It must be said that Gojo Satoru's analysis was very reasonable and assertive. Hisagi, on the other hand, had acted strangely, clearly hiding his power for some reason, and now that he had been discovered, his true intentions should be revealed somehow.
Having attracted the attention of someone so powerful, Hisagi knew that Gojo had likely sensed his reiatsu in the area where he had fought the Intermediate Hollow.
"I was at the school tonight because during my investigation, I discovered that specific location might be connected to the abduction of a woman." Hisagi pointed to a distant chalkboard containing details from the investigation.
He was intelligent, knowing when and how to use his words, so without truly fearing the man with the bandaged eyes, he said, "Besides, I don't know if there's a way to make cursed spirits appear during the day, so I had to wait until nightfall for the anomaly to reveal itself and eliminate it."
"If you're wondering why I didn't return to the school to ensure all the cursed spirits were eradicated, first of all, I knew that three Jujutsu sorcerers had arrived after me. Most of the strongest cursed spirits were slain by me, so their job was considerably easier, and I trusted them to finish it."
"Secondly, when I wanted to go back, there seemed to be a black dome over the school, and knowing it was some type of barrier, I thought it would be pointless to involve myself further, especially since I was mentally exhausted."
Hisagi was very transparent with his words, responding truthfully and with what he thought would happen, without mentioning his intent to distance himself from the high school after eliminating the Intermediate Hollow.
Of course, there was more he didn't want to reveal, as it wasn't his intention, nor was he obliged to do so. Gojo Satoru, satisfied with the answer, approached Hisagi from the floor, removing the white cloth covering his eyes, which seemed to see everything.
"Haha... relax; no need to be so nervous. By the way, the food you offered me was delightful." Gojo Satoru suddenly smiled, giving Hisagi a pat on the shoulder. He pulled out a note from his bag, placed it on the table, and then walked toward the door, saying, "You've answered well. Wait for me at this location in a week, and I'll come to pick you up to take you to the sorcery school."
"I don't think I need to learn much." Hisagi thought he had already mastered most of the general knowledge.
"In that, you're right. Your abilities are necessary. Your world can expand, and you won't have to hide your true strength."
Hisagi watched Gojo Satoru leave, but Gojo never doubted his words and simply handed him this note.
The note on the table was picked up. It listed an address in Tokyo, seemingly the meeting place where Gojo wanted him to be.
"This is really strange... It seems his intentions are to recruit me for the Jujutsu school... This was faster and easier than I expected." Hisagi had thought he wouldn't be able to attend the Jujutsu school, but the outcome surpassed his expectations.
Thinking about this, he imagined what would happen at that place. Now that he considered it, he wouldn't ignore the work they were doing here since having an external source of information was certainly not a bad thing.
There were many more things in the world besides cursed spirits. Yokai, for example, were one of the things that intrigued Hisagi the most at the moment.
But he knew he shouldn't rush. If he did, he wouldn't know where to take control of his own path.
A few hours later, Hisagi saw Aoki arrive and told him everything that had happened.
"So, you've been invited to the Jujutsu school?"
"That's what happened," said Hisagi, who was reclining on a couch, analyzing his possibilities.
Aoki had anticipated this, so he asked, "What will we do then?"
"I don't think I'll spend much time in that place. Once I finish gathering the missing data from our research, we'll continue working here in secret." Hisagi's plan was to gather information and create his own personal source of wealth.
He had a problem if he didn't keep some level of vigilance over everything around him. That was normal, in his case, and he also needed to gather more information about Yokai.
Aoki was the one gathering information, so any anomaly related to this group or entity of people would be reported to him.
The sorcerers were strong, but the Yokai had unique and special abilities that could save his life.
...
A few days later, outside the building, paranormal things were happening.
As nightfall approached, it was time for the office workers to leave their jobs, and he would soon visit that halted construction site.
Hisagi stood in front of a massive building. This was a large company with a lot of history. This company often displayed supernatural phenomena.
The purpose of coming this time was, of course, to see what supernatural force was affecting things here and then eliminate it.
Many residents around this company were aware of the events that had occurred before, but the problem was isolated to this area, and no one paid attention to this more distant location.
Moreover, Hisagi still didn't understand why no one had addressed this problem when it had been affecting people in this place for so long.
Right now, Hisagi casually asked a few people and obtained the result he wanted.
This is indeed a major construction company that manages large-scale employees at all times. But no one knows exactly when things started happening, although many employees had certainly died.
However, the forensic report stated that they died from overwork, which was sudden death due to staying up all night.
This result seemed reasonable to everyone. After all, it's not uncommon for young people to suddenly die after staying up late at the companies they work for. Those young people who eat, drink, and have fun every day with beer and barbecue die from staying up all night.
And these young people who work at the company, having dedicated their lives to their jobs, do the same.
To outsiders, this matter doesn't seem particularly spiritual. After all, staying up late and working overtime will cause death if the body can't handle it.
It's the same truth as people being killed.
However, this company has too many people dying from overtime work each year—nearly three or four per month. That number is quite high for a company with several thousand workers.
Hisagi stood below and observed for a while. As he thought, it had been more than half an hour since the end of the workday. However, only a few people left the company while the others stayed to work overtime.
Why is that?
Hisagi had to enter the company if he wanted to find the truth. As soon as he entered, a strange feeling of depression arose in his heart.
It seems that just by entering this building, people would feel uncomfortable.
Even if he wasn't an employee here, he could walk around freely. The company's CEO was very polite to anyone who wanted to see the office environment. He always wanted to showcase the hard work of his employees and seemed very proud of it.
Among companies, those bosses admired him greatly because there were many young people working hard to make money.
This kind of spirit is admirable, but to Hisagi's eyes, these overtime workers were gravely ill.
"Well, if I can't find anything, maybe this will work." Hisagi held a silver coin, which, supposedly, once broken, could attract all the cursed spirits in the area.
