Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 293: Crisis Resolved
The trajectory of time coincides with the present world.

At once, sounds from various sources flooded into Gojo Satoru's ears again, including the sound of the plane's engine, the passengers' screams of fear due to the unusual changes, and... the sound of the two bombs thrown out of the cabin being blown up by his subsequent 'Huh'.

The estimated distance was just right. The aftermath of the explosion did not affect the plane much. In fact, the impact it brought was not as great as that caused by the hole created by Gojo Satoru.

The huge pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cabin at high altitude caused the objects in the cabin to be thrown out the moment it was broken. Fortunately, the position chosen by Gojo Satoru was very sparsely populated, so the people around him were not swept away and killed in an instant.

Gojo Satoru also considered this point. If they ignored the hole, with the plane's current altitude, they would most likely be destroyed by the disaster before they could make an emergency landing.

This is not just a hole. The tearing caused by the pressure difference between the inside and the outside will gradually expand the hole and eventually escalate the danger.

The method to deal with this situation is actually quite simple, which is to balance the pressure difference. If it is a bullet-sized hole, you only need to use an object such as paper of similar thickness to block the small hole.

But for a hole like this one that is half a person's height and is still expanding, where can the plane find an object big enough to block it?
"Cang!"

The cabin, which was already experiencing turbulent airflow, suddenly had a large force flowing in different directions. Then, several empty seats and some debris around were all pulled over by Gojo Satoru. At this time, the six eyes were once again used to their full potential, allowing Gojo Satoru to master the spell to an extremely detailed level at the moment.

He had to control the spell while being careful not to let Cang's "suction" destroy the cabin. After the distance between matter was tampered with to "negative infinity", the debris began to gather, squeeze, and shrink towards one point.

In this reality, it only took one or two seconds, but it consumed a lot of Gojo Satoru's energy. It was like asking you to use the strength that can lift a tripod to thread an embroidery needle. It requires the ability to control the details to the extreme.

Fortunately, this was not as difficult for Gojo Satoru as it was for others. Soon, the debris was compressed into an almost smooth and flat "pancake", which was placed on the hole to block the constantly changing wind pressure.

Gojo Satoru didn't have time to worry about it. In fact, he only needed to change the object of the unlimited technique to prevent the things in the cabin from being sucked out. The principle was probably the same as when he used the technique to fly.

But now he still needs to deal with other criminals. Because of the environment at Geto Suguru's place, large cursed spirits like the Rainbow Dragon cannot be summoned here.

The higher the level of the cursed spirits, the greater the degree of their interference with the real world. For example, the low-level trash cursed spirits like the fly head cannot directly harm people, but they have an instinct that high-level cursed spirits cannot master except through spells - passing through walls.

This seems like a trivial ability for ghosts and gods, but it is impossible for cursed spirits. They cannot ignore the existence of matter, so ordinary people can actually touch cursed spirits directly. In this case, if a large cursed spirit like the Rainbow Dragon is summoned.

Once they appear, they will directly blow up the cabin, at the very least injure the passengers, and directly accomplish what the criminals want to do.

When running towards the front of the cabin, Gojo Satoru could already hear a few sporadic gunshots and a sudden curse, but he didn't hear any explosion. He thought that Geto Suguru had successfully dealt with the bomb and started to deal with the remaining criminals at the same time.

"Cang!"

It was not a range distortion used for attack, but a simple reduction of "infinity" for teleportation. So the next moment, a strong wind blew up, knocking down the gangsters who were at the back and reacted in confusion.

The last thing they were aware of and saw was an attacking fist and a white-haired face that suddenly appeared.

Gojo Satoru did not kill them, not because he was soft-hearted or anything, but mainly because the cowering passengers were also looking at this place in confusion. Killing people on the spot... the time was not right yet.

They quickly dealt with the criminals along the way, but although they didn't know where they got the power to get guns and bombs and bring them on the plane, not every one of them had one.

Therefore, Gojo Satoru dealt with them with almost no effort and returned all the way to the original place. Xia Youjie had also dealt with the criminals here. After all, ordinary people have no resistance to the cursed spirits that have direct killing power.

"Huh... Satoru, are you done with that?"

Gojo Satoru responded and glanced at the hatch. The door there had disappeared, and in its place was a cursed spirit of some unknown creature, which had been stretched into a thick membrane like rubber.

It was the existence of this cursed spirit that blocked the gap in the original hatch. It can only be said that this was the most convenient method, and it was also the tacit understanding between the two.

Crisis resolved.

The next thing was to check the damage, which was not too bad, thanks to the quick reaction of Geto Suguru and Nozomi. The most dangerous of those armed gangsters was immediately controlled by the 'Slit-Mouthed Woman' summoned by Geto Suguru.

The advantage of the shikigami was fully demonstrated at this moment. The other small cursed spirits summoned by Geto Suguru almost at the same time knocked down the gunmen, leaving them with only time to pull the trigger randomly, injuring several passengers. With the existence of the reversal technique, this non-fatal injury was basically acceptable.

Then the cabin door was broken open, and a cursed spirit rushed out of the cabin carrying the leader with a bomb tied to his body. Amid the roar of successive explosions, Xia Yujie held on to someone beside him and breathed a sigh of relief as the plane shook violently.

Then Gojo Satoru came back, which meant that the crisis was temporarily resolved. His mind, which had been so tense that no other distracting thoughts could exist, finally relaxed. Then Glass went to treat the wounded.

Watching Geto Suguru go to the captain's room to confirm the situation, Gojo Satoru cast his gaze at Tennuriko who was sitting on the ground at a loss. Even Kuroi Misato could only instinctively comfort her at this moment. In fact, she was also very scared.

After all, if this kind of thing happens, it will inevitably appear in international news. How can ordinary people encounter it in their lifetime? Especially since Tenriko was the source of this incident, it is not surprising that she would have such a psychological trauma.

"..."

After opening his mouth, Gojo Satoru found that he couldn't say anything effective to comfort him in this situation, so he just left a few dry words of comfort. The current danger was resolved, but the impact it brought was not over yet. What made Gojo Satoru especially headache was everything that the more than 100 people witnessed, and the scene that the guy transmitted back.

It stands to reason that there is no signal for transmitting images at this altitude, but considering the means used by this group of people, if they use satellites as a transmission medium, it is hard to say what will be left behind...

Even if it was just the interception of a simple voice conversation, if the other party wanted to make it public... No, this seems unlikely. People in the sorcery world seem to have a consensus, that is, not to make sorcery public to the world.

The top leaders of the Panxing Sect must also be aware of the existence of the curse, but they have not leaked the existence of the curse on a large scale. Otherwise, no matter who is behind them, they will be immediately eliminated at least on the surface.

Perhaps sooner or later the existence of the curse will be announced, but at least it must be disclosed in a planned manner under the guidance of the General Directorate or the official authorities, and it must not suddenly cause panic among the people, as that would only intensify the emergence of the curse and then create a vicious cycle.

Some things can only be done by specific beings. If others want to encroach upon them, they are not allowed. Sometimes, right and wrong are just a fine line apart.

"More than a hundred people... The General Directorate should be able to handle it. It would be great if there was something that could harmlessly erase a certain memory with a single shot. Never mind. Those guys are the ones that are giving me a headache. According to Genichi, with the development of modern society, sooner or later, the curse will no longer be hidden and will inevitably be made public. Maybe this is a sign of the opportunity."

Deal with the criminals, repair the bulkheads, comfort the passengers... The plane had no way of reaching its destination, and for safety reasons it had decided to make an emergency landing at the nearest airport. It had no choice but to land again not long after the journey began.

Gojo Satoru and his companions also informed the General Headquarters through the onboard satellite phone. In fact, even if they had not notified them, the situation of the passenger plane would have been discovered by the ground. As long as the alarm was raised, the Jujutsu General Headquarters, which also had great power in the human world, would also know that something had happened to the passenger plane escorting the interstellar plasma.

Even though he had almost absolute confidence in Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, he still had to do what he had to do. After landing, he would send someone to take charge of the follow-up no matter what.

Sure enough, after landing, Gojo Satoru saw a group of people wearing suits with very familiar details. There was no doubt that they were the people sent by the General Directorate to "clean up the aftermath", and the most surprising thing was that he actually saw a white shadow in the distance.

"Teacher Genichi..."

After getting off the plane, the ambulance and related personnel were busy. Gojo Satoru and the others felt much more relieved after seeing Shen Genichi's arrival. Now even if several special-grade cursed spirits appeared or even artillery bombarded the ground, they would just take it lightly.

The latter's power made them feel at ease, and Tennen Riko and Kuroi Misato saw that Gojo Satoru and the others seemed to have seen some backbone. Looking at the man with very similar hair and eyes, Tennen Riko suddenly inexplicably felt a kind of power being firmly conveyed from the other person's eyes.

"Riko, right... Don't be afraid, it's all over, no one will threaten your life anymore."

……

After understanding the whole process, Shen Yuanyi's expression was still so calm. He only engraved the technique on the Dojiki sword just in case.

This method is not too difficult, but he is probably the only one in the world who can do it. To be honest, it is the same method as making spell tools.

It’s okay for low-level curse tools, as long as they can have an impact or damage the curse, they can be called curse tools, but what about those high-level curse tools?

How did cursed tools with magical powers like Doujikiri, Onikiri, and even Ame-no-Habesuzan, as well as special-grade cursed items like Yuuko Kyou, come into being?

The answer is not complicated. Their source can only be a curse with the same spell, and... the sorcerer.

What is known clearly at present is that the Gokumon Kō is the physical body of the monk Genshin after his death, and the Dojikiri is an "evil sword" forged by the magicians of the Heian period in order to kill Shuten Doji. As for its casting process, it can only be said that it is definitely not the normal way of forging weapons.

In the past, Shen Yuanyi had thought about whether he could "imprint" or preserve his own technique, making it a device that could be triggered when certain conditions were met even if it was separated from him.

So he used his ample time to study this direction, which was actually the path of casting spell tools, and then Shenyuan naturally succeeded and achieved results.

That is to engrave an incomplete ritual on a qualified carrier. As long as conditions such as inputting a certain amount of magical power are met, the ritual can be activated, making the holder enter a state of no energy.

However, due to various reasons, it is of course impossible to replicate the technique that Shen Yuanyi himself used with all his strength 100%, and the effect of reversing the technique is even worse, which is simply useless.

And as a price, the duration of the spell once triggered is very limited. Even when it is not triggered, it will gradually wear out and disappear. There are also requirements for the carrier it is attached to, and it cannot be carried by just anything.

For example, the reserved technique was triggered this time, which caused some damage to Doujikiri. Fortunately, this damage is still within the range of repair and is not serious.

In order to create a magical tool that can bend the rules of time at will, Shen Genichi may need to be like Monk Genshin. However, this is too stupid. The technique is most powerful only when it is "alive". Once it is "dead", no matter how powerful it looks, it is actually vulnerable.

"Teacher Yuanyi, how do we solve the follow-up issues?"

In the arranged safe house, Gojo Satoru planned to inquire about the subsequent arrangements, whether they should continue to escort them or leave it to Shen Genichi.

However, Shen Genichi did not directly answer his question, but asked Gojo Satoru a question in return.

"Satoru, what about you? How do you plan to handle this mission? I mean... your true thoughts."
