Chapter 213 : Six Eyes vs Cursed Spirit Manipulation
The closing ceremony of Wakkanai City's fireworks festival consisted of fireworks shooting into the sky simultaneously from around the entire venue.
Accompanied by deafening "bang bang" sounds, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky. The bright colors illuminated the smiling faces of people below as everyone cheered together, celebrating the end of this lively event.
Not far away, at the foot of the ice and snow-covered Mount Shichi, two figures stood facing each other in black and white. They were the prepared Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru.
Behind nearby trees, a brown curly-haired boy was poking his head out.
Little Sheep Jiang Lai was adjusting his phone equipment, using phone-kun's special properties and his own hacking skills to modify programs and create a special livestream room.
Ever since phone-kun got the disguise transformation upgrade, it could also capture cursed spirits and other things unique to the jujutsu world through its camera. Keeping up with the times, truly worthy of being the real protagonist phone-kun!
"I say, are we about done?" Gojo Satoru shook his wrist languidly. "Just standing here like this feels like being back to punishment standing during school days."
Geto Suguru interjected: "Did you ever properly follow through with punishment standing during school? Didn't you climb over the railing and slip away the moment Teacher Yaga turned his head every time?"
"Hey, there's still a kid here. Suguru, don't talk nonsense and corrupt the child." Gojo Satoru laughed it off in reply, then tilted his head slightly toward the fireworks festival. "Looks like it's over there."
Geto Suguru stood in place, glancing at the distant night sky that had become quiet after its brilliance. He understood that, as Gojo Satoru said, the fireworks festival had ended.
So it was time for their performance.
Geto Suguru removed his fortune teller's hood, his semi-long hair and sleeves swaying in the night wind. Snow fell around this Mount Shichi shrouded in the "ice and snow curse," ice crystals landing on his shoulders as he slightly raised his hand.
Gojo Satoru tucked one hand in his pocket, still wearing a half-smiling expression. But his back had already straightened, ready for battle.
He used one hand to pull off his blindfold and casually threw it to the side, tossing it to Jiang Lai.
"I'm leaving it to you."
Jiang Lai had been adjusting the optimal filming angle when the white-haired man suddenly threw the blindfold over. Unable to find a good position, he instinctively reached out his other hand to catch it:
"Wait, don't just throw it over suddenly. Give me some warning, what if I didn't catch it and it fell on the ground?"
Geto Suguru said calmly: "Just let it fall on the ground for Satoru. He's not short on these."
"How cruel, Suguru." Gojo Satoru grinned, pretending to complain. "I can't function without my blindfold, unless there are tons of sweets. Is Suguru offering to treat me? Perfect, you still owe me several meals."
"Don't randomly misinterpret what people mean, Satoru. By the way, about owing meals, clearly you owe me more."
"We can start now." Little Sheep Jiang Lai spoke up. He had finally adjusted the optimal filming angle, positioned himself properly, and entered standby mode. "I'm ready."
The moment Jiang Lai's words fell, the atmosphere around both Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru changed accordingly.
They both withdrew their earlier playful expressions and quickly entered serious acting mode, integrating into their script very smoothly.
At this moment, Jiang Lai opened his livestream room.
On the other side.
Nanami Kento, who had just finished executing a mission, was organizing materials in the school office with his friend Haibara Yu.
Mainly Nanami Kento was organizing paper files while Haibara Yu assisted beside him.
After filing a round of materials, both Nanami Kento's and Haibara Yu's phones simultaneously chimed with notifications. Because they were jujutsu sorcerers, to receive messages promptly, they usually didn't set their phones to silent.
"Oh, it's an email from Mei Mei-san." Haibara Yu picked up his phone first to look, exclaiming in surprise.
"Mei Mei-san?" Nanami Kento was equally surprised.
Mei Mei was a Grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer in the jujutsu world who couldn't get interested in anything besides money, someone who worked for pay.
Because of this, she had many special channels of her own, one of which was controlling most jujutsu sorcerers' private information in the jujutsu world, allowing rapid contact.
However, logically, she wouldn't contact others without reason. Had something special happened?
While Nanami Kento was thinking, Haibara Yu had already opened that email. His voice was puzzled: "It's a link? Mei Mei-san's email says this is a livestream room link, and the livestream content is... a showdown between Six Eyes and Cursed Spirit Manipulation?!"
At the end, Haibara Yu's tone shot up rapidly, filled with disbelief.
"What?!" Nanami Kento was equally stunned.
The reason Mei Mei sent the email was naturally because Little Sheep Jiang Lai had contacted her in advance.
Little Sheep Jiang Lai didn't have that many channels himself, and logically shouldn't have too many channels, so he simply contacted Mei Mei.
Mei Mei had no intention of hiding her personal information. A simple online search could find her contact information and rules like fee negotiations, so Jiang Lai could contact her directly.
This way, Jiang Lai only needed to create the livestream room, then pay some money to have Mei Mei help with promotion and organization.
Money-first Mei Mei naturally smelled the business opportunity in this livestream content, so she happily agreed to cooperate.
At this moment, Nanami Kento, shocked by the news in Haibara Yu's words, immediately opened his phone and clicked on that email from Mei Mei, quickly scanning it from top to bottom.
Mei Mei wasn't someone who used complex language. She could be concise when possible, unless more words could yield greater monetary benefits.
Therefore, this email didn't reveal much information, only providing the livestream room link and identifying what the livestream room was broadcasting.
Perhaps this kind of concise description was also a marketing tactic. At least Nanami Kento's heart jumped dramatically.
He knew Mei Mei was a legitimate businesswoman who wouldn't engage in fraud, so this livestream room description must be fact.
...But why would Gojo-senpai and Geto-senpai fight? And who exactly was livestreaming?
Inexplicably, the image of a brown-haired boy appeared in Nanami Kento's mind.
Because he knew that this trip, Gojo Satoru had brought Watanabe along, so Little Sheep must be right beside the two.
Given Watanabe's personality... he might actually livestream from the sidelines. But this was far too dangerous!
He hoped Gojo-san would sensibly drive Watanabe away, and that Watanabe would obediently stay far away.
As thoughts flashed through Nanami Kento's mind, his hand quickly clicked that link.
The screen smoothly jumped to a new page. After a second of flashing images, the page went black while a white popup appeared.
【Pay only 200,000 yen to unlock continued viewing privileges. High-definition 360-degree live coverage, an unmissable spectacular scene!】
This was naturally a program Jiang Lai had set up, also the result of consultation with Mei Mei-san.
Such dangerous livestreaming couldn't possibly be free. Paid viewing was perfectly reasonable!
When Jiang Lai was setting the price, he thought for a moment and decided to price it at 200,000 yen (approximately 10,000 yuan).
Jujutsu sorcerers generally had high salaries, so this price was actually quite reasonable. You know, the jujutsu world had many expensive cursed tools that jujutsu sorcerers would readily pay for.
Moreover, Jiang Lai's main target audience was the jujutsu higher-ups and the Big Three Families. These people weren't short on money at all. Pulling out 200,000 yen was like sprinkling water, so of course he should squeeze more money out of them when possible.
Now, facing the payment popup, Nanami Kento fell silent for a second. For a moment, his hand paused, not knowing what to say.
But his hesitation lasted only half a second. After all, this pricing wasn't expensive, so Nanami Kento quickly paid the entrance fee following the prompts.
After the screen flashed, clear images reappeared.
The livestream initially showed two black and white figures from a distance, then zoomed in closer. The excellent photography and audio equipment made the images very high-definition while the sound was exceptionally clear.
On screen, Geto Suguru's cheeks wore an unclear smile, his expression mixed with numbness and madness. He shook his gold-patterned sleeves, and massive terrifying cursed spirits suddenly appeared behind him.
He stood on the cursed spirit's body, looking down at the ground.
On the ground, Gojo Satoru remained incredibly calm, only those exposed blue eyes condensing ice-like emotions.
He lifted his pure white eyelashes slightly, a smile without warmth appearing: "Hi, Suguru. Standing that high won't help. You'll still get knocked down by me~"
"As arrogant as always, Satoru." Geto Suguru said slowly, his squinting fox eyes opening. "Don't be too self-important. That could backfire on you."
Neither spoke quickly, and there weren't even particularly aggressive words, but the smell of gunpowder mixed within had already transmitted through the screen.
Nanami Kento's hand tightened slightly. He frowned, staring intently at the situation on screen, seeing that both had assumed serious battle stances.
"...Are Gojo-senpai and Geto-senpai really going to fight? But they..." Haibara Yu hesitated, not finishing his sentence. The usually energetic dog-like young man rarely felt dejected. "I don't want to see the two senpai fight."
"Will this battle definitely happen?" Haibara Yu asked.
"This battle will definitely happen." Nanami Kento answered calmly.
"They were once close friends, but now they have different aspirations and can't work together." Nanami Kento sighed. "The peace between them these years might also be because they've been avoiding each other."
"Now that they've encountered each other, all those suppressed, unresolved, angry, and sorrowful emotions will surge out at once, clashing and colliding. They probably won't calm down easily."
Unlike his calm expression, Nanami Kento's heart hung high while also worrying about the brown-haired boy outside the battlefield.
His gaze returned to the screen, watching this momentous battle about to unfold. Even his breathing became lighter.
Every jujutsu sorcerer on this land who received the email felt similar to Nanami Kento at this moment.
Their eyes were glued to the livestreaming screen, their minds in chaos while their hearts pounded.
At this tense moment, the screen suddenly went black again, popping up a new uncloseable window.

Nanami Kento: "......"
Why do these popups keep appearing one after another?!
On the other side, Little Sheep Jiang Lai: We unscrupulous merchants are like this.jpg
