Chapter 160: Release from Prison
"Didn't they say that the prison gate can only hold one person at a time?"
I stomped on the skulls under my feet in dissatisfaction and kicked one away.
The "dong dong dong" sound spread far away.
"So why on earth did I come in too?"
After I finished speaking, I realized that I am now the gender-reversed version of Gojo Satoru. In this world, conceptually, we are the same person.
Since the prison gate can lock him up, it can naturally lock me up as well.
Gojo Satoru looked up and around, opened his big blue eyes and analyzed: "Physical time does not pass here."
"So after we come in, we have no way of knowing how much time has passed in the outside world."
I took out my cell phone and checked. Sure enough, the time on the phone was 21:35.
"......." We're not really going to be trapped until the Death Migration begins, and then we both go out to fight Sukuna together, right?
Crouching down in frustration, I grabbed a skull and crushed it, the debris falling through my fingers like quicksand.
So I started to catch the next one.
"Are you planning to crush all the skulls here by yourself and then run away?" Gojo Satoru bent down and teased.
I looked up at him and said, "You are obviously very anxious too."
Gojo Satoru: "...Well...it's no use getting anxious now."
"Oh." I sighed, threw the skull away, and sat down on the ground.
If there is any benefit to running into the Prison Gate, it is probably that the use of cursed energy and techniques is restricted here. The six eyes do not need to passively grasp all the information about the curse, and the brain becomes much more relaxed.
"Yeah, yeah." Gojo Satoru sat down next to me and said, "I have nothing to do here anyway, so why don't you tell me about your business."
"My business?" I turned to look at him.
He didn't put on the blindfold. He blinked his beautiful eyes at me with an innocent look. "Yeah, didn't you say you were from a parallel world?"
"Ah, about this." I pulled my knees together without much interest, rested my head on my arms, and said lazily, "There's nothing much to say."
"I'm curious." Gojo Satoru tapped the corner of his eye and said, "Same eyes and looks, another me in the world."
I was silent for a while, then said, "It's just a very boring life. Either I go out on a mission to exorcise cursed spirits, or I fight with a bunch of people, and I have to deal with a bunch of feudal antiques that crawled out of their graves..."
I didn't lie about that.
After helping Shinji become the head of the Zenin family, things started to come one after another. Not only did he have to be on guard against his own people with ill intentions, but he also had to guard against and suppress the General Headquarters and the Kamo family.
No wonder that old man Zenin Naohito just ran away with a wine bottle after a fight with Shinji.
My face was about to break from laughing before I left.
Not only can he put down his burden and enjoy his retirement with peace of mind, but he can also come back from time to time to see how miserable we are. If it were me, I would be so happy.
"Eh, is that all?" Gojo Satoru asked, "Where are the principal and Nozomi?"
"The principal and Naturopath are all doing well." I squatted for a moment and said, "Except that they always dislike... dislike that I had a fight with Jie and smashed the bed and door of the dormitory."
"......So, Jie is indeed still alive in that world." Gojo Satoru chuckled.
"You saw that a long time ago, didn't you?" I asked him.
"Yeah." Gojo Satoru shrugged, "I could tell from the look on your face when you recognized that guy just now."
"What about the students?" he asked. "You are also a teacher in the college there, right?"
"More or less." I paused, and finally admitted, "They even disliked me."
"Eh~" Gojo Satoru muttered in a long tone, "Why am I always disliked by students wherever I go?"
"Except for Jay's part, our lives are no different than looking in the mirror!"
"......Yes." I turned my head to the other side, wiped my tears quietly with my sleeve, and said in a low voice, "I told you it's boring."
In the final analysis, this is not the world I am familiar with, and they are not the people I know. In the end, what is there to say...
Gojo Satoru finally quieted down for a while and stopped talking.
We sat quietly, and the mark on my wrist became hotter and hotter, as if it was burned by fire, as if it was urgently reminding me, craving my attention.
It's no good to keep dragging it out.
I sighed softly and raised my wrist.
A pale blue eye, slightly dimmer than Gojo Satoru's, appeared in front of him.
As for the area above the eyes, is it a completely closed...prison gate pattern?
"Why did this thing appear in your hand?"
Gojo Satoru curiously stretched out his hand and tentatively pointed at the border of the prison gate.
It was like a Rubik's Cube, suddenly twisted and deformed, and scattered into the shape that had bound Gojo Satoru in the beginning.
At the same time, the space under Gojo Satoru and I was standing was constantly changing. In the blink of an eye, I was standing in the station again.
"Wow!" I said, "So that's how it works."
"Why are you the only one to get out?" Gojo Satoru jumped up in the prison gate and complained, "It's not fair."
I looked down and saw that the prison gate that had originally bound Gojo Satoru had now closed and turned into a fist-sized cursed device, which smashed heavily on the ground, creating a large hole.
As if unable to digest the information of [Gojo Satoru], his eyes turned blue, his pupils dilated, and tears flowed out.
"How did you manage to talk to me when you were locked up in there?" I squatted down and stared at the prison door in confusion, "And it feels like..."
It feels like the sound is not coming from inside, but is transmitted directly to the brain.
"Ah..." Gojo Satoru came back to his senses and said, "It seems like you are sharing your senses with me."
"......Huh?" I think my brain seemed to freeze for a minute. "What?"
"Yes..." Gojo Satoru said firmly, "I can now see the outside world and hear the outside sounds, all from your perspective."
"And..." He suddenly grabbed his arm and squeezed it hard.
"Hiss... It hurts!" I touched my arm which suddenly started to hurt and said, "Hey, even if it's just to explain, you don't have to be so cruel! Don't you feel any pain yourself?"
"The sense of touch is not shared, but the sense of pain is shared!" said Gojo Satoru.
So... vision, hearing and pain are shared, and he can speak directly into my head...
Oh my god, this is really bad news.
“Can’t you just turn it off?” I grabbed my hair and scrunched it up into a ball, “It feels like you’re going to be too noisy in my head.”
"Eh..." He was silent for three seconds, then continued to chatter, "I tried it, it's a completely passive function, I can't turn it off. It seems like Yumenjiang is causing trouble, I guess the only way to change back is to remove the seal."
"So why did you destroy Amasakiboko and Kuroro in the first place?!"
I asked him irritably, "These two spell tools can forcibly cancel all spells. If one of them was still there, we wouldn't have fallen to this point."
"How could anyone have predicted this day would come..."
Gojo Satoru muttered back, "Besides, you did the same thing, and you're still criticizing me."
Me: “…………Okay.”
I forgot that I am the gender-changed Gojo Satoru from a parallel world.
Besides... he doesn't know the plot, so to say this to him is just being harsh and taking one's anger out on him...
I even feel a little guilty. It's not easy for this silly kid...
At this time, Gojo Satoru suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I feel like my cursed power has recovered halfway, let me try."
The prison gate that was originally smashed on the ground suddenly floated up and flew to the level of my eyes.
"Wu-chan Wu-chan, come closer."
I moved closer and saw Gojo Satoru standing in the prison gate. He jumped up and waved excitedly, "Wow, so this is what it feels like to see yourself through other people's eyes. So cool~"
"As expected of me, I'm so handsome!"
Me: “………” My guilt completely disappeared.
The noose was still lying on the ground.
I took out my cell phone and looked at it. It was 21:42 p.m., so there was still time.
"Gojo Satoru." I took a deep breath and said, "We can deal with these things later. Let's rescue the others first."
