Chapter 83

Amamiya Leisheng smiled stiffly and sent a message to Gojo Satoru in front of the woman: "Satoru, I met an acquaintance and went to have dinner with her. If you don't see me when you come back, remember to eat the dessert I put in the hotel refrigerator, otherwise it won't taste good."

The other party did not reply. Perhaps he was still on a mission and had no time to check his phone. Amamiya Ruisei put away his phone and said, "Then where are we going to eat?"

The woman smiled friendly, turned around and walked in front to lead the way, as if she was not afraid at all that Amamiya Keisei would run away halfway.

Amamiya Keisei remained alert throughout the whole process. At first, he thought that the other party would take him to some deserted place and do something bad. As a result, he just found a roadside hotel and walked in, and asked the waiter to open a private room for them.

The waiter looked at the two people at least three meters apart in confusion, wondering if they knew each other. However, it didn't look like a human trafficking scene, so he didn't ask. He took the people to the private room and handed them the menu.

"What would you like to eat?"

The woman took the initiative to push the menu in front of Amamiya Ruisheng and said, "Since it's my treat, why don't you order the dishes, sir? I don't have any dietary restrictions, so I can eat anything."

When Amamiya Leisheng came in, he took a look around and found that it was an ordinary restaurant no matter how he looked at it. He glanced at the innocent expression on the woman's face and simply decided not to be polite with her and started ordering food.

After the waiter left, they were the only two people left in the room. Amamiya Reisei tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help asking, "Well, what do you want to talk to me about?"

He doesn’t think that they had dinner together just because they met by chance and felt that they were destined to be together. He is not a fool!!

The woman looked puzzled: "Isn't it just a meal?"

Amamiya Leisheng took a deep breath and said, "You don't think I'm a fool, do you?"

"Of course not," the woman said with a muffled laugh. "Well, how should I put it? Just think of me as being very interested in you. Of course, not that kind of interest."

Amamiya Reizo: “…”

Are all bosses nowadays so upright?

The boy was in a state of doubt. Was he really as easy to deceive as he seemed? Something was wrong.

However, as he communicated with the other party for a longer time, the task progress value on the system interface actually fluctuated. Instead of rising slowly, it suddenly went up to twenty-something, then suddenly dropped back to fifteen, slowly rose again, and then fell again. It was just like riding a roller coaster.

After thinking about it, Amamiya Ruisei decided to continue communicating. If he could get some information from the other party, perhaps the mission progress would be improved.

Judging from the current situation, the other party obviously does not intend to kill him, which means that he has value. What kind of value is it? No matter how you think about it, it is related to his technique.

But on the surface he is just a second-level sorcerer. The most his spell can do is kill a first-level cursed spirit with one move, and it’s not a very powerful or rare spell. Why pay attention to him?

He thought for a moment and decided to just talk nonsense.

"You don't have to be so wary of me. I said I have a child, but it's true." The woman took a sip of water and smiled, "Maybe you'll have a chance to see the child in the future. You'll definitely like the child."

Amamiya Raizo: “…Really? Then which city is your child in now?” It feels like there’s some conspiracy going on, so it’s better not to run into it.

The woman did not answer. She drank her tea leisurely, rubbing the rim of the cup with her fingertips, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Mr. Amamiya is still a student, right? I didn't expect to see you in so many places. I'm very curious."

Amamiya Ruisei: "Oh, because I always go crazy in school and scare my classmates every day, the principal couldn't stand it and suspended me from school. Now I'm traveling everywhere."

"…mad?"

"Yeah," Amamiya Rei started to talk nonsense, speaking as if it were real, "like getting myself covered in blood and falling in the infirmary, so that my classmates would think I was seriously injured and about to die. Or like standing on the rooftop every day ready to jump off the building, but in fact I had a safety rope tied around my waist, and jumping down would be just like bungee jumping."

"Or they would just jump into a river at the school gate, float on the water and pretend to be a floating corpse. They would even jump into the sea whenever they passed by the beach, scaring the fish there."

"..." The woman looked speechless.

Amamiya Leisei was still talking nonsense: "Even so, the teacher still has great expectations for me. He thinks that I can become a foreman in the future. You know, the salary of a foreman is quite considerable. My classmates have said that they will not live in the building I led to build."

"Oh yes, by the way, what kind of job did Mrs. Kaori find when she came to Hokkaido?"

The woman's mouth twitched: "Cooking for others."

Amamiya Rei's eyes lit up: "Oh, cooking? That's great, it's leisurely and there's money to be made. If I didn't know how to cook, I would have wanted to apply for a nanny job after graduation. Well, will I ever be able to graduate... Well, it's a bit embarrassing to say that I've only been to the kitchen twice, and I blew it up both times."

"This is so weird. I followed the recipe exactly, so why did the kitchen explode?"

The young man kept chattering, not giving the woman a chance to interrupt. Her eyes visibly turned cold, and she suddenly laughed out loud: "In that case, why don't you let me teach you how to cook? You will have to live alone in the future, and it will be a big loss if you don't know how to cook."

"Uh, but I can cook..."

"It doesn't matter. If you blow up the kitchen, I'll blow you up."

Amemiya laughed dryly: "Haha, haha..."

Okay, it's confirmed. The villain boss wants to recruit him to do bad things together. The means of threat are very direct. If he doesn't agree, he will be killed. But he doesn't look like someone who would do bad things. He looks so well-behaved and cute.

What should he do now? Should he delay a little longer and wait for Gojo Satoru to come find him? Or should he just take advantage of the situation and infiltrate the villain?

His mission is to promote the creation of a new world line. Even if the person in front of him is not the final boss, her influence must be great. He has always been by Gojo Satoru's side. Although he can participate in every turn, it is difficult to make changes in advance. But if he follows this person, he can't say what he can do, and it is very likely that he will be killed after being used.

So the question is, he is just an ordinary second-level sorcerer, why would the other party want to recruit him?

After a moment of silence, Amamiya Leisheng chose to ask directly: "Why? I don't believe you don't know my identity. I'm just an ordinary sorcerer. Compared with my classmates, I'm too weak to be seen. Why are you looking for me?"

"Do you want me to lurk beside Gojo Satoru and be ready to attack him at any time? But I'm so weak that I can't beat either Goku-kun or Geto-kun. If you want information from the inside of the Jujutsu world, I can't get in touch with them right now. And you probably have your own spies, so you don't need this, right?"

"No, I don't need you to do either of the two things you mentioned." The woman's expression softened, and she looked at Amamiya Keisei meaningfully, "I just need you to follow me all the time, and when necessary, you need to cooperate with me in doing something. Don't worry, it won't involve your classmates... probably."

Yu Gong Lei Sheng pursed his lips: "After I finish my work, I can die, right?"

The woman raised her eyebrows: "Not necessarily, if your value is not just what I see now."

Amemiya Ruisheng moved his lips and fell into thought.

[Ahhh host, don't agree to her, it's too dangerous!] The system was so anxious in its head that it almost jumped out and hit the woman sitting opposite, [This kind of thing that sounds wrong, how can it really be with the villain boss, it will definitely be used to death, host, you are not calculating this and that!]

[…You can just call me an idiot, system.] Amamiya Reizo’s eyes were empty, [What can I do now? Use a spell to kill her and run away? The problem is, can I really kill her? She will definitely kill me in return.]

[So what's so special about me that I could provoke the villain boss so easily?]

The system was also confused. It quickly screened and calculated all the things that had happened before, and speculated: [Could it be because of the previous encounter with the special-grade one? Although there was the assistance of Gojo Satoru, the host also directly cut into the field of the special-grade curse spirit. Even if the higher-ups don't know, it doesn't mean that the villain boss doesn't know.]

[It's easy to get into a domain, but hard to get out.] The system said hesitantly, [But based on this alone, it doesn't seem very special.]

Although it is difficult to break through the domain, it is not impossible. As long as your own domain is stronger than the opponent's, you can cover it directly.

Amamiya Reizo pondered: [Is it possible that it is not the special domain that is broken, but the special domain that is ‘cut’? System, do you have any data on this?]

[No, I don't even have world line data, how can there be such detailed information...] The system was depressed, [But don't panic, host, I will search online now!]

Can you really find something like this on the Internet? Amamiya Ruisei thought expressionlessly.

[No, why did the topic get changed? What we should be discussing now is that the host shouldn't agree to her!] The system reacted and started howling again.

Amamiya Rei: [What can I do? I may not be able to beat her.]

He looked up at the woman named Kaori and asked slowly, "Can you tell me what's special about me? Otherwise, how should I cooperate with you?"

Woman: "I'll tell you when you leave with me."

"No, you tell me first." Yu Gong Lei Sheng became tough, "Since I am useful to you, you won't kill me casually. Why don't you tell me first, and then I will go with you."

The woman narrowed her eyes and looked at Amamiya Keisei. The young man seemed no longer afraid and stared at her.

"If you must know—" She curled her lips, "I'm attracted by your technique. Your technique is very special."

"Okay, I'm done. It's time for us to go."

The woman seemed to have no desire to continue the conversation. She glanced at Amamiya Reisheng lightly without even raising her hand. Amamiya Reisheng then felt his eyes go dark and his consciousness sank into darkness.

At least... let me eat first...

The boy struggled weakly for a while, and finally fell limply on the table.

"Sir, here are your dishes." Just then, the waiter came in with the prepared dishes and looked at Amamiya Keisei who was lying on the table with a slightly puzzled look.

Kaori... no, or rather, Nose, she looked at the waiter and said, "I'm sorry, my friend is a little tired, and we're going to go back. Can you please pack up the dishes that are ready for me, and return the ones that are not ready yet."

"Yes, guest."

Nozomi left the hotel carrying a big bag of food in one hand and Amamiya Ruishou in the other.

She looked at the pale-faced young man in her arms, and thought with some regret that the technique was good, but unfortunately it was too weak, otherwise she would have wanted to take over this kid's body right now.

As for why she didn't wait until he grew up before taking action...what she really wanted was Geto Suguru's body. She had planned everything out beforehand, but suddenly a transfer student showed up. Of course, she would feel at ease only after eliminating the uncertainties.

Nose narrowed his eyes.

However, this kid's technique is very similar to Ryomen Sukuna's, one is [Cut], the other is [Release] and [Eight]. The effects of the techniques are almost the same, but this kid's technique has one more rule.

That is to cut it in two absolutely within the limits of the technique.

"What is the limit of your technique?" Luosuo murmured, "I don't think you can just cut open an ordinary special-level domain."

…

"The guest with long grey hair? Yes, I remember there was such a person, and he left his phone behind when he left," the waiter thought for a moment and took out a phone from the front desk. "We really want to contact the owner, but they didn't leave any contact information. Although we called the police, they didn't find them so quickly. Are you his friends?"

Gojo Satoru took the phone and looked at it, then naturally entered the password and unlocked the screen: "We are, do you know where he went?"

Seeing that the phone's lock screen was unlocked, the waiter did not doubt it and said, "I'm not sure. He seemed to have fallen asleep at the time and was taken away by the lady who came with him."

"Miss?"

Gojo Satoru frowned: "What does it look like?"

"It's just long, long..." The waiter tried hard to recall, and finally shook his head in distress, "Sorry, I can't remember."

Gojo Satoru clenched the phone in his hand tightly, almost crushing it.

"Wu, I've already notified people, and they've started looking." Xia Yujie came over, looking worried, "Could it be that he encountered a curser and was kidnapped?"

Gojo Satoru took two deep breaths. After he and Geto Suguru finished their mission, he took out his cell phone and saw the message sent to him by Amamiya Tessei. It seemed that there was nothing wrong, but he was not stupid enough to think that the situation was as Amamiya Tessei said.

Sure enough, after he asked someone to locate Amamiya Ruisei's phone and came back, he found that he was missing.

"Damn Curse Master." Gojo Satoru stopped lingering in the hotel and turned around and left, "Let's go find someone!"

This time it wasn't just a mission where someone got hurt, but someone was simply lost!

Strangely, there was no trace of Amamiya Tadashi in any of the surveillance videos. It was as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"So we can't find him anywhere? Even if it's a corpse, there should be one, right?!" They searched for a week in Hokkaido. After returning to Tokyo, Gojo Satoru even searched the black market for traces of Amamiya Teishi, but there was no clue at all. "Are we supposed to pretend that this person has never existed in this world?"

Yega Masamichi's face was also gloomy, he had seen many sorcerers die, but that didn't mean they wanted such a nonsensical disappearance. Even if they found the body and said that Amamiya Keisei died in a battle with a sorcerer, it would be much better than having no news at all now.

“Wu, although it’s a pity, but…” Ye Mo Zhengdao’s expression was stiff, “The Governor’s Office doesn’t want to spend too much energy on finding a second-level sorcerer. We’ve been looking for half a month, and it’s already the limit. The higher-ups are planning to declare Lei Sheng dead. They originally planned to declare him a defector…”

Gojo Satoru stopped circling in annoyance and showed his six eyes from behind his sunglasses. His blue pupils were icy cold at the moment. “So you have to judge a person’s death so hastily?”

“Understanding…”

"What qualifications do they have to decide whether a person lives or dies?"

Gojo Satoru clenched his fists: "If they don't go looking for it, I will!"

He turned around and was about to leave the principal's office. When he reached the door, he stopped and said with his back to Yejie Zhengdao: "Teacher Yejie, Leisheng... can definitely become a special-grade sorcerer. He is now at the second level, but his spells can already cut into the realm of special-grade cursed spirits. And I guarantee that this is definitely not his current limit."

Ye Mo Zheng Dao was obviously stunned.

“If the Governor-General’s Office must determine whether to look for someone based on value, is this enough?” Gojo Satoru said, and walked away.

What is Amamiya Ruisheng doing at this moment, who is being worried about?

He sneezed violently several times, his hands trembled, and watching the water in the pot bubbling wildly, the boy took a breath and quickly turned off the fire, watching the water gradually calm down. Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, a crack suddenly appeared on the bottom of the pot, and the water inside flowed onto the stove, making a sizzling sound.

Amemiya Ruisheng: “…” Oops, the pot exploded again.

But at least I didn’t blow up the kitchen, which is progress.

He scratched his hair in distress, which he had been forced to dye from gray to black and then cut short. He blinked his ordinary-looking black eyes through the colored contact lenses and walked out of the kitchen with a guilty look on his face.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Yuji, I broke the pot again. I was just trying to cook a good meal."

He looked at the old man sitting in the living room and the child in his arms, his eyes wandering: "So today we can only order takeout."
