Chapter 215 Wu and Jie's Confrontation Act
Most of the people who opened the live broadcast room came to watch the battle between powerful people. Who could have thought that there would be such an "unexpected gain" in this battle episode?
Of course, for another group of people (such as senior executives who are in collusion with the regulatory authorities), the main concern is intimidation.
Even Gojo Satoru and Kagome Ken, who were present and had already guessed and prepared themselves, felt their emotions surge like waves and could not calm down when they actually faced Kuroi Misato who was frozen in ice.
The original rehearsal script now has more uncontrollable true emotions.
Gojo Satoru's expression sank, and when the smile disappeared from that perfect face, an icy chill radiated from the inside out, reflected on the screen of the live broadcast room, which was even more frightening than the snow in the background.
He slightly gathered the magical power around him, dropped from mid-air, and stood in front of the ice crystals revealed at the gap.
Geto's originally unchanging smiling face turned into an expressionless one. He said nothing, but like Gojo Satoru opposite him, he tacitly paused his attacking posture and landed on the other side of the ice crystal.
In between the two men, the frozen woman had her eyes clenched and her hands crossed over her chest, motionless like a lifeless wax statue - but the surging cursed energy surrounding her body proved that she was still alive.
Behind the ice crystal is a huge cursed pattern, which seems to form a magic circle, maintaining the cursed power of Kuroi Misato's technique with certain rules.
"Ah, at first I thought I was seeing things, but I didn't expect to see someone I used to know here." Gojo Satoru spoke first, his tone still light, but this lightness was only a manifestation of danger.
"Thinking back carefully, it has been more than ten years since the astral plasma incident. It turns out that Miss Kuroi who disappeared that year is hiding here. I wonder if that little devil who always calls herself "maiden" is also here."
He had no intention of hiding the secret of the astral plasma incident. He simply and directly pointed out the identity of the woman in the ice crystal, and even specifically mentioned the ending of the astral plasma incident, making the scene at this moment seem extremely suspicious.
The ending of the previous Astral Plasma Body incident was the disappearance of the Astral Plasma Body herself, Riko Amauchi, and her guardian, the maid Misato Kuroi. In the Jujutsu World archives, the evaluation record for this was [missing, suspected death].
Most of the sorcerers who knew about it believed that it was the last killing of the extreme organization at that time. Because the scene was too chaotic, no body was left.
No one would have thought that they would see the guardian of the astral plasma, Kuroi Misato, still alive in the frozen land...
The scene before us, plus the spell patterns, it is obvious that it is controlled by someone with ulterior motives.
The one who could do this couldn't be the insignificant extremist organization back then. Moreover, there was no reason for them to support the guardians of the astral plasma in this way.
Combined with the rumors of the ice curse in this area over the past decade, and the fact that the top brass seemed to be ignoring the issue...
In the live broadcast room, the clever sorcerer already had some ideas in mind. The more perceptive people could even deduce more, such as the frequent missing cases in society.
These hidden things were originally wrapped well and could not be noticed by anyone.
But once there is a loophole, a hole is poked, it is like a beam of light shining into a dark room; even if it is the size of a grain of rice, it is very conspicuous.
The senior executives in the live broadcast room were so angry that they wanted to shut down the room immediately, but they did not have the authority.
The more experienced senior executives have already begun to instruct their subordinates to contact Miss Mingming.
The reasons are very legitimate, which is to prevent this live broadcast from causing greater chaos, reduce the spread before relevant personnel arrive, maintain the overall situation, etc.
But Miss Mingming, who received the news, just smiled lazily and answered slowly on the phone:
"I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I don't have any authority in this regard either. I was just paid to do the job and help send the email. The real host of the live broadcast room is naturally the anchor himself."
So can the top leaders contact Jiang Lai? Of course not.
Just as Nanami Kento had guessed before, in order to facilitate the live broadcast and avoid interruptions, Jiang Lai blocked all contact methods such as phone and email early on.
If you want to talk to him, the only way is to pay for the bullet screen.
It's really embarrassing to post some advice and criticism in the barrage only now, in front of other viewers.
The top management couldn't bring themselves to accept the situation, and they felt that the more they did at this time, the more likely it would arouse suspicion, so they just gritted their teeth and continued to endure it, watching the situation develop in the live broadcast room.
As for whether they would hold a grudge against the live streamer Jiang Lai, and take revenge on him afterwards... Jiang Lai didn't care.
He opened the live broadcast room not to steal or rob, but to make money openly and consensually, so why can't he do that? The secret of the astral plasma incident that had been hidden was exposed, and we can only say that God has eyes.
Although the top management are a bunch of short-sighted, self-protective idiots, they are not stupid.
They would not really do anything to the little sheep Jiang Lai openly. At most, they would make things difficult for him secretly and deliberately assign him some dangerous tasks.
Of course, the little sheep Jiang Lai is not afraid of offending people. On the one hand, he has his own abilities, and on the other hand, he has the strongest backing. Gojo Satoru will not allow the upper management to bully the young Jiang Lai.
However, I will need to give more instructions to Qi Haihai in the future, Jiang Lai thought to himself.
Those high-ranking officials have dark hearts and might target those close to them. Nanami is his nominal guardian, so don't let the high-ranking officials trick you.
Of course, maybe these Nanami Kento had already thought of it, and considered it more thoroughly than himself. Jiang Lai thought again. After all, Nanami is a rare and reliable adult in the world of magic.
In the live broadcast, after Gojo Satoru's words, some of the past shadows appeared between Geto's eyebrows. He put on a half-smile and said, "Such a good method, I really want to learn it."
"You learned it?" Gojo Satoru followed the character's setting and hummed in response, "Aren't your current methods even more difficult to understand?"
"We have nothing to discuss." Xia Yujie's expression returned to his previous indifference, and he answered according to the script, "You don't understand, I won't force you. Because you have your life goals, and I have mine - we are no longer on the same path."
Gojo Satoru paused and asked bluntly, "Do you care about this?"
What he was referring to was of course the Kuroi Misato incident that was happening right before his eyes, and also the asteroid incident that year.
"Maybe there is a hidden story, but it has nothing to do with me." Xia Youjie replied lightly, his long sleeves fluttering, his face aloof and detached from the world, without any unnecessary emotions in his facial features, "The past is the past, Wu."
"Is it all over?" Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows but did not raise his voice. His glass-like eyes stared at the person in front of him.
"Are you serious, Jay?" The white-haired man spoke in a normal tone, but with too much emotion mixed in, so his speech became slow. "Do you really think so?"
"..." Xia Yujie didn't say anything more, his expression already explained everything.
Gojo Satoru looked at the other person deeply, and the six eyes that could see through everything only received disappointment.
His pure white eyelids drooped and fell on Kuroi Misato in the ice crystals. His voice became casual again, as if it came unreal from a distant place:
"... Never mind. It doesn't matter. You go your way, and I'll go mine."
"That's right." Xia Yujie nodded in response with a false and polite smile on his face.
Gojo Satoru didn't look at him. He gathered cursed energy at his fingertips, trying to break through the layer of ice.
Xia Yujie did not stop him, and seemed to have lost the intention to continue the fight. He calmly scanned the ice crystals and waved to take back the special curse spirit on standby beside him.
After the initial gaffe, it seemed that nothing could stir up the waves in his heart anymore.
At this moment, Xia Yujie said casually: "There is nothing to fight about. Just take care of your business, Wu. There is no need to waste time between us."
After he finished speaking, he had no intention of staying any longer. He quickly and decisively summoned the flying curse spirit in the shape of a manta ray again, leaped onto it, and was about to leave.
The past is the past after all. Having already embarked on the path of justice, he will not change his mind for anyone - this is the character setting of Geto Suguru.
Gojo Satoru didn't say goodbye, nor did he look up.
His eyes were only on the ice crystals. No one could see through his expressionless appearance and see his true thoughts.
After a while, the cursed power that had been condensed for a long time at his fingertips finally popped out and landed accurately on the ice crystals. He controlled it perfectly and shattered the ice crystals without actually hurting the people inside.
Misato Kuroi escaped from the ice crystal bondage, but still slept quietly.
"Wei Lai." Gojo Satoru called the brown-haired boy, "Come and help. We are ready to leave."
"Okay, Mr. Gojo~" Little Sheep Jiang Lai responded, and then waved to the live broadcast room, "Then our live broadcast ends here. The final outcome was unexpectedly no winner, so no one bet was right, and the dealer took it all~"
This was naturally a planned outcome. That's why Jiang Lai only gave two single-player options, AB, and no draw option.
Just kidding, how could he let others win? That's impossible. Once the small amount of money is taken in, there is no reason to give it back.
He smiled slyly and winked at the camera: "Thank you for your patronage, and I look forward to seeing you next time!"
After he finished speaking, the little sheep Jiang Lai didn't hesitate and closed the live broadcast room neatly.
——Anyway, everything that should be broadcast has been broadcast, and the purpose has been achieved. The next thing is that they will review it themselves and find a way to wake up Kuroi Misato.
All the hostile attitudes and conflicts of thought were frankly revealed in the live broadcast room, so that they could all see with their own eyes that the close friends of the past have now become strangers and have no unnecessary connection with each other.
Because their acting was very realistic, and with such a big incident happening at the scene involving Kuroi Misato, no one was nitpicking about the details and doubting their behavior, and everyone believed that what they saw was the truth.
No one could have guessed that Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru had never quarreled from the beginning.
On the other hand, Jia Ru Nishiko, who also opened the live broadcast room in the technical college, slowly put on her medical gloves again after the live broadcast ended, and prepared to continue working.
Knowing all the inside story, she thought to herself: These two people's acting skills have improved rapidly. They are much smarter than when they were in college.
It looked like they were really in opposition and disappointed with each other.
Fortunately, this time, I didn't really see them split up and end up together. Ieiri Shoko looked far ahead. It was enough to restart the previous first round.
Now, they have to recover the lost items step by step.
