Bald cape conjurer

"This is really... tragic..."

Outside an alley in Shinjuku, Tokyo, the lights on the top of the police car flickered rapidly. The police pulled up a bright yellow warning line at the entrance of the alley, which was still clear at night, but cautiously stayed outside the yellow line.

Within the yellow line, there were two figures not wearing police uniforms.One of the unremarkable office workers with narrow cheeks and glasses was recording something with a tablet in his hand, while the other silver-haired man wearing a black eyepatch was curiously looking up and down the wall of the alley, and occasionally A small exclamation.

"Wow...it looks really messed up..."

"Oh, it was smashed directly..."

"Please don't patronize and sigh, Mr. Gojo. The current situation is really too rare." The middle-aged man with glasses, Yiji Jie Gao, said tremblingly, wanting to stop the silver-haired blindfold, but dared not, "according to the filthy Judging, the one who was killed in the alley was an unregistered super magic spirit..."

"So? What do you want to say, Yizhi?" Gojo Satoru still looked around with great interest.

"Recently this kind of incident happened continuously. The ones who were killed by the mysterious people were first the low-level third- and fourth-level magic spirits, and then the first- and second-level ones, and they were all solved before the assigned magicians arrived. At the same time, the mysterious people did not Leave any traces at the scene..."

Yidizhi Jiegao hugged the tablet in his hand uneasily, and looked around subconsciously, "Then we came to the special level, which is the unregistered special level spell spirit that can only be solved by assigning a special level magician according to the information... "

"And judging from the filth at the scene, everything was resolved with one blow."

Gojo Satoru straightened up, turned around suddenly, and interrupted Ichiko's words with a relaxed smile: "The same goes for the unregistered special class this time."

Yidizhi Jiegao couldn't help but trembled, and spoke cautiously.

"According to the latest situation this time, it can be inferred that the mysterious conjurer who can kill a super-level curse spirit in one blow is at least a super-level."

"Who is the person who killed so many curse spirits?"

……

Beyond the yellow line, Takagi Tsubasa, a policeman from the First Search Section of the Metropolitan Police Department, just rushed to the scene.

Standing outside the yellow line, he looked at Gojo Satoru who was looking left and right in the alley with some puzzlement. After a while, he turned around and asked with some hesitation: "Where... is that person in there observing?" What is the situation at the scene? But he is clearly still wearing a blindfold..."

Gojo Satoru is very tall, at least 1.9 meters tall, and his body proportions are quite superior. You can tell he is a handsome guy just by looking at the lower half of his face, but his temperament seems a bit frivolous.Feeling is the charming type, completely opposite to the serious type who works hard.

Takagi She didn't know why such a person was allowed to enter when the police were not allowed to enter the yellow line, and looked around casually.

Just as he was wondering, the fat police officer in a camel windbreaker patted his shoulder from behind and lowered his voice: "Because he doesn't see with 'eyes' like ours..."

"Officer Mumu, what do you mean?" Gao Mushe turned his head and recognized his boss Mumu Shisan, and couldn't help asking in puzzlement.

"...Those people are masters who specialize in solving 'abnormal incidents' that we cannot solve." Mu Mushisan stroked the beard on his lips, shook his head and said, "Takagi, this is not something we can intervene in. Help them as much as you can."

The two were talking in a low voice, but the two people in the alley seemed to have completed all the investigation procedures and walked towards the outside of the alley.

"There's no problem anymore." Yidizhi Jiegao said to Mumu Shisan with a straight look, "It doesn't matter if the cordon is removed later."

"Oh, is that so? Thank you." Mu Mu Shisan nodded.Afterwards, he remembered Gao Mushe who had just arrived, and quickly introduced, "This is also a police officer from the first search section, Gao Mushe. If there is an emergency and you can't contact me, you can also contact him."

Afterwards, he introduced the two opposite people to Takagi Shepherd: "The silver-haired one is Mr. Gojo Satoru, a special-level conjurer, and the other is Mr. Ijiji Kiyoko, the assistant supervisor."

"Conjurer?" Hearing this term for the first time, Gao Mushe was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately stretched out his hand, "Sorry, I'm sorry."

"Ah, it's okay." Gojo Satoru replied with a smile, and then took Takagi She's hand.Even though he was wearing a blindfold, he accurately found the position of Takagi Shepherd's hand without any hesitation.

At that moment, Takagi She suddenly remembered what Mumu Shisan said just now.

This person does not see things with the "eyes" of ordinary people.

"Ah, by the way, Takagi-kun," Takagi She was still thinking about this matter, Gojo Satoru suddenly came over and asked familiarly, "Is there a camera in this alley?"

Following the direction of Gojo Satoru's fingers, Takagi Wataru saw a black camera on the wall flickering faintly.

"Ah, there just happened to be a camera this time!" Yidizhi Jiegao let out a low exclamation, "Maybe this time, we can capture the person who solved the special level..."

"Then, please take us to watch the video recorded by this camera in the past half an hour." Gojo Satoru said as a matter of course.

A small conference room somewhere in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

The curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows were pulled down, and the room was dark.Takagi was using the laptop in front of him to play the content recorded by the camera in the alley, and then the projector projected it on the screen.

"There's nothing here." After staring at the nearly still video for more than ten minutes, Gao Mushe couldn't help but whisper, "Will the video record the prisoner?"

"Ah……"

Gojo Satoru leaned on the white chair in the conference room, and smiled when he heard this.But because he was wearing a blindfold, Takagi Wataru didn't know where he was looking.

"The video will not capture the prisoner. Because they are not human beings."

"Eh?"

Takagi Tsubasa looked bewildered.At this time, Mu Mu Shisan patted his arm beside him.

"Don't ask any more questions. After the end, I'll make up for you." The fat police officer said solemnly.

"Oh……"

The silence continued again.Takagi stared at the projected video in a daze with some numbness.But after a while, the image in the video suddenly changed.

In the corner of the screen, a shiny bald head suddenly appeared.

"Someone is here!" Gao Mushe cheered up, "Is he the prisoner?"

I saw the bald head in the picture walk from the corner of the image to the depths of the alley, and then looked up at something.

Takagi looked along the direction of the bald face, but he didn't see anything.

What is that bald head looking at?Thinking of this, Takagi She turned his eyes back and stared at the bald head in the picture.

However, in the next second, he suddenly felt the images around the bald head flash, as fast as he was dazzled.But if you look closely, the bald head is still standing there.

Is the camera malfunctioning?Gao Mushe was thinking like this, but the bald head suddenly turned around and left the alley calmly.

"..."

So it's just a normal bald guy passing by?

Gao Mushe was still thinking like this, but from the corner of his vision, he caught a glimpse of Gojo Satoru, who was sitting by the side just now, suddenly stood up, ran to his side, and rewound the video all the way back to when the bald head appeared.

"That's the guy just now. Could you please investigate his identity and tell me the information?" Gojo Satoru asked, pointing at the laptop screen.

"Huh?" Gao Mushe was taken aback, and asked quickly, "Is he the prisoner?"

Gojo Satoru was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "Hahaha, of course not. Didn't I say that the camera cannot reflect the prisoner's figure."

He pointed at the screen with his slender and strong fingers, and poked his fingertips unceremoniously at the bald head: "On the contrary, this head is the guy who solves the criminal."

Looking at Takagi who was confused, Gojo Satoru raised his hand and typed a few times on the laptop: "You don't quite understand what you just said, let the video prove it. Change it to play by frame, so that you should be able to watch arrive."

The video rewinds back to the time when the screen flashes again, and then jumps back frame by frame.In the case of frame-by-frame playback, the momentary flickering around the bald head in the screen finally became clear.

In the last frame, the bald head was still standing with his hands down, but in the next frame, his right hand suddenly lifted up, making a punching gesture in the air.Even if it is played by frame, in that frame, the bald hand is still too fast to become an afterimage.

The bald head in the third frame resumed his standing posture in the first frame, and stood there blankly.

After that it's nothing special.The bald head stood there for another two seconds, then turned around and walked out of the alley.

"This..." Gao Mushe was stunned, "You have to watch frame by frame to notice his movements..."

Realizing that the bald head in the video seems to have defeated something invisible in the air, Takagi's head went numb for a while.He immediately stood up, turned around and ran outside the meeting room: "I'm going to investigate his identity now!"

……

"Is this really good?" Yidizhi Jiegao tentatively asked while holding the steering wheel, "I found out his identity overnight, and then ran to block people or something early in the morning... Anyway, that's okay. A strong man who defeated a super-level curse spirit must not like being investigated so thoroughly..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Gojo Satoru, who was sitting in the co-pilot, replied with a relaxed smile, "If that person gets angry later, I'll tell him that it was Yiji's idea, and I don't know anything about it."

"Why...how is this! Why do you say such terrible things in such a refreshing and free tone! I will be beaten, like those cursed spirits who were eliminated with one blow..."

The road and buildings outside the car window passed by quickly, Gojo Satoru sat leisurely in the co-pilot seat, watching the scenery outside the car window, while Yiji Jiegao was still muttering uneasily.

"Ah, Mr. Wujo is bullying me? Is this workplace bullying? Is it workplace bullying!"

Suddenly, Gojo Satoru said briskly: "Turn right at the fork ahead to the end, and then stop."

The oppressed poor spectacled animal immediately turned into the right lane as instructed, then gradually slowed down and stopped at the end.

Appearing in front is a small supermarket that is loved by housewives just by looking at its appearance.Through the transparent automatic door, you can see the crowds in the supermarket, and there is an advertisement of "Today's Cabbage Special Offer" posted on the door.

"Is this here?...Eh, Gojo-san?"

Yidizhi Jiegao wanted to ask again, but Gojo Satoru had already opened the door and got out of the car.He also got out of the car in a hurry, locked the door and trotted after him.

Just as the two climbed up the steps at the entrance of the supermarket one after the other, there was a sudden "ding dong" sound from the automatic glass door, and it opened towards both sides.Then, a bald man in a plain white T-shirt and sweatpants came out of the door with a bag of cabbage in his hand.

"Ah! It's him!"

With just one glance, Yidizhi Jiegao recognized that the bald head in front of him was the person in the surveillance video, and subconsciously let out a loud voice that didn't match the persona: "That's the person!"

"what?"

The bald head was startled by Yidi Zhijie's high voice, raised his head, and looked at him with dull eyes.

——If you really want to say it, this is a bald man who doesn't look like a strong man at all.He has a silly face, doesn't look very smart, and his clothes are very ordinary.If it is placed in the comics, he is a passerby's face mixed in the crowd, a guy who can be drawn with stick figures.

Is this person... really a strong man who defeated the super magic spirit?

"That... are you the mysterious conjurer who defeated the special magic spirit?" Yidichi Jiegao asked hesitantly.

"Conjurer? What's that?"

The bald head scratched his head with his index finger in confusion, and then suddenly realized: "Ah, is this a parody show? Where is there a hidden cameraman?"

"Eh?"

"Sorry, I don't have time right now." The bald head continued, "In three minutes, I have to rush to the next discounted supermarket."
