Chapter 36 If Line Extra (Jia Shi was taken back to hell)
On the bustling streets of Beika-cho, a car with a Yokohama license plate drove into the underground parking lot of the Enhui Building.
The man in a suit in the driver's seat glanced cautiously at his boss and the little blonde girl sitting in the back, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
The worried middle-aged man didn't care at all that he was in someone else's territory and had countless enemies. He took the hand of the little blonde girl and said, "Let's go, Alice. Haven't you been looking forward to Huiyuan's cuisine for a long time?"
As he smiled, fine lines appeared at the corners of the man's eyes, and his deep red eyes were filled with reminiscence: "Just wait for us in the car, don't worry."
"Rintaro said he was going to meet a friend and didn't want any unimportant people following him." Alice made a face at the driver in the car, turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
Walk through the green-lit corridor with LED emergency exit signs, open the door, and the underground shopping mall with the aroma of food appears before your eyes.
As the only 24-hour commercial building in Beika-cho, Enhui Building is very lively, especially the food area on the basement floor where you can get a comfortable seat and unlimited WiFi just by buying a drink.
"Rintaro, I want to eat crepes." Alice grabbed Mori Ogai's hand and pointed to a popular crepe shop.
"Okay." Mori Ogai glanced at the people in line and deliberately put on a distressed expression: "Looks like I'm going to be late for a while."
It was half an hour later when Alice entered the elevator with a bunch of snacks.
Their destination is Huiyuan, a traditional Japanese restaurant on the top floor, and the chef will only serve one table of guests tonight.
When Mori Ogai arrived at his seat, a man in chef's uniform was already standing behind the counter sharpening his knife.
The half-arm-long cooking knife was being carefully sharpened slowly, and the casserole next to it emitted an enticing aroma.
The tall man had a calm air in his every move, which made Mori Ogai feel a little surprised.
Sugawara no Shiori was still the same. Due to the Heaven and Curse, his unreasonably strong physique made him look younger, but when he showed his professional fake smile, there was still a fine line at the corner of his mouth.
She's just a little younger than him, Mori Ogai thought with a clear conscience as he touched his hair with a wig on.
"Can we serve the main course now, sir?" asked Sugawara Jiner. He slowly wiped the blade of his knife and took out a very fresh and plump tuna.
"Doesn't Huiyuan have a recipe?" Mori Ogai asked, leaning back in his chair.
"No, because this is a traditional Japanese restaurant. The chef who pays attention to the spirit of craftsmanship has his own persistence." Sugawara Shinji said simply, cutting the tuna meat into appropriate sizes, and finally put it on a plate in front of the two guests.
Mori Ogai looked at the exquisite tuna on the beautiful plate in front of him and said, "Is this why you chose to open a Japanese restaurant?"
"Children have to find something to do when they grow up, and even if we gamble away the money Kayo left behind, we will never be able to spend it all," said Sugawara Shinji.
"If Jia Shi knew what you are doing now, he would probably rather you gamble." Mori Ogai said, his face a little more serious as he got to the point.
Mori Ogai didn't know much about what happened back then. At that time, he was working as a doctor in the underworld of Yokohama and getting close to the boss of the Yokohama mafia. He only knew what happened on the day Sugawara Megumi was born and then Sugawara Yoshiyo disappeared.
He disappeared completely without leaving a trace. Sugawara Shinji was even investigated as the perpetrator at first because of the huge inheritance he received, and was released later.
The handsome young widower holding the child attracted a lot of attention, especially after this guy went crazy and turned the world of curse, the world of people with special abilities and the Japanese black country upside down in order to find a wife. Many people wanted to become Sugawara Megumi's bride.
Then Sugawara Shinji just started to act like a loser, trying all kinds of risky things, making huge bets/gambles, and doing all kinds of excessive things. He only got back on his feet after the brothers he met in the police academy teamed up to wake him up.
Most of the inheritance left by Yoshiyo Sugawara was squandered within a year. Only stocks and real estate escaped the disaster because they were handed over to a professional investment planner. The only thing left was the "Enkei Building" named after their son.
However, Sugawara no Shigeru was not satisfied with the life of a happy landlord and had many little tricks up his sleeve, which is why Mori Ogai came into being.
"Since the Dragon Head War, you have been collecting information and bodies of the dead in Yokohama. What do you want to do?" Mori Ogai asked.
At first, Mori Ogai didn't understand what Sugawara no Shigeki was doing until a large amount of ashes were found in a batch of goods shipped from foreign countries to Yokohama Port this year.
For sorcerers and psychics, there are many things they can do after obtaining the ashes, and Sugawara no Shigeki has made friends with many extraordinary people in this field over the years.
Sugawara Shinji glanced at the gang leader in front of him. He felt that what he had done was not so excessive that this guy would say that about him, but he knew that this kind of harmless concern came from his wife.
Thinking of this, after a brief thought, Sugawara Jiner stood up straight and gave his answer: "I want to take Jia Shi back."
Mori Ogai looked at the very serious expression of the person opposite him, and countless thoughts appeared in his mind. Could it be that Sugawara Yoshiyo is not dead? Where is she now? What power can make this couple unable to break free and separate until now?
Mori Ogai sat up straight and asked cautiously, "Where is Jiashi?"
"It's just a guess, Yoshiyo may be in the other world." Sugawara no Shiro said, he looked at the painting hanging on the wall beside him. It was a picture of Yama Hell painted by a modern painter.
Mori Ogai felt that Sugawara Shinji's problem was bigger than he had imagined, because whether it was the firm tone or the excitement flashing in his eyes, he could feel that this guy was not joking, he was serious.
"Then what about Hui?" Mori Ogai tried to use his son to awaken this guy's sanity.
"Don't worry, even if I'm not there, the kid still has six good uncles to take care of him." Sugawara Shinji replied.
"A-chu——" A young man in sportswear who was waiting for the subway sneezed. He carefully zipped up his bag to the top, took out a liquid medicine from a compartment of his sports bag and drank it.
The pink-haired boy standing aside noticed the words "replenish energy, enhance immunity" on the potion and couldn't help laughing: "Keiko is still so cautious."
"I didn't expect the temperature to drop so suddenly when I went to the training camp. Even though I bought a coat, I still caught a cold." Sugawara Megumi put on her mask and sniffed, then handed a bag of red ginseng essence to her childhood friend: "Yuji, this is yours."
Yuji Itadori, a boy who had never caught a cold since he was a child and had six-pack abs at the age of fifteen, waved his hand and said, "I don't need this kind of thing."
Three seconds later.
With his friends waving their arms to spray disinfectant and watching him intently, Yuji Itadori finally drank the bag of medicine.
"The train is ten minutes late." Sugawara Megumi frowned as she looked at the direction the train was coming from.
"Maybe there was an accident." Yuji Itadori shrugged. Not all trains stop at Beika-cho station. It is normal to encounter accidents like eight people lying on the tracks and murdering someone.
As the words fell, a bright yellow light rang out.
"We're finally here." Yuji Itadori smiled as he looked at the lights of the train. "This way, I can get home in time for the game. My dad said he made fried chicken. You can come to my house and watch the game too."
Sugawara Megumi reached out and stopped her friend from moving forward: "Yuhito, something's wrong."
The emerald green eyes of the boy with the sea urchin hair were filled with caution. The black dragon lurking in the shadow under Sugawara Megumi's feet climbed up along the boy's ankles and finally stopped at his shoulder. Lightning lingered around the dragon's body, appearing and disappearing.
Yuji Itadori knew his friend's "little secret" and did not cooperate with him and went forward. Instead, he thought for a moment and took out a brick-sized power bank from his bag.
The train stopped and a familiar announcement sounded: "This train has arrived at Beido-cho. The next stop will be Beika-cho."
The tram door opened, but no passengers got off. The scene seemed very strange for a moment.
The normal stop time of the train is two minutes. Sugawara Megumi and Itadori Yuji looked at each other and turned to walk out of the station. But after walking a short distance, they found themselves back in front of the train.
No matter how many times they tried, the farthest they could get was to the elevator, which was three meters away.
The open doors of the tram seemed to be making a silent mockery.
Yuji Itadori looked in the direction of his friends, and Sugawara Megumi pressed the mask on her nose with her fingers, then walked towards the train.
The tram was empty, and the two teenagers chose to sit facing each other on the chairs near the door.
The train started moving again, but the two boys' expressions became more and more strange because the noises on the train became more and more frequent.
The first sound that appeared was breathing, then the sound of grabbing the handrail, and finally the whispering. The increasingly frequent sounds made Yuji Itadori Yuji clench the brick in his hand.
The feeling of sitting on the train was strange, as if the two of them were sitting on a train packed with invisible passengers. After this feeling appeared in his mind, he could even feel the gazes resting on him.
This strange atmosphere was soon broken by the boy with the sea urchin head. Sugawara Megumi looked up at the monster with deformed limbs in front of her and said: "Put your pliers away. Mom will be sad if I get hurt."
When the four monsters looked at each other, they let out a sharp cry. At that moment, all the monsters in suits on the train looked in the direction of Sugawara Megumi and attacked.
The black dragon lying on Sugawara Megumi's shoulder let out an angry roar, opened its mouth and attacked the monsters.
"The next station of the train is Beika Town. Please take your belongings with you." The broadcast sounded again.
Suddenly, a tall, white-haired young man appeared in the train, stepped over the seats that had been twisted into a knot and thrown on the ground, and came in front of the two teenagers.
The horrible dents on the wall and the completely shattered windows were scary, the only safe spot was an intact seat and two teenagers who seemed unaffected.
The one with pink hair took out his game console and focused completely on the screen, while the one with black hair next to him was reading a novel with headphones on.
The boy, who seemed slimmer than his peers, had a very pretty and delicate face. His fair complexion and quiet look while reading gave people the impression of being well-behaved and sensible. However, Gojo Satoru was able to determine from the remaining cursed energy in the train that the tragic situation inside the train was caused by him.
Gojo Satoru, who arrived late, was very satisfied that the two children in the car were not hurt at all, so he sat in the seat between the two teenagers in a familiar manner.
With nowhere to put his long legs, Gojo Satoru crossed his legs and looked at the boy beside him: "Sugawara Megumi, are you interested in becoming a sorcerer?"
The boy closed the book in his hand and looked politely at the strange man with the eyepatch beside him with his emerald green eyes: "Not interested, I refuse."
"Hey, why is that? It's obvious that both the use of cursed power and the completion of the spell are very high. You must have received training since childhood. Aren't you working hard to become a sorcerer?" Gojo Satoru asked. Based on his experience, he knew that Sugawara no Shigeki had been training his son all the time.
Sugawara Megumi moved her fingertips slightly to calm the restless Mo Long in the shadows, and said seriously, "Being a sorcerer is not in my career plan. My dream is to become the director of a zoo."
Sugawara Megumi finally declined her friend's invitation to go home. The boy walked into the living room and greeted the young woman in the photo on the wall earnestly: "Mom, I'm back.
I had a good race today, aiming for a good result in the national competition. On the way home, I encountered a car full of cursed spirits and a strange old man, but I managed to avoid them and escape unscathed.
"Aren't you staying at the Yuji family today?" Sugawara Shinji walked out of the study with some surprise, but he didn't stop what he was doing.
"His Highness and Uncle Jin both tried to keep me, but I said I wanted to go home and take care of my old father." Sugawara Megumi raised the food in his hand and looked at his father: "Shin'er, are you ready to go out?"
The father and son, separated by half the living room, have very similar faces, except that one is weathered and gentle, while the other is young and immature with sharp edges.
"Shin'er, what are you going out for?" Sugawara Megumi asked carefully. He was a little worried about his stupid father's recent condition.
Sugawara Megumi has an unreliable father. He even thinks that Shi'er raised him only because of the promise he made to his mother. If it weren't for the five police officers and Uncle Jin next door, he would probably have been raised astray, such as becoming the most proficient gambling/gambling middle school student in Japan.
But Sugawara Megumi still loves his stupid dad and mom very much, because he knows that his dad is just not used to living with only two of them. He tries very hard to take care of him. After all, even a fool can't take care of himself.
The black dragon hidden in the shadows and the unlimited magical power are the gifts left to him by his mother, who loves him very much.
"Keiko, do you still remember the bedtime stories I told you when you were a child?" asked Sugawara no Shiori.
Sugawara Megumi nodded. His stupid father could only tell one story, which was about a brave father and son who overcame all difficulties and finally rescued Princess Jiashi.
For a long time, Sugawara Megumi thought that her mother was a princess who was kidnapped by bad guys, just like Princess Peach, and would eventually be rescued by Mario.
"I'm going to rescue Princess Kayo." said Sugawara no Shigeki.
"I want to go with you." Sugawara Megumi replied immediately.
"No, there is a certain risk. If something happens to you, I won't have the face to see Jiashi." Shen'er refused flatly.
Then Shen'er saw an expression of persistence on that very similar face. This girl had the same stubborn personality as Jia Shi and no one could change her mind.
After seeing the hesitation in her father's eyes, Sugawara Megumi raised the eager Molong with a look on her face and said: "If I take Molong with me, maybe I can find my mother faster."
Sugawara Megumi had imagined many things he would encounter on the way to find his mother, such as extremely terrifying cursed spirits, monsters powerful enough to cause weather changes, or cruel criminals, but he did not expect that he would be taken to Beika TV Station.
After rejecting the third person who handed him a business card and asked if he wanted to be a trainee, Sugawara Megumi saw Uncle Kong who often gave him homemade kimchi.
"Sugawara, why did you bring Hui here too?" Kong Shiyu said in surprise.
"Emi also wants to see Jiashi, so of course the three of us have to be together." Jiner replied, looking at the executive director who was communicating with the staff on the scene. The young man turned around and made an OK gesture: "All the mediums on site are ready."
Sugawara Megumi looked at the people in different clothes in the venue below and said, "Shin'er, why are there so many people looking for a psychic? There should be a hundred of them."
"It's 5,000. They even funded a psychic competition in Mihua. There are generous bonuses for those who can summon multiple souls at the same time." Kong Shiyu complained, hoping that Ahui could take care of his father.
Although they are friends, Kong Shiyu really thinks it is a miracle that Shier did not destroy the property left by Sugawara Yoshiyo today.
"How do we judge whether the summoning was successful?" Sugawara Megumi looked at her father puzzledly.
Shen Er touched the scar at the corner of his mouth and said, "I provided something to each contestant for confirmation."
Sugawara Megumi was about to ask something when she saw her father's face show a familiar expression when he wanted to change the subject: "It's about to begin, Megumi, get ready."
"What preparations have you made?" Sugawara Megumi clenched the strap of his bag. He brought the Nichirin sword that his mother left him. In the shadows were various hot weapons, cursed tools, and magical instruments that his father used to train him.
Without waiting for Shi'er's answer, Sugawara Megumi knew what preparations to make.
He saw dots, then lines. When transparent souls were constantly being summoned, Sugawara Megumi clearly noticed the overlapping things between the spiritual dots and the spiritual lines, which constructed a black space that was inexplicably attractive to him.
The black hole in this position made Sugawara Megumi subconsciously look at her father, and then Sugawara Megumi found that Shino was smiling very happily.
"It seems that I didn't guess right. Come on, I'll take you to find your mother." Shen'er said as he grabbed his son's arm and jumped towards the black hole.
