Chapter 67: Endless Destruction and Rebirth (1,2) (Four in One...
Tsurumaru Kuninaga was facing off against an invisible thing.
Rather than saying it was a standoff, "being teased" might be a better description of his role in this battle.
I can’t see it, I can’t see it anyway!
This alone is the most fatal factor.
Tsukumogami's fighting instinct allowed Tsurumaru Kuninaga to detect the arrival of the uninvited guest, but it could not allow him to accurately avoid every attack. Moreover, he suspected that this curse had the ability to teleport or transform instantly. Every time he judged the opponent's position, the next attack always came from an unexpected position!
Fortunately, in most cases, he was able to avoid or block it with the nearby sound of breaking air and a little bit of combat instinct.
It’s difficult to fight back, but at least you can avoid deadly danger!
Even so, Tsurumaru Kuninaga was already covered in wounds. Many times he could not detect the attack until it was right in front of him, forcing him to roll over to avoid it. His clothes were stained with dust from the ground and became gray and disheveled.
"Not bad... I'm surprised...!"*
Tsk! This is much more difficult than the retrograde army!
This regenerative enemy...
Gojo Satoru once said that spiritual power can also cause damage to curses and dispel low-level curses. Tsurumaru Kuninaga thought: But if it reaches this level of strength, it may take the entire team of swordsmen to destroy it! ... Or even more!
During the fight just now, he felt a hand grabbing his arm, but when he rolled up his sleeves, he saw no palm prints or wounds.
Will it have any effect if I touch it? Tsurumaru analyzed during the battle. He was not affected. Is it true that the cursed spirit's technique is only effective on humans?
Very good, then the only threat to him is physical attacks, and there is no need to worry about the difficult-to-defend-against spells!
Even so, Tsurumaru Kuninaga conservatively estimated that less than five minutes had passed and he, who was the most skilled player in Honmaru, had been injured!
This is an enemy that he cannot defeat alone!
Tsurumaru Kuninaga quickly changed his strategy. He no longer focused on killing the curse, but tried to lead the battlefield outdoors, or at least away from the room where the Shinsengumi was!
Whether the lord chooses to stay in the house or escape through the window, he must eliminate the possibility of the curse seeing it!
Tsurumaru's evasive movement became more inclined, and he narrowly avoided the giant hand that was stretched out to it. Waving the weapon, not knowing whether it could hit the target or not, he tried to spread his spiritual power in the building, attempting to make the spiritual power play a "repelling" role.
However, his sense of danger told him that the other party had not left yet! Even though he had retreated to the door and made the most suitable posture for being "pursued", the difficult curse did not waver.
What's in the house?
Lord? Did the cursed spirit see the Lord? After so long, has the Lord, who is alone in the room, been in danger? Should he go back and take a look? ...
wrong!
Where did the sickening smell linger before this battle?
Tsurumaru Kuninaga realized that he was a little worried and confused! He remembered the location when he first discovered the curse!
So... it seems that the other party's purpose has always been...?
"Your trick of hiding your head and showing your tail is too old-fashioned. It turns out you are just a thief who broke into people's houses. Let me put an end to your boring life!"
Indoor combat is not the strong point of the katana. Tsurumaru Kuninaga's body movements are considered flexible among katana swords. After all, he is a crane that can fly and turn. What's more, he doesn't even wear heavy shoulder armor and heavy battle clothes at home. The light inner clothes make it easier for him to move quickly!
The sword's combat power could not be fully utilized in a night battle, but fortunately the roof had not collapsed, and the ceiling light was still working. Tsurumaru Kuninaga inspected the entire house while running.
The small table had already been torn into pieces in the fight, along with the delicate teacups and washed fruits on the plates, which were trampled to pieces.
Where's the katana? There's none in the broken pieces of the porcelain cup, nor on the floor, nor on the sofa...
Tsurumaru Kuninaga's heart sank to the bottom. Has the most important body been obtained?
The sofa had been kicked over to the wall a long time ago, and Hasebe's body was pinned underneath like a corpse. If it were a normal person, he would have been covered in bruises or even broken bones!
But when it comes to the Tsukumogami, Tsurumaru Kuninaga thought: at most he will be slightly injured and will not die for the time being.
This sofa even served as a shield for Hasebe's chest to some extent, preventing him from being accidentally injured.
The purpose is not to take the god? Then why does this curse require a knife? Tsurumaru didn't have time to think about it, and chopped at the enemy he had identified!
Once again, the real person meets someone whose soul he cannot change!
He was watching the other person's posture. Tsurumaru Kuninaga's struggling was just on the dividing line between "boring" and "somewhat interesting". What made him patiently tease him was the other person's hard and stable soul!
It is also important to enjoy the fun of fighting.
Unlike the suffocating battle with Itadori Yuji, this "person"...
Very weak~
If his soul was not as stable as a mountain, then no matter how well he used the knife, he would be just an ordinary human being who could be easily manipulated in front of him!
Countless times weaker than Yuji Itadori!
Without cursed power, he is even worse than an ordinary person who has encountered a curse. He can't see the curse spirit even if he fights to death. His attacks are boring, and he can't hurt the soul with just physical skills. He can't even compare to his beloved toy katana!
If you encounter other curses, at least the strange power attached to the knife can drive away the unintelligent guy.
As for him? Even if he is not in his prime right now, at this level, the extra damage caused by the strange power is like cutting meat with a utility knife, which will heal after a while. It is difficult to pose any threat to him!
However... the real person changed the length of his arms and used the new moves he developed during the day to unexpectedly grow spikes, which poked some small but very painful cuts on Tsurumaru Kuninaga's body.
Compared to his half-dead toy, this person is more alive! He should be able to bear more!
Let him take a good look at how the "Soul of the Sword" fights!
Ah, the blood that flows out is also red, just like human blood. Write it down, this is also material for studying new things!
The curse spirit did whatever he thought of on a whim. After thinking about it for a while, he had many bad ideas that he wanted to experiment on the other party one by one.
The cunning special-grade cursed spirit even knew the other party's plan long ago.
Desperately protecting another person.
He remembered that the knife belonged to a human, so he tried so hard to lure him out that he was not afraid of getting injured a few more times. He is truly a good dog who protects his master!
Their fight had already spread to the building they were in. The other walls were already broken, but the wall that separated the bedroom was still standing. The real person saw a sofa lying under that wall, and a figure was pressed under the sofa.
The true thoughts are concealed layer by layer. If I hadn't known that there was a human being here, it would have been easy to overlook these details!
It's so cute to see him trying his best to plan in a completely passive situation!
It’s just… the real person gnashed his teeth.
If you are not a member of the hypocritical and pitiful human race, why should you devote yourself to the ugly human race?
Such a race, the internal strife alone is enough to give birth to a powerful creature like him! Why would a powerful being cherish and protect the weak from the bottom of its heart?
The real person born out of malice didn't understand that this was the case with Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was covered in wounds from fighting, and the same was true for the katana in his hand. Especially this katana, he killed several sorcerers with it and it didn't change, it just stabbed its master in the stomach, and didn't even kill him, and it changed into another form.
Wow, humans are really masters of dog training. They train dogs to be extremely loyal and even willing to die as martyrs!
I really can’t stand it!
The evil-minded special-grade cursed spirit is tired of the tepid battle and can't wait to see "Player with Choice" show more negative expressions.
"I have my plan..." The soothing voice of Geto Suguru sounded in his mind. Makoto recalled the way his fellow curse master stopped him without explaining anything and smiled mysteriously with narrowed eyes.
Tsk! It's been so long and I haven't seen his plan help the great cause in any way! It's just a trick!
He decided to ignore Geto Suguru's warning for the time being and let Shirasu Gawa participate in his "game"!
If a dog is injured, won’t the owner come to comfort it?
*
In the call for help sent out by Shirasu Chuan, the first person to respond was Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Satoru's text message said that he was on a business trip out of town and couldn't contact the first-level sorcerer in charge of this cursed spirit, so he had asked the students of the technical high school to rush over here.
Now that things have come to this, Bai Suchuan naturally has no way of forcing it, and can only hope that Gojo Satoru's students can arrive as soon as possible.
He had another worry.
The blue-haired cursed spirit gave him a terrifying feeling, and it was extremely powerful as seen with the naked eye! As time went on, the intensity of the battle outside the wall increased instead of decreasing, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga was obviously struggling to cope with it! He had heard the malicious teasing voice of the curse more than once!
Gojo Satoru's students are still high school students in their teens. Can they really beat that terrible thing? Thinking of those energetic figures I saw in the high school before, and the boy with eye disease...
The young man clenched his fingers, frightened by the imaginary scene, and his teeth could not stop chattering.
The young man who had just despised himself for being "despicable" did not realize that even though his lover was in a tough battle, even though he himself might be in a life-and-death crisis, he could not help but worry about the safety of his half-grown children...
Compared to the boys and girls who go to school, Geto Suguru, who is already an adult and always reliable, can obviously give people more sense of security!
After receiving the message, Xia Youjie called first, but Bai Qichuan didn't dare to answer and quickly hung up. Then he received a text message saying that he was on the way and told him not to be afraid.
A reliable helper was on the way, and Baisuchuan's trembling was alleviated a lot.
Not only could he not answer the phone, he also didn't dare to turn on the light.
In order to recover his strength, he went to sleep without turning on the lights when he entered the room. Now the room was dark, with only the dim light from the phone in his hand. With the sound of fighting in his ears, Bai Qichuan had never felt that time was so difficult to endure!
In fact, he also used the government's special communicator to ask for help from everyone in Honmaru, but he has not received a reply until now.
Holding the phone tightly, people who are easily frightened naturally ignore the changes in themselves while waiting for every second like a soft knife sharpening their flesh.
He had already informed the known curse information in the initial text message...
He has done everything he can...
All he had left was to wait...
Wait for Tsurumaru to defeat the enemy, wait for the sorcerer to remove the curse, wait for the powerful person to give him the victory...
Or, wait for an unexpected yet foreseeable fate to befall him on this ordinary night...
【Mediocre ability】
——His original sin as a judge.
Bai Suchuan had this idea a long time ago, but he never expressed it. He buried it deep in his heart, hoping that it would disappear on its own, or simply rot in the soil.
He was well-versed in literature and calligraphy, and had read a lot of poetry and books. He had once spoken the words of sages and written about mountains and rivers. Now, without the country and society for him to realize his ambitions, he thought that living in a corner of the country was also a way to express his feelings for the mountains and rivers, but he suddenly realized that a new life carries new responsibilities.
Here, his spiritual power was low, not only could he not control it as he wished, but he even had to calculate carefully the amount of money he could give to the injured souls!
He has no fighting power and can only be protected tightly, but he cannot protect the people he cherishes...
He is such a person who has his limits in every aspect... Even if everyone in Honmaru has no complaints, objectively speaking, he is still a long-term drag...
Unreconciled.
Shirasuka knew very well that his chances of escaping by himself were slim. It was better to say that if he made any noise, he would alert the enemy and become a target of attack, which would cause trouble for Tsurumaru Kuninaga.
If he stayed here, maybe he could get the Blade Hand in time.
Ah, it's a burden...
…
Jiang Jiu couldn't stand it anymore! This plot was too weird! There was no sign at all, and no time for preparation. You had to bring equipment, medicine, and teammates to fight in a team battle. How could you fight the boss who broke into your house?
Did he make a mistake? Why did he always attract the special curse even though he did nothing?
Isn't the Jujutsu world the home turf of the Nine Squares? Why do you always target the boss? Did I provoke you?
Jiang Jiu felt that Bai Qichuan's mood had dropped drastically, and he was afraid that words like "Inner Demon" and "Depression" would appear in the status bar.
I already have [Cowardly], please stop stacking buffs!
He even imagined the tragic scene where the Shinsengumi was in an extremely low mood, which led to Tsurumaru making a mistake in the battle due to his extreme joy and sorrow, resulting in the sword breaking!
He dare not underestimate the role of emotions! After all, countless anime works have emphasized that different mental states in battle have a huge impact!
Baisuchuan is already weak enough, stop weakening your teammates!
It’s so frustrating!
Originally, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the eldest brother's weak strength. He didn't expect the eldest brother to be a killer! The eldest brother played business games to develop the family, the second brother was "disabled but determined" and used his strength to reverse his fate, and the third brother was smart and enjoyed a successful life with his own efforts and excellence. Isn't this a good plan? Isn't it good!
Boss, he already has a beautiful and powerful sword, Tsukumogami, to help him cut through the thorns. Is the plot of this game forcing him to rise? Why?
I won’t!
Although he has a cowardly attribute, this flawed character is exactly what Jiang Jiu pursues! Playing games in this situation can actually stimulate his tension and happiness!
This real person is just too annoying. His gray-blue hair and sticky voice are enough to give people nightmares! -- A terrorist who suddenly appears to destroy other people's happy lives.
The last time I got beaten was when a real person suddenly showed up and ruined the game experience together with the confession incident. This time it was this ghost thing again! Is there no way to cure it?
Jiang Jiu paused the game and returned to the system space.
When he was in Bai Suchuan's body, he was thinking about contacting other sorcerers to help exorcise the cursed spirit. Subconsciously, he had already determined that he could not help. This might be the reaction of weak humans who subconsciously seek help from strong people when facing danger.
The known "strongest" Gojo Satoru has already rejected the request. He rejected it but not completely, and sent all the idle students in the high school, including the Nine Square Array, to the school. Another unknown sorcerer who is wanted is probably no match for the "special grade curse spirit" that has a name and a surname and is being attacked in the forum.
After leaving the role, Jiang Jiu not only thought about whether other NPCs could help, but also thought more about whether he could break the situation on his own.
The definition of “myself” includes the second and third child.
The third brother is really useless in this kind of battle scene with supernatural powers. He may be able to develop a magical machine in the future, but that is also after upgrading his skills such as [Scientific Research Level]. When upgraded to the later stage, his ability can break through the limitations of the [Black and Red] expansion pack and join a wider world with strange waves. Ji Tengsi, who is still grinding experience points and money, is not considered for the time being.
Can the second brother’s current strength defeat the special-grade cursed spirit?
Jiang Jiu was very suspicious.
Last time, he was confident that the second brother generated by the system according to the characteristics he selected was a champion in terms of combat power at the beginning - "Heaven and Curse Bound", "Stronger attack power after going crazy", didn't you see that the curse world was so afraid of his martial power that they threw him under the control of the "strongest"? Obviously, they thought that once the Nine Square Formation erupted, they couldn't control it themselves!
Jiang Jiu started to recklessly act right from the start, and within a few days he challenged the Curse King. The result was horrible, and the negative effects he received have not been eliminated yet!
He was a little scared and not so confident anymore. Besides, the other people who were traveling with him, such as Fushiguro Megumi, Kugisaki Nobara, and the second-year Panda Dog Maki Zenin Maki, were not sure if they could defeat him together, and it was not certain if they could even make it in time!
He must be prepared for both situations to reduce the probability of the card being torn!
As a gamer who only cares about game experience, Jiang Jiu usually doesn't check guides. The game has such a high degree of freedom that every choice will lead to different events. There may not be another person on the Internet who will encounter his situation.
He was investigating something else.
When Jiu Fang Zhen was seriously injured before, he was in so much pain that he lost consciousness and was ejected from the character. At that time, he saw a post like this on the forum:
[[Curse and Love] Sharing of successful experiences in transforming the world into a cursed corpse]
He still remembered a paragraph in it, which roughly said: When the body is seriously damaged and there is no time to find a special reversal magician in the high school for treatment, this method can be used to permanently or temporarily transform into a cursed corpse. Like Panda, it will not hurt or die, but will only consume the cursed power.
Jiang Jiu was deeply impressed, because he almost turned the Nine Square Formation into a cursed corpse in a fit of rage!
What he is interested in is the setting that "the Cursed Corpse will not die as long as the core is not destroyed". Once the transformation is successful, the possibility of him tearing the card in this plot kill will be greatly reduced. Moreover, it only takes a short transformation, and he can turn back into a human being afterwards!
This is his way of protecting himself! The transformation was successful, and Tsurumaru no longer had to fight timidly to protect the room he was in!
Jiang Jiu took out the post he had collected and read it carefully, and found it very feasible. The only omission was that this was the method to become a "cursed corpse".
As the name suggests, the driving force of "Cursed Corpse" is "Cursed Power". Whether it is during the transformation process or the actions after becoming a Cursed Corpse, Cursed Power needs to be consumed.
Bai Suchuan is an ordinary human being except that he has limited spiritual power. He is not a sorcerer and cannot provide the energy needed for the cursed corpse.
Jiang Jiu asked in the post: "Can I use the spiritual power of the Shinsengumi in [Man and Sword] as a power source to succeed?"
The post was posted a long time ago. His reply pushed the post to the front page. The original poster did not reply for a long time. Only a few players who had successfully tried it before came in to thank the original poster.
Jiang Jiu asked again, and someone who was watching the fun encouraged him to reply: "You can try it. The gameplay is all discovered through exploration. Maybe you can become a 'spiritual skeleton'!"
Jiang Jiu thought, that’s true!
He didn't hesitate for a second and logged into the game directly. He took out an item he had been carrying with him and decided to make it into a "curse core", oh no, a "spiritual core"!
Without Ye Moth’s innate puppetry skills, Jiang Jiu used his spiritual power to draw the spell stroke by stroke according to the picture in the post—he didn’t know whether he should be happy or not, as he could finally accurately control the direction of his spiritual power in a critical moment...
Wait!
As a person who only has a half-baked understanding of spells and spiritual power, shouldn't he ask an expert before doing anything? Otherwise, he will get himself killed!
Jiang Jiu sent text messages to two sorcerers he knew at the same time, asking if this method, which was the same in essence, could be used with spiritual power.
Gojo Satoru was the first to reply. He was clearly in the southernmost part of Neon exorcising the cursed spirit, but he was able to reply to the message immediately. However, Jiang Jiu believed that Gojo Satoru had something important to say, because otherwise, his text message would not be so short!
“I recommend it to students who trust me.”
Jiang Jiu's heart sank. Even if his students were trustworthy, there was no guarantee that he and Tsurumaru would be able to hold on until that time.
Fortunately, Geto Suguru gave different advice from Gojo Satoru. He sent a text message saying that he was coming quickly on a Curse Spirit and it would take another three minutes to arrive. If the situation became a matter of life and death during this period, it would be better to give it a try than to die with regret.
"I can't draw a conclusion without seeing the spell you mentioned, but if the opponent is a special-grade curse spirit, you can take a risk and give it a try."
The man who had been considerate and helpful to him since they met also comforted Shirasu Kawan at this moment, and even his words reflected his gentleness: "I will do it as soon as possible, you hide first, and trust your Tsukumogami."
Shirasuga had no time to tell him that he was only accompanied by Tsurumaru and Hasebe, and the other Tsukumogami could not arrive in time.
In fact, it had only been eight minutes since the battle began. Even when Shirasuka woke up from his sleep, it had only been four minutes. Apart from the one or two minutes of panic, anxiety, and confusion, the time to calm down and find a solution was only two or three minutes.
All this seemed so long in Baisuchuan's eyes, so long that when a wall beside him was violently knocked open, the light in the living room was like a paintbrush, illuminating the dark room stroke by stroke.
The bright color pierced into his pupil like a sharp blade. Before the retina transmitted the image to the brain, the sudden appearance of the light had already stimulated his eyes to produce weak tears.
When faced with a dangerous situation that they want to escape but are unable to do anything about, humans fall into fear.
Fear is an emotional response, often accompanied by psychological and physiological disorders. In horror movies, people scream, close their eyes, push away, run away in panic, and even lose their ability to analyze the situation rationally and jump off the building to survive. No matter what combination of reactions, directors are always willing to show the ugly state of human struggle to survive after falling into fear.
Where is Shirasu Gawa?
Is his fear ugly?
When the real person broke the "wall" that Tsurumaru Kuninaga had been secretly protecting, he did not immediately appreciate his expression, but casually looked in the direction where the bricks collapsed.
The young man seemed to have lost his balance when the wall collapsed, and fell down beside the bed. He held something in his hand, raised his head blankly, and his eyes were empty.
He was obviously scared, terribly scared. He had all the physiological changes that a normal person would experience when under extreme pressure. His breathing was rapid, his face was pale, his lips were dry, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.
He was also dignified. When he faced death, he still stood straight, like the little prince in the fairy tale who never bowed his head, or the delicate king who appeared in the history book and refused to surrender and only wanted to die on the throne. I don't know if it was caused by the light or the fear, but the tears were hanging on his eyelashes. In the dusty room, the drop of water stain was out of place like a pearl.
Tsk, what is he thinking? He is just a human with a soft body and hard bones. At most, he is better than the people he transformed in the past who burst into tears and screamed!
The gray-blue-haired newborn curse spirit couldn't help rubbing his fingertips. He began to feel that his palms were empty and couldn't wait to pinch something soft. His reserve of cyborgs had been exhausted, what a pity!
As if choked by the raised dust, the thin young man covered his mouth and coughed. This was like a signal. Tsurumaru rushed towards him like lightning, waving the katana that was one with him, and protecting a piece of heaven and earth in front of Shirasuka.
The real person stretched out his arms to maintain the tentacles attacking from the front, and at the same time, he circled around Tsurumaru and approached Shirasuka from the side with a sense of mischief. As expected, he saw the human's head shift towards him.
You can see me! He grinned at him.
The real person never really took action. He controlled the rhythm of the battle and could end the battle or leave at any time. Although he was seriously injured, he could still handle the situation with ease when the opponent did not even have any curse power. He just had to leave before other sorcerers arrived.
He originally wanted to see Tsurumaru Kuninaga's collapsed expression after his master turned into an ugly monster, and then easily destroy his mind to see if his soul would become fragile and thus be transformed by Wuwei.
What a fun way to play!
He still hasn't changed his mind.
But, he really wants it now, he really wants it!
I really want to see this human bleed, preferably like last time, with the soft abdomen being cut open by the blade, and the warm blood flowing all over the ground, drawing a beautiful flower. The beautiful head hangs softly in my arms, and the water marks from the eyes also paint the white face mottled...
The special-grade cursed spirit has a very good memory. He didn't even let Junpei-kun go. The only human he let go was this person. Now that I think about it, in addition to Gouyu's request, his face that was lovable to the cursed spirit was also one of the reasons!
Tsurumaru Kuninaga was exhausted from dealing with the sudden and several times more violent attacks. Many times he was no longer able to resist with his combat instincts. He stood in front of his lord, wishing he could turn into a shield and keep his lord safe and sound in his arms!
From time to time he dragged humans towards a more open direction, and they gradually left the ruined house.
He had his back to the humans, but he soon noticed his lord's gaze!
"My Lord, you can see it!"
Baisuchuan hummed, and moved tremblingly along with the steps of the Tsukumogami, calling it vaguely "Tsurumaru..." So many emotions seemed to be condensed in this call.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga had felt a sense of fear since a few minutes ago, like an exhausted bird flying over the sea with nowhere to land, with a sense of tension and impending death following him. At first he thought it was a panic caused by his failure to protect his beloved. After all, it couldn't be that he, as a sword god, was afraid of fighting, right?
He had already made up his mind, whether it was to break the knife here, or...
It was not until the wall between him and the Shinsengumi disappeared and he saw his lord standing strong in the midst of collapse that he remembered that he had once inexplicably developed emotions that did not belong to him. At that time, had his lord also encountered danger that he did not know about?
Tsurumaru Kuniyoshi never wondered why he was connected to his own Shinsengumi emotions, at least now he had no time to wonder. The only thought that flashed through his mind during the battle was -
When we get back to Honmaru, I will pester the lord to tell him!
That must have been a huge shock!
"Tsurumaru," Shirasuga realized that Tsurumaru Kuninaga had been fighting with something he could not see until now, and blood was gushing from many parts of his body, and it looked like he was seriously injured!
He described everything he saw using words and body movements. He might have been stumbling, but it actually only took two or three seconds.
He wanted to use words to help Fusangshen fight, but it didn't work as expected. Because -
“That’s it?!”
Tsurumaru Kuninaga was extremely angry!
This is the guy who hurt the lord last time! Damn it, damn it, ughhhh!
He hated himself for not being able to see, hated himself for not being able to exorcise this guy! Hate it!
After another fatal blow with the real sword, Tsurumaru Kuninaga was caught by Shirasuka and his fingers were touched by him. This time, Shirasuka squeezed out all the remaining spiritual power in his body!
"Where is it?"
"It's in front of you on the right. No no, be careful on the left! Wait! Don't, don't go over there yet!"
The real person smiled and allowed them to communicate, as if he didn't realize that their current purpose was to delay time. He twisted his neck, and then raised a knife and shook it in front of Bai Suchuan's shocked and angry eyes.
"Is this yours?"
"Hasebe!" Bai Qichuan said in shock.
"Oh, so it's called Hasebe!" The real person deliberately bent the blade in front of Shirasuka, as if checking its hardness.
The exaggerated degree of curvature made Bai Qichuan terrified, fearing that this terrifyingly powerful cursed spirit would break the knife!
Tsurumaru: "I'm sorry, lord. It was my negligence that allowed him to take it away..."
How could Shirasuga blame Tsurumaru? He had already tried his best!
But before he could say anything, the real person, like a social expert who came up with a good idea while chatting with friends for fun, put his hands down and said in sudden enlightenment: "I got it!"
The seams on the face that should have been white were twisted by a hideous smile, but the eyes of the special cursed spirit lit up like an innocent child! "Can your own sword kill you, a 'knife man' like you?"
“Let me try!”
He originally wanted to throw the knife directly at Yasaki Hasebe who was standing at the foot of the wall not far away, but when he turned around, he remembered that the other person was pressed down by a sofa, with only his legs exposed.
It doesn’t matter, it’s the same if you catch the person and stab him!
Seeing the curse spirit stretching its arms towards the direction they came from, even the attacks that had never stopped just now stopped. Shirasu Chuan's stiff head finally understood what the curse spirit said, and he shouted to Tsurumaru:
"He wants to kill Hasebe! Go back quickly--!!!"
The resounding command entered his mind, and the content was consistent with what he had previously guessed. Tsurumaru Kuninaga didn't think about it at all, and rushed in the direction pointed out by the young man!
The body that was basically healed by the rough spiritual power of the Shinsengumi had no serious injuries except fatigue. He ran very fast, very fast! In one second, he rushed back to the katana-tsukumogami, and a huge fingerprint was visible on the sofa.
Caught up! Great!
…
Wait! Something's wrong!
Got fooled!
The command from the master continued: "Cut off your left side! Be careful! There are - uh" thorns...
Tsurumaru Kuninaga's repaired body was stabbed through the left arm again. He took a few steps back and stood in front of Yakiri Hasebe in a daze, watching Shirasuga covering his neck in pain and leaning back into the air as if suffocating.
Where is the cursed spirit? Where! Where?!
…
Two seconds later, the slow brain finally accepted the unbelievable fact!
He wanted to rescue her, but before he could take a step, Bai Suchuan's suffocating expression became even more uncomfortable, as if warning him. The vision of the sword at night was very poor, but he could clearly see the wide knuckle marks of the alien creature on the white neck of the Shinsengumi!
Fu Sangshen was furious!
It’s not Tsurumaru Kuninaga’s fault for being careless. The fact that he could hold on for so long already shows that he has extraordinary combat awareness.
However, human beings' mental endurance is ultimately limited. When a string is stretched to its limit, it is easy to break or loosen. Even when one is fully energetic, one cannot help but feel extremely tired.
Shirasu's body was unscathed, but his spirit was too depressed! He was well protected by Tsurumaru and trusted him completely, but he knew that the danger was not far away, and it was even close at hand, constantly putting pressure on him and deepening his fear. Facing the curse that flattened and rounded his body and transformed it into a human form at will, the curious scene also made the kind-hearted young man who had lived a peaceful life resist vomiting...
Emotions have a huge impact, and they may not be expressed in words, just like Bai Suchuan has not screamed until now, nor told his lover how scared he is. He even thought he was calm, but he didn't know that he was on the verge of collapse!
Tsurumaru Kuninaga was influenced by his emotionally connected lover, who gave each other complete trust, subtly allowed his emotions to get out of control, and unknowingly indulged himself in blindly obeying orders, so that he made wrong judgments at the most critical moments!
The sword-wielding Sangshen stopped breathing, his face was cold, and his golden pupils were staring straight at Baisuchuan's neck. He was no longer a noble god, but a beast that had lost its chains and wanted to tear and swallow everything in front of him!
My heart ached as if a piece was missing, the blood was flowing backwards, and my head was swollen and hot.
"Put down my lord!" he heard himself say.
“Buzz——”
The buzzing sound seemed to come from far away, but it also seemed to come from within the brain!
The sound was not loud, but it made his ears unable to hear any other sounds!
“Buzz——”
A feeling of sluggishness engulfed all the senses, and the brain seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, a bit like being drunk, and I was in a panic and didn't know what to say.
Did he say anything else? Tsurumaru Kuninaga felt a little dizzy.
Ah, this cursed spirit has obediently released the lord's neck. Great, lord, run quickly, I will cover your retreat...
My eyes seemed to be doubled and I couldn't see clearly. The only clear figure in my sight was a person slumped on the ground, breathing heavily, but there was no blood!
Is this true? What happened? He didn't have time to save...
My Lord, it's alright! That's great!
He wants to, he wants to run over there quickly!
He blinked hard, trying to merge the two images into one. Otherwise, how could such a body protect the lord?
Did the cursed spirit leave? Did a sorcerer save the lord?
Geto Summer Oil is here? Gojo Satoru? Panda? ...
He couldn't see, not only the curse spirit. He didn't know what was going on, but now he couldn't see anything else no matter how he rubbed or pressed his eyes, and couldn't hear anything else. If the curse spirit was still nearby, it would be easy to break him into pieces, right?
So the sorcerer must be here!
Kill it! It doesn't matter if he can't beat it, as long as he can contain it, he will, he will definitely, at all costs, kill it... No! He will never leave the Shinsengumi again!
Tsurumaru Kuninaga strode forward, not realizing that his steps were shaky. He reached the distance of several dozen meters in just a few steps, and there was no attack to block him along the way.
Quietly, Tsurumaru Kuninaga moved closer. He could see Shirasuka's rapid breathing, but his ears were still filled with the sharp buzzing sound!
He's still alive! My lord, he's fine. That's great!
Everything is so absurd!
Tsurumaru Kuninaga knelt down beside the human, loosened his grip on the sword, and let the sword fall to the ground with a clang. He finally supported his beloved human as he wished.
It's all so absurd!
They are all safe! They will happily return to Honmaru to live a life that the other Blades will envy!
absurd!
The huge sense of joy and strong fear seemed to dispel the inexplicable symptoms, and his dry eyes gradually started to function.
Blinking his eyes, a dim halo appeared beside them. It was dark, but it gave him a familiar feeling, a relaxing feeling, a similar feeling...
It turned out that our colleagues from Honmaru were the first to arrive?
You are really good! Everyone! Unfortunately, the night vision of the sword is too poor, and I can't really tell which sword you are...
Tsurumaru Kuninaga fell to the ground happily, with an absurd smile on his face, and he was talking like a madman, with bloodshot eyes, completely destroying the pure and noble beauty of the "Tsurumaru Kuninaga" sword...
Something unexpected happened this night...
*
When the hideous tentacles covered with flesh stretched out to Yasuke Hasebe, Bai Suchuan did not consider his own situation at all. It was not until the figure beside him who gave him a constant sense of security left that he suddenly realized the danger!
The tentacle was indeed directed at Hasebe, but the owner of the tentacle had other intentions!
The humanoid curse power approached him leisurely, hugged his neck intimately, and sniffed his neck with its face. Bai Suchuan dared not move, he could feel the cold touch on his neck, not from a human, but from a murderous curse spirit!
Bai Suchuan swallowed nervously in his throat, he had a premonition of something.
Sure enough, the hand suddenly jumped up and clamped his throat, preventing him from breathing!
Bai Suchuan was in so much pain that he couldn't open his eyes. In his peripheral vision, he saw Tsurumaru Kuninaga slowly falling down beside Yakiri Hasebe. Soon, the oxygen couldn't support him anymore and he couldn't think any more...
Three minutes...
...Hasn’t it arrived yet?
Xia Youjie, who had promised three minutes, did want to help him at first, but he didn't go there in person. Instead, he sent a first-level cursed spirit to convey a message to the real person, asking him not to go too far.
Until he received the method of "Spirit Corpse" sent by Bai Suchuan!
The sorcerer who came up with this mind-numbing yet highly feasible operation is definitely an unknown genius!
If it was the real Geto Suguru, I would definitely want to get to know him.
However, Geto Suguru, who was occupied by the noose, just wanted to laugh heartily!
He has coveted the Tsukumogami for a long time. When its master cancels the contract, the mark he had made with the excuse will immediately take effect, turning this powerful and beautiful creature into a half-Tsukumogami and half-curse form!
Not only that, the curse will gradually spread to the owner after the contract is renewed, and then spread to all the swords and tsukumogami owned by the owner!
At that time, as long as Shirasu Kawan is killed silently, the Tsukumogami who are difficult to distinguish between good and evil will be ostracized by their organizations and will naturally turn to the cursed side!
His plan finally saw the light of day!
Shirasu swallowed the "spiritual core" that he had been holding in his mouth since he was choked by dust. It was a bead from a hairpin that Tsurumaru Kuninaga claimed to have lost, and he temporarily attached a spell to it. He had discovered that the thing was not lost, but Tsurumaru's hairpin string broke during the battle that day, so he was embarrassed to give it to him again, so he kept it a secret. He accidentally found Tsurumaru's little secret, and secretly took one out of fun, waiting to take it out and laugh at him later.
The first and second steps of transformation are completed, the third step -
"Real Death"!
It's not fake death, but in the process of tearing the card, the body discards its body parts, discards its senses, and turns its internal organs into mist, causing all the cells in the body to die instantly, and then fill them with lifeless fake cells. Whatever it looked like before death, it will remain the same after it becomes a cursed corpse.
During this process, the player has no sense of pain and no sense of three-dimensionality. It is just like loading a computer game. When the progress bar ends, the transformation is completed. That moment is equivalent to full health resurrection, and it also has the characteristics of painless and easy recovery. Therefore, this method is quite popular in the forum! After all, if you learn to use it well, you can create a second life for the character!
The only side effect is that if you want to transform back into a human, you have to wait for the dead cells to be renewed again, which is a very long process!
Bai Suchuan already had a strong sense of impending death. He didn't know when Geto Suguru would come. He felt that perhaps he would soon face the irresistible death...
Having admired the human's expression of agony enough, the real person was sure that he saw a signal of "seeking death" in his eyes.
He smacked his lips, regretting that he had ruined another interested human.
What a pity!
I'll make you into a cyborg and keep you by my side forever!
He will cherish it and use it only when absolutely necessary!
"——Transformation without action."
Bai Suchuan's eyeballs exploded, his head swelled like a balloon, but his limbs became rough like an elephant's trunk and shortened to three centimeters, and continued to shorten. His belly sunken in, squeezed and shrunk by an invisible force... A handsome young man died as a monster...
Jiang Jiu was waiting quietly to be strangled to death, but who would have thought that he would turn into a monster in the next second, with his head deformed and intracranial pressure changed, and he died in this way!
No, no, no, no! This deformed cursed skeleton form is not what he desires!
Jiang Jiu went crazy and collapsed. He waited in the small dark room for the progress bar to end and then wake up...
It’s better not to wake up!
This must be a nightmare! Well, a nightmare.
He got his wish and turned into a "spiritual skeleton". Not only did he not die, but he also had abundant spiritual power!
Unfortunately, this deformed body couldn't move normally, let alone complete the counterattack. When he moved, he even surprised the special curse spirit: "Wow, you're not dead yet! Great, great!"
Three minutes had already passed, and he knew that Geto Suguru would not come.
Not only that, the contracts between all the sword masters and the Shinsengumi in the Honmaru were also broken.
He could already imagine that everyone who stayed in Honmaru was living happily, expecting the Shinsengumi to find a way to bring Oshikiri Hasebe back, but they were suddenly filled with panic and anger when their contract was terminated.
It would be a mess, right? he guessed.
Death is never something that can be easily picked up or put down.
Jiang Jiu regretted it.
He doesn't want to experience what it's like to be a monster! He wants to turn back into a human!
Even if I die, I will die as a human being!

The assistant supervisor's car sped up to 180 miles per hour, and Megumi Fushiguro received a call from Gojo Satoru.
"Don't go, Nanami will take two other first-level sorcerers with her."
"Why? Mr. He and Mr. Bai..."
Gojo Satoru's voice came from the phone. His tone was exactly the same as usual, but it was coated with a layer of adult calmness by the current.
"The curse of this special-grade cursed spirit is not something we can deal with now." As for the two people mentioned by Fushiguro Megumi, Gojo Satoru avoided talking about them.
"But..." Saving lives is important!
The call was hung up, and Fushiguro Megumi clenched his fists. All kinds of bad guesses popped up in his mind, and he looked at his companions.
My companions were silent.
The assistant supervisor who also heard Fushiguro Megumi's hands-free phone asked while pressing the steering wheel: "Arnold, should we, uh, go back?"
Since Gojo Satoru hung up, Jiufangzhen clenched his fists. His face was gloomy and his fingers were already gripping the handlebars, as if if someone said they wanted to turn around and go back, he would immediately jump out of the car and go by himself!
"Tsk! You brat!" Kugisaki Nobara was the first to attack. She angrily shouted at the Nine Squares: "Are we all a bunch of cowards in your eyes?"
"We're not going back! Let's keep going forward. We'll just meet this rare special-grade weapon! I haven't had a good fight with the cursed tool in my hand yet!"
Jiu Fangzhen was a little confused about whose voice it was: Kugisaki Nobara or Zenin Maki, but that didn't stop him from understanding the meaning of these words.
He lowered his eyes, loosened his hands, turned his head away and ignored everyone.
"You bastard! What's the point of imitating that guy Fushiguro's stinky face!"
The Nine Square Formation was just a deaf ear to the wind.
He was worried about Bai Suchuan, who was in a difficult situation right now.
Bai Qichuan, no, Jiang Jiu - Jiang Jiu didn't want to admit that this unrecognizable transformed man was his gentle and dignified boss!
Because he became a cursed corpse, the real person's transformation could not continue. The real person's wish to make him the size of a finger and swallow him into his stomach for storage was shattered. He was left where he was, and heard the real person say mischievously: "Another companion! That's great, and a special grade one! It turns out that his plan is really being implemented!"
Who is he talking about? An extra special grade... who is it?
Jiang Jiu lost his sense of direction. He had no eyes, and couldn't find the direction where Tsurumaru and Hasebe fell. He could only hear the clattering sound of the special grade cursed spirit.
Zhenren stroked Jiang Jiu's body with regret: "What a pity, you are not young enough, I can only leave you here. Woo! You are still alive now, I really want to take you away and study you carefully!"
He looked in the distance and saw a black car stopped, and several sorcerers in school uniforms running towards him.
"Wow, my lovely human, see you later..."
……? !
The special cursed spirit's ankle was firmly grasped by a hand! The real person felt the force and raised his foot in confusion. The force was enough to crush the giant elephant to death, but he couldn't break free! The next moment, an ominous force was injected into his body! Hiss——
He had seen this power in Tsurumaru Kuninaga, but it was only a thin layer!
This person, this person seems to have a huge reserve, which is completely different from Tsurumaru Kuninaga's painless flesh-cutting damage with a utility knife!
It's not like Ryoumen Sukuna's direct attack on the soul, but it's to wear away! Wear away his cursed power! Wear away his constitution!
The face of the sorcerer became clearer and clearer. He couldn't use the body that had fought two consecutive battles to face the third battle! He had to leave!
Let me go!
The real person transformed into a blade and cut off the arm that was holding him, but then another arm grabbed his "blade", making it impossible for him to escape!
This was perhaps the most serious damage he had received today! It couldn't even be restored naturally over time! It could only be repaired by the accumulated malice of mankind!
Damn it! Damn it!
Afraid of being grabbed again, he took out the Hasebe knife in his arms and slashed it neatly!
The sharp sword easily cuts through the cyborg's body, just like every time it cuts into a human body.
The real person didn't have time to shake off the blood on the knife. In order to save the huge amount of magic power that was consumed in just a few seconds, he turned into a child, moved his legs very quickly, and ran in the opposite direction of the sorcerer.
He didn't know that he had made another mistake.
The "guilty minister" who witnessed his lord's predicament and was powerless to do anything, suppressed Hasebe.
He drank the Lord's blood again, carrying an endless hatred, and was reborn from hell to block his escape, despite his many sins.
