Edogawa Satoru who wanted to be a detective is not a good sorcerer
Chapter 39 [38] Defection
“The plan originally scheduled for Halloween has to be postponed.” The Curse Master said solemnly, “The real person was killed by Gojo Satoru.”
Luohu, Huayu and Tuogen were stunned.
Louhu couldn’t believe it: “Didn’t he go to meet that student? How did he get killed by Gojo Satoru?!”
Why is Gojo Satoru here? This mission should be completed by the first-year students of Tokyo Juu High School, right?
“Gojo Satoru was catching a traitor and happened to run into the real person. The place where Gojo Satoru’s magic attack hit was very clean, and it was impossible to tell whether the real person escaped or not – but I never waited for him.” The curse master had a blank expression on his face, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
Ever since he met Edogawa Ranpo, all his plans have been deviated to varying degrees.
On March 3, the teenager who bumped into him at the corner stopped him and asked, “Can I talk to you?” and then revealed all his original plans.
They got along quite well to some extent.
But Edogawa Ranpo should have died on April 4st, killed by the cursed spirit!
“In short, the situation has changed now. It is no longer possible to seal Gojo Satoru.” The curse master gritted his teeth, “Even if Gojo Satoru wants to gather the Gojo family to overthrow the curse world on November 11st, we can only postpone the plan for the 1st.”
Unfortunately, if Gojo Satoru’s plan to overthrow the Jujutsu world on November 11st succeeds, even if it is only half successful, it will not be easy to kill Gojo Satoru and his followers with the help of the high-ranking officials in the Jujutsu world.
First, they have to determine the weights in their hands.
Secondly, they want to increase the number of companions.
Finally, try to prevent Gojo Satoru from fighting alone as much as possible.
Ryoumen Sukuna’s subordinate, Rimei disagreed: “The prison gate is a minute in the brain. Gojo Satoru will become stronger and stronger. It will not be good for us to drag it on.”
Louhu: …That’s because you have never been beaten.
Without the real person present, although the cursed spirits’ goal has not changed, opinions are no longer unified.
The curse master touched his chin. He vaguely remembered what Edogawa Satoru had buried in the technical high school. Perhaps he could use it?
“First, find a time when Gojo Satoru is not in school and get the Nine Phases Diagram.”
–
Edogawa Satoru pointed to the most normal newspaper and said, “I was sent to an orphanage because I didn’t want to be adopted. The director of the orphanage wanted to molest me, so I was saved by a person with special abilities and came to Tokyo to look for my relatives.”
Yuji curled his lips, his eyes full of tears: “Wow, that’s a scumbag, Xiaowu, you must not take it to heart.”
Gojo Satoru drove the trio back to his ward, smiled and approached Edogawa Satoru, scanning his whole body with his six eyes: “Really, there is something that is not yours mixed with you, a vampire? That’s really interesting. By the way, Kugisaki said he wanted to tell me something before you fainted.”
“…No, it’s nothing.”
He didn’t know where to start, especially at this juncture when a traitor was caught. Wasn’t it pure stupidity to say that he had a connection with the curse master Zhu Ling in the past?
“Do you know who that man is?”
Edogawa Satoru shook his head.
“His name is Fushiguro Shiji, and he died twelve years ago.” Gojo Satoru found a flavor he didn’t like among the gifts, and threw the bag of bread to Edogawa Satoru. “The actions of the cursed spirits have been quite unusual recently – I found a lot of bombs in the basement of the school. Do you want to explain?”
Edogawa Satoru didn’t like the taste either, so he took it and put it aside.
Fushiguro Shinobu, Fushiguro, Fushiguro Megumi’s relative? They look so similar that he seems to be his biological father.
Died twelve years ago… Was it related to the astral plasma incident? Resurrected?
The cursed spirits’ actions are certainly abnormal, and they are eager to seal you.
bomb–
Xiaowu:!
Edogawa Satoru thought back to the things he had buried when he first came to the technical college. At that time, neither the cursers nor the sorcerers cared about him. In order to increase his leverage, he buried a lot of bombs in the ground when no one was at the technical college. The information of the bombs would be covered by the information of the soil, and if buried deep enough, they would not be discovered by the six eyes.
[How could I have forgotten this!]
Gojo Satoru put his arm on Edogawa Satoru’s shoulder, causing his heart to skip a beat. “What about that curse master you mentioned before you fainted?”
He opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth: “I allow you to think of a reason slowly.”
Gojo Satoru was lying on the hospital bed very relaxedly, pushing the patient Edogawa Satoru to a corner.
[Confess? Not confess?]
My brother revealed that his intention was to let the curse master seal Gojo Satoru. If I confess, will it have any impact on the plan to seal Gojo Satoru?
If he doesn’t confess, will he be able to walk out of this door alive today…
Think about it! Think about how to answer! ——
He swallowed unconsciously, and the pain of friction when his dry throat contracted awakened his respiratory system.
“But if you wait too long, the teacher will get angry~” Gojo Satoru put his thumb, ring finger and little finger together and gestured to Edogawa Satoru, “Don’t think I’m scaring you~”
“Are you crazy?!”
Launching “Cang” here will destroy all the technical colleges!
Gojo Satoru fiddled with his eyepatch, his tone asking for a beating: “It’s okay, even if the technical high school is destroyed, I have plenty of money to rebuild it.” He grabbed Edogawa Satoru, stripped off his coat, pulled off his sleeves, and pulled out the cursed spirit inside.
Edogawa Satoru:?!
[How did he find out? When did he find out? When I fainted? Was the power that encapsulated the cursed spirit interrupted?!]
Gojo Satoru shook the curse spirit, and the curse spirit spat out the finger of Ryomen Sukuna.
Edogawa Satoru widened his eyes: “Well, let me explain–“
Ahhh! What is there to explain? It is totally inexplicable!!! He now looks like someone who deliberately entered the Polytechnic to murder the Polytechnic!
The unorganized words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out, and Edogawa Satoru was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
He hasn’t figured out how to deal with the curse master, how to unlock the prison gate, or how to face his own life experience… Why did Gojo Satoru overturn the chessboard at this time!
He obviously.
He was clearly already trying hard.
My heart was pounding with regret and nervousness.
A black shadow flashed, broke through the glass of the ward window, stretched out his weapon and slashed at Gojo Satoru’s face, took the opportunity to snatch the cursed spirit from Gojo Satoru’s hand, turned around and picked up Edogawa Satoru and left.
“Oh, he showed up as expected.” Gojo Satoru looked at Edogawa Satoru who was casually caught by Fushiguro Shinobu, “Edogawa Satoru, was forced to defect!”
It’s just a tease, don’t be so nervous~
He teleported to Fushiguro Shige’s side: “Where should I take my lovely student?”
Fushiguro Shiori was not in a hurry: “Instead of caring about this, why not——”
Gojo Satoru didn’t hear what Fushiguro Shigeu said next as he bumped into the tent with a bang.
It is an account whose effect is faster than it can be seen. It is similar to the account used when invading Jugo at the previous Curse Spirit Exchange Conference. Both are set up with the condition of “rejecting Gojo Satoru”.
Gojo Satoru turned around.
cut.
It’s that group of cursed spirits again.
Is the target the warehouse in the Tianyuan barrier?
Gojo Satoru broke the trap very quickly, but Fushiguro Jiner escaped even faster with Edogawa Satoru.
“Kid, why don’t you ask stupid questions this time?”
Edogawa Satoru was unhappy.
What would his friends think of him?
If the three of them shouted “traitor” at him, he would definitely cry.
Is this the “punishment”?
Punish yourself for your previous actions that were inconsiderate and may have hurt others?
Xiao Wu’s mind was already playing the scene:
Fushiguro Megumi frowned and didn’t even want to look at him; Kugisaki snorted disdainfully; Itadori looked at him in silence, and finally looked away: “Traitor. You’re the one who made me die once, right?”
Ahhhhh!
Edogawa Satoru shook his head violently.
[Fushiguro Kugisaki Yuji and the others would never do that!]
[As long as I apologize properly——]
[What if I don’t forgive you even if I apologize?]
[If I explain and apologize, and then they see me teaming up with the curse master to seal Gojo Satoru, they will definitely…]
Fushiguro lowered his head and looked at the struggling Edogawa Satoru in his hands: “Little boy, you are too slow to think of escaping now, aren’t you?”
“I’m not slow…what are you taking me to do?”
Fushiguro Shier seemed to be taking an unusual path, jumping around on the roof. Looking down from above, the night was thick on the street, and the evening shift staff were setting up the show.
Ah… Halloween is coming in a few days. He has been with his classmates for more than three months.
“You know the curse master who captured you last time, right?”
Edogawa Satoru sighed, “Of course, but I don’t understand why he wants to arrest me. On paper, I should still be his ally.”
“Zureimin is dead. He needs something to hold Gojo Satoru back, such as you, and today’s attack on the high school to get the Nine Phases Diagram.” Fushiguro Shino relayed what Ranpo told him to Edogawa Satoru, “but his intelligence was wrong.”
Something wrong with the intelligence?
How could the curse master, a thousand-year-old fox with such a strong body odor, make such a mistake?
Fushiguro Shinobu didn’t know the details, so he said, you can go ask Gojo Satoru.
Xiao Wu: Thank you. I just defected and I don’t dare.
“What does my brother think?”
——“The sooner the better.”
Ranpo pointed at the subway station map and said, “To contain Gojo Satoru, we need to lower his vigilance, make him a burden without any help, catch him off guard by using the Prison Gate Border, and hold on to the Prison Gate Border. However, all his plans have been disrupted.”
“What I want is to seal Gojo Satoru, and the sooner the better.”
“From what you said, this plan is useless. How can we seal Gojo Satoru?”
“Huh?” Edogawa Ranpo tilted his head and asked in confusion, “Didn’t I tell you?”
Fuheishier:…
The memories ended, and Fushiguro Shinobu mentioned Edogawa Satoru and looked at him.
“Your brother said you know where the curse master is hiding.”
“How about we kidnap him?”
It was a question, but the tone was very affirmative.
Edogawa Satoru thought about it and patted his shoulder: “Let’s go!”
He is very unhappy now and wants to make others unhappy too.
Hopefully they haven’t changed their address.
Fuguro Shier knocked on the door, but no one answered. No one was there? He turned the handle, broke it, and pushed the door open. What he saw was the endless ocean, with only a cursed spirit swimming in it.
Because other cursed spirits and curse masters are robbing the high school, I wonder if they can succeed with Gojo Satoru around?
The moment the cursed spirits discovered Gojo Satoru in school, they changed their strategy. Although they did not get the Nine Phase Diagram, they kidnapped Lord Tengen.
“Togen?!” The other side found something wrong. The tent of the base was destroyed and the living area inside disappeared.
“How lucky.” Edogawa Satoru said, “They are injured. You can definitely succeed.”
Fushiguro Shier walked down from the dead Togen and said, “Why not just kill them all? It will make things much simpler.”
“We can’t let Tuogen die in vain!” Louhu’s eyes fell on Tuogen who was about to break into pieces.
They turned and fled.
This won’t do. Fushiguro Shigeru stepped forward, kicked Louhu and Hanami away, and slapped the curser on the head: “How rude! I came to join you, you can’t treat a guest like this!”
The curser: “Let go!” and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
Damn customer! Louhu cursed. Then he was kicked away by Shen’er.
“I have joined you. Can I borrow your personal headquarters?”
Hanami turned his head and rushed over to Edogawa Satoru who was watching a play. Edogawa Satoru walked on the stones, supporting his chin with one hand, and boredom flashed in his eyes.
[Those who bully the weak and useless, can you please die?]
“I really hate fighting.” Edogawa Satoru performed a technique, “Because my physical foundation is very weak.”
He had already known the information of the underground soil leaping, and the moment the branch broke out of the ground, he had teleported away.
Technique: Cang.
The technique of He.
[I am now at the level of someone who just left Yokohama.]
The procedure is:
“Hua Yu!——” Lou Hu’s eyes widened.
The outcome is decided.
Fushiguro Shiori held his sword across the curse master’s neck and said, “Let’s go, let’s seal Gojo Satoru.”
Lord Tianyuan in the background was as silent as a stone.
Edogawa Satoru stood by and said “yeah, yeah, yeah” expressionlessly. His mentality was ruined by Gojo Satoru, and now he is playing badly.
[There is no escape anyway, if the seal succeeds then it succeeds, if it fails then it fails.]
“There are still many preparations to be made. Even if you kill me, Gojo Satoru, you can’t be sealed.” The curse master tried to persuade.
“How will you know if you don’t try?”
Curse Master: …Why try the impossible…
The most critical part of his plan has not been realized yet!
December 10, 31 a.m.
An unregistered tent suddenly appeared above Shibuya Station. After investigation by the Supervisory Department, the ordinary people who were stopped by the tent demanded that “Gojo Satoru” be brought into the tent.
After analysis, the top brass of the Jujutsu world decided to send Gojo Satoru alone to resolve the situation.
“Although it’s not prepared yet, isn’t everything done according to your requirements?” Fushiguro Shigeji praised.
The curser didn’t want to talk.
Gojo Satoru landed in the tent. There weren’t many people there this early in the morning. “Even if you’re a corporate slave, you shouldn’t go to work at eight o’clock. You’re not human.”
Gojo Satoru met them and looked at this strange combination with curiosity.
The tyrant Fushiguro Shigeu who died twelve years ago and was recently resurrected, Edogawa Satoru who is the same person as him and has an affair with the cursed spirit, and an unknown person with stitches on his head. After a closer look at the technique, it turns out to be a Word Spirit Master.
Fushiguro Shier threw the prison gate and said, “Open the door.”
This thing looked strange, with an eye in the middle. Gojo Satoru followed the flow of the magical energy of the thing, analyzed its function, and concluded that it seemed to be able to seal him.
“Where did you find this? This thing is really great. I kind of want to collect it.” Gojo Satoru said to the Curse Master seriously.
The Curse Master was suppressed by Heaven and Tyrant and had no chance to escape. Now he didn’t care about anything else. When Gojo Satoru approached him, he would tear open the stitches on his head and run away with his brain.
As a result, Gojo Satoru hadn’t taken two steps when the prison door snapped shut, locking Gojo Satoru inside. Gojo Satoru moved randomly twice and laughed: “It’s really sealed tightly! I can’t feel the flow of cursed energy at all.”
The curse master, who had been planning for many years, was silent and painful as he watched the scene before him.
He didn’t feel happy at all.
Edogawa Satoru was stunned.
The connection between him and Gojo Satoru was broken.
[what happened? ]
[Just a moment ago?]
“Edogawa Satoru,” Gojo Satoru shouted, “I met Edogawa Ranpo on March 3th.”
Edogawa Satoru instantly raised his head and looked at Gojo Satoru.
He was locked in the prison gate, ready to be captured and killed, but his face showed a nonchalant attitude.
“He told me that he had a brother who looked exactly like me. He wanted to kill his brother, but he also wanted to save him.”
Edogawa Ranpo asked Gojo Satoru to protect his brother. He felt that he had heard a big joke and couldn’t stop laughing. He said, there is no blood relationship, so let him die.
“He wanted to save you by sealing me away. I was hesitating whether to do as he asked.”
Edogawa Ranpo said that this world is all fake. Ranpo confirmed it and he believed it.
“I was sealed, and you took my place, so you are free from the control of the book.”
Gojo Satoru is taking a huge gamble.
This gamble seemed to have no benefit for him. But he decided to join the game the moment he got the psychological report: “Self-destructive tendencies…”
“Those thoughts, I want to kill someone or something, I tell you, I’m just pretending~” Gojo Satoru laughed, showing his neat white teeth, “It’s really fun to scare you!”
Edogawa Satoru: …
The original feeling of being touched disappeared in an instant.
You are better at being a dog.
Gojo Satoru finally said, “I will only give you less than a day, before November 11st, to go see your brother.”
Then he took out his cell phone and started playing inside the prison gate.
Edogawa Satoru turned and ran. His brother was either waiting for him outside Shibuya Station, at Tokyo Jusho High School, or in Yokohama!
After listening to their conversation, Fushiguro Shigeu finally understood what Edogawa Ranpo meant when he said that the seal would definitely be successful.
But there is a big difference between being locked in actively and being locked in passively.
He patted the prison door and asked unhappily, “Is it comfortable in there?”
“I have prepared 2 billion for you and transferred Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Miki to your household registration.” Gojo Satoru said calmly, “And I am going to appoint you as the elder of the Gojo family. Your daily job is to declare war on the Zenin family, and your annual salary is 500 million.”
The Gojo family has plenty of money.
Fushiguro turned around and killed the curse master, stepped on his brain, and said in a daze: “I feel that the annual salary can be higher.”
The little mecha-maru on top flew away, shouting loudly: “Gojo Satoru! Sealed! Gojo Satoru! Sealed!”
The people outside had different reactions to the news that Gojo Satoru was sealed.
The nails that the curse master Nozomi had buried in the dark were exposed one after another, baring their fangs and claws at the world.
The elder of the Gojo family stood up, terrified and excited: “Shouldn’t it be at night?”
The high school students were in disbelief and entered Shibuya Station under the guidance of the mechanical pill.
The world of spells suddenly changes at this moment!
–
“Mr. Summer Oil, you are late.”
“Didn’t Wu give the black rope to you for safekeeping? If you’re in a hurry, go in first~” Xia Youjie yawned, “There are so many shops here, I’ll buy some things and bring them back later.” Buy some new clothes for the family.
“Hello, Jie!” Gojo Satoru greeted.
Xia Youjie took out his phone and took a photo: “What a great photo, I will post it on the entrance of Panxing Sect.”
“You look a lot darker in the country in one year. Oh, and that thing under your feet has been looking for your body all year.”
Xia Youjie squatted down and said sincerely to the brain on the floor: “It’s okay. If you can’t get me, there are thousands of others who can get me.”
Gojo Satoru: “Jie, you are so cool. Ah, Otsutsuki doesn’t need to come over. It doesn’t matter if the prison gate is unlocked tomorrow. I will defect like Jie tomorrow~”
“You want to defect?!” Geto Suguru was shocked. He thought Gojo Satoru was just idle like usual.
“Haven’t you defected before?”
“…”
“Why don’t you take me with you?”
“I……”
“Take me with you and I’ll show you the cat-eared maid photo I took a few days ago.”
“?!” Xia Youjie was eager to try, “Well, should I rebel again now?”
Fushiguro couldn’t understand it, but he was deeply shocked.
