Simultaneous Transmigration: We Share a Role-Playing System

Locke, feeling extremely embarrassed for getting the time wrong, was running back as fast as he could. The figure in the shadows, covered in stitches, watched Locke's rapid pace with astonishment.

"He's run like this just because of his enhanced physique? Is this kid some kind of human Shinkansen? At this rate, he might actually make it back."

Lu Suo, who had taken over Xia Youjie's body, frowned slightly, secretly alarmed—the opponent's strength was probably far more exaggerated than he had initially estimated.

Previously, the collective strength of cursed spirits in Japan had suddenly surged, with many unheard-of legendary cursed spirits appearing one after another. He had suspected that a second Gojo Satoru had been born. However, even with the help of the Kamo family's connections, he couldn't find any clues. Instead, when he returned to prepare to design a plan to make Itadori Yuuhito "accidentally" become Sukuna's vessel, he ran into Nosaka Locke.

The sudden transformation of an ordinary person in their thirties, with a sensitive and special identity, into a powerful sorcerer was already strangely unsettling. And after several days of covert observation, Lu Suo became increasingly certain that this guy was definitely up to something, an unexpected variable completely beyond his control.

Ever since overhearing Locke's words to Itadori Yasuke yesterday, Rōsō has been extremely wary of him.

For thousands of years, he has never seen anyone who could retain the memories or even the power of their past life. Even he could only seal the ancient sorcerer's contract to ensure that the soul would not deteriorate, so that he could be resurrected in the future by borrowing the inaction of a real person.

You should know that once you are reincarnated, your soul will be cleansed, and apart from the resemblance in appearance, you will be a completely different person. But the other person was able to completely retain his memories while keeping his soul unchanged through repeated reincarnations. This is simply... terrifying.

Whenever Lu Suo recalls the warrior's silhouette, he feels extremely uneasy, with a strange sense of familiarity.

He knew that such an existence could never appear suddenly. Now that it had suddenly appeared, Lu Su could only think of one reason: twelve years ago, Fu Heishener broke the fateful connection between the Six Eyes, the Star Essence Body, and Tianyuan.

It was as if this was a counterbalance sent down by the heavens specifically to deal with this fateful anomaly, just like the balance where if a sorcerer becomes too powerful, the cursed spirit will automatically become stronger.

Such variables made Lu Suo, who was obsessed with uncertainty, both itching with excitement and ecstatic, but also making him sweat for his millennia-long plan, fearing that it might all be lost.

He had waited a full thousand years. This once-in-a-millennium opportunity might not come again after a thousand years. With the failure of the Heavenly Origin Assimilation, the Six Eyes and the Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique, plus the Soul-Changing Technique of Wuwei Transformation, there would definitely not be a better opportunity.

Modern human weapons can't harm cursed spirits yet, but what if we have to wait another thousand years? Lu Suo knew very well that he couldn't wait any longer, so he had to eliminate all uncertainties outside the plan.

With this in mind, Lu Suo, the mastermind behind the grand plan, once again observed Locke, who was suspected to be a reincarnated Buddha, by monitoring the cursed spirits, and made a decision in his heart.

The monk, dressed in a kasaya, stood up and addressed the spirit behind him:

"Hey, I've found an interesting guy. Want to come watch a show together?"

——————————————————————————————————————

The phone rang again, and Locke, who was running wildly through the primeval forest of Ozang, stopped, wiped his sweat, and answered the phone.

"Feed?"

"Dr. Locke, I called Hu Zhang and relayed your message, but he didn't want to say much, just that it was too urgent and he couldn't wait for you to arrive."

"I understand, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Locke checked the GPS to make sure he was close by. While complaining that he had caught Jintian Jinglong's bad luck, he sprinted at full speed at an inhuman pace.

Until a faint sense of crisis suddenly crept into his heart, he abruptly stopped running, looked up into the depths of the forest shrouded in night, and fixed his gaze on the standing bushes.

That malevolent aura, imbued with resentment, was undoubtedly an extremely powerful cursed spirit.

Because he awakened his spell power relatively late, he had never seen any spell spirits before, and could only compare himself to Mo Xu Luo. This spell spirit's aura was about one-tenth that of Mo Xu Luo, and it was clearly at least a level one spell spirit.

Thinking of this, Locke couldn't help but glance at his current stats.

Since everyone shares skill levels, as long as you memorize the skills through the character card itself, or learn the skills yourself, you can create skill cards to practice together and share progress.

So with the combined efforts of the four of them (Hogwarts, Pirate Locke: Are we even human?! Are we even human?!), it won't be long before their physical forms alone possess considerable combat power, but unfortunately, they are still a bit lacking compared to the character cards.

Especially in this situation, he didn't want to waste time getting entangled, and he wasn't sure if Nishikida Keiryu in his youth form (at 5%) could defeat his opponent in one hit, so he might as well just go straight for the next level.

When I get back tonight, I'll ask my buddies for some more popularity points to tide me over. Anyway, there are two guys who always enjoy life and freeload, so borrowing their popularity points is fine.

After spending all his savings to complete the upgrade, Locke transformed into Jintian Jinglong without hesitation, his sharp eyes fixed on the dark corner emanating an evil aura, and he shouted:

"From the very beginning, I sensed this evil aura. It seems you are not a cursed spirit permanently captured here. I don't know why you are here, but once I see you, I have no reason not to eliminate you."

Having no weapon at hand, Locke immediately raised his hand overhead, condensing his palm into a blade. He focused half of his spiritual power onto the blade and, without the slightest hesitation, slashed down fiercely.

The cursed spirit, shrouded in the shadow of death, no longer hid. It suddenly sprang up, bursting through the bushes, its hideous face contorted, carrying a strong and ferocious aura of cursed power, and rushed straight at Locke's face.

The next second, a blinding white light suddenly burst forth, and a white sword aura of cursed power, twenty meters long, tore through the night sky, sweeping across more than three hundred meters and splitting the entire forest in two, leaving only a long and broken ravine. Broken branches, leaves, and pebbles, carrying the aftershocks of spiritual power, were scattered on both sides of the ravine.

As for the cursed spirits, they were instantly annihilated upon contact with the spiritual sword energy, which was almost identical to positive energy.

The real person and Lu Su, who were observing from several kilometers away, were so shocked that they couldn't speak. The real person, in particular, sensed Locke's transformation the instant it happened.

The other person's soul has changed.

Locke, the instigator, glanced at the devastated forest before him and scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"I think I went a bit too far. If I had known... never mind, let's just get going."
