Chapter 83 Chapter 83...
Saionji Tamao never expected that when she was called by the director to work at Scepter 4, a big bomb would happen in the world of sorcery.
However, it is better to discover the problem early. Regardless of whether the person who appears at the Shinjuku intersection is the resurrected Takeru himself or an imposter, both Gojo-senpai and Scepter 4 can act more easily with mental preparation.
Yuyin asked tentatively, "Can you find the other person?"
"I can't," Gojo Satoru said, a hint of regret etched in his voice. "Whoever took Jie's body used some method to block my perception."
Yuyin fell into deep thought. Even the strongest Gojo Satoru couldn't track the other party. It seemed that he could only continue to use technological means.
"Senior, if you want to recover Senior Geto's body as soon as possible, I suggest you cooperate with Scepter 4."
"Scepter 4?" Gojo Satoru asked. "Oh, that's the Sovereign Organization you mentioned last time, right?"
"Yes," Yuyin explained with a nod. "Scepter 4 is an official organization after all, so they have an inherent advantage when it comes to finding people. Even if the person acting as Senior Geto Suguru could use all sorts of methods to erase their tracks, there's no way they wouldn't leave behind even the slightest clue. Scepter 4 can track down these clues and find them..."
"Okay, then you can say hello to them and arrange a time and place."
Among those related to Gyokon, Gojo Satoru is more familiar with Shizueji Deba, and has only met Reisi Munakata of Scepter 4 once. If Gyokon hadn't taken the initiative to bring it up, given his arrogance, he would not have gone all out to ask Scepter 4 for help.
"Probably not today. I still have a mission to complete. I came to Paojie on purpose to avoid the eyes and ears of the higher-ups. I can't stay too long to let them notice."
"Okay, then I'll talk to the director," Yuyin suddenly remembered something after hearing Gojo Satoru's words and reminded him, "By the way, Senior, since you were the one who executed Senior Takeru, you have to be careful of the actions of the higher-ups. If they saw Takeru Takeru's activities, they might think..."
Gojo Satoru scoffed, "You thought I was in cahoots with him, didn't you?"
Yuyin nodded: "Yes, think about the character of those senior officials..." If they judge others by themselves, they will definitely conclude that Gojo Satoru was partial and violated the law and let Geto Suguru go privately. It just so happens that they have disliked Gojo Satoru for a long time. When the time comes, they can use this as evidence to convict Gojo Satoru and at the same time strike a blow against the reformist forces.
"That would require them to be able to convict me," Gojo Satoru said disdainfully, "but thank you for the reminder. I'll make preparations early. See you later~"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Yuon put down the phone again, Reiji Munakata asked.
Tamane replied, "Gojo-senpai has confirmed that Geto Suguru's body is not where it should be."
Munakata Reiji pondered, "So, the 'Suguru Geto' that appeared is most likely his own body?"
Yuyin nodded and said, "Yes, but whether it's resurrection or manipulation of the corpse, I or Senior Gojo need to verify it with our own eyes. By the way, regarding the matter of 'Suguru Geto', you can contact Senior Gojo to investigate. He is also very interested in this matter."
Munakata pushed his glasses up and said with a smile, "If Mr. Gojo is willing to cooperate, that would be great."
No matter how good Reiji Munakata's demeanor is, he really can't stand the Jujutsu Association's evasion and inefficiency.
"He probably can't make it today. You should make an appointment with him first," Yuyin muttered. "Special-grade sorcerers' schedules are almost always full." Recalling something, she asked the director, "Have you told the sorcerers about Geto Suguru's appearance in the Shinjuku restaurant fire?"
Munakata Reiji looked at Awashima Seri, who shook her head and said, "Not yet. This surveillance footage isn't from the restaurant where the incident occurred. The equipment there was completely destroyed by the fire. These data were retrieved from another restaurant. Scepter 4, based on the individual's movements, retrieved other surveillance equipment along the route and was able to fully confirm the suspect's face. Therefore, only we at Scepter 4 know the individual's exact appearance."
Of course, Awashima Seri also had a purpose behind this deliberate holding back. As unique intelligence, Scepter 4 would only share it if the Jujutsu Association expressed its intention to cooperate. If the Jujutsu Association remained arrogant and ignored them, there was no need for Scepter 4 to warm up to them.
Yuyin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Awashima Seri's answer: "That's good, that's good."
Munakata Reiji asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"
Yuyin pondered how to explain the strange behavior of the Jujutsu Association's top brass, ultimately offering a general explanation: "Because the Jujutsu Association doesn't have a leader as wise as the director, if we expose Suguru Geto's affairs, they'll be more interested in internal strife than external enemies. They might even lose members before they even face the enemy."
The people present were all smart people. Munakata Reiji, Awashima Yerima and even Fushimi Saruhiko quickly understood the meaning of her words.
However, understanding doesn't mean acceptance. Fushimi widened his eyes in surprise: "At this time, they are still thinking about fighting for power among themselves, while those cursed spirits are constantly causing tragedy?"
It was no wonder that Fushimi was so surprised. Although he had been in three royal organizations, generally speaking, whether it was the Red Group representing freedom or the Green Group representing change, the leaders and the people below were very idealistic and had aspirations, but it was rare to see those who acted for fame and fortune.
Yuyin sighed, "Fushimi, the Jujutsu Association is an organization with a long history. Having a long history also means that their thinking is corrupt and backward, especially the top leaders. To protect their own interests, they don't even hesitate to take action against their own people."
It was only after she died once that she saw through everything completely.
"Understood," Munakata Reiji nodded calmly. "In that case, we will pay attention to the information we provide when communicating with the Jujutsu Association later."

After resolving the issue related to "Geto Suguru", Yuyin could theoretically retire.
However, seeing that she was about to leave, Fushimi quickly grabbed her and said that he had something to discuss with her.
After the fusion of the worlds, as the third-in-command of Scepter 4 and the best computer user in the group, Fushimi can be said to be one of the busiest people. At one point, his busier level exceeded that of the head of the department and the second-in-command, Awashima Seri.
This time, the task of tracking down "Geto Suguru" once again fell on Fushimi. Even with the help of the [Consciousness-Only] system, it was still a difficult task for Fushimi to find the exact whereabouts of "Geto Suguru" in the vast crowd.
After listening to Fushimi's introduction and looking at the machine in front of her, Yuyin looked at him suspiciously: "Are you trying to get me to work overtime?"
As she spoke, she took a few steps back and made a gesture: "No way, no way!"
The director is my superior. It's fine if he forces me to work overtime, but you, Fushimi, also want me to work overtime. Impossible!
Fushimi pushed his glasses up and said helplessly, "I'd like to find someone to share the work. Besides Kusunohara Tsuyoshi, there aren't many people in the office who are good with computers." Even Kusunohara's computer skills were only mediocre, and those in the field team who only liked to use swords were even less likely to be counted on. And he couldn't possibly ask the head of the office and Miss Awashima to help with trivial matters like operating the system. "But don't worry, this isn't the reason I'm looking for you this time."
"Really?" Yuyin looked at him suspiciously.
"Really?" Fushimi smiled wryly, tapping a few times on the system's buttons. He pulled up the roadside surveillance footage mentioned earlier and pointed to a clip of footage taken at a traffic light. "We originally thought he was alone, until this footage shows him talking to someone. There's no one around him, and he's not using any communication tools."
Yuyin looked up at the big screen, squinting slightly: "It's a curse spirit."
"After discussing it with Ms. Awashima, I came up with the same hypothesis. It's because technology can't capture supernatural beings." Fushimi frowned slightly and turned to Yuyin and asked, "Is there any way to capture cursed spirits or monsters? In this situation, since we can't capture those supernatural beings, the [Consciousness-Only] system's effectiveness is greatly limited. We often don't realize something's wrong until after it happens, and by the time we arrive at the scene, it's always too late."
During this period of time, Fushimi had witnessed too many tragedies and always wished he could arrive earlier, so he specifically asked Yuyin for advice. After all, she was more familiar with cursed spirits and monsters.
Yuyin shook her head solemnly. "It's impossible to capture their figures with technological products, unless they appear parasitized in physical containers. Just like ordinary people can't see cursed spirits and monsters, only special people with special powers, such as kings, outsiders, sorcerers, and demon exorcists, can see them with the naked eye. You want to use technological products to capture them, unless..."
"Unless what?" Fushimi asked excitedly.
Yuyin pondered for a moment before offering an answer. "Unless you have some extraordinary, technologically advanced equipment with special powers, you'd be hard-pressed to capture images of creatures like cursed spirits. I know there are many magical tools with special functions in the world of curses, but I haven't seen a technique that can be stably attached to modern technological equipment..."
At this point, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Yuyin's mind, and Fushimi was also reminded by her words. He thought of something and suddenly looked at her.
Yuyin looked at Fushimi who suddenly realized something and said, "I have a feeling that we are thinking of the same person."
"Yeah," Fushimi pushed the frame of his glasses and sighed, "It's a pity that the man is dead."
Yuyin couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity."
When the Green King Bishuiliu died, Yuyin had already left the world of the King. Even the news of his death was learned from the director afterwards. However, the other party's ability to grow through the Internet was indeed an eye-opener for the King. To a certain extent, Bishuiliu's supernatural characteristics perfectly matched Yuyin's idea of infusing special abilities into technological products, giving them the ability to photograph unnatural creatures.
Unfortunately, he is gone, and there is no way to test whether his abilities are of practical use.
Fushimi still didn't want to give up, and tentatively asked, "What if it was the clan he gave power to? How many people are still alive in Jungle..."
Yuyin shrugged: "That depends on whether you can get them to cooperate with your experiment."
"That won't work, so what else can I do?"
Fushimi was deflated. He and Gojo Sukuna only had a fight as their acquaintance. The last time the director went to meet them to exchange information, he had to use the favor of the Silver King to communicate.
Yuyin stared at the big screen and said thoughtfully, "It's not that there is no way..."
"Is there any way?" Fushimi asked excitedly.
Yuyin analyzed, "Although cursed spirits and monsters cannot be photographed by the naked eye or technological equipment, cursed spirits possess cursed power, and monsters possess demonic power..."
"I see!"
Fushimi suddenly realized that it wouldn't work if he just took a picture directly, but he could find another way. Just like an infrared thermal imager, he could use the method of capturing energy fluctuations to capture the existence of non-natural creatures.
Yuyin nodded and said, "That's right. Just like capturing the King's energy fluctuations and Wiesmann Deviation, as long as we can capture the Curse Spirit's energy fluctuations, we can determine its location and movement trajectory."
In fact, the Curse Association used the existence of the "window" to monitor and detect the activities of the cursed spirits, and it seemed that the Tianyuan barrier also helped, but Yuyin didn't know more specific details.
"We want to complete energy monitoring for the entire Kanto region. Now that we've lost the stone tablets and the power of the king..." Fushimi was already thinking about the feasibility. "This matter needs to be reported to the director immediately. If we really want to achieve it, Scepter 4 alone can't do it. We need to cooperate with the Hei Shiyuan and the Onohashi Tower."
Fushimi is obviously a man of action. He does what he thinks of. He immediately left Yuyin alone and ran to find the director to report his new action plan.
Yuyin stood in front of the [Consciousness-Only] system and pressed the keyboard a few times, and the surveillance footage on the big screen immediately reversed.
Yuyin looked at the image of "Geto Suguru" over and over again. Her lip-reading ability was average, and she could only recognize words she was particularly familiar with. However, because words like "Sukuna" and "fingers" were a bit sensitive to her, Yuyin recognized them at once. After recognizing them over and over again, she also recognized the lip shape of "Juvenile Yard".
Her heart sank. This was undoubtedly the worst possibility. The person using the identity of "Geto Suguru" had connections with the top leaders of the Jujutsu department, and the previous juvenile detention center incident was a conspiracy between them.

Author's comment: After rewatching this episode, I realized that the person who said Sukuna and the person pointing at the traffic light were both clepsydras, but let's just assume that Naohua said a lot before the camera cut to them_(:з」∠)_
