I'm the heroine of a love game in a comic book

Chapter 76: Prelude to the Shibuya Incident

[Dear passengers, due to special circumstances, the train is delayed by about one hour. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you...]

"What's going on? Someone is lying on the tracks again?"

"This is the fourth time this month. The pressure of life is too great. I say this country should be destroyed as soon as possible."

Although everyone complains, train delays due to suicides by lying on the tracks happen frequently in Japan, and people are used to it, getting off the train in groups of three or four to wait for the next departure.

"We happened to park near the Tokyu Department Store. Let's go shopping. It must be very busy there."

JK next to her said excitedly to her boyfriend.

Only Xuejian felt like she had lost both her parents.

No way, it was just a coincidence that I ran into him?

But when she walked up the stairs and saw the light of day again, Xuejian had to admit that she was just that unlucky.

The time pointed to seven-thirty, and the "tent" restricting the movements of ordinary people had fallen. This area, which was once the most prosperous area in the capital, was covered with a veil of death.

Some people cried out of fear, some repeatedly rammed into the transparent "wall", but more people began to shout Gojo Satoru's name.

The situation is not good.

Xuejian subconsciously wanted to call Zenin Naoya, but found that her cell phone had no signal.

I'm going to be scolded by him when I go back. Zenin Naoya will definitely say that other people's affairs are their own business, what can you get in return for being a sucker with good intentions, and it's useless to regret after getting into trouble.

Now Xuejian really began to regret helping her colleagues deliver documents.

Forget it, she just needs to hide in the corner and wait quietly for the incident to end.

"Help, help."

There was a sudden commotion among the crowd, and the originally crowded space was spontaneously formed into a circle, and the sound came from the center of the circle.

Xuejian pushed through the crowd and discovered that it was a cursed spirit covered with tentacles with densely packed mouths on the tentacles.

Now the cursed spirit was using each of its tentacles to slowly gnaw at the man on the ground.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, this is simply a ghost. A living person suddenly lost his upper body.

Why did the cursed spirit appear now? When the Shibuya Incident first started, the people in the outermost "tent" should have been safe.

Xuejian didn't have time to think about it. After the cursed spirit ate the boy, it began to look for its next target, which was herself right in front of it.

Let me try the strength of this body, Xuejian thought.

Relying on the body comparable to that of heaven and curse obtained by the system, killing an ordinary cursed spirit should be no problem.

Xuejian got into a karate stance, ready for the fight.

The cursed spirit was obviously angered by Xuejian's attitude, "じゃじゃじゃ, you actually underestimated me!" He roared and rushed towards Xuejian!

Closer, closer, until the tentacles of the cursed spirit were about to brush her cheek. Xuejian took action boldly, now is the time!

At this moment, the body of the cursed spirit suddenly shrank rapidly, and the curse power became weaker and weaker until it disappeared.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Xuejian turned around and saw a player she didn't recognize frowning and staring at her. "I remember you were trying to capture Zenin Naoya, but he didn't have a role in the Shibuya Incident, so why are you here?"

As she spoke, the woman put away the mirror in her hand. It was obvious that she was the one who had just gotten rid of the cursed spirit, and the mirror was her curse tool.

"Why do you care why I'm here?" Xuejian subconsciously retorted.

Everyone knows that I am trying to capture Zenin Naoya. My ID card shows that I am an ordinary person, but can't you use your brain to think about how I got involved inexplicably?

"Watch your back."

This time Xuejian was well prepared. She held down the female player's shoulders, used the force to fly into the air, and kicked over another cursed spirit that was about to launch a sneak attack on the player.

This physical fitness is too good. Xuejian was surprised and happy. Now she didn't have to worry about being cannon fodder.

"Thank you. Is your body modified by the system?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

The player was wearing a kimono called Semuchi, with his hair neatly tied up behind his head. Although he looked a year or two older than her, he exuded the dignity of a superior, and the way he looked at her made Xuejian feel uncomfortable.

"You didn't do anything you shouldn't do to gain power."

?

"Forget it, I'll just assume you came in by mistake. I'll take you to find a place to hide first. Don't run around and don't get in my way."

The player looked away, grabbed Xuejian's hand and dragged her away without saying anything. Xuejian fell down and stumbled after him, asking, "Wait, what's your name?"

"Jingmiya Yasuko."

*

Jingzi Jingu grabbed Xuejian and prepared to take her to a place far away from the station. On the way, they met several players, all of whom were sorcerers. Xuejian had seen some of them at the technical high school last time.

"Shouldn't the Tokyo school students be staying outside the tent at this time, or has your plan already begun?"

"To answer your question I must first confirm your position."

Xuejian didn't understand, "What position?"

"Are you on the side of the protagonists, or are you trying to complete the strategy without knowing right from wrong?"

Xue Jian was stunned at first, then she shouted in dissatisfaction, "Hey, you are the classmate who became a rotten orange in Gojo Satoru's mouth, right? We are all players, can't we be a little more friendly?"

"I'm sorry if I offended you, but it's better to be cautious anyway, because similar things have happened before and I'm responsible for everyone."

Jingu Yasuko was not angry, her tone remained the same, making people angry. Xuejian was sure that she was the player who endured humiliation and climbed to the top of the sorcery world. This official tone was too good.

"If you are the player who makes it to the top, please trust your partners more. I am not the old orange that you need to deal with every day."

Xuejian calmed down and said, "I got in by mistake because the train was delayed. My position is the same as yours."

"it is good."

Jingu Yasuko nodded, her expression moved. At this moment, an inexplicable force restrained their movements, and the next second the two of them flew into the air, and the power surging from the ground was pulling them down.

There were at least a thousand other people who were roughly pulled into the station with them. After everyone was pulled into the station, the force suddenly loosened. The people who had no power to fight back fell all over the place from mid-air and were all squeezed together, no different from a can of sardines.

Jing Gong Jingzi reached out and pulled Xue Jian into her arms, avoiding the squeeze of others, and comforted her,

"Don't be afraid, they just sucked us into the ground. It seems that the real person is already taking action. It doesn't matter, we still have our people down there."

Xuejian was filled with tears. It was not a matter of fear or not. If I had known that I would have to go back to the station, I would not have come up for a walk.

=====

After Zenin Naoya arrived in Tokyo, he had to change trains again to get to the building where Tsukishiro Yukie worked.

He was about to go underground when his father called.

"Naoya, you are in Tokyo now."

Zenin Naoya was shocked at how his father knew about it so quickly. Who dared to tell him the secret? He hurriedly explained,

"Dad, my injury has long been healed. Xuejian and I haven't seen each other for almost a month..."

"I don't have time to listen to your romantic ideas. Go to the New South Exit of JR Shibuya Station in Shibuya District immediately. I have a mission."

But I still have flowers in my hands.

Zenin Naoya suppressed his anger and called Xuejian first. The mission location was in Shibuya District. A curse appeared in a busy area with huge flow of people. This cursed spirit would be difficult to deal with no matter how strong or weak it was. He had to tell Xuejian to go home quickly after get off work.

Weird, the user I’m calling is out of service area?

Zenin Naoya didn't think much about it. Perhaps Xuejian was on her way home by train, and it was common for the signal to be poor.

He sent another text message and hurried to the battlefield.

"So our mission now is to wait, wait for Gojo Satoru to solve the incident and then we celebrate, or for Gojo Satoru to die and we take a few bites of his corpse like hyenas?"

After listening to the whole story explained by Atsuya Kusakabe, Zenin Naoya spoke unhappily.

Ordinary people were trapped in the "tent" set up by the cursed spirits. They were instigated to collectively call for Gojo Satoru to appear, while other sorcerers stayed outside the tent on standby. Those who didn't know might think they were elementary school students waiting for their leaders to inspect their work and preparing to present flowers.

Kusakabe remained silent, and Panda said nothing.

Zenin Naoya vomited inwardly. It was already such a late hour and the higher-ups were still playing tricks, planning on getting Gojo Satoru seriously injured or killed.

If Gojo Satoru dies after destroying the cursed spirit, the Gojo faction will also be purged, and the foundation he has painstakingly worked on for ten years will be destroyed. Along with the child named Itadori, they will be executed, and the top leaders will be able to rest easy from then on.

If Gojo Satoru survives but lets the cursed spirit escape, or causes heavy casualties, he will no longer be the "strongest". Having lost his title of the strongest, Gojo Satoru will no longer be able to win the hearts of the people, and his self-esteem may be greatly damaged, and he may even retire from the martial arts world.

If Gojo Satoru can easily defeat the cursed spirit, then the status quo will be maintained. The top leaders will not lose out anyway.

Look at the teammates assigned to him.

Kusakabe is a second-year teacher at the Tokyo school, but he is a lazy person who flirts with the top management and goes with the flow.

The panda is an animal that cannot be considered an animal. Zenin Naoya didn't even want to look at it.

As for the others, they were only first-year students and didn’t even understand their own techniques, so they could only follow orders.

Thinking of this, Zenin Naoya began to hesitate. He and Gojo Satoru were now allies. What if Gojo Satoru died or his reputation was damaged? How could he take advantage of the situation and marry Yukie legitimately?

Noticing Zenin Naoya's hesitation, Yoshino Junpei, who had been asking Kusakabe to enter the tent, became anxious.

"Mr. Zenin, you must go to the tent. Sister Xuejian is at the underground station."

"What did you say?"

Zenin Naoya broke out in a cold sweat, which meant that Xuejian was very likely to encounter a cursed spirit!

Zenin Naoya grabbed Yoshino Junpei's collar, his eyes bloodshot:

"Please explain your words more clearly. Xuejian should have gone home by now. Why would she be in Shibuya?"

"It was Aoi Matsushima who said that Sister Xuejian had been chatting with her before, and she said that she was going to deliver documents to a client, and when she was going home, she happened to pass by the coverage area of ​​the account by taking the train. Sister Xuejian is very likely inside!"

Zenin Naoya let go of Yoshino Junpei and looked at Matsushima Aoi, seeking confirmation.

The player Matsushima Aoi nodded quickly, "It's true. When I contacted Sister Xuejian later, it showed that the signal was out of service area."

"Mr. Zenin, you believe it now, come with us to rescue Sister Xuejian."

Yoshino Junpei urged. He didn't dare to think about what such a kind and gentle sister Xuejian would do if she encountered a cursed spirit.

"Mr. Zenin?"

After hearing what Yoshino Junpei and Matsushima Aoi said, Zenin Naoya was distraught.

"Xuejian..."

Why didn't he realize it earlier? Except for the early stages of their relationship when they were physically together but spiritually apart, and the cold war when they had quarrels, Xuejian had never ignored his calls.

Even when it showed that the user was out of service area, he didn't think much about it.

If I had discovered the problem earlier and taken the train directly, I wouldn't have wasted so much time.

Without time to regret, Zenin Naoya quickly adjusted himself.

"Junpei Yoshino, Aoi Matsushima, what are your spells and what level of sorcerer are you?"

"I can summon Shikigami, currently at level two." Yoshino Junpei said impatiently.

"I'm also level two." Matsushima Aoi hesitated for a moment. Her current strength should be above level one.

"Then you will die if you go, so just stay here."

"No, we have to go together." Matsushima Aoi objected.

Yoshino Junpei also strongly requested to go, but Zenin Naoya was in no mood to argue with them, so he walked into the tent holding one person by the scruff of the neck with one hand.

“Let me make it clear first, if you die, I will not collect the bodies of your parents.

Kusakabe, you and the panda should just guard the door."

Finally got in, Matsushima Aoi breathed a sigh of relief.

If Zenin Naoya hadn't arrived just in time, she really didn't know how she would have convinced Kusakabe to let her in. She was ready to knock him out with a club.

The three of them hurried all the way and finally arrived at the underground station.

"From here on, cursed spirits may appear anywhere and at any time. Don't blame me for not warning you."

Zenin Naoya casually stabbed a cursed spirit and said.

"I understand." She and Yoshino Junpei cheered up and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Now everyone else should have entered the tent as planned. I wonder how Yujia is doing.

Takase Yuka has been out of contact since three days ago. Although Matsushima Aoi understood that this was to make Zenin Maki and others believe that she went on a mission in the mountains, it was too exaggerated that she didn't even reply to the players' text messages.

Hopefully, she has reached the fifth underground floor of the Fukutoshin Line platform by now.

Matsushima Aoi suppressed her uneasiness and began to harvest cursed spirits.

"Hey, you look very energetic. Do you want to become a part of the forest?"

Yoshino Junpei was concentrating on killing a passing cursed spirit when a branch suddenly entangled his lower leg and dragged him away. Matsushima Aoi quickly set fire to the branch and smoothed Junpei down.

It’s Hanamika, one of the four great cursed spirits!

Shouldn't it be ambushing Gojo Satoru on the fifth underground floor together with Louhu Zhangxiang? Why is it here?

"It's you, dryad."

Zenin Naoya gritted his teeth and said, "I let you get away last time, but I won't let you go this time."

"I think it's my turn to say this."

A playful expression appeared on Hua Yu's face.

"I came here specially after I noticed your presence. You are not so lucky this time, kid who escaped from me, because Gojo Satoru will be killed by my companions soon."

"And you, my missed fish, prepare to become nutrients for the forest."
