Chapter 214 : Livestream Magic Show ()
With such an important situation at hand, Nanami Kento didn't have time to think too much. He swiftly paid for a betting chip and randomly placed it on Gojo Satoru.
After paying again, the popup finally disappeared and the black screen returned to clear livestream images.
He didn't know what had happened just now, but somehow Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru were already fighting. The entire mountain forest shook endlessly as startled flocks of birds cried out and took wing.
The camera, after the earlier zoom-in, had now pulled back to normal filming distance.
"Hello everyone, this is your lovely and adorable streamer. You can call me Baa-baa-chan~" A cheerful young voice suddenly appeared in the livestream. "If you have any questions or anything you'd like to see, feel free to leave comments in the chat~ If I see them, I'll answer."
Hearing this voice, Nanami Kento shuddered. He instantly realized this was Watanabe's voice!
In other words, the person currently livestreaming Gojo-senpai and Geto-senpai's fight, positioned dangerously at the edge of the battlefield, was Watanabe Mirai!
The next second, the smiling brown-haired boy appearing on camera confirmed Nanami Kento's thoughts.
Nanami Kento couldn't help but want to immediately exit the livestream and call Little Sheep with reminders, but then realized that perhaps the other party had already blocked phone calls and voice messages to avoid interference during the livestream.
...Then the only way to contact Watanabe might be through this livestream room.
Nanami Kento's gaze fell on the chat message input box below.
He paused, then typed in it anyway, planning to directly remind Watanabe through chat to keep his distance from the battlefield and avoid being accidentally injured by this high-risk cursed energy collision.
However, when he pressed send, another payment popup appeared.
[Send one chat message: 20,000 yen required]
Nanami Kento: "......"
There are still more popups, payment items everywhere!
Little Sheep Jiang Lai: We unscrupulous merchants are like this ×2.jpg
Actually, Little Sheep Jiang Lai set up this paid chat program not just to earn a little more money, but also to raise the chat threshold, filter out ineffective messages, and precisely target specific groups.
20,000 yen converted to yuan was about 1,000 yuan. Most ordinary jujutsu sorcerers wouldn't specifically pay to send chat messages asking questions, after all, it was meaningless. They mostly just wanted to watch the excitement.
Those who would pay for anonymous chat inquiries in the livestream were most likely higher-ups, the Big Three Families, and some jujutsu sorcerers or curse users with relatively high status and position. They wanted to obtain more intelligence, so they inevitably asked more questions.
This chat appeared anonymous on the surface, but actually, since this was a program Jiang Lai set up, he could trace the precise addresses of chat senders afterward, thus determining who asked which questions.
Through chat inquiries in the livestream, Jiang Lai could also secretly grasp the movements of some key figure groups. So this program setup was necessary.
By the way, answering chat questions in the livestream could also make the script more complete, achieving the effect of checking for omissions and filling gaps.
However, what slightly surprised Jiang Lai was that the first chat message in the livestream room was actually:
[Are you close to the scene now? Stay a bit farther away, their battle is dangerous.]
Such a message, without needing to check through the backend, Jiang Lai could sense came from someone close to him. Was it Nanami? It should be Nanami.
Jiang Lai accurately guessed the chat sender. His heart warmed, but he didn't show it on his face.
He answered naturally as usual, still focusing the topic on the livestream: "Not too far, not too close, just right. Don't worry, the livestream won't be interrupted. I'm a reliable war correspondent~"
With the first chat message as a starter, subsequent messages gradually increased.
[Who created this livestream room? How did they catch up to Six Eyes and Cursed Spirit Manipulation's battle so quickly?]
A very sharp question, directly questioning from the details. But Jiang Lai wasn't nervous. He had already prepared his wording, waiting to make this script more realistic by answering chat questions.
So he said with a rising tone: "Of course it was made by me, this little genius!"
"This time following Teacher Gojo out for training, I was already prepared to see the big world and earn small money, so I prepared the livestream room in advance, waiting for something to happen. Heaven rewards the diligent, and I really got a big scene for the livestream room to shine~!"
Little Sheep Jiang Lai's words were full of childishness, even somewhat worth complaining about. But precisely because he was still a teenager, his unguarded appearance was incredibly realistic.
"Oh, by the way, if any of you have programming-related tasks, feel free to contact me. Fair prices for all ages, equally expensive. No small money, no service~"
[How did they meet and start fighting?]
This question was also very good. If handled carelessly, it could easily expose logical problems.
In such a short time, there wasn't enough time to work out very detailed verbal scripts. So Jiang Lai simply didn't plan to answer in detail.
After all, the three of them hadn't scripted much verbal sparring. Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru just wanted to take this opportunity to fight. There was no need to be too detailed here. He could reasonably skip it by leveraging his teenage shell advantage.
So Little Sheep Jiang Lai tilted his head, looking like he was recalling, then answered: "We accidentally met at the fireworks festival."
"That dark person also brought dark cursed spirits, looking like he was going to attack here. Looked pretty scary, but Teacher Gojo stopped him."
"They said a lot beforehand, but I didn't listen at all, couldn't understand much. Seemed like something about ideals and righteousness~ At the time I only saw their tension getting heavier, so I was busy contacting Mei Mei-san, preparing for this livestream event."
[Where is this? I haven't heard of any cities in Japan with snow today.]
This was also very observant. Jiang Lai was happy someone asked this question. It was perfect for giving their location so relevant parties could come clean up the aftermath promptly.
"We're in Wakkanai City on Hokkaido island, a super northern city. There's indeed no snow here, but this mountain area is very strange, always snowing. They say it's some ice and snow curse."
Little Sheep Jiang Lai spread his palm to catch a snowflake, his dark eyes bright and childlike: "Did the fireworks festival's fireworks shatter the clouds here?"
In the livestream room, the battle between the two distant figures grew increasingly intense. Battles between the strong usually didn't have many fancy effects, but were real killing power.
The battle special effects weren't necessarily pretty, but the destructive effects were absolutely stunning.
Fortunately, due to the "ice and snow curse," there were no residential buildings near Mount Shichi, otherwise they couldn't fight so freely.
[This intensity... did they put up a 'Veil'? I don't see the outline of a 'Veil.']
Good question, really a good question.
Little Sheep Jiang Lai blinked: "With them fighting like this, do you think anyone would put up a [Veil]?"
"As for me, I can't! Even if I could, do you think a [Veil] I put up could possibly contain these two fighting?"
"So I simply changed methods, livestreaming for everyone so relevant personnel can quickly come here to handle things~"
The higher-ups watching this were about to spit blood.
Through the previous chat messages and answers, they had already determined this was Wakkanai City's Mount Shichi, the location the Supervisory Committee had specifically instructed to cover up any incidents. Supposedly something was hidden there.
Now with such widespread livestreaming, if anything exposed the hidden object, what was left to hide, how could they hide it!
Moreover, Six Eyes and Cursed Spirit Manipulation hadn't put up a [Veil], so the commotion would be huge, making aftermath handling especially troublesome! They would have to spend effort figuring out how to explain this to ordinary society, leaving no energy to pursue more.
Actually, this was also one of Jiang Lai's purposes in finally deciding not to put up a [Veil]. Giving the higher-ups one more thing meant they'd have one less bit of energy to cause trouble.
At this time, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's battle entered a white-hot phase. But both were fighting fiercely on the surface, especially fiercely on camera, while actually restraining themselves to some degree, not bombing everything to ruins.
After all, Kuroi Misato might be slumbering here. If they really fought recklessly, they could easily injure her.
So while fighting, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru released part of their cursed energy to sense other cursed energy fluctuations in this area.
Finally, during a brief pause in battle, they sensed relatively concentrated cursed energy somewhere under the side peak!
Suspended in mid-air at some distance apart, they seemed to casually make eye contact. Years of understanding already let them know each other's thoughts in this brief instant.
Geto Suguru leaped up, adjusting position in mid-air to land conveniently beside the side peak. Gojo Satoru gathered cursed energy at his fingertips and flicked a [Red] toward Geto Suguru's direction!
Geto Suguru also acted unyielding, summoning a cursed spirit with a giant mouth to crash into that [Red]!
With a thunderous roar, the side peak's summit was directly blown apart, while that charging cursed spirit happened to absorb most of the debris and shockwave. Though the scene looked heavily damaged, it actually didn't cause particularly severe harm to what was below.
After the trembling, as dust settled, the blasted and split side peak revealed extremely cold ice crystals within.
And within the ice crystals, a black-haired woman lay quietly with hands folded across her chest.
It was Kuroi Misato.
Their speculation was correct!
Most people didn't recognize Kuroi Misato, but those who knew about the spectacular Star Plasma Vessel incident back then mostly knew about Star Plasma Vessel Amanai Riko's guardian, Kuroi Misato.
Regardless, whether they recognized Kuroi Misato or not, the fact that a person was hidden here was extremely significant information.
The clear camera naturally captured this scene as well. Faced with this sudden development, the entire livestream room fell into shock!
