The intention is like that joke, where combining the wealth of Ma **, Wang **, and Li **, it's said to be enough to shake all of Asia. Honestly, whether "I" am included in this or not doesn't really matter. So that was his point at the time, that Ah Xiu and himself together could sweep the world…
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Gu Mo clicked in and found that it wasn't a coincidence. It was precisely an update posted last night by his account on a certain video sharing site, likely due to the power of the idiotic system. But just like his account, which was lifeless, the video was also lukewarm due to the lack of any buzz.
There were only a few comments, and the view count was still not even in the triple digits, as dismal as always.
"What a real-world truth..."
Gu Mo raised his eyebrows, feeling a burden lifted from his heart, but he didn't feel at ease. Instead, he continued to stubbornly search and browse online.
After half an hour, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yet, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. He opened and rechecked the system's log records; it seemed indeed correct. The number appearing here was that of the magnitude, a staggering 27,000+ sending targets.
But he could only find the sole update channel under his name, and there was no other push or buzz online. No other channels could be found... Where did so many sending coordinates come from, and why didn't even a bubble appear?
Sent into the void, where on earth was it sent... or did the half-night process stall, ultimately causing most to fail to send?
Gu Mo furrowed his brows, feeling quite baffled.
...
...
Maybe it's a story that occurs at different times, in different worlds.
"Still not right, not these either. They look suspicious, but it definitely can't be them..."
The man, with striking white hair and a black blindfold, sighed and tossed a thick stack of documents on the table.
Since that night's incident until now, some time has passed, and the mysterious person has not reappeared.
But Gojo Satoru didn't let his guard down. During this time, he'd been investigating the matter, basically turning the whole Curse Realm upside down. He investigated every registered and unregistered, documented and wild Curse Master or anything related, yet the result was disappointing.
"Really strange, could it truly be some super old Demon that no one knows, or simply a new rising star that appeared out of nowhere, with no process of rising in between? Otherwise, logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible to not find a shred of fame or trace."
Gojo Satoru was mentally prepared for not being able to easily catch that person. However, he'd already exhausted all efforts, looked everywhere possible, yet not even a single clue could be found, which was somewhat alarming.
Either the person is hiding too well, or they don't exist at all. Only these two explanations, but either one is extremely frightening because too much could be inferred from behind them.
Just at this moment, the phone rang.
The blindfolded man made a gesture as if he looked at it, then casually picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, and leisurely leaned back against the chair back, with both feet on the front desk—
"Moshi moshi, my dear student, what brings you to call your teacher? Is there something up?"
"Teacher... I... It seems Yuji might have discovered some clues about the mysterious person from that night." The voice of Megumi Fushiguro came from the other side of the phone, with an odd tinge to his steady tone.
"Hmm?"
Gojo Satoru uttered a rising-toned hmm, furrowing his brows, with his tone no longer so flippant and friendly: "You guys went to investigate this matter? Didn't I tell you not to interfere? That person might be very dangerous, not something you can handle right now..."
"No, Teacher, we didn't go to investigate this matter."
Megumi Fushiguro emphasized with a heavier tone: "We just happened to come across the clue by accident, Yuji just happened to see..."
"Came across by accident? Just happened to see?" Gojo Satoru suddenly found it a bit amusing, "How does one accidentally discover something, did he happen to get on TV, and you guys saw it?"
All this time, I've been investigating, having searched through the whole Curse Realm, yet there hasn't been a hint. My two students, without actively investigating, just happened to stumble upon a clue? Is this an anime plot unfolding?
If you're going to give a reason, at least make it somewhat believable; such an utterly unconvincing excuse is too clumsy.
"..."
"..."
"Why aren't you speaking all of a sudden?" Gojo Satoru lazily yawned, listening to his student's silent breaths over the phone.
"Although… it's not that the person was on TV, but it feels similar..." Megumi Fushiguro seemed to struggle to speak, as if not knowing how to explain this matter, "Teacher, can you get online right now? You should search for the recent TV anime broadcasts on Kyoto Television..."
"Huh? Why should I watch that?"
"It's the latest Warring States-themed one, already up to the fourth episode..."
Megumi Fushiguro ignored his teacher, continuing to speak on his own, while his tone became very peculiar: "I don't know if this is a coincidence, but this is really bizarre, and indeed too ridiculous. That person... that person seems to be a character from an anime..."
