Chapter 77 Investment

"This is the truth about the space sandwich theory and the world... and the truth about the reappearance of Ryoumen Sukuna..."

In the forest outside the city, the masked man waved a wooden stick lightly, sketched a "teaching diagram" on the ground, and then casually threw the stick aside.

Yamagami Tetsuya squatted and listened attentively to the masked man's story. When he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand and stroked his chin, savoring the other person's words carefully and thinking about them over and over again.

So that's how it is. Most of the gods in this world exist in the realm of gods, while the human world basically only has beings of average strength and sealed monsters.

This was the case with Ryomen Sukuna. After he was defeated by people sent by Emperor Nintoku, his body was cut into pieces and sealed, and was separately supervised by many of the top priests and monks of the time to prevent him from causing trouble again.

The high priests and the descendants of the high monks who should have fully understood Ryoumen Sukuna were influenced by the history books of the past and forgot their responsibilities.

Due to lax supervision, Ryomen Sukuna's fingers gradually began to disappear.

"But the finger has been missing for a long time? It should be difficult to collect it, right?"

Yamagami Tetsuya raised his head and heard what the other party said. Although he still longed for the power of the finger, he gradually gave up the idea of ​​actively looking for the finger.

At that time, after obtaining a finger, he could fight head-on with the SAT team.

And after getting the second finger, he could even fight back and forth with the military.

One more ability means one more path, and compound abilities are not as simple as one plus one equals two.

[Martial Arts][Physical Strengthening][Anger]

The more abilities one has, the easier it is to produce a chemical reaction. After he obtains [Physical Strengthening], he can feel that his strength has been improved in all aspects once again.

Only with strength as a guarantee can one successfully carry out one's will.

"It was actually quite smooth for me. After all, those who were stronger than Ryoumen Sukuna stayed in the heavens, and most of the guys who needed his power couldn't leave the mezzanine and come to the human world at will!"

"The only thing that can easily come to the human world is the spatial ability, and the spatial ability is not common, not to mention finding the two-faced Sukuna fingers in the vast sea of ​​people!"

"I was able to take advantage of my quickness. The first thing I did when I arrived in the human world was to visit famous high priests and temples in Neon Country, and I easily collected five fingers."

"Of course, I don't know if there are other beings who are collecting Sukuna's fingers."

Hearing that the other party still had some fingers left, Yamagami Tetsuya was eager to improve his strength and blurted out what he wanted impulsively.

"I think my body has reached a point where it can handle it. Would you consider investing in me one more finger?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized his abruptness. The masked man sneered, and his laughter echoed among the mountains and forests.

Yamagami Tetsuya was embarrassed, but he quickly thought of a way to change the subject, but the masked man's slightly teasing voice got there first.

"Of course you can, as long as you are not afraid that your body will collapse because it cannot withstand this force!"

Yamagami Tetsuya was shocked and surprised when he heard this: "Is it true?"

"I believe in your potential, so consider it as another investment in you!"

Before he finished speaking, the masked man took out a finger from his arms and threw it lightly. It drew an arc in the air and fell accurately into the outstretched palm of Yamagami Tetsuya.

"But let me be frank with you. With your current strength, you are still unable to completely digest this finger. Don't covet the finger anymore. Before you achieve a bigger breakthrough, three fingers are your limit!"

Yamagami Tetsuya looked at the fingers in his hand and nodded to the masked man. He didn't expect that he could pull out another one from the other person so easily.

As for running away with the money? He wasn't that stupid. Where could he find such a generous organization? And he was also deeply impressed by the strange control ability of the masked man that day.

Not to mention the opponent's [spatial ability].

"Let's get back to the topic. Your exploration in Yamaguchi Prefecture is coming to an end, right?" The masked man changed the subject and brought the conversation back on track.

Upon hearing this, Yamagami Tetsuya's face froze and he quickly took out the map with many locations marked on it from his arms. His eyes swept across the densely packed circles and finally stopped at a blank space.

"Indeed, we have visited most places, and only Taichi City is left."

Saburo Aoki's hometown is Taiji City, Yamaguchi Prefecture to be exact.

Is it really such a coincidence? I thought we were in the same county, but how could we narrow it down to a city?

"In that case, I will not delay any longer and will set off immediately to continue the search."

Yamagami Tetsuya said goodbye to the masked man and turned to leave, but then he seemed to remember something and turned back slightly embarrassedly.

Just as he was hesitating about how to start, a pitch-black magatama flew through the air and landed steadily in his palm.

“Remember to use it with care, it’s not easy to make.”

"clear!"

Looking at the magatama in his hand, Yamagami Zheya was full of confidence.

With magatama in hand, there is no place in the world that you cannot go.

【Taiji City, Yamaguchi Prefecture】

The sea surface was dyed an ominous bright red. A dolphin was struggling helplessly in the waves. Every stroke of its stroke seemed so pale and weak.

Not far away, on several small boats, fishermen wearing heavy protective clothing and holding sharp spears.

Their movements were skillful and cruel, and every swing of the spear was accompanied by the mournful cry of dolphins.

Of course, they are not in a hurry to end the lives of dolphins, but choose to seriously injure them and let them slowly die in pain, because this method is more labor-saving and efficient for them.

The dolphins fell one by one, their cries echoed in the sea breeze, but they did not get any mercy.

One, two... More and more dolphins were severely injured and could only drift helplessly in the bloody sea.

"Adu, hurry up! There's still a fish that has escaped the net over there!"

"Got it, watch me!"

The fisherman, known only as Adu, quickly spotted a dolphin entangled in a fishing net.

Adu raised his spear high and then suddenly stabbed it into the dolphin's head. With the dolphin's shrill scream, the spear ruthlessly penetrated its body until it touched the reef below.

Blood flowed from the dolphin's head like a fountain, dyeing the surrounding sea red.

Adu drew out his spear expressionlessly, turned to his companions and said, "Next!"

On the sea, fishermen on several small boats were busy using sonar to drive dolphins deeper into the bay.

A young dolphin, with a long trail of blood on its body, tried to escape from this land of death, but its body, weakened by excessive blood loss, could only float on the sea with difficulty, and ultimately could not escape the fate of being imprisoned.

"Haha, look at that idiot, he doesn't even know he's been caught in the net!"

"Tsk, tsk, what a great harvest this year! There are so many dolphins..."

"Huh? Why is there fog on the sea?"
