Chapter 299 The real murderer! "Speaking of which, you are...
"Come to think of it, shouldn't you explain to me the little secret between you two?" Ieiri Naoko folded her arms and said bluntly, "You suddenly came back in that state, suddenly asked me to help cover it up, and suddenly I don't know where you disappeared..."
"Are you still hiding it from me now?" The girl with short brown hair was obviously unhappy.
"Because I have to pretend to be sick, I can't speak, but..." The player glanced at Ieiri Naoko secretly, then said in a rhythmic voice, "But I remember I told Gojo!"
"How could it be me? Aurora clearly handed this matter over to Jie." Gojo Satoru shook his head and decisively passed the buck.
Geto: "...Not at all."
Ieiri Shoko: "Anyway, no matter who it was, they didn't tell me—"
Player: “…”
Gojo Satoru: "..."
Players eager to accuse: "It's all Gojo's fault!"
Gojo Satoru, eager to pass the blame, said: "It's all Jie's fault!"
"...You two guys." Suguru Geto, who suddenly became the culprit, was silent for a while, then sneered and released the curse spirit in an unbearable state.
"Wow." Looking at the angry Geto Suguru, Gojo Satoru laughed even more happily.
"Well, it was because it happened suddenly." The player looked at Ieiri Naoko's increasingly grim expression and said cautiously, "Anyway, Naoko, I'll explain right away!"
The player decisively took out the arrow to display the radar, and then chattered on and on, telling Jialiu Glass everything that happened during his mission.
"That's it." The player, who was using his hands and mouth at the same time, took a sip of water in the midst of his busy schedule.
"...So, for various reasons, Gojo and Geto just had a scene at the General Manager's Office, and they've set up invisible monitoring and tracking arrows to catch the real culprit." Ieiri Shoko sighed and muttered softly, "Really...it's such a big deal, they might as well not have told me."
Having said that, Ieiri Shoko looked at the arrow-shaped radar with an eager look in her eyes.
"If that arrow leaves the switch more than ten kilometers away, a beeping sound will be emitted." The player deftly manipulated the buttons on the radar device, revealing the movement paths of all the invisible monitoring and tracking arrows. "Now it looks like... eh?"
"What's wrong? What happened?" Gojo Satoru leaned forward and asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Geto Suguru and Naoko Ieiri also leaned forward. In such a large medical room, four heads were pressed tightly together, and with the light reflected by the surrounding green plants, they looked like a giant four-leaf clover, shining brightly.
"I have a total of 20 invisible tracking arrows. I gave five of them, eight to Geto, and four to Haruharu and Ikeda's classmates at Sakura Junior High." The player frowned, scrolling across the screen. "How come there are only 19 glowing ones now... Did someone die?"
"That's impossible. I have restrained my strength." Thinking of the power of that Cang attack, Gojo Satoru coughed guiltily.
"Someone, please don't take it personally." The player glanced at Gojo Satoru and shook his head helplessly at his self-incrimination. "These arrows are darker and lighter, and are ranked according to the order they were marked. This completely motionless arrow is the lightest, so it must be the last one released."
"Could it be due to other reasons?"
Xia Yujie recalled the scene of the general director's meeting and said after a moment's thought, "I remember that the first people we met were the members of 'Window' who were directly conducting mission reconnaissance. There were four of them in total."
The boy with bangs and a bun followed Aurora's pattern and pointed to the darkest arrows at the top. "Those should be the four," he said. "Then, with the help of the Window members, we got the address of the Directorate meeting. We were intercepted by guards on our way in."
"I know this. There are four of them. Judging from their strength, they are probably level two sorcerers," Gojo Satoru rubbed his hair and said affirmatively.
"Those are the four," Ieiri Naoko pointed at the four arrows that had made three or five trips to headquarters in just one day. "Judging from the colors of the arrows and the information they've revealed, only a sorcerer would be this busy."
"What Nazōko said makes sense." Gojo Satoru snapped his fingers happily, then said in a deep voice, "Next are those lazy old orange guys."
"Except for the Gojo family who did not go at my request, the Kamo family, the Zenin family, the senior executives of the General Directorate, and the heads of other families also participated." Gojo Satoru counted on his fingers and named the people who were present at the scene one by one.
"If you count them in order, I posted the head of the Kamo family and the head of the Gomuki family..." said Geto Suguru.
"As for me, it's the head of the Zenin family, Old Orange Number One and Old Orange Number Two from the General Affairs Department..." Gojo Satoru suddenly remembered something and slapped the bed hard, excitedly speaking amidst the noise. "I remember now, when I was leaving that Japanese-style room, I happened to pass by Kamo Kenji. He had a servant with him. Even though he had a serious head injury, he still stayed by the side of the head of the Kamo family."
"Feudal families like Kamo place great importance on their reputation. Logically, they wouldn't allow servants with superficial wounds to be seen in public." Gojo Satoru smiled smugly and said, "It just so happened that there was no one around, so I gave him one as well when I passed by."
"And the four I have were all placed before I left Sakura Middle School. So..." the player said thoughtfully, looking at the gray invisible tracking arrows on the screen, "This one, which is gray but the lightest, belongs to the servant with the broken head."
"But why is it gray..." The puzzled player scratched his head, "Could it be that the head of the Kamo family secretly dealt with it because of shame?"
"...That's not the case." Ieiri Naoko frowned, unable to accept this speculation.
"Anyway, judging from the trajectory displayed on the screen, the most suspicious person is the servant following Kamo Kenji." Xia Yujie thought for a moment and clicked the gray arrow. "Let's focus on this person for the time being."
"That's right, and this time the General Directors' meeting is also under the charge of the Kamo family. It's true that there are problems within the Kamo family." Gojo Satoru touched his chin and said, "It's decided! Next, I'm going to have the Gojo family find trouble with them!"
"You guys have a point." The player nodded gravely. "It's better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go. We need to find a stealthy time to sack that guy!"
Mission Completed
[Task rewards have been distributed to players' backpacks]
Most of the players were just echoing Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru: "??!"
What? The real culprit behind this is actually that shabby-headed NPC servant who follows the Kamo family? But the player has never even met him... Could it be that the Kamo family, who are jealous of the players, is behind this?
Or... is it the player's own fault?
The player looked at the title he was wearing, "The Incredible Person," which increased all attributes by +5 but also increased the risk of accidents, and raised an eyebrow.
"Aurora, you must take me with you on such an interesting trip," Gojo Satoru said with a smile, "I can even put his family head in a sack together!"
How dare you scold him... This is totally intolerable!
The player nodded and opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the sudden opening of the medical room door. The sound coming from outside the door made the player quickly shut his mouth.
"Wu, tell me in person, what kind of sack are you going to put on?" Ye Mo Zhengdao, holding something unknown, stood at the door, with a creepy murderous look on his face.
Geto Suguru and Naoko Ieiri took a deep breath and quietly took a few steps back.
"Y...Yoga-sensei..." Gojo Satoru turned around with a click, trying to force a sweet smile. "Of course, we're talking about covering the flowers, plants, and trees at Jujutsu High School with sacks to protect them from the cold in the winter~~"
Bang!
————————
Gojo Satoru, who suddenly had several big bumps on his head, walked past him expressionlessly. Ye Mo Zhengdao glanced around and set his sights on the black-haired girl who was closest to him after the formation was organized.
"Aurora, I heard that you were injured during the mission. Are you okay?" The man, who looked a bit fierce and serious, softened his expression with some difficulty and asked in a soothing tone.
"Oh! Don't worry, Mr. Yemo, I'm not missing any limbs!" The player blinked, made a few healthy gestures, and said with full energy, "Although I still have some minor internal injuries, but thanks to Glass's super powerful reversal technique, I'm almost healed now!"
"Really? That's good." Ye Mo Zhengdao calmly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and handed the thing in his hand to the black-haired girl, "This is for you. It's what I promised you before."
"What the hell... Wow! It's a Cursed Skeleton in the shape of a flying-winged panda!" The incredibly surprised player excitedly glanced at the tall Teacher Ye Moth, then decisively accepted the unusually beautiful flying-winged panda. "Thank you, Teacher Ye Moth, you did a perfect job!"
"I'm glad you like it." Seeing the black-haired girl like it so much, Yega Zhengdao also smiled slightly, "The flying panda can not only serve as a companion, but also help you practice your magic power."
"If you don't keep your curse power stable, you'll be easily beaten by it."
"Oh oh... I will definitely train hard!" Looking at the doll that suddenly moved around because of distraction, the player took a breath and nodded cautiously, and the hand holding the flying-winged panda became more steady.
"Then... next, it's your turn."
Ye Moth Zhengdao turned his head and looked at Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru who were trying to slip away. The arc on the corner of his lips suddenly became straight, "Satoru, Geto, I hope you can explain this to me."
"Can you tell me about where you two were and what you did yesterday evening?"
