Chapter 49
With the help of Fusangshen, the process of beating the old oranges to the point where they can listen to people normally becomes extremely simple. At the same time as this process, the spies hiding inside are picked out.
In order to convince these old oranges, they had to call Ishida to ask him to be a witness. The marks on these spies were the best physical evidence. Although some old oranges jumped out to question Gojo Satoru's fairness based on his behavior, the Gojo family was not short of special eyes, so it was still possible to find one or two people who could see the marks.
Now that the criminals have been caught red-handed, the old oranges cannot deny it.
"What exactly do you want?" one of the old orange guys said with a grimace because of the wound on his face.
Geto Suguru still smiled with narrowed eyes: "There is a spy infiltrating the Jujutsu Association. In order to prevent those people from fleeing, we have to take coercive measures. Don't the adults always sentence people to death in order to eliminate potential dangers?" Ever since Tokyo took action against Old Orange last time and the two high-tech experts "didn't help him", the top leaders have been implicitly rejecting them. So what they want to say will always be regarded by the top leaders as favoring the city consciousness.
Old Orange dared to be angry but not to say anything. In order not to alert the enemy, they simply bombed the entire grassland, which was indeed what they often did. However, they were relieved when they learned that Geto Suguru and his men had no real intention of rebellion.
Sorcerers value talent the most. Previously, they were treated as high school students and not taken seriously. However, judging from the results of today's battle, the two of them are much better than other sorcerers. Even the special-grade sorcerer Jiuju Yuki is not as strong as them.
Before Old Orange could say anything else, Xia Youjie continued, "Of course, this matter is entirely dependent on Mr. Mikazuki. It is appropriate for the Jujutsu Association to pay some compensation."
Mikazuki Munechika, who was not far away, had a very humorous smile. Old Orange could only grit his teeth and said, "It is appropriate to give him a reward." Anyway, ordinary sorcerers are paid for their missions, and the Sorcerers Association does not lack that little money at all.
Let's not tease him. Just after taking care of Mikazuki Munechika's matter, Geto Suguru took care of Ieiri Shoko's medical expenses, and finally even talked about the mental compensation for Ishida's agent.
Fees were accumulated one after another, and finally Geto Suguru got the key to the inner vault as he wished.
"Mr. Mikazuki, I don't know who else in the inner storehouse can be transformed into a Tsukumogami, but as long as they have potential, you can take them away."
Mikazuki Munechika raised his eyebrows. A cursed weapon is more than just a handy weapon for a sorcerer. Sometimes it can even make up for the sorcerer's lack of talent. It is a very important thing. Even so, these high school students are willing to fulfill their previous promise.
But he refused: "Tsukumogami is not so easy to produce. If there is a new partner, we will know. Compared with this, I want the vase in this room more."
The vase was placed as a decoration in the room, but at first, Geto Suguru didn't see anything special about it.
However, his puzzled look did not attract the answer from Fusangshen, who instead pretended to be mysterious and said, "If you need a key to pass the game, this vase may be the key."
Xia Youjie was confused by what he said, and before he could think carefully, he was interrupted by a new piece of news.
"I will not participate in the operation against the cursed spirit later."
"The spiritual power is limited, and each Fusangshen can only act for a short time. My partner will come back and join you later."
Geto Suguru didn't want to be separated from this newly formed tsukumogami partner, but according to Mikazuki, this was unavoidable, so he asked, "Where should we go to find your partner?"
"No need to look for him. After I disappear, he will naturally appear. His real body is placed in that master's collection room. The body he is using now is transformed by spiritual power. We are just changing our spiritual consciousness."
As if to verify it, after saying this, Mikazuki Munechika's body glowed with white light. Suguru Geto was suppressed by the strong light and couldn't open his eyes. After the white light disappeared, a new Tsukumogami appeared in front of him.
It was a young-looking Tsukumogami, wearing lavender clothes, with his eyes lowered. His waist-length hair showed a strange gradient color, from jet black to snow-white, just like the transition of human age. Black and white Buddhist beads were wrapped around his body, and his whole body exuded a sense of quiet alienation.
Without waiting for Geto to ask, he took the initiative to speak: "I am one of the five swords in the world, named Suzumaru Tsuneji."
Xia Youjie: “…”
Gojo Satoru: “…”
The two looked at each other and blinked at each other. They didn't expect that this person would come.
Both Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru were aware that Mikazuki Munechika was one of the Five Swordsmen of the World. Considering that the history of swords was related to personality, they made a point to learn more about the Five Swordsmen of the World.
Because of this, it is very clear that Sujumaru Tsune was once owned by Nichiren Shonin. Although it is a sword, there are Buddhist beads wrapped around the hilt, so it should be a Buddhist sword. Moreover, seeing that he is still wearing Buddhist beads after he transformed, it is obvious that he recognizes his identity.
Didn't Mikazuki Munechika explain the situation to his friends?! Is it really okay for them to bring a Buddhist sword to the nightclub?! The two looked at the Tsukumogami with a subtle look.
Shinichi Hinawa came to take a look through Jujumaru Tsuneji's body: "???"
One of Kyoto's abilities is to give objects intelligence and transform them into new shapes. One of the reasons why she likes to collect antiques is that things that are very old are easier to enlighten. If she meets the right person, Kyoto will be happy to help transform them. For example, Tonghua, the only waitress in the antique shop, was transformed from a paulownia tree.
Provide spiritual power for objects and help them transform. Their power comes from Kyoto, which means that Kyoto can always control their bodies. Kyoto is not good at fighting compared to other city consciousnesses, so it needs suitable assistants to assist.
Originally, Kyoto's idea was to let the sword tsukumogami hone himself and become a sharper blade, but Hinawa Shinichi had his own ideas, so he borrowed Kyoto's ability and temporarily used the body of Juzumaru Tsuneji to come and take a look.
However, Shinichi Hinawa does not intend to let the sorcerers know that Kyoto has the ability to control his subordinates' Tsukumogami, so he will try his best to get along with the sorcerers in the mode of Suzumaru Tsuneji.
So where is this going to take?
It turns out that Japanese monks do go to nightclubs.
Along the way, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru tactfully asked the new Tsukumogami for his opinion, and only after they were sure that the other party really didn't care did they feel at ease to take the person over.
"This can also be considered a kind of practice." The long-haired Tsukumogami lowered his head and waved his Buddhist beads. If you ignore the noisy and overly lively environment around him, it can be regarded as a beautiful landscape painting.
However, the corners of Xiayou Jie's mouth twitched, making Fudao look a little out of place among a group of jubilant girls. He expressed deep regret for this: "I'm sorry, Mr. Suzumaru, that I need you to make such a big sacrifice."
The gentle Fusangshen didn't care: "It can't be helped."
Their plan was to have someone play the role of the person invited by Nagasawa Mishibo. Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru were eliminated from the list of candidates from the beginning because they were too famous in the world of sorcery. The original agreement with Mikazuki Munechika was to let Tsukumogami play this role.
That cursed spirit can change human nature, but for cursed weapons, the only way to change their properties is to input cursed power over and over again. This at least means that compared to humans who will be doomed if touched, it might be a safer choice for the Fusangshen to deal with that cursed spirit.
It certainly wasn't possible to let Suzumaru Tsuneji dress like this to meet the cursed spirit, so Gojo Satoru took the Tsukumogami to pack up. When he came back, he had changed into a high-end suit and his long hair was tied up high, but his otherworldly temperament could not be concealed.
"Mr. Suzumaru, we hid your knife in the gap between the sofas. Wu and I will set up the barrier after that guy comes in. You'd better delay a little and wait for us to arrive."
Compared to Mikazuki Munechika's White-Kiri Black, this new Tsukishokami was obviously delicate and gentle from the inside out. Just by seeing him nod, he actually felt a sense of trust. After handing the scene over to Suzumaru Tsuneji, Kagome Geto went out to set up the barrier with Gojo Satoru without worry.
Looking at the world from the perspective of Suzumaru Tsuneji is somewhat magical. Although Shinichi Hirin already has several city-states, those are essentially still himself. He can fully understand and recognize the ideas and practices of different city consciousness.
But in the body of Suzumaru Tsuneji, the thoughts belonging to Hinata Shinichi have to take a back seat. Unless Kyoto's ability is used to forcibly control it, even the gentle Buddhist sword has a bottom line that cannot be crossed.
However, Hinawa Shinichi just came to take a look, so there was no need to resist Suzumaru Tsuneji's intentions.
The plan was laid out successfully, and before long the planned fish was caught.
In front of the real person, the usually cheerful idol now has dull eyes and a trembling body. The cursed spirit born from human fear knows best how to play with people's hearts. Humans are just toys in his hands. When they are broken, he can just replace them with a new and better one.
"I heard your last name is Gojo too?" Human greed is endless. Perhaps the wishes of ordinary humans are diverse and difficult to satisfy, but the wishes of sorcerers are surprisingly unified. They want more powerful spells, and the real person has perfectly grasped this weakness. "It took a lot of effort to convince the last Gojo. He said he would stick to his ideals... Haha, in the end he firmly agreed to work for me."
The Tsukumogami just nodded slightly and didn't react much.
But the real person became interested. He sat on the sofa opposite and held his face with his hands. "The Rokugan of the Gojo family is said to be the most powerful sorcerer. Louhu always told me not to try to test the Rokugan. It's better to wait until the Rokugan dies before taking action. Anyway, the human life span is only a hundred years. So we moved from Tokyo to Kyoto. Alas, it will be very uncomfortable for the cursed spirit to leave the place where it was born, but we did it even so."
Seeing that the cursed spirit's desire to speak was growing stronger, Hinawa Shinichi didn't want to interrupt him, but just played the role of a listener in silence.
The real person didn't need his answer. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to say all these things today: "Originally, it would be possible to lie dormant until the Six-Eyes died before taking action, but unfortunately, all of us except me have been exorcised by that city consciousness..."
He clenched his teeth and uttered words of hatred: "Kyoto has drained my cursed power bit by bit..."
"It's a city so oppressive that cursed spirits could be born at any time, a city that even the Six Eyes don't want to save... So, I decided to let that city consciousness taste the pain of being hated by the humans they love the most, and die miserably under the siege of humans..."
The cold voice interrupted the real person's monologue. At some point, the appearance of the person in front of him changed completely. It was the extremely gorgeous face that was the most hated and feared face in the real person's memory.
"If this is your last words, you'd better keep quiet."
