Chapter 473: God's Will
Chapter 473: God's Will
Note: This chapter is two chapters in one
"What's wrong?" Kusakabe looked a little impatient.
"I have fought with Li Mei twice." I answered him with a frown, "But..."
The first time, it happened to be inside a factory called Hehehehaha that was so delicious that it went bankrupt. At that time, I was still Zenin Shinji, and he attacked me in order to retract his finger.
The second time was during the Gojo Kiri period. He laid a plan in Sendai and risked his life to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He attempted to release Ryomen Sukuna by attacking Yuji. In the end, he failed and was killed by me.
"His last words were almost the same as what Hyōjinci heard this time." I analyzed, pursing my lips, "except for one sentence."
"Which sentence?"
"This is nothing to be regretted. Then, I will go first." I said, "Satoshi's enthusiasm for Ryoumen Sukuna is even more tenacious than the most terrifying diehard fans."
"Since he is a person who worships Ryoumen Sukuna so much and regards his words as the golden rule, how could he say such discouraging words before the fight? Do you think it is possible?"
"That's right." Hyōkinji said, "It's as if he already knew that Ryoumen Sukuna would be killed in Shinjuku."
Or maybe the words he said were not his inner monologue before facing death?
What if, after completing the storyline, what awaits them is not death, but going to another place?
A world that allows them to do whatever they want, without restrictions.
A world without spells, rituals, and relentless sorcerers.
If we have to say there is such a place, where else could it be?
If you think about it carefully, this is not impossible.
According to this theory, it can even explain why Shen Er was able to travel back and forth across the world twice.
Because, after the Shibuya incident, his entire story seemed to have been completed.
"I think you're overthinking it." After hearing my guess, Kusakabe curled his lips and said, "Oh, that god, he spent time and energy just to help Fushiguro Shinobu go back and forth, what did he want?"
"Everyone knows that man is on your side. If you let him go, wouldn't that just be causing trouble for yourself? Tell me, why would he want to cause trouble for himself?"
"There are also Ryoumen Sukuna and Satomi, what are you sending them for?"
"Being domineering or causing trouble everywhere, you don't think that Ryomen Sukuna can kill his mortal enemy, right?" He said, "All your current speculations are based on a superficial analysis of the few words of 'Rime', and there is no factual basis to support it."
"Without any evidence, it's just guesswork."
“........” Hearing his words, I lowered my head and remained silent for a while.
Geto Suguru's gaze first stayed on me, then turned to Kusakabe. He didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
"What I mean is..." Kusakabe swallowed and lowered his voice. "We have already done everything we can. There are only less than 48 hours left before the decisive battle. It's meaningless for us to scare ourselves here in advance."
"Isn't the purpose of our meeting here today to find all the links that may have been missed?"
Xia Youjie knocked on the table with his hand and reminded him gently: "It can't be that way. Because there are less than two days left, we are becoming more and more lax."
"That's not what I meant..." Kusakabe muttered a few words, and I didn't pay attention to what he said next.
The danger is approaching, so it's normal to feel a little anxious. This is not just the case here. I believe that all the sorcerers who know the inside story will find it difficult to completely calm down.
Kusakabe said that I was overthinking and that what I said just now was just a blind guess. In fact, I also hope that I am just a blind guess. I would rather he say a few more words to me to break the lingering feeling of uneasiness in my heart. This would be better.
Indeed, the only one who has the ability to send people to another world is God, but he has no motive to do so.
Wait, motivation.
With a "swish" sound, I supported myself on the table and suddenly stood up.
The eyes around me instantly turned towards my face like a pointer meeting a magnet.
"Lily, you..." Geto Suguru's eyes were full of worry and concern.
"Um..." I glanced around randomly and explained to him, "It's a bit stuffy in here. You guys continue your discussion while I go out for some fresh air."
"Hey." I heard Kusakabe standing up and calling my name behind me. "What I just said was just the truth. I didn't mean to attack you."
"I know." I didn't look back, but just walked quickly across the corridor to the other side.
That’s right, Kusakabe is right.
This god has no reason to do these things.
What if it’s not this God?
Think about it carefully again, what exactly does the content of the letter say?
A god hates me. He doesn't want to merge with me. He would rather drag the whole world to perish with me than let go.
Another god protected me. However, what He wanted was not fusion, but for me to help destroy this world and thus completely eliminate the source of His troubles.
In this way, from the beginning to the end, it seems that I am the only one who is only pursuing the result of world fusion.
I forced it.
Well, since He can provide me with assistance and deals, why can't He reach an agreement with Ryomen Sukuna?
In fact, this guy's advantages are even more obvious than mine.
Because his hatred for this world is real.
My steps continued, and my eyes swept across the rows of houses along the corridor, finally locking onto a corner on the north side, while my brain was still spinning rapidly.
Today, everyone is divided into groups according to their respective combat positions, and tomorrow everyone will gather together for a meeting.
I was just with Geto Suguru, Yuki Kujuku and others to discuss the matter of escorting Tengen, and I accidentally brought up the Rimei incident.
Gojo Satoru, as the leader, was in the principal's office with Yuta Otsutsukoshi, and Principal Yaga.
The pace of my feet became faster and faster, almost to the point of running, and I was about to turn the corner and reach the end.
"Lily!" I heard Geto Suguru calling me from behind. When I turned around, he had already grabbed my wrist.
"Are you OK."
"Ah, I'm fine." I shook my head and asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"
"What Kusakabe said..." He frowned and said in disapproval, "It didn't have any effect on you."
"No," I said.
Apart from being a bit impolite, what Kusakabe said was all the truth. We are not familiar with each other, so how much influence can he have on me?
"I'm a little worried about you." Xia Youjie didn't feel relieved because of this. He said, "When I saw your expression just now, I felt that something seemed to be wrong."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to look for Wu." I answered him, "Yumenjiang is with him."
"What do you want Yumenjiang to do?"
"Didn't Kusakabe say I was just guessing?" I said, "I also hope this is nonsense, but I have to verify it first to see if I am overthinking."
I broke free from his grasp and ran almost straight to the door of the conference room.
At this moment, Gojo Satoru was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs out of boredom, watching Principal Yega frowning and saying something to him, but judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be taking it seriously.
"Lily... why are you here?" Principal Ye Moth looked at me in a hurry with a surprised expression, "Shouldn't you be in the meeting over there?"
"I suddenly remembered something." I explained as I walked around the coffee table towards Gojo Satoru, "Where is Yumenjiang?"
"In my pocket." Gojo Satoru asked, "What's the matter?"
"The left one or the right one."
"The one on the left..."
Before he finished speaking, I had already reached into his shirt pocket, touched an angular cube-shaped object, turned around and left, leaving them staring at Xia Yujie who came in later with confused faces.
"Prison Gate, open the door."
I walked in on my own.
Because of my dream, the power constraints and restrictions here are basically useless to me.
Of course, since Yuji's body is here, he still can't use any strength.
After taking out the rope that Ammonium had used to tie up Zenin Naoya and tying him up tightly, I went straight into Ryomen Sukuna's mental space.
"Yujin." I patted Yuji's shoulder and asked, "Are you willing to give your body to Ryomen Sukuna for ten minutes?"
"Hey - Sister Youxin, what are you talking about..." He saw me, and before he showed any joy, he was immediately stunned by the question, "Why did you suddenly say you wanted to..."
"Do you believe me?"
"I believe it," he answered without thinking.
"Well, since you trust me, just say you agree."
"Hey, woman, what are you doing?" Ryoumen Sukuna stood on the giant bone, looking down at me and asked in a bad tone.
"You'll find out later."
After saying this, I returned to the prison gate. Ryomen Sukuna woke up in Yuji's body and watched him trapped in his own body, unable to move.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
"Ryomen Sukuna. I don't have time to waste on you, so I'll just ask directly." I put my foot on his shoulder and bent down to observe his expression carefully. "I'm going to ask you a few questions next. You'd better answer me honestly. Do you understand?"
"Tsk." His expression was extremely disdainful, and he rolled his eyes as if he had heard something outrageous, but he couldn't help but say, "I understand."
"what happened?"
"That's exactly what happened."
In view of the uncertainty of realizing my dream, I dare not release Ryomen Sukuna outside. It just so happens that the use of cursed power can be restricted inside the prison gate, and it can only accommodate two people, and we won't even be disturbed by others. It is simply the perfect place for interrogation.
"What do you want to ask?" Ryoumen Sukuna narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Who is the one who is really making a deal with you?" I said straight to the point, "It's not the God of this world, but the God of my world. Am I right?"
"........"
"Speak to me." The force in my voice became stronger and stronger, and I stepped on his shoulders harder and harder. "Tell the truth."
"Yes," he replied.
"Rimei appeared in front of Hyōkinji rashly. Did he not die at all? Was he sent to another world?"
"Yes."
"We agreed to have the final battle on December 12th. Wasn't that something you discussed?"
"Yes."
I took a deep breath and asked him, "So, what is your purpose?"
“........” Three seconds later, Ryomen Sukuna suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!"
"What are you laughing at?" I was almost irritated by him and raised my leg to kick him.
"I'm laughing at your pity." He curled up the corners of his mouth and whistled, his mockery full of malice, "Now, you should know why you disdain to take your body and go to Shibuya."
"You are so naive," he said. "Isn't it funny that the thing you want to protect is destined to be destroyed from the beginning?"
"Who else would care about those guys out there except you?" His voice was sharp and piercing, sounding like long nails scratching on a blackboard. "But don't worry."
"I will kill them all right in front of you, one by one, one by one. Hahahaha, hahahaha!"
"......"
"Oh, yes, and those people outside Shinjuku."
“Do you know oranges?”
"........what orange?" I looked at him with a frown.
When he mentioned this topic, he was excited and manic, looking up with his eyes shining. He had a face like a tiger stick, but his expression was like a madman: "At that time, they will be like oranges that have been squeezed, the flesh will burst out of the skin, the juice will flow all over the ground, and the fragrance will fill up."
"It must be pretty good, right?"
"You......!" I almost wanted to vomit after hearing his words. I suppressed my discomfort and continued to ask, "Since you made a deal with Him, you must have had contact with Him."
"Tell me how you found Him."
Ryoumen Sukuna said nothing.
He turned over, looked up at the top of the prison gate, and said calmly, "Even if you find it, what can you do?"
"Can you make Him change His mind?" He said mockingly, "Do you know why you haven't been able to collect the thing in your hand?"
".......What do you mean?"
"What you got was originally a defective product."
"…defective products?"
He closed his eyes and said, "If you want to know, just go and ask yourself."
Ten minutes are up.
"Wait a minute!" I said, "Where can I find Him?"
The next second, I was back outside the prison gate.
Moreover, I have never been able to enter Ryomen Sukuna's mental space again.
