Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 172 Agreement
Lu Chen stared at the two and asked casually, "Is he still Geto Suguru now? Or has he become Noose?"

Nanako said with a reproachful tone, "How rude of you. Master Gou is still Master Gou. We are also on guard against that guy with the scar on his head."

The fact that she could say this to Lu Chen meant that they still considered Lu Chen a companion. After all, they had also done some missions together in the Panxing Sect.

Mimiko, who was more composed, said, "Master Geto is planning to do something, so he needs you to fulfill your promise."

This was what Lu Chen and Geto Xiayou had discussed.

So, was Geto Suguru ready to do something? What was he going to do after contacting Nozomi? My words to him should have had some effect.

So Lu Chen asked: "What is Xia Yujie going to do now?"

"We can't tell you about this. You just need to carry out Master Geto's orders."

Lu Chen spoke with some curiosity in his tone: "Since you are ready to use that favor, you have to tell me what you need me to do. I can't be the one who doesn't even know what to do, right?"

It seems that what Geto Suguru is going to do is very confidential.

Mimiko explained, "Help Master Geto hold Gojo Satoru back for a while. Now that you have the black rope, you should be able to do it. To be more specific, you have to hold him back for at least an hour. Once you've done this, you'll have repaid the favor you owe Master Geto."

After hearing this condition, Lu Chen smiled first, and then spoke solemnly.

"Actually, the previous promise doesn't mean anything to me, so don't try to use this to bind me. I'm not the type to fulfill my promise regardless of the circumstances. Stopping Gojo Satoru for an hour under these circumstances will inevitably lead to extremely dire consequences."

Nanako was angry, but Master Geto taught Lu Chen a lot of knowledge.

So he said with a tone full of dissatisfaction: "So you are not going to fulfill your promise?"

"Then tell me exactly when you did this. I need to make my own judgment before deciding whether to help Geto Suguru."

Lu Chen decided to get some information from them first.

"We don't know. Master Geto Suguru didn't tell us when you started to act."

Lu Chen felt a little confused. He was not told when to act and what to do.

So he asked in an amused tone, "So I can stop Gojo Satoru anytime I want? Then I decided to stop Gojo Satoru for an hour one year from now."

Nanako explained dissatisfiedly: "Master Geto will give us information before taking action, and then we will tell you the news. We will stay in Tokyo during this time."

Mimiko added, "And Master Geto has told us to follow your instructions during this time."

Nanako pulled her sister and was very dissatisfied with her for telling Lu Chen about this matter.

She didn't want to obey Lu Chen's orders at all. She was originally going to help Lord Geto Suguru to achieve great things.

"We must complete all of Master Geto's orders, even if you don't want to."

"Hmph, following the orders of this traitor will do nothing for Master Geto Suguru's cause."

Lu Chen ignored the twins' bickering and said thoughtfully, "Why would he just contact me directly? Why would he need you to pass messages to me? Just give me a new phone." However, Lu Chen concluded that this was Xia Yujie trying to find a way for his adopted daughters to survive. He knew that what he was doing would inevitably fail. So, had he sent his adopted daughters away from him in advance?

Since he had already realized that his plan would fail, why did he go to Nozomi? Could it be that he wanted to go undercover for Gojo Satoru and sent his adopted daughters out?

Lu Chen certainly could not have imagined that Geto Suguru was being carried away by his own subordinates' ideals. People who are carried away by ideals cannot leave this path.

This is also why Nozomi would include Geto Suguru in his own forces. He knew that Geto Suguru was on this path and there was no turning back. People with flaws in their humanity are the best tools to use.

Nanako pointed out the loophole in Lu Chen's words and said, "If you destroy the phone again, it will affect Master Geto's plan."

"If I don't want to do this, it won't help even if you two are here."

Nanako asked in disbelief, "Are you really going to betray our ideals? I thought we were friends."

"When did I ever agree with your ideals? I believed from the beginning that your ideals were wrong."

"Master Geto Suguru anticipated that you might not be willing to do this, so he gave us the cursed tool, the Bankai Lock. As long as you stop Gojo Satoru, we will hand it over to you."

"Why don't I just rob you two?"

Mimiko was not at all panicked by Lu Chen's words, but said calmly:

"Master Geto Suguru knows you're not that kind of person. You wouldn't rob your former companions, even if we were carrying the cursed tools you covet. And although you don't care about our ideals, you don't care about ordinary people either. You don't care about those who are not your compatriots at all. All you have is a condescending pity."

"It sounds like he knows me well?"

Mimiko continued, "Master Geto Suguru even said that you and Gojo Satoru are actually the same type of people, both so high and mighty. There's very little human entanglement between the two of you. You two are like the representatives of God on earth."

As a tall and handsome man, Lu Chen should be able to attract girls like Gemini, but they have never had such thoughts about Lu Chen.

Because there is not much humanity left in Lu Chen, he is the one who is actually approaching the monster.

He walked steadfastly on his own path, and began to discard things that were no longer useful.

Generally speaking, people fear and trust God, but they do not love God.

"Master Geto Suguru asked me to ask you, what made you give up the things that made you human?"

Lu Chen fell into silence and began to think hard.

When did I become obsessed with the idea of becoming stronger? Have I truly discarded all the things that belonged to me as a human being?

Was it after the conversation with the Major? Or was it during his pursuit of martial arts in Baki, or even before that in that saint's church?

Or maybe you had already lost something when you got up from the SBR competition venue.

Do people have to abandon useless things in order to move forward?
