Watch Me Trick Him Again

Seeing the scene before him, Fushiguro was slightly taken aback.

"Hey, Megumi, this is our first time meeting, isn't it?" Shiratori Gotsu blew off the handcuffs and quickly stood up from the chair.

"Shiratori -senpai... did you die young?" Fushiguro asked abruptly.

Actually, he had a lot to say, but the words got stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to start.

Shiratori Gotsu: "..."

"I guess so, but is that what you're saying as the very first thing we say when we officially meet?"

He reached into his Fushiguro pocket and pulled out a rubber band he had prepared beforehand, tied up his loose hair, and then stretched his limbs:

"Shouldn't you comment on my appearance or something?"

"Um..."

Fushiguro rubbed his chin, turned his face away, and shifted his gaze from Shiratori Gotsu's eyes. "Senior is quite handsome..."

"What's wrong with you? Look at you."

Shiratori Gotsu patted his shoulder and laughed, "Alright, alright, let's go out and show off."

Outside the infirmary, Itadori, Kugisaki, and Satoru Gojo are having a heated discussion about Shiratori Gotsu's appearance.

"Judging from her voice, she must be quite young."

Kugisaki held up one finger. "I think it should be the handsome type."

"I think Shiratori -senpai is probably a bit older than Gojo- sensei, and a reliable, handsome older man," Itadori, stroking his chin with a serious expression.

"Anyway, he can't possibly be more handsome than me." Satoru Gojo shrugged.

"Ugh, narcissistic," Kugisaki retorted.

Just then, the door to the infirmary was pushed open.

Shiratori Gotsu, pulling Fushiguro, leaped out of the door with a thunderous bound, tossing her hair. "Sorry to keep you all waiting!"

"Oh!" Itadori's eyes lit up the moment he saw him.

"Wow!" Kugisaki exclaimed in amazement.

"Wow, this senior is actually quite handsome! You'd never guess he's from four hundred years ago!"

"Oh~ You're quite good-looking!" Satoru Gojo raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Shiratori Gotsu waved his hand, his invisible lips now almost touching the sun. "No, no, you flatter me."

Just kidding, who doesn't like being complimented on their looks?

Just as everyone was chatting and exchanging pleasantries, Shoko walked over with a displeased expression:

"Hey, it's past ten o'clock already, what are you all still doing here?"

"If there's nothing else, I'm going to rest."

Seeing her expression, no one dared to disobey, and they immediately took a step back in unison, making way for her.

That's more like it.

They all breathed a sigh of relief only after the Shoko disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"Ahem," Shiratori Gotsu cleared his throat, then said, "Um, Gojo Warden Gojo, could you please call Inumaki over again?"

"I have some things to discuss regarding those two Special Grade Cursed Spirit, and I need Inumaki's cooperation."

"That's fine, but... why do you call me 'Prison Master'?" Satoru Gojo asked curiously.

During my first playthrough, when Shiratori Gotsu addressed Satoru Gojo in that way, Gojo asked him the same question.

So, without hesitation, he repeated his previous statement:

"To be the strongest yet be limited by others, forced to submit to a corrupt and incompetent higher-ups—what's the difference between that and being in prison?"

"... Ha... that makes sense."

Satoru Gojo's lips twitched, then he silently turned around, his movements slightly stiff. "Um, I'll go bring Thorn over."

After saying that, he quickly left with small, quick steps.

"... Why is Gojo- sensei reacting like this?" Itadori asked, his face full of confusion.

"You've hit a nerve, haven't you?" Fushiguro.

Shiratori Gotsu waved its hand and called out:

"Alright, alright, you're all at the age where you're growing and need plenty of sleep. Go back to bed now."

"I have to go to the dark, deep dungeon, so I'll have to stay with you for now."

With that, a sinister, impatient smile spread across his face as he dashed out.

"... Why do I suddenly feel like Shiratori -senpai is the same kind of person as Gojo- sensei?" Kugisaki asked hesitantly.

"You haven't spent much time with your senior, so you probably don't know his personality very well." Fushiguro felt he was very qualified to speak on this matter.

So he explained, "That's how it is with the senior; he's a very... in his words—'insightful' person."

"Besides, Senpai is much more reliable than Gojo- sensei!" Itadori's tone was full of certainty.

"That's true," Kugisaki agreed.

A few minutes later, Satoru Gojo, Shiratori Gotsu, and Toge Inumaki entered the underground interrogation room together.

The interrogation room was sealed off, making it almost impossible for Hanami and Jogo to absorb Cursed Energy from the outside world.

Therefore, apart from being somewhat more stable than when they were first removed, neither head showed any signs of recovery.

Even so, they remained indomitable.

"Oh, Miss Hanami, Mr. Jogo, it's been a long time!"

Shiratori Gotsu greeted everyone with a smile, then introduced herself, "Nice to meet you all in this way. Let me introduce myself, my name is Shiratori Gotsu."

"I don't care if you're Shiratori or a black bird... Shiratori...?!"

Upon realizing who was standing before her, Jogo's pupils dilated in shock: 'How did he get out of Megumi Fushiguro...'

"Oh?" Seeing the Jogo's reaction, Shiratori Gotsu stroked his chin, thinking to himself:

'It seems Kenjaku has told them about my situation too...'

He smiled slightly, a good idea popping into his head: 'Since that's the case, why not turn the tables on them?'

Now that he's free Binding Vow constraints, he has a lot more options.

Jogo and Hanami haven't returned for so long, Kenjaku must have already sensed something was wrong, and is probably planning how to rescue them.

He was determined to pull something fancy and give Kenjaku an unexpected surprise!

Thinking of this, Shiratori Gotsu chuckled.

He reached out his wicked hand and gently stroked Jogo and Hanami's faces, then said in the same gentle tone:

"[Corpse Attraction Shock Blast • Second Bomb]."

Two seconds later, the transformation was complete.

After doing all this, he said to Inumaki, "Inumaki, please use your Cursed Speech to make them forget what just happened."

"Oh right, you also need to remember what happened during the interrogation today."

"Bokuyu-hana." Inumaki waved his hand.

"Uh... luckily I was prepared." Shiratori Gotsu immediately handed over the familiar little notebook.

Inumaki understood immediately, took the notebook, and wrote on it:

I can't do it; erasing memories is a severe curse.

For me to make them forget so much all at once, my Cursed Energy wouldn't be able to withstand the backlash.

"Who said you have to personally bear the backlash?"

After reading the contents of the notebook, Shiratori Gotsu smiled slightly and snapped his fingers, "Prison Warden Gojo, it's your turn to appear."

"Use your domain [Unlimited Void] against them."

"Hmm?" Satoru Gojo's face showed a puzzled expression. "How did you know my domain is [Unlimited Void]?"

"I'm from four hundred years ago, of course I've seen your ancestors use it."

Shiratori Gotsu, without hesitation and with an air of self-righteousness:

"The [Limitless] is an ancient family heirloom Cursed Technique, and the development paths of its descendants and predecessors are roughly the same."

"Furthermore, since you also have Six Eyes, I deduce that your domain is most likely the same as that of the previous head of the Gojo Clan— the [Unlimited Void]."

In fact, Gojo Shinichi Shiratori Gotsu would deploy his domain.

Anyway, until he was cut in half by the Mahoraga summoned by Zenin Kei's self-destruction, he never saw the other party use it.

However, that doesn't stop him from using it as an excuse.

Records from four hundred years ago are incomplete, so it's perfect to use something within a reasonable range as an excuse.

"I see. No wonder he's a veteran."

After hearing Shiratori Gotsu's extremely reasonable explanation, Satoru Gojo nodded:

"Alright, then you two stay close to me, or you'll be affected by the [Unlimited Void]."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and formed the [Indra Hand Sign].

"Mmm!" Shiratori Gotsu and Inumaki immediately bent down and hugged his legs at the same time.

The next moment. "[Domain Expansion • Unlimited Void]!"

A massive amount of chaotic information poured into Jogo and Hanami's minds as the domain expanded.

Their brains immediately went blank.

"Is that alright?" Five seconds later, Satoru Gojo released his domain.

"Okay, let's move on to the next step!"

Shiratori Gotsu immediately released his leg, then took out a Cursed Energy Storage Coin from his pocket and handed it to Inumaki, beginning his on-the-spot demonstration:

"Inumaki, use the Cursed Energy within this Cursed Energy Storage Coin to activate the Cursed Speech, don't use your own."

"In this way, you can establish Binding Vow, transferring most of the backlash to the coin."

"That way, even a curse that erases memories can be easily activated."

Upon hearing this, Inumaki's eyes lit up instantly.

It seems he's unlocked some incredible new way to play!

"Salmon! Tendon!" He nodded solemnly, then followed Shiratori Gotsu's instructions step by step.

Two minutes later, the coin turned to ashes.

This indicates that the entire process was a great success!

"Hmm~ Not bad, not bad." Shiratori Gotsu looked at Jogo and Hanami, who were still in a state of malfunction, and was extremely satisfied.

"Alright, Inumaki, you can go back now."

Inumaki bowed to the Shiratori Gotsu, then skipped away.

"It seems like Thorn learned something incredible." Satoru Gojo rubbed his chin, a smile playing on his lips.

Then, he turned to Shiratori Gotsu: "What are you going to do next?"

"Let's outsmart them!" Shiratori Gotsu replied without hesitation.

"I've turned those two Cursed Spirit into bombs."

"Based on the information Inumaki obtained during his interrogation, they should be core members."

"In other words, barring any unforeseen circumstances, someone will come to rescue them soon."

At this point, Shiratori Gotsu an evil smile:

"Why don't we just go along with this and do them a favor... hehehehe."

"Oh~" After hearing Shiratori Gotsu's plan, Satoru Gojo couldn't help but reveal a mischievous grin. "You're so wicked, I love it~"

Same here~

"Hehehehehe... Eehehehehaha..."

Dark, sinister laughter echoed throughout the interrogation room.
