Chapter 162 The Second Player
The Hollow Style "茈" is the technique Gojo Satoru mastered after mastering the Reversal Style. It is the most powerful technique among all the techniques he has mastered. The quality of the illusion it exudes is incomparable to the "蒼" of the forward technique and the "赫" of the reverse technique. The destructive power and lethality it causes are several times stronger than those of "蒼" and "赫".
If this trick... I wonder if it can wake you up from your painful slumber, Yuuki?
That one "Chi" seemed to release all the unspeakable emotions and feelings in his chest. Gojo Satoru stared at the flying dust in front of him with an extremely calm expression.
Whatever the outcome, he was ready to accept it.
Of course, as a close friend, he still believed more that if it was Igarashi Yuuki, he would definitely be able to survive successfully.
The cursed force infinitely climbed to a terrifying intensity. The false mass created by the infinite repulsion and gravity tore everything along the way between Gojo Satoru and "Igarashi Yuki" into pieces. The terrifying ritual emitting purple light silently rushed towards "Igarashi Yuki" at a speed faster than lightning.
In an instant, all the soil, buildings, and trees within hundreds of meters along the way were shattered and destroyed with a devastating force. In a flash, smoke and leaves flew and covered the entire area. Any figure seemed particularly small under such a powerful attack - not even "Igarashi Yuki" was an exception.
"danger".
The message that the brain's intuition conveys to Him is extremely "dangerous".
His intuition gave him a very high level of warning.
Either dodge or resist, with no way to counterattack... His brain was in chaos, his body was trapped in a human body, and his consciousness was entangled with another soul. However, he was able to realize that if he did nothing, both it and he would be directly destroyed by "茈", not to mention having time to use the "reversal technique".
No longer trying to figure out who the person standing in the air was or why it had an impact on him, he instinctively made the most authentic and strongest defense in his subconscious mind in order to survive.
For the first time, he mobilized all the cursed power in his body and the surrounding area, formed seals with both hands, and at the same time, the "Three Elements Simulation Technique" was also launched. He subconsciously chose the "Infinite Technique" which had the same origin as Gojo Satoru's Hollow Style "茈".
——Then, before he was about to be engulfed by the terrifying purple light, he suddenly lowered his head slightly, withdrew the "Unlimited Spell", and his originally nimble hands became stiff, his fingers trembled slightly, and the defensive seal formed in his hands also dissipated by half.
The virtual "Zi" emitting a terrifying purple light and the dust it raised along the way completely engulfed His figure.
Only after all the smoke and dust had cleared did the black figure reappear, revealing a clear figure with broken arms, lowered head and hair, and an unclear face.
The arms that had originally appeared black were completely destroyed and then repaired in an instant, and this time, they appeared to be white and strong arms and hands belonging to a human.
A few seconds later, a barely audible groan was heard, and the blue-black lines on "Igarashi Yuuki"'s body faded away in an instant, and her figure gradually changed back.
He raised his head, revealing a face that was exceptionally clean and very familiar to Gojo Satoru. There was no expression on his face, but a tiny tear rolled down from the corner of his eye and disappeared in the sunlight in the next second - making people wonder if it was just his illusion.
——Is the person in front of me a "greedy beast" or "Igarashi Yuuki"?
He clenched his hands repeatedly, rubbed his chest and pinched his neck, raised his head, smiled faintly, and appeared in front of Gojo Satoru with bright eyes: "I say, Satoru, you... are too cruel, aren't you?"
The person in front of him was indeed his classmate and good friend Igarashi Yuuki...
After slowly realizing this, Gojo Satoru's extremely tense spirit finally relaxed, and his originally empty emotions seemed to have returned a little.
"Ha, is that so? There's no way I can beat you back to consciousness without being ruthless, right?"
Gojo Satoru smiled casually, but with a sense of determination: "I knew you would be able to take it."
“But it really hurts!”
Saikai Haruto sighed in dissatisfaction and punched Gojo Satoru's shoulder in revenge: "Really - it hurts so much."
He almost cried because of the pain - luckily he had a lot of idol image and forced himself to hold back.
Although "Yuuki Igarashi" is very thick-skinned, he is not a masochist and still hates pain.
Although he did have the idea of having a "best friend kill" after meeting Gojo Satoru so that he could come to his senses, but Gojo Satoru was really ruthless when he attacked... That virtual form "茈" made Saikai Haruto's scalp tingle. In an instant, alarm bells rang in his mind. Without even thinking, he mobilized all the cursed power in his body and the unlimited form copied by the Three-Element Mimicry Technique.
——Then he deliberately dispersed a small part of his defense——Of course, it was still "fake".
He deliberately slowed down his reaction a little. Although there was a certain risk that he might be directly destroyed, fortunately, he did defend himself in the first place, but he just withdrew the "Unlimited Ritual". Secondly, after the curse spiritization, the strength of his body rose straight to an outrageous level. Moreover, his luck was always good at such critical moments, and with the buff of "survival in desperate situations", it was still worth the gamble.
So Saikai Haruto was not very reassured, but he took a bold gamble.
The result was pretty good... Although he was seriously injured, his two arms that looked inhuman were blown off, and the cursed energy in his body was completely lost for two seconds, but fortunately he was still alive and well, and his damaged arms were reshaped by the reversal of the technique.
But the pain is real - after all, whether it is the "greedy creature" who feels the pain or "Igarashi Yuuki" who feels the pain, in essence it is his pain, there is no difference.
He stuffed the greedy consciousness Tuanba Tuanba back into the depths of his consciousness and continued to sleep. Now, he is "Igarashi Yuki" again.
Thanks to Gojo Satoru for helping him further improve the script.
"Then I'll remember to be gentler next time—"
Gojo Satoru stretched out his tone and was hit hard on the shoulder by Saikai Haruto. This time he did not dodge like he did before, but took the hit honestly.
After being overly excited, his heart and emotions, which had become particularly empty, seemed to be hammered back by this blow. He came to his senses and asked again, "I said, Yuxi, besides your body, are you okay in your soul?"
Gojo Satoru was rarely a little worried.
The "Six Eyes" have an incomparable insight. They can see all the cursed powers and can also see the existence of souls, but they cannot distinguish souls.
If it had any effect on the soul and caused any damage...even he wouldn't be able to see it.
Saikai Haruto paused for a moment as he was walking towards Tenuchi Riko, then turned to Gojo Satoru and gave him a nonchalant smile: "I don't think so, right? I don't feel any pain in my soul."
He half-knelt next to Tenuchi Riko - fortunately, he paid attention to avoid Tenuchi Riko's side when they were fighting. Tenuchi Riko's side was rare and had no injuries, and it could still be seen as a "pure land".
But she still hasn't woken up yet, even though the two of them just made such a big noise...
"This must be the astral body... Her sleep quality is so good, how can she continue to sleep?"
Haruto Nishimi poked Tenuchi Riko's cheek and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
She looked like she was soundly asleep.
"What, Tennai is still alive?"
Gojo Satoru's thoughts were instantly diverted by Saikai Haruto. There was surprise in his eyes, and even a little dazed - he still thought that Amauchi Riko had died at the hands of Fushiguro Shinobu.
"Hmm." Saikai Haruto's face instantly became beaming with joy when he said this: "Just kidding, I'm here, isn't that certain? I'm the one who can turn the tide!"
"…How did you do that?"
Gojo Satoru didn't care about Saikai Haruto's boasting. If it was normal, he would have bullied him. However, under the special circumstances, his curiosity overwhelmed everything else. "That guy shouldn't have held back... Is this a resurrection? How did you do it?"
Just like what he did to him before - that is, when he was about to die, he gave up counterattacking and comprehended the reversal technique. If it was someone else who didn't know the reversal technique, he would have died long ago.
He walked slowly to the side of Riko Amauchi who was still lying on the ground, and reached out to poke her - she was warm, breathing and had a heartbeat - she was indeed still alive.
"It's not resurrection, please be polite - she was never dead in the first place."
Xihai Qingdou was dissatisfied with the road.
"She should have been shot through the brain by a bullet... But fortunately, the bullet should not have happened for a long time, so she is not really dead yet - humans are very strong. That's why I was able to heal her with the reversal technique. Although the wound has been repaired, the brain is the most important organ in the human body after all. Although this possibility is not high, I don't know if she will have any sequelae..."
Xi Haiqingdou explained with a little worry, and suddenly remembered something, and raised his head anxiously: "By the way, Wu, you are here, where is Jie? Is he still in school? Is he okay?"
"When I came here, I happened to meet Fushiguro Shijiro. He just came out from the school. He said that Haruna, you, and Tennai all died in his hands, but I didn't believe it completely--"
Xi Haiqingdou's words were full of trust for his two good friends. He pressed his temples and couldn't help frowning as he spoke: "But he brought Tiannai out, so I knew he must have fought with you. You must have been in trouble... Let's go find Jie and Haruna first? I'm afraid something happened to them."
Gojo Satoru was stunned again.
To be honest...he really didn't think of Kagome Ken and Hanayamain Haruna just now.
Da Nao was too excited. To be honest, his mind was full of thoughts like "I am the best in the world" and he completely forgot everything else.
Although he is a little better now, it is only a little better. He still hasn't completely cooled down...
It was not until now when he heard Saikai Haruto mention Kagome Ken and Hanayamain Haruna that he belatedly remembered their situation.
"Jie is still in school, Haruna...she separated from us after returning from Okinawa, and I don't know where she is now." Gojo Satoru answered honestly.
"Then let's go find Jay first."
Saikai Haruto made the decision, "I'll call Haruna later... Uh, wait, do you still have your cell phone with you, Satoru?"
Xi Haiqing Dou's hand paused.
His cell phone was in the pocket of his school uniform, but during the fight with Fushiguro Shige, or perhaps even earlier - anyway, his cell phone was damaged and destroyed.
... Damn it! That was his new cell phone, which he had just bought two days ago and wasn’t even warm enough to use yet!
“Yes.”
Gojo Satoru took out his cell phone from his pocket.
I have to say, even though he looked covered in blood and his clothes were all tattered, if he walked out in this image he would probably scare a lot of people into thinking he was some kind of perverted murderer, but his belongings were actually better preserved than Saikai Haruto's - not a single thing was damaged.
Even though he knew that it was 99% related to the debuff on him, Xi Hai Qing Dou was still deeply, deeply envious.
"Should we take Amanai along? Ah... let's take her along. By the way, have you asked her what she thinks? Jay should be fine, otherwise... the school wouldn't be so quiet. Well, there's also Haruna. I don't know what the situation is like over there... Ah, there's one more thing. Fushiguro Shiori should have been sent by the Bandei Cult. Although he's already run away, we don't know if anyone else will come. Logically speaking, the time for assimilation hasn't passed completely yet, so we really can't let our guard down..."
Saikai Haruto continued to ask questions.
"...Ah, you really have so many questions, Yuuki! Are you going to turn into a nagging old man?"
Gojo Satoru could no longer maintain the cold and calm expression on his face, and covered his ears with both hands with an unbearable look.
"Let's go, let's go!"
