Summa[1]ry 11:
"I guess that's what awakened what you call my cursed energy."
"I am sorry that you had to witness that", Yuji said thinking of Junpei.
"Don't be, it is part of my job. But I can't say that I lived something worse than that" Sylvia said as she took off her glasses to clean them.
"So, you are saying that those same laboratories where we stepped in are holding human hostage and use them as experiments" Yuji said as he felt that powerless.
"I am afraid so, and unfortunately we can't just send our men, they'll only get killed"
"Laboratories that creates curses, doesn't that remind you of someone?" Kugisaki asked
"That can't be Kenjaku" Yuji said, "I would have felt his presence"
"And who could Kenjaku be?", Sylvia asked intrigued.
"An ancient sorcerer who survived for centuries by transplanting his brain from a body to another, he was also the creator of multiple cursed creatures, and you could say that I am one of them"
"Well, you must be a successful experiment looking at how human you look"
"Thanks, I got that from my father" he said smiling
"Oh, I thought that..." the woman of steel said
"Well technically Kenjaku is his mother, he took over the body of Yuji's mother to conceive him" Megumi explained, after that even the woman of steel couldn't help herself from feeling a bit disgusted by the whole experiment.
"I am still a completely normal being", Yuji said awkwardly smiling
"Powers like yours aren't exactly normal you know?", Sylvia added
"Then if it is not Kenjaku, I don 't understand, who could that be?" Kugisaki asked as she was thinking about every single person holding the same powers or obsession as the old sorcerer.
"I might have an idea" Megumi said as he was chin stroking.
"I know that you are supposed to be the smart guy, but how could even be able to solve this mystery?"
"Because I had a lot more conversations with Gojo than you had morons, you know that's not a competition, right?" he replied staring at kugisaki.
"Annoying brat" she replied as she was holding her fist.
"Gojo ones talked about a curse that the last strongest sorcerer of his clan created, decades ago, the same era where Kenjaku was not hiding at all."
"Tell me, what are young going to do when you'll defeat Sukuna, and overthrow the elders of the council?".
"Why do you want to know?" Gojo asked curious "Wait don't tell me that you want to stay with me forever?" Gojo asked as he was teasing him.
"Forget about it" Megumi said as he was leaving.
"Come back I was only joking", he replied.
"I'll take care of my family's business", he added with a big smile
"So, you'll take back your place as the head of the clan?".
"Absolutely not, I leave that to my grandmother, she is better at it than I could ever be"
"Achou" Ena sneezed as she was signing official papers.
"Actually, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't even take care of it" he added as he hunched over and crossed his two hands as he was staring at them.
"And what could that business be?".
"Decades ago, the most powerful sorcerer was the head of the Gojo clan, fearing for his clan after his death, he decided to create a curse that will protect them against the other families that wanted to take the clan's place. He then proceeded to create Okuno, a curse with all his abilities and powers, he instructed it to protect the clan. And that's what he did, but little by little the curse started consuming the clan's cursed energy and almost proclaimed himself the head of the clan."
"Why did he change all of a sudden?"
"Well let's say that a certain sorcerer that was fund of making experiments at the time, saw Okuno as an interesting one, he wanted to see how far the limits of a curse could go and of course he would have absorbed Okuno's powers for his own desires, but fortunately, two people of the clan Arima and Kouharu Gojo were able to destroy him, one of them had the sixth eyes, the other the power of limitless, by combining their technics and powers they were able to weaken him, he then tried to run away but the sorcerers of the clan found him after detecting the world where he was about to flee, but...
"But..."
Gojo sighted "When they tried to destroy and seal the curse, they noticed that one of his toes was missing. What a bunch of amateurs they couldn't even get the job done completely"
"So, you think that one of his toes is somewhere in another world? Or worse, it could have been eaten by someone" Fushiguro assumed thinking of Yuji.
That made Gojo burst into laughs.
"That wasn't even a joke", the young man added.
"Megumi" he said as he rested his hand on his head "In the future if anything happens to me, I would want you and the others to carry that vision to protect the youth, I want my grandmother's legacy to carry on, okay Megumi?" He said laughing
"Isn't that supposed to be your legacy?"
"Well let's say that it is both of us"
"Our master was supposed to come here and get rid of Okuno as a duty, and I think that Okuno didn't just transported us as baits, or to control his army, I think that there is more to it"
"Do you think that he brought you here so that you could help him be transplanted into a new body like this Konjaku? Do curses need a physical form to exist?"
"Not really, but it strengthen them, they become more than just curses, of course it depends on the body that they acquired and what kind of abilities they need from them" Yuji said
"Now that Gojo is dead he won't be able to gain those abilities, anymore"
"But wait a minute for him to know us, someone from our world must have given him all those informations, so he must know that Gojo is dead, so what's the point of bringing us here?"

As the veil of secrecy falls, she recounts a traumatic mission where a girl subjected to injections transformed and died, revealing a dark history tied to cursed energy.
