Chapter 1209: Weng Faluosī 3.2 (255)

While the two were chatting, Wa'erte shared the coordinates of the Astral Express with the Great Black Tower.

"Thank you, Ms. Black Tower. 'Partners' are the lifeblood of the Astral Express. After this, we will surely repay your assistance."

This pleased Black Tower quite a bit, and she couldn't help but give him several more looks: "Wa'erte… this young man is indeed very polite."

Black Tower finished giving orders to the several mirrors before her, then prepared to set out.

"Coordinates input complete, preparing to initiate space fold. Target: unknown celestial body 'Weng Faluosī'."

"Space fold countdown: five, four, three, two, one…"

Accompanied by a blinding white light, Black Tower's data spirit was swiftly projected onto the outskirts of Weng Faluosī, where she saw the radiant light band forming an ∞ shape.

"Whoa… is this Weng Faluosī? Its appearance is truly unique." Ms. Black Tower ordered, "Second mirror, prepare 'thought refraction'—send me in!"

"Okay—please, please read the safety agreement carefully…"

"Can you be quicker?"

"Yes, yes, I obey!"

After another flash of white light before her eyes and a bout of jolting, Black Tower finally landed steadily, directly arriving at the Genesis Vortex Core.

In the distance flowed the stars, while the totems of the twelve Titans hovered in the sky, yet unlit.

"Ouch… I didn't expect it to be so jarring. If I'd known, I'd have had the second mirror lower its power." Black Tower gazed at the distant massive vortex core, "Whoa… what a magnificent sight—is this the entrance to Weng Faluosī? Let me see; maybe I can find a way in."

Black Tower approached a statue of a conflict creation, examined it up and down, and said, "What is this, a statue? Ugly, I don't like it."

Next she came before the phantom of Xing and Danheng, saying, "Oh, I found your… shadows. Who could make Black Tower personally come out of retirement? Get ready—you two will be free labor for the simulated universe for the rest of your lives."

Finally, she stood before the phantom of the Fire Thief, tilted her head, and examined it closely: "What is this? It looks eerily sinister."

Just as she was speaking, the Fire Thief's body twitched suddenly.

Black Tower found it even more interesting: "Oh, it can move too? Who are you trying to scare?"

——

Offer blessings to a beautiful world.

"It's him! It's him! Ms. Black Tower, just rush in and find him later! Beat him up! Beat him so he daren't come out of Heichi for the rest of his life!"

Akuya brandished her fists with bared teeth and claws, wishing she could personally rush to Weng Faluosī to guide Ms. Black Tower, so she could go all-out the moment she entered!

"Heichi, Fire Thief, Aigelé… Akuya firmly believes that as long as Ms. Black Tower launches an attack, everything will be alright!"

"Huh… wait, something seems off." Hezhen narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing where Ms. Black Tower was, "Why is the entrance to Weng Faluosī so like the Genesis Vortex Core? And haven't you noticed? The totems of the twelve Titans in the heavens… are dim."

Now the sparks of the Rational and Death Titans have returned; the heavens should have only 'Negative World' and 'Sky' dim, as they ought to be.

How could this be?

Huihui also belatedly reacted: "Hmm, Hezhen, you're actually right. This is the entrance to Weng Faluosī, the place closest to the outside world, yet here stands a conflict monster."

After Ms. Black Tower passes through the vortex core, the first thing she should encounter is the Sky Titan Aigelé. Strangely, although this place is closest to Aigelé, the entrance holds a creation of Nicadoli.

"Moreover, the Fire Thief's shadow also appears at the entrance to Weng Faluosī, just like Xing and Danheng… Indeed, he is also an outsider to Weng Faluosī, originally not belonging to this world." Hezhen stroked his chin, analyzing seriously, "Do you still remember what Mimi said at the top of the Tree Garden? She said, 'The Fire Thief is practically memory itself,' and combined with his status as an outsider to Weng Faluosī…"

Hezhen slowly opened his eyes.

"... No doubt, his origins likely relate to the Flowing Light Memory Garden."

——

"It's either a projection or a dummy; there doesn't seem to be anything worth noting." Black Tower looked away from the Fire Thief toward the depths of the vortex core, "Next… how should we enter the interior of Weng Faluosī?"

Black Tower approached the strange pool, just about to ponder it, when a polite mechanical voice sounded from behind.

"We apologize, esteemed lady. You probably cannot proceed further."

"Who?"

Black Tower turned around to see a mechanical being with a large hole in its chest bowing to her.

"Your arrival was beyond my calculations, yet also a surprise. Unfortunately, I hadn't made sufficient preparations to properly entertain someone of your stature."

Black Tower crossed her arms and coldly said, "You don't intend to answer my question? Who are you?"

"I have had many identities, and will have many more in the future. But if you merely need a title, you might as well use my customary alias—Luku Erges, Laigushi."

——

Jujutsu Kaisen.

"Wait… why is it appearing here?!"

"Aaaah???"

"I can't understand! I can't understand, Gojo sensei!!"

Seeing Laigushi appear at the entrance to Weng Faluosī, Itadori felt his head spin, as if a special‑grade curse had kicked him hard in the face.

"How… how is this possible? He isn't a divine‑rite spectator, so why is he here?" Nitrati stared dumbfounded, smoke slipping from her fingers unnoticed, she blankly gazed at Laigushi then rubbed her eyes hard.

... It is Laigushi, indeed, the most honored divine‑rite spectator of the Senate.

"Can he… traverse the sky? Wait… why? Isn't the sky guarded by Aigelé? How did he get to this place?"

In an instant, countless questions exploded in everyone's minds, buzzing. Although this guy looks like an outsider, Itadori never imagined he could do such a thing.

The moment Laigushi appeared, everyone felt a strange, indescribable sensation.

It nodded to the Golden Heirs with modest propriety; when facing emissaries, it maintained a balanced courtesy. From it, one felt none of the 'fear', 'caution', or 'vigilance' usually evoked by an emissary.

Only equality.

It seemed that the two known 【Wisdom】 emissaries in the universe were nothing to it, just like the nobles and Golden Heirs it might meet on the Dawn Cloud Cliffs—essentially no different.
