!"

Seeing that Eiji still hadn't taken action, Ijichi couldn't help but remind him.

Unfortunately, Eiji ignored him and after some thought, he said, "Indeed, this Cursed Spirit is of the Imaginary Vengeful Cursed Spirit type. It seems to be the manifestation of humanity's fear of firearms. Um. Let's name it Devil Gun."
