Chapter 17

When a person is asked multiple questions, he or she often misses answering some of them for various reasons.

For example, Bai Yun was so shocked by Kakashi's curse theory that he forgot to clarify the matter of the six eyes.

Therefore, Bai Yun didn't know that Gojo Satoru was seamlessly jumping into another deep pit from a wrong answer.

After a few simple questions and answers, both parties stopped tacitly. A sorcerer and a so-called top-grade cursed spirit reached an agreement in a strange way, and neither of them had any visible wounds when they left.

As for the inner trauma, it is unknown.

While these two people have finished their work and can rest, many other people are forced to work overtime because of them.

Let's go back to earlier today.

At that time, Gojo Satoru had just shared his version 1.0 rumor with his dear juniors and students, and then went to meet Yoshino Junpei with confidence.

After he entered the interrogation room, a high-level envoy arrived as he had expected.

"What's going on!?"

The high-ranking envoy questioned Ijichi with the same arrogance as his master: "Didn't Gojo Satoru accept the mission and should be abroad now?"

"About this..." Yijichi's face was covered with cold sweat, and he subconsciously wanted to lift up the briefcase to isolate the high-level envoy who was approaching step by step.

"This, this is because..." Ijichi stammered for a long time, trying to recall what Gojo Satoru said when he asked him what he should answer if someone asked him.

Oh, yes.

Gojo Satoru told the top brass to die.

Ichichi: “…”

It doesn't matter what you say about Gojo Satoru himself, since no one can touch him anyway, but Ijichi, a small assistant supervisor, still cherishes his life very much.

The high-ranking envoy frowned and took another step forward: "What? Are you mute?"

"That..."

Ichichi thought about it over and over again, but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.

In front of him was the aggressive messenger, and in his arms were a bunch of tasks assigned to him by Gojo Satoru.

The migrant worker Yi Dizhi woke up at that moment.

Why should he take the blame for Gojo Satoru!

After all...it's not like Gojo Satoru can't recite it by himself!

Ijichi, who was awake but not completely, took a deep breath, thinking that Gojo Satoru himself was right in between them and that the sorcerer in front of him would never hit him no matter what.

Although he still sounded weak when he spoke again, he did not hold back at all: "Mr. Gojo is in the interrogation room right now. If you need any answers to the questions just now, just knock on the door and go in and ask him directly."

The messenger blushed as he held back his anger: "You——!"

Putting aside whether he has the courage to face the moody Gojo Satoru alone, the fact that Ijichi talked back at him was enough to break his defense.

He is called a messenger, but in fact he is just an errand boy.

The top leaders in the world of sorcery place great emphasis on seniority and bloodline. As a member of a branch family of a small family, he originally thought that as long as he was strong enough he could rise to the top, but he was later stuck at the grassroots level, which was very frustrating.

But now even a small assistant supervisor dares to treat her like this!

Just when he was about to do something irreparable due to his rage, Ichichi's next words changed his mind.

"And if you change your mind, Mr. Gojo has something for you."

"He said 'You have an old friend back'."

*

"Old acquaintance?"

When the high-level envoy reported back with these words, all the members who heard the report looked confused.

This group of old idiots who usually do nothing but intrigue and fight each other looked at each other, and none of them saw anything wrong in the others' eyes.

The head of the Kamo family pondered for a moment and spoke first: "What does this mean?"

The messenger lowered his head, and his expression could not be seen clearly: "Gojo Satoru only said this, without further explanation."

The head of the Kamo family frowned, somewhat dissatisfied: "So you didn't ask Gojo Satoru why he suddenly disobeyed orders?"

He wanted to refute, but the next second, the head of the Kamo family raised his hand to stop him: "Forget it, leave."

Although he didn't say anything final, his disdain was already evident.

The messenger clenched his fists tightly, but finally nodded in agreement.

"Really, young people nowadays ..."

After all the irrelevant people were cleared out, someone slowly spoke up: "That's Gojo Satoru. Hasn't he disobeyed orders often enough?"

Although Gojo Satoru's version has been updated for many generations, it has never been reported to the top management.

Therefore, from the perspective of the top management, there are only three important things recently: the first is the appearance of the Ryomen Sukuna container, the second is the sudden increase in the number of special-grade cursed spirits, and the third is Gojo Satoru's recent abnormal behavior.

Among them, it seemed to them that Ryoumen Sukuna's container had been successfully destroyed, and as for the special grade cursed spirit...

Although the appearance of a large number of top-grade cursed spirits does sound scary, don't forget the definition of levels in the world of curses: sorcerers of the same level are enough to crush curses.

So even though special cursed spirits sound powerful, even some top-level first-class sorcerers are capable of removing them. Coupled with the four unshakable subordinates - now there are three special-level sorcerers - a few curses are not a threat to the top brass at all, and they will not take it seriously.

With so many reasons added up, the top management is now most concerned about what is wrong with Gojo Satoru.

"Although Gojo Satoru may seem eccentric, there is a purpose behind every action he takes."

The political enemy of the person who spoke earlier took the opportunity to say in a sinister tone: "Boss Shi Liu, you don't understand such a simple thing, do you?"

The head of the Ishigaki family sneered: "Yes, but if it turns out that the reason is the same as last time, 'in order to eat lunch on the Shinkansen, I refused to use magic to quickly reach the destination', will you be responsible for the time we wasted?"

"..." The man was convinced for a moment, but quickly reacted: "No, how are you going to explain the matter of 'old acquaintance' in this case!?"

The current head of the Zenin family, Zenin Naohito, was picking his ears.

As one of the few tough guys still on duty, he couldn't stand seeing a bunch of big bosses engaging in a war of words.

Zenin Naohito took a sip of the wine from the gourd he brought with him, and then smashed the empty bottle on the table.

The argument that was about to escalate suddenly quieted down.

Among the three families in this term, the head of the Kamo family is not capable, but the head of the Gojo family knows everything, so in the high-level meetings, the head of the Zenin family has a tendency to become the leader.

Although Zenin Naobi himself was not very interested in these messy things and was always present but rarely spoke, once he really had something to say, most people would give him face.

After the scene returned to silence, Zenin Naohito turned to the member in charge of intelligence and said, "Apart from this sentence, has Gojo Satoru done anything else unusual recently?"

The intelligence officer who was suddenly questioned quickly looked through the data: "Gojo Satoru's anti-detection ability is too strong, so it is difficult for us to track him, and the intelligence we can obtain is limited..."

After stacking his armor, he slowly revealed the only information he knew: "If I must say, the only abnormality he has shown recently is that he returned to the Gojo family a few days ago."

The head of the Kamo family frowned: "It's his own home after all, it's not strange for him to go back."

The head of the Kamo family is a very typical feudal family head. Everything he has belongs to his family, and everything in his family also belongs to him. In his view, it is incomprehensible for someone to not return to his family for a long time like Gojo Satoru did before.

The intelligence officer's expression became a little strange for a moment, and Zenin Naohito noticed this abnormality and told him to speak out if he had anything to say.

"It's mainly based on gossip." The intelligence officer hesitantly said what he had seen from the gossip group: "It seems that Gojo Satoru went back to look up the family tree."

Family tree?

Gojo Satoru suddenly returned home just to look through the family tree?

This thing exists in all the families here, but unless it is necessary, it is usually just hanging there and no one cares about it.

No. Everyone soon realized that although no one cared about it normally, once it was needed... it was basically a matter of importing more people.

Because of the information barrier, the senior executives who never thought about their ancestors, at this moment, had their imaginations collide with those of the Gojo family.

But it's not quite right.

Combined with the information that Gojo Satoru was a threat, they consciously took the blame on themselves.

One of the heads of a family whose status was second only to that of the Susan family stood up and looked at Zenin Naohito: "Master Zenin, I remember that Zenin Shinji rebelled against the Zenin family more than 20 years ago and had a child afterwards, right?"

Without waiting for the other party to respond, he looked to the other side and said, "And the head of the Kamo family took several concubines in order to give birth to an heir to the family tradition, right?"

"Are you sure there are no other members of your tribe left outside?"
