A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

"…How long have I slept?" he asked puzzledly.

"..."

No one responded.

"I'm asking you! Xuanhao!!"

Xuanhao was also in the room, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window drinking red wine.

He didn't respond because he didn't know that these words were directed at him.

"About... two days, right? It's the evening of the 14th now."

"Oh! Boy! Are you awake!?"

At this moment, Takaba Fumio, who had just returned from the convenience store, greeted Fushiguro Megumi who had just woken up with a smile.

"Are you hungry? I brought back a lot of good stuff!"

"Ice cream!" The angelic girl looked at the contents of the bag and got excited. "Do you have mint chocolate flavor?"

"Yes! There are more frozen foods left in stores with electricity. Why isn't there a power outage?" Gao Yu Fumihiko complained with some confusion as he handed her the ice cream.

"Don't you know?" The angel explained as a matter of course, "It's not an earthquake, the power facilities won't stop automatically. The cursed spirits mostly attack humans and don't damage buildings much. But the risk of leakage cannot be ruled out. Considering the people who remain in the barrier, the power supply from outside the barrier has not been cut off. Mr. Gao Yu, you became a player outside the barrier, right? Before coming here, didn't you hear about it in the news?"

"I don't watch the news much..." Gao Yu Fumihiko responded somewhat embarrassedly.

"It means something else if an adult is still so naive. Perhaps Kinsoku used the higher-ups to make this decision in order not to hinder the operation of the Death and Annihilation Tour." Fushiguro Megumi guessed calmly, "Anyway, I'm going to the bathroom first and take a shower. In the meantime, you guys should sort out the situation from the past two days."

··········
"Xuan Hao arrived at Gao Yu's battle scene first, and then the two of them started working together to look for me."

"I met Kurusu (the angel) who was moving me. Is this what happened?"

"Do you understand what it means to be on guard against others?"

After listening to the three people's stories, Megumi Fushiguro complained speechlessly.

These three people were not on guard against each other at all, and they watched him wake up peacefully. It was simply a miracle.

"Oh, don't take it so seriously." Xuanhao and others responded in unison.

"Sorry...thank you for saving me." Anyway, no matter what, Megumi Fushiguro still thanked them.

"Oh, don't take it so seriously." The three of them responded in unison again.

"Let's not talk about this for now, look! Fushiguro!!"

After sorting out the situation, Xuanhao held the gold in his hand and said to Fushiguro Megumi in surprise, "Senior Cheng got 100 points!!"

"And that's not all!! Otsutsuki-senpai actually got 190 points!! Add our score, 359 points!! Goal accomplished!! I can be like Azu Miki-nee!!"

Upon hearing this, Megumi Fushiguro closed his eyes and nodded slightly, thinking.

Good...very good!! Next, let's see how many points we need to escape death and return to the game after adding the rules!!

"Wait, can I use your scores?"

Suddenly, Fushiguro Megumi remembered something and asked Takahashi Fumihiko and Kurusu. After all, these two people just met them.

"Oh! Of course!" Gao Yu Fuyan responded as a matter of course, "Thanks to Xuan Hao for changing the rules, I can survive even if I don't harm other people's lives. I am really grateful. Feel free to use it!"

"Me too, I don't really need grades." Kurusu also said.

"Kurisu, we have something else we want to ask you..." Fushiguro Megumi said.

"We are looking for a player called 'Angel', but we heard that the 'Angel' should be in the Second Barrier of Tokyo. Kurusu, are you the 'Angel'? If so, why did you save me? Why are you in the First Barrier of Tokyo?"

"'Angel' is me," Kurusu responded calmly.

At the same time, another voice came to her mind, a voice that made Fushiguro Megumi and Takaha Fumihiko's hair stand on end.

"How can you question a girl repeatedly?"

Suddenly, a mouth grew on Kurusu's face and he grinned at them.

"Ah, same as me."

Xuanhao immediately understood that Laiqi was also a container.

"First answer the reason why I saved you. Xiaohua has always treated you..."

“Ahh——!?”

Kurusu quickly covered the mouth that had grown, preventing him from continuing.

"When you see someone lying on the side of the road, how can you not help them?"

"What a nice guy."

"You are looking for me because you know my technique?"

"The spell is invalidated. The barrier spell including the seal is no exception. We can enter and exit the barrier."

The mouth grew out from the back of Kurusu's hand that was covering his face, and he continued.

"Because of the sea, there are more cursed spirits than players in Tokyo's second barrier. So they moved here."

"Why? As long as they avoid the night, the movement trajectory of the cursed spirits will be much simpler than that of players." Fushiguro Megumi asked puzzledly.

"My goal is to eliminate all incarnated players. Many of them killed the self-awareness of the container during the incarnation process. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, it is not allowed. This goes against the laws of God."

"god?"

"It's just a neat name for my creed, no need to dwell on it."

"So I took the approach of coexisting with Hua myself." The soul residing in Kurusu's body answered truthfully.

"Then could you please not talk about my private affairs casually?" Kurusu complained.

"Can the angel's ritual allow the incarnated player to answer questions about his state before incarnation?" Fushiguro Megumi asked again.

"Although I cannot say for sure that it is impossible, Danmu will die 99% of the time. Because receiving the body is also a fusion of the cursed object and the body. It is extremely difficult to delicately separate one from the other."

"It seems that if I die, Sukuna will not survive because of this reason..." Xuan Hao thought after hearing this.

"Do you have someone you want to restore? Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't help."

"No, we want your help to lift the seal of a special cursed object called the Prison Gate." Megumi Fushiguro explained.

"I see. The seal of the cursed object should be possible."

"It went very smoothly... This way Gojo Sensei can return, it was so smooth that it was scary." Fushiguro Megumi and Xuanhao bumped their fists, expressing their gratitude for the smooth development of things.

But the next moment, it was interrupted.

“But you have to help us do something first, and then we can talk about lifting the seal on the prison gate.” The host soul suddenly put forward a condition.

"You don't want us to help you kill all the incarnated players, do you?" asked Megumi Fushiguro with cold sweat on his forehead.

"I'm not that greedy. But there is one person among the incarnated players that I must get rid of at all costs. 'Fallen'. I promise you, as long as I can kill this player, I will spare no effort to help you."

···········
At this moment, Xuan Hao was called into the spiritual world by Sukuna.

"what's up?"

He looked at Sukuna in front of him and asked puzzledly.

"Just seeing your face makes me sick."

"Haha, I want to tell you something before some idiot makes a slip of the tongue and makes a promise to someone else." Sukuna laughed.

"?"

"'Fallen', that's me."

Sukuna's self-exposure immediately caused the situation to become chaotic.

"What?"

"...? Xuanhao?"

Seeing Xuanhao stunned when he heard the name "Fallen", Fushiguro Megumi called him with some confusion.

"what happened to you?"

"…I feel a little uncomfortable…"

"Kurisu, I want to lie down for a while, can you give me the sofa?" "Okay."

"

Did you have a stomachache?" Gao Yu Shiyan asked doubtfully.

"no……"

Xuanhao was seen stretching while lying down and giving a secret signal to Fushiguro Megumi.

"The fallen angel is inside me! Sukuna!"

"!?"

Although Fushiguro Megumi didn't quite understand, he knew that it must be something important.

“I don’t understand… What is he trying to tell me? But he deliberately ran over there, which means that he must not want Kurusu to know…”

"?" Kurusu looked at Fushiguro Megumi who suddenly fell into deep thought with confusion.

"Kurisu..." Fushiguro Megumi continued to think, "No, it should be 'Angel'...ah!"

He suddenly connected the clues together and suddenly realized it.

And Xuanhao was also nodding frantically on the opposite side.

"If we want to remove the seal on Gojo Sensei, we must get the help of an angel!! But the condition for cooperation she gave us is that we must first kill a player named 'Fallen Angel', and 'Fallen Angel' is Sukuna!?"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Fushiguro Megumi's forehead.

"In other words, the angel's target is Xuan Hao!!"

"We're in big trouble again!! But the biggest problem now is Xuanhao... Why did Sukuna go out of his way to block his mouth?"

"It is certain that the angel has the ability to completely kill Sukuna, leaving no room for resurrection."

"It was Sukuna who asserted that this guy didn't have the courage to die voluntarily. Are you still looking down on Xuan Hao? Have you forgotten that this guy has already died once?"

Enough points have been accumulated.

Fushiguro is no longer in danger. Although I don't know why the seniors haven't added new rules yet, we will wait until that is completed.

"I will die in front of you." Xuan Hao thought so.

"As long as I die, more than half of the Sukuna will disappear, and Gojo-sensei will be able to be resurrected. It's a good deal."

"The problem is that Xuanhao... is likely to choose to risk his life." Fushiguro Megumi's idea is exactly the opposite of Xuanhao's. He wants to prevent this from happening.

"……strangeness."

At this moment, the soul residing in Kurusu's body spoke.

"Another alarming number of humans are invading the barrier."

"!!"

Everyone was slightly surprised when they heard this.

"You know this too?" asked Megumi Fushiguro.

"It's not me, Jin-chan!!"

"exist."

"Tell me the number of players that have increased since 10 minutes ago."

"what?"

"Ok?"

"Ow?"

"what?"

Looking at the number given by Xiao Jin, everyone was slightly stunned.

"real or fake?"

807 and counting.

···········
2018, October.

"Negative emotions such as stress can be transformed into an energy called 'curse power'. Japanese people usually release weak curse power."

"When these cursed powers come together, they give birth to 'cursed spirits'... the so-called monsters and spirits."

"People who can master the power of curses and possess what you call 'superpowers' are called 'cursors'."

As early as this time, Juansuo had already revealed the matter about the curse to senior foreign officials.

"This is basically a special phenomenon that only occurs in the Japanese. Of course, there are exceptions."

"Usually, spellcasters cannot identify it with the naked eye."

“Although it is within the wavelength range of visible light, it cannot be recognized by the human brain and cannot be captured by a camera. It is another form of light.”

"Please use."

"this is……?"

The senior executives looked at the glasses handed over and asked in confusion.

"These are glasses used by sorcerers to transform spells into objects."

"It can act as a screen. When you put it on, you can see the manifestation of cursed spirits and other cursed powers."

"how do I say this?"

"It's not just the cursed spirits that non-magicians can't see. The extraordinary phenomena caused by magicians are also difficult to observe with the naked eye." Juansuo explained while motioning for everyone to put on glasses.

The moment they put on the glasses, they immediately saw the ground full of strange broken limbs and ruins, and a bloody scene.

"!!?"

"What's this!!"

“It’s a stunt!! It’s VR using AR!! I get dizzy watching VR!” The senior executives were faced with the shocking scene and of course couldn’t believe it for a moment.

"That level of deception has already been confirmed." But some people are certain that it is true.

"Silas!!"

"Please calm down, Mr. President," Silas advised.

"..." The president once again looked through his glasses and saw the centipede-like cursed spirit that had crawled onto the table.

"This is a discussion about 'resources'," Silas said calmly, "If we miss this opportunity, we will fall behind the entire world."

He is Silas Weir, Under Secretary for Energy and Environmental Affairs at the U.S. Department of Energy.

"!!"

The next moment, as if to prove its authenticity, the centipedes on the table were reduced to ashes under the power of the silk rope.

"We have no hostility, please take a seat."

Seeing that the centipede had completely disappeared, the president and others who had stood up in fear finally dared to sit down again.

"As I said before, cursed spirits and spells cannot be seen by the naked eye, nor can they be captured by cameras. Next, please watch a video of a sorcerer who uses the puppet manipulation technique to share vision with the puppet."

"..."

“Huh… It’s like watching a movie.”

After watching the video, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“What a shame it’s not in IMAX!”

"Don't you understand yet? Mr. President..." Silas reminded.

"What!?" The president was a little confused.

"Curse power is energy." Silas' words awakened the dreamer.

"Fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, and renewable energy sources such as sunlight, wind power, and geothermal energy, all of these can be replaced by it. This is the cleanest energy in human history!!!" (End of this chapter)
