"I want to eat hot pot." Mimiko glanced at Kayu Kei and said softly.

Kayuki:……?

He thought the topic of the issue they had just discussed was the curser's noose, so after Mimiko said that opening sentence, he subconsciously identified it with the subject and decisively rejected what Mimiko had not yet said.

The consequence of taking things for granted is that when one hears the other party give an answer that is completely different from what he expected, he will be completely unable to refute it.

For example, now, Mimiko looked at him a little strangely, "Master Geto, why do you think I want to eat this?"

Nanako approached Mimiko in a stealthy manner and muttered, "I heard that what people express subconsciously is real, so Master Geto wants to eat brains."

"Then shall we go and catch him, Master Geto?" Mimiko thought for two seconds, then clenched her fist.

Kagome Tuo, who heard their conversation clearly, said:

Finally, the black-haired man tapped the two little puddings on the head as punishment, "Don't think about those things, I have no interest in eating sorcerers."

Nanako and Mimiko looked at each other in confusion.

What sorcerer?

Aren’t they talking about the dish in Chinese hotpot?

Geto Xia Yu, who had vaguely sensed something from the two people's behavior, felt something was not right.

Sure enough, the next second the two little kids clenched their fists, looked at each other, and shouted firmly:

"Don't worry, Master Xia Yu, we will definitely catch that brain and bring it back for you as a side dish for your hot pot!"

Xia Yujie:……

Is it okay to misunderstand Xiaodouding twice in a row?

Xia Yujie supported them and tried to explain and persuade the two little kids to give up such messy ideas.

Putting aside the fact that he had no idea about the brain dish, the brain... no, the danger of the noose was simply not something that two little radishes who had just started learning magic could handle.

He no longer remembered how long it took him to get the two little radishes to give up the idea, but the name "brain flower" was deeply imprinted in his mind.

"Noose?" Gojo Satoru repeated the name once, then held up his hands and said, "I've never heard of it."

Xia Yujie glanced at him and said calmly, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

"Because although this guy has been active for more than a thousand years, he has only been active in his original form for less than twenty years."

"Hmm? What Jie means is..." Gojo Satoru keenly noticed that Geto Jie had something else in mind.

The time he has been acting with his original body is less than twenty years, which means that this guy has other bodies besides his original body.

A technique to take over the body...?

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows with interest. This was something he had never heard of before.

"Yes, that's what I mean." Xia Yujie confirmed his guess, "He can use his own skills to exchange bodies with others. Through some operations, he can transplant his brain into someone else's brain, thereby obtaining the other person's memory, skills, and body."

“Wow, that’s a very sinister technique.” Gojo Satoru commented.

"Yes, and he's like a rabbit, he'll change his shell after a few years."

"So...how did Jie know him?" asked Gojo Satoru.

There is something tentative in these words.

But Geto Suguru was not surprised, or rather, he was a little surprised.
