Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

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:

"Fushiguro Megumi 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, his brows furrowed, his 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, "Fu Hei 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!?"

Upon catching the key words, Lai Xihua's face quickly contorted into a mouth: "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: If my statement that Fukuro Megumi was targeted by the Fallen Angel is a lie, I will die immediately. Bond two: If I am a bad person, I will die immediately. Bond three: If I am a Swimmer who has been reborn in flesh, I will die immediately. Bond four: If my plan is 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 can be sure that in the next few days, he will definitely take the initiative to enter this barrier in order 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? Is threatening the ladybug really effective?"

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, right?"

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

Xia Jie sighed inwardly, but remained outwardly calm: "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~ I'm 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 with grief as it flapped its tiny wings and desperately tried to cover Xia Jie's mouth with its tail, its voice trembling with tears: "Oh no! If it doesn't die and return, wakashi!"

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

"There's one more thing. Don't tell anyone about what happened today, not even to the Qiang people. Don't let them know!"

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

Chapter 4: Waiting for a good day and a favorable opportunity, waiting for a tiger to pounce.

During their journey, the angelic face on Qihua's cheek spoke with curiosity.

"Didn't you say you were going to wait for Fu Hei? Why are you going to find Ri Che Kuanjian now? Do you want to use his 100 points to add that teleportation rule?"

Xia Jie didn't stop walking and casually replied.

"No, that would be too wasteful. I have other uses for the points from the Japanese car. As for Fukuro Megumi, I have my own way of finding her."

Halfway through her sentence, Xia Jie suddenly raised an eyebrow, realizing that something was wrong.

"Huh? Wait, do you know how many points a car has?"

"Oh right, it's a new rule that Lu Ziyun added."

Before the angel could answer, Xia Jie already knew the reason.

but……

Based on his recollection of the plot, the day after Kuro added the rules was the day when Fushiguro and Itadori entered the Tokyo First Barrier.

No, that's not all.

The massacre of the Zen family, the four-in-one attack by Etogaku Sendai, the beating of Hiromi by Hojo, the elephant versus the house, and the beating of Shionichi by Kenji—all these events happened on the same day!

"Lai Qihua, Lu Ziyun's new rule was added yesterday, right?"

"Yes, is there a problem with that?"

Kurosaki looked puzzled, not understanding why Xia Jie would ask about such common knowledge that any swimmer would know.

"The plan has changed!" Xia Jie said seriously.

"It's early morning now, and Fushiguro Megumi will most likely enter the barrier during the day today."

"Wait, how did you connect the times when Lu Ziyun and Hui entered the barrier? Also, although you seem to know me very well, I still don't know your name?"

Lai Xihua realized that she couldn't understand this man's bizarre thought process at all, so she simply gave up thinking and asked him directly.

"Oh, didn't I introduce myself before?"

No, absolutely not.

"Uh... my name is Xia Jie. I know a lot of things. I'm known in the martial arts world as 'the one who comes with intelligence'."

"Jiraiya is a character from Naruto, right? Does he have any special meaning?"

"It means being very good at gathering intelligence."

……

"We've arrived." At the entrance of the large shopping mall, Xia Jie grabbed the little golden beetle's tail and stopped in her tracks.

At this moment, Hiromi Hitsugaya should be fast asleep in a screening room inside the mall.

"This is where Hiromi Nichisha is located. I will wait here for the arrival of the Fallen Angel's container. I have a way to reinforce the container and prevent the Fallen Angel from breaking free of its seal."

After explaining her own task, Xia Jie then gave instructions to Qi Hua.

"As for you, Qi Hua, you need to continue threatening the little golden beetle to lead you to the location of an ancient sorcerer named Reggie Star, then hide yourself well, don't be discovered, and don't interfere with Reggie and his group's actions."

"Especially the angels, don't rush to act just because Reggie is a being reborn from flesh. Please be patient and wait for Fuhei Hui to appear. At that time, you can use your Jacob's Ladder to purify Reggie."

“Then, you need to bring Fukuro and the strange sorcerer named Takahashi Hirohiko who will appear later, and come here to meet me.” Xia Jie pointed to the ground.

"Finally, remember to give the note with the binding instructions to Fushiguro Megumi. If this binding is successful, the risk of Fallen Angel going out of control will be further reduced."

"In short, let's not delve into the source of this almost precognitive intelligence for now. I will establish a restraint..."

Xia Jie's will began to resonate with the power of the spell, and she uttered a vow and oath witnessed by the world: "If any information I give is even slightly false, I will die immediately."

While setting these constraints, Xia Jie was actually quite conflicted inside.

His initial idea was simple: to enjoy the fighting.

If he chooses to remain silent and not interfere excessively with the development of the plot, and just waits until December 24th, he can deliver a powerful elbow strike to Sukuna in the final battle in Shinjuku.

Although he doesn't yet know how to expand his domain, he still knows quite a bit about the divine being's last words.

But after meeting the angel Lai Xihua, his plans changed slightly: instead of enjoying the thrill of combat, he now wanted to be a mysterious intelligence officer, trying to use information to his advantage and achieve a one-life victory, getting the "dumpling-making"—or rather, "sushi-making"—good ending. Then, using sparring as an excuse to elbow Lao Wu, Lao Lu, Lao Gu, and the unexpectedly powerful Shi Liulong would also be a great experience.

Su Nu could have saved his elbow strike for after he had already used it.

After all, Xia Jie still harbored considerable obsession with the "becoming a top-tier expert to elbow the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries" that she had casually mentioned before transmigrating, and the "becoming a great supernatural being to fight Su Nuo" that she hadn't chosen.

"You're really quite mysterious, aren't you? Your birth technique isn't some kind of prophecy, is it?"

After hearing Xia Jie's arrangement, Lai Xihua couldn't help but complain.

"I just want to see Megumi as soon as possible." Kurusu Hana herself seemed indifferent; for her, nothing was more important than helping Megumi.

"A prophecy? It's probably pretty accurate. Anyway, it's enough that I'm a good person, isn't it? As Jiraiya the informant, I'll use this information to avoid the worst possible outcome."

Waving goodbye to Laixi Hua, Xia Jie didn't go into the mall to disturb Hikari Hiromi, who was probably sleeping soundly. Instead, she took out paper and pen that she had picked up from a shop on the street.

With a flick of his fingers, he wrote a line of bold, eye-catching red characters in Japanese.

He had already figured out the binding content that could remedy the fatal flaw in Qikuo.

After all, Sukuna's purpose in establishing the bond of "Kikko" was to ensure that the agreement that "Kikko cannot harm others during the period of Kikko" did not include Kikko's own self-harm.

Sukuna intended to take advantage of this, pluck out the finger that was the object of the curse and carried her own soul and curse power, and stuff it into Fushiguro Megumi's mouth to complete the possession of the "person who does not eat pressure".

Xia Jie's idea was very simple.

Once he makes Itajō realize the equation "harming oneself is harming others," then Kikō, which Sukuna considers his trump card for turning the tide, will essentially be rendered useless.

Your Uncle Xia will immediately place a Thunderous Binding in front of Tiger Rod the moment we meet:
