Chapter 2027 Mount Sukuna, the Demon of Sukuna
Chapter 2027 Mount Sukuna, the Demon of Sukuna
Perhaps because Earth's civilization differed greatly from Lucia's original civilization, or perhaps to avoid being reminded of past traumas, Lucia and Zara settled down on the Time-Space Island. Every day, they received language instruction from the Mefilas aliens, striving to achieve barrier-free communication with humans as soon as possible.
I wonder if they'll be as devastated as foreigners learning Chinese when they learn about the richness of the human language system.
But that's a story for another time. For a long time, they didn't plan to leave Time Island.
Even information about their original civilization was written down, handed over to Gu Chen for translation, and then sent to TPC for archiving.
They cherish their current life and feel it is infinitely wonderful.
In contrast, the other person's life seemed to have fallen into darkness.
On Time Island, Shinjo Tetsuo sat listlessly on the rocks by the sea, staring blankly at the boundless ocean before him. He didn't even notice when Gu Chen walked up to him.
It wasn't until a chilling sensation seeped into his body from his cheek that Tetsuo Shinjo's lost soul was brought back to its senses.
"Hiss... an advisor?!"
Shinjo Tetsuo suddenly turned around and saw Gu Chen standing next to him with a bottle of iced drink and a mischievous smile on his face.
"Hey, what are you thinking about all by yourself here?"
As Gu Chen spoke, he handed the drink in his hand to Shinjo Tetsuo and sat down next to him.
"Sigh..." Tetsuo Shinjo first sighed heavily, then took the drink and drank several mouthfuls before saying leisurely, "Cola, I wish it were beer."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen immediately said irritably, "It's already a favor that I don't give you canned coffee, and you're still nitpicking with me."
As he spoke, Gu Chen, as if by magic, pulled out a can of frozen beer from behind him and handed it to Tetsuo Shinjo.
"No... Advisor, you actually have wine!"
Tetsuo Shinjo stared wide-eyed in surprise, taking the ice-cold beer from Gu Chen's hand with some disbelief, and then complained, "I was just surprised that you had drinks here. I didn't expect that the consultant, who always likes to drink coffee, would also stock up on these things."
Without any hesitation, he put down the cola he had just taken a few sips of and started drinking beer heartily.
Tetsuo Shinjo was clearly preoccupied; he downed the entire can of ice-cold beer in one gulp without even taking a breath.
"Ah!!!" After chugging down a bottle of beer, Tetsuo Shinjo let out a triumphant shout, then exclaimed, "That feels much better."
Gu Chen, who was watching Shinjo Tetsuo from the side, asked again, "So, what are you thinking about?"
“It’s Mayumi.” Tetsuo Shinjo put down his empty beer can and continued, “Her boyfriend is back from abroad. I met him yesterday.”
Without waiting for Gu Chen to ask further questions, Shinjo Tetsuo continued, "When she was little, she would always run into my arms and cry whenever something happened. But later, she will go into the arms of another man."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen understood what had happened.
Because he took the Lightning Man with him beforehand, the attack on global flights by Gazort did not happen again. Mayumi Shinjo's boyfriend, Takuma Aoki, also returned to Japan smoothly on flight 206 and met with his brother-in-law, Tetsuo Shinjo.
Therefore, Tetsuo Shinjo also realized that his sister, Mayumi Shinjo, had found happiness in her life.
This made Tetsuo Shinjo feel both happy and disappointed, and reluctant to part ways.
Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but express the same sentiment as Madoka Daigo in the original story: "So you're like an old father marrying off his daughter. But it's probably because you kept crying in your older brother's arms that things got into trouble."
“Sigh…” Tetsuo Shinjo sighed heavily again and agreed, “That’s true.”
Tetsuo Shinjo wasn't upset about his younger sister getting married; he was just having trouble adjusting to it.
Immediately, Gu Chen patted Shinjo Tetsuo on the shoulder, stood up and said, "In that case, let's continue today's special training. Daigo is going on a date with Rena today, so you'll be in charge of all the monsters today."
"Huh?!"
Tetsuo Shinjo exclaimed in surprise, but he had no right to refuse and was immediately pulled away by Gu Chen for special training.
Ah, what a beautiful day! I just wonder when I'll be able to attend Mayumi Shinjo's wedding.
That being said, his younger sister is already talking about marriage, but his older brother, Tetsuo Shinjo, hasn't made any move at all, which is really a bit unreasonable.
For a moment, Gu Chen's thoughts began to wander.
……
The next day, Gu Chen went to Sawai Soichiro's office again.
"Director, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
Gu Chen got straight to the point right away.
"What's wrong? It's not like the Ebloon cells thing again, is it?"
Sawai Soichiro's expression immediately became somewhat tense; he hadn't forgotten what Gu Chen had said when he took the initiative to visit last time.
"No, no." Gu Chen immediately waved his hand, then handed the documents he had brought with him to Sawai Soichiro, saying, "It's about the legend of Sukuna Mountain."
"Suna Mountain?"
Sawai Soichiro raised an eyebrow, then reached for his reading glasses on the desk and put them on while flipping through the documents Gu Chen had handed him.
Before long, Sawai Soichiro had learned about the legend of Mount Sukuna, and then frowned as he looked at Gu Chen, asking in confusion, "Advisor, do you mean that there really is a Sukuna Oni sealed in Mount Sukuna?"
Gu Chen nodded.
Immediately, Sawai Soichiro's expression turned serious.
With the legend of Gakuma as evidence and Gu Chen as his endorsement, Sawai Soichiro quickly came to believe in the authenticity of the legend of Sukuna Mountain.
Immediately, he said in a deep voice, "So... Sukuna-ki is going to break the seal and reappear in the world to harm humanity?"
However, to his surprise, Gu Chen shook his head and said, "It's not that serious. The seal that Ida Keiryu set up back then is still very strong even now. We just need to be careful that the sealed object doesn't have any accidents. We don't need to worry about Sukuna Oni's resurgence in the short term."
Upon hearing this, Sawai Soichiro immediately grasped a key point: "In a short time?"
Gu Chen nodded and explained, "Yes, Sukuna was sealed rather than killed. During the long years he was sealed, his resentment continued to grow. It is estimated that one day in the future, Ida Keiryu's seal will no longer be able to contain Sukuna, and it will break free."
