Abnormal Moon

Hua Yu clenched his fists, speechless.

If Xia Youjie were here, he would at least outwardly claim that he already had clues about the real person's location, and that stabilizing things with Xingji was the top priority. For a thousand-year-old demon, lying about this would be nothing.

But Hua Yu couldn't do it.

She is too honest and unwilling to do things against her conscience.

She considers herself a messenger of nature, and her purity of character makes her reject lying and loathe such dishonesty, which makes her feel as disgusting as those despicable people who say one thing and do another.

"This cursed spirit is actually so honest? Compared to a real person, it's practically a saint."

Looking at the silent Hanamichi, even though he was about to become her enemy, Jikimaru couldn't help but admire Hanamichi's character.

Unfortunately, they could only become enemies in the end!

Therefore, he won't be soft-hearted at all!

"I'll be frank, I no longer trust you."

The mechanical ball's sound was like a fire alarm, carrying a strong sense of danger, causing Hanami's expression to change on the spot.

"Besides, I no longer need real people. I have found other ways to heal myself, and I no longer need to cooperate with you or provide you with information!"

To date, in order to heal its own body, Mechanical Maru has provided the real people with a lot of information.

Using mechanical puppets as small as flies, and with the added power of his vast magical range granted by the Heavenly Curse, he could send these puppets throughout Japan to monitor all the sorcerers there!

It was precisely because of this terrifying surveillance ability that he gained the favor of Xia Youjie and Zhenren.

However, the information he provided led to countless sorcerers being targeted and many encountering unexpected dangers because of him.

Kokichi is not a cold-blooded or heartless person.

He simply cares more about himself than others, and more about the people around him than strangers.

Knowing that other sorcerers were in danger because of him, it was impossible for him to remain unmoved.

Call it hypocrisy or pretense, he accepted it all, because he did indeed do those things.

"Wait a minute, your body should only be healed by a real person; no one else should be able to help—"

"From today onwards, I no longer need to do business with you!"

Ignoring Hanami's attempts to comfort him, Mechanical Maru suddenly jumped backward.

The puppet's mouth suddenly opened, and a slender cannon muzzle emerged from it.

"Great Exorcism Cannon!"

The cannon's muzzle gathered magical power, bursting forth like a burst of light, and blasted towards Hua Yu head-on!

Hua Yu slapped the Curse Cannon to pieces.

But taking advantage of this moment, the mechanical ball had already run into the forest.

"Stop! Yukichi, you might have been scammed—"

Hanami immediately chased after the mechanical ball.

At the same time, she called out anxiously, trying to persuade Mechanical Maru to stay.

Kokichi's intelligence capabilities are extremely important to them and absolutely cannot be compromised!

Moreover, apart from a real person born from humanity's fear of humanity, who possesses the ability to freely alter the shape of another's soul, how could there possibly be anyone in this world who can heal the heavens and the curse!

Throughout history, countless times, no healing techniques have ever appeared. Even if someone's reversal technique is powerful enough to heal others, such as the highly skilled Ieiri Shoko, the limit is to reattach a severed arm. She can't even save someone who has been cut in half at the waist, and she is completely helpless against the heavens and curses!

Hanami chased after the mechanical ball, running deeper into the forest.

Ahead lies Tianyuan's barrier, which can sense cursed power and prevent cursed spirits from entering. However, Hua Yu is a spirit-like cursed spirit, capable of sneaking into the barrier without alerting anyone.

But at this moment—

"Yo!"

A figure suddenly rushed in from afar as if teleporting.

He placed a palm on Hua Yu's chest.

"We meet again!"

Hua Yu felt a blur before her eyes and saw a white-haired, red-eyed boy appear before her. Instantly, she felt a chill run down her spine, and a cold sensation rose from the soles of her feet to her temples.

She immediately stopped and tried to back away.

"You still have so much energy, it makes me so happy!"

The white-haired boy's face was full of a happy smile.

At the same time, he released a burst of energy from his right palm, which was pressed against Hua Yu's chest.

Despite the small space between them, Hua Yu suddenly felt a violent force emanating from that palm.

She was as if she had been hit by a speeding train; her body flew backward uncontrollably like a cannonball, her vision blurred, the wind howled in her ears, and before she knew it, she had crashed into a large grove of trees, sliding a long distance on the ground before coming to a stop.

Amidst the billowing smoke that rose up.

Hua Yu felt a violent surge of energy throughout his body, and his body trembled in waves, as if the nerves controlling his body had been paralyzed by the palm strike.

She immediately circulated her magical power within her body to suppress the numbness.

Why is that guy here?

This question filled her mind for a moment.

She hasn't infiltrated the barrier yet.

Even if she managed to infiltrate the barrier, given her nature, she wouldn't alert anyone!

Could it be that this guy knew about this beforehand that he was able to show up here?

"Mechanical Maru, you can go back now. You can choose to continue participating in the team battle or turn yourself in."

From the other side of the thick smoke came the man's calm and unhurried voice.

It was as if he had already completely won her over.

"I'm going to turn myself in."

The machine-made ball gave this answer, then bypassed the forest where a group battle was taking place and headed towards the high school building.

"...Did that human betray us?"

Hanako stood up from the ground, her heart filled with anger at being deceived.

"Did you deliberately lure me here to kill me at the foot of the mountain?"

She came with a mission.

Very well prepared.

I thought this time I would definitely succeed, not only to bring out Sukuna's finger, but also to rescue the real person.

As it turned out, the plan collapsed halfway through, which was truly unexpected.

They didn't even have a chance to launch it!

He was filled with anger, but had no way to vent it.

"After all, an exchange meeting is being held on the mountain right now."

“My students are giving it their all to win this game, to prove their hard work over the past two months, to enhance their own value, and they’re even looking to show off to me!”

Roy emerged from the thick smoke, a wild smile on his face.

"How could such a wonderful event be disrupted by your unreasonable behavior?"

No extra chapters today, still three chapters owed.

Chapter 364 Pochi-chan VS. Lepi (82k)

"Was I tricked...?"

Hua Yu gritted her teeth, a hint of resentment appearing on her otherwise unreadable wooden face.

"I see. That was to be expected. It seems I let my guard down because I always had the upper hand... But at least there's some good news. The person that Mechanical Maru mentioned earlier, the one who can help him heal, is you, right?"

What if I said yes?

"That means the real person is indeed in your hands and not dead! What method did you use to control him? Am I right?"

"snort……?"

Upon hearing this, Roy tilted his head in confusion, momentarily failing to grasp the logic behind her words.

Then it dawned on him.

"Ah, I see. You thought I manipulated a real person and used his abilities to heal Kokichi? Hmph, well, if that's what you think, there's nothing I can do. Do as you please."

"However, the real person is indeed in my hands, and he is not dead yet. You can try your best to defeat me and rescue him by exerting 1000% of your strength, okay?"

Roy smiled calmly.

That smile was full of contempt for Hua Yu's strength.
