Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"I terminated my cooperation with the other party when I discovered their death; otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here alive to talk to you now."

His deal with the other party was conducted in the form of binding. The binding automatically disappeared the moment the other party died, and he learned of the other party's death.

"The reason the other side was able to launch this attack is because I had already provided enough intelligence beforehand."

Originally, all he needed to do was wait for the attack to succeed so that his body could be healed, but unfortunately, he never got to wait that long.

"Furthermore, I originally thought that after losing a top-grade cursed spirit, the other side would probably choose to abandon their original plan. This situation has also exceeded my expectations."

"I think you're partly to blame for this."

Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed to herself and asked in confusion:

"I?"

“That’s right. Although you claim that it was Gojo Satoru who killed that special-grade cursed spirit, the other side probably also guessed that the real culprit was someone else.”

"One of the purposes of this operation is probably to investigate your existence."

"It seems they have succeeded, but they didn't expect the price to be the loss of another top-tier curse spirit."

Ultimate Machine Maru's self-disclosure gradually helped her figure out the details of the matter, but there was still one thing she couldn't quite understand.

she asked:

"Since you ended your cooperation with them a long time ago, why are you only choosing to be honest now?"

The other party responded quickly to this question:

"Because I was on the run for a long time, I only recently found a secluded place to settle down."

"I hope that you and Gojo Satoru can step in to ensure my safety."

Chapter 49 New Plan

"escape?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka murmured the word thoughtfully.

However, Ultimate Machine Maru thought she was just genuinely confused, so he continued:

"During the cooperation with them, I also obtained some important intelligence."

"The other side will never allow me to live with this information."

"If nothing unexpected happens, they should be planning to kill me after the deal is done, and I originally had some backup plans for that. It's just that your appearance disrupted both of our plans."

"After realizing the death of the real person, I immediately began to move my physical body to avoid being hunted down."

"Therefore, I hope you and Gojo Satoru will come to pick me up and ensure my safety. In return, I will provide all the information I know."

"I assure you, this intelligence is extremely important."

"You're not playing us, are you?"

Lou Hu stood in front of Xia Youjie and asked in a low voice.

Thick smoke was billowing from the crater above his head, symbolizing the rage about to erupt within its owner.

In fact, even without observing these appearances, those standing to the side could feel the murderous aura emanating from Lou Hu at this moment, not to mention Xia Youjie, who was the first to be affected.

"First it was Zhenren, and now it's Hua Yu Ni. Are you just trying to send us to our deaths?"

Losing two important companions in succession had put Louhu in a terrible mood.

In front of him, Xia Youjie still smiled and said:

"Calm down. You should understand that doing this will do me no good or for our plans."

"I really didn't expect Gojo Satoru to react so quickly, and even to hide it among the students."

As he spoke, 'Xia Youjie' looked at the photo of Fujimaru Ritsuka on the coffee table. Judging from the scene and angle, it must have been taken secretly during a team battle.

This wasn't their first time dealing with each other, and if nothing unexpected happened, the incident with the real person was also orchestrated by the other party.

The investigation was conducted by a first-class sorcerer and two college students, one of whom was Fujimaru Ritsuka.

They simply didn't take her seriously at the time, nor did they realize that she was a hidden pawn planted by Gojo Satoru.

But this time they really made a mistake. The other party must have become a college student during the exchange meeting, or more specifically, after Louhu and Gojo Satoru met.

Because the opponent entered the arena so quickly, they failed to detect their presence in time, and in doing so, they lost two important combatants.

but

"Was it more a coincidence than a premeditated plan?"

He didn't think Gojo Satoru could have kept such a young Special Grade Spellcaster hidden until now. He was more inclined to believe that the other person, like Etotsu Yuta last year, was a newcomer discovered by Gojo Satoru.

Furthermore, like Yuta Etotsu, the other party possesses extremely high talent.

Regardless, at least they have now successfully exposed their opponent from the shadows, and all they need to do next is to include them in their calculations.

For him, the most terrifying thing was the unknown uncertainty, not how much combat power the other side possessed.

The only combat force he ever had to be wary of was Gojo Satoru.

But

"Due to this series of events, our original plan could no longer be carried out, but fortunately, I have finalized a new plan."

Xia Youjie chuckled.

However, Lou Hu's expression turned even more unpleasant upon hearing the other party mention the plan.

He said angrily:

"What's the point of talking about plans now? Without Makoto and Hanamichi, there's no way I can hold off Gojo Satoru for twenty minutes by myself!"

"And you let that sorcerer escape too. If he tells Gojo Satoru the information, our plan will be ruined instantly!"

"it's all over!!"

However, Xia Youjie remained unhurried and said:

"That's why I said I've finalized a new plan. Releasing that sorcerer is part of that new plan."

“This time, you don’t need to delay Gojo Satoru. Leave Gojo Satoru to me. You just need to grab the container of Ryoumen Sukuna and make the other party eat all the fingers we’ve preserved.”

"Also, she's in your care now,"

He threw a photo of Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of Louhu and laughed:

"You must also be eager to avenge Hua Yu and the others, right? So, how about it? Can you handle a newly discovered top-tier sorcerer?"

Louhu stared intently at Fujimaru Ritsuka in the photograph, remaining silent for a long while. Suddenly, the photograph was engulfed in flames, and he gritted his teeth, saying:

"I will burn her to ashes!"

Seemingly because she had set a new goal, Louhu's emotions finally began to stabilize.

At this moment, he seemed to remember something, and looked up at 'Xia Youjie' to question him:

"Since you have a way to deal with Gojo Satoru on your own, why did you make us hold him off for twenty minutes before?"

Xia Youjie replied:

"Because it's risky. If I could, I wouldn't want to gamble, but this is the only option now."

"."

Lou Hu stopped talking after hearing this, which was taken as acceptance of his answer, and silently turned and left.

After Lou Hu left, Xia Youjie's smile vanished, and he stared expressionlessly at the photo that Lou Hu had burned to ashes, muttering to himself:

"I really got tricked. And I don't like gambling at all."

In fact, his plan was very simple; he just made some choices regarding the details of the original plan.

The top-grade cursed artifact, [Prison Gate], is a barrier that can seal away any living being, no matter how powerful they are.

Its condition for use is that the person being sealed needs to stay within the effective sealing range of about 4 meters for one minute. This is not a harsh condition, but it would be very harsh if the person being sealed is Gojo Satoru.

Fortunately, this minute is in the other person's mind, not in reality.

His original plan was to use the information about the body he was currently inhabiting—that Gojo Satoru's friend, Natsuyu Suke, had suddenly died and resurrected and appeared in front of him—to gain this minute of time.

This is why he avoids Gojo Satoru.

Because this intelligence can only be used once, if it appears in front of the other party in advance, then this intelligence will be wasted, and his plan will also be in vain.

In addition, Gojo Satoru's "Six Eyes" might be able to see through his fakeness in an instant.

It was precisely to address this point that he had Louhu and the others hold off Gojo Satoru for twenty minutes, thereby increasing the probability of success by depleting Gojo Satoru's stamina.

However, now, Louhu alone is no longer able to accomplish the task of holding off Gojo Satoru, so he has no choice but to change his plans.

The key to the changed plan lies in the college student he let go, and in Kokichi.

"Yukichi-kun, you absolutely must tell Gojo Satoru about my identity and plans, everything, without any reservations."

'Xia Youjie', or rather, the cursed spirit that possessed Xia Youjie's body, was now...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 50 didn't even consider the information about Yukichi for a moment; the next character to appear was...

After communicating with Ultimate Machine Maru, Fujimaru Ritsuka understood the other party's needs and then chose to call Gojo Satoru.

"Hey, Gojo-sensei, it's like this..."

She recounted their entire conversation, including the reasons for Kokichi's betrayal and the conditions he proposed.

After indicating that he understood, Gojo Satoru hung up the phone.

Fujimaru Ritsuka put away her phone and sighed.
