A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

“I got hit hard in the face!!?”

Seeing Xuan Hao being hit head-on by Hyō Jinci's fist, Fushiguro Megumi and others couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

Under the influence of violence, Xuanhao fell backwards.

But he quickly regained his balance, straightened his back and stood up again.

"!!"

Looking at this scene, Cheng Jinci was slightly surprised.

"This brat!! From just now... he showed no intention of dodging!!"

"You guy, there's something wrong with your brain." He couldn't help but curse at Xuan Hao.

"..."

However, Xuanhao remained silent and did not answer.

He knew that this battle was different from the one in Shibuya. In a sense, it was a ceremony held to gain Senior Cheng's recognition.

So he wouldn't dodge, let alone fight back.

Until the person is willing to give in.

"Interesting, then I'd like to hear what you want to say."

Cheng Jinci saw that Xuanhao didn't say anything but just looked at him with a stubborn look, and he suddenly became angry. He moved his shoulders and prepared to attack again.

The terrifying curse lingered over him, strengthening his body.

"The premise is that you have to stand still and don't let me knock you down."

“Ajin!!”

Qi Luoluo, who was not far away, saw this and shouted, "They are here to ask you for help! Just listen to what they have to say!"

"Didn't I say I would listen?"

Hyō Kinji responded as a matter of course.

"..."

Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard the words.

"It seems like, is this OK?"

"Xuanhao, why did you come to me?" Cheng Jinci spread his hands and asked Xuanhao. "Why did you come to me for help?"

"Because the seniors said you are very strong."

"I guess so."

boom--

As Cheng Jinci spoke, he punched Xuanhao again.

Xuanhao took a few steps back again.

  What's up with this guy's fist!?

Not to mention the power, what's more important is that it hurts so much!!

It felt like being beaten with a baseball bat wrapped in sandpaper!!

"The prerequisite for a magician to seek help from another magician is to make the other party feel the will of 'please risk your life with me!'!" Hyōjinji roared and reminded, "And at this moment! You must let me feel your 'passion'! The 'passion' that makes me willingly risk my life for you!!"

"How nice of you! You actually admitted that you came here because someone asked you to!? What kind of market is Uncle Night Moth doing!? Trash like you should be fired as soon as possible!!"

“I have no passion.”

Xuanhao responded calmly.

"What?" Cheng Jinci was slightly stunned.

Xuanhao continued: "I am a spare part."

"It allows magicians to remove curses, and it will continue to remove curses in the future."

"Hey, hey, hey, is this true? You." Cheng Jinci was very unhappy when he heard this, "You are so boring!"

Oops!! Can't go on any longer...

When Fushiguro Megumi saw that Hyō Kinji was about to attack again with his fists clenched, she was slightly startled and warned Xuan Hao: "Xuan Hao!! Enough!!"

However, his reminder was of no use at all, and Xuanhao once again took Cheng Jinci's punch head-on.

But this time, he flew out and fell to the ground.

"It hurts, right? Sensei Gojo once said that my cursed power is much rougher than others." Hyō Kinji asked calmly.

But this time Xuanhao didn't respond at all.

"Dead? Probably not..."

Seeing that Xuanhao seemed to have fainted, Cheng Jinci looked in the direction of the panda, "Hey! Panda!! And that sea urchin head. Take Xuanhao away from here quickly, and don't let him come near again."

"call--"

However, at this moment, he felt movement behind him.

"what!?"

When he looked back, he found that Xuanhao had stood up again and came behind him at some point.

"He just got hit by three punches without any defense!? And I had already hit him many times before."

"What are you made of?" Cheng Jinci felt a little ashamed and couldn't help asking.

"I am a component." Xuan Hao still responded calmly, "A component has its own mission. My mission is to enable the magicians to continue to remove the curse. Since I must get the help of Senior Cheng to complete this task, I will keep pestering you until I get your approval."

"Senior, what is your mission?"

Cheng Jinci was slightly stunned and looked at Xuanhao's serious eyes. He knew that this was the "passion" of parts! !

"As long as you like, I will take as many punches as you want--"

"Ajin." Qiluoluo couldn't help but smiled and reminded Cheng Jinci as she watched this scene, "Do you feel like you've found passion?"

Hyō Jinci grinned. People won't lie when it comes to passion.

"...You guys, come here."

"!!"

Hearing this, Fushiguro Megumi and Panda were slightly stunned, and then suddenly became happy.

"Make a deal."

Hyōjinji said calmly.

What he meant was probably that he had agreed to help.

"Huh? It's solved... Does he recognize us?" Fushiguro Megumi asked Kirara, a little uncertain.

"Yeah." Qi Luoluo nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your help." Fushiguro Megumi thanked.

"You're welcome." Qi Luoluo said with a smile, "Although I hate those guys in the upper echelons, Ajin, who is also willing to help others in the technical college, is the most passionate one."

"Hmm...?" The panda said that he had never noticed this before.

  ···········

"Is this true?!? Gojo-sensei has been sealed!?"

After listening to the explanation from Xuanhao and others, Cheng Jinci was naturally surprised.

"Really. Absolutely true." Several people nodded in unison.

"Oh my god--" Cheng Jinci immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

"There is one more thing. Sorry to mention it casually at this time." Panda suddenly said, "The principal is dead too."

"!!"

Hearing this, even Xuan Hao couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"Senior Panda?" Megumi Fushiguro asked in confusion.

"I'm sorry for not telling you earlier," the panda said apologetically, "but it's true."

“……”Xuan Hao felt a little sad when he heard that.

"It's okay, Xuanhao. It's not because of the Shibuya incident. It's because of the dispute with the upper echelons after that." Panda comforted.

"But that's not good either." Xuanhao sighed, "The principal is not your senior..." "What I said about 'it's okay' also includes this meaning." Panda seemed to have let it go and smiled with relief, "Thank you."

"Since you said so, we won't say much." Cheng Jinci covered his head with a headache and said, "But I didn't expect that all the people who had taken care of us would..."

"Yeah." Qi Luoluo on the side also sighed.

"The last time I felt this sad was when I saw the oryx in 'Princess Mononoke' get shot in the butt," said Kinji Hyūga.

"This person's life is really smooth sailing..."

Upon hearing this, everyone had the same thought.

"Anyway, I understand."

After feeling sad for a while, Cheng Jinci said calmly, "I promise to help you pacify the Death Rebellion."

"But don't get me wrong."

Just when everyone was about to be happy, Cheng Jinci continued, "I am not moved by love. To put it bluntly, I want to make a deal with you. Do you understand? After the death and destruction return journey is over, you have to do me a favor."

"You want us to help you push for changes to the rules on spells, right?" Panda asked. "The existence of cursed spirits has been made public, so changes are inevitable. What exactly do you want to do?"

"No matter how you want to change it, it shouldn't be too difficult." Fushiguro Megumi said lightly.

"Ah? You sea urchin, you know nothing!" Hearing Fushiguro Megumi's loud tone, Kyō Kinji felt a little unhappy.

"I am the head of the Zenin family." Fushiguro Megumi responded expressionlessly.

Based on the principle of making the best of one's situation, he plans to make good use of this identity in the future.

"Ah? Really?"

Cheng Jinci was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately felt that this matter had potential.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey...are you serious? It's a bit disrespectful to Xuanhao and the others to say that. But this is really the most shocking thing for me today. With the three major families backing me up, wouldn't it be easy for me to intervene in the revision of the rules?! But the question is how can I prevent the Zenin family from interfering in the operation of the gambling boxing match after that?"

Thinking of this, Kinji Hyō changed his expression and smiled at Fushiguro Megumi affectionately, "Sea urchin head!!"

"My last name is Fushiguro."

"Fushiguro-kun!! Let's get closer~"

"……OK."

Fushiguro Megumi responded somewhat embarrassedly.

They don't know at this moment that the Chanyuan family is actually gone.

It was destroyed by Zenin Maki alone.

"Okay, now it's time to assign each of us to the barrier we're heading to."

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Panda reminded.

"Is Yuta going to the palace?"

However, just as everyone was about to discuss the plan, a rapid ring rang out.

“Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong—”

"What!?"

Everyone was slightly stunned and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

A cursed spirit that looked like a cicada was floating above their heads, announcing, "Now I will announce an additional rule for players to return to the game after death!! General Rule 9, players can refer to other players' information - including 'name', 'score', 'number of additional rounds', and 'retention barrier'."

  ···········

boom--

Inside the barrier.

A man's figure flew backwards against the wall, the terrible violence piercing his abdomen directly and causing the wall to crack.

Obviously deader than dead.

"Add 5 points."

The manager's voice reminded beside the figure who killed the man.

"Of course, I killed him."

The man squatted down and muttered to himself unhappily, "One of them is too weak. The guys 400 years ago were even stronger. Where are you? Sukuna!!"

"Your score has exceeded 200 points. Do you need to spend 100 points to add a rule for the death return?" the administrator reminded.

"Oh yeah... rules."

The man reacted and smiled.

"Name... score as a measure of strength... oh yeah, the pursuit rule, points will be deducted. Then add the number of additional rules. And then there's the barrier you're in, Jin. Additional rules, reveal all players' information."

"clear."

The administrator "Golden Cicada" responded.

  ···········

"I'm Xiao Jin!! I'm the window responsible for communication between players and Death Return Game!!"

On the other side, Jin Chan introduced himself to Xuan Hao and others.

"It seems like the settings of this thing have changed since before?"

Cheng Jinci asked with some confusion.

"I am now speaking as a window affiliated with the player Xuanhao. What just happened was a report from the official website of Death and Rebirth!!" Xiao Jin replied.

"Lord Tianyuan seems to have mentioned this... No, there is something wrong here! Why has Xuanhao been identified as a player?" asked Fushiguro Megumi.

"!!"

Xuan Hao was also slightly surprised when he heard this.

"Except for those who have been granted spells and cursed items by the silk rope, others should be recognized as players for the first time when they invade the barrier."

"It's Sukuna!"

Xuanhao thought of something and replied.

"This death-annihilation journey was prepared by Kinso a thousand years ago, and Sukuna had probably already made a contract with Kinso at that time."

"Does the contract also include participating in the Death and Annihilation Tour?" Fushiguro Megumi was still a little confused after hearing this, "But it's still strange. You swallowed Sukuna's finger of your own will. I am the witness. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be considered a cursed object."

"…I'm so jealous. Let's talk about it later."

He also knew that now was not the time to consider such things. "Xuanhao, quickly ask Xiaojin to retrieve the player's information."

"Xiao Jin."

Xuan Hao nodded slightly when he heard this and looked at Xiao Jin beside him.

"no problem!"

Soon, Xiao Jin showed a list to everyone.

"It's this man."

Fushiguro Megumi pointed at the name of the only person who had added rules to the cabinet.

Lu Ziyun 1.

"He originally had 200 points... Why did he add such a rule?"

"That means he has killed at least 40 people in the past few days, right?" Xuan Hao was a little shocked when he saw this astonishing score. "The additional reason will definitely make people uncomfortable."

"But in this way, we may be able to avoid killing anyone and return to the game."

Fushiguro Megumi said calmly, "Xiao Jin, can you only list the players with scores over 100 points?"

"!"

Xuan Hao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and seemed to realize what Fushiguro Megumi was thinking.

"I belong exclusively to Xuanhao." Xiao Jin retorted.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. Just agree to whatever Fushiguro asks for." Xuanhao said to Xiaojin.

"searching……"

Soon, Xiao Jin started searching the list again.

"As long as people like Tsu Miki who were dragged into this for no reason are not in a hurry to leave the barrier... and those magicians who were possessed in the past, they made a contract with the silk rope because of their own different ideas, and they may not be very enthusiastic about the death and return journey."

Fushiguro Megumi took this opportunity to explain, "If there are still people like Shikaku who have too many points..." (End of this chapter)
