Chapter 342 Success! Help from Tianyuan! ...

Tengen's evolution lasted a whole day and night without any other movement. Therefore, Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru were "forced" to leave the core area of ​​Xinggong due to a series of phone calls from Mr. Yaga. Only the player and Ieiri Shoko were left here quietly waiting for the result.

In such a large space, the banging sound was very obvious.

"Aurora, do you think that Master Tianyuan's evolution will be successful...wait a minute." Bored, Ieiri Naoko asked with invisible anxiety, but when she saw the black-haired girl not far away putting the cut tree roots into the bubbling pot, she couldn't help but twitched her lips fiercely.

"Aurora, what are you doing?"

"Hehe, I'm making food that might have special properties!" The player excitedly simmered the cauldron, constantly adding various ingredients. "It seems the tree roots here from Lady Tianyuan have been imbued with the aura of her barrier magic. Perhaps adding them in will have a special effect. I'm really excited!"

"I'm also planning to use this tree root to make other props!" The player pointed to the tree roots on the ground and laughed.

[Tree roots from Tengen's residence: As Japan's foremost barrier master, Tengen's barrier technique is known to all, and the tree roots growing at Tengen's residence seem to have become extraordinary because of this.]

Ieiri Glass: "..."

Naoko Ieiri opened her mouth, then slowly closed it, then stroked her forehead to express her helplessness - she said that she felt like there were a few missing roots on the tree on the ground, and it turned out that they were all cut off by Aurora.

"Don't worry, Glass, there are so many tree roots here, Lord Tianyuan. I only cut a little bit, it won't be a problem...!" Having said that, the player subconsciously aimed at the ground under his feet and cut off another piece of tree roots.

result……

The moment the knife was swung, the surrounding space began to tremble in waves, causing the player to unconsciously stop his movements and look at Ieiri Shoko stiffly.

Player: "No way..."

Is it really because players have cut too many pieces?

"No, it's not your fault, Aurora." Ieiri Naoko looked at the oval cocoon formed in mid-air after Tianyuan swallowed the colorful giant bead, her eyes slightly fixed. "It's Tianyuan-sama. Tianyuan-sama's evolution... seems to be bearing fruit."

The player was stunned and looked up subconsciously.

Sure enough, as soon as Ieiri Naoko finished speaking, several cracks appeared out of thin air on the long cocoon in the air. Then, the surrounding tree roots continued to rush towards Tianyuan, making a rustling sound.

Then, they continue to grow and entwine along the cocoon, weaving themselves into a neat and orderly long ladder that connects to the ground.

"So cool...Nano, how did you do that? Isn't Lord Tianyuan good at barrier techniques?" The player poked Nano, trying to find an answer.

And her own immortality technique can't achieve this effect...

"I don't know either...but whether Lord Tianyuan has evolved successfully, the result of this matter will be known soon." Ieiri Shoko replied in a low voice.

If the evolution is successful, the astral plasma will be completely liberated.

"You're right, Glass, but I think... we don't need to worry about this matter anymore." The player said this as he watched the long-haired woman descending step by step to the ground along the tree root stairs.

Obviously, Tian Yuan has recovered his youthful appearance——

————————

"How do you feel, Lord Tianyuan?" The player looked at the long-haired woman in kimono in front of him and blinked curiously.

"I still retain my humanity and possess rich emotions. And... perhaps I am now one step closer to achieving my goal." Tian Yuan looked at the flowers in his hand and smiled slightly. "Thank you for your help, time traveler."

"Although I don't know what kind of changes will happen to me in the future, I am now the me who has successfully evolved."

Time traveler, are you talking about Aurora?

Ieiri Naoko unconsciously turned her gaze to the black-haired girl beside her.

"Ah, I have my own selfish motives after all," the player said, shaking his hands. "But it would be great if it could evolve successfully. That way, I don't have to resort to Plan B!"

As for what plan B is... Tian Yuan doesn't care about it!

"I see, you have other plans... I'm really curious." Tian Yuan chuckled. "However, the power around you is still showing irregular rhythms. Is it okay? You may not stay here for long."

After her successful evolution, Tianyuan gained a new understanding of cursed power, and she was able to sense the heaven and earth better, and she also discovered that something was wrong with Aurora.

This time and space traveler who suddenly came to this world seemed to have been pulled by other worlds and began to prepare for his return.

"The omniscient magician is truly extraordinary."

If placed in the game, a long lifespan coupled with a powerful barrier technique... should be equivalent to a wise man.

In this case, it seems normal to be able to clearly discover the player's origins... just like a prophet like Luche.

"There's nothing we can do about it, and..."

Feeling the intense gaze coming from Ieiri Naoko's direction, the player paused, rubbing his hair in bewilderment, but still admitted honestly, "And my peers should have noticed something was amiss with me long ago—why they couldn't find out anything about my origins."

Ieiri Glass frowned and remained silent: "..."

"But it doesn't matter. Although time is limited, we will definitely defeat that guy named Nose!" The player hugged Glass and nuzzled her affectionately under her surprised gaze. "Because we are the strongest brain-catching team!"

"You must not forget what you promised us before evolving, Master Tianyuan~~"

"...I really lost to you, Aurora. I'll go contact Satoru and Geto." Ieiri Shoko rubbed the black-haired girl's head, then turned around and prepared to pick up the mobile phone on the table to contact Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru who were busy with the mission.

"Of course I won't forget." After Ieiri Naoko left, Tianyuan lowered his eyes and looked at Aurora. As she looked at him with increasing confusion, he continued, "But you... don't you want to stay here?"

"Here you have money, status... your career, and close friends. It's a perfect place for you, isn't it?"

There was a subtle hint of temptation in Tianyuan's tone, but the players didn't notice it.

"Does this mean you're trying to keep me?" The player lifted his bangs, half-covered his face, and sighed deeply, "Sure enough, outstanding people shine wherever they go!"

Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

"... Uh, well, there's nothing I can do about it." The player, docile under this loving gaze, spread his hands. "After all, the way I came to this world was basically being pelted with a bazooka. But maybe that's just fate."

I'm talking about you, Shoichi Irie. Players will never admit that they are wrong!

"Fate allowed me to meet them, and also revealed the dangers they face." The player looked at the three people not far away, their heads huddled together, doing something inexplicable. The corners of his lips curled slightly. "Besides, it's not without precedent... Maybe we'll have the chance to meet again in the future."

"..." Tian Yuan stared at the black-haired girl's back quietly for a long time. As if he had confirmed something, he smiled again. "I understand. According to our agreement, after you find the trace of the noose, I will take action when necessary to restrict his whereabouts."

"I will also try my best to help the victims of his illegal experiments."

"That would be great!" The player waved his hand and walked towards the direction where the brain-catching team gathered.

Tianyuan stood there, watching the direction she gradually left - there, there were three equally outstanding young people waiting for their partners to arrive.

Maybe this is youth...

For some reason, Tianyuan felt a rare sense of melancholy.

…

…

When the player approached, he found that the three people who were originally talking heatedly suddenly shut their mouths.

Player: “…”

The player's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"You guys...are you hiding something from me?" The player asked in a long tone, leaning forward to observe carefully, trying to find any flaws in these people.

"...We are actually thinking about how to catch the noose, right, Satoru!" After being secretly pushed by Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru's eyes twitched. He finally came up with an excuse and turned to point the finger at his best friend who had secretly harmed him.

"Yes, yes, Jie is right!" Gojo Satoru nodded stiffly.

Player: “…”

Ieiri Glass: "..."

Ieiri Naoko covered her face helplessly.

Aurora has completely seen through these two idiots, right?

But unexpectedly, Aurora did not expose them, but continued talking about the topic they brought up.

The player nodded thoughtfully. "...You're right. Hitting the brain isn't that simple. It really requires careful planning."

Special Mission: Brain Grabbing

Mission Description: Players suddenly arrive in another world and discover that someone is secretly spying on their unsuspecting friends, causing them trouble and distress. Thanks to your wits, you learn his true form and name—Noose. However, this dark mind refuses to give up his evil plans, and players who stand on the side of justice are determined to teach him a lesson.

Mission requirements: Capture the brain of the action within the mission time and hand it over to Gojo Satoru for processing.

Mission Rewards: Core Fragment x1, Random Territory x1, Mall Coins +50, Random Spell Tools x5, Some Experience, Some Money...

Mission time: within three days

Teammates: Brainstorming Team members, Tianyuan (friendly sponsor)

Note: The lower the casualty rate, the higher the mission completion rate.

With only three days left... we must defeat them with one strike. And that core fragment... I'm kind of concerned.

"As a former friend of Lord Tianyuan, he must be the most familiar with noose among us."

The player took out a pen and paper and began to plan. "Based on our previous experience, his brain replacement technique not only allows him to use his own techniques, but also the techniques of his previous bodies. So in some ways, Noose is extremely difficult to deal with."

"That's true. Noose can be used to escape directly using special techniques." When talking about business, several people also straightened their expressions.

"That move can't be flawless. He has used it several times before, and he probably hasn't recovered yet." The player touched his chin, took out a dice, shook it, and confirmed his guess.

The player wrote the four big words "weak state" on the paper.

This is good news.

Player: "Just in case, Master Tianyuan will take action at the right time to help us restrict the whereabouts of the noose and reduce the possibility of him escaping using the barrier technique."

"Of course, this was agreed upon from the beginning." Facing the sudden gaze, Tian Yuan nodded calmly and reminded, "But he is, after all, a survivor of the same era as me. You should be careful that he may have other ancient methods."

Moreover... Noose seemed to have had close conversations with many famous magicians.

"That's not a problem! I've read all the books that might be useful at home, and I've also taken all the cursed tools that might be needed from the Gojo family's warehouse!" Gojo Satoru gave a thumbs up, "Leave this to me!"

"It's so reliable!" Several people praised in unison, causing Gojo Satoru to raise his chin proudly.

"Okay! Then the next step is to confirm our containment method. Let's look at the map first!"

"At the moment, Nozomi's whereabouts are probably in this area. In order to accurately track him down, one person should first use the companion card to find his exact location, then contact Master Tianyuan. Then, Wu and Jie, who have the ability to move, will bring along Nozomi, who has the ability to heal..."

"And Mr. Shier, he should have returned from abroad by now..."

As his thoughts deepened, the player's voice became more and more steady. His golden eyes focused on every stroke on the map, constantly thinking about the possible direction of the noose's escape. He was determined to ensure that if he did not take action, he would not take action at all, and if he did, he would definitely win!
