The night was as dark as ink, and with the streetlamps just flickering to life, the streets of S City were bustling with activity.
At a busy bus station, office workers who had just finished a long day of labor stood with weary bodies, immersed in the world of their phones, waiting for the buses that would take them home.
Just then, a bus sped toward them from the distance, shattering the silence of the night.
Gao Tian looked up, only to see the bus swerving left and right, showing no signs of slowing down. His heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to dodge, but his body felt as if it were frozen, unable to move an inch.
The bus roared past, and the immense force of the wind dragged him into its path; everything happened in an instant, and in an instant, it was all over.
The next day, the morning news reported on the tragic accident.
A bus lost control in S City yesterday. The driver, a man surnamed Zhang, suffered a sudden heart attack, causing the vehicle to go out of control. Gao Tian, who was waiting for the bus, was unfortunately caught in the incident and died on the spot.
This accident drew widespread attention from society, and people expressed their deep condolences for this innocent victim.
Meanwhile, in another world, the world of Jujutsu was welcoming a new life.
In a courtyard belonging to the Jia Meng Family, one of the Three Great Families, the atmosphere was filled with joy.
Inside the delivery room, the midwife's voice rang out clearly: "It's born, it's born! It's a boy!" Following her shout, the house instantly came to life; some people rushed to bathe the child, while others tended to the mother's condition, creating a scene that was both busy and warm.
"Let's call the child Jia Meng Heng." The mother of Jia Meng Heng looked at the infant in her arms, her eyes filled with expectation and tenderness.
She gently stroked the child's small hand, as if offering the most sincere blessing to this new life.
However, for Jia Meng Heng, who had just arrived in this world, he still had no way to perceive anything of the outside world. He could only feel his own existence in a hazy, submerged state.
Three years later.
I can basically confirm that this is the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
The story of the manga Jujutsu Kaisen takes place in modern Japan. In the setting, over ten thousand people in Japan go missing or die every year for unknown reasons; in reality, these people are killed by "Curses."
So-called Curses are harmful entities formed by the gathering of negative emotions such as bitterness, regret, and humiliation from humans. They are invisible to ordinary people, but a special group of people called "Jujutsu Sorcerers" can use their special "Cursed Energy" to fight and eliminate them.
In the world of Jujutsu, there also exist three powerful families and organizations known as the Three Great Families, which are the Jia Meng Family, the Zenin Family, and the Gojo Family.
The members of these families all possess unique techniques and powerful strength.
Jia Meng Heng sat in the courtyard, looking at the full moon in the sky and contemplating.
When he discovered he had transmigrated, he began to collect information, but everyone around him spoke Japanese, which he couldn't understand at all, so he had to start by learning the language.
By now, he had already deciphered a lot of information.
The family he belonged to was the Jia Meng Family, one of the Three Great Families. Although the strength of the Jia Meng Family was the weakest among the Three Great Families, it was still one of the Three Great Families, so this starting point was considered quite good.
Moreover, Jia Meng Heng was a direct descendant, though this direct lineage had some water in it. His mother was the sister of the current family head.
After the marriage, she did not marry out; instead, his father married into the family, so Jia Meng Heng was naturally surnamed Jia Meng.
His parents were both Jujutsu Sorcerers, but neither had any great talent, nor were they ambitious, so they just relied on the family's resources to do some small business, living a very leisurely life.
However, Jia Meng Heng did not feel that way, because he knew that the world today was only peaceful on the surface; underneath, there were anti-establishment forces like "Geto" and "Mahito" causing trouble, and the author of the manga didn't seem to have a very good brain, with a strong intention to wipe out all the anti-establishment groups.
The future is bleak.
Jia Meng Heng learned from his parents' conversations that the Gojo Family had produced a new genius after several hundred years, presumably not much older than Jia Meng Heng, named Gojo Satoru.
Therefore, he also roughly knew the point in time where he was located.
It's roughly the same period as Gojo Satoru. There are still thirty years until the implementation of Geto's plan. I must grow up before then, otherwise, I won't be able to survive at all.
When Jia Meng Heng transmigrated, the original plot had already developed to the later stages.
The Fivejo Satoru, known as the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer of the era, had already been waist-cut, and the others had all gone down one by one like dominoes; they were completely unreliable. If he wanted to survive, he could only rely on himself.
Quietly finding a place to hide and waiting for the protagonists and the villains to finish fighting, or fleeing abroad?
This idea was rejected by Jia Meng Heng as soon as it was born.
Hiding in a dark corner waiting for the judgment of fate was never his personality; his own destiny had to be held in his own hands to be at ease.
If the protagonists lost, the whole world would suffer, and abroad would not be safe either.
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that the protagonists were still around and kill the villains with them to increase the winning percentage.
Fortunately, he was born into the Jia Meng Family, which was one of the Three Great Families alongside the Gojo Family. Although he didn't know what trump cards the Jia Meng Family had in the original work, since the other two of the Three Great Families, the Zenin Family and the Gojo Family, had "Ten Shadows Technique" and "Limitless," they must have some bottom-line cards.
Jia Meng Heng felt that the Jia Meng Family's "Red Blood Manipulation" must have some trump cards that hadn't been shown in the original work; otherwise, how could they have the nerve to be called one of the Three Great Families?
"However, whether I can awaken Red Blood Manipulation is still an unknown number."
Jia Meng Heng had wondered if he could become a Jujutsu Sorcerer, but the inherited techniques of the Three Great Families were not that easy to awaken, and he didn't know what his technique would be.
"It would be best if I can awaken Red Blood Manipulation. If I can't, there's no help for it; I'll just have to develop other techniques well. They won't necessarily lose to these inherited techniques."
The awakening of a technique is like flowers blooming and falling, each having its own time. If Jia Meng Heng waited until he was an adult to awaken it, he would undoubtedly miss many opportunities.
Therefore, he knew deeply that the earlier the awakening, the more beneficial it would be for the future. Although he was slightly anxious, he also understood that it couldn't be rushed.
At this moment, Jia Meng Heng sat cross-legged and began his meditation practice for the day.
His meditation method was not the kind of common method that could be searched for on the internet, but a set of sitting and breathing techniques passed down by his family, said to have been obtained from some expert.
Whenever his heart was restless, he would use this method to calm his mind and seek inner peace. Facing the uncertainty of the future, he hoped to use meditation to calm himself down so that he could sort out his thoughts.
As the dark clouds were blown away by the wind, the silver light of the full moon fell on Jia Meng Heng, who was in the courtyard, casting a layer of mysterious and solemn outer clothing over him.
He remained motionless, immersed in deep meditation, gradually sinking into a profound state of trance.
In his world, Jia Meng walked across a lake as calm as a mirror. The surroundings were deathly silent, and the surface of the water did not ripple in the slightest.
He walked leisurely, passing by several familiar spheres of light. Those spheres seemed to radiate a gentle aura, making him feel a sense of closeness.
However, just as he was about to touch one of the spheres, he noticed another, more distant sphere of light further away.
Without hesitation, he bypassed the spheres in front of him and walked toward the one in the distance.
After a long trek, Jia Meng finally reached the sphere of light.
Up close, the sphere was blood-red, like a mass of flowing blood. Yet, the color did not evoke any sense of horror; instead, it exuded an ancient, profound, and powerful aura.
Jia Meng was deeply drawn to this aura and could not help but take a step forward, lunging toward the red sphere. In an instant, his world was swallowed by a flash of light, and his consciousness began to blur.
When he woke up, he found that he had been carried onto a bed.
His family saw him lying in the courtyard and were initially terrified. But after checking his breathing and finding it normal, they breathed a sigh of relief. They assumed that Jia Meng was simply too exhausted, which was why he had fallen asleep in the courtyard.
However, what they did not know was that just last night, Jia Meng had already awakened the Jia family's ancestral bloodline—the Crimson Blood Eye.
