Chapter 73

The Land of Rain is just like its name, invaded by rain all year round. The humidity in the air reminds Gojo Satoru of a modern tropical rainforest. It seems that as long as people stand here, they will start to grow green hair from the inside out, but in this environment, there are no green plants around.

Considering that this place was forcibly used as a battlefield just a dozen years ago, Gojo Satoru was not surprised by this.

But...

"The world in your dreams is too dark."

Facing Gojo Satoru's merciless complaints, Bai Yun simply shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't help it. I'm used to it."

After hearing this, Gojo Satoru snorted softly and looked up at the gloomy sky.

Ever since stepping into the Land of Rain, Gojo Satoru's attention has been focused on the rain falling in lines.

Under the meticulous observation of the six eyes, he could see that every drop of rain was mixed with cursed energy, and the person behind it could sense everything that happened where the raindrops fell.

This requires enormous magical power and precise control, which is almost impossible for humans to do. Compared with the volcano head and tree branch eyes, it is more in line with Gojo Satoru's imagination of curses generated from natural disasters.

But the truth is quite the opposite, it was only a human being who did all this.

"This may also be the reason why Uchiha Madara gave up trapping people in dreams forever and chose to transform the real world instead."

Because just like how Gojo Satoru is always amazed at what people who died five hundred years ago can do, just like how Hatake Kakashi is completely unable to imagine a completely peaceful world...

Those who need help most may not even be able to imagine what a world without suffering would be like.

Sometimes they just want to change the status quo, are dissatisfied with the present and have no illusions about the future.

It's like an empty shell that has been given instructions. It just rushes towards the goal, but after actually achieving the results, it just falls into endless emptiness.

Just like the "Uchiha Obito" that Gojo Satoru had seen.

On the way from the intelligence house to the Rain Country, Bai Yun told Gojo Satoru everything he could.

Including but not limited to: Although Uchiha Obito has been enshrined in the memorial stone, he is still alive and has secretly set up an organization, intending to continue causing trouble under the name of Uchiha Madara.

According to his magical modification, in Gojo Satoru's heart, the time in this world now is the period after four stations, when the Uchiha clan was "encircled and suppressed", and now only a few people are left alive.

Given the existence of Otsukotsu Yuta, he was not surprised that the Uchiha clan still had an orphan.

And because from the current performance of "Hatake Kakashi", this guy is indeed a coward who doesn't even dare to dream big, Gojo Satoru has no objection to the fact that "Uchiha Obito is not only alive now, but also because of the experience of the Uchiha clan, he is unprecedentedly enthusiastic about [Infinite Tsukuyomi]."

To him, this logic made perfect sense.

Uchiha Obito's life was really hard.

Gojo Satoru asked himself, if he were in that position and had that ability, would he make the same choice as the other party?

If it was before he had a deep understanding of the world five hundred years ago, Gojo Satoru would have said categorically: He wouldn't.

The moral constraints from childhood to adulthood have ultimately made Gojo Satoru live within an invisible framework. Although he is always said to be a heretic, he has never crossed the bottom line that should not be touched.

But for the Uchiha people, their bottom line is not fixed, but changes flexibly with the attitude or status of important people.

So now, what Gojo Satoru is most curious about is that when he met Uchiha Obito in the human world, the other party did not look like he wanted to pick up the [Infinite Moonlight Reading] plan again.

Even when Gojo Satoru asked about it, the Curse Spirit only talked about Uchiha Madara's problem, and did not mention that he was originally a two-faced spy.

If it was before, Gojo Satoru might be inclined to think that "Uchiha Obito" was hiding something and immediately became alert, but after seeing the living conditions five hundred years ago and truly feeling the difference between the two sides, Gojo Satoru hesitated.

Although he has always been very dissatisfied with the world of sorcery and personally prefers the prosperous era five hundred years ago, Gojo Satoru still admits that for more ordinary people, the sense of happiness in modern times is far better than in ancient times.

"Uchiha Obito" has been sealed for hundreds of years and knows nothing about the future. Gojo Satoru doesn't think such an old antique would go online and doesn't know that there are still wars in corners of the world even now. However, what the cursed spirit sees is a world that is peaceful beyond imagination.

Of course, there are still curses that cannot be eradicated at their source, but compared to ancient times, their quantity and quality have declined significantly and are not worth mentioning at all.

This may be much better than the infinite moon-reading world that Uchiha Obito dreamed of.

When he realized this, the Curse Spirit was undoubtedly torn apart. His goal was achieved in a completely unexpected way. After losing power, the Curse Spirit just acted like a zombie, trying hard to remove any curse that came into his sight, even though he had long since abandoned his identity as a sorcerer.

Bai Yun held an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and the intelligence book he had just obtained in the other, which contained information about those family members.

The earliest place where these people can be traced back to is the border of the Rain Country where Bai Yun is at this time.

Unlike what he imagined, although these families can match the world of sorcery in terms of surnames, their numbers are far from enough and they have basically shrunk into small families composed of the original high-level people.

This group of old people, who had always held high positions in their original world and had never done housework by themselves, were thrown into a strange world and for a moment they were a little at a loss.

They have no background and no connections. Because of the differences in the world, even the strength that they were most proud of has been crushed to the ground. And because of the provocation before they understood the situation, they live worse than the civilians whom they usually look down upon the most.

In the end, it seemed that these old men from the families pooled their belongings with each other and finally pawned two cursed tools before they successfully found a place to stay in the Rain Village.

Bai Yun looked at the miserable appearance of the group of people in the newspaper and didn't think they were well prepared. Even the later move of the head of the Kamo family to look for Ah Fei seemed more like a desperate act rather than any real conspiracy.

That is to say, there are now three different modes of entering into other people's illusions, either actively or passively.

Thinking of this, Bai Yun felt unusually heavy-hearted. He put the intelligence book into his pocket, simply tidied up the tool bag beside his thigh, and then walked towards the residence of the old oranges as recorded in the records.

The Rain Country is not very big, not to mention that they already have a clear target and are very close. But even if they rushed here as soon as they got the intelligence, to greet Bai Yun and the others, the wooden house was still empty.

Bai Yun went in to check and found that there were basically no daily necessities in the room. She couldn't tell exactly when they left. She could only tell from the messy tables and chairs with one leg missing that they left suddenly and reluctantly.

Gojo Satoru came forward, observed for two seconds, and suddenly said: "Do we need to worry about whether our whereabouts are being monitored?"

He also realized that the situation of the old oranges was probably not very good, but he didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart, and even wanted to laugh.

But considering that the old oranges were so suspicious, the people who caught them would probably be hiding nearby to observe if there were any other forces behind them, so Gojo Satoru still asked one more question.

“It’s not a question of whether we should worry or not.”

Bai Yun shook his head and calculated the time in his heart: "He will definitely come, maybe even here now."

Of course Uchiha Obito would come over on his own initiative, because he must have realized that something was wrong.

This is just a virtual world in an illusion, but Uchiha Obito's mind is still functioning normally as it should. He will definitely notice the abnormality in the rotten oranges, discover the equally abrupt existence of Gojo Satoru, and then come to him.

"Can you get a rough idea of ​​his location?"

"cannot."

"But don't your Sharingans come in pairs? It felt like the connection between you was particularly strong before, why is it that it doesn't work now?"

Gojo Satoru asked curiously, "Is it because the illusion is not real enough?"

After two "pauses", Gojo Satoru's sense of immersion in the illusion has plummeted. In addition, due to the problems with his growing environment, his empathy is not particularly strong, so now his evaluations have become casual.

Bai Yun was silent for two seconds, trying to justify [Infinite Moon Reading]: "...No, it's because it's too real."

All the so-called connections that Gojo Satoru talked about were made up by Bai Yun. Although they share the same eyes, the truth is that they can't feel anything.

After all, otherwise, Kakashi would not have thrown bombs, kunai, Deidara's hand and other messy things into the Kamui space, and then waited until the two sides faced off before discovering that Uchiha Obito was not dead.

When Bai Yun was daydreaming, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left eye. He looked up and found that Gojo Satoru in front of him suddenly stood up straight. In his peripheral vision, he could still see the corner of his black robe.

"Today, Ah Fei suddenly met a strange uncle. He grabbed me and insisted that he was Ah Fei's relative."

Bai Yun tilted his head and found that Uchiha Obito in the dream was wearing a black robe, with one hand supporting his head, his elbow resting on his knee, and he seemed to be sitting comfortably on the back of a lame bench.

"Are you here to recognize your relatives as well?"

The orange vortex mask only revealed one eye. Although the other party's tone was very frivolous, the sound of rain outside and the dim environment added a touch of mysterious aura to him.

Although I know that what I am facing is just an illusion, the psychological pressure does not decrease at all.

Bai Yun took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth: "No... I don't know when you came, but what you heard is true."

After hinting that he already knew Uchiha Obito's identity and that the current world was actually an illusion created by [Infinite Moonlight Reading], Bai Yun licked his dry lips and continued: "As for the group of people you captured... they came here by accident, so they did some strange things."

After hinting at being in [Infinite Tsukuyomi], Uchiha Obito was silent for a while.

Although Bai Yun's words were very euphemistic, Uchiha Obito's memories, the things he found from that group of strange people, and other information were enough for him to realize that this might indeed be the world in "Infinite Moonlight Reading".

But he could never be the master of this dream.

After a long silence, when he spoke again, his self-deprecating tone was surprisingly familiar.

“I told you this world is fake.”
