Chapter 37: The Ghost Movie Comes True, Be Prepared (Present Master 1)
The Fusangshen is stumbling around in the technologically advanced world.
For example, without paper maps, the Fusangshen couldn't understand navigation, and without the guidance of Kitsunesuke, they were sadly lost in the steel forest of tall buildings. Another example is Mikazuki Munechika, who was too lazy to walk and couldn't take the train alone. At an old age, he tried to ride a bicycle, but couldn't keep his balance and fell miserably on the road.
Similar incidents happened so many times that Yakiri Hasebe had to seek help from the only person they knew in the real world, Kito Shiya.
Ji Teng Si also gladly offered help, for example, he printed out an electronic map and sent Mikazuki Munechika, who had scratched his knee and arm, to the clinic for bandages...
Otherwise, Hasebe, who was ordered to bring everyone back to the Honmaru safely, would have committed seppuku in anger!
Kito Si also received some Japanese sweets sent by Chokudaikiri, which were made by this culinary-loving Tsukumogami himself.
To thank him for his selfless help to several people.
Fusangshen offered to repay with money, but was rejected by Ji Teng Si with a smile, saying "it's just a small matter."
Everyone was having a great time, except for Yasuke Hasebe, who felt that his side had exposed too much - lacking common sense and skills to survive in modern society...
No matter how you look at it, the excuse of "I came from the countryside and have never seen the world" is not a valid one.
But there was no flaw in Ji Teng Si's performance. There was no contempt nor suspicion, only the laughter and helpless ridicule after discovering that they had done something stupid.
Apart from the lord, is there really anyone who would help a stranger they have just met for a few days without asking for anything in return?
Hasebe suppressed the doubts in his heart, focused on the actions of the Jujutsu High School, and stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, after completing the mission, they will have no more contact. No matter what Ji Teng Si plans to do, it will not affect their purpose.
Besides, if he really had some bad intentions...
Yakiri Hasebe was not afraid, at most he was just worried: should he hand the person over to the police in the real world? Or should he use force to give him a small punishment?
Even in the worst of situations, they have a way to cope with it.
"Come to think of it, you came to Tokyo for something important to do, right?" Picking out the most perfect circle on a plate of dim sum, Ji Teng Si cut it into four equal parts with a knife and asked casually as if chatting.
His relationship with Chokudaikiri and Hasebe had become much closer, so asking the question naturally would not cause excessive vigilance.
"Ah, the specific reason is not convenient to disclose. However, it is very important." Afraid that Chokudaikiri would reveal something, Yakiri Hasebe answered quickly.
"Really? Since it's an important matter, we must move forward with determination." Sitting on the sofa with his back to everyone, Ji Teng Siye had a subtle smile on his face.
"Oh, I will."
Ji Teng Si also lowered Tsukumogami's vigilance and solved a few minor troubles at the same time.
While he was providing help to the Swords, he also used them to drive away several groups of "fans" who were prying into his personal privacy.
Those people found out his address and would occasionally come and wait for him. They didn't necessarily have bad intentions towards him, but they might just want to see how he was doing and post false statements online to attract attention.
Ji Tengsi also couldn't stand others snooping into his privacy. He didn't want to see such fanatical "fans" in his "private sphere".
These helpers came just in time!
After the Fusangshen knew of his troubles, they were very enthusiastic to help him create an illusion: multiple strangers frequently came in and out of the apartment, suggesting that the owner had changed and there was no need to wait there.
They even persuaded their agent Saito Kidō, who was waiting at the door and trying to persuade him to change his mind, to leave.
Anyway, it was just a small matter that could be done with just a little effort, so Kito Si showed a slightly distressed look and pretended to apologize, saying "Sorry for the trouble you have caused." The tsukumogami, who were deceived by the young man's serious and sincere appearance, of course agreed without hesitation.
If they encounter paparazzi whose behavior crosses the line, they will educate them.
After discovering that this group of "non-humans" were so useful, Ji Teng Si, who had originally just gone with the flow, also had some bad ideas.
To deal with mysterious guys, perhaps this kind of power that ordinary people cannot reach is needed.
Isn't that guy very alert? He can even detect the gaze behind him.
With good skills, can he defeat the swordsman Tsukumogami?
He is sensitive to electronic devices and can detect surveillance cameras. Can he resist the surveillance of the harmless-looking short sword Tsukumogami?
It would be nice if I also had this group of obedient subordinates...
Obey orders, be loyal to the master, and have superb martial arts skills...
I’m so envious.
They are obviously the same person. The other "me" can have so many subordinates at his disposal, so why can't I?
He just lacked the opportunity.
Want to take it away...

#The time goes back to the day before the juvenile detention center incident#
Today, Kashuu Kiyomitsu reported to the "captain" Yakiri Hasebe for the third time.
He said weakly, "Someone at the juvenile detention center in Nishitokyo City saw an unidentified object in the sky. It wasn't an official news report, it was just gossip on a paranormal forum."
He didn't hold out much hope. There were too many bizarre things happening in Japan! The number of people who died from unknown causes was too large, and there were three or five incidents every day that seemed to be caused by cursed spirits.
Many crimes committed by humans are blamed on ghosts and gods and spread around.
Among them, most will be quickly cracked by the mysterious profession of "detective".
But humans always like to believe in strange things, and make things that can be explained by logic into something fantastic...
This caused great trouble to California's light cleaning work.
It was so difficult for him to lock onto the target on the Internet!
"Ahhh - anyway, let Ran make one more trip!"
Yakiri Hasebe's rigor made him not give up any possibility. He immediately issued an order, asking Rantoshiro to go to the address sent by Kiyomitsu in California to investigate.
"Oh, is the news accurate? I've made two trips in vain today! I've been wasting my energy these days! I should have taken advantage of these days to relax and go shopping!" Rantoshiro complained.
Yakiri Hasebe had been busy for nearly a week and was a little exhausted. But he pulled himself together and persuaded Rantoshiro: "Hold on! Tomorrow is the turning point for change! We only have this one chance to set things right! For our lord, we must not let down our guard!"
"Okay, I got it!" Rantoshiro had no intention of relaxing, he was just complaining. Why was Yakiri Hasebe so serious!
But this time, he found something unusual.
A short sword-wielding Tsukumogami who looked like a pretty little girl stood on the roof of a residential building near the juvenile detention center, staring at the sky.
Some kind-hearted people were worried that the child might fall off the roof due to playing, so they came over to advise him not to get too close to the edge.
Rantoshiro naturally agreed with a smile.
Soon, he dialed the communicator of Yakiri Hasebe and put away his smile.
“It seems to be real this time.”
Rantoshiro fiddled with his hair and walked down the stairs while saying, "Although I am not a divine sword, and I don't have human cursed power, and I can't see the so-called cursed spirits. However, the sky here exudes an ominous atmosphere, and even I can feel the danger."
"I understand. There must be no direct battle. You find a place to hide first, ignore the actions of the 'Cursed Spirit', and just look for the traces of the marching army. Chokudaikiri and Mikazuki will follow!" Yakiri Hasebe instructed seriously.
He and Minghu plan to follow the team that kills ghosts in the high school to avoid the situation where the actual target of the mission that Yuji Itadori receives is not the juvenile detention center.
But they also need to make arrangements in the juvenile detention center in advance to guard against intrusions by the Time Travel Army at any time!
The information provided by the government of time was too little! There were not many historical records about this bloody and tragic period, and the swords had no memory of this period at all! Yakiri Hasebe did not find any relevant information. The only information he got was a few pages of paper provided by the government of time.
Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara are safe, and Itadori Yuji "faked his death" in this incident, but in fact he died because his heart was taken out. It was only later that he got a second life because of a chance he had gotten before.
As for the fourth person who does not exist in the record, he may not be famous in history, or he died early and was not recorded.
The mysterious laws of the world of curses are mysterious and unpredictable. The method of resurrection from the dead sounds bizarre and absurd. It was unheard of in the Heian period when there were all kinds of demons and monsters. This is definitely not God's favor. There must be a price to pay!
During the government observation of time, historical revisionists changed the death of Yuji Itadori so that the "price" no longer existed, thus preventing everything that happened afterwards.
If they succeed, it will certainly be a good thing for the continuity of human civilization at this stage. But for the future world that has developed hundreds of years later, the existence of the world will be contradictory. Future humans will be like floating duckweed, and face the end of time and space collapse at any time.
The Government of Time has made a clear request: as long as the sword masters repair the damaged nodes, confirm that Yuji Itadori will die tomorrow, and save the precarious timeline, no matter what means they use, they will be supported.
Time quickly came to the next day.
The three Fusangshen had been waiting in the juvenile detention center outside of Beijing for the entire morning.
Mikazuki Munechika, the most spiritual one, felt it more deeply than the other two.
He couldn't see the so-called "curse power" that filled the air, but at a certain moment, he sensed that the curse power had undergone a qualitative change. The malice was mixed with a domineering and tyrannical aura, and it was as ostentatious as the evil and wanton ghosts and gods thousands of years ago, who fed on humans and took pleasure in killing people.
Mikazuki Munechika moved closer calmly, his fingers resting on the hilt of the sword.
For this expedition, he had a longer-term vision than Hasebe.
On the surface, they are just defending the "correct death" of Itadori Yuji in history. Just like their peers led by the Shinsengumi many years ago, even if they are struggling in their hearts, they have to hide their knots and defend the history of their former master's death.
What's more, the young man, Yuji Itadori, was able to come back to life this time.
Stopping the rescue of the upstream army meant that they indirectly killed one person, or even tens of millions of people.
Swords are destined to be stained with blood from the day they are forged. Even if they become thinking gods, most swords will still not have a problem with killing people.
But their lords are different.
It was strange that their lord did not seem to be a native human of this world. He knew nothing about human history, and could only learn some partial history through the mouth of the Fusangshen. He was more concerned with the sword itself.
After the age of swords passed, the lord had no way of knowing all the developments in modern and contemporary times.
So, my lord, do you know that human civilization was toyed with by the "Cursed Spirit" and was almost cut off?
My Lord, do you know the purpose of their mission in this world?
Mikazuki's consideration is not unreasonable.
Even if Shirasu Chuan is a non-confrontational person, he is still a member of the human race.
The scene of blood flowing and millions of people wailing and struggling, even if it is not happening in front of you, will make people feel sad.
By then, can the lord, who is kind-hearted and adheres to the gentlemanly ways of ancient countries, hold his bottom line and firmly resist the time-traveling army?
…
Mikazuki Munechika stared at the dilapidated building that gave off an ominous feeling and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.
It would be fine if it was just a last-ditch battle by a few scattered troops, but if the historical revisionists were to revive and seize on this series of historical events to launch a frenzied attack...
Maybe... he will have to keep the team quiet and conceal the truth from the Shinsengumi...
…
"Minghu! We're leaving!" Yakiri Hasebe and Minghu ran through the lush forest. They had to hurry up and find a vehicle to follow behind the four people from the college!
"Yeah." The little fox clung tightly to Ming Fox's shoulders to avoid falling off due to Ming Fox's speed.
"California, how are you doing?"
"It's impossible to get a car to the Jujutsu High School! It's too remote! You should have informed me earlier!"
"Damn it! It's all my fault for not thinking it through! I thought we brought Skylark!"
"Hasebe, have you forgotten that you also marked in the book we gave us that 'It's called a road, but you can't ride a horse on it'!"
The little fox, with his hair ruffled by the wind, spoke with difficulty: "What should we do now? We can't just run behind the car all the way, can we?"
With a headache, Yakiri Hasebe took out the communicator.
Ask for help from the almighty friend.
*
Kito Shige, who had been monitoring Hasebe, also took off his headphones.
An action against the "jutsu world"?
The "non-existent" fourth person that Fusangshen mentioned should be the player's other identity.
Now that he had established contact with Tsukumogami, he also became interested in the world of sorcery.
Even if his life did not intersect with these supernatural powers, it would be good to know more unknown information. If he encountered an irresistible disaster one day, he would at least have a way to seek help.
Fusangshen are simple and easy to deceive. They have no sense of vigilance. He can use their naivety to achieve some goals. And the spell is completely beyond his control. He dare not act rashly.
However, within a safe range, he is happy to get involved and stir up trouble.
really.
After receiving a phone call from Hasebe, Kito Si also took a sip of coffee with satisfaction.
It was worth it for him to set aside an afternoon of free time.
*
The car that Ji Teng Si called quickly took Yakiri Hasebe and others to the road.
He smiled and responded to Yakiri Hasebe's numerous thanks. The little fox of Minghu didn't dare to speak in front of others, so it climbed into his arms and tried to act coquettishly to thank him, but he politely rejected it.
Yakiri Hasebe was worried for a long time, but he didn't wait for Kito Si to ask the reason.
He was even sensible enough to get off the car and leave halfway, without any desire to explore!
The two men and the fox sighed: "What a good man! He helps them without asking for anything in return!"
The sky was dark and gloomy, which was very consistent with the time-traveling army's pattern of appearance. They got off the car far away from the juvenile detention center and joined the other three who had been waiting in the dark.
California Clearing is on the way.
The five people present were engaged in an argument: should they follow the three students into the dangerous building?
Yakiri Hasebe advocated following closely behind. What if the Suxing Army was ambushed inside and they couldn't see it? Wouldn't they be put in a passive position?
Rantoshiro was more rational. He believed that the students of the technical high school had strong anti-detection capabilities, and they would be unable to defend themselves if they were discovered. Moreover, they could not see the cursed spirits, so if they were attacked, they would probably not be able to fight back.
Chokudaikiri and Meiko watched the two people's argument with a headache.
In the end, it was Mikazuki who had the final word: Don't panic, just wait for developments.
The old man was right, they didn't have to wait long at all.
Before California Qingguang arrived, the current situation had already developed into something they could not understand.
Two college students in uniforms fought each other, and one of them even ripped off his clothes!
Also, he took out his heart!
After I took it out, it was still able to move! It was still alive!
The swordsmen were not facing any life threats and could not see Fushiguro Megumi's shikigami. From their perspective, the two men fighting were completely one-sided in the hand-to-hand combat!
In the dim sky, the two sword-wielding warriors with poor reconnaissance abilities anxiously waited for others to report the scene.
The two katana-fusangami lowered their bodies and were ready for battle.
Rantoshiro, who had the best eyesight, stared in amazement at Yuji Itadori, who had black patterns all over his body, four eyes on his face, and a wild and evil laugh:
"Two, two-sided Sukuna?!"
Oh my god! Lord, save me! The ghost story that Tsurumaru Kuninaga told me before bed has come true!
