Chapter 90: Task Completion in Progress
Back at the college's sports field, it was a complete mess.
Fukuhei Megumi had her head smashed open, and Ding Jie's clothes were tattered. Only Tiger Brother looked alright.
Zenin Maki, Panda, and Inu-maki Thorn are all fine; it seems they didn't fight.
As expected, of the three injured, Fushiguro was beaten up by Toudou Aoi, and Nagisa was tricked by Maki's twin sister, Zenin Mai.
Later, Higashido Aoi was lured away by Itadori, and Old Hui escaped a disaster... Tiger Brother's explanation.
Old Hui's eyes widened, and he declared righteously, "I was just letting him win! I wasn't really going to fight!"
Ding Jie: "Yeah, yeah, I don't know who it was, but they got knocked out of the house with a single, devastating blow (she grabs him by the neck and sends him flying)! Damn it! Maki-nee! Don't blame me if I ask your sister for compensation for the school uniform next time we meet!"
"I'm sorry to have troubled you." Zenin Maki had a helpless expression on her face, like an older sister facing a troublesome younger sister. This younger sister is really a handful!
Now that they were back, Li Muyang treated the three of them for their injuries. In fact, these injuries were nothing to a sorcerer, but as a doctor, he couldn't stand seeing injured people in front of him and not caring about them!
"So slow~" x3
"Could you please stop using that high-pitched tone?" Li Muyang complained with a dark face.
With such a radiant smile, anyone who didn't know better would think I was up to something.
After healing the three men's injuries, Li Muyang continued, "I might be away from school for the next few days, so don't slack off on your training! Teacher Gojou is keeping an eye on you..."
"Excuse me, I have something to do." Gojo Satoru interrupted Li Muyang before he could finish speaking, "I'm going on a business trip, so don't expect me to bring you any souvenirs!"
"...Alright, as expected. Anyway, when I get back, make sure you guys don't get bullied by those people from Kyoto again!" Li Muyang said to the three of them with a wry smile.
"Of course!" Tiger was full of confidence. He didn't actually get beaten up much. It was mainly Fu Hei who was tricked. There weren't many people who could beat Dongtang Kui in close combat. This big brother's physical strength was too terrifying!
Toudou Aoi is a bit stronger than Itadaki, but there's still a chance to catch up! It'll only take a few days of special training!
"So, where are you going?" Fushiguro Megumi asked.
"Hehehe, I knew you cared about me, Lao Hui... cough cough, alright, alright, you're all in special training, someone has to do the tasks for the college, right?" Li Muyang was cut off mid-sentence by Lao Hui's resentful look. The guy's current state of being bleeding from his head was truly quite striking.
"Anyway, I'm planning to get rated as a top-tier player, and I'm just short of merit, so I'll go grind some experience! Don't be shy!"
"Are you sure you don't need any help?" Sister Ding asked.
Zenin Maki, the two people, and the bear also spoke up: "We've got nothing else to do either."
"Don't worry, I've found Mu Yang a friend who will be working with him. He'll be a helper in helping him with his rating." Seeing everyone's concern for Li Mu Yang's training, Gojou explained. Turning his head, he saw Li Mu Yang's sharp eyes, his lips twitched, and he continued leisurely, "Don't worry, your share of the salary won't be reduced!"
"That's fine!" Li Muyang's eyes softened immediately, and he nodded happily.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Li Muyang and Gojo Satoru went to see his reliable friend.
A reliable middle-aged man, Nanami Kento.
“If I weren’t worried about your lack of experience—after all, strength is one thing, but investigating cursed spirits requires sufficient experience—I would explain.” Gojo Satoru explained, smiling brightly as he patted Nanami Kento on the shoulder and said, “This is my reliable junior! The cursed sorcerer who’s quitting being a salaryman, Nanami Akira~”
Nanami Kento glanced at Gojo Satoru listlessly, too lazy to argue with him; he didn't like doing pointless things.
"Greetings, senior!" Li Muyang greeted him respectfully with a handshake. This person didn't like eccentric personalities, so he didn't want to leave a bad impression; he'd better be more composed!
Seeing how well-behaved Li Muyang was, Nanami Kento didn't say anything unnecessary. In his eyes, whether or not someone was from the same country was not important. What mattered was whether Li Muyang was a useful person. Even if Gojo Satoru said that Li Muyang was better than him, Nanami Kento only treated Li Muyang as a junior.
After a brief explanation, Li Muyang followed Qi Haijianren and began running missions.
After this ordeal, Li Muyang finally understood why there was a shortage of sorcerers!
"Senior, so a large part of the tasks for sorcerers are actually false reports?" Li Muyang said with a dark face, speechless. Several tasks in a row were all caused by human error or accidents.
Holy crap! So much free time? I can't even tell if I'm a sorcerer or a detective anymore! No wonder the two worlds are merging! It really suits them!
Nanami Kento seemed to have gotten used to it: "You'll get used to it, that's good enough! It's fine this way! Anyway, no cursed spirits are killing people, and we still get paid, right?"
There are too many false reports, no wonder sorcerers are too busy. In addition, with all the fancy stuff, the places that really need sorcerers are often overwhelmed.
Despite the complaints, there was compensation and credit, and the cursed spirit was spared from taking lives, so Li Muyang had no objections. It was a good thing if fewer people died! Who would hold a grudge against this thing? He wasn't a stubborn, overly kind person.
Killing requires a reason, but what reason is needed to save someone?
Li Muyang has always adhered to the professional ethics of doctors who save lives and heal the wounded.
But there are fakes and there are definitely real ones. In this process, Nanami Kento has seen why Gojo Satoru said that Li Muyang is stronger than him, and even stronger than Etotsu Yuta!
Not only is his combat prowess exceptional, but his combat skills are also remarkably high. His learning ability is astounding, and his observation and reasoning abilities are equally strong! Calling him a professional detective wouldn't be an exaggeration!
While these talents can be developed later in life, those who are born with such abilities become even stronger with further training! Moreover, Li Muyang's combat strength truly makes the Seven Seas Builders feel inferior!
Li Muyang could easily defeat cursed spirits with a single sword stroke, even those he needed to fight for a while! There was no difference between level one and level four cursed spirits; his eyes were devoid of joy or sorrow, a calmness that was awe-inspiring. It was as if he wasn't cutting down cursed spirits, but simply swinging his sword with ease! Every strike was a killing blow!
Unaffected by emotions, this composed personality suited the Qi Hai Jianren's taste perfectly, making them increasingly satisfied with Li Muyang! Many sorcerers undergo drastic personality changes after witnessing the complexities of human relationships, the ugliness of human nature, and the disgusting nature of cursed spirits. Someone like Li Muyang, with stable emotions and a steadfast Dao heart, is truly precious!
Such a person is perfectly suited to be a top-tier sorcerer!
No wonder Gojo Satoru values Li Muyang. As a friend, Nanami Kento knows very well that even someone as strong as Gojo Satoru doesn't have a clear goal in mind right now. Gojo Satoru does want to change the status quo of the jutsu world, but he doesn't know what to do. In addition, the experiences of his past companions and various changes have left Gojo Satoru exhausted and very confused.
Therefore, Gojo Satoru went to teach at the Jujutsu High School, wanting to pass on this important task of reforming the world of jujutsu to the next generation of young people.
Now that a young man with great strength, a firm Dao heart, stable emotions, gratitude, and wisdom has emerged, it's no wonder that Gojo Satoru wants to cultivate him!
Even in his primary duty of saving lives, there's no need to worry that this young man might turn righteousness into evil.
In one month, the two of them had almost finished all the old and worn-out quests accumulated by the Spellcasting Mastery!
He completes several tasks a day; his efficiency is so high that even the diligent Qi Haijianren would be ashamed of himself! He's almost embarrassed to accept the money, because while he could offer some guidance on the earlier tasks, Li Muyang is basically carrying him now.
The Heavenly Eye is exceptionally adept at searching for traces of cursed spirits; it can find even the slightest trace. And if it's a case of human intervention or an accident, the speed of solving the case is even faster!
Li Muyang: Please call me Detective Muyang!
If it weren't for the fact that these tasks are shady and can't be done in the light of day by sorcerers, Li Muyang could probably have become a famous detective.
During this process, Li Muyang even became acquainted with several police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department, including a large, kind-looking officer.
Even the last glimmer of hope in my heart died!
After nearly a month of work, Li Muyang and Qi Haijian finally had a break. They had mostly finished the tasks, and all that was left were the long-standing old cases and the new tasks that would be sent over.
While browsing through his past task list, Li Muyang suddenly discovered a task that had been completed a long time ago.
The task details were common in the list, and Li Muyang's sixth sense told him that there was definitely a cursed spirit at work. However, based on his experience, the task had been going on for too long, and the cursed spirit had probably already disappeared on its own.
What Li Muyang cared about was the list of victims.
Miki Fushiguro.
Yes, Lao Hui's sworn sister is a good person.
Judging from the photos alone, she seems to be a gentle and kind woman.
Unfortunately, the ending was quite tragic. She was in a coma for so many years and never opened her eyes to see Fushiguro Megumi before she died. Even though the curse on her body was removed, she still had the mark of the Lulu on her body, which meant that when she woke up again, she would be possessed by the ancient sorcerer Wan.
There are similar cases of Fushiguro Miki throughout Japan, but they are not all categorized together. This is because the world of sorcery is somewhat empiricist. The information in the files has nothing to do with her case. Only a small number of sorcerers suspect that she may be in the same situation as other comatose patients.
"I remember this young lady is your classmate's older sister, isn't she?" Nanami Kento asked thoughtfully as he walked over to Li Muyang, who was looking at the photo.
“Yeah, now that we’ve seen it, let’s go deal with it.” Li Muyang leaned back in his chair, stretched, and then stood up, saying, “Nana (Nanami), do you want to come along?”
Nanami Kento: "If you keep calling me that, I'll really get angry! Young people are so fickle! You used to call me 'senior'!"
"So, how do you plan to investigate this matter?" Nanami Kento asked, head bowed in thought. "If we want to save her, we'll probably have to find the source of the curse she's been afflicted with. Do you have any leads?"
"Heh, it's just saving someone, why make such a fuss!" Li Muyang snorted and confidently led the way away!
