Kenjaku went around a dozen villages, recording the rate at which hypothetical Cursed Spirits formed in each one.
Most of the Cursed Spirits were still in the Cursed Womb state.
However, the octopus Cursed Spirit was the first to fully hatch and reach Special Grade.
After a period of careful research, Kenjaku discovered that while these cthulhu-esque Cursed Spirits formed faster, they also rendered people useless.
Literally.
In most other villages, many people affected by Cursed Spirits were, at most, frightened or fell ill.
But in the village where experiments based on the cthulhu style were conducted, about half the people had already gone insane.
Many others were mentally unstable, clearly on the verge of madness.
One could say that in the entire village, the sane individuals were the anomalies.
Furthermore, the people in this village could no longer participate in other hypothetical experiments.
Because their minds already belonged to the great cthulhu, there was no room for anything else.
After confirming the situation in this village, Kenjaku stopped dwelling on it, designating it as the experimental site for cthulhu-type Cursed Spirits and no longer using it for other Cursed Spirit research.
Amidst a chorus of loud rooster crows, the sun slowly rose.
Warm sunlight blanketed the earth.
Yet, it could not dispel the shadows in the hearts of the people within the barrier.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Come in," Kenjaku called out casually upon hearing the knock.
"Lord Kamo, this is your package."
An old man, with fear in his eyes, respectfully presented a box.
"Put it there, then leave."
"Yes."
The old man gently placed the box on a nearby table, then exited the room.
Only then did the old man let out a sigh of relief.
In the eyes of this superstitious Indian elder, his new employer was practically the Reincarnation of the Devil King.
Not only did many terrifying things happen wherever he went, but even they, the villagers, had their freedom taken away by the new employer through a witchcraft called 'binding'.
They could only carefully serve Kenjaku to avoid suddenly dying a strange death one day.
Inside the house, Kenjaku, feared by the people, had long grown accustomed to this feeling.
In ancient times, many people feared him as if he were a god or a demon.
Even in modern times, many still regarded Jujutsu Sorcerers as the Reincarnation of deities, Saints, and so on.
After organizing the latest experiment records, Kenjaku opened the box on the table.
Inside the box were several file folders.
On top was a summary.
This summary briefly described various events, big and small, that had occurred in the island nation over the past month, and it included a table of contents.
"That guy also became a teacher?"
Kenjaku quickly found what interested him.
Following the guide in the table of contents, he located the file folder containing information on Eichi, Gojo Satoru, and other key individuals of interest.
Kenjaku took out Eichi's movements for the past month.
The description of Eichi's whereabouts in the document was unusually detailed.
As one of the strongest Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers, coupled with the financial resources he had amassed from knowing the general direction of events, a great many people now followed Eichi.
Therefore, it was not easy for the Kamo Family to investigate Eichi's detailed movements.
At most, it would be a few brief sentences like "He did such-and-such in such-and-such a place on that day."
But this time was different.
Because High School was easier to enter and exit, and people from various factions were present, obtaining information was much simpler.
After all, the influential figures at High School might all be from the Yaga Masamichi and Eichi factions.
However, there were also many ordinary workers and teachers who held no real power.
"He really did become a teacher," Kenjaku said, looking at the description in the document with some novelty, but after seeing the student list, Kenjaku understood.
Eichi taught a total of six students.
Among them, Maki Zenin and Mai were personally groomed by Eichi after he purged the Zenin Clan.
Initially, many rumors circulated about Eichi and the two girls, but these rumors dispelled themselves when the two displayed extraordinary talent.
Many people then began to mock Ogi Zen'in, who had regarded his two daughters as useless.
Rika Orimoto was adopted by Eichi.
Therefore, Rika Orimoto and Yuta Okkotsu could also be considered Eichi's Family.
Although Panda was a cursed corpse, Panda had self-awareness and was very familiar with Eichi and the four people mentioned above.
Looking at it this way, out of the six students this year, five were related to Eichi.
Therefore, it was understandable that Eichi, who had always been a nominal presence and never participated in teaching, suddenly returned to High School seriously as a teacher.
However, Kenjaku was not concerned with whether Eichi was a teacher or not, but whether Eichi was permanently stationed at High School.
Turning to the next page, Kenjaku received exciting news.
In the past month, Eichi had spent 27 days at High School and 3 days on missions.
With his thoughts confirmed, Kenjaku was very happy.
Because he could finally return to the country.
Did he really think he wanted to hide in Foreign countries?
It was all because Eichi, who ran all over the island nation, would often drop by local Jujutsu management departments or Jujutsu Sorcerer Families.
Then he would casually ask if that Curse User with the stitches on his head had been found.
The crucial thing was that Eichi was also very generous; when visiting Jujutsu Sorcerer Families, he would give them experimental cursed tools made by Medea and Tamamo-no-Mae.
When visiting relevant departments, he would sponsor some funds.
Otherwise, did you think those working individuals below, responsible for finding people, were really so idle that they would spend several years chasing after a stitched terrorist?
It was always because a leader would come down to inspect and then ask, "Has that guy with the stitches on his head been found?"
Otherwise, he, Kenjaku, would have returned to the island nation long ago.
After confirming that Eichi was finally no longer relentlessly pursuing him, Kenjaku could return to the country with peace of mind.
Compared to that, Gojo Satoru's information was still a thin piece of paper, just as before.
The content basically described what missions Gojo Satoru had performed, where he bought what sweets, and how many edamame cream kiku fuku he had eaten this month.
The missions were issued by the Jujutsu Headquarters, and they could easily find them with a quick search.
Buying sweets was one of the few things they could observe about Gojo Satoru's movements.
No other reason; Gojo Satoru was too fast.
In places with many obstacles, he would use Blue to shorten the distance between himself and the target location, traveling through multiple instantaneous movements.
In places with few obstacles, he would directly use Red to launch himself like a cannon.
Of course, occasionally, he would also use Red to travel through places with many obstacles, experiencing both speed and passion.
Occasionally, when traveling by car, he would be in Ieiri Kiyotaka's car.
They couldn't get any useful information from Ieiri Kiyotaka.
Later, the Kamo Family members responsible for gathering intelligence also gave up.
They would occasionally copy the mission directory from the Jujutsu Headquarters.
If they felt it was too little, they would notify the Kamo Family's dessert shop to offer a discount on edamame cream kiku fuku, then wait for Gojo Satoru to show up.
They would capture a photo from the surveillance, and voilà, another movement record!
The remaining documents, like Gojo Satoru's movements, were all similar, with no particular highlights.
However, one piece of intelligence caught Kenjaku's attention.
The Jujutsu Headquarters suspected the existence of a Special Grade Cursed Spirit with intelligence.
Since the target always disappeared whenever the subjugation team arrived, its specific identity could not yet be determined.
"After being away for so long, some interesting things have appeared in the island nation."
