In the blink of an eye, the scenery before him underwent a drastic change. The luxurious hotel surroundings turned into a dim prison cell. The things around him changed from a few delicate bodies to dirty, foul-smelling ones.
Just as Alex was wondering what had happened.
Clang!
The sound of a metal rod striking metal startled Alex, and his body instinctively trembled. This body was extremely fearful of this sound, having developed a conditioned reflex.
Moments later, a few tall, strong black men emerged from the light, passing some turbid, viscous liquid into each metal cell.
When they reached Alex's cell, one of the black men said:
"Huh, boss, this one's still alive. It got the resilience of a cockroach."
The boss, a bald man covered in menacing tattoos, glanced coldly at Alex and then warned his subordinates:
"Don't touch him for now. The trading time is coming up. If he dies, the organs won't be fresh, and the price will drop significantly."
"Yes, yes, I understand..."
The subordinate quickly nodded and bowed, indicating his compliance, then gave Alex a vicious look. He subconsciously touched the wound on his palm and gritted his teeth:
"Kid, you're lucky this time..."
...
'Organ trafficking!'
As the group left, Alex immediately understood what was going on from their few words. Afterward, he felt an intense pain in his brain as a flood of broken memory fragments surged into his mind.
The original owner of this body was also named Alex, Alex Locke, an ordinary college student. About a month ago, he suddenly awakened to a mutant ability and used it to escape unscathed from a burning building.
Although he survived the disaster, there was no subsequent good fortune. A few days later, his parents discovered his mutant ability and, despising it, kicked him out of the house.
He was then pursued by a mysterious organization and was accidentally abducted by gang members from Hell's Kitchen, ending up in this unknown underground prison.
The black man was the one who captured him. During the resistance, Alex almost bit off a piece of the man's flesh. Because of this, the man took extra 'care' of him.
Looking at his scar-covered skin under his shirt, which was festering and still oozing blood, Alex guessed the original owner had died because of this.
However, this wasn't the most severe crisis at the moment. In a week, the gang would trade with other underground organizations, and this batch of 'goods' would be slaughtered like livestock for their organs.
Moreover, this world was the one he was familiar with: mutants, Stark Industries—wasn't this the extremely dangerous Marvel universe?
Even if he survived the upcoming crisis, how could he escape the universe-threatening snap afterward?
Alex didn't want to gamble on a fifty-fifty chance!
Also, was this the movie world or the comic world? If it was the movie world, there might be a chance to struggle, but if it was the comic world...
Alex shivered instinctively.
As for the original owner's superpower...
If his superpower were strong, he wouldn't have been abducted by the underground gang!
His ability is energy absorption, much like Sebastian Shaw's power. However, after the initial emotional awakening, the power's intensity decreased significantly. He couldn't even fully absorb the kinetic energy of a punch, let alone bullets or mutant abilities.
What use is such a weak power?
Alex felt despair; he had just transmigrated to this world and was already about to die. He had been living well in his previous life, so why did he suddenly appear here?
Amid his intense unwillingness, a voice sounded in Alex's ear.
"Congratulations, you have awakened the 'Multiversal Character Template System'!"
"You have obtained the character template: Gojo Satoru!"
"You have awakened the skill 'Six Eyes' lv1"
...
[Name: Alex
Template: Gojo Satoru
Energy Absorption lv1 (78/100): Can absorb most forms of energy, but absorption speed and storage capacity are low.

Energy Points: 0
When the template fusion rate reaches 100%, you will receive a new character template!]
Alex immediately felt different. He could see a 360-degree view around him with extraordinary clarity, even seeing dust particles in the air.
Additionally, there were blue lines intertwining in his vision, with the ends of the lines leading to the dim wall lamp behind him.
Clearly, he was seeing electrical currents, which was an effect of 'Six Eyes' allowing him to see energy.
After experiencing this ability, Alex was overjoyed because the first character template he got was Gojo Satoru!
Even though Gojo Satoru's reputation had slightly decreased after recent events, he was still one of the top-tier characters in the 'Jujutsu Kaisen' world.
If he could obtain Gojo Satoru's abilities, even partially, he could easily escape from this prison.
The most important thing was, Gojo Satoru's abilities were incredibly cool!
After gaining the system, Alex immediately felt hopeful about his future. But the most pressing matter was to escape from the gang's prison.
At this moment, he heard heavy footsteps approaching. The same black man from before, whom he vaguely remembered was named Jim, came over.
Jim walked up to Alex's cell, gave him a vicious smile, and said in a low voice:
"Yo cocksucker, I didn't expect you to be so resilient. I'll let you live another day, and tomorrow I'll give you a proper 'welcome'!"
After saying this, he unzipped his pants and pissed into the bowl on the ground, filling it with a foul-smelling yellow liquid.
Seeing Alex's indifferent expression, as if looking at a dead man, made him exceptionally angry. The wound on his palm throbbed with pain.
However, remembering the boss's orders, he held back. He dared not disobey the boss, so he left with a parting threat.
Alex quietly watched Jim's back for a moment before looking away.
Seeing the yellow liquid and the murky gruel scattered on the ground, though the liquid hadn't splashed on him, he still moved back. He decided that he would properly 'welcome' this guy tomorrow!
Though he was hungry, Alex refused to drink the gruel contaminated with the yellow liquid. Instead, he started to explore his newly acquired abilities.
He shifted to a position that blocked the dim wall lamp with his body and, under the cover of his coughing, discreetly shattered the glass covering the lamp.
He hid the glass in his sleeve, then used his fingers to make contact with the lamp filament. Success or failure hinged on this!
After obtaining 'Six Eyes,' he felt he could control energy more precisely and sensed a change in his energy absorption ability.
When his fingers touched the filament, he absorbed the electricity and heat with precise energy control from 'Six Eyes,' while the energy points slowly increased.
[Energy Points +1]
[Energy Points +1]
[Energy Points +1]
[Energy Absorption Experience +1]
[Energy Absorption Experience +1]
[Energy Absorption Experience +1]
...
Time passed slowly as Alex used his body to shield the filament and continuously absorbed energy, channeling the acquired energy into the 'Gojo Satoru' character panel.
After a few hours, the system updated.
[Template Fusion Rate: 5%]
[New Skill Unlocked: Limitless Technique]
[Congratulations, your skill 'Energy Absorption' has leveled up!]
