This is the Mindset of a Trash

This is the mindset of a trash. "So there really are people here."

Jie Jian furrowed his brow; someone dying here meant this spawn point was occupied.

His gaze swept quickly across the surroundings, and he saw quite a few battle traces on the surrounding walls. It was clear a fight had taken place here previously.

Jie Jian took a deep breath. As a modern person, he was still somewhat unaccustomed to seeing this kind of scene.

He forced down the discomfort in his heart, walked on tiptoe, and cautiously continued forward.

You wouldn't know until you walked it, and walking gave him a fright.

There was more than one similar scene!

Having walked just a few corners, Jie Jian saw several different corpses lying on the ground!

Their methods of death were extremely tragic, their bodies damaged to varying degrees, missing either a hand or a foot. There wasn't a single complete corpse.

Jie Jian continued his forward exploration without stopping, his body pausing slightly as he reached the west side of the shopping mall.

He lowered his head and stepped into a pool of blood beside his feet. The sticky, viscous sensation instantly made Jie Jian certain that this blood hadn't been left here long!

The other party had died recently!

Thinking that the murderer might still be nearby, Jie Jian even softened his breathing.

Following a normal situation, he should turn around and evacuate immediately now, staying far away from this area.

His current strength wasn't enough to face an opponent of this caliber; he could go find some weakling opponents first to raise his combat power before coming back.

But this was the mindset of a trash!

Strong guys?

It's you strong guys I'm after!

Anyway, he wouldn't truly die, so what was there to be afraid of? He would just treat it as gathering intelligence in advance.

The corners of Jie Jian's mouth curled into a smile. Not only was he not afraid now, but he was actually extremely curious about who had killed so many people around here.

He strode forward, preparing to hit the murderer with an imposing stride.

Ahead, a door blocked Jie Jian's path.

Without a second word, he walked up and pushed the door open.

However, the next moment, Jie Jian's body came to a halt.

At this moment, he had arrived at an outdoor rooftop on the west side of the shopping mall.

In the exact center of the rooftop, a figure had their back turned to Jie Jian.

Jie Jian didn't know whether the other person hadn't noticed him or simply didn't care about him at all.

Right by the other person's feet, a mutilated corpse lay collapsed behind them.

As for the person himself, he squatted unconcernedly on the ground, biting his own finger with his teeth while muttering resentfully under his breath.

"Where on earth are you, Sukuna!"

Hearing the two words "Sukuna," Jie Jian felt his heart leap straight up into his throat.

There weren't many people in the Culling Game who dared to go looking for trouble with Sukuna!

Jie Jian quickly sized up the other person, and upon seeing the blue Nezha-style hair and the iron-rod-like weapon on his shoulder, he immediately recognized him in his heart.

"You—could you be Hajime Kashimo!"

Hearing someone call out his name, Hajime Kashimo turned his head to look back.

He gazed up and down at Jie Jian in confusion.

"You know me?"

From his perspective, hardly anyone in the Culling Game would recognize him.

He had incarnated and revived, so aside from jujutsu sorcerers from his own era, only Kenjaku would know him.

Yet no matter how one looked at it, this person in front of him didn't look like an ancient jujutsu sorcerer who had reincarnated, nor did the fellow have a stitch line across his forehead, meaning he wasn't Kenjaku.

Then how did this person recognize him?

Jie Jian's heart shook violently at that moment.

He hadn't expected that the person before him really was Hajime Kashimo!

What are you doing coming to a spawn point instead of heading deeper into the colony, Hajime Kashimo?

Are you, big-eyed fellow, also camping out at a spawn point?!

However, Jie Jian was actually misjudging Hajime Kashimo here.

He wasn't deliberately camping out at a spawn point; he just happened to be right over here.

Even the moment Jie Jian had just landed, Hajime Kashimo had seen him from the sky.

Yet Jie Jian's cursed energy was simply too scant—Hajime Kashimo couldn't even be bothered to deliberately seek him out!

Faced with Hajime Kashimo's inquiry, Jie Jian scratched his head.

"Uh... maybe it's because my intelligence network is a little higher than other people's?"

As he spoke, Jie Jian extended his index finger and thumb to measure out a tiny pinch-sized space.

Confirming that Jie Jian was a modern sorcerer, Hajime Kashimo looked him up and down, speaking with a trace of disgust.

"Are modern sorcerers reduced to nothing but trash like you?"

Jie Jian smiled awkwardly.

He was truly sorry for having such weak strength.

Hajime Kashimo didn't have any proactive desire to attack a weakling like Jie Jian, but he was quite interested in the "intelligence network" Jie Jian had mentioned.

"Hey, do you know where Sukuna is?" Hajime Kashimo asked casually.

"Uh..." Jie Jian hesitated for a moment, then nodded forcefully. "I actually do know that. Don't underestimate my intelligence network."

Hiding things in front of an old-timer like Hajime Kashimo didn't hold much meaning; he could directly judge whether someone was lying just from the pauses in their tone.

"Where is he! Tell me quickly!"

Upon hearing that Jie Jian knew Sukuna's whereabouts, Hajime Kashimo's eyes lit up instantly.

The reason Hajime Kashimo had been willing to agree to sign a contract with Kenjaku was precisely to do battle with strong opponents. He was already impatient to make Sukuna witness his Mythical Beast Amber!

As for selling someone out, Jie Jian felt zero psychological burden.

Only, he was somewhat curious inside: the system's ultimate goal was for him to challenge Sukuna.

Yet if Sukuna were to be killed before he could challenge him, how would the system settle the score in the end?

"Sukuna should currently be in..."

Right as Jie Jian was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something and immediately summoned his Golden Bug.

"Golden Bug, are you there?"

"I am here. How can I help you?"

Jie Jian's Golden Bug appeared with a bang, fluttering happily around him.

"Could you tell me what date it is right now?"

Although he had participated in the Culling Game so many times, Jie Jian still didn't know the specific current timeline.

Hajime Kashimo didn't interrupt, simply staring quietly at Jie Jian.

The Golden Bug paused for a moment, spun a circle in the air, and answered quickly:

"It is currently November 1, 2018."

Jie Jian nodded. "So the Culling Game has only just begun."

According to the Jujutsu Kaisen timeline, the Shibuya Incident had concluded on October 31, 2018.

And Kenjaku had also seized Mahito on that very evening, kicking off the Culling Game.

Jie Jian raised his head to look at Hajime Kashimo.

"Little Lu, right now Sukuna is still inside his vessel Yuji Itadori and hasn't come out yet."

Hajime Kashimo's brow furrowed.

Ignoring Jie Jian's "Little Lu" nickname, he continued to ask:

"Yuji Itadori? Then where is he right now?"

Jie Jian raised his head to ponder for a moment, saying in a deep voice, "He should be in Tokyo."

Hajime Kashimo's face sank instantly.

This was practically a load of nonsense. Tokyo was massive—how was he supposed to find him?

Why didn't you just say Yuji was on planet Earth!

"You're toying with me!" Hajime Kashimo looked toward Jie Jian with an unkind expression.

Jie Jian hurriedly waved his hands.

"How could that be, God Lu? I am a person famously known for never lying!"

According to the timeline, Yuji hadn't yet walked out of the Shibuya Incident at this moment, and was currently hunting cursed spirits released by Kenjaku in Tokyo alongside his big brother Choso.

It wouldn't be until November 12 that Yuji and his group would officially enter the Tokyo No. 2 Colony.

Therefore, Jie Jian truly didn't know Yuji's specific whereabouts at the present moment.
