Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 253: Return of Gojo Satoru
"What are you saying? I can't stand it anyway. This is a fucking provocation! We worked so hard to kill the cursed spirits, only to be labeled terrorists and then made a high priest at the Yasukuni Shrine. Now they're worshipping Ryoumen Sukuna as a god! Damn it! How shameless!"

Liu Qiang's face looked ferocious, flames emanated from her tiny pores, and her whole body was filled with anger.

"Provocation? Clearly, it is. It's true that the saying 'When God wishes to destroy a man, he must first drive him mad' is true. Cursed energy has been targeted by countries led by the United States, and Japan has become a stepping stone. Using the power of Ryomen Sukuna to provoke and demonstrate to the world is a bit crazy, but it's just the right amount of crazy."

Xiao Honglu grabbed his hair, one strand at a time, and placed it on the coffee table in front of him. Unlike Liu Qiang who was angry, his expression was very calm.

Because Xiao Honglu also noticed it.

Following the thread from the beginning of the horror film to the present, the development of events seems to have been driven by a big hand throughout.

Therefore, no matter how the situation develops, it will not be out of the control of certain people.

Zheng Zha scratched his head and said irritably, "No matter what their purpose is, we can put down the barrier here for now and return to Tokyo."

They originally wanted to wait and see, looking for an opportunity to catch the noose, but they didn't expect to be stabbed in the back. In this situation, who would still care about the noose?

Everyone nodded silently, affirming Zheng Zha's decision.

Not only Liu Qiang, they were also very angry.

"What the hell is going on? I've only been gone for less than a week!"

At the same time, on the streets of Tokyo, a handsome young man with white hair looked up at the news playing on the screen in a loop, with a strange expression on his face.

"Gojo-sensei, what should we do?"

The thin boy stood next to the young man, looking confused and a little angry.

"Ryomen Sukuna has become a great god, and the government still wants to hold a grand festival in a place like that? Have the people in power in this country become evil spirits?"

These two people are Gojo Satoru and Otsutsuki Yuta.

After Gojo Satoru was defeated by Ryomen Sukuna, he fled all the way out of Japan and found Otsutsuki Yuta who was on a business trip abroad.

During this period, although he was resting abroad, he was also paying attention to what was happening in the country.

Originally, Gojo Satoru planned to find the black rope first and then return to Japan. At that time, he would hold back Ryomen Sukuna, and let Otsutsuki Yuta defeat Nozomi, snatch away Yumon Kyo, and release Wen Lie.

Who knew that first the 19-nation coalition forces were about to enter Japan, and then the Prime Minister would worship Ryomen Sukuna as a great god and prepare to hold a grand ceremony at the Yasukuni Shrine.

After these major events, although Gojo Satoru did not find the black rope that could break all spells, he had no choice but to return to the country with Otsutsuki Yuta, preparing to gather strength and defeat Ryomen Sukuna before the grand festival.

Gojo Satoru took off his sunglasses, revealing his eyes. The left pupil was still the blue of the sky, but the right pupil, although still blue, had no luster, as if he had gone blind.

Staring at the righteous Prime Minister on the screen, Gojo Satoru said noncommittally, "Although the old men in the upper echelons are all disgusting rotten oranges, I never thought their character would be worse than that of the upper echelons of the secular government."

Otsutsuki Yuta looked at Gojo Satoru in confusion: "What?"

Gojo Satoru scoffed, "Compared to the government, the rotten oranges in the General Administration are nothing. Let's go back to the high school first."

Before he finished speaking, Gojo Satoru placed his hand on Yuta Otsutsuka's shoulder.

Along with the strong wind rising from the ground, the two people disappeared at the same time, leaving only a surging air wave spreading into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

A few seconds later, Gojo Satoru and Otsutsuki Yuta appeared at Tokyo Jujutsu High School. They were standing only a few steps away from the principal's office.

Gojo Satoru walked forward, pushed open the door of the principal's office, and walked in without any courtesy.

"Nightmoth, I'm back."

In the dark principal's office, Ye Moth Zhengdao sat on the floor at the deepest part, holding a needle and thread, sewing the cloth for the body of the Curse Corpse.

Hearing Gojo Satoru's voice, Yaga Masamichi said calmly, "Too slow, Satoru."

Gojo Satoru looked at Yaga Masamichi and was silent for a few seconds before asking, "...It's pretty soon. Where are Yaga, Yuhito, and Kei?"

Ye Moth Zhengdao said calmly, "Don't try to trick me, Wu. I didn't expect you to come back so suddenly."

"…What are you?"

Gojo Satoru's expression gradually darkened.

Yuta Otsutsuki, who was following behind, felt the oppressive aura from Gojo Satoru and couldn't help but panic.

"Teacher Gojo..."

Before he finished speaking, Gojo Satoru raised his right hand and blocked Yuta Otsutsukota's way, but his left eye was fixed on Masamichi Yaga.

"Even ordinary people have a little bit of cursed energy on them, but you don't have even a trace of it. You're not a sorcerer, you're not a human, you're not a cursed corpse, so what are you? Where's the moth?"

Gojo Satoru's right eye, although regenerated using the reversal technique, had lost its pupil power and was no different from an ordinary eye.

However, his left eye still retained the power of the Six Eyes.

He saw clearly that the counterfeit in front of him had no cursed power at all, and was even faker than Jie's counterfeit.

Upon hearing this, Yuta Okkotsu's expression changed. He gripped the hilt of the knife and looked at Masamichi Yega warily.

Ye Moth Zhengdao said calmly, "If you had returned to the Polytechnic Institute that afternoon, perhaps none of this would have happened. But you came back too late. Coming back now means nothing can be changed."

Gojo Satoru's face was full of resistance: "Run away? That would be too embarrassing, I don't want to."

Ye Moth was threading the needle, saying without looking up, "It's not because of shame. Even if you only have one eye left, you're still no match for Noso. If you go back to the technical high school, Ryoumen Sukuna will come with Noso."

Gojo Satoru said coldly, "Don't talk to me with that moth face and tone."

Ye Moth Zhengdao asked back: "Do you think I'm pretending?"

"...No, apart from the cursed power, you are no different from Noctua. A doppelganger? Tsk! What a troublesome technique! I should have given Gon's body to Nozomi."

In Gojo Satoru's opinion, Yoga Masamichi was created by Nozomi using the curse spirit manipulation technique, capturing a curse spirit related to the doppelganger, and using the curse spirit's technique.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be that similar.

If Ryoumen Sukuna had taken his left eye, he would never have been able to tell the real Yoga from the fake. Not wanting to waste time on the imposter, Gojo Satoru raised his arm, and the cursed energy gathered from his fingertips radiated out, blasting Yoga's body into a rainbow of colors.

"Is it a painting technique?" Yuta Otsutsukota subconsciously analyzed the formation principle of the Yoga Masamichi, then frowned, and had an ominous guess in his heart, "Gojo-sensei, even Principal Yoga has become like this, the others..."

"The mastermind behind this can't just deal with Noctua. Let's go."

Gojo Satoru strode out of the principal's office. He closed his right eye and observed the surrounding environment with the perspective of his left eye.

When using a spell, it will leave traces, which are called residues. However, the residues are thinner than the traces of cursed spirits, so you have to look closely to identify them.

However, Rokugan is strong in this area.

Gojo Satoru looked around, and all kinds of filth were clearly visible in his eyes.

These residues were left behind a few days ago and are now so thin that normal sorcerers cannot recognize them no matter how hard they try. Only Gojo Satoru can identify the source of these residues.

After inspecting the high school, Gojo Satoru left and walked towards the city, following the traces where Meimei, Fushiguro Megumi and others had exorcised the cursed spirits. More than half an hour later, Gojo Satoru and Otsutsukoshi Yuta arrived at the place where Wen Lie defeated Kujuku Yuki and others.

"The filth of the dark, the filth of Nanami, the filth of Nobara, the filth of Thorn, the filth of Kusakabe... the filth of Kujukuyuki!"

Gojo Satoru's eyes gradually became solemn, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. Through observing Canhui, a guess emerged in his mind.

"Kujuku Yuki, the first special-grade sorcerer? She's back too? And she's taking part in the battle here?"

Yuta Otsutsukoshi looked at his surroundings in surprise and suspicion.

"This is so strange, Mr. Gojo, have you noticed that there is something wrong here?"

Yuta Otsutsuki did not have six eyes, he just used his naked eyes to observe the surrounding roads and buildings, and that was all, but he discovered many clues.

Gojo Satoru asked, "What did you find?"

"The battle ended very quickly. The seniors and juniors only made one or two moves before they were defeated."

Yuta Otsutsuki squatted down, touched the solidified ground, walked to the edge and picked up a few broken stones.

"Nanami-senpai used a technique to destroy the ground, affecting the enemy's balance, but the enemy's powerful force crushed the broken ground into a solid mass..." As he spoke, Otsutsukota followed the blood-stained ground and headed towards the direction where Nanami Kento had been thrown a few days ago. Two footprints appeared before his eyes. "Someone caught him, but couldn't withstand the force and was knocked away..."

Yuta Otsutsuki investigated the streets for traces of battle, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

There are actually very few traces of the battle left, which just shows that the battle ended very quickly.

"Then, Senior Ninety-Nine arrived. She used her immense strength to drive the enemy back, but... I'm afraid she was badly defeated. Apart from those two opposing footprints, there aren't many signs of a fight. In other words, she quickly fell into a disadvantage and was forced to deploy her domain, where she was defeated."

Gojo Satoru nodded approvingly. "That's right. Everyone's filth appeared in a fixed location. And, there's one thing you didn't notice: there were only the filth of Yuki Kujuku and his group. There weren't any unfamiliar filth."

Otsutsukota asked in surprise, "There's no such thing as a strange Zhahui. Is the enemy someone Gojo-sensei knows?"

"Although you misunderstood, the conclusion is correct...Wen Lie!"

Gojo Satoru suddenly turned around and shouted to the man standing in the distance, "You're the ones who defeated Kujuu Yuki and the others and then created a bunch of counterfeits, right?"

"Gojo Satoru, you are indeed a smart man."

Wen Lie walked down the street, his figure flashing. He was still a hundred meters away when he spoke. Before he finished saying a name, he appeared in front of Gojo Satoru.

"Urika!"

Yuta Okkotsu's pupils shrank, and a ferocious monster appeared behind him. His tense body entered combat state in an instant.

Otsutsukota asked in shock, "Gojo-sensei, he is... he is Wen Lie? The Wen Lie who needs to be rescued and become our companion in our plan?"

Yuta Otsutsuki no longer understood what had happened and why the sealed sorcerer suddenly became the mastermind behind the incident.

Gojo Satoru said calmly, "That's him."

Wen Lie asked curiously, "How did you find out?"

Gojo Satoru asked, "Is this a question?"

Wen Lie nodded. He had rushed back from the United States exhausted. As soon as he met Gojo Satoru, Gojo Satoru pointed out the identity of the mastermind. Naturally, he wanted to know how Gojo Satoru discovered it.

Gojo Satoru said, "If I answer, I also hope you can answer a question for me."

Wen Lie nodded again.

Gojo Satoru said bluntly, "First, I believe my own eyes. Aside from Kujuku Yuki and his men, there are no enemy remnants here. Second, besides Ryoumen Sukuna and me, there's only one other person capable of defeating Kujuku Yuki and his men in such a short time. Third, your sealing was too easy. If sealing were that simple, I would have been sealed by the noose long ago. Fourth, all of this happened after your Nakasu team arrived in Japan. Since the 19th, it's as if an invisible hand has been controlling everything. I don't think it's all coincidence. Is that enough?"

"For you, this is enough. I underestimated you. Okay, Gojo Satoru, what do you want to ask?"

Wen Lie thought for a moment and nodded.

He quickly reviewed the situation in a few seconds and realized from the experiences of the past few days that the behavior of the Zhongzhou team from the time they entered the horror movie until now was indeed a bit deliberate.

Gojo Satoru stared at Wen Lie and asked in a deep voice, "Is Ye Moth still alive? Yujin, Hui, Nanami...are they all still alive?"

Wen Lie said calmly: "Of course, I have no reason to kill them, and killing them will not bring me any benefits."

Gojo Satoru immediately breathed a sigh of relief. For him, just knowing that Ye Moth and the others were still alive was enough.

He failed to save many people, but at least he didn't want his teachers, classmates, younger students, and older students to fail to be saved.

Gojo Satoru asked casually, "Wen Lie, how do you want to deal with me now?"

Wen Lie said, "I have no interest in killing you, nor in fighting you. I've severely suppressed your abilities, and you've even lost one of your six eyes. No matter how many times we fight, I'll still win. I just hope you won't interfere with my plans with Nozomi."

Gojo Satoru asked, "Of course I can choose not to interfere with you, but what benefits can I gain from it?"

Wen Lie laid out his bargaining chips: "I will not harm Ye Mo Zheng Dao and the others, and I will release them all after everything is settled."

Gojo Satoru had nothing to say. He had no room for bargaining regarding the chips offered by Wen Lie.
