Chapter 263 The Eve of Conspiracy
2019, October.
An abandoned warehouse somewhere in Tokyo.
The warehouse was dark and the air was filled with a damp and musty smell.
Two figures stood side by side in front of a water tank.
One was a young man with a handsome face and a noticeable suture line on his forehead.
He was wearing a casual shirt, his chest muscles faintly visible beneath his clothes, and he was looking up at the huge culture tank in front of him.
An embryo-like creature was floating in the light yellow transparent nutrient solution.
"The Cursed Child 'Dai Tian' is one of the Nine Phases." The young man said, "When I made these things, I was trying to see if I could make a shell strong enough to bear Sukuna's body."
Next to him, a volcano head stood and cursed, "Can this thing support Sukuna's soul?"
"Although not as perfect as Yuji Itadori... but these cursed babies were born for this purpose." the young man replied.
"We have made many preparations before this, whether it is slaughtering ordinary people in Okinawa or creating chaos... all of these are to provide nutrients for the growth of Dai Tian."
Leakage Pot's face was gloomy as he looked up at the thing that could barely be considered an embryo.
Thin hands and feet have already grown out, and are gently moving.
"...Nozomi, will Sukuna agree to our conditions?" Louhu asked in a hoarse voice with a depressed look in his eyes.
"To be honest, I don't think anyone can "reach an agreement" with Sukuna—" Nozomi answered calmly after changing into a new body.
He continued: "We can only hope that it happens to be willing to do what we want to do."
Leakage Pot's face became increasingly gloomy.
It is now the only one left of the “Four Great Calamities”.
The main body of the noose was destroyed, and the body of Yuji Kaori was taken back by the high school.
The physical body of Noose has long disappeared in history, and what He has been controlling is the fully active brain.
By constantly replacing the body, an effect close to "immortality" is achieved.
However, that "brain" was destroyed by Su Ze.
At that time, Xusuo wanted to protect the real person, so he did not block Su Ze's attack at the first time.
But He didn't expect that Su Ze actually found their other base - and killed the real person there.
Now, what is in this man's head is another piece of brain that Suosuo used the taboo technique to "back up".
The various functions of the spare parts are far inferior to the original body, but at least they can give "Him" another chance.
"Dai Tian is growing very fast, and it won't be long before he matures... Li Mei is making the final preparations." Luosuo said calmly.
"Sukuna's fingers...how many are there now?" asked Clepsydra in a deep voice.
The rope closed his eyes gently: "Counting the five we took from the technical college, there are seventeen in total."
The clepsydra's expression remained unchanged.
"There are three left, and there is no trace of them." Nosuo said calmly, "I don't know where they are hidden, or maybe they are hidden by special means..."
But this is not a problem. After Sukuna takes on the body, it will naturally be able to sense the position of its fingers.
"...What should we do specifically?" The leaking pot said in a muffled voice.
Nozomi replied: "I have made a plan——"
"The location is..."
-
"Shibuya!" the young man wearing thin-framed glasses spoke loudly and slammed his hands on the table.
He forced himself to remain calm, but he was still a little panicked.
Sitting inside the room were Su Ze, Gojo Satoru, Rakuganji Yoshinobu, Yaga Masamichi, and several first-level magicians.
It is October 2019, 10.
Yidizhi quietly handed two personnel files to Suze.
Su Ze roughly flipped through the files.
Several other copies were handed to the remaining people.
Su Ze raised his head and looked at the young man standing at the end of the table. He said calmly, "...Your name is Yuan Pingqing?"
The young man wore black thin-framed glasses, had handsome features, and bright eyes. He looked like an ambitious young man.
?Gen Heike, 22 years old, a student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Tokyo. He has no skills and is a completely ordinary person.
"...Wow, he's actually a top student from the University of Tokyo." Mingming, who was near the end of the table, exclaimed in a low voice.
"Yes—" the young man nodded slightly, "I am."
His eyes met Su Ze's, unwavering. At the same time, he frowned slightly, trying to make himself look neither humble nor arrogant.
But Su Ze caught his slightly trembling pupils.
"Don't be nervous--" Su Ze lowered his head and gathered the files.
He didn't want the other person to feel stressed by staring at him for too long.
Then he slowly said, "...You said, have you seen a noose?"
Genpei Kiyoshi hesitated and said, "If that seam is the symbol... I have indeed seen it, first on a resort island in Okinawa."
He was talking about the noose, the four natural disasters, and the incident in which Li Mei slaughtered ordinary people on that island and used their blood as a sacrifice to the Buddha "Shan Chen".
At that time, no tourists on the entire island were spared.
Su Ze nodded slightly, "Afterwards, we investigated all the tourists who went to Okinawa during those days and compared the identities of the bodies one by one..."
Genpei Kiyoshi swallowed lightly.
Su Ze continued, "At that time, even if the bodies were difficult to identify, they at least kept their "whole bodies"... except for two people, who had no trace at all."
He raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Pingqing.
The latter shuddered unconsciously.
Su Ze lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "Genpei Kiyoshi, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Tokyo; and another, Kawai Wataru, Department of History, University of Tokyo - the two of you took a flight from Tokyo to Kagoshima to Okinawa on June 6th... and lost contact two days later."
"...Compared to others, you two are lucky - perhaps Zuosuo likes something about you. How is your friend?" Su Ze looked at him again, with unspeakable sympathy in his eyes.
Genpei Kiyoshi's expression changed several times, his mouth opened and closed slightly, and finally, he sighed in self-mockery and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect you to be so..."
He didn't finish.
After a brief pause, he continued, "He is probably dead."
Everyone paused their movements for a moment.
"I saw stitches on his forehead... Although I'm not sure, I subconsciously feel that he is probably no longer himself--" Minamoto Heikei spoke slowly.
Everyone's eyes met briefly.
"'Nozomi', he probably thought I was smart... and he was short of manpower, so he 'asked' me to do something for him--" Genpei Kiyoshi said.
Su Ze did not interrupt, so the others naturally listened to him quietly.
The process is not complicated and there are not too many ups and downs.
"When you came in just now, you said 'Shibuya'..." Su Ze said, "I want to know, why did you say this location?"
Yuan Pingqing raised his head and looked straight into Su Ze's eyes, "That is where they plan to go next -"
His eyes were bright.
-
These are the two tourists at that time. A surfer guy went to chat up Li Mei (the one who was tied up with a noose), and this Yuan guy was the one who stopped his friend and pressed his head to kowtow and beg for mercy~ (See chapters 227 and 228 for details)
