Chapter 242: Brain Flower's Rules Announced
For ordinary people in the world of spellcasting, the whole world has become magical since the Qishan incident.
Needless to say, the Qishan incident itself caused a stir in public opinion. Although many sorcerers did not show it on the surface, they had already begun to connect the previous doubts in private, suspecting that there was another conspiracy behind the scenes at the top level, and the real purpose of the Regulatory Commission.
Then, the execution of Ryomen Sukuna was carried out.
However, the most explosive thing is that the execution was successful, but the only person who died was the container, Yuji Itadori, while the Cursed King broke free from his shackles and reappeared in the world.
In the chaos, the head of the Kamo family was killed. This caused the Kamo family, one of the three major families, to fall into a brief chaos, but it was soon quelled.
However, the person who calmed the chaos was not Kenshin Kamo, the candidate for the head of the family who was still studying at Kyoto Jujutsu High School, but someone else - a woman with a seam on her forehead who was said to have been recommended by the elders of the Kamo family.
According to the feudal custom of the Yusan family that favored sons over daughters, it was surprising that a woman was recommended to take over the throne. What was even more surprising was that this woman was not a member of the Kamo family.
An outsider who is not a member of the family was able to take over the family, not to mention the Kamo family, one of the three famous families! This completely violated the family rules.
However, after such an unexpected incident, the remaining two of the three families who usually shared the same hatred and defended feudal interests did not have any elders stand up to express their objections.
The top brass also chose to turn a blind eye and did not mention anything about the Kamo family.
Not long after the woman took over the Kamo family, she visited the Zenin family in the name of the family.
What happened next was unknown to the public, and the public's attention was soon drawn to more eye-catching events in the world of sorcery.
Compared to the Eight Trigrams and the Three Families, most people in the world of curses are more concerned about their own safety. Ever since the King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna escaped from the container and regained his freedom, the world of curses has been in a state of panic.
Although the Curse King Ryomen Sukuna has not yet launched a large-scale attack, everyone is on edge. They are worried that if they fall asleep, they will accidentally find themselves in Ryomen Sukuna's territory and never wake up again.
This tense atmosphere reached its peak after the sudden change.
Suddenly, barriers formed in major cities, connecting with each other and encircling the entire Japan!
This is exactly the first of Brainflower's "evolution of all mankind". It intends to start with Japan as an experiment, cover the entire world after the core is charged, and ultimately realize the plan of exploring the potential of all mankind.
An unknown huge cursed force was vibrating and spreading within the enclosed barrier. Whether or not one was a sorcerer, one could feel the vibration in the air.
Ordinary people in society who don't know the truth panic and think that an earthquake is coming, while the sorcerer who can sense the fluctuation of the curse power changes his expression drastically. In any case, everyone realizes that some danger is coming.
As society descended into chaos, a translucent barrier dropped from the sky. Everyone within the barrier could see the barrier and hear the contents of the electronic voice announcement.
【Welcome to the [New World] game. In order to conduct this game fairly, there will be a general introduction to spells for ordinary people before the game starts. Congratulations, you are about to witness a new concept.】
The words on the transparent barrier flashed and disappeared, and a clear picture appeared on it.
In just five minutes, the screen completely reveals the concepts of curses, techniques, and sorcerers that have been kept secret from ordinary people by the high-level sorcerers!
Although this introduction is very general, it does expose the world of spellcasting to the general public.
Ordinary people on the ground could not accept these concepts immediately. Some even thought that everything that was happening was a dream and tried to hurt themselves to get rid of the magical scene before their eyes.
But facts are facts, and Brain Flower obviously doesn't intend to give ordinary people time to react.
After a brief introduction to the world of spells, the screen of the barrier flashed by, and then turned back to the previous text image, and began to describe the rules.
[The following are the rules of the game, please remember:
1. All personnel (humans and cursed spirits) covered by the barrier have their information recorded. They cannot leave the barrier at will before the end of the game, otherwise their lives will be deprived by the rules.
2. The game ends when the total number of humans and cursed spirits within the barrier is less than one million.
3. You can get points by killing others in the barrier. The barrier will be cleaned up once a month, and the 10,000 people with the lowest points will be eliminated (death). You can get 50 points for each magician/intelligent curse spirit killed, and 1 point for each ordinary person/non-intelligent curse spirit killed.
4. Ordinary people can go to the glowing point of the enchantment in each city, register and receive the spell tools. If you can activate the potential of the spell by yourself, you can get an additional 50 points.
5. ……】
Jiang Lai and others who were in the basement could also hear the electronic sound coming from outside. This electronic sound was probably given special rules and was not restricted by conditions such as distance. It was transmitted equally and clearly to everyone's ears.
Jiang Lai listened carefully to the rules arranged by Naohua and analyzed them calmly in his heart.
The layout of the new series has some similarities to the death return of the original, but there are more differences.
After all, this is a new series, and the background and development of this world are different from the original.
From the perspective of the scientific audience, the answer is "it's a new book, but the development is the same as the original. Is it just a copy and paste to cheat people out of money?"
Jiang Lai's thoughts wandered for a second, then he retracted them and began to ponder the rules that Naohua had just announced.
First, before the rules were revealed, Brain Flower exposed the information about the world of magic to the general public. Such shocking news was so sudden that it was bound to cause chaos in society.
And this is exactly in line with the original intention of brain flower.
The rules that follow reveal the cruelty of this so-called "game". Brainflower intends to let all characters (humans and cursed spirits) fight each other in order to stimulate their potential.
The premise for the "game" to end is that the total number of cursed spirits and humans in the barrier is less than one million. This number seems high, but it is actually very small.
The current population of Japan is 100 million, plus the number of cursed spirits, the total number within the barrier is very large. To reach one million, a lot of them need to be eliminated.
Moreover, the rules of Brainflower do not mention that the barrier will not be expanded. According to the goal of "evolution of all mankind", there is a high probability that the barrier will gradually cover the entire world.
Then this total of one million seems even smaller.
How brutal a competition would it take to end it all?
From the points obtained, it can be seen that the rules seem to focus on the balance between magicians and ordinary people, and the kill scores vary, but in reality, ordinary people are not given much room to survive.
Brains force ordinary people to unleash their potential, squeezing out negative emotions and causing them to explode. At the same time, they drive those without potential to death.
The rule is to clear out the bottom 10,000 people once a month, which eliminates the possibility of passive resistance and evasion to survive.
In addition to the rules themselves, there are many unstable factors in the barrier: the sorcerer cursed spirits represented by [Kuroi Misato] who signed a treaty with Naohua thousands of years ago, and the Curse King who has regained his freedom and his subordinate Rimei.
These unstable factors seriously disrupted the original social order, causing the entire barrier to fall into chaos based on rules.
Of course, Ryoumen Sukuna had signed a bond with Jiang Lai, so he would not kill too recklessly.
But Jiang Lai knew that such restraints could not completely trap the opponent. Ryomen Sukuna quickly found a loophole and continued to do what he wanted to do.
That guy's peace of mind is temporary, but his recklessness is permanent.
Therefore, time is very precious.
The conditions for ending Naohua's "game" are too strict, and Jiang Lai certainly won't go along with him.
In addition to achieving the clearance conditions, the game can also end by breaking the rules and destroying the barrier.
Apart from the laws of nature, there are no rules in the world that cannot be changed. What Jiang Lai and his team have to do is to find a breakthrough as soon as possible and break the rules of Brain Flower directly!
Jiang Lai's thoughts were flowing.
At the dining table, upon hearing the news, Yuji Itadori widened his eyes in shock: "…Why?! Such a game is obviously an unfair competition of killing each other——"
"Yes, it's an unfair game." Zhang Xiang said calmly, "The guy with the stitches on his forehead is always like this. He will pursue the maximum benefit for himself."
Little Sheep Jiang Lai held his chin with one hand and said slowly: "It seems to be a bit troublesome... but it's not completely clueless. The key is to find the core of the barrier and destroy the formation that supports the rules."
"Time is precious because after a month, the rules will start to clear out the last-place candidates," said Xiang.
Yuji Itadori revealed his worry and the righteous indignation of a young man: "To eliminate 10,000 people at the end... This is a complete and unscrupulous killing of lives!"
Most ordinary people can't even see curse spirits, let alone kill them. Even if there are free curse tools to be obtained, the quantity is limited. Moreover, it is difficult for ordinary people to master the use of curse tools in a short period of time.
Another way to earn points is to kill people. It is difficult for many people to change their minds quickly and kill people. The kinder people are, the easier it is to be eliminated.
For example, Megumi Fushiguro's sister, Miki Fushiguro, is likely to be on the elimination list.
In addition, some auxiliary sorcerers may also be gradually included in the elimination list in the later stages.
For example, Naoko Ieiri, who has mastered the reversal technique, is a supporting type, so it is difficult for her to really participate in the game and gain a large number of points.
So, Jiang Lai thought, this decisive battle actually had a time limit.
For them, one month is the deadline. They need to break their brains before the rules kick in and clean up.
The silver snake Xiao Zhao slowly walked around the table and crawled to the side of the little sheep Jiang Lai. Its cold body wrapped around Jiang Lai's wrist, and its gray-green eyes were filled with an attacking power that had been dormant for a long time - aimed at the brain that caused this trouble.
Jiang Lai raised his other hand and gently touched Silver Snake Xiaozhao's pointed lips.
He lightly blinked the dark eyes of the young man at this time, and more tacit understanding was transmitted from his eyes through this vest.
The recent basement training is nearing completion, and the conditions for evolution will soon be met.
Regardless of the outcome of the evolution, thinking outside of the game and following the rules of the technique will be an improvement in strength.
After Little Sheep Jiang Lai summons a shikigami with his electronic elf ritual, as long as the cursed energy is sufficient, the shikigami can still exist even if he switches back to his original form.
Then, after completing the evolution, he can use his original body to go to the battlefield and cooperate with his scientific friends again.
Jiang Lai's eyelids were slightly lowered, with a smile on the corners of his lips.
Time and space have changed. Although they have moved to a different dimension, they are once again in the same boat and are facing the final battle again.
