Jie Jian pressed a hand downward at him, signaling that there was no need to rush.
He knew what rule Charlie was talking about.
"You mean Rule 8 of the Culling Game, right?"
The Culling Game had its basic rules, and Rule 8 stated that if a player's points did not change within nineteen days, their cursed technique would be confiscated.
Cursed techniques were stored in the human brain. Once one was confiscated, the sorcerer would undoubtedly die as well!
Charlie nodded.
"I'm not too worried. I just gained five points a few days ago.
"But what about them? None of those hundred-plus people have had their points change yet.
"There isn't much time left before the nineteenth day. Once the deadline comes, they'll all die."
The "them" Charlie spoke of did not only refer to the people by the pool.
There were also many people in the villa district behind Jie Jian who had yet to awaken.
Ever since Jie Jian defeated Hajime Kashimo that day, he had intended to look for other sorcerers.
But the sorcerers in Tokyo No. 2 Colony really were not much to speak of.
After searching all over, he had not even gotten into a single proper fight!
Bored, Jie Jian simply stopped looking and settled down in a villa district, intending to wait for the plot to progress before eagerly showing Sukuna his "Undying Thunder."
However, before Sukuna arrived, Jie Jian was met by a large number of ordinary people!
By chance, an ordinary person had been chased by a cursed spirit and fled into the villa where Jie Jian was staying.
After Jie Jian casually dealt with the cursed spirit, the other party saw how powerful he was and wanted to live nearby for his protection.
Jie Jian himself did not mind. The villas were huge, and a few extra people would not make any difference.
However, once there was one, there would be a second.
After the first person moved into the villa district, more and more ordinary people somehow received the news and gradually made their way over.
In the end, nearly a hundred people had crammed themselves into the villa complex!
Most of them were ordinary young people without cursed techniques.
Jie Jian considered himself to have a lawful good personality. Since he had the chance, he took the initiative to offer them protection.
In return, the group began taking care of Jie Jian's food, clothing, and daily needs.
For easier management and protection, Jie Jian also brought over Charles Bernard, the manga artist he had first encountered.
After Jie Jian's thorough cleanup, all the cursed spirits around the villas had been wiped out, and the ordinary people living nearby were no longer in danger.
With their lives no longer at risk, these people's daily routine was to stay in the villas and do nothing.
As the saying went, once people were well-fed and warmly clothed, lustful thoughts arose.
At some point, someone in the bored crowd suddenly suggested—
"Why don't we throw a party?"
As a workhorse of the modern era, Jie Jian had never actually attended a so-called party.
Curious, he immediately agreed to the proposal.
Before this, Jie Jian had always thought he was not someone who liked having fun.
Bars, parties, banquets—those were all just wastes of time.
But after that day, he realized he had been wrong.
So parties were actually this fun!
Especially when you were the center of attention—they were even more fun!
Surrounded by one young girl after another, Jie Jian immediately fell victim to capitalism's sugar-coated bullets and began throwing parties on a grand scale.
In the end, under Jie Jian's deliberate encouragement, things evolved into the current state of daily drunken revelry.
The people living in the villa district had no other duties. Their job was to clean up the venue during the day and prepare for the evening party at night.
As for Jie Jian, he went out every day to bring back the necessary ingredients and alcohol.
Fortunately, there was a large shopping mall nearby with plenty of alcohol, food, and everything else.
Otherwise, there was no way they could have sustained the daily consumption of so many people!
Charlie looked at Jie Jian again, concern flashing through his eyes.
"When are you planning to add a rule allowing points to be freely transferred?"
To deal with this rule, Jie Jian had previously told Charlie that the "die if your points don't change" rule could be bypassed by adding a rule permitting the free transfer of points.
As long as they had one point, they could circulate that single point repeatedly among the crowd, ensuring that everyone's points changed.
However, Jie Jian had never added that rule, which made the people in the villa district anxious.
But they were too embarrassed to approach Jie Jian directly, so they could only ask Charlie to inquire about his progress.
"What's the rush? Today's only the twelfth day, isn't it?"
Jie Jian waved a hand dismissively, signaling for Charlie to relax.
At the same time, he shrugged helplessly.
"Besides, I only have ninety-six points right now. That's still short of the hundred points needed to add a rule. Tell them not to worry."
During his days in the colony, Jie Jian had occasionally encountered sorcerers who actively challenged him, as well as ordinary people who wanted to cause trouble.
He had shown none of them mercy.
Thanks to their friendly contributions, Jie Jian had successfully accumulated ninety-six points so far.
"Fine." Charlie nodded. "As long as you still remember, that's enough."
Charlie's strength as a sorcerer was decent. If asked to hunt for points, he could manage it too.
But Charlie knew full well that no one could keep winning forever.
If you kept winning and winning, eventually you would lose it all!
The final outcome of mutual slaughter would certainly be everyone dying.
Charlie did not want to die yet, so if possible, he hoped to find a way to escape the Culling Game.
He had watched Jie Jian's changes over the past few days.
He was worried that Jie Jian had fallen into depravity, caring only about partying with girls and refusing to add rules for others. That was why he had come to test the waters.
Since Jie Jian still remembered, Charlie finally felt at ease.
Just then, two young girls jogged over from not far away.
They carried a tray with milk and toasted bread on it.
"Jie Jian, sir, I made your breakfast! Hurry up and try it!"
The girls directly squeezed Charlie aside, then sat down on either side of Jie Jian.
Watching Jie Jian laugh and joke around, Charlie helplessly shook his head.
Ah, young people these days really had no sense of restraint.
Just then, a scream suddenly came from the distance.
"Ah! There's a cursed spirit!"
The words "cursed spirit" immediately threw the place into panic.
Everyone ran toward Jie Jian at once.
Even the girls beside Jie Jian directly burrowed into his arms.
"T-There's a cursed spirit! Jie Jian, sir, you'll protect us, right?"
Jie Jian casually patted their heads.
"Relax. Nothing will happen while I'm here. Besides, where would a cursed spirit come from in broad daylight?"
Although cursed spirits did not have any obvious fear of light, they generally preferred to act at night.
He pulled his arms out from the embraces of the two girls beside him.
"Wait here. I'll go take a look."
Just as he was about to check what was happening, another somewhat aggrieved voice came from the distance.
"Don't run! I'm not a cursed spirit, I'm just a cute panda!"
A chubby panda arrived with the voice.
At that moment, he raised his hands with a wronged expression, looking at the fleeing people as though trying to call them back.
However, when an ordinary person saw a talking panda, they probably would not want to speak with him.
Everyone present looked somewhat frightened, but Jie Jian was different.
Because he recognized who the panda before him was. Wasn't he that fat panda from Jujutsu High?!
The plot was finally about to begin!
However, before Jie Jian could say another word, the appearance of someone else left him completely dumbfounded.
A mysterious hooded man walked out from behind Panda with a smile.
"Panda-senpai, let me handle this. Everyone's a little scared of you."
Having already seen him once during the challenge, Jie Jian immediately recognized this newly appeared mysterious hooded man as the protagonist of this Culling Game, Yuji Itadori!
But Jie Jian clearly remembered that Yuji Itadori was supposed to go to Tokyo No. 1 Colony. Why had he come to the second colony instead?
Not far away, Yuji Itadori swept his gaze over the crowd.
He immediately spotted Jie Jian in the center of the crowd.
Just from Jie Jian's stance, Yuji Itadori could tell that the man before him was monstrously strong!
He had to be the leader of this group!
Yuji Itadori stepped forward and immediately introduced himself.
"Hello, I'm Yuji Itadori from Jujutsu High. We were sent by the higher-ups to deal with the Culling Game, and we'd like to ask you some questions."
"Jujutsu High?"
Jie Jian instinctively started running his mouth.
"Why send a high school student to handle this? You haven't even graduated, have you? Couldn't they send someone from a jujutsu university instead?"
