Chapter 40 Fujimaru Ritsuka’s Abandoned Hole
"here is?"

Gojo Satoru looked at the dark and chaotic space in front of him and fell into deep thought.

If I remember correctly, he should have just fallen asleep not long ago.

Is it a dream?

But it’s too bad to have such an inexplicable dream, right?
"This is Ritsuka's abandoned hole."

Suddenly, a male voice came from behind and answered Gojo Satoru's question to himself.

Gojo Satoru turned around and saw a man wearing a dark green hat, cloak and suit suddenly appeared, standing behind him.

"Abandoned holes? I said, don't throw out some new settings casually."

"Besides, it's polite to introduce yourself before talking to others, right? So, who are you, this little brother?"

The man replied calmly:

"I am Fujimaru Ritsuka's servant, you can call me Cave King."

Is the Servant the type of Jeanne d'Arc Alter?Why have I never heard Ritsuka talk about it before? Moreover, the cave king
".The Count of Monte Cristo? Are you Edmond Dantès?"

After seeing through the real name of the person in front of him, Gojo Satoru looked him up and down in surprise and said:

"Hey, hey, isn't it?! Can you summon even fictional characters in novels? Isn't this ability too cheating?!"

However, the Cave King corrected his statement:

"No, I'm just the Cave King."

"After "Edmond Dantès" completed his fierce revenge in Paris, he abandoned his evil deeds, and I, who appeared as a Servant, will continue to exist as the "Idol of Vengeful Ghosts".Therefore, we are not the same individual. "

"Is that so, okay, okay."

Gojo Satoru nodded thoughtfully, because Jeanne d'Arc Alter also had such a paradoxical existence, so he could understand quickly.

Could it be that all the servants summoned by Fujimaru Ritsuka are composed like this?
No, more strictly speaking, we can only infer that Jeanne d'Arc Alter and the Cave King in front of us are similar types of beings.

"In that case, let me introduce myself."

"My name is Gojo Satoru, I am the strongest magician in the world, and I am currently Fujimaru Ritsuka's teacher. Please give me your advice~!"

After Gojo Satoru introduced himself, he smiled and asked:

"Then the question-and-answer session will follow, right?"

"For example, where is this place? What does the abandoned hole mean? Why do I appear here? And what do you want me to do?"

The moment he learned the identity of the Cave King, he already knew that he would never come to this place accidentally.

The man named Cave King in front of me is probably the reason why he appears here.

Faced with a series of questions that were bombarded by Gojo Satoru, the Cave King answered them one by one in an orderly manner:
"This is the inside of Fujimaru Ritsuka's abandoned hole. It is an imaginary space that should not exist."

"The so-called [virtual] means [theoretically exists but does not exist in practice]. The imaginary number space is the inside of the world, an imaginary space that contains all possibilities."

That is, a space containing all possibilities that should not exist.

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru interjected and asked:

"If it's a space that shouldn't exist, why does it exist in Ritsuka?"

The Cave King glanced at him and said:

"For the time being, this place [exists] only for us who are currently in it. For people from the outside world, including Fujimaru Ritsuka, this place does not [exist]."

"After you leave this space, you no longer know everything here."

Gojo Satoru was thoughtful after hearing the words, and he keenly noticed a wording used by the Cave King in the narrative - temporarily.

Does this temporary mean that this space only exists temporarily, or does it just not exist temporarily?

The Cave King continued:

"The abandoned hole can be simply understood as a place used to discard "bad things", that is, a place where malignant information and residue accumulate." "What is carried in the abandoned hole is the ill will of Fujimaru Ritsuka's enemies along the way. , curses, the residue of death, and her own negative emotions and stuff like that.”

"It sounds like I'm talking about territory I'm familiar with, but"

Gojo Satoru rubbed his chin and looked at the seemingly endless chaos in front of him, wanting to carefully check where these so-called negative emotions were.

However, slowly, he seemed to realize something, and the frivolous smile on his face gradually disappeared.

His six eyes fed back to him a terrifying truth——

".Is this the entire space in front of you?"

"Yes."

The Cave King's calm reply instantly silenced the atmosphere. After a long moment of silence, Gojo Satoru murmured to himself:

"What on earth did Ritsuka go through to be so terrifying?"

"If you are really curious, you can ask her directly. I think she will not be stingy about sharing her experience."

Gojo Satoru didn't speak, he just looked at the chaotic space in front of him that seemed to have no boundaries, endless, and no end in sight.

Being in it, not even his six eyes could pry into it, and he even subconsciously blocked this knowledge, as if he chose to deliberately escape reality like a coward.

If these chaos were brought into reality, I'm afraid the whole world would be destroyed in an instant, right?
Thinking of this possibility, Gojo Satoru felt shuddering for the first time in a long time.

At this time, he asked:

“What will happen if we allow this space to continue to accumulate?”

"."

This time, the Cave King didn't answer.

But this is also a silent answer.

Don't know?Still can't say?

At this moment, Gojo Satoru suddenly recalled the cave king's introduction to this space - this is an imaginary space that should not exist and contains all possibilities.

Since all possibilities are included, that is to say——

If you say it, will it become reality?
hiss--

At this moment, he finally realized that his judgment of Fujimaru Ritsuka was biased again, or in other words, his first impression of Fujimaru Ritsuka was correct——

Fujimaru Ritsuka is indeed a super troublesome person!

Unfortunately, it is too late to realize this now.

If he had learned this news when he met Fujimaru Ritsuka for the first time, he would definitely have driven Fujimaru Ritsuka out of this world at the expense of his life.

But now, Fujimaru Ritsuka is a student at a high school.

And he is her teacher.

".This time I was really unlucky. I encountered such a horrible mess."

He complained like this, but the same frivolous smile as always appeared on the corner of Gojo Satoru's mouth again unknowingly.

The Cave King saw Gojo Satoru's transformation from the sidelines. Seeing this, he continued:

"As for why you appear here, to put it simply, I invited you."

"I didn't force you into this space. As you can see, this is by no means an endless hell that you can enter and exit freely."

"The reason why I can invite you to enter this place is because of an important condition——"

"You have established a bond with Ritsuka, or in other words, you truly recognize her from the bottom of your heart. This is the basis for everything now."
