I, in a Jujutsu Kaisen Manga, Take the Detective Conan World by Storm

The continuous building complex appeared immensely heavy under the gradually thinning sunlight, with one of the Big Three families, the Zenin family, entrenched here.

Guards in armor stood like erected stone monuments, silently nailed in place.

As the sun set in the west, two figures gradually emerged from the distant road. The white-haired person had his hands in his pockets, walking with casual grace and a completely carefree air.

The black-haired person beside him walked relatively more steadily, his loosely tied topknot swaying lightly with his steps.

They walked side by side toward the Zenin family's main gate.

The guards at the entrance stepped forward as they approached, making a gesture to stop them, their voices like stone: "Please show identification."

"Hah? No one came to greet us?" The white-haired person, Gojo Satoru, raised his voice, "Come on, you're the ones asking for our help, shouldn't you receive us with more style?"

The black-haired Geto Suguru beside him had a gentle expression, handing over a rectangular hard card with a stamp: "We're here to execute a mission. This is the card issued when we received the mission."

The lead guard took it, verified its authenticity with a portable device, then spoke in a flat voice:

"Mission: Train Zenin family students of appropriate age. Executors: Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School second-year students Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru. Requirement: Only two people permitted entry."

"Yes yes, so where are your people?" Gojo Satoru lifted his chin slightly, looking ahead.

"The family head and elder council are waiting for you two in the reception room." The lead guard bowed halfway, saying calmly, "Someone will guide you there."

"Fine." Gojo Satoru nodded with minimal movement, then his words suddenly shifted, blue eyes flashing with cunning, "By the way, 'only two people permitted entry' means non-human entry isn't restricted, right?"

"Uh, sorry, what?" The lead guard was stunned for a second, obviously not understanding what Gojo Satoru meant.

"Out of politeness, and to avoid causing disturbance, we'll explain in advance." Geto Suguru smiled with slightly squinted eyes, raising his hand to point, "Look behind."

The guard instinctively turned around.

On the wall top of the Zenin family's outer wall behind them, a silent black figure was sitting! An eerie silver-white gold-patterned fox full-face mask perfectly covered and concealed the face.

The sudden evening wind blew up the navy blue clothing corners, and ink-colored talismans flowed naturally with it. He was looking down, gaze seemingly focused on the book in his hands, the atmosphere quiet as water.

For a moment, there was only silence at the scene.

"What, what is this!?" A crack appeared in the guard's stone-like cold hard face as he stepped back half a step in disbelief, "How did this guy get through the barrier!?"

"The outer barrier blocks unrecorded humans and cursed spirits." Geto Suguru smiled with squinted eyes, "But He doesn't belong to either category."

The guard looked stunned, seemingly not understanding.

"Can't figure it out? Then I'll tell you the answer." Gojo Satoru curved his lips, his beautiful sky-blue pupils looking at the guard through his sunglasses, arrogantly lifting his chin, "This is the one who signed a contract with me, the Six Eyes... my monster."

His tone was light, but the information was extremely heavy, crashing down on everyone present.

"Hmm? A monster?" A blonde teenager of about ten years old heard the servant's report, his eye corners lifting.

He rested one hand on the table, gold edging appearing and disappearing on his kimono sleeves, the patterns being complex and orderly family crests. The exquisite fabric was distinctly different from the clothes of the servants around him who were either prostrating on the ground or standing with lowered heads.

Zenin Naoya, the Zenin family's legitimate heir. One year younger than Gojo Satoru. Sharp-tongued, arrogant, and admiring of strength, he also had very feudal male chauvinist thoughts and a terrible personality.

He had a pair of upturned green fox eyes, his appearance mostly inherited from his mother, so his looks weren't bad. Originally black-haired, but during his rebellious phase, he dyed it blonde himself at home.

At this moment, hearing that the high school duo from outside had brought along someone supposedly a "monster," Zenin Naoya snorted coldly:

"What monster, it's definitely that Gojo Satoru guy deliberately coming to mock us! You actually believe this? Too stupid."

"But, but it's said to really look like one, because the barrier that intercepts humans and cursed spirits can't stop it..." a house servant said quietly.

"No matter how similar, it's definitely fake!" Zenin Naoya scoffed, "It's definitely Gojo Satoru using some method, or that 'monster' is a cursed spirit released by that cursed spirit manipulator after entering the barrier, but the technique makes you unable to recognize it as a cursed spirit."

"But Young Master, what would be the point of that?" a somewhat bolder and more talkative house servant beside him asked, "Why would they do such a thing?"

"For fun! That's just how bad they are. The guards outside actually let them in, truly useless, no wonder they can only stand there like stones every day." His words were full of mockery, "Getting played around by that bastard Gojo."

Of course, these words he wouldn't dare say directly in front of Gojo Satoru, because Gojo Satoru would really beat him up.

The Zenin family had been closed off for years, so Zenin Naoya rarely got to see people from outside the family.

However, as one of the long-standing Big Three families, the Zenin family occasionally had some contact with the other Gojo family and Kamo family.

Zenin Naoya had met Gojo Satoru a few times when he was young, but basically got beaten up in those meetings, Naoya was unwilling to admit he was the one who started with the sharp tongue.

In any case, although Zenin Naoya had hidden strength-worshipping tendencies, because Gojo Satoru constituted his childhood trauma, his current idol was only one person, the Toji he had glimpsed in the hallway when he was ten years old.

Although it was just a passing encounter, Toji's powerful and cold aura deeply shocked Naoya, who had originally come to see him make a fool of himself.

From then on, Toji became the object of Zenin Naoya's inner admiration.

Unfortunately, Toji left the Zenin family to work alone not long after that. Zenin Naoya never saw him again.

After reminiscing about the past for a moment, Zenin Naoya was in an even worse mood. He suddenly stood up and strode outside: "I want to see what that Gojo Satoru guy is up to, daring to deceive our Zenin family!"

"Ah, wait... Young Master!"

"Young Master! You can't, the family head hasn't given permission..."

Zenin Naoya didn't care about the calling servants behind him, striding outside with big steps, preparing to rush directly to the reception hall where the family head and elder council were, wanting to see what those two from the high school were up to.

A monster? How could that be! It must be some newly collected cursed spirit by that Gojo Satoru guy and his cursed spirit manipulator accomplice, brought to deceive people.

His upturned eyes squinted slightly, lips pressed into a straight line, his footsteps making sounds as they hit the ground.

The chasing servants behind didn't dare actually physically stop Zenin Naoya, only pleading beside him. Zenin Naoya found their noise annoying, so he simply used his technique to rush forward, leaving the servants far behind.

He headed all the way to the reception hall, where naturally there were also quietly standing servants and guards waiting outside.

The person in charge here was stricter than those in Zenin Naoya's room, and wouldn't relax the rules because of Naoya's status.

They expressionlessly blocked Zenin Naoya, indicating that if he made loud noises, they would "escort him out."

"......" Zenin Naoya pressed his lips straight. At this moment, his strength couldn't win against them. So he quickly adjusted his thinking, nodding: "Fine, I won't go in, I'll wait outside. Your duty is just not letting people in, you didn't say people can't wait outside, right?"

The guards hesitated for a few seconds, then lowered their hands: "As you wish, Young Master Naoya. As long as you stay quiet." They still guarded the main entrance.

Zenin Naoya circled around several times, finally stopping by the window. The venetian blinds inside half-concealed the view, he could only vaguely glimpse a little.

The blonde teenager squinted his eyes, trying hard to look inside through the gaps in the venetian blinds.

Those wearing family kimonos were his own people... On the other side, in pure black high school uniforms, the black-haired one was Geto Suguru, the white-haired one was that Gojo Satoru guy... There seemed to be another figure beside him, but he couldn't see clearly.

Zenin Naoya wiped the fog from the window with his hand and looked again intently.

That person's navy blue sleeves were covered with strange symbols. Whether it was an optical illusion or not, Zenin Naoya seemed to see the ink-colored writing move a few times.

From his current angle, he basically couldn't see that person, only vaguely glimpsing an ancient book above the sleeves... That person couldn't be reading this during a Zenin family meeting, being so casual??

Zenin Naoya exhaled, his eye corners lifting.

When they came out, he would see what exactly that extra person was.

Inside the reception hall.

Actually, Jiang Lai was indeed staring at the book in his hands, which was looking at his phone.

This kind of meeting was really long and boring, Jiang Lai had no interest in listening further. Gojo Satoru beside him was already resting his chin on one hand supporting his head, his white eyelashes hadn't moved for a long time, probably already asleep.

Only Geto Suguru on the scene still maintained his squinting fox smile, seemingly seriously listening to the people across from them speaking one by one.

However, Jiang Lai felt that maybe Geto Suguru was also sleeping, because his eyes were too small and he was squinting and smiling, so you couldn't tell if they were open or closed (not).

His thoughts wandered for a second, then returned to the phone (book) in his hands.

Jiang Lai had just finished reading the official website update, which included content about Geto Suguru going to the classroom to get the letter. Like what was shown later on the field, what was pulled from the envelope was a sheet of white paper with scattered ink stains.

In the panels, the topknot teenager held that sheet of paper, remaining motionless for a long time before folding it up and putting it away. The camera focused on hand details, not showing Geto Suguru's expression at the time.

After that, the manga also depicted what happened on the field. Basically the same as what Jiang Lai experienced.

However, it didn't include the name [Komiyama Yu], only Jiang Lai's line [You're a bit like an acquaintance I had before].

Because the two worlds weren't connected, and world consciousness wouldn't let people discover the mutual observation between the two sides, related clues would be blurred.

Jiang Lai had already guessed this point, which was why he naturally blurted out Komiyama Yu's name at the time.

The official website manga continued updating until this Zenin family mission, ending with Jiang Lai's own costume change.

The color manga's rendering was especially powerful, fully displaying the eeriness of the silver-white gold-patterned fox mask and the mysterious feeling of the flowing ink-marked outer clothing!

This was the end of the update, but not the end of the panels. The last page was advertising, the latest released Jujutsu Kaisen Q-version character blind box merchandise, the most complete version with both original and new series characters!

Jiang Lai saw himself in it, the modern windbreaker image from the main story, probably taken from that outfit at the sukiyaki restaurant.

He even saw Yuikawa Kurisu... Indeed it was the most complete character version.

Finally, Jiang Lai's gaze fell on the blacked-out hidden edition silhouette.

For some reason, he inexplicably felt the outline was a bit familiar, especially the half-floating something extra beside it. It looked a bit like his own book (phone)...? Could the hidden edition be himself from the Yesterday's Past Days chapter?

Whatever, let's see if there are any clues on the forum first. Amid the buzzing narration of the Zenin family elders, he opened the new series' latest plot discussion thread.

【Geto's letter is so eerie... Woo woo, if someone I didn't know sent me a stained white paper, I'd be scared to death QAQ】

【Upstairs, to be precise, we don't know who the sender is. But from Geto's reaction, he should know, right? Blind guess it's a hint from the Regulatory Committee to Suguru, after all, in the new series, only this part of Geto Suguru's experience is very different.

Combined with his later question to Gojo Satoru "Do you think people should be ranked in different classes," I think this might reveal part of the Regulatory Committee's ideology.

Combined with what the previous intelligence booklet said about how missing people in society are largely related to the Regulatory Committee, is there a possibility: iris flowers are spread everywhere for surveillance, then conducting some kind of ranking evaluation under rules they've established, then performing some kind of operation.】

【!! Good point upstairs, when you put it that way, it seems possible? I don't know why, uh, I inexplicably get the feeling of pork quality assessment…】

【That doggy Yuikawa is also very suspicious, isn't he? That low-level green tea act made me so angry!! Geto almost held back that question again, good thing God Lai intervened】

【Although, but, the conversation between God Lai and Yuikawa was so funny hahaha, that part about "you're a bit like an acquaintance of mine, but he's already dead" was a threat, right hahaha!!

The series of rebuttals after that was so satisfying, God Lai protecting his white furry cat cub, threatening the neighboring green tea doggy, so good!】

【I feel Yuikawa's green tea act was fake... When he talked with God Lai later, there was a moment when he was normal.

Feels a bit like that kind of bad doggy who's passionate about performing, then takes pleasure in others' emotions, seems to have also set his sights on God Lai... a bit perverted.】

【That scene was really a bit horrifying, Yuikawa's eyes painted a reddish color under the light, completely different from his previous shy doggy feeling!】

【Cough, thinking about the unknown green tea "acquaintance" God Lai mentioned, plus the cursed spirits like Mahito and Sukuna He encountered before, that is to say, does God Lai, perhaps, attract perverts?】

【Reasonable, hitting the nail on the head. The more twisted perverts generally like this kind of deity at another extreme...

Divine Lord I love you!! prprpr hehe God Lai come to my house quickly! Let me be your doggy your kitty! Crazy completely crazy Monday through Sunday!】

【? Upstairs you, dying of laughter, the first half was still normal, how did the second half suddenly become crazy literature. See, God Lai attracts perverts hahaha】

【Woo woo, but God Lai is really so gentle, I really love the part where he walked and talked with Geto, really crying T^T... Suguru talk more with your friends! Growing through companionship and such】

【Speaking of which, the Zenin family in the new series also feels a bit strange, more extreme than the original. In modern society, they're still closing off their clan.】

【Agree plus one. But thanks to the Zenin family for letting me see monster costume Lai Lai... So beautiful I'm dying】

【Report, family! Someone in the neighboring thread drew the blind box hidden edition! It's this silver-masked gold-patterned fox mask God Lai!!

Ahh how did the official make it so fast?! Seems like they got One-Eyed Cat's update blueprints early!】

【Grass, the hidden edition was drawn so quickly? I'm rushing over…】

Reading to this point, Jiang Lai paused slightly, somewhat surprised about the hidden edition.

He had previously guessed from the half-floating book shadow that it was himself from the Yesterday's Past Days chapter, but didn't expect it to be this Zenin family monster costume appearance.

Jiang Lai: This was made too fast... Did the factory emergency process and overheat from overwork?

【Another report, what was drawn in the neighboring thread was the super hidden edition within the hidden edition!! The hidden edition itself is God Lai from Yesterday's Past Days, and this monster Lai, the official said they only made one in emergency production and released it!! Woo woo woo why am I not so lucky, I'm so envious ahhh】

Jiang Lai was stunned again for a second, then realized: Good guy, no wonder they could make it, turns out only one monster costume was released.

But this was too few, wonder which lucky audience member got this one.

The mental shift was only momentary, then he refocused his attention on several analysts in the forum.

The analysis about the Regulatory Committee mentioned there, Jiang Lai felt made some sense. Geto Suguru's strange letter very likely came from the Regulatory Committee.

And Geto Suguru's "ranking in different classes" question most likely also came from there.

Actually, Jiang Lai had momentarily wondered if the influencer was Yuikawa Kurisu, but immediately dismissed it. Because the current Geto Suguru hadn't experienced the Star Plasma Vessel incident yet, his thinking wasn't that easily swayed.

In terms of weight of words, what could make Geto Suguru question and fall into thought was probably only that iris flower organization that had taken charge of him since middle school.

Jiang Lai thought. What did they want to do by ranking people in different classes?

In any case, such ranking wasn't actually fair. His thoughts flowed. It was just personalized evaluation under their rules.

From this perspective, currently Geto Suguru should be the person who understood this organization most deeply. But he might not necessarily reveal what he knew.

On one hand, Geto Suguru was used to thinking by himself and rarely confided in others. On the other hand, there might be some restrictions preventing him from saying too much.

As Jiang Lai's thoughts flowed, a loud hammer sound from across the room suddenly pulled him out of his own world!

Gojo Satoru, who was sleeping soundly beside him, was also startled awake by this sound. His brows furrowed, eyelashes trembling before slowly lifting, revealing those extremely beautiful blue eyes from the side behind his sunglasses.

He lowered his hand with a large movement, "thunk" also hammering on the table, looking a bit cranky from being woken up.

The Zenin family person who had hammered across from them shrank back, instinctively explaining quietly: "That... hammering once after the meeting ends is traditional closing procedure."

Geto Suguru beside them raised his hand to gently press down Gojo Satoru, then looked up smiling: "Alright, then this meeting is officially over. Starting tomorrow, the training process for this mission begins."

"Thank you for your hard work." Family head Zenin Naobito nodded, "Someone will take you to the lodging quarters for these few days later."

"Good." Geto Suguru nodded, smoothly picking up the conversation. He stood up with everyone else, inconspicuously pulling the lazily sprawling Gojo Satoru who didn't want to move after just waking up.

Jiang Lai also stood up accordingly, maintaining his consistent silence.

When walking out of the meeting room, he glimpsed from the corner of his eye a figure in clothing different from the house servants. But due to the mask's vision limitations, plus people moving around, he couldn't see clearly who it was.

However, Jiang Lai didn't pay much attention. He was just instinctively observing and analyzing the surrounding environment.

Gojo Satoru walked out of the meeting room with a casual attitude, openly yawning as he walked forward. Geto Suguru had a slightly helpless smile on his face but didn't say much.

Jiang Lai floated quietly beside them, not communicating with them. He maintained his composure, keeping up the image of a mysterious great demon.

Although Jiang Lai was nominally a monster who had signed a contract with Gojo Satoru, the Zenin family still arranged a separate room for him.

Jiang Lai didn't need sleep. When night fell, he planned to go out for a stroll.

Logically, wandering around like this wasn't very polite, but Gojo Satoru said: Don't be polite to the Zenin family, politeness to others only limits your own happiness, just go for it!

Jiang Lai thought about it and felt it made sense. This trip was originally to gather intelligence and see if he could stumble upon secrets he shouldn't see. If so, then don't be modest.

Besides, his current mysterious great demon identity was convenient for wandering around.

After all, unknown powerful demons mostly had capricious personalities, not bound by rules, not limited by space, like a gust of wind, a wisp of mist, elusive.

So, when the bright moon hung on the branches, stars twinkled, and lights went out one after another, Jiang Lai leaped from his room's backyard onto the surrounding wall, using his technique to jump continuously in the air, reaching the roof of the ancient building.

It was now the dead of night.

His navy blue kimono perfectly blended with the darkness. Jiang Lai switched his silver-white fox mask to black-gold, merging with this night sky.

His footsteps were very light, walking on the rooftop with almost no sound. Using the advantage of relatively high ground, Jiang Lai's gaze wandered over the Zenin family.

Because the barrier was very complete, the Zenin family didn't set up too many guards, just customarily had people responsible for night patrols.

Jiang Lai wasn't restricted by barriers, so he only needed to avoid the night patrol people. They mostly walked obediently along designated routes, rarely looking up at the sky.

The Zenin family's buildings weren't all connected, some parts were quite far apart, requiring calculation of floating foothold points in between.

After continuously manipulating technique code air jumping, there was some slight fatigue. Jiang Lai temporarily landed in a relatively remote courtyard.

However, when his toes touched the ground, his gaze wandered and caught sight of a child's figure in his vision...

A dark green short-haired little girl was searching and feeling around for something on the ground. Noticing the suddenly intruding figure, she instinctively stiffened, looking over warily!

At this moment, Jiang Lai was also very surprised, because this building's exterior looked quite dilapidated, the courtyard overgrown with weeds, like an abandoned house or warehouse for storing useless things.

Jiang Lai thought there was no one here, so he temporarily landed here, not expecting there to be a young girl here.

Why wasn't she sleeping so late? What was she looking for? Many questions flashed through his mind in an instant, Jiang Lai stood steadily in place.

The dark green short-haired little girl pressed her lips straight. Although very young, her voice was very clear: "......Who are you?"

At this moment, the little girl, young Zenin Maki, was actually very nervous inside, just still trying hard to stay calm. Because her sister Zenin Mai was still sleeping in the house behind her.

Zenin Maki and Zenin Mai were twin sisters. After they were born, one had no cursed energy and couldn't see curses, the other had weak cursed energy and useless techniques.

They were seen as twin omens, discriminated against in this family that revered cursed energy and techniques and favored boys over girls.

Because of this, they both matured especially early. They had abilities and thinking that didn't belong to children their age.

After their mother died of illness, they lived in this relatively remote place. Every day they had to learn various etiquette norms or do various work that was very hard for children their age in the family.

Their mother had once given each of the sisters a bracelet, not very expensive things, but the cheap crystal glass beads carried memories of the past. They both usually wore them.

Before going to bed tonight, Zenin Mai suddenly realized the bracelet on her wrist was missing. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes. As the older sister, Maki had a hard time comforting her and coaxing her to sleep before searching and feeling around in the courtyard first.

If she couldn't find it... she'd look on the road tomorrow. Young Zenin Maki thought. Hopefully no one would treat it as garbage and sweep it away.

While she was bending down to search through the grass, another figure suddenly landed in the small courtyard, making her immediately tense up like a hedgehog raising its mental spikes.

When asked "Who are you," Jiang Lai didn't hurry to speak, nor did he make any extra movements, just put his hands together, the wide sleeves with talisman patterns naturally hanging down.

He was still observing the current situation.

His gaze swept over the ground. At this moment, clouds happened to drift apart, the moon brightly casting soft light, and something crystal-bright flashed in the grass, Jiang Lai keenly captured that spot.

......Was the thing in that place the object the girl was looking for?

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Jiang Lai stood in place, slightly raising his hand.

Just then, an evening breeze stirred. The clear wind blew through the treetops with rustling sounds, weeds swayed and prostrated toward the ground. Young Zenin Maki was blinded by the sudden evening wind's dust and sand, instinctively raising her hand to rub her eyes, physiological tears emerging.

Her heart was still a taut string. After simply rubbing her eyes, she quickly tried to open them, her still blurry vision looking toward that suddenly appearing figure...

Before her eyes, a beautiful crystal glass bracelet was gently floating.

"......?!"

Zenin Maki was stunned. She instinctively reached out her hand, and the bracelet settled steadily in her palm.

After pausing for a second, she suddenly looked up.

Under the moonlight, that distant figure wearing a black-gold fox mask disappeared into the night as silently as when it came.

Only a leaf blown down by the evening wind remained in place, gently swaying in her vision.
