Chapter 81

What would a perfect world look like?

Everyone has a different understanding of this, and these understandings change all the time as people's cognition develops.

This is also the reason why most people resist [Infinite Monthly Reading] - because it is false and unchanging.

Uchiha Madara had failed once in the past, and that experience obviously left him with valuable experience, so he improved and tried to realize his wish in reality.

In Gojo Satoru's view, being able to prevent the birth of the curse directly from its source in reality is simply a feat worthy of being recorded in history, and it is an ideal that many generations have only dared to pursue in their dreams.

Bai Yun was shocked after following Gojo Satoru's train of thought. He looked at the man in front of him and asked tentatively, "What do you think he will do next?"

"have no idea."

Gojo Satoru's answer was very straightforward and clear: "From the time he appeared until now, every action he took has been beyond my expectations. It is too difficult to predict his actions. I don't think it is necessary to waste time on this."

Bai Yun: "...I'm free now anyway, why don't you just guess?"

When Gojo Satoru looked over, he shrugged his shoulders and calmly explained, "Gather some ideas."

Indeed, he himself did not guess, but others could not help but think too much.

Gojo Satoru accepted this statement. After a moment's silence, he said, "Although there is no curse now, there will still be fights between people."

The current murder case is a good example. And even before the [Infinite Moonlight Reading], the casualties caused by humans killing each other were much greater than the relatively limited number of curses.

"So the next step is to resolve the friction between humans."

But in Gojo Satoru's eyes, this step is more difficult than all the feats Uchiha Madara had done before.

The huge size of the human population, which numbers in the billions, makes it impossible for Uchiha Madara to handle all the details personally.

At this time, it is necessary to formulate a unified standard.

Gojo Satoru adjusted his posture in his seat and stared at his reflection in the window in deep thought for a moment.

From his angle, he could see the profile of the person in the back seat in the reflection.

He was a middle-aged man who looked particularly tired.

He kept looking at the time on his watch, frowning. Gojo Satoru could sense his anxiety, but that anxiety was not due to the fact that he was in the same room with a murderer.

The man was anxious because he realized that the murder would most likely have an impact on his future travel plans.

This person with extremely low empathy obviously does not match the imagined perfect world, but at the same time, he is cautious and buries his dissatisfaction deep in his heart, and indeed does not cause trouble to others.

People who are in the gray area are the most difficult to deal with.

This will also be the most critical problem facing Uchiha Madara in Gojo Satoru's eyes.

If Uchiha Madara wants to replicate his ideals in the real world, he cannot just be a simple executioner. He must consider more than anyone else.

Bai Yun fell into deep thought.

He is now seriously thinking about a question: Is being misunderstood by Gojo Satoru the first step towards localization?

The world consciousness is still asleep, and Bai Yun's confusion is destined to remain unanswered for the time being.

There was still some time before the train arrived at the next stop, and Conan Edogawa had almost finished taking the photos. The suspects were also gathered together, and were being questioned by the seven-year-old child one by one.

After inferring the approximate time of the victim's death based on the testimony of passers-by, Conan Edogawa took out a small notebook and began to question very professionally: "What is your relationship with the victim? Where were you when the crime happened?"

The suspect frowned, his face full of rebellion: "Why should I tell you?"

"Uncle Maori asked me to ask this."

"!" The suspect was shocked: "Which Uncle Maori? Is he the legendary 'sleeping detective'?"

After the name of Kogoro Mori was brought up, the suspects were more or less willing to speak up because of the reputation of the famous detective.

However, due to the lack of professional personnel, the progress on site is not fast.

Bai Yun didn't want to join in, so they just watched from a distance as the fake child moved among a group of adults who were almost twice their height, and chatted with them.

"So, I've never come across a homicide case before. What is the general process?"

Bai Yun followed her character and shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't experienced it either."

Gojo Satoru nodded: "That's right, you were imprisoned for so long and just released, it's normal that you don't know."

Bai Yun thought that the topic would end there, but Gojo Satoru added: "It is said that anyone involved in the case will be taken to take a statement. Do you think we are involved?"

Bai Yun finally realized what Gojo Satoru wanted to say.

Although I think the police will not check all passengers, after all, he not only evaded the fare, but also had no identification. It would be difficult to explain if he was caught.

Bai Yun first expressed his gratitude to Gojo Satoru for his reminder, and then planned to find a corner to disappear by himself.

As a result, Gojo Satoru followed.

Facing Bai Yun's confused gaze, Gojo Satoru tilted his head: "What's wrong?"

"Why did you follow me?"

Bai Yun was very confused. He tried to explain the other party's actions with his own thoughts: "Even if you follow me all the time, the probability of meeting Uchiha Madara and others is very low."

Specifically speaking, with Bai Yun's deliberate intervention, this probability can be precisely controlled at 0.

Gojo Satoru waved his hands, indicating that Bai Yun was overthinking: "No, I didn't plan to sit all the way to the station."

"I also met you by accident. Of course I didn't have time to buy a ticket."

Then how are you still sitting so steadily?

While complaining about Gojo Satoru, Bai Yun also realized something: since he didn't have a ticket, doesn't that mean that Gojo Satoru chose to sit next to Conan and the others?

What is this? The mutual attraction between the pets of different worlds? Or did I just accidentally reveal my concern for Conan Edogawa and Gojo Satoru noticed it?

Bai Yun still didn't fully understand the situation until Gojo Satoru took the lead in opening the window that he thought was impossible to open, and the two of them jumped out of the car together.

However, even if Gojo Satoru thinks there is something wrong with Edogawa Conan, it seems to have nothing to do with Bai Yun.

He believed that even if Gojo Satoru was officially involved in a murder case because of his excessive attention to Conan, or even went a step further and was involved in the confrontation between Red and Black, he would be able to escape unscathed.

When the accident happened, the train was already very close to City C. The journey back to Beika Town was actually much longer. Bai Yun thought about it for two seconds and finally decided to go to City C first.

Although the journey was not far, Bai Yun still chose to take a taxi. This time he took the initiative to ask Gojo Satoru to come with him and deliberately put him in the front seat.

When they finally arrived at their destination, Bai Yun jumped out as soon as the car stopped, leaving Gojo Satoru in the car and the taxi driver looking at each other in bewilderment.

When Gojo Satoru realized what was happening, he couldn't help but laugh. When he was paying, the driver, who had been silent because he had picked up two strange passengers, finally felt a little popular. He relaxed and started to say something nonsense: "You two have a really good relationship."

As the driver was giving out change, he recalled the two men's similar hair colors and clothing styles, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you brothers?"

Gojo Satoru laughed even louder. He collected the change and replied, "That's about right!"

We are all family anyway, just with a small generation difference... There's nothing wrong with calling us brothers!

Bai Yun, who was outside the car, could vaguely hear the conversation inside. He was speechless for a moment, but considering that Hatake Kakashi's personality didn't seem like the type who would mind such a small matter, he simply pretended not to hear it.

In the following time, Gojo Satoru was in a good mood. For a period of time, he seemed to realize that his ancestor had just been "unearthed" and had neither status nor money, so he was very active every time he paid the bill.

Even Bai Yun felt that it was a bit too positive.

When Bai Yun was distracted by something and a doll that was being sold was stuffed into his hand, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"Hmm?" Gojo Satoru, with a newly bought cloth bag on his arm, filled with the tattered things he just bought, turned back with some confusion: "Isn't it normal to respect your elders?"

Bai Yun wanted to ask you why you didn't have this attitude towards Old Orange before, but because "Hatake Kakashi" shouldn't know these details, he could only say tactfully: "I really didn't realize you were such a traditional person. Were you like this before?"

Gojo Satoru said calmly: "As for what I said before, I have never met an elder in the usual sense."

Everyone needs spiritual support, even the special ones and the strongest ones.

Although Gojo Satoru would not admit it, during this period, when he met people who were on the same level as him - or to be more precise, people from the past whose details he still couldn't figure out, Gojo Satoru felt the excitement of facing the challenge and the pressure of responsibility, but sometimes, he would feel relaxed.

If Gojo Satoru is the 52HZ whale, he can usually only hear the sounds of other schools of fish, but no one can hear him.

So his life recently is like receiving a slight response amidst the noisy sound waves.

That made Gojo Satoru feel like he was still alive.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Gojo Satoru's stance will change because of this. The boundaries in his heart have always been very clear. It's just that when it's harmless, he does want to try a life he has never experienced before.

For example, what does it feel like to have an elder who is strong enough but not timid.

Bai Yun could vaguely sense that he was being treated as an old man who was out of touch with the times. Gojo Satoru was clearly a doting young man in this regard. As long as the "old man" at home was interested in something, he would buy it regardless of whether it was good or bad.

Bai Yun stood aside, not knowing what to do, holding a long, 1.8-meter-tall doll that was probably modeled after a sacred tree.

By the time they finally arrived at the hotel that Gojo Satoru had booked at some point, it was already time for dinner. Bai Yun was about to ask how to register without an identity card, but Gojo Satoru led him to a rest area nearby.

"I'm going to check in. You stay here and watch over the things."

Before Bai Yun could refuse, Gojo Satoru placed a bag of sacred tree relics next to him and then strode away.

Bai Yun looked at himself, then glanced around. Sitting around him were either old men and women or children. There was only one person left on the scene, and everyone was waiting for the young main force to finish their work and come back to "claim" them.

During this process, Bai Yun accidentally made eye contact with a kind-looking old lady. She was so old that all her teeth had fallen out and her lips were a little sunken, but she was still stubbornly grinding a piece of butter biscuit with her teeth marks.

After noticing Bai Yun's gaze, she paused for two seconds, and then, as if afraid of being snatched away, she quickly stuffed the biscuit into her mouth and spread her hands to indicate that she had no more.

Bai Yun turned his gaze away with a wooden face. He was afraid that if he looked at the old lady for a few more seconds, he would be choked.

Just as he was waiting obediently for Gojo Satoru to come back, a familiar voice came from the door.

"Ah! It's the big brother from before!"

Bai Yun turned her head and almost wanted to sigh when she saw Edogawa Conan.

Why you again???
