He felt that he had said that name with a much gentler tone last night…
At this moment.
[8:05]
Inside a villa in the suburbs.
"Zhang Nian! Nian'er! Come down for breakfast, I made your favorite century egg and lean pork congee today, and I didn't mean to shout at you yesterday."
Lu Ya shouted loudly towards the second floor, but there was no response, after all, Zhang Nian had already prepared her things and run away at this moment.
"She left with Yuuki, two hours ago."
Zhang Hao, who was at the dining table, picked up a spoon and ate the congee in his bowl, and said, "Yuuki is estimated to be going to the restricted area on the side of Xizang now, and it's also good to let that stupid girl see the cruelty of the jujutsu world, and then she'll settle down and study."
"Pfft! What?! A restricted area?!"
Looking at the captain, who had started eating, Zhao Yang, who had also picked up a spoon, spat out the rice that he had just put in his mouth, and said in surprise, "I had originally thought that it was outrageous enough that that kid dared to go and retrieve a cursed tool from the hands of a Special Grade, but he's directly given up on treatment now?!"
"I'll go and chase that girl back right now."
Zhuge An quickly got up, and was just preparing to drive and chase after her, when he was stopped by Zhang Hao, who said, "Let her go, and wasn't I also going against my parents' wishes and plunging into the jujutsu world alone back then, and she's just repeating my old path."
"But…"
"I know, Special Grade hypothetical cursed spirit - Snow King, but I've already been trying to stop her for four years, and what can I do if she still wants to do this, and I'll just go with the flow."
"..."
The field became silent, and just as everyone was silent, Zhao Yang was the only one who was still secretly drinking the century egg and lean pork congee in his bowl, and it wasn't because he didn't care, but it was because the congee in his bowl was too fragrant.
...
The next day.
Yuuki and the two got off the plane, and arrived in Xizang.
"Tsk, it's worthy of being a place that has had heavy snow all year round for the past decade, it's so cold, achoo! I knew that I should have brought some clothes."
Zhang Nian, who had come to Xizang for the first time, hadn't prepared anything, and her body had started to tremble as soon as she had gotten off the plane. There was a thin layer of snow accumulated on the ground, but the sky was sunny, but snowflakes would occasionally fall from the sky, and the bone-chilling cold wind howled on the street, and it caused the girl, who was wearing short sleeves, shorts, and running shoes, to start to shiver.
Looking intently, Mount Everest was shrouded in fog at this moment, and thick clouds covered the sun, and these falling snowflakes seemed to be floating from there.
She had heard that it had still been a tourist attraction that had sunshine all day long and rarely snowed dozens of years ago, but it had now turned into a hell that had snow all day long and didn't see the sun; there were few people coming and going on the street, and it was said that most of them had already moved to other cities, and only a few people still chose to live here, and she had still heard this from those gossipy classmates.
And she didn't know what had caused this heavy snow that had lasted for dozens of years, after all, her brother and the others didn't say, and normal people wouldn't go and understand this thing, but it was very likely that it had been made by the Special Grade cursed spirit in Yuuki's mouth…
After looking at Mount Everest, Zhang Nian looked around again, and she found that Yuuki, who should have been next to her, had disappeared without a trace at this moment, and because her body was trembling, even her voice was trembling;
"This guy… wouldn't he have run off by himself…"
Just as she had finished complaining, she saw a familiar figure walk out from a clothing store.
Yuuki was holding an oxygen tank in his left hand, and he was carrying three bags in his right hand, and he walked towards Zhang Nian, who was waiting for him, and handed over the things in his hand, and said, "It looks like the situation here is even worse than I had imagined, and I'm going to start entering Mount Everest now, and what do you say? I suggest that you stay here and don't move, after all, you'll really die, and I'm not joking with you."
"I…"
Zhang Nian, who had taken the oxygen tank and the bags, looked at the things inside the bags, and found that it was a set of winter clothes and shoes, and she also looked at Yuuki, who was in front of her, and he was still wearing that set of short sleeves, shorts, and running shoes, and the baseball cap on his head had been covered by light snow, and you couldn't see the eyes under the sunglasses, and he didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all…
Zhang Nian even wanted to touch his skin at this moment, and see if the blood in his body was still warm.
"I want to go, and I'll protect myself, and you don't need to worry about me at all, and thank you for this set of clothes…"
The girl's voice was getting smaller and smaller, and her arms, which had started to turn white from the cold, tightly hugged the clothes in her arms, and it was as if she was seeking warmth from inside;
'Ah! He's really so gentle.'
Unknowingly, Zhang Nian had started to sigh in her heart; but in Yuuki's eyes, she had been frozen to the point that her brain had started to short-circuit at this moment, and the clothes had been bought for her to wear, and not for her to hug…
He raised his head and looked at the sun, and it was clearly sunny, but there was light snow falling, and he could sense that it was like this within a few kilometers, and that meant that the snow was coming from Mount Everest.
Although he couldn't see that far, and he couldn't sense that far of a distance, he had a mouth, and he could ask someone with good eyesight to find out the situation at this moment, and he asked, "Zhang Nian, is there a thick layer of clouds on Mount Everest at this moment, and I'm a bit nearsighted, so I can't see that far."
"Mm, it's said that it has been snowing heavily on Mount Everest for dozens of years, and it hasn't stopped until now, and it should have been made by that Special Grade cursed spirit that you mentioned before."
Zhang Nian put on the clothes, and put on the pants and cotton shoes, and she felt much better now, and the weather here was really too strange, and it was sunny, but it was still ridiculously cold, and the cold wind was like it was piercing her bones, and it was caressing her skin.
"Is that so."
Yuuki wasn't afraid of the cold, but these thick clothes would affect him from wielding his sword, and that Special Grade hypothetical cursed spirit had also truly occupied the right time and place at this moment, and it was feared that even a Special Grade sorcerer would stumble after going in.
It was like Jogo was stationed on Mount Fuji, and it would be fun if he caused the volcano to erupt, and it was feared that even Gojo-sensei would feel that it was tricky to handle after going over there.
His 『Limitless Technique』 could be broken, it was just that it was relatively difficult, and he had to use power that was comparable to that technique to break that layer of 『Infinity』.
The simplest method was to unfold his 『Domain Expansion』 inside, and give himself a buff; a 100% hit effect, and a state increase caused by environmental factors.
It was the so-called congenital, and a person's technique affected the domain that they would unfold in the end, but whether they could unfold their domain was related to their own inner world, and it was only when these two were combined into one that it was the true 『Domain Expansion』.
Jogo's domain was similar to an active volcano, and Mount Fuji was an active volcano, and as long as he controlled the magma inside, he would almost be in an invincible state, and other than not having a 100% hit effect from his domain, the magma was inexhaustible, and he could always break through Gojo-sensei's 『Limitless Technique』.
And the Special Grade cursed spirit inside Mount Everest seemed to be thinking like this, and since he couldn't beat you after going out, then he would just wait for you to come in here, and whoever came would die, and he was invincible.
But this wasn't the reason why Yuuki was afraid, but it was that he had started to estimate how many points the system would give him for killing this cursed spirit;
Based on the current situation, it would be at least four hundred.
"I'm leaving first, and you can follow if you want to come, but don't blame me if you die inside."
Yuuki grabbed the strap of the black backpack behind him with his right hand, and walked towards Mount Everest alone, and his eyes revealed a bit of anticipation.
Looking at Yuuki, who was leaving, Zhang Nian hesitated for a moment and then ran over;
Being afraid of death… didn't seem to be a reason for her to escape at this moment, and she wanted to become stronger, and she didn't want to cause her brother to suddenly leave one day because of her incompetence.
"Huff… huff…"
In the vast sea of snow, the visible range was less than two meters, and the howling cold wind roared, and a few black figures were traveling in this desolate place.
"This is terrible, and where exactly is this Snow King? I heard that those old guys from the Japanese jujutsu higher-ups still want me to hand over the cursed tool? That's really laughable, and they're just a small country, and I'll destroy them sooner or later."
A man, who was wearing a black robe, and had covered his body, and had a cross-shaped scar on his left face, said arrogantly in his mouth, and four strangely shaped men in black were following behind him, and their bodies were covered by the robes that they were wearing, and some were abnormally tall, and some were abnormally small, and their faces were covered by hats, and they didn't say a word, and were silently following behind the man;
The largest one was five meters tall. The smallest one was only a dozen centimeters tall, and you could tell at a glance that, other than the man in front, the ones behind weren't human.
"『Special Grade hypothetical cursed spirit - Snow King』, an existence that has been tacitly approved by the jujutsu higher-ups, because annihilating him might cause the headquarters' jujutsu sorcerers to suffer heavy casualties, and they can only classify this place as a forbidden area, and have the local residents evacuate, and to put it bluntly, it's still because those guys' strength is too bad, and watch me solo him with this 『Spear of Heaven』."
Lu Xiaoyao's right hand poked out from the robe, and you could see that his thick arm was covered in scars, and this was a symbol of his life of fighting, and he was holding a slightly damaged short sword in his hand.
It was different from a normal short sword, and this was a two-edged weapon, and it was somewhat similar to the place where a sika deer's antlers forked, and one head was long, and one head was short, but the short section had been broken off at this moment, and there was a ring at the hilt of the sword, but even like this, it still couldn't affect the quality of this Special Grade cursed tool, and the technique that was stored inside.
『Forcibly invalidate techniques that are being activated』;
After he killed all of the 『Snow King』, 『God of Slaughter』, and 『Night Parade of One Hundred Demons』, he would use it to break open the barrier that was sealing the 『Mother River』, and although this might cause millions or thousands of people to die, this couldn't stop him from becoming the number one in the world;
The most free person.
He walked towards the highest point of Mount Everest in the vast snow mountain, and although he didn't know where the 『Snow King』 lived, he would definitely personally entertain the "guests" who had suddenly entered his backyard…
...
"Ah, achoo! It's so cold…!"
Even after putting on her winter clothes, she could only guarantee that the temperature in her body wouldn't be lost too quickly in this bone-chilling wind, and -15 degree Celsius weather.
Zhang Nian looked at Yuuki, who was as if nothing had happened, in front of her, and he hadn't said a word since they had entered the forbidden area, and he was moving forward towards the high point of the snow mountain.
Although this place was known as a forbidden area, she hadn't seen anyone patrolling, and it was just surrounded by a high iron mesh wall.
In fact, the main reason was that the range of the forbidden area was too large, and even if there were thousands of people patrolling, there would still be a certain period of time that was a gap, and Yuuki and the others had just jumped over the iron mesh during this gap of a few dozen seconds, and they naturally hadn't seen the soldiers and jujutsu sorcerers, who were patrolling while wearing thick clothes.
'He, doesn't he really feel cold?'
Zhang Nian stretched out her left hand and wanted to touch Yuuki's body in front of her, but she was suddenly stopped and said, "Don't just focus on looking at me, and you have to learn to be wary of your surroundings, and if I start running in a while, it's estimated that you won't even be able to see my shadow, and are you planning to die by being so lax?"
"Um, mm."
These words caused Zhang Nian's outstretched left hand to stop, and she retracted it into her sleeve, and turned her head and looked around, but in this place where the visibility was less than two meters, being wary seemed to be useless, and the howling of the gale covered all sounds of footsteps, and every step that she took seemed so difficult, and if she stepped down, it would be a pit that was a few dozen centimeters deep, and she also didn't know if the road that had been buried by snow in front was just a hole…
Yuuki was walking in front, and Zhang Nian was walking along the path that the former had walked out, and it effectively reduced the consumption of her body's energy, and she was resisting the bone-chilling cold wind.
The two were slowly moving forward in this vast sea of snow, as if they were groping forward in the darkness, and no one knew what would happen in the next second, and no one knew that an avalanche was coming dozens of kilometers away…
"Here come the bugs again huh…"
A huge figure was slowly moving forward, and it spoke human words, and you could see that the figure, who had blended into this dark mass, slowly raised both of its arms, and then, the snow that was attached to the rock wall started to peel off, and then collapse!
It was like a tsunami, and it was falling from the peak that was more than four thousand meters above sea level, and it took away the other loose snow along the way, and it pressed towards the group, who were climbing the peak.
"The deathly silent snow mountain, it's going to become lively huh…"
This low roar was quickly drowned out by the sound of the snow sliding down like a waterfall, and the snow, which had been accumulated for a long time, had finally come in handy at this moment, and that was to drown the visiting "guests".
It was also the so-called appetizer, after all, this place had been silent for a long time, and torturing them was also one of the 『Snow King's』 interests.
"Thump!! Clang!!"
"Did you hear any sound?"
Zhang Nian, who was following behind Yuuki, stopped her footsteps, and she, who had relatively sensitive ears, reminded him, and she seemed to have heard something quickly rolling down.
"Mm, an avalanche is coming, and it's not small."
In his senses, the speed at which the avalanche was coming was moving forward at a speed of dozens of meters per second, and its height was about fifty meters, and they would be drowned in less than a minute.
"Ha! An avalanche?!",
Zhang Nian was stunned, and then she immediately bent over, and her cold hands quickly pawed at the snow on the ground, and she wanted to dig a pit that wouldn't be washed away before the avalanche had come, and anyway, she had an oxygen tank, and she wouldn't suffocate, and she would definitely die if she was washed away by the avalanche, after all, the guy in front of her had said that she had to rely on herself to survive, and she was proving with her actions at this moment that she could live alone.
"Not too stupid yet."
Yuuki looked at Zhang Nian's neat movements, and his cold left hand silently took out a 『Bird』 from the sling bag, and as he made a hand seal with his right hand and shouted softly, he grabbed the leg of the formed "Golden Eagle" and flew into the sky, and he had just left Zhang Nian alone to dig a pit on the ground.
"..."
Seeing that Yuuki could actually fly, Zhang Nian, whose hands had been frozen to the point that they had turned red, was stunned, and the words that he had said rang out in her mind:
'You might not even be able to see my shadow if I start running in a while.'
And now, he had indeed run, and he had run very neatly, and he had just left her alone… to face the avalanche that was about to come.
"Yuuki, you inhumane guy!!"
After cursing loudly, Zhang Nian then continued to dig at the snow on the ground, and even though her hands were cold and had gradually lost sensation, she would die when the avalanche came in a while if she didn't risk her life!!
