Back in the room, Aio and Megumi sat dreadfully round the table. She sat leaning on the table her hands slightly stretched outwards. Megumi was in a much more confused state. He too leaned forward and covered his face with his hands.
After a long while, Megumi pulled off his hands and took a deep breath. He looked at Aio and asked her
"Where is he?"
"He is taking a walk through the spaceship." She replied softly and continued with hesitation "Megumi sama you do realise that there is a change in him that is not natural"
Before we go any further let me explain the appearance of the reborn Satarou Gojo. He was as tall as he was before, and his physique was nearly the same if not a bit leaner. However he now has four long thin arms. His face had no nose or mouth but a diagonally placed eye that mostly remained close. He lacks that characteristic white hair. Just at the left side of his chest was a much larger eye, slightly diagonally placed. And each palm of his hand had an eye. In total he had six eyes all over his body. All of these eyes were generally kept close. His whole body was of a poor greyish green colour.
"I know Aio, something had gone wrong. But it wasn't Hami's fault. She had done her task sincerely" Megumi spoke lifting his head up and facing her.
"I know it. But he should have been left as a cursed object. Why has he manifested into a living being and let alone there are traces of negative energy circulating in his body" she inquired.
"It was due to the intervention of a ghoul" Megumi replied blankly.
[Ghoul a very rare kind of curse. Information regarding them is scant. A ghoul is formed when a curse spirit takes over the body of a deceased person. Though the spirit needs to be weak enough not to overload and cause the body to explode. After properly housing itself inside, the negative energy revitalizes the life processes once again. The curse could even take over the techniques of the deceased but whether it can access memories is still unknown.
During the culling game and Shinjuku showdown, the affected areas were littered with corpses. Perhaps this overabundance of deceased vessels favoured curses that can make good use of them. Though these curses can freely pass through the curtains laid around Tokyo, they prefer to stay inside; perhaps out of ignorance of their ability. They show all behavioural characteristics of a typical curse.]
"A ghoul may have sneek passed sensing all that powerful energy and ate up the eye. Since Gojo had gigantic reserves of curse energy it started dispelling the curse's negative energy, however that weakened the vessel that was being held by the curse. I think the curse spirit lost its individuality and diffused all over the body, keeping it in shape while Gojo energy morphed it into its suit. But still they are far from harmony, there is a constant cancelling out of energy inside the body. God knows what will happen next" Megumi sighed and stretched his back against the chair.
"So the curse and Gojo are in some kind of symbiosis like your um ... late wife" Aio asked.
"No it is not like Hana's condition. She and angel were in a mutualistic partnership, but here I see a conflict over control" Megumi spoke gravely with a tinge of doubt.
For a long time he remained quite, it seems he was deeply pondering something. Then he quickly turned towards Aio and with a delighted face spoke
"Ha ha ha. Do you know Aio we have been tricked! The eye wasn't of Satorou Gojo but of Yuta Okkotsu"
" I don't understand Megumi sama. How can so many individualities be cooped up in one body. There was the curse spirit and Gojo earlier and now Okkotsu. I can't wrap my head around it" Aio complained.
"I too was confused at first. The eye gave off a bit of a different curse energy, but I assume it to be preservation effects. But it was the energy of Yuta senpai" Megumi explained.
"But the ritual was still a success. Without a doubt the one residing in the body is Satarou Gojo. Sensei once told me that he and Yuta were very distantly related. Maybe this is the reason why Okkotsu's eye didn't reject Gojo sensei's soul" Finnally he knew what had truly occured.
At that very moment the door opened and there was Hami. She was sweating and panting for air. With long drawn words she said.
"Dabura and Gojo sensei are going all out against each other. Sanso is also with them"
