Chapter 29: Cultivation Day 29
Chapter 29
"Kanako!?" Geto Suguru's pupils trembled in shock. Soon, he realized that now was not a good time to chat.
The tension of almost being ambushed successfully and the joy of meeting someone after a long separation seemed to immediately ignite the blood in his body to a boiling point. Without any hesitation, Geto Suguru summoned the curse spirit and threw the stunned Tennuriko into the arms of the defensive curse spirit.
Tennenoriko stayed away from the main battlefield.
When it came to dealing with the emergency, Tenriko was still completely bewildered. It was only when she was being carried to a safe area by a huge, soft-skinned curse that she vaguely realized what had happened.
"Yes...someone caught the bullet with bare hands!!!" Nariko had never seen such a scene before and was greatly shocked.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Finding that the first bullet failed to eliminate the astral plasma, Fushiguro Shigeru decisively fired three more shots. When he fired the fourth shot, the magazine was empty, so he simply threw the gun aside.
During this time, he witnessed the girl who appeared out of nowhere and caught four bullets in a row with her bare hands. The trajectory of the bullets, which was invisible to ordinary people, seemed to be deliberately set in slow motion before the girl's pre-calculated action.
Throwing the remaining three empty bullet casings onto the ground, Kanako looked at the red marks on her palms from friction and suddenly cried out, "Ah! My hand is hurt!"
Fushiguro Shiji: What does she want to do?
"Look, there's even half a drop of blood! Ambulance, where's the ambulance? If the ambulance doesn't come soon..." Kanako wailed, breathing hot air into her mouth, "The wound is almost healed!"
In a flash, Kanako pretended to care about her wound to lower others' vigilance against her, then swooped down to Fushiguro Shigeru's feet and punched him in the abdomen.
bump!
Fushiguro Shier raised his hand to receive the punch, and a huge wave of energy swept around. Kanako calmed down and was a little surprised: "Eh, not impressed?"
You have to know that apart from the "no limit" opened by Gojo Satoru, Kanako has never met a second person whose defense cannot be broken by her strength.
Kanako naturally associated Fushiguro Shigeki with those sorcerers who used cursed energy to enhance their physical fitness, and thought that he was a guy with very strong cursed energy.
But that doesn't make sense... Kanako squinted her eyes and observed carefully.
During the time when the fake Geto Suguru was feeding her, Kanako could see the curse for longer and longer periods of time, and now she can see the traces of the curse all day long even if she doesn't eat.
The man in front of him with a scar on the corner of his mouth had no trace of magic power, nor any smell of curse.
Seeing that the first attack didn't work, Kanako quickly dodged behind Fushiguro Shier and attacked his blind spot...
However, the man disappeared.
Kanako stood up from the ruins of the building that she had kicked into a crater, took off her cotton jacket that was not suitable for the season, revealing the black and gold short-sleeved kung fu suit underneath.
She rolled her shoulders and looked around warily.
The cursed spirit storage bag wrapped around his shoulders and back shook, and then spit out a cursed tool. Fushiguro Shiro drew a long sword and reappeared in Kanako's sight, saying, "I didn't intend to use the cursed tool."
Kanako was a little confused. What was he going to do?
An innate competitive spirit prompted her to speak. Kanako realized that she would be unhappy if she didn't speak at this moment. In order to give Xiaojie and the others enough time to retreat, she decided to follow suit and say something harsh.
So, Kanako lowered her voice and said, "You want to fight me with weapons? Then be careful, even a cursed weapon can be broken by me if you're not careful!"
Fushiguro Shier didn't respond, but instead walked slowly forward, still chattering, "This is the busiest season for sorcerers. The defenses of the high school are weak. Once the entrance is located, a transparent person like me can come and go freely."
Pausing, Fushiguro changed the subject, "Humanity leaves behind more than just traces of filth. My five senses have become more restrained, allowing me to more quickly discern intelligence hidden in the environment."
The girl's sudden appearance had no signs at all, and only when she took action did she leave any traces in this space.
The former was probably caused by some kind of magic, an ability that could transport a person to a specific location. Fushiguro Shier analyzed this in his mind, while the latter confirmed the peculiarity of the girl's body.
The reaction speed and force of the bullet, the power of the attack, there is no doubt that she is definitely...
"You, are also a person of the same type as me, right?" Fushiguro Shigeru concluded.
"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen!" Kanako covered her ears with her hands.
Fushiguro Shiji:? ?
Scared to death! Almost didn't react! Kanako realized his purpose belatedly and shouted at a higher decibel voice: "Don't even think about giving me intelligence information!"
You know, she had just returned from her studies and had a clear understanding of Fushiguro Shigeru's intentions.
That is the most commonly used type of "personal restraint".
"As long as I hear the intelligence information you disclosed about yourself, you will be able to improve your abilities, right?" Kanako said, "I won't let you succeed. I didn't hear anything!"
"...So noisy." Fushiguro Shiro smacked his lips, "I really hate brats the most."
At the same time, Kanako used the rules to the utmost, and continued without stopping for a moment: "My name is Kanako, and my registered name is Gojo Kanako. I have no magical power and am bound by curses. I suddenly appeared here because I used a space-time technique - you heard it clearly!"
She smiled arrogantly, her face full of satisfaction.
The second round of battle officially begins.
Current buff list: Based on the binding bonus of public information, Fushiguro Shigeru's bonus failed, and Kanako's bonus doubled!
"You're not the only one who has props." Kanako spread out her palms, and a system with a ghost body floated above her head.
During the previous confrontation, the system, which was able to act independently for a period of time without Kanako, searched for intelligence nearby and retrieved useful information based on time, place and people.
Now, it flew back, landing in Kanako's palm, and through the internal team voice in her head, she concluded: "Our current location is a special place inside the high school. Master Geto Suguru is carrying out a commission for asteroids, so this is the Hongxing Palace."
I understand! Kanako's thoughts became clearer.
"My last name is Gojo..." Fushiguro Shinobu muttered to himself.
"Anyway, I will never let you kill anyone (Riko Tenchu) today!" she said.
*
Geto Suguru had mixed feelings when he went to support Kanako.
As for the reason... he just looked away for a few seconds to make sure that Nakano Riko was safe, and erased all traces along the way as quickly as possible. When he turned around, the main hall of Hongxing Palace had collapsed into two halves, and the roof was almost blown off, turning from "Hongxing Palace" into "Hong[Risheng] Palace".
Why not just not renovate it and change the name to Hong [Risheng] Palace, preserve the original appearance of the disaster-stricken ruins, and then promote it as a tourist attraction and charge admission!
The loud noise that lasted for a while now turned into silence. Suguru Jie thought: Is this a temporary truce?
Then, the figures of Kanako and Fushiguro Shigeki were seen rising from the collapsed pit. Their expressions were all solemn, and there was no sign of them continuing to fight.
It seems like he really stopped. But what was the reason?
Just as Geto Suguru was about to step forward, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Jie." Gojo Satoru called out.
Gojo Satoru, who had comprehended the reversal technique when he was dying, had already repaired his wounds and rushed all the way to the main hall, where he found his best friend in a panic at the door.
Xia Yujie turned around, caught a glimpse of the fleeting features, and blurted out his thoughts: "Imaginary cursed spirit?"
Gojo Satoru typed a question mark: "?"
Xia Yujie was a little embarrassed: "...Sorry, I made a mistake."
Gojo Satoru misunderstood his reaction and explained his situation: "I am the real deal, I came back from the brink of death!"
"No, that's not what I meant." Geto Suguru grasped a small tuft of bangs in front of his forehead, "Satoru, your temperament right now really resembles the 'Slit Mouth Woman' who is currently performing the technique under my command..."
She had an extremely sorrowful demeanor, as if she would ask in the next second: "Hey... tell me, who is more beautiful (strong), him or me?"
"?" Gojo Satoru tilted his head, not knowing whether he really didn't know or was pretending not to understand, and pointed his finger forward.
The next moment, a cloud of smoke spread out as if something had exploded, and the two people who had been at a truce just now inexplicably started fighting again!
"Do you want to go up? Do you want to join? It's not too much for us to use a righteous beating, right, Jie?" Gojo Satoru was completely excited.
At this moment, a white floating object flew out from inside and flew straight towards the two of them: "Wait, please be merciful and don't hurt anyone by mistake. I am Kanako's good helper!"
Geto Xia Yu was stunned: System?
Ah, yes, Kanako is back. The system that had also returned said the same thing in Geto Suguru's mind.
It seems that the ghostly-looking thing is indeed the entity of the system.
"Come over here and help me persuade them!" The system anxiously pushed the two away, then shouted at Kanako's position: "Stop fighting, stop fighting!"
"If you want to fight, go to the dance studio!"
Geto Suguru: ...?
There seems to be something wrong with this line.
"You guys can't possibly win if you keep fighting like this!" the system wailed miserably. "Didn't we already agree to a truce? What are you doing now?"
Kanako pulled her arm out of the newly created hole and said seriously, "As you can see, it's impossible to continue fighting, but there is one thing I really care about."
"That is - between Heaven and Curse and Heaven and Curse, who is stronger, me or him?"
Kanako looked at the surrounding buildings that had been accidentally damaged in the strength competition and said seriously, "So, we're just having a friendly arm wrestling competition!"
"Wait, discuss?" Geto Suguru, the only one present who still cared about the commission, suddenly got back to the point. He glared at Fushiguro Shiori and asked, "What did you discuss with Kanako?"
Fushiguro Shier waved his hand: "Let her talk."
He took the time to sigh towards Gojo Satoru: "So you are not dead."
"Thanks to you, I'm having a blast right now!" Gojo Satoru laughed out loud.
"Haha, is that so. The current situation is really unfavorable for me." Fushiguro Shige's mouth twitched.
Why are all the sorcerers more crazy than each other?
But if someone among the psychopaths can bring him useful rewards, Fushiguro Shier can still accept it.
For example...
"Let me think about how to summarize it briefly..." Kanako thought, "Ah, I got it!"
The basic dialogue flow is as follows.
Kanako: "Why did you kill that girl?"
Fushiguro Shier was very principled: "Sorry, I won't reveal the client's information."
Kanako tapped her left hand against her right: "So you also make money by taking commissions? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Let Gojo Satoru give you double the money!"
Fushiguro Shier hesitated visibly, struggling: "My line of work still requires some professional ethics."
Kanako interrupted immediately: "No way, haven't you read the comics? Do you know the Zoldyck family who take money from both ends? As long as the previous client pays and dies, everything will be fine. I'll pay three times!"
System: [Let the previous client die? Did you accidentally say something extremely chaotic and evil?]
Ignore this question, it makes sense anyway!
Fushiguro Shiori decisively said, "Deal."
End of conversation.
After hearing what happened, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru were speechless for a moment.
It seems... this operation is not impossible?
Geto Suguru used his recovered sanity to roughly calculate the gains and losses of this incident: Tenno Riko was alive, he was alive, only a few cursed spirits were missing, and Gojo Satoru was not only alive but also very happy.
Judging from the results, Fushiguro Shigeki even helped Gojo Satoru open up his Ren and Du meridians.
The Gojo family should immediately order a banner to give to Fushiguro Shinobu, with the words "Unparalleled Stabbing Skill" written on it.
No, I can’t think about it anymore. If I think about it anymore, I’ll get off topic.
...But how can we just let this go? Simply looking at the results won't work!
Taking into account the physical and mental losses in the process, it is obvious that they suffered more!
Geto Suguru doesn't believe that Kanako is the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses.
System: [Um... Does anyone care about the money Gojo Satoru might have to pay?]
At this time, Kanako's hand quietly grabbed the tail of the cursed spirit "Ugly Treasure" that was coiled around Fushiguro Shinobu's shoulder.
"But before that, we have to collect some fees." Kanako's eyes suddenly became bright. "I just saw that it has a very useful cursed tool in its belly, right? ... The kind that didn't break even after I hit it several times."
"...Ah." Fushiguro Shigeki replied, his eyes sweeping over the newly resurrected Rokugan, the eager cursed spirit operator, and the cursed girl in front of him who was of the same kind and could not be defeated in a short time.
There is no escape, no place to flee.
A plan came to his mind.
"Give it to me!" Kanako grabbed the ugly treasure and pulled it out as if it were a carrot!
Gojo Satoru followed closely behind, forming a spell with his left hand, rotating it clockwise, and then reversing it with his right hand. He was floating in the air, about to be blasted out. Fushiguro Shinobu pretended to resist, suddenly turned his back, and then used his fastest speed -
Run!
Xia Yujie stretched out his hand and said, "Wait... stop!"
Kanako hugged Chou Bao and cheered: "Great, now we don't have to pay!"
Gojo Satoru repeated excitedly, "Great! Let's take down his client, the Banking Sect, in one fell swoop!"
Geto Summer Oil: ???
Does he also have to chant slogans along with his teammates who are starting to become mentally unstable?
Geto Suguru's eyes were empty, and he had successfully assimilated: "Great... I'm gradually understanding everything."
【Author’s words】
Daddy——We will remember your sacrifice (?)——
Don't worry, there will be a chance to be the host in the future (being persecuted) (smile)
This chapter contains JO memes, chainsaw man memes, and some weird TV drama memes... I won't list them all, I don't know why the only thing that sticks in my mind is the memes
Friend: I found a small amount of novels among a large number of memes... Wait, how do you manage to use memes every day and still advance the plot at a fairly smooth pace?
Me: Because I gradually understand everything (my brain is connected to the universe)!
