Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 341 Consultant
"broken."

When Yuji Itadori learned that the recently popular program crew planned to shoot their new program here and that the target also overlapped with his mission target, he knew that things were going to be troublesome.

This is not just a news media with a few words, but a phenomenal program that is watched by countless people across the country. If they had come earlier, wouldn't they have been cursed?
Although this program is in filmed mode rather than live broadcast, if something happened to these people here, how big a sensation would it cause?
Ordinary curse missions can avoid the eyes and ears of ordinary people because of the existence of the account and the overlapping of high-level curse masters with some chaebol forces in the real world. The situation in Neon is very similar to that of the small country next door, but it is a little better.

However, the chaebols here have a huge say, and considering the complicated connections behind the sorcery world, the country's say is truly controlled by the 'shadow', which is why the existence of sorcery can be so perfectly concealed.

However, the premise of all this is abnormal information in a small range. The magic world conceals the existence of magic by relying on information control, not some black technology or magic that can erase other people's memories at will.

This is also the reason why highly harmful curses, such as some special-grade cursed spirits, need to be exorcised as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the harm of the curse reaches the scope of a city, no matter how powerful the financial tycoons controlled by the sorcerers are, they will not be able to stop the public from talking.

This program group is in a similar situation. Their popularity is so high that, to some extent, this program has made several previous filming locations popular. Many people learned about those obscure ancient ruins from this program.

Many of those places have even become Internet celebrity spots. As long as they are not particularly remote, many people from nearby or even far away will come to check in after the show is broadcast.

The copyright of the program has even been sold abroad, and a replica version will be made and released overseas soon. You can imagine how eye-catching such a program will be. If something unexpected happens to them, you know, it is not uncommon for people to die in curse incidents.

If it were an ordinary person, the relevant parties could claim it was an accidental death, and then go through formal channels to compensate the family of the deceased. But if these stars died in such a place, would their fans believe that it was an accidental death?

The death of Michael Jackson, once the king of pop, has caused countless fans to speculate on conspiracy theories that continue to this day. Of course, the "odd-sounding" Ena Kamiyama and Seiji Ishizaki have not yet become world-famous.

But in the circle in the East, they, especially the former, are still well-known. They make programs about ancient ruins and exploring ghost legends, and then die unexpectedly on the way. Even Yuji, who doesn't care about entertainment, can imagine how big a sensation this gimmick will cause.

After hemming and hawing to the people from the program crew, Yuji hurriedly made a phone call to Kamiganoichi who assigned him this mission. After listening to Yuji's report, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone before he gave him new instructions.

……

"Genichi, I guess what you mean is, this is a good opportunity, right?"

Gojo Satoru was sitting opposite Shingen with his legs crossed. After hearing what happened from Yuji, the smile he showed was almost identical to Shingen's.

Like Kamiganichi, Gojo Satoru's first thought was not to find a way to stop the filming of the program to prevent a hot topic of this magnitude from being involved in a curse, although it seemed that the power behind the program and the TV station was a new generation of chaebols, and their connection with the world of curse was not deep enough.

But it would not be difficult to just ask them to interrupt a program or move to another place temporarily, as long as they offer some benefits in exchange.

But as Gojo Satoru said, they both thought this was a good opportunity, a chance to gradually let spells appear in front of more people.

Moreover, the curse cannot be filmed by technological creations. The Curse High Exchange Conference can play the live scene on the screen, which is also done by Mingming for "broadcasting", so there is no need to worry about the curse appearing in the public eye and causing too much impact. However, the details may still require their control.

"Are you going or am I going?"

Shen Yuanyi thought for a moment and gave another answer: "Originally, Jie should have gone, but he's been very busy recently. So I'll go this time, but I have to control everything from behind the scenes. Itadori alone doesn't seem to be enough to go in public. Do you think we should send Otsutsuki?"

Gojo Satoru thought for a moment and gave his answer: "Then let's go with Hui. Otsutsuki has grown well enough, but Hui still lacks this kind of experience. Anyway, you are here, so why not treat this as an opportunity for training."

The reason why Geto Suguru is the most suitable person is that there are too many cursed spirits controlled by his techniques. Even if we only count the cursed spirits with techniques, it is still a considerable number. Therefore, it is most appropriate for him to deal with such things that may cause complicated situations.

But since he is busy with other things, it is not impossible for Shenyuan to go. The Wheel of Time can also allow him to deal with emergencies easily. As for the reason for letting Zenin Keiya go, it is even simpler.

Regarding the future of public sorcery, Gojo Satoru, Kamiganichi and others all have a consensus, that is, everything in the future still depends on the generation of Otsutsuki and Megumi, and they are not doing all this for the sake of temporary changes.

They are planning for tens or hundreds of years, and no one knows how the magic will develop in the future, but it is foreseeable that it will not be limited to one place or one era. Shenyuanyi and Gojo Satoru are both developing a habit of inheritance.

The world and the times will change because of an individual, but if we want to move in a better direction for hundreds of years or even longer, it is impossible to rely on a very small number of individuals.

Even though Shen Genyi has the power to reverse life and death, people who know him best, like Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, have never said that they want to use Shen Genyi's power to prolong their lives.

They just need to do what they are supposed to do, and the new generation will naturally take care of the future's work. Even if they fail or take the wrong path along the way, we should believe in the education we give them and believe that these young people will do better.

The young phoenix is ​​clearer than the old phoenix.

"Hello, this is my ID."

The director of the program "Strange Stories" looked at the young man in front of him with a confused look on his face. The man was qualified to be the male lead of their program, no, he should be the most popular idol drama actor today. The young man handed him a certificate.

He had never heard of the name of the department on it, but the stamp made it look serious. However, what made him take it so seriously and even feel a little nervous was not the certificate, but the Chief Superintendent of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Masato Shiga, who was following behind the young man.

It seems that they are all led by this young man named Shen Yuanyi. To be able to do this, the director certainly cannot be completely ignorant of this. The Superintendent of Police! Not to mention him, even if the director of their TV station comes, he must be treated with respect.

The super high-level leaders of this police department may seem unrelated to the media work of their TV station, but the story behind it is not that simple. Their intricate and tangled relationships like roots always involve many things.

Such a big shot-level figure is not someone he or the people behind him can easily offend, and now the role of the Superintendent of Police seems to be just an endorsement, which means something even more terrifying.

"May I ask what instructions you have for your visit?"

Shen Yuanyi smiled slightly, knowing that the director was overthinking, but it was a blessing in disguise. People at the level of the Superintendent of Police were certainly not so worthless, although Shen Yuanyi didn't think so. However, the reason why Shiga Masato came here was not just to endorse Shen Yuanyi and his team. In fact, the Superintendent of Police knew very little. He only knew that Shen Yuanyi was the person sent by the other side to take full charge of this incident, and his power was so great that even the people behind him had solemnly warned him many times.

In addition, there was another reason why he came here in person, which was the collision between the curse incident here and the program "Strange Stories", as well as... those meanings revealed explicitly or implicitly.

The first thing he did was not to block the information here, but to explain that there would be a special privileged person who would handle the matter with full authority. He was the Chief Superintendent of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the highest position in the national police department.

How could Masato Shiga not know the existence of curses? After all, how could the police department not be involved in the investigation results of things like the natural gas pipeline explosion? In fact, there really is a special department that specifically handles the follow-up of such incidents, and it is directly commanded by Masato Shiga.

It's just that he has met a real special treatment personnel now. Of course, Shiga Masato doesn't care about these. What makes him run around for this is the abnormal situation. Special events have always needed to be covered up from the public. This is a common practice that he only knows the facts but not the reasons.

But now it seems that there will be a change. Is it not going to be concealed and is preparing to gradually disclose it to the society? What kind of impact will it cause and what kind of unrest will it cause? As the Superintendent of Police, he immediately thought a lot.

But he soon realized that all his thinking was in vain, because such matters would naturally be decided and handled by big shots. Yes, in the eyes of countless people he was already a big shot, but in Shiga Masato's eyes, the real big shots were those who almost never appeared in the public eye.

Since he couldn't decide these things, Shiga Masato began to think about another thing: If the higher-ups really intended to make it public, then the world in the future would definitely undergo tremendous changes. Even he would have to go with the flow of this wave of changing times.

But one has to go with the flow, and after a brief thought, Shiga Masato decided to let go of those meaningless things and deeply participate in this extremely rare opportunity. You know, if the place where the incident happened was not far from Tokyo, and he often appeared on TV and was highly recognizable, it might not even be his turn.

So Shiga Masato came to the scene in person, led by this young man who looked too young and handsome. If he just needed to prove this man's identity, he had many other ways to do it. Being there in person was just because of his keen sense of smell.

How could Kamiganichi not see what Shiga Masato was thinking? However, this was exactly what he wanted. In the past, he had chosen to maintain the rules to hide the spells because of the established rules, but now, as the wind had changed, they could become helpers in gradually revealing the spells.

These people are really qualified as tools, and there is nothing surprising about the fact that they do this for profit. People are always profit-seeking, and saints who sacrifice themselves for others are praised precisely because they are so rare.

Isn't it normal to work hard, achieve results, and then get benefits in return? As for those who grab too much, it can only be said that they are greedy and will have to spit it out sooner or later.

"My name is Shen Yuanyi. You don't need to know more details. The reason I came here is because the filming of your show here involves some things."

When the director heard that this involved the best card in his hand, which might also bring him to a higher position, he panicked as he had long been intimidated by the opponent's lineup. However, he quickly realized that the problem was not with his program, but with this place as the shooting location.

"You mean... we need to stop filming here?"

If this is the case, although it is very troublesome, they are not unprepared for the temporary switch to an alternative plan, but the shooting of such a program will inevitably be rushed, and the effect will naturally be greatly reduced. It is hard to say to what extent it will affect the program, but he cannot accept it, compared with the result that the program as a whole may be banned.

Shen Yuanyi put on a reassuring smile: "No, there is no need to stop filming, but I will serve as your special consultant for this filming..."

……

"Mei, you're here. I think I saw Mr. Genichi as well."

"Ah."

The silent Hui simply responded, not that there was anything wrong with it, but he was just a rather cold person, especially when there were other strangers around.

"Isn't this the star that my mother always talks about? Do you want to ask for his autograph and then go to make my mother happy?"

This thought flashed through his mind, and Zenin Hui then turned his attention back to their important goal.

"Tiger Head, come with me."

After the two left, Kamiyama Ena, who had some free time because the show was temporarily suspended, became quite curious about this.

"Uncle, where do you think these people come from? Look at that guy over there, he seems to be more handsome than you when you were young, his hair is dyed in such a bright color, do you think he wears colored contact lenses or is he mixed-race? But his face doesn't look Western..."

Kamiyama Ena's curious chatter did not seem to be on the same wavelength as Ishizaki Seiji. Compared to the man's appearance, the latter was more concerned about the director who looked respectful and the police officer who seemed to be a big shot.

"Ena, you have to be more careful later. The guy over there seems to be the Superintendent of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but he is mainly concerned with that young man. The other party must be someone powerful. If you have a chance to speak later, don't say anything."

Seiji Yamazaki knew Ena Kamiyama's character. Her good family background allowed her to be naive in her own small circle, but in front of real big shots, that kind of naivety might turn into an offense.

Colleagues and audiences will forgive her and even like her more because of her beauty and affection, but such mysterious big shots have to be careful because they cannot afford even the smallest bad consequences.

"Know it."

Ena Kamiyama has become much more restrained and well-behaved. She is not a stubborn and ungrateful fool. She is a little erratic at times but that is just her personality. She has been in the entertainment industry for so long and has not been involved in any bad news except for the dirty water thrown at her by others. A big part of the reason for this is that she is not stupid enough to do stupid things.

"Director, what happened? Our show..."

The director waved his hand, but his expression was a little strange: "It's nothing, the filming of the program will proceed as usual. This is our new special consultant, he will be responsible for providing corresponding guidance for the filming of this program."

"Hello, I am Shen Yuanyi."

Kamiyama Ena blinked. She found that when they looked at each other up close, especially when the other person smiled, the charm seemed even more obvious.
