Jujutsu Kaisen: My spells have no limit

That night, in an office building in Tokyo.

Lin Yi sat to the side, watching a little kid who looked to be in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school directing a group of adults to post messages on the computer.

The little devil is exquisitely beautiful, with silver hair just like Mingming's. This little devil is called Youyou, and he is Mingming's younger brother. The relationship between the two siblings is a bit incestuous.

However, Lin Yi didn't pay attention to that. He just went up to a staff member's computer and looked at the messages the staff member posted online.

The world of sorcerers is neither too big nor too small, and it is mostly concentrated in Japan. Although there are sorcerers overseas, there are only a handful, and they don't form a significant force. If they encounter a difficult-to-deal-with cursed spirit, they have to seek help from the Japanese sorcerer community.

As semi-employed individuals, the siblings Mingming and Youyou essentially took on most of the overseas business for the Japanese sorcery industry.

Any requests for assistance from overseas to the Japanese sorcery community are forwarded to the siblings, Yuu and Yuu, for them to handle. Naturally, within the sorcery circle, the influence cultivated by this brother and sister has the widest network of connections, enabling them to reach sorcery communities around the world.

"Huh? The odds for me are set so low? Only 1:3.5 for a straight win?"

Looking at the betting odds being prepared on the computer, Lin Yi was quite annoyed.

"Mr. Ichiro, apart from Gojo Satoru, no one can directly predict which side will win in a battle between two top-level sorcerers. Techniques and domains are the key to victory or defeat, so Xia Youjie's odds are not high, 1:3."

"I can understand why Xia Youjie's odds aren't high. He was rated as a Special Grade expert around the same time as Wu Tiao Wu, and his techniques have already been made public. But my odds are so low, kid, if you're going to be the bookmaker, don't bother. Whoever wins or loses, the bookmaker still makes money, right?"

Lin Yi rubbed his chin, not fooled by Youyou's words.

"That's what we say, but the website isn't open yet, so the odds are negotiable. If Mr. Ichiro can reveal some inside information, the odds can be adjusted accordingly."

"What kind of inside information? My technique?"

"Mr. Ichiro understands very well."

"Let's discuss this after you find Xia Youjie."

Lin Yi kept everyone in suspense. Although revealing spells was common practice in the battles between sorcerers, for Lin Yi, it was better to delay revealing some of his trump cards. Otherwise, he would end up like Gojo Satoru, who had a series of moves arranged by Rōsō, from his personality to his spells, and sent him to the dark room.

Meanwhile, at the High School of Spellcasting, Principal Masamichi Yamo sat in his room, gazing at the flickering firelight before him.

A sudden gust of wind blew in, almost extinguishing the candlelight, and another person appeared in the room.

"Did you come here as soon as you finished the task assigned to you by the higher-ups, Wu?"

"Haha, it's not finished, Principal."

"Didn't finish? It's rare for you to have a task you can't complete. What happened?"

"It's 'residue,' what the auxiliary monitoring system detected was just the remnant left behind by that cursed spirit after it transformed from its cursed embryo. It's remnant that can directly affect the human body and modify the surrounding environment. That cursed spirit is undoubtedly a top-tier one. I've already had Ichiji report the specifics to those old guys at the higher-ups."

"The whistle is already handling the aftermath over there. Principal, you were waiting for me, weren't you?"

"Hmm, about the summer oil..."

"I know it all, Jay, Ichi-chan, I know everything."

"So what are your thoughts?"

Even Gojo Satoru, who had just been beaming with energy, fell silent when this question was posed.

After a long silence, Gojo Satoru gave his answer.

"Actually, Principal, you know in your heart, right, Jay? He's never coming back."

Night Moth remained silent, knowing the answer perfectly well, which was why he didn't immediately accept Lin Yi's cooperation proposal during the day.

Emotionally, he did have that hope, hoping that Xia Youjie could turn back, but rationally, he also knew that Xia Youjie only had two paths to take: either go crazy until his dream came true, or die.

"so?"

"As his close friend, I will go to see him off on his final journey."

"So your inclination is to cooperate with this Lin Yilang. If he can kill Xia You, you plan to recommend him to replace Xia You as the fourth Special Grade?"

"I do have that idea. As a sorcerer, Ichi-chan seems to be more normal than the rest of us. And if we want to replace those old guys in the sorcery world, besides training students who can inherit my dream, it would be good to have more helpers like Ichi-chan in the decision-making level."

"Then you can take care of it."

"OK!"

After returning from Fukushima Prefecture, Gojo Satoru did not rush to report to the higher-ups in the jutsu world after finishing his discussion. Instead, he clapped his hands and teleported away from the Jutsu High School.

Late at night, in the dim light of the office building where Youyou and her brother lived.

Looking at the website on the computer screen, which was an internal network for sorcerers worldwide, Lin Yi thought of the Shinjuku battle arc in the original work.

At that time, Mingming also used his own technique, Black Bird Manipulation Technique, as a camera to broadcast the battle between Gojo Satoru and Sukuna to sorcerers all over the world, making a fortune in this decisive battle by opening betting odds.

Is what I'm doing now a rehearsal for the final battle in Shinjuku?

Lost in thought, footsteps echoed down the corridor.

"Is the matter finished?"

"No, not at all. But Ichi-chan, you really do mess around."

"It's not exactly reckless, but things have already taken a turn for the worst. If he listens to advice, we have a chance to nip the danger in the bud, but if he continues to act crazy, do you want to see something terrible happen?"

"It sounds like you two are hiding some secret."

Aside from the money-grubbing sorcerer Mingming, the only other person who could be here at this time is Gojo Satoru.

Hearing Lin Yi and Wu Tiao Wu speaking in riddles, Mingming couldn't help but feel curious.

"That's not your concern, Ms. Mingming. Just focus on being a good bookmaker: find people, open the market, and collect the money."

"I've already released my crow. If Xia Youjie is still in Japan, I think I'll get news soon."

At this moment, Mingming tied her long silver hair into two large braids, one in front and one behind, to cover half of her face, so that she could share the view with the crows that had been released.

Just when Lin Yi thought it would take several days to find Xia Youjie, the little devil Youyou walked in with a tablet computer.

"Sister, look at this. Someone posted a photo on the sorcerer's network."

"Oh dear, it seems Mr. Hayashi Ichiro, you can prepare to set off now."

"You can pinpoint Xia Youjie's whereabouts based on just one photograph?"

"Of course, Ichijō, that's where Jay fell into depravity."
