Chapter 90 Three DKs and a Show
It was not known how much of Cheng Xiaoyu's nonsense the local sorcerer believed, but he immediately jumped into Miguel's SUV, and the two of them drove back to the tribe at top speed to report the news.
"Okay, now it's just the boring wait for progress—until then, here's your red envelope for your help."
Cheng Xiaoyu placed two rectangular blocks wrapped in red paper in Yuta Okkotsu's hands, naturally found a clean chair for herself to sit down, and asked everyone else to sit down together.
"Red envelope" is not as appropriate as "red brick".
This was Yuutaichi Otsutsuki's idea of getting two "red envelopes".
Although the special sorcerer's strength is not enough to make him unable to lift it, the "red envelope" is really too heavy in the general impression of people. It would not be surprising for Yuta Otsutsukoshi to say that there is a piece of granite or a brick inside.
This red brick... no, this red envelope is almost 6 kilograms. It is no exaggeration to say that this red envelope can kill someone.
"I didn't do anything. I was on a business trip here at Gojo-sensei's request, and investigating the 'Devil Stone' was just a side project. Mr. Miguel did most of the hard work throughout the process. I really don't deserve your generous gift."
Yuta Otsutsuki tried to return his red brick-shaped red envelope, but Cheng Xiaoyuzi sat down with both hands on the axis and didn't give him the hand to put it back.
Cheng Xiaoyu: "If I tell you to keep it, then keep it. I don't need it. If you feel you shouldn't take it, then give your share to your friend as my payment for his drinks and hard work. That way, I won't have to pay any less."
Miguel was not present, and Yuta Otsutsuki could not make the decision on his behalf. Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu's firm attitude, he had no choice but to take out a few local checks from his pocket and put them on the small bar on the way to the restaurant. Then he tore two plastic bags from under the bar to pack the two red envelopes, intending to let Miguel make his own decision after the matter was resolved.
So Yuta Otsutsuki was happy to reach the state of "carrying about 12kg".
Yuta Otsutsuki knew very little about the "ghost". When Cheng Xiaoyu reappeared in Tokyo, he had already come here as a special-grade sorcerer at the request of Gojo Satoru and Miguel to handle things. He had neither the opportunity to see the "ghost" nor the channels to learn about it.
Even after the start of his second grade, he spent less time in school than on a plane.
Among Yuuta Otsutsu's second-year classmates, Panda's father is the principal Masamichi Yaga, and Maki Zenin's guardian Geto Suguru and half-guardian Gojo Satoru are all people who have dealt with Oni before. Although these people were either vague about it or avoided the topic after a few words, Panda and Maki Zenin had more or less known about this person before and had heard some of her deeds.
The only dog Juanji who had never seen a ghost before could also meet her when she was taking a walk.
While Yuta Otsutsuki could have gotten information from his classmates, it was third-hand information... Let's just say that in the group messages Otsutsuki saw last week from the second-year students, they were discussing whether the ghost might be the ruler of a shadow government at the top of the Jujutsu world, the last monarch of a mysterious kingdom, or the last member of a family that was once comparable to the three great families...
Anyway, the rumors are quite bizarre. It can be seen that the friends have given wings to their imaginations for this discussion and have no intention of putting it into practice.
Then until a few days ago, their tone suddenly changed and overturned all the above speculations, and they enthusiastically told Yuta Otsutsuki some completely unintelligible riddles, and called it confidentiality, saying that the identity of the ghost was so exciting that Otsutsuki would never be able to guess it, and urged him to complete the task quickly and come back to tell them.
It's like hearing a huge piece of gossip and wanting to share it with an uninformed friend, but because the timing isn't right, you have to frantically urge him to come out and tell you when.
Although Yuta Otsutsukotsu is a special-grade sorcerer entrusted with great responsibilities and hopes, he is also a teenager, at an age full of curiosity. The person that his classmates have always talked about is now standing in front of him, and appears in such an unusual way. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at the strange combination over there.
He was actually very secretive. After all, he knew that secretly looking at others was not polite. However, such small movements were particularly obvious in the eyes of Cheng Xiaoyu, the magician Kaito Kid who had to pay attention to the audience's gaze at all times, and the detective Hakuba who was dealing with Kaito Kid.
But they didn't expose Yuta Okkotsu. After all, to be fair, with the way they appeared and Hakuba Tankaito Kidd's current appearance, if they didn't attract many people's attention when walking on the street, it would be because passers-by had poor eyesight.
The atmosphere fell into silence strangely. Except for Cheng Xiaoyu who seemed silent but was actually chatting with No. 233, and Hakuba Tan who didn't want to attract attention, Kaito Kidd and Otsutsuki Yuta were all thinking about a topic that could liven up the atmosphere.
Especially Kaito Kidd, he really can't adapt to such a silent atmosphere
Kaito Kidd pulled out a deck of playing cards and said, "This atmosphere is really depressing. How about I perform a magic trick for everyone?"
Hakuba Detective: ".......Here? Are you serious?"
This boy in white clothes must be a sorcerer. Are you serious about performing magic in front of two magical sides, the devil and the sorcerer?
And that boy looks very impatient. What should I do if I make him angry?
Although Yuta Okkotsu was a little depressed due to the time difference, climate and work reasons, he was actually quite interested, but when he heard what Hakuba Tan said, he had to swallow the "OK" in his mouth.
"What's the big deal?" Kaito Kidd showed off his card-shuffling skills without a trace of stage fright. "I'm curious what the true mystical side will do to expose my magic. Would you like to play, young man?"
"Okay." Yuta Otsutsukota smiled. After so long since school started, he finally got to play with people his own age who he could communicate with. "What do you want to play?"
Kaito Kidd: "Let's guess the cards. It's a very traditional magic trick. You draw and I guess."
Yuta Otsutsuki: "Then I'll draw... this one."
"Oh, that's a bit difficult... No way! It's the Five of Clubs, right?"
"Really! So amazing—"
Bai Ma Tan: “…”
Is this brother's personality like this? I can't tell at all! Is that a requirement for a sorcerer's job?
Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing after hearing Bai Ba Tan's whispered question. "How is that possible? Otsutsuki is only 17, about the same age as you guys. It's normal for you to get along well. Not all magicians and mystics are like the guy you met."
"That's not necessarily true, miss." Kaito Kidd started pretending again, pulling up his hat and smiling mysteriously, "The age of a Kaito is a secret."
Yuuta Otsutsuki seemed to be hesitant to speak... Can this transparent monocle and the hat that doesn't cover your face at all really serve as a camouflage? It's obvious at a glance that you are a high school boy about the same age as me.
Yuta didn't understand, but the other party seemed to care about this matter very much, so Yuta didn't say anything. He was more concerned about Hakuba Tan: "The guy you met is...?"
While Bai Ma Tan was still trying to figure out how to explain the spider incident or avoid the topic without exposing himself, Cheng Xiaoyu had already given a concise answer: "He just learned about the curse world today, and he just escaped from a perverted curse master who enjoys torturing and killing people, so he's a little wary now."
"There's actually such a thing. What's the name of that curse master?"
Curse masters are almost all perverted madmen and murderers who like to sharpen their knives and swing them at ordinary people. When Yuta Otsutsuki heard the word curse master, he made up a set of interconnected logic in his mind and quickly softened his tone towards Hakuba.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Aren't sorcerers and curse casters the same? Tell me the characteristics of that curse caster, and I will definitely take care of this matter."
Bai Ma Tan: "Thank you, but he has been sanctioned and will probably not be able to harm anyone again in the future. I'm sorry for being so rude to you earlier."
Yuta Otsutsuki: "It's okay, I must have scared you. I'm really sorry, but things have been going on a lot lately, so I'm not in a good mood. I guess I scared you."
As a detective, Hakuba was the one who saved people most of the time. He wasn't good at being treated as a victim, so he quickly said, "No, no, really not. Thank you for your concern."
Cheng Xiaoyu held her chin in her hand. "So if there's a misunderstanding, it should be resolved early... Oh, by the way, Otsutsuki, how long are you going to stay here? The first half of your second grade is almost over."
Yuta Otsutsuki: "I don't know either. Actually, my mission was completed before. But not long after I arrived, Gojo-sensei told me not to go back without his call..."
Cheng Xiaoyu calculated the time and found that it was around the time when she appeared in this timeline that Gojo Satoru was thinking of keeping a single special-grade sorcerer alive to protect him from the persecution of the No. 1 high-dimensional creature.
"...It wasn't until a few days ago when something happened at the top level of Jujutsu that Gojo-sensei called again and asked me to try to find out about the 'Pandora' you mentioned. Miguel was with me at the time, and he thought the description sounded familiar, so we came here to confirm it. But Gojo-sensei didn't tell me when I could return."
In fact, Yuta Otsutsuki kept it to himself. A little before Gojo Satoru called him for the second time, he received a call from a high-ranking official in the Neon curse world, asking him to go back immediately to stop the rebellious Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.
Yuta Otsutsuki was sleeping at the time, and his first reaction when he received the call was, "What kind of small language is this that is similar to Neon?"
Ah? I hit my mentor and his good brother?
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
The biggest complaint about this phone call was not even that Yuuta Otsutsu was sentenced to death by the higher-ups a year ago and Gojo Satoru personally saved him and taught him all the knowledge about spells, but that the higher-ups actually seriously asked Yuuta Otsutsu, a special-grade sorcerer who had just entered the spell industry for just a year, to fight against two special-grade sorcerers whose combined spell experience was enough to be his father.
Even if the top brass in the world of sorcery have become senile and think they can easily control Yuuta, a clear-headed and stupid middle school student like Otsutsuki, don't they even know which number is bigger, 1 or 2?
Yuta Okkotsu still doesn't understand who gave them the confidence.
If my mentor and his best friend were truly rebelling, I'd be lucky enough not to join them. But they're actually asking me to stop them? Is that something a sane person could suggest?
Can't you find anyone else to call on besides me?
I really can’t shout anymore.
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Don't worry, things over there should be resolved soon. There's been a major reshuffle of leadership recently, and your teacher probably didn't want you to get caught up in the political winds, so he didn't send you back. As a special-grade sorcerer, as long as you stay in Japan, no matter what you do, there will be people who can make a big deal out of you in the future... But I personally think he's a bit too cautious. After all, this is based on general political risks, and the Japanese sorcery world... everyone combined is only three villages at most. Talking about 'politics' with this scale is like Sesame saying it wants to be a nut - completely unqualified, but it won't go wrong either."
In Cheng Xiaoyu's opinion, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's methods are still too civilized and conservative.
Given the situation in the old curse world and the balanced power system of cursed spirits, there is actually no need to go through so many twists and turns. The easiest way is to just kill them all from top to bottom. Anyway, according to the theory of the old curse world that "the stronger the sorcerer, the stronger the cursed spirits, so Gojo Satoru is responsible for the current situation of the strengthened cursed spirits", there will not be any major changes in the cursed spirits.
They can even whitewash themselves by calling it "a reasonable sacrifice to save more people and fulfill the glorious mission of the sorcerer profession." The old sorcery world has played this trick before.
If something goes wrong with the curse spirits later, all the blame will be put on the old curse world - the reason for the problem is that the theory proposed by the old curse world is false, they use this false theory to brainwash and deceive everyone, they deserve to die!
Cheng Xiaoyu: "But it's understandable. People are inexperienced the first time they rebel. They will be more experienced next time."
Everyone: “…”
There won't be a next time for this kind of thing to happen!
