Chapter 36: Unguarded and ill-intentioned (main 1, 2, 3)...
It was a week before the incident at the juvenile detention center. Jiu Fangzhen had already enrolled, but the character identity of Ji Teng Shiye had not yet been created because the conditions had not yet been met.
But because one of Jiang Jiu's identities, Bai Suchuan, has the ability to manipulate time and space, his subordinates came to the present world in early July 2018 and met Ji Tonshiya, whose background was completely automatically filled in by the system.
At this time, Ji Tengsi was not controlled by Jiang Jiu, and his way of thinking was not tainted with Jiang Jiu's "human" color. His personality was strictly in accordance with the setting, and several characteristics were more mechanical and rigid in him, which made his behavior more unusual.
This is a very subtle fate. The swords met another "master" across hundreds of years of time and space.
However, this "master" is not so gentle.
Kito Si also drinks coffee frequently. He has no particular fondness for coffee, and even disdains the canned coffee that Subaru Okiya likes. But this drink is a necessity for him. His mind is always forced to think too much, and coffee helps him stay awake and regain his focus.
This cafe located in front of the school also welcomed a regular customer today.
He was carrying his laptop and was about to go to his usual hidden corner seat, but found that it was occupied by two graceful "non-humans".
Ji Teng Siye has a strong observation ability and is always forced to notice some overlooked details. However, he feels uncomfortable more because of the subconscious sense of disobedience in his brain, and many of the details he notices are redundant and unimportant.
At the same time, the ability to connect detailed clues with logical thinking has not been trained and is only at the level of an excellent adult.
Therefore, he is not as good as the "savior" Kudo Shinichi who solved cases every day and was reported in the newspapers in terms of solving cases, but he can still compare with some well-known detectives.
He first noticed the two people's extraordinary temperament, and then his eyes turned to the long stick wrapped in cloth placed on the chair.
Shape, length...
Arm posture, eye contact habits...
Billions of colorful lines whizzed through his mind, interweaving time, space, origin, phenomenon, reality, data...
Oh, it's the Fusangshen who is under the player of [Sword and Blade].
At this moment, Ji Tengsi thought a lot and yet thought of nothing.
After the player creates a character, he does not need to start playing from birth. Once created, the main body can immediately cut in.
Before being "used", the characters have their own lives in the game timeline. The holographic game's computing system can calculate the direction of all events and complete the settings within 0.001 seconds. In the "past" timeline, the newly generated characters use the personalities set by the players to create rich background stories.
Ji Toshiya, who knew the truth about the world since its creation, didn't feel anything about it.
After all, a string of data does not require feeling, his life is real and utilitarian, and the highest instruction is to serve the players.
Although the days he experienced were his "reality", in fact they were just content that the system completed in less than a second.
Only after the player switches for the first time will his world "slow down".
When the player is operating, the character's past memories will be blurred and will only surface at critical moments. Sometimes players need to explore the hidden background settings in depth, which is also part of the game.
If you encounter a product derived from player operations, then...
Curiosity about non-human creatures, annoyance at breaking the routine and losing control, the desire to control all variables in life...
The idea of testing gradually gained the upper hand.
He formed a new plan in his mind in a second.
Before handing "himself" over, this will be the final preparation he completes for the players.
——【The "This is Your Life" system discovered the time fallacy and made a reasonable deduction on the playability of the game】

Ji Toshi also came to the seats of the Fusangshen with a social smile.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to see if there was any vacancy here, and I accidentally overheard your conversation. Perhaps I can help you?"
Yakiri Hasebe secretly and vigilantly observed the stranger who suddenly spoke to him.
Damn! I let my guard down!
Hasebe was just discussing the changed history with Mikazuki. They exchanged their views on Yuji Itadori and thought about whether they could directly approach it from the perspective of the world of sorcery.
But they only have the spiritual power of their lord, and no magical power from emotions. In the eyes of the magician, they are probably out of tune with ordinary people.
Moreover, they could vaguely understand the idea of the Retrograde Army. If they could change history this time, human civilization would at least not regress a hundred years and fall into stagnation...
Fortunately, this topic was not discussed for long. Five minutes ago, their topic changed back to "finding a stronghold."
Otherwise, if people in the world heard these things and misunderstood them as the fantasy of a madman, it would be fine. But if they took them seriously and found that everything was verified one by one, the consequences would be disastrous!
"Not sure what you mean by 'offering help'?"
Mikazuki Munechika could only smile and say nothing, so Yakiri Hasebe had to take the initiative to assume the responsibility of communicator.
"Ah, I overheard that you two seemed to be worried about 'accommodation'. I happen to have an idle house, and I was thinking if I could use this opportunity to make some extra money." The man with thin-framed glasses touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly.
He glanced at the gray-haired man's hand on top of the long stick.
It's very sincere, although a little abrupt, but the reason is reasonable.
Yakiri Hasebe was not completely relieved. He was not afraid of human conspiracy, as they had enough means to escape. He was suspicious of whether this young man, who looked so handsome, had heard their previous discussion.
"How much did you hear?"
He just guessed that Ji Teng Si was also curious about the topics of "history" and "curse" they talked about. He didn't expect that Ji Teng Si had already guessed that they were the incarnations of swords.
"Sorry, sorry. I only heard this gentleman laugh a few times, and then he said, 'There's really no other way. Staying overnight on the overpass is also a rare experience.' I think you two must have encountered some difficulties. Since you are open-minded enough to say 'stay overnight on the overpass' with a smile, why don't we each take what we need?"
Kito Si also pointed at Mikazuki Munechika who was dressed in a suit and tie.
It was this person just now, and the sound of "hahahaha" almost attracted the attention of the entire store. If their location was not so hidden, someone would definitely notice their outstanding appearance.
By then, he won’t be the only one who comes to chat with her.
The katana is indeed not good at concealment, and it is holding the tachi back!
Receiving Hasebe's unfriendly gaze, Mikazuki Munechika innocently raised his coffee cup and took a sip like a nobleman sipping tea. Hasebe swore with his katana's detective power that His Highness Mikazuki was definitely guilty!
Mikazuki Munechika ignored the burning gaze from the opposite side and responded to Ji Teng Si in a friendly manner: "Young man, aren't you afraid that we have bad intentions? After all, we seem to be illegal residents without identity information."
"Hey - Mikazuki..." Why did you reveal this so casually? !
"Ah, I think, in a universal sense, I am probably the one who takes the initiative to talk to people and looks more like someone with bad intentions."
There really is no good intention. Ji Tengsi also thought in his heart.
If he was just being kind, he could have used his ID to get them a hotel room, but he chose to take them home.
Out of personal curiosity and a subtle desire for control, he really wanted to find out what these two Fusangjin were doing in the human world.
It’s best to keep them under your nose and keep an eye on their movements at all times.
Maybe I could even use them a little...
"Hahaha, Hasebe, I think we can trust this person, this... uh..." His slow speaking speed revealed the elegance of a Heian noble, and he didn't seem embarrassed even though he couldn't call out the name.
"My name is Ji Teng Siye."
"Haha, we can trust this Kito-kun."
Yakiri Hasebe and Mikazuki Munechika exchanged a knowing look and reluctantly agreed.
Because he was troubled, even the sharp-eyed katana tsukumogami didn't notice that a blond man had been observing them since they entered the coffee shop.
The two followed Ji Teng Si to an apartment building a few kilometers away.
The distance was quite far, so they took the train. Ji Teng Si didn't like taking the train, and he had to avoid his agent and fans recently, so he seldom went home.
On the way, Ji Teng Si also found out that they had four other companions, none of whom had found a place to stay. They came to Tokyo just to do business, and would stay here for seven days at most.
Seven days?
What happened in seven days? It's about the players.
It seems like this should be the opportunity to create this identity of mine.
The two tsukumogami who were riding the train for the first time did not show anything unusual. They still knew not to show their specialness in crowded places.
When exchanging names with Kito Shiya, he was also reserved and did not say their widely known full names, but only replaced them with "Hasebe" and "Mikazuki".
After bringing the people home, Ji Tengsi also explained some precautions to them, the key point being: do not mess up items and put them away neatly after use.
Then he pretended to be happy and left with a large amount of golden gold (Xiaopan), and handed the key to them very straightforwardly.
"I feel like I've been trusted." Mikazuki Munechika sighed as he observed the minimalist decorated, cold-style living room.
"Ah, yes, but can such an unsuspecting person who casually brings strangers home really live safely?" Yakiri Hasebe dispelled his doubts and instead worried about the unguarded Kito Si.
"Hahaha, then I'll wait until the next time we meet to remind Kito-kun to be careful."
After finding a place to stay by accident, the two Fusangshen did not stay in the air-conditioned room for long. As Yakiri Hasebe said, the captain's task is to coordinate the planning.
Although there was plenty of time, a full week to gather intelligence, Yakiri Hasebe did not dare to slack off. He still wanted to grasp the specific situation as soon as possible, find the Time Travel Army hiding in the dark, and restore history!
Even if that history is not going in a good direction.
But this is the mission they were given in life!
Moreover, any deviation from the historical trajectory may affect the existence of their lord!
If I cause my lord to disappear because I can't bear it, Yakiri Hasebe will never forgive myself!
Instruct Mikazuki Munechika to go to the nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities, and ask Hasebe to go personally to help Ran and Minghu and monitor the movements of the High School.
Although it is the size of an adult, it is a katana after all, and has relatively advanced reconnaissance capabilities.
Moreover, there is a lack of records of historical events at this stage. The government at that time only collected the fact that the fake death of Itadori Yuji was changed a week later. The specific mission content and location were not passed down. Even the cause and effect of the incident are confusing.
If human history is a straight line extending forward, the government of time is far at the front end of the line, and the Heisei era is at the middle and back end of the line. Now there is a sudden bump on the straight line. If humans in the future leave it alone, this bump will become a disturbance and pulse, unstoppably destroying the subsequent time and space and disrupting all the predetermined developments.
The experienced first team speculated that the death of Yuji Itadori was not the direct cause of the "big event" that almost wiped out humanity, but it was only the trigger. However, this is an important historical node, and no one knows what uncontrollable consequences will occur after the change.
Yakiri Hasebe guessed that the Time Travel Army should prevent Yuji Itadori's death, or let him die early. No matter which possibility it is, he must stop it!
For my lord, I am willing to do anything! Even if it means the death of tens of millions of people, I will do it without hesitation!
During the past few days, Rantoshiro went back to rest during the day, and the two katana warriors hid behind the stone steps at the foot of the mountain and remained vigilant at all times.
It's not that they haven't thought about going a step further and sneaking into the campus. However, perhaps because the spirits have a special sense of danger, the trembling feeling made them unable to move forward when they were 50 meters away from the school gate.
If we take one more step forward, we might be discovered!
The students at the technical high school were very busy. When three students acted together, they carefully identified for a long time before confirming which one was Yuji Itadori and which one was his classmate Megumi Fushiguro. After all, the government documents did not provide portraits.
One night, they even discovered a fourth student who was missing from the records of the Time Government!
He was a black-haired student wearing a hood, thin and clumsy, and he must have never exercised his physical strength.
He went down the mountain with a haggard middle-aged man. The man was holding a very bright flashlight, which almost shone on the Tsukosanggami. Fortunately, they were quick and agile and dodged quickly.
The boy, who probably suffered from night blindness, took every step very carefully on the bright stairs. When the adult stumbled over a tree root and the flashlight was not aimed at his feet, he angrily pushed him, almost making him fall, or even roll down the stairs.
The man did not refute, but bowed and apologized.
"My Lord, it was my mistake."
"I've just started school, and you dare to treat me perfunctorily? Are those old guys finally going to give you a new master?"
"No. Please calm down."
"Tell them not to think too much. I don't want to get involved in their political games..."
"Yes, I will pass it on."
…
Newly enrolled? This means he is in the same grade as Yuji Itadori.
They recorded this not-so-small variable and passed it on to other Tsukumogami.
There was no one around, so they did not use code names like cooling material or charcoal for internal communication within the Fusangshen.
They monitored the movements of the technical college students at the foot of the mountain day and night, and obtained a lot of first-hand information. This information could not be sent out for the time being, and had to wait for Hasebe to report back, and then be filed by the government at that time.
Yakiri Hasebe didn't know that the naive human being he thought was sincere and unsuspecting was far more cunning than the simple-minded Tsukumogami who had never experienced the world.
Ji Toshi, who was eavesdropping on the conversation between the katana and the god of sorrow, also curled up the corners of his lips.
