Chapter 154 The Second Player

"Ah - really, it would be great if Yuuki was here at this time. That guy has copied Meimei-senpai's techniques and a lot of other techniques. He is the best person to deal with these guys."

It was mid-May 2006, the end of spring and the beginning of summer.

It was class time at Yeomji Girls' College Middle School, but two tall boys in black uniforms and a woman in a black short-sleeved dress with a white inner lining and a white apron appeared and were standing in a shady and deserted place, chatting idly.

Two of the three people are boys, and the young woman is already an adult, and doesn't look like a teacher. This combination is strange no matter how you look at it, and it should not appear in the school under normal circumstances.

The boy with short white hair and a pair of black sunglasses stretched out his waist and complained lazily. The black-haired boy next to him, who was wearing a similar uniform, nodded in agreement:

"And that guy is also the best at dealing with difficult women - if Yuuki was here, maybe we could persuade Riko to go back to high school directly."

"Ha, Jay, you're talking about Haruna, right?"

The white-haired boy squeezed his eyes in a funny way and stretched out his tone: "That guy is the most difficult and hardest young lady in the world to deal with - but you are right, Yuuki can even deal with that guy Haruna, if he is here, he will definitely be able to trick Riko back to high school."

"Don't say that, Satoru. Haruna will get mad if she hears you call her that."

The black-haired boy spoke casually - Hanayamain Haruna has been particularly unhappy with people calling her "Miss" lately, especially when this title comes from Gojo Satoru's mouth. According to her, "I get goosebumps when he calls me like that."

After that, he turned to the young woman next to him and explained, "Yuuki and Haruna are both classmates of mine and Satoru, but one of them is on a business trip and the other has other tasks. Otherwise, if they were here, we might even be able to sneak into Riko's classroom together..."

As he spoke, he unconsciously fell into his own thoughts.

After all, Hanayamain Haruna is a girl, and she can go to the classroom with Tenouchi Riko; but Igarashi Yuuki, that guy sometimes has an unexpected lack of moral integrity and shame in some areas. If he were around, there is no doubt that he would do something like dressing up as a woman and going to class with Tenouchi Riko.

And he and Gojo Satoru... No, he would never do that! Fortunately, Yuuki was not there.

The boy shook off the thought in his mind and suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Hearing the names "Yuuki" and "Haruna" from the two boys again, the woman named "Kuroi Misato" suddenly realized and smiled gratefully, "But even if only you two are here now, Miss's safety is guaranteed."

"Who made Yuxi unlucky that he was drawn for the business trip to Aomori City...ah, I don't know if that guy will be able to come back in time after we complete our escort mission this time." The white-haired boy said with a schadenfreude.

These two boys are Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.

This morning, the two received two special commissions: to protect the safety of Tengen-sama's "Star Plasma Body" Amauchi Riko, and to "erase" her in two days.

——Tengen, the sorcerer who possesses the "immortality" spell, is a very special existence in the world of spells. He has a high status and has existed for at least a thousand years. Because although he is "immortal", he is not "ageless". In order to prevent his accumulated aging from accumulating to a certain extent, causing his spell to change his body and evolve into a higher-dimensional existence than humans, and the possibility of endangering the world, he must choose a suitable human container, "star plasma body", every five hundred years, "assimilate" with it, reset the physical information, and initialize the spell at the same time, interrupting the evolution. [1]

This time, the chosen star plasma is a female high school student named "Amanai Riko".

Two days later, it was time for Tengen to assimilate the stellar plasma again. However, Tenuchi Riko's hiding place was accidentally discovered by the outside world, and she was exposed to danger. The two of them had this mission.

Originally, the three chosen for the escort mission were Gojo Satoru, Kagami Kei and Igarashi Yuuki. After all, they were the "strongest" in the world of spells and were often inseparable. But Igarashi Yuuki was sent to Aomori City for a mission, and by chance, he encountered an accident and was temporarily trapped in Aomori City, unable to return for a while... So this mission fell on Gojo Satoru and Kagami Kei.

The astral plasma body, known as "Amanouchi Riko", is actually just an ordinary-looking 14-year-old female high school student who seems a little willful and immature. Even when she was attacked by a curser, she still insisted on going to school... The astral plasma body is the biggest in the world, so Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru had no choice but to come along.

This is also the reason why Gojo Satoru and Kagome Kyo appear at Renzhi Girls' Academy.

Fortunately, although Amauchi Riko refused their close protection due to her gender, Geto Suguru still had the cursed spirit, which could play a role in remote monitoring...but his curse technique also had limitations, so he couldn't directly see Amauchi Riko's situation.

At this time, he missed Igarashi Yuki especially - when it comes to dealing with girls, Geto Suguru felt that even ten of him and Gojo Satoru might not be able to catch up with Igarashi Yuki.

God knows how that guy, who is only one or two years older than the two of them, developed this special ability to speak differently to different people, and to quickly start a conversation with men, women, young and old, from 80 to 8 years old. Even the most difficult people can have a calm conversation with him... That guy just has that special ability.

But... thinking of the requirements of this mission, Xia Yujie frowned unconsciously.

If Yuuki was there too... with his personality, it's hard to say whether he would accept this mission - after all, that person always thinks that even a sorcerer is an "ordinary person". If he knew that he was going to reset Lord Tengen's evolution by erasing a girl's life, he might just give up this mission?

Even he and Wu, although they now seemed to be carrying out their mission seriously, they had similar ideas on the way here.

Touching the phone in his pocket, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​calling Igarashi Yuuki and changed the subject.

"But even if Yuuki isn't here, it should be about the same with the two of us here..."

Feeling the movement coming from the cursed spirit he was controlling, Xia Yujie suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words and his expression froze.

"The cursed spirit on Riko's side has been exorcised. Satoru, let's go—"

The two cursed spirits he left beside Tenuchi Riko were both exorcised, which means he is a curser again?

The Onseki Cult is made up of ordinary people, so it's impossible for them to be one of them. However, the leaders of "Q" were defeated by Wu and all of them withdrew, so it's impossible for them to be one of them either... In other words, it's another curser? Is this a new force that has mixed in?

***

"A bounty of 250,000 US dollars is offered for the life of Amanouchi Riko, a sophomore at the Renjiu Girls' College Junior High School. It doesn't matter if she lives or dies. The time limit is 48 hours..."

Fushiguro Shijiro sat in front of the computer, touched his chin, posted the information on a special anonymous forum, and then stretched lazily.

“Hahaha—that should be about right now.”

Equivalent to 30 million yen, it was exactly the deposit that the Bandei Cult paid him in advance for entrusting him to kill Tenuchi Riko, no more, no less.

It wasn't entirely his own money, so he didn't feel bad about spending it. Fushiguro Shigeu didn't even think of saving a penny for himself.

——Anyway, with Gojo Satoru as a powerful weapon next to the Star Plasma Body, no one will be able to complete this commission. Even he is not sure that he can kill the Star Plasma Body by Gojo Satoru's side, let alone those trash who took on this task.

When the time limit is over, which is about 11 o'clock the day after tomorrow, if no one completes the task, the money will naturally return to him.

Fushiguro Shiji quickly reviewed his mission ideas again.

Unlike Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, who were tasked with protecting the astral plasma, Fushiguro Shige was tasked with assassinating the astral plasma by the Bandei Cult, a non-magic religious group that worships the pure Tengen-sama. Unlike the "Q" group of sorcerers, who want to stop the evolution of the sorcery world and hope that Tengen will get out of control so as to achieve the goal of subverting the sorcery world, the Bandei Cult hopes that Tengen will successfully evolve, and naturally will not allow astral plasma to be mixed into the evolution of Tengen as "impurities". [2]

However, their purpose is of no importance to Fushiguro Shigeki. What is important is that the Bandei Cult has money, and not ordinary money.

Fushiguro Shiori was never a good person - ever since he ran away from home and left the Zenin family, he has taken on countless missions to kill sorcerers in the black market, and even earned the nickname "Sorcerer Killer". What does the life and death of the sorcerer world have to do with him?

The Panxing Sect had money, but he was short of money, so the commission was naturally concluded in this way.

The people sent by the Jujutsu world to protect the star plasma body are two students from the Jujutsu High School, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru... Although they are still students, they have already reached the special level. Currently, there are only four special-grade sorcerers in the Jujutsu world, so it is not surprising that Fushiguro Shigeki was sent to take on this mission.

It is said that there was originally another Igarashi Yuuki...but because the other party is currently far away in Aomori City and cannot be contacted, only Gojo Satoru and Kagome Ken showed up.

It's quite interesting to say, Igarashi Yuuki is a semi-acquaintance of his, and has even brought his son to the high school more than once. He has also heard the names of those two kids from the high school from his unlucky son more than once, but he doesn't know if it's a coincidence or God's idea, he has never met Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.

However, since he accepted this mission and wanted to take the life of the Star Plasma Body, he would naturally have to meet these two.

After all, according to his plan, he would use this bounty to attract the attention of the two brats and consume Gojo Satoru's energy, and then when they thought the bounty was over, everything was settled, and foolproof, and when they were least vigilant... naturally, it would be time for him to come out and take the lives of Gojo Satoru and the Star Plasma Body.

This plan is not that complicated. It is nothing more than calculating people's hearts. In addition, he is in the dark and Gojo Satoru and the others are in the light. With a deliberate plan, Fushiguro is 80% sure that his plan can succeed. Alas, I wonder if the Gojo family's Rokugan will be any different from other sorcerers if he dies under his sword?

The only pity is that that woman, Hanayamain Haruna, is not here either.

Although her spell was a bit troublesome, it was not impossible for him to solve it. What a pity... He thought he could use this mission to get rid of these two annoying guys at once.

If there is any variable in this plan...I guess the only variable is Yuuki Igarashi.

Fushiguro Shigeru circled the name of "Igarashi Yuuki".

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, both of them have typical sorcerer's mindset. Moreover, they have been at the top of sorcerers and treated as geniuses for a long time, so naturally they have acquired a lot of the arrogance that belongs to sorcerers. Fushiguro is 99% sure that he has both of them stepping into his trap without realizing it.

But that kid Yuuki Igarashi...that guy is different from Gojo Satoru. His abilities may not be as good as his, but his brain is definitely much better than his, and his intuition is as sharp as Fushiguro's.

If he were there, he might notice something wrong, and it would be hard to say whether his plan would be able to achieve the desired effect.

But who put Igarashi Yuuki in Aomori now? As long as he was not in Tokyo and not directly involved, he had nothing to worry about.

...Oh my, does this mean he has been blessed by God?

As if he was amused by his own thoughts, Fushiguro couldn't help but sneer.
