Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Work Discussion

The director is worthy of being the director. He talks about work every three sentences. Yuyin couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she has been used to it for a long time, right?

"If the director wants to discuss this matter, I'm afraid we need to change the venue."

The three of them were now in an open-air cafe, surrounded by people coming and going. If they talked about too many confidential matters, it would easily lead to the leakage of information.

Just now, when she was talking with the director, Awashima-san had been keeping a vigilant eye on his surroundings to prevent others from approaching in order to prevent the content of their conversation from being leaked.

Munakata Reiji nodded and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

The three of them then stood up and moved the conversation to the car.

"Hey, you're not dead yet."

Fushimi Saruhiko, who was sitting in the driver's seat, waved to her.

Yuyin narrowed her eyes and smiled, "You've returned safely from undercover work. Is it any wonder I'm still alive?"

Munakata Reiji never questioned the private interactions between his subordinates. He simply said to Yuon, "Right now, only Awashima, Fushimi, and I know you're alive. So, Fushimi will be the driver on this trip."

The three of them got into the car, Awashima sat in the front passenger seat, and Tamane and the head of the department, Reiji Munakata, sat in the back seat.

Fushimi closed the car door. The Scepter4's custom-made car had excellent sound insulation. He then activated the signal jammer to prevent eavesdropping devices or other abilities that could control the network like water flow.

Yuyin watched him complete all these measures, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said, "Lend me your notebook."

Fushimi frowned slightly, full of reluctance, and could only lend her the tool that was almost inseparable from him.

Yuyin took the notebook and quickly found some original files he had stored locally. He then opened a new document and analyzed and explained the situation to the three people while typing.

"After the fusion of the worlds, in addition to the old outsiders, Scepter 4 now faces threats and challenges from three aspects: psychics, monsters, and cursed spirits.

Of these three, youkai and cursed spirits have a long history on the island nation, their numbers are incalculable, while those with special abilities have only appeared in modern times. The most powerful of these youkai are the great youkai, but most of the ancient great youkai are no longer visible. I speculate that they have migrated to other dimensions. The few that remain are either sealed away or secluded, avoiding human contact. The remaining minor youkai are mostly powerful and harmless. A few harbor malicious intent and pose a threat to humans, and the average level of the Scepter 4 members is sufficient to deal with them.

Relatively speaking, cursed spirits are more terrifying than monsters. If there are still some innocent and pure-hearted monsters among monsters, cursed spirits are the epitome of pure evil."

"etc."

She had just said this when she was interrupted by Fushimi.

Fushimi asked, "How do you distinguish between cursed spirits and monsters? Aren't they both abnormal beings? I've looked at some available cases, and some urban legends are classified as monsters, while others are cursed spirits."

"Good question," Yuyin shared the same doubts as Fushimi when she first arrived in the world of cursed spirits. It wasn't until she attended the Jujutsu High School and received instruction that she finally resolved the mystery. "The biggest difference between cursed spirits and monsters is their origins. Monsters have many different origins: some are born and raised, while others are transformed from humans or objects. It's hard to generalize. But cursed spirits have only one origin: the negative emotions of humans. Therefore, cursed spirits are inherently hostile to humans and are filled with malicious intent."

Awashima pondered, "According to you, those unnatural creatures we Scepter 4 eliminated during our previous mission were cursed spirits?"

Yuyin nodded and said, "That should be correct." She continued, "If you want to determine whether the enemy is a monster or a cursed spirit, there's a simple method. Monsters, regardless of size, strength, or power, generally have consciousness. Unless they are mentally disturbed, most can communicate. However, very few cursed spirits have clear consciousness. Aside from a few special types, such as the slit-mouthed woman, who can speak, most lack the ability to communicate. Those cursed spirits that can communicate intelligently are invariably top-tier beings. If you encounter such a cursed spirit, I have only one advice for the Scepter 4 members, excluding the Director: Run immediately."

"Run?" Fushimi pushed up his glasses and smiled nonchalantly, "Really? I'd like to see for myself."

"I'm not kidding," Yuyin said seriously. "Special-grade cursed spirits possess a powerful sense of oppression and can quickly achieve enlightenment. Remember the unusual movements in the Kagudu Crater a few days ago? That was a special-grade cursed spirit formed by the immense resentment and fear lingering within the Kagudu Crater. If allowed to grow, with its special-grade strength, it could easily recreate the tragedy of the Kagudu Crater."

Can a disaster like the Red King dropping his sword be reproduced? Fushimi was shocked, and only then did he take it seriously.

"As expected, you, Yuon, were there that day." Munakata Reiji said with certainty. To know the situation so clearly that day, he could only have been there.

Yuyin laughed dryly, trying to play it off: "It was just a coincidence. I just happened to accept a commission and didn't expect to encounter a newly generated curse spirit."

"It wasn't a coincidence, was it Mr. Deba or Mr. Gojo you went with that day?" Reiji Munakata asked speculatively. "I'm guessing it was Mr. Deba. He's your senior and the head of the Deba family, so he's perfectly capable of keeping any information that might be detrimental to you hidden from the public. And in the world of sorcery, while Mr. Gojo is exceptionally powerful, he can't make decisions alone; there are higher-ups who are making decisions. Since you, Yuyin, are unwilling to appear before Scepter 4, it's even more unlikely that you'll reveal your presence to the Sorcerer's Association."

The reason why they locked on to Tamane so quickly this time was that after Reiji Munakata was certain that the novelist had some connection with Shizueji Deiba and Gojo Satoru, Awashima Seri re-investigated the people closely related to the two in detail. During this investigation, "Saionji Tamane", who was adopted by the Deiba family since childhood, and "Saionji Tamane", a junior who was two years younger than Gojo Satoru at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, came into her sight.

Awashima had always had a close relationship with Tamion, and after seeing someone with the same name as Tamion twice, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious and continued investigating in this direction. She then quickly found out the detailed information of the two Saionji Tamion, including photos, weapons they were good at, etc. After verifying the information, she soon noticed a clue.

After his meeting with the two members of the Green Group that day, Munakata Reiji received a call from Awashima reporting the incident. After a moment's deliberation, Munakata instructed Awashima to request a bluecode on Scepter4, accessing household registration records for residents of Tokyo and the entire Kanto region. The search quickly identified Tamane, confirming her current identity.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Chief," Yuyin sighed. Why was she surrounded by such clever people? "That day, my senior and I were commissioned to go to the Kagudu Crater. We later met the high school students there, and Gojo-senpai came to assist us later."

Reiji Munakata nodded: "That makes sense." Perhaps the traces of battle they found on the scene match.

"I've entered all the taboos you need to pay attention to regarding cursed spirits and monsters here."

During the conversation, Yuyin didn't forget the important matter at hand. She gestured to the head of the department, "Scepter 4 members need to memorize this section. Also, to deal with rogue monsters and cursed spirits, unless the situation is urgent and unavoidable, I suggest that the department contact a demon exorcist or curse master to handle it. After all, everyone has their own expertise."

Munakata nodded. "I agree with that, but Scepter4 has no previous experience collaborating with this party. We need to ensure timely contact and timely arrival, and the coordination between them is not something that can be achieved overnight."

Yuyin sighed again. It turned out that he was waiting for her here. In order to maintain the order in his mind, the director was really unwilling to miss any conditions that could be exploited.

"As for the exorcists, Director, you can just contact my senior. He's aware of my relationship with Scepter 4. As for the sorcerers, if you want to follow the official process, you'll have to deal with the higher-ups at the Sorcerer Association. But be prepared for their slow efficiency and the potential for mistakes. If you want a simpler shortcut, just contact Gojo Satoru directly, or Principal Yoga of Tokyo Jujutsu High School. As for the latter, he doesn't know about me, so you'll have to formally visit and discuss things with him."

Munakata pushed up his glasses and said, "None of these are problems."

The Spellcaster Association can have indirect dialogue through high-level government officials. With the government mediating, they should be less arrogant. After discussing the details of the cooperation with the Spellcaster Association, we can then approach the college president to discuss the details of the cooperation. This way, the Association won't think they're abusing their power.

"As for the psychics," Yuyin thought, thinking that the discussion was finally almost over, "I think the room has gained a lot of information."

Fushimi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, nodded. It took him a lot of effort to collect some information.

"With the existence of the Special Ability Division, there's no need to worry too much about people with special abilities. However, when Scepter 4 goes to Yokohama, they need to pay extra attention to the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia. Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo of the Armed Detective Agency are both highly intelligent people. Dazai Osamu also has the ability to negate other people's special abilities [No Longer Human]. And the Port Mafia has the gravity user Nakahara Chuuya, so they are both targets that require special attention. In addition..."

Yuyin pondered for a moment whether or not to betray her boss. After much deliberation, she finally offered a reminder, "The abilities of psychics are similar to those of outsiders; they are both quite unique. For example, some can control computers like Green King Bishuiliu."

Upon hearing this, Fushimi's eyes lit up and he looked eager to try.

"There are those who can predict the future, like Anna Kushina of the Akagami. There are those who can solve a case and then kill the murderer by guessing the murderer. There are also those who can acquire the memories of objects by touching them... This is only what I know, so when interacting with Yokohama's psychics, you must never be careless."

After hearing Yuyin's description of those supernatural powers, Munakata Reiji and Awashima Seri's expressions also became a little solemn.

"Besides, unlike the Kings, Psychics are not only found in island nations, but all over the world. There are also quite a few powerful Psychics abroad, especially in Europe and the United States."

In order to let the director understand his strength intuitively, Yuyin added another sentence.

"As a long-established gathering place for psychics, Europe even has many psychics that surpass ordinary levels, called Transcendents, whose combat power is comparable to that of Kings."

-----------------------

The author has something to say: This chapter connects the past and the future. I didn’t expect it to be so long. However, if it is not written clearly, some plots will be difficult to unfold_(:з」∠)_

Many friends are worried that the director will become bald after facing the Shibuya Incident. In fact, it won’t be that bad︿(￣︶￣)︿
