Chapter 193 The Second Player

"Killing" Hanayamain Haruna was a little easier than Saikai Haruto had expected.

The player's current mentality is not very stable. The "game" can be regarded as her "secret", a "secret" that will never be told to anyone in this world. Once it was "exposed" by Saikai Haruto, the panic and vigilance in Hanayamain Haruna's heart can be imagined.

But when Saikai Haruto throws her another "wrong answer", her vigilance will dissipate at a faster rate - along with her previous vigilance towards "Igarashi Yuki".

But even so, Xi Haiqing Dou did not expect that it would be so easy to make Hanayamain Haruna completely let down her guard.

Perhaps it was because she was confident that even though "Igarashi Yuuki" looked so obviously wrong, she would not actually attack her?

Or did she think that even if he wanted to do something, it wouldn't be too dangerous, or that she could handle it easily?

But in the end, everything must end.

No matter whether it was "No Bottom Line" or "All Things in the Universe", Saikai Haruto never relaxed his vigilance for a moment. He decisively drew his sword with "Amaniboko" who had been waiting for this day. Even with his eyes closed, he could find the most appropriate angle in an instant without hesitation.

Ignoring the screams from Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, he used "No Bottom Line" to block all their obstructions. The blade of "Atensaiboko" sank into the body of Hanayamain Haruna, forcing her to come into contact with all the spells. His actions were decisive and not stopped by any sound or obstacles.

Mission accomplished.

The blood spurting out of Hanayamain Haruna's body splashed from the blade onto Saikai Haruto's body. He lowered his eyes and took a look at the "corpse" that had completely lost all activity and breath, and had no possibility of "resurrection". After hearing the prompt sound of the system sending the player back in his mind, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru arrived a little too quickly, causing him to make a slight mistake in his prediction and unable to completely "destroy all the bodies", fortunately his mission was completed smoothly, so it didn't matter much.

He knew that the "Tennihoko" would work! It was indeed a special-grade cursed tool that Fushiguro Shinobu used to deal with Gojo Satoru.

But... I don't think they heard anything they shouldn't have heard, right?

After reviewing the conversation he had just had with Hanayamain Haruna in his mind, Saikai Haruto felt relieved - very good, he was the most mysterious person in this world, and with the brains of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, even if they really heard something about his previous conversation with Hanayamain Haruna, they should not be able to hear anything wrong.

Whether it was Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, or anyone else, they would only think that the direct reason why he attacked Hanayamain Haruna was because of "Senra Wanxiang".

——All the "uncomfortable" feelings of "Hanayamain Haruna" during this period came from the "backlash" caused by the powerful curse "Senra Wanxiang" on her, or the "consciousness annexation", or any other explanation is fine... but in the final analysis, none of them came from Hanayamain Haruna's own wishes.

This is indeed an obvious "wrong answer" for Hanayamain Haruna, but for others - for the audience in the comics and forums, the answer given by Saikai Haruto is the real "correct answer".

A "correct answer" that makes everything perfectly logical and self-consistent.

Even if the "Igarashi Yuuki" alias might be "torn up" in the next second, Saikai Haruto still did not regret his previous action of deliberately creating a little movement to attract Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru to rush over.

No...it would be better to say that if "Igarashi Yuuki" "died" here, maybe he could go back a few days earlier?

Anyway, his most important mission has been completed. As for the remaining mission of "Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru not dying and their friendship not breaking within three years", there are only a few months left. Without the players, Fushiguro Shinobu has no reason to attack them anymore. He has also killed more than half of the members of the Jujutsu Directorate, leaving them seriously injured... There should be nothing in this world that can threaten their lives anymore, right?

Xi Haiqingdou thought that as long as the two of them didn't do anything sudden like "suicide" or "die together", the mission would have been basically completed.

"Yuuki? Is that really you? This must be fake, right?"

I don't know whose voice it is that suddenly sounded.

"…Why?"

Xi Hai Qing Dou turned around indifferently, with only a calm indifference on his face.

"As you can see, I'm really sorry, there are no accidents or falsehoods."

"If you have six eyes, can't you see through all illusions? So, this is the truth."

Almost dead silence.

To Saikai Haruto's surprise, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's faces were pale as death, and their bodies were noticeably stiff. But no matter who they were, except for the first time when they saw him attack Hanayamain Haruna, neither of them looked like they were going to attack him immediately.

"So, why?" Xia Yujie asked him, his voice hoarse and cold with anger: "Why do you want to kill people? Why do you want to attack the people of the Director Council? Why - why do you want to kill Haruna?"

The last few words seemed to be gnashed out from between his teeth.

"I've already killed him. What's the point of asking these questions now?"

Saikai Haruto said, "Why do we still have to dwell on this issue until now?"

——Just take action? If you two don't take action, his current defensive posture will seem awkward, right?

"Haven't you always said that a sorcerer has no right to judge other people's lives?!"

I don't know when Gojo Satoru's sunglasses disappeared from his nose. His gorgeous blue eyes widened and he asked him, "Why do you do this?!"

Didn't this guy always insist that no matter if they were sorcerers or ordinary people, no one except judges and laws had the right to judge other people's lives? What was he doing now? What on earth was he doing now? !

Gojo Satoru looked at Saikai Haruto and felt that his former companions had suddenly become extremely unfamiliar.

The facial features were still the same familiar ones, and the green eyes were the same color as before, but whether it was the blue-black lines covering the entire face, the expressionless face instead of a smile, the drops of blood that accidentally splashed on the face, the indifference revealed in those peridot green eyes, and the thick blue-black marks under the eyes... all made the "Igarashi Yuki" in front of him look particularly unfamiliar.

...as if they had never really known him.

"You speak as if you know me very well, Satoru." Saikai Haruto smiled at him once again, a smile familiar to Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru: "But, I used to think so all the time."

"But I realized that I was too arrogant all along. All of this was wrong. The gap between sorcerers and ordinary people has always existed, and aliens have always existed. So I am here to correct these mistakes now."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Gojo Satoru gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, trying to drown out his voice, with anger that Saikai Haruto didn't understand: "Do you think that's wrong?! I say, it's obviously what you are saying now that is wrong!"

"What about Haruna? What did Haruna do wrong?" Xia Yujie clenched his fists, staring at Xi Haiqingdou's eyes, and his voice was as cold as sinking into the deep sea: "Why do you want to kill Haruna? Your reasons are not valid - I don't believe them."

"Don't you think they are too arrogant? No matter if it's Wu or Jie, they all think they know me very well and understand my thoughts very well."

Xihai Qingdou was silent for a moment, the smile on his face disappeared, and he returned to a cold and indifferent look. It took him a while before he spoke.

"…What?"

"What do Wu and Jie think is the reason? Is it because of other people or Haruna?" Saikai Haruto laughed briefly, "No, of course not. In fact, there is no reason. Everyone changes, I just did it because I thought of it. Whatever you think, it doesn't matter to me."

He raised his hand, and the blade of Tenseiboko separated the three people who were originally inseparable, creating a huge and obvious line. His voice was very light, but it was unprecedentedly cold: "People cannot understand each other... You and I are not on the same path. From now on, we will go our separate ways. You can go to your own shore."

"… Are you kidding me, Yuuki?" Gojo Satoru formed his hands into a spell and then slightly opened them. "Are you just going to leave like this?!"

"Ah - you can fight. If you want to fight, you can do it now."

Xihai Qingdou spread his hands, his voice was nonchalant, his green eyes stared at them coldly and quietly, his whole body was exposed and he was not at all guarded.

There was another moment of utterly stagnant silence.

Gojo Satoru and Kagome Geto clenched their hands, unclenched them, clenched them again, and unclenched them again.

Still no sound or movement.

If it weren't for the obvious breathing sounds of the three people, some people might think that time in this space had stopped.

...Say something, you two? Help, if you don't say something, he's really going to run out of stories to make up stories!

Xihai Qingdou suddenly felt at a loss.

Or if they just "killed" him right here, he would be fine with that, right? Really not taking action? Not saying anything, not moving, what on earth were they trying to do? !

"...After doing so much, what exactly do you want to do?"

After a long silence, Xia Yujie suddenly asked him again.

"You don't think that even if Wu and I don't do anything to you, these things will just end there, right?"

Unlike before, the trust in his companions, the sorrow and disbelief at his "betrayal" in those beautiful and narrow eyes... all the tender emotions disappeared, leaving only the blade-like defense and hostility towards the "enemy"... and the subtle hatred.

He was thinking - when he was an "enemy", what was the purpose of "Igarashi Yuuki's" actions?

"Hey! Jie?" Gojo Satoru took a half step back and turned his head to look at Getsugi Jie.

"I've said it before - it doesn't matter to me. Are you not going to do anything?"

Xihai Qingdou raised his eyes and looked at the two of them again, tilting his head slightly.

"If you don't do anything, then goodbye - just consider Igarashi Yuuki's life as aborted."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the sight of Gojo Satoru and Kagome Kei.
