"Boss, we don't have much time left. Stage 1 of the main mission is over. I'm afraid either the Curse Spirit King will awaken and slaughter Tokyo, or... it will be a nuclear explosion."
Wei Yixiao's expression was a little tense.
No matter which one it was, once the Boss's plan failed and they didn't retreat in time, the Fifth Element would probably be removed today.
A Werewolf nearly three meters tall walked over from a distance at this moment, the crimson light on his claws gradually dimming.
"Bat, are you that scared, kid?"
"A nuclear explosion, I really want to try it. If I can withstand a nuclear explosion, in reality, can I go to the surrounding small countries and do whatever I want? You've seen Baki, right..."
The Werewolf was very talkative. This Werewolf, code-named You Jiu, was called Ninth Brother by them, and was one of the few people with the highest combat power in the team besides the Boss, Kai.
Not only was his killing power strong, but his vitality was also terrifying. In a previous world, he had the record of rushing into a modern army alone and killing hundreds of people. Of course, that army didn't have heavy firepower.
"Ninth Brother, you should still go to the Goddess to adjust your bloodline. I feel like your brain is getting more and more abnormal."
Behind the Werewolf, the Woman with glasses carrying a sniper rifle ruthlessly mocked her companion.
She couldn't stand You Jiu's crazy actions anymore. In the last world, he insisted on charging into a modern army alone, and in this world, he was already dreaming of withstanding a nuclear explosion.
The Woman wore a baseball cap, and there was a flame-like mark on her right cheek. Her code name was Basha, and she was also You Jiu's bedmate. The two had a relationship beyond the team contract.
Kai ignored the few people and continued to think.
In the world before last, they were ambushed by Baimian, and the team lost several members. Then, before the last world, he traded for some singularities, temporarily added members, and made targeted arrangements.
This time, he deliberately followed Baimian to this world, wanting to wash away the shame.
But he didn't expect that guy Baimian to be so crazy, messing up the plot world completely. This kind of action of turning Tokyo into a dead city was something he had only seen in those 'Fierce' level monsters.
At this moment, a trace of regret suddenly arose in Kai's heart. Perhaps he shouldn't continue to be an enemy of such a guy.
Thump!
The huge sound startled everyone, and they all subconsciously entered a combat stance.
Thump!
Thump!
The huge sound gradually became regular, starting to ring out continuously, one after another.
"It's a heartbeat, Boss..."
Wei Yixiao's voice unconsciously became very low, as if he was afraid of waking something up.
He had already realized that within the black barrier that resembled a giant embryo, the Curse Spirit King had been successfully nurtured.
A heartbeat had been generated.
Roar!
Moo!
The roars of countless Cursed Spirits resounded from various parts of Tokyo. Those Cursed Spirits became restless, and in the air, the power of curses even began to become visible to the naked eye.
Bang, bang, bang...
A series of explosions occurred, and the talismans worn by the few people exploded one by one.
"Boss, what should we do? We have to make a decision quickly!"
Basha's voice was a little sharp, and she also felt a certain fear.
At this moment, the Reincarnator A Jia Su, who was responsible for analyzing near the barrier, also turned back at the same time, his face anxious.
"Boss, Baimian's situation doesn't seem good!"
Kai crushed the cigarette with his fingers and instantly made a decision.
"You Jiu, Basha, go guard the periphery. If any plot characters or Reincarnators approach, kill them directly. If you can't kill them, try to hold them back as much as possible."
"The others, follow me in!"
He tapped his toe, and his figure instantly disappeared. The next moment, the ground he had stepped on collapsed with a roar.
Emitting a strong fluctuation all over his body, Kai took the lead and rushed directly to the edge of the barrier.
Around this huge barrier, the bones of several people wearing white Onmyoji clothing were scattered.
This was a clue, and Xia Youjie obtained key information from here.
But the Fifth Element was not a team that was good at analyzing plots and discovering mission types. They were better at combat.
A Jia Su formed a hand seal, and a strong spiritual power fluctuation appeared. The next moment, a gap was torn in the black barrier, and a few people entered one after another.
Wei Yixiao was in the distance, watching Boss Kai and Old Gui and others enter the black barrier one by one. He inexplicably felt a chill, but at this time, the commander of the peripheral personnel was Ninth Brother.
This rough Werewolf didn't care about the danger, he just slapped Wei Yixiao almost flying, and teased,
"Bat, stop looking. Let's think about where to catch those guys you let go."
"You really need to kill more. Your attributes are too low."
Wei Yixiao's mouth twitched twice, but he couldn't smile at all. He didn't know if there was something wrong with him or with the others. Didn't anyone notice that sense of danger that almost froze one's soul...
He looked down at his feet. At some point, a layer of cold water had appeared on the ground in Tokyo. Although he was wearing shoes, he could still feel the biting cold from it.
Inside the barrier, a young girl wearing a white cloak with golden edges held several withered fingers in her hand. Even in the dark and lightless barrier, surrounded by countless vengeful spirits, the girl was still not invaded.
"They really are a bunch of fools. I hid some of Ryomen Sukuna's fingers in advance, and those guys didn't even think of awakening Ryomen Sukuna to deal with me?"
"Heh, when this ritual is over, I'll have a good time playing with you again, Kai..."

[You have triggered the hidden mission: The End of the Tsuchimikado Clan]
[Mission Description: Tsuchimikado Clan's Yakou created a massive spiritual disaster in Tokyo with the Emperor Style · Mount Tai Feng Ceremony, laying the groundwork for today's calamity. The Tsuchimikado Clan requests you to end the ritual as atonement]
[Mission Reward: Settlement based on completion]
[Mission Penalty: None]
When Bai Cangshu and Xia Youjie walked out of the Tsuchimikado Clan courtyard, there was no longer any sound of people in the courtyard.
"Tsk, he's really a cruel guy. He doesn't show any mercy to elderly elders."
Xia Youjie narrowed his eyes and mocked Bai Cangshu like this.
[Your actions have gained the appreciation of the plot character Xia Youjie. Your reputation with Xia Youjie has increased]
[Current: Friendly (12/100)]
Bai Cangshu's mouth curved up. Looking at this man who was also saying something different from what he meant, he again revealed the smile that made Xia Youjie feel nostalgic.
"Cruelty, kindness, old age, youth, are those things really that important to you?"
"Xia Youjie, you are far inferior to Gojo Satoru..."
Bai Cangshu's directness made Xia Youjie's expression freeze for a moment, but soon, he quickly followed.
He really saw Gojo Satoru's shadow in Bai Cangshu's demeanor, and Xia Youjie didn't deny the fact that he was inferior to Gojo Satoru.
When he was young, he really thought that he and Gojo Satoru were the same people, the same 'strongest'.
But as Gojo Satoru awakened after being killed by Fushiguro Toji, revealing that expression of being the only one in heaven and on earth, Xia Youjie truly felt that he was far incomparable to Gojo Satoru.
That wasn't the gap between Cursed Spirit Manipulation and Limitless, nor was it the gap in Cursed Energy.
That was the 'essential' gap between himself and Gojo Satoru.
Xia Youjie was essentially a very 'weak' person. He needed many things to support his actions.
Just as he always emphasized, 'the strong should help the weak', he took this concept as his creed, supporting himself to constantly eat those Cursed Spirits that were like rags stained with vomit, and then use Cursed Spirit Manipulation to save more weak people.
Just as even if he was rebellious and wanted to turn the world into a world with only Jujutsu Sorcerers, the reason was also because of the harm suffered by others.
Whether it was Amanai Riko dying as a Star Plasma Vessel, and Tsukumo Yuki telling him that there were actually other Star Plasma Vessels;
His kind junior dying cruelly in a mission;
Jujutsu Sorcerers protecting ordinary people and exorcising Cursed Spirits at the risk of their lives, but the ordinary people in a certain village were wantonly harming the girl with Jujutsu Sorcerer power.
Everything accumulated together, destroying Xia Youjie's philosophy of life, so he had to blacken, he had to degenerate, and he had to take revenge on the world for this.
This was a 'normal person' whose every action and every idea had a tightly fitting emotional Logic.
But for Jujutsu Sorcerers, 'normal person' meant not being strong enough.
Gojo Satoru was completely different from Xia Youjie. His protection of ordinary people was more like an interest, more like a game.
It was like humans feeding stray cats and dogs, just like humans giving alms to homeless beggars when they were in a good mood.
That was a kind of pastime based on being far stronger than the other party.
He didn't protect people for any reason, and he didn't need too many reasons to kill people.
The officially awakened Gojo Satoru found his true self. At that moment, he looked at those ordinary people of the Star Religious Group and only said one sentence,
"Should I kill them all?"
There was no emotional fluctuation, just as casually as asking Xia Youjie whether he should step on these ants.
Xia Youjie had become increasingly aware of this gap over the years, but 'essence' was far more despairing than talent, Cursed Energy, or techniques.
That was your self, your soul, you couldn't change it.
But today, Xia Youjie saw another human who gave him this feeling.
Although this tall man was completely incomparable to Gojo Satoru in terms of Cursed Energy, that arrogance that almost permeated from his bones, that rebelliousness that was completely centered on his own judgment within the overflowing Cursed Energy, was exactly the same.
Read the correct version at 1619shuba!
"Compared to a guy like Satoru, of course everyone will be far inferior."
"However, Mr., would you like to join our Star Religious Group? If you want to do that kind of thing, you definitely can't do it alone."
[Plot character · Xia Youjie invites you to join the Star Religious Group faction. Do you accept?]
Bai Cangshu didn't expect that after going around in circles, he would eventually return to this path.
However, he had indeed now caught the clue to completing this main mission, which was clearly over its difficulty level.
Crack.
Bai Cangshu stopped. Xia Youjie noticed that the blue stone slab he stepped on instantly cracked. His physical strength was truly astonishingly terrifying.
He couldn't help but wonder, without Heavenly Restriction, what kind of technique could make his physical strength reach this level.
Bai Cangshu looked at Xia Youjie and suddenly spoke,
"Do you want your best friend to rest in peace, Xia Youjie?"
"I have a plan."
Bai Cangshu's mouth was still smiling, but Xia Youjie felt a chilling killing intent from it.
But coincidentally, Xia Youjie himself was a person who was not afraid of death and even wanted to destroy himself to some extent.
...
That night, Xia Youjie suddenly issued an order. The Star Religious Group and all the Jujutsu Sorcerer forces currently gathered all moved towards Tokyo.
The Star Religious Group headquarters was empty of people. Only those politicians were still doing the final coordination work, and the security was replaced by military personnel.
Ieiri Shoko stood on the edge of the dead city. Jujutsu Sorcerers like Rixiabu who had escaped from Tokyo were also scattered around. Everyone looked at the once prosperous Tokyo, and they were all silent.
"What, do you know the true nature of that technique?"
"If we enter Tokyo at this time, won't we be affected by the nuclear explosion?"
Ieiri Shoko's expression was calm. Her personality was quite detached. After her last close relatives had all died, she was like stagnant water.
Another friend from the past, Xia Youjie, also seemed like a walking corpse in her eyes, being pushed towards the most dangerous place.
Xia Youjie looked at Shoko, who had a bright smile when she was young, and now, after repeated losses, she had finally become like this. His mouth curved up, revealing a mocking smile.
This damned world, it would be great if it could be nuked together.
He increasingly felt that perhaps that madman's plan was the best.
"Don't worry, the nuclear explosion will stop."
Rixiabu frowned.
"Those politicians don't look like they'll accept your orders."
Japan has always had a model where the surface world and the hidden world are separate. Thanks to continuous education, although Jujutsu Sorcerers have power, they have never interfered with the surface world.
Of course, the biggest reason for this is that the politicians in the surface world have actually always been under the control of those powerful families.
But now, as Tokyo's population has been almost annihilated, those powerful families have also been severely damaged.
Politicians have gained unprecedented autonomy.
At this time, those madmen probably can't wait to nuke all the powerful families.
Xia Youjie spread his hands, and Cursed Spirits began to appear one by one.
"They don't need to accept orders. Only madmen know how to deal with madmen."
At the same time, Bai Cangshu had already arrived at the Star Religious Group headquarters and knocked on the door of the conference room.
Because he was also a faction member recognized by Xia Youjie, he was not suspected.
After Bai Cangshu entered the conference room, those politicians just looked up and then continued to confirm the time and coordinates with the US side.
Clap, clap, clap.
Bai Cangshu's clapping sound was too loud, attracting everyone's attention.
The Prime Minister frowned.
"Didn't your patriarch tell you not to disturb our work unless there is a major safety issue?"
Bai Cangshu smiled brightly.
"Everyone, I am now reporting a major safety issue."
"An assassin has infiltrated our headquarters and is preparing to slaughter all of you."
Bai Cangshu's words instantly made these politicians nervous, and many people were already contacting the guards.
But the Prime Minister suddenly noticed the bloody footprint on the ground behind the Jujutsu Sorcerer who delivered the message.
"You..."
As soon as he spoke, Bai Cangshu clapped his hands together.
Bang!
The Blast-like sound like a flashbang made these politicians scream in terror.
"That's right, you're so smart, Prime Minister. That assassin... is me!"
Bai Cangshu laughed loudly and rushed into the crowd.
[You killed Prime Minister Abe Taishi, gaining 100 dimensional points]
[Milestone: Killer Progress updated, current: 27/1000]
[You killed the politician...]
...
While tearing apart, Bai Cangshu was thinking that the Lord Taishan technique was an extremely rare opportunity for Reincarnators.
If it were him, would he really choose to use this technique to curse Gojo Satoru to death?
No, if it were him, he would definitely use it to strengthen himself, just like... that Hao Asakura did!
Bai Cangshu guessed that he had perhaps completely understood the purpose of that terrifying hidden Reincarnator.
