Chapter 27 (Exclusive to Jinjiang Literature City)
Upon hearing Jingyuan's suggestion, Gojo Satoru revealed a thoughtful expression.
Indeed, although he has always held the title of the strongest sorcerer in the world of sorcery, he doesn't have much power. In many cases, he relies on his strength so that the higher-ups can't do anything about him and therefore turn a blind eye.
Jingyuan didn't care what Gojo Satoru would do after considering it; his mind was full of things like "I have a cat now," "Mimi's paw pads feel amazing," and "She looks so cute when she yawns."
Keke took more than a dozen photos, which Jingyuan not only sent to Fu Xuan and Gin, but also showed off in their small group chat for the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow.
Looking contentedly at the "cute" and "I want one too" comments sent by his friends and juniors, Jingyuan revealed a satisfied expression.
"Should we give it a name?" Ieiri Shoko asked.
"Hmm... let's call it Mimi," Jingyuan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jingyuan saw that Ieiri Shoko had the exact same expression as Aozumi when he heard that he had renamed Mimi "Wave-Treading Snow Lion".
"I'm not good at naming things," Jing Yuan said somewhat embarrassedly.
The female doctor nodded: "Don't worry, your talent in this area is already much better than that idiot Wu's."
She didn't want to recall how Gojo Satoru had named a dog Kennedy simply because the dog had a patch of black fur on its forehead that looked like it had been pierced by a bullet.
What kind of hellish jokes are these?
"My taste is amazing, okay?" Gojo Satoru immediately bristled when he heard his friend whispering bad things about him. "It's much better than you naming your dog GOD, isn't it?"
"What do you mean?" Jing Yuan asked, puzzled.
Shoko Ieiri explained, "Since GOD is reversed and DOG is reversed, is there anything wrong with me naming DOG GOD?"
Jing Yuan: "..."
Great, no problem at all.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Gojo Satoru asked Kagemoto to release the Rokuroku, intending to interrogate the ancient monster who had lived for over a thousand years in more detail.
Jingyuan also wanted to know how Lu Suo had broken through the limits of humanity and lived to this point, so he released it out of the small gourd.
"How disgusting." It was the first time Ieiri Shoko had ever seen teeth growing on a brain. "It's a bit of a mental pollution."
Lu Suo wasn't angry about this; he just chuckled and said, "I hope you'll say the same thing after you've met Tian Yuan."
"What do you mean by that?" Shoko Ieiri's eyes sharpened.
What do you think?
The strange, grating voice of the tatsuzaku irritated Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko, and even Kagemoto showed a look of disgust.
"In your eyes, what is Tengen? The guardian deity of Japan? Have you ever thought about why, even though the whole of Japan is under her protection, cursed spirits are still being created in an endless stream? Why are cursed spirits so scarce in other countries besides Japan?"
"Sorcerers and such, what utterly foolish!" Lu Suo's tone was full of sarcasm. "Do you really know what kind of person your idol, Lord Tianyuan, really is?"
What exactly is Lord Tengen?
A long time ago, Gojo Satoru had asked this question, but both Yagami Masamichi and Natsuyuki told him that Lord Tengen was the one who protected Japan, and that even the various barrier techniques they used relied on Lord Tengen to enhance their strength.
If Lady Tianyuan had not merged with the Star Essence Body and thus rewritten her physical information, she might have lost her mind and become an enemy of all humanity.
"Both are unstable beings, yet you treat Tengen and Otsuku Yuuta with completely different attitudes." Tōsō continued, quite pleased with the expressions on Gojō Satoru and Ieiri Shoko's faces. "Back in your student days, you two had Yagura Seidō protecting you, but now, I think you both understand very well how murky the hands of those higher-ups in the jutsu world are, right? If that's the case, why do you still let them drive you around? Ah, I almost forgot, you're higher-ups now too~"
“That’s true. You two, one from one of the three founding families, and the other considered a valuable asset to the world of sorcery, are both beneficiaries,” Rōsō said with a smile. “Betraying one’s own class is easier said than done…”
"You have a good way with words." Jing Yuan interrupted Lu Suo. "You're starting to resemble the bountiful creatures more and more."
Jingyuan couldn't help but want to knock its teeth out one by one.
After comforting the slightly uneasy kitten in his arms, Jingyuan looked at the silent Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko.
"What? Has it swayed you?"
Gojo Satoru subconsciously shook his head: "No, not at all."
Following the enemy's line of thought is foolish; even if Gojo Satoru had the most bizarre thought process, he wouldn't do such a thing.
"I just feel it's necessary to see Lord Tengen."
He had many questions, and no one but Tianyuan could answer them.
"What should we do with this brain?" Ieiri Shoko carefully poked it with her fingertip, and the disgusting touch made her shudder. "I think it's better to just remove it."
This thing is really good at talking. It probably used its mouth to trick those newly born top-tier cursed spirits into coming to its side and working for it for free.
Moreover, the world of sorcery is about to enter a period of great chaos, so sealing it in the Gojo family is not a good idea.
"Can we leave it with you for now?" Gojo Satoru asked Kagemoto. "The same goes for the other cursed spirits."
Jing Yuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but still agreed: "Okay."
"Thanks a lot then." Gojo Satoru smiled. "I'll treat you to something delicious later~"
"good."
After that, it was time for Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko to have a private conversation, so Kagemoto, holding the kitten, said goodbye.
Because he had finally obtained his beloved raccoon dog, Kyungwon was in a very happy mood until evening, when Gin pushed the chocolate-filled dumplings in front of him.
"...Can I not eat?" Jing Yuan asked weakly.
GIN sneered, "When you made a move in my house, didn't you think about the consequences?"
"I didn't know back then," Jing Yuan tried to brush it off. "There are so many people in Japan with the surname Kurosawa, how would I know that the property was under your name?"
"Heh." GIN didn't believe his nonsense. This guy definitely knew it was his house.
"Don't be angry, the house wasn't damaged anyway." Jingyuan held his beloved cat in front of Gin with both hands. "Here, pet it as much as you want."
Gin looked at the furry little animal with some disdain: "I don't like things that shed."
"You talk like you don't lose hair," Jing Yuan muttered under his breath, then pulled his heart back. "Can a cat that doesn't shed even be called a cat?"
At this point, Jingyuan suddenly remembered that his breasts were cursed and might not actually shed.
Hmm, it seems he'll have to contact Gojo Satoru again.
Jingyuan was already very skilled at coaxing children. Even the proud and arrogant Fu Taibu was coaxed into willingly working overtime for him, and even worried about whether his boss had rested enough. So Gin was quickly appeased by Jingyuan and withdrew the chocolate dumplings.
"Did you come to me before because there was something you wanted to say in person?" GIN asked.
Jingyuan asked, "How much do you know about Conan Edogawa?"
"how?"
“He seems to be investigating you,” Jing Yuan said. “So I want to confirm the relationship between the two of you.”
After telling Gin about Conan Edogawa's repeated probing, Kagemoto said, "This kid cares about you a lot..."
"Stop watching melodramatic TV dramas." GIN interrupted his guess directly, "I don't have children."
“I didn’t say it was a child.” Jing Yuan blinked innocently. “Maybe he’s the son of your enemy, and he’s looking for you to take revenge.”
“I always kill people cleanly,” Gin said.
"Oh, what about Shuichi Akai?" Jingyuan asked without malice.
GIN: "..."
“I know you hate the FBI, but there’s no need for him to affect your original plans,” Jing Yuan said. “Don’t forget why you joined the Black Organization in the first place.”
GIN remained silent for a long time.
“…I know,” he said. “I know what I should do.”
"That's good." Jing Yuan nodded.
GIN isn't a child; he doesn't need Kyungwon to teach him how to do things step by step. He just needs a little reminder.
“I plan to take action next month,” Gin said.
Jingyuan recalled the newspaper he had seen that morning and then said, "Is something really wrong with America?"
“That’s right,” GIN said. “There’s a problem with the people with superpowers, led by Edgar Allan Poe, and things are in complete chaos now.”
Jingyuan: "Is it the same as the situation in Russia?"
“Yes,” GIN said. “It’s not just America, but also Britain and France, especially France, where André Gide has brought his supernatural organization Mimic.”
"Wow~" Jing Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder you're planning to close the net now; this is the perfect time to make your move."
The reason why the Black Organization has been able to run rampant internationally for so many years without being wiped out is entirely due to the covert support from Western countries led by America. Now that their own Superhumans are running into problems one after another, they have no time to deal with it anymore, which naturally makes it easier for GIN to launch a big attack.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Jing Yuan asked with a smile.
“Keep an eye on that kid,” Gin said. “He doesn’t need to go to hell with the crow.”
Regardless of who Conan Edogawa is, Gin has no intention of wasting time investigating him. What he needs to do now is to kick Karasuma Renya and his organization to hell.
