After absorbing and gaining control of the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Suguru Geto learned its information.
This Special Grade Cursed Spirit was born long ago during the chaotic medieval period in the West, born from the fear of demons.
Due to the chaotic nature of information dissemination at the time, the image of demons varied greatly, but there were a few aspects that were surprisingly consistent.
A towering physique, a gaping maw capable of swallowing a person whole, and the ability to grant wishes in exchange for souls after death.
Later, a witch sealed the Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit. By chance, it was brought back by a fleet from the East as an offering and eventually ended up in the island nation.
"A Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit, huh."
Suguru Geto said softly.
After understanding the situation of this Cursed Spirit, Suguru Geto turned to Eiji's side and looked down at the Cursed Spirit sisters who were faintly surrounded.
"Aren't you going to tell me about yourselves?"
Suguru Geto stood in front of Eiji and asked.
Eiji understood Suguru Geto's meaning.
If you're going to make a move, leave it to me. You rest well.
In fact, when Eiji was fighting the Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit, Suguru Geto had already sensed the intense Cursed Energy fluctuations.
However, the current situation made Suguru Geto dare not be careless.
This was Suguru Geto's first time encountering a Cursed Spirit with sentience, and the Cursed Energy fluctuations emanating from it were not to be underestimated.
Suguru Geto had originally planned to quickly deal with this strange Cursed Spirit and then go support Eiji, but the Cursed Spirit's actions made it even more incomprehensible to him.
She actually offered to help deal with the Cursed Spirit that was fighting Eiji.
"Who are you, and why are you helping us?"
Unsure of the situation, Suguru Geto began to probe the Cursed Spirit in front of him.
After a period of communication, Suguru Geto found no malice from the Cursed Spirit.
However, fearing that unpredictable changes might occur if the Cursed Spirit went to Eiji's battlefield, Suguru Geto decided to absorb the Cursed Spirit in front of him before going to support Eiji.
It was also at this moment that the Cursed Spirit displayed an ability that made Suguru Geto wary.
She wrote something in a pink notebook, and then Suguru Geto felt that most of the Cursed Spirits he had summoned were forcibly dispelled and returned to his Cursed Technique space.
Only Cursed Spirits of Grade 2 or higher were immune to the dispelling ability.
The Cursed Spirit's physical combat skills were poor, but her strength was surprisingly great, making it difficult for Suguru Geto to subdue her for a time.
"Your companion is in a bit of trouble."
Knowing that he couldn't defeat the Cursed Spirit in front of him for the time being, Suguru Geto finally accepted her offer.
Although this Cursed Spirit was troublesome, she wasn't unbeatable. Supporting Eiji, who was facing a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, was more important right now.
Moreover, if anything went wrong and he was with Eiji, they could immediately decide whether to fight or flee. Being hesitant now put them at a disadvantage.
And so, what happened next occurred.
"My story? Well, it all started about 50 years ago."
The girl Cursed Spirit tilted her chin, a hint of nostalgia in her voice.
"But you probably wouldn't enjoy such a long story."
Suddenly, the girl stuck out her tongue playfully.
The Barrier that enveloped the entire school began to dissipate. The girl stepped forward and hugged the Crimson Figure.
To the astonished gazes of Eiji and Suguru Geto, the crimson color on the Crimson Figure faded, as if she had transformed into an ordinary girl.
In the rising morning sun, their figures gradually turned into particles of light and vanished.
"We'll leave our story to you. We hope you'll like it. Goodbye."
Facing the rising sun, the girl smiled happily, holding her sister as they gradually disappeared into the sunlight.
The lingering Barrier emitted a soft fluctuation, and a phantom appeared in everyone's minds.
The Onoayama Family's ancestors had produced Jujutsu Sorcerers, which briefly allowed them to become nobles.
However, after that Jujutsu Sorcerer died, no Jujutsu Sorcerers were born in the Onoayama Family for several generations, so their glory came and went quickly.
Fortunately, their ancestors had left behind considerable wealth, so the Onoayama clan never had to worry about food or drink.
Then, everything changed fifty years ago.
The younger sister was tricked and murdered by a neighbor on her way home from school.
That evening, the police and her father, based on clues provided by neighbors and traces left by the sister, found the neighbor's house.
However, all the father found was his daughter's body, chopped into several pieces by the neighbor with an axe.
Upon hearing the news, the mother had a mental breakdown and became delirious while looking at her daughter's corpse.
The father and older sister were also in great pain.
Later, the mother remembered the family record passed down in the Onoayama clan, which recorded that their ancestors had obtained a jar containing a sealed Demon Cursed Spirit from a great eastern country.
Legend has it that the demon grants people's wishes and then takes the souls of those who made them.
With only a superficial understanding of jujutsu and cursed spirits, she tore open the seal on the jar, holding onto her last hope, wanting to sacrifice herself to bring back her daughter's life.
Feeling the environment grow colder around her, the mother, unable to see the cursed spirit, made a wish to the demon with the body of her younger daughter, who had died the day before.
Afterward, the mother died happily in an illusion created by the demon, and her father, who rushed to stop it upon hearing the news, couldn't escape death either.
Then, the Demon Cursed Spirit turned its gaze to the body of the younger sister, whose soul had not yet dissipated.
It wanted to devour her soul as well.
The Onoayama sisters possessed talent for jujutsu, but only one jujutsu sorcerer had ever appeared in the Onoayama family, and there was no systematic inheritance left behind.
This prevented them from discovering the talent of these two sisters.
The elder sister, arriving a step later than her father due to her shorter strides, saw her entire family lying on the ground. The immense shock caused her to awaken her Cursed Technique—the Incredible Game.
The effect of the Cursed Technique was to deploy a Barrier, within which the user could set game rules, and those inside the Barrier could not violate these rules.
Once the rules were set, they would not take effect immediately but required a certain amount of time.
Rules that directly harmed people could not be created.
The Barrier released by the girl who had just awakened was only the size of a single room.
The commotion caused by the elder sister attracted the attention of the Demon Cursed Spirit, which shifted its gaze to her.
As if seeing a more delicious meal, the Demon Cursed Spirit began to move toward the elder sister.
Both out of fear and the weakness from having just used her Cursed Technique, the elder sister, unable to move, could only watch in terror as the Demon Cursed Spirit approached her step by step.
Fortunately, the demon's unhurried movements allowed the elder sister's Cursed Technique rules to take effect.
The elder sister, who didn't understand how to set rules, had only the thought of saving her younger sister in her mind.
The Barrier generated by the Cursed Technique automatically created relevant rules based on the elder sister's wish. The cursed energy from the elder sister was continuously drawn out and injected into her younger sister's body.
The younger sister's body began to slowly recover, and her soul, awakened by the Demon Cursed Spirit, regained consciousness.
Perhaps due to the peculiar connection between twins, with the elder sister's awakening and the massive infusion of cursed energy, the younger sister also awakened her own Cursed Technique, which allowed her to create and recall clones.
When the clones were recalled, anything touched and enveloped by the cursed energy would also be recalled.
The younger sister, who had awakened her Cursed Technique, summoned a clone and pushed her elder sister away before she could be eaten, allowing her clone to be devoured instead.
The elder sister was then hidden behind a pile of miscellaneous items by another clone.
The Demon Cursed Spirit swallowed the clone filled with the elder sister's cursed energy, and the elder sister, due to her unskillful use of the Cursed Technique and excessive cursed energy depletion, gradually died.
The Demon Cursed Spirit felt something was off, but the elder sister's presence had vanished, and it had indeed consumed something with her cursed energy. Finally, it gave up thinking and turned to devour the younger sister's soul.
The Demon Cursed Spirit was pleased with its newly enslaved soul, which was powerful and had awakened a Cursed Technique.
Subsequently, the Demon Cursed Spirit released the younger sister's soul, and under the Demon Cursed Spirit's curse, the younger sister's soul transformed into the cursed spirit known as the Crimson Figure.
After giving the Crimson Figure the order to help it hunt, the Demon Cursed Spirit turned into black mist and merged into the Crimson Figure's body to continue its slumber.
If the bodies of jujutsu sorcerers are not properly handled after death, they can easily give rise to cursed spirits.
Therefore, the deaths of jujutsu sorcerers must be dealt with using cursed techniques or proper disposal.
The elder sister died from overexerting her cursed energy and life force, but the effect of her Cursed Technique remained. Coupled with her obsession with her sister at the time of her death, the elder sister unexpectedly became a cursed spirit.
"Sister, sister, sister."
The cursed spirit sister kept muttering.
"What is sister? What is sister?"
The cursed spirit sister began to question. Through continuous inquiry, suitable "rules" were generated by the Barrier, and the cursed spirit sister gradually regained her senses with the help of the Cursed Technique.
Over the next decade, the Crimson Figure killed and helped the Demon Cursed Spirit enslave the souls of nearly a hundred people, while the cursed spirit sister relentlessly pursued the Crimson Figure, wanting to free her sister.
Gradually, the elder sister discovered that the Demon Cursed Spirit was almost always dormant and that it required large amounts of negative emotions rather than human lives.
After this, the elder sister began to use her Cursed Technique's Barrier to influence her sister's actions.
After continuous attempts, this game of finding a body emerged.
Before her death, the younger sister's body had been dismembered by a neighbor, so a complete body was her obsession. Using this as the game's content could easily influence the Crimson Figure that her sister had become.
Schools are densely populated, and the emotions of young people are extremely rich. Here, enough negative emotions could be gathered to keep the Demon Cursed Spirit dormant.
The elder sister also refined this Incredible Game bit by bit, ensuring that those killed within the Barrier would not truly die. Those who completed the game would ultimately have this period of memory blurred, believing they had only had a nightmare.
In the more than thirty years since this game's inception, almost no one has been killed by the Crimson Figure.
In this way, the elder sister successfully contained her sister within the school, providing enough negative emotions to keep the Demon Cursed Spirit dormant while searching for a way to save her sister, until the arrival of Eiji and Suguru Geto.
