The system couldn't help but complain: "Host, your naming style... is truly quite 'concise'."
Gojo Satoru shrugged his shoulders and didn't refute anything. He recalled the black history of taking twenty or thirty minutes struggling over a character's name every time he played a game before crossing over, and suddenly felt that doing it this way now wasn't bad either.
After successfully creating the first cursed corpse with self-awareness, Gojo Satoru was full of interest and decided to strike while the iron was hot. He summoned three more cursed corpse models, using the same method to inject cursed energy cores and Life Talismans in order.
Yuki stood quietly on one side, planning to wait for the family head's orders at any time.
Not long after, he possessed three new "companions."
The second cursed corpse was also a young man in appearance, but had a head of fiery red short hair. His features were bright and handsome, with the corners of his mouth naturally curving up, as if ready to show a bright smile at any moment. Like a loyal large dog, he possessed an amazing sense of friendliness.
"Greetings, Lord Head! Please believe me, I will definitely be your most loyal servant!"
Gojo Satoru named him "Kaze."
The third cursed corpse was slightly different. He had short brown hair and was a gentle, harmless-looking middle-aged uncle. However, he always squinted his eyes slightly, carrying a lazy look as if he might fall asleep at any second, making people associate him with a quiet night.
"Please feel free to give orders, Lord Head... but, can I get more days off?"
Gojo Satoru gave him the name "Tsuki."
The last one was a cursed corpse with a female image. Her long pink hair was tied into a neat ponytail with a flower hair accessory. Her smile was sweet and full of energy, and her cute appearance like an underground idol was enough to win the favor of most people.
"Lord Head, I will work hard and strive to be of help to you!"
She was naturally "Hana."
At this point, the four-person cursed corpse team made up of "Kaze," "Hana," "Yuki," and "Tsuki" was officially born.
Yes, the names were just that simple and casual.
The four stood together, looked at each other, and suddenly went down on one knee to salute Gojo Satoru, speaking in unison with implicit understanding:
"We hereby swear, from the moment of birth until the end when awareness fades, every minute and every second we live, we will pledge our loyalty to the Lord Head without reservation, unwavering in this resolve—"
Hiss, this was truly exaggerated.
Although the system had guaranteed long ago that these cursed corpses possessed unquestionable loyalty, when experiencing it in person, Gojo Satoru still felt that this unreserved dedication was a bit heavy. Even among the clansmen who had believed in the Six Eyes for decades, few could show such pure devotion without any mixed thoughts.
Gojo Satoru could feel more clearly than anyone else the unquestionable loyalty and dependence coming from the core of the cursed corpses' souls. They seemed to tie the entire meaning of their existence to him alone.
This purity made Gojo Satoru, who had always been playful and cynical, feel a slight ripple in his heart.
Therefore, his tone couldn't help but become solemn. "Your oath... I have received it."
"Since you entrust your lives to me, then I will also take on the corresponding responsibility."
"After all, trust goes both ways, doesn't it?"
The white-haired youth reached out his hand, patting gently on the shoulders of Kaze, Hana, Yuki, and Tsuki in order: "Let's witness together... the meaning of our existence in this world."
The newly born cursed corpses couldn't fully understand the deep meaning behind his words for the time being, but that didn't stop them from expressing agreement.
"Yes! Lord Head!"
Looking at the four heads with different hair colors bowing low before him, Gojo Satoru suddenly realized something.
"Wait... I got a bit too excited when pinching faces just now. Yuki aside, aren't the hair colors and good looks of the remaining few guys a bit too eye-catching?"
"I wonder if it's too late to put them back in the furnace and remake them..."
In the end, Gojo Satoru gave up on this plan.
"So what if they're eye-catching? There's no helping it, those are kids under my command. Being a bit outstanding is completely normal, right Tongzi?"
"...I suggest Host put your own thick skin back into the furnace and remake it instead."
Gojo Satoru pretended not to hear, waving his hand to order the robot maid on the side: "Tama~ please take the four of them to get familiar with the environment, and while you're at it, teach them the common sense of human society so they can blend into the crowd better."
"I will arrange the specific ability development and division of tasks later."
"Yes, Lord Head."
Tama accepted the order, and then showed a rare gentle smile to the four cursed corpses: "New coolies... oh no, companions, please follow me."
Kaze, Hana, Yuki, Tsuki: Hey hey, coolies! You just said coolies, right?!
Watching Tama lead the four out of the workshop, Gojo Satoru cast his gaze toward the remaining three models, and then took out one of them.
This time he didn't shape a human form again, but with a thought, shaped it into the form of a raven. Pitch-black feathers, sharp eyes, and a body size similar to an ordinary crow commonly seen in Japan, yet radiating an exceptionally mysterious aura.
Gojo Satoru skillfully injected the cursed energy core and the Life Talisman into it.
Soon, the raven cursed corpse opened its crimson eyes, fluttered its wings, flew onto Gojo Satoru's extended arm, and affectionately rubbed its beak against his finger.
Possessing the flying ability of birds, plus the strong battery life as a cursed corpse, it was enough to make it an all-pervasive "surveillance camera."
As for why it had to be a raven instead of a smaller sparrow...
It could only be said that looking cool was a lifelong pursuit.
"In the future, you will be responsible for gathering intelligence in the dark. Go take a look at the hidden corners of this city, listen to those unknown voices... and when necessary, monitor certain targets for me." Gojo Satoru said to the raven, "Your name will be 'Wataru'."
"Caw—I understand, Master."
Wataru let out a low, raspy cry and nodded to show understanding. Mm... as expected, placed on a small animal, calling him "Master" felt completely normal.
Looking at the obedient Wataru on his arm and the remaining two cursed corpse models, Gojo Satoru thought for a moment and decided not to continue making them for now.
"I'll leave the rest for now, just in case of an emergency."
