"I would trade the loss of all physical power after being fused with flesh... for a significant increase in the soul's ability to resist while in a fused state?"
Gan Jinglin took the note and read its contents aloud in confusion. He couldn't understand the seemingly nonsensical text, and as a self-taught sorcerer, he didn't even know what binding was.
"Excuse me, what is restraint?"
He asked Xia Jie somewhat nervously.
"A sorcerer makes a contract with himself, others, or the world through sorcery and words. It is an equivalent exchange of cost and benefit. You can refer to the 'Oath and Constraint' in Hunter x Hunter to understand it."
Even if the contract with oneself is violated, one will only lose the benefits without paying any additional price.
However, if a contract is made with others and the world, violating it will result in unknown and terrifying punishments, such as dying on the spot from vomiting blood.
A bond can only be established if the person agrees voluntarily, so I will not force you to sign the bond on the note.
However, similarly, if you are easily possessed by the entity within Itadori because you didn't establish this bondage, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand.
"I sacrificed myself by having flesh... in exchange for... a significant enhancement. Is that enough?"
Because there were no clauses in the bondage agreement that would harm him, Rin Akai signed the bondage agreement without hesitation.
After completing the orders of the mysterious powerful figure who called himself Xia Jie, Gan Jinglin hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask further questions:
"Itadori is currently fighting a powerful swimmer named Hiromi Higurashi. If something happens to Itadori, will something lurking within him come out?"
"I'll answer you in the simplest, most direct, and most straightforward way—it's entirely possible."
Xia Jie replied, mimicking Doubao's tone.
"Huh!? What do we do now?"
Rin Akai's pupils dilated in shock upon hearing this.
"Don't worry, because Itari he—"
"We will win!!!"
This is a victory declaration from the Intelligence Immortal!
According to Xia Jie's understanding,
Although this battle was not a victory in the conventional sense, it was about using personal charisma to help Japanese cars return to their original purpose.
But this is undoubtedly a victory, even a victory of a higher level than defeating a force.
As the two were talking, the sounds of fighting in the mall had stopped at some point, and then...
A little golden beetle appeared beside Rin Akai, letting out a cheerful chirp:
"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~!"
"A swimmer added a new rule to save the dead from swimming back to shore."
"General Rule 10: A swimmer may transfer any points to another swimmer!"
Xia Jie pointed her index finger at the little golden beetle and said sarcastically, "See? I told you Huzhang would win. If you don't believe me, you can check the score of Nichiche Kuanjian."
"I completely trust you, Lord Xia Jie."
Gan Jinglin dared not question Xia Jie's judgment.
"It's boring." Xia Jie looked at Gan Jinglin, who was bowing and scraping to her, and curled her lips in boredom.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Jie caught a glimpse of a sacred golden light shining in the distance.
As Xia Jie turned her head, a huge beam of light came into view, then quickly shrank and disappeared.
A few seconds after the colossal pillar of light created by Jacob's Ladder disappeared, a tremendous roar finally broke the silence.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
Hearing the rumbling sound, Xia Jie's expression turned joyful: "It seems things are going well with the angels too, but... who's going to make up for the elephant and house I'm missing?"
Before Xia Jie could continue her lament, the young Tiger Emperor, wearing a battle-damaged version of his college uniform with a missing left sleeve, and former lawyer Hiromi Ryoma, soaked from taking a bath in his clothes, walked out of the mall one after the other.
Xia Jie waved her right hand and greeted Hu Zhang in a familiar manner.
"Hello, Itadori Yuujin, my name is Natsuki. I have some important information about the high school to tell you, but before that, please take a look at this..." Natsuki handed over a piece of paper with red writing on it, and after Itadori took it, he quickly retreated twenty meters away.
"Huh? Okay, let me see." Huzhang unfolded the paper and began to read the text:
Yuujin Itadori, this is a bond I, with my life, established at the cost of my precognitive abilities. Before Sukuna is completely purified, if you or your body intentionally harms yourself, I will not hesitate to harm the same body part; if you violate this, I will die immediately.
"Cheer!" Almost the instant the paper was fully unfolded, Sukuna's mouth appeared on Itajō's cheek.
Haddō's movements froze instantly, an ominous black mark appearing on his face, before he tore the paper to shreds.
"Oh no, we're doomed."
When Xia Jie designed the note tactic, she actually considered its loopholes, namely that it takes time to read the text and understand its meaning. If Su Nuo's reading speed is fast enough, he might have a chance to catch Itajiro in the pre-emptive moment of understanding the text.
And now, this is one of the worst possible outcomes: Sukuna has chosen to make a last-ditch effort before Itadori establishes the damage equation.
The next instant, Su Nuo's figure disappeared from the spot, and Ri Che, who could prevent violence through his domain, was knocked unconscious by a hand chop.
Immediately, under the horrified gaze of Akai Rin,
Xia Jie felt her mouth being forcibly pried open, unable to close it, and then she received a heavy blow to her neck, while Su Nuo's mocking voice rang in her ears.
"Not bad, kid. Your binding technique was aimed at my Qikuo, wasn't it? I didn't expect such a shameless spell to exist. But it'll be mine soon!"
I'm willing to completely lose both arms, my eyes, and my mouth, and to have my strength reduced to one percent by the first month of next year, in order to minimize the difficulty of cutting my fingers.
Su Nuo concentrated his power into the little finger of Itachi's left hand, then used his right hand to tear off the little finger that had been transformed into a cursed object and stuff it into Xia Jie's throat.
"Once I possess your body and kill Itachi, I can break free from your shackles. I will make good use of your memories and spells." Sukuna triumphantly declared his victory.
'Plan works! How could I not have considered this scenario? You've been tricked, Sukuna!'
Xia Jie, pretending to faint, tried hard to keep her smile. "Let's open the champagne in 10 seconds, no, 3 seconds."
When Xia Jie indirectly felt the finger-shaped object slide into her throat through the cursed blood, she could no longer suppress her laughter and burst into wild laughter.
"Hmph~ Hmph~ Hahahahahahaha! I knew it could be done, absolutely could be done, it was so easy!"
Meanwhile, on the other hand, on the other hand:
'Again, and again! And again!!!'
'Another innocent person has died because of me!'
The black lines on Itachi's face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth, which had been turned up, drooped down again.
His expression shifted from regret to sorrow, then from sorrow to collapse, and finally erupted into a furious roar:
"Give Mr. Xia Jie his body back!"
Xia Jie stopped smiling, her somewhat cloudy eyes looking at Hu Zhang, and said with a relaxed smile:
"Don't rush, Itachi, it's me, Xia Jie, who won!"
After all, even if the standard for accepting flesh is low, it wouldn't be low enough to include my corpse. Hmph, a mere Su Nuo, nothing more than a mortal born in an era without me.”
Itadori's grief-stricken expression suddenly froze, while Amai Rin's expression changed from fear to bewilderment, and the newly awakened Higurashi's face also changed from vigilance to confusion. The expressions of the three of them conveyed the same meaning: What is this guy talking about?
Seemingly noticing the three's confusion, Xia Jie reached up and lifted her hair, revealing the blood-red stitches beneath:
"To put it simply, I, Xia Jie, am already dead."
Chapter 7: The Tedious Dialogue Section
"He sang hi pin mu xian lu jun ?"
Hisahito Itadori's eyes sharpened, and as he recalled the "mother" with stitches on her forehead from his memory, he unconsciously clenched his fists.
Xia Jie keenly sensed Hu Zhang's wariness, chuckled, and put her hair down again.
"My posture reminds you of a loach, a mulberry tree, a rose, a model, a leaf, a swan, a catkin, a lion ...
To avoid the troublesome persuasion process, Xia Jie decisively used restraints to skip the plot.
His aura suddenly changed, and the magical power in his body became as active as flowing stream water.
"I traded my inability to maliciously harm good people, especially Hisahito Itadori, for a permanent enhancement of my sorcery skills."
As the words fell, a strange wave of magical energy spread out from Xia Jie's center.
The previously wary Itachi suddenly felt an inexplicable connection between himself and the smiling, mysterious man before him.
The feeling was as if the other party had unilaterally taken on some kind of responsibility related to them, while they were completely free.
Dr. Huzhang had a sudden, almost divine, realization:
"The bondage has truly been established!?"
So, this Mr. Xia Jie is really a good person? Hu Zhang loosened his clenched fist, scratched his head, and gave Xia Jie an apologetic smile:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xia Jie, you helped me resolve the hidden danger of Su Nuo, yet I'm still here doubting you."
Xia Jie waved her hand dismissively and said:
“No need to apologize. Based on your experience, this level of vigilance is perfectly normal and even necessary. Also, you don’t need to call me ‘sir,’ just call me Xia Jie.”
Thanks to the ingenious manipulation of the immortals, a battle that was about to erupt was averted.
At the same time, Xia Jie used her curse power to tightly contain the dense and ominous curse aura emanating from Su Nuo's fingers within her body, raised her hand to stop Ri Che Kuanjian from saying anything, and continued:
“The aura emanating from Sukuna’s finger might attract a special-grade ancient sorcerer named Rime. Therefore, for your safety, I will temporarily keep this finger safe. As for the important information about the advanced school that I mentioned when we met, I will explain it to you in detail after the angel and Fushiguro Megumi arrive.”
"Um, isn't the angel in the second barrier in Tokyo? Does Mr. Natsuki know where the angel is? Also, what's the point of waiting for Fushiguro Megumi to come over? Have you already met Fushiguro Megumi?"
Having caught the key words, Huzhang curiously raised his hand to ask.
Xia Jie sighed softly.
I've already skipped the persuasion part, so why is there still an explanation part?
"An angel's spells can eliminate all spell effects, including barriers. In other words, she can freely enter and exit various barriers. As for the second question, do you remember what was written on the note I handed you?"
Upon hearing this, Itadori, a passionate genius, immediately realized what was happening and snapped his fingers in delight.
"I understand, it's a precognitive technique!"
“Correct.” Xia Jie nodded solemnly. “I know each of you personally, and I understand some of your information and future, although it’s only a very small part of your future. But it’s enough for me to plan a relatively feasible way to stop the Skeleton King from taking over.”
As for the mentality of being in a state of mind, it is complicated by the frequent occurrence of bloating and swelling, and the desire to play with it. It is also a state of mind of being in ...
