I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

Old Eight raised his eyelids and said, "Aren't you just people? Besides, how many people who come here are really here for convenience?"

Shinji thought about it and agreed.

The form is not important; what matters is the content.

Otherwise, even if a palace were built up there, no one would come.

"You don't seem surprised at all to see us back?"

Old Eight thought to himself, "How could I not be surprised!"

It's just that he received the news earlier and was already overwhelmed with surprise.

He hadn't expected that Shinji and his companions would actually deal with the monsters entrenched in Black Mountain so decisively.

Several Jonin have already been lost there, which shows just how dangerous it is!

However, he wouldn't say these things. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Even the demon god Akagi has personally taken action. Dealing with a mere Black Mountain is a piece of cake. What's so surprising about that?"

"That was a good flattery, subtle and effective. I like it. Keep it up next time."

Shinji laughed heartily and patted the other person on the shoulder.

Old Eight didn't mind, and instead revealed his mercenary nature as a businessman, "At this point, bring out the good stuff. Surely the mighty Ghost God Akagi wouldn't come all this way just to play tricks on an old man like me."

Shinji really wanted to tease him, since this guy wasn't as nice as he is now back then.

But after smacking his lips a couple of times, he felt that arguing with an old man was really pointless.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. Name a good price, and it's yours."

As Shinji spoke, he reached into a small pouch at his waist and pulled out a corpse.

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you would find it hard to imagine how such a large corpse could be stuffed into such a small wallet and then easily taken out.

"Is this the culprit behind the Black Mountain incident?"

"What, doesn't it look like it?"

"No, it's just that it's very different from what I imagined, which is a bit disappointing."

"Stop pretending. Someone who spends all his time with corpses and big-shot robbers is trying to imitate others and make a fool of himself. Sighing and lamenting? I think it's just being pretentious!"

After being insulted, Lao Ba could only manage a wry smile, not daring to retaliate in the slightest.

Even if he does have a temper, it depends on the person.

Clearly, the demon Akagi before him was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

Even if you kill him, the forces behind him won't turn against him just because of someone as insignificant as him.

Instead, they will try to mitigate the impact and rebuild cooperative relationships.

Therefore, the form of things always follows the people; whoever is stronger is the boss and has the right to speak!

"Please wait a moment, I need to send this to the back for authentication. It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm just following procedure."

Old Ba spoke very sincerely, explaining that he had no choice but to play the subservient role, as he wanted to close the deal but was afraid of being scammed and didn't want to make enemies.

Seeing this, Shinji finally felt he had vented his anger and said with a smile, "Don't be like that, Eighth Brother. I still admire the unruly you."

Old Eight thought to himself, "Do you think I can still be arrogant in front of you?!"

"Hehe, so what do you think about this matter..."

"Alright, go ahead and inspect. But let me make this clear: if you try anything funny, this time it won't just be that toilet upstairs that gets demolished."

"Rest assured, our exchange has never done anything against the rules."

Old Eight patted his chest and guaranteed it.

To be fair, in terms of integrity, underground gold exchange agencies have actually done a pretty good job. Over the years, I haven't heard of any disputes arising from unfair treatment or double-crossing.

Of course, it's also possible that they're just picking on the weak. As long as they do it perfectly, no rumors will spread.

However, these are all just speculations. Shinji felt that even if the other party had a few extra lives, they wouldn't dare to play this game with him, so he generously let Lao Ba start operating.

First, Lao Ba pulled out a body cabinet, put Uxus's body inside, and then quickly wrote a few words on a palm-sized scroll before throwing it in as well.

Finally, push the mortuary cabinet back in, and you're done.

"The results will be available in ten minutes at most, sooner rather than later."

Shinji nodded slightly, naturally not caring about those ten or eight points.

Then Lao Ba spoke again: "The news of your handling of the Black Mountain Curse Spirit has spread far and wide. The names of the Evil God Cult and the Ghost God Akagi have been thoroughly established. So I have a few deals to make. Would you like to take a look?"

What Lao Ba said was true; after all, more than a thousand people escaped, and with so many voices at large, various versions of the story circulated.

As the pinnacle of intelligence, the gold exchange naturally knows the whole story and the real situation.

With their deliberate promotion, the small group of Oni-Akagi has become quite famous, and even many small countries are interested in hiring them to deal with the cursed spirits in their countries.

But the problem is the wanted poster issued by the Hidden Cloud Village.

He also has a heinous criminal record, such as murdering a daimyo, which led many countries to give up on him, and the remaining countries began to wait and see.

However, the gold exchange is not afraid of these things, since they usually cooperate with rogue ninjas from various countries.

They already had intricate connections with thieves' dens, so why would they be afraid of such a small warning?

"Let me take a look first."

Shinji did not refuse, after all, he still needed to accumulate curse soul points, and having information about the exchange shop would naturally make things much easier.

Of course, the premise is that the payment satisfies him; forget about getting something for free, he would never agree to that!

Shinji carefully reviewed the documents that Lao Ba had brought out, and gained a general understanding of the situation.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and after hearing the coded signal, Lao Ba opened the morgue cabinet again.

The corpse inside had vanished, leaving only a palm-sized scroll lying quietly inside.

Lao Ba took it out and opened it. It was the scroll he had left inside. But the important thing was not that; it was the reply that followed.

After examining the body, Lao Ba felt relieved. "The body is fine. Name your price."

Shinji shook his head. "I don't want money, I want things. Including the cases you just showed me, I can take some of them, but the condition is that I can set the fee."

“I think if these jobs could be done with just some money, they wouldn’t be ignored.”

[Chapter 319. Please, I'll Double-Edge]

Old Eight was clicking his teeth in frustration; what he feared most had come to pass.

The people running these underground gold exchange shops are actually not short of money; otherwise, they wouldn't have been willing to spend large sums of money to acquire "valuable" corpses over a long period.

But as Shinji said, their success lay in their wealth, and so did their failure.

Because when you have a lot of money, it becomes just a number.

There are so many things in this world that money can't buy.

Just like the corpse Shinji gave them before, no matter how much money they were willing to offer, Shinji could simply not sell it if he didn't want to, or even destroy it.

There's absolutely nothing we can do.

"Let's talk. What do you want?" Old Eight took a step back and asked first.

Shinji said bluntly, "I want the Pig God Token lost by the Fenglie Clan of the Beast Kingdom. I don't care where it is or who has it. If you want that corpse from earlier, hand over the Pig God Token to me."

"In addition, I know you've secretly collected quite a few cursed items. Some of them are probably useless to you, or have serious side effects. You can use these as payment. Hmm, how about this, charging you 5 cursed items per request shouldn't be too expensive."

"Alright, you can report it now. I know you can't make the decision at all. Also, don't keep me waiting too long, or I'll go find other trading partners. With your intelligence channels, it shouldn't be hard for you to know about the friendly relationship between me and Kirigakure."

Lao Ba tried to speak several times, but Shinji interrupted him each time, and in the end, he didn't even give Lao Ba a chance to speak before shutting him down.

Lao Ba was speechless for a moment, and really wanted to have a Lao Ba's Secret Recipe Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) on the spot to calm his nerves.

However, as Shinji said, he really couldn't make that decision; it was beyond his authority.

Left with no other option, I could only apologize and go inside to contact someone who could make the decision.

The conversation didn't seem to be going well; the other party didn't come out for a full hour.

Shinji started to suspect that this guy might have run away with the corpse.

Just as I was wondering whether I should go in and take a look, Lao Ba, who had been missing for a long time, finally came out looking exhausted.

"We can indeed obtain the Pig God Token you requested, but at a high cost. This corpse alone is not enough; you will need to add more bargaining chips. Of course, if you are willing to accept money or other valuables in exchange, we will certainly offer you the highest possible price."

"Furthermore, we can tentatively agree to the cooperation method you proposed. However, the reward cannot be that high. According to our intelligence, even your cooperation with Kirigakure only yields a reward of 1-2 cursed artifacts, and that's for an extremely difficult S-rank mission. Therefore, to show our sincerity, our cooperation can be based entirely on the former. What do you think?"

Shinji was genuinely surprised this time; he realized he had underestimated this group.

He had expected to find out the whereabouts of the Pig God Token.

It's unbelievable that this group of people even knew the details of his deal with Mei Terumi.

This at least means that they have intelligence channels within the elders' council of Kirigakure.

After all, only a limited number of people knew about it, besides Mei Terumi, the Mizukage, there were only those old men in the Elder Council.

Mei Terumi was under considerable pressure at the time, but she managed to force her way through and suppress those people.

Then Shinji couldn't help but recall the details in the original work that showed how powerful the underground gold exchange was.

These mysterious guys even got wind of Pain's planned attack on Konoha beforehand!

Furthermore, he revealed Hidan's greatest secret—his immortality.

It's important to know that at that time, everyone who had witnessed Hidan's immortality, except for members of Akatsuki, was killed.

That's outrageous!

As a result, some people have suspected that someone within the Akatsuki organization sold intelligence to the gold exchange.

And Kakuzu is the most suspicious among them!

After all, this guy has the most dealings with the people at the gold exchange, and he's greedy. He knows most of the organization's secrets, and Hidan, who has an immortal body, is his partner...

After analyzing it this way, it feels like if it wasn't him, it would be unfair to others!

However, other people's affairs are none of Shinji's business, and he is not interested in the source of their information.

He only knew that the stronger these guys' intelligence and connections were, the easier it would be for him to get what he wanted—that was a win-win situation!
