Chapter 157 Chapter 157 Buteizai: "Could it be that you and I...
157
When the familiar voice reached his ears, Li Xiaoqi was startled at first, then turned around quickly.
She opened her eyes wide, and the image of the white-haired man was reflected in her eyes.
"Yo."
Gojo Satoru raised his hand in greeting, then pulled up his eye mask, revealing his bright, brilliant blue eyes.
He suddenly leaned close to Li Xiaoqi and chuckled.
“Wow.”
"It's really Miss Nana."
Gojo Satoru dropped his blindfold and shoved his hands into his pockets. "Back then, you said you were leaving, but within two days, you disappeared."
"I didn't expect that ten years would have passed when we met again."
He sighed, turning around and leaning against the wall beside the road.
Li Xiaoqi blinked slowly and shouted happily.
"Gojo-kun!"
Gojo Satoru pondered for a moment, then stroked his chin and jokingly said, "Maybe I'm older than Miss Nana now?"
"Ah, if Miss Nana is immortal, then just ignore what I said."
Li Xiaoqi twitched his lips and complained, "Are you trying to say that I'm an immortal monster?"
Gojo Satoru laughed so hard that his shoulders shook, and he stretched out his index finger and shook it.
"No, no, I didn't say that."
He glanced behind Li Xiaoqi, "Where's Mr. Dazai? Didn't he come back with you?"
When Li Xiaoqi heard this, he immediately showed a distressed look.
“That’s what’s bothering me right now.”
"Everyone was separated when we came back...but they're probably nearby. We're looking for them now."
Gojo Satoru raised his brows. "Looks like there are others?"
Li Xiaoqi nodded honestly and said, "Yes, a new partner has joined."
Then, she added some settings for Sakata Gintoki based on what she had said before in this world.
"Mr. Gin is also a time traveler. We met and separated in Teyvat. He went to other worlds to collect elemental power and reunited with us in the last world."
Li Xiaoqi showed a gentle smile and looked up at Gojo Satoru.
"Miss Nana, you're such a fuss right after you came back. Aren't you afraid those old orange guys will come after you?"
After hearing this, Li Xiaoqi's brows were filled with helplessness and disappointment.
"Since I have the ability to help them, I can't just sit back and watch."
Gojo Satoru didn't say anything, but looked up and down at Li Xiaoqi jokingly.
Li Xiaoqi tilted his head and frowned, "Are you examining me from head to toe?"
Gojo Satoru's shoulders relaxed, and a look of relief seemed to pass across his brow.
"Sorry, sorry."
"Ms. Nana hasn't changed at all, thankfully."
Li Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, then he realized the difference in time between them.
For Gojo Satoru, ten years have passed.
But for her and Dazai Osamu, only a few months had passed.
Li Xiaoqi stood on tiptoe, compared his height with his, and changed the subject, asking, "By the way, Gojo-kun has grown quite a bit taller. How have you been these past ten years?"
Gojo Satoru was silent for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Ah, Miss Nana, aren't you going to ask where Jie is?"
"At least Jie was devoted to you back then, even though you rejected him ruthlessly in the end."
Through the black blindfold, Li Xiaoqi didn't know what his eyes were like at the moment, but he felt that his lips were much tighter.
"Where is Summer Oil-kun now?"
Gojo Satoru raised his head and looked towards the sky.
A crow flew across the sky, screaming as it flew over the telephone pole.
"One day, he left the Jujutsu High School and never came back."
"When we heard from him again, he had already become a curse master."
"Last year, Jie launched the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, unleashing numerous cursed spirits across Shinjuku and Tokyo, wreaking havoc on the world and committing an irreparable crime... In the end, I killed him with my own hands."
At the end of his speech, Gojo Satoru's voice became quieter.
Li Xiaoqi looked at Gojo Satoru's profile and asked, "Are you sure it's him?"
Gojo Satoru raised the corners of his lips, stood up straight, and spoke to her.
"It seems that Miss Nana knows something."
"Judging from your reaction, I probably know that it's not Geto-kun."
Li Xiaoqi said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.
Gojo Satoru's throat trembled, "Even if it wasn't him, I would still kill him."
Li Xiaoqi opened his lips slightly and sighed softly.
"I saw Geto in another world... No, it was the cursed spirit that possessed Geto-kun's body."
Gojo Satoru clenched his fists tightly. "Wha...what?"
Li Xiaoqi glanced at the map quietly, signaled Gojo Satoru to follow him, and walked towards the anchor point on the system map.
Turning left and right along the path, she told Gojo Satoru about her encounter with Geto Suguru in Infinite Castle.
"The cursed spirit that occupied Geto Suguru's body was called Nose. At the time, he was parasitized by a dimensional virus. After the dimensional virus takes over, it forms a consciousness called a system in the body. Because the energy dimension of the dimensional virus is higher than the cursed power, even if Nose is strong, he can't resist the power of the dimensional virus. In this way, the dimensional virus induced Nose to complete various tasks to collect space-time energy, and even came to the world where Tai, my brother and I are, trying to steal the energy from us..."
"Finally, we eliminated the virus in Nozomi, and they should have returned to this world."
Of course, it has been polished a bit.
Gojo Satoru frowned and nodded slightly.
"As expected, as long as it's related to you, anything is possible."
He frowned, hiding his emotions and pretending to be relaxed.
Li Xiaoqi raised his hand, patted his shoulder and laughed.
"Don't worry, Geto-kun's body is still alive. His body is occupied, and his soul is somewhere unknown."
"Fortunately, the noose didn't kill him when it took over his body. Even though the body possessed by the cursed spirit was fatally wounded by your attack, it must have recovered through some means."
"Hmm... Last Christmas, Nozomi was probably already possessed by the dimensional virus."
When Li Xiaoqi finished speaking, he stood at the door of a cafe.
She saw the barista busy at the bar, and the familiar environment of the store made her fall silent.
Li Xiaoqi raised his head and saw a red wall.
She looked to the upper right corner and saw the name of the coffee shop - "Whirlpool".
Sure enough, at the Armed Detective Agency.
"Attention! The anchor point is within fifty meters. Please activate the anchor point as soon as possible."
Gojo Satoru looked stunned, his breath disordered for a moment.
He lowered his head and covered his face, his shoulders shaking with laughter.
"I knew it... I knew it..."
"Jay, he won't die."
"He played the role of Jay very well at the time, so I didn't expose him. I just secretly investigated what was going on, but unfortunately I had no clues..."
Suddenly, Gojo Satoru's cell phone rang.
He received an urgent task and looked at her after hurriedly hanging up the phone.
"No wonder there's been no news about Jie's actions during this period. It turns out he was severely damaged by you guys."
"Sorry, the Jujutsu High School has been attacked. I have to go back first."
"I'll come find you later."
Gojo Satoru slapped the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"jingle--"
The door of the cafe opened, and the barista with gray hair on his temples smiled and invited Li Xiaoqi, "I see you've been standing at the door for a long time. Would you like to come in and sit down?"
Li Xiaoqi showed a hesitant look. After thinking for a moment, he was about to refuse when suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder.
"My beautiful lady, the coffee here is delicious."
"Come in."
A familiar voice sounded beside his ears. Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide and quickly looked back.
The iris-colored eyes reflected her face, the sunlight fell on the man, and the sapphire on his chest reflected fragments of light.
She blinked slowly, her expression of joy turning into surprise.
It's Dazai Osamu of the Armed Detective Agency.
Dazai Osamu smiled, put his hands on Li Xiaoqi's shoulders, and pushed her inside.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll pay."
Li Xiaoqi was stunned and was pushed to the bar by Dazai Osamu.
A girl in a black kimono with a white apron tied in front of her passed by with a tray. She glanced at Dazai Osamu and said with a smile, "Mr. Dazai, please settle the credit you have at our store before you pay."
Dazai Osamu laughed twice, coughed lightly and said, "Let's ask Kunikida to reimburse us, ok."
Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched and he stood beside the chair at the bar.
She watched the barista take out brown coffee beans from the cabinet. The rich aroma of coffee filled her nose, and she suddenly felt a sense of unreality.
Dazai Osamu sat down next to Li Xiaoqi, his light brown skirt fluttering. He smiled and said to the barista, "Manager, a cup of black coffee, hand-brewed by the manager, please. Thank you~"
"What would you like, miss? Latte or Americano?"
Li Xiaoqi stared at Dazai Osamu in amazement, met his inquiring gaze, and subconsciously said, "It's all right."
Dazai Osamu nodded lightly and ordered another cup of black coffee.
Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips slightly and suddenly felt a headache.
She originally wanted to go up directly to see where the anchor point was, but she never expected to be intercepted here.
Li Xiaoqi thought of Kunikida Doppo's complaints. If Kunikida Doppo knew that Dazai Osamu had returned to this coffee shop to slack off, he would probably be so angry that his lungs would explode.
"It seems that the young lady is a little disappointed to see me."
Dazai Osamu raised his hand to hold his left cheek and smiled.
Li Xiaoqi groaned for a moment and said, "Just now I thought it was my companion."
Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows and suddenly moved closer.
"Do I look a lot like the young lady's companion?"
Li Xiaoqi met his gaze without hesitation, curved his eyebrows and smiled.
"Um... yes."
Dazai Osamu was stunned, and a questioning look flashed across his brows.
"My name is Dazai, Dazai Osamu."
He extended his hand and introduced himself.
Li Xiaoqi nodded gently and said, "My name is... Li Xiaoqi, you can just call me Nana."
Dazai Osamu exclaimed in surprise: "Chinese? This is the first time I've seen one."
He laughed, his chest trembling slightly.
"Coffee for you two."
The manager placed the coffee on the bar and pushed it in front of Dazai Osamu and Li Xiaoqi.
Li Xiaoqi lowered his eyes, looked at the dark brown liquid in the cup, picked up the cup and took a sip.
“It smells so good.”
Dazai Osamu stopped putting down the sugar cube and looked at Li Xiaoqi.
"Miss Nana likes bitter taste?"
Li Xiaoqi shook his head and smiled, "Coffee has a unique aroma amidst its bitterness. I like to drink it without sugar on the first sip."
"All anchors please activate the anchor point at the Armed Detective Agency within two hours and successfully rendezvous. Otherwise, the mission will be considered a failure."
"Streamer Li Xiaoqi is being entangled by Buteizai. How can he escape and find his teammates or activate the anchor point?"
As soon as she answered Dazai Osamu's question, a system prompt sounded in her mind.
The smile on Li Xiaoqi's face froze and he silently put down the coffee.
Where are those two guys?
"I wonder what Miss Nana's companion looks like? I can help Miss Nana find it."
Dazai Osamu handed over the business card and placed it next to Li Xiaoqi's coffee cup.
Li Xiaoqi took the business card and thanked him politely.
"Then, Mr. Dazai, have you ever seen a man wearing a black woolen hood and a black suit?"
"And there's a man with silver curly hair and dead fish eyes?"
Based on previous experience, Li Xiaoqi thought that the image of the leader in this world was probably that of a suspicious person wearing a bandit mask.
Dazai Osamu: “…Huh?”
In his mind, after the administrator June finished reading out the options, Li Xiaoqi suddenly grabbed the business card with a gritted teeth look.
