"Good evening—or rather, we meet again."

Gojo Satoru's tone of greeting was quite friendly, even approachable. He was observing the man in front of him. This was the first time Gojo Satoru saw him hunting, and it was very different from the soft, harmless and even a little off-line appearance he had seen in the afternoon.

Gojo Satoru was very interested: "Which one is your real self, you now or in the afternoon?"

“…They’re all me.”

Shaking off the stains on the scissors, the man with the slit mouth gave a rather shameless answer to Gojo Satoru's request for compensation.

"Since I have already killed these guys, I can never find them again. Even if you ask me for compensation... it will be useless."

"Isn't this just blackmail? No way." Gojo Satoru strode forward. He didn't care if getting close to the other party would be dangerous. He had absolute confidence in his strength. Although the man with a slit mouth could slightly interfere with his cursed energy, he was no match for him.

The man with the slit mouth also knew this. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't come over here."

He was always prepared to resist, and even if he might not win, he had the determination to at least bite off a few pieces of the opponent.

“Ah… Although you told me not to come near you, your eyes don’t say that. Also – murderous intent is about to overflow.” Gojo Satoru didn’t care at all about being targeted.

Gojo Satoru had already walked to a distance of one meter from him. He had put one hand in his pocket, but now he took it out. He spread out his palm and said generously: "But it's not impossible to write this matter off——"

He clapped his hands cheerfully and declared with full energy:

"Well! Then Mr. Slit-mouthed Man will be the training object for my students."

Man with slit mouth: “……?”

...Wait, what is this human saying?

"...I'm a weirdo." He raised his scissors and emphasized this again.

Gojo Satoru: "Ah, that's obvious. So what?"

"Aren't you worried that I'd kill your students?"

"Don't underestimate my students." Gojo Satoru said, looking a bit like a teacher. "Well, I'll be watching you anyway, so I won't let you cross the line. So, don't you want to take this opportunity to learn more about sorcerers? This is a win-win situation."

Jiuyuan rolled his eyes in his heart.

...This is not a win-win situation. Gojo Satoru's students are just kids, and the information we can get from them is very limited. It's not so much a chance for me to learn about the sorcerer, but a chance for him to observe the slit-mouthed man up close. Why did he think he would agree to this?

Jiuyuan: Do I look easy to deceive?

...No, it could also be that the man with the slit mouth looks very deceptive.

"This is unfair." It's better not to hint at Gojo Satoru when talking to him. It's more straightforward. The man with the slit mouth stared into Gojo Satoru's eyes covered by the blindfold and said, "...You can observe me clearly. In comparison, the information I can get is not proportional at all."

“Eh…” Gojo Satoru showed a regretful expression, as if “I didn’t fool you.”

Xiao Bai: “…”

Angry, damn.

As expected, compensation was just a casual remark. He even suspected that Gojo Satoru's appearance here was not a coincidence.

Since the so-called compensation is just an excuse, just ignore it.

Seeing that the man with the slit mouth was about to leave, Gojo Satoru touched his chin and changed the negotiation terms: "I'll exchange it with something else. Don't leave so quickly, I think you really need what I have to give you - I'll help you investigate your enemy's intelligence, how about that? All you need is for you to practice with my students, isn't that a good deal?"

The man with the slit frowned, as if to say "would you be so kind?"

"No, this matter is also a □□ for us. It is better for me to find those people and monitor them, and expose them to you and me equally in public and transparently."

"...After all, you're still not letting me take action, right?"

Gojo Satoru was able to stop the enemy with his generals and cover the water with earth, so there was no embarrassment at all.

"Haha, I don't want to be nagged by the people above me. Besides, didn't your master say that we should get along with humans in a friendly way? How about I take the first step?"

In fact, in some ways, Gojo Satoru is indeed one of the people with the highest tolerance for error.

But it is not easy to gain Jiuyuan's trust. He only dares to take the gamble because he believes that he will be reborn after his vest is destroyed.

Because he was really tempted at this moment. If Gojo Satoru was not lying and could find Kuen's target through his connections, it would be a win-win situation for everyone. Kuen was not ready to carry out the mission to the final step anyway. As long as they were found, he could advance the progress of the character's mission and earn a lot of reputation.

He looked at the progress bar and conservatively estimated that he could earn around 17,000 reputation.

Yes, you can receive it just by finding these people.

He was so excited. As long as he earned more reputation, he could unlock more new postures.

...Including the 5,000 reputation I had before, I still have two more ten-draws left!

and……

He felt that Gojo Satoru had brought this upon himself, so he would definitely look for an opportunity to take advantage of him, the more he could get.

Gojo Satoru saw that he hadn't said anything for a long time, and felt that something might be going on.

After waiting for a moment, the masked young man lowered his voice, as if he had made a choice that required all his courage.

"……Can."

“But I also have conditions.”

…

…

The next day at noon, somewhere beside a riverbank.

Before they parted last night, the man with the slit mouth told Gojo Satoru bluntly that he had no means of communication and could only use the most traditional method to make an appointment.

So we had to choose a location near the riverbank fence next to the hospital.

After that, the man with the slit mouth made some straightforward requests. He said that he had no identity, so naturally he couldn't apply for a phone card, let alone a bank card and a mobile phone. If they wanted to keep in touch for a long time, these things would have to be figured out by Gojo Satoru. As for whether there would be a GPS inside, he didn't care at all.

Please, it’s important to get the things you need first!

So this morning, Gojo Satoru prepared a fake identity and a cell phone for him, and also gave him a bank card with enough money in it for his daily use.

However, although he is very generous, he still wants to complain after being taken advantage of.

He looked at the man next to him who was touching his phone with a happy expression on his face and said, "I'm talking to you..."

"Hmm?" Xiao Baiyang raised his head and looked at him.

"He seems like a dull guy, but surprisingly he finds a way to negotiate."

"...Really?" Xiao Bai said, "Maybe it was influenced by Xue."

Gojo Satoru: "Xue? Ah, it's Yukio. What kind of guy is he?"

Xiao Bai tilted his head and thought for a few seconds, then concluded: "... a bit annoying, a bit of a bad guy. Just like you, Mr. Gojo."

Gojo Satoru thought for a moment, "So he's a handsome guy like me..."

Kuen: No, no one mentioned the appearance thing, right?

A black-haired young man with a mask and casually tied hair was struggling with the can in his hand. As soon as he opened the bottle, all the soda inside spurted out and splashed all over him. There was no doubt that this was a trick of Gojo Satoru. He must have "processed" the bottle of soda on the way back from buying it.

Even though he was splashed with water, he was not angry.

"...sticky." He shook his head left and right, but the wet hair stuck to his cheeks, making him even more uncomfortable, so he had to wipe it off with his hands.

"Hmm? You're not angry?"

"Why are you angry? This is not worth getting angry about."

Instead of getting angry, he was more focused on how to insert the straw and find a suitable angle to put it into the mask so that no one could see his face while he was drinking.

However, the straw just didn't work as he wished, and the mask almost fell off several times.

Man with slit mouth: “…” He started to get angry.

Gojo Satoru found him more and more interesting——

Although he is said to be non-competitive, he actually wants to help his master accomplish great things.

People thought he was kind-hearted and didn't bear grudges, but he always wanted to take revenge on his enemies.

People say he has a simple mind, but he is obviously also good at negotiating and negotiating terms.

Well...she'll even do something else behind her master's back.

"When will your students arrive?" After finally getting a sip of Coke, the man with the slit mouth was deeply moved and his mood became better. "We have been waiting here for almost an hour."

"Yeah, it's so slow—" Gojo Satoru seemed to have just realized that there was something wrong with the time. Logically, they should have arrived 20 minutes ago, but now there is no news at all: "I'll call and ask."

"...If I don't ask, will you forget them?"

Gojo Satoru, who was waiting for the call to be connected, said: "Hmm? What are you talking about? I am a very - very reliable gold medal teacher -"

Kuen: ...I suddenly began to distrust the education at Jujutsu High School.

The call was connected.

"Oh, it's connected." Gojo Satoru asked, "Where are you now?"

The man with the slit mouth also looked over, and Gojo Satoru's originally smiling expression turned into an intriguing "eh" expression.

"Oh, I see. Well, just be good and wait for the teacher for a few minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Gojo Satoru leaned against the railing at the back and said with emotion—

"Those kids have such bad luck."

"What's wrong?" The man with the slit mouth pricked up his ears.

"I just had a meal at a roadside restaurant, but I was involved in such a big incident."

"event?"

"Yes, the incident."

Gojo Satoru left the railing that he was holding down, stretched his body again, and planned to head towards his destination.

“And it’s a murder.”

Seeing that Gojo Satoru was about to leave, the man with the slit mouth responded, "Oh... I'll wait for you here then."

"What are you talking about? Of course we have to go together." Gojo Satoru made arrangements as a matter of course, "We have already wasted quite a bit of time. Wouldn't it take only one afternoon to go there and back? And I can't let you stay here alone, right?"

"I won't run away," said the man with the slit mouth.

Gojo Satoru waved his hand. “That’s not the point. I’m afraid you’ll be fooled.”

"Wouldn't that be a big loss for me?"
