"......Not really." Xia Youjie took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "If he was really someone you valued, why would he bury him in such a sparsely populated place?"

"You are ignorant of this." Gojo Satoru spoke with an expert's attitude: "Burying it in a place like this has at least three advantages."

"First, there is no need to worry about tomb robbers. It is very safe."

“Second, I won’t be disturbed by the messy people and things in the city.”

"Third, when you are sad, you can come here alone and reminisce quietly. Otherwise, if you run out crying in a crowded place, it would be too embarrassing, right? So choosing a quiet place is very important."

Well...it seems to make a lot of sense.

"Why do you sound very experienced?"

"Jie, have you ever had this fantasy? Lying in bed late at night, wondering where you would bury your best friend if they died, that kind of thing?"

".......Thank you." Xia Youjie said speechlessly: "I never thought about it."

"Eh..." Gojo Satoru turned to ask Naoko who was quietly listening to the phone: "What about Naoko?"

“Yeah,” she said, “I think about it often.”

"One is buried in the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, and the other is buried in the Mariana Trench. Let me do it myself."

"Bury?"

"No, kill them and bury them."

Xia Youjie: ".......Nano, you are not talking about......"

"Yes, it's you two."

"See." Gojo Satoru patted his shoulder and said, "I said that everyone would have this kind of fantasy when they have nothing to do. It's just that you are too niche, Jie."

"It's obviously because you two have such strange trains of thought, right?" Xia Youjie hit him on the shoulder, "Who on earth would think about what to do if their friend died!"

After beating him, he was stunned again.

After Tennen died, although his body was brought back by Wu, most of the burial matters were still decided by Kuroi.

So, after that incident, he was also thinking about these things?

Moreover, he was stabbed in the brain by Fushiguro Shigeki, and if he had not comprehended the reversal technique, he would have really died.

So, I am just a little bit short of it. Do I really have to help him choose a cemetery as a friend?

Only now do I realize, belatedly, that I feel a little scared.

"Satoru." Xia Youjie said with mixed feelings: "Don't worry, if that day really comes, I will definitely choose a beautiful place for you."

"Hey, are you kidding?" Gojo Satoru shouted.

"What?" Xia Yujie was stunned.

"I never thought about choosing a grave for my friend!" Gojo Satoru said with a grin, "After all, we are the strongest. How can the strongest die?"

".......Then the method of choosing a cemetery that you just mentioned is......"

"I made it up to trick you." Gojo Satoru blinked playfully, "I didn't expect you to actually believe it."

"......." Xia Youjie punched him on the head: "Give me back the true feelings that were just deceived, bastard!"

"Ah! Jie, she's leaving!" Gojo Satoru pointed at her back and said, "Hurry up and catch up with her!"

This guy has learned to change the subject now.

Xia Yujie followed with resentment.

The two men chased to the end of the road, where there was a village that was neither too big nor too small, and it looked like it could accommodate about two to three hundred people.

It's incredible.

Xia Yujie looked at the village and for some reason, he felt very uncomfortable.

Maybe it was because of the different auras. Although it was my first time here, I had an urge to leave quickly.

"What is she doing here?" Gojo Satoru asked in confusion, "Visiting relatives?"

"It's more like looking for someone." Xia Youjie saw her holding someone, as if she was asking the other person about someone.

"The cangue field..." Xia Youjie listened carefully: "It seems to be called the cangue field or something."

When the other party heard the name, he shook his head, waved his hand and walked away, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with her.

I asked several people, but it seems like nothing happened.

She did not give up and continued searching along the road, looking very persistent.

"I understand." Gojo Satoru suddenly realized: "That person is not dead at all. This person named Jiachang is probably her boyfriend."

At first, Geto Xiayou didn't take Gojo Satoru's idea seriously, but when he analyzed it along his line of thought, it surprisingly made sense: "It's possible... isn't it?"

"Zenin-sensei was born in the Three Great Families, and that yoke was most likely an ordinary person. The two met many years ago, but the relationship was not tolerated by the Zenin family. After they were separated, the man left and the two completely lost contact."

"That's right." Gojo Satoru nodded affirmatively: "Until now, she still can't forget this person. She even regards us as him and eats meal replacements."

At this point, Gojo Satoru was still angry: "Damn it, she is too fickle, she actually regards a handsome man like me as a substitute!"

Xia Youjie ignored his emotions and continued to analyze: "So the first thing she did after leaving the Zenin family and joining the high school was to find her long-lost lover."

"Well, that's about it." Xia Youjie made the final conclusion: "Then as long as we find this man called Jiachang, everything will be revealed."

Ieiri Naoko, who had been silent on the phone, said: “…”

Is this really the case? Isn't this too much?

Nothing feels right no matter how you think about it.

*

There is one thing that has been bothering me recently.

It was not until one day after I met Tsu Miki's mother that I suddenly remembered it.

About the whereabouts of Mimiko and Nanako.

If we follow the timeline, it would take a year for Geto to discover that they were being locked up and abused in a small mountain village.

So they are still suffering somewhere now.

Now that you've thought of it, you can't just leave it alone, right?

In short, I have to think of a way to rescue them first.

"I can't find any information about these two people." Kong Shiyu said on the phone.

"What? Why can't you find anything?" I asked him, "Weren't you a policeman before?"

"How did you know? ... Forget it, let's not talk about this." Kong Shiyu said: "Do you think I'm a god? Can I find out everything?"

"Well... you are really amazing."

I was able to get an identity that suits me in a short period of time. Even though I was photoshopped to the point where I would be buried in the next second, it is still very impressive.

"Haha, it's useless even if you flatter me." After being complimented, he did sound a lot happier, but he still said, "I can't find it, I can't find it."

"Under what circumstances would it be impossible to find this person's information?" I asked.

"Maybe it's not his real name, or maybe it was called this name before, but he has changed it now. Anyway, there are many possibilities."

"You can rest assured about this. It is definitely a real name."

"Then there is only one other possibility." Kong Shiyu analyzed: "Their names and identities have not been registered in the system. Perhaps they live in a remote mountainous area, and the information is delayed to the point where it has not been entered into the computer."

Considering how corrupt the village and its villagers were when Geto Suguru ran into them, it wasn't that surprising.

But in this way, the efficiency of finding people will be much lower.

The longer they delay, the more torture they will suffer.

"Ah..." I sighed deeply. "Then can you send me some information about villages near Tokyo that have not been entered into the computer and may still have the surname Jiachang?"

"Ah..." Kong Shiyu said, "Although the surname Jiachang is not very common, it does exist. It's a big place, and it's very difficult to screen the information. You know what I mean, right?"

"I know." I said expressionlessly, "I won't give you a penny less than what you deserve."

Damn it, all the money I paid him was the hard-earned money I earned from coaching Nozomi and the others... and from fighting Gojo Satoru and Geto!

"By the way, you won't tell Shier about this, right?"

It doesn't matter if you tell him.

With his personality that is only attracted by money, he probably has no interest in who I look for or who I go to meet.

“Don’t worry.” Kong Shiyu said, “You are you, and your Onii-chan is your Onii-chan. I won’t confuse them. If you don’t keep your mouth shut in this business, you’ll die faster than anyone else.”

Hiss... He definitely did it on purpose.

I said with a dark face: "I say, can you please stop yelling like that?"

Using "Onii-chan" to describe Shin'er, people who don't know would think we have a very friendly relationship as brothers and sisters.

I got goosebumps all over my body.
