"The world of the future, is this the Culling Game? How marvelous."
Just like a Cursed Spirit, a man wielding an iron staff, his body purely constructed from Cursed Energy, appeared within the Culling Game.
The moment he was resurrected, the ten rules of the Culling Game automatically appeared in his mind, making him feel the marvel of this barrier.
'Kashimo Hajime, Jujutsu Sorcerer, Total Points – fifteen thousand (Special Grade Sorcerer).'
Aside from him, many others like him suddenly appeared across Tokyo.
These were ancient sorcerers who had once made a contract with Kenjaku, though he had not intended to release them so soon after the new Culling Game began.
These ancient sorcerers, who had become Cursed Objects, required Incarnation (possessing other people) to be resurrected.
Because of the new game rules, too many overpowered individuals appearing was not a good thing. Kenjaku wanted to see the potential of ordinary people, not for ordinary people to become experience packs.
As for the opponents for Itadori and the others... Kenjaku cast down a few of Sukuna's fingers he held.
Each finger could catalyze a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, and under Sukuna's influence, they would actively seek out Itadori.
Now, the sudden appearance of ancient sorcerers clearly exceeded his expectations; this was not his doing.
"The ancient sorcerers have all suddenly revived, and surprisingly, without needing Incarnation, but with bodies composed purely of Cursed Energy... isn't this how Cursed Spirits are born?"
At the base of the God Tree, Kenjaku quickly noticed this bug: these sorcerers, revived with bodies made of Cursed Energy, were actually humans, not Cursed Spirits.
The other individuals with administrative permissions made no move. The two Uchiha knew nothing about Jujutsu, while Hanami was fully engaged in absorbing the souls of the deceased.
They all assumed this was Kenjaku's doing, but only Kenjaku knew it wasn't. It was more like... the Culling Game itself was operating.
The Cursed Technique named Culling Game, it was as if it had come alive. Truly fascinating.
Realizing this, Kenjaku almost burst out laughing in excitement. Fortunately, he held back, feigning ignorance, and had no intention of telling anyone about this change.
As for the group that had already revived, he couldn't control them. After all, administrators were not permitted to intervene.
However, his inaction didn't mean others would ignore it. The moment they revived, a flood of information directly appeared in the minds of Kashimo Hajime and the others.
This not only provided them with 'common knowledge' of modern society but also informed them of the current situation.
The All-Evil of this World naturally had its own purpose in bringing them forth, such as eliminating Itadori Yuji and Gojo Satoru, two beings possessing immense fortune.
Kashimo Hajime didn't think too much; he only knew one thing: Itadori was Sukuna, and he was here to fight Sukuna.
Although he didn't know where the information in his mind came from, he assumed it was Kenjaku's little trick. Kashimo Hajime decided to help him out and act according to this guidance.
To eliminate the unconscious Gojo Satoru, he would have to overturn the entire Jujutsu High, which even contained Sukuna's Jinchuriki.
There's no such thing as too much Cursed Energy. Once he inherits Gojo Satoru's power, he'll release Sukuna from Itadori's body and have a satisfying battle with it.
Feeling the long-awaited amplification of Cursed Energy, and the youthful body giving him a sense of being alive, Kashimo Hajime headed directly towards Gojo Satoru's location.
The Jujutsu High group had moved the unconscious Gojo Satoru to Shoko Ieiri's secret base. Theoretically, no one should know his location, but that wouldn't stop someone from cheating and revealing it.
Of course, everyone's revival locations were random. Kashimo Hajime was relatively far, and naturally, there were also those who were closer.
A portion of the group remained to guard Gojo Satoru, while the rest accompanied Sasuke, roaming the streets. They weren't planning to attack ordinary people, so the best way to gather Cursed Energy was through sting operations.
Whether for Cursed Users or anyone else, the points above their heads were the best bait.
On the deserted street, Itadori sat alone on steps beside some greenery, while the others hid behind him. Such an obvious bait, yet so simple and effective.
"Itadori Yuji, the Cursed King's vessel? Such a massive number of points; it seems you've killed quite a few people."
Itadori had barely warmed his seat when he realized the enemy had arrived.
"I didn't..." He took a combat stance, ready to retort, but suddenly fell silent, for he had indeed killed people.
"That doesn't matter. More importantly, I want to know, where is this 'Gojo Satoru'?"
'Choso, Jujutsu Sorcerer, Total Points – nine thousand (Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer).'
Choso, having achieved Incarnation and rebirth, had a consciousness in his mind telling him to eliminate Gojo Satoru and Itadori. If he could kill them, someone would revive his brothers.
Confused after his revival, he hadn't thought much before seeing Itadori sitting on the street. Relying on the Culling Game's rules, he identified the person before him as his target.
"Are you here to kill Gojo Satoru-sensei too?" Itadori clenched his fists upon hearing his words.
He took the opponent for a normal Jujutsu Sorcerer, thus he couldn't understand why a good person like Gojo Satoru-sensei would be targeted by them, merely to seize his power.
"Gojo Satoru-sensei has done so much for the Jujutsu world, yet you still want to kill him. Don't you feel any guilt?"
As the strongest, Gojo Satoru alone had eradicated almost all Cursed Users, so nearly all who remained were Jujutsu Sorcerers 'protected' by him.
Itadori had also come to understand Gojo Satoru's actions during this time: less than four hours of rest each day, the rest spent on missions, all to reduce Jujutsu Sorcerer casualties.
So, this was how these people repaid him in the end? Each one wishing for Gojo Satoru's death?
"I don't know what you're talking about, but if I defeat you, I'll be able to find Gojo Satoru's location, right?"
What babble was that? Choso said he hadn't understood a single word. Ultimately, he didn't even know who Gojo Satoru was; if it weren't for the point detector, he wouldn't even recognize Itadori.
But it didn't matter. In any case, a fight was inevitable in the end. For the sake of his brothers, he was willing to trust that strange voice just this once, as he had no other choice.
"Are these the only kind of people who will attack? Then I won't feel any pressure fighting."
Seeing the opponent utterly unrepentant and instead wearing a look of indifference, Itadori grew furious.
The fighting spirit, which had been hesitant due to the prospect of killing, now reignited.
Both sides stared intently at each other, ready to strike at any moment.
Fourteen thousand points versus eight thousand points. The advantage is mine.
