Chapter 217 Catching a Brain (Part 2)

There were only five or six more wisps of red mist, which were not very noticeable in the vast expanse of white fog.

It's actually quite pretty, adding a touch of color to the pure white.

"If there's no way to stop people from entering, then wouldn't anyone who crosses the torii gate without permission die?" Kurenai's tone implied that, "When it comes to cruelty, you humans are the real deal."

They set up a killing formation on one hand, but did not take any measures to prevent others from entering on the other.

"If you set up a method to prevent anything else from entering, how will the barrier be maintained?" Su Wu scoffed.

Ordinary people wouldn't venture into a mountain that looks like it's inhabited by demons and monsters.

"Speaking of which, are you going to attend the grand opening ceremony of Sukuna Shrine?" Gojo Haru remembered something he had almost forgotten.

"A little slower than yours, but the results should be pretty good."

"Fujiwara mentioned it briefly, hoping you could show up then," Gojo Haru casually relayed the Fujiwara family head's wishes.

"It depends on my mood that day. My thoughts change very quickly." Su Wu thought for a moment, neither giving a definite answer nor refusing.

"Thanks to Ryoumen Sukuna, people in Kyoto now have a much better opinion of you, and some have even started to see you as a savior." Gojo Haru suddenly thought of something and joked with a smile.

"The reason they want you to appear is because they're afraid that Ryoumen Sukuna will go on a killing spree that day and no one will be able to stop him." His tone was subtle, as if he felt that those people in Kyoto were somewhat naive, which was out of character for them.

While Kiri-kun isn't a bloodthirsty person like Ryoumen Sukuna, he's not exactly a kind person either.

At least if Ryomen Sukuna were to actually kill everyone in Kyoto, Kiri-kun, if he were present, probably wouldn't do anything and would just watch Ryomen Sukuna slaughter everyone.

"...Because he's so bad, it makes me seem kind..." Su Wu's eyes were subtle.

Although I have a dark and unpleasant face, it's still much better than Ryoumen Sukuna's fierce and menacing appearance.

Sure enough, people judge by appearances.

"However, they'll be disappointed." The white-haired boy shrugged.

"I'm not going to help them," he said casually.

Even if they genuinely believe he is a good person or truly regard him as a god who loves humanity, it has nothing to do with him.

He doesn't want to live under the labels others give him.

"I think so too." Gojo Haru said knowingly.

He had already anticipated the other party's answer.

……

On the day the Ryomen Sukuna Shrine was completed, sorcerers and onmyoji from Kyoto showed up at each other's shrines with great respect.

Just like the day Su Wu's shrine was completed.

The members of the three starter families were naturally present, but Sukuna, the protagonist himself, arrived late.

Ignoring the bowing crowd below, he stood alone in front of his own statue, looking at the statue that was almost identical to him, a slight smile playing on his lips, before turning around and sitting down, resting his chin on his hand, facing the crowd.

What I saw was a sea of ​​heads.

They were all bent over, heads down, only their black backs of heads showing.

This scene seemed very familiar to Su Nuo.

Why doesn't he look familiar? That's how he spent the first ten years of his life.

However, at this moment, along with the bowing gesture, those people would shout one more sentence—

"Lord Fallen Heaven."

Su Nuo's memories seemed to be pulled back to the past in an instant.

The location of the Fallen Angels Cult is a temple. On the surface, it is a temple, but at night it is a gathering place for curse masters and fallen Onmyoji.

They hid Su Nuo in a temple and made offerings to him.

The bald monks chanted scriptures during the day to avoid attracting attention, day after day, and Su Nuo memorized the contents of those scriptures.

The followers who came and went addressed him as "Your Highness/Lord of the Fallen Angels," and when they faced him, they were respectful, yet seemed to harbor a hidden arrogance.

The food they eat is always the same few kinds, bland in flavor, with hardly any meat.

Even after eating, I'm still incredibly hungry late at night.

"I want better food," the pink-haired boy said.

"What you are eating now is the best food you can get," the man who came to pay his respects said.

They seemed very respectful, but didn't care about his living conditions.

The young fallen angel felt resentment and anger.

In his rage, the man was attacked by an unseen slash that appeared suddenly.

He died before the Fallen Angel, his scalding blood splattering onto the Fallen Angel's body.

He didn't like wearing clothes and was always shirtless. When blood splattered on his body, the mouth on his abdomen would stick out its tongue and lick the blood around its mouth clean.

It felt warm, with a vibrant, life-giving energy.

The pink-haired boy's red eyes reflected the man's figure in the pool of blood.

So that day, he found food that satisfied him.

No one from the Fallen Cult bullied him, insulted him, or tormented him.

Everyone regarded him as a young god, hoping that he would grow up and become powerful enough.

Then...to be used by them.

Su Nuo only realized this when he was a little older.

But when he realized the truth, his first reaction was—

They actually dared to try and take advantage of me?

The Fallen Angels' years of training had not been in vain; they had indeed instilled in the Fallen Angels an arrogant, godlike nature.

Intolerant of disobedience, extremely self-centered, and arrogant.

But they forgot that such a person would not allow himself to be controlled or used by anyone.

So, when a woman knelt before him and slowly removed her thin clothes, revealing her fair and smooth body, the pink-haired boy merely raised an eyebrow and smiled coldly.

The Fallen Cult was eager for him to impregnate the women and give birth to children with his bloodline and extraordinary talents.

The pink-haired boy, however, only found it...boring.

Whether it's women offering themselves or followers who pretend not to care while keeping their heads down, they're always watching.

They were all too boring.

At that moment, he lost interest in engaging in pretense and joking around with this group.

[Domain Expansion - Demon-Subduing Shrine]

Almost instantly, all the believers sitting below were taken from their lives.

He then got up, stepped over the corpses, and walked out of the temple through the blood.

When the members of the Fallen Angels chat, they always mention Kyoto.

The powerful Gojo Haru possesses six eyes that can see through everything.

That's why they dared not stay in Kyoto; they were afraid of being discovered by Six-Eyes.

Zenin Akira, who can summon extremely powerful shikigami, and Zenin members who frequently disrupt the activities of the Fallen Angels.

The great Onmyoji Seimei, who was stationed in Kyoto and prevented all demons from daring to invade.

He memorized a series of names of extraordinary human beings.

Kyoto, with so many powerful individuals, must be a very interesting place.

So Fallen decided to go to Kyoto for a visit.

But now, looking at the back of the head in front of him, Su Nuo felt...bored once again.

"You guys... are really boring." He propped his head up with one hand and spoke calmly.

A simple sentence caused the people bending over in front of him to break out in a cold sweat.

With its inhuman characteristics, its ghostly and divine power becomes all the more apparent.

"What's going on?" A clear, youthful voice rescued everyone from their dire situation.

A white-haired boy descended from the sky and landed lightly.

But the monsters following behind him made quite a commotion when they landed.

As soon as the other person landed, you could feel the ground shaking.

A dog demon and a tiger demon, this guy really loves raising demonic beasts.

"You've finally arrived." When Su Nuo saw the boy, the bored expression on his face disappeared, and his eyes brightened considerably.

"If you hadn't come, I was planning to go look for you on the mountain over there." He stood up, put his hands inside his large clothes, and walked towards the white-haired boy.

"That's exactly why I came," Su Wu sighed.

Those guys worked so hard to set up a barrier, I hope it won't be destroyed by the two-faced Sukuna.

"It's strange, the moment I see you, I have this urge to kill you." Ryoumen Sukuna spoke with murderous intent in a tone as if chatting with a friend.

This was a very rare occurrence for him.

He wasn't the type to kill indiscriminately; he only wanted to fight strong opponents, and it was perfectly normal for battles to have life-or-death outcomes.

But this is the first time I've ever felt this way – wanting to kill someone I don't even know their strength.

"..." Su Wu had nothing to say about this.

After all, in a way, he had cloned the other party's abilities. If Sukuna knew the truth, he might not be interested in chatting with him and would take action directly instead.

"I don't think you want to fight me," Su Wu sighed.

He cannot use the Demon-Subduing Shrine on the Two-Faced Su Nuo; he can only use skills like the Boundless Void.

The configuration of "no bottom line" plus "six eyes" is the same as "Gojo Haru".

If Ryomen Sukuna were to fight him, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve anything particularly remarkable...

The only possibility is that his own field is stronger than Gojo Haru's, and he also has the Reversal Technique.

A fight would make Sukuna even more disgusting.

Sukuna had previously clashed with Gojo Haru's domain, breaking the other's domain.

"You seem quite confident in yourself." Su Nu chuckled, not disliking the other's attitude.

The stronger the opponent, the more intense the thrill of victory.

"If you don't believe me, then let's try it." Su Wu shrugged.

The crowd below all looked at the two of them.

It's anyone's guess when they'll start fighting.

And this is exactly what they wanted to see.

It would be a good thing for them if either of them died.

One person like that, with a wicked temperament and a penchant for dominating everyone, is enough.

Of course, the best outcome would be if the two of them could die together.

Many people secretly prayed that the two men would die at each other's hands.

"Fight here? Don't you want your shrine anymore?" Su Wu raised an eyebrow and asked, gesturing towards the shrine below.

"...Let's go somewhere else." Su Nuo looked around and said in a low voice.

He didn't care about the buildings and people below, but the space was indeed too small, and it seemed impossible for them to have a good time.

"As you wish." The white-haired boy nodded very readily.

The two went in the same direction.

Su Wu used Cang and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

However, Su Nuo was able to catch up with him by relying on his physical talent.

Although it didn't disappear in an instant, it quickly left behind a blurry image.

Gojo Haru didn't follow, but stood there watching the direction where the two disappeared, and sighed.

"Why are you sighing?" Hongyan turned her head to look at her.

"Do you think my master will lose?" Kong's voice was deep and somber.

Even Maro, upon hearing this, glared at Gojo Haru with hostility.

"No..." Gojo Haru shook his head with a smile.

He wasn't worried about Wu Jun losing, after all, he had personally experienced the opponent's strength.

He was just wondering, what exactly is the relationship between Kiri-kun and Ryomen Sukuna?

Kiri-kun's attitude towards Ryoumen Sukuna was also different from his attitude towards others.

And those four red eyes...

All of this made Haru Gojo feel that something was beyond his expectations.

Constrained by the times and other factors, Haru Gojo couldn't think of an answer, so he reluctantly chose to give up.

"Oh right, didn't the master give you some instructions when he came before?" Maro suddenly remembered what had happened not long ago.

When the white-haired, blue-eyed boy set off with them, he gave Gojo Haru some instructions privately.

"Yes, that's right. I remember now." Gojo Haru remembered after being reminded.

He's not the type to listen to instructions, so he usually ignores requests from others.

But now that someone has reminded me, I can't pretend I've forgotten.

"Is Zenin Ryohei here?" Gojo Haru looked towards the location of the Zenin family members.

As a pillar of the Zen-in family, Zen-in Ryohei was naturally qualified to participate in some activities.

Now, he stands behind the new head of the Zen family, Zenji.

Relying on his past as a subordinate of Zenji Shōsei, he expressed his loyalty to Zenjiji and thus... became a confidant of the new head of the family.

He was no different from before; there was still a suture line on his forehead.

"Lord Haru, is there something you need from me?" He looked at Gojo Haru as if he didn't understand anything.

"Kirigami said he wants to see you when he comes back," Gojo Haru said, waving his fan.

"So, I'll trouble you to come with us to the shrine." He smiled.

He spoke very politely, but had already grabbed the other person, clearly not intending to give them a chance to refuse.

"..." Zenin Ryohei, or rather the biological raptor in "his" head, was extremely puzzled, confused, and... uneasy.

For some reason, he had a feeling that something troublesome was about to happen...

"Ryohei...did he do something wrong to displease His Highness?" Zeninji asked tentatively from the side.

If that's the case... then he can't protect the other party either.

But if he does nothing, at least Zenin Ryohei was the first person to publicly support him as head of the family. If he does nothing, who knows what others will say about him later.

"It shouldn't be. If that were the case, he shouldn't be alive now." Gojo Haru looked at Zeninji through the blindfold and spoke in a relatively kind tone.

"..." The Zen Master hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He dared not say anything; his only support was his mother, who had become a monster.

But such a mother would feel fear and unease whether facing Ryoumen Sukuna, Tsukuyomi, or Gojo Haruto.

Her strength is definitely inferior to theirs.
