Chapter 127

Bai Yun probably realized that Gojo Satoru had something to say to him.

But he was still shocked by the other party's expression.

The person who can make "let's talk" sound like "let's talk" - Bai Yun can only say that he is worthy of it.

Fortunately, everyone present knew what kind of person Gojo Satoru was, so no one thought of anything wrong.

——Oh, no, my arrogant brothers don’t know.

Zhan Xiang did not try to hide the disgust on his face. If he did not have only two hands but so many younger brothers, Bai Yun suspected that he would even cover his brothers' ears with his hands.

However, although he did not make similar moves, Zhang Xiang could no longer stay there.

Before he left, Bai Yun stepped forward and cast a simple triggering illusion on his brothers.

"As long as the effect of the technique remains, they will appear to be ordinary people whose faces are hard to remember."

However, this disguise cannot last forever. Once the magic power is exhausted, they will return to their original state.

Bai Yun actually knew that he had some Saint Mother in him, and he wanted to get involved even in matters that had nothing to do with him. It was not that he didn't want to get rid of the problem once and for all this time, but the main reason was that he didn't know what would become of the technique he left behind after he left.

It is better to let people be prepared at all times than to give them a sense of security and then suddenly let go.

Zhan Xiang nodded solemnly, and when he left, he stretched out his hand and made a "3" gesture to Bai Yun.

——As for what the front desk would do after they found out that eight strange men inexplicably walked out of the room, that was not something Bai Yun had to consider.

After Zhang Xiang and the others left, the room seemed to be empty all of a sudden.

Okkotsu Yuta very consciously found the nearest house and went in, leaving Bai Yun and Gojo Satoru standing in the living room staring blankly.

Gojo Satoru sat on the sofa and patted the spot beside him, motioning the Curse Spirit to sit down for a detailed discussion. Bai Yun stood there with a wooden face, looking down at him.

After a brief silence, Gojo Satoru sighed, "Okay."

His helpless tone was as if the one who was making trouble at this moment was "Uchiha Obito".

Before Bai Yun could figure out how to respond, Gojo Satoru's question startled him.

"What kind of person do you think Uchiha Madara is?"

Bai Yun's eyelids twitched.

He was somewhat unsure and asked Gojo Satoru what the purpose of this was.

"…What do you want to do?"

Gojo Satoru once again called the cursed spirit over, holding a cell phone, as if he had something to show him.

This time Bai Yun hesitated for two seconds, but still stepped forward.

He wanted to see why Gojo Satoru had such an idea.

Then he saw an interface that looked like a private forum. The font of the top post was marked in red and bold by the moderator. At first glance, it seemed as if every word contained blood and tears.

The title of that post is——【Yika Town Survival Manual】

Bai Yun: “…………”

Gojo Satoru opened the post. The first floor was filled with densely packed small characters. Although the format was neat, Bai Yun still felt dizzy after reading the content.

[Dear residents, when you step onto the land of Beika Town, you step into a brand new world. To ensure your safety, please follow the following rules, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences. ]

[1. Please stay kind in the territory of Beika Town. Beika Town is a friendly place. We have the highest efficiency in the world in related matters. Any evil will be brought to justice.]

[Therefore, if you see someone looking panicked or suspicious on the streets, alleys, or any other sparsely populated places, please do not panic or take any action. Ignore them and seek help from detectives if conditions permit.]

【2. Detective is a magical profession that is suitable for all ages and genders. They have observation abilities and moral senses beyond ordinary people, and they will not refuse anyone's help.】

[If someone you don't know asks you for some strange information, please don't hide it. That's part of the detectives' job. And you who helped the detectives have been assigned an identity. You are undoubtedly lucky...]

Although this is a topic created by a moderator, it seems that the moderator himself did not have any complete concept in his mind at the beginning. He just updated it intermittently and occasionally went back to modify the previous content.

Bai Yun quickly browsed through it and found that the basic idea of ​​the original poster was "be kind, help others more, value harmony in everything, take a step back and broaden the sky..."

Although the poster should be just an ordinary person who has noticed the laws of science, Bai Yun followed this line of thought and thought about it again -

If all of this could be done, it would seem that it would greatly reduce the chances of accidentally being involved in a homicide... or becoming a victim.

Bai Yun curiously asked Gojo Satoru to see what else the poster had written, but the touch-screen phone was obviously not compatible with unnatural creatures like cursed spirits.

Bai Yun only recalled this important question after he stretched out his hand. However, as a cursed spirit, the cursed power he carried with him at all times had already affected the delicate parts inside the phone.

Afterwards, the screen started to slide uncontrollably as if it was touched by a wet finger, but it was more serious, with colorful snowflakes flashing from time to time.

Finally, when the screen stopped, a line of blood-red characters appeared on it:

【Don't try to leave Beika-cho.】

The red words on a white background with a black frame create an extreme contrast between the simple colors. Although the entire post is not very serious, it is still very intimidating at first glance.

“That’s not all.”

While Bai Yun was lost in thought, Gojo Satoru exited the post and opened a new one.

That post summarizes some of the changes that have taken place in Beika Town since the arrival of the sacred tree.

Including the changes in housing prices in various places due to properties becoming haunted houses, even renting has become a lot cheaper. However, because people have less trust in each other, there are very few people who share a house recently. Most people tend to rent the entire house unless they really can't afford it.

In addition, after some school and workplace bullies were eliminated, the number of bullying cases in these two settings has also decreased a lot.

For the lower classes, life seems to be getting better.

But in reality, no matter what the matter is, once there are enough samples, other situations will inevitably emerge.

Because a considerable number of murderers are actually grassroots people who fought back angrily after being oppressed. Because they expressed their attitudes in a not-so-correct way, this group has recently been labeled with a completely new label:

【Criminal Reserve】

This is certainly neither fair nor just, but nothing is perfect.

The whole society is adapting to this new but invisible unspoken rule, and is gradually trying out its own new rules of survival.

Looking back at history, most rules were not perfect when they were first established. They were just a list of the most needed rules at the moment, and then further improved when problems arose in the future.

Then, a group of young people who wanted to do something for the world stood up.

For example, the nameless moderator, and Gojo Satoru.

"First of all, I have to admit that the old man's method is very good."

As soon as Gojo Satoru opened his mouth, Bai Yun couldn't hold back any more - who are you calling old man? What are you talking about here! ?

When Bai Yun thought that this title was associated with Uchiha Madara, he could hardly control his expression.

Gojo Satoru ignored his frightened expression and continued to explain: "Now there is no curse, but all the contradictions are retained within humans - of course, the problems we are facing now have always existed, but now they have been magnified several times, so they have become more conspicuous."

“The world may need to manage pain, but I think there is a lot that can be improved.”

Gojo Satoru gestured twice in the air in the direction of the sacred tree: "When I looked for him before, I couldn't find Uchiha Madara. I guess the turmoil in the world was enough to keep him busy, so he just left the sacred tree behind."

Bai Yun followed Gojo Satoru's thoughts and went through them again, his voice full of confusion: "...So?"

Gojo Satoru: "So, we can volunteer to help him and come up with some plans together."

Bai Yun: “…………”

In that case, it is estimated that a fight will break out before "Uchiha Sasuke" is sent away.

Just when Bai Yun wanted to turn around and leave, the little idiot noticed the host's troubles and took the initiative to talk.

【Don't worry.】

After gradually becoming familiar with his own body, although the body of the little mentally retarded boy is still relatively abstract, his voice has become much more mature and is no longer as sharp as scratching glass.

Even when he was in despair, Bai Yun still felt a little bit reliable when he heard someone comforting him in this way.

【Leave it to me. 】

Bai Yun hesitated for two seconds, looked at Gojo Satoru's face again, and finally decided to accept the gift from the little idiot.

So, on the next day, Bai Yun followed Gojo Satoru and the others to send "Uchiha Sasuke" back.

Bai Yun was feeling somewhat uneasy. Before they set off, the idiot explained all the procedures to him in detail. However, there were some things that Bai Yun did not understand, so he was privately afraid that he would not be able to save the situation.

But the idiot pointed at the task progress bar and assured Bai Yun that he would be free after this mission was completed, and he wouldn't have to worry about anything that happened afterwards. So Bai Yun, who was not very good at scripts, finally decided to give it a try.

There were more people on the streets than the last time Bai Yun and his team came, including more patrolmen, but they still couldn't prevent these cheaters.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the grandeur of the sacred tree. I don't know if it's because the accumulated magic power has increased, but the exposed roots seem to be thicker and stronger, and look more vibrant. The magic power it emits is almost visible to the naked eye.

"According to what was said before, as long as we pray sincerely enough, our dreams will come true?"

Gojo Satoru muttered a few words to himself, and then whispered something. Bai Yun could only vaguely hear a few unclear words such as "quality control" and "screening group".

"Uchiha Sasuke" seemed to have been completely absorbed by the sacred tree. He ignored Gojo Satoru's nonsense and walked slowly forward until his palm touched the rough tree trunk.

The next second, the cursed energy began to spread out like a wave from the part where "Uchiha Sasuke" was in contact with the sacred tree. The wind and waves swept outward, rustling everyone's hair and clothes.

The body of "Uchiha Sasuke" slowly collapsed, and Otsukotsu Kyouta hurried forward to catch him, and the figure of "Uchiha Madara" slowly appeared on the other side.

He seemed to have grown out of the tree rings, as if he had just crossed the long river of time. After a quick glance around, he sighed and said, "Really? Is that what you are planning?"

Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow: "You don't look very satisfied."

"Are you more inclined to embrace a completely new and unknown world?"

"I just think you lack courage."

"Uchiha Madara" snorted coldly.

"When you encounter a problem, choose to step over it instead of solving it. This idea is fine for treating life, but it's not the way to change the world, kid."

Okkotsu Yuta couldn't help but lower his head.

Between maintaining the status quo and challenging the unknown, they chose the former.

This is their responsibility, and they also bear the corresponding pressure. The more they think, the more they are restricted and unable to make more risky decisions.

And "Uchiha Madara" seems to be dissatisfied with the choices made by their younger generations.

Yes, from the fact that Uchiha Madara put them down instead of letting them hang on the tree forever, we can see that he has very radical ideas about changing the world.

So - before, when "Uchiha Madara" hinted at the existence of "Uchiha Sasuke", it was not because he was unable to help and wanted them to help send the person back, but he had another purpose?

Did they miss something?

Before Otsutsuki could figure it out, he heard "Uchiha Madara" say again: "Forget it, I already know your answers."

He tapped the scepter in his hand.

Another wave of more powerful cursed energy spread out. Otsutsukoshi Yuta couldn't help but put his hands in front of him, feeling the familiar technique wrapped in it, and couldn't help but look at the position on the branch of the sacred tree.

This seems to be [Infinite Moon Reading], but it is a version that has been weakened many times.

"Uchiha Madara" did not deliberately bypass the people present, so Otsukino Yuta could feel an invitation emerging in his mind.

——He is asking people whether they are inclined towards the real world or the illusory dream world.

"Now it's time for others to choose."

I don't write until the deadline, and I'm still sleepy the next day. I'm a very flexible person ()
