Magic Chu Yang heard this, shook his head, "I don't know. It seems to be an ordinary world, with nothing strange about it. After sharing memories, I still can't see any clues."
Naruto Chu Yang widened his eyes, "How could it be an ordinary world? Let me take a look!"
Pirate Chu Yang and Demon Slayer Chu Yang also heard their conversation.
They were equally curious, so they followed along.
After everyone shared their memories, they discovered that the two newcomers were both students studying in rural towns, and the world backgrounds were modern Japan and the United States of America, respectively.
What was interesting was that both of them were about to enter new schools for high school.
"That's unscientific," Magic Chu Yang stroked his chin, frowning. "From past patterns, the probability of transmigrating to an ordinary world is very low. How could both of them be from ordinary worlds?"
"Good heavens, you, a magic user, actually want to talk about science?" Pirate Chu Yang couldn't help but retort, "A low probability doesn't mean the possibility is zero, does it?"
The Japanese high school student Chu Yang said enviously, "I really envy how exciting the worlds you all went to are. My life now is basically the same as before I transmigrated; I'm bored to death."
The American high school student Chu Yang also sighed, "You don't know how bad the infrastructure is in small towns in the United States of America. The signal is terrible. Here, as soon as it rains, the TV and internet all die. It's been raining almost every day since I transmigrated, and I haven't even watched TV properly."
Demon Slayer Chu Yang laughed, "If you can't even watch TV, then your era isn't much different from mine."
Magic Chu Yang suddenly realized, "No wonder there's no information in your memory. I remember the time over there was 2008, right?"
The American high school student Chu Yang nodded.
Demon Slayer Chu Yang's eyes lit up, "Get a ticket, go home and watch the Olympics!"
His wild idea stunned everyone for a moment.
Pirate Chu Yang couldn't help but retort, "It's just a parallel world with a modern background; where would there be an Olympics?"
The others mocked Demon Slayer Chu Yang for a while before continuing to discuss the two high school student Chu Yangs.
They believed that whether or not it was an ordinary world didn't really matter. Even if there were no special abilities to learn, the two high school student Chu Yangs could work with Magic Chu Yang on logistics, do some research, and share the pressure.
In short, everyone was happy that new people had joined, as everyone who came in was "themselves," making it easy to unite.
However, Pirate Chu Yang and the others didn't know that after the two high school student Chu Yangs returned to their own worlds, their lives suddenly underwent earth-shattering changes.
...
Japan, a rural town.
Chu Yang lived on a small island here. His family had died in a tsunami several years ago, leaving him alone to study and live.
The school on the island, due to a perennial lack of students, decided to close. Chu Yang's class became the last batch of students, and those who wanted to continue their studies had to go to schools in outside cities for high school.
Many chose to drop out and inherit their family's fishing work. Chu Yang originally had such plans too.
But!
He was suddenly summoned to the Soul Palace and received this belated cheat.
Upon his return, Chu Yang immediately decided to leave this small island; he didn't belong here.
Chu Yang sold the property left by his family and all his valuables, preparing to go to a big city for school.
A week later, Chu Yang rented an apartment near the school and began his brand new high school life.
As he entered the campus, Chu Yang glanced at the school monument beside the main gate.
It read "Karakura First High School."
Chu Yang inexplicably felt this name was familiar, but he didn't think much of it and walked through the school gate with other classmates.
A moment later.
When his classmates were introducing themselves, Chu Yang suddenly felt something was off.
"Hello everyone, my name is Kurosaki Ichigo. Please take care of me from now on."
The boy with spiky orange hair said this on the podium, his expression looking somewhat cold. People like this usually have somewhat reclusive personalities, but it doesn't rule out the possibility of being cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
"Haha, it shouldn't be, right? Maybe it's just that the name and appearance are a bit similar." Chu Yang's mouth was dry. He had just accepted the setting that this world was an ordinary world and was even preparing to go to college step by step.
"Hello everyone, my name is Orihime Inoue…"
Alright!
His high school life might not be as peaceful as he had anticipated…
...
United States of America.
Perhaps because the cheat had arrived, Chu Yang's luck also began to turn for the better, and the continuous gloomy, rainy weather in the small town finally disappeared.
Looking at the clear blue sky, Chu Yang happily hummed a tune and turned on the square-headed TV at home.
This was the second time he had watched TV since he transmigrated.
He was originally looking for some entertainment programs to watch, but Chu Yang flipped through several channels, all broadcasting urgent news.
"It's not like the president died, why the rush?" Chu Yang complained a few times, picked up a glass of water, and brought it to his mouth.
Just as he took a sip, the news anchor on the TV began to report the news.
"According to relevant military officials, this morning, Stark Industries CEO Tony Stark was attacked by terrorists in Afghanistan and is currently missing…"
Pfft!
The water in Chu Yang's mouth sprayed out completely.
77. Chapter 77: An Unremarkable High School Student [Seventh Update, Seeking Subscriptions, Monthly Passes]
77.
Ever since he knew that the world he was in was the Soul Society, Chu Yang always felt that there were some inexplicable presences around him, between reality and illusion.
But in fact, this had nothing to do with his perception.
The reason Chu Yang could see things he couldn't before was because after sharing his innate abilities, his soul was also affected.
The good news was that he could see them.
The bad news was that he had a bit of trouble distinguishing between people and ghosts.
If he hadn't shared the memories of his other "selves," Chu Yang would probably be on the verge of a mental breakdown by now.
It takes time to learn to distinguish souls, and Chu Yang often made a fool of himself during this period. In the eyes of many classmates, Chu Yang already had the label of a "weirdo."
Some of Chu Yang's strange actions were also noticed by Kurosaki Ichigo, giving Kurosaki Ichigo a sense of déjà vu, just like when he first saw souls as a child.
A week after school started, Chu Yang gradually got used to it and was no longer startled by the sudden appearance of souls.
So far, most of the souls he had seen were very friendly. They just quietly stayed in a specific area, silently remaining in the human world.
Every soul had its reasons for clinging to this world, but they all irreversibly moved towards the same ending.
As time passed, even friendly souls would gradually become irritable and begin to show actions that harmed passersby.
Chu Yang, as usual, walked along the road towards his apartment, and then at the corner, he saw the soul of a construction worker wearing a hard hat suddenly rush towards a moving car, seemingly intending to attack the driver.
Chu Yang quietly appeared behind him, his hand, wrapped in Haki, easily captured the construction worker's soul, lifting him up like a chicken.
Haki was still effective in this world, which surprised Chu Yang. Thinking about it carefully, Haki didn't seem to affect the elementalized bodies of Logia Devil Fruit users, but rather the rules generated by the Devil Fruit itself.
Powerful Haoshoku could even break some special effects of Devil Fruits.
From this perspective, it was not surprising that Haki could touch souls.
Even when held in Chu Yang's hand, this construction worker uncle still wouldn't settle down and showed strong aggressive desires.
This was the after-effect of staying in the human world for too long; he had gradually lost emotion and reason.
However, very quickly, Chu Yang helped him regain his reason.
He used his large, fan-like hand to slap him several times, making the construction worker uncle's face swell up.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
"Stop hitting, young man, stop hitting! If you hit me again, I'll really ascend to heaven!"
The uncle grabbed Chu Yang's arm and pleaded bitterly.
"Oh, you've woken up," Chu Yang's face showed a lingering expression, then he asked, "Uncle, why aren't you reincarnating? Why are you staying here? Look at you, you were just about to attack passersby."
The uncle seemed to be an honest person. Even though he was already dead, he kept saying sorry, but it was unclear if he was truly apologetic or simply afraid of Chu Yang's big slaps.
Chu Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Uncle, I don't know what regrets you have, but in your current state, nothing you do will help, right?"
The uncle opened his mouth, speechless, like a deflated ball, standing sickly in place with empty eyes.
Chu Yang hated to see that expression the most. If this uncle had dared to bare his teeth at him, he wouldn't have felt so bad; he would have beaten the other party until he was looking for his teeth all over the ground.
But this uncle, no matter how you looked at him, was an honest person, and he looked like he had died an unnatural death, making it hard not to feel sympathy.
Chu Yang said helplessly, "Oh, just tell me, is there anything you want me to help you with? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."
The uncle suddenly looked up, and light suddenly reappeared in his eyes.
The construction worker uncle's name was Yosuke Honkawa. He was a worker at a company called Tozawa Construction, where he had worked for nearly fifteen years, a true veteran employee.
The road section underfoot was a project of their company half a year ago, mainly for maintenance.
At that time, the boss, in order to shorten the construction period, made the workers rush the work overnight, and to save costs, did not place warning signs or lighting in front of the construction section.
Yosuke Honkawa was hit by a speeding car at night and died on the spot.
According to the law, the boss of Tozawa Construction Company needed to pay a sum of money to Yosuke Honkawa's family, but after Yosuke Honkawa's death, this money remained unpaid.
As the sole breadwinner of the family, Yosuke Honkawa's wife and children, after losing him, lost all their financial income, and their lives became very difficult.
Just thinking about what his family had gone through in the past six months, Yosuke Honkawa almost went berserk again.
Chu Yang reminded him, "You should actually go strangle your boss."
Yosuke Honkawa said dejectedly, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but if I strangle him, my family will never receive the compensation money. They really need that money to live on."
Chu Yang clapped his hands and nodded, "Alright then, I'll go get that money back for you."
"Thank you, young man," Yosuke Honkawa had already tasted Chu Yang's fists, so he had no doubt about his abilities.
A moment later, Chu Yang followed the address provided by Yosuke Honkawa and found the Tozawa Construction Company. Chu Yang politely asked the receptionist, but unfortunately, Mr. Tozawa, the boss, was not in the company.
