ShibuyaQuick answer
Beat a curse down, then hold E on the contain prompt over it until it says contained. Containment is a separate action after the kill. Hand the contained curse in to Agent Hoshino at HQ for Merit (the lab) or Sin (Black Net). Press J if you would rather devour a contained curse.

Step by step
- Take a Soul Ignite mission at the blue ring or buy Containment Ofuda from Agent Hoshino (his second dialogue option).
- Weaken a cursed spirit's health bar. A Brute is the example the guides use.
- Hold E on the contain prompt until it shows contained.
- Return to Agent Hoshino and pick the specimen option.
Where guides differ
shibuyacodes.org says the Soul Ignite drop is Brute Tooth x1, while BloxRant says three contained curses get you Soul Ignites. We read both as parts of the same loop but haven't confirmed it in game.
Tips
- Stock up on Ofuda before you leave HQ.
- Put yen into containment sheets before cosmetics.
- Don't take reckless fights while you carry a contained curse.
