Chapter 3 - [2] Hey You're Obviously Lying

"What's the rush? Also, I don't see a birthday cake in your hands... Are you really a father?" I said, seeing Toji about to run somewhere.

"What do you mean by birthday?" Toji replied.

"It seems like all your stats are just distributed into Vit, Str, and Dex. The nickname 'monkey' really suits you," I said.

Annoyed, Toji glared at the boy in front of him, who seemed about 18 years old. Just as he was about to say something, the man in front of him interrupted, saying:

"December 22, 2002, is the birthdate of your child named Megumi Fushiguro. Megumi means 'blessing.' From the betting slips I see in your hand, today's date is December 22, 2005, and you're just gambling... So I want to ask, are you really a father?" I said bitterly, recalling my past life.

Damn it. When I think about a father abandoning his child, it reminds me of my real father from my previous life. My parents' divorce turned me into someone obsessed with earning as much money as possible and indulging in leisure. 

My hobbies in my past life were only reading novels. Writing fanfics? That was just an escape, as every main character I wrote reflected my selfish personality. If I lost interest, I would delete the fanfic.

"Miyagi Prefecture, Sendai City, Sugisawa High School. I don't know the way, and I want you to guide me.

Also, is your neglect for your son because your first wife died giving birth to Megumi? If so, give me your address, and I'll raise your child myself since you're nothing but a scumbag."

Everything I said was meant to provoke and infuriate Toji, who stood before me.

Hearing this, Toji spoke in a threatening voice, "Do you want to die?"

Hearing this and noticing zombies approaching, I started running and severed the brainwave receptors connected to neurons transmitting pain signals to the spinal cord and brain. By doing so, I wouldn't need to worry about pain.

Besides cutting off brainwaves to block pain, I severed brainwaves around my eyes, making myself blind again.

"Click, click, click."

Making clicking sounds with my mouth, I moved to a quieter area while saying:

"Guide me to Miyagi Prefecture, Sendai City, Sugisawa High School. If you do, I can promise you one thing: give me 15 years, and I will revive your wife. If you don't believe me, you can kill me," I said while standing before him.

'This is a gamble,' I thought.

"Make me believe you can bring my wife back," Toji said as he gripped my neck, intending to crush it.

"4Eyes," I said.

"What do you mean by 'four eyes'?" Toji asked, annoyed.

"The gods of higher dimensions sealed me and exiled me. To escape from Tartarus, I scattered pieces of my soul across different eras. In one of those eras, the Heian Era, a fragment of my soul still exists—now in the form of a finger.

"If you take me to Miyagi Prefecture, Sendai City, Sugisawa High School, I will find the fragment of my soul from thousands of years ago. Once I consume the finger, an additional pair of pupils will appear in my eye sockets, granting me four eyes."

Hearing this absurd tale, Toji released his grip from my neck.

"Fine. Lead the way. You mentioned '4Eyes,' and if you consume that finger and fail to gain four eyes, I'll kill you right away," Toji said.

"I don't believe a word you say, but I want to ask—if you were so strong that you could resist time-stop abilities, how did you lose?" Toji asked as he ran, noticing the boy keeping pace with him. 'This kid is interesting,' he thought.

The two of them arrived at their destination and looked around the empty school.

"It seems the students have already been evacuated, and the zombie virus spread hasn't been that massive yet," I said as I observed the surroundings.

Finding Sukuna's finger, I saw the papers wrapped around it and tore them immediately.

Now, I was lying on the ground, adjusting my back, placing the finger in my mouth, and biting it.

The ability to manipulate the body perfectly is so useful. Now, I'm making all parts of my body immobile, relaxing my jaw, and swallowing the finger. I immediately lost consciousness.

"I'll accept it. You said I can use this body to commit a massacre, and I can't eat humans unless it's necessary," Sukuna said, laughing madly.

"But you must remember, I control 51% of this body, and you will have 49% control. I will also have access to all your powers." I replied.

"Binding Vow complete and done." Sukuna mumbled.

'The kid in front of me doesn't know about the hand seals to perform Cut/Cleave. He will only have access to the cursed energy I possess,' Sukuna thought, watching as the body of the boy named Kiruma Souichi disappeared from his soul's domain.
