Chapter 3
The old man was very angry.
A middle-aged man with a buzz cut, two bars on both sides, and a beard similar to Tony Stark came towards Lian. Yes, this man was Ye Mo Zhengdao. He was very surprised to see Lian sitting on the pile of cursed spirits.
"Ahem, kid, are you a sorcerer?" Ye Mo Zhengdao asked.
"I guess so, but I just awakened my curse power, so I don't have a license." Lian said lightly.
"What? Just awakened my curse power, so you killed all these cursed spirits? How is it possible?!" Ye Mo Zhengdao said in surprise.
Although Lian knew about the anime Jujutsu Kaisen, she had not really studied it in detail. In her previous life, she only saw related videos when browsing X-station, so she did not recognize the uncle in front of her. After all, Lian preferred to watch anime with more beautiful girls.
Lian jumped down from the pile of cursed spirits, walked towards Ye Mo Zhengdao and said: "I was not a curser before, and I had never used cursed power. It was indeed awakened today."
Ye Mo Zhengdao was even more surprised. A newly awakened curser could actually kill so many cursed spirits, and based on the breath emitted by these corpses, he was sure that there must be cursed spirits above level 2. The boy in front of him looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. This was no longer a genius, but a monster, a monster like that guy!
Lian did not intend to hide his identity. After all, cursers could make money by exorcising spirits. After reading his own memory in this world, he knew that he was just an unlucky guy whose parents had died and who came to Kyoto to work hard and was accidentally involved in the cursed spirit incident. It's really too poor. If you can become a sorcerer, then the problem of money can be solved. Money is not omnipotent, but you can't live without money.
Yega Zhengdao also knew that he was a little out of control. After a dozen seconds, he said: "In this case, come with me later. In addition to investigating this incident, I will also register your identity as a sorcerer."
"Okay." Lian replied indifferently.
Two hours later, Yega Zhengdao dismissed the account and took Lian away from here. The next thing was the fire brigade and the sorcerer who stayed.
Yega Zhengdao took a look at the information handed to him by a subordinate just now. The content of the information was about Lian's identity information. After all, the necessary investigation was still necessary.
There was only one word in his name, Lian. His parents died early and he grew up in an orphanage. He just came to Kyoto last year.
"It seems that he really awakened to become a sorcerer today, but it's a bit too strange that he can kill such a strong cursed spirit just after awakening," Ye Mo Zheng Dao muttered to himself.
In addition to Lian's identity information, the incident investigation report was also handed over just now. There was one item in it that made him very concerned. The report said that the remains of a quasi-special-grade cursed spirit were found in the waiting area, and the head and body were separated, and it was torn off.
"If it was just a first-grade cursed spirit, it could be said that it was good luck, but special-grade cursed spirits are not something that ordinary sorcerers can deal with. Even if it is only quasi-special, a newly awakened sorcerer can actually tear the head of a quasi-special-grade cursed spirit off its body alive. In my opinion, no one except him can do it." Ye Mo Zheng Dao pinched his nose.
Ye Mo Zheng Dao looked back at Lian who had fallen asleep leaning on the back seat of the car.
"Forget it, let's just leave it like this for now. The more I think about it, the bigger my head is." Ye Mo Zheng Dao gave up thinking about this problem and prepared to continue dealing with this incident of cursed power.
…
Two months later, Lian was arranged by Yega Masamichi to attend an ordinary middle school in Kyoto. After all, she was still a little short of age, and the procedures were indeed a bit complicated, but the certificate of the sorcerer had been issued.
"Now there is a way to make money. Before going to the Jujutsu High School, I can take some private jobs and familiarize myself with the spells." Lian was walking home from school. He currently lives in a rental house arranged by Yega Masamichi.
"There are no strong attack-type spells at present. Although it is easy to deal with ordinary special-grade cursed spirits, it will be troublesome to encounter stronger ones." Lian lay on a stone and muttered to himself.
After throwing the backpack at home, he accelerated to the wilderness far away from the city. After all, to be familiar with the spells, it is not possible in crowded places.
The spells that Lian can currently use are only "Shock" and two curse seals engraved on the palms of both hands. The curse seal is the spell that this body originally has, and "Shock" is also the spell engraved on Lian's soul.
Lian's birth ritual is time. After injecting cursed energy into it, it can obtain the forward rotation ritual "Shu", which can speed up
Time, when used on oneself, can increase one's own speed, achieving an effect close to teleportation. You can also condense the spell and directly inject it into the body of the cursed spirit, just like the last time you dealt with the cursed spirit. It takes a certain amount of time to read the spell, so that you can accelerate the life of other creatures, otherwise it can only accelerate non-living things under normal circumstances.
"Curse Seal·喰" can absorb spells and transform them into cursed power for its own use. Simpler spells can be analyzed and copied, but the condition for use is that they must be touched. The power is too great or some family spells cannot be copied.
"Curse Seal·Yun" stores the cursed power absorbed and transformed by "喰" and strengthens its own spells and power. The strengthening effect is 150%, and it takes 15 minutes to cool down after using it once.
And Lian's eyes were named "Eye of the Moment" by him, and their abilities are to slow down time and predict the future. The effect of time slowing is similar to bullet time, allowing oneself to control the cursed power more finely and predict the enemy's actions. The future that can be predicted is only a few seconds.
"Looking at it this way, my spells can only strengthen and speed up time. Although I can use black flash and spell tools to make up for it, the damage caused when encountering enemies of the same level as me is not enough, but I won't lose." Lian sighed and said.
"I have to develop new spells." Lian sat up, patted his face with both hands and continued to develop spells.
After class every day, Lian would come here to study spells. Because there is no reversal spell, even if I can store spell power, it is not enough to hunt spell spirits alone. After all, I have no rating now and can only clean up some chicken spell spirits, so every time I practice for a short time, my spell power is exhausted.
The consumption of "Shock" is not that big, and it will not exhaust the spell power even if it is used continuously, but it is very consuming to use "Eye of the Hourglass" at the same time.
"I suddenly envy Gojo Satoru. Whether it's Cang or He, the consumption is very low. With the six eyes and the perverted limitless power, it's no wonder he can become the strongest. Although I'm not afraid of him, I won't lose even if I fight him, but I won't win either." He said to himself while lying on the stone.
Indeed, if there is no way to break through infinity, Gojo can't be defeated.
...
One year later.
"It's done, finally succeeded!" Lian laughed up to the sky, and in front of him was the ground and broken tree trunks that had been destroyed beyond recognition.
Finally, after several months of hard work, he finally developed a new technique, a new offensive technique!
"Humph, let's find an unlucky guy to experiment with." Lian put his hands together and said.
After sensing the surroundings, he finally found a place filled with cursed breath, which was an abandoned tunnel entrance, and then accelerated to reach the destination in an instant.
After entering the tunnel, the smell of the curse hit him in the face. If it were an ordinary sorcerer, he would probably tremble with fear, but Lian would not, because he is a cool guy.
Entering the deepest part of the tunnel, the breath of the curse became heavier and heavier, and a low roar came from the front of Lian.
Before the sound faded, a figure ran towards Lian at a high speed. It was a beast-shaped curse spirit with four legs on the ground.
"A second-level curse spirit? Although it is a little worse, it is enough as an experimental subject." Lian raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at the curse spirit running towards him at a high speed.
"But my target is you, special grade." Lian suddenly turned around and looked up, pointing the finger originally pointed at the four-legged curse spirit at the giant insect-shaped curse spirit clinging to the wall above the tunnel and preparing to pour venom to attack itself.
The insect curse spirit was stunned. It wanted to trick this human, but it was discovered. However, it didn't matter. Under the attack of itself and its companions, the human in front of it was already a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by itself.
The four-legged cursed spirit burst out with cursed power, releasing a fang-like air blade attack, and the insect cursed spirit followed closely, spraying venom, but Lian neither dodged nor fought back, but just stood still, still with a contemptuous smile on her face.
The air blade and venom hit Lian's position, raising a huge smoke. The two cursed spirits seemed to think that they had already won, but when the smoke dissipated, Lian disappeared, and there was no trace of being corroded by venom or hit by air blades, as if he had never appeared here.
The insect cursed spirit fell to the ground, and looked at each other with the beast-shaped cursed spirit, looking around, trying to find the missing Lian.
Suddenly, Lian appeared right above the two cursed spirits, and the cursed power condensed in her outstretched hand formed an irregular shape composed of several cubes randomly combined, which was extremely unstable. The surrounding space was distorted and broken by this terrifying cursed power. Even the strongest Gojo Satoru would probably be severely injured by this move.
"Annihilation."
As soon as Lian finished speaking, the already unstable spell instantly exploded, and the gray-white curse power quickly spread, engulfing the two cursed spirits and the surrounding space.
Swallowed in.
The originally stable space began to twist and deform, as if being kneaded by an invisible giant hand. All the materials in the area were ruthlessly torn apart, annihilated, and turned into nothingness.
"It's a bit too much, but it's an abandoned tunnel anyway, so it shouldn't matter."
Lian had already escaped, and at this moment he was floating in the air, looking down at the collapsed tunnel.
"The power is really good, even the space will be affected. Now I finally have a decent means of attack, although the reading time is a bit long." Lian said happily.
And not only that, in this year, as the number of times I used "Brake" increased, I became more and more proficient. Even after using the maximum power, I was able to skip the acceleration process and directly jump through time. During the jump, I could choose to delete the time that was not beneficial to me, so as to achieve the effect of avoiding attacks.
Just now, after "Annihilation" was activated, Lian used the time deletion to delete his own time and successfully escaped from the explosion range.
"Now all I have to do is wait. I'm really looking forward to the high school of spells!" Lian floated in the air, laughing foolishly.
At this moment, Lian has become the third strongest person in modern times!
