Chapter 386: The Backup Plan, the Disembodied Spirit
Reigen Arataka leaned against his motorcycle, smoking incessantly; his decadence and desolation made it difficult for ordinary Reincarnators to even recognize his identity.
But this did not include those Reincarnators who possessed special abilities in prophecy and divination.
The woman holding a crystal ball in her palm wore jeans and chewed gum, her twin tails dyed pink on one side and green on the other.
"Hey, I found that guy, you guys come over."
She pressed the microphone on her ear, calling her teammates casually.
Her gaze scanned Reigen Arataka from under her sunglasses, lingering slightly; it was a pity that the man's current decadent appearance no longer matched her aesthetic.
Otherwise, she could have turned him into her new collection after extracting all the benefits from him.
Soon, one person riding a rather old-fashioned Harley motorcycle, wearing sunglasses, appeared in her field of vision.
Another person came sprinting from the wilderness, stepping over the withered wild grass.
Seeing the three of them appear, Reigen Arataka showed no reaction; he neither chose to run away nor asked these people about their purpose in finding him.
He stood in place just like a walking corpse.
After the three arrived before him, he crushed the cigarette butt with his fingers and spoke.
"You guys are that kind of people, aren't you..."
Reigen Arataka was actually very intelligent, a person who was almost omnipotent aside from having no Superpower; as Ability Users kept appearing to find him, and their words kept probing whether they could find Kageyama Shigeo,
he realized that this group likely came from the same "organization," and their goal was to obtain some information from him.
He had, without exception, entrusted these people to kill his disciple.
Precisely because such things happened over and over again, Reigen Arataka suffered considerable torment inside.
When he made his request once again, these three did not leave as he had expected.
The woman chewing gum suddenly sneered.
"This guy actually wants to use this method to solve the problem of Mob (Kageyama Shigeo), huh? Tsk, this teacher really isn't much."
Her tone was mocking, and the look she gave Reigen Arataka was full of condescension.
That playfulness, the look of treating him like a mouse to be toyed with, instantly reminded Reigen Arataka of those guys from half a year ago.
"You are..."
He stood up abruptly, with such force that he knocked over his own motorcycle.
"You guys, what exactly do you want to do? Where did you take Kageyama Ritsu and those children!"
The woman blew a bubble indifferently; she didn't actually know how those people had executed the previous mission, but she could guess the general idea.
To provoke Kageyama Shigeo into turning dark, it was nothing more than taking advantage of when the other party was tied up by something else to abuse or kidnap the people Kageyama Shigeo cherished.
If one wanted to do it more subtly, one could also do some foreshadowing, such as sending someone to join Reigen Arataka and Kageyama Shigeo's camp first, farming enough Reputation, and then striking at those people after Reigen Arataka spouted some "truth, goodness, and beauty" platitudes.
This sense of betrayal, contrast, and loss of morality, coupled with the pain of losing loved ones, was enough to completely tear apart the heart of a teenager like Kageyama Shigeo, who was already unstable.
The woman felt satisfied that she had been able to come up with such a plan in just a few seconds.
The corners of her mouth curled up in a cruel arc.
After all, Reincarnators are just such creatures.
Camp?
Reputation?
Recognition?
Everything is just a necessary step to farm rewards; Reincarnators do not invest any so-called true feelings into such things.
As long as there is a higher profit, everything can be destroyed at any time.
This is the choice of the "most competent" Reincarnators at present.
Reigen Arataka seemed to see that face he loathed once again; he punched the woman in the face.
Bang!
The man riding the Harley motorcycle stepped over, voluntarily offering his face to take Reigen Arataka's blow.
Reigen Arataka's fist immediately began to bleed, but the man had no reaction at all.
"Reigen Arataka... what a weak fist."
He then grabbed Reigen Arataka by the collar, lifted him up, and raised his head high, intending to smash the other's head with his own.
For the man codenamed Moke, his second favorite way to kill was this method of using his head to smash the other's head, letting brains and blood splatter all over his face.
"Hey, Moke, wait a second, if we just kill this guy, the Singularity level probably won't be very high."
"Think of a way to make him useful; interrogate him to see what other named guys' locations he knows."
"The reward given by that guy, the Tree Shepherd, is decent, but it's still a bit lacking when split between the three of us."
The man, completely wrapped in a black bodysuit and black mask, spoke in a muffled voice; he looked very slender, standing to one side with his arms crossed, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
He carried a black Tachi on his back.
37, this was his codename, and also the number of Reincarnators he had killed; he belonged to the type who would constantly change his codename.
The woman Momo impatiently reached out, and a powerful Spirit instantly captured Reigen Arataka.
She was just about to exert her ability to search his brain.
But she suddenly heard a soft laugh.
"Oh my, oh my, our host really did anticipate this."
"You guys, you really won't even let this poor teacher go..."
Frivolous and Arrogance; just by hearing the voice, one knew the other party was exceptionally confident in his own ability and did not take them seriously at all.
Momo bit through her gum and looked up, seeing a tall man in a black high-collared male high school uniform standing in the sky, though she didn't know when he had arrived.
He was leaning down at this moment, his silver-white hair and black blindfold quite recognizable.
"Gojo Satoru? Or a cosplay-type Avatar?!"
Momo did not make a judgment at the first moment; there are indeed quite a few Reincarnators in the space who will set their Avatar as a certain Plot Character.
This kind of setting is also quite clever, and at times, it has an unexpectedly confusing effect.
Gojo Satoru flipped and landed from the air; he shoved his hands into his pockets, walked a few steps, blocked the front of Reigen Arataka, looked at the few people, and spoke.
"As a teacher deeply loved by students, I can't just pretend I didn't see this~"
He shamelessly boasted about himself.
Reigen Arataka looked around; he did not see anyone appear, but from the movements of those three people at this moment, he also judged that something like a Spirit Body had probably appeared.
Snap!
Momo snapped her fingers, and her Psychokinesis exploded instantly.
But Gojo Satoru stood where he was, his smile unchanged, and he was not affected in the slightest.
The woman frowned, realizing the situation was somewhat abnormal.
Moke had already raised his right hand at this time, his fist rapidly undergoing Transformation; his body turned into silvery-white liquid metal, and in a moment, it transformed into a long blade, which he swung with force.
Clang!
The silvery-white long blade also stopped in front of Gojo Satoru.
"Be careful, it really seems to be Gojo Satoru's Limitless!"
Momo reacted and shouted a warning, and 37 immediately threw down several smoke bombs.
The moment that toxic smoke, mixed with various poisons, began to diffuse from the ground.
Gojo Satoru had already formed a hand seal.
"Domain Expansion: Infinite Void~"
Having had the battle with Hongchen, Gojo Satoru deeply realized that although this group of people's abilities were bizarre, his own Infinite Void... was quite useful.
