Chapter 9: I was the one being excluded
Obviously, He regarded Cheng Xiaoyu as a "threat" and treated him as a great enemy. This was a good sign for Cheng Xiaoyu because it meant that expelling Him was not as difficult as Cheng Xiaoyu had originally imagined.
The fact that the other party was so quick to cover his mouth in such a simple and crude way proved that the scope of his power was not that wide, and it also proved that the intervention of Cheng Xiaoyu, an outsider, would indeed affect or even offset his control over the indigenous people.
Otherwise, there would be no need to interrupt the conversation. Just let Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru forget everything and be done with it.
Most importantly, it also means that there is a high probability that I can leave work early, which is great!
The gloom in Cheng Xiaoyu's heart caused by work was less, and her face was much brighter.
But the haze will not disappear, it will just shift to the faces of Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru who witnessed the whole process.
They all deal with metaphysics. In a field where "curse" and other "divine punishments" exist, it is obvious at a glance that this is "Heaven" taking the initiative to intervene and shut people up.
Previously, when Cheng Xiaoyu was keeping the suspense about what might happen in the future, she also said that "the secret cannot be revealed." Although that was an excuse she used to frame the children, Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru did listen to her.
Now, seeing that Cheng Xiaoyu was about to blurt out what would happen to her next year and she encountered such a thing, Xia Yujie was really annoyed.
There have been sorcerers who can predict the future in history, but such spells are accompanied by great costs and backlash, and these sorcerers often die young.
But all these costs will backfire on the sorcerer who "peeks into the future". This... is unheard of!
What level of "prophecy" would lead to such a physically explosive and jarring scene when listening to one's own prophecy?
What did he do in the future? Did he save the world or blow it up? Did he break the law of heaven?
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a good thing. He will only be 16 next year. Is he going to die young?
......
"Young people shouldn't be so pessimistic. It's actually not a bad thing."
Cheng Xiaoyu patted Xia Yujie's shoulder, who had already started thinking about the format of drafting a suicide note, and comforted him.
"At least you know you can definitely live until next year, right? Look at it from another perspective, you've been locked out of life, how great is that."
Geto Suguru felt that he was not comforted at all.
I won’t die this year, but what about next year?
It’s so good! Do you want this blessing?
"Don't make such a fuss, Jay. It's possible that this vending machine has been in disrepair for a long time and this guy just happened to be unlucky."
Gojo Satoru, who is not good at comforting others, chose to tell lies with his six eyes open. In order to comfort his best friend, he did not hesitate to put the blame on the brand new vending machine and Cheng Xiaoyu's horoscope.
"The Jay I know wouldn't trust a weird woman who didn't even tell us her name."
Cheng Xiaoyu said seriously, "My last name is Cheng, and I want to clarify that I am not a woman, because strictly speaking, I am not human at all. So you should still listen to what I say sometimes."
Gojo Satoru: "..."
Geto Summer Oil: “…”
To reveal such incredible information at such a time and for such a reason... I really want to continue complaining, but when I think about it, this isn't the first time this has happened to this seemingly unruly guy, so it's not unacceptable.
Why does it feel like this woman's temper has become even worse and more aggressive after one night? Could it be that this guy was stimulated by something during the night he disappeared?
While the two people, who had received a large amount of information in a short period of time, were still not able to react, Cheng Xiaoyu seized the opportunity and said, "I've already said that your world has been unstable recently. It's understandable that you're making a fuss about metaphysics, right? It's okay. After I finish my work and go home, you shouldn't have any more incidents of God's manual transmission appearing."
Time seemed to be forbidding. Finally, before the silence could really drown him, Geto said, "Has anyone ever told you that you sometimes look really... a little... unprofessional?"
"No." Cheng Xiaoyu gave a thumbs-up and smiled confidently, "They usually say I look completely unreliable!"
“.......”
Although he had no idea who "they" were, Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru believed that "they" were right!
They must never become such unreliable people when they grow up!
.......
Late at night, Tennenori was lying on her bed, staring intently at the hand that had signed the "contract" that morning.
Even though more than ten hours had passed, she still felt unreal.
She had a lot of questions in her mind but nowhere to vent them, and the culprit who could answer her questions had disappeared. She couldn't even vent her grievances and frustrations to others. Tennenoriko felt very depressed and her mind was in a mess.
As I was lost in thought, my eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and my consciousness began to sink...
"Oh, it seems I left a deep impression on you this morning. You even dreamt about this place?"
Tenriko suddenly realized that she was back to the place where she was kidnapped in the morning, and the young woman who forced her to form an unknown "curse" was standing in front of her!
"You, why did you take me away again? I didn't break the agreement!"
When Tianlizi saw the other person, she remembered the other person's weird and terrifying true face and felt scared.
"I'm warning you, Miss Kuroi is outside! If she finds out I'm missing, she'll definitely report it!"
Cheng Xiaoyu: "I didn't take you away. You are still sleeping in your own bed. I just entered your dream to wake you up from your deep sleep."
Tenriko tried hard to recall and found that she had indeed fallen asleep and had a nightmare in which the kidnapping incident in the morning was repeated. However, she suddenly woke up halfway through the dream.
"Ms. Cheng... Xiaoyu, right? What are you doing here in my dream?"
Tenriko didn't know why she knew the other person's name that he had never told her. She thought it was related to the so-called "contract".
"I just wanted to have a good talk with you. It was too rushed this morning."
Cheng Xiaoyu flipped her hand, and Tian Tianlizi didn't know what she did specifically, but a contract that looked like parchment appeared in her hand like magic.
"I haven't had time to tell you yet, but the contents of the contract can be modified or even torn up as long as all signatories agree."
When Tennenriko took the contract, she saw at a glance that the Japanese characters on the lower right corner of the paper were exactly her name, and on the lower left corner was a line of flamboyant characters... It felt a little familiar, but Tennenriko really couldn't understand it, but it should be the real name of this person.
There wasn't much written on the contract, and the content was pretty much the same as what Cheng Xiaoyu had said to Tenriko that morning.
"I'm sure you have a lot of questions you want to ask me," Cheng Xiaoyu said. "Next, I'll explain why I'm here, my purpose in seeking you out, and my request. If you refuse after hearing everything, I won't force you."
........
"In order to weaken that unknown entity's control over reality through your 'influence', you intend to disguise yourself as me and blend into the assimilation plot?!"
Tianlizi jumped up in surprise.
"I know you're very excited now, but don't get excited yet." Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Listen to my explanation..."
"How can I not be excited?"
Tenriko said loudly.
"You know I was supposed to die there, right?! You said it yourself, 'Riko Tenri was shot to death by the assassin' was the plot point that guy wanted to see, so why did you still want to die for me?! Are you an idiot!?"
"I only said I'd take your place, not die for you. And this is just one of the backup plans."
Cheng Xiaoyu said calmly.
"People's physiques can't be generalized, not to mention I'm not human. A mere headshot is nothing to me. Even the demons in games, comics, and novels aren't killed by guns, right?"
Her true form is just a shadow, without even flesh and blood. She is immune to physical damage, so why would she be afraid of a mere headshot?
Tenriko simply didn't understand her true nature. Back then, when she was on sick leave teaching students, that brat had no problem hitting her head with all kinds of knives, guns, sticks and clubs.
Tenriko was silent for a long time before she said, "I've really seen it. In 'Obama-O' and 'Destroyer-O Warrior'."
".....Children, please don't play so many video games."
Look at what examples these are!
"As for me, you don't have to worry, because I have already won over the assassin who is going to assassinate you. Although he can't cancel the assassination because of the mastermind, he can still do it with some small tricks. The bullets he uses will definitely be ordinary bullets that won't hurt me at all."
Tenriko was still a little worried: "I heard that they will send people directly to escort us into the assimilation area... What if they find that the 'corpse' is alive? Even if I escape, what can I do? It's better to let me..."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Don't worry, because the people escorting you can be considered to be on our side, although they don't know our plan yet. But now they are secretly planning how to get you away safely if you don't want to die. If they find out that you are not dead, they will definitely help to hide it. As for the household registration and everything else, just let them take care of it. I think their plan is quite complete."
Tiantian Lizi was speechless for a moment.
In other words, among these "actors" who are about to appear, not only is she, the "sacrifice", on this side, but even the "killer" is on this side. Although the "escort guards" have not yet joined them, they will also provide them with help that can be called defection...
Tennuriko: "It feels like Tengen-sama, the only one in the room who wants to assimilate, is being marginalized."
"Actually, Tianyuan himself wasn't that eager to assimilate," Cheng Xiaoyu said. "I found the message Tianyuan conveyed to the higher-ups in the sorcery world, and one of the messages said, 'Before the day of assimilation, do your best to satisfy the Astral Plasma's wishes.' In fact, to this day, the higher-ups in the sorcery world are still prepared to enforce this rule."
Nariko nodded: "I know this, I have heard similar things since I was a child."
She knew from a young age that this was Lord Tianyuan's compensation for the astral plasma body, and as long as she did not refuse assimilation, she could be appropriately willful.
"Yeah?"
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled.
"But recently, when Tianyuan said this, there was actually a second half to his sentence—"
If you don't want to be astral plasma, that's fine too.
But the second half of this sentence did not reach the ears of others. This time it was not due to irresistible external factors, but simply because the high-level spellcasting officials did not want to do it.
After hearing this, Tenriko was silent for a long time.
In other words... apart from her, the "living sacrifice" to be sacrificed, no one at the assimilation site really wants to complete this ritual?
So the person being excluded turned out to be her?!
