[To prevent a tragedy that crossed ethical boundaries from quietly unfolding in some unknown corner, you decisively put all further plans to replenish the numbers of "Great Sages" on hold.]

[You were searching, or rather guarding against the possibility that there really were lunatics in the country, blinded by greed, secretly attempting to replace the cores of fully independent cursed corpses with living human souls.]
[Within this surveillance network, you focused your closest attention first and foremost on those in Jujutsu Society capable of Cursed Corpse Creation.]
[You spared neither the renowned masters of cursed corpse creation nor even those sorcerers whose records placed them a level below, seemingly capable only of making ordinary cursed corpse components.]
[After all, in the mire of lies and concealment that was Jujutsu Society, there was always the possibility of someone deliberately hiding their true abilities.]
[Although you knew full well that even after doing everything you could to establish surveillance, you dared not claim that the forces you had mobilized could stamp out every evil before it began with absolute certainty and no blind spots, this was at least enough to prevent the vast majority from taking that risk.]
[Yet even after going this far, deep unease still gnawed at your heart whenever the night grew quiet.]
[You did not know how long you could suppress the seeds of this taboo through power and fear.]
[Human greed was like weeds. As long as the temptation of a "shortcut" remained, someone would one day test the abyss again.]
