Jujutsu Kaisen: My spells have no limit
Chapter 36 Layout
That night, in a mixed-use commercial and residential building in Ome Street, Shinjuku Ward.
Lin Yi sat on the balcony admiring the night view, with a glass of wine beside him.
His conversation with Xia Youjie during the day was still vivid in his mind, and now he was a little confused about his own position.
Based on his personality and his initial plan after learning he had come to the Jujutsu Kaisen world, he planned to honestly and quietly use his magic to make money in Tokyo, then abscond with the money back home the day before the Shibuya Incident, watch the main characters engage in a Nuo battle in Shinjuku, make another bet, and then live a peaceful life.
However, plans can't keep up with changes. First, he accidentally got entangled with Xia Youjie's camp, and then he found that even if he kept a low profile, he was still being watched by Lu Suo, a thousand-year-old sorcerer who was hiding somewhere. Now he has only barely shaken off Lu Suo's attention and is far from being out of danger.
The most direct approach in this situation is to simply run away and ignore all the mess here.
But Lin Yi felt that running away was a bit shameful, for some reason.
They've already transmigrated, possessed a localized cheat ability, and had the advantage of being a prophet, yet now they have to live timidly? Wasn't that a waste of their transmigration?
And they were tricked by Lu Suo, a thousand-year-old sorcerer, and they just let it go like that?
"Damn it, at least learn the Reversal Technique and Domain Expansion before running away, what's the point of this?"
Lin Yi found a reason to stay, then took out his phone and dialed a number from his limited contacts.
-----------------
Kabuki Street.
Gem Box Underground Tavern.
This place is a haven for people from all walks of life seeking pleasure, a place where all kinds of vices are prevalent.
As a well-known urban hunter and private detective in the Kabukicho area of Shinjuku, Lin Yi was already a regular here.
"Hey, Ichi-chan, no jobs to do today?"
"Yes, I was so busy recently, with one big order after another. Oh, this lady looks unfamiliar."
"Oh, this is Qin, she's new here."
"Really? Hello, Miss Qin. My name is Lin Yilang, and I'm a handsome and skilled city hunter. What time do you get off work?"
"Mr. Lin Yilang, the boss is waiting for you inside."
Upon hearing that the thug had so inconsiderately interrupted Lin Yi's conversation with the new bartender, Lin Yi had no choice but to put on a serious face, give the bartender a helpless smile, and then follow the thug to the bar's VIP lobby.
The VIP lobby, emptied of guests, was empty except for an elderly man in a wheelchair and a group of his underlings waiting for Lin Yi.
Upon seeing Lin Yi enter, the old man nodded to his deputy behind him, and the underlings in the hall also left on their own, leaving only Lin Yi and the old man sitting facing each other.
"You look much better now, Mr. Akutsu."
"Thank you, if it weren't for Ichiro's help, I would have lost more than just my legs by now."
"Don't say that. You've helped me a lot, old man. You helped me find a place to live and get a proper identity."
The old man who was talking to Lin Yi was named Akutsu Chojuro. He was the underground boss of the Kabukicho area. More than three months ago, Lin Yi had just landed and happened to encounter this old man who was being haunted by a cursed spirit. It was during that conflict that Lin Yi discovered that his cheat ability was the technique of polar reversal and realized that this was the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Through a series of public displays of virtue and a life-saving favor, Lin Yi gained a law firm, a legal identity, and a friendship with this old man.
The businesses he opened in the first three months were mostly introduced by this old man. He exorcised some cursed spirits and taught some foolish gangs a lesson, which made him famous in Shinjuku.
"Ichiro, you've helped me a lot, but this is the first time you've called me for help like this. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Old man, you have so many men under your command, could you help me find out something? Has anything strange or unusual happened in Tokyo recently, like the one I saved you that time?"
"Strange and unusual things happen in Tokyo every day, Ichiro, your scope is too broad."
"Hmm... schools, yes, narrow it down to schools. Find out which schools have had students mysteriously disappearing."
"That makes it much easier to find out, but Ichiro, you're not the kind of exorcist who would actively seek out these kinds of things."
"Well, there are some personal reasons, so I'd like to ask you for a favor, sir."
"Since it's Ichiro's request, I agree. You'll receive a message within three days."
"Three days? That's really efficient. I won't disturb your rest any longer, Grandpa."
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"No, a new female bartender has joined us, and I need to go chat with her."
"You can take her away."
"Well, that's no fun then. But sir, here's a little suggestion: next year, you could consider moving your business outside of Tokyo. Ideally, you should move out of Tokyo too. I think Kyoto Prefecture would be a good option."
"This isn't just a small suggestion, Ichiro. Is this your gut feeling?"
"It's not just a feeling, it's something that's very likely to happen, a big deal, after all, you've helped me a lot, sir."
"A year from now? I'll remember that."
As soon as Lin Yi left, he closed the door behind him and went straight to the bar to have a heart-to-heart talk with the new bartender.
Three days later, Lin Yi arrived at the gate of a primary school.
Early April is the perfect time to enjoy cherry blossoms.
Two cherry blossom trees at the entrance of the primary school are in full bloom, birds are chirping and insects are humming, and the spring sunshine makes for a rare and beautiful day.
But apart from birdsong and insect chirps, there was no sound from the school. The school gates were tightly closed, there was no bell, and no students reading aloud. The silence and deserted atmosphere added a touch of eeriness to the rare good weather.
Lin Yi took out the sunglasses that the sorcery academy had given him from his jacket and put them on, and his vision immediately became much clearer.
A dark blue magical energy surged from the teaching building, emanating an unsettling aura, but no signs of magical spirit activity were seen for the time being.
That's true. In broad daylight, those unranked, level four cursed spirits wouldn't be active. Those that dare to cause trouble in broad daylight are basically level three or higher cursed spirits.
The "tent" barrier technique is also quite helpful in attracting cursed spirits.
Lin Yi looked at the information provided by the old man Akutsu on his phone and muttered, "Hmm, two students have already gone missing. So this is the training ground where Gojo Satoru helped Otsuki Yuta adapt to the life of a sorcerer. Let me give you a hand, Otsuki Yuta. Speaking of which, I haven't tried using this barrier technique before."
Putting his phone back in his pocket, Lin Yi lightly leaped into the campus, strolled to the campus stadium, raised his right hand in the shape of a sword, and chanted an incantation.
"Born of darkness, from darkness to darkness, cleansing away all filth and defilement."
As Lin Yin chanted the incantation, the black, semi-transparent "tent" fell from above the elementary school, and the surrounding light dimmed, as if it were nighttime.
In front of Lin Yi, three white humanoid cursed spirits with similar appearances appeared.
