Chapter 20

"What happened to those members of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

“The ones you see survived.”

"Are all ghosts so powerful?"

"The Upper Six are the worst. There are many who are better than them."

On the dark road, Shinichi Hinata, wearing a Tokyo vest, walked in front holding a lantern to lead the way, and two high school students followed behind and asked some questions.

The dream realm was shattered with the disappearance of Edo, and it was impossible to get out of the original mirror, so the boy brought two high school students back to the human world from the shadow world. As for the "acclimatization" that humans would suffer from if they stayed in the shadow world for too long.

Humph, he doesn’t care, he won’t die anyway.

Tokyo, who was already unhappy, became even more impatient after being asked so many questions. Before Gojo Satoru could ask the next question, he interrupted him directly: "You are annoying. If you want to know something, go investigate it yourself and don't ask me."

Gojo Satoru was fine after seeing Tokyo's betrayal, but Geto Suguru became a little hesitant. He had limited communication with Tokyo and was not sure how to treat him for the time being.

But unexpectedly, Gojo Satoru threw another question at him: "Hey, there are no cannibals in Tokyo now. Aren't you happy, Tokyo?"

As expected, the boy who didn't want to be disturbed had a tense face, while his best friend was still jumping back and forth on the edge of danger. For a moment, Geto didn't know who to persuade. Or just ignore it, he couldn't beat Tokyo anyway, and Gojo Satoru seemed to be used to being beaten.

However, before Geto Suguru could apologize for his behavior of preferring his friend's death to his own, Gojo Satoru said, "If something bad happens in Tokyo again, remember to call me. I'm the strongest sorcerer and can solve any problem."

Xia Youjie was still thinking that even if something happened in Tokyo, Tokyo was not Edo now, and it could be solved by itself. Then he saw the boy walking in front of him slightly raised his mouth.

It was like an illusion, it disappeared in an instant, but the boy began to talk to Gojo Satoru: "There are no more cannibal ghosts, but there are more and more cursed spirits, and they can never be cleaned up."

Gojo Satoru raised his hand excitedly: "The strongest sorcerer is here to serve you wholeheartedly. Even if I'm not here, Jie is still here, right Jie?"

Geto Suguru was still hesitant at first. It was impossible to completely exorcise the cursed spirits in a city, and he and Gojo Satoru would always be sent out of town. It would be bad if Tokyo called them for something at that time and they could not respond.

But the boy turned around and stared at him with his lake-blue eyes, and he couldn't say no.

"It's okay. Even if we're not here, there will still be our younger classmates!" The cheerful boy with a bun gave a thumbs up and sold his future juniors to Tokyo at once.

Seeing Tokyo's smile that couldn't be stopped, but he bit his lower lip awkwardly, Xiayou Jie felt that he could understand why Gojo Satoru liked Tokyo. He heard that Tokyo's true form was a two-tailed nekomata. Maybe after getting to know him better, he could...

"Don't think about the impossible." Shinichi Hinawa interrupted Geto Suguru's connection.

Tokyo doesn't have the ability to read minds, but sometimes when he is handing over tasks to the King of the Red Team, the little girl named Anna next to him has this expression.

The boy puffed up his cheeks, walked to the end of the road, and opened the passage from the shadow world to the human world: "You two, get out quickly and don't stay here with me."

Suguru Geto felt embarrassed when his true thoughts were seen through. He touched his nose, said goodbye to Tokyo, and walked into the corridor.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" The boy walked up and kicked Gojo Satoru's calf.

Gojo Satoru grinned and insisted on touching Tokyo's ear before leaving. The boy had a stiff face and had to let him do as he wished.

After a long delay, the white-haired sorcerer finally stepped into the passage. Before leaving, he said, "Hey, Tokyo, is it really okay to use that power to weave dreams for Edo?"

With the help of the six eyes, Gojo Satoru could see that although the missing piece of the puzzle had returned, there was obviously a huge gap left, just like ice that had melted a little. He didn't know if it could be restored.

The boy obviously didn't want to reveal this, but Gojo Satoru kept looking at him. After a while, he said, "...It's just that little bit of power."

Gojo Satoru still refused to give up. What he could see became more and more blurry. He knew that this was because Tokyo was growing by absorbing the power of Edo. Soon he would not be able to see Tokyo clearly again. So if he was concealed now, he would have no chance to figure this out in the future.

"Well, I'll tell you. Even if we lose our strength and get hurt, we'll be fine. The city will always recover. Because we..."

Gojo Satoru didn't hear the last few syllables clearly. The force coming from outside pulled him out without any explanation.

There won't be any impact in the shadow world, but once you return to the human world, you will feel a serious sense of exhaustion. This is what Tokyo said, if humans stay in the shadow world for too long, big problems will arise.

"You're crazy for not coming out!" His pupils, which had lost focus, condensed again, and Gojo Satoru finally saw clearly that the person who pulled him out was Geto Suguru.

Gojo Satoru waved his hands. This was his second time leaving the Shadow World, so maybe his body had developed resistance, so he felt fine. But Geto Suguru was pale and sweating, looking like he had just been fished out of water.

"Is this at school?" Gojo Satoru looked around and found that it was indeed the classroom where they had classes.

Xiayou Jie and Gojo Satoru leaned back to back and let out a long sigh: "I don't know how much time has passed. Mr. Ye Mo must be very worried. Let's give him a call later."

The two changed back into their school uniforms. Perhaps because they had been wearing heavy kimonos for too long in the flower street, they felt a little chilly for a moment.

Strangely, a cool air came from above their heads, giving them goose bumps.

Before they could think about it, an angry voice sounded from above. The colleague in a white coat had a terrifyingly gloomy face and pinched the ears of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru on the left and right.

"You two! Where have you been for so long? Do you know that everyone in the school is looking for you?!"

The disappearance of the Gojo family's six eyes and the cursed spirit user at the same time was no joke. For a moment, everyone's vision was in chaos and the top leaders of the curse world all had a brainstorming session.

Jia Ru Nishiko didn't care about that, and no one expected the nanny to go find someone, so she had to stay in school. And now the male classmate who had disappeared for a week suddenly appeared, and he looked exhausted. It would be unreasonable not to send them to the infirmary.

As for what the higher-ups think, she has no way to contact them anyway, so just let them find out that the two students have returned on their own.

A weak nanny can drag a peer to the infirmary by herself when she is extremely angry.

"So, what's going on with you?" The gentle doctor held the pen tighter in his hand. That hint of a smile looked like a hidden dagger in the eyes of the two technical college students who were being dragged.

Ieiri Naoko smiled and threw Gojo Satoru onto the bed. The rough action made Kagome Jie swallow his saliva and hurriedly said, "Noko! I won't bother you anymore. I'll do it myself."

As he spoke, the boy with the ball-shaped hair walked tremblingly towards another bed.

"Ah, it seems that you are very energetic, and you even have the energy to walk." The doctor with a dark aura kindly suggested, "Glass, in order to reward your excellent classmate, the massage I taught you before can be arranged."

The high school student who was not clear about the power of massage tried to bargain: "Glass, there is no need to trouble you and Doctor Nichirin. You don't even need to use the reversal technique. Just let us lie down."

However, the resistance was futile. After the blue and white curtain was drawn, the screams of the two technical college students resounded through the sky.

Two hours later, the Gojo family, who had arrived carefully, learned that their head of the family had been airlifted back. At Gojo Satoru's strong request, they also took Geto Suguru with them.

The duo in the infirmary who had lost their target for treatment had no choice but to disband on the spot, leaving Shinichi Hinata alone in the infirmary.

But he didn't mind, on the contrary, he even enjoyed his time alone.

On the panel, Tokyo, which had absorbed Edo's energy, was emitting a layer of lustrous light. Just like the evolution of Pokémon, Tokyo would be fully evolved in a short time. So before the evolution was complete, Shinichi Hinawa planned to keep Tokyo's clone hidden for the time being.

After making the next plans, Shinichi Hinata stretched and sat at his desk, planning to complete the medical records of the two patients. After all, he was paid by Yemo Zhengdao, so he still had to do his job well.

In this way, Hinawa Shinichi spent another hour writing the medical records, and even considerately wrote down the follow-up treatment suggestions. However, judging from the expression of the sorcerer who came to the Gojo family to pick up the patient, they probably would not take this advice.

Really, a family that has been passed down for thousands of years still doesn't know how to integrate into modern society? Thousands of years ago, the sorcerers served the emperors and nobles, who were also ordinary people without spell power.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finished writing the medical record. The moment Shinichi Hirin stopped writing, he finally received the call.

If there is no note on the phone, a series of numbers will be displayed. In fact, even if there is a note, it is useless because the number of this call will change every time it comes. Shinichi Hinata received this call before he joined Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

"Hello, this is Hiiro, what can I do for you?"

After a few seconds of silence, an old, hoarse voice came from the other end of the line: "Hirin Shinichi, how are you doing with the task assigned to you?"

Hinawa Shinichi's voice was cheerful and clear: "It's almost done. We just need to collect more information for a while before we can leave Jujutsu High School."

The conversation lasted about five minutes, and after learning about Shinichi Hinawa's progress, the call was immediately hung up.

As we all know, any story about a young man's struggle will always have villains who do evil. The opponents of the sorcerers are the cursed spirits and the evil sorcerers hiding in the dark, the opponents of the detectives are the mysterious organization codenamed Wine, and the superpowers themselves are divided into hostile forces.

In a mixed world, the protagonists will unite, and the villains will also unite to form a larger force.
