Chapter 103
Amanouchi Riko.
Amamiya Reisei was looking through the data of the astral plasma body and completely ignored the people fighting in front of him.
Tengen needs to assimilate with the star plasma once every five hundred years. The entire Japanese barrier depends on Tengen. No matter how you think about it, this strange commission is related to the development of the world line.
[System, do you think the assimilation of the astral plasma will succeed or fail in this incident?] Amamiya Reizo looked up at the people playing in the water.
After they rescued Amanouchi Riko and Kuroi Misato, they went to Okinawa for fun the next day. Originally, Gojo Satoru was planning to go back to technical high school as soon as possible, but unfortunately Amanouchi Riko wanted to have some fun before assimilation, so the few of them simply took a short trip to the seaside.
[I think both are possible, but the possibility of failure is greater.] The system replied, [After all, if assimilation fails, the Tianyuan that supports the barrier will undergo 'evolution'. Because of the barrier, the powerful cursed spirits are restricted to the country. If the 'evolution' affects the barrier and causes a malfunction, the whole world will be affected.]
[No matter how you think about it, it facilitates the villain boss's plan.]
Amamiya Tadashi closed the documents, sat on the beach with his chin in his hand and looked at the people in front of him. The girl and Gojo Satoru were digging for marine life stranded on the beach after the tide receded. The two guys were laughing happily like kids who came to the beach for the first time. Perhaps they knew they would die tomorrow. Tenuchi Riko was having a lot of fun, with an exaggerated smile on her face, as if she had suppressed all the secret emotions deep in her heart.
However, Amamiya Keizo could see the other party's deep-seated fear and helplessness at a glance. Although she said she was assimilated into Tengen, everyone knew that she was just a sacrifice for the stability of the Japanese barrier. Amamiya Keizo was afraid of death. This feeling could not be clearer to him.
[In order to prevent the villain from succeeding, should I let her die peacefully?] Amamiya Reizo murmured in his mind, [How could I possibly do such a thing?]
The system advised hesitantly: [But if we don't assimilate, the mission progress may decline again, and this may be irreversible, unless... unless there is another way to achieve assimilation without sacrifice.]
Even if there is such a method, it would be impossible for Amamiya Keisei to find it in such a short day.
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
If he fails to transform, the progress will irreversibly regress, and his mission will be useless. He doesn't have much time left, and even if he starts on the next mission immediately, it is hard to say whether he will succeed in the end.
But, just because he is afraid of death, does he have to deprive a young girl of her right to live?
He wants to live, but that doesn't mean he has to live by trampling on other people's lives.
[If only I had known this earlier, at least, at least there would have been time...] Let him find a satisfactory solution.
But there are no ifs.
Amemiya scratched his hair in distress, feeling that he was going to be bald. In this situation, he could only take things one step at a time.
[If it really doesn't work, then we'll just give up on this mission.] Amamiya Reizo was a little disappointed, [We'll just leave for the next world right after that.]
Fortunately, he and Gojo Satoru were not particularly close, so he explained the matter of Geto Suguru to Gojo Satoru before leaving, ensuring that the two would not become enemies, and he could easily find a cursed spirit to kill him - after all, the mission progress was not 80%. The vest could not be managed by the system and could only be destroyed.
System: [Host, please don't say that. What if things are not what we think? These are just our guesses. Maybe the world line we want to change is not the point of assimilation failure.]
[If not this, then what else?]
"Leisheng, why are you sitting here? Don't you want to play in the water? I've already discussed with Jie that we will go back to the technical high school tomorrow morning and we can still play for half a day." Gojo Satoru stopped playing in the water at some point and came over with two drinks. "Are you hungry? Do you want to go get some barbecue? I just saw there are coconuts for sale over there."
Amamiya Leisheng took the drink and took a sip. It tasted of lemon mint and was very refreshing. The coolness it brought went straight to his head in this hot weather. "No, I can't swim, so I won't go in the water."
"You can't swim?" Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows. "That's surprising. I thought you could do everything."
"I'm not Superman."
Yu Gong Leisheng rolled his eyes at him in annoyance: "You are the one who knows everything, okay?"
Gojo Satoru chuckled twice: "I'll take it as you're complimenting me, then I'll treat you to a barbecue. Let's go, Jay and the others have already left."
Amamiya Ruisei stood up and walked beside Gojo Satoru. "You didn't come to me just to ask me to go to barbecue, did you?"
Otherwise they would have called him to go with them when they went to the snack stand just now.
"You found me." Gojo Satoru took two sips of his drink and the smile on his face faded. "I just received news from the black market."
In order to find the enemy's intelligence and traces, and to find a way to remove the curse on Amamiya Tadashi's hand, Gojo Satoru has been to the black market many times. Even if the enemy is completely silent now, he can still receive first-hand information from the black market.
Amemiya frowned, "Is it related to Miss Amanai?"
"right."
Gojo Satoru's expression was a little serious: "Riko's bounty on the black market seems to have the shadow of the magician killer in it."
Amamiya Leisheng was stunned: "Magician killer?"
He roughly knew about the existence of the sorcerer killer. It was said that the other party was Tianyou Juke from the Zen Temple and was very famous in the black market. However, he had never come into contact with the other party and did not know what the other party looked like.
"Is he going to get involved as well?" Amamiya's hand felt a little cold as he held the drink. "What should we do then?"
Gojo Satoru snorted, "What can we do? Now that we know, we can only be more vigilant. He hasn't even mentioned what role he played in this matter. But I think he's going to kill Riko."
"Well, we're all here anyway, so it doesn't matter who comes." The two walked to the barbecue stall. The others were selecting ingredients. Gojo Satoru slammed the cup in his hand on the table and raised his chin. "Jake and I are the strongest. With Ruisheng here, how could anyone beat us?"
"If the enemy comes, Leisheng, you take Riko and Kuroi and run away first, and Jie and I will fight them."
Xia Yujie and his friends came over with the barbecue and placed their food on the table. Gojo Satoru picked up a can of drink, opened the pull ring and poured it into his mouth: "Jie, you said so, right?"
Xia Yujie sat down: "What?"
"They said no one could beat us—burp!" Gojo Satoru burped and looked at the can in his hand, "What is this? Why does it smell like alcohol?"
“It’s just regular beer.”
Xia Yujie opened a can and said, "Of course, barbecue should be accompanied by beer. What's wrong?"
Gojo Satoru stared at the beer and burped again. He scanned the people present with his dazed eyes from behind his sunglasses.
“Bang!”
His head tilted and hit the table.
“…………?”
Several people looked at the person lying on the table.
"Uh, he..." Amamiya Leisei pointed at Gojo Satoru with trembling fingers, "Is this beer poisonous?"
Geto: "...I think it's just that Wu can't drink as much as he should."
Tenuchi Riko laughed loudly and unceremoniously, laughing until tears came out: "Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
"Who said I was drunk!" Gojo Satoru suddenly raised his head and straightened up. He spoke with great momentum, but his face was red. "I am the strongest Gojo Satoru, how could I be drunk! It's just a can of beer!"
As if to prove himself, Gojo Satoru raised his head and gulped down a can of beer in one gulp. He quickly finished it and used a technique to press the can into a small ball: "Look! I'm not drunk!"
The next second, his head hit the table again and he fell asleep completely.
Everyone: “…”Ah, this.
Tenuchi Riko: “Haha ...!”
