Chapter 105 Chapter 105 The Case of Supernatural Kidnapping (Part 2)…
When Gojo Satoru and Fushimi Saruhiko returned to the backstage of the venue, it was in chaos.
Seeing this, Gojo Satoru whistled: "Not bad~ Quite spectacular~"
Fushimi pinched his brows, feeling like he was being mocked. Little did he know that Gojo Satoru was really speaking the truth. After all, the Jujutsu Association had few people and many tasks to do, and was very lame. It was rare for so many people to be dispatched for a simple single mission. So, wasn't the scene of Scepter 4 with so many people on duty "spectacular" to him?
Fushimi shouted, halting the officers' mindless rushing. "Alright, except for those monitoring and reporting energy fluctuations, everyone else, go outside to maintain order and prevent outsiders from coming in and noticing anything amiss. Also, we can't let our guard down with the sponsors. While the possibility of the enemy splitting up and launching a surprise attack is low, we can't afford to let down our guard. We can't afford another mistake."
This arrest was part of a further collaboration between Scepter4 and the Special Ability Division. If anything went wrong, Fushimi, the key person in charge, would naturally be on the hook. From the moment he received the communication until the entire journey back, Fushimi had been brainstorming non-stop, constantly considering how to respond.
He always felt that something was wrong. The action pattern of Lin Chengren's gang this time was very different from their previous behavior patterns provided by Yiteke. A mature criminal team would not change itself rashly unless some unknown variables suddenly joined the incident without their knowledge. Precisely because of the unknown, its impact was immeasurable.
Fushimi only hoped that the truth of the matter was not as complicated as he thought. The best outcome would be that before his investigation was finished, Saionji would have returned with Lin Chengren and his accomplices.
Gojo Satoru looked around casually, somewhat bored. He didn't even need to observe carefully. The traces of energy that had once flowed in the air formed clear pictures in his mind through his six eyes.
Over the past few days, he has seen some people with special abilities. Some of their abilities are indeed interesting, even unexpected, but in terms of strength, basically no one can reach the standard that makes him take a look. However, he did hear an interesting rumor from the black market. A Mafia organization based in Yokohama has a cadre who is said to be at the top of the special ability level. It is precisely because of this person's existence that the organization can dominate Kanto and even act arrogantly within the island country.
Gojo Satoru sincerely hoped that the Mafia cadre's strength was not exaggerated, and he became somewhat interested in meeting him to see whether the so-called ceiling of the world of superpowers was worthy of its name.
With Fushimi's order, the on-site personnel finally regained some of Scepter4's usual composure and carried out the reporting and maintenance work in an orderly manner.
"...Based on the cleaning carts scattered in the hallway, we suspect this is the primary scene. Unfortunately, there are no surveillance cameras in the hallway. We've already sent someone to retrieve the surveillance footage closest to the Japanese team's backstage lounge, hoping to find some useful clues."
Fushimi listened to his subordinate's report with a serious face. It was pretty much what he guessed, without any further information. He turned to the sorcerer with whom he had just teleported several times in a short period of time, and their relationship had become closer.
Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow and complained, half-seriously, "Why do I feel like you're using me as an energy explorer?"
Fushimi Saruhiko smirked and said, "How could that be? Mr. Gojo, you are overthinking it."
Since his last conversation with Saionji, Fushimi has been following up on the improvement of the Scepter4 energy exploration equipment. It is now very effective. It can lock on and detect people with special powers such as psychics, cursed spirits, monsters, etc. who are not outsiders. However, in terms of sensitivity, accuracy and efficiency, it cannot fully achieve the ideal effect. At least as the situation at the scene is now, they are still far from the level where Gojo Satoru can draw a conclusive conclusion at a glance.
Gojo Satoru grumbled briefly, but nodded in confirmation of the report's conclusions. "Their deduction is correct. The residual energy from the supernatural power is right here, and it's exactly the same as what we were tracking." He then pointed to a spot near the cart and added, "As you suspected, she must have been there. Here, there's a specially left mark of her magical power."
Fushimi's eyes lit up, he pushed his glasses up, and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Gojo."
The trouble, of course, is that they continue to teleport and track.
Fushimi turned to his subordinates who remained at the scene and gave them some instructions on the next steps.
Gojo Satoru nodded casually, without refusing, and put his hand on Fushimi Saruhiko's shoulder.
He was the kind of person who seemed nonchalant and unreliable at ordinary times, but could be a pillar of support at critical moments. Moreover, regarding this incident of helping, he had some guesses in his mind. On the one hand, the reason why the school girl specifically asked him to take advantage of his ability of six eyes was that on the other hand, it might have brought him closer to official organizations such as Scepter4, contributing to the changes in the magic world that he was secretly planning, and increasing some bargaining chips against the top leaders.
After Fushimi finished his instructions, Gojo Satoru activated [Blue] and the two of them disappeared from their original position in an instant.
The Scepter4 field staff at the scene were not surprised and continued to act in an orderly manner according to Fushimi's previous instructions.

Tracking down a space-type psychic is not difficult at all for Gojo Satoru.
It means repeating the work that he has done once before.
After more than a dozen jumps, Gojo Satoru finally stopped his silent contemplation and looked at the desolate, abandoned warehouse in front of him. He said, "This is probably the last space jump."
Fushimi breathed a sigh of relief, shaking his dizzy head. Even a powerful royal clan like his couldn't withstand so many teleportations in a single breath. He surveyed the empty surroundings, clearly seeing neither the target gang nor the kidnapped individuals.
Fushimi immediately made a judgment and frowned, saying, "I'm afraid they've guessed that we can track the fluctuations of our spatial travel ability and have already moved ahead of time."
He took out the communicator and was about to call someone to analyze the scene, but found that there was no signal.
"Oh no! There's a signal blocking device here," Fushimi frowned even deeper. "They're deliberately stalling us so they can take advantage of the opportunity to move."
This was even less like the style of Lin Chengren's gang. Although he could see the other party's cunning from the intelligence provided by the Special Ability Department before, it was so meticulous that every move he made was within the other party's expectations. Fushimi almost suspected that either the other party's gang had people with precognition or other sensory abilities, or that there was a traitor on his side.
Now, he could either find the shielding device hidden in the warehouse first, or leave the shielding range first and then contact his subordinates for support.
Before Fushimi could come up with the best plan, Gojo Satoru was already standing at the warehouse door. He turned around and said to him, "There are traces of truck tracks at the door. I also sensed the cursed power mark left by Yuyin-chan."
Just now, there were other people present, and Gojo Satoru was particularly careful not to mention Yuyin's name. Now that only Fushimi, who knew the inside story, was present, he said it out loud.
Upon hearing this, Fushimi rushed out of the warehouse to check the ground. It was just as Gojo Satoru had said. He beamed with joy and said, "Great!"
"Don't be too happy. The energy marks left by Yuyin-chan aren't continuous. I'm afraid they didn't want to alert the enemy." Gojo Satoru stroked his chin in thought, then shrugged. "You should get a car first. Even though we have this as a signpost, you don't want us to chase it on foot, do you?"
Due to the lack of exact spatial coordinates, Gojo Satoru was unable to use [Ao] to move in this situation before finding the next ability mark left by Yuyin, so in the end the two of them could only use modern transportation to track.
Fushimi immediately said, "Let's follow the wheel tracks and road traces for a distance. Once we're out of the signal shielding range, I'll have someone dispatch a vehicle."
It has been nearly thirty minutes since the kidnapping occurred.
In traditional kidnapping cases, the longer the time has passed since the incident, the slimmer the chance of recovering the hostages. However, the hostage survival rate of Lin Chengren's gang is 70%.
This sounds like a very high survival rate, but Fushimi did not look relaxed at all, because these 70% of the surviving hostages were all in cases before the Special Powers Department intervened. They were hostages who were finally released after the wealthy hostage families paid the huge ransom in full. The other 30% were after the Special Powers Department took arrest action. They even almost found the scene of Lin Chengren's gang several times, but in the end the arrest team members and the hostages all disappeared, and their whereabouts were never found again.
Regarding this special situation, Fushimi had made a guess when analyzing the case with the head of the department. Even if the people in the Special Ability Agent Department's action team were not very capable, the almost 100% disappearance rate (equivalent to death) completely revealed another possibility. There must be a person with dangerous special abilities in Lin Chengren's gang, and once the ability of this person is activated, all the people present will be wiped out.
Fortunately, the wealthy families of the kidnapped people did not know all the information. If they knew that once their official agencies intervened, the hostages' survival rate would be close to 0, they would probably stop them from investigating the case and pursuing the suspects.
However, they, Scepter4, cannot leave the enemy alone just because they are too dangerous. Currently, Lin Chengren's gang is only involved in kidnapping and murder. If they continue to be unchecked, the crime is likely to escalate, and it is difficult to say what harm it will cause.
Fushimi Saruhiko followed the faint tire tracks and, following Gojo Satoru's instructions, the two of them moved along the suburban path.
He was also somewhat relieved at this time. Fortunately, the target chosen by Lin Chengren's gang this time was Atobe Keigo. And because of Defei Shiyuan, the director sent Saionji to be Atobe Keigo's personal bodyguard to prevent him from being too passive in this action.
Fushimi had previously discussed with Saionji about the fact that there was a person with special abilities hidden in Lin Chengren's gang. It seemed that Saionji did not directly fight with the other party in the warehouse, firstly for the safety of the hostage Atobe Keigo, and secondly to find out the truth of the matter.

What was Saionji Gyoon doing while Fushimi Saruhiko and Gojo Satoru were tracking her?
She is seasick.
Really, for the first time in her life, Yuyin discovered that she actually had seasickness.
After she perfectly portrayed herself as the young master's weak, civilian girlfriend, the kidnappers' vigilance towards her dropped a lot. At least after she was transferred from the warehouse to the back of a truck, bumped along a small road in the suburbs, and finally arrived at a small private dock, and then transferred to this small yacht, the criminals did not detain her with the other party.
Of course, this may also be because Lin Chengren's gang is too small, and three people are not enough to carry out the guard mission and then divide the troops to guard the two of them who are detained separately.
When she first boarded the yacht, Yuyin was relieved that her disguise had not been discovered, and secretly ticked the guess of "Team size: three people". Now all that was left was to confirm the specific identity of the special ability user that Fushimi had told her before.
But now she didn't want to think about anything. Her face was so pale that she didn't need any acting skills at all. She looked like a terrified girl who had been kidnapped.
There was something wrong with Tamane's expression, and Atobe Keigo naturally noticed it at the first moment. After all, realness was different from acting, and what's more, he knew Tamane much better than the kidnappers.
Because his hands were tied and he couldn't support himself, Atobe could only use his body as a support for Yuyin to lean on. He looked at her caringly: "Are you feeling better now?"
Yuyin's face was pale. She nodded with a smile, thought for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Last time you said you were going to take a cruise to an island for vacation. It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise I would have fainted on the cruise ship."
Atobe smiled and coaxed her along: "If you don't like taking the boat, we can take a private plane. There is a private airport on the island, so we can get there without taking the boat, and it's even faster."
At this moment, the two were locked in a cabin on the lower level of the cruise ship. This lower level cabin had no windows and only a door leading to the outside world. When the door was closed, it was pitch black inside, so there was no need to worry about them escaping. In addition, the environment was harsh, so Lin Chengren and his accomplices were unwilling to come in and guard them.
Since there was no guarantee that there were no eavesdropping devices nearby, Yuyin was very careful not to talk about other topics even though there was no one guarding the cabin. She just joked a few times when Atobe showed concern for her, so as not to let the robbers find any flaws.
