Chapter 44

Currently, the three members of the senior college are resting in the antique shop opposite the Gojo mansion.

The summer day in July almost melted the three people into a pool of liquid. According to the original plan, the three people should have been in the Gojo family compound, enjoying the air conditioning and eating watermelon, discussing how to find the Kyoto consciousness.

As a result, after completing the task for a day, the three of them were unable to even enter the Gojo family mansion.

Fortunately, there is an antique shop opposite the Gojo Mansion. In addition to trading various antique items, it also sells a variety of teas and snacks.

"Tonghua, I want the Tang fruit that I often eat, and a pot of tea." Gojo Satoru was familiar with the place and brought two of his peers here to escape the summer heat.

The waitress in a lavender dress quickly brought snacks and tea to Gojo Satoru.

After looking at the teacup in surprise for a while, Ieiri Naoko asked, "Karakoshi? Isn't that Japanese sweets?"

"Many things in Japan originated from flower growers, and so do Japanese confectionery." Gojo Satoru explained seriously, "After development, Japanese confectionery is more in line with the tastes of Japanese people, but Kara confectionery still has a flavor different from Japanese confectionery."

"Oh, I thought you had almost forgotten history and everything." Ieiri Shoko joked.

After asking the clerk for some tea, Gojo Satoru made some tea and poured it for the people. He then explained, "The store manager here told me this."

Gojo Satoru began to introduce his relationship with this store to his friends. Although the land where the Gojo family is located is expensive, it is generally a residential area and all the surrounding properties have been bought by the Gojo family, so there is not even a neighbor.

However, there was a piece of land left that slipped through the net, and no matter how high the price was, the original owner refused to transfer it, until a few months ago, when a house was suddenly built here and this antique shop appeared.

Logically speaking, Gojo Satoru would not have any interest in a shop that would only be visited by old scholars. He was certainly not attracted by antiques. This shop, which did not even have a sign, did not know what it sold.

Until one day, Gojo Satoru was attracted by the unique smell of dim sum and walked into this place. He was invited by the young and handsome store manager to eat the dim sum here and praised it highly. He also met Tong Hua, a female clerk who could make various Chinese dim sum. After that, Gojo Satoru would occasionally come here to sit.

He also found that this was a strange shop. Although it was engaged in antique business, it was more about helping people repair antiques in their homes. If someone came with something to sell, the manager would accept it, but the owner did not intend to sell any of the antiques in the shop.

While introducing this unique shop, the store manager appeared and asked, "Gojo, are you bringing friends this time?"

Ieichiro Naoko just looked up and the small teacup in her hand fell down in surprise.

As the owner of an antique shop, he looked a little too young, like a young man who had just graduated from college, and did not look like an old scholar who was passionate about antiques.

Most importantly, he is really handsome!

Ieiri Shoko thought she was used to seeing handsome guys. After all, the two guys next to her were good-looking if you didn't know their inner qualities. But after seeing the store manager, Ieiri Shoko realized that it wasn't because of the two of her peers that she lost her desire for male beauty, but because she had never encountered true beauty.

"Stop!" Gojo Satoru quickly covered Ieiri Naoko's eyes, "The store manager is not interested in a little girl like you, don't dream on."

Because they are neighbors next door, Gojo Satoru likes to come here for dim sum, so he has a certain understanding of this extremely handsome store manager, which is that the store manager's style is quite hard to describe.

Every time he walked in, the woman sitting opposite the store manager and looking at him with an obsessed look on her face was not the same person. Although the store manager also explained that they were all his antique trading customers, Gojo Satoru obviously did not believe it, not to mention watching his female classmate fall into the quagmire.

Jialiu Nishiko brushed the boy's hand away and said that it was too early to fall in love with him. She just admired his beauty. However, this did not stop her from saying: "Who knows, maybe the store manager fell in love with me at first sight."

The handsome antique shop manager smiled and did not give an answer: "Every lady should be treated like a flower."

His gentle and refined attitude once again impressed Ieiri Naoko, and Gojo Satoru quickly interrupted: "Manager, do you know what happened to my house? No one is home."

The store manager looked surprised and said, "Don't you know? Something seems to have happened at the Gojo family today. I saw many people leaving together."

Hearing this, Xia Youjie suddenly thought of something: "Wu, have you told your family that you want to bring your classmates back?"

Gojo Satoru was stunned: "Do I need to tell them this?"

Xia Youjie covered his face: "I know why no one knows you are back."

"Ah, he won't wait for them to come back, right?" It was the first time that Gojo Satoru had to take the initiative to contact his family. If he had known earlier, he would have saved their numbers.

At this time, the store manager suddenly spoke up: "If you just want to contact the people of the Gojo family, I think I have a way. Miss Aoko left me her phone number before."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two boys except Ieiri Shoko looked at him with meaningful eyes.

Although the store manager has always denied having any relationship with the ladies, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru are both good-looking people, and sometimes they use their looks to get close to people and obtain the information they want.

But it doesn't matter if it's someone else, but I still have to protect the girls in my class. After asking the boss for his contact information, I dialed the number and within ten minutes, I heard the sound of a car coming from the other side.

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru looked at each other, and then one of them carried Ieki Nozomi, who was admiring the beauty, away.

"Thank you for the treat. The snacks are delicious. Next time I come, I will bring you something you may be interested in." Gojo Satoru waved goodbye.

The store manager nodded and said, "Then I look forward to your next visit."

The shop was just opposite the Gojo family mansion. As soon as Gojo Satoru walked out of the door, he saw Gojo Aoko getting out of the car. He was about to complain when he saw the usually gentle assistant supervisor Gojo Aoko's expression collapse and asked impatiently: "Master Satoru, did you play with the clan's sacrificial utensils?"

"Huh? Am I the kind of person who would do such a thing?" Gojo Satoru found it unbelievable. Although he had played with that thing as a toy when he was a child, he would not be interested in antiques at this age.

However, the looks from Miss Aoko and her two other classmates told him that they firmly believed that Gojo Satoru was the person who could do such a thing.

But Gojo Satoru denied it again and again: "I have been in Tokyo recently and haven't come back yet. How could I possibly take the ritual utensils from home!"

Seeing that Gojo Satoru was determined that he had not taken it, Gojo Aoko sighed and said, "Master Satoru, come with your friends. Something has happened to the Gosan Family."

Gojo Aoko's car took the three people from the high school to the headquarters of the Jujutsu Association, and she explained the matter to them on the way.

At first, the Zenin family lost a few cursed weapons, but some clan members took away some of them without registering them. Then it was the Kamo family, but because the weapons lost were not high-level cursed weapons, no one took it seriously, until yesterday, when the Gojo family's sacrificial weapons were lost.

Both are cursed weapons, but the one lost by the Gojo family was passed down thousands of years ago and was used for sacrificial purposes.

Once this matter was brought to the attention of the other two families, they also realized that it was unusual. They pulled all the clan members in the main house aside for questioning, and when they got no results, they simply started to engage in conspiracy theories.

Kyoto's consciousness has not appeared yet, so some people have suggested that this must be evidence that Kyoto is monitoring the three major families and intends to take action against the Jujutsu Users Association.

At this moment, all three major families were in an uproar. Those who felt that their homes were unsafe moved to the Jujutsu Masters Association. After all, the place was covered by the Tengen barrier, so they didn't have to worry about their secrets being discovered.

At the same time, we are also working hard to identify Kyoto's urban consciousness.

"What a joke! If the city consciousness wants to know that secret, it will let you know." Xia Youjie frowned. Recently, he felt that the thoughts and behaviors of the high-level sorcerers were hopelessly corrupt.

Gojo Satoru was not very satisfied either. After all, his family actually believed these things: "Are they crazy?"

In fact, Gojo Aoko had thought so before, probably because she thought that elephants would not deliberately target ants. It has been so long since the emergence of city consciousness, and it is only now that they are monitoring you. It feels like the three great families are being too sentimental. But as an auxiliary supervisor, she also participated in the investigation and did find something unusual.

She handed paper documents to several people while driving. "But recently, a strange cursed force carrier was found in Kyoto. The cursed force aura on him is very similar to the cursed force aura of the lost cursed weapons of the three families. If he hadn't stolen the cursed weapons of the three families, the cursed weapons wouldn't have grown legs out of thin air."

"We sent sorcerers to investigate, but he managed to evade our pursuit every time. Moreover, the few sorcerers who were able to bring back information gave completely different descriptions of the man's appearance. So there is a reason why the top brass suspected that he was the Kyoto consciousness."

"We can't get unified intelligence every time. Are the sorcerers you send out so rubbish?" Gojo Satoru complained, picking up a document and reading it. It was exactly a description of the mysterious man by a sorcerer, "Golden tassel hair ornaments, classical hunting clothes and armor, gorgeous appearance... What? Isn't this recorded in great detail?"

Gojo Satoru read it out and wanted to look down, but Ieiri Shoko, who was sitting on his right, pulled his sleeve.

"Glass, what's wrong? Are you still obsessed with the store manager? Forget it, I won't..."

After finishing speaking, Ieiri Naoko slapped Gojo Satoru's chattering mouth and said, "Shut up, Gojo!"

She pointed to a voice outside the car window and said, "Do you think that's the person you described?"
