Chapter 54: A Man of Current Affairs

"But this doesn't eliminate the Ghost Queen's suspicion. We told her we were allies back then, and look what she did."

Gojo Satoru: "That makes sense. How about you go and interrogate her now? She's at the Tokyo High School right now."

“But then again.”

The senior executive said this even more smoothly than De O.

"It's reasonable that the Ghost Queen's job attributes her to appear at unusual locations. We can't brand her a murderer simply because she showed up. On the contrary, this might explain why Itadori Yuji is still alive after consuming the fatal curse. It's because of a power that doesn't belong to this world. From this possible perspective, we should still execute Itadori Yuji immediately."

Gojo Satoru discovered that people could actually be made to laugh out loud.

This has led you all in circles to the death penalty of Yuji Itadori, it's endless, right?

But before Gojo Satoru could say anything, the smooth-talking senior executive said, "But according to the agreement we made with the Ghost Queen ten years ago, we cannot interfere with her work."

Therefore, dealing with Itadori Hisahito as you said is also a way, and from now on Itadori Hisahito will be under your supervision."

It seemed as if he wanted to treat Yuji Itadori as a hot chestnut and stuff it on Gojo Satoru.

"Then it's settled." Gojo Satoru found it amusing. "Are you so afraid of ghosts?"

One of the higher-ups was so anxious he couldn't even pretend anymore and slammed the table. "What do you know, you little brat?! She didn't kill us before because she wanted us to deal with the unusual cursed spirits in Beika Town. Now that the unusual cursed spirits in Beika Town are gone, and we haven't been able to help her in all these years, what if we provoke her again and she kills us?"

These non-human beings who lived thousands of years ago had no concept of abiding by the law.

What Cheng Xiaoyu engraved in the minds of the top brass in the world of sorcery was not only her skin-peeling work schedule, but also her ability to appear and disappear mysteriously and sneak into any place and take away anyone overnight.

If the Ghost Queen wanted to, she could kill my whole family overnight.

This understanding was deeply imprinted in the minds of the top leaders in the world of curse by Cheng Xiaoyu as early as ten years ago, and now that Cheng Xiaoyu has returned, it has revived and quickly occupied their minds.

Therefore, in the eyes of the top leaders in the world of sorcery, the Ghost Queen is far more dangerous than Ryoumen Sukuna, who has only obtained one twentieth of her power and has no control over her body.

After all, Ryomen Sukuna is not yet dead, but the Ghost Queen is alive and well and can stand in front of them and strike them down at any time.

Now that Gojo Satoru can open his unlimited power in real time, he might be able to avoid being attacked. Perhaps other special-grade sorcerers can also avoid being attacked by surprise, but what about those who are not special-grade sorcerers?

Finally, this meeting that brought two pieces of bad news ended with the words "As the price of keeping Yuji Itadori, you are now fully responsible for all matters related to Ryoumen Sukuna and the Oni Queen. Meeting adjourned!"

"...That's what they said. That's why I said it'll be fine. From now on, Yuhito and Megumi will be classmates."

After Yuji Itadori was brought out for interrogation, Gojo Satoru called everyone out and announced the decision of the top management.

"Those arrogant old guys, you're so scared when you hear a ghost, and the way you frantically change your story is hilarious. Can I ask what you did back then to scare them so much? I also want them to shut up when they should."

What did she do? Of course, whenever she had the chance, she would use the Sheep Charm to enter their dreams and beat them in all kinds of ways, until they would automatically have nightmares about her.

Cheng Xiaoyu controlled her strength very well, and she controlled the strength so as not to hurt the soul. No matter how she fought or killed in the dream, it would not cause actual harm. She did not cause them to have a mental breakdown every day, so that they could still eliminate the abnormal cursed spirits in Beika Town normally the next day.

If a senior executive tried to shirk responsibility, act like a big shot, dump work on Cheng Xiaoyu, shift the blame, morally blackmail her, or insult her, Cheng Xiaoyu would beat him up while he was awake and again in his dreams after he fell asleep. If she had enough practice, she would even make her presence felt in the dreams of other senior executives watching, telling them to be careful.

Cheng Xiaoyu flicked her hair and said, "Of course I am showing off my personal charm. They all feel ashamed when they see me, who is so young, beautiful and strong."

Gojo Satoru: "What if someone isn't interested?"

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Then beat them until they feel ashamed of themselves. Strength is also a kind of personal charm."

"As expected of you," Gojo Satoru said with a smile, "But I wouldn't do anything so violent. If I did that, what would be the difference between me and them? Isn't that right?"

Cheng Xiaoyu: "If you don't beat them into submission, what's the difference between you and a dog on a chain that only barks a few times but still obeys orders?"

Such strong aggressiveness!!

Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro began to feel embarrassed.

Especially Megumi Fushiguro. The two elders are showing signs of quarreling, and he doesn't know which side to support or whether he can stop it.

The two began to move themselves away at a slow pace.

Dead foot, move!

"Your words can be really hurtful sometimes."

Gojo Satoru was not angry. It was not the first time that Cheng Xiaoyu had confronted him. After knowing that Cheng Xiaoyu was not human, he felt that it was normal to have cognitive differences. What's more, sometimes what she said was indeed true.

"What I want to establish is an equal world of magic. If I use force to crush everything like a rotten orange, there's no guarantee that I or my successor will become the next generation of rotten oranges."

“…”

Cheng Xiaoyu clicked on number 233: [Is this the result of the influence on higher-dimensional beings or his own opinion?]

No. 233: [I don't know, maybe it's both. Perhaps we can use another method to determine the answer. You call Fushiguro Shier and ask him to bet on these two options. The option you bet on is most likely the correct answer.]

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Let Fushiguro Shiori and Gojo Satoru go... After all, Fushiguro Shiori won a bet that Gojo would raise Fushiguro Megumi well. If they really want to make a bet, they should go to Maori Kogoro. It's well known that the suspects he points out are usually not the murderers. But I personally tend to think that Gojo Satoru has gone crazy at work these past few years, and the person speaking now is actually a living badminton spirit that has taken over someone else's body."

No. 233: [You haven't spared more people than me, how dare you say that about me.]

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu fall into a brief silence, Gojo Satoru thought he had successfully persuaded her and said smugly, "Don't be surprised by me. After all, I'm already a mature adult after ten years."

Cheng Xiaoyu: "...You and Xia Yujie are indeed close friends."

Gojo Satoru: "That's not a given, but why do you say that?"

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Because your symptoms of brain convulsions are exactly the same, the prescription medication can be the same. Go find Xia Yujie and look through the prescription I wrote for him ten years ago. Your condition is more serious, so you need to take human sociology books and animal documentaries every day, supplemented by world history books."

Gojo Satoru:?

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Don't look at me like that. My words and prescriptions are already very tactful. Do you know what my student will prescribe for you? He'll recommend that you swallow an American Smith & Wesson 1917 as physical anesthesia for the craniotomy surgery. After that, he'll fill your head with fluorescent green bath water that hasn't been washed for thousands of years, in order to fill your empty mind with the echo of your own wisdom."

Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro were both shocked when they experienced this kind of language art for the first time. How could there be someone in the world who could express such aggressiveness without using any swear words?

If insulting someone requires a degree, then this person probably already has a doctorate.

This time it was Gojo Satoru who remained silent, but he had already heard of the student's bad reputation and was not too surprised.

only.......

Gojo Satoru glanced at Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori, who was so reserved that he subconsciously clasped his arms, and was extremely grateful that the only people he met were well-behaved children.

If he had been dealt with by someone like the ghost student, he felt that he would definitely die young.

Gojo Satoru: "Don't be so excited. You've scared the child."

Cheng Xiaoyu: "What scares children is not my brilliant language skills, but your amazing ideas that are so shocking that they can be praised by any black-hearted capitalist and feudal society."

Ryoumen Sukuna grew a mouth on Yuji's face and commented sharply: "Shocking stupidity."

"Shut up, Sukuna!" Yuji Itadori, who had suddenly become the center of attention, slapped Sukuna's mouth. "I'm sorry, he sometimes runs out like this."

Cheng Xiaoyu concluded: "Before you became the strongest, you were manipulated by the higher-ups. After you became the strongest, you were still manipulated by the higher-ups. Wouldn't that mean you became the strongest in vain?"

Ryoumen Sukuna grew a mouth on the back of Itadori's hand and laughed strangely: "Such strength is actually working for others and being controlled by others. The world of curses in this era is doomed."

Yuji Itadori slapped him again: "Sukuna, don't talk."

Cheng Xiaoyu: "It's okay, Itachi, this is not your fault. Stop hitting yourself, it's useless. Sukuna is getting more and more excited the more you hit him. You are not stopping him, but rewarding him. You should know that even boys have to protect themselves when they go out."

Two-faced Sukuna:?

Ryomen Sukuna opened a scarlet eye through the slit under Yuji's eyes and said, "Don't laugh at this white-haired brat. You are just as bad as him because you obviously don't like the curse world but still go along with it. I guess you are also controlled by others."

Cheng Xiaoyu: "You have the right to criticize me? Mr. Pixar, who can't even wink, should go back to the bottom of the sea."

Ryoumen Sukuna: "I am only temporary. When I take control of this body, the first person I will kill will be you, and then the white-haired imp."

Cheng Xiaoyu said to Gojo Satoru, "Are you afraid? Don't say things like 'the strongest'."

Gojo Satoru found it amusing: "Afraid of the threat of a guy who doesn't even have his own autonomy? I just think he's daydreaming. It's ridiculous..."

""

“.......”

Cheng Xiaoyu spread her hands and said nothing more. Sukuna sneered and disappeared under Yuji Itadori's skin.

It was as if a knife had stabbed into Gojo Satoru's solar plexus and stirred it, but he felt no pain at all. He only felt his thoughts becoming clearer, as if a tangled mass of ropes shrouded in mist that had been impossible to sort out before was cut open by the bright sharp blade. With a few crisp sounds of broken strings, the once chaotic and unruly ropes were neatly spread out in front of Gojo Satoru, as soft as cotton thread waiting for him to comb them.

Gojo Satoru had never felt his mind so clear before, as if he had thrown away the heavy burden that had been weighing on him.

"yes……"

Gojo Satoru said softly, so softly that only he could hear it.

"It's ridiculous."
