In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
The Island Nation is the country where jujutsu phenomena occur most frequently.
Outside the Island Nation, the appearance of Jujutsu Sorcerers and Cursed Spirits is far less common than within it.
Last winter, Eiji went abroad once to confirm this situation.
Except for Heroic Spirit Emiya, who acted alone, the other two Heroic Spirits went with Eiji.
After investigating several major countries and making some investments along the way, the three returned to the Island Nation.
It was also during that trip abroad that Medea confirmed one thing.
There was only one reason why the incidence of jujutsu phenomena in the Island Nation was far greater than in other countries.
Master Tengen's barrier.
Cursed Energy originates from human negative emotions, and as these negative emotions spread, they continue to dissipate into the surroundings.
In many places, the Cursed Energy eventually becomes too dilute to form Cursed Spirits and naturally disappears.
This is because the area inhabited by humans is very small compared to the total area of this world.
Eiji remembered reading an article on Zhihu in his past life.
It stated that the land area currently inhabited by humans only accounts for 3% of the Earth's land area.
There is also such a vast uninhabited space for Cursed Energy to dissipate.
But the Island Nation is different.
The Island Nation has Master Tengen's barrier.
Although Master Tengen's barrier does not actively gather Cursed Energy, it prevents the Cursed Energy within the Island Nation from scattering outwards.
At the same time, Cursed Energy drifting in from the outside is also retained.
A small land area, a large population, and a high-pressure society.
With such a vast amount of Cursed Energy unable to scatter outwards and all of it gathering on the small land of the Island Nation, it is natural that a large number of Cursed Spirits and Jujutsu Sorcerers would be born.
Because of this, the Cursed Energy system operates extremely smoothly in the Island Nation.
But it's different abroad.
Many places abroad are sparsely populated, and the generation of Cursed Energy is not high.
Therefore, the operation of the Cursed Energy system is not flexible.
This feeling is like the Island Nation has a giant signal transmitter, and you can connect to the Wi-Fi named Cursed Energy System from anywhere in the Island Nation.
But abroad, due to the sparse population, the signal of the Cursed Energy System Wi-Fi is very weak.
Therefore, once Riko Amanai leaves the Island Nation, the causality generated by Cursed Energy between the Star Plasma Vessel and Master Tengen becomes even more ephemeral.
To completely sever this causality, Eiji even had Toji Fushiguro, who had jumped out of the Cursed Energy system, exploit a bug.
Almost all living beings in this world have Cursed Energy.
Even animals have a faint trace of Cursed Energy within them.
Mei Mei's Black Bird Manipulation, Kamikaze, is a suicidal attack that removes the weak Cursed Energy restriction within animals and then controls crows.
Therefore, regardless of the form of death of the Star Plasma Vessel, the causality of the Cursed Energy system will continue to operate.
But Toji Fushiguro's situation caused this precise system to encounter a bug.
Toji Fushiguro is someone who is not bound by Cursed Energy causality, but the causality of the Cursed Energy system suddenly broke at this moment, and it could not understand what had happened.
If this system had a maintenance worker, it would be fine.
It would simply proceed to the next step, allowing the next Star Plasma Vessel to continue assimilating with Master Tengen.
But the Cursed Energy system does not have one; it is like a cold machine, constantly trying to complete the current task.
It attempts to lock onto Toji Fushiguro, the cause of the Star Plasma Vessel's death, through the causality of Cursed Energy.
And then the system completely froze here.
Because it could not lock onto Toji Fushiguro, but being rigid, it kept trying to lock on.
Because of this, Master Tengen discovered that the causality on his body had been interrupted.
He no longer needed to assimilate with the Star Plasma Vessel.
Believing this to be fate, Master Tengen did not activate a backup Star Plasma Vessel and instead directly abandoned assimilation with the Star Plasma Vessel.
"I see, Riko Amanai is finally free."
Under Eiji's explanation, the others also understood Riko Amanai's situation.
"That's right."
Eiji nodded.
"This ship has a barrier set up by Medea that isolates all external Cursed Energy interference. Once Master Tengen begins to evolve, the Star Plasma Vessel will no longer be needed, and Riko Amanai will be free then."
"Are you so sure Master Tengen won't assimilate with another Star Plasma Vessel?"
"No."
"Oh?"
Satoru Gojo's Six Eyes, hidden beneath his sunglasses, showed a look of interest.
"I've wanted to ask you for a while, Eiji..."
Gojo, who had been lounging with his legs crossed, put them down and leaned forward, adopting a posture that exuded pressure as he moved closer to Eiji.
"How do you know so much?"
Gojo looked down at Eiji's eyes from above.
The scrutiny from the Six Eyes made one incredibly tense.
"Gojo."
Eiji met Gojo's gaze directly, without flinching.
"Do you know about Future Sight?"
Eiji offered the answer he had prepared long ago.
Besides, seeing the future in advance was also a form of Future Sight.
"Future Sight? Isn't that a power from novels and games?"
Suguru Geto stroked his chin.
"I remember your works also had settings about Future Sight, I think they were divided into prediction and measurement types."
"Oh, so it's a Jujutsu that can see the future."
Gojo leaned back, returning to his seat.
"In the future you saw, what was the outcome?"
He's asking about that now?
Eiji felt a warmth spread through his chest.
The many explanations he had prepared seemed unnecessary.
His best friend believed him so completely.
"Riko Amanai died, at Kurokoshi-gu."
Eiji raised his right hand, forming a gun shape towards Suguru Geto.
"The moment before Suguru Geto intended to take Riko Amanai's hand and lead her to freedom, Toji Fushiguro shot her in the head."
Eiji made a shooting gesture towards Suguru Geto.
Suguru Geto's eyes widened instantly.
He remembered the situation at Kurokoshi-gu.
When he had asked Riko Amanai about her feelings.
The man who appeared silently behind Riko Amanai, without any fluctuation of Cursed Energy.
If he were to ambush and shoot Riko Amanai...
Suguru Geto knew he wouldn't be able to stop it.
"Tch, fate really has a twisted sense of humor."
Gojo clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Hey, Geto."
Gojo turned his head and called out to the stunned Suguru Geto.
"Don't worry about things that haven't happened."
Seeing Suguru Geto's expression grow increasingly troubled, Gojo knew that Geto could easily get stuck in his own head, so he comforted him in his own way.
"Yeah, you're right. There's no need to agonize over things that haven't happened."
Suguru Geto's expression returned to normal, and he then looked up at Eiji.
"In the future you saw, what happened to me?"
"Stronger than Gojo... but not by much."
"You used Rainbow Dragon to directly confront Toji Fushiguro, but you didn't know Toji Fushiguro had the Soul Release Blade, which ignores hardness. Rainbow Dragon was cut in half."
"Then you tried to use Slit-Mouthed Woman to inflict damage on Toji Fushiguro, but Toji Fushiguro has zero Cursed Energy, so the Domain Expansion's sure-hit was ineffective."
"Next, you planned to subdue the Cursed Spirit that was acting as Toji Fushiguro's arsenal, but because you didn't know that Cursed Spirit had already pledged allegiance, your attempt failed, exposing your weakness, and you were eventually cut down by Toji Fushiguro."
Eiji briefly summarized Suguru Geto's fate.
