Jujutsu Kaisen: My spells have no limit

People come and go on the streets of Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Lin Yi weaved through the crowd, holding a photo of a girl in cosplay, and asked at shops in Shinjuku that hired cosplayers to help attract customers if they had seen the girl in the photo.

This was his commission: to find a young girl who had mysteriously disappeared while searching for a friend.

Because the incident occurred in Shinjuku Ward, where he lives, Lin Yi is currently considered a powerful figure who has crossed over into Shinjuku Ward and is quite familiar with the rules of the Kabukicho area.

I thought it was a simple commission task where I could earn a little money and maybe even have a little fling with the beautiful lady who commissioned me.

Despite a thorough search, they still found nothing.

"Mr. Ichiro, we do legitimate business here, we don't do this kind of thing. You've come to the wrong place."

Lin Yi ran into a brick wall at a shop with yakuza ties, and returned to his residence dejectedly. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Suda Manami, Xia Youjie's beautiful secretary, waiting for him in his room.

"Are you guys being rude? If the owner isn't home, just wait patiently at the door or come back another time."

"Mr. Ichiro, it was Lord Natsuyu who asked me to come and find you."

Lin Yi frowned upon hearing Suda Manami mention Xia Youjie.

Is Xia Youjie already preparing to target the students at the Spellcasting Academy? Has that pure love war god, Yi Gu You Tai, enrolled yet?

Based on the plot he knew, the only thing Lin Yi could think of was this incident. He sat down at his desk and gestured for the other person to continue.

Without saying much, Suda Manami placed a document in front of Lin Yi. Lin Yi picked it up, glanced at it, and smiled.

It wasn't what he thought. Xia Youjie wasn't planning to target the sorcery expert. Instead, a foreign church called the Yusheng Society was competing with the Panxing Sect, led by Xia Youjie, for followers.

Japan is a place with a bunch of miscellaneous sects, and with cursed spirits everywhere and curses rampant, these sects are much more developed than in their original world. Each sect has a sorcerer or curse master backing it up to some extent.

Seeing that Lin Yi was interested, Suda Manami handed over her phone, which she had used to call Xia Youjie. Lin Yi took it, and Xia Youjie's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Ichi-chan~ According to the 'bond' we formed, I have to order you around."

"As the leader of the Panxing Cult, dedicated to creating an era for sorcerers, how could you care about a sect founded by ordinary people competing with you for followers?"

"If they are cursed, I am indeed quite concerned."

"Go on, I'm listening."

Lin sat up straight; he was indeed intrigued.

"No, no, I'll leave this intelligence gathering to you, Ichi-chan. Oh, and if you find any good spirits, Ichi-chan, remember to pack them up and take them with you. Manami will help you, please."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi looked at the phone and handed it back with a somewhat helpless expression.

After glancing at Suda Manami, who was waiting for Lin Yi to leave, he got up and went back to his room.

"Mr. Hayashi Ichiro, aren't we leaving now?"

"What's the rush? It's not good to do things in broad daylight. Anyway, the address is written down. We can do it tonight. I'm going to take a nap. Ms. Manami, please do as you please. Remember to close the door when you leave. Let's meet near this building at eight o'clock tonight."

Lin Yi ignored the other person's urging and went back to his room to sleep.

Manami Suda was left speechless, staring at the enormous room.

That night, on the rooftop of a building in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo.

Feeling the night breeze blowing from the rooftop, Lin Yi wrapped his trench coat tighter around himself. Looking at Suda Manami, who was already waiting for him, he teased, "How interesting, do you all like to meet on rooftops?"

"Please don't change the subject. Focus on the task that Lord Natsume has given you, Mr. Hayashi Ichiro."

"I know, I know, it won't waste much of your time."

Lin Yi gave a perfunctory reply, then proactively activated the spell technique "Two-Level Reversal" in his sorcerer form. A tactical telescope materialized under Lin Yi's spell power and was held in his hand to observe the Lori Group building not far away.

This was one of the targets that Xia Youjie had asked him to investigate.

A cult from Central America called the Society of Life and Death has a collaboration with a Japanese group called Lori. The collaboration seems to involve researching how to reliably generate cursed spirits from ordinary people who only possess cursed power but lack spells and are unable to use their cursed power.

This period seems to have attracted a lot of wealthy and powerful investors, who have been covering for them by allowing them to arrest people on the streets of Tokyo for experiments.

No wonder it piqued Xia Youjie's interest; but surely the Japanese sorcery community has noticed something like this before?

According to information provided by Xia Youjie, the entire country of Japan is actually enveloped in a huge barrier spell. This barrier spell makes Japan a vortex of magical power in the world, which is why Japan has produced a great number of magical spirits and sorcerers for thousands of years, and also gave birth to Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer in modern times.

Lin Yi observed the situation of the building opposite through the tactical telescope he had built, while also thinking about these issues.

Just as Lin Yi was wondering, he also noticed two black Toyota cars parked outside the Lori Group building, and the people who got out of the cars were also familiar to Lin Yi, the staff of Tokyo Spellcasting Academy.

When Lin Yi saw a silver-haired woman among the Tokyo Spellcasting Academy personnel getting out of the car, his heart skipped a beat.

The tactical binoculars in his hand instantly dissipated into magical energy, and he decisively switched back to his disguise form, grabbing Suda Manami beside him and running into the stairwell without saying a word.

"Hey, what are you doing, Mr. Hayashi Ichiro?"

"A specialist in sorcery has arrived."

Manami Suda was taken aback at first, then said, "Isn't it normal for the people from Tokyo Jujutsu High School to notice? The 'bond' that Lord Natsuyu formed with you doesn't say that you can't have a conflict with the people from Jujutsu High School. It just means that you can refuse Lord Natsuyu's order to kill the people from Jujutsu High School."

"I know the contents of 'binding' better than you do, and I don't intend to refuse this mission. Just don't come with me. Go back to your territory right now, don't use your magic, just act like an ordinary person. I don't want someone with advanced magic to notice you and get involved with me."

Lin Yi said irritably that the reason he took Suda Manami to hide immediately was because of the silver-haired woman he saw through the tactical binoculars.

The opponent is a level one sorcerer whose spell is called Blackbird Manipulation. He can share the entire map's vision through the crows he controls, and if necessary, he can sacrifice the crows' lives to make the small amount of magical power on the crows explode and turn them into a self-destruct bomb to attack the opponent.

Without knowing whether the other side had released birds as scouts, Lin Yi could only hide for now and consider how to intervene once they made their move.

"Heh, you're quite cautious, Mr. Lin Yilang. In that case, I won't disturb you any longer. Lord Xiayou and I await your good news."

Manami Suda praised Lin Yi's caution with a hint of sarcasm, and did not refuse his suggestion, before gracefully leaving.

Lin Yi didn't care. After confirming that the supervisor, Manami Suda, had left, he tidied himself up in the stairwell. After making sure that his disguise was intact, he pushed open the door again, pretending to be a corporate slave who was exhausted from working overtime and taking a break on the rooftop.

That way, even if I enter the bird's field of vision released by that level one sorcerer, the other party won't pay too much attention to me.

Downstairs at the Lori Group building, the three first-year students of the Jujutsu High School, who had been assigned the extracurricular exorcism of cursed spirits by Gojo Satoru, also gazed at the brightly lit skyscraper in front of them.

"Mr. Ijichi, is it alright for us to barge in so openly?"

Zenin Maki, carrying a long naginata, spoke casually, seemingly ready to charge in and wreak havoc as soon as assistant director Kiyotaka Ijichi said it was okay.

"Yes, the spellcasting oversight has confirmed that there are large-scale spellcasting experiments here. Therefore, this operation will mainly be led by Mr. Nanami Kento, Mr. Ino Takuma, and Ms. Meimei. You are responsible for eliminating the weak spellcasting spirits in the building. All the relevant personnel in the building are involved, so there is no need to worry about harming innocent people."

"Alright! Let's see who kills more cursed spirits!"

"Maki is full of energy!"

"Mentaiko."

Panda and another student dog, Chikuro, echoed Zenin Maki's battle-crazed remarks.

But before they could even enter the building, Nanami Kento, a first-level sorcerer who had returned to the Sorcery Academy, was already ahead of them, accompanied by Ino Takuma, a second-level sorcerer, and the silver-haired woman, Mingming, a first-level sorcerer, whom Lin Yi had just seen through the tactical binoculars.

"You are the second team. You will be allowed to enter only after we confirm that there is no mortal danger inside the building."

"Huh? Mr. Nanami, are you going to eat alone?!"

"No, because I am an adult and you are still students, Ijichi, put down the 'tent'."

"Yes, born of darkness, darkness within darkness, cleansing away all filth and defilement."

As the assistant supervisor, Ijichi Kiyotaka, chanted the incantation, a semi-transparent black veil with a radius of fifty meters was cast upside down around the building, isolating the inside from the outside.

Three sorcerers, led by Nanami Kento, entered the building first, leaving only Zenin Maki, Panda, and Inu-maki Thorn, three first-year students of the sorcery academy, and assistant supervisor Iji Chiki, waiting in the high ground.

Lin Yi stood on the rooftop, looking at the barrier that was only a few dozen meters away from him, a smile on his lips.

His body surged with magical power, and he leaped off the rooftop.
