Curse of the Eye of the Dead

The one in the photo is only five years old.

The background seems to be somewhere in the countryside near the sea, and his expression is a little confused.

"This is—" Uosheng subconsciously looked at Gojo Satoru.

"I received an old photo during the search. Of course, after learning about the details, I'm not sure if the child in this photo is your child."

"What do you mean?"

"Read on, read on." Wujo Wu said with a smile: "All the information I can find is on paper, and I can't find any more."

Uoyu hesitantly glanced at Chuya who heard the sound.

He lowered his head, his dark red eyes like frozen blood met the expectant sapphire blue eyes of the orange-red haired boy.

"Don't worry, Mr. Uno."

The corners of Chuya's mouth were raised, his eyebrows were curved, and he showed a bright smile without any haze.

Coupled with his gorgeous hair color and eyes like the sky and the sea, it is easy to be infected by his vigorous emotions.

Zhong Yuan also said: "No matter what the truth is, I am already mentally prepared."

I will always cherish the fetters in front of me more, and I will never be entangled in the past... This is the high-spirited Chuya Nakahara.

So Uno sat down cross-legged, and spread out the folded A4 papers, revealing the confidential information recorded on them.

The six teenagers and girls immediately surrounded Uno, and their eyes were neatly placed on the information.

This is what Gojo Satoru spent nearly half a year circling around, using all kinds of excuses and contacts to investigate the content about [Huangba spit].

What was written on it was—a military artificial supernatural life body research plan.

.

The origin of the study was a German researcher who discovered a "singularity" that could be artificially created.

The principle is based on the characteristics of the "self-contradictory" ability. To explain it simply, the ability itself has a logical conflict.

To use an analogy, it is like a person with supernatural powers who "can amplify the other party's supernatural abilities" uses their abilities on themselves, thus making their own supernatural abilities infinitely larger (Note 1).

It's like exploiting a game bug. Once a logical contradiction arises, it will directly break through various physical limitations, and directly turn the impossible joke like "stepping on the right foot to the sky" into reality.

Ability caught in a logic BUG will overlap infinitely and generate infinite energy. In this case, no matter how weak the original ability is, it will be distorted into terrifying power and astonishing lethality after forming a "singularity" another ability.

There are actually quite a few examples of such "contradictory" abilities that did trigger logic bugs in the history of abilities. Must die. (Note 2)

After all, it is impossible for the human body to withstand the huge energy of the "singularity".

However, the biodiversity of human beings is very strong. On the premise that the base is large enough, one or two bold individuals will always be born.

The "singularity" that can be artificially created is too tempting.

In the context of supernatural wars in the past, in order to strive for more powerful military weapons, some researchers proposed to artificially circulate weak but logically contradictory supernatural abilities, artificially create powerful "singularities", and control them , The idea of ​​weaponization, in order to make up for the lack of high-end domestic combat power.

However, the only creatures that can use abilities are humans, that is to say, abilities only recognize human souls.

But an ordinary human body simply cannot withstand such a huge amount of energy, so...the research project of "Military Artificial Supernatural Life Organisms" was born.

——They intend to turn the "singularity" into a superhuman, that is, through compression, transfer it to an artificial body that can withstand it, and then use it for their own use.

In order to reduce the repulsion as much as possible, they used the cells and genes of the original ability holders, and then artificially cultivated a brand new clone, and then through genetic adjustment and various drugs, they transformed their physique into one capable of accommodating and controlling "" The level of "singularity", and finally integrate the artificial "singularity" into the clone.

Then, in order to successfully control this "singularity" and deceive this huge and hideous energy body that there is indeed a soul, the researcher fabricated an artificial personality for a blank clone—a self-calculation update composed of a total of 2383 lines of strings program. (Note 3)

The first successful case was the French man-made weapon, the assassination of King Verlaine.

Japan obtained the technology of supernatural weapons, and launched a research program on artificial weapons many years ago.

Its unique point is named - [Desolate Ba Tu].

In order to cultivate a more "perfect" artificial supernatural biological weapon than Verlaine, the Japanese military researchers even referred to the special existence of curse spirits and curse objects incarnate according to Japan's national conditions, and then tried their best to raise the upper limit of the power that artificial weapons can use .

Because of the relationship between the Tianyuan Barrier, the birth rate of spell spirits, the incidence rate of spell spirit events, and the average strength of spell spirits in Japan are dozens of times that of other countries. Therefore, the headquarters and main forces of the entire magic world are also here. , if the military wants to study the incarnation of cursed spirits and cursed objects...

Seeing this, Uno looked up at Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru had already guessed that the other party would look over, he nodded, his voice lowered a few degrees: "Ah, some high-level people in the magic world have also participated...providing the government with spell spirits and spell objects for their research. "

The white-haired, blue-eyed young man had a foul expression on his face. "There are a few low-level spells missing from the inventory of the high-level spells, and the number of years of disappearance just coincides with the time of this research project."

Uzumaki's expression became slightly more serious.

Forget about the curse spirit, it doesn't matter if that kind of thing can't be killed, but - the curse thing is different.

Cursed objects can only incarnate on human beings.

That is to say, if researchers want to study the incarnation of the cursed object, they will inevitably implant the cursed object into the human body.

Gojo Satoru: "If the implanted body is a clone without consciousness, that's fine. Just in case a real person is used for experiments on a whim, or a clone has consciousness..."

Uno's expression became particularly ugly, and the hand holding the A4 paper couldn't help tightening, so that there was a creaking sound of the paper being folded.

……

The researcher originally planned to add a magical effect to the singularity of the power, but the concept of the magic formula is obviously different from the power. After several experiments, it still failed. Until the last attempt, [Huangba spit] mutated, and the mutated [ Huang Ba spit] became more violent and unstable than before, and the energy burst out everywhere, tearing countless containers during the implantation process.

It wasn't until Experiment No. A 258 (Note 4) programmed a personality and the personality program ran successfully that [Huang Ba Tu] was implanted successfully.

To be precise, Huang Ba Tu was still very irritable at the beginning, but later on, something happened before it gradually subsided, and then became abnormally stable.

Just when the researchers were overjoyed and began to carry out the final transformation on the experimental subject A 258, an accident happened.

Experimental body No. 258 was awakened in advance by the intruder.

Experimental Body Armor No. 258, who opened his eyes for the first time, was forcibly dragged to the human world, and the blankness and panic in the heart of the pure white conscious body offended [Huang Ba spit] who stayed in the container peacefully.

Thus, the Yokohama Concession bombing happened.

[Huang Ba spit] In order to protect its fragile host, it destroyed everything with angry black fire and heavy pressure, leaving a terrifying deep pit.

Gojo Satoru: "However, that laboratory still has a stronghold, so the original explosion did not completely destroy all the insiders, and one of the main researchers survived. However, because of the tragedy of the explosion, objections appeared among the top military officials. .”

"This part of the opponents think that their technology is far from enough to manufacture humanoid weapons, and the funds required for the experiment are too large. The experimental body only looks stable on the surface. Once it wakes up, it will collapse and bring disasters to the surroundings. It is undoubtedly a failure, so the research on artificial supernatural life forms for military use has been suspended, and it will probably not be restarted until the researchers provide a higher theoretical report. The water is gone."

Gojo Satoru said this, with a look full of gloating over the old oranges in the magic world, and he spread his hands: "In summary, if there is no accident, Xiaozhong should be the only successful individual in this plan in Japan, although so far Looking at No. 258, it seems that the military is regarded as dead. After all, there are countless containers torn apart after the [Huang Ba spit] went berserk. You can live a peaceful life.”

Uzumaki didn't speak.

According to this statement, then his family's Chuya... probably is one of the clones. (*Comment Note 5)

An artificial body, an artificial personality, and an artificial soul.

An existence that is almost human-like, but out of place.

After a while, Uso asked, "Who is the man in the photo?"

This photo is very old. The "Zhongye" on it looks about five years old. If there is no accident, it should be the main body of the clone.

So, this strange young man is—

"It's a pity, it's not his father." Gojo Satoru punctured Mr. Curse Spirit's fantasy: "This is the surviving main researcher I mentioned, code-named N, who is one of the leaders in charge of the Huangba spit project , the research was stopped, he seems very unhappy, but the Chuya on this photo... I'm not sure if he is the real body, maybe he is just a clone, anyway, just take a look, I don't recommend getting too entangled this."

Uno: ...

The black-skinned and white-haired Mr. Cursing Spirit fell silent.

On the contrary, Nakahara took the stack of reports with a calm face, read it again from beginning to end, and looked up at Gojo Satoru seriously: "So, is it okay for me to live freely now? Since I am a clone, I The face should be exactly the same as the body, right?"

"That's true, but don't worry too much. If you really want to find you, you won't be allowed to move freely until you are fourteen or fifteen years old." Gojo Satoru squatted down, tilted his head and looked at Zhongya, "the original The explosion wiped out a lot of mouths. There are only a handful of people who know what you look like, and they don't pay attention to civilian life. So at present, as long as you don't jump out and use your abilities everywhere, your luck is not so bad. Just happened to bump into an insider Basically, there won't be any major problems."

"If something really goes wrong—" Wujo Wu tilted his head: "Then why don't you just come to my side, I can be your supervisor in name, it's not a problem to deal with the high-level, of course, it won't restrict your freedom."

Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief.

The orange-red-haired boy who had been mentally prepared for a long time tore up the documents slowly, and finally looked left and right, pulled out the lighter and burned it.

"I see, thank you, Mr. Gojo." Zhong also bowed to Gojo Satoru earnestly, "It is really important to me to know my past."

Gojo Satoru: "Don't you care?"

"Ah, there's nothing to care about. Just like I said before, I just want to know the truth and feel more at ease in my heart."

Zhong also raised a smile, and the sapphire blue eyes did not fade, "I don't care how I write in the information, anyway, I am myself, not a personality created by some program code, and everything about me is with my current family and companions. Shaped, trying to summarize me with strings...is impossible."

There is not such a large gap between human and non-human at certain times.

Although it is a bit regrettable, it is not difficult to accept, because Zhong also thought: there is nothing wrong with being non-human.

Just like Mr. Uno.

Chuya, who was silently guided out of the knot by Mr. Curling, was in a light mood.

Non-human also has non-human charm, and non-human does not affect the feelings of family members and companions.

Even now, the orange-red-haired boy is absolutely certain that people around him will never give him any special treatment or prejudice, including Gojo Satoru.

that's enough.

.

Thirty past zero.

Uno drove all the children to bed, it was late, and Chuya and the others naturally stayed at Kitazawa's house.

"What about you? Do you want to stay overnight or go home?" Uosheng turned his head and asked Wujo Wu: "If you want to stay overnight, I will move you a quilt."

"Okay!" Gojo Satoru happily agreed.

Anyway, he has a lot of houses outside, and he doesn't often rest at his home, it doesn't matter where he lives.

——Then why don't you live at Kitazawa's house! !

You can also have breakfast tomorrow!He can assure you that this curse spirit definitely made [Osechi Cuisine]!

A top chef, and a top chef who dotes on children, Gojo Satoru is looking forward to the [Osechi Cuisine] of the Kitazawa family.

So Uno nodded and went back to the second floor to bring him a spare quilt.

"Speaking of which, I have long wanted to ask—"

Standing in the living room, Gojo Satoru bent down to look at Sachiko's mother's tablet, and the food enshrined on the table was still there.The young conjurer with white hair and blue eyes raised his finger after Usao was born, and asked curiously, "Who is this Sachiko?"

The tablet of Sachiko's mother does not have a surname, only the three characters Sachiko.

Sachiko's mother, who was trapped by Tsurumi's family and was like a canary, was finally able to get rid of Tsurumi's surname after her death and turned into a free bird.

At first Gojo Satoru thought it was the mother of Chacha or Hui, but later found that this tablet seemed to be closely related to the curse spirit itself.

Uno glanced at it, and after a long silence, he said slowly, "It's a human woman who has taken care of me and taught me human knowledge."

The curse spirit concealed most of the truth.

It's not that he doesn't trust Gojo Satoru, on the contrary, Uo has already regarded this willful but not bad-hearted young magician as one of his own.

The other party is also a good boy, but he is naughty by a million points.

But it is also because of this-Uosheng does not want to tell the other party about his past.

Because Gojo Satoru has a lot of opinions on the high-level people in the magic world and the old-fashioned families, and he can't understand their unscrupulous behavior for their own interests, and they don't even know how to hide their attitudes.

On the one hand, he didn't want the other party to be angry for him, and on the other hand, he was worried that Gojo Satoru would do something big after learning about the Tsurumi family.

Uno sighed: To reform, the old forces cannot be completely eliminated. After all, the old forces still occupy half of the sky in the magic world, so it has to be done slowly and gradually.If it gets too rigid, it will not be good for Wujo's way of understanding the future.

Therefore, the curse spirit chose to hide everything.

Just like treating your own children.

"Eh... that's it."

Wu Tiao Wu responded casually, but in his heart it was not the case.

Sachiko.

...human females.

He firmly remembered the name, and then turned his head to look at the back of Mr. Curse Spirit, and a subtle guess came to his mind.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Notes 1-4, the setting of the original novel.

Note 5: There are two theories about Zhongye’s life experience, one is that Zhongye is one of the clones, and the second is that Zhongye is the ontology. The original novel did not explain it directly. Both guesses are believed by people and the logic is logical. However, the first theory seems to be more widely spread.The little angel who thinks that the middle is the main body may be at a loss. Gu Gu will explain again in a unified way: out of the needs of the plot, Gu Gu chose the first possibility, that is, the middle is also an artificial human for the second setting.
