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

The elders turned on the lights in the conference room, and the room surrounded by darkness suddenly became bright. Gojo Satoru sat in the seat of the patriarch, half lying down, his hair sticking up from the blindfold and scattered in disarray. From a distance, he looked like a perfect statue.

"Watanabe Ichiro, whom you arranged to protect, was yelling in his room all day, wanting to get out, saying that if he didn't get out he would die."

"Ah, he begged me to come in." Gojo Satoru rubbed his temple, "Ask him if he has set up the restraints, and don't worry about him for now."

"Also, the ghost house has appeared in the world, and I guess Chuang will assign you a task." The elder saluted to the head of the family, and then began to report the news he had found during this period.

First was Edogawa Satoru.

The Gojo family investigated the household registration he provided, which was a photocopy and could be used to supplement information but had no legal effect.

Both parents listed in the household registration have passed away, and the living Edogawa Ranpo is Edogawa Satoru's older brother, but he was registered as missing on April 4.

Edogawa Satoru was adopted in Tokyo, but the orphanage in Tokyo does not exist.

"It doesn't exist?" Gojo Satoru was still slumped in his seat, "Is this what you wanted to tell me?"

The man in the high position sighed, but it made the people below tremble with fear.

The elder continued quickly.

Edogawa Satoru was five years old when he was adopted. He lived in Yokohama Municipal Hospital for a month before being discharged and moved into the Edogawa family.

According to the case history, Edogawa Satoru was born with a retinal defect in one eye, but had normal vision in both eyes when he was discharged from the hospital.

During the eight years that Edogawa Satoru lived in the Edogawa family, he did not do anything outstanding or extraordinary.

Gojo Satoru didn't say anything.

The elder couldn't figure out the patriarch's thoughts, so he continued to talk about Edogawa Satoru's actions after arriving in Tokyo:

In the previous week, Edogawa Satoru traveled around, mostly making money by removing curses for the middle class;
Starting from the second week, he approached the rich to make money;
In the third week, Edogawa Satoru fixed his address and reduced his travels. The Gojo family found that Edogawa Satoru had two properties and five rental houses under his name.

At least on the surface, there was nothing suspicious about Edogawa Satoru.

The Great Elder heard Gojo Satoru sneer, "Okay, okay, what else?"

The elders below lowered their heads, fearing that they had offended the head of the family.

It was the second elder's turn to report: "Regarding the astral plasma incident, we discovered..."

He was stuck, and the Great Elder slapped him on the back. He had no choice but to stammer, "It seems like the ritual killer, Fushiguro Shiori, that..."

Gojo Satoru hooked his finger: "If you don't hurry up and tell me——"

The second elder closed his eyes and made up his mind: "Fushiguro Shiner may not be dead!"

Gojo Satoru froze. He withdrew his hand to support his chin, and his long legs, which had nowhere to rest, were placed on the handles of the patriarch's chair.

No one dared to speak.

The meeting room was so quiet that the owner's shallow breathing could be heard.

Everyone present knows that it was Fushiguro Shigeki who almost killed the head of the family in the astral plasma incident twelve years ago.

However, Gojo Satoru also killed Fushiguro Shinobu, so it doesn't make sense for the dead to be resurrected, right?

After a long while, Gojo Satoru smiled and said, "Why aren't you talking? Don't you want to continue?"

The elders didn't notice any smile on the patriarch's face.

"I will continue to investigate the matter about Fushiguro Shigeru." The second elder retreated tremblingly.

The third elder was straightforward and began to report the news he had found like naming dishes:
Nothing major happened to the three great families, but the new mother of the Zenin family was found to be a man, the son of the head of the family was slept with by a man, and the men of the Zenin family are collectively afraid of men recently; among the high-level spellcasting masters, apart from Gojo Satoru's faction and the conservative faction, there seems to be another faction that is friendly with all parties, but its true identity is unknown; and the number of special-grade cursed spirits has increased suddenly, and many special-grade cursed items have disappeared...

The third elder said a lot of things, but the more he spoke, the quieter the surroundings became, so he shut up involuntarily.

"Have you finished reporting?"

Everyone lowered their heads. Ever since the astral plasma incident, the head of the family had been incomprehensible to them. Up to now, Gojo Satoru had already grasped the real power of the Gojo family and was a feared head of the family.

"The big shot above asked me to act quickly." Gojo Satoru sat up straight, one hand casually placed on the handle, the other hand supporting his cheek. Under the bright white light, he was high above, like a god. "So, I want to set the action plan for November 11st."

"You will try not to hold me back, right?"

The "Son of God" smiled.

But he will not give his people who believe in him any choice other than to follow him.

……

"Huh? Gojo-sensei is taking us on a mission?" Kugisaki asked suspiciously.

Fushiguro Megumi flipped through the mission: "Haunted House?"

Supervisor Ijichi nodded. "This mission is difficult but harmless. The Demon House was sealed by the police and the magic world ten years ago. Your mission this time is to collect the special books with black covers and gold letters scattered throughout the Demon House."

"Then what do we need Gojo Satoru for?" asked Edogawa Satoru.

Megumi Fushiguro handed the mission details to Xiao Wu.

Ten years ago, the Haunted House suddenly appeared. It was famous for its desperate but non-fatal wishing house, attracting many people who made wishes. Strangely, those people died unexpectedly shortly after making wishes in the Haunted House. In order to reduce the impact, the magic world suppressed the Haunted House with special spells at the strong request of the police chief. After the suppression, the city government built a city library on the foundation of the Haunted House and asked the magic world to arrange a second layer of seals, that is, special books placed in various places in the formation. These books prevented the Haunted House from appearing immediately after the special spells disappeared.

The purpose of sending Gojo Satoru this time is to directly destroy the demon house.

"The special-grade spell disappeared after the fire?" Edogawa Satoru frowned. "I've wanted to complain for a long time. Why are you guys so careless about using special-grade spells? The same goes for Yuji. If you had hidden the Sukuna Finger, there wouldn't be so much trouble."

Ichichi smiled apologetically: "I don't know about things like placing special-grade spells. It may have something to do with Feng Shui. Sometimes you have to consider the effect and range of the shock and make different arrangements."

When the deceased Yuji Itadori was mentioned, the atmosphere became heavy.

They set off for the demon house.

It turned out that the library was blocked by a cordon. Gojo Satoru was standing next to the ashes, wearing sunglasses. He turned around and waved his hands vigorously when he saw them.

"Hello, handsome guys and girls!" The way Gojo Satoru spoke scared the people around him, causing them to step back.

Next to Gojo Satoru, an old man who was only a head shorter than Gojo Satoru also greeted them. The black-haired child next to the old man also raised his hand and waved slowly, imitating him.

When Edogawa Satoru and his group walked in, Gojo Satoru smiled and patted the old man with his left hand: "Let me introduce you. This is the person in charge of the Kakushin Detective Agency. You can just call him Kakushin."

Edogawa Satoru's eyes were fixed on the tail behind the uncle.

[Cursed spirit? No, monster? Ghost?]
Is there something wrong with the world outside of Yokohama? Why are there cursed spirits and strange creatures?

Yin Shen's hair is like two fluffy yellow balls. He is 180cm tall and wears a detective suit. He gently pushed the children around him and said, "This is Zhi, Jing and Xia Yu, members of my office."

163, 159, 151cm.

Edogawa Satoru blinked his eyes and said, "They seem to be no older than 15?"

"Employing child labor is a good tradition." Gojo Satoru laughed, and then explained to the high school group, "The police commissioned the Inshin Detective Agency and the Jujutsu World to clean up the demon house together. Don't worry, we're just getting to know each other casually, and we'll separate after we go in."

"Gojo-kun, what you said is really cruel," Yinshen said his next plan, "The reason why the demon house is called 'demon' is because there lives a demon in it who turned into a demon after death. It is said that as long as you have experienced despair, it can fulfill any wish. Gojo-kun and I plan to let you go in and collect special books first, and I will investigate the situation of the demon house. Finally, let Gojo-kun bomb the demon house."

"Yes! Don't worry, I've already been around, it's very safe!" Gojo Satoru raised one side of his glasses and gave the high school students a thumbs up, "I suddenly have something else to do, so call me after you finish your work here~ I'll come over and fire the flare cannon~"

Kugisaki: "I guess you're going to have dessert, so open the plate, Satoru. The same old rules."

Edogawa Satoru pulled out a piece of paper with the banker's name on it from his pocket: "Kugizaki Kiichi."

"...It's you after all." Fushiguro Megumi covered his face. He was wondering why he was constantly being fed water. "Add me in. I'll bet on dessert too."

Gojo Satoru puffed up his cheeks and said, "Your dear teacher has something important to do, and he's even opening a bet - then add me in, I want to bet that Gojo Satoru is on a mission."

The light-haired boy next to Yinshen was unhappy: "Is this ignoring us?!"

The Hidden God patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't bother with crazy people."

Edogawa Satoru was tickled and couldn't stop laughing: "Hey, Fushiguro, Kugisaki, he said not to bother with crazy people!"

"They are crazy people." Fushiguro Megumi corrected.

"Why, so what if I'm a madman?" Kugisaki frowned.

The other white-haired boy next to Yin Shen was frightened and cried, "That's not what Yin Shen meant!"

Although the boy with white hair and blue eyes is as cute as an idol, Rokugan tells Edogawa that he is a male and has an Adam's apple.

But Kugisaki's expression suddenly changed, and he said happily: "Thank you for the compliment."

The other side was stunned.

To say crazy is probably a compliment to a sorcerer.

Ichichi put down the account.

They began to assign tasks. The Inshin group acted together, with Fushiguro, Kugisaki, and Edogawa Satoru each taking charge of an area.

Edogawa Satoru went in last. Before going in, he asked Gojo Satoru: "Hidden God, not a human?"

"No~"

Although Yinshen was far away, he heard Xiaowu's words clearly. He walked in front of Xiaowu, squatted down and looked at Edogawa Satoru at eye level: "You are pretty good, right? You might be a good detective, you have such a strong observation ability."

No, it's because of the six eyes.

Edogawa Satoru said quietly in his heart.

"We are not human," Yinshen said. "We are almost like the monsters that people talk about."

Wu's eyes scanned Yinshen, Jing, Zhi, and Xia Yu.

[I see. ]
[The six eyes are not omnipotent. Can they only analyze ordinary things and spells?]
Another wasteful day.

...But, being a detective?

Edogawa Satoru felt a little moved.
