Ijichi stood beside the conference table and quietly reported the details of the theft from the Cursed Tool Repository:
All six of Ryomen Sukuna's Fingers and the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings had been stolen.
All four jujutsu sorcerers stationed there had been knocked unconscious. None were in mortal danger, but after waking, they had no memory of the attack.
An examination of the scene had uncovered only a small amount of remains that did not belong to Jujutsu High. Their source had yet to be traced.
A heavy atmosphere hung over the conference room.
Gakuganji looked grim as he spoke with evident anger:
"Master Tengen personally sent word that the intruder's mastery of barrier techniques was no less than hers. They were also proficient in advanced concealment techniques, which allowed them to breach the barriers of the central Cursed Tool Repository without a sound.
"Someone came and went freely from one of Tokyo Jujutsu High's most vital locations. If word of this gets out, how will Jujutsu Society save face?"
The pen spinning between Qingxiao's fingers paused for half a second.
He quickly connected several clues in his mind:
Someone whose mastery of barriers rivaled Tengen's, who ignored everything else and went straight for Sukuna's Fingers and the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings...
That's fucking Kenjaku, isn't it?
How did he get mixed up with Mahito?
Qingxiao's imagination kept running wild...
Mahito's cursed technique is Idle Transfiguration. It can even alter the shape of souls.
Then what if they used Sukuna's Fingers as the core, altered them with Mahito's technique, and drew on the gestation principles of the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings...
Is he trying to give birth to a cursed spirit Sukuna?
After spending so long in this world, Qingxiao had long since grown used to the plot going off
