Setting Out for Sendai Colony!

Setting Out for Sendai Colony! "Huh, me?"

Jie Jian pointed at himself in surprise. He hadn't expected Hajime Kashimo to ask that.

"Is there anyone else here?" Hajime Kashimo shot Jie Jian an annoyed look.

He bluntly asked,

"Why would a jujutsu sorcerer like you join the Culling Game?"

The Culling Game was extremely dangerous. Any jujutsu sorcerer risked dying.

In Hajime Kashimo's view, aside from the unlucky bastards Kenjaku had marked in advance and forced into the Culling Game, no one would willingly join it.

And he could tell that Jie Jian was not a jujutsu sorcerer modified by Kenjaku. He was a genuine, purely wild sorcerer.

With the intelligence network Jie Jian had displayed, he was definitely not some clueless novice.

He hadn't stumbled into the barrier by accident. He had entered it of his own accord to take part in the Culling Game.

Hajime Kashimo truly couldn't understand it. Jie Jian was not a battle maniac, so why had he joined the Culling Game?

Having his lack of strength pointed out so bluntly by Hajime Kashimo, Jie Jian scratched his head awkwardly.

"Ahahaha, well... it's complicated."

Jie Jian did not know how to explain it. He couldn't exactly say that he had posted a comment online and been forcibly dragged here to fight Sukuna, could he?

After thinking for a long time, Jie Jian could only say,

"I have a reason I absolutely must challenge Sukuna."

"Challenge Sukuna? You?"

Hajime Kashimo felt like he had heard something hilarious. Unable to hold it in, he burst out laughing.

"Hey!"

Jie Jian shouted, his face flushing red as veins bulged on his forehead. He argued,

"A challenge isn't only about strength... There are many ways for jujutsu sorcerers to fight."

Then came even more incomprehensible remarks, things like "an intelligence war is still a war" and "throwing a shuriken from eight hundred miles away counts as a challenge too."

That made Hajime Kashimo laugh heartily, and the air was suddenly filled with cheer.

Time flew by, and night soon fell over the Culling Game barriers.

After another afternoon of searching, Hajime Kashimo finally gathered one hundred points after encountering a group of three jujutsu sorcerers traveling together.

Looking at the 106 points on the score panel, Hajime Kashimo smiled expectantly.

"Gold Beetle."

"I'm here."

The Gold Beetle immediately appeared at his command, circling beside Hajime Kashimo as it waited for instructions.

"I want to add a rule. Spend one hundred points to let all Players May Freely Enter and Leave Barriers in every Culling Game colony!"

"Understood. Verifying new rule... The new rule does not conflict with existing rules. Addition approved."

The next moment, every player within a Culling Game barrier received an announcement from the Golden Bug.

[Ding dong ding dong! A player has added a new rule to the Culling Game.

Rule 9: All players may freely enter and leave all Culling Game barriers.]

Every player wore a shocked expression.

Adding a rule required one hundred points!

That meant killing twenty jujutsu sorcerers. It was only the first day of the Culling Game, yet someone had already gathered that many. How could they not be shocked?

At that moment, Kenjaku, who was hiding somewhere as he oversaw the Culling Game, raised his head in surprise and looked into the distance.

"A new rule was added? Who gathered one hundred points so quickly?"

Kenjaku had not expected a player to gather the one hundred points needed to add a rule on the very first day.

Although Kenjaku had started the Culling Game, he did not have complete control over it. At best, he was an administrator.

In the original storyline, Hajime Kashimo had spent one hundred points to add a rule making every player's name and score public.

But Hajime Kashimo had not added that rule this time, so Kenjaku had no way of checking other people's scores to find out who had added it.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Since he could not figure it out, he simply would not bother. In any case, this rule would not pose any threat to his plans.

Besides, perhaps something interesting would happen now that the rule had been added.

Tokyo No. 2 Colony.

After a busy day, Master Kashimo looked at the newly added rule and nodded in satisfaction.

The sky was already dark. He planned to rest for the night, then officially set out for Sendai Colony tomorrow to challenge the Sendai Four Heavenly Kings Jie Jian had mentioned.

On the other side, Jie Jian was also eagerly anticipating the scene.

He had seen plenty of online posts evaluating Hajime Kashimo's combat strength.

There had been no shortage of analyses on whether Hajime Kashimo could defeat the Sendai Four Heavenly Kings.

But tomorrow, all those discussions would finally have an answer!

And he, Jie Jian, would be there to witness it!

Just thinking about seeing Hajime Kashimo battle the Sendai Four Heavenly Kings made Jie Jian feel incredibly excited.

It was rare to witness a battle between powerful fighters with his own eyes.

Even if he died this time, it would still be worth the price of admission!

However, just as Jie Jian was brimming with anticipation, a problem suddenly occurred to him.

In the original storyline, the Sendai Four Heavenly Kings' abilities had a certain countering relationship, eventually creating a four-way deadlock where none of them could do anything to the others.

By the time the rule allowing all players to freely enter and leave barriers was added, the Sendai Four Heavenly Kings had already been plowed through by the Pure Love War god, Yuta Okkotsu!

Dhruv Lakdawalla had been instantly killed like a speed bump, Kurourushi had been exorcised, Ryu Ishigori had gotten his fill after a fierce battle with Yuta Okkotsu, and Takako Uro had behaved herself after being taught a lesson.

Therefore, after the rule allowing players to freely enter and leave was added, Ryu Ishigori and Takako Uro had no particular reason to leave.

But things were different now!

Ryu Ishigori was currently looking everywhere for someone to fight, Takako Uro only wanted to find a safe place to live for herself, and Kurourushi had been beaten so badly by Dhruv Lakdawalla's technique that it could only hibernate to avoid battle.

Once the barriers' restrictions on players disappeared, the first two were hard to say, but Kurourushi would most likely run away immediately!

Right now, the only thing restricting those two humans and one cursed spirit was the Culling Game rule stating that "if a player's score does not change within nineteen days of participating or scoring, their cursed technique will be removed and they will die."

But with their abilities, they must have scored long ago.

Without that rule restraining them, they could leave the barrier completely and go anywhere they wanted!

The change in Jie Jian's expression caught Hajime Kashimo's attention.

Just as he was about to rest, Hajime Kashimo turned to Jie Jian. "What's wrong? Why does your expression look so strange?"

Jie Jian stiffly looked at Hajime Kashimo, forcing an awkward yet polite smile onto his face.

"Um... Deer God, there's something I might need to tell you?"

"What is it?"

Hajime Kashimo frowned as he asked. Jie Jian calling him Deer God gave him a bad feeling.

"It's about that new rule you added. It applies to everyone.

The Sendai Four Heavenly Kings might not stay in Sendai Colony. They might run away."

"What did you say?!"
