Chapter 427 Back to Modern Times
Note: This chapter is two chapters in one
My...real ability?
Ryoumen Sukuna stretched out his left hand. I followed his movement and moved my eyes to the left. I saw that the two eyes on his wrist, which I had almost ignored, were actually almost full.
Energy fluctuations began to emerge frequently, and the originally strong eye color emerged inch by inch, as if colorful paint was dropped into clear water, emerging with colorful light.
Soon, they converged into a two-meter-high, arched door-shaped passage.
Unexpectedly yet reasonably familiar - this is the door I must pass through every time I want to return to my original world.
However, the progress bar did not reach the top. How did Ryoumen Sukuna summon it out and open it?
With such doubts in mind, I was about to speak, but suddenly I saw that my right hand had grabbed the clothes on the back of Yuji and threw them in through the door without mercy.
I heard objects rolling and colliding on the ground, followed by Yuji's cry of pain.
"Ow~"
The pink-haired boy rolled over a small mound of earth and stood up by holding onto the tree trunk. The snow on the branches and leaves fell all over his head and slid down his collar under the influence of gravity.
The cold wind blows, and just looking at the picture can evoke infinite coolness.
"Ryomen Sukuna!" Yuji shivered from the cold, then complained in dissatisfaction, and shouted, "You threw people over there for no reason, what are you doing!"
"Yeah!" I was also jumping up and down in my mind image space at the same time, "Didn't the content of the deal say that you are not allowed to harm anyone who appears in front of you?!"
"As soon as you got the right to use it, you started to attack Yuhito. What is this?"
In fact, the fact that Prince Hisahito was thrown out was not a very important matter.
The most important thing is, does the fact that Ryoumen Sukuna can do this mean that he is no longer afraid of the impact of [Restraint]? This is the most critical core factor.
The voice came out in the air, without any echo.
Ryoumen Sukuna frowned, his eyes fixed intently on the colorful light on the door. After a while, he walked around the door in a full circle, as if analyzing the composition and structure of the passage.
This door has nothing in common with the Anywhere Door in Doraemon.
It is more like a cloud floating in the sky, and the place where it connects with the ground is covered by soft white light. It has no weight, does not move, and it is impossible to see what is contained in it. It just quietly unfolds, stays, and waits.
"Hey, Sukuna, say something."
He ignored my voice and walked straight towards the door.
First he probed with his hands, then his head, torso, left foot, right foot, and finally he crossed it completely.
His body passed through the converging light like a bird in the forest flying through the light path in the Tyndall effect.
The friction between the soles of the small leather shoes and the snow made a rustling sound, leaving clear patterned shoe prints on the white ground. The wind passed through the woods and flowed freely in the upper valley.
It's a quiet moment.
His two feet jumped up in the air and then landed completely back on this land from thousands of years ago. He did not cross space or travel through time as expected.
"What exactly do you want?" After the brief negotiation and confrontation just now, Yuji did not act rashly. He kept a certain distance from Ryomen Sukuna, clenched his fists, and asked vigilantly.
Those eyes as clear as amber reflected Ryomen Sukuna's suddenly furrowed brows.
Even though he was using my body, the feeling was completely different.
In his every move, besides his usual arrogance and domineering attitude, his unrestrained hostility was always as obvious as a smoke bomb, giving people the feeling that he was not easy to mess with and was extremely dangerous.
Putting aside other things, if I go out on the street every day with this arrogant attitude, I guess the gangsters, thieves and bullies will have to take a detour when they see me.
"Tsk." Ryoumen Sukuna tilted his head, rubbed his chin with two fingers, and muttered to himself, "Could it be bound to the soul?"
soul.
When I caught these two key words, my heart moved and I raised my hand. Sure enough - there were still two clear eye patterns of me printed on it.
And the amber gem ring on the left hand is still worn on it.
So, regardless of whether the torso is used by the person himself or not, these things have been bound to the soul and become an inseparable part of Suzuki Yuri?
When the real people came to attack me, I seem to remember that they mentioned that my soul was special, as if it was trapped by a hard glass cover and could not be touched. Also, when they tried to attack me, they were blocked by the glowing ring.
Wow, it's like a divine weapon has recognized its master. Could it be that I really am the chosen one, the protagonist in Jump?
In short, although I am still confused about many details, through Ryomen Sukuna's series of actions just now, I have more or less figured out his intentions.
This guy probably wants to use my body to open the channel connecting the two worlds and travel from here to the reality - no, it should be called my world.
Since my soul was still here, he successfully took one step and used some unknown information obtained from the noose to open the door, but because it was a bound object, he failed to successfully pass through.
There are no messy cursed spirits, no sorcerers with strong martial virtues, and no organizations specifically designed to fight against him. Doesn't it make it convenient for him to kill without restraint?
Haha, the abacus is quite clever.
But let’s not talk about the fact that he can’t get through at all. Even if he succeeds, there will still be monsters in that world. It’s also a split world, and the cats on our side are even cuter. I don’t believe that there won’t be a character who can fight against Ryomen Sukuna.
"You can't get through." After figuring out all these tricks, my tense nerves finally relaxed a little. I calmly climbed onto the high skull-shaped seat that only two Sukuna would sit on, crossed my legs and said, "You want to go through this door to the other side and be free and easy? You're dreaming."
However, this did not break his defense.
About ten seconds later, I heard him snort, neither light nor heavy, and say something ambiguous: "Is that all you can think of?"
"Then I really hope you will stay stupid like this."
.......What do you mean. Is there any information about my body that he has not revealed? But if you think about it, you know that he will never reveal it to me.
"You've planned everything, but in the end, you still haven't accomplished anything?" I stood up and retorted, "Ryomen Sukuna, if you have any tricks, just use them. Don't let me look down on you."
"If you keep scolding me," he said indifferently, closing his eyes completely, "I will strip this kid of his clothes and pants if you continue to scold me. Oh, by the way, you seem to care a lot about these pieces of flesh on your body."
Yuji was stunned for a few seconds.
"How could you do this?" He jumped up angrily, pointed at Ryoumen Sukuna and shouted, "Your actions just now and now are both considered violations of the rules!"
"Violating the restraints?" Ryoumen Sukuna raised the corner of his lips, rolled his eyes, and said half sarcastically, "What behavior just now violated the restraints? I threw you over there just to test the way. You didn't stand firmly and fell to the ground. What does it have to do with me?"
"Besides, what kind of injury would stripping you naked be? How would it hurt me?" He raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, glanced at the clothes draped over my shoulders, and said with interest, "As for this body, it is now completely under my control."
"I can wear clothes if I want to, and even if I don't want to, I can take them off. It has nothing to do with you. What's your business?"
Me: “!!!!!!!!!!!” Damn, he keeps shouting about pieces of meat, pieces of meat, and he doesn’t even treat me as a woman. Maybe he can actually do something like walking around here openly.
If this guy lacks moral integrity, his bottom line might be even lower than that of a noose.
However, according to the logic of his words just now, although this person can bypass certain loopholes in his words to disgust people to a certain extent, and we currently have no measures to counter him, but Qi Kuo does have a certain degree of restraint on him.
This way, at least I can ensure that if we can return to the modern era, he won't be able to use my body to commit evil and kill people. It can be considered as an insurance policy.
However, soon, I no longer had the energy to care about these technical details, because Ryoumen Sukuna started to act again.
He successively used [Release], [Eight], [Open], Slash, Fire, and Curse to output a large amount of power, and even opened a simple field and [Subdue Demons and Control the Cook]. Naturally, there was still no response.
Although it's inappropriate, I suddenly remembered a short video I once saw. The raccoon got the food and put it in the sink, planning to wash it before eating it. However, as soon as he put it in, he fished it out and found nothing.
"Pfft." I couldn't help but laugh at him. "Is that all you can do? You won't be able to make others fall in love with you this way."
"Hey, Ryomen Sukuna, have you had enough of this?" As a bystander, Yuji was the one who suffered the most.
Although the attacks were not directed at him, they would always brush against parts of his body from time to time. After a short while, the Riying High School uniform he was wearing was already tattered, and with the scratches and mud marks left by his previous battle, he could almost be called ragged.
"It seems that no matter what you do, it will be in vain."
"Ha." Hearing this, he just sneered and didn't say anything.
After staring at the door for about ten seconds, he seemed to suddenly remember something and his expression became irritated. The next second, he actually closed his eyes and returned to the mental space.
He flew to my right side and kicked me down without any mercy: "This is mine, why are you sitting here? Get out."
"Hey, what are you—"
Before I could even finish my sentence, I found myself standing in the cold snow again, with 100% control over my body again.
Before 12 hours were up, he took the initiative to return the usage rights.
"We agreed in advance." I blinked and said, "You shortened the time by yourself. The next time you can do it will be three months later."
When he reappeared, he had become a mouth on the side of Yuji's cheek. However, even though he only had a mouth, he still looked like he deserved a beating.
"Whatever. Since you're capable, it's your turn."
"Don't blame me for not warning you." The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing his fangs with an evil look. "If you don't hurry up, you'll be too late."
After saying this, he stopped making any sound and disappeared completely.
"Tsk, what are you pulling for?" I kicked him in dissatisfaction, and vented my anger by pulling the body of Sukuna from the ground until only a pair of shorts was left on it. After kicking it dozens of meters away, I finally turned my attention back to the door.
"Sister Yushin." When Yuji saw that it was me who came back, he let out a light breath, then came closer to me with a nervous expression and asked, "What on earth is this? It seems like you and Ryomen Sukuna know the answer."
"............" I pulled the corners of my mouth with mixed feelings, sighed, and said helplessly, "To be honest, Youren, I don't really understand it either. I just know that this is some kind of channel connecting the two spaces."
"Tunnel..." He repeated these two words over and over again, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "Is it something similar to the black hole that sent us here?"
"Maybe." I nodded, took his arm, took two tentative steps forward, made up my mind, and said simply, "Forget it, let's try it out."
The situation may not be that bad.
Whether returning to the modern era or going to my world, it is safer than the land beneath our feet.
The chest of the man on the ground was still rising and falling, and he was breathing out hot air. It was difficult to kill him after Ryoumen Sukuna and I had restrained him, but if we didn't leave, he might wake up at any time and kill us.
The only thing to do now is to go through that door and leave quickly.
Thinking of this, I finally made up my mind, held his arm tightly, and walked forward in one go.
Before entering that door, I told him, "XXXX-XXXXXXXXX, this is my phone number. You must remember it well. If we get separated in there, you must call me."
"Okay, Sister Youxin." Although Yuji didn't know why I emphasized this, he nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, I've already memorized your phone number."
"Oh, right. If you call me when you get there and I don't recognize you," I looked up and thought for a moment, then said, "Just say you're a student who was kicked out of the house by your feudal-minded parents and ended up living on the streets because you like cosplay, and you asked me to take you in."
“Okay… ah?” He didn’t nod his head, but turned to look at me in confusion, “A student living on the streets?”
"Yeah." I waved my hand and said seriously, "But it's just in case."
Given that he looks very similar to Yuji Itadori and has an innocent look in his eyes, should I... choose to help him?
After passing through that door, we did not step into empty space like Ryomen Sukuna did.
The sudden white light scattered around me, and the tiny lights flickered one after another, just like the scene of the starry sky in the universe.
I looked around and saw the two familiar hemispherical shapes, which made me feel a little relieved.
Returning to this space, it seems that what I am returning to is not my world, but most likely the modern world a thousand years later.
But...where is the exit?
I moved my hands and realized that without me noticing, Yuji's figure had disappeared from my surroundings.
After the light was extinguished, darkness filled my vision again, and there seemed to be a sound of something shattering in my head.
"Since December, no new cursed spirits have been found. The rate at which humans are giving birth to cursed spirits has reached zero, an unprecedented level."
In a trance, I recalled someone standing in front of a conference table, saying something with a serious face, as if the end of the world was about to come.
