Chapter 125 This time it’s really a BOSS direct hire
One fine morning, the winery was finished.
This news seems very abrupt at first glance, but to be honest, given the winery's already sieve-like situation and Cheng Xiaoyu's brute force cracking of intelligence to double the progress bar, it is more difficult for the winery to survive than to destroy it.
"Although I'd long imagined this day, and although previous developments had already made this outcome a foregone conclusion... when I actually heard the news, I was still a little dazed and shocked."
At the celebration party held at Kudo's house, Haibara Ai sighed while holding orange juice.
"I understand how you feel." Amuro Toru, holding a glass of drink, was also filled with emotion. "After all, we experienced so much there and lost so much. When everything was over and we unloaded the burdens on us, we subconsciously felt a sense of discomfort."
Gojo Satoru, who was passing by with a glass of juice in hand, couldn't help but chime in, "Do you think it's possible that the dazed and shocked feeling is mainly due to the excessive amount of non-humans in this room?"
Looking in the direction where Gojo Satoru was raising his glass, he saw several transparent figures.
They are Curacao, who participated in providing intelligence, Akemi Miyano, who didn't understand why her boyfriend looked so strange when he saw her and was asking him, and Kou Date, who was wandering alone, calm but a little confused.
Gojo Satoru: "What's going on with that guy named Date Kou? I just had a few words with him, and he doesn't know anything about the winery."
Amuro Toru nodded. "Yes, but the ghost said that as long as the deceased has been dead for no more than two years and their soul is intact and there is a body, they can be called back. I want to try and see if I can see him again."
Huiyuan Ai: "Then why are you still here?"
She had already talked to her sister, and now it was Shuichi Akai's turn.
Amuro Toru smiled helplessly. "The squad leader was called out at one in the afternoon. I've been talking to him for five hours. You'd only know since you first arrived. He's still like his usual nagging self, telling me to stop looking back and move forward."
"Oh, it's not easy for me either," Gojo Satoru said. "You're off work, but I still have to go to work. And I heard everything you just said. Are you feeling uncomfortable with your current overly leisurely life?"
Amuro: When did I say that? Did I mean that?
Before Amuro Toru could refute, Gojo Satoru took the initiative and said, "So the considerate Gojo-sama has already solved it for you. I've reported it to your boss! I think you'll be able to start working in the Jujutsu Department soon!"
Toru Amuro:?
Haibara Ai:?
Are you in such a hurry to hire directly from BOSS before the celebration party is even over?
Amuro Toru: "I just got off work! And I don't know any spells at all!"
"You don't need to know any spells. You'll be doing the same thing as before, gathering intelligence and helping us apprehend the curse master. It's also police work. It's just that you won't be on the front lines this time, since you can't defeat them," Gojo Satoru said. "Also, we'll need you to come to school occasionally to teach legal education classes. It's very safe, and teaching will count as double your business trip pay."
This really seems to be no different from the police work I did after enjoying myself. If I have to say, it is that it has a supernatural setting.
...But to be honest, after seeing so many things with his own eyes and listening to Gojo Satoru and Geto Geto talk about so much knowledge related to spells in the group, Amuro Toru felt that it would not be difficult for him to do this position himself.
Especially knowing the collapse and corruption of the previous curse world system, Amuro Toru is very happy to assist Gojo Satoru and others in establishing a more reasonable, legal, compliant and clean curse world, and continue to promote justice in his heart.
"What are you guys talking about here? Let me listen." Cheng Xiaoyu, who had just cast a spell on three stainless steel spirit-calling basins and taken a piece of food from every snack plate in the room, came strolling over.
Ai Haibara: "Gojo Satoru wants to get Amuro Toru to join his group."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "I understand. When I'm working overtime and I see a good seedling, I want to hire him directly to help me. Speaking of which, you and Geto Suguru are really good friends. I just saw him trying to hire Edogawa Conan directly."
"Ha, he hasn't succeeded yet, right? After all, he's underage. We can only offer him an offer and wait for him to become a consultant or something after he comes of age."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Come to think of it, now that the winery is gone, why haven't you two restored your identities?"
This afternoon, Kudo Shinichi, Miyano Shiho, and Furuya Rei used pseudonyms except when talking to their relatives and close friends using their real names.
Haibara Ai raised her hand slightly, showing off her childlike body. "It'll take some time to develop the antidote for APTX4869, so I'll have to use the identity of 'Haibara Ai' for a while. It's probably the same with Kudo Shinichi."
Amuro Toru: "I've been using the name 'Amuro Toru' for so long that it's a bit hard to get used to it suddenly. Besides, most people here are more familiar with 'Amuro Toru' than 'Furiya Rei'. Is it the same for Haibara?"
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Actually, in terms of this large-scale face-to-face meeting, I think they might be more familiar with the two names 'Working Emperor' and 'Distillery Radar'."
Toru Amuro: "..."
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
"Compared to that, I have a very important question to ask now." Gojo Satoru said seriously, "I just heard that there will be soup later?"
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Yes, it's stewing in the kitchen."
Gojo Satoru's expression became even more serious: "Who did this?"
Amuro Toru: "I made it. I'm so happy today. But due to lack of time, I ordered other food from the restaurant."
He usually likes to study cooking. Now that his big worry is gone and he can meet his old friends, he immediately decided to show off his cooking skills at today's celebration banquet.
Gojo Satoru's gaze lingered on Cheng Xiaoyu: "You probably haven't been in the kitchen, haven't provided any ingredients, and haven't participated in making the soup, right?"
Cheng Xiaoyu: “…”
Amuro Toru didn't understand what was going on: "No, Miss Ghost has been outside eating snacks and checking her phone."
Gojo Satoru finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Great! I heard that the guests at the banquet would make their own soup for dinner tonight. I was afraid I'd see something like Sukuna brand soup stock. Fortunately, it wasn't a ghost cooking!"
Toru Amuro:?
Haibara Ai:?
Everyone who heard the noise here:?
I have heard Kaito Kidd mention Pandora's Soup Treasure in the group, but what is Sukuna's Soup Treasure?
Cheng Xiaoyu: "...Why do you have such thoughts? Do I look like that kind of person?"
Gojo Satoru: "Ask yourself, okay? Aren't you the one who wanted to make soup after seeing Pandora and Sukuna's fingers, or even made soup? You have a sufficient criminal record!"
Cheng Xiaoyu: ...
No. 233: [I can’t criticize this, these two are indeed your creation.]
Now Yuji has learned a "panacea" to challenge Sukuna, which is - "If you make trouble again, I will let Miss Ghost take you away and make soup."
"The Ghost Queen's reputation is so infamous at Jujutsu High School that it can stop a child from crying at night and send an old man into hiding. If this trend continues, it might become a legend on the Tokyo High campus. Like, 'The cursed spirits, cursed objects, and cursed tools that disappeared from school suddenly vanished because they were taken away to make soup.'"
Everyone: “…”
Amuro Toru: "I'll go see how the soup is."
Huiyuan Ai: "I think that guy Akai Shuichi has occupied my sister for long enough. I'm going to go find my sister to continue catching up."
If they continued listening, they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to look directly at Tang.
"...You know what?" Cheng Xiaoyu took a deep breath. "What you just said actually reminded me of my lost youth...specifically, a few years ago, when I was so enraged by my traitor that I had a heart attack."
If Gojo Satoru had a tail, he would probably be so proud of himself right now: "Eleven years ago, you only said that I wasn't as annoying as that student like you. This proves that I have grown, doesn't it?"
"...As long as you're happy." Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Why don't you go over there and talk to others?"
"Of course I will go, otherwise Jay and I wouldn't have to work so much overtime just to carve out this little time. Apart from this, we've been really busy recently. The winery and the remaining members of the curse master were discovered and tracked down at the same time. We're not like you, who can run from Tokyo to Africa in five minutes."
Gojo Satoru drank the juice in his cup and asked again, "But I just looked around, and it seems that the Phantom Thief and his family didn't get in."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Think about it, there are FBI agents, three detectives, a police officer, and you, a six-eyed person, on the scene. If we come here, we'll be walking into a trap. What's more, the net at the winery has been closed, and the one at the zoo hasn't been completed yet. They and I will have to work overtime."
"That's a shame. I was hoping to see if the six eyes could see through physical disguises. I doubt that kid and his family will show up again." Gojo Satoru tilted his head slightly towards where Edogawa Conan and Hakuba were. "I'm probably not the most regretful person here. I can understand the frustration of seeing an evenly matched opponent suddenly disappear in the middle of a duel. As a good teacher, I'm still thinking about how to comfort the teenagers."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Based on your mouth, I suggest you don't comfort them. They don't need your comfort."
After all, one of these two people is a classmate of the second-generation Kaito Kid, and the other is his cousin whom he will meet at a family gathering later.
"Speaking of which, what have you been doing lately? I haven't seen you speak in the group chat since the information about the winery was leaked. You don't seem like the quiet type."
"Can't I just be slacking off?"
"Not likely. After all, every time you say you want to slack off, you'll start working overtime again within a week. Or maybe you're pretending to slack off but secretly planning to work overtime, and you even say you're working overtime so you can get off work earlier. Don't I understand this mentality? I have to work overtime six out of seven days a week now."
Gojo Satoru complained for a while about the seemingly endless overtime and work, and said.
"So what kind of chess have you been playing lately? If it's inconvenient for me to know, forget it."
"Nothing much," Cheng Xiaoyu said, "just a small foray into the gemstone market."
By forging the "Pandora's Stone" to counter-hook the zoo organization, the stories and "gems" that sound quite impressive, like "Emperor Qianlong ate XXX when he went to the south of the Yangtze River", have been spread out, and it remains to be seen when the fish will bite the hook.
The "Pandora" she scattered were all simple magic locators. As long as someone picked it up and shone it in the moonlight, the locator would alert Cheng Xiaoyu.
If Rum can use gems to catch Kaito Kid, then there is no reason why she can't use gems to catch Zoo.
