Edogawa Satoru who wanted to be a detective is not a good sorcerer

As mentioned before, two weeks after leaving Yokohama, the more cursed spirits Wu saw, the more distorted his aesthetic sense became. He controlled too many cursed spirits, which exceeded his limit.

After reaching the limit, more delicate operations such as using cursed power to wrap cursed spirits become difficult to maintain.

Then some cursed spirits began to resist oppression.

After the cursed pets launched a war against oppression, Wu, who was victorious but completely unhappy, looked at the cursed pets like hot potatoes, but was reluctant to throw them away, so he had to start investigating and looking for cages that could store cursed energy.

Wu found that there were indeed cursed cages on the sorcerer's trading website, and there were many kinds of them. But after buying them, Edogawa Wu found that they could only hold very low-level cursed spirits, and his cute and powerful pet could run out by the way.

After analyzing the cage with his eyes and figuring out its structure, Edogawa Satoru took matters into his own hands and made several iron cages. By filling them with cursed energy, he could lock up cursed spirits, so that at least he could use them to lock up his own pets.

In the weeks since leaving Yokohama and coming to Tokyo, he has been studying this cage with great pleasure, and has developed many uses for it. For this purpose, he has searched for a lot of information, most of which came from the hidden sorcerer exchange website.

When he first logged into the website, he was attracted by the various posts.
The content inside cannot be said to be shocking, it can only be called extremely outrageous.

He made a lot of friends on the Internet.

[My brother might think it’s great that I have made so many friends. Will he praise me?]
One of the most impressive posts was the one used to exchange exorcism experiences, discussing the possibility of cursed spirits nesting with each other and the scientific nature of space proportions.

Edogawa Satoru was very interested in this and contacted the poster.

...we unexpectedly had a good chat.

When Wu chatted with the poster, he could sometimes feel that the other party would change the chat, and the speaking and typing styles were different. But the same thing was that the depth and breadth of the chat were beyond ordinary people.

Wu was hit again. The confidence he had accumulated while defrauding the rich was like a bubble, easily shattered.

[Ah…are all adults in the outside world like this? Can any random netizen be so secretive?]
He began to look forward to the poster. Maybe they should meet. Maybe they should really know each other.

At an opportune time, Edogawa Satoru proposed a face-to-face meeting.

When we met, we found out...

The person opposite is not human.

No swearing, really no swearing.

The opponent is not a human, but a cursed spirit. And a very powerful cursed spirit.

It claims to be a "real person" and dresses like a young college student. It has stitches all over its body and can't control its expression. It has smooth blue hair, heterochromia, and is thin. It looks very handsome to Wu, although not as handsome as Ranpo.

When he saw the real person, Edogawa Satoru, who was collecting cursed spirits at the time, his first reaction was "How perfect".

The thought "I want to raise one" filled his mind.

"Sbarasi——" He rushed forward and shook the Curse Spirit's hand, which stunned the Curse Spirit. "Hello!"

"Are you interested in being my pet?" Wu asked excitedly.

The cursed spirit turned its strange eyes, its blue hair fell from its ears, its delicate face was as white as porcelain, its inhumanity was so vivid that Wu's heart was pounding.

Unfortunately, the curse spirit shook his head and refused.

So Wu had no choice but to use repulsion to wrap up the cursed spirit and put it into his new cage.

Wu said happily, "Rejection is invalid!"

He recognized the curse spirit's spell at a glance and immediately used cursed power to protect himself. After approaching the curse spirit, he made the pet hidden in his clothes spit out the cage, and packed up and compressed the real person and stuffed him in.

However, real people, like humans, have thoughts, use their brains, and work tirelessly to figure out how to break the cage and escape.

"Wu-chan, can you change to a bigger cage~" his cute pet said coquettishly, "This one is too small. It's very troublesome for me to turn around."

The size of 10*10*20 is indeed too small.

Perhaps because his coquettishness was to his liking, Edogawa Satoru spoke to the real person for the first time.

They slowly chatted across the cage.

They talked about the illusion, discussed emptiness and meanness, and laughed about the relationship between cursed spirits and humans, like friends, even closer than friends.

Masato introduced a person to Edogawa Satoru: "I would like to introduce you to my collaborator, a curse master."

It squeezed out the white of its eyes through the gap in the iron cage bars, and light and shadow fell together, as evil as a cursed spirit.

Edogawa Satoru frowned when he faced his pet for the first time. His six eyes analyzed the expansion of information, which converged into a turning point of fate - the condensed cursed energy lightly adhered to his palm, and his palm was attached to the iron cage.

To kill or not to kill?

[To kill or not to kill?]
…Wu met the collaborator of the cursed spirit.

The real person waved at the curse master, and Wu thought that he should let his pets go out for a walk more often.

The curse master had a curse line running across the middle of his forehead, black hair and shiny eyes, and his voice was winding and there was always a hint of teasing in his tone.

The Curse Master was surprised when he saw him, and so was Satoru.

Edogawa Satoru was surprised: dead people can also speak.

No one wanted to see the stinking corpse or the soul that had burrowed into the corpse.

He coldly abandoned the curser, but unfortunately the pet was too close to the dead man, so he had to give up taking the real person away.

From that moment on, everything went off track.

The light and shadows in the confinement room were bright and dark, casting a thin veil over people's faces. Tiger Stick chewed gum and stared at the screen intently, while the doll in his arms snored quietly.

Edogawa Satoru was looking at Yuji. Or rather, he was looking at the two Sukuna inside Yuji.

A curse that has lasted for a thousand years. Edogawa Satoru was eager to collect the cursed spirit. But Yuji smiled so happily and put his arm around Satoru's shoulders. So Satoru lost the reason to collect it.

"Wow~" Edogawa Satoru looked up. It was Gojo Satoru who was yelling, "Look what I found, Satoru's affectionate gaze~"

Gojo Satoru came in quietly, but his voice was as loud as a storm: "Dangdangdang - look what good stuff I brought!"

Yuji took his hand off his shoulder, jumped up, and smiled so hard that his eyes and lower eyelids narrowed into two slits: "Gojo-sensei, good evening!"

Gojo Satoru also waved in response, then took out the task list: "Let's complete the tasks together."

Shit.
Edogawa Satoru looked at Gojo Satoru as if he were a scumbag.

"The scumbag teacher who divides his tasks among his students."
As he was muttering, Gojo Satoru turned his head and looked at him.

Half of the man's face was covered with an eye patch, and when he did, he would only lift a corner. The lower half of his face was exposed, and his unruly mouth muscles moved wantonly, extending to both sides at a terrifying angle, forming a weird smile like a blade: "Why, does Edogawa, who wants to be a sorcerer, have any objections?"

[I don't want to be a sorcerer, I just want to learn sorcery seriously.]
Xiao Wu glanced at Yuji and was too lazy to refute Gojo Satoru as that would be endless.

But Yuji was obviously very happy. He turned to Xiaowu and said, "I said, it would be best to let Gojo-sensei teach us!"

...Yuji, did you know that your respected teacher Gojo took a cat-ear maid photo with him a few days ago?
When Xiao Wu opened the photo album on his phone, Gojo Satoru, who was posing coquettishly, appeared before his eyes. He pushed Xiao Wu aside and occupied most of the photo space of the couple.

Satoru suddenly remembered what Kugisaki said, "Please, don't learn from Gojo Satoru." He now understood a little bit of the complex meaning wrapped in these few short words.

But I don’t really want to delete the couple photos.

First, if his brother wants to see the difference between him as a child and when he grows up, it would be a loss if he deleted it.
Second, if the big devil finds out that he deleted the photo, he will definitely laugh at him, saying that he deleted the photo out of shame because he felt ashamed of Gojo Goten's handsome looks.

Thinking about this happening, Wu's anger burned in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about Gojo Wu.

Because Gojo Satoru is the great devil, the strongest, and he can't control him.

The curse master came up with a brilliant idea: seal Gojo Satoru.

Of course the curse master didn't tell Edogawa Satoru about this. It was Satoru who dropped the bug on the curse master's clothes when they met.

The conversation between the curse master and the cursed spirits was recorded in its entirety.

However, the bug was soon discovered, and the curse master once again asked Edogawa Satoru to come out.

[He wanted to kill me.]
Edogawa Satoru sensed a hint of murderous intent, very faint and brief, but it was there nonetheless.
Even more profound was fear. The curse master feared Wu for unknown reasons.

At that time, he was really interested in these groups of cursed spirits and curse masters.

So he said, "Seal Gojo Satoru. I can help you."

At that time, Edogawa Satoru had not yet met Gojo Satoru, nor had he met Itadori, Kugisaki, and Fushiguro.

He was in a state of impatience because he couldn't find his brother, so he casually decided to vent his anger by causing trouble for people he disliked.

...Just like the director of the orphanage.

He hadn't intended to kill him.

Just like he said, he knew he was a loser and couldn't cover up his tracks perfectly.

His original plan was to threaten the dean and trap him in his office. He would be found and rescued after he left Yokohama, and then the case of child molestation would be exposed. While the dean was being punished by law, his disappearance would attract attention, not just from ordinary people, but also from people with special abilities, so that his brother could come and protect him immediately.

It was a mistake from this step.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

Because the director of the orphanage died.

Even though he died of starvation, wasn't he still the one who killed him?

It has... inevitably deviated.

[Since it’s already wrong, it doesn’t matter if you make more mistakes.]
Therefore, Edogawa Satoru's words about sealing Gojo Satoru seemed so calm, peaceful and convincing.

The curse master looked at him carefully, with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Okay, that's great."

The cursed spirits laughed together, and the curse master held his hand: "For your uniqueness, for our great cause, I offer you the seal of Gojo Satoru!"

unique?

He tilted his head, internally confused.

The curse master turned sideways and lowered his head. His soft black hair brushed across Edogawa Satoru's face. They got closer and closer. "Don't you know?"

He shook his head.

The curse master showed pity in his eyes: "You and Gojo Satoru are the same person."

"Why do you say that? I haven't even met him yet." Edogawa Satoru tried to move away from the close face uncomfortably, but there was a wall behind him and he couldn't retreat.

"There is only one pair of six eyes in an era." The curse master's hand brushed Wu's cheek and landed on his left eye. When Wu blinked, his eyelashes would brush against the curse master's fingertips. "You only have one left eye."

"When you come into contact with Gojo Satoru, you will be absorbed - you will merge into one person. At that time, 'you' will no longer exist."

"If you don't believe me, go meet this 'strongest'."

Edogawa Satoru saw Suture and was smiling.
