MTL NOVEL Chapter 47
Chapter 47 Chapter 42 Pulling Natsuko to Play Cards
This guy’s head definitely has some issues.
At this moment, Satoru Gojo was completely convinced of this.
“A cursed sorcerer as wicked and evil as you seeks help from the high school’s jujutsu sorcerers, and to fool a little girl’s family. That’s somewhat funny.”
“And why do you think I would help you?”
The white-haired man covered his mouth and laughed. Although he intentionally made a girlish, exaggerated pose to mock Lin Qi, who was the object of ridicule, there was no sign of him caring about it.
“This kind of cleanup job is supposed to be the responsibility of high school,” said Lin Qi, then suddenly grinned, “And besides, you will agree to help.”
“Oh? Seems like you’re pretty confident. Are you challenging me to another fight?” Satoru Gojo slightly raised his head, showing an arrogant expression with a fervor hidden deep in his eyes.
Lin Qi slightly leaned down as Satoru Gojo also took up a battle stance.
In the next moment, the figure before them suddenly vanished, and Satoru Gojo changed his expression, immediately feeling Sukuna’s curse energy trailing after him.
In a blink, Satoru Gojo chased Lin Qi to the roof of a tall building where Lin Qi was leaning against the parapet terrace and seemed to lose his nonchalant demeanor, “What trick do you have now?”
Lin Qi rested on the railing, looking down at the bustling streets below, traffic flowed steadily on the roads while pedestrians walked by, forming a prosperous cityscape.
“Look, people down there are just like garbage,” said Lin Qi with significance.
“Are you threatening me with ordinary people?” Satoru Gojo replied in a low voice, raising his right hand slowly, ready to expand his domain and trap Lin Qi inside.
Even if his domain would be breached by Sukuna’s open-ended domain, as long as he defeated him before his own domain shattered, it would suffice.
“Yes.” Lin Qi turned around, wearing a playful smile, “How about it? Want to start a fight in the city? I’m okay with it, but everyone here might die before we finish fighting.”
Lin Qi!
Ignoring Yukinoshita Yukino’s exclamation in the encrypted channel, Lin Qi wore a mischievous grin, “Do you want to fulfill your combat desires or protect the lives of common citizens, how will you choose, Satoru Gojo?”
“Still trying hard to seek my assistance,” said Satoru Gojo.
“Yeah, since I’ve got a troublesome host.” Lin Qi shrugged, “So, shall we fight?”
Seeing that Satoru Gojo had not lowered his hand with the mudra, Gojo smiled, “It seems victory is more important to you than protection.”
“…”
For an instant, a multitude of complex thoughts flashed through those blue eyes glowing with a mysterious pattern.
For reasons unknown, Satoru Gojo finally lowered his hand.
Lin Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Judging from his past encounters with Satoru Gojo, this white-haired man should be someone who boasts heavily about his own strength and stands among the top-tier jujutsu sorcerers.
He thought the opponent would actively attack to prevent any destruction before defeating him.
But did he just give up?
Regardless of how complex Satoru Gojo’s thoughts were, as long as the goal was achieved, Lin Qi confidently stepped forward. “Alright alright, let’s hurry back to the police station.”
“Are you really Ryomen Sukuna?” Satoru Gojo suddenly asked. He had every reason to question this.
From personality to behavior, what Lin Qi said didn’t match the records of two-headed Ryomen Sukuna in the Jujutsu world. He even mentioned going to university! An entity active a thousand years ago, who became an artifact after death, attending university?!
Aside from power and techniques, Lin Qi was almost unrecognizable as Ryomen Sukuna.
“I am if you say so,” Lin Qi cryptically stated.
“Don’t look so disappointed, actually, we could cooperate.” Lin Qi’s lips curled inexplicably, knowing that Snow之下Yukino realized he was plotting something.
“While I can’t have Yukinoshita join High School because she is my disciple and temporary host, and since I don’t like being bossed around, we do have things we can collaborate over.”
“Collaboration between a sorcerer from High School and a cursed sorcerer like you? You’re rather humorous, Sukuna.” Satoru Gojo glanced sideways at him.
“Just call me Lin Qi.” Not minding the jab in his words, Lin Qi proposed, “You guys really need people. Tasks like subduing cursed spirits can be given to us, especially the tough ones like those above grade one, to reduce the number of High School’s sorcerer deaths while Yukinoshita gets to train in battle.”
“It’s a win-win!”
Now, he wouldn’t need to hunt down cursed spirits with Yukinoshita all the time, and he could focus on receiving tasks from High School while gaining points more easily.
Win-win, meaning he wins twice.
“Your aim is those six fingers preserved by High School?” Satoru Gojo found it absurd that the plot was exposed so directly and quickly.
“What six fingers?” As a beautiful young girl, the foreign devil asked confusedly.
“?” This act of pretending to be ignorant was too foolish that it felt insulting to Satoru Gojo’s intelligence.
Seeing Satoru Gojo cast a disdainful glance at him, Lin Qi felt genuinely innocent.
From their first conversation, he knew the two-headed Sukuna seemed to be some kind of artifact with Sukuna’s soul after his death.
But he truly doesn’t know the artifact containing Sukuna’s soul…
Wait a minute.
Lin Qi stroked his chin, seemingly distracted but fully submerged into Sukuna’s memories.
At first, he merely absorbed a shallow understanding when crossing over, without delving deeply.
But now, reviewing thoroughly, it was clear that Sukuna split his soul and curse energy into twenty parts under the aid of another man and sealed each part into his ten fingers.
And then followed a millennium’s worth of record, filled with him spacing out.
After watching Sukuna’s spacing out with fast-forward, Lin Qi sighed.
Impressive, in spacing out, I’d dub you the best.
Returning to reality, Lin Qi realized another problem: if he absorbed fingers containing Sukuna’s soul and curse energy, what situation would emerge?
Could they add Yukinoshihito Yukishima to form a trio in the domain playing Big Two? If they could pull in Tsukihiro, couldn’t they play Mahjong?
“You know what, maybe you should show me one.”
Satoru Gojo looked at him as if he was crazy.
“Do you really want it?”
…
After school, becoming a jujutsu sorcerer
