Pochi-chan, I used to be a princess.

Gojo Arata dug his nails into the flesh, and the order issued by Yemo Zhengdao shocked his worldview.

Why can it be so natural to sacrifice a young girl?

The classroom gradually became quiet.

Everyone looked at each other.

The less tense atmosphere and relaxed attitude made everyone not pay much attention to assimilation.

However, when Gojo Shincho pointed this out, everyone realized the cruelty.

This cruelty does not refer to the sacrifice of a young girl, but to Gojo Aruna, Geto Suguru who claims to protect the weak, and Yaga Masamichi. None of these three objected to the order.

"It's only been a year. In such a short time, has Gojo-san already become a dirty adult who can sacrifice others for the greater good?"

In the quiet classroom, someone made such an exclamation.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Gojo Arata's figure. Gojo Arata lowered his head, said nothing, and his eyes were full of confusion.

Geto Suguru walked to the door and rang the doorbell. Then, accompanied by a violent explosion, Gojo Satoru looked back and saw a large cloud of black smoke rising from the top of the tall building. Gojo Satoru calmly asked, "Are you still alive?"

[Suguru Geto looked at the exploded window: "I'm still here. If that girl dies like this, will we be the ones to take the blame?"]

【"ah?"】

Gojo Satoru looked carefully and saw a girl in a plain school uniform falling from a height.

[The six eyes accurately captured the girl's figure and face. At that moment, Gojo Satoru's expression was stunned.]

[Suguru Geto summoned a squid-like cursed spirit and jumped down from the building.]

"Don't blame me. If you want to hate someone, just hate Tian Yuan. What?"

[Clad in a military-like uniform, the curse master named Kokun walked to the wall, and was stunned by the scene that appeared in his sight.]

A cursed spirit flew high in the sky. Geto Suguru stood on its back, hugged the girl who had fallen from the building, and said to Kokun, "Don't be so conspicuous. I was just scolded this morning."

[After saying this, Geto Xia Yu glanced at the girl who fell from the building and said, "Is this child an Astral Plasma?"]

Kekun said coldly, "Judging from your uniform, you're a sorcerer from the technical college. Hand that girl over, or I'll kill you."

[Suguru Geto said: "I can't hear you, please come closer to me and talk."]

“Oh, that’s okay.”

[Seeing Geto Suguru catch the girl falling from the building, Gojo Satoru breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his usual nonchalant self.]

Nine sharp blades suddenly shot towards Gojo Satoru's head, but stopped in mid-air 10 centimeters away.

The curse master named Bayer applauded Gojo Satoru's performance from a distance. "Excellent! You're Gojo Satoru, right? You're a famous figure. I've heard you're very powerful. Let me see if the rumors are true."

Gojo Satoru smiled calmly: "Although it's possible, let's set some rules first."

[Byer leaned over the railing and asked curiously, "Rules?"]

"I don't want to be scolded for going too far. As long as you cry and apologize to me, I will spare your life. That's the rule."

Gojo Satoru spoke arrogantly as he walked forward. The sharp blade stuck in the air also involuntarily retreated as Gojo Satoru moved forward.

Chapter 68 Astral Body Kitagawa

[Kekun screams: "Please, please listen to me, I'm wrong! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"]

[Suguru Geto poured himself a cup of black tea and leisurely walked to the sofa and sat down. Next to the sofa, a pink cursed spirit composed of several giant human heads hugged the curse master Kokun and licked him with its large purple tongue: "Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"]

[Cokun desperately pushed the pink curse spirit's head away. Frightened by the pink curse spirit's affection, he screamed for mercy: "I will no longer interfere with this job, and I will no longer be a curse caster."]

The pink curse spirit puts its mouth, which can cover Kokun's head, on Kokun's face: "Give me a kiss! Okay, give me a kiss!"

[Kekun screamed: "Right, I might as well go home and farm." "Of course I'll quit Q too."]

[Suguru Takeru holds the teacup in his right hand and puts his left hand to his ear, pretending he can't hear what you are saying.]

Kokun shouts angrily, "You should have heard me! A mere student, how dare you look down on me? Anyway, Mr. Bayer is here. He is Q's strongest fighter. You and them will..."

The screen of Xia Yujie's phone, which was placed on the coffee table, lit up. Xia Yujie picked up the phone and looked at it, then pointed the screen at Ke Kun: "I want to ask you, is this the Bayer you are talking about?"

[The screen shows Gojo Satoru making a victory sign, and Bayer sitting on the ground with his legs spread apart, blood pouring from his nose, looking like he's been beaten up.]

[Coquin's voice trails off: "That's him, for sure."]

[Q's strongest fighter, Bayer, leaves, causing the organization to collapse.]

"Should we see a doctor?"

"It would be great if I could use the reversal technique like Glass does."

"No, I can't. I don't understand what he's saying at all."

[In the living room, Gojo Satoru holds Tenriko in his arms like a princess and talks to Geto Suguru.]

[Tenariko is dressed simply, with a black single braid, a school uniform, and a white headband. Her face shape is subtly similar to someone else’s.]

[Riko slowly opened her eyes, and Gojo Satoru lowered his head. Through his sunglasses, their eyes met. Riko's eyes widened in surprise, while Gojo Satoru's eyes were a little dazed.]

“You can’t look down on what others like, right?”

“You have to speak your mind for yourself.”

"Thank you, Gojo-san."

"I think that's great. That kind of persistence is important, right?"

"That's amazing! Once the costume is ready, I'll find a place to cosplay."

"It's so great to have Gojo-san here. Thank you."

"From that day on, beauty became a word for me that described something special. If I didn't mean it from the bottom of my heart, I probably wouldn't be able to express it."

"Yes, Kitagawa-san, very beautiful."

“It’s delicious.”

"Sorry, the swimsuit is fine, but let me calm down for a moment."

【Memories of the past flash across the screen.】

[Gojo Satoru and Tennenoriko stared at each other, unable to look away for a long time.]

Sugaya Noha held up Kitagawa Umi's face, looked left and right, and uttered a surprised voice: "Hashidou Madai! That girl, is Umi?!"

Dakong said in surprise: "Surprised! She looks like Haimeng without makeup."

Liuyin looked at Kitagawa Haimeng, then at the astral plasma on the screen, nodded and said, "The similarity is as high as 80%. Strange, isn't Haimeng dead?"

Kitagawa Umi pouted and squinted her eyes at the memory clip in the video: "Well, it feels like waking up in the morning and looking in the mirror."

Kitagawa Umi and Star Plasma's clothing styles are completely opposite, and at first glance it is hard to think they are the same person.

The similarity in facial shape is as high as 80% in Ryūin's words, but there is no shortage of people with similar looks in this world. If the two had not recognized each other at first sight and had not shared those memories, it would have been difficult for the audience to mistake Astral for Kitagawa Umi.

Gojo Arata breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "Akasha Record is misleading again. I felt from the beginning that Haimeng would not die. Akashic Record skipped the death plot precisely because Haimeng did not die that day. That's great, great..."

Gojo Aruna's expression gradually froze as he realized a crucial question: "Is the astral plasma that will be assimilated with Tengen-sama Kitagawa-san?"

Kitagawa Umi opened her mouth, paused, and then laughed heartlessly, "It seems the plot isn't so cliché after all. In the previous abandoned hospital plot, I was probably rescued by a sorcerer who secretly protected the astral plasma. Gojo, who was unaware of the situation, thought I was dead, but in fact, I didn't. My true death was after that, when I assimilated with Tengen-sama."

Gojo Arata hugged his stomach, feeling it twist in his stomach. "No! Gojo Satoru wouldn't do that! How could he do something like that?"

Kitagawa Umi nodded, as if discussing the plot of a movie calmly: "Yeah, I also think there might be a twist. Isn't Gojo Satoru a good person? Willful Gojo-san and Geto-san, who insists on protecting the weak, probably won't be obedient."

Ryune looked at Gojo Arata's expression, then at Kitagawa Umi's, and stammered, "I, I think so too. Gojo-san remembers Umi's words so clearly, he definitely won't obey such an offensive order."

Gojo Arata clenched his fists and stared at himself on the screen, his thoughts seeming to penetrate the screen and reach another world.

[“Watch this!”]

Suddenly, Tennen Riko attacked, slapping Gojo Satoru across the face, twisting it sideways. She then soared into the air, flipped over, and landed firmly on the ground, ready to fight. "You despicable villain, you dare to kill me? I'll kill you first."

[Suguru Geto placed his palm on Gojo Satoru's shoulder and said with a smile: "Riko, calm down first. We are not in cahoots with the group that attacked you."]

[Tenriko said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. You look like a liar, and your bangs are weird."]

【Suguru Geto tilted his head.】

The door opened, and Kuroi Misato rode into the room on a red cursed spirit. The scene before her made cold sweat drip down her face.

"No! That's so disrespectful!"

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru grabbed hold of her hands and feet respectively, and Tennenori was pulled up in mid-air, her body crackling.

Kuroi Misato hurriedly shouted: "Please... please stop!"

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru let go of each other, letting Tenriko fall to the carpet.

Chapter 69: Achilles and the Tortoise

Kuroi Misato said to Tenriko, "Miss, these two gentlemen are our companions."

[Tenriko looked up and asked curiously, "Kuroi, what are you riding on?"]

Kuroi Misato said, "This is Mr. Liu Hai's technique."

[Suguru Geto quips, "Can you please not call me that?"]

Gojo Satoru sat on the sofa, crossing his legs. "This girl is even more aggressive than I thought. I thought assimilation would make you sentimental, and I was even trying to explain how to consider your feelings."

“That’s truly the way a lowly person thinks.”

Tennenori stood up, climbed onto the red cursed spirit's head, raised her index finger, and said loudly with a straightforward smile, "Listen carefully, Master Tianyuan is me, and I am Master Tianyuan. Some fools, like you, confuse assimilation with death. This is completely wrong. Although assimilation will make me Master Tianyuan, Master Tianyuan will also become me. My consciousness, heart, and soul will continue to live after assimilation..."

"Did you change your phone wallpaper?"

"It's Inoue Kazuka."

As Riko-kun's speech continues, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru discuss trivial matters like phone wallpapers. Riko-kun's rage boils over: "Listen to me!"

Gojo Satoru said, "Judging from the way she talks, she probably doesn't have any friends."

[Suguru Geto said, "Then I can send her off without any worries."]

[Riko blushed and shouted, "I speak normally at school!"]

[Riko was stunned for a moment and asked Kuroi Misato, "School, Kuroi, what time is it now?"]

Kuroi Misato said, "It's not noon yet, but you still shouldn't go to school."

[Tenriko said capriciously: "Stop arguing, I'm going!"]

"What? It's safer to go back to the technical college early, right?"

[Outdoor by the pool, Gojo Satoru calls Yaga Masamichi to complain.]

“I personally would love to do this, but this is Master Tianyuan’s order. All of Tennariko’s requests must be fulfilled.”

After hanging up the phone, Gojo Satoru snorted in dissatisfaction, "That's too much indulgence for her."

Geto Suguru said sadly, "Don't say that, Satoru. Even though she said that, after assimilation, she will become the foundation of the barrier at the bottom of the high school as Tengen-sama. She will never see her friends, family, or important people again. Let her do what she wants. That's our mission."

Kuroi Misato bowed and pleaded, "Riko-sama's mother passed away a long time ago, and her father was transferred to work out of town after she entered high school. Since I found her last year, I've been taking care of her, so I hope to at least allow her to spend more time with her friends."

Liu Yin sighed: "It is indeed Hai Meng, the family situation is exactly the same."

Dakong analyzed, "Based on what Kuroi said, that's probably what happened. This year, when Haimeng went to the abandoned hospital to cosplay, she encountered a cursed spirit. The sorcerer who discovered that Haimeng was an astral plasma defeated the cursed spirit and rescued her. He gave her a fake name and severed all ties with her. To others, it looked like Haimeng was dead, so Gojo Arata broke the seal out of her emotional excitement."

Sugaya Noha kicked Gojo Arata and said unhappily, "You are so cold-blooded! You've already seen through Haimeng's identity, yet you're still so eager to send her to death?"

Dakong shook his head: "What Haimeng said was clearly a pretense of being open-minded and comforting you with a cheerful attitude, but who knew that you didn't care at all."

Gojo Shincai was dejected and didn't say a word in rebuttal.

Kitagawa Umi stepped forward and said, "It's not Gojo-san's fault. With the killer outside, returning to the technical high school is the only way to ensure my safety."

Sugaya Noha took out a lollipop, peeled it, and forcefully fed it into Kitagawa Umi's mouth: "Don't speak for him until this incident is over."

Gojo Satoru walked back from the pond and asked Geto Suguru, "Geto, where's the cursed spirit you sent to monitor?"

"Unfortunately, I can't share vision like Miss Mei can, but if anything seems out of the ordinary, I can immediately... Satoru, go to Riko right away."

[As Geto Suguru spoke, he felt the cursed spirit he had placed next to Tennariko being exorcised.]
