Reigen Arataka leaned against his motorcycle, smoking incessantly. His decadent and desolate appearance made it difficult for ordinary Reincarnators to even identify him.
But this did not include some Reincarnators with special prophecy and divination abilities.
A woman holding a crystal ball in her palm, wearing jeans, chewing gum, with one pigtail dyed pink and the other green.
"Hey, I found that guy, you all come over."
She pressed the microphone on her ear, casually calling out to her teammates.
Her eyes, subtly hidden behind sunglasses, sized up Reigen Arataka. It was a bit of a shame; his current decadent (decadent) appearance no longer suited her aesthetic.
Otherwise, she could have made him into a new collection after getting all the benefits from him.
Soon, a man riding a rather old Harley Davidson motorcycle, wearing sunglasses, appeared in their sight.
Another person came speeding from the wilderness, treading on the withered wild grass.
Reigen Arataka showed no reaction upon seeing the three appear. He neither chose to run away nor did he ask these people the purpose of seeking him out.
He stood rooted to the spot, like a walking corpse.
After the three arrived in front of him, he extinguished his cigarette butt with his fingers and spoke,
"You guys are those kinds of people, aren't you…?"
Reigen Arataka was actually very intelligent, a person who was almost omnipotent except for his psychic abilities. As Ability Users who sought him out kept appearing, and their words constantly probed for Kageyama Shigeo, he realized that this group likely came from the same "organization," and their purpose was to obtain some information from him.
Without exception, he had asked these people to kill his disciple.
It was this repeated cycle that caused Reigen Arataka immense Mental torment.
When he once again made his request, these three did not leave as he had expected.
The woman chewing gum suddenly let out a sneer.
"This guy actually wants to solve the problem of Mob (Kageyama Shigeo) using this method, tsk, this teacher is really something else."
Her tone was mocking, and her gaze at Reigen Arataka was full of condescension.
That playful, almost mocking look, as if playing with a mouse, instantly reminded Reigen Arataka of those people from half a year ago.
"You are…"
He suddenly stood up, with such force that he knocked over his own motorcycle.
"What do you guys want to do?! Where did you take Kageyama Ritsu and those children?!"
The woman blew a bubble indifferently. She didn't actually know the specifics of how those people carried out the last mission, but she could generally guess.
To stimulate Kageyama Shigeo's dark transformation, it was nothing more than taking advantage of him being preoccupied with other matters, then abusing or kidnapping the people Kageyama Shigeo cherished.
To do it more subtly, one could even lay some groundwork, for example, by sending someone to join Reigen Arataka and Kageyama Shigeo's faction, building up reputation, and then, after Reigen Arataka spouted some "truth, goodness, and beauty" principles, acting against those people.
This sense of betrayal, contrast, and moral loss, coupled with the pain of losing beloved relatives, would be enough to completely tear apart the heart of an already unstable teenager like Kageyama Shigeo.
The woman felt satisfied that she had come up with such a plan in mere seconds.
A cruel curve played on her lips.
After all, Reincarnators are just such beings.
Faction?
Reputation?
Recognition?
Everything is merely a necessary step to acquire rewards; Reincarnators do not invest any so-called true feelings in such matters.
As long as there are greater benefits, everything can be destroyed at any time.
This is the choice of the "most competent" Reincarnators at present.
Reigen Arataka seemed to see that face he loathed again, and he punched the woman's face.
Bang!
The man on the Harley motorcycle stepped forward, voluntarily extended his face, and took Reigen Arataka's blow.
Reigen Arataka's fist immediately started bleeding, but the man showed no reaction.
"Reigen Arataka… what a weak fist."
He then grabbed Reigen Arataka by the collar, lifted him up, and, raising his head high, was about to smash the other's head with his own.
The man codenamed Mok, his second favorite way of killing, was to smash the opponent's head with his own, letting brain matter and blood splatter all over his face.
"Hey, Mok, wait a minute. If you kill this guy directly, the singularity points level probably won't be very high."
"Let's find a way to make him useful. Interrogate him to find out the locations of other named individuals he knows."
"Although the reward from that Mu Shuren guy is good, it's still a bit short when split among the three of us."
The man, completely wrapped in a black bodysuit and black mask, spoke in a muffled voice. He appeared very slender, standing with his arms crossed, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
A black katana was strapped to his back.
[37] was his codename, and also the number of Reincarnators he had killed. He belonged to the type who constantly changed his codename.
The woman, Mok, impatiently extended her hand, and a powerful Mental force instantly captured Reigen Arataka.
She was about to use her ability to search his brain.
But then, she suddenly heard a soft laugh.
"Oh my, oh my, our host really did predict it."
"You guys, you really won't even spare this poor teacher…"
Flippant, arrogant, just by hearing the voice, one knew that the other party was extremely confident in his own abilities and didn't take them seriously at all.
Momo bit through her gum, lifted her head, and saw a tall man in a black-collared male high school uniform standing in the sky, at some unknown point.
He was now leaning down, his silver-white hair and black eye mask quite distinctive.
"Gojo Satoru? Or a COS-type avatar?!"
Momo didn't make a judgment immediately; there were indeed many Reincarnators in the space who would set their avatars as certain plot characters.
This setting was also quite clever, sometimes even having unexpectedly misleading effects.
Gojo Satoru flipped and landed from the sky. He walked a few steps with his hands in his pockets, blocking Reigen Arataka, and said to the group,
"As a teacher deeply beloved by his students, I can't pretend not to see this, can I?"
He shamelessly praised himself.
Reigen Arataka looked around; he didn't see anyone appear, but from the actions of the three people, he deduced that some kind of spirit or similar entity had appeared.
Pop!
Momo snapped her fingers, and her telekinetic power instantly exploded.
But Gojo Satoru stood his ground, his smile unchanged, completely unaffected.
The woman frowned, realizing something was amiss.
Mok had already raised his right hand, his fist rapidly deforming. His body transformed into silver-white liquid metal, instantly forming a long blade, which he swung forcefully.
Clang!
The silver-white long blade also stopped in front of Gojo Satoru.
"Be careful, it seems to really be Gojo Satoru's Limitless!"
Momo reacted and loudly warned, and 37 immediately threw several smoke bombs.
The moment the poisonous smoke, mixed with various toxins, began to spread from the ground.
Gojo Satoru had already formed a hand seal.
"Domain Expansion: Limitless Void~"
Having fought with Hong Chen, Gojo Satoru deeply realized that while the abilities of this group were strange, his Limitless Void... was quite effective.
