"Even though the 'Death Return' event has already started, is the area within the barrier still receiving power?"

A dark red cursed blood bullet shot from Xia Jie's fingertips, shattering the apartment door with a deafening crash. His gaze swept across the empty room, his brow furrowing as he carefully sensed the cursed energy before turning and leaving.

This was the third time he had come up empty-handed.

He had assumed that in the post-apocalyptic environment within the barrier, power would be supplied by means of photovoltaics and batteries, but it turned out that the homeowner had simply forgotten to turn off the lights before fleeing.

"Speaking of which, isn't this the Tokyo Barrier?"

As Xia Jie stepped out of the apartment, she bent down and gently touched the sign on the ground that read "Tokyo Nostalgic Izakaya" to confirm her location.

The remaining task is to determine which barrier this is in Tokyo.

Ideally, it would be Tokyo's First Barrier.

Not only can you witness the famous "Elephant VS House" scene live, but you can also personally experience how Hiromi Nichisha's domain will judge this cursed spirit.

When he encounters Kurusu Hana or Itadori Yuujin, he can even cosplay as Jiraiya the Information Master, and then use a God-like Binding Technique to link his own life with Itadori's self-damage, directly crippling Kiku and bringing an unexpected "surprise" to Sukuna.

If it's the second barrier in Tokyo.

He went to find Dr. Lu Ziyun, a sorcerer, and immediately shouted "Domain Expansion!" to see if he could trick Dr. Lu out of his Mixu Gelong.

The "Sitting Kill" technique of Shinji is also a must-try dessert, after all, who wouldn't want to use their black elbow on Shinji who has won the grand prize?

Once we're outside the barrier, there'll be even more fun to be had.

"Oogada" Otsuku Yuta, "I'm Full" Shiryu Ryu, "Tiger Cane Old Feng" Ryosaku, "Strong, Lonely, and Inventive" Man, as well as "Super Ancient Little Nanliang" Rimei, "The Strongest in Ancient Loans" Sukuna, "Will Win" Gojo Satoru...

He doesn't intend to let any of these people go; he'll take them down one by one for the best.

He would make up for any deficiencies in strength with constraints. Xia Jie, who was capable of rewinding time, was not at all concerned with setting some extreme constraints, not only on lifespan, potential, and future, but he would even lend his soul to the Emperor and his body to his fourth sister, Little Sheep.

Only when he plays the entire match will this trip to the end of the world truly be worth the price of admission.

Just as she was pondering this, a blinding pillar of light suddenly descended from the distant horizon, its holy white light tearing through the darkness of the night. Xia Jie's eyes lit up, and she immediately recognized the true nature of the pillar of light.

It's the Jacob's Ladder of the ancient magic angel Kurusu Hana, and I'm in Tokyo's First Barrier!

With poor visibility at night, it was difficult to find Lai Xihua in the distance, so Xia Jie decided to have Lai Xihua come to her on her own initiative.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Jie's shoes were covered in cursed blood, which lifted him into the air like a platform.

At the same time, the cursed blood rapidly condensed into a megaphone in front of him, and he shouted at the top of his lungs towards the beam of light:

"Megumi Fushiguro is in danger!!!"

Before long, a golden-haired figure with wings on its back and a halo above its head burst through the air.

Lai Xihua hovered in mid-air, her brows furrowed, her voice filled with barely suppressed anxiety: "Tell me quickly! Where is Hui? What danger has he encountered?"

Xia Jie raised her flight altitude to be level with Kurusu Hana and said calmly, "Fukuguro has been targeted by the Fallen Ones and is at risk of becoming a Fallen One's body, but I have a way to solve it."

"Fallen Heaven!?"

Upon catching the key words, a mouth quickly appeared on Lai Xihua's face: "Why should I believe you? The aura of curse on you is so strong it's practically overflowing; you're practically a cursed spirit in human skin."

"It's simple, I'll just set up some restraints."

Xia Jie's lips twitched:

"Now, I make the following bonds: First, if my statement that Fukuro Megumi was targeted by the Fallen Angel is a lie, I will die immediately. Second, if I am a bad person, I will die immediately. Third, if I am a Swimmer who has been reborn in flesh, I will die immediately. Fourth, if my plans are harmful to Fukuro Megumi, I will die immediately."

As the four resolute and uncompromising bindings were applied, the anxiety and vigilance on Lai Xihua's face instantly froze, and even the angel residing in her body fell into a rare silence.

She was well aware of the weight of these constraints; the strange man before her was practically risking his life to vouch for his stance and his words.

"What courage!" The angel within Lai Xihua no longer hesitated and chose to believe Xia Jie.

Lai Xihua's tone became even more urgent: "Where is Hui now? I need to go protect him immediately!"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

Xia Jie's tone was calm and unhurried. "Fu Hei hasn't joined the Death Return Journey yet, so the danger won't erupt so soon. Although I don't know his current location, I'm certain that in the next few days, he will voluntarily enter this barrier to save his sister who has become a Swimmer."

He paused, then revealed his true purpose:

"So I need you to do one thing. Threaten the little gold beetle to change the game rules, changing the random teleportation after entering the barrier to a targeted teleportation, with one location specifically for non-flesh-type swimmers and the other specifically for flesh-type swimmers."

This way, we can both ensure that we encounter Fukuro and temporarily separate him from the fallen angel's physical body.

"Doesn't adding a rule cost 100 game points? Will threatening the ladybug really work?"

As soon as Kurusu Hana finished speaking, a small mouth suddenly split open beside her cheek; it was the angelic will that coexisted with her.

"You're going to use my technique, aren't you?"

"As expected of someone with ancient experience, their mind is truly sharp."

Xia Jie felt a pang of emotion, but remained outwardly composed: "Just summon the little golden beetle, and leave the rest to me."

Kurushika was half-believing and half-doubting, and called out in a low voice:

"Little gold bug."

"Hi~ It's me, Golden Beetle! What can I do for you, Swimmer?"

After a soft "bang!", a white, two-winged flying insect appeared out of thin air, wriggling happily and making a lively and cute sound.

Lai Xihua didn't speak, but turned to look at Xia Jie.

Xia Jie stroked her chin and began the operation:

"Kurasu Hana, tell it that if it doesn't add two specific teleportation points to the Tokyo First Barrier that can separate ordinary swimmers from flesh-bound swimmers, then use Jacob's Ladder, which can eliminate all spell effects, to bring swimmers out of the barrier in batches and gradually destroy the Ten Barriers, so that this bloody killing game can no longer continue."

"Huh??? No, no, no! Please don't do that! I'll cry, I really will cry!"

The little golden beetle panicked instantly, its face contorted in a mournful expression as it fluttered its tiny wings and desperately tried to cover Xia Jie's mouth with its tail, its voice trembling with tears: "Oh my god! If it hasn't died and returned, wow!"

"If you don't want your journey to the end because of death, then do as I say." Xia Jie remained unmoved and continued:

"There's one more thing. Don't tell Lu Suo about what happened today. That guy has made it a rule that the game must end the cycle of death and rebirth. If you leak the news, it will only hasten the game's demise."

"Waaah... I can't do it..." The little golden beetle swayed dejectedly. "The rules state that adding a new rule requires 100 game points..."

"It's alright."

Seeing that the threat had failed, Xia Jie was not annoyed, and her tone was as calm as if she had expected this possible outcome.

It's just a zero-cost way to get something for nothing; even if it fails, he has other ways to do it.

Xia Jie reached out and touched the little golden beetle's head.

"As compensation for not breaking the game, you now take us to find the swimmer named Hiromi Higurashi, otherwise..."

Xia Jie didn't finish her sentence, but the threat was obvious, making the little golden beetle's tail tremble.

"Okay, I'll lead the way for you now."
