"Tsk! Shen Er actually plotted against me!"

When Gojo Satoru woke up on the space station, he realized that there was something wrong with the drink he had been drinking; it wasn't a beverage, it was alcohol!

He saw what Fuheshel was doing but didn't think much of it. Who knew that the guy would switch the drink for alcohol?

He couldn't find 666 in the room, and had no idea where it had gone off to.

[666, have you finished what I asked you to do?]

[Yes, it's all done.]

666 is exchanging feelings with 888, trying to sell Sukuna's finger at a higher price.

I'm here at 888. Oh, by the way, Merlin left you a letter.

He said you don't need to go look for him anymore; everything you want to know is in the letter.

Gojo Satoru:? ? ?

How did Merlin know he was looking for him? And why hasn't he shown himself? Is he hiding something?

He picked up the white envelope on the table, opened it, and a ghostly image was projected onto the letter.

He was stunned when he saw the phantom, and many images flashed through his mind.

The illusory figure waved to Gojo Satoru and said with a gentle smile, "Yo, Satoru, long time no see!"

"Jay?"

Gojo Satoru's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that if he made a loud noise, the illusory Natsume would disappear.

The illusory figure Xia Youjie was clearly the leader of the Panxing Sect after he became its leader, and he was wearing five cassocks.

Xia Youjie smiled and nodded: "It's me. I bet you have a lot of questions you want to ask right now."

"What's your situation right now?" What Gojo Satoru really wanted to know was what had happened to Natsumi Yuuki.

Is Jay still alive? Or rather, is his soul still alive?

Xia Youjie knew Wutiao Wu and knew what he wanted to ask: "I'm fine, don't worry."

“If you were alright, you wouldn’t have appeared in front of me like this, Jay. Don’t lie to me.”

Gojo's expression turned cold. How could Xia Youjie be considered alright in this state?

He was certain that Xia Youjie was dead, and that Jie was now in a spirit state, but why was Jie here?

Xia Youjie was a little helpless; Wu was not as easy to fool as before.

[Okay, I do have a problem with my current state. After all, I'm dead, only my soul remains.]

[But don't worry, Merlin helped stabilize my soul, it's not a big problem.]

Gojo Satoru's expression softened slightly; he still had a lot of faith in Merlin's abilities.

His guess was correct; he was originally Gojo Satoru, but for some reason became Jiang Bubai.

"You're here to clear up my confusion, right, Jay? What exactly is going on?"

He had a vague feeling about this when he first went to the world of sorcery.

The natural and familiar feeling he had when interacting with people from the college couldn't be achieved simply by having a memory.

When he faced Gao Zhuanwu, it was as if he were facing another version of himself.

He admitted that his acting skills were not yet that superb.

Furthermore, he was able to master all of Gojo Satoru's skills from the very beginning.

Even if he had practiced in the system space, such a speed of learning is very abnormal.

Xia Youjie chuckled softly, "[Wu, there's no doubt, you are Gojo Wu, my dearest friend.]"

[After you were sealed by the prison gates, even the experts at the high school were ultimately unable to break the seal.]

[Then a major change occurred in our world; the emergence of the Death Journey made the existence of cursed spirits known to the entire world.]

Gojo Satoru was taken aback; this development was different from the plot he knew.

Cursed spirits are born from negative human emotions, so their existence has always been kept secret from ordinary people.

This is to prevent ordinary people from developing fear and negative emotions after learning about the existence of cursed spirits, thus preventing the creation of cursed spirits themselves.

Everyone in the world knows that if cursed spirits exist, negative human emotions will continuously generate cursed spirits.

No one knows how terrifying a cursed spirit born from absorbing the negative emotions of people all over the world can be.

As if knowing what Gojo Satoru was thinking, Natsumi Yuki continued.

[Humanity's fear of cursed spirits gave birth to the powerful Special-Grade Cursed Spirit - Fear.]

[At first, fear can be exorcised by sorcerers, but it will soon reabsorb human fear and be reborn, growing ever stronger.]

To completely eliminate fear, most of humanity would have to be killed, but that's impossible.

[In the end, humanity has become nothing more than playthings for the cursed spirits.]

[The high school was also destroyed under the siege of the cursed spirits, and later Merlin passed through our world.]

[He discovered the Prison Gate and my soul, which was attached to it. I asked him to help break the seal on the Prison Gate.]

[There's no concept of time within the Prison Gate, and there may be other things we don't know about. In any case, you didn't wake up after leaving the Prison Gate.]

[In the end, Merlin extracted your soul and placed it in his former world, while your body remained with him.]

[You know what happened next; Merlin arranged for you to be bound to the system.]

After Xia Youjie finished speaking, he quietly looked at Wujiao Wu. Of course, the truth of the matter was not as simple as he described.

But the matter is in the past, and Wu doesn't need to know those details.

"You mean, this was originally my body, and the gacha pull was just Merlin returning my body to me?"

Gojo reviewed his thoughts. His summary was spot on; he wasn't wrong at all.

[Yes, what's wrong?] Xia Youjie looked at Wujiao Wu with confusion.

"The system also charged me a body construction fee of one billion energy points?"

Wu Tiao Wu remembered that 666 said that it cost him 1 billion energy points to revive and 1 billion energy points to build his body. The remaining 3 billion energy points were the profits he needed to earn for the system.

So at the start of the game, he owed the system 5 billion energy points. After paying it off, he could choose to unbind himself from 666.

He didn't unbind himself from 666. Whether or not he goes to the mission world is up to him; there's no obligation.

But since the body originally belonged to him, where did the body construction fee come from?

[Ahem... Well, actually it really has nothing to do with the system.]

[Merlin is managing the expenses incurred by your body; he had the system collect them on your behalf.]

Xia Youjie knew that Wutiao Wu owed an enormous debt, but he was just a weak soul and couldn't help even if he wanted to.

However, Wu really lived up to expectations and quickly paid off his debts, regaining his freedom.

"Oh, I see." Gojo nodded in understanding; he had thought the system had tricked him.

"Did Merlin say how to revive you? How many energy points would you need to revive you?"

If he can be resurrected, then Naje can too, right?

He can earn as many energy points as he needs; Jay doesn't need to worry about energy points.

My situation is different from yours; I died long ago.

[Wu, stop worrying about me. Go live your own life.]

Xia Youjie gave Gojo Satoru a gentle smile, then turned into starlight and disappeared.

Gojo Satoru stared silently at the spot where Natsumi had disappeared for a long time before slowly smiling.

"Jay, all my choices have meaning. You said that, right?"
