Chapter 66 The Art of Life

"Holy crap, where did this come from?"

Chu Wuji felt a white blur before his eyes, and his body felt more unfamiliar and weak than ever before.

The voices around him were also indistinct, but surprisingly they weren't Japanese; instead, they were Chinese, which Chu Wuji knew all too well.

"The child...the lady...is bleeding heavily."

"Difficult birth...freak."

"Iris...it might be albinism..."

What is that?

Chu Wuji pieced together his current situation from the information he gathered from the outside world.

So this game starts right from the beginning?

Can't do anything by myself? Just wait to grow up?

Holy crap, isn't this a prison?

Can I skip it?

The moment Chu Wuji had this thought, he felt his vision suddenly shift to a third-person perspective.

Therefore, he was able to see that he was in a hospital, surrounded by doctors rushing around.

In the distance stood a man in an expensive suit, presumably the body's father, though his face was obscured. He didn't seem particularly concerned about the child, but rather knelt anxiously at the operating room door.

Based on the previous mentions of difficult childbirth, it seems that the mother of this body must have also encountered some problems.

Before Chu Wuji could continue looking, a black panel floated up.

[April 2001: You were born]

Wow, there are simulator elements too?

Chu Wuji continued watching, while the surrounding environment was changing rapidly.

[You were born with fair skin all over your body, but your pupils were a frightening plum red, and your canine teeth were much longer than those of other children. The doctor who delivered you diagnosed it as a special condition, unaware that it was a manifestation of the powerful force within your bloodline.]

[Due to a mistake by the attending physician, your mother suffered a fatal hemorrhage.]

[You turned one year old in 2002]

Your father developed a dislike for you after the blow of his wife's death, but you are her last legacy, so he has no choice but to take care of you.

In 2003, you were two years old.

After being weaned, you developed a slight craving for raw food and also a fear of light. Your father suspected you had porphyria and took you to the capital for treatment, but to no avail.

[In the same year, your father's depression gradually worsened.]

Upon seeing this, Chu Wuji's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, in the next message, Chu Wuji's guess came true.

In 2005, you were four years old.

Encouraged by your mother's portrait, your father took you to various parts of the world for treatment, flying over the United States, Germany, Switzerland, and South Korea. After technological methods proved ineffective, they finally heard of the legend of a Japanese sorcerer and came to Japan.

[Your illness worsened year by year and remained incurable. Your father believed his family was cursed. Under the influence of his deteriorating depression, he wrote a suicide note on a rainy night and jumped to his death.]

Chu Wuji discovered that people do laugh when they are extremely speechless.

So, does that mean you have to be an orphan?

In 2008, you were seven years old.

You were adopted by a friend of your father in Japan and lived in Chinatown, working as a helper at his restaurant. After occasionally eating a meal of spicy blood curd, your condition seemed to improve, and your body entered puberty.

In 2012, you turned eleven.

[That year, you witnessed a car accident where a little girl died a horrific death; half of her head was crushed.]

But you see a shadow seemingly crawling out of the pool of blood, grabbing the boy's foot by the roadside.

In 2014, you turned thirteen.

The family that adopted you died suddenly in their home one night. You escaped because you were out buying snacks. The Metropolitan Police Department's report stated that it was a home invasion robbery, and the perpetrator became violent after resisting.

But you know things aren't that simple, because on your way home that day you saw the same thing that happened in the car accident when you were eleven, only this time you saw it much more clearly.

You chased after it and killed it with a few punches.

At the same time, you discover that you seem to have the ability to control a power and release it in a unique way.

In 2017, you turned seventeen.

You inherited your father's and your adoptive family's wealth, and now you live a life of comfort, eating spicy blood curd at every meal.

[In this kind of life, you discover that your physical abilities far exceed those of ordinary people, and you can even easily break some athletes' world records.]

You disguised yourself very well, and didn't reveal anything about your unusual nature.

That same year, you passed by an elementary school and inadvertently saw a huge, unseen figure. Driven by curiosity, you sneaked into the school.

Not long after, you still hadn't found the enormous phantom, but suddenly the sky darkened.

Meanwhile, countless strange creatures emerged from every corner of the teaching building.

Chu Wuji was engrossed in reading when suddenly a red box, standing out from the other white dialog boxes, popped up.

[This involves crucial plot points. Do you want to skip ahead?]

"Key plot points?" Chu Wuji recalled.

Elementary school, Cursed Spirit, 2017—this should be the storyline of Yuuta Otsukoshi's first mission with Maki Zenin in the Jujutsu Kaisen prequel.

Although he was curious whether continuing to skip ahead would mean skipping life altogether, Chu Wuji still chose to enter the storyline.

As his gaze descended, Chu Wuji's perspective returned to his body. Looking ahead, he found himself in the corridor of an elementary school. Two strange, fleshy lumps with eyes were prying at the classroom door not far away, staring at him.

"I feel so much younger." Chu Wuji shrugged his shoulders, turned his hands around, and jumped around a bit to get used to his new body.

"It's gotten much weaker..."

If the real Chu Wuji could smash several classrooms like this with one punch, the current Chu Wuji might only be able to smash one wall with a full-force punch.

Ignoring the cursed spirits that were screaming and rushing towards him, Chu Wuji first calmed down and felt the cold, sinister power within his body that was completely different from the true qi.

"Is this the power of magic?"

Compared to true qi, curse power seems to be more suitable for a ghost's body. Chu Wuji only recalled his previous experience of getting a guaranteed reward in a gacha pull, and this negative emotion immediately extracted a huge amount of curse power.

"Let me see... The incantation power enhances the body, it feels almost like true qi, I wonder if I can use martial arts."

"Then the birth technique... I understand."

Seeing the two fleshy cursed spirits rushing towards him and almost touching his face, Chu Wuji casually threw a punch. With two muffled sounds that rang out almost simultaneously, the cursed spirits turned into ashes.

[Defeat two low-level cursed spirits, earn 0.2 points]

"Normally, it's not very effective... The essence of this technique should lie in the reversal."

Chu Wuji opened his special trait panel.

[Born with a Technique - Expectations Settled]

[Surgery Effect: Brings reality closer to mathematical expectation, meaning that no matter how absurd the process, the final effect will always converge to the average value]
