"So that's how it is!"
After Guhan finished reading the entire 《Investiture of the Gods》, he finally had a systematic understanding of the six saints in the world, as well as the origins of the Heavenly Court.
Originally, with Guhan's intelligence, he would have been able to finish reading the entire 《Investiture of the Gods》 within two days.
But in order to not let go of any details, Guhan spent nearly 15 days to carefully finish reading 《Investiture of the Gods》.
And during this process, Guhan met two other Yuan Kou who were lost in the Seamless Corridor. One was a peerless expert named "Heretic God of Fire Cloud", and the other was a Japanese called Yinshi Sakata. These two seemed to have met Guhan before, and they even warmly greeted Guhan. Guhan learned some information from them, and he knew that they were sent into the Seamless Corridor as sacrifices around the years 2600 and 2700 AD.
Both the Heretic God of Firecloud and Yinshi Sakata were extremely powerful; at the very least, they had the power of a Universe-level bandit. But according to what Yinshi Sakata had said, he was the weakest of all the people he had met in the Seamless Corridor.
In other words, the lowest power limit for the sacrifices was the Yun-level Yuan Kou.
This also explained one of the biggest questions in Guhan's mind. Why did so many outstanding Yun-level Yuan Kou suddenly disappear without a trace, and there were no records of humans killing them?
Now it seemed that these Yuan Kou were all thrown into the Seamless Corridor as sacrifices.
But this also made Guhan even more curious. What kind of existence was the Seamless Corridor? It actually forced the Yuan Kou to throw a powerful Yuan Kou into it as a sacrifice every ten years.
And Guhan also asked the two people he met, but they both shook their heads, saying that apart from knowing that if they didn't throw in sacrifices, the Seamless Corridor would further devour dimensional spaces, they didn't know anything else.
Devouring dimensional spaces sounded like a reasonable explanation, but when he thought about it, it didn't make much sense.
Dimensional spaces were so big that they were even bigger than the entire universe. So what if the Seamless Corridor devoured a part of such a huge space?
Time slowly passed. By the fourth month of Gu Han's stay in the world of the Seamless Corridor, Gu Han suddenly encountered someone he would never have guessed would be here.
"Sister Miqin!"
Guhan called out the name of the person in front of him in disbelief. This was because the person who appeared in front of Guhan was his godsister, Misaka Miqin.
Although Guhan was very happy to see someone he knew, the problem was that Misaka Miqin was in the Seamless Corridor.
A month before Gu Han entered the Seamless Corridor, he had contacted Misaka Mikoto, hoping that she would be able to help his disciple, Lu Xihua, if it was within her capabilities.
With the existence of the mayor of the Seamless Corridor, the Seamless Corridor was one of the safest places on Earth. How could Misaka Miqin suddenly appear in the Seamless Corridor like him?
With the existence of the mayor of Freedom Metropolis, Freedom Metropolis was one of the safest places on Earth. There was no way Misaka Mikoto would suddenly appear in the Seamless Corridor like he did.
"Could it be that something happened in the future that caused Misaka Miqin to be captured as a sacrifice?"
Guhan immediately thought of a possibility. At first, Guhan instinctively thought that Misaka Miqin was imprisoned in the Seamless Corridor before he entered, so Guhan was very puzzled.
However, Guhan neglected one thing. In this world of the Seamless Corridor, the person he met might not necessarily be the Misaka Miqin from the same time period or before him. It was very likely that he would meet a Misaka Miqin who entered the Seamless Corridor a few hundred years later.
Who could say for sure what would happen a few hundred years later?
Therefore, the current Misaka Miqin might have been captured into the Seamless Corridor a few hundred years later in the real world. That would explain why he was able to meet Misaka Miqin.
With that thought in mind, Guhan became even more excited. If Misaka Miqin was really captured a few hundred years later, it would mean that she already knew what was going to happen in the future. She would also know whether he would be able to escape with Artoria from the Seamless Corridor in the future. That would be equivalent to him knowing the future!
With that thought in mind, Guhan rushed up to Misaka Miqin and asked.
"Who are you?
Why are you so close to me?
Get away from me! "
What surprised Guhan was that Misaka Miqin's first reaction upon seeing him was to release a strong electric current from her fingertips.
Fortunately, Guhan's reflexes were extremely quick. The moment the electric current appeared, he jumped behind Misaka Miqin and avoided her attack.
"Sister Misaka, don't you recognize me?" Guhan said with a headache when he saw Misaka Miqin's reaction.
"Hmph!
That's such an old pick-up line. You should tell your sister about it!
Although I don't know where you heard of my name, if you dare to come within five meters of me again, I'll let you have a taste of my Super Electromagnetic Gun! "
Misaka Mikoto took out a small coin from her pocket. Gu Han, who knew Misaka Mikoto very well, knew what it meant when Misaka Mikoto took out a coin.
However, Guhan was not afraid of Misaka Miqin's Super Electromagnetic Gun. Such an attack would not be able to hurt the current Guhan. However, when Misaka Miqin used the Godly Electromagnetic Gun, Guhan would still be a little afraid. After all, the Godly Electromagnetic Gun could already hurt Guhan's body.
"Miss Miqin, why don't you recognize me?
I've never heard that entering the Seamless Corridor will cause one's memory to disappear!
Could it be that my guess just now was wrong, and things are not like this? "
Guhan thought to himself. Misaka Miqin did not seem to want to talk to Guhan at all. The two of them fell into silence.
After a few minutes, the arrogant Misaka Mikoto could no longer hold it in. After hesitating for a while, Misaka Mikoto suddenly asked Gu Han, "Hey, let me ask you. Have you ever seen a man who's slightly taller than me, likes to wear a white shirt and black pants, has messy hair like a hedgehog, and has a right hand that can make all superpowers disappear?" "That's right." Gu Han did not know how many minutes had passed.
"…" After hearing Misaka Miqin's description, Guhan thought for a while and said, "Miss Miqin, are you talking about a guy called Jōjō Dōma?"
"That's right!
It's that guy. You've met that guy here, right? Where is he?
Which direction should I run in to find him? "Misaka Miqin became extremely excited when she heard Guhan's words.
"It doesn't matter which direction you run in. Once the space-time here changes, the distance will change as well. It's the same no matter which direction you run in!"
Guhan replied calmly. However, he was even more curious. Were Misaka Miqin and Jōjō Dōma not living well in the Freedom City?
Could it be that the two of them were trapped in the Seamless Corridor?
"Hey!
What do you mean?
Why can't I understand a single word you're saying?
Can you please make your logic clearer! "Misaka Miqin who was on the other side said in confusion.
"What?
Miss Miqin, don't you know the truth about the Seamless Corridor?
Have you just entered this world? "Guhan asked with narrowed eyes.
"That's not it!"
Misaka Miqin lowered her head in shame. "Actually, I've been in this damned world for fifty to sixty years. I've met a few people along the way. However, they tried to touch me the moment they appeared. In the end, I sent them flying with electricity. That's why I don't know much about this world."
"I see. Then, I'll give Miss Miqin a simple explanation!"
Gu Han smiled bitterly. Although this kind of job was one of the jobs he hated the most, for Misaka Mikoto's sake, he still explained everything about the Seamless Corridor in detail to Misaka Mikoto.
"This place is so strange. If I had known, I wouldn't have come in!" After listening to Guhan's explanation, Misaka Miqin said with a pained and regretful expression.
"Why? Miss Miqin, you weren't captured but walked in on your own?" Guhan asked curiously after hearing Misaka Miqin's words.
"That's right!
I heard that Jōjō Dōma escaped into a dimensional rift to avoid being hunted down. Therefore, I sneaked in and wanted to rescue that guy. In the end, I didn't expect to find him after fifty to sixty years.
It seems like I'm too gullible. He's not even here, "Misaka Miqin said with a bitter smile.
"Miss Miqin, may I ask when did you come in? When you came in, were there any powerful human sword-bearers in that world?" Guhan immediately asked.
To confirm the time when Misaka Miqin entered, he could only confirm it through the famous sword-bearers.
"What sword-bearers?
I've never heard of them. I've never heard of such a name! "
Misaka Miqin tilted her head and looked at Guhan in confusion. Guhan was even more confused. Could Misaka Miqin's memory have really been erased before she entered? Otherwise, how could she have never heard of the words' sword-bearers'?
However, the problem was that Misaka Miqin still remembered her old lover, Jōjō Dōma. Looking at her blushing face when she mentioned Jōjō Dōma, it was obvious that she had a deep impression of him. Could someone really erase Misaka Miqin's memory?
"Wait, don't tell me the sword-bearers you're talking about are those strange humans who can turn swords into young girls to fight!"
Suddenly, Misaka Miqin revealed a look of realization and said, "Aren't those people called swordmen?
Since when were there sword-bearers? "
Misaka Miqin blinked and said with a puzzled expression.
