The fake Geto's information is not that easy to track, so Kuen can only combine his own information with that of Sumiya and Gojo Satoru to determine his whereabouts.
Another thing is that he plans to reduce the number of people who appear as much as possible and temporarily transfer the magic power of the vest to himself.
"Why don't we invite Hanako and the others along as well?" asked Xia Yujie.
Hanako was playing with a fortune-telling tool that he had collected earlier. Hearing this, he said, "Can't that guy use your technique? I won't take the risk if I'm not sure if I'll be affected by the cursed spirit manipulation technique."
Jiuyuan didn't know whether they would be affected, but for safety's sake, he decided to keep them away.
Now that he had made up his mind, he thought he should make more preparations.
He took out a spare doll from the warehouse.
Xia Yujie looked at the puppet in front of him and asked, "Are you going to use the puppet as a puppet in battle?"
There are quite a few sorcerers who use puppet warfare tactics, so he naturally thought so.
Jiuyuan shook his head, and he opened his palm to form a piece of white paper.
"It's a loophole," he said. "Because your body is human, it still needs to maintain basic human functions. According to our observation, he still needs to take in a little human food occasionally - although the frequency is much lower than that of ordinary people."
Geto: "...It doesn't sound very comfortable, as if he is still 'alive'."
Jiuyuan let a ghost lean over the doll, and the doll soon turned into a young man in a waiter's uniform.
He stuffed the white paper condensed from the demonic power into its hand.
"Find a chance to give this paper to him." Jiuyuan gave the order.
Summer Oil: "Won't the other party find out like this?"
Jiuyuan: "I have a way."
He originally wanted to disguise the doll as someone distributing tissues on the street, and then stuff the ticket into it. As long as the fake Geto took the ticket, his information would be recorded in his notebook.
But doing so carries a higher risk of being discovered.
He planned to let the ghost puppet disguise as a waiter in the restaurant, and then secretly replace the order books of other waiters with this white paper. Once the fake Geto placed an order in the restaurant, the waiter would record his order on this paper, and they would have reached a "deal", and his information would appear in the notebook.
His plan worked, and the identity of the fake Geto Kagome appeared in the notebook.
Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be mentioned in the notebook.
[System: There is nothing we can do about this. After all, we didn’t buy the most expensive notebook…]
Jiuyuan was alone in the room, looking through the information in his notebook.
"Nosuke... Is this your real name? This guy actually uses this name..." Jiuyuan read the whole thing at a glance.
Although I had guessed it before, this guy is really a habitual user of occupying other people's bodies.
"This is considered to be illegally extending life and hindering normal reincarnation." Jiuyuan closed the notebook.
If the purpose of the noose is really to make humans undergo the "evolution" he mentioned -
This must be an extremely long process.
Just look at the fact that he changed bodies so many times. This was something he had been planning for a long time. He even used different identities to conduct many different experiments.
"It seems like a good idea to sue him in hell, otherwise there will be countless victims."
"System."
【System: What's wrong? 】
"Do you think I should go to hell and report his news? If the hell guards send someone to take him away directly, we don't have to go there, right?"
【System: Is that so... Although what you said does make sense...】
"But - this guy has successfully escaped from the reincarnation so many times, maybe he already knows how to drill through the basket. Maybe the jailer can't deal with him directly." Jiuyuan rubbed his forehead, "Is this what you want to say?"
【System: ……】
"never mind."
He pushed his notebook aside.
He has the Kisaragi Station, the demon power he has recovered, and the demon power supplements and amplifiers that can be purchased from the system. In addition, he has Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, and the main battlefield of Hell. He feels that it would be really embarrassing if he still loses.
A few days later, Gojo Satoru came to their place to eat and asked about the progress of the matter.
Jiuyuan told everyone about this at the dinner table.
"If that guy's goal is to use the entire Japan as a testing ground for his experiments on humans, then... not only sorcerers, but also people with abilities of other systems will inevitably be disturbed, not to mention ordinary people, who have almost no means of resistance in this disaster."
Kuen said, "Please Mr. Oda, please inform Mr. Sakaguchi for me so that they can prepare for the worst."
Although...he didn't think he would fail.
Gojo Satoru put down his chopsticks and said, "You said before that you would find a helper. Is it someone we know?"
Kuen: "I know him... but not really? It's the Kisaragi Station you asked me about before."
Gojo Satoru: "Hmm? Is it because of his ability? Indeed, from the description, it feels very similar to the 'domain expansion' of the sorcerer. I understand. You want to use the domain of Kisaragi Station to neutralize the domain of that special cursed spirit?"
Jiuyuan: "Yes, based on my understanding of him, his domain is more like a folded space, which is theoretically a higher-dimensional existence than the domain of the cursed spirit."
Kagome: "According to your description, the space of Kisaragi Station should be able to accommodate all those cursed spirits at the same time, right?"
Jiuyuan was almost full. He put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Yes, to be honest, my initial goal was just to separate them. But considering that the cursed spirits have lost their headquarters after leaving the fake Geto, the worst case scenario is that they may attack the humans nearby..."
"So, I am tentatively hoping that Kisaragi can help me bring everyone to his domain."
"--Then, lock the cursed spirits there and send the noose to hell." He said, "But in this way, the people who stay with Kisaragi will be under more pressure."
He looked at Gojo Satoru and said, "It's still a special class after all. Besides, we haven't figured out all the special class abilities yet, right? Even with Kisaragi's help, I think it will be troublesome."
Gojo Satoru understood what he meant and asked, "Are you planning to take a few more cursed spirits with you to hell?"
Jiuyuan nodded: "Yes, the problem now is the selection."
During the previous exchange of information, they had already understood each other's abilities that those cursed spirits could use.
Currently, there is only the cursed spirit whose half body looks like an octopus, and the specific situation is still unknown.
"The more dangerous one should be the guy called Zhenren." Jiuyuan said, "He can change the form of the soul... and attacks on the body are meaningless to him. Let me take this guy away."
Gojo Satoru glanced at him and said, "…Is everything okay?"
Jiuyuan convinced him: "According to this theory, and the battle you mentioned before when Yuji and Nanami met the real person... I think I am the most suitable candidate."
"...I see." Gojo Satoru said, "Because your situation is similar to that of Yuji, you have two souls in one body, and the other soul is very strong. This is indeed a good way to break the deadlock."
Xia Yujie remembered that Gojo Satoru didn't know about the game between them in his body, so he looked at Hisaen hesitantly and received a soothing look from the latter.
Kuen continued to deceive: "Besides, Gojo-san is still alive after all. In the battle against the soul, it is still more advantageous for me and Kaguru-kun. If the cursed spirit called Zhenren stays, it will affect your battle with other cursed spirits."
"OK." Gojo Satoru agreed neatly.
This is true. If you want to protect yourself from the attack of a real person, you can only cover the power directly on the soul.
For Geto, who is already in the spirit state, this is simply basic operation.
Jiuyuan asked the system: "Is there any way to help me protect my soul?"
The system hesitated for a while, and after a long while it said: [OK.]
…
…
"Actually, I wanted to ask you a few days ago - do you two really know each other?"
In the dark night, Gojo Satoru stood beside the young man named Kisaragi, illuminated by the dim light of the lantern in his hand, and asked this question.
Ruyue glanced at him with a half-smile, then looked at Jiuyuan beside her and nodded with a smile.
"No, it's just that Mr. Huang Quanchuan promised to do something for me. So I agreed to help... You know, I don't like to get into trouble. Young people like us are very fragile." After saying this, he blinked his eyes to show that what he said was true.
Gojo Satoru raised his hands. "Excuse me, can I ask what he promised? I'm just curious."
"I just helped him spread the legend a little wider." Jiuyuan shrugged. "The wider the legend spreads, the more people know about it, and the stronger Kisaragi's power will be. It's also a good thing for us if our companions become stronger."
Gojo Satoru: “…”
No wonder it feels like there are more posts about Kisaragi Station recently. Is it just an illusion?
Kisaragi smiled and thanked Kuen for his generous help.
"Well, the next step is to 'capture' your prey." He said, "Next, you will need to set the location of the 'door'. Apart from the two objects that require special attention, I will directly place the rest of the cursed spirits into my space."
Jiuyuan took out the key and laid a huge circle in front of him.
At first glance, it looks like a round piece of mud with no bottom in sight.
Gojo Satoru looked over curiously and said, "Can we reach hell if we jump down from here?"
Seeing that he was eager to try, Jiuyuan said, "Okay, but I don't have any extra passes at the moment. If you jump, I can't guarantee that you will come back alive."
Gojo Satoru: “…”
He stuffed the pass into Xia Yujie's pocket and warned him to keep it safe.
In order to maintain the gate of Hades open, Jiuyuan just stood next to the portal holding the key.
Kisaragi: "Are you ready? I'm going to start overlapping my domain with the real space."
After getting responses from everyone, Jiuyuan began to mobilize more demonic power. He had already taken a demonic power enhancer in advance, and combined with the power of the remaining vests, Ruyue's power naturally increased a lot.
On a peaceful commercial street in Tokyo, a wave of extremely strong pressure briefly sounded above everyone's head.
Everyone felt a very brief palpitation, but everything returned to calm the next second, as if everyone had just experienced a collective hallucination.
No one noticed that there was one less person on the street.
The folded space and real space overlap briefly, and after the desired target is grasped, the two worlds separate again.
Kisaragi Station once again became an isolated island drifting outside of reality.
And captured several new islanders——
The moment the folded space opened, the noose was thrown directly into the gate of Hades.
Just as Xia Youjie was about to enter through the door, he saw Kuen being grabbed by the wrist by the real person hanging above the abyss.
"——Kyuon!"
After realizing that he had been transferred to an unknown area, Louhu also saw this scene.
"That kid is dead."
At this moment, Jiuyuan seemed to understand why the system had such a strange attitude when he asked it whether it could protect his soul.
The real person who wanted to initiate the transformation of inaction naturally touched a quality he had never felt before.
It was so cold that it looked like solid ice scooped out from an extremely cold land. The concentration and quality of the ice were something he had never seen before.
——It was an existence that he shouldn’t touch.
"let go."
I saw a dozen black evil spirits emerge from behind the young man, baring their fangs and biting the hand that the real person was holding - tearing the arm into pieces.
